Song Xi came to the door of the State Guesthouse and casually ordered: "Explain it."

The visiting envoys were overwhelmed by his momentum and did not dare to refute any dissatisfaction they had.

I originally thought that the Song family would lead their subordinates to kneel down to receive the order, leaving some respect and dignity for the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty. Who would have thought that this traitor would be so arrogant and want to receive the order just by standing casually?!

The leader, the prince, murmured for a while, then finally gave up and began to read out the imperial edict.

His main task was to convey orders, and the battles and contests between the north and the south had nothing to do with him.

After returning to Jinling, he tried to find a way to retire. He would never do this kind of hard work with splints again!

The content of the imperial edict this time was slightly different from the previous one, and some gentle comfort was given in response to Song Xi's request.

In addition to announcing that Dingbei Hou and his son would be overturned and rectified, Song Xi, who would stabilize the situation in the north and wipe out the Tatars, was granted the title of king with a different surname. In addition, he was also ordered to lead his troops on an expedition to defeat the three major rebel armies entrenched in Qilu, Anhui, and Xiangchu.

Clear as soon as possible.

Although the words were slightly tactful and compromising, the emperor's arrogance could not be concealed.

He wanted to annex the power and territory of the Song family with just one imperial edict. Emperor Longhe's ambition was indeed a bit naive and ridiculous.

After Wang Gonggong read the imperial edict, he was about to hand it to Song Xi. Unexpectedly, the other party did not even say "I am a humble minister to receive the edict".

Jian Dong on the side took the imperial edict directly, waved his hand and ordered the waiter to greet the envoy.

Song Xi didn't say any more polite words, turned around and walked back to the main table of the banquet.

Prince Tu was left dumbfounded at the door, frowning as he thought about the strange situation.

Song Xi did not say "accept the edict", nor did he accept the edict with his own hands, so was he accepting the edict or resisting it?

How should I report my instructions to the Holy One after I return? Will I be blamed or punished if I report truthfully?

If Song Xi refuses to admit it in the future, then wouldn’t these envoys...

The group of envoys behind him seemed to understand his concerns, and quietly stepped forward to remind him: "Song Xi's subordinates accepted the imperial edict, which means that the Song family has recognized the reward of the king with a different surname. Will they go out to conquer that country in accordance with the edict?"

It’s something that other people have to worry about, and it has nothing to do with us who are responsible for announcing the decree.”

Hearing this, the prince felt a little relieved and raised his eyes to look at the situation in the banquet hall.

The Song family's Mid-Autumn Festival dinner has become lively again, and all kinds of congratulations and joys are heard.

Some subordinates even changed their name to "Prince", and Song Xi also acknowledged this identity with a smile.

It seems that there should be no problem at present, and the prince does not want to worry about the follow-up matters.

However, when returning to life, one still has to carefully consider the wording and conceal the fact that Song Xi was standing there to receive the decree, otherwise the Holy Lord Long Yan would be furious, and wouldn't it be the slaves like them who were running errands who would be the unlucky ones?

Several members of the envoy group secretly prepared their confessions and planned to use unified rhetoric to fool the emperor.

Anyway, there are no Jinling officials present, so what's the point of telling lies as long as you can save your life?

After making up their minds, they relaxed and immediately returned to the inn without staying for the banquet. They did not dare to attend the Song family's banquet. They would rush back to Jinling overnight after they had rested.

The Song family ministers present ignored the leaving envoys and continued to drink and dine happily while enjoying the banquet.

On this Mid-Autumn Festival night, the guests and hosts had a great time, and it was not until night fell that they gradually dispersed to rest.

After the banquet, Song Xi and Yu Yalan returned to Song Garden to bathe and sleep.

The couple lay on the couch hugging each other and chatting about tonight's events in a relaxed mood.

"Husband, does the title given to you by the Dog Emperor have any metaphor? I think everyone's expressions seem a bit subtle."

Song Xi was conferred the title of King Wu of Qin by Emperor Longhe today. The civil servants and generals attending the banquet were hesitant to speak. Several elders were very dissatisfied with this title and did not say anything more in order not to spoil the atmosphere of the banquet.

Yu Yalan was a little confused and worried about this, wondering if there were any unknown harms involved.

She heard that the title of king has always been based on Qin. Is there no such saying in Zhou Dynasty?

Song Xi chuckled softly when he heard this, stroking his wife's cheek and explaining: "According to historical records, there was a King Wu of Qin a thousand years ago. It is said that he was extremely powerful, brave and good at fighting, and was the leader of the Qin Dynasty at that time.

The dynasty fought many victorious battles. However, King Wu of Qin was a bit competitive and died in an accident because of his impulsiveness and recklessness. Later generations criticized him and often used this allusion to warn his children. The Dog Emperor gave me such a title, I guess.

I hope that I will be as good at fighting as King Wu of Qin but short-lived, and become a sad and deplorable joke for the ages."

Yu Yalan frowned and was displeased when she heard this. She took her husband's big hand and persuaded: "How about returning the imperial edict? Such a title is too unreasonable! To issue an imperial edict to make a king, you still need to use some unscrupulous means.

Who cares about the failure of his reward?"

Her husband's safety and health are the most important thing to her. Anyone who dares to curse or spread rumors is challenging her bottom line.

Wu Zhongwen is really a white-eyed wolf who doesn't know what's good for him. We have to find an opportunity to teach him a shocking lesson in the future!

Song Xi felt that it didn't matter, and in turn comforted his little wife: "It's just a title, don't be upset about it, the future destiny is in our own hands, Wu Zhongwen has no ability to say anything. If my wife doesn't

If you like, let's change the title, the imperial edict is just a piece of waste paper to me."

Yu Yalan blinked her watery eyes and thought for a while, "Then... let's call them King Qin or King Wu for short? Just don't connect them together anyway."

Song Xi smiled and nodded, "Since I entered the world with martial arts, I will be called the King of Wu. Tomorrow I will have someone put up a notice to announce the news of the title of King."

As for the reaction from Jinling, the couple doesn't care.

"By the way, is everything going well with Cheng Feihu? I don't seem to have heard much from him recently?"

The day after Liang Ji and his daughter were imprisoned, Cheng Feihu returned to Anton on Song Xi's order.

They were accompanied by 50,000 soldiers of the Song family army and two Shenwu cannons, in order to take advantage of the weakness and capture Lin province.

The war went very smoothly, and news of victory came a week later. Cheng Feihu marched eastward with all his strength, intending to capture the remaining two provinces of Gusu and Songjiang.

Yu Yalan has been busy organizing the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner during this period, and has not been able to pay attention to the war situation in Northeast China in time.

Now that she had nothing to do, she asked about Cheng Feihu's combat progress.

Song Xi k

I can return to the capital and resume my life. I will release Liang Ji and his daughter in a few days, and An Yi and the others will be responsible for the rest."

The three northeastern provinces have been taken over by the Song family, and then it is time to make arrangements for the important areas in the south.
