Chapter 1816: New Dynasty, New Atmosphere
Chen Changli was a killing god on the battlefield. No one could match him. The fleeing generals lost their spirit and soon died in his hands.
Chen Changli took his head and did not stop, continuing to attack.
"Keep fighting, don't stop. As for the food and fodder, don't worry, His Highness will take care of it for us."
When many soldiers heard this, they became more spirited, so they fought harder and harder. At this time, He He was arguing with Tu Yuanzhou again, and the Quan Rong had been humiliated by Chen Changli, so they wanted to get it back from him, so he became the one who was attacked from both sides.
"Chen Changli is a madman. God has no eyes and allows him to be invincible on the battlefield."
Tu Yuanzhou was furious, but he didn't know why Quan Rong and He He suddenly found trouble with him and hit his weaknesses quite accurately.
He had to send troops to deal with Chen Changli and resist their attacks. He was almost going crazy.
"Your Majesty, let's withdraw from Qingzhou first and head to the Western Regions." His staff immediately suggested, "The Western Regions are our base camp. Only by staying there can we solve the problems brought by the Quanrong and Hehe."
"I have finally entered the Central Plains. If I withdraw now, wouldn't it be a joke?" Tu Yuanzhou was very unwilling.
The confidant sighed: "If Your Majesty does not retreat, Chen Changli will attack us."
He glanced at Tu Yuanzhou and said earnestly, "Yan Wutong is just a thorn in our side, and there are many people like him among us. Instead of letting Chen Changli win, we might as well preserve our strength to eliminate these people, and then compete with the crown prince."
Tu Yuanzhou knew this truth very well, but he was really unwilling to accept it. It was not until he received the news from Quanzhou that he suddenly realized that his decision to declare himself emperor was a wrong one.
He was so angry that he smashed everything around him, and then panted and said, "Just as you said, we will go to the Western Region first."
He was a very decisive man. After making the decision, he didn't want anything and retreated with food and soldiers.
When Chen Changli caught up, he saw only an empty city. Half a year had passed since he received the letter.
During this half year, the prince did not receive his reply, but he immediately knew what he was thinking. After sighing, he prepared the logistics for him.
Li Keyong saw that he could not show his ability around Chen Changli, and he felt that he had been greatly humiliated, so he told the Crown Prince and went to attack Prince Rong.
Li Keyong's situation was not going well, so the prince asked some newly promoted generals to help, and they finally suppressed Prince Rong.
So as soon as Chen Changli returned to Yongzhou City, he received good news from Li Keyong.
He raised his eyebrows and smiled at Wan Shufang: "Your Highness, have you conquered the entire world at this time?"
Wan Shufang threw herself into his arms, hammered and hit him, then cried, "Why not? With a reckless man like you around, he will be laughed at if he can't take over the world."
"It's my fault, but Tu Yuanzhou is the same as the barbarians. If I don't drive him out of the Central Plains, he will probably learn from those barbarians and massacre the city." Chen Changli knew that he had done a bad thing, so he quickly humbled himself in front of Wan Shufang.
Wan Shufang was only angry for a moment, but she was more distressed. "When you didn't come back, the prince and I guessed the reason. In order to solve your logistics, I led people to plant more than a dozen cities with good seeds in the past six months."
"As soon as the people from other places learned about this, they all came to seek refuge with the prince. We have been extremely busy for the past six months. It's all your fault." She scolded, and then showed concern for Chen Changli's injuries. Only after she was sure that the medicinal materials sent by Manager Wang were delivered on time each time did she truly breathe a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad you're back." When the prince saw how the couple was getting along, all his words turned into just four words.
Chen Changli immediately reported to him what had happened over the years, and then asked, "Is Your Highness going to hold a coronation ceremony this time?"
"I don't want to waste money and manpower, so I can just issue an edict and announce it to the world." The prince smiled, "Our dynasty is called Dayong. I will be the founding emperor of Dayong in the future, and you will be the founding hero. So do you want to be a duke or a king?"
"Duke." Chen Changli smiled, as if a spring breeze was blowing on his face. "Leave the title of prince to your children."
After hearing this, Wan Shufang thought for a moment and said, "In fact, the royal family is also a danger, because they do not produce anything, they only rely on the royal family for support, and their status is noble, so they take advantage of their power to bully others and do all kinds of things that are against the will of heaven and earth."
"In order to prevent the royal family from becoming a cancer, I have an idea, that is, to use the three generations of direct lineage as the foundation. After three generations, they must find their own way out and can no longer rely on the royal family."
The prince seemed to be thinking about something. In this chaotic time, the performance of the royal family was indeed disappointing, and he was disgusted.
"Do you have any other ideas? As long as they are appropriate, I will adopt them." The prince stared at Wan Shufang with burning eyes. He felt that Wan Shufang was an extraordinary woman with profound insights and ideas that could inspire him.
"Then I won't be polite." Seeing that the prince was sincerely asking for advice, Wan Shufang combined her past and present lives and put forward many ideas, especially on the issue of land annexation.
The more the prince listened, the more he thought it made sense, so he quickly discussed it with some people. He then made some deletions and revisions, and listened to Wan Shufang's advice. He replaced all the bad habits and systems of the previous dynasty.
The prince was a man of great initiative, and with Chen Changli's help, the new system was quickly implemented.
A year later, Wan Shufang walked on the streets of Yongzhou City with her grandchildren who could walk and jump.
She felt the atmosphere of a new dynasty and a new atmosphere, and smiled sincerely: "The prince is indeed wholeheartedly for the people. With him caring about the people, the people's future will get better and better."
Wang Xiaohui bought a few strings of candied haws and distributed them to the children one by one. She then wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said, "Mother, we can no longer call him the prince. We should call him His Majesty."
"He won't care about this little thing." Wan Shufang held Chen Jingle in her arms, wiped his mouth, and handed him to Gu Mingyue.
"Your Majesty does have a very good temper. I saw him farming among the people a few days ago." Gu Mingyue took the child with a bright smile.
Wu Qiaoyue nodded: "That's just your majesty. If it were the other two princes, they would just stay in the palace and not go anywhere."
"It seems that he hasn't recognized the facts yet." Bai Lian said this quickly. Several people looked at each other, then covered their mouths and laughed.
Wan Shufang raised her eyebrows and said, "We can just talk about this among our family. Don't say it in front of outsiders, otherwise it will cause some trouble."
"Dad is the Duke of the State. With him here, any trouble can be solved." Chen Chunchan looked excited and pointed forward, "Mom, Dad is here to pick you up."
"What do you mean pick me up? You're obviously here to pick us up." Wan Shufang looked forward and saw Chen Changli's solemn expression, as if they were meeting for the first time. She smiled and led the children over.
Then the family walked happily towards the Duke's Mansion. The sunshine shone on them, leaving behind hope for a better future.
