Not long after Lu Linchu arrived in Wengcheng, aristocratic families from all over Jiangzuo came to him one after another to persuade him to ascend the throne, urging King Liyang to put the overall situation first and establish a country and become emperor.

Lu Chen's arrow wound had not yet healed, and he felt quite confused as he read the petitions for permission to ascend the throne.

The princess sent another letter personally, in which she mentioned the matter of settling her adopted daughter Cui Ying, as well as suggestions for appeasing Lu Linfeng.

After calling his son, Lu Linchu helped him to sit down at the coffee table after he dismissed everyone.

After Lu Chen handed the letter to his son, Lu Linchu's face lit up with joy: "The country has not yet been founded, but mother has thought so carefully about everything that will happen after the founding of the country. It must be Guiyun's idea."

Lu Chen thought about it and felt relieved: "Yun'er is a smart girl and very thoughtful. Last year, she begged your mother to stock up on grain. Not only did she help the entire Jiangzuo survive the snowstorm, but she also prepared enough food for this war. You, this evil creature, really married a good wife."

But when I heard that he brought Chu Huaixi to the front line, I felt quite dissatisfied.

"Guiyun is indeed a rare virtuous woman in this world."

Thinking of her help to the palace, Lu Linchu admired her from the bottom of his heart.

It was the rumors spread about her and the fourth brother that always bothered him.

Anyway, the fourth brother can only stay in Liyang City in the future and can't cause any trouble. If he dares to have any evil thoughts, it will be a matter of a snap of a finger for me to kill him, so I don't bother to care about it anymore.

"Father, Song Weizhao is now in great power. The reason why Chen Lin surrendered to him is because we are his subjects, and the founding of the country cannot be delayed."

Lu Linchu urged: "The Nine Cauldrons and Jade Seals are all here, and our Lu family is a righteous army that received the imperial edict from the previous emperor. Father should follow the will of heaven and establish the country and succeed to the throne."

Lu Chen covered the arrow wound on his chest, coughed a few times, lowered his eyebrows and stared at the letter in front of him, and asked: "I am very pleased that my son can have such insight, but after the founding of the country, your mother mentioned the matter of Ying'er and Lin Feng, how do you plan to respond?"

"Right now, we should focus on the overall situation. What Guiyun thinks is what I think."

Lu Linchu smiled and said, "Big brother is still unmarried, and Ying'er is still unmarried. Since Big brother has helped my Lu family to pacify Jiurong, why not enthrone him as a vassal king and make Ying'er his concubine? This way, we can unite as one and work together to fight against the rebels in the Northern Territory."

Lu Chen smiled with relief, and his eyes suddenly became deep as he looked at him: "How should your fourth brother be settled?"

Facing his father's probing eyes, Lu Linchu calmly put away his anger and smiled: "Fourth brother has been loyal over the years. In this Pingnan Campaign, the Liren Gang captured Dongyi and destroyed the Yunwei Corps. He has made great contributions. Why not confer him the title of Pingnan Loyal and Brave King and grant him the title of Loyal King as a reward."

"Lord?"

Lu Chen was very satisfied with this, but when he thought about how Lu Linfeng disregarded the safety of the entire clan and the people in Liyang City and led his troops to Yunding City without authorization, although he captured Jiurong and made up for his mistake, it was ultimately a violation of military orders and he was branded as disrespectful and unfilial.

So, he picked up a pen and wrote the word "li" on the paper as a warning.

"I'll confer the title of King of Li on Lin Feng. I hope he can understand his father's painstaking efforts."

Lu Chen handed the written paper to his son and continued, "As for the name of the country, you can send Lu Jin back to the capital and ask Yun'er and the relatives of the Ye and Lu families to discuss and then make a decision. The list of names of honor and rewards will be drawn up at that time."

Lu Linchu was delighted that his long-cherished wish had finally come true. He immediately wrote down what he had agreed with his father in a letter and asked Lu Jin to send it back.

Fu Guiyun learned that his father-in-law not only agreed with his and Lu Linzhi's proposals, but also entrusted him with the matter of naming the country. Although he was happy, he also felt unprecedented pressure.

In her previous life, although Song Weizhao had also made such a request, in order to appease the Alkh Iron Cavalry, she did not want to argue with Nalan Yiqing and let her vent her anger on innocent people, so she pushed all these vanity-satisfying things to her.

She has always known Nalan Yiqing's personality. Although he is arrogant and petty, he also values ​​fairness. Many things can be negotiated as long as her vanity is satisfied.

After all, she was in control of the army at that time, so she didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

Now that she could finally make her own decision, she summoned the clan elders to the Circular Hall and took the lead in expressing her wish to bury her two lives.

"The name of the country means eternal prosperity. I have lived through turbulent times and have seen the devastation everywhere. I only wish that the people can live long and the world can be peaceful. How about naming the country with the word 'Ning'?"

"Da Ning?"

Everyone was talking to each other, but Lu Linzhi felt quite sad listening to them.

She lived two lives and never thought about her own wishes, but was always concerned about the people of the world.

Such a determination is truly admirable.

"Very good."

He immediately stated: "The people live long and the country is peaceful, which just shows the ambition of the founding monarch. It can also warn the successor monarch not to abandon the will of the ancestors."

After thinking about it, he also advised: "As for choosing the capital, Dongyi is a strategic pass that can be used for both advance and retreat. It is the most suitable place to be the capital of Daning."

The relatives of the Ye and Lu families were very satisfied with the proposal of the uncle and sister-in-law. Ye Zhilan also quite agreed with it. After the list of rewards was finalized, he immediately sent Lu Jin back to Wengcheng.

When the entire Jiangzuo was immersed in joy, an urgent letter from the north bank of Liyang was delivered to the city wall, which immediately broke the joyful atmosphere.

"Send the imperial seal to Yundu and pledge allegiance to Song Weizhao?"

Thinking of the unbearable group of Fu family members, Lu Linchu couldn't help but laugh: "Is Fu Ping worth such a heavy price for my Lu family?"

"Asshole."

Lu Chen scolded: "He is your father-in-law, Yun'er is your first wife, and the entire Fu family is also your clansman. Do you think it's worth it?"

"Father, even if he is my father-in-law, we cannot submit to a shameless traitor like Song Weizhao who killed the king and betrayed the country."

Lu Linchu's eyes darkened. "It's just a competition of who is more despicable and shameless. Song Weizhao can threaten the entire Guiyun clan. We hold his biological parents in our hands. I don't believe that he would rather be a puppet of the Alkh people than give up his parents."

"You evil creature."

Lu Chen was so angry that he was burning with rage: "How can you use someone's parents as bargaining chips in a power game? Do you want to be ridiculed by the world? How is this different from Song Weizhao?"

Lu Linchu choked suddenly.

He originally disdained to do such a dirty thing, but Song Weizhao was really going too far.

At this time, Lu Bing came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Old Uncle Song wants to see you."

The father and son looked at each other, and Lu Chen hurriedly said, "Please come in."

As soon as Song Xiang was brought in, Lu Chen began to explain: "Old uncle, don't worry too much. I am not so shameless as to use you and your wife to force your son to withdraw from the army."

Song Xiang said, "Your Highness, there is no need to say more. My son has committed a heinous crime that cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth. I am willing to go to the front of the two armies to relieve your worries."

"You don't have to do this, old man."

Lu Linchu advised: "I just said that in anger, don't take it to heart. You and the old lady are the distinguished guests that the Crown Prince's wife risked her life to invite back, and I will never neglect you."
