Iron Dynasty

Feng Deshui looked at the Qi Palace.

He set off from Chang'an seven days ago, was exhausted by boat and horse, and just arrived in Qingzhou today.

The Cangzhou Victory shook the court and the opposition, and the arrival of the newspaper in Chang'an made the details of the Cangzhou Victory known to outsiders.

On that day, Xiao Wenxuan entertained the ministers happily, and the next day, he was dispatched to Qingzhou Xuanzhi.

As Xiao Wenxuan's Xiao Huangmen, Feng Deshui personally came to Qingzhou, and he could see that Xiao Wenxuan attached great importance to Xiao Ming here.

Arriving in Qingzhou today, after he showed the token in front of the city gate, he was led by soldiers to Prince Qi's mansion.

His Royal Highness King Qi is here!

He was looking at the slightly simple Prince Qi's mansion when suddenly a voice called out.

After a while, he saw a young man with a face similar to Xiao Wenxuan walked in. This was Xiao Ming, the current King Qi.

Old slave Feng Deshui has seen His Highness.

With a smile on his face, Feng Deshui bowed deeply when Xiao Ming entered the main hall.

Feng Shilang excuses himself. Xiao Ming had a faint smile on his face.

These eunuchs of the Great Yu Kingdom are collectively referred to as Xiaohuangmen, while Feng Deshui belongs to the imperial eunuch in the palace, and the official position above his head is Huangmen Shilang.

Feng Deshui smiled even more, he didn't dare to put on airs in front of this vassal king.

Everyone knows that this vassal king will definitely be favored by Xiao Wenxuan in the days to come.

I haven't seen him for three years. His Highness has become more and more handsome, suave, and the jade tree is in the wind. The old slave almost never recognized His Highness. Feng Deshui's words contained a hint of flattery.

No one in the world dislikes being worn with a high hat. Although this is a polite remark, Xiao Ming still laughed and said, I haven't seen you for a few years, but Feng Shilang is better at talking.

Feng Deshui's eyes cracked with laughter. At this time, he took out the imperial decree in his arms and said to Xiao Ming: Don't say more, Your Highness must know what this old slave is for this time?

Naturally, the royal father wants me to go back to Chang'an. Xiao Ming said lightly.

Feng Deshui nodded and unfolded the imperial edict.

Seeing the imperial decree, according to the rules of the Great Yu Kingdom, Xiao Ming needs to kneel to receive the decree.

Although he had won a battle, Xiao Ming knew very well that his current foundation was still very weak. This battle of defending the city not only weakened the Qingzhou Army, but also cost him a lot of money.

Only this ammunition, artillery and gunpowder cost hundreds of thousands of silver taels.

Therefore, he has not been so arrogant to the point of contempt for imperial power.

He stood in front of Feng Deshui, straightened his body, and was about to receive the order, when Feng Deshui supported Xiao Ming.

His Royal Highness, there are only you and me in this main hall, so there is no need to follow the rules. After reading the imperial edict, it is better to follow me back to Chang'an as soon as possible. Feng Deshui's eyes flashed shrewdly.

Xiao Ming understood, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, this was Feng Deshui showing him again.

The rules are dead, and people are alive, which gives the Huangmen a manipulative space to pass the decree.

Thank you so much Feng Shilang.

Feng Deshui gave face, and Xiao Ming also had to do it. He took the imperial decree and shouted to the outside: Come here, bring the gift.

After a while, three servants came in, each holding a cloth-covered plate in his hand.

Feng Shilang, a little respect, please accept it with a smile. Xiao Ming said.

Feng Deshui's smile grew stronger. This King Qi was a sensible man. He said, In that case, thank you, Your Highness.

Xiao Ming gestured to the three servants, and then the servants uncovered the cloth.

The first plate has gold, this second plate has a bottle of perfume in a glass bottle, and the third is beautiful glass crafts.

Feng Deshui's eyes suddenly lit up.

This gold is second, after all, he has seen a lot of gold and silver things, the important thing is perfume and glass, these things are hard to buy with money.

After all, these two things are only produced in Qingzhou, and there is no semicolon.

Your Highness is so generous, how can this old slave dare to accept it? Feng Deshui walked to the glass and looked at it carefully.

This glass looks like a cow, but there is no such glass product in the palace.

Xiao Ming said with a smile: The waiter came from a long way, this is nothing to worry about.

Feng Deshui was Xiao Wenxuan's side, and he might be able to use him in the future. He still knew the basic etiquette.

As a vassal king, I can't be too petty, and if some yellow and white things can be exchanged for the contacts in Chang'an, it is worth it.

Feng Deshui picked up the perfume again and smelled it, and said, Your Highness treats the old slave so kindly, and the old servant can't take these things from His Highness in vain, right? When we go to Chang'an, there are some things that His Highness should pay attention to.

Sir, please speak. Xiao Ming frowned.

Feng Deshui said: His Royal Highness Cangzhou's victory this time is certainly a great achievement, but there are some things that the courtiers may chew their tongues. The old slave heard that the master and Cui Hao of the faction are preparing to talk about the artillery.

Artillery? This incident was not what Xiao Ming expected. He knew that after the great victory in Cangzhou, the artillery would definitely not be able to hide it.

Apart from this artillery piece, your Highness seems to have promised the soldiers that the former homeland of King Yong would be distributed to them. Another one is that most of the 100,000 barbarians killed by His Highness were once citizens of the Great Yu Kingdom. This Highness must also understand that there will inevitably be a great scholar who accuses His Highness of indiscriminate killing and inhumane, and before going to Chang'an, His Highness should think carefully. Feng Deshui said solemnly.

Slowly nodding, Xiao Ming thought that he was right to give this old eunuch a favor. The information about these people in Chang'an was very well-informed.

As he thought, someone still wanted to make him look ugly.

After all, his credit this time is too great, if they can make Xiao Ming's credit equal, they can feel at ease.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Ming said, The waiter will stay in Qingzhou for two days, and Prince Rong Ben has some preparations, how about it?

It's easy to say, easy to say. Feng Deshui was now focused on the gift Xiao Ming gave him.

Nodding his head, Xiao Ming asked Ziwan to clean up a guest room for Feng Deshui.

He sent Pang Yukun and Zhan Xingchang to the main hall to discuss the news brought by Feng Deshui.

His Royal Highness, my guess is really good. Pang Yukun said with a smile, These courtiers can't do things well, but they are very talkative, especially this Cui Hao, Your Highness, don't underestimate him.

Speaking of which, Xiao Ming is not very clear about the entanglement of the forces in Chang'an City, he said: Now you don't make any detours, this time to Chang'an, this king does not ask for a reward, but only wants to be able to return safely. Of course, if you can win over some of the most powerful forces. it is good.

Zhan Xingchang and Pang Yukun looked at each other, and a trace of excitement flashed in their eyes.

Compared with other princes, Xiao Ming is alone and lonely. If he doesn't know how to win over some courtiers to build some power for himself in the dynasty, if there are changes in the Great Yu Kingdom in the future, Xiao Ming will be very passive.

After all, it is crazy to use the land of the six states against the entire Great Yu Kingdom plus the barbarians.
