Grace Yue's Silent Strength: The Pillar of Henry Yuan's Guar Chapter 187

Simon Yan sent a memorial to the capital by express horse, and soon received a response. As they expected, Emperor Zhaowu was furious at Ethan Feng's conditions. After discussing with the ministers, he also listened to Simon Yan's opinions in the memorial and agreed to clear the name of the Feng family, but did not say how to do it. He also agreed to hand Xie Zhongren over to Ethan Feng for disposal, but did not say when to hand him over, so that Simon Yan could continue to deal with Ethan Feng.

As for supporting Chahar and opening the horse market, Meng Duo and Zhu Lanting seconded the proposal in the court, and Zhao Fuyi also supported it. Just as Simon Yan had expected, it went very smoothly.

The imperial court will send the Left Vice Minister of Rites to the Chahar tribe to negotiate peace. It also plans to incorporate Datong and Qianzhou into one prefecture, led by a governor, and introduce farming and animal husbandry to Hetao to feed this dying fertile land.

In the past, Qianzhou only had a prefect but no governor, and Datong should have had a governor. However, after Richard Feng's death, the court deliberately suppressed Datong's old subordinates and did not appoint a governor. The separation of military and politics completely weakened the power of Feng's army. Now, Datong prefect Wang Anke is the most natural candidate for governor of Datong and Qianzhou.

Wang Anke was a very sensible person. He knew who was in the limelight in the court. After taking office, he first discussed with Simon Yan how to open the horse market and restore Hetao to its former prosperity.
