Chapter 25 The Fore, Prince

On this day, in the Mingde Hall, Xiao Yu talked and laughed with Jing Minghou, Bai Wenxuan and others as usual, waiting for the arrival of the Ming King.

Dang!

With a shocking bell, King Ming walked into the Mingde Hall.

When saluteing, Xiao Yu and others saw the happy face of the King of Ming. Obviously, there was another good news.

Sure enough, after sitting down, the King of Ming made Chen Lin read the good news.

Over the past year, most of the good news that has come to Mingdu have come from the waters of Hongjiang; this time, the good news has come from Biyun County in the northeast and south.

In the northeast, Hu Yanping, the general of Yanmen County, and Yao Sheng, the general of Tianhe County, surrendered at the same time. Huangfu Lifeng pressed his troops to the edge of Luonan County. Du Yan, Hu Yanping and Yao Sheng were discussing to attack Changling County. It is believed that within two or three months, Sima Li's forces will all retreat to Jiaozhou, Zhezhou County and Fuhai County.

At that time, as long as Huangfu Lifeng can unite with Du Yan and others to beat Jiaozhou County, and Xiang Yuanxing can lead the southern army to Zhezhou County, then Sima Li will only have one county like Yang Shang.

Yang Shang chose to surrender to the Ming Dynasty at this time. At that time, Sima was afraid that he would not surrender like Yang Shang.

Hearing such good news, all the civil servants and generals in the hall were also happy.

After Yan Wuya defeated the Long family in the waters of the Hongjiang River, the king of the Ming Dynasty really began to show the momentum of calming the world; now, the unification of the king of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be a forgable.

Among the Chinese ministers and generals in the Mingde Hall, there are only two or three flattering people, but at this time, the literary ministers and generals in the hall have said a lot of flattery to the King Ming.

After the court discussion, the King of Ming held a grand celebration banquet in the Mingde Palace.

There is really a good sign of unification in the world, and Xiao Yu is naturally very happy.

With a lot of wine, Xiao Yu returned to Xiao's house.

With wine, Xiao Yu and Li Linxiang began to play. Li Linxiang didn't want to disturb his nature, so she let Zhu Xin go down to rest. She accompanied Xiao Yu to make trouble by herself.

After playing for a while, Xiao Yu suddenly grabbed Li Linxiang's hand and said with a serious face, "At most a year or two, or seven or eight months, the world will definitely be unified. When the world is unified, let's leave Mingdu!"

"Leave Mingdu?"

"Don't you want to live in seclusion with me?"

Seeing Li Linxiang's hesitation, Xiao Yu's wine suddenly woke up most of the time.

"It's not that I don't want to live in seclusion with my husband, it's just..."

Li Linxiang has no ambition for power, but if she and Xiao Yu live in seclusion in the mountains, then she will definitely give up her previous life and separate from the King of Ming and other relatives, which is what she does not want. Moreover, she doesn't want Xiao Yu to hope that Xiao Lin will live a plain life in the future. She is more inclined to let Xiao Lin choose for herself in the future.

In addition, now she feels that their life is very comfortable now. Suddenly, she heard Xiao Yu mention that she wanted to live in seclusion in the mountains, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing a thin layer of thin men appeared on Li Linxiang's anxious face, Xiao Yu sighed and whispered, "It's too early to say this. Let's not talk about it. It's getting late. Take a break!"

"Uh-huh!"

Li Linxiang answered softly. When Xiao Yu stood up, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Owning one thing often means giving up another thing.

Xiao Yu does not have much desire for power, but she does not resist power. However, if she has power, she must deal with all kinds of intrigues, and she must give up comfort and peace.

Now, most of the thoughts of the king of the Ming and the civil servants and military generals of the King of the Ming are focused on unifying the world. Therefore, Xiao Yu has been very calm this year. However, when the world is unified, Xiao Yu and the King of Ming and some civil servants and generals will inevitably have friction because of various interests.

Since ancient times, most of the ministers who opened the dynasty wanted to live a comfortable life with a different identity, and Xiao Yu was no exception.

"Put aside right and wrong, I think the mind of living in seclusion is the same as those people in the green forest who wash their hands?"

Xiao Yu thought nonsense for a while and realized that Li Linxiang was also thinking about things, so she reached out and hugged Li Linxiang and whispered, "It hurts me to think too much. Go to sleep!"

"Uh-huh!"

He answered softly, and Li Linxiang leaned against Xiao Yu's arms and fell asleep soon.

Almost a month and a half later, Yang Shang came to Mingdu with his eldest son Yang Kaishun and 2,000 members of the Yang clan.

Even if Yang Shang was once one of the three kings of the world, when he surrendered to the Ming king, he would also send some relatives to Mingdu to show his sincerity.

King Ming showed enough respect for Yang Shang.

Huangfu Lifeng and Xiang Yuanxing are not in the general's mansion. Xiao Yu, the general, is the head of the general. Among the literary ministers, Bai Wenxuan's prestige at this time is a little higher than that of the Marquis Jingming, which can be regarded as the head of the literary minister.

It was Xiao Yu and Bai Wenxuan who accompanied Li Linchang to meet Yang Shang at the gate of Nancheng.

Before Yang Shang and his party walked to the gate, Li Linchang, Xiao Yu and Bai Wenxuan took people to answer.

After the two teams came into contact, when Yang Shang and others disoed, Li Linchang and the other three also jumped off the horse.

"My little nephew has met my uncle!"

Hearing Li Linchang's name for Yang Shang, Xiao Yu and Bai Wenxuan were slightly stunned and looked at each other. They all felt that it was very appropriate for Li Linchang to call Yang Shang as Uncle Shi.

Li Linchang called Yang Shang and Uncle Shi, but Yang Shang did not claim to be Uncle Shi.

"I've seen Your Highness!"

Yang Shang returned a salute to Li Linchang and said to Xiao Yu, "General Xiao, let's meet again."

Xiao Yu didn't know what to call Yang Shang, so she didn't answer, but just returned a bow.

After seeing the ceremony with Xiao Yu, Yang Shang turned his eyes to Bai Wenxuan.

"This is Bai Taixue, right?"

Bai Wenxuan nodded, bowed his hand, and smiled, "Wenxuan has met General Yang!"

"Bai Taixue is very polite!"

He replied with a smile, and Yang Shang called Yang Kaishun to his side and motioned him to salute Li Linchang and others.

I don't know if he feels a little inferior because of his hostage identity. Compared with Yang Kaiyun, whom Xiao Yu met at the beginning, Yang Kaishun was obviously a little restrained.

Song Tianjiao also followed Yang Shang to Mingdu this time. However, Yang Shang did not let her come and talk to Li Linchang and others, and Xiao Yu just nodded to her.

After a few polite words, everyone entered the famous capital together and walked to the palace.

After all, Yang Shang came to surrender. Although the King of Ming asked Xiao Yu, Bai Wenxuan and Li Linchang to meet him at the gate, he did not greet him at the gate of the palace.

At the door of the inner palace, Yang Shang, Yang Kaishun and Li Linchang entered the inner palace, while Song Tianjiao stayed outside with the Yang clan.

Entering the Mingde Palace, Yang Shang took Yang Kaishun to kneel down to the King of Ming and behaved very respectfully.

Yang Shang was very respectful, and the King of Ming also showed enough respect. He came down from the throne and personally helped Yang Shang and his son up.

He motioned the bodyguard to bring a chair. The king of Ming asked Yang Shang to sit down, and then returned to the throne.

As soon as he finished on the throne, the king of Ming motioned Chen Lin to read two imperial edicts to seal Yang Shang and his son.

In addition to the title of Tiannan Marquis, the King of Ming also named Yang Shang as the supreme general, and Yang Kaishun was awarded the title of general.

Yang Shang used to be the king of one party. Whether he was awarded the title of marquis or general, his status was obviously reduced a lot. However, he did not dare to show any loneliness. He knelt down to thank him and received the edict.

After the reward, the king of Ming then gave the marriage and promised one of his daughters to Yang Kaishun.

After the civil servants and generals in the hall said a happy word, the king of the Ming asked Chen Lin to read a new edict and made Yan Wuya a general.

In fact, when Yan Wuya defeated the Long family, his combat achievements were enough to be awarded the title of general, but the King of Ming had never issued an edict.

At this time, the king of the Ming Dynasty made Yan Wuya a general, which was naturally intended to deter Yang Shang.

Hearing that King Ming made Yan Wuya a general, everyone in the hall looked at Li Linchang as if they had nothing.

Just as everyone guessed when the king of the Ming Dynasty would make Li Linchang the crown prince, the king of the Ming motioned Chen Lin to read another edict, which was the edict to make Li Linchang the crown prince.

The dream of many years has come true. Even if Li Linchang is calm, he is still happy at this time.

Compared with the two generals, the canonization of Li Linchang as the crown prince is obviously more important. Therefore, a reception banquet for Yang Shang turned into a congratulatory banquet to congratulate Li Linchang.

After the banquet, the King of Ming left Yang Shang and his son in the palace, and Yang Shang's family was handed over to Li Linchang for arrangement.

When he resigned from the King of Ming, Xiao Yu asked the King of Ming to take Song Tianjiao to live in his own house. Xiao Yu rarely begged the Ming King. No matter what the Ming King thought in his heart, he answered with a smile.

Out of the inner palace, Xiao Yu called Song Tianjiao and left the palace with a pair of bodyguards.

On the way, Xiao Yu first asked Song Tianjiao about her practice. Seeing that she looked like she wanted to say something, she said with a smile, "You, my brother and my sister, what else can't be said directly?"

Song Tianjiao nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "My mother asked me to come to Mingdu with them. I want you to take more care of the Yang family for my face."

"That's it?"

Seeing Song Tianjiao nodding, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Your mother thinks too much. Your Majesty will not let people bully the Yang family."

After thinking about it, Xiao Yu said again, "When General Yang leaves Mingdu, I will take Yang Kaishun to visit the homes of the dignitaries in Mingdu and try to help them adapt to the life of Mingdu as soon as possible."

"Thank you, brother!"

"Don't be rude!"

He replied with a smile, and Xiao Yu asked, "Are you in a hurry to go back to Hainan?"

"No hurry, she didn't tell me when to go back."

Xiao Yu nodded, thought for a moment, and muttered, "Since you are not in a hurry to go back, you can stay in Mingdu for a while. During this period, if you have any questions about your practice, just come and ask me.

"Uh-huh!"

Song Tianjiao and Li Linxiang have met before. When they returned to Xiao's house, Xiao Yu did not have to introduce them to each other.

After Yang Shang left Mingdu, Xiao Yu took Yang Kaishun to the homes of various powerful people in Mingdu. As Xiao Yu said, those powerful people in Mingdu made trouble for Yang Kaishun because he was a hostage. Xiao Yu took Yang Kaishun to visit those dignitaries, and the purpose was just to let Song Tianjiao give an explanation to her mother.
