Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

After the old emperor learned that the concubine was dead, and that Zhao Xu's eldest son and grandson had also died, although he was a little sad, he still did not admit his mistake. Even after the concubine died, he did not let her enter the imperial mausoleum.

He even ordered that all traces of the concubine’s deeds be wiped out as much as possible.

This aggravated Zhao Yan and Lin Zhi's worries. They were afraid that if the old emperor knew that the concubine's son was still alive, they would do everything possible to target the concubine's son.

Therefore, Zhao Yan and Lin Zhi kept this secret secret for ten years.

It was not until ten years later, when the old emperor died of illness and Zhao Xu succeeded to the throne, that Zhao Yan accidentally confessed to Zhao Xu that Zhao Xu still missed his concubine.

It was not until that time that Zhao Xu knew that he and his concubine had a child.

In order to repay Zhao Yan and Lin Zhi for their efforts, they even handed over the bones of their own flesh and blood in order to protect Lin Yi. Therefore, Zhao Xu wanted to give Zhao Yan and Lin Zhi some rewards.

This includes a hereditary princely title.

But at that time, Zhao Xu had just ascended the throne and his foundation was unstable. Neither Zhao Yan nor Lin Zhi wanted Zhao Xu to make it difficult, so they decisively refused.

Until Zhao Yan and Lin Zhi died because of Daxia's tragic defeat at the Sakura Kingdom in the great sea battle, and their blood and blood attacked their hearts and souls, Zhao Xu felt guilty about being ashamed of his concubine, Lin Yi, and Zhao Yan and his wife. Let Zhao Xu explode completely.

So, after three months and more than [-] ministers being dismissed from their positions, Zhao Xuqiang promoted Lin Yi to become Prince Rui.

After that, Zhao Xu doted on Lin Yi even more unscrupulously, hoping to make up for his love for his concubine and Lin Yi when he was a child.

Like Zhao Xu, Zhang Yan's maternal love began to overflow when she learned that Lin Yi was the concubine's surviving son.

Because she also knew that even though she was the main concubine appointed by the old emperor, without the concubine's nod, she, Zhang Yan, would not be able to enter the royal family at all.

Therefore, Zhang Yan was also grateful to the side concubine. In addition, the side concubine had always treated her as respectfully as the main concubine after she entered the East Palace, so Zhang Yan could not find any fault.

As the concubine died of illness, Zhang Yan also felt deeply for her.

After knowing that Zhao Xu took the initiative to tell Zhang Yan that Lin Yi was the concubine's surviving son, Zhang Yan also supported Zhao Xu in giving Lin Yi a prince title.

Therefore, with the help of Zhang Yan's family, Zhao Xu was able to push Lin Yi to the position of prince within three months.

Perhaps in Zhang Yan's view, for the sake of the stability of the empire, Zhao Xu would not change the status of prince, her biological son Zhao Xi, so she should support Zhao Xu in giving Lin Yi the title of prince.

After all, no matter how you say it, Lin Yi and Zhao Xu have a parent-child relationship, so it makes sense to compensate them for a princely title.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu slowly woke up from his memories. He looked at the information about Luo Chen on the desk in front of him.

"Luo Chen, Luo Chen, do you really think that since you are a veteran of three dynasties, I don't dare to kill you?"

"This time, you have really gone too far. If you dare to say such a thing to others, I will kill you!"

Zhao Xu gritted his teeth and muttered silently in his heart that he was waiting to get rid of Luo Chen after Wang Jinzhong got more evidence.

Although, at this time, the entire capital was in an undercurrent, Lin Yi, the protagonist of the whole matter, had no awareness of being in the whirlpool.

He still goes fishing in the courtyard of the palace every day, and then waits for good news from Korea.

Such good news did not keep Lin Yi waiting for too long. One month after Lin Yi issued the order, good news came from Goryeo.

The pair, Mo Shoucheng and Ding Yi, began to assemble an army after receiving Lin Yi's order.

When they gathered the four divisions of Yong Xiang's army to the border, Li Xi and Cui Dongxu issued a message at the same time, requesting the Daxia Empire to send troops to enter the country to quell the civil war in Goryeo.

The Daxia Empire also immediately responded to Li Xi and Cui Dongxu, saying that the Daxia Empire would cross the border and enter Goryeo from now on.

At the same time, Li Fu, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Daxia Empire, called on all parties to lay down their weapons and accept the mediation of the Daxia Empire.

Once the imperial soldiers find someone holding weapons and disrupting the political situation of Goryeo, they will be regarded as enemies of the empire.

At the same time, Imperial Military Minister Pan Chengzhang issued orders to the Yongxiang Army on the front line to cross the border and suppress the Goryeo Civil War.

As long as the army arrives, those who still hold weapons are enemies of the empire and need to be eliminated.

It was only then that Zheng Zaixu realized that he had been abandoned by Daxia.

Originally, he thought that Daxia's previous talk of intervening in the Goryeo Civil War was just a joke.

And isn’t he an ally of Daxia? Why did he become Da Xia's target overnight?

Zheng Zaixu, who did not respond in time, could only first bring back the troops from the border and deploy them near Pyongyang, hoping to use this as a threat to negotiate with Daxia.

However, Mo Shoucheng and Ding Yi, two war fanatics, did not give Zheng Zaixu a chance to speak.

When they arrived in Pyongyang, they found that Zheng Zaixu had already set up defensive positions. Without even warning, he directly ordered Yong Xiang's army to attack.

Under the powerful attack of the four divisions of Yongxiang Army, Zheng Zaixu deployed positions outside Pyongyang and lost them all within three days.

On the fourth day of the siege, Yongxiang's army broke through the east and north walls of Pyongyang City and entered Pyongyang from two directions.

Under the powerful firepower of the empire's [-]-year-old semi-automatic rifle, Zheng Zaixu's army, who was preparing to engage in a street battle with Long Xiang's army, was directly suppressed and beaten by Long Xiang's army.

Is there a stronghold or a bunker? Direct mortar fire coverage.

Someone was guarding the room and wanted to launch a sneak attack. The grenade was thrown directly through the window and it was solved in one go.

As for if they want to concentrate their forces and eat up the small group of Longxiang Army, then the semi-automatic rifles in the hands of the soldiers directly provide a firepower advantage, which in turn suppresses the attack of Zheng Zaixu Army.

With all conditions unfavorable, Yong Xiang's army took Pyongyang and captured Zheng Zaixu alive in only five days.

In these five days, Yong Xiang's army restrained its attack. Otherwise, with the powerful firepower of Yong Xiang's army, the entire Pyongyang would have been leveled long ago.

They captured Pyongyang in eight days. Such a record directly frightened Cui Dongxu's army in Seoul.

At first, they expressed disdain for Cui Dongxu's behavior of surrendering before the fight started.

But when they saw Zheng Zaixu's miserable state, the officers on Cui Dongxu's side all praised Cui Dongxu for his sharp vision and profound knowledge.

Therefore, none of the officers on Cui Dongxu's side dared to show their teeth at Long Xiangjun.

The remaining ten days were all the time Long Xiang's army wasted taking over the entire territory of Goryeo.

After the entire territory of Goryeo was controlled by Yongjian's army, Li Xi once again sent electricity to the entire Goryeo.

He said that he was incompetent and could not lead Goryeo to become rich and powerful, and could not bring stability to the people of Goryeo. Therefore, he determined to merge Goryeo into Daxia.

On Daxia's side, Li Fu immediately expressed his approval of Goryeo's incorporation into the empire, and also announced that the Goryeo area would be tax-free for three years. After that, all the welfare benefits of Goryeo citizens would be consistent with those of citizens in the mainland of the empire.

This is not unacceptable to a tributary country like Goryeo, which is already highly Chinese.

Especially since the Great Sea War, Goryeo has been in chaos for nearly ten years. Almost a generation has been living in the war. When they suddenly heard that they could be merged into Daxia, many people even expressed joy and excitement.
