Credentials of Southern Xinjiang

"Some things are not for me to choose for you, but for you to choose."

She never thought about influencing anyone's choice.

King Jin did say that at the beginning, and her subsequent agreement to grant the marriage was not acquiescing to what King Jin said about giving up everything.

The choice is in the hands of King Jin from beginning to end.

Now that she handed the edict to her, she understood that King Jin was once again expressing his determination, but she would not follow through.

Prince Jin looked at her silently, and after a while, he smiled.

"you're right."

"Your villa is very nice, and I like it very much."

Lu Yaoyao smiled and nodded: "Of course, I spent a lot of effort to build this."

"Then I have to help you, otherwise I won't be able to live here anymore."

The two of them were talking and laughing, and neither of them mentioned the imperial edict again. Lu Yaoyao heard these words of King Jin and could understand what he meant.

The master and servant of King Jin stayed at the villa until the afternoon before leaving.

On the way back to the city, Yan Yi asked, "My lord, are you really not planning to take that seat?"

"I thought about it before, but I heard something earlier and felt that the seat was not as good as I imagined."

"How do you feel in the villa today?"

King Jin did not answer directly, but turned around and asked Yan Yi.

"It's quite relaxing. My subordinates seem to understand why the princess wants to stay here instead of living in the big house in the capital."

"Life is not easy, so why can't we make it easier for ourselves?"

In the past few years, he had always had a heavy weight on his heart. To be honest, he was very tired.

When Emperor Hongwen said earlier that he was very tired, he was actually touched in his heart.

It was all for that seat. At that time, he really felt that the seat that countless people wanted was not necessarily good.

Later, his experience at Chengyuan Villa made him feel that his life could be easy.

"You're right, but some things still have to come back to you."

Hearing this, King Jin did not speak. During this period, Yan Yi followed him and knew everything about the past.

The world has always belonged to the Xiao family, and King Jin is now the only bloodline of the late emperor left in the world. If he does not follow, will the world be allowed to change hands?

"It's still a long time, so who can say clearly what the future will bring?"

In Chengyuan Villa, Lu Yaoyao was also thinking about what King Jin's master and servant said at this time.

"After going round and round, there is still no way to avoid it."

She smiled helplessly.

She knew the secrets of King Jin and Emperor Hongwen. Emperor Hongwen had now shown his sincerity in returning the favor. As the only bloodline of the late emperor, King Jin knew that there were some things that he could not accept without wanting to do so.

"Miss, what did you say?"

Qiu Yu asked in surprise.

"It's okay. Nothing happened on the mountain today, right?"

"That must be no problem."

Lu Yaoyao nodded and asked Qiu Yu to prepare hot water. He didn't think too much about Prince Jin. What's the use of thinking about some things now?

Who knows how it will develop in the future?

Duke Zhenguo is not so easy to deal with. Emperor Hongwen also wants to return the country, so can he do it?

Will Prince Ning and the other princes be happy?

For the next period of time, Lu Yaoyao was busy with matters at the villa.

The Lu family has also moved out of the capital and went to help manage her fiefdom.

During this period of time, there was not much movement in the capital.

More than a month passed in the blink of an eye. A letter of credence from southern Xinjiang broke the tranquility of Dongzhou Capital.

This is a letter of questioning.

It is said that a few months ago, the envoy from Southern Xinjiang entered Dongzhou, but there has been no news since then. After the investigation from Southern Xinjiang, it is very likely that their envoy died in Dongzhou.

The leader of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom came over to repair the book and asked Emperor Hongwen for an explanation.

He even stated in the letter of state that if Dongzhou did not give a satisfactory explanation, Southern Xinjiang would send a large army to force an explanation.

The full threats caused many people in the Dongzhou court to change their expressions.

Southern Xinjiang is not easy to mess with, even worse than Xirong and Beichu.

Over the years, while the three countries have been fighting openly and covertly, Southern Xinjiang has been developing steadily.

It's not like Xirong has never provoked Southern Xinjiang before, but in the end they were defeated by Southern Xinjiang and retreated steadily. From then on, they never dared to provoke Southern Xinjiang again.

Dongzhou, on the other hand, has been developing steadily over the years. Their main enemies are also Beichu and Xirong. Naturally, they will not provoke Southern Xinjiang. They have even always had a friendly attitude towards Southern Xinjiang.

Now that such a letter of credence suddenly arrived, it really made them a little worried.

"what is going on?"

He also knew about the envoys entering Southern Xinjiang a few months ago, but he had been busy in the past few months, and there had been no news from Southern Xinjiang.

Things were forgotten.

But he never expected that the envoy from Southern Xinjiang would be killed.

Moreover, there is also a prince here who is the lord of Southern Xinjiang. This is a big deal.

The officials below also looked at each other, do they know what is going on?

Most of them didn't know that there were envoys coming from Southern Xinjiang. If it hadn't been for today's letter of credence, they wouldn't have known that such a big event was happening.

"Your Majesty, we need to investigate this matter carefully. I think you can write a letter and go to southern Xinjiang to appease you."

"The relationship between our two countries has always been very friendly over the years. We must not turn against each other because of this incident."

Wen Songtao was still wondering why the envoy from southern Xinjiang had not come to the capital yet after he had been in the customs for several months.

I just found out today that the envoy from Southern Xinjiang is gone.

"I will personally edit a letter, and you will be personally responsible for the investigation related to the document. You must find out what is going on."

Wen Songtao bowed and accepted the order.

After the court dispersed in the morning, Emperor Hongwen summoned King Jin to the imperial study.

"Do you think the incident in Southern Xinjiang was done by the Zhenguo Government?"

It’s not that Emperor Hongwen had random suspicions.

After all, if southern Xinjiang sends troops to attack them, the Duke of Zhen will need to go to the front line to fight. After what happened last time, although Duke Zhen did not make a fuss during this period, he was also very quiet, which made Emperor Hongwen more wary of him.

A lot.

Now that he suddenly heard the news, he immediately thought that it might be the plan of the Duke of Zhen.

"no."

King Jin directly gave an affirmative answer.

"Why?"

Emperor Hongwen asked with a frown.

"Because the person who killed the envoy from southern Xinjiang was my king."

"you"

Emperor Hongwen stood up in shock, and then asked with an ugly face, "Why did you do this? Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

"Of course I do. Your Majesty should know the reason for coming to Nanjiang, right?"

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen fell silent.

Of course he knew that the Han family stirred up trouble and asked the Three Kingdoms to send envoys to seek peace and marriage. Naturally, he also knew the purpose of arranging people to come here from southern Xinjiang.

"Even so, you shouldn't be so extreme. Just refuse when the time comes. There is no need to antagonize Southern Xinjiang."
