An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1170 It's A Good Deal

Yun Shang had been reading in the hall for a long time. It was getting dark. Qian Zhuo walked in and

looked at the sky outside, "It's getting dark. Yesterday and today, I've asked the secret guards to pay

close attention to the situation in the Jin City. Except for some discussion yesterday resulted from the

two notices released by his majesty, everything seemed to be fine. The five men seemed to have

succeeded... " Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Yun Shang nodded and smiled, "They can stand out from the noble clans through the spies' selection

and appear in front of me. They must not be ordinary people. As long as they want, they can do it.

But let's wait a little longer." Yun Shang turned a page and said, "After all, it's not over yet."

Qian Zhuo blinked her eyes and said, "If there is nothing else happening outside today, will your

majesty really ask his majesty to appoint them as officials? But I think it is so quiet this time. The two

notices posted by his majesty may have played a greater role. "

Yun Shang smiled, "Maybe. However, I couldn't go back on my promise easily. Otherwise, I will lose my

reputation in their hearts.

Maybe this time we can get through the crisis safely, which has more to do with the announcement

issued by his majesty. But even if there is the notice, the several noble clans are not weak. They must

have found a way to deal with it, and they must have spent a lot of time and energy on it. Moreover,

these people do have some abilities. If they can be in the hands of his majesty and me, they will

definitely have more advantages than disadvantages. Anyway, I won't suffer any loss from this deal. "

Qian Zhuo tilted her head and thought for a moment. Then she nodded, "That's right. If these people

can really sit in the position of the head of the clan and be used by your Majesties in the future, it's

really a good deal to hold these big clans in our hands."

Yun Shang chuckled but said nothing. She put the book aside and said, "It seems late. Ask the kitchen

to prepare the dinner."

Qian Zhuo responded and left.

Soon, a voice came from outside, "Your majesty, Master Liu wants to see you."

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and looked at the sand clock. It was almost time for dinner. Why didn't

Luo Qingyan come, but Liu Wenan came alone?

"Come in."

Liu Wenan came in, bowed to Yun Shang and greeted, "Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?" Yun Shang asked.

"His majesty summoned several courtiers to hold a meeting in the Meeting Hall this afternoon. It's not

over yet. It's getting late, so his majesty asked me to tell you that he won't come for dinner tonight and

let your majesty have dinner first," Liu Wenan reported.

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, "Is dinner ready in the Taiji Palace?"

"I've sent someone to prepare the food in the imperial kitchen just now." Liu Wenan broke into a big

smile, "His Majesty has assured your majesty that if he doesn't have a good meal, he will allow me to

report it to you."

Yun Shang looked at Liu Wenan and said, "His Majesty is just fooling me. If he changes his mind later,

you won't dare to say anything."

Liu Wenan raised his hand in a hurry and said, "Don't worry, your majesty. I swear with my life that if his

majesty dares not to have a good meal from now on, even if his majesty says that he will cut off my

head, I will report it to you first. After all, even if his majesty says that he would chop off my head, I will

report it to you. And your majesty will definitely be able to save my life. Maybe you will be happy and

give me some rewards. It's not a bad deal. "

Amused by Liu Wenan, Yun Shang burst into laughter, "You have a good plan. Well, let's make a deal.

If you tell me the truth. I will reward you handsomely. "

"In that case, thank you very much, your majesty."

Liu Wenan bowed with a smile, and then took out five imperial edicts, "His Majesty said that they are

what your majesty wants. He asked me to bring them here for you by the way."

Seeing the five imperial edicts, Yun Shang knew what they were about. She nodded and ordered the

maid to take it.

"All right. His majesty needs your service. You can go back first."

Liu Wenan replied and left.

Yun Shang took the imperial edicts from the maid and unfolded them one by one.

Among the five people who she met yesterday morning, Luo Qingyan indeed gave each of them an

official post. Most of them got an official position above grade four, most of which had some power, but

not very important one.

Only Cao Han was arranged a position as a master of remonstrance, which could be considered to be

one with real power.

Luo Qingyan must have thought it over before giving these official positions. Yun Shang was also very

satisfied. She put the imperial edicts aside with a smile, and then ordered the maids to prepare food.

And she slowly stood up.

After dinner, Qian Zhuo reported, "Your majesty, Qian Yin sent me a message that the people from

another twenty noble clans have been arranged."

Then she handed over a paper and said, "It's divided into four times. This is schedule about the

meeting time, place and information of the people who come every time."

Yun Shang took it over, had a glance at it and threw it into the fire pot, "I see."

For the following three days, Yun Shang was busy meeting the people of these noble clans. After

meeting more than twenty people from the clans, she returned the imperial edicts of the first five clans

to Luo Qingyan. She asked Luo Qingyan to bestow some official positions on the other five clans, while

at the same time sending the related imperial edicts to the major clans.

"The imperial edicts have been sent to the five people respectively. I should find some time to meet

them and discuss what to do next. After this meeting, I'll arrange a secret regular spy for each of them.

I'd better not see them in person often so as not to expose myself, " Yun Shang said.

Luo Qingyan nodded, "Indeed, it should be rare. No matter what, these people are not very safe. I still

don't trust them, especially Cao Han."

Yun Shang smiled, "I know how to deal with it. I can protect myself."

"HMM..." Luo Qingyan didn't take it seriously. He didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he changed

the topic, "Liucang City and Liu Yinfeng have both sent messages."

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows, "What news?"

"The secret guards reported that the craftsmen of the Ministry of the Works did go to the Liucang City,

but they disappeared in less than two days. They investigated and found that they had left the city, but

they didn't know where they had gone after leaving the city. They guessed that someone had secretly

manipulated them," said Luo Qingyan.

Yun Shang narrowed her eyes and asked, "Where have they been?"

"The secret guards said so, but the news sent by Liu Yinfeng just solved this mystery.

"Liu Yinfeng said that when he went to the border of the state of Xia and the state of Yelang, he met

some strange people. He had met them in the Jin City, and they should be from the Ministry of work.

He wrote to ask me if I had sent something to the Ministry of work that needed to be hidden."
