At this time, Long Yan.
At the port, a supply ship sailed into the port, and officials from the imperial court came to greet it.
Although King Yong was a member of the Xie Dynasty, he was a noble in the traditional sense.
However, he has a high reputation among the people of Long Yan, and even among these newly promoted officials.
At this time, his return was warmly welcomed by the people of Longyan.
What's more, this time he made great contributions to Long Yan. This time King Yong made great contributions in Poland.
Now King Yong can be regarded as successful and famous.
It's time to come back.
Xie Chan took Liu Zheng and came to the port in person to greet King Yong. King Yong was Xie Chan's uncle. If seniority was really counted, Liu Zheng was also his junior.
This time, Liu Zheng and Xie Chan gave King Yong enough face.
Long Yan's army opened the way on both sides. Officials from the Manchu Dynasty were waiting at the port, and Xie Zhao, who was from the royalist lineage, took the lead personally.
The port was decorated with lights and colorful dragons and phoenixes, and everyone was waiting for the supply ship to dock.
However, Liu Zheng and Xie Chan did not come. They had prepared a banquet in the Dragon Phoenix Tower early.
Just waiting for the arrival of King Yong.
King Yong got off the boat and looked at the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, also slightly surprised.
"Welcome King Yong!"
"Welcome King Yong..."
This must have been something Liu Zheng did. He smiled and waved in response to the greetings of these officials.
But I don’t know what he wants to do to start such a big battle.
"Hehe, hehe..."
King Yong greeted them warmly. When he saw King Qin Xie Zhao taking the lead, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, wondering how he came back.
He is from Liu Zheng's faction. Although everyone is named Xie, their positions are completely different.
Usually the two of them don't deal with each other.
King Qin Xie Zhao said: "King Yong, long time no see. Master Liu has already held a banquet in the palace waiting for you."
King Yong was stunned. It was okay for anyone here to say this, but Xie Zhao was the only one who surprised him when he said it.
After all, Liu Zheng regarded Long Yan's emperor as a mascot.
This made Xie Zhao, a traditional royal family, very unhappy.
King Yong said warily: "Did Liu Zheng ask you to come?"
Xie Zhao took out Liu Zheng's token from his arms and handed it to King Yong.
King Yong was surprised when he saw this token. He looked at Xie Zhao again and wondered why Xie Zhao had Liu Zheng's token.
But it’s not like acting.
Xie Zhao doesn't have such courage.
"Master Liu said, let me invite you to a banquet. The carriage has been prepared. Please..." Xie Zhao took the initiative to get out of the way.
The courtiers also moved out of the way and respectfully said: "Please!"
King Yong looked at the end of the road and saw a carriage with a yellow cover and a red greasy cover, embroidered with exquisite pictures, two horses on the left and right, a lantern hanging on the top, and a large word "Thank you" written on it.
King Yong laughed loudly: "If that's the case, then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."
He walked like a general returning from victory with great strides, and stepped onto the carriage under the respectful eyes of everyone.
There was wind and dust all the way, with all the courtiers behind, and the King of Qin following closely behind.
Not long after, they arrived at the Dragon and Phoenix Tower.
This restaurant is the most luxurious restaurant in the capital, built by Liu Zheng in his spare time.
The consumption here is not low, but now the place has been cleared of people, just waiting for King Yong to arrive.
Seeing the carriage coming, the attendant inside hurriedly reported.
"Master Liu, King Yong has arrived."
At this time, Liu Zheng and Xie Chan, who were waiting there, were discussing why King Yong hadn't arrived yet.
Unexpectedly, in this short time, he got the news that King Yong had arrived. Liu Zheng patted Xie Chan's hand and said with a smile: "Look, this is not coming."
Xie Chan nodded. Prince Yong was one of the only people in her family that she had a good impression of.
Xie Chan was also very concerned about his information.
At this time, Xie Chan heard King Yong's hearty laughter coming from outside the door.
"Haha, Mr. Liu, what on earth do you want to do by setting up such a formation to greet me?"
"Even Xie Zhao was invited by you."
Liu Zheng and Xie Chan looked at the door and saw King Yong pushing the door open and saluting slightly.
Seeing her uncle, a smile immediately appeared on Xie Chan's originally worried face, and she returned the favor. She walked over and took King Yong's hand and said, "Uncle, you are finally here. You are almost worried about your niece."
Seeing Xie Chan, King Yong said lovingly: "I have heard that you gave birth to a boy for this kid. How is your health?"
"Uncle brought you some things to nourish your body from Europe."
Xie Chan smiled and said: "It's all good, Liu Zheng can take care of others."
She returned to Liu Zheng, held Liu Zheng's hand and said, "Xiao Liuqian fell asleep, so I didn't bring him here. Uncle, please take a seat."
Liu Zheng also smiled and said: "Please take a seat, King Yong."
He looked outside and said, "Everyone, please take a seat."
The courtiers sat in their seats. Liu Zheng saw Prince Xie Zhao and called him to his table alone.
Seeing Xie Zhao, King Yong was stunned.
I don’t understand why Liu Zheng called him in.
But King Yong didn't say anything, he just took his seat and took his seat.
At their table were not only Liu Zheng and Xie Chan, but also King Yong and King Qin, as well as the newly appointed Senate President Long Yan and several other ministers.
They are all Long Yan's powerful courtiers.
After sitting at the table, Liu Zheng said: "Today is a great day for King Yong to return victoriously from Europe."
"The first glass of wine should be given to him."
Liu Zheng picked up his wine glass and looked at King Yong. Everyone did the same and toasted King Yong with a glass of wine.
He added: "King Yong has made great contributions and should be rewarded. However, Xie Ming has lost his virtue and has already passed away. The emperor's position has been vacant for a long time..."
As soon as Liu Zheng finished speaking, Xie Zhao said impatiently: "Prince Yong is a member of the royal family, and Xie Ming has no successor if he loses his virtue!"
"Prince Yong has great prestige in the court and among the people, and he must be the king!"
King Yong was stunned, looked at Liu Zheng and King Qin, and frowned.
He did not want to become the emperor of Long Yan, although this position had been eclipsed by Liu Zheng's policies.
But the current emperor is equivalent to the leader of the Xie family. Although the emperor is gone, this family that has led Long Yan for more than 800 years still has huge power.
Being the leader of such a family will have a lot of power secretly.
Especially now that he actually has the support of Xie Zhao.
Other ministers echoed: "We also think that King Yong is the most suitable..."
King Yong looked at Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng pondered for a moment and then said: "People should obey public opinion and God's will. Although King Yong does not have Long Yan as his chief assistant, he should not be talking about the decision to appoint a new king."
"But in this matter, I still think you are more suitable."
King Yong was stunned for a moment, and now he understood what the reward Liu Zheng had arranged for him this time.
To become the emperor of Long Yan and the leader of the Xie clan!
This is what Liu Zheng wants King Yong to do.
However, King Yong hesitated. His original intention was to return to Long Yan to remove Liu Zheng's obstacles, allowing him to ascend the throne, become the new Long Yan Emperor, and truly control Long Yan's power.
After hearing that Xie Ming had died, he thought it was a happy event.
After all, the biggest obstacle that prevented Liu Zheng from proclaiming himself emperor was gone.
But if he becomes the emperor, then who is Liu Zheng?
After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "No!"
