Chapter 164 Asking for a Promise
The army hurried on and arrived at the Yong Dynasty's imperial city in September.
Feng Yaoguang and Gu Chiran arranged the army and went to the palace to meet the emperor.
Yan Donghuang was discussing matters with Prime Minister Pei in Chongming Hall. When he heard the palace servant's report, he hurriedly said, "Please come in quickly."
"Yes."
Prime Minister Pei turned his head to look.
Feng Yaoguang and Gu Chiran stepped into the palace gate, came to the table together, and knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty Feng Yaoguang, I pay my respects to my emperor!"
"Your Majesty Gu Chiran, I pay my respects to my emperor!"
Yan Donghuang raised his lips slightly: "The Emperor of Nanling does not need to perform such a great ceremony, General Gu, please stand up too."
As soon as the three words "Emperor of Nanling" came out, Feng Yaoguang's expression paused slightly, and then presented the jade seal in his hand: "I am General Yaoguang for one day, and I will be General Yaoguang for the rest of my life. This is the jade seal of Nanling, I will present it to Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty will accept it with a smile."
Prime Minister Pei looked at him in surprise. It was beyond their expectations that His Majesty announced that Nanling would become a vassal state in the court. Unexpectedly, Feng Yaoguang brought the jade seal back directly.
Does this mean that Nanling will belong to the Yong Dynasty?
Yan Donghuang looked at Feng Yaoguang for a moment, and said calmly: "Meng Zhou."
Meng Zhou respectfully accepted the order, stepped forward and carefully took the jade seal, and placed it in front of Yan Donghuang
Feng Yaoguang and Gu Chiran reported the border and Nanling affairs in detail, making sure that everything was under control. In addition, Nanling and Yongguo would hold the special examinations at the same time in September. If His Majesty is willing, Feng Yaoguang would like to let Nanling students come to Yong to take the exam next spring, so that they can have a sense of belonging in advance.
Prime Minister Pei was shocked by this.
Feng Yaoguang was no longer a question of proving his innocence, but was going to offer Nanling with both hands and voluntarily become a vassal?
And the skills of him and Gu Chiran were also impressive.
In the past, I only knew that the seven generals of the Qingluan Army were powerful. I didn't expect that after fighting separately, the two of them not only did not compete for credit, but cooperated so well. In just a few months, they solved a headache, and even weakened the strength of King Wuyang.
It's hard not to admire him.
"You have worked hard all the way, go back and have a good rest first." Yan Donghuang smiled, "Everyone will have three days off. In addition, General Gu has made great contributions to weakening King Wuyang's army. I will think about how to reward him."
"Yes."
Gu Chiran bowed and left.
Seeing that Feng Yaoguang was unwilling to leave, Prime Minister Pei knew what was going on and took the initiative to ask to leave so as not to disturb the two people's conversation.
Yan Donghuang dismissed the palace servants and looked at Feng Yaoguang standing in front of him in military uniform, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Is this jade seal your dowry?"
Feng Yaoguang nodded: "Yes."
"Using a country as a dowry, General Feng is very generous." Yan Donghuang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a relaxed tone, "Is this your deep affection or loyalty?"
Feng Yaoguang walked up to her, and because he was standing, his eyes naturally fell on her face, which felt a bit condescending.
"Your Majesty." He narrowed his eyes and spoke calmly, "If I use this jade seal as a condition to ask Your Majesty for a promise, what will Your Majesty do?"
Yan Donghuang leaned back in his chair leisurely, his tone calm, not telling whether he was happy or angry: "What promise do you want to ask for?"
"Nanling surrenders to the Yong Dynasty, all laws and rules must comply with the laws and rules of the Yong Dynasty, and I, the temporary monarch, will obey Your Majesty in everything." Feng Yaoguang knelt on one knee, took her hand and placed it on his heart, "I only ask Your Majesty to give up the three palaces and six courtyards, and be my husband and wife for life, trust each other, and never betray me, are you willing?"
