Chapter 283: Is the question about Si Nanyan or the epidemic?
"The Ministry of War reports that the Kingdom of Dan has dispatched 300 troops to harass Youbeiping."
“…”
"However, General Xu Shifeng led his troops to the battle and quickly drove this group out of the border. This is the military report submitted by General Xu."
Zhu Feng took the military newspaper coldly and took a look at it.
When he was in Peking, he fought at least a dozen small battles like this every year, so it was not surprising at all.
But this time, the timing was a little strange.
He snorted coldly: "It seems that the Neng Kingdom is trying to make some small moves again."
Jian Ruocheng presented the military report and said, "I have estimated that they took action because they were watching the emperor's military deployment in Yongzhou. The Neng Kingdom and the Yue Kingdom may have had private dealings."
“…”
"If the emperor goes to war with the Kingdom of Yue in the south, I'm afraid the Kingdom of Dian will make even bigger moves."
There was a cold light in Zhu Feng's eyes.
He was not afraid of the Kingdom of Dang, nor was he afraid of the Kingdom of Yue.
However, the collusion between the two neighboring countries would indeed bring him considerable trouble. This time, thanks to He Yi's reminder, he did his best to suppress his anger and did not actually go to war with the Kingdom of Yue.
But there are some things that should be considered.
He snapped the military newspaper shut and said, "Alright, I got it."
“…”
"Do you have anything else to report?"
The officials in front of him all shook their heads. Zhu Feng waved his hand and asked them to leave. He only left Jian Ruocheng and asked him to write an imperial edict for him to send to Beiping, which was nothing more than some words of praise for Xu Shifeng.
Naturally, he would reward this brother-in-law.
After doing all this, he said to Jian Ruocheng, "You can leave as well."
Jian Ruocheng bowed, but did not turn around and leave immediately.
Zhu Feng was so perceptive that he immediately sensed something and looked up at him. "What's up? Is there anything else you want to report?"
Jian Ruocheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "No, I don't."
Zhu Feng frowned slightly: "Then, what do you want to say to me?"
“…”
Jian Ruocheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "This imperial edict needs to be handed over to the Shangbao Division for affixing the imperial seal, but I heard that the female official is not in the Shangbao Division today."
“…”
"Yesterday, when I was at the South Palace Gate, I heard that there was an epidemic in the palace. It was reported by the female officials. I wonder—"
Zhu Feng's eyes flickered.
He was originally holding a pen to review the memorials, when the pen moved slightly in his hand and a drop of cinnabar ink fell onto the memorials.
He slowly put down his pen and said, "Is the Right Prime Minister asking about Si Nanyan or the epidemic?"
When Jian Ruocheng heard his words and met his deep eyes, he quickly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my presumptuous behavior."
“…”
"What I'm asking about is the epidemic."
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at him for a while, then picked up the imperial pen again, lowered his head, and said calmly: "The imperial physician in the palace is here to treat the epidemic, so the Right Prime Minister doesn't have to worry."
Jian Ruocheng didn't dare to ask any more questions and just said softly, "Yes."
After saying that, he walked out.
As soon as I walked out of the Wuying Palace, a cold wind blew outside, and I immediately felt a chill and dampness on my back.
Just now, it was just a few words, but for some reason, the aura emanating from Zhu Feng was more frightening than the flashing swords and shadows on the battlefield.
However, he still didn't ask about Nan Yan's news.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, when he looked up, he saw a slender and beautiful figure appear in front of him.
