Sheng Fu

Chapter 1133 Establishing the Twin Dragon Mansion
Ten thousand feet of gold paper, countless letters written in blood.

At this moment, not only Yuwen Jun, but also Fu Cheng, Xie Yiming and others, gradually became embarrassed.

Xie Yiming even thought that if they encountered uninvited guests, he could have Lord Pu Weiqing kill Chunyun along with them, but alas, this was the situation.

Grandpa Guo and the others initially looked solemn, but then gradually relaxed.

At least Yuwen Jun had the upper hand in terms of momentum over those ancient nobles.

Seeing the people so excited and high-spirited, we have won their hearts today, which can be considered a victory.

This North-South meeting began and ended in an instant. The cooks started fires on the spot, and the people who came today were able to have a full meal with meat.

Among the crowd, the students of Bailu Academy gradually realized that something was wrong.

Whether the new policies will be implemented depends not on this North-South meeting, but on whether His Majesty the Emperor can act in accordance with the trend.

However, as the smoke rose from the chimneys, most of the poor people looked at the stove with greedy expressions, without considering the deeper meaning behind it.

Seeing this, Yuwen Jun, sitting on the throne, had no choice but to loudly proclaim, "Today we share joy with the people; let us all drink until we are drunk!"

Xie Yiming and Fu Cheng took the lead in responding.

Even so, Yuwen Jun still looked somewhat embarrassed.

Jing Peiyao, standing to the side, said softly to Yuwen Jun, "The North-South talks are just a formality. This place may become a battlefield, or it may not. This is exactly what we expected, so why should you feel embarrassed?"

"Such a big matter cannot be decided by a North-South meeting."

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Jun felt a sense of relief and smiled helplessly, saying, "If I had known this would happen, we wouldn't have needed to dress up so formally today, and we wouldn't have troubled the Dean to personally bring his sword."

"Let's go into the crowd. Everyone wants to see up close whether our faces are as handsome and beautiful as the legends say."

Jing Peiyao stood up as well, her expression calm and composed.

……

……

into the night.

Inside Hengchang Hall.

Xie Yiming, Fu Cheng, the master of seven-character regulated verse, the master of five-character quatrains, and the heads of various aristocratic families were all present.

The last time Hengchang Palace was this lively was on the wedding day of Yuwen Jun and Jing Peiyao.

Yuwen Jun and Jing Peiyao shared the throne.

"What a peaceful day. I was hoping for some excitement, but alas, nothing happened. However, our lineup should not be underestimated." Yuwen Jun looked at everyone and grinned.

Old Master Guo wanted to say a few words, but seeing Fu Cheng's unusually calm expression, he thought it best not to speak. The Northern King had gradually grown into a powerful prince, and on important occasions, he should give the young Northern King enough respect and understanding.

At this moment, whether it was Helian Qingyi or Li He and the others from the south, they all kept to their duties and dared not speak casually.

Li He and the others felt both at ease and not entirely at ease.

If the new policy is implemented, they will have made the right bet; if it is not, they will likely face an irrecoverable fate. However, considering that there is now a petition signed by ten thousand people, the chances of the new policy being implemented are very high.

I just feel that it's a bit too early to take sides.

Like those aristocratic heads who remain silent, they should wait until the situation is completely clear before making a final decision.

But it's too late to say anything now.

Tian Jun and the others were also subtly observing Yuwen Jun's expression out of the corner of their eyes. They wanted to discern something different from the young leader's face, but the overwhelming aura of a powerful figure from the Lingxiao realm prevented them from doing so.

Xie Yiming carefully considered his words and said, "The morning court is the day after tomorrow. Fu Cheng and I will lead the way to set an example and encourage Your Highness to take the stage."

Yuwen Jun shook his head and said, "No need. I will take full responsibility for this matter. I only have grudges with the powerful families, not personal relationships, so I have no burden in taking action."

“I will play the villain, and you all can fan the flames a little.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Cheng immediately suggested, "Although Your Highness is popular, this approach will inevitably lead to a surge in enemies, which will be detrimental to Your Highness's future policies."

Yuwen Jun coldly smiled and said, "Now that I hold military power, who dares to disobey me!"

Fu Cheng was speechless. Yes, people only then realized that Yuwen Jun held military power.

Upon hearing this, the heads of the families, including Li He, Tian Jun, Su He, and He Jin, felt much more at ease.

No matter how profound the reasoning, without the support of power, it is all in vain.

Yuwen Jun changed the subject, saying, "However, there is another matter that is of utmost importance now."

"The convergence of the North and South is inevitable."

"Although there has always been trade between the North and the South, it has not been systematic, and the benefits have been monopolized by powerful families and nobles. Now we need to open up a new trade route to benefit the people of the North and the South and balance taxes."

"The main trading post will be Shuanglong Mountain."

"I will send people to build Shuanglong Mansion at the foot of Shuanglong Mountain to fulfill the friendship between the North and the South."

"You can discuss this trade route yourselves. Once you have reached a general conclusion, I will transfer the remaining business connections of the Purple Gold Alliance to you. In this way, we can open up the economic artery between the north and south."

Upon hearing this, everyone was deeply shocked.

Clearly, Yuwen Jun had no intention of getting into arguments or waiting around; he wanted to achieve tangible results.

Xie Yiming then remembered that Shen Jun also had the Purple Gold Alliance Chamber of Commerce, and the strength of this chamber of commerce was enough to secretly influence the economic lifeline of the human race.

Although the Purple Gold Alliance collapsed, the members of the Chamber of Commerce are still around.

He finally understood why His Majesty wanted to keep Shen Jun in the capital.

“During your discussions, if any outside merchants come to join you, refuse them all. Once you have gained momentum, then consider recruiting talented individuals,” Yuwen Jun said softly to Fu Cheng and Xie Yiming.

Although the combined strength of these aristocratic families was not very strong, they had the Guo family, the Helian family, and a number of second-tier noble families, plus the support of the Hengchang Sect and the tacit approval of His Majesty.

Once this force is established, it will be enough to make those ancient nobles bow their heads and behave themselves.

"We obey!" Fu Cheng and Xie Yiming replied firmly.

The name "Shuanglong Mansion" alone is impressive. Having just witnessed the grand scene of ten thousand people writing a petition in blood, the rise of Shuanglong Mansion is undoubtedly a way to once again win over the hearts of people from both the North and the South.

As for the rights and wrongs in the imperial court, Yuwen Jun didn't care at all.

Only then did Old Master Guo speak up, saying, "I wish to accompany Your Highness to the morning court the day after tomorrow. My old bones still carry some weight, and my eloquence is still sharp enough to lend Your Highness a helping hand."

The old man was highly respected among the human race, and even a slight outburst of his temper would make various factions think twice.

Yuwen Jun felt a warmth in his heart, and then smiled gently at Old Master Guo, saying, "I appreciate your kindness, senior, but the morning court the day after tomorrow is destined to be very lively, and there may be bloodshed. The scene will be bloody, so you don't need to go in person."

"The new policies are up to me, not those filthy things."

Old Master Guo took a deep breath, and the other heads of prominent families also felt their morale soar.

These words were deliberately spoken by Yuwen Jun for the heads of the noble families present, subtly influencing their hearts and minds!
