Episode 10 Chapter 664

A few days later, after repeated negotiations between Zhang Han and Hong Luo, and continuous pigeon messaging between Hong Luo and Liangzhou, the peace talks between Feng and Ning were finally finalized, and it was agreed that one month later, the monarchs of the two countries would go to Zhanghe together to sign the latest chapter of the peace treaty.

In the peace talks between Feng and Ning, although Feng had made certain concessions, it still earned a lot of benefits, especially the huge amount of gold and silver compensated by Ning, which made Feng profitable.

It was precisely because of the gold and silver provided by Ning that Tang Yin successively issued the Nayan Order and the Zhengwu Order TXT download across the country.

This was also the first time that Tang Yin issued the Nayan Order and the Zhengwu Order after he became the monarch of Feng. This time, the impact on Feng was the most far-reaching.

The Nayan Order was to collect the opinions of all Feng citizens on future national policies. No matter what the other party was, whether they were nobles or ordinary people, as long as they could say something about national policies, they could write it down and submit it to the court. Finally, Tang Yin would select and promote talents. The military conscription order was much simpler. It was for each county to select outstanding spiritual talents. Tang Yin only set one requirement for this, that is, the talents reported by each county must have a cultivation level above the spiritual realm.

The military conscription order was easy to implement. The cultivation level of spiritual cultivators could be clearly detected by the insight technique. The trouble was the Nanyan order. Since the Nanyan order was issued, memorials from people from all over the country were transmitted to Yancheng like snowflakes. Without looking at the content, just looking at the piles of memorials was enough to make people feel overwhelmed.

Of course, Tang Yin could not look at them one by one. The work of screening basically fell on Shangguan Yuanji. Fortunately, he was the right prime minister, with many civil servants under him and sufficient manpower. He first classified all the memorials, then took the essence and removed the dross, and finally handed the selected memorials to Tang Yin.

In just a few days, Shangguan Yuanji handed over more than a hundred memorials to Tang Yin.

He had a hard time selecting, but Tang Yin seemed to be very quick. His principle was very simple. He would put aside any memorial that did not have the intention of "holding the emperor hostage to command the princes". He would read carefully the memorials that had this meaning between the lines, and silently memorize the names of the people who submitted the memorials.

Among the memorials submitted by Shangguan Yuanji, there was one that impressed him the most. This memorial was written by a man named Gao Liangjie. In the memorial, he clearly stated that Feng and Ning could not coexist. Even if they negotiated peace, there would be a life-and-death battle in the future. Instead of letting Ning take the initiative, it would be better for Feng to seize the initiative.

Using the emperor, summon Ning Wang Yanchu to Yancheng. If Yanchu really comes, we will detain him as a hostage to control Ningguo. If he dares not come, it is against the emperor's order, and we can justifiably attack him...

Seeing this memorial, Tang Yin was overjoyed. Although Gao Liangjie did not directly write the words of holding the emperor hostage to control the princes, such meanings are everywhere in his memorials. What makes Tang Yin most happy is that he can actually see that there will be a war between Feng and Ning in the future, and he is not as optimistic as others, thinking that after this peace talk, the two countries will be at peace forever.

In the end, Tang Yin selected three people from the existing memorials. The first one is Gao Liangjie, the second one is Wenhao, and the third one is Tang Yu. Tang Yin gave the names of the three people to Shangguan Yuanji and ordered him to summon the three people to the capital immediately. He wanted to meet them in person.

Because he had to sign a peace treaty with Yanchu in Zhanghe in a month, Tang Yin could not stay in Yancheng for too long now.

Shangguan Yuanji was very efficient. It took only five days to bring Gao Liangjie, Wen Hao, and Tang Yu, who were summoned by Tang Yin, to Yancheng.

At noon that day, Tang Yin went to the backyard to have dinner with his three wives as usual. However, when he arrived at Wu Mei's house, he found that Wu Mei was not there. He asked the maids and found out that Wu Mei and Yan Yinghan had left the house.

Tang Yin was full of questions and asked, "When did they leave?"

"It was in the morning!" The maid replied, "The princess came to see the lady and asked the lady to accompany her out for a walk. The lady felt bored in the house, so she went out with the princess!"

"Nonsense!" Tang Yin frowned. This is the capital of Fengguo, but it does not mean it is safe. Tang Yin knows very well how many enemies he has. There are too many people at home and abroad who want to kill him. Wu Mei is his wife, so she will naturally become one of the targets of the enemy. Besides, Yan Yinghan is the princess of Ningguo. She is a dangerous person by instinct. Who knows what she is thinking of taking Wu Mei out.

Thinking of this, Tang Yin asked in a serious tone: "Where did they go?"

"This..." The maid shook her head and whispered: "I don't know."

"When will they come back?"

"I don't know." The maid answered even more quietly, not daring to raise her head.

"I don't know anything!" Tang Yin muttered, waved his hand impatiently, and sent the maid away.

Then, he waved to the hidden arrow personnel hiding in the dark and asked: "Madam Leping followed the second princess of Ningguo out of the house, did you know?"

Several hidden arrow personnel responded in unison: "I know! But the king can rest assured that there are brothers who are secretly protecting the safety of the lady."

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded and asked: "Do you know where they are now?"

"Just now a brother reported that the lady and the princess went to the market on Changshou Street in Dongcheng."

"Okay, I know." Tang Yin paused for a moment and said: "If the lady wants to leave the house again in the future..."

"Should we stop her?"

Tang Yin thought about it, waved his hand and said, "No need!" After all, Wu Mei was his wife, not a prisoner under his house arrest, and it might not be a good thing to keep her in the house all the time. He added, "But you must report it to me immediately."

"Yes! King!" The secret arrow personnel agreed one after another.

The market on Changshou Street! Tang Yin frowned secretly. It was the most lively and prosperous place in Yancheng with the most tourists. I hope nothing unexpected would happen. Tang Yin felt uneasy, and finally decided to go there in person to bring Wu Mei back.

He returned to his bedroom, changed into casual clothes, took the two brothers Yuan Wu and Yuan Biao, and prepared to leave the house.

But before he could leave, he saw Shangguan Yuanji walking hurriedly.

Shangguan Yuanji was also stunned when he saw Tang Yin in casual clothes, and asked: "Your Majesty, what are you doing..."

Tang Yin replied: "I have to go out of the palace, Yuanji, is there anything?"

"The three people, Gao Liangjie, Wenhao, and Tang Yu, who the king summoned, have been brought here by me. Do you want to see them now?" Shangguan Yuanji asked.

Tang Yin thought for a moment and said: "Take them to my study first and let them wait there."

"Oh..." Shangguan Yuanji was a little embarrassed. Although Tang Yin was the monarch, Gao Liangjie, Wenhao, and Tang Yu were just ordinary people, but since they had come thousands of miles to meet them, they were left alone. This was very rude and not a good way to treat a virtuous person.

Seeing Shangguan Yuanji's embarrassment, Tang Yin asked: "What, is there a problem?"

Shangguan Yuanji bowed and said: "Your Majesty, it's better for you to see the three people now."

Tang Yin said absent-mindedly: "I don't have the time now. Let them wait, and see how patient the three are." He made up a random reason.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Tang Yin insisted on not seeing him, and Shangguan Yuanji could not force him.

After Tang Yin explained to Shangguan Yuanji, he walked out quickly. When he reached the gate of the mansion, a guard immediately led the horse. Tang Yin and the Shangguan brothers jumped on the horse and quickly rushed to Changshou Street.

Changshou Street is the largest commercial street in Yancheng, with many shops and vendors. Even if it is not a festival day, there are still many tourists passing by.

It is not an easy task to find Wu Mei and Yan Yinghan in such a large street, but fortunately, there are secret arrows who protect Wu Mei in secret and know their whereabouts. They also received a message in advance and knew that the king had arrived, so Tang Yin and the Shangguan brothers were greeted by two secret arrows as soon as they arrived at the intersection of Changshou Street.

Tang Yin dismounted, handed the reins to a young man who was hiding arrows, and asked, "Where is the lady now?"

"My king, please..."

Before the hidden arrows finished speaking, Tang Yin interrupted, "Don't call me that outside."

"Yes! Young Master!" The hidden arrows reacted quickly and changed his words immediately, saying, "Young Master, the lady is in front, I'll take you there."

"Okay!"

Tang Yin and the Shangguan brothers walked and followed the hidden arrows to the central section of Changshou Street.

The four of them were not riding horses and were dressed in casual clothes, which was no different from ordinary people. If you have to find a difference, it is that the temperament they exude is different from ordinary people.

Soon, the hidden arrows who led the way stopped in front of a jewelry store, looked inside the store, and then turned around and said to Tang Yin, "Young Master, the lady is inside."

Tang Yin walked up and looked inside the store from the door. Yes, Wu Mei and Yan Yinghan were in the store. The two girls were talking and laughing, and from time to time they picked up the jewelry on display and compared it with themselves.

He was going to go in, but after seeing Wu Mei's brilliant smile, he took back his steps.

It has been a long time since I saw Wu Mei laugh so happily like this. After becoming the wife of the monarch, there are too many rules and too many etiquettes to abide by. Wu Mei's originally innocent and cheerful personality has become more and more dull, and the smile on her face has become less and less.

Tang Yin knew that Wu Mei liked him and loved him deeply. It was because of this that she could endure all this. He wanted to bring her enough happiness, but some things were not determined by his will.

In Tang Yin's mind, Wu Mei should be like this now, free to do whatever she wants, not bound by anything, laugh when she wants to laugh, play when she wants to play, as if a layer of halo is covered all over her body, so dazzling that people can't take their eyes off her.

Suddenly, Tang Yin felt a strong sense of guilt, as if he had deprived Wu Mei of her happiness bit by bit. This feeling made him feel distressed and sad.
