Chapter 361 Taking advantage of the situation?

"Even the Great Snow Mountain of the Secret Sect has fully turned to Daxuan. It is a foregone conclusion that Daxuan will take over Beiyuan. I just never thought that the court would be so generous and directly grant the land after expanding the territory!"

Fang Xun was slightly moved, but Tie Wuxin said with a smile.

“Although this matter has not been officially announced, it is no longer a secret. However, it will be known to the world in three months at most.

In this Northern Expedition, not only the imperial court sent out a large army, but other aristocratic families and martial arts sects, as long as they were interested in establishing fiefdoms, would also send a large number of experts to accompany the army.

Now many forces have received news, especially Thirty-Six, and have sent people to the capital to discuss the matter.

How much fiefdom you can get depends on how much effort you can put in and how much merit you can achieve. If you are interested, you can prepare in advance."

Yu Jiaolong's eyes moved after hearing this, but immediately a trace of regret flashed in her eyes.

"Unfortunately, just cleaning up the mess in Lingzhou, Jiangnan, has left the palace stretched to the limit. It is really hard to spare the extra manpower to join the Northern Expedition."

She was indeed moved for a moment just now, but she still expressed that she had no intention of joining the Northern Expedition.

The main reason is that Jiangnan is too far away from Beiyuan. Even if he can get the fiefdom this time, it will be an enclave, which is very troublesome to manage.

Moreover, although the Northern Plains is vast, it is mostly cold and harsh, and there are not many good places with lush grass and water.

The fertile land of Lingzhou is more than enough for the Prince of Yue to live off, so the fiefdom of Beiyuan is not that attractive.

Tie Wuxin also understood her thoughts. He was not surprised after hearing it. He just nodded in understanding.

"That's right. There are still large tracts of fertile land in Jiangnan waiting for you to develop. There is really no need to spend so much energy on the barren land in Beiyuan."

Of course, the imperial court was not really pretending to be generous. After expanding the territory, they did not keep the land for themselves, but instead distributed a large amount of land to others?
The site is too large, which increases the burden of management and operation. The most important reason is that the cost of land development in Beiyuan is too high.

It would be better to divide it up and let the people develop it on their own, then sit at home and do nothing and collect a lot of taxes and tributes, wouldn't that be great?
After chatting for a while, Tie Wuxin slowly stood up and said.

"I'm relieved to see that you are doing well, Zhaoning girl. I've been busy lately and the Six Gates have a lot of official duties. I can't leave for long, so I'll take my leave first."

Yu Jiaolong and Fang Xun also quickly stood up to see them off.

"No, Uncle Tie is very busy with official duties, and he can't compare to the two of us who are free. When Uncle Tie has some free time, he will definitely set up a banquet and prepare a bed for us."

The three of them chatted and laughed all the way, and soon Tie Wuxin was sent out of the mansion by Fang Xun and Yu Jiaolong.

Before leaving, Tie Wuxin suddenly spoke to the two of them earnestly.

"You are new to the capital, and you may run into troubles because you are unfamiliar with the place. If you have any problems, just tell me. In the capital, I, the chief constable of the Six Gates, have some face."

"Thank you for your concern, uncle!"

After saying this last sentence, Tie Wuxin left straight away, and soon his figure disappeared at the end of the long street.

This scene was also seen by many people outside the palace, and they had different thoughts at the same time.

Fang Xun and Yu Jiaolong ignored everyone else. After seeing Tie Wuxin off, they turned around and went back home.

"Uncle Tie's coming here has saved us a lot of trouble."

After returning to the mansion, Yu Jiaolong said to Fang Xun with emotion.

Fang Xun nodded upon hearing this.

"I guess it was the incident involving the Ghost-Faced Man that dragged me into the internal struggles of the court." Tie Wuxin took out a moment of free time from his busy schedule to come to the mansion, and deliberately said those words before leaving, for the people sent by the other families at the door to hear.

No matter what, now that the Yuewang Mansion is declining in numbers and only has the two of them holding on, it's easy for people to feel that they're easy to bully.

But Tie Wuxin's visit made many people realize that although there was only a young girl and a young boy left to carry out the main responsibility of the Prince of Yue's Mansion, their previous connections were still there and they were not isolated and helpless.

When others heard this, they would think about how to treat the Prince of Yue's Mansion in the future, which would invisibly reduce a lot of trouble for Fang Xun and Yu Jiaolong.

In Beijing, you can keep a low profile, but you must make others realize that you are not someone to be trifled with, otherwise you will get into a lot of trouble.

Why would anyone in the court oppose the emperor's reward to Fang Xun?

It's because he has no background and the Yue Palace is declining in number, so if he's offended, he's offended, and he doesn't worry about revenge at all.

Even Fang Xun felt that he just happened to be caught up in some struggles in the court, and his name was just prominent, so it happened to be used as an excuse for others to make trouble.

"Haha, when I go to court tomorrow, I'll see who thinks I'm easy to bully!"

The two chatted all the way, and before long, Old Wu appeared in front of them and asked Yu Jiaolong for instructions.

"Your Highness, how should I respond to the invitations from the princes?"

Yu Jiaolong thought for a moment, then immediately said, "Just say that I have accepted Anle Hou's invitation for tomorrow and I have rejected it!"

"Okay, Your Highness."

After getting the reply, Old Wu left in a hurry, while Fang Xun and Yu Jiaolong walked around the mansion and began to familiarize themselves with it.

I finally have some peace and quiet. I will be living in the capital for some time, so I have to get familiar with my home first.

The news that the King of Yue and her husband had arrived in the capital soon spread to all parties.

Fang Xun didn't know what they were thinking and he didn't bother to care. He was just a passer-by in the capital and didn't want to be involved in any vortex of fighting.

In the capital, there are countless factions and circles of all sizes, including the royal family, the Six Gates, the military, civil officials, princes, and underworld forces, and the situation is extremely complicated.

Now, countless eyes were fixed on him. Although Tie Wuxin could save them from a lot of trouble, he would still get into trouble if he was not careful in his words and actions.

And then, within less than an hour, some more guests arrived at the mansion.

They were several eunuchs from the palace. Just as Tie Wuxin said, not long after, someone from the palace came and ordered Fang Xun to appear before the emperor the next day.

"My dear, I'm afraid someone will use the incident between you and the ghost-faced man as an excuse to make a fuss when we attend court tomorrow."

After seeing off the visitor from the palace, Yu Jiaolong's expression became serious, but Fang Xun said with a smile.

"I know. I will talk less and you can talk more. I'm afraid it won't be good if I talk too much. It's better for you, a member of the Wan family, to do the talking."

After that, the couple continued to walk around the mansion, and Old Wu followed them, constantly talking about the layout of the capital.

The sun sets and rises, and time unknowingly arrives at the next morning.

Early in the morning, Fang Xun and Yu Jiaolong went out and walked towards the palace.
