Yingfeng walked into the room and said: "Your Majesty, King Wu is here."
Long Chen followed up and saw the empress sitting upright, with Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi standing on both sides, both of them looking serious and glaring at Long Chen.
"The humble minister pays homage to His Majesty."
Long Chen felt confused, what kind of formation is this?
The empress asked coldly: "Is the dragon chair comfortable to sit on?"
Long Chen said honestly: "It's uncomfortable, it's too hard, and it's very cold. It will definitely freeze your buttocks in winter."
The empress sneered and said: "Well, it's not comfortable. I'll try my phoenix chair when I get back. It's very soft and comfortable."
Long Chen said with a grateful face: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I also feel that Your Majesty is very soft and comfortable."
The empress' face changed slightly, and she cursed Long Chen for being shameless in her heart. In front of the two princesses, do you think this is appropriate?
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi didn't think too much, so they didn't understand.
"Sun Lu just accused you of treason, do you have anything to say?"
The empress was slightly angry, Long Chen dared to tease her in public, how unreasonable.
Long Chen flatly denied it: "This is a false accusation. We have never thought of treason!"
"Wei Chen has been favored by the Holy One, and the two princesses are getting married. Why did Wei Chen rebel?"
Hearing this, Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi were happy, and the anger on their faces disappeared.
The empress snorted coldly: "Oh? Don't you want to go one step further and become emperor after marrying the princess?"
Long Chen said: "No, I just want to marry the two princesses and give birth to a bunch of cubs for the Holy Master to have around my knees."
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi blushed and turned around in embarrassment.
The empress looked back at her two daughters and felt that they were really not up to par.
"Then what happened to you in Fengtian Temple just now?"
The empress was really angry, and she didn't know why she was angry, she was just very angry.
Long Chen argued: "Wei Chen is sitting on the dragon chair of Nanliang. The rebellion is also a rebellion against Nanliang. How can it be a rebellion against the Holy Emperor?"
"As for talking about proclaiming himself emperor, he is also criticizing Li Zhaoliang. How can he be disrespectful to the Holy One?"
"The Holy One treats me with deep love and righteousness. I always think of His Majesty's kindness, so how can I have any thoughts of rebellion?"
"The Holy Lord's every move, every move, his voice, his face and his face are all imprinted in my heart. Even in my dreams, I can imagine what my Holy Lord looks like."
The more Long Chen spoke, the more outrageous he became. The Empress couldn't stand listening anymore and waved her hand, "Okay, shut up, what nonsense!"
Long Chen coughed dryly and said: "I have never had any intention of treason. The sun and the moon can teach me."
The empress asked: "Have all the people been dealt with?"
Long Chen replied: "After the disposal is completed, all members of the Li family's royal family will be beheaded, leaving no one behind."
"Let the ministers who surrendered go free. These people are of no use and cannot cause trouble!"
Huairen was Huai Yi's son. Long Chen didn't kill him, but left a piece of incense for Huai Yi as a reward for his loyalty.
Di Luoxi asked: "Does anyone recognize that text?"
The empress also asked: "Can anyone recognize it?"
Long Chen said: "What a coincidence. They said that Yu Shinan was proficient in ancient writing, so they happened to return to the capital for him to identify."
The empress was overjoyed and said: "It's a coincidence that you still want to find Yu Shinan. When you first entered the palace, you were competing with him for poems, but you didn't expect that it would be him again now."
Unexpectedly, this Yu Shinan was so useful, which exceeded the empress' expectations.
Di Lingyi said excitedly: "In that case, let's go back early."
The empress said: "There is no need to be in such a hurry, the matter in Jinling has not been settled yet."
"Who do you think is better for guarding Jinling?"
The empress asked Long Chen what he meant.
Jinling is the capital of Nanliang, and guarding it also means guarding the southern border.
400 years after the founding of Nanliang, although Jinling City was destroyed, the royal family was also killed.
But there will definitely be rebellions, large and small, in various places, and they will cause trouble in the name of reviving Nanliang.
So those who stay behind must make careful arrangements.
Long Chen said: "My suggestion is to leave Li Xiannan and Gongsun Ming to guard Jinling."
"Gongsun Ming is the grandson of Lao Zhuguo. He is reliable. Let him be responsible for government affairs and take charge of the overall situation."
"Let Li Xiannan command the 80,000 troops and horses of his headquarters to camp in Jinling. If there is a rebellion elsewhere, troops can be sent to suppress it."
Gongsun Ming's roots are strong and he is absolutely reliable. It is most suitable for him to stay behind.
Li Xiannan has been guarding the south for a long time. She has no problem fighting and is very reliable.
The most important thing in employing people is reliability.
The empress nodded slightly and said, "Yes, let them stay."
In fact, there is another reason for keeping the two of them. Apart from being loyal and reliable, they can't do anything else.
Gongsun Ming's cultivation level is average and not as good as Gongsun Linglong, so there is no use in following him back.
Li Xiannan is enough to guard Nanliang. If he deals with the ghost tribe, his cultivation level is average.
Therefore, it is most appropriate for them to stay in Jinling to guard the city.
"It is passed down that Gongsun Ming and Li Xiannan come to see him."
The empress issued an order, and Yingfeng immediately conveyed the order.
Not long after, Gongsun Ming and Li Xiannan arrived outside the door.
"The humble minister Gongsun Ming pays homage to His Majesty."
"General Li Xiannan pays homage to His Majesty."
The empress nodded slightly and said, "No courtesy."
They thanked each other and stood in the middle.
The empress said straight to the point: "Nanliang has been a country for hundreds of years. Although Jinling has been destroyed and Li Zhaoliang is dead, it is difficult to say that there is peace and tranquility."
"Those old people and young people from Nanliang will definitely make trouble. I need reliable people to guard Jinling."
"King Wu proposed that the two of you should stay behind. Gongsun Ming will be the garrison officer and take charge of the overall situation; Li Xiannan will be the general of Zhennan and take charge of military affairs."
"I agree with King Wu's proposal, what do you two think?"
Guarding Jinling is equivalent to a prince, and can govern the entire Nanliang hometown.
This power is very powerful, and is no different than splitting the earth and enfeoffing a prince.
The two were overjoyed. Gongsun Ming paid homage and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, and thank you for your recommendation, King Wu."
Li Xiannan paid his respects and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I am willing to do so."
The empress said: "Okay, from today onwards, Gongsun Ming will guard Jinling, and Li Xiannan will be the general of Zhennan."
They both thanked and exited at the same time.
After the affairs in Jinling City were settled, the empress asked Long Chen when he would set off to return to the capital.
Long Chen felt that the threat of ghost fetuses was imminent and he couldn't delay for too long. It would be best to set off within the next two days.
The empress agreed and ordered to prepare to return to Beijing immediately.
After leaving the courtyard, Long Chen sent people to transport all the books and classics from Nanliang back to the capital. Li Chengdao's inner treasury was looted and there was nothing left in it.
Two days later.
By the river in the north of the city.
Jin Luo's boat was ready, and the Empress and Long Chen boarded it.
The Long family army has already crossed the river.
Looking at Jinling City, the empress sighed with emotion: "The founding of the country was a long road, and starting a business was difficult. When it collapsed, it was devastated and turned into nothing in an instant."
Wang Wei, Minister of the Ministry of War, looked at Jinling gradually moving away, feeling so strange.
This is his hometown. He came back, but there is no feeling of hometown.
He looked for his old house, which was a wasteland of grass. No one had buried his parents after their deaths, and he couldn't even find a cemetery.
Are you still from Nanliang?
The old house carries a person's childhood. Losing the old house is like losing the memory of childhood, and life is cut off.
But Wang Wei couldn't remember it clearly. He only remembered that he was hungry at night and when he climbed into his parents' bed, they were already starving to death.
