Two months later.
The resurrected Emperor Sejong led thousands of troops to conquer the Kingdom of Dawan.
The Great Jin Dynasty included Dongling Kingdom and Dayuan Kingdom into the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty reached an unprecedented height.
On a sunny day, Emperor Sejong returned to the court with his troops.
"Congratulations to Emperor Sejong for his return to the court!"
"Congratulations to Emperor Sejong for his return to the court!"
The young emperor and the queen mother came to greet him with all the civil and military officials, and the people of the capital also gathered around the gate of the capital, talking non-stop.
"Isn't there a young emperor now? Where can we find Emperor Sejong?"
"Don't you know this? Emperor Shizong said he was dead before, so he allowed the young emperor to ascend the throne, but it turned out that he was not dead. He was lurking in the Dawan Kingdom. He cooperated with the mighty general inside and outside and captured the Dawan Kingdom."
"Then our Jin Dynasty now has two emperors. Isn't this going to cause chaos?"
"Hey, what you said seems to make sense!"
Amid the murmurs of the crowd, a train of horses appeared at the gate of the city.
At the front, a man on a tall horse is wearing silver armor. When the sun shines down, the armor reflects silver light, making people afraid to look down.
The clatter of horse hooves resounded through the sky, majestic, as if announcing a great victory.
"It's father!" Chu Changsheng stood on the city wall, saw the man on the horse from a distance, and said excitedly, "Let's go to greet father!"
Chu Hongyu could not wait for a long time.
Whoever wants to be the emperor can be the emperor, but he is not worthy of it anyway.
Before, he had to work hard to protect his mother and younger brothers and sisters. Now that his father is back, why is he still holding on? He wants to turn back into that heartless child.
The two brothers and sister quickly walked down the tower.
Yun Chu took Chu Hongjue and followed him down.
The queue in the distance was getting closer and closer, and the people couldn't help but cheer.
Yun Chu's eyes were fixed on the tall man on the horse. She saw that his face was crisscrossed with scars. Although his neck was blocked by armor, she could still clearly see the whiplash wounds on his neck...
When she looked at Chu Yi, the man's eyes also fell on her.
We haven’t seen each other for almost half a year. She has lost weight, Brother Jue has grown older, Brother Yu has become calmer, Chang Sheng has grown taller...
He couldn't control it anymore, got off his horse and ran towards Yun Chu.
He took his wife and three children into his arms.
"I'm sorry, Chu'er, I'm sorry..."
His voice was hoarse to the extreme, the sound was squeezed out of his chest.
Yun Chu said in disbelief: "What's wrong with your throat?"
The program came over and said: "My throat was burned like this by the fire. Fortunately, I saved my life..."
"Father..." Chu Hongyu saw the wounds on Chu Yi's face and hands, and his eyes suddenly turned red, "What's going on? Why are there wounds all over his body..."
He originally wanted to throw the throne to his father, but seeing Chu Yi like this, all his words were blocked in his throat.
"Your Majesty, don't blame me..." The program helped explain, "I was shot into the sea by a thousand arrows and floated on the sea for three days. I was rescued by people from the royal family of Dawan Kingdom..."
Only then did Yunchu realize what this man had been through.
When he led his troops to pursue the enemy, he fell into the enemy's trap, was pierced by thousands of arrows, and fell into the sea.
After floating on the sea for three days and three nights, he was rescued by the Second Highness of the Dawan Kingdom. The Second Highness learned his identity from his clothes and knew that he was the prince of the Jin Dynasty, so he took him there. He was imprisoned in a water prison and whipped every day, forcing him to write letters to the Jin Dynasty in an attempt to cause unrest in the Jin Dynasty.
He tried every means to unlock the shackles every day. It took him a month to finally open the shackles. Then, when His Highness was alone, he jumped up from the water prison, wrapped a thin wire around His neck, and tied the shackles to His Highness. People were strangled to death.
Then, he threw His Highness into the water prison, locked him in shackles, and took a hammer to smash His Highness's face.
Immediately afterwards, he scratched his face with a wire, leaving a bloody face that no one could recognize.
So, he replaced His Highness the Second Highness and became a member of the Dawan royal family.
At that time, he originally wanted to write a letter to Yunchu, but countless people from the Dawan royal family were staring at him, and there were too many eyeliners, making it impossible for him to do anything.
He heard the news that Brother Yu had ascended the throne and Yun Chu had become the Queen Mother. When he heard that mother and son were safe, he could only suppress his eagerness and continue planning...
He persuaded the Emperor of Dayuan to cooperate with the Jin Dynasty and destroyed the Dongling Kingdom in one fell swoop.
After the destruction of Dongling, the ambitions of the Dayuan Kingdom expanded and they wanted to attack and annex the Jin Dynasty.
And his identity was also discovered. It was he who set a fire and burned down the palace of Dayuan, burning everyone who knew his identity. At the same time, he also burned his throat, making it very difficult to speak...
After receiving Yunchu's letter, he immediately assassinated the emperor of Dayuan Kingdom, created internal strife in the royal family, and contacted the Jin Dynasty to catch Dayuan Kingdom off guard.
Dayuan Kingdom, whose territory was far larger than Dongling Kingdom, was destroyed in this way.
After half a year, he finally came back.
In his arms are his wife and children, in front of him is the Jin Dynasty, and around him are his subjects.
This feeling is extremely reassuring.
"See the Great Emperor!"
All the ministers saluted together.
Only then did Chu Yi let go of the person in his arms.
"Father..." Chu Hongyu whispered, "Can I return the throne to you and issue the decree now?"
His father was much more powerful than him. He defeated two neighboring countries by himself. If his father became emperor, the Jin Dynasty would definitely usher in the greatest prosperity in history.
Chu Yi touched his head and said in a hoarse voice: "The people think highly of you. Although you are young, you are very popular among the people. I will be your emperor well."
Chu Changsheng said: "Being the emperor is too hard. My father needs to recuperate. It's not suitable. Brother, just take care of it."
Chu Hongyu's eyes turned red.
Yes, my father was injured like this. There was probably not a single piece of good flesh on his body, and his voice was mute... He wouldn't have been able to take care of him in just three to five years.
"Yes, we need to recuperate." Chu Yi said, "Chu'er, take brother Jue and follow me to Nanyang to recuperate."
"Nanyang?" Chu Hongyu paused, "A few days ago, court officials reported that bandits have appeared frequently in Nanyang recently. Father, you..."
You just came back from the expedition and you want to go to Nanyang to kill bandits?
My father worked so hard, why didn't he work hard? Why did he still want to give up?
He immediately spoke to the courtiers: "My dear lords, there was no court meeting this morning. Please make up for it now. Let's go, drive back to the palace!"
The vast procession returned to the palace.
Yun Chu and Chu Yi were sitting on the same carriage. She brushed her hand from his face and sighed: "Really going to Nanyang?"
"It's to help Brother Yu grow up. He has made some achievements, but he can't help but be erratic. We need to put some pressure on him." Chu Yi hugged Yun Chu and said, "However, there are indeed bandits in Nanyang. If the bandits gather into a I don’t know how many people will suffer, so I have to go there myself.”
"But -" he looked at Yun Chu's eyebrows, "I don't want to be separated from you again. Let's take brother Jue and go south together."
Yun Chu looked back at him: "Okay."
From this year onwards, the Jin Dynasty entered an unprecedented prosperous era.
The Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother took Prince Yan to the south for a private visit incognito, and wiped out all the bandits. The banditry never happened again. They were considerate of the people's sentiments, inspired to regulate the river, and wrote one legendary story after another.
The young emperor carefully governed the country, issued countless government decrees that benefited the people, and broadened the channels for talent selection. Countless scholars and warriors were able to display their talents, ushering in a prosperous and peaceful age.
It extends to the outer reaches of Xinjiang in the west, to Linghai in the east, and to the Yibin in the west.
Every year in the twelfth lunar month, tributes from all directions and all nations come to court.
