In autumn, Tianyun City is filled with a sense of solemnity.
In September, Crown Prince Yang Lin ascended the throne, and the coronation ceremony lasted for seven days. Officials who had been dismounted during the purge were reinstated one after another. Those who entered the capital were re-employed, and those who were promoted were promoted.
As for those officials who were originally direct descendants of Yang Zhen, they were demoted and exiled. Even though Yang Linzhai was kind-hearted, he would gradually show his ruthless side after becoming the emperor.
In mid-September, Lin Ming took Qin Xingxuan back to Qingmulg City.
Yang Lin had already sent people to take back Lin Ming's parents.
Yang Lin knew that this time he could save his life and eventually ascend the throne, all thanks to Lin Ming's gift. It could be said to be a gift of reincarnation. However, he could not live up to the request. All he could give Lin Ming was
Power and money in the secular world meant nothing to Lin Ming.
However, Yang Lin was also a well-rounded person. He couldn't give Lin Ming anything, so he issued an order to canonize Lin Ming's parents.
Lin Ming's father was conferred the title of Duke of Lu, with a fiefdom of five hundred miles. This Lu Kingdom included the territory of Qingmulg City. In other words, Qingmulg City would become the Lin family's fiefdom from now on.
Lin Ming's mother was made a first-class lady, and even Lin Xiaodong was made a first-class viscount.
These canonizations are remarkable. Although neither the Duke nor the imperial concubine has any real official power, the Duke's status is second only to the princes and princes, and he is the top figure in the aristocratic circle.
The title can be hereditary, and once it is granted, it will not be withdrawn unless there is a serious crime. Therefore, the general court will not grant titles easily, except for those who have made meritorious achievements during the founding of the country. In times of peace and prosperity, they will be very careful when granting titles.
It is sheer fantasy to think of being granted the title of Duke in one step.
You must know that the lord of Qingsang City is only a viscount, with a fiefdom of thirty miles and a thousand households.
As for the major families in Qingsang City, except for the Zhu family who got a noble status without even a fiefdom because they married their daughter and became a concubine, the rest of the family heads don't even have a second-class baron. They are out-and-out.
A commoner can at most be regarded as a country squire or a wealthy man.
There is an insurmountable gap between common people and nobles. Nobility represents honor. Although big merchants are rich and powerful, they are just speculators in the hearts of common people. In terms of social status, they are not as good as big nobles.
Therefore, for Lin Ming's parents, being able to be ennobled and become a legendary figure like the Duke of the country, a first-grade imperial decree, was definitely a great joy for the ancestors.
Seeing his parents happy, Lin Ming was also very happy. He didn't expect that just a small canonization in the secular world could make his parents so happy. Last time Lin Ming came back, he gave his parents something that could extend their life span for nearly a hundred years.
Precious elixirs have never made my parents so happy.
Lin Ming's mother touched the imperial edict over and over again. She was so happy that she couldn't help but ask the craftsmen to build a sandalwood box to seal the edict. She also said that she would go to Jiuquan to see the faces of her ancestors.
Now that there is light, these thoughts made Lin Ming dumbfounded.
Mother Lin was chattering happily when suddenly there was a sound of a baby girl crying from the west wing.
This baby is Lin Ming's sister.
This time Lin Ming was trapped in the Divine Phoenix Secret Realm for a year. Under the protection of Qin Ziya, Lin Ming's parents never knew about Lin Ming's death. They lived happily for a year and gave Lin Ming a baby.
younger sister.
Speaking of which, this is due to Lin Ming's elixir. After working hard for half a life, the two couples are living younger and younger. The wrinkles on their skin have disappeared and their health is getting better and better. Now the two couples look no different from people in their early thirties.
Lin Ming's sister was only a few months old and was still nursing. She was named Lin Xiaoge.
The little girl had incredibly big eyes, and she didn't recognize life. When she saw Lin Ming, she stared at her bright and black eyes intently.
Seeing that Lin Ming liked it very much, he took out a soul-nurturing jade pendant from the Sumeru Ring and hung it around Lin Xiaoge's neck.
This little life came just in time. Lin Ming was originally worried that his parents would be lonely after he left. With Xiao Ge here, that would not be the case. In the future, if he adds a younger brother or something, he can also inherit the title. As for Xiao Ge, he might marry
It is extremely possible to enter the palace and become a queen in the future. My parents should not have any regrets then...
Lin Ming originally did not intend to tell his parents what had happened this year, but after the couple returned home for a long time, they still learned what had happened. Lin's mother was terrified after hearing the news.
Especially when she knew that Lin Ming would leave Tianyun Kingdom again soon, and it was very likely that he would leave for a long time, Mother Lin's originally extremely happy mood was suddenly diluted, and she remained silent for a long time.
She didn't know what Lin Ming would go through when he went out, but there was no doubt that it would be very dangerous, and since she wouldn't see her son for several years, Mother Lin wouldn't be happy either.
The only one who could make Mother Lin smile was Qin Xingxuan. Although Lin Ming and Qin Xingxuan were only friends, in Mother Lin's view, Lin Ming brought Qin Xingxuan home just to meet his parents-in-law. This daughter-in-law was
No matter how you look at it, you are satisfied. He is from a good background, well-educated, and good-looking.
Lin's mother made several insinuations, asking when she would get married and have a grandson. This made Lin Ming laugh and cry. If he wanted to expect him to have a grandson, it would be more reliable to hope that Xiaoge would grow up and have a grandson.
Warriors travel around and have no fixed place to live, so it is impossible to take care of their children. This is also the reason why most warriors give birth very late. Generally, they will only consider having children when their potential is exhausted and their realm is stable. Among the powerful spinning pills
, there are many people over 100 years old who give birth to children.
He lived quietly at home for half a month. During this period, Lin Ming seldom practiced. He spent most of his time with his parents and occasionally played with the pigeons.
But in the dead of night, Lin Ming would meditate on the "Great Wild Halberd Technique" left by the Demon Emperor. The more he meditated, the more he felt that this set of exercises was extremely profound, but it was also very difficult to practice.
The day of separation has finally arrived. Lin Ming will return to Divine Phoenix Island, and Qin Xingxuan will also accompany him. The relationship between him and Qixuan Valley is finally over.
The next day, early morning——
The autumn wind was bleak, and the leaves were withered and yellow. Above the azure sky, a row of geese flew southward silently. Lin Ming stood under the broad wings of the fire lin, and his clothes were blown by the wind of flames.
Behind Lin Ming, Mother Lin covered her mouth and couldn't help crying.
Father Lin also lamented that he was proud to have such a son, but it was destined that this son would never be by their side, otherwise he would never be able to fly high.
"Father, mother, take care!" Lin Ming knelt down and kowtowed three times, then jumped onto the fire lin. The fire lin spread its wings and took Lin Ming and Qin Xingxuan into the sky.
The red bird spreads its wings and flies high, the wind howls, and the flames dye the sky red...
The path of the strong is destined to be lonely, and it is impossible to live a long life with your loved ones.
This is also the reason why many great powers, such as the witch god in southern Xinjiang, still descend to earth after so many years but are bound to the mortal world.
"Lin Ming, should we fly directly to Divine Phoenix Island?" Qin Xingxuan asked on Suzaku's back.
