A few days later, after Zhang Han and Hong Luo had repeatedly discussed the situation, and Hong Luo and Liangzhou constantly sent messages to each other, the peace between the two countries was finally settled. Furthermore, after a month's time, the kings of the two countries went to Zhang River together, where they signed the peace agreement.
Although Feng Country had made certain concessions, they had still earned a large amount of benefits, especially from the large amount of gold and silver that Ning Country had compensated for, which had allowed Feng Country to reap quite a lot of benefits.
It was also because Tang Yin had the gold and silver from the Ning Country that he had consecutively issued orders and Levy of Soldiers s throughout the country.
This was also the first time Tang Yin had issued a declaration order and a Levy of Soldiers after he ascended to the top of the Feng Country Monarch.
The order was to gather the views of all the citizens of the Feng Country on the national policy for the future. No matter what status the other party had, whether it was a noble or an ordinary citizen, as long as they could speak a little about the national policy, they would be able to write it down and distribute it to the imperial government. Finally, Tang Yin would be able to select and promote them. Levy of Soldiers s were much simpler. They were used to select outstanding talents from different counties. Regarding this, Tang Yin only set one requirement, which was that the talents reported by different counties must be at least in the Spirit Origin Realm.
The implementation of the Levy of Soldiers was simple, the Spirit Cultivator's cultivation could be detected using the Arts of Clairvoyance. After the order was issued, people from different places spread to the Yan City like snowflakes. Even without looking at the content, just looking at the mountain of people was enough to make one's head big.
Fortunately, he was a Right Prime Minister, and had a large number of civil servants under his command. With sufficient manpower, he first categorized all the civil servants into different categories, and then took their essences to get rid of their dregs. Finally, he gave the selected civilian officials to Tang Yin.
In just a few days, Shangguan Yuanji had already given Tang Yin over a hundred reports.
The difficulty of his screening seemed to be extremely fast for Tang Yin. His principle was simple, as long as there was no desire of 'taking charge of the heavens and ordering the dukes', he would immediately set his gaze upon them. Only then would he carefully read the words that contained such intentions, and would he silently remember the names of those who did not follow along the way.
Amongst the pieces submitted by Shangguan Yuanji, one of them was the one that left the deepest impression on him, and was written by a person named Gao Liangjie. In the report, he clearly stated that the two countries of Feng Ning City could not coexist, and even if there was peace, there would definitely be a life and death battle in the future.
Using the Son of Heaven to summon King Ning Yan Chu for Yan City, if Yan Chu really comes, their own side will capture him as a hostage for Ning Country. If he doesn't dare to come, it would be disobeying the Son of Heaven's orders, which is disobeying the decree, which is disobeying the decree.
Seeing this letter, Tang Yin's heart was overjoyed. Although Gao Liangjie did not directly write the words of 'taking control of the heavens to order the dukes', but this meaning could be found everywhere in his ears. The thing that made Tang Yin the happiest was that he was able to see that there would be a war between the two nations in the future, and was not as optimistic as the others.
Finally, Tang Yin selected three out of the three people he chose from his current performances. The one who ranked first was Gao Liangjie, the one who was ranked second was called Wen Hao, and the one who was ranked third was called Tang Yu. Tang Yin gave the names of the three to Shangguan Yuanji, and immediately summoned the three to the capital. He wanted to personally meet the three of them.
Since he was going to make the agreement with Yan Chu in a month's time, Tang Yin wouldn't be able to stay in the Yan City for too long.
Shangguan Yuanji's efficiency was high, in just five days of time, he had already sent Gao Liangjie, Wen Hao and Tang Yu, who Tang Yin had summoned, to the Yan City.
It was noon today, and as usual, Tang Yin went to the backyard to eat with his three wives but when he arrived at Wu Mei's house and discovered that he wasn't there, he asked the maids and found out that both Wu Mei and Yan Yinghan had left the house.
Tang Yin was full of questions, and asked: "When did they leave?"
"It's morning!" The maidservant replied, "The princess came to look for Madam and had Madam accompany her for a stroll. Madam felt bored while staying in the mansion, so she followed the princess out!"
"Nonsense!" Tang Yin frowned. This was the capital of the Feng Country, but it did not mean that it was safe. Tang Yin was very clear on the number of enemies he had, both domestic and foreign, and there were far too many who wished to kill him. Furthermore, Yan Yinghan was the Princess of Ning Country, she was a dangerous person by instinct, who knows what kind of idea she had in mind by luring Wu Mei out.
Thinking about it, Tang Yin asked, "Where did they go?"
"This ?" The maid shook her head and whispered, "This servant doesn't know."
"When will you be back?"
"This servant doesn't know." The maid answered in a quieter voice, not daring to look up.
"I don't know anything!" Tang Yin muttered, impatiently waved his hand and sent the maid away.
After that, he waved his hand to call over the Hidden Arrow Crew that was hidden in the darkness, and asked: "Madame Le Ping followed Princess Ning Country out, do you know?"
Several Hidden Arrow Crew s answered in unison: "I know! However, your Majesty, please be at ease. There are already brothers secretly protecting Madam's safety. "
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded and asked: "Do you know where they are now?"
"Just now, I heard from my brothers that Madam and Princess went to the bazaar on the street where Eastern City and Longevity Street are located."
"Alright, I understand." Tang Yin paused for a moment, then said: "In the future, if Madam wants to leave the Palace ?"
"Do we want to stop them?"
Tang Yin thought for a while, then waved his hand and said: "No need!" After all, Wu Mei was his wife and not a prisoner under his house arrest. He added, "But tell me right away."
"Yes!" "Great King!" Hidden Arrow Crew all replied.
The market on Longevity Street! Tang Yin secretly frowned, that was the place with the most bustling Yan City, and also the place with the most tourists, he hoped that no accidents would happen. Tang Yin felt that his heart was unsettled, and in the end, he still decided to personally go and bring Wu Mei back.
He returned to his room, changed into casual attire, and brought along Yuanwu and Yuanbiao, the two brothers, in preparation to leave the house.
But before he could even leave the door, he saw Shangguan Yuanji quickly walking over.
Seeing Tang Yin who was dressed in casual clothes, Shangguan Yuanji was also stunned, and asked: "Your Majesty, this is ?"
Tang Yin replied: "I'm going out of the Palace. Yuanji, what's the matter?"
"The King has summoned Gao Liangjie, Wen Hao and Tang Yu. They have already been brought here by this subject. Does Your Majesty want to meet them now?" Shangguan Yuanji asked.
Tang Yin thought for a while, then said: "Bring them to my study first, let them wait there."
"Oh ?" Shangguan Yuanji was in a difficult position. Although Tang Yin was the monarch, and Gao Liangjie, Wen Hao and Tang Yu were just ordinary people, but since they had travelled thousands of miles to find him, and had coldly looked for him at the side, this was very rude, and wasn't treating him like a virtuous man.
Seeing Shangguan Yuanji's troubled expression, Tang Yin asked: "What, is there a problem?"
Shangguan Yuanji cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, it's better to meet the three of them now."
Tang Yin said absent-mindedly: "I don't have that time right now. Let them wait and see how patient the three of them are. " He made up an excuse.
"Yes!" "Great King!" Tang Yin insisted on not seeing his, and Shangguan Yuanji could not force his.
After Tang Yin finished giving orders, he quickly left. When he arrived outside the residence, there were immediately guards who led the horses there. Tang Yin and the other two got on their horses and quickly headed to Longevity Street.
Longevity Street was the largest shopping district in the Yan City. There were many shops and groups of merchants. Even though it was not the festive day, there were still many tourists passing by and there were an endless stream of them.
Finding Wu Mei and Yan Yinghan in such a large block was not an easy task, but luckily, they had Hidden Arrow Crew protecting them from the shadows, so they knew where they were. Furthermore, they received the news in advance, knowing that the King had rushed over, so when Tang Yin and Brother Shangguan arrived at the corner of Longevity Street, two Hidden Arrow Crew s came over to welcome them.
Tang Yin dismounted, and handed the reins to a young man with hidden arrows, and asked: "Where is Madam?"
"Your Majesty, please ?"
Without waiting for Hidden Arrow Crew to finish speaking, Tang Yin interrupted him and said, "Don't call me that outside."
"Yes!" Young Master! " The Hidden Arrow Crew's reaction was also fast, quickly changing his words: "Young Noble, the Madam is right in front, I will lead you there."
"Alright!"
Tang Yin and Brother Shangguan walked with Hidden Arrow Crew towards the center of Longevity Street.
The four of them were both in casual clothes and had not ridden a horse. They were no different from ordinary people. If he wanted to find out what was different about them, it would be that the temperament they emitted was different from ordinary people.
Very quickly, the Hidden Arrow Crew leading the way stopped in front of a jewelry shop, looked inside the shop, then turned around and said to Tang Yin: "Young Noble, the Madam is inside."
Tang Yin walked up and looked inside the shop from the entrance, it was true, Wu Mei and Yan Yinghan were inside the shop right now. The two girls chatted and laughed. From time to time, they would pick up the jewelry on display and measure it on their own body.
He originally wanted to go in, but after seeing Wu Mei's brilliant smile, he stopped in his tracks.
It was unknown how long it had been since Wu Mei had laughed heartily like this. After becoming the wife of the ruler, there were too many rules that had to be put on her body, and too many etiquette to be observed. Wu Mei's originally innocent and cheerful character became more and more depressed, and the smile on her face also became less and less.
Tang Yin knew that Wu Mei liked him and loved him deeply. It was also because of this that she could endure all of this.
In Tang Yin's mind, Wu Mei should be like this, wherever she was, unrestrained and free from any restraints. She would laugh as she pleased, play as she pleased, and it was as if a layer of light was covering her entire body.
Suddenly, a deep sense of guilt arose in Tang Yin's heart, as if she was slowly depriving Wu Mei of her happiness.0
