Golden Age Of Phoenix: Tyrant’s First Class Virtuous Imperial Concubine

Zhu Feng walked slowly to Cui Yuanmei and looked down at him.

This person was the long history of the Yanwang mansion when he was still king of Yan. After he ascended the throne, he followed him to visit Yongzhou. After dealing with King Jing, he left him to work in Yongzhou and was promoted to Zhizhou within a few years. , has been doing so for more than ten years.

Today, Cui Yuanmei's hair is gray, and when she kneels on the ground, her thin shoulder blades are also raised high.

With a heavy old-fashioned look.

Seeing him, Zhu Feng's expression suddenly became a little dignified.

To this day, most of the people around him who followed him from Prince Yan's mansion have withered away. Even, the people who followed him to visit Yongzhou back then were only left with Nan Yan. When he suddenly saw this person, he let him. Some emotions. Zhu Feng sighed lightly, leaned down and helped Cui Yuanmei up himself, and said, "Why are you so old?"

The officials around were stunned.

No one expected that His Majesty the Emperor would be so condescending, and Cui Yuanmei obviously did not expect to receive such courtesy from the Emperor, her eyes suddenly turned red, her gray beard kept trembling, and she said softly, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen, Wei Chen—"

Seeing his trembling appearance, Zhu Feng sighed softly.

Said, "Let's go."

So they took Cui Yuanmei and walked into the state capital together.

The surrounding officials were very surprised, but Nan Yan could somewhat understand Zhu Feng's feelings for the people who followed him when he was still in the hideout. The old man even showed a feeling of almost attachment.

Everyone didn't dare to speak lightly, and just walked inside.

Tables and chairs had already been set up in the lobby. After Zhu Feng walked over and sat down, Cui Yuanmei led officials at all levels to pay homage to the emperor again. Zhu Feng just waved his hand lightly, and then everyone got up and backed out. .

After everyone left, Zhu Feng turned his head to Cui Yuanmei and said, "I said it before, don't make these false gifts."

Cui Yuanmei said: "The emperor forgives his sins. The emperor is naturally sympathetic to Wei Chen, but this is the first time the emperor has visited Yongzhou in more than ten years. Officials at all levels want to see the beauty of the sky, so Wei Chen dared to let them Come over and kowtow to the emperor, if the emperor's tranquility is disturbed, the ministers will take the blame."

Zhu Feng shook his head and did not blame him.

Since he ascended the throne, except for the visit to Yongzhou that King Jing was fortunate to be, he has traveled south and north for more than ten years, but he has never been to Yongzhou again, and has handed over everything here to Cui Yuanmei. Officials at all levels seem to be somewhat unreasonable.

Then Cui Yuanmei turned around again and said to Nan Yan, "Wei Chen pays respects to the noble concubine."

Nan Yan hurriedly let someone help him, and then said with a smile, "Bengong also came to cause trouble to Lord Cui this time."

Cui Yuanmei immediately smiled and said, "How can Wei Chen afford the words of Niangniang? Weichen is only afraid that this time he will revisit Niangniang's hometown, so don't be spoiled by some things."

When I mentioned this, the atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy.

Zhu Feng said: "I have heard Li Bushang say it before, but you can tell me what happened specifically."

Cui Yuanmei immediately said: "It happened at the beginning of last month, right at the border, very close to our camp, Chen Biri was pierced by an arrow in the chest, and he stayed in Doubei Town over there to treat his injuries. ."

Zhu Feng said: "Chen Biri is the prime minister of Yue, how could he come to the border?"

Cui Yuanmei said, "He comes every year."

"Per year?"

"Yes, it has been more than ten years since our country of Yan and the country of Yue agreed on mutual trade, and the exchange of raw silk for food has been going on for more than ten years, but in the past ten years, Chen Biri will write to the king of the country of Yue every once in a while, requesting Revocation of mutual trade between the two countries."

Zhu Feng said: "I know about this matter."

Cui Yuanmei said: "However, the monarch of Yue Kingdom listened more to General Xiahou Jiu on this matter, so the two sides have been arguing for a long time, and because of the interests of mutual trade, more than 80% of the people of Yue Kingdom have become mulberry farmers. In the end, The monarch of the Yue Kingdom promised to set aside 1,000 mu of land on the border and hand it over to Chen Biri, and let him bring some people to still grow food on this land."

Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "How much of the grain production of these fields accounts for the grain of Yue?"

Cui Yuanmei said: "A few years ago, it still accounted for more than 20%."

"What about now?"

“Nowadays—we are transporting more and more grain here, and the price of grain over there is getting lower and lower, and now even the farmers who Chen Biri recruited are running away and scattered, and the rest have been Less than 10%. It's strange this year, it's already spring, and there's still a snowfall, which froze countless seedlings to death, plus—"

Having said that, he paused.

Nan Yan glanced at him subconsciously, but saw that Cui Yuanmei's eyes flickered, she didn't say this half sentence, but seemed to swallow it.

And Zhu Feng didn't blame him for hesitating.

However, Princess Xinping, who was standing beside Nan Yan, looked more and more ugly.

Cui Yuanmei continued: "So, those farmers are making a lot of trouble, and this time Chen Biri also made a special trip to inspect the matter."

Zhu Feng listened, was silent for a while, and then asked, "Is there any news about the murderer?"

Cui Yuanmei said: "No news."

Zhu Feng said: "Is there no wind at all?"

Cui Yuanmei thought for a while, and then said softly: "Chen Biri has been in control of the government over the years, and he has made many enemies. But if you say that he is most at odds with his political views, only the general Xia Houjiu, these two people had a fight the year before. Biri has been holding grudges and wants to interrupt the mutual trade with our country of Yan. In this way, it can weaken Xiahou Jiu's prestige in the court, and let the monarch of Yue Kingdom get rid of his dependence on him. It is said that this time he is leaving Daluo. Before the city, Chen Biri struggled with several ministers to submit a letter, requesting the monarch of Yue to remove Xiahou Jiu's position as general."

Zhu Feng said: "If this is the case, then Xiahou Jiu is the one who will attack him."

Cui Yuanmei was silent for a while, and said, "It looks like this."

Zhu Feng raised his eyelids and glanced at him.

Cui Yuanmei's wrinkled face showed no expression, his heavy eyelids covered his cloudy eyes, and he couldn't see the emotions in his eyes for a while.

Zhu Feng was silent for a while, and then asked: "Then, after Chen Biri was assassinated, what happened in the country of Yue?"

Cui Yuanmei said: "We Chen just got the news the day before yesterday that the monarch of the Yue Kingdom has set off and is preparing to patrol the border. It seems that he is coming to Doubei Town."

"The monarch of the Yue Kingdom..."

Zhu Feng heard the words and narrowed his eyes slightly: "He wants to come to the border in person?"

Cui Yuanmei said: "Yes."

A cold light flashed in Zhu Feng's eyes, and he said slowly, "Li - Wu - Yu."
