I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

"What? The people of Mobei are willing to submit to our Great Yan Kingdom?"

All the officials in the court were surprised.

"Ger tribe? Their Khan Yigena seems to be the Great Khan of Mobei, the most powerful force in Mobei. They are actually willing to surrender to our Yan State."

During the hundreds of years since the founding of the state, although some small tribes paid tribute to the State of Yan, no large tribes in the northern desert ever paid tribute to the State of Yan.

Jiang Zuo has achieved such great success in just two or three months in office?

"Even the Geer tribe is willing to submit to Great Yan, let alone other tribes. The pacification of Mobei is just around the corner!"

A minister said excitedly.

"Yes, the big problem that has plagued the border for hundreds of years may have been solved."

"Your Majesty has a keen eye for talent. Jiang Zuo is truly a prodigy."

Left Prime Minister Wei Hong stepped forward and said, ostensibly praising Jiang Zuo, but in fact he was praising the empress's vision.

The Right Prime Minister's party was suddenly embarrassed at this moment.

Just now, this group of people swore that Jiang Zuo had ulterior motives, but now this urgent report has slapped them in the face.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Geer tribe requests to see you."

At this time, the chief eunuch reported.

"Summoned."

Chen Qingyun was very happy at this moment, secretly rejoicing: "Jiang Zuo really didn't let me down!"

Now the situation in Mobei has stabilized and there is no need to worry as before.

Even the Great Khan of Mobei surrendered to the State of Yan, let alone other tribes.

A moment later, the envoy of the Geer tribe walked into the palace. He was wearing a woolen coat and a fur hat. He knelt down and bowed as soon as he entered the palace, saying, "Your Majesty."

The ministers on both sides were all surprised. It was the first time in their lives that they saw people from Mobei come to the court to pay homage to the Emperor of Dayan.

"Flat body."

Chen Qingyun said calmly.

The envoy stood up and said, "I am an envoy from the Geer tribe in Mobei. I have come to see Your Majesty on the orders of Great Khan Igena and General Jiangzuo. This is our Geer tribe's letter of submission. Please accept it, Your Majesty."

The messenger mentioned Jiangzuo in his words.

"So, all this is Jiang Zuo's credit?"

The ministers couldn't believe it at all.

A junior county magistrate who had only been in the officialdom for a few years was able to solve the troubles in Mobei in such a short time.

With such a talent, no wonder His Majesty valued him so much before.

Following the envoys came a border envoy from Yan State, who also reported to Chen Qingyun: "Your Majesty, now those people from Mobei are determined to join our Yan State. Now the population of the entire Mobei grassland is declining sharply!"

Chen Qingyun was delighted and understood Jiang Zuo's plan.

"So this is Jiang Zuo's purpose!"

Some ministers also suddenly realized it.

"This is a ruthless move. If the population on the grassland decreases, then the pressure on our Yan State's border defense will be greatly reduced."

All the ministers were shocked. They could never have guessed that Jiangzuo could solve the long-standing problems of Mobei in such a unique way.

Today's court meeting was fruitful...

Royal study room.

Chen Qingyun opened another memorial sent by Jiang Zuo, and saw that it read: "Your Majesty, the situation in Mobei has been stabilized, and the task assigned to me by Your Majesty has been completed. This time, Anding County spent a lot of treasury silver to pacify Mobei, and there is not much left. I was also cheated of tens of thousands of taels, and suffered heavy losses. I hope Your Majesty can reward me to make up for the losses of Anding County..."

Jiang Zuo is good in every way except that he asks the Empress for money all day long.

Seeing the letter, Chen Qingyun smiled and couldn't help laughing.

You deserve it. It’s your fault that you, Jiang Zuo, are so greedy.

There are such good things in this world that you can encounter.

I really thought it was pie in the sky.

Well, let's take it as a lesson for him so that he won't be so greedy in the future.

Jiang Zuo handled the affairs of Mobei very well this time. Chen Qingyun will definitely reward him. After finishing the affairs of the capital, she will definitely go to Anding County again to see if there are any new changes in Jiang Zuo's governance.

A moment later, someone knocked on the door.

"Your Majesty, Lu Xiuyuan requests to see you."

"Come in."

Chen Qingyun said coldly.

The person who came in was the commander of the imperial guards, Lu Xiuyuan.

After kneeling, he reported directly: "Your Majesty, there has been new progress in the Fan Yuan case. The murderers have all been caught and have revealed several accomplices. They are all spies sent into the palace by the State of Chen."

"Elaborate work?"

Chen Qingyun was suddenly shocked.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I am incompetent. These Chen spies have been lurking in the palace for seven years... I have ordered a thorough investigation of them all. No one will be let off."

Lu Xiuyuan did not dare to be negligent, for fear of being punished by the empress.

After all, Lu Xiuyuan must bear the main responsibility for this assassination.

But to Lu Xiuyuan's surprise, the empress did not get angry immediately.

For some reason, the empress's personality seems to have changed a lot since she returned from her incognito tour.

"It seems that the State of Chen is determined to go to war with Dayan."

Chen Qingyun said calmly, with a hint of ruthlessness in his phoenix eyes.

There are now hundreds of thousands of soldiers stationed on the border between Yan and Chen, and a war could break out at any time.

The situation is quite tense.

Fortunately, the situation in Mobei has now stabilized, and Chen Qingyun finally has the energy to deal with the affairs of the South.

If we can make peace, that would naturally be best.

But who to send to handle this matter is Chen Qingyun’s current problem.

"Strictly check the identities of all the Imperial Guards. No one can be left out. Anyone who dares to be negligent will be executed!"

Chen Qingyun ordered sternly.

For some reason, after finding out that it was Chen Guo who was responsible, Chen Qingyun felt a lot more at ease.

At least Fan Yuan’s death had nothing to do with people inside or outside the court.

The situation is relatively stable.

……

Prime Minister's House.

Right Prime Minister Lu Jun held the Shuozhongbi pot, then threw it hard on the ground, cursing: "Now Yigena has pledged allegiance to the court, what the hell are Zhang Li and his gang doing!"

They and their group originally wanted to help the people of Mobei by funding them so that they could eliminate Jiang Zuo, the annoying guy.

But now, not only did he fail to get rid of Jiangzuo, but he was able to pacify the situation in Mobei.

"Prime Minister, calm down. Those people from Mobei are definitely unreliable."

Xu Renyou stepped forward and comforted him.

"We've wasted so much money, but we still can't deal with Jiang Zuo. Now that he has been appreciated by the emperor, it will be even more difficult to target him."

Lu Jun looked solemn.

"Prime Minister, why do we have to work so hard? It would be better to just find someone to deal with Jiang Zuo as before..."

Xu Renyou's voice became lower and lower.

Lu Jun naturally wanted to get rid of Jiang Zuo, but the risk was too great through assassination.

"It didn't work the last few times. Will it work this time?"

Lu Jun was slightly worried.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister. Based on my investigation, I have found the weakness of Jiang Zuo."

Xu Renyou's eyes were cunning.

"Oh? What weakness?"

Lu Jun was quite curious.

Xu Renyou leaned close to Lu Jun's ear and whispered four words.
