Above the Qingshui River.
Cao Yuan and his crew's ship was heading towards Qingshui Wharf at the estuary.
Su Hui said she wanted to go to Yuezhou first, so Cao Yuan planned the same route as Jiang Hai's previous return to southern Xinjiang.
Go to Qingshui Wharf to take a sea boat, and then take a land route to Yuezhou when you arrive in Nanzhou.
Across the Qingshui River.
When Guo Qianqian wanted to cross the river last night, no one was willing to sail at night, so she stayed at the ferry.
As a result, she waited for her father and his group.
Guo Hao took out the token given to him by the old emperor and requisitioned a boat. Seeing that they were dressed as soldiers, the boatman did not dare to refuse the boat.
The last group crossed the river that night and rushed towards Yuezhou in southern Xinjiang.
Capital city, imperial palace.
Yang Hongye got what he wanted and obtained a copy of the old emperor's will. He successfully ascended the throne.
The old emperor naturally suffered a sudden heart attack, and the chance of sudden death in this position is quite high.
King Xuan's army was never used from beginning to end, but his uncle happened to come to congratulate the new emperor on his ascension to the throne and to bear witness.
I think I can go back to the capital to enjoy my old age in the future, without having to stay at the border and suffer.
In the court, many people were actually clear-headed about Yang Hongye's ascension to the throne.
No matter what, the old emperor would not pass the throne directly to the third son without informing the court officials.
But the old emperor is gone, what can we do? Anyone who raises doubts now will be stabbed, this is definitely the consequence.
In addition to some daily matters, the court meeting also discussed the old emperor's funeral.
After the court session, several old ministers with stubborn tempers resigned from their posts, including Lu Youwei and the old Minister of Personnel.
Yang Hongye was also happy to see them resign and be replaced by his own people, which would make him more comfortable.
Everything happened so fast that there was no news anywhere else except the capital.
However, Yang Hongye is already preparing for the coronation ceremony. He will celebrate and grant amnesty at the same time.
By then, all of Darong will know that the throne has changed hands.
The changes in the capital came to an end. The old emperor achieved his most damaging achievement, and the number of soldiers eliminated exceeded 20,000.
…
A few days later.
Yuezhou City.
Jiang Hai and his group arrived in Yuezhou.
Yuezhou is located north of the Wohu Mountains. To the southwest are continuous mountains, and to the northeast is a large plain.
Yuezhou City is larger than Nanzhou, but still much smaller than Xincheng.
This time, Jiang Hai went out thinking that he was going to visit someone, so he didn't act as shady as before and dressed decently.
The guards at the city gate saw that the group was dressed in unusual clothes and thought they were from some high-ranking official family, so they only gave them a quick inspection before letting them in.
"By the way, how do I get to the palace?" Jiang Hai asked the guard at the city gate.
"The palace is in the east of the city. The largest mansion is it."
"Not bad, not bad, the young man has a keen eye."
Young Master Jiang nodded with great satisfaction, gave some tips, and entered the city.
The soldiers guarding the city gate, with excited hearts and trembling hands, looked at Jiang Hai and his team of carriages entering the city, and their hearts kowtowed.
Good man, is this someone from the palace? A reward of several months' salary at a time, even the governor's family is not so generous.
Jiang Hai and his companions entered the city and headed directly towards the east under the admiring gazes of the guards.
Yuchi Ziling changed into proper women's clothes today and sat in the carriage. She also lifted the curtains and looked at the appearance of the provincial capital.
"This Yuezhou City seems to be okay." She said to Jiang Hai who was riding a horse outside.
Jiang Hai nodded and said, "It's okay, but it will definitely not be as well developed as Nanzhou in the future."
"How do you know?" Yuchi Ziling couldn't understand why he couldn't compare to Nanzhou.
"I can predict the future, hehe."
"Well," the young lady was about to say you're amazing when she saw the county government office and pointed at it, saying, "Look, that's the county government office, right?"
"Yes. We are going to the palace." Jiang Hai didn't think there was anything wrong.
The two chatted casually, and they didn't know that the fat young man was now working in this county government office.
The carriage continued driving for a while, and the temporary palace was easy to find, and they soon found it.
When the servants in the palace learned that the visitor was from the princess's family, they hurried to report it. Soon Yang Hongjin and Yuchi Shuang went out to greet them.
When Jiang Hai and his companions arrived at the palace, the fat young man from the county government also came over with Su Cainv.
So, just as Jiang Hai and his wife entered the palace and the tea had not yet been served, they heard a servant come to report that the county magistrate and his wife were visiting.
Normally, he should have someone deliver the visiting card first, but Lu Qian thought it would be better for him to come over himself. If he could meet the person, he would meet him. If not, he would make an appointment and wait.
After Yuchi Shuang heard what the servant said, he said to Jiang Hai,
"Does my brother-in-law know who it is?"
"No, we just arrived. How could we possibly know the county magistrate here?"
"It's Brother Lu Qian."
"Little Fatty," Jiang Hai subconsciously called out to Little Fatty, feeling unwell, and touched his nose and said, "Master Lu, that's a coincidence."
Yang Hongjin asked someone to invite them in and started talking to Jiang Hai and the others.
When Lu Qian and his wife came to the main room, they heard Jiang Hai talking to Yang Hongjin.
"Sixth Brother, you are such a cunning person. My sister-in-law is just a young girl, but you have already targeted her."
"Haha," Yang Hongjin said strategically, "This is all fate, fate."
Calling him "Yue Wang Laoliu" was unbelievable to Lu Qian. The young master of the Jiang family was too casual.
But think about it, he is brother-in-law, so maybe it's okay. It seems that the King of Yue is quite easy-going.
The two walked into the main hall and bowed.
"Greetings to the King of Yue, Princess."
Afterwards, he also greeted Jiang Hai and others.
Jiang Hai felt that it was very awkward to call someone a king or a princess, but the chubby young master was a native of Darong, so naturally he didn't have that feeling.
Yang Hongjin asked everyone to sit down and served tea.
When he met Jiang Hai's eyes, the chubby young man couldn't help but think of the experience of hiding in the car before.
Lu Qian felt a little contempt for this lewd thief who was so extravagant.
It's a pity, too, that a good young lady was deceived by this man and was even fooled by him.
Alas, the world is becoming more and more corrupt and morals are declining.
Although he appears calm on the surface, the chubby young man is filled with emotion inside.
I just don't know if my wife can try it with me. Hey, why did I come up with such an idea?
The chubby young man was shocked by his own dirty thoughts. He shuddered and his mind instantly became clear and he returned to reality.
Jiang Hai sat opposite, completely confused. What was wrong with this fat boy? He was looking at him like that and even shivering.
Young Master Jiang suddenly felt a little nauseous.
He quickly looked away, not daring to meet the fat young man's gaze. It was too scary, too scary.
As everyone started talking, Yang Hongjin coughed twice, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Ahem, um, Jiang..."
He wanted to talk to Jiang Hai about local specialties, but was interrupted by Jiang Hai.
"Don't call Jiang, call me brother-in-law."
