Zhu Feng slowly walked to Cui Yuanmei and looked down at him.

This person was the chief of the Yan Palace when he was still the King of Yan. After he ascended the throne, he followed him to inspect Yongzhou. After dealing with King Jing, he left him in Yongzhou to work. After a few years, he was promoted to magistrate and worked for more than ten years.

Now, Choi Won-mi's hair is gray, and when she kneels on the ground, her thin shoulder blades are also rising high.

Exudes a heavy old look.

As soon as he saw him, Zhu Feng's expression suddenly became a little solemn.

To this day, most of the people around him who came out of the Yan Prince's Mansion have withered. Even the only people who followed him to visit Yongzhou back then were still Nan Yan, and suddenly seeing this person made him feel a little moved. Zhu Feng sighed lightly, bent down to help Cui Yuanmei up in person, and said, "Why are you so old?"

The officials around were shocked.

No one expected that His Majesty the Emperor would be so condescending to his noble character, and Cui Yuanmei obviously did not expect that she would get such courtesy from the Emperor. Her eyes suddenly turned red, her gray beard kept trembling, and she said softly: "Emperor, Wei, Wei-"

Seeing his trembling look, Zhu Feng sighed softly.

He said, "Let's go."

So he led Cui Yuanmei and the other two into the prefecture.

The officials around were very surprised, but Nan Yan could understand Zhu Feng's feelings for those who followed him when he was still in the residence, especially after Ye Zheng and Ran Xiaoyu left the Central Plains, he even showed an almost attachment to some of the old people around him.

No one dared to speak easily, and just followed him.

Tables and chairs had already been arranged in the lobby. After Zhu Feng walked over and sat down, Cui Yuanmei led officials at all levels to bow to the emperor again. Zhu Feng just waved his hands lightly, and then everyone got up and retreated.

When everyone left, Zhu Feng turned to Cui Yuanmei and said, "I have said before, don't do these false gifts."

Cui Yuanmei said: "The emperor forgives his crimes. The emperor naturally cares about the empress, etc. However, this is the first time the emperor visited Yongzhou in more than ten years. Officials at all levels want to see the beauty of heaven, so the empress dares to ask them all to come and kowtow to the empress. If the empress is disturbed by the emperor's tranquility, the empress should be punished."

Zhu Feng shook his head and did not blame him.

Since he ascended the throne, except for the tour of King Jing to Yongzhou, he has traveled around the country for more than ten years, but has never been to Yongzhou again. He handed over all the things here to Cui Yuanmei. After finally coming here this time, it seems a bit unreasonable if officials at all levels do not gradually become.

Cui Yuanmei then turned around and said to Nan Yan: "I pay homage to the concubine."

Nan Yan hurriedly asked someone to support him, and then said with a smile: "This time I have come here to cause trouble for Lord Cui."

Cui Yuanmei immediately smiled and said, "How can I bear this word from the Empress? I am afraid that this time the Empress revisits the old place and will not be distracted by some things."

When I mentioned this, the atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy.

Zhu Feng said: "I have heard Li Bushang say it before, but you can tell me what's going on."

Cui Yuanmei immediately said: "The incident happened at the beginning of last month. It was on the border line and was very close to our camp. Chen Biri was penetrated by an arrow and then stayed in Doubei Town there for treatment."

Zhu Feng said: "Chen Biri is the prime minister of Yue Kingdom, how could he come to the border?"

Choi Won-mi said: "He comes every year."

"each year?"

"Yes, since our Yan State and Yue State agreed to trade with each other, the matter of exchanging raw silk for food has been going on for more than ten years. But for more than ten years, Chen Biri would write a letter to the king of Yue State every once in a while, requesting the cancellation of trade between the two countries."

Zhu Feng said: "I know this."

Cui Yuanmei said: "However, the king of Yue has heard more from the general Xiahou in this matter, so the two sides have been quarrels. Moreover, because of the interests of mutual trade, more than 80% of the people of Yue have become mulberry farmers. In the end, the king of Yue promised to draw out a thousand acres of land on the border and handed it over to Chen Biri, so that he and some people still plant food on this land."

Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "How much does the grain produced in these fields account for Vietnam?"

Choi Won-mi said: "A few years ago, it could still account for more than 20%.

"What about now?"

"Now - we are transporting more and more grains here, and the prices there are also getting lower and lower. Now even the farmers recruited by Chen Biri are running away, dispersing, and the rest are less than 10%. This year, it's strange that it's already spring, and it's still snowing, and countless seedlings have frozen to death. Plus-"

Speaking of this, he paused.

Nan Yan subconsciously glanced at him, but saw Cui Yuanmei's eyes flashing. She did not say this half of the sentence, but seemed to swallow it.

Zhu Feng did not blame him for being hesitant.

However, Princess Xinping, who was standing next to Nanyan, looked increasingly ugly.

Choi Won-mi continued: "So, those farmers are having a big fuss. This time Chen Biri came here to inspect the matter."

Zhu Feng listened, remained silent for a while, and then asked, "There is no news about the murderer yet?"

Choi Won-mi said: "No news."

Zhu Feng said: "Not a word of wind at all?"

Cui Yuanmei thought for a while before whispering: "Chen Biri has controlled the government over the years and has made many enemies. But if the political views with him are the ones who have the most disagreement with him, the only general Xiahou Jiu. These two people had a fight the past year before. Chen Biri has always been in a grudge and wants to interrupt the mutual trade with our Yan Kingdom. In this way, it can weaken Xiahou Jiu's prestige in the court and let the king of Yue get rid of his dependence on him. It is said that before leaving Daluo City this time, Chen Biri has been struggling with several ministers to write a letter to request the king of Yue to dismiss Xiahou Jiu's position as the general."

Zhu Feng said: "If this is the case, then Xiahoujiu will attack him."

Choi Won-mi was silent for a moment and said, "It looks like that."

Zhu Feng raised his eyelids and glanced at him.

Cui Yuan's face, full of wrinkles, had no expression on his face, and his heavy eyelids covered his turbid eyeballs, and he couldn't see clearly what his emotions were in his eyes for a while.

Zhu Feng was silent for a while and asked again: "Then, what are the trends in Yue after Chen Biri was assassinated?"

Cui Yuanmei said: "The news the day before yesterday, the king of Yue has set out to tour the border. It seems that he is coming to Doubei Town."

"The king of Yue..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly: "He is going to come to the border in person?"

Choi Won-mi said: "Yes."
