Zhao Hengyi opened the letter, and as he expected, he did find some interesting things inside.

"I heard that you are the most powerful female assassin in the capital, and you are also feared by many people, Black Peony."

"There is a matter that needs your help today, the reward is one thousand taels of silver, as long as you successfully kill a man in the Lu State Mansion, I will give you the reward immediately!"

"Here's a portrait of this man, take a closer look. Don't be mistaken, and some specific circumstances of this man's residence in the Lu Guogong Mansion, I have already found out this. ”

On this, Zhao Hengyi's own name has not been mentioned, only his own portrait, and his specific location.

This is a bit strange, how does the person who wants to kill himself know which specific location of Lu Guogong he lives, could it be that there is a traitor in Lu Guogong's mansion?

Zhao Hengyi understood, it seems that his father-in-law's house is not particularly safe, but there is no hurry about this matter, and I will talk about it tomorrow.

He definitely needs to find out the traitors in this Lu Guogong Mansion, otherwise he will threaten his life at any time, which will outweigh the losses.

……

Following.

Zhao Hengyi and Lu Guogong were ready to go to the court together.

Fengtian Temple.

As the young officials sat on the dragon chairs, the ministers also knelt down.

Zhao Hengyi was waiting outside, because without the emperor's summons, he couldn't come in easily, after all, he was a military general with huge military power.

In addition, there was no formal meeting after he came back, so the emperor could not be as easy-going as these civil and military ministers, and he could come in directly and bow down directly.

"Then let the Marquis of Qiongzhou come in quickly, I still have a lot of things to ask him."

"Xuanqiongzhou Marquis will meet you!"

The sound spread mightily in this hall.

After Zhao Hengyi heard Zhao Li, he naturally walked in without hesitation, and then he knelt on the ground in an official uniform.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Get up, Marquis of Qiongzhou, I still have a lot of things to ask you, just pacified Xuanchuan, what kind of thoughts do you have in your heart?"

Zhao Hengyi shook his head, "This is the duty of a courtier. ”

As soon as the words fell, Yan Wei, the first minister, stood up and shouted angrily: "It's not right! ”

"I thought that the emperor asked you to immediately send troops to rescue the southwest border, but as a result, you deliberately pretended to be sick."

"Is this the duty of a courtier?"

Zhao Hengyi understood it, this is to settle accounts after the autumn, just look at these people in the court, if you don't tell yourself today, it is absolutely impossible to let yourself go.

It is very likely that he will convict himself of a trumped-up crime.

"Your Majesty, the minister was indeed infected with the wind and cold during that time, after all, the minister has been living in the north, so he is very uncomfortable after arriving in the south.

In addition, I had just returned from victory during that time in Layue, and Annan had just finished dealing with the plague. ”

"It's possible that the minister was infected with the plague, so there was a little bit of cold. Fortunately, the minister's body is still relatively hard, and it will get better soon with medication, otherwise the minister will probably not see the emperor! ”

After hearing this, the young official nodded very approvingly.

This is not too much of a problem, in the eyes of the officials.

"Marquis of Qiongzhou, I heard that your mercenaries are self-respecting, so the people over there in Annan forcibly call you King of Annan! Isn't it! ”

Yan Wei asked again, but it caused a lot of uproar in the court, after all, this matter is not trivial.

Without the consent of the emperor, he made himself king without authorization, isn't this self-respecting mercenaries? Isn't this flouting imperial power?

This is really very vicious.

Zhao Hengyi didn't expect that the news from Annan's side had also spread to Dayan's court.

Now, it's really a little unclear.

After sorting out the specific context, Zhao Hengyi said slowly.

"What Lord Yan said is true, there is indeed Annan, and many people call me King Annan. But those are the words of the people, because the people feel that I have given them food to eat, and I have made their lives stable, so they have spread the word like this, and I did not take the initiative. ”

"If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can go and personally send someone to check it, and at the same time, I keep admonishing the people not to call me like this anymore, it's really bad!"

"But the people didn't listen to what I said......

The more Zhao Hengyi spoke, the more aggrieved he became, and the official sat in a wheelchair, looking at the situation above the court, and said lightly.

"Okay, I still want to believe what the Marquis of Qiongzhou said, after all, you have made a lot of sacrifices and done a lot of things for my Dayan, and you have also made great efforts for the stability of my Dayan."

"It's just a fake King of Annan, even if it's the real King of Annan, I will give it to you!"

"Last time you won the battle, I was supposed to give you the title of king, but I encountered some other things, and this was delayed.

Now, as a general, you have once again taken the river, and the court will not be so stingy, and I will not be so stingy! ”

As he spoke, the official sat on it, waved his big hand, and shouted: "I canonize you as the king of Annam today, control the three places of Qiongzhou, Annan, and Qiongzhou, and 100,000 soldiers are stationed here. ”

As soon as the official finished saying this, a great eunuch came over with the holy decree and the prince's treasure book.

"Hurry up and take the seal, this is given to you by the emperor, I must have said that there are so many officials in the court, and only you can afford this great gift."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Zhao Hengyi was very surprised, he didn't expect the emperor to give him the title of King of Annam this time, this was originally fake, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating, and now it has become true.

Lu Guogong looked at his son-in-law from the side, and now that he has received the title of Wang Ye, he is still very happy in his heart.

King of Annam! If this had been placed in the past, it would definitely be a prince who dominated one side, such a powerful title, who wouldn't want it?

But the sweetness was given, but the emperor couldn't let Zhao Hengyi go on so easily.

"King Annan, you will stay in the capital for ten days and half a month, and I still have a lot of things I want to discuss with you."

"However, King Annan, I have heard that I am called Emperor Yuan. You have so many soldiers and horses in the southwest, I'm very worried all day! ”

Sure enough, the time to come still came, and he knew that the emperor was very afraid of these armies under his command.

Fear of rebellion!

In an era of backward information in ancient times, a general with 100,000 soldiers and horses was indeed quite frightening.

Zhao Hengyi can understand.
