As if in a fairyland in the back garden, Feng Yuyan is nestling happily in Zhang Xingfeng's arms, looking at the awe-inspiring flowers and plants around her...
"Second brother, the emperor is here. Second brother, come out quickly!" Lang Feng's voice directly reached Zhang Xingfeng's ears. Zhang Xingfeng frowned, looked down at Yu Yan in his arms, and sighed. Said: "Yu Yan, the emperor is here, we are going out!"
"Oh!" Yuyan nodded, pouting, a little unhappy.
"Let's go. After all, the emperor is here. He has to go out. In a few days, I will take you to visit the entire continent!" Zhang Xingfeng took Yu Yan's hand and said with a smile.
"Really?" Yuyan suddenly raised her head, her big eyes shining, and asked in surprise.
Zhang Xingfeng smiled and nodded. Of course, he had long planned to visit the entire continent, and of course it wasn't just a honeymoon with his wife. The other thing was to find a real treasure place to be the mountain gate of Tianxin Sect.
Yuyan was happy now and immediately pulled Zhang Xingfeng and ran out.
Zhu Li and his third prince Zhu Ming were waiting for Zhang Xingfeng in the hall. Zhu Li was not angry at all for waiting.
Hearing the footsteps, Zhu Li immediately turned around and saw the excited Feng Yuyan running in with Zhang Xingfeng. Zhu Li couldn't help laughing happily: "The relationship between the Zhang family master and his wife is really enviable to others. !Hahahaha…”
Zhang Xingfeng was stunned. Although Zhu Li treated him as an equal, he used to call him 'Marquis Zhang' or 'Mr. Zhang'. When did he call him 'Master Zhang'? Generally, only the heads of aristocratic families would make the emperor call him this. Is it worthwhile to be the head of an earl family
"Today, I came to you to make you a duke. Wouldn't the Zhang family welcome you?" Zhu Li said with a smile.
Zhang Xingfeng was stunned for a moment, but he came to his senses in an instant and said immediately: "Your Majesty is here, how could you not welcome him? Your Majesty, please take a seat, please take a seat!"
Zhu Li nodded with a smile and strode up to the main seat. Zhang Xingfeng also walked up and sat next to Zhu Li. The two sat on either side of the main seat.
Everyone from the palace was standing next to Zhu Li, and Lang Feng and the others could only stand next to Zhang Xingfeng.
Zhu Li first took the imperial edict from Ju Ming, and then handed it directly to Zhang Xingfeng, saying: "This is the imperial edict to make you a Duke, just take it! There is no need to declare the edict."
Zhang Xingfeng was really stunned. He didn't even bother to announce the decree. However, this was the emperor's decision anyway, and it was really troublesome to have his brothers kneel down when announcing the decree. Zhang Xingfeng was also happy and comfortable, so he took the imperial decree with a smile. When he wanted to open it and take a look, Feng Yuyan next to him took it and started looking at it.
"By God's blessing, Emperor..." Just as Li Er was about to bet, Feng Yuyan drank up the imperial edict and glared at Li Er. Only Zhang Xingfeng could enjoy Feng Yuyan's tenderness. Others could not. They are all aggressive.
Li Er immediately shut his mouth. His wife was like this, how dare he speak? And the master is definitely on the side of his wife.
Zhu Li and others couldn't help laughing loudly when they saw it: "The wife of the Zhang family seems to be really powerful, not bad, not bad!" He laughed loudly.
When Feng Yuyan heard this, she seemed a little shy, her face turned red, and she stood behind Zhang Xingfeng and became silent.
Although there is laughter and laughter here, everyone is excited. What does the aristocratic family represent? Even if a family falls into decline, it is not that easy. The terrifying condition that the family's assets must reach at least 10 billion taels is not that easy to meet.
Even if Zhang Xingfeng makes so much money, relying on various means, he only made a few hundred million taels of silver in the past ten years! Zhang Xingfeng still relied on the 500 million taels of silver from the Tuoba family to open his gambling house. Later, he started to really make a lot of money with the furs of the ancient times. But even so, the annual profit is only about 600 million taels, and it is still at its peak period. In two years, it is estimated that there will only be about 300 million taels a year!
In other words, if Zhang Xingfeng did not have the 100 million taels of gold from the treasure, even if he used all kinds of means, he would not be able to achieve that much wealth in less than 20 to 30 years.
But a miracle happened. Finally, a family was established in less than a hundred years, and it was not less than a hundred years, but far less than a hundred years, only a dozen years!
This is another unsurpassable miracle!
In addition to 10 billion taels, becoming an aristocratic family also requires a monopoly on the economy and the ability to completely control the economy. Zhang Xingfeng now has this strength in jade and fur! The gambling houses are almost the same. The gambling houses have a complete monopoly on the mid-to-high-end business.
Monopoly, how difficult this is, who can monopolize it? The Li family used to be engaged in private salt and gambling, and Buzhuang only cooperated with the Yuwen family. And now the gambling business has almost been taken away by Zhang Xingfeng’s Tianfeng Casino!
In other words, the Li family now only has a complete monopoly on private salt! The No. 1 family in the world only has a monopoly in one area. You can imagine how difficult it is to monopolize.
This is just one of the conditions for becoming a noble family!
What a noble family! What a glorious title. Zhang Xingfeng's childhood dream has finally come true. Is Zhang Xingfeng at peace at this moment? To say it was peaceful would be an absolute lie. But at this stage, Zhang Xingfeng also knew that becoming a noble family was a certainty, so he was just a little excited.
As an emperor, did Zhu Li come here personally to deliver the imperial edict just to tell Zhang Xingfeng about this matter
Zhang Xingfeng looked at Zhu Li and couldn't help but smile and said: "The emperor is here this time. Is there anything else that hasn't happened yet? I can see that there is a trace of anxiety in the emperor's eyebrows!"
Zhu Li was startled. He was still worried about what to say. When he heard Zhang Xingfeng said it directly, he smiled and said: "I really have something to come to Zhang Family Master this time! This matter is no longer something I can solve."
Zhang Xingfeng was stunned and said doubtfully: "The emperor manages the entire Ming Dynasty, what problem can't be solved?"
Zhu Li smiled bitterly and said: "It's the ancestor of the Li family and the ancestor of the Yuwen family!"
Zhang Xingfeng said in confusion: "I have also received news that the two of them have this feud for a thousand years, but the decisive battle between the two seems to have little to do with the emperor. Even if the two old guys fight in secret, it is probably not Nothing happened?"
The expression on Zhu Li's face became even more depressed, and he said: "You don't know, two old guys have sent me a letter, saying that in three days, they will have a decisive battle in the Forbidden City. What should I do?"
Zhang Xingfeng frowned. Why did the decisive battle between the two ancestors of the Li family and the Yuwen family have to go to the Forbidden City? It seems a bit too much. Where can't a decisive battle be allowed
Zhu Li looked at Zhang Xingfeng's confused look and said with a wry smile: "I have asked the two heads of the Li family and the Yuwen family about this matter. They said that this matter was decided by the two ancestors and has nothing to do with their family. It’s our ancestor’s private matter!”
Zhang Xingfeng also felt depressed for Zhu Li. The stubbornness of two old guys over a thousand years old was really troublesome, and the decisive battle had to come to the Forbidden City.
Ju Ming suddenly said: "Father, I suddenly remembered something. I think I know the reason. The two old guys must go to the Forbidden City for a decisive battle!"
Zhu Li immediately asked: "Oh, hurry up and tell me!"
Ju Ming smiled and said: "Back then, when Li Shimin won the throne, he had a beloved wife Sha. When Queen Sha and Li Shimin left the palace, weren't they attacked by assassins? At that time, at the Xuanwu Gate in the Forbidden City, that The arrow is more dazzling than the sun in the sky!"
Zhu Li was also immersed in the arrow recorded in the book, and sighed: "Yes, that arrow made everyone blind for a moment. Queen Sha and Li Shimin were both on the Dragon Chase at that time. Queen Sha He blocked the arrow for Li Shimin, and the golden silkworm armor that Li Shimin gave to Queen Sha was completely shot through. It even passed through Queen Sha and hit Li Shimin. The golden silkworm armor that Li Shimin was wearing seemed to have also been shot. It was broken, but Li Shimin saved his life!"
"The Golden Silkworm Armor is a top-notch life-saving weapon. That arrow actually shot through both the front and back layers of Queen Sha at that time. It even passed through and cracked the arrow on Li Shimin's body! It was really terrifying. Yes!" Zhang Yu said with a sigh.
When Zhang Xingfeng heard this, he was shocked. This arrow was so powerful! It is estimated that a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage holding a top-level magic weapon can achieve such attack power!
Zhu Ming said with a smile: "At that time, Li Shimin was frantically chasing these people, but then he stopped. Why? And according to what I learned from various history books, I finally discovered that the ancestor of the Yuwen family, Yu Wenhuaji, was a Tang Dynasty man. The invincible master of the dynasty, but no one has seen him take action, and everyone who has seen him take action has died. I suspect that the arrow was shot by Yu Wenhuaji! Yu Wenhuaji's real method is the art of archery!"
Zhu Li nodded and said: "If that is the case, then it is possible. How much Li Shimin loved his then Queen Sha, it is also recorded in the history books. He went on a hunger strike for seven days, which shows the depth of his love. I also wondered about Li Shimin. Why didn’t we pursue the murderer later? It seems that one was that the killer was too powerful to pursue. The second was for the Tang Dynasty, which had just stabilized at that time."
Ju Ming nodded: "That arrow was so terrifyingly powerful that even a first-class master would not be able to hunt down a master of this level. Moreover, the real power of the Yuwen family at that time was not damaged at all, and many of them were hidden among the people! It is estimated that Li Shimin stopped hunting down the old guy of the Yuwen family for the sake of the stability of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise Yuwen Wenji would go crazy and assassinate court officials and the royal family, and the world would probably be in chaos!"
Zhang Xingfeng and the others also nodded in agreement.
Zhang Xingfeng said: "It seems that in this decisive battle, Li Shimin is going to settle a thousand-year old score with Yu Wenhuaji! If not, they will fight at the Xuanwu Gate in the Forbidden City!" (Tomato I will divide the four gates of the Forbidden City. They are divided into four categories: Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu. Hehe, don’t worry about it, this is a fictional world.)
Zhu Li smiled bitterly: "It seems that's it. I hope it's at Xuanwu Gate. I hope these two old guys don't hit the imperial palace in the Forbidden City." (The imperial palace is within the scope of the Forbidden City. The center of the Forbidden City is the imperial palace. The Forbidden City The royal family lives in the palace, and the royal family lives in the palace)
Ju Ming was also a little helpless: "Who knows what will happen to these two old guys? Their skills are so high. Even if they fight in the Xuanwu Gate, will it affect Chi Yu? We can't do anything about these two old guys. ah!"
Zhang Xingfeng asked with a smile: "Then what are you doing for..."
Zhu Li immediately smiled and said: "Today our main purpose is to deliver the imperial edict to the Zhang family, and the other is to hope that the Zhang family will go to watch the battle, and by the way, we can restrain these two old guys and prevent them from attacking. To the surrounding royal families!”
Zhu Li is also very helpless now. If two old guys have a fight or some big trick, it is normal for hundreds of people to die around them! But the people who died were all royals or royal families. The most terrible thing was that if the two old guys had fought for a longer time, from Xuanwu Gate to the palace, it would have been terrible!
Zhang Xingfeng smiled and said: "Okay, don't worry, Your Majesty. I won't let anyone die around me!" For Zhang Xingfeng, this is very simple. They just need to form a random formation around Xuanwu Gate and the two of them will fight. The remaining power cannot spread outside.
Zhu Li immediately laughed happily: "Haha... With Zhang Family Master's words, I am completely relieved, hahaha... Zhang Family Master's kindness today, I will definitely remember it! Now I will not disturb Zhang Family Master and Zhang Li." Madam, please take your leave now!"
As soon as Zhu Li's matter was settled, he was ready to leave.
Zhang Xingfeng and others immediately got up and sent Zhu Li away.
"Husband, this emperor is really polite to you. He returned his kindness and called me 'Madam'..." Feng Yuyan blinked and looked at Zhang Xingfeng and said.
Zhang Xingfeng smiled without saying anything. He sent the imperial edict to Brother Wang next to him and said: "Brother Wang, put the things away. Haha, I didn't expect Zhu Li to be really fast. I am also a Duke. Yes, haha!"
Zhang Xingfeng smiled and was pulled away by Feng Yuyan who seemed to be in a hurry.
Zhang Xingfeng watched Feng Yuyan pulling him and walked out of the hall, and asked in confusion: "Yuyan, what's the matter? You're pulling me in such a hurry!"
Feng Yuyan stopped suddenly and said: "Brother Feng, didn't you say you wanted to travel the whole world with me? Now you have to deal with the affairs of those two old guys!" As she said that, Feng Yuyan lowered her head. , seemed angry.
Zhang Xingfeng immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, aren't there still three days left? Now I will go out with you for three days. Then, won't I be back with a teleport?"
Feng Yuyan immediately raised her head, smiled brightly, and said, "Okay, hehe, I'm going to prepare clothes first!" After saying that, she ran to her room.
Zhang Xingfeng looked at Feng Yuyan's back and smiled slightly.
"Decisive battle, haha, I'm really looking forward to it!" Zhang Xingfeng suddenly looked in the direction of the Forbidden City, with an inexplicable smile on his lips.
