"To be dispatched to Nanyue?" Emperor Yan looked at his brother in astonishment, quite surprised that he would propose such a suggestion.
Ah Jiu nodded and said, "Imperial Brother, Beiyan has just waged a northern expedition, and the national treasury is currently empty. Nanyue is wealthy, but the Nanyue Court is corrupt, and most of the court officials seek personal gain, which presents an opportunity. I wish to use the guise of doing business with Nanyue to open up a trade route to the Northwest. If successful, Beiyan's future... will certainly reap more benefits than drawbacks. In time, Beiyan is bound to unify Nanyue."
Emperor Yan felt a thrill in his heart.
No emperor does not desire to leave a lasting name and make a significant mark in their chronicles, and Emperor Yan was no exception. His ambition is sufficient, and if possible, he would want to invade Nanyue immediately. However, he also knew the timing was not right.
