C598 Heraldic

As the King of Jin, Lee Keyong was actually slightly stronger than Lee Maozhen and Zhu Wen. He was the true strongest warrior behind the Lingnan, if there was no crime placed on him, the imperial government would not have been able to deal with him. Now that Lee Keyong revealed his claws, it was as good as telling Shen Muqing.1

After thinking for a while, Shen Muqing said, "How is the gathering of the 1.7m troops under Zhu Wen going?"

Wang Yuyan hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "These armies are too numerous for the local officials to handle. Even if the army is handed over, it's still in name. The actual soldiers are still under Zhu Wen's command. It's rumored that Zhu Youzhen, the third son of Zhu Wen, is still alive and ambitious. The generals under Zhu Wen's command want to support him."

A cold light flashed in Shen Muqing's eyes. He still wanted to regain his composure. He was courting death! Zhu Wen had actually stayed in the Lingnan for too long, and with a great army of one million and seven hundred thousand it would already be difficult to deal with.

Although the head of the imperial court was beheaded, the imperial government could not accept so many soldiers and did not have that many men. If the situation dragged on, they would have to rely on Lee Maozhen to solve the problem with Zhu Wen's army.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Muqing said with determination, "Pass this royal decree to Lee Maozhen to send troops to the Western Pass to cut off Wu Tie's army at the waist. Also, let Lee Maozhen accept the command of both armies and kill those who resist!"

This was a kind of decision for the soldiers and generals under Zhu Wen, as well as a test for Lee Maozhen. If Lee Maozhen could withstand the temptation of this expansion, he would become Shen Muqing's confidant.

Wang Yuyan said, "As you command! "Send the message back now."

Shen Muqing nodded and said: "Send Wu Tie a letter to speed up the march, if he wants to completely control the Lingnan, it needs to be grasped by his own people!"

After Wang Yuyan accepted the order, she left with Ah Zhu and Ah Bi. Watching them leave, Shen Muqing left the Royal Mansion to rush to the Imperial Palace. Countless beauties gathered in the Imperial Garden, waiting for Shen Muqing! They looked forward to it.

The empress dowager also took this matter very seriously. The scale was even greater than before, and after the selection, there were only three thousand pretty girls left. And for Shen Muqing to choose two of the three princesses, the competition was still very fierce.

The empress dowager sat on the throne and looked at all the beauties, feeling rather satisfied with the selection. "His Majesty values this matter greatly and should be coming soon. All of you must be serious."

Lee Shishi, Wu Meiniang, Diao Chan, and Cai Wenji were all extremely nervous after hearing this. They too were anticipating the Royal Consort Selection and the man who had appeared in their dreams.

Time passed minute after minute. Seeing that time had passed and that Shen Muqing had not appeared, the Empress Dowager frowned slightly. At that moment, Wei Zhongxian arrived before her with two young eunuchs. "Empress Dowager."

"What's wrong? Did that kid, Ninth Brother, leave again? "

Wei Zhongxian said awkwardly, "Empress Dowager, don't be anxious. Yes, the imperial government is holding a meeting. His Majesty told Prince of Ning to go to the meeting and come over with His Highness."

Only then did the empress dowager heave a sigh of relief. "En, proper business is important. This Dowager will take them to stay for a while, so His Majesty won't have to worry too much."

When the empress dowager finished speaking, Wei Zhongxian prostrated himself on the ground. "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty. Your servant will reply now." After saying that, he led his men away.
