Chapter 378 Leaving the Secret Realm

Seeing that his goal was not achieved, Liu Yushi wanted to make a final struggle.

But after noticing the indifferent look of the Tang King in front of the hall, he shuddered and retreated quickly.

He subconsciously touched his neck and felt cold.

Without the interference of these troublemakers, the court meeting today would discuss nothing more than the full takeover of the Southern Song Dynasty.

With the support of the navy, the Longxiang Guard led by Yang Zhi did not encounter any resistance along the southern water network.

Wherever they went, the prefectures chose to open the city and surrender.

Without Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu, the Zhao regime of the Southern Song Dynasty that was originally planned to be established in history did not appear.

Even the royal family members of the Zhao family did not resist the Tang army led by Yang Zhi.

This may be attributed to Prince Fu Zhao Yurui.

That is, the prince of the Zhao family who had previously transferred his servants to assist Shen Lian in pacifying the rebels in the palace.

After Lin Chen arrived in Lin'an, he was quite kind to Zhao Yurui.

He did not raise the butcher knife or confiscate the family property. Instead, he was awarded the idle official position of the Minister of Rites for his meritorious service.

Although he lost his princely title, he also preserved his family property.

Even Xie Daoqing and Song Gongzong were not liquidated, and now they were well pacified by the Tang King.

Looking at this situation, at least they can be rich men in the second half of their lives.

This made some Zhao clan members who were still waiting and watching lose the idea of ​​resistance.

One of the reasons was that they did not have the ability, but more importantly, it was because of the Tang King's lenient attitude.

You should know that when dynasties changed, the slaughter of the royal family of the previous dynasty was not uncommon.

As for why Lin Chen did not take action against the Zhao emperor?

The reason is very simple.

Song Gongzong was only five years old, still a child.

For Lin Chen, the latter did not pose any threat at all.

Even if Song Gongzong came of age, it would take more than ten years.

During this time, Lin Chen was confident that he could march north and recapture most of the Central Plains.

Rebuilding the power of Yanhan, by then, how could a young emperor of the previous dynasty shake it?

This is just like Li Erfeng worrying that his generals would be more powerful than him.

It can only be said that the founding emperor will have a surplus here.

On the other hand, Zhao Kuangyin of the Zhao family seized the world of an orphan and a widow, and the inherent legal principles were unstable.

Let's talk about the court meeting.

What Lin Chen didn't expect was that Liu Mengyan was making trouble again.

"I ask for your report!"

"Approved."

"I heard that Your Highness dismissed the concubines in the harem of Emperor Zhao, and now the inner court is empty. Will you issue an order to select concubines?"

"Hmm?"

After Liu Mengyan said this, the palace was quiet for a moment.

Although there was no sound in the palace, the hearts of the court officials were hidden!

Well!

Many old officials of the Southern Song Dynasty were shocked, and secretly thought that this treacherous villain knew how to flatter the superiors.

After this period of time, they have a general understanding of His Highness the King of Tang.

Young, but with great ambitions, he is the image of a wise king.

If he was really a tyrannical warrior, he would never let so many Southern Song officials continue to stay in the court.

That's why.

They forgot.

His Majesty the Tang King has no concubines in his harem.

The court officials who reacted brightened up.

What a good opportunity!

Many court officials are thinking about the women of marriageable age waiting to get married.

Although Southern Song literati disdain foreign relatives, starting from Song Lizong.

The descendants of the queen's family have many opportunities to sit in a leisurely and high position.

Then why can Jia Sidao be so powerful in the court, is it nothing more than having a concubine sister favored by the emperor? !

So Liu Mengyan's words just made these old officials of the Southern Song Dynasty excited.

After listening to Liu Mengyan's words, Lin Chen's mouth twitched slightly.

During the time he came to the secret realm, he really didn't think about this kind of thing.

Because for Lin Chen, the recovery was originally just an obsession in his heart.

When Liu Mengyan mentioned this today, a thought emerged in Lin Chen's mind, that is, will the women in the secret realm explode with reward packages?

Unlike Li Tang outside, Lin Chen has to restrain himself.

In the secret realm, he is the one who wants to be the emperor.

As the saying goes, there are three thousand beauties in the harem.

Converted, this is three thousand reward packages.

"You Prime Minister is right."

What Lin Chen didn't expect was that Qiao Xuan agreed with him at the first time.

"Huh?"

Lin Chen noticed the gleam in Qiao Xuan's eyes, and then thought of Qiao Xuan coming to him today and saying that he intended to bring his family to the secret realm to live for a long time.

Anyway, it was just a thought in Lin Chen's mind when he first entered the secret realm.

He thought Qiao Xuan was going to show his loyalty to him.

But he didn't expect.

You old guy, you also want to be my father-in-law?

Seeing that Qiao Xuan, the Tang king's confidant, agreed, the rest of the court officials had no objection.

It should be so.

It is true that the Tang king is young now, but he has no offspring.

You should know that in ancient times, the inheritance of offspring is very important.

The reason is also very simple.

Everyone follows you to fight for the world, nothing more than wanting to get a share of glory and wealth.

But if you don't have an offspring to take over, then won't the brothers' efforts be in vain?

Seeing this, Lin Chen couldn't raise any objections.

He just implicitly signaled Liu Mengyan not to be too extravagant.

Looking at Qiao Xuan's eager look, it is obvious that he is thinking about sending his two daughters to the palace.

If it were in the outside world, Li Tang, Qiao Xuan might still hesitate.

It can be seen that Qiao Xuan, after knowing the secret realm, no longer has much hesitation.

OK.

In order to appease the only civil official under his command who can do things, Lin Chen had to take Qiao Xuan and leave the secret realm temporarily.

The situation in the secret realm is now stable, so it doesn't matter whether he is there or not.

According to Lin Chen's estimation.

The civil strife in Mongolia can at least involve Kublai Khan for two years.

This time is enough for Lin Chen to digest the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty. As long as the digestion is completed, he can take the opportunity to march north.

At that time, it will be time for him to confront Kublai Khan and fight for the Central Plains.

Before that.

Lin Chen doesn't need to continue to focus on the secret realm.

Thanks to the different time flow speed between the secret realm and the outside world, there has been no major change in the outside world Li Tang during this period.

"Young Master, the white-bearded grandfather from Huashan said that we are almost at the foot of Tianshan Mountain."

Xiao Zhao saw Lin Chen's figure and hurriedly greeted him softly.

The clever maid vaguely realized that her son had something to do, and she almost disappeared along the way.

Even the Huashan master, the old man who called himself Feng Qingyang, was surprised at Lin Chen's whereabouts.

Xiao Zhao, who saw Lin Chen today, seemed a little excited.

Hearing this, Lin Chen glanced at Xiao Zhao and then smiled.

Looking at the joy in Xiao Zhao's eyes, it turned out that she had broken through to the second level of Qiankun Damo Shift.

According to the setting of the original book.

The second level of Qiankun Damo Shift, if the talent is ordinary, it takes several years to master it.

And Xiao Zhao has only learned Qiankun Damo Shift for two months here with Lin Chen.

Therefore, Lin Chen cooperated very well and rubbed his maid's black hair, and pinched her smooth and pretty face.

"Xiao Zhao, are we almost at Tianshan?"

Lin Chen asked with a chuckle, and Xiao Zhao nodded in affirmation.

Seeing this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and his heart moved slightly.
