It wasn't until more than half an hour later that a military attache came down from the Ming Yang and led King Shang Yuan, Shang De, Xiang Yunhai and others, who were waiting on the dock nervously, onto the ship.

After this period of buffering, Shang Yuanwang and the others' nervous and excited mood has calmed down, and they are all ready to face Ma's, so that they won't panic after seeing Ma's.

Whether it was Shang Yuanwang, Shang De, or Xiang Yunhai, they didn't realize at this moment that most of the hour was actually the time that Li Yuntian had specially left for them to calm down and arrange countermeasures, and Li Yuntian was even more reluctant than them to see them disrupted by the back of the Ma Clan, so there was no room for relaxation at all.

In the cabin of the Mingyang, Li Yuntian greeted Ma Shi, who was sitting at the bottom left of him, and Ma Shi had not only bathed and changed his clothes at this time, but also changed into a set of Ryukyu aristocratic women's costumes that Lin Xin brought from home.

"King Zhongwu, Xiao Wang learned that the prince had won a big victory in Vaulting Horse Harbor, so he specially set up a celebration banquet for the prince, and invited the prince to go to the banquet with his face." After entering the cabin, King Shang Yuan pretended not to see Ma, and bowed to Li Yuntian with a smile.

"See the prince!" Shang De and Xiang Yunhai and others, who were following King Shang Yuan, bowed down to Li Yuntian one after another.

"Excuse me!" Hearing this, Li Yuntian raised his hand upwards to the void of Yunhai and the others, signaled them to get up, and then turned to King Shang Yuan, "King of the Ryukyus, this king learned about something three days ago, you are not a descendant of King Shangba Zhi but the royal lock side official of the Imperial City, can this be the case?" ”

"Lord Yu, Xiao Wang is indeed not a descendant of King Shangba Zhi, after the death of King Shangba Zhi, the country was in turmoil, and some people with ill intentions took the opportunity to make trouble, killing the son and prince of King Shangba Zhi, so that there was no heir to the throne in the country, Xiao Wang became the successor to the throne under the recommendation of everyone, and it had been reported to the Ming Dynasty as early as the year before last."

King Shang Yuan had already made preparations at this time, and bowed to Li Yuntian in an orderly manner and said, "Lord Zhang from the Daming Rite Department has not left yet, if the prince doesn't believe it, you can ask him to see if Xiao Wang is telling the truth." ”

"It's a bunch of nonsense, it's clear that you instructed someone to murder the concubine, the prince and the princes, and now you want to deceive the prince, it's really hateful!" At this time, Ma, who was sitting on one side, couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, got up and pointed at King Shang Yuan and scolded angrily.

"Princess!" King Shang Yuan pretended to be surprised when he heard this, looked at Ma Shi and asked in surprise, "Didn't you die in the fire set by the rebels with the prince?" ”

"Of course you want the concubine to die, but the concubine has two people to die for the concubine and the son, and now you are waiting for retribution." Ma Shi sneered, his eyes were coldly waiting for King Shang Yuan, eager to swallow him in one gulp.

"Princess!" At this time, Shang De, Fang Yunhai and the others could no longer turn a blind eye to Ma, and bowed to her one after another, and many people had embarrassed looks on their faces.

"Humph!" Seeing this, Ma Shi sneered, and ignored those officials who saluted, but she knew that most of those people supported King Shang Yuan's succession to the throne back then, and they could be described as her enemies.

"Concubine, do you have any evidence to prove that he murdered the prince and prince of King Shangba Zhi?" After witnessing this scene in front of him, Li Yuntian frowned and pointed at King Shang Yuan and asked Ma.

"Lord Wang, although there is no evidence of the concubine's body, but this person has wolf ambitions, if he doesn't harm the prince and the princes, how can he ascend to the throne?"

Ma Shi was slightly stunned when she heard this, how could she have any evidence that she had been hiding in the shantytown for the past two years, but King Shang Yuan's belief in the throne was Sima Zhao's heart, so he said to Li Yuntian with a sad face.

"Lord Wang, the rebel generals who killed several princes back then have been executed, and they confessed that the reason why they wanted to kill several princes was to take advantage of the chaos to loot property, and the confession of the year was already in the hands of Lord Zhang, if the prince didn't believe it, he could go and read it."

At this time, Shang De, who was standing behind King Shang Yuan, spoke up and quietly told Li Yuntian that he had long known that the Ma clan had no evidence in his hands, and he could not convince a prestigious prince like Li Yuntian with just one side.

"The king has read the confessions of the interrogation at that time, and the rebels have confessed that they killed the princes for the sake of money." Li Yuntian nodded when he heard this, and then looked at Ma Shi with a stern expression, "Concubine, this king doesn't seem to think that this matter is as you think, you may have misunderstood something." ”

"Lord Wang, don't you know, these thieves are worried that Daming will investigate this matter, so they kill people, and those rebels are their cronies." Ma Shi suddenly became anxious when she heard this, she originally thought that Li Yuntian would take down the rebels like King Shang Yuan with the power of thunder, but she didn't expect Li Yuntian to act so cautiously, so she said to Li Yuntian angrily.

"Princess Niangniang, although they are subordinates of the ministers, but the rebellion has nothing to do with the ministers and others, I will take them down and punish them as soon as we know about their evil deeds, and they will be punished." Seeing Ma's affection, Shang De became excited, so he explained in an orderly manner.

"Hmph, you're afraid that they will leak the news." Ma knew that Shang De was Shang Yuan's confidant and military advisor, so he glared at him coldly and said.

"The princess Niangniang, the ministers are loyal to His Majesty the King, the sun and the moon can be seen, and the princess Niangniang misunderstood the ministers." Shang De's rich experience naturally wouldn't admit it, and he bowed to Ma and said seriously.

"The ministers are loyal to His Majesty the King, and the sun and the moon can be seen." Hearing this, the rest of the ministers expressed their loyalty to Ma and made a show for Li Yuntian.

"Humph!" Seeing this, Ma's face suddenly became even more ugly, and she snorted coldly, because she had no evidence in her hand, she could only sit back and watch Shang Yuanwang and Shang De and the others push the responsibility away, and there was nothing they could do.

"Concubine, according to this king, the top priority is to find the prince, and the rest of the things can be investigated slowly and thoroughly." Li Yuntian glanced at Ma Shi with an angry face, and quietly raised a proposal.

"What the prince said is very true, according to what the prince said." Although Ma was quite unwilling in her heart, now because she had no evidence, she could only follow Li Yuntian's suggestion, find the prince first, and then let the son succeed to the throne.

The expressions on the faces of Shang Yuanwang and Shang De and the others suddenly darkened when they heard this, it was obvious that Li Yuntian was supporting the prince to inherit the throne, which made Xiang Yunhai have an irrepressible surprise on his face.

However, Shang Yuanwang and Shang De and the others were not without gains, from Li Yuntian's attitude, they felt that Li Yuntian didn't seem to want to make a big deal about the pursuit and killing of the prince, otherwise how would they give them a chance to defend themselves? This gives them a little bit of peace of mind.

In the afternoon, the prince was picked up by the Ming army sailors from the hiding village on the Ming Yang, Ma met with his head and cried, they have lived a day of fear every day for the past two years, and now they can finally sleep peacefully.

As Li Yuntian expected, the Ma family and the prince did not look back at the Licheng Palace, but temporarily stayed on the Ming Yang, and it was obvious that the Ma family could not trust Shang Yuanwang and Shang De and others.

Xiang Yunhai and several powerful people of the Ryukyu Kingdom specially met with Ma, who were originally the people who finally became King Shangbazhi, so they were warmly received by Ma, and for Ma, he needed Xiang Yunhai and others to help her take charge of the overall situation of the DPRK.

At the same time as going to the sea of clouds to meet the Ma clan, the royal palace of Shurijo Castle.

"Shall we just sit back and die?" King Shangba Zhi summoned some of his henchmen to come to the meeting, and because the prince was still alive, everyone felt quite uneasy, and one of the priests couldn't help but say to King Shangba Zhi, "In my opinion, it is better not to do anything, and send people except the princess and the prince, so that no one will compete with His Highness for the throne." ”

"By all means, now that the princess and His Royal Highness are protected by King Zhongwu, if we kill them, we will be against King Zhongwu."

Immediately, another secretary vetoed this stupid suggestion, and Li Yuntian effortlessly swept away the Japanese who had been entrenched in Vaulting Harbor all the year round, and if he angered everyone here, don't want to think about it, the army of the Ryukyu Kingdom would definitely be vulnerable in front of the Ming army.

"Then what should we do, we can't wait here for death in vain, once the prince inherits the throne, he will definitely take us." The press who spoke earlier couldn't help but smash his fist and said with a look of chagrin.

"Not necessarily!" At this time, Shang De, who was sitting at the head of King Shang Yuan, opened his mouth, put down the teacup in his hand and said quietly, "King Zhongwu is a man of great martial arts, and he definitely doesn't want to see our Ryukyu Kingdom kill each other and fall into civil strife, otherwise where will we come back." ”

"I heard that King Zhongwu is a sensible person who takes care of the overall situation, and now it seems that this is the case, if it is left to others, one of us and the princess will definitely suffer today." Shangde's words sparked a resonance among everyone present, and one of the priests couldn't help but speak.

Although Li Yuntian supported the princess and the prince, he did not mean to attack King Shang Yuan and Shang De and others, but mediated and mediated from them, so that the two sides maintained a delicate balance, and the key to this balance was whether the person who chased and killed the princess and the prince was sent by King Shang Yuan and Shang De.

Obviously, Li Yuntian was very cautious in this matter, which invisibly relieved the siege of King Shang Yuan and Shang De's side, because the princess could not have any evidence to prove that it was King Shang Yuan who instigated this pursuit, and the heads of those leading rebels were cut off by King Shang Yuan afterwards, which became a talisman for King Shang Yuan.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, if Li Yuntian insists on evidence, then the princess and the monk Yuanwang will definitely evolve into a confused account in the end because of their own opinions, and then it will not be resolved.

"Your Highness, are you just giving up the throne like this?" Thinking that the prince was about to inherit the throne of the king of the Ryukyu Kingdom, a priest looked at King Shoen unwillingly.

"King Zhongwu is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and the king of our Ryukyu Kingdom is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally has to support the succession of the son, otherwise where is the majesty of the Ming Dynasty? Why should we fight? King Shang Yuan had already seen a lot at this time, and smiled helplessly at the priest, it was not that he was defeated by his lack of strength, but that he did not have the title of a prince and therefore could not serve as the king of the Ryukyus.

With King Shang Yuan's emotion, the scene suddenly fell silent, no one thought that the princess and the prince were not dead, let alone that their luck was so good to meet King Zhongwu, and now they can only accept the situation of the son succeeding to the throne.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are important ministers of the Ryukyus, as long as we serve the Ming Dynasty, then we will naturally have no worries, since the King of Zhongwu did not punish us, then we will definitely keep us peaceful." Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a little gloomy and depressing, King Shang Yuan smiled and said loudly.

In the eyes of King Shang Yuan, Li Yuntian did not want to see civil strife in the Ryukyus, so he would definitely find a way to prevent the war between the princess and him, so that both sides would be safe and sound.

Hearing this, everyone present nodded their heads one after another, just as King Shang Yuan said, as long as they are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, then Li Yuntian will definitely provide them with protection.
