Chapter Seventy-Six: Catching the Moon with the Stars and Arriving in Yunjing
Long Lan said dissatisfiedly: "Xiaolan is also called by you, and you will be called Sister Lan in the future, you are not the emperor now."
As soon as these words came out, Liang Hao was embarrassed, but it caused the people around him to laugh, Liang Yuan couldn't help but say: "Haha, I like the girl of the Long family more and more, remember to bring Hao'er back to see my old man in the future"
Long Lan said with a smile: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will protect him, and there will definitely not be a single hair missing."
Hearing Long Lan call grandpa, Liang Yuan was even more happy, but Yang Luochen said: "You protect him, he is a mid-level master of the Heavenly Rank, you have only reached the lower level of the Heavenly Rank, and you can save and protect me."
The people present couldn't believe that this little emperor who seemed to be weak and weak was actually a martial artist in the middle of the Tiantian rank, Liang Hao said embarrassedly: "It's all taught by the master."
Yang Luochen didn't want to dwell on this matter, the most important thing now was to hurry, and when they arrived at other Liang Yuan and Long Lan, they borrowed some fast horses, and Blood Shadow Guard and Yang Luochen passed directly through the battlefield and came to the southern border of Yun Kingdom.
Yang Tian hurriedly called someone to open the door, they entered the military camp of Yunguo, Yang Chengfeng complained to Yang Luochen dissatisfied, because he was knocked unconscious and sent back.
After that, Yang Luochen explained the matter of Da Liang, and also told Yang Tian and Yang Chengfeng separately about Da Liang Yudu, as well as the jade sword.
Yang Tian couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time after listening to it, and only after a long time did he take a deep breath and said: "In the end, what I got was the news of death, and I waited for more than 20 years."
Yang Luochen felt that Yang Tian had aged a lot in an instant, and said comfortingly: "Grandpa, if you don't find the body, it means that there is still hope, no one knows what's in the capital, maybe the two uncles escaped, didn't I come back well?"
Yang Luochen didn't have confidence in his heart when he said these words, but he couldn't watch Yang Tian feel down. Yang Tian also knew Yang Luochen's kindness, and the one in front of him recovered a little, and said slowly: "No matter what, I will enshrine their relics first, so that I can have comfort."
After that, Yang Luochen inquired about the fire spirit jade, but Yang Tian didn't know the origin of the jade, he just said that he had been by his side since he was a child, and he only gave it to Yang Luochen after Yang Luochen was born, and he didn't know the secret inside, nor did he know the relationship with Yang Jiu.
Many things were full of doubts, but Yang Luochen had no time to scruple now, because the trial of the White Cloud Sect was about to start, and Ye Xuan and Long Yu had already gone back in advance.
After explaining to Yang Tian and them, and also telling Long Zhan about Long Lan's situation, Yang Luochen left the southern frontier of Yunguo, and quickly thought about Yunjing along the way.
He originally wanted to ask about the temple, but he had to give up when time was urgent, expecting Long Lan and them to have a result.
There are still two days left before the trial of Baiyun Sect, Yang Luochen and the others finally rushed to Yunjing, it's not that Yang Luochen doesn't want to go to Baten Mountain, it's just that there are still some things to explain on the side of Yunguo, and they are afraid that Ouyang Jin will ruin all his hard work.
After arriving in Yunjing, Yang Luochen went back to Yang's house first, reported his safety to Mu Lingxiang, and asked about the Qilin Sword by the way.
"Chen'er, this sword is indeed for the Mu family, your grandfather saw it when he was a child, and later came to the royal family, and then it was also given to you by the first emperor. But the origin of this sword, no one in the Mu family knows"
"Your grandfather said, since this sword is a treasure, it will be handed over to you, maybe you can unlock the secret of the Mu family, or you can always bless you safely."
Yang Luochen didn't postpone it, took the Qilin Sword and looked at it carefully, he couldn't see anything strange at all, and asked, "Where the Mu family doesn't have this sword?"
Mu Lingxiang said slowly: "I went to the Mu family's old house with your grandfather, where the mountains and rivers are a quiet place, but it has fallen into disrepair and has not lived."
"Your grandfather lived there since he was a child, and there is nothing strange about it, and he doesn't know where this sword was originally stored, if you have time to see for yourself, maybe you can find something."
Yang Luochen was a little lost in his heart, there were too many puzzles along the way, he himself almost forgot what was important, and he didn't have to be curious about what could be saved at all, so he could only say: "Mother, I will keep this sword first, and when I come back from Baiyun Sect, I will definitely go to the Mu family's old mansion to see it in person."
Nothing was found about the Qilin Sword here, Yang Luochen ran directly to the palace, Ouyang Jin knew that Yang Luochen was back, and he had been waiting in the imperial study. At night, Yang Luochen went to the imperial study to see Ouyang Jin.
"Your Majesty, let me tell you about the princess first," Yang Luochen said.
"No need, I know about Ling'er, the White Cloud Sect has already sent me a message. As for the two of you, I don't have that power to participate in it, it's all up to your creation."
Yang Luochen sighed lightly, and then continued: "Weichen's Daliang and his party this time, not to mention the success, can be regarded as having achieved the goal, and Daliang will send a letter to discuss with His Majesty the time to sign an armistice agreement."
"When the time comes, please ask Your Majesty to go to southern Xinjiang in person, if Your Majesty is unwilling, you can also be done by a trustworthy person."
Ouyang Jin didn't have a smile on his face, but asked flatly, "Do you know how many people will oppose me if I decide to sign an agreement?"
"The minister knows, this is also what Weichen wants to tell His Majesty. They don't want His Majesty to sign, but His Majesty insists on signing it, then the consequence is that people will continue to impeach my Yang family, until the Yang family completely collapses, and the thoughts of His Majesty that those people have changed will not stop."
"What do you think I'm going to do?"
Yang Luochen was stunned for a moment, this question was asked, as if Yang Luochen was his right-hand man, Yang Luochen hurriedly said: "Weichen is dull, Weichen doesn't know"
Ouyang Jin said slowly: "There are no outsiders now, you better tell me the truth, I know that you have the most ghost ideas, so you should talk to me."
Yang Luochen said: "Your Majesty, the agreement must be signed, but it must be signed reasonably, otherwise they will not accept it."
"What's legitimate?"
"First of all, my Yang family must hand over all the military power and launch the Yunguo stage from now on, so that they can rest assured, and Your Majesty can also rest assured" After Yang Luochen finished saying this, Ouyang Jin asked without any expression.
"What does this matter have to do with your Yang family?"
Yang Luochen no longer groveled, straightened his waist, walked leisurely in the imperial study, and said: "Your Majesty, I am honest, you still hide it from me, I'm afraid it's not good."
Ouyang Jin smiled, also got up, and asked, "It turns out that you already know my thoughts." To tell the truth, I can't do without your Yang family, but I also have to let your Yang family retreat, otherwise I won't be able to sleep and eat, and they will sleep soundly."
Yang Luochen said slowly: "Your Majesty, do you think that I alone know what you have to think? Prime Minister Ye also knows, so he targets my Yang family everywhere, and those people also know it, and they are against the Yang family everywhere." But these people know that they can't bring down my Yang family, and Your Majesty can't touch my Yang family."
"Yunguo is in such a balance of open and secret fighting. Once my Yang family is wrecked, it will plunge Yunguo into turmoil, and this discerning person knows it. My Yang family has long reached the point where the tree is very popular, but it is deeply rooted and difficult to uproot."
"If my Yang family doesn't take the initiative to quit and blindly covet this powerful person, it won't end well after all, but the people of Yunguo don't have a good life, and it may cause great turmoil. Your Majesty doesn't want to see this kind of thing, they don't want to see it, and my Yang family doesn't want to see it."
After listening to Yang Luochen's words, Ouyang Jin exhaled and said: "Luochen, if you are my son, I will definitely pass on the throne to you, but unfortunately you are not, I can't pass this position to a foreign surname."
Yang Luochen also smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I have no interest in this position at all, let me tell you the truth, the original emperor of Daliang was my apprentice, and now the emperor of Daliang is my brother, and a little change has happened."
"The reason why I can see so clearly is that I am a bystander, unlike you, Your Majesty, who are in it, sometimes you can't understand and can't figure it out. I don't do so much for Your Majesty's position, just for the people of Yun Country"
"It's better to spend your taxes every year on people's livelihood than on those useless wars. Although Yunguo is now peaceful, the people at the bottom are not happy. I'm just doing this to make those soldiers die less, and that war doesn't make any sense at all."
"If Your Majesty wants to expand the territory and incorporate the territory of Daliang into the Yun Kingdom, the minister also advises Your Majesty not to do this. Although the land of Daliang is only half of the Cloud Country, those soldiers will never give in in order to survive."
"Besides, the minister also told His Majesty about the situation of Daliang, this time back, the minister also wants to tell His Majesty in detail, the crack of Daliang is getting bigger and bigger, that kind of power is beyond the reach of manpower, if Your Majesty encroaches on Daliang, then you will have to face the crack in Xudu"
Ouyang Jin pondered, and then asked: "Then how do you guarantee that Da Liang will not invade the Cloud Kingdom in order to survive, this reason is very far-fetched."
Yang Luochen said slowly: "In terms of the current situation, Daliang is simply unable to compete with Yunguo, instead of encroaching on the land of Yunguo, it is better to develop people's livelihood well, first of all, to strengthen the people and enrich the country, this period of time will be at least twenty years."
"And this stable twenty years of development is not enough to compete with the cloud country, because the cloud country is also developing, if the cloud country stops, then the ministers will not dare to guarantee the future of twenty years. ”
"Besides, Your Majesty annexes Daliang by force, it is better to let the people of Daliang voluntarily come to Yunguo, and once the living environment of Daliang deteriorates, there will be a steady stream of Daliang people willing to become the people of Yunguo, and Daliang will be self-defeating."
After listening to Yang Luochen's words, Ouyang Jin looked at him incredulously, and said with a sigh: "Luochen, I now find that I am not as good as you, if you are in my position, Yun Guo may be able to become the number one power."
"This Baiyun Sect trial, if you pass, I will be happy for you, if you don't pass, the position of my prime minister will be left to you, and you will be assisted by the new emperor and the post of Taifu. But your Yang family must retire."
Yang Luochen shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I talked to my grandfather and my father when I came back, and when they came back this time, I will resign from all positions, and I hope that Your Majesty will approve and find a quiet place to let my grandfather spend the rest of his life in peace."
"The Yang family has worked hard for Yunguo for three generations, and my two uncles also died in battle, my grandfather is really tired, and it is a pity if he does not protect it at the end of the night. ”
Ouyang Jin was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Brother Yang is also ......"
"Your Majesty, my Yang family has made up my mind, and I will read to Your Majesty that my Yang family has always been loyal to, so let's go to my Yang family. I'm here tonight mainly to tell Your Majesty this, and Grandpa asked me to tell Your Majesty first to be mentally prepared."
Ouyang Jin really didn't expect this to happen, and asked, "Your Yang family is gone, what should I do with the Yun Kingdom army?"
Yang Luochen said: "Your Majesty, after so many years, the Yun Kingdom has also cultivated a lot of generals, although my Yang family has a high prestige in the army and many old departments, but it is also the result of many years of governing the army. ”
"Now Yunguo is full of talents, and there are many capable people in the army, and they have been buried because of my Yang family. Bai Qing's son Bai Zijing is not one, Long Yu is also one, and there are many others. ”
"Over the years, my grandfather and my father have been cultivating their younger generations, just hoping that one day they can leave with peace of mind and no longer get involved in this troubled court, they are tired, and now they just want to find a quiet place to enjoy their old age"
Ouyang Jin was a little distracted for a while, because he didn't expect this at all, he thought that he was going to have a contest with the Yang family, not to mention tearing his face, at least it would cause a big turmoil.
This matter started with Qi Yangping's incident, and until just now, Ouyang Jin was thinking about how to deal with the Yang family's affairs in the most reasonable way, because once the Yang family's affairs were not handled well, the Yun Kingdom might be doomed.
But Yang Luochen's words tonight completely made Ouyang Jin lose the ability to think, and he had to admire the Yang family, admire his father, and think in his heart: "What my father said is really right, the Yun country has the Yang family, and the military is worry-free."
Ouyang Jin looked at Yang Luochen and said affirmatively: "Luochen, I believe in you, what I left for you just now is still the same." If the Yang family retreats, I will definitely choose a good place to settle down, and I will never treat any of your Yang family badly, but once something happens to the Yun Kingdom, your Yang family will return to the court without hesitation."
Yang Luochen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you should keep this with my grandfather and tell them, I don't call the shots now, the Yang family or the old man has the final say."
Ouyang Jin nodded, remembered something and asked, "Do you remember the person who harmed you in the first place?"
Yang Luochen heard Ouyang Jin ask about this, his face was not good-looking, he nodded, and said, "Your Majesty, why do you bother to ask, I will find them to settle their accounts in the future."
Ouyang Jin sighed and said, "You should do your own business with peace of mind, I will still do their business for you."
Yang Luochen didn't postpone it, and said, "Then thank Your Majesty."
Ouyang Jin waved his hand and said, "You will set off tonight and strive to arrive before dark tomorrow." Ten were found in the martial arts conference, plus you, Blood Shadow Guard, Long Yu, Ye Xuan, Ye Ming, and Tianyou, a total of twenty-six. I've already reported it, but I didn't count the girl next to you."
Yang Luochen nodded, and then asked, "What about the crown prince, the second prince and the third prince?"
"They didn't pass, and the situation was similar to yours, so I won't let them be ashamed. As for you, I believe that you will not be willing to let you go, so I still reported you. Luo Chen, you can give me a good chance."
Yang Luochen knew that Ouyang Jin had won it, and he was also grateful in his heart, but Ouyang Jin then asked: "Luo Chen, you said that after a hundred years, who of those three boys can take over this important task?"
Yang Luochen never thought that Ouyang Jin would ask this question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, Ouyang Jin didn't urge, and said to himself: "I want Tianyou to take over, how can he cultivate his true qualifications are okay, I can't delay him." But now I'm very worried about the future of the Cloud Kingdom, Luo Chen, if you come back, you must help assist in the new home, and I can rest assured"
