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

The next day.

It was not until noon that Jiang Zuo woke up from his dream in a daze.

He changed into a new pair of pants before leaving the room.

At this moment, many people in the mansion are busy.

"Sir, why do you look so listless?"

Master Guo stepped forward and asked.

Jiang Zuo yawned and did not answer. He only asked, "Have you finished everything we did yesterday?"

Master Guo nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. The group of people from the Jiangnan family will almost arrive in Anding County. When the time comes, you can go and negotiate with them in person."

Jiang Zuo nodded with satisfaction, still looking tired.

At this moment, Jiang Zuo was not the only one concerned about the current situation.

The movement in the mansion once again attracted Chen Qingyun's attention.

She slowly walked to their side and listened silently to the conversation between Jiang Zuo and Master Guo.

At this time, Master Guo said, "Also, the goods you requested earlier have all been packed. How about having them delivered to the State of Chen first?"

Jiang Zuo nodded slightly: "Okay, let those Chen people see the top-quality goods from our Anding County."

Hearing this, Chen Qingyun felt something was wrong and stepped forward and said, "Jiang Zuo, come here."

Jiang Zuo shook his head, trying to calm down, and asked, "Siyue, what's the matter?"

Chen Qingyun lowered his voice and said, "Didn't you agree to my request last night? Why are you still packing up? You are not just lying to me, are you?"

If it was really just a diplomatic mission to the State of Chen, there would be no need to prepare so many things.

Jiang Zuo shook his head: "How could I lie to you?"

"Then why are you packing so much? Logically speaking, you don't need to bring so many things when you go to Chen State as an envoy."

Chen Qingyun was still very skeptical.

Jiang Zuo explained, "I'm asking them to bring some goods with them so they can do business in Chen. There are as many merchants in Chen as there are in Yan, and they are all very generous."

Chen Qingyun: “…”

Besides making money, is there anything else on your mind, Jiang Zuo? !

The empress expressed helplessness, but she had long been accustomed to Jiang Zuo's temper.

"Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will find out?"

Chen Qingyun said, sighing secretly.

"What are you afraid of? We are all family members in Anding County. No one knows about this except the Qianqisi."

Jiang Zuo totally disagreed.

"If the emperor knew about this, you would definitely be punished."

Chen Qingyun wanted to use this to make Jiang Zuo feel afraid.

But Jiang Zuo still looked indifferent: "Punishment? No problem, it's better to punish me severely, remove my position, or just whip me casually. It doesn't matter."

What special hobby does Jiang Zuo have?

Chen Qingyun was completely speechless and had no idea how to answer.

Forget it, as long as Jiang Zuo doesn’t escape, Chen Qingyun won’t care about going south to do business.

After all, he had done this kind of thing before when providing disaster relief in Jizhou Prefecture.

The empress had already gotten used to it.

"Then you should prepare yourself well. I hope everything goes well. When you go south to Chen State, I will also go back to the capital."

Chen Qingyun said lightly.

She had been away from the capital for some time and had to worry about the situation in the court from time to time.

As long as the hidden dangers in the south are resolved, everything will develop in a good direction.

……

Beijing.

Prime Minister's House.

A man who looked like a eunuch followed the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion into the inner hall.

At this moment, in the inner hall, the right prime minister Lu Jun and the Minister of Personnel Xu Renyou were sitting in the middle, seemingly waiting for this person to arrive.

"Meet the Prime Minister, Minister Xu."

The eunuch knelt on the ground, his face obviously panicked.

"Eunuch Jin, it seems that you haven't done a very good job on this matter."

Lu Jun spoke first, his face looking extremely ugly.

The thing he was talking about was naturally the assassination of Jiang Zuo.

Eunuch Jin looked panicked and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Prime Minister, please forgive me and give me another chance. I will definitely solve the problem of Jiang Zuo."

Lu Jun sneered: "I'll give you another chance. Who will give me a chance?"

Hearing this, Eunuch Jin froze.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister. Although this attempt failed, it will definitely not implicate you. The assassin is already dead, and they can't find any evidence."

Eunuch Jin said quickly.

But it was obvious that Lu Jun had lost his patience. He turned around and winked at the follower beside him.

"Prime Minister, spare my life!"

Eunuch Jin sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere.

Only the slight sound of a sword being drawn was heard, and after a moment, he could no longer make any sound.

"I didn't expect that Jiang Zuo was so lucky. He was able to dodge every time."

Xu Renyou looked solemn.

They had sent people to assassinate Jiang Zuo several times, but each time was in vain.

"Even Yan Kang was taken down by Jiang Zuo. It seems that his power is not simple."

Lu Jun felt a sense of crisis.

He originally wanted to use Yan Kang's report to overthrow Jiangzuo, but unexpectedly, the one who fell was Yan Kang, the governor of the Six Garrisons.

It seems that the empress is determined to protect Jiangzuo.

The more the emperor valued Jiangzuo, the more uneasy the right prime minister became.

If the emperor finds out in the future that the right prime minister and his party are behind the scenes, Lu Jun will definitely not survive this winter.

"What should I do now?"

Even Lu Jun, who had experienced many storms, felt a little confused at this moment.

He never expected that such a young man could cause the current situation to become such a mess.

"Prime Minister, I heard that the mission to the Kingdom of Chen has been handed over to that Jiang Zuo again."

Xu Renyou suddenly said again.

"Oh? Is this true?"

Lu Jun's eyes lit up.

"I heard that His Majesty personally nominated Jiang Zuo to go, and now the imperial edict has been issued. Perhaps in a few days, Jiang Zuo will go south."

Xu Renyou has many spies in the court and is well-informed.

"The people of Chen have no intention of peace talks, so your Majesty is completely wasting his time. But that's fine, Jiang Zuo is so eager to make achievements, so let him see what the people of Chen can do."

Lu Jun's tense face showed a hint of mockery.

The Huainan Inspector General was surprised that Jiangzuo was willing to accept this hot potato.

Although the two countries do not kill envoys, many people in the court know how the incompetent old emperor of Chen treated the envoys of Yan in his early years.

As early as seven years ago, the State of Yan sent envoys to negotiate with the State of Chen. However, as soon as the envoys arrived at the capital of Chen, they were secretly tortured by the old emperor. When they returned to the State of Yan, they were no longer human.

Due to the lack of evidence and reason, the State of Yan could not take the opportunity to retaliate.

It is precisely because of this that no one in the court is willing to accept this difficult task.

Now that he has been appointed to the post in Jiangzuo, Lu Jun has been more than happy to do so.

"Since we can't kill him, let's tell the people of Chen to treat Jiang Zuo well when the time comes."

Xu Renyou said with a meaningful smile on his face.

"If Jiang Zuo dies in Chen State, Yan State will have reason to declare war on Chen State..."

Instead, Lu Jun was thinking about the deeper side.

"Prime Minister, don't worry too much."

Xu Renyou said, and then added new tea to Lu Jun.
