Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Prince Yun and his men took control of the situation in the palace.

Meng Ang and others had been arrogant for more than ten days and had held power in the Southern Palace for more than ten days. They did not know the true identities of Xie Shang and Jiang Fenghua until their death, and they were unwilling to accept this.

Xie Shang also personally interrogated Song Peng about his identity. They only knew that he was a pirate and had no idea what his relationship was with the vassal state.

Xie Shang went to see King Nan again.

The Southern King was already paralyzed, but he was still very excited when he saw Xie Shang, "Your surname is Xie, and you are from the Great Zhou Kingdom..."

Xie Shang quickly stopped him, "I am just an ordinary businessman now, King Nan, there is no need to be so polite."

King Nan said: "The ancestors of the Meng family once received help from the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom, which led to the establishment of the Southern Kingdom. The ancestors of the Meng family once ordered that the descendants of the Meng family could not be called emperors, but only kings. This is because the ancestors knew that the Southern Kingdom and the Great Zhou Kingdom were inseparable. Without the Great Zhou Kingdom, there would be no Southern Kingdom."

Xie Shang had read the history of the Great Zhou Kingdom. He knew that in addition to having a close relationship with the Southern Kingdom, the Southern Kingdom was also the barrier of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Therefore, Xie's ancestors once said that as long as the Southern Kingdom did not take the initiative to provoke a war, the Great Zhou Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom would remain friends forever.

This is also the reason why the Southern Kingdom and the Great Zhou have trade and cultural exchanges.

When Xie Shang came out of Prince Nan's bedroom, he saw Jiang Fenghua, Jiang Jinyan and others waiting outside the door.

Xie Shang said to Jiang Jinyan, "The civil unrest in the South has been quelled. Spread the news and ask City Lord Yuan and Lin Feng to speed up the process of eradicating the pirates in the South."

"Yes." Jiang Jinyan said.

Meng Yao will be the new king of the Southern Kingdom. At the same time, the Southern Kingdom will soon truly become part of the Great Zhou Kingdom. There will be no need for mutual trade and culture. The Southern Kingdom will voluntarily submit to the Great Zhou.

Prince Yun Shen Aofeng was appointed as the Border General, while Lu Yang continued to be the commander of the customs army. Now they are both officials of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Meng Yao continued to appoint the King of the South to govern the land. His power was not great and he was unwilling to be a high official, as he also knew that he did not have the ability to do so.

Xie Shang let him continue to be the King of the South because of the friendship between the ancestors of the Meng family and the Xie family. The King of the South, like other princes of different surnames in the Great Zhou Kingdom, could inherit the title, but it was not inherited from generation to generation. His descendants would also need to make achievements and accomplish something before they could inherit the title of the King of the South.

The land of Southern Kingdom was under the protection of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Meng Yao did not want to participate in politics, he only liked to do business. He was able to increase the tax revenue of the land of Southern Kingdom, which was also his credit, and the Meng family also had more opportunities.

Xie Shang's decree will also be delivered to them. This is also what he and King Nan have discussed, but that's a story for later.

Xie Shang took Jiang Fenghua out of the palace directly.

Jiang Fenghua asked him, "Is this how the Nan Guo issue is resolved?"

Xie Shang said gently, "All the credit goes to you."

Jiang Fenghua said: "What credit do I have? I am just surprised that it is clearly a dead end, but now not a single soldier has been spent to capture all the rebels."

"Why didn't you sacrifice a single soldier? Miss Jiang made a great effort to fight one hundred people alone. Even without you, this battle would still have to be fought." Xie Shang said.

Jiang Fenghua was stunned, and then said: "What official position do you hold in the Great Zhou Dynasty? How high an official can you order City Lord Yuan to obey your orders?"

Xie Shang said, "It's a position of neither great nor small. I just happened to be ordered to come to the Southern Kingdom. City Lord Yuan's jurisdiction also covers the territory of the Great Zhou, so he also follows orders. I am just conveying the emperor's order."

At this moment, Meng Yao chased out and said, "Miss Jiang, please stay."

The two men stopped and waited for Meng Yao to approach. He bowed slightly to Xie Shang. He already knew Xie Shang's true identity from his father, but he ordered that it should not be revealed.

Meng Yao naturally didn't dare to say anything in front of Jiang Fenghua. Now that his father had agreed to let the Southern Kingdom submit to the Great Zhou, he was also a subject of the Great Zhou.

However, Jiang Fenghua's identity is naturally self-evident. Who else could be the wife of the Emperor of the Great Zhou? It must be the Empress.

He didn't know why she came to the South Country, why she lost her memory, and even why she and the Emperor had been acting with her. He still wanted to come and see her off. He didn't know if he would be able to see her again from now on.

Seeing that he seemed to be very afraid of Xie Qiyun, Jiang Fenghua asked again: "What's the matter?"

Meng Yao said, "Thank you Miss Jiang for your help these days. If it weren't for Miss Jiang, Meng Yao would have died. Miss Jiang, Meng Yao has no way to repay you for your kindness. Please accept my greetings."

Before he knelt down, Jiang Fenghua quickly held his hand and said, "King of the South, there is no need to be so polite. When I first came to the South Country, you took care of me. I want to thank you."

"It is Meng Yao who should thank the young lady." Meng Yao said first.

Xie Shang saw the two people thanking each other, with Jiang Fenghua's hand still held by Meng Yao. He stepped forward and separated the two people, saying in a deep voice, "The person the Southern King should thank the most is me."

Xie Shang threatened sinisterly, staring at him coldly.

Meng Yao was so scared that he didn't dare to say more, "Thank you... Thank you, sir, for your help." Soon Nan Guo also changed his surname to Xie.

Xie Shang held Jiang Fenghua's hand and never let go, saying to Meng Yao, "Perhaps we will have a chance to meet again in Shengjing City. King Nan should work harder to motivate the people and ensure that they have enough food and clothing."

As for border security, naturally there are others to take care of it. He is only responsible for making money, which can be regarded as a contribution to the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Meng Yao said, "Please rest assured, sir. Meng Yao will work hard. If there is a chance, I will definitely try my best to go to Shengjing City."

After leaving the palace, Jiang Fenghua asked him, "Why do I feel like Meng Yao is very afraid of you?"

"Do I look scary? Why would he be afraid of me?" Xie Shang joked with her, "How could anyone be afraid of such a pretty face?"

"Vincent." she said.

"I am the most handsome man in the world. Only someone with my looks can be worthy of a beauty like Miss Jiang Ruan." He boasted to Jiang Fenghua again, fearing that she would dislike him if he didn't let her know that he was also very handsome.

At this moment, Jiang Fenghua realized that her hand had been held by him. She quickly pulled it out. Not wanting to be embarrassed, she quickly changed the subject: "Next, will you return to Da Zhou?"

Xie Shang did not force her to respond, and deliberately said, "I've been out for too long, it's time to go back. I'm leaving, will you be reluctant to let me go?"

"Who can't bear to leave you? I also need to go back to see my parents. I just asked casually, thinking you would stay and deal with the pirates."

"So you are going back to Shengjing too. We are just on the way."

"It's not like there's only one way back to Shengjing. I won't go the same way with you. What can you do to me?" She wanted to go in a different direction from him, whether by water or by land.

After that she left.

He chased after her, "Your elder brother must be staying to deal with things here. He is worried about you returning to Beijing alone, so you can only follow your fiancé."

"I haven't admitted that you are my fiancé." For some reason, Jiang Fenghua suddenly felt a little flustered.

Song Peng hid in the dark and finally saw two people coming out of the Southern Palace. He ran away immediately, and luckily he ran fast.

He thought to himself: What are the identities of these two people in the Great Zhou Kingdom?

He stared at Jiang Fenghua, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
