The Invincible Sixth Prince

Chapter 1285: The King's Edict

Outside Qiming City.

The confused Wang Chi led the civil and military officials of the Le Dynasty to surrender outside the city.

Wang Chi knelt on the ground, holding the national seal of the Li Dynasty in both hands and handed it to Yun Zheng.

The Great Seal is very light.

But it's heavy.

The pressure made Wang Chi's hands tremble constantly, as if he would be unable to hold up the national seal at any time.

"I, the guilty minister, lead all the officials of our dynasty and beg His Majesty to accept our dynasty's surrender..."

Wang Chi spoke with a trembling voice, feeling grief, anger and fear in his heart.

They surrendered several days later than the time stipulated by Yun Zheng.

He didn't know whether Yun Zheng would take advantage of this to cause trouble.

He also didn't know that Yun Zheng would treat him like this.

Now, he is at the mercy of others.

His destiny is no longer under his control.

Liu Xianghe quickly stepped forward, took the national seal from Wang Chi, and respectfully handed it to Yun Zheng.

Yun Zheng picked up the national seal, took a symbolic look at it, and then handed it to the guard beside him.

Yun Zheng took a deep breath and said loudly: "On behalf of Daqian and my father, I accept your surrender!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone expressed their gratitude, and many people felt relieved.

As long as Yun Zheng accepts their surrender, it will be fine.

At this moment, many people were secretly cursing Wang Chi in their hearts.

It would be great if you surrendered early!

After all this twists and turns, isn't it time to surrender in the end?

This made them very nervous these days, fearing that Yun Zheng would not accept the surrender of the Le Dynasty and would insist on destroying the Le Dynasty.

"Everyone get up!"

Yun Zheng waved his hand gently.

Everyone thanked him again and slowly got up from the ground.

Wang Chi's legs were a little weak, and he failed to get up after trying twice. It was only with the help of the eunuch next to him that he finally got up with difficulty.

Until this moment, Wang Chi could finally raise his eyes and look at the King of Jingbei who had plunged him into a nightmare.

Yun Zheng seemed to be even younger than him.

There was no arrogance of a winner on Yun Zheng's face, not even much joy.

There was a steadiness on his face that was inconsistent with his age.

Yes, it’s steady!

Or, confidence!

It seemed that all this was under his control.

"King Li, follow me into the city!"

Yun Zheng smiled and raised his hand to invite him.

King Li!

Yun Zheng's name says it all.

There is no more emperor in the Le Dynasty!

Only King Li!

After that, there was no more Le Dynasty.

Only the Kingdom of Li!

"Yes Yes……"

Wang Chi forced a smile and raised his hand to invite him: "Your Majesty, please!"

"please!"

Yun Zheng responded, and then he mounted his horse again, and at the same time ordered the messenger beside him: "Order Wang Qi's troops to collect all the weapons and armor of the surrendered soldiers, and all the surrendered soldiers must return to the camp! Anyone who dares to leave without permission will be executed!"

"Yes!"

The messenger received the order and quickly went to pass the message to Wang Qi who was leading his troops to take over the city defense.

Led by Wang Chi and the officials, Yun Zheng came to the palace of the Li Dynasty.

The palace of the Le Dynasty is naturally incomparable to the palace of Daqian.

Yun Zheng estimated that the Li Dynasty's imperial palace was probably less than a quarter of the size of the Daqian Imperial Palace.

When they entered the palace, the concubines and servants were all kneeling on the ground.

Everyone knelt on the ground, with their foreheads lightly touching the ground, fearing that Yun Zheng would take their lives if he was unhappy.

However, Yun Zheng had no intention of looking at these people. He just casually looked around the Li Dynasty's palace.

Due to Wang Shu's sudden death, the Le Dynasty was still in a period of national mourning, and the spirit banners and white cloth in the palace were still there.

Looking up, I saw white everywhere.

These things seemed to be a funeral for Wang Shu.

It also seemed like a funeral for the Le Dynasty.

Finally, they arrived at the Council Hall of the Le Dynasty Imperial Palace.

However, Yun Zheng just took a look outside the hall and did not enter.

Yun Zheng turned around and looked at Wang Chi: "Prince Li, please follow me!"

Wang Chi was startled, but he didn't dare to refuse and could only nod in agreement.

Yun Zheng walked in front with Wang Chi, while Miaoyin followed behind with several guards.

After walking a distance, Yun Zheng looked at Wang Chi with a smile, "To be honest, you are quite lucky."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chi's face couldn't help but twitch.

lucky?

You still call yourself lucky?

Less than an hour after he took the throne, he was driven off the throne by him, becoming the emperor with the shortest reign in the history of the Le Dynasty!

Is this also called good luck?

He was clearly laughing at his own joke.

Wang Chi resisted the urge to curse Yun Zheng and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying. "Your Majesty is right. I am very lucky to be alive."

"That's not what I'm talking about, and I'm not trying to make fun of you."

Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "To be honest, I originally wanted Qiu Shanjun to be the King of Li, but Qiu Shanjun died suddenly due to a heart attack. Now, only you can be the King of Li."

"Yes Yes……"

Wang Chi tried hard to smile, but he was secretly confused in his heart.

He didn't know why Yun Zheng told him this.

But since Yun Zheng said it, there must be a purpose.

Yun Zheng glanced at him from the corner of his eye and smiled, "Actually, to me and Daqian, it doesn't matter which of you is the King of Li. I will not stay and will not interfere too much in your internal affairs."

"Since ancient times, your country has been a vassal state of our Central Plains Dynasty. You must remember this clearly."

"As long as you abide by the duties of a vassal state, Daqian and I will not make things difficult for you!"

Wang Chi heard it and understood it in his heart.

This is Yun Zheng’s warning.

It's all the same no matter who becomes King Li!

Yun Zheng can make himself the King of Li, or he can let someone else be the King of Li!

If he doesn't listen, Yun Zheng will replace him with someone else who is obedient!

Wang Chi swallowed his anger and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will abide by our duties and will never dare to overstep our boundaries again."

"That's good."

Yun Zheng nodded slightly, "I will send someone to discuss the tribute with you later. I am not asking you for a lot of things, but before I go to war, my father issued an order that if your country recognizes that it is a vassal state of my Central Plains Dynasty, then you have to pay back the tribute owed for hundreds of years..."

As Yun Zheng finished his words, Wang Chi stopped abruptly.

Hundreds of years of tribute?

Pay it back?

He said it easily.

This is hundreds of years of tribute!

How to repay this?

Even if we dig up the floor tiles in the palace and sell them, it still wouldn't be enough to pay back the debt!

He knew that Yun Zheng would ask for a huge sum of money, but he didn't expect that Yun Zheng's appetite was so big.

"Your Majesty, this... this..."

Wang Chi's voice trembled, and he hesitated for a long time before wailing: "We can't afford it!"

"I'm not asking you to pay it back in one or two years." Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "You can pay it back slowly!"

"Besides, it's not necessary for you to pay back all the tributes you've paid over the past few hundred years!"

"Father, you are just saying it casually on impulse! But there is a saying in my dynasty that a king should never joke."

"At the beginning, you must pay more tribute so that I can have an explanation to my father."

"To be honest, I am actually competing with my third brother for that position."

"So, you understand what I mean, don't you?"

Listening to Yun Zheng's words, Miaoyin behind him couldn't help but slander secretly.

This shameless thing!

When he took the blame, he didn't forget his father...
