Chapter 312 - Terrible News and Murder Plot

Nie Wushang was someone who worked for the imperial court, his main purpose here was to announce the imperial edict. Remember, the troubles Zhou Bao had stirred up in the northwest had already garnered into the imperial court's notice. In addition, he had robbed Xining King's Eldest Son, Yan Fei, of his Pure Yang Celestial Device, which indirectly humiliated the imperial court. Of course, the imperial court would not pass these incidents over in total silence. However, none of those things were embodied in the imperial edict. The main idea of the edict was to soothe Zhou Bao with compliments about how good a lord he had been and what an excellent example he had set for other newly enfeoffed lords, as well as to encourage him to make persistent efforts for the flourishing of the Great Jin. In the end, it even awarded 1,000 taels of gold to Zhou Bao, as well as a nominal title of General.
