Chapter 227 Taking the Supreme Emperor Back to the Palace
But when she heard a minister say: Grain yields a thousand catties per mu.Moreover, it has been planted on a large scale, and Nangong Wei raised her head in surprise when the output of each place was more than [-] catties.

I heard before that Dongshang has grown high-yield grain here.

I thought it was just a legend, but it didn't turn out to be true.And mass production has already started so soon.

It would be great if they could grow these high-yield grains in South Vietnam, so that the people in South Vietnam would no longer have to worry about being hungry.Nangong Wei put down the wine glass in her hand, looked in Chu Yan's direction and thought.

After the banquet, Nangong Wei was arranged to rest in the post house.

For the next few days, Nangong Wei waited for the Eastern Shang Emperor to be received in the posthouse.But after waiting for a few days, there was no news that the Emperor Dongshang had received her.

Thinking of the situation in South Vietnam, Nangong Wei was very anxious.But she had no other choice.

In fact, Chu Yan in the palace wasn't idle either, that's why he didn't reply to Nangong Wei.

It was because the people he sent to South Vietnam to investigate the news had not come back, so it has been delayed until now.

As for the mountain that Nangong Wei mentioned, Chu Yan didn't care at first.But I think of what Jiang Wan once said: There must be a reason why nothing grows on a mountain, either it has been poisoned by someone, or there are mines.

Chu Yan sent the hidden guards in the south to investigate. The mountain was a barren mountain long ago, and nothing had ever grown there.

Therefore, after Nangong Wei proposed to exchange with barren hills.Chu Yan sent people to the barren mountain to investigate again. If it was really a mine, he agreed to send troops to help the Nanyue Emperor put down the rebellion.

If not, don't send troops there for the time being.

After waiting for two more days, Chu Yan received a letter from the south.When I opened it, I saw that the person who went to investigate the mine replied.Said: I found a lot of iron ore under the barren mountain.

Now, Chu Yan was happy.

Immediately preparing to invite Nangong Wei, unexpectedly Jiang Wan came at this time.

Jiang Wan came to Chu Yan because she heard that Nanyue was a country of women, and she wanted to visit Nanyue.

When Chu Yan heard this, how could he agree.South Vietnam is now under the control of Prime Minister Shang Ru, and everyone in the imperial city of South Vietnam is in danger.Not to mention ordinary people, even the royal family of South Vietnam cannot guarantee their own safety.

After Jiang Wan heard this, she still decided to go. It's not easy for her to travel through time, so of course she will go to the country of women to see and know.

Chu Yan was worried about Jiang Wan's safety and did not agree with her going there.

Besides, Jiang Wangui is the queen, how could she leave Beijing so easily.If those censors knew about this, they might start admonishing and abolishing the empress again.

But when Chu Yan refused, seeing Jiang Wan's disappointed look, Chu Yan couldn't bear it again.

After thinking about it, Chu Yan decided to take Jiang Wan with him.In this way, there is no need to worry about the censor's remonstrance.

Jiang Wan was moved when she heard Chu Yan say that she would go with her.

But after being moved, Jiang Wan was worried again.Chu Yan is the emperor, if he also leaves the capital, what if something happens in the court?

Jiang Wan expressed her worries, but Chu Yan had already had a countermeasure.

Chu Yan planned to take the Supreme Emperor and Queen Mother back to the palace, and let the Supreme Emperor handle the government affairs on his behalf during his absence.

Jiang Wan was happy after hearing this, and she was relieved to have the Supreme Emperor handle the government affairs on her behalf.

Now that he decided to go to South Vietnam, Chu Yan naturally had to deal with the matter in hand first.Also, send people to pick up the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother back to the palace.

So, in the next few days, Chu Yan started to deal with the matter in hand.Another thing is to inform Nangong Wei and make her ready to go back.

When the Supreme Emperor heard Chu Yan say that he was going to South Vietnam, he didn't quite agree.

But when he heard that the prime minister of South Vietnam stationed troops on the border, he agreed after thinking about it.If the royal family of South Vietnam is gone, it will not be good for Dongshang.Therefore, the Supreme Emperor agreed to return to the palace.

Three days later, Chu Yan took Jiang Wan, Jing Xuan and the others, as well as Nangong Wei, to the south from Jian in a light car.

Because the capital of Dongshang was close to the north, they traveled in a carriage for more than a month before reaching the border between Dongshang and Nanyue.

Unexpectedly, they had just arrived at Fucheng on the border.

I saw a lot of people dragging their families to the road outside the city, and they didn't know until they asked.

It turned out that the eldest daughter of the South Vietnamese Prime Minister Shang Ru died, and Shang Ru was angry and imprisoned the South Vietnamese emperor.Then, he ordered to attack Dongshang.

Although the previous attacks were blocked by the soldiers of Dongshang, Shangru transferred troops from other places.I heard that the newly mobilized [-] troops are already on their way.

Nangong Wei became anxious when she heard that, and was about to return to Nanyue with her two hidden guards.

How could Jiang Wan let her go at this time, and knocked her unconscious with a knife from behind.Then, let the two hidden guards help them into the city.

After entering the city, Chu Yan led the crowd to the magistrate's yamen.After showing his ID card, let the general stationed here come to see him.

Soon, an hour later, the guard came over on a fast horse.

After kneeling down and saluting, he reported the situation on the border to Chu Yan.

The [-] troops from South Vietnam have not yet arrived, and there is no danger on the border at present.However, the guard got the message.The [-] soldiers from South Vietnam have assembled and are approaching the border of Dongshang.

It's just that they stop and go.It had been several days since those troops were still in place, which made the guard puzzled.

After hearing what the guard said, Chu Yan understood what was going on.

The reason why these troops stop and go must be because of resistance from the South Vietnamese court.It is said that the Nanyue Emperor has been reluctant to send troops to the Eastern Shang Dynasty, but the prime minister Shang Ru has always insisted on sending troops.

In the end, the Nanyue Emperor lost to Shang Ru and was imprisoned in the palace.

After Chu Yan got the situation on the border, he immediately asked Jing Xuan to dispatch troops to stop the South Vietnamese invasion.However, there are far fewer troops stationed in the south than in the west and north.

Once mobilized, several nearby prefectures will have no soldiers to defend.

After much deliberation, Chu Yan decided to transfer these troops first.Then, start conscription on the spot, and these newly recruited soldiers will guard the city.

In addition, they have to speed up their entry into South Vietnam.Assist the Nanyue Emperor to arrest Shang Ru and bring them to justice, and then the Nanyue Emperor will withdraw these troops to the border.

After Chu Yan arranged everything, she asked Nangong Wei to wait here.He and Jiang Wan led people into South Vietnam to capture Shang Ru.

Chu Yan's request, Nangong Wei and the magistrate refused at the same time.Nangong Wei refused because she wanted to go with them, she was going to save Empress Nangong.

The magistrate refused because he was worried about the safety of Chu Yan and Jiang Wan.

After all, Shangru in South Vietnam dared to send troops to attack Dongshang.Naturally, she also dared to arrest Dongshang's people. If she learned that Dongshang's emperor and queen came to South Vietnam together, she would definitely not let go of this good opportunity.

Jiang Wan also felt that the magistrate was right, Chu Yan was the emperor, and it was too dangerous to go to South Vietnam.

After much deliberation, Jiang Wan decided to go alone.

However, she didn't say anything about it.Instead, she left secretly after leaving a note in the middle of the night. In order to rescue the Nanyue Emperor as soon as possible, Jiang Wan also took away a secret guard of Nangong Wei.

After all, they are from South Vietnam, and they are very familiar with the routes and terrain of South Vietnam.With her, Jiang Wan and the others can avoid many detours.
