Chapter 196: Overthrow of the Song Dynasty

The Ming army fought all the way to Lin'an, the capital of the Song court.

At this time, the emperor of the Song Dynasty began to get anxious and kept sending officials to try to negotiate with the Ming army, hoping that the Ming army would take a step back and give the Song court a chance to breathe.

Faced with the imminent annihilation of the Song court, the Ming army showed no mercy and directly dispatched a large number of troops to completely surround the Song court's Lin'an.

Faced with such a predicament, the Song court finally could not hold on.

In the end, Emperor Zhao Kuo of the Song Dynasty, together with his civil and military ministers, held up the imperial seal of the Song Dynasty, opened the city and surrendered to the Ming army.

After the fall of the Song Dynasty, the Ming army took over all of the Song Dynasty's resources.

In order to demonstrate the kindness of the Ming army, Chen An did not kill any Song Dynasty officials or royal family members.

All these people were simply demoted to civilians and assigned to various places to work on the farm.

After all, in Chen An's opinion, no matter how capable these people are, they are not as loyal as those who practice the Yin-Yang Resonance Method.

In the Lin'an Palace, since occupying the entire territory of the Song court, Chen An's family also moved here from Shuzhong.

"Your Majesty, we have now occupied the entire territory of Song Ting. Please take the throne!"

The Minister of Rites Li Bin stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Chen An, and then spoke.

"It's still too early. If you want to be crowned emperor, you have to wait until we have recovered all of China's inherent territories, including the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun."

Chen An shook his head, looked at Li Bin calmly, and spoke to Li Bin.

"Your Majesty, why bother? With the strength of our Ming army, it is easy to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and the land in the north. What difference does it make if we recover it one day earlier or one day later?"

After hearing what Chen An said, the Minister of War Liu Yong spoke to Chen An indifferently.

"You're exaggerating a bit. We, the Ming army, started the uprising for the sake of the people of the Central Plains. It's not just because we are strong. We must not take it lightly."

When Chen An heard what the Minister of War Liu Yong said, he shook his head and spoke to him seriously.

"By the way, Ministry of Revenue, have all the lands been clearly divided?"

Chen An looked at the Minister of Revenue Li Qin standing beside him and spoke to him seriously.

"Your Majesty, all the land has been measured and distributed by the four legions. No one dares to tamper with it. The data has been recorded and stored. You can rest assured."

Li Qin heard Chen An's question and said to Chen An with a smile.

"You must remember that I am not important in this world. What is important is the countless people. With their support, a dynasty's regime can be stable. Otherwise, the dynasty will perish sooner or later. I will never let anyone who dares to interfere with people's livelihood go!"

Chen An looked at his men. Perhaps because the war had been going too smoothly during this period, they all had proud and arrogant expressions. Chen An spoke to these people seriously.

"Yes, Your Majesty. We understand. Your Majesty is wise!"

After hearing Chen An's words, many ministers immediately bowed and said to Chen An.

Chen An looked at the respectful expressions of these ministers, shook his head in boredom, then looked at the waiter standing aside and winked at the servant.

"If you have the foundation to start a memorial, if you don't have the foundation to retreat from the court."

After seeing Chen An's look, the attendant immediately shouted loudly to all the officials in the hall.

But after hearing the servant's words, none of the ministers spoke out. After looking around, the servant resolutely shouted:

"Retreat!"

Following the servants' shouts, the ministers soon backed out of the hall one after another and headed outside.

The ministers left, and Chen An stood up, stretched his muscles, and walked towards the harem.

"Rong'er, Nianci, you are all here."

Chen An returned to the palace where he lived, and found Huang Rong and Mu Nianci were both there.

Chen An walked into the hall with a smile and said to Huang Rong and Mu Nianci.

"Your Majesty, you have returned from court."

When Huang Rong heard Chen An's words, she immediately stood up and said to Chen An with a smile.

"Well, the tide just went out. How did you two get together?"

Chen An pulled Huang Rong to the table, sat down with a smile, and spoke to Huang Rong and Mu Nianci.

"Hasn't Lin'an been taken? Nianci came to me to discuss it. Let me be the queen, and she can be a concubine."

After hearing Chen An's words, Huang Rong looked at the nervous Mu Nianci beside her, smiled, and spoke to Chen An first.

"You don't need to argue about this. Both of you are queens."

"No one else will be allowed into the harem from now on, not even eunuchs. Only orphans will be accepted and trained as servants in the palace."

After hearing what Huang Rong said, Chen An waved his hand and spoke calmly to Huang Rong and Mu Nianci.

"See, Sister Nianci, I was saying that our Majesty could never be such a heartless person."

Huang Rong smiled after hearing Chen An's words, and said with a smile to Mu Nianci who had already relaxed beside her.

"Your Majesty, can I ask you for a favor?"

After hearing Chen An's words, Mu Nianci finally calmed down.

Looking at Chen An, after thinking it over again and again, he decided to ask Chen An for help.

"Oh, Nianci, just tell me what you want to say. But first, both of you come over here and get slapped."

Chen An responded with a smile when he heard what Mu Nianci said, then spoke seriously to Huang Rong and Mu Nianci.

"Ah, Your Majesty, what's wrong? Don't be angry, I won't ask for help."

Mu Nianci immediately became nervous when she heard Chen An's words, and spoke to Chen An incoherently.

"I'm not angry. How can I not be angry? Didn't I tell you before? Don't call me Your Majesty. Call me husband. Is there anyone here? Why do you keep saying Your Majesty?"

Chen An slapped Huang Rong and Mu Nianci on the buttocks in annoyance and spoke to them seriously.

"Yes, sir, we know we were wrong."

Huang Rong and Mu Nianci breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Chen An's words, and then Huang Rong spoke to Chen An first with a blushing face.

"I know I was wrong, husband, I'm sorry."

After hearing Chen An's words, Mu Nianci immediately followed Huang Rong and spoke to Chen An.

"Well, that's good. Tell me, what's the matter? Beg me."

Chen An looked at Huang Rong and Mu Nianci who both admitted their mistakes to him in a low voice, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Huang Rong and Mu Nianci.

"Can you help me find my adoptive father? I want to know if they are still alive."

Mu Nianci organized her thoughts, looked at Chen An and spoke to him seriously.

"You mean to find your adoptive father Yang Tiexin, right? I see. I will send someone to look for him, don't worry."

After hearing what Mu Nianci said, Chen An immediately understood and said to Mu Nianci with a smile.
