"Princess Niangniang, the prince will definitely be the master of His Royal Highness the Prince." Lin Xin saw that Ma recognized herself, so she said to her with red eyes, and then looked at Li Yuntian with an earnest face.

"Bring the stuff up." Li Yuntian pondered for a moment and said to the military attache who brought the Ma clan in.

The military attache immediately put the yellow cloth ball in Ma's hand on the table beside Li Yuntian, and when he opened it, there was a holy decree rolled together.

Li Yuntian picked up the holy decree and opened it and swept it and then respectfully put it back, he had been a Shuji for three years, and naturally knew the authenticity of the holy decree at a glance, this holy decree was given by Emperor Xuande to King Shangbazhi as the king of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and gave the surname "Shang".

"Quick, pick up the concubine." Then, Li Yuntian stood up and said to Lei Ting, who was standing aside, and then pretended to look at Ma Shi in surprise and said, "Concubine, this king heard that you and the prince have been killed in the fire in the chaos together, what is going on?" ”

"The prince doesn't know, since the death of the first king of the country, some rebellious ministers and thieves in the country have taken advantage of the situation to make trouble, and want to kill the prince and the princes, God has mercy on the concubine to save her life with the prince, and I hope that the prince will administer justice to the prince." Ma looked at Li Yuntian with a sad and angry expression after being helped up by Lei Ting, and in order to respect Li Yuntian, she deliberately used the word "concubine".

"How can such a thing happen?" Li Yuntian showed a shocked look on his face when he heard this, and he looked very surprised, and said to Ma Shi in a deep voice, "Since the prince has escaped, why didn't he come with the concubine?" ”

"The prince doesn't know, now Ryukyu is already the world of the traitor Jinyuan, and the concubine is worried about the safety of the prince so she hid him in the countryside, and asked the prince to send someone to take the prince back." Ma Shi hurriedly explained to Li Yuntian, and then bowed down and pleaded.

"Come on, go to pick up the son, and you must bring the son back safely." Li Yuntian nodded, and opened his mouth to order the military attache standing at the door.

Seeing this, Ma Shi suddenly showed a relaxed look, she originally thought that Li Yuntian would be difficult to deal with, but she didn't expect that things would go so smoothly, and she would get along better than the envoy sent by the Ming Dynasty to the Ryukyu Kingdom.

"You take the concubine down to freshen up." After the military attache at the gate was ordered to leave, Li Yuntian first explained to Lin Xin, and then said solemnly to Ma, "This king will summon the civil and military officials of the Ryukyus and listen to their opinions." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Ma knew that her current clothes were not proper, and since Li Yuntian had promised to give her justice, there was naturally no need for her to stay here any longer, so she bowed to Li Yuntian and left with Lin Xin.

"Xianggong, do you really want to take down King Shangyuan?" After the Ma family left, Lei Ting came to Li Yuntian's side and asked in a low voice, once the prince arrived, King Shang Yuan would become a rebellious minister and thief.

"It's not that simple, we can't just listen to one family." Li Yuntian shook his head when he heard this, and said to Lei Ting a little helplessly, "At that time, the two sides will definitely say that the public is reasonable, and the mother will be reasonable, and it will become a mess." ”

Obviously, King Shang Yuan would never admit to murdering the sons and princes of King Shangba Zhi, and there is no direct evidence that King Shang Ba Zhi did it, which will make things fall into endless quarrels.

In the final analysis, Li Yuntian not only wanted to maintain the legitimacy of the Ryukyu Kingdom, but also did not want to see the Ryukyu Kingdom fall into turmoil, because the vast majority of the civil and military officials of the Ryukyu Kingdom supported King Shangyuan in the struggle for the throne, once the Ma clan and the prince took power, I am afraid that the Ryukyu Kingdom will set off a bloody storm.

When Shang Yuanwang and the others arrived at the dock, more than 100 soldiers of the Ming Army's naval division were hurriedly leaving from the ground and going to the countryside to pick up the prince hiding there according to the address provided by Ma.

"What happened?" Looking at the soldiers who were in a hurry, King Shang Yuan, who got out of the carriage, couldn't help but ask Shang De who was standing in front of the carriage with some surprise, and he could see that the soldiers were walking in a hurry, as if they had something important to do.

"I'm going to find out." Shang De also felt that things were a little strange, and the Ming army sailors should not have any important actions now, so he thought that King Shang Yuan bowed slightly and started to leave.

If King Shang Yuan wanted to see Li Yuntian, he didn't want to see him, he needed to be told by the military attache of the Ming army who was guarding the dock, and he could only get on the ship after getting permission.

"Oh no, it seems that Princess Ma got on the boat before, and now she hasn't come down yet, and those Ming troops just now seem to be going to pick up the son." Just as King Shang Yuan was waiting for a reply, Shang De walked back with an anxious look on his face and whispered in his ear.

Shang De bribed a military attache on duty at the dock with a gold ingot, who told him the news of Ma's embarkation, and said that the Ming sailors who had left the dock seemed to have gone to pick up some important person.

Although the military attache didn't know who the Ming army left to pick up, Shang De was such a person, and immediately guessed that the son was still alive from the fact that Ma was not dead, so there was a chance that those Ming troops would pick up the son.

It's just that Shang De would never have thought that this news was deliberately leaked to him by Li Yuntian, in order to let King Shang Yuan deal with it early and not be caught off guard, otherwise he would have no chance to help King Shang Yuan at that time.

"What?" King Shang Yuan was taken aback when he heard the news, and looked at Shang De with a shocked expression, "They didn't die in the fire, they might still be alive." ”

"We seem to have fallen for Princess Ma, and she deceived us with Li Daitao's strategy." The corners of Shangde's mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile, no wonder they only got two burned corpses at that time, which turned out to be used by the Ma clan to hide from them and avoid their pursuit.

"She hasn't come down until now, has she already received the support of King Zhongwu." King Shang Yuan's face became a little pale, and he said with annoyance, "I knew that I wouldn't let the young lady of the Lin family go to sleep with King Zhongwu, she would definitely help Princess Ma speak now." ”

"Oh no, will King Zhongwu help her deal with us?" Then, King Shang Yuan thought of a terrible thing, and his expression became panicked, he was going to be killed if he murdered the royal family, but he didn't even have the strength to fight back in front of Li Yuntian.

Although Li Yuntian had already transferred sixty percent of his troops to Jumping Horse Town, even if there were only forty percent of the troops left in Shuri Port, the Ryukyu Kingdom was powerless to contend with them, and they did not dare to confront them.

Therefore, for King Shang Yuan, the best way out in front of him was to flee quickly and take a boat to the South Seas to avoid disaster, so that he could escape this catastrophe.

"Your Highness, if King Zhongwu wanted to attack us, we would have been taken down by now."

Shang De knew that the situation was critical now, and after a deep groan, he said in a low voice, "King Zhongwu is not the kind of person who is unreasonable, he will definitely give us a chance to explain, anyway, the person who wanted to kill Princess Ma that day has already been executed, and there is no proof of this matter." ”

"Yes." King Shang Yuan nodded when he heard this, thinking that what Shang De said was reasonable, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if Li Yuntian really wanted to arrest him, he would be caught as soon as he came to the dock.

For the sake of safety, the general who led people to arrest Princess Ma and set fire to the house has been secretly executed by Shangde afterwards, in Shangde's opinion, only the dead can keep secrets best, and in case the Ming Dynasty investigates it, it can also push this matter to the rebellious generals, so as not to end up killing the king.

Now it seems that this decision of Shangde is undoubtedly wise, and no one can get a secret from a person who is already dead.

Shangde and Shang Yuanwang felt that they were more trusting, and met Li Yuntian, who was willing to be reasonable, otherwise there would be no evidence at all, just relying on Ma's accusations against the Ming Dynasty to kill them, in the final analysis, the King of Ryukyu was sealed by the Ming Emperor, and if it was investigated, killing the prince was a heinous crime.

Not far away, Xiang Yunhai, who was talking to someone, noticed that King Shang Yuan and Shang De were whispering there, his face looked a little ugly, and he suddenly felt a little surprised in his heart, and he didn't know what was going on.

"My prince has a distinguished guest, please wait." At this moment, a military attache disembarked from the Ming Yang, came to King Shang Yuan and said quietly, and then returned to the ship.

Seeing this situation, those high-ranking civil and military officials of the Ryukyu Kingdom who were waiting on the dock suddenly made a commotion, and there was a commotion in the Ryukyu Kingdom that there were more noble guests than King Shangyuan.

To everyone's surprise, King Shang Yuan didn't react to this in the slightest, just stood there worrying and thinking about his thoughts, disdainful of what was happening in the outside world.

"Lord Regent, what the hell is going on?" Shang De smiled and comforted the curious and uneasy officials at the scene, and stepped forward with a deep groan to Yunhai, pretending to be surprised and asked.

As soon as Xiang Yunhai asked this, the officials present immediately looked at Shang De curiously, and everyone wanted to know what happened to make Li Yuntian let King Shang Yuan wait under the boat.

"According to the information obtained by this official, it seems that Princess Ma did not die in the fire, and it is likely that she is now on King Zhongwu's ship." Shang De knew that this matter could not be concealed at all, and Xiang Yunhai and the others would soon find out, so he whispered the identity of the "distinguished guest" on the ship.

"How is this possible!"

"At that time, we all saw the corpse, it was Princess Ma and His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"What, Princess Ma is not dead?"

……

Hearing this, the officials at the scene exploded in a bang, and they all whispered there, with a frightened look on their faces, you must know that they all supported King Shangyuan to become the new king of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and Princess Ma would definitely not let them go this time.

Xiang Yunhai's eyes flashed with a look of surprise, and he was shocked in his heart, so it seemed that Princess Ma and Shizi would soon be able to regain power in the Ryukyus, and then he would be able to raise his eyebrows.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the rebellion that murdered Princess Ma and the prince has been subdued, and we can be regarded as giving an explanation to the princess and the prince." Shang De knew what those officials were afraid of, so he said quietly, "King Zhongwu is a wise saint warrior, benevolent and kind, and he will definitely make this matter have a happy ending." ”

After Shang De's reminder, everyone at the scene immediately breathed a sigh of relief, anyway, the person who wanted to kill Ma and Shizi had already been executed, and Li Yuntian was not the kind of person who acted arbitrarily, which made them still have a chance to live.

"Humph!" A sneer flashed at the corner of Xiang Yunhai's mouth, and he snorted secretly in his heart, he naturally knew that Shangde was comforting those officials, but Shangde and Shang Yuanwang's general trend was gone, and they were not obediently at the mercy of Princess Ma.
