The Prodigal Son of the Empire

Wang Kang went to the Wuming Temple again, and he wanted to invite Monk Yinyue out of the mountain.

This is a real martial arts master, with him around, he can withstand many troubles.

The previous foreshadowing worked. Under Wang Kang's tobacco and alcohol offensive, Monk Yinyue readily agreed,

But he always felt that this guy seemed to be waiting for him...

After arranging everything, Wang Kang went to Xinfeng City for a tour. He toured very carefully, factories, iron mines, schools, streets...

There are other places under construction,

Xinfeng has changed, and so have the citizens of the city. Everyone has a smile from the bottom of their hearts.

In fact, what they want is not much. They can do something and gain something.

Satisfy food and clothing, a little wealth will be safe,

And these, Wang Kang gave them, and because of this, Fuyang Earl's Mansion has a high prestige in Xinfeng!

Fuyang Castle is the center of everything.

People greeted Wang Kang respectfully, and he responded one by one.

My mind is complicated. Although I don't want to stop going to Kyoto, I don't know when I will come back...

It's another new day, and the time limit stipulated by Emperor Zhao has already exceeded three days.

For ordinary city dwellers, it's just an ordinary day, but they don't know,

on this day,

Their lord, Wang Kang, has quietly set off, leaving Xinfeng and Yangzhou, and his next stop is Kyoto...

[Author's Digression]: The first update (the new volume is unfolding, the excitement continues, everyone can see what you are looking forward to,)

Chapter 434 On the Road

On the flat official road, a carriage is driving. The carriage is very ordinary and common, and it is not eye-catching...

And this car was Wang Kang's, and there were only Wang Kang and his two wives in the car, Lin Yuyan and Li Qingman.

And the maid Xiaotao,

Zhou Qing was driving the car, and Monk Yinyue was sitting on the shaft of the car, holding a jug...

It was just dawn, and without disturbing anyone, he quietly left,

The city dwellers also know nothing,

Otherwise, if they are found out, I'm afraid they will send you off a thousand miles away,

He didn't like such a scene.

As a newlywed, I have only tasted meat, and I haven't had time to enjoy the fragrant nephrite in the future, how can I say goodbye, the two beautiful wives must be brought along.

Of course, this is only the case on the bright side, but in the dark, there are hidden guards following,

It's a long way to go to Kyoto, he doesn't know what will happen,

You can only prepare in advance,

The assassination of him by the whale eaters in the East China Sea was still vivid in his memory, and that time was considered extremely dangerous. If it wasn't for Monk Yinyue, the result would have been difficult to say...

And the young master that Yu Yize was talking about made him always take it to heart,

At the time of the big wedding, from the attack of the Minister of Rites, to the Xue family in Huzhou, and even the Jinyu Chamber of Commerce, which has been cooperating with him, also defected.

He always feels that these people are not presumptuous for no reason, there is a big hand behind them, manipulating...

And Han Yu, who did such an outrageous thing, unexpectedly didn't make a fuss, didn't even mention it...

These also reveal something,

foggy,

All of this will be waiting for him to explore and excavate...

"In Emperor Zhao's imperial decree, the time limit given to you is five days, and now it has exceeded three days. We are on our way, and we need two days. If we delay by five days, will Emperor Zhao blame you?"

Lin Yuyan asked, interrupting his thoughts,

"Blame? Is he mean?" Wang Kang raised his eyebrows.

"Do you think it's easy to be the master of the Ministry of Rites and Guests? This is a real mess!"

A gleam of coldness flashed in Wang Kang's eyes,

"Three years ago, during the war between Yue and Zhao, the country of Zhao was defeated. The newly succeeded Emperor Zhao was in a state of instability, with internal and external troubles. In desperation, he signed an indemnity treaty!"

"Five years in a row, and now it's the fourth year,"

"However, the Yue Kingdom is getting more and more excessive. Not only does it want money, but also people. It has already married two princesses before. It is said that this time, it will marry another one,"

Wang Kang said, looking at Lin Yuyan, "Do you think such a thing, who can bear it, let alone the king of a country,"

"The host and guest secretary are in charge of foreign affairs, so it means that you take the lead in this matter, and Zhao Huang gave you the blame."

"He just dumped the blame on me,"

"Then what does Emperor Zhao mean?" Lin Yuyan asked again.

"Is there even a need to think about it? I'm sure I don't want to,"

"But isn't there a treaty?"

"Treaties are waste paper,"

Wang Kang said coldly: "This basically depends on the strength of the country!"

"As long as our country is strong, so what if we break the contract,"

"But the current situation is that it's not a question of whether we comply or not, but our country of Zhao, who simply can't afford so much compensation!"

"Then what can you do?" Lin Yuyan asked.

"So, this is a mess. The compensation for the land cession is in my hands, and I am the one who bears the infamy in the end!"

"If it can be negotiated well, everyone will be happy. If it can't be negotiated, the contradictions will intensify... Anyway, it's very difficult,"
