King Nanyang really attacked the city gate the next day, but fortunately he still wanted to leave a reputation of benevolence and kindness to win people's hearts, so he entered the city and did not disturb the people, but only went all the way to the palace, hoping to capture the emperor alive.

However, unfortunately, the king of Nanyang led his troops to dig the palace and searched the ground, and the emperor did not even have a shadow, and then understood, the queen, the queen mother and several favored princes were gone, so the king of Nanyang understood that the emperor was spineless and fled in advance!

King Nanyang laughed angrily, he didn't expect the emperor to be such a seedless man, but the more useless the emperor is, the more he can bring out his wisdom and bravery, and the more he can prove that he is the true son of heaven.

He ordered an all-out investigation to arrest the emperor back, and he must not be allowed to make waves outside. A few days later, the emperor was caught and taken back to the capital by the ashes.

After King Nanyang ascended the throne, he did not kill him, but imprisoned him, sealed the name of King Anning, and then locked up his whole family.

Those officials and nobles who were stupidly loyal to the former emperor or were too corrupt and cruel were all disposed of by the new emperor, after all, once the son of heaven and a courtier, if these useless people are not killed, where can they make room to reward those who have contributed to the new emperor?

The Duke of Anguo unfortunately belonged to the group that was purged by the new emperor, the Duke of Anguo was abolished, the official position was withdrawn, most of the family wealth was confiscated, the whole family was demoted to the common people, the situation plummeted, and there were no more beautiful days before.

Zhou Minqi, who married the prince of An Guo as a concubine, was naturally unlucky, she didn't expect that she would end up in this fate, at this time, she remembered what An Nan and her aunt had persuaded her to do, and she regretted it, but she didn't regret the medicine.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, he always has to reward his merits.

The gauze of Zhou Zhan's eyes was removed, but the right hand and right foot were still wrapped, and he also stood on the Jinluan Hall with a limp, unexpectedly standing in the column of heroes, no one knew that the new emperor had his share in the credit for ascending the throne.

The new emperor rewarded the heroes one by one, and when it was Zhou Zhan's turn, the new emperor originally wanted to give him a knighthood, and then let him return to his old business, and lead the troops to beat his brothers who were struggling to breathe and refused to admit defeat, but when he saw him looking half-crippled, he had to take his mind back and ask him what he wanted.

Zhou Zhan didn't expect that the reward could be asked for by himself, he thought for a while, and then unceremoniously asked the emperor for money, the emperor looked at him meaningfully, and felt that he was a smart person, and only asking for money would not cause him to be jealous.

The emperor thought that he wanted to retreat bravely, so he added another 20% to the original reward to reward him for his knowledge of the times.

Zhou Zhan was very happy about this, causing the surrounding ministers to secretly say that he was scheming, and actually came up with such a trick to curry favor with the new emperor.

But in fact, they really wronged Zhou Zhan, he didn't have those twists and turns, he just thought that An Nan wanted to take in so many displaced people, take them overseas, build a city, and resettle them, all of which required a lot of money, so much so that maybe the money earned by going to sea and traveling was not enough, so he thought that he just asked the emperor for a large sum of gold and silver, which could help his wife alleviate the crisis of lack of money.

I didn't expect it to be really crooked, the emperor was very satisfied, Zhou Zhan was also very satisfied, and An Nan, who was far away, was also very satisfied after coming back.

Zhou Zhan was named a brave marquis, returned to the house with a large reward, and then continued to nest in the house to "recuperate", and did not plan to participate in politics in the court, the new emperor had his own set of teams when he was the king of Nanyang, and the civil and military generals had it, so Zhou Zhan was happy to be a carefree marquis.

An Nan came back half a year after the new emperor ascended the throne, and she didn't come back for a year, so the emperor changed one, but this didn't have a big impact on her and the Zhou Mansion.

However, after she returned to the house, the people in the mansion who hadn't seen her for a long time were in a trance, because An Nan's momentum had changed a lot.

After experiencing a series of things, accustomed to being the superior to take ideas and give orders, An Nan seems to have been reborn, with the majesty of a high-ranking person faintly on her body, and her expression has a terrifying momentum, and the people around her respect her are more than in the past.

Zhou Zhan was a little surprised by her transformation, but after thinking about it, she took it for granted, after all, she had changed from a woman in the house to a leader and manager of thousands of people.

Zhou Zhan then gave the large sum of money rewarded by the new emperor to An Nan to use, this windfall made An Nan very happy, and his head was hot, so he agreed to take him with him next time he went to sea to Ancheng.

An Nan originally wanted to use overseas territories as his retreat, and he would not leave his hometown and go there until he was desperate.

But after taking in many refugees, her mind changed, and now she has lost interest in being a housewife who does nothing all day, and wants to leave the capital and go to Anseong to be the lord of the city.

So An Nan soon went to Ancheng again, this time with Zhou Zhan. Zhou Zhan is just a famous and powerless marquis, and it doesn't matter where he goes, so the new emperor doesn't care about him.

The new emperor was able to ascend the throne only because he was the first to capture the capital, not because he suppressed the rebellions of the vassal kings in various places, in fact, now only the original territory of the new emperor and several towns along the way to the capital are under the control of the new emperor, and other places are still in the hands of the vassal king, and the war still has to be fought, so An Nan's sea ship to Ancheng is once again full of refugees who are willing to go to other places to find a way to survive.

The construction of Anseong proceeded in an orderly manner, and there were no problems even if Annan was not there, but this time Annan came back and saw a brand new city.

The new refugees looked at the thriving scene before them, the bright smiles on the faces of the passers-by, and the endless green fields full of hope, as if they saw a paradise away from the misery of war......

"Look at what! In the future, these fields will have your share! We are also the people of the Celestial Empire who escaped the war and followed the Lord of Anjo to come here, let's all support each other together, and the future will be good......" An old farmer with a furrow face and a smile like a chrysanthemum patted the newcomer who had just come off the sea boat, and said happily.

"Is there really our share of these fields?" The newly arrived refugee asked incredulously.

"Of course! These are the lands of the Anseong Lord, as long as the fields we have cultivated can be rented to us for farming, as long as we pay a tenth% of the rent! Yicheng, the city lord of Ancheng simply let us plant it for nothing! She's a good person...... Brought us here, and built us a city......" The old farmer said and his eyes turned red.

"Where would we have thought of such a good life? Following the Lord of Ancheng to the sea is just to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, anyway, there is nothing left, it will not be worse, who knows that it will really be bitter......"
