"Jiang Feng, how dare you…"
Chongzhen was furious. Without thinking, he turned around and said angrily,"Men, capture this traitor who spread heresy and send him out of the city. Immediately interrogate…"
"Your Majesty…"
Before he could say the last word, Zhang Yan walked out quickly with both hands bowed."State affairs are of utmost importance. Why don't you listen to why Jiang Feng only brought me along?”As he spoke, his gaze slowly turned to Jiang Feng, his eyes filled with hatred and anger.
"Reporting to the emperor, the place where the grain is stored is the hometown of the empress, Henan Kaifeng Prefecture!”
Jiang Feng was really spouting nonsense. The current problem was to quickly return to the future, and it would be best if he could bring an empress with him.
"In that case, zhen will send someone to follow you. Why do you need to bring Empress Yi 'an?”
Chongzhen was just like his ancestor. He was very suspicious and did not have a good expression.
Jiang Feng was calm, as if he was going to bring her along."Your Majesty, Empress Yi 'an's father, Lord Zhang, has also expressed that he misses the Empress. That's why I dare to be bold…"
"Jiang Feng, do you know the crime of deceiving the sovereign…"
"Your Majesty!"
Zhang Yan seemed to be too lazy to dwell on this issue. She was more aware of the big picture than Chongzhen. She bowed slightly and said,"The journey to Henan is far. Since I'm working for the Imperial Court, there's no harm for me to go. Jiang Feng also has the ability to govern the world. I hope Your Majesty will put the overall situation first.”
Chong Zhen clasped his hands behind his back and hesitated.
The Zhu family didn't like arrogant people. He really wanted to kill Jiang Feng, but compared to the vicious officials of the Donglin Party, Jiang Feng was at least on the surface.
Although he was annoyed, the bags of grain were placed here. Chongzhen had to be careful.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble Imperial Sister-in-law.”
Chongzhen was not convinced, but he had no choice. He glared at Jiang Feng and said,"Pass down the decree. Tomorrow morning, send 50 Embroidered Uniform Guards to protect Empress Yi 'an and follow Jiang Feng to Henan to retrieve the food.”
"Understood!"
The sword-bearing guard quickly cupped his fists and knelt down to receive the decree.
It was already late at night. Zhang Yan left the Palace of Heavenly Purity surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs. Before she left, she subconsciously glanced at Jiang Feng, as if she was still recalling the incident where she was seen naked while bathing.
Jiang Feng's sleeping place was simply a mess. The eunuch had randomly made a room for him.
He didn't plan to go back empty-handed. He used the lighter he had on him to exchange for some antique bottles for the eunuchs in the palace. If he could return to the future tomorrow, these things would be very valuable.
Chongzhen couldn't sleep at all that night. He sat in the royal study, staring at the pile of grain, generators, and water pump in a daze. From time to time, he asked Wang Chengen.
This foolish emperor who knew nothing about technology had been racking his brains for another night. He was not confident.
The next day.
The sky was bright. After dinner, thirty to fifty Brocade Guards rode on tall horses and two carriages. Empress Yi 'an, Zhang Yan, rode in one, and the palace maids served her.
Jiang Feng had his own carriage. The person driving the carriage was a young eunuch. He probably hadn't washed his pants properly and was covered in a stench.
The car left the imperial palace and drove along the main road of the capital city. Jiang Feng looked at the capital of the Ming Dynasty along the way. It was really poor.
On both sides of the street, there were heavy wooden buildings. The thick city walls were thirty to fifty meters wide, and the tall city gates were like the gates of heaven. The Imperial Army guarded the gates and only allowed entry after verifying the token.
The signs of a subjugated nation were already evident in the capital. Jiang Feng didn't know if this place was really prosperous in the past, but it did seem desolate now.
The shops on the streets were cold, and the passers-by were like walking corpses. Everywhere looked lifeless.
This was probably the feeling of the common people not having anything to do.
After an hour of viewing, Jiang Feng felt that there was nothing interesting about it. He closed the curtain and sat in the carriage. He opened the space-time transfer station system.
"Hello, host. How can I help you?”
That familiar voice rang out, giving Jiang Feng a sense of security."You said that I have another chance to go back every month. Can I use it now?”
"Yes, host."
A faint shadow of a head appeared on the system interface."Host, are you going back now?"
"Yes, sir!"
" Alright, the system is about to open a return route for you. Host, please choose a space-time entrance…"
Immediately after, a map of the vicinity of the Great Bright Capital appeared on the system interface. There were a hundred locations that were used as the location for Jiang Feng to return to the future.
Jiang Feng chose a village fifty miles ahead.
The journey was very boring, and Jiang Feng felt drowsy several times. In a daze, the group stopped, and the young eunuch driving the carriage reminded Jiang Feng to come down and eat.
It was already close to noon, and the place where the group of people stopped happened to be the place Jiang Feng had chosen. They got off the carriage and followed the crowd into the inn.
The Brocade Guard was in charge of ordering the dishes. Each of them held an embroidered spring knife in their hands, as if they were afraid that others would not know that they were officials.
Zhang Yan entered the inn with the help of the palace maid. Just as she was about to take a seat, Jiang Feng came up to her and said,"Empress, please come with me…"
Zhang Yan was stunned and looked at him suspiciously.""What do you want?"
"Can this commoner harm the Empress? I naturally have something to show you…"
Jiang Feng was too lazy to waste his breath. He turned around and walked into the inn.
Zhang Yan looked around and thought for a moment. Thinking that this place was surrounded by the Jinyiwei, she was not too worried. She lifted her skirt and followed.
