First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 293 Forcing You to Hand Over the Imperial Edict

After listening to Zheng Wenxiu's words, Cui Yushan felt that it made a lot of sense.

Officials always have their own little tricks up their sleeves. He just doesn't believe that Wei Ling, who controls everything in Mangcheng, doesn't have any selfish motives and can handle all problems perfectly?

So the next day Cui Yushan asked someone to go to the military camp to retrieve some files.

Those files were all about iron ore smuggling and the Nangong family.

After receiving this news, Xie Yingfeng couldn't help but laugh.

"Look, you can't sit still anymore!" He said to Wei Ling with a smile while holding Cui Yushan's warrant, "I'm warning you!"

Wei Ling had just returned from the training ground. He simply wiped his face and was slowly wiping his sword. "Really? Ask him to come and get it himself!" He raised his eyes and looked at Xie Yingfeng. "Just go and say this. I'll see if he dares to come."

"Okay!" Xie Yingfeng knew that Wei Ling was up to something bad, so he smiled. He didn't delay and went out directly through the curtain. Not long after, Cui Yushan got the news.

In Li Garden, Cui Yushan was very angry with Wei Ling.

"This guy really doesn't take me seriously!" Cui Yushan couldn't help but smash a tea bowl and shouted, "How can you be so shameless that you want me to go and get it myself?"

Zheng Wenxiu glanced at the somewhat irritable Cui Yushan, ordered someone to clean up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and then replaced his cup of tea. Then she said, "You are testing him, and he is also testing you! It's normal. There's no need to be so angry!"

"Madam, should I go or not?" Cui Yushan knew that he was a little out of control because of anger. He lifted his clothes and sat down, looking at Zheng Wenxiu eagerly and said.

"In terms of official rank, he is indeed higher than you, but you are an imperial envoy!" Zheng Wenxiu said with a smile, "You were sent by Dongdu, and you have the emperor's order. Do you want to go?"

"Then I won't go!" Cui Yushan sat up straight and said when he heard it.

"No, you have to go! You take the guards and the imperial edict and go directly to the military camp. I don't think Wei Ling dares to stop you again!" Zheng Wenxiu said with a smile, "If he is still so stubborn under the imperial edict, I'm afraid he will report this matter to His Majesty in Dongdu!"

"That's right!" Cui Yushan straightened his back upon hearing this!

In terms of official position, he only held the status of a minor Hanlin, a minor official of the sixth rank, while Wei Ling's rank of military general was within the third rank.

He could not be higher in rank than Wei Ling in any way, but he was an imperial envoy, carrying the imperial edict.

"I'll go to Wei Ling to get the files now!" He stood up to change his clothes, and Zheng Wenxiu asked someone to change Cui Yushan into official uniform.

There were more than a hundred guards he brought with him from Dongdu. In order to avoid looking lacking in momentum, he simply gathered all the guards together and had them follow him to the military camp in Mangcheng.

"Who are you coming?" He was stopped by the guards just as he arrived at the gate of the military camp. The guards didn't care whether he was an imperial envoy or not and asked directly.

"Imperial Envoy of the Eastern Capital!" Cui Yushan sat on his horse, looking down at the guards at the gate, "Bring the imperial edict with you. Seeing the imperial edict is like seeing His Majesty in person. Please ask the general of the Weiling Guard to welcome you in person!"

When the guard at the gate saw the imperial edict in his hand, he did not dare to hesitate any longer and went to report immediately.

"Here we go!" Xie Yingfeng said with a smile, "How about we go out now?"

"Prepare the incense table and go to receive the order." Wei Ling stood up. He had not changed his armor when he came back from the parade ground, but he did not need to change his clothes.

"He came to ask for the files!" Xie Yingfeng reminded him. After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but chuckled, "I know! You are such a bad guy! You want to defeat him! Not only can he not take the files, but he also has to keep the imperial edict that conferred you the title of nobility!"

"I'm glad you guessed it. Why don't you do it quickly?" Wei Ling glanced at Xie Yingfeng with a smile.

He fought hard to get the title of Marquis. The title of Marquis of Purple Robe had already been awarded, but he still hadn't received it.

It’s not that he must have the title of Marquis, but what belongs to him should be his, and no one else can take it away!

Cui Yushan was originally an imperial envoy who came to issue an imperial decree, and he stayed to rebuild a foundry. But he put the cart before the horse! He insisted on interfering in the affairs of Mangcheng! Relying on his status as an imperial envoy, Wei Ling wanted to see what other imperial envoys he could use to suppress him after he issued the imperial decree!

In Mangcheng, he has the final say!

Cui Yushan stood at the door for a long time holding the imperial edict, only to see that the middle door of the military camp was wide open and someone was busy setting up the incense table and other items.

He looked a little dazed!

"Where is your general?" He couldn't help asking when he saw that the incense table was set up.

"Here I come!" Wei Ling rode out slowly and looked at Cui Yushan. "Hello, the Imperial Envoy. It has been almost twenty days since I welcomed you into Mangcheng at the city gate! You are so patient that you only come today to read the imperial edict."

Cui Yushan's face froze and he glanced at the imperial edict in his hand. No, he was not here to issue an imperial edict!

He came to enter the military camp relying on the imperial edict!

Wei Ling got off his horse, straightened his armor, and then clasped his fists, "The loyal, brave and mighty general in front of the palace, the third-rank commander of the Black Tiger Army, Wei Ling, respectfully welcomes the imperial edict!" As he clasped his fists, the many soldiers of the Black Tiger Guard immediately spread out their formation behind him, and spread out in front of Cui Yushan in a black mass. All of them were dressed neatly, stood behind Wei Ling in unison, and saluted together with their fists.

"What?" Cui Yushan was even more dumbfounded. Was he going to accept the order by force?

"What's wrong, Your Excellency the Imperial Envoy?" Wei Ling raised his eyes and said with a smile, "Didn't you hear it clearly?" He raised his voice and repeated what he had just said.

Cui Yushan was really stunned this time.

Judging from the situation, Wei Ling is really prepared to accept the order by force!

Cui Yushan knew in his heart that as long as he held the imperial edict in his hands and did not issue it, he would be the angel official from Dongdu. If the imperial edict was issued, he would have to give up his identity as an imperial envoy and become the head of the Foundry, which would be no more than a sixth-rank official!

But the black tiger guards in front of him had already deployed their troops. Their black armor flashed a dim light in the sun, and the spears and flags in their hands fluttered in front of him, making it almost impossible to see the end of them at a glance.

The one hundred guards behind him seemed nothing in front of such a regular army...

It's a completely overwhelming crushing momentum!

Even if he wants to leave this time, I'm afraid he can't!

After all, he came out holding the imperial edict. If he wanted to ask Wei Ling for the files now, he wouldn't dare to say it out loud...
