Chapter 320 The New Emperor of Dongyi
The news that General Weiyuan had captured the Emperor of Dongyi spread like wildfire throughout the Great Zhou.
Jiang Hetang in the palace naturally also learned about this.
He stood up excitedly. It was really God's blessing that this big trouble was finally solved. My sister and her family would finally be returning to Beijing soon!
As I thought about it, tears couldn't help but flow out.
At this moment, Huan Ge'er, who had entered the imperial study with his hands behind his back and a stern face, stopped in his tracks and sighed. Alas, why was he still so fond of crying?
However, thinking that his sister would be back soon, the little guy finally smiled.
Minzhou, the government prison.
"Tsk, how dare the Emperor of Dongyi lie to me and fool me with a fake one!" Zhao Yunshan angrily threw the cup to the ground.
"Baga! Watasi is the Emperor of Dongyi! You are from the Great Zhou, you have never seen the world!"
"Emperor of Dongyi? How is that possible? How could he lead his troops to war in person!" Zhao Yunshan pretended to be incredulous. After all, he couldn't confirm whether the short and fat man with only a small tuft of beard in front of him was the Emperor of Dongyi.
"Watasi is the Emperor of Dongyi. If you don't believe me, ask the magistrate of Fuqiao County to come over! He knows me. He is the nail I planted in the Great Zhou!" The man was so angry that he jumped up and down, and couldn't help but drag his companion into the water.
"Oh, that's what I thought. He discovered the bandits causing trouble at sea, but was reluctant to report it. I see." Zhao Yunshan's sudden realization completely pleased the Dongyi Emperor in front of him.
"But..." He stopped mid-sentence.
There was no further news for a long time, but the word "but" kept repeating.
"You! What do you want to say? Are all the people in the Great Zhou so slow?" The Emperor of Dongyi was tied to a chair, otherwise he seemed to have roared to the sky.
"Oh, sorry, I was thinking that if the Emperor of Dongyi came here, Dongyi would be left with no one, and then you would be in chaos?" Zhao Yunshan looked like he was thinking seriously.
"Are you stupid? Watasi's son is still in Dongyi! With him around, there will be no chaos!" The Dongyi Emperor leaned back in his chair leisurely.
A light flashed in Zhao Yunshan's eyes. He must be talking about the Prince of Dongyi. Mingyue once said in her heart that the Prince of Dongyi had a habit of taking things for granted, so he must be a bad person.
All the necessary questions were asked and all the necessary information was extracted. Zhao Yunshan then ordered the defense to be strengthened and the key Dongyi captives to be kept under guard.
By the way, the magistrate of Fuqiao County was also imprisoned in the same place and had the jailer watch over him, while he also tried to gather some reliable information.
"The Dongyi originally thought that taking Minzhou would be a piece of cake, so they sent their fifty-year-old Dongyi Emperor to fight." Zhao Yunshan discussed with the others.
“Speaking of which, is the Emperor of Dongyi really like this…” The adult pointed to his head.
Everyone understood and sneered, "How is that possible? Unless the Dongyi people have no one worth mentioning. Otherwise, how can someone like him become the emperor? Why not just pack up and let us take over?"
The men discussed it for an entire afternoon but came to no conclusion, so they handed the decision to Zhao Yunshan.
A few days later, Zhao Yunshan decided to personally bring the people to the capital. He also promoted several soldiers who had followed him through thick and thin, and entrusted Minzhou to them.
Mingyue and her family started their journey back to Beijing...
On the day of departure, the people of Minzhou lined the streets to see him off, with tears in their eyes, expressing their reluctance to leave.
Mingyue looked at the streets and alleys of Minzhou, where she had only lived for a few months, and tears fell unconsciously. Why did she feel reluctant to leave?
Say goodbye to Lan Yu'er and Lan Jinlin, say goodbye to the old ladies in the small fishing village, say goodbye to Shen Ru and Ma Yang...
They also received good news: the owner of the pawnshop that Yu Youyou had given her came to report that his wife was finally pregnant! Mingyue's family couldn't wait for the baby to be born, so they cooked some red eggs in advance and asked them to eat them in advance.
Mingyue liked this homely custom very much and ate it all the way.
When we arrived in Hangzhou, we took Mingyang with us.
In front of Mingyang, his parents seemed like children who had done something wrong. They nervously told him the whole story of what happened in Minzhou.
Sure enough, Mingyang's face darkened, especially when he heard that Minghao fell into the water and was in a coma for several days.
Zhao Yunshan and Jiang Mengrou shook hands. So this is what it feels like to be oppressed by the eldest son.
Minghao, however, kept pouting, shaking his head, his face full of smugness. Oh my, it turns out that big brother cares about me so much~
Mingyue couldn't help but laugh when she saw his expression, but Mingyang glared at her as well. She lowered her head in grievance and said, "Okay, okay, covering up for someone is also a crime."
They walked very slowly along the way, not only to make the children walk more comfortably, but also to let the people they met along the way spread the news and give the Dongyi people who lived in the dark a little panic.
"Wow, there are so many people here. Who are those people in shackles at the back?"
"It seems their attire isn't that of ordinary people like us. It's more like the Dongyi people's style. Look, they're even wearing clogs."
"That thing is uncomfortable to look at. My big toe and second toe are both in pain."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I wonder what official is leading the charge. If he can capture this bunch of Dongyi scoundrels, he's probably going to get promoted and make a fortune."
Someone nearby who had gotten the information immediately gave him a slap on the wrist. "What nonsense are you talking about? He's General Weiyuan, and his promotion couldn't get any higher. This is purely for the people of our Great Zhou!"
"That's right. The general of the National People's Congress married Her Royal Highness the Princess, and he has the Emperor's brother-in-law above him and the princess' daughter below him. It's not something that people like us can touch."
"But, General, you're so lucky! You can live a life of luxury, and you can also fight bravely for the people. This is what a truly good official is."
"Alright, alright, stop talking so as not to upset some people."
...
Mingyue rode a horse with her father all the way to the Emperor of Dongyi. They chatted for a while using the communication characters that Wen Zhi had made earlier, and often painted with Mingyang...
It can be said that these days are quite interesting.
Just as he was about to arrive in Jicheng, he received a secret letter from the emperor.
Zhao Yunshan took a closer look and told the children, "Your uncle said that the Crown Prince of Dongyi has voluntarily submitted to our dynasty and become a vassal of the Great Zhou, but on the condition that..."
"That's great! What are the prerequisites?" Minghao was the most excited. He felt that this was a peaceful solution and there would be no more wars and casualties.
"The premise is... he wants the Emperor of Dongyi dead."
Everyone was shocked by these words. Is this something a son could say?
"Also, the Crown Prince of Dongyi has ascended to the throne and is now the new Emperor of Dongyi."
"The most... terrifying thing is that, judging by the timing, this letter seems to have been delivered to the Great Zhou before the Emperor of Dongyi went on his expedition."
Zhao Yunshan's words were like thunderclaps, plunging everyone into deep thought.
The Emperor of Dongyi who was secretly picking his nose: Why... is everyone looking at me?
Masaka! Did you catch me picking my nose?
