The Jin State's counterattack caught Prince Anyang's men off guard.
No matter what strategy they used, the other party was prepared and crushed them.
If they couldn't win, they would retreat!
However, a troop of soldiers was waiting behind them. It was a troop that Prince Anyang had never seen before. Tens of thousands of well-equipped cavalrymen appeared silently behind them.
The outcome had been decided, and there was no need to continue.
Prince Anyang was captured, and Yan Jinxiu ran away when she realized that something was wrong.
Prince Anyang only realized that he had been used by a woman in the end, but it was too late.
"This should be the most satisfying battle we've ever had." After the battle, many people gathered together to discuss.
"His Highness is amazing."
"Yes, yes. When this is over, I must write up His Highness's strategy."
"When will His Highness come back?"
"I don't know …"
"Ask Grand Tutor Qi."
Grand Tutor Qi was flying into a rage at a few idiots. The reason was that these idiots didn't see his melon seeds and threw them away as trash.
Since Grand Tutor Qi was so angry, the others didn't dare to approach him. Although Grand Tutor Qi was usually easy to talk to, he was actually a hot-tempered old man.
He even scolded them for being old and told them to respect the old and love the young, ordering them to do this and that.
Grand Tutor Qi was only in his fifties and looked like a very young old man. He was lively all day and walked with vigor. When he shouted, he was full of energy. How dare he call himself an old man!
After Grand Tutor Qi finished scolding them, they dared to approach him. "Grand Tutor Qi, we despicably want to ask when His Highness will return to the capital."
Grand Tutor Qi took out bags of seeds from somewhere and cracked them open. "What does His Highness's return have to do with you? What, do you want to rebel? "
Everyone: "…" If they wanted to rebel, they had to be instigated by someone!
The ministers in the capital had been jumping around fiercely when His Highness had just left, but not long after, no one was jumping around anymore, and all of them settled down.
…
The people of Jin State didn't return for a long time, but a group of people came.
The State of Chen sent an envoy to submit a letter of credence, voluntarily becoming a vassal state of Jin State.
After the State of Chen, the State of Zhao also submitted a letter of credence.
Since then, Jin Nation had unified the world.
However, the Jin Nation that unified the world did not have an emperor.
Shi Sheng didn't return to the capital until a month after the unification of China.
Shi Sheng took Lian Chen back to Jingning Palace like a thief. The next day, when Xiao Xuan saw Shi Sheng coming out of his room, she was completely dumbfounded.
Your Highness! Down! What! What?! Shi! Hou! Return! Come on! Of course!
"Your Highness … When did you come back?" It took a while for Xiao Xuan to find her voice again.
She didn't even know that His Highness had returned.
"Last night." Shi Sheng yawned. "Go get something to eat. Lian Chen wants to eat when he wakes up."
Xiao Xuan: "…" Your Highness, are you really treating Lian Cheng as a male pet?
Even the Prime Minister accepted it …
It was too strange!
Xiao Xuan shook off those strange thoughts and bowed. "This servant will go right away."
When Shi Sheng returned to the capital, Grand Tutor Qi was the first to visit him. Accompanying him was a box of booklets.
"Your Highness, this old servant has to help you deal with these chores every day. Your Highness, when you left back then, you didn't say that you would be gone for so long."
Shi Sheng silently took out a few bags of melon seeds. "Thank you for your hard work, Grand Tutor Qi."
Grand Tutor Qi immediately beamed with joy. "No problem, no problem. It's this old servant's honor to work for Your Highness."
After taking the items, Grand Tutor Qi didn't stay any longer. "Your Highness, this old servant will take his leave first."
Grand Tutor Qi left the main hall and met Lian Chen, who was walking over from the end of the hall with a bowl of porridge.
Grand Tutor Qi's strong body trembled, and he respectfully called out, "Young Master."
Lian Chen walked past him without a change in expression, and his clear voice sounded slowly. "Well done."
The tension on Grand Tutor Qi's face relaxed. He waited for Lian Chen to enter before leaving Jingning Palace.
…
"Your Highness, it's time to eat." Lian Chen placed the tray on the table next to Shi Sheng and took out the things inside one by one.
"You know Grand Tutor Qi?" Shi Sheng looked at Lian Chen thoughtfully.
Lian Chen pushed the small bowl of porridge in front of Shi Sheng. "Grand Tutor Qi is my father's man."
Shi Sheng nodded to show that he understood and didn't continue asking.
Lian Chen sat opposite Shi Sheng. "Your Highness, do you want to hear a story from me?"
Shi Sheng held the bowl and drank the porridge. He asked vaguely, "About who?"
"The Lian family … me."
"Oh, then tell me about it."
Lian Chen's grandfather used to be Emperor Chengyuan's study companion. Emperor Chengyuan was Shi Sheng's grandfather, the father of her father.
Lian Chen's grandfather and Emperor Chengyuan grew up together. They had a deep relationship and were as close as brothers.
When Emperor Chengyuan inherited the throne, the entire imperial court was very unstable. There were many factions in the imperial court, and there were very few people he could use.
As the emperor, he was almost a figurehead. Emperor Chengyuan and Lian Chen's grandfather tried many ways, but they couldn't take power.
Later, Emperor Chengyuan proposed the idea of using violence to curb violence.
He and Lian Chen's grandfather set up a trap and pretended that they were enemies. Lian Chen's grandfather began to develop in the direction of a treacherous official, but secretly worked for Emperor Chengyuan.
Sure enough, the situation quickly stabilized. Emperor Chengyuan didn't seem to have much power, but in fact, he had all the power.
However, after being the emperor for too long, he would always be suspicious.
When he was middle-aged, Emperor Chengyuan began to suspect Lian Chen's grandfather. In order to dispel Emperor Chengyuan's suspicion, Lian Chen's grandfather accepted the woman that Emperor Chengyuan gave him. Not long after, he died in the hands of that woman.
Not long after Lian Chen's grandfather died, Emperor Chengyuan found that the situation was starting to get out of control again. He had to secretly promote Lian Chen's father and train him to be the successor of Lian Chen's grandfather.
The people of the Lian family were smart. Lian Chen's father knew Emperor Chengyuan's intentions, but Lian Chen's grandfather didn't allow him to take revenge before he died. The Lian family was loyal to Jin and the imperial family.
Until now, when the emperor ascended the throne, he walked the same old path as Lian Chen's grandfather.
The only smart thing was that he planted many of his trusted aides in Lian Chen's court. Perhaps he didn't want Lian Chen to end up like them in the end.
Loyalty and evil didn't conflict.
Shi Sheng's mouth twitched into a smile. "The emperor's family has always been so cold-blooded and heartless."
Lian Chen smiled bitterly. He couldn't help it.
He looked at Shi Sheng and reached out to hold Shi Sheng's hand that was on the table. His voice was somewhat cautious. "Your Highness, I don't want to be an official. Are you willing to give up the position of the eldest princess for me and go far away?"
Shi Sheng: "…"
I've already conquered the world, but you're telling I that you want to go far away?
Damn, why didn't you say so earlier!
You're poisonous!
"Your Highness, are you unwilling?" Lian Chen was slightly disappointed. "That's true. How can Your Highness put down so many people for me …"
"When are you leaving?"
