Chapter 418 No Mercy
"Ye Zheng!"
Zhu Feng lowered his head and interrupted him: "You talk too much."
Ye Zheng quickly shut his mouth.
Although it was obvious that Zhu Feng was not angry, his current attitude clearly showed that he was unwilling to talk more about this matter.
Strangely, after the incident with the special envoy from the Kingdom of Dian, Ye Zheng always thought that Nan Yan had finally made some meritorious service and should be able to be canonized.
Even if you don't confer a title on them, at least their slavery should be abolished.
Unexpectedly, there was nothing.
Although the pagoda poem she wrote that day was circulated throughout the court and the country, she was still just a small female official beside Zhu Feng and was still a slave.
Your Majesty, what are you thinking?
Ye Zheng looked up at him, but Zhu Feng didn't even raise his head. He just said coldly, "If you came here just to gossip, then leave."
Ye Zheng hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, all other preparations for this trip north have been made, except for one thing—"
"What?"
"How many troops does the emperor intend to bring?"
Zhu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Only one guard from Taining will be enough."
"Only the Taining Guard?" Ye Zheng was startled and said quickly, "Isn't this too little?"
“…”
"Isn't the Emperor worried about the Kingdom of Neng? What if——"
"There's no such thing as a one-time event. I know that myself." Zhu Feng's eyes were steady as he said calmly, "If they really have any intentions, the garrison in Beiping will be enough."
“…”
After hearing what he said, Ye Zheng stopped talking.
Indeed, when he started the rebellion, he left a group of elites in Beiping. Later, he let the queen's brother Xu Shifeng garrison Beiping. Although Xu Shifeng was a relative and not as capable as Zhu Feng, he was also a capable fighter.
So, Ye Zheng said softly, "Yes."
After he finished speaking, he stood there and did not leave immediately. Zhu Feng noticed and looked up at him: "Is there anything else?"
"Well……"
Ye Zheng said hesitantly: "The female official she——"
"I have my own plans for her."
Zhu Feng said with a serious face: "No need to say more."
"……yes."
In the end, Ye Zheng did not dare to disobey him and could only retreat cautiously.
As soon as I walked out of the gate of Wuying Palace, I saw Heyi standing outside with his arms folded, with a half-smile on his face.
He said, "Has the Emperor scolded us again?"
Ye Zheng said angrily, "You old Taoist priest, you're just standing outside listening to the fun."
“…”
"Come in and say a few words for me."
He Yi shook his head and turned to walk to the side. Ye Zheng hurriedly followed him and heard him say, "You are also clueless. The emperor's meaning is so obvious, and you still ask."
"If I don't ask, who will?"
Ye Zheng said, "At least it was Nan Yan who stepped forward this time. She didn't lose face in front of the special envoy from the Kingdom of Dian, and she even sent that Princess Baoyin away."
“…”
"This is a great achievement. If it happened to any other concubine, her rank would definitely be raised."
“…”
"Why doesn't the emperor show any mercy?"
“…”
"She wasn't even told about her slavery."
The two of them had already reached the stairs. He Yi stopped, looked back at him, and couldn't help laughing while shaking her head: "Ye Zheng, you usually seem quite smart, how come you are so stupid?"
“…”
"I've followed the emperor for so many years, and you can't even understand this."
Ye Zheng was unconvinced: "You see it clearly, tell me!"
