Chapter 713: What Does the Heroine's Escape Have to Do with Me?
This year in Fengyu, everyone, from His Majesty to the common people, is very happy.
His Majesty Feng Lingyu has looked refreshed and radiant since he experienced that shocking auspicious sign from heaven that day.
He was full of confidence and pride, and firmly believed that he was the wise ruler who could lead the country to prosperity.
So he immediately ordered the historians to record this grand and auspicious scene in detail so that future generations would remember this glorious history.
However, as time went on, everyone gradually discovered that some things were not as good as they had initially imagined.
It turns out that those albino species that are regarded as symbols of good fortune from heaven are actually just ordinary animals.
When Feng Lingyu personally came to the zoo to inspect, he saw the rare wild animals such as white peacocks, white lions, white tigers and white wolves that were presented from various places. He couldn't help but curl his lips, his face full of disappointment.
"Hmph! You're trying to fool me with these things? How can this be considered a true auspicious sign from heaven? Look at the heavens, sending down sweet rain and dew, benefiting all the people of the world and healing them. And what about us? Only these sick beasts with nothing but empty promises!"
After saying that, Feng Lingyu angrily swung his sleeves, and without looking back, he hurried back to the imperial study with Lu Daban beside him.
After returning to the imperial study, Feng Lingyu did not become depressed by this incident. Instead, he immediately immersed himself in the busy handling of government affairs.
He buried himself in the mountains of memorials, carefully reading each one and considering the corresponding countermeasures.
At this moment, he suddenly stopped what he was doing and his eyes fell on the two volumes of imperial edicts that had not yet been issued on the table beside him.
After a little thought, he winked at Lu Daban beside him, indicating that he should bring over the two volumes of imperial edicts.
Lu Daban understood what he meant, and hurried forward, carefully picked up the imperial edict, and handed it to Feng Lingyu.
Feng Lingyu gently took the imperial edict, slowly unfolded it, and a relieved smile gradually appeared on his face.
He turned to look at Lu Daban and chuckled softly, "These two decrees were specially prepared for that little girl. Counting the days, she's almost getting married. In the blink of an eye, five years have already passed..."
Feng Lingyu handed the two carefully rolled-up imperial edicts to Lu Daban again with a smile on his face, and solemnly instructed:
"When she gets married, these two imperial edicts must be delivered immediately. They have been pending for five years.
This rare drought has just verified the vital importance of high-yield grain.
Now, I want to see who dares to object to the imperial decree that conferred her the title of Princess!"
Feng Lingyu was in a particularly good mood at this moment. He continued to instruct enthusiastically: "
Before that, the princess's mansion given to her must be completed first.
When the imperial decree is issued in the future, she can move in directly and enjoy the respect and honor that a princess deserves!"
Lu Daban did not dare to delay and hurriedly and carefully took the two heavy imperial edicts, and then quickly placed them back on the chopping board on the side.
He thought to himself that the reason these two imperial edicts had been shelved for a long time and not issued was simply because the old guys from the aristocratic families in the court were always stubborn and opposed to His Majesty.
Thinking of this, Lu Daban couldn't help but shake his head. Even during the recent drought, some ignorant people still dared to speak out.
They claimed that Your Majesty was not merciful and magnanimous enough, and was not a wise monarch favored by God, so such a severe drought was sent down as punishment.
However, what is the situation now? Miraculously, nectar has fallen from the sky, allowing the people of the entire Fengyu Kingdom to benefit greatly from it.
Not only that, the country's rivers, lakes, seas, mountains and valleys have also been refreshed by this sweet rain, as if they have experienced rebirth and transformation again and again.
Looking around, the earth presents a beautiful scene of vitality and prosperity everywhere.
"Didn't Your Majesty also compensate the three marquises of the Tong family?"
Seeing the emperor's displeasure, Lu Daban quickly offered words of comfort, "I think this reward is generous enough to compensate the Tong family for their losses this time."
However, Emperor Feng Lingyu shook his head and sighed, "How can it be the same? This is the result of the little girl's discovery alone, and she has worked tirelessly to cultivate it and promote it vigorously! Such an important matter cannot be compared with three mere marquises?" His words were full of guilt.
"Alas, I am really sorry for her!" Feng Huang couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, Lü Daban suddenly remembered a memorial that had just arrived in the capital from the border. He quickly presented it to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this memorial just sent from the border may help you feel better."
Feng Lingyu took the memorial and took a closer look. It turned out to be a battle report from the front line sent by General Wang.
He couldn't wait to open it, and after a quick glance, he actually burst into laughter: "Hahahaha..."
Before the laughter died down, the emperor said to Lu Daban: "I never thought that the northern barbarians would be so stupid!
Several other countries know how to use coercion and inducement in an attempt to force me to open up border trade.
But this northern barbarian actually allowed his soldiers to rob food and supplies at will.
Humph, how ridiculous!
Just a full meal was enough to easily persuade their soldiers to surrender, which shows how miserable these guys were from starvation.
After hearing this, Lu Daban also bowed slightly and echoed:
“Your Majesty is absolutely right.
It seems that the underground passage was completely blocked by someone, so it would be impossible to sneak in even if you want to.
"Those northern barbarian soldiers must have been starving and desperate, which is why they did such a crazy thing!"
The sunlight shone through the window lattices of the palace onto the magnificent dragon throne. Feng Lingyu sat there with a smile on his face, feeling particularly happy.
He gently picked up the red brush and wrote an imperial edict in a flamboyant manner.
The content of this imperial edict was to grant General Wang a special power - allowing him to decide on his own whether to launch an attack on the Northern Barbarian Royal Court, and allowing him to freely use tactics and strategies according to actual conditions.
Lu Daban, who was standing by and serving, was so nervous that he kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
He thought to himself, "Your Majesty has clearly delegated power to General Wang Yan this time, allowing him to freely display his talents. I just hope there won't be any retribution later!"
Thinking of this, Lu Daban couldn't help but secretly glance at Feng Lingyu who was concentrating on drafting the decree.
At the same time, several cabinet ministers who were waiting to attend court were whispering and discussing with each other.
You know, these cabinet ministers often contradict His Majesty.
Every time Your Majesty wants to achieve great achievements that will be remembered forever, they always jump out and raise various objections.
Therefore, everyone is guessing how they will react to this decree.
Several lower-ranking officials murmured quietly, "I see. Perhaps some foolish young man will rush out again this time and threaten death as he has done in the past. He might even die by banging his head against a pillar! After all, our Majesty isn't one to be easily persuaded."
Another person echoed, "Yes, every time Your Majesty wants to accomplish something earth-shattering, these guys always spare no effort to pour cold water on it. I wonder what tricks they can come up with to stop Your Majesty's decision this time."
In this way, a tense and weird atmosphere filled the court, and everyone was waiting to see what kind of fierce confrontation between the emperor and his ministers would take place next.
