"Zhuang's Trading Company saw through the rebels and defeated their plans, which is a great achievement."

"I will grant Zhuang Ming, the 13th Mr. Zhuang's Trading Company, the title of Holy Dragon True Monarch. He will occupy a first-grade position and be rewarded with thousands of taels of silver, thousands of pieces of silk and satin, and hundreds of jade beads."

——

Zhuang Ming sat on the chair, received the imperial edict, and said calmly: "Zhuang has inconvenience on his legs and feet. He cannot kneel to receive or greet you. It is rude."

After he finished speaking, he tilted his head slightly and said, "Reward."

Liu He nodded and took out ten taels of silver.

Zhuang Ming looked as usual and weighed the imperial edict.

To ordinary people, this imperial edict is as important as a mountain and should be treated with utmost respect.

But he regarded it as an ordinary letter and rolled it up.

The material of this imperial edict is not bad, it is made of fine silk, with jade as the shaft, on the back are auspicious clouds and auspicious cranes, and on both sides are silver dragons flying.

——

"Where is King Chen?"

Zhuang Ming put down the imperial edict and asked like this.

Liu He responded: "Still helping."

Zhuang Ming thought for a moment and asked, "Are you still awake?"

Liu He nodded and said: "He is in a trance, but not crazy yet."

Zhuang Ming pointed to the imperial edict and said, "Send the imperial edict to King Chen for review."
