They brought along their people and filled the entire carriage with big and small bags. Waving their small leather whips, the group of people happily rushed home.
As soon as he left, Tian Hongyu collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon.
The servants in the manor were in a fluster. They stepped forward and helped Tian Hongyu to the chair in the hall with great difficulty.
Looking at the empty surroundings, Tian Hongyu felt as if he had been robbed by a disaster. He gritted his teeth, grabbed a teacup, and smashed it on the ground. He raised his head and roared,"What a sin! What a sin…"
"Master, isn't this Duke Ji too disrespectful?”
The housekeeper was indignant. When he recalled the scene just now, he broke out in a cold sweat.
"What do you know?"
Tian Hongyu had nowhere to vent his anger, so he said angrily,"Do you really think Jiang Feng did this? This was the Emperor's intention. Wei Zongxian and Jiang Feng were the blades that the Emperor wanted to use to eliminate the Donglin Party.”
"But this Jiang Feng…"
"Jiang Feng is much more powerful than Wei Zongxian. He has the power that the Emperor has no choice but to rely on.”
Tian Hongyu gritted his teeth and stood up with his hands behind his back. He looked at the night sky and said faintly,"If the northwest, southwest, and northeast are not eliminated, the emperor won't dare to do anything to him!”
"In that case, wouldn't Jiang Feng be even more unscrupulous?”The butler was shocked.
"When the rabbit dies, the dog will be cooked. When the bird dies, the bow will be hidden." Tian Hongyu smiled coldly. His head would either die in the hands of the imperial court or be buried on the battlefield.”
"Master is wise."
The old butler flattered.

Chen Yuanyuan hummed a little tune, accompanied by the princess. The shy Chen Yuanyuan sat alone in the carriage with her eyes lowered. She had not said a word since she got on the carriage.
Like a treasure that had already been put in his pocket, Jiang Feng was not in a hurry to play with it. He leisurely arrived at the door of his house.
He called Sun Deshuan and his servants and started moving the things.
There were antique vases, famous calligraphy and paintings. Today, a few residences had come down and the house was now filled with them.
These were all good things. Jiang Feng still had to keep them and auction them off when he returned to the future. He estimated that these were worth a few billion.
After returning to the residence, Zhang Yan had a tsundere expression on her face as she spoke a few words of anger. She did not linger any longer. It was getting late, so she brought Princess Changping back to the Imperial Palace.
Jiang Feng was too lazy to send them off. He was busy checking the antiques in the house. He happily opened the system and placed the antiques in the house into the casual factory. He would return when he had time.
After he was done, the servants in the kitchen prepared dinner and served it to the table. Jiang Feng acted like a master and called Chen Yuanyuan and Liu Ru over to start eating.
"My daughter, Chen Yuanyuan, greets Young Master…"
Chen Yuanyuan was slightly shy. She was wearing a purple dress and bowed slightly.
"There's no need to be so reserved. From today onwards, the two of you can eat at the same table as me.”
Jiang Feng waved his hand generously.
Liu Ru was very natural. She sat down slowly and glanced at Chen Yuanyuan.""Young Master sure has a big appetite. Could it be that he chose a maid for himself after arriving at a place?”
"If it wasn't for this young master, the two of you would have ended up on the streets sooner or later…"
"The imperial edict has arrived! Duke of Ji, Jiang Feng, come quickly to receive the decree…"
As they were chatting, a shout came from outside the door. Eunuch Wang Chengen came in with a golden cloth in one hand.
Jiang Feng was startled and suddenly had a bad premonition. He had no choice but to stand up to receive the edict.
" The Emperor of the Heavens decreed that Jiang Feng, Duke of Ji, has the ability to govern the world. He is a good minister that is hard to come by. In one day, he will help me eliminate the rebels in the court and help the government. He will make a great contribution. However, now the national treasury is empty and the people are destitute. Therefore, I have decided to give Jiang Feng, the Duke of Ji, five million taels of silver and hundreds of thousands of loads of grain. He will go to the northwest to relieve the disaster and quell the rebellion. There must be no mistakes. I…"
"F * ck!"
Before the imperial edict could be finished, Jiang Feng's eyes instantly widened, and thousands of curses ran through his heart.
Chongzhen, this bastard, didn't play by the rules!
"Duke Ji, I have to congratulate you.”
Wang Chengen, this old thing, also had an evil smile on his face. He held the imperial edict with both hands and handed it over."Now, the emperor has handed the northwest of the Ming Dynasty to you. Don't disappoint the emperor."
"Eunuch Wang, did His Majesty make a mistake?”
Jiang Feng wasn't willing to do it. Damn it, this was asking him to PK with Li Zicheng. Wasn't this a scam?
"Duke Ji is now second only to one person and above tens of thousands of people. The Emperor has written a letter and sent it to the Northwest Military Governor Yang Sichang. Soon, Sun Chuanting, Yang Sichang, Xiong Wencan, and the others would receive the imperial edict and await the arrival of Duke Ji.”
Wang Chengen's face looked like he was asking for a beating. He wanted Jiang Feng to kick him a few times. He gritted his teeth and said,""Can I not go?"
"Is State Duke Ji going to defy the imperial edict?"
"You can go too. However, I want to see the emperor. If the emperor doesn't agree to a few conditions, I won't go even if I die…"
Jiang Feng handed the imperial edict to the butler. He looked stubborn and would rather die than submit.
"Hahaha…"
Wang Chengen raised his head and laughed. He had been sent to Shandong by His Majesty to resolve the plague. His Majesty was also carrying out Duke Ji's plan.”
"That's not it."
Jiang Feng shook his head and carelessly dropped a cigarette."Eunuch Wang, go back and report to the Emperor. If I quell the rebellion in the northwest, His Majesty will marry Princess Changping to me…"
"You…"
Upon hearing this, Wang Chengen was shocked.""Jiang Feng, you're courting death!"
Jiang Feng said frankly,"It doesn't matter. I'm a commoner all by myself. What's there to be afraid of? I haven't even asked Your Majesty to betroth Empress Yi 'an to me.”
"Jiang Feng…"
Wang Chengen's neck shrank, and he stretched out his finger in anger.""You…You…"
"I'll have to trouble Eunuch Wang to convey these words. Take care, Eunuch Wang!"
After saying that, Jiang Feng turned around and left without looking back.
