Feng Liao originally waited for Feng Yi to see Han Qian before he came back to see Huang Hua. Unexpectedly, Huang Hua proposed to go to Dragon Tooth City first, which was quite unprepared.
Xuzhou had no overt rebellious intentions, so it could not prevent Huang Hua, who was his immediate superior, the Xuan Comfort Envoy, from freely coming and going in Xuzhou.
Feng Liao was not good at walking, and he had falsely claimed to have a leg injury before. He found a doctor overnight and put a plaster on him. Then he took a shoulder carriage early the next morning, together with the prefecture Sima Gao Shao and Feng Yi who came back overnight, along with ten retinues.
Accompanying the Xuan comfort envoys Huang Huaying, An Jixiang, Yang Shouyi and others rushed to Longya City.
Longya City is only about forty miles away from Chenzhong City, but it has to climb three mountain ridges. Fortunately, after two years of renovation, the ancient Longya Mountain Post Road has been doubled in width based on the five-foot old road in the early years, which is also very convenient.
In order to facilitate the passage of horse-drawn carriages, the newly built post road dug out the steps that had become slippery in the early years, and used coal ballast and coarse sand excavated from streams and rivers to pave the winding mountain slope. The distance is all the way longer than the old road.
.
The current two-wheeled carriages are not suitable for climbing up and downhill. Although Feng Liao and the others encountered many carriages passing by along the way, the goods they carried were quite limited, which was slightly better than using oxen, horses or human-powered camels.
.
Within Xuzhou, larger-scale material transportation mainly relies on water transportation.
Feng Liao knew that Han Qian had long asked the Engineering School to develop a new type of carriage that was more suitable for climbing slopes. However, most things in the world cannot be accomplished overnight, and many things are being done, but there has been no progress yet.
Of course, it cannot be said that progress is slow.
Even if we count it since Han Daoxun became an official in Xuzhou, how many years have passed? And it has only been two years since Han Qian took full control of Xuzhou's military and political affairs.
What Huang Hua and Zhou Qinian saw in Chenzhong City at this time was definitely not as beautiful as the Jiangnan water town or the splendor and wealth of big cities like Jinling and Yangzhou.
No matter how reasonable the planning and construction of Chenzhong County is, the newly paved streets are planted with small saplings that have not yet grown up. The whole city looks bare and there is not much greenery. It is far less green than the surrounding hills, even in winter.
In season, it is still green.
The whole city was paved with coal ballast, and there was not a single stone pavement. When Huang Hua entered Chenzhong City, accompanied by Xiying, the governor of Chenzhou, it didn't rain for several days. When the strong wind blew, the city was filled with swells.
The sky is filled with black and gray.
The faces and bodies of the residents in the city are also covered in gray, and their clothes are rough and drab in color.
The buildings in the city are also mainly in a rough style, with few decorations such as carved railings and painted buildings.
To be serious, Chenzhong at this time is far inferior to Chenyang City, which has hundreds of years of foundation.
However, Huang Hua and Zhou Qinian are not ordinary people with ordinary eyesight after all. They can see the strong and vigorous vitality of Xuzhou from this roughness and even roughness.
What's more, Chenzhong City has been under large-scale construction based on Jiming Village for less than a year.
At this time, the autumn harvest has just passed. The Longya Mountain Post Road is the main road connecting Linjiang County and Chenzhong County. You can see many newly built roads along the way, branching off from the main post road and connecting to the valleys on both sides.
In these valleys and mountains, there were originally only a few households struggling to survive, but now new villages have formed. On the mountain ridges in the distance, many people are leading cattle to cultivate new terraces.
Others may not be able to see anything, but Huang Hua and Zhou Qinian can judge from the distribution of villages along the road that the density of Xuzhou's population has long exceeded the 80,000 population counted at the end of the previous dynasty;
The size of wheat straw and the ears of grain left in the fields can also be used to judge the level of farming in Xuzhou, which is no worse than that near Jinling, the imperial capital.
In addition to Xiying, who knew the situation better, Huang Hua also called Gao Shao, Feng Liao, Feng Yi and others from time to time to ask about some things.
Only then did Zhou Qinian understand more clearly that Han Qian had set up a township inspection department in Xuzhou, which enabled the resettlement of the population in Xuzhou, the reclamation of new fields, the construction of water conservancy and roads, and the promotion of intercropping and intercropping farming techniques.
Able to move forward quickly and effectively.
Although since the Qin and Han dynasties, there has been a tradition of having rural officials assist prefectures and counties in managing bandits, taxation and other matters, usually only two or three people are employed, and they do not even pay salaries, but the inspections of townships in Xuzhou are much higher than
Traditional village officials are much more complete.
In addition to regular tasks such as arresting bandits and collecting taxes, there are also medical officials, academic officials, agricultural officials, engineers, etc. under the township inspection department, who are in charge of various affairs. It can be said to be a complete small prefecture and county government office.
.
The advantage of doing this is that many things can be implemented more thoroughly, but the biggest disadvantage is that the organization is bloated and money and food are lost.
Almost more than half of the land tax that Xuzhou could collect at this time was spent at the level of the township inspection department.
To increase the number of six or seven rural officials and miscellaneous workers, the salary may only need to be increased by more than a hundred yuan. However, the township must set up junior schools, rural medical clinics, agricultural and industrial training centers, road administration, post offices, agricultural reclamation, and autumn training. Because of the abolition
Because of the corvée, a large sum of money had to be paid for every job done.
At present, in addition to the huge expenditure on public service money at the township level, each township cannot afford to spend 700 to 800 yuan a year. The same reason is also true at the county level. The seven counties combined spend almost 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a year.
.
Just these two pieces of money have almost used up all the land taxes that can be collected by the seven counties, leaving no money left to pay.
The maintenance of military equipment and food and salary for state government branches and state camps mainly come from income from over-taxes, city parking taxes, industrial and mining taxes, and large-scale sales of warships, armor and weapons to foreign countries.
From this we can also see how dependent Xuzhou is on the outside world.
With Han Qian's instruction, Feng Liao did not conceal this from Huang Hua. On the one hand, Huang Hua and others could learn about these situations from Xi Ying and others, and more importantly, it showed that Xuzhou, which was attached to Dachu at this time, had actually passed.
It was quite difficult, and I had no right to have any dissent.
Once the channel of communication with the outside world is cut off, the overtax and city parking taxes will be greatly reduced; at the same time, because bulk goods cannot be dumped, industrial and mining taxes will also be sharply reduced, and the income from warships and ordnance will be direct.
For nothing.
"Many of the new policies were formulated when the boss was still alive. We advised you to make some cuts or to live within your means, but you are very insistent."
Feng Liao hinted that everything Xuzhou is doing now is because Han Qian wants to inherit his father Han Daoxun's last wish. In fact, Xuzhou is somewhat unsustainable internally. He said rather bitterly,
"After the situation in Jinling stabilized, tens of thousands of officials and slaves were recruited to build warships, armor and weapons, and they no longer relied on Xuzhou. It was previously thought that Sichuan salt could enter Xuzhou and Xuzhou materials could enter Sichuan via the Qianjiang River.
Shu can make up for some, but I didn’t expect that Sizhou would make two big mistakes again, and the plan in this regard came to nothing - now I don’t know how to make up for this shortfall next year..."
Huang Hua would not believe Feng Liao's words, but it was difficult for him to understand the more specific situation now, and he did not express any opinions along the way.
Zhou Qinian pondered Feng Liao's words all the way, but could not see any flaws.
Of course, Xiying and Sizhou Sima Yang Shouyi, who came here on behalf of the Yang family, did not look very good after leaving the city early in the morning.
Chai Jian refused to listen, and the state soldiers from the Tanlangyue prefectures could not be mobilized. Huang Hua ignored his status as a propaganda envoy and rushed to Longya City to see Han Qian. How could he ask Han Qian to give in too much?
Han Qian refused to give in, Huang Hua wanted to quell the civil unrest, and wanted the Shu army to withdraw from the Wuchuan Valley. Xiying and Yang Shouyi could figure out with their toes which family should sacrifice their interests in the end.
It's just the current situation, how can they be stubborn?
Although the Sizhou soldiers had dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the rebels in the past half month, killing and wounding nearly two thousand generals, their own casualties were lighter, but not by much.
War is never a simple arithmetic problem. It does not mean that 5,000 elite troops are reduced by 30% and there are still 3,500 men and horses available.
In fact, after the Sizhou soldiers suffered such heavy casualties, their morale was extremely low from top to bottom. The attack on the Panlongling villages was already somewhat unsustainable. The offensive in the past two days has been quite perfunctory.
It's over.
In other words, if they want to be stubborn and persist, they don't have many chips left in their hands.
…………
…………
Dragon Tooth City has not undergone any large-scale expansion.
Since the state government was moved to Chenzhong, Han Qian spent most of his time in Chenzhong on official duties, and the engineering school, state medical center, etc. were all moved to Chenzhong. Currently, Longya City is only a living area in addition to being used as a foundry.
The Township Inspection Department has settled in it, and now it can only be said to be a rather prosperous small town in the mountains.
Han Qian was still "ill" and only sent Xi Chang and Han Dong out of the city to meet Huang Hua and others.
After entering the room, Han Qian, who was already waiting in the hall, sat on the soft couch with a thin quilt covering his legs. His face was sallow, and he looked sick and cold. He looked really like
When he was "sick", it was not that he deliberately avoided seeing her, nor was he arrogant and did not even go out of the house to greet him.
"Your Majesty asked me to go to Hunan. He once said that everything is difficult to resolve and I need to consult the Marquis."
Since Huang Hua had come to Dragon Tooth City, he didn't care about mere etiquette. After exchanging greetings, he sat behind the chief's desk diagonally across from Han Qian. He slightly narrowed his eyes, stared at Han Qian's sallow face and asked,
"Considering the current situation in Sizhou, I wonder what the Marquis has to say?"
"Master Xi, General Yang are both very important figures in the southwestern part of our country. Due to the situation in Sizhou, it might be better for the Xuanwei Envoy to consult them."
Han Qian was very ill and looked very weak and said,
"I am still in Xiaozhong at this time. Although I am busy with state affairs and cannot sit in front of my father's tomb, I don't care much about affairs outside the state. Furthermore, Feng Liao should also have reported to the Xuanwei envoy that Xuzhou is here
The times were quite difficult, and I was unable to ask about matters outside the state..."
"Can the rebels be appeased?" Huang Hua ignored Han Qian's coyness and asked directly.
Hearing that Huang Hua directly stated his intention to appease the rebels without consulting them, Yang Shouyi and Xiying's eyes twitched, but in the end they did not stand up and say anything.
"Can you appease Mr. An and Mr. Fu have been in Sizhou these days. They know well that Han Qian is blinded by earplugs and really can't answer the questions of the Xuan comfort envoy - otherwise, in the eyes of some people, I, Han Qian,
Whatever Qian said and did, he always had ulterior motives!" Han Qian seemed to have made up his mind to stand aside and never answer Huang Hua's words.
"The Shu army is marching south. At this time, there are still troops and generals deployed. It doesn't seem like a bluff. If Sizhou loses, Xuzhou will also be threatened," Huang Hua continued. "It will be impossible for Xuzhou to stay out of trouble.
.”
Speaking of which, this was also the first time for Han Qian to see Huang Hua.
Huang Hua rose to prominence in the army in his early years and presided over local political affairs for a long time, so his reputation was not very prominent.
During the Jinling Incident, Huang Hua mainly united with local forces to defend Huzhou and wait and see the situation. However, after he really made a choice, he led the Huzhou troops to march north, recover Su Changrun, and attack Jinling City from the east. He was extremely decisive in using troops.
He can also take the lead.
As the commander-in-chief of the troops on the East Route, he suffered a knife wound and an arrow wound in Jinling City. For a long time after Emperor Yanyou came to the throne, he could only stay in the house to recuperate and did not take any serious responsibility. Until then,
He was ordered to go to Huzhou to serve as the propaganda envoy and take charge of military affairs.
Han Qian would never despise such a person.
What's more, if Huang Hua has the courage to step into Xuzhou now, it's hard to think highly of him.
Although recruiting the rebels seems to be the only option at present, there are many differences in how to recruit them.
Without seeing the conditions that were completely favorable to him, Han Qian would not accept Huang Hua's words easily. He just said: "The so-called water comes to cover the soil, and the soldiers come to block it. When Xuzhou can no longer stay out of the matter, then
It’s not too late to find a way.”
Seeing that Han Qian had made his attitude clear and seemed to be very happy to see the situation in Sizhou completely corrupted, Yang Shouyi was the first to lose his temper and said: "The Marquis and your Excellency consider themselves loyal to Chu, how can they bear to see the enemy troops trampling on the territory of Chu?
Kill the people of Chu and ignore them?"
"Whether my father and son in the Han family are loyal to Chu, only His Majesty has the final say. It seems that you, General Yang, have no room to say?" Han Qian glanced at Yang Shouyi, who was said to be able to lift a four hundred kilogram copper tripod, and said disdainfully.
Yang Shouyi's face turned purple with anger.
Yang Shouyi's body was indeed as strong as a mountain bear. Xi Chang and others were hesitant about whether to let Yang Shouyi enter the hall with a saber before.
However, there were Gao Shao, Kong Xirong and other Xuzhou military generals in the hall, and more than a hundred elite Xuzhou people in the front yard. Han Qian was really not afraid that Yang Shouyi would dare to make a sudden attack, and did not want to appear too petty.
However, Yang Shouyi did not remove his sword in front of Huang Hua, who was the ambassador of comfort, and it was difficult for Xuzhou to make more stringent requirements.
At this time, Han Qian coughed violently again, spit out a mouthful of phlegm, and apologized to Huang Hua with difficulty: "Since I returned to Xuzhou, my health has not been very good, and it is difficult for me to have the energy to think carefully.
State affairs - whether the Xuanwei envoy will stay in Longya City first, if there is really any mission, you can just give the order directly to Feng Liao and Gao Shao. Xuzhou is loyal to His Majesty, and the sun and the moon can teach us..."
Han Qian was "seriously ill" and it was difficult to handle state affairs, so naturally it was Governor Shi Fengliao and State Sima Gao Shao who acted on his behalf.
Han Qian met Han Qian briefly and wanted to hide behind the scenes on the pretext of being "seriously ill". Huang Hua couldn't do anything with him, so he temporarily moved his entourage into a cross-yard arranged in advance.
…………
…………
It is located across the courtyard in a corner of Longya City and is elegantly decorated. The guards inside and outside are also responsible for Huang Hua's retinue. The generals of Xuzhou are stationed near Han Qian's residence. Even the gates of Longya City are also guarded.
The hole is left open and unattended, allowing people to come and go as they please.
There is nothing to criticize in many aspects of etiquette.
Xiying prided himself on being an old fox with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, but found that Han Qian was covered in spikes and couldn't find a place for him to bite.
No matter how much suspicion they had in their hearts, at least from the facts before them, they could not find any trace of Xuzhou colluding with the rebellious bandits and the Shu army.
Besides, Sizhou had been on guard against Xuzhou in every possible way from the beginning, looking for good reasons to prevent Xuzhou from interfering with Sizhou. Han Qian was staying out of the matter at this time, standing by and watching. Even if he pretended to be angry, what could they say to him?
"Commander Commander, what should we do when this situation comes to this?" Fu Gengwen had no idea at all. He returned to the courtyard where he lived and took a breath. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the situation could not be delayed any longer, so he couldn't wait to pull him away.
Anji Xiang ran over and asked Huang Hua to come up with an idea first.
Now not only is the Sizhou army unable to attack the rebels, but the Shu army is still sending more troops to the Wuchuan Valley, and may go south again at any time to capture Shiqian County.
Once Shiqian County was lost, Sizhou's troops were in chaos, and eventually the rebel bandits colluded with the Shu army, and the problem would really become big.
Xiying and Yang Shouyi also walked into the small hall.
"Geng Wen, both you and Yang will go down the mountain and return to Sizhou immediately. The Sizhou governor Yang Xingfeng will mobilize a battalion of capable soldiers and horses from the west of Shihezi Village to go to Shiqian. We must strengthen the defense of Shiqian and not slack off.
"Afterwards, Geng Wen, you take my commander's token and go to Shihezi Village in person to find the bandit leader to discuss recruitment..." Huang Hua said.
Yang Shouyi looked livid and remained silent. Xiying asked hesitantly, "Do you really want to recruit the bandit army?"
Huang Hua glanced at Yang Shouyi, then moved his eyes to Xiying's face and asked, "Besides, what good ideas does Master Xi have?"
"Is it okay to lure the bandit leader out of the mountain, arrest him and kill him in the name of appeasement?" Xi Ying asked pitifully.
Zhou Qinian sighed and said: "No matter whether the Marquis of Guizhou Yang has colluded with the bandits or not, the governor will not let this plan succeed."
"If Xuzhou really wants to talk to each other, the leader of the thieves will certainly not come out..." Xiying said.
Seeing that Xiying was still more concerned about seizing Xuzhou, Zhou Qinian just smiled and would not answer his words again.
"Tan Yuliang was once a Tanzhou spy general. He doesn't need Xuzhou and Tongshengqi, and he won't easily join him," Huang Hua patiently said to Xiying, "Or maybe Chenzhou is willing to transfer two thousand more elites to Sizhou?
As long as Master Xi is willing to lead another two thousand elites from Chenzhou to reinforce Sizhou, I can stay in Chenyang and wait for Master Xi to return after his success!"
Since Xuzhou was forbearing in every possible way, hiding its head and keeping its tail, and Huang Hua was comforting the envoy to personally sit in Chenyang, Xiying was certainly not afraid that Han Qian would suddenly send troops to Chenzhou during this period.
However, the problem is that after the three thousand Chenzhou soldiers entered Sizhou, they not only had to suppress the bandits, but also had to repel the Shu army before they had the opportunity to withdraw and rest.
The Chenzhou and Xi clan's children have suffered huge losses during their campaigns in the north and south over the past few years. How many casualties can they withstand this time?
Thinking of this, Xiying found that he had no confidence to insist on anything.
Seeing Xiying shut up, Huang Hua said to Yang Shouyi in an unquestionable tone: "General Yang, you and Geng Wen will go to Sizhou at this time. If Governor Yang has any objections, please send a letter to me within three days - I
I will stay in Longya City for the next few days."
Yang Shouyi was reluctant in every way, but he could only go back to see the head of the family, Yang Xingfeng, to make up his mind. Without saying a word, he took the guards and Fu Gengwen and hurried down the mountain overnight.
Seeing that the situation here made it difficult for him to do anything, Xiying didn't want to linger in the tiger's mouth of Xuzhou anymore, so he found an excuse to resign from Huang Hua and rushed back to Chenyang overnight.
Huang Hua did not try to persuade Xiying to stay. After Xiying left, he talked to Anji Xiang for a while, and then arranged for his followers to find Han Chengmeng, who had been avoiding suspicion.
Huang Hua didn't seem to care about Anxiang's presence, and said to Han Chengmeng in a serious voice: "When I left Jinling, His Majesty summoned me in Chongwen Hall, and mentioned Han Laohou many times, Jingzhao Yin and the Han family, all of whom were great.
Chu Zhongliang and Marquis Qianyang are also good teachers and friends of His Majesty. Si, Ye, Chen, and Xuyuan are all barbarian lands. Their surnames are stubborn and unyielding. Seeing that Chu is strong, they have to give in, but they also try their best to provoke them.
Yes, your Majesty knows it clearly in his heart, so he also asks Marquis Qianyang to ignore these words of provocation and continue to take on the role of a pillar of Chu..."
Seeing that Huang Hua wanted him to send a message to Han Qian, Han Chengmeng did not express any unnecessary opinions and just nodded in agreement.
At this time, he was an official in front of Huang Hua's tent. He should listen to Huang Hua's orders. When Feng Liao sent someone over to inquire about the night banquet, he took this opportunity to run over and see Feng Liao first.
…………
…………
Of course Feng Liao was with Han Qian at this time. He had just heard reports that Yang Shouyi, Fu Gengwen and Xiying had left Longya City with their retinues, and Han Chengmeng came in with the news.
At this time, Han Qian washed off the wax on his face and was playing with his son in the yard while talking to Feng Liao, Gao Shao and the others.
Han Chengmeng stood there quite awkwardly, not knowing how to express Huang Hua's meaning. We couldn't say that we should stop pretending to each other, or just sit down and negotiate terms, right?
Of course, no matter what Huang Hua's intentions are for compromising here, as long as he serves as the consolation envoy sent by Emperor Yanyou, he has to wear a mask on his face and can only test Han Qian and Xuzhou's bottom line in a roundabout way.
There.
Maybe the same is true for Han Qian?
"Fourth brother, sit down and talk." Zhao Ting'er now brought a chair and asked Han Chengmeng to sit down.
The Han family inherited their lineage from the old man. Han Chengmeng ranked fourth and Han Qian ranked seventh. It’s just that they were not commensurate with each other. At this time, hearing Zhao Ting’er calling each other like this, Han Chengmeng was stunned.
Somewhat dazed.
"What message does Huang Hua want you to preach?" Han Qian asked Han Chengmeng.
Han Chengmeng told Huang Hua truthfully.
"Huang Hua can bend and stretch, he is really a character," Feng Liao did not shy away from Han Chengmeng's presence, frowning and said to Han Qian, "Don't look at him forbearing at this time, but when it comes to the specific conditions for recruitment, I'm afraid he won't
Giving in easily - in the final analysis, he still wants us to show his trump card first..."
Han Qian pondered for a while and then said to Han Chengmeng: "If Huang Hua wants to ask you anything, just say that Xuzhou is loyal to Dachu, and whether it suppresses or appeases the bandits, only Xuan Weili makes the leader of the bandit follow his lead - by the way, the bandit leader
Tan Yuliang's family members were also detained by me in Longya City. If the Xuanwei Envoy wants to appease the bandits, I will arrange for the bandit leader's family to be escorted to the Xuanwei Envoy, which may be used as a bargaining chip..."
Han Chengmeng couldn't help but smile bitterly, wondering when the riddle would end. Will Han Qian really hand over Tan Yuliang's family?
Han Chengmeng could not guess Han Qian's intention, but he was only responsible for passing on the message. Without asking any questions, he returned to the cross-yard and passed Han Qian's message to Huang Hua.
Hearing that Han Qian was going to hand over the bandit leader's family, Anji Xiang, who was sitting aside, was quite excited.
Huang Hua just glanced at An Jixiang and said, "Mr. An has worked hard and achieved great results. This credit should belong to Mr. An - Mr. An, you can lead the men to find the Marquis of Qianyang and take over the family of the bandit leader Tan Yuliang."
Anji Xiang was eager to give it a try and was about to agree to come down and lead people to find Han Qian, but when he saw Zhou Qinian sitting aside with a faint smile, he suddenly woke up. After all, Huang Hua still couldn't figure out what Han Qian meant, and wanted to use him to scare off the enemy!
If the bandit leader was just a small chess piece used by Han Qian to test Huang Hua's sincerity in compromise, and he rashly approached, telling Han Qian to decide that Huang Hua was not sincere in compromising, and kill him to vent his anger, wouldn't he be too dead?
injustice?
Anji Xiang came to his senses, sat back and said: "I serve your Majesty, both in front and behind the horse, that's what I should do - Your Majesty trusting me and using me is the greatest reward for me. Apart from these, other achievements are of no use to me."
Seeing that An Xiang was not fooled, Huang Hua also smiled nonchalantly and said: "Mr. An is so upright and upright, Mr. Huang really admires him - the Marquis of Guizhou Yang is stationed on the border for Da Chu. If he can succeed this time, he will always have to share some points."
Only by giving the Marquis of Qianyang the credit can he be worthy of the Marquis of Qianyang's loyalty. Let's see, if the bandit leader really intends to accept the recruitment, he will definitely offer to return the family. When the time comes, I will ask the Marquis of Qianyang to send someone to escort the bandit leader's family to Panlong.
Ling, what do you think, Mr. An?"
Han Chengmeng finally understood it at this time.
If Han Qian directly proposed that he send people to escort Tan Yuliang's family to Panlongling for peace talks, Xuzhou would still be unable to clear away the suspicion of colluding with the bandits.
Han Qian now proposes to hand over Tan Yuliang's family to Huang Hua, but Huang Hua really wants to take over Tan Yuliang's family, which shows that he has no sincerity in compromising when he enters Longya Mountain this time.
When the time comes, Huang Hua will have to worry that Han Qian will continue to create troubles, making it difficult to recruit him.
Now that Huang Hua has taken the initiative to propose that Xuzhou send people to take custody of the bandit leader's family and go to Panlongling, Xuzhou's intervention in the recruitment matter at this time is completely justified, saying that Potian is also acting "under orders".
This is actually Huang Hua's greatest compromise and sincerity towards Xuzhou.
Of course, Anji Xiang was in Xuzhou at this time, representing Emperor Yanyou after all, and he could speak in front of Emperor Yanyou at any time after returning to Jinling, so Huanghua needed Anji Xiang's approval for this matter.
Otherwise, if Huang transformed into a feudal official and was jealous of Emperor Yanyou because of this matter, it would be more gain than loss...
Han Chengmeng couldn't help but look at An Xiang, wondering if he would cooperate with Huang Hua and endorse this matter?
