Chapter 601(1/2)
Two days later, Tongshan returned to Tongzhou and prepared to go on the expedition.
Wei Fufeng was in a good mood and was waiting.
Three days later, an unexpected figure suddenly came, the eunuch.
When Chang Quan entered, he knelt down and said respectfully, "I bow to His Highness to the Supreme King."
"Get up." Wei Fufeng said gently.
All of them stood up and stood respectfully.
Wei Fufeng looked at him and he hadn't seen him for many years and felt that his skin had turned dark. In fact, he had seen him once in Guiguan.
At that time, Wei Fufeng did not trust Changquan, and was worried that Li Yutong would rely on Changquan, so he gave Changquan the official position of the transfer envoy, and was responsible for filial piety to the empress of the Tang Dynasty.
Wei Fufeng asked, "Where have you been these years?"
Changquan replied respectfully: "I have been at the Panlong Jiedu."
Wei Fufeng was surprised that the Panlong Jiedu he built was located on the western coast of Lingnan, and the eunuch stayed in Changchun.
Changquan said again: "I served as a transfer commander in the past. Later, Xuanwu's army attacked Jingzhou. I returned to Chang'an Palace and was ordered to go south to Fuzhou.
His Highness, worried that the marquis was not happy, ordered me to go to Panlong Jiedu to take charge of the affairs, and told me about Panlong Jiedu’s intention.”
Wei Fufeng nodded.
Changquan said again: "I arrived at Panlong Jiedu and felt it was of great importance, so I left and returned to Chang'an Palace and reported to the Empress."
Wei Fufeng frowned.
Changquan knelt down and said respectfully: "I should be damned if I do something wrong without telling the princess."
"You are loyal to the Queen, and you are understandable, get up." Wei Fufeng said softly, "Time has changed, and he is in a good mood, so he can't raise the idea of blaming him."
Changquan stood up and said respectfully: "The Empress felt the kindness of the Marquis, and she hid it from the Emperor's Majesty, responded to the kindness of the Marquis, and granted the eldest daughter of King Mu to Princess Liangde and married him to the Marquis."
Wei Fufeng was surprised and blurted out: "What are you talking nonsense?"
Changquan knelt down and said respectfully: "I dare not talk nonsense. The Empress is the master and grants marriage to Princess Liangde.
The Marquis's Panlong Jiedu was promoted to Panlong Mansion, Princess Liangde, and his fief was Liangde County, Gaozhou. The concubine's son of King Mu was granted the Duke of Hai and settled in Panlong Mansion to spread branches and leaves."
Wei Fufeng looked unhappy. Although the western region of the Lingnan coastal area was a bitter land with barbarians, he could not tolerate the imposed "seizure of power".
Changquan said respectfully again: "Mr. Marquis, Princess Liangde, when he went south, he met His Majesty Queen Guizhou."
Wei Fufeng was stunned and whispered: "I have met the Queen of Qian."
Changquan said respectfully: "His Majesty the Queen of Guizhou said that he needed to ask the husband, and the princess and her party went south to Panlong Jiedu. "
Wei Fufeng understood and whispered: "You have been waiting until now."
Changquan nodded and said respectfully: "The princess has been waiting at the Panlong Jiedu, and has never contacted His Highness Xindu from Fuzhou."
Wei Fufeng whispered: "Are you staying in a guest house? Could it be that you are afraid of committing a crime of forgery of edicts?"
Chang Quan kowtowed on the ground and said in panic: "Please be kind to the marquis, the empress and Princess Mu are close to each other, and the empress takes care of King Mu to settle down in Panlong Jiedu.
But King Mu didn't want to, Princess Mu went there as the commander of the concubine's son and daughter.
The Empress told His Majesty that she would grant the title of Princess and Duke of Prince Mu's children, but she did not dare to say that she would give her marriage to the Marquis.
The imperial edict for upgrading the Panlong Mansion and the princess to marry is all true, but His Majesty the Emperor has not seen it."
Wei Fufeng whispered: "King Mu, His Majesty's brother, I heard that he died at the hands of Liu Jishu."
Changquan nodded and said, "Liu Jishu rebelled and imprisoned His Majesty, afraid that King Mu would get in the way.
In fact, King Mu has no power. His Majesty the Emperor once gave the royal kings to take charge of the army, but the closest King Mu failed to get the army."
Wei Fufeng whispered: "Get up."
Changquan kowtowed, stood up with his eyebrows down and his eyes respectfully.
Wei Fufeng glanced at it and asked, "Is the princess used to being in Panlong Mansion?"
Changquan showed surprise and replied respectfully: "Your Highness the Princess is used to it."
Wei Fufeng asked, "Tell the truth, what is the princess's temperament?"
Changquan replied: "Your Highness the Princess is sixteen years old, with a quiet temperament and a look no worse than Your Highness Xindu."
Wei Fufeng asked again and learned that most of the sons of King Mu's family are in Panlong Jiedu.
Princess Mu has a biological young son.
The princess who gave the marriage was not Princess Mu's biological mother, and she passed away for eight or nine years.
Duke Hai Guo was ten years old and was not the biological child of Princess Mu.
Wei Fufeng was silent and thought, and consciously gave him a place to retreat. Queen He did not pay attention to it, or she resisted and accepted it at that time, and gave it to King Mu in a flexible manner.
After a moment, Wei Fufeng asked, "Are you willing to die for the Queen?"
Changquan's face changed slightly and he replied: "I am willing to go back to Panlong Mansion and commit suicide."
Wei Fufeng was a little surprised and whispered: "You misunderstood. I promised Yutong to do my best to save the emperor and empress. You go to Luoyang and try to rescue the empress."
Changquan said respectfully: "I am willing to go."
Wei Fufeng said gently: "One of my father-in-law who was engaged since childhood, accidentally served as the palace envoy of Luoyang Royal Palace. Go and ask for help and try to escape if you pretend to die."
Changquan was stunned and said excitedly: "I am willing to go."
Wei Fufeng whispered: "If the Empress can get rid of her, she will go to Panlong Mansion to be a grand lady."
Changquan nodded and said, "I remember."
Wei Fufeng whispered: "Don't save more greedily. Any prince is more difficult than the Queen."
Changquan said respectfully: "Don't worry, marquis, I only talk to the Empress. If the Empress cannot bear to leave the prince, I will give up."
Wei Fufeng nodded with satisfaction and asked, "How about Changchun?"
Changquan replied: "Changchun is very good, but he doesn't want to get close to his servants, and only provides daily necessities."
Wei Fufeng asked about the situation in Lingnan again and learned that the maritime businessmen were booming, and there were many rich people willing to invest in overseas investment, with the registered population of Guangzhou City reaching more than 400,000.
Changquan has never seen Changsheng before, he only knows that Changsheng has opened up overseas business paths, but he does not know the specific situation of the navy.
Wei Fufeng asked Changquan to rest.
Changquan hesitated for a moment and said, "Marty, the Panlong Jiedu area, there are also piers suitable for maritime merchants."
Wei Fufeng said: "Not only the Panlong Jiedu, but also the Cape Jiedu in the west, there are also suitable estuaries."
Longquan nodded.
Wei Fufeng said again: "I intended to restore Guilin County, Xiang County and Nanhai County, Panlong Jiedu and Haijiao Jiedu, and Annan Yongguan, all of which belong to Xiang County."
Changquan said: "The Marquis is unwilling to engage in trade with the hostile ones."
Wei Fufeng shook his head and said, "Business and mutual benefit, my rule requires more and better tax operations, so that we will not let go of food because of choking."
Longquan nodded.
Wei Fufeng said: "It's useless to say more. You go to Luoyang first and come back to find me."
"I'll leave." Changquan said respectfully, bowing and taking two steps back, turning around and leaving with his body arched.
Wei Fufeng hoped to see him off, and he understood his long-term house building mentality.
I have the feelings of the Panlong area as my home, or the intention is to open up wealth for the owner and improve the current situation of the hard land.
The area at the estuary is prone to gather people and move towards prosperity. The next day, Changquan came to see Wei Fufeng, received meticulous instructions, and took two guards away.
......
Changquan arrived in Tongzhou in disguise and settled in disguise, crossed the Yellow River the next day and entered the Hezhongfu area.
On the same day, in the imperial city of Luoyang, Yang Mingke, the palace envoy and Jiang Xuanhui, the Privy Councilor, stood at Duanmen waiting for a big man.
The big name is Zhu Quanyu, Zhu Wen's elder brother, and his official position as the governor of Annan, was a member of the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat.
In fact, Zhu Quanyu was once an old farmer with a Xu Guan.
Yang Mingke heard that Zhu Quanyu came to Luoyang to meet the emperor and thanked him.
Zhu Quanyu was old and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty gave the Grand Tutor a merciful resignation.
Yang Mingke felt it was inexplicable. Is it necessary to run to Luoyang from afar to meet the puppet emperor and thank him?
Jiang Xuanhui turned his head and looked at Yang Mingke and said, "Mingyuan Envoy, when the old master comes, I will lead to Renshou Palace to thank you. You will summon all the emperor's brothers and go to Jiuquchi."
Yang Mingke said respectfully: "The emperor receives the order."
Jiang Xuanhui nodded with satisfaction and instructed: "We must not be absent, we must treat the elders solemnly."
Yang Mingke said respectfully: "Please rest assured, sir."
Jiang Xuanhui nodded, waited for another stick of incense, and saw dozens of people coming from the south bank of the Luo River. He saw people walking across Xingjin Bridge, Tianjin Bridge, and Huangdao Bridge.
Yang Mingke saw clearly the leader, with his purple robe and rosy crown, his hair and beard were spotted, and his old face was frosty and wrinkles, as if he had perennial old tree bark, giving people a sense of incongruity as a monkey and a crown.
