As Ban Bu knelt down, the rest of the Beihan delegation followed suit.
No matter how unwilling they were, they had to kneel now.
If they reneged on their word, there would be no further discussion about obtaining grain.
Seeing the Beihan people kneeling on the ground, Emperor Wen couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Five years!
The Beihan State Master, who nearly captured him five years ago, ultimately kneeled before him!
This was a way to vent the resentment from five years ago!
Most importantly, they had reclaimed the lost territory!
Even if he died, he could face his ancestors with pride!
Future historians would no longer call him the emperor who lost territory!
Emperor Wen's heart swelled with emotion. He deliberately delayed for a moment before slowly raising his hand and saying, "Ambassadors, rise! Guards, bring chairs!"
"Thank the Great Dry Emperor!"
The Beihan people slowly stood up, none of them looking particularly pleased.
Ban Bu, in particular, shot a fierce glance at Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng rolled his eyes and cursed inwardly, "Old dog."
Sooner or later, I'll destroy your Beihan!
See if you dare to glare at me again!
As the Beihan delegation sat down, Emperor Wen, in a great mood, immediately ordered wine and dishes to be brought.
With today's good news, the atmosphere of the banquet was different.
The Beihan people wore gloomy expressions, while the people of the Great Dry were exceptionally joyful.
Even some members of the Third Prince's faction joined in the celebration.
Reclaiming the lost territory was a cause for joy for anyone who wasn't a traitor.
Halfway through the banquet, many people came to toast Yun Zheng, especially those from the pro-war faction.
Regardless of how useless Yun Zheng had been in the past, today he was undoubtedly a hero of the Great Dry!
After the banquet, Yun Zheng thought Emperor Wen would summon him, but unexpectedly, Emperor Wen was so happy that he accidentally drank himself into a stupor and was quickly escorted back to his chambers to rest.
Yun Zheng was glad no one summoned him. Without lingering, he quickly left with Shen Luoyan.
Exiting the palace, Yun Zheng offered to escort Shen Luoyan home.
Of course, his main purpose was to meet her second sister-in-law Ye Zi.
Watching Yun Zheng's carriage disappear, Yun Li's face turned grim.
Having loaned Yun Zheng more than ten thousand silver tickets and watching him steal the limelight, he was full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
This useless person, in just a few days, became so capable?
Turned into a hero who reclaimed lost territory?
Anyone could guess that this useless person would receive generous rewards.
Reclaiming lost territory!
That's a feat worthy of historical records!
And accomplished without shedding a single drop of blood!
