Taishi Ci arranged it, and after a short time, Washington was brought into the hall. After he became a prisoner, he had not eaten. He was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back, and he was even more embarrassed. When he saw Lu Yu and noticed Lu Xuan, who looked similar to Lu Yu, he understood instantly.
This is the Ming Emperor.
Washington was shocked and asked: "Lu Xuan, aren't you in peace? How can you return to Ming Dynasty?"
After the translator relayed it, Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Anxi has been destroyed, and the emperor of Anxi is gone. In addition, Rome has also been destroyed, Constantinople has fallen, and the leader of Rome, Sepuus, has been killed. I serve. Washington, your dream of annexing the Ming Dynasty has failed. In fact, even if I had not withdrawn my troops and returned to Nanjing, you would not have succeeded."
Washington was completely stunned when he heard this.
Rest was gone, and Rome was gone in a blink of an eye.
How can it be?
Cypuus was a capable pope who held great power in Rome. As the ruler of the West, Sepuus combined politics and religion, had greater influence and stronger mobilization ability, but he became Lu Xuan's lackey.
Washington couldn't believe this news.
Washington didn't know what to say for a moment. Originally, he was still thinking of threatening Lu Xuan. However, faced with Lu Xuan's strength and the fall of Parthia and Rome, Washington was panicked.
After a long while, Washington came back to his senses and said: "Lu Xuan, although you won. However, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to rule so many areas."
"Whether we can rule or not is my problem and Ming's problem. I won't bother you to worry about it."
Lu Xuan looked at Washington and said, "As the ruler of a country, you have an empty name, but you are not worthy of your name. There is nothing strange about it. Since you have nothing to say, you can get on your way."
"No, I don't want to die."
Washington immediately understood what Lu Xuan meant and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am useful. I know many, many things. I can help you govern the American Federation. If you don't kill me, everything can be arranged."
"unnecessary!"
Lu Xuan answered decisively.
His eyes turned cold and he ordered: "This time, all the coalition generals who invaded the Ming Dynasty will be killed. All coalition soldiers who commit unforgivable crimes will become slaves of the Ming Dynasty. This is an invasion of the Ming Dynasty." The price. The vastness of China cannot be invaded. Anyone who dares to invade will be punished no matter how far away he is."
"no no!"
Washington shouted again.
His voice was hysterical, his eyes widened, and he said loudly: "Lu Xuan, I know technology, I know better weapons, and I have an unparalleled effect on you."
"Drag it down and kill it!"
Lu Xuan gave the order decisively.
The soldiers dragged Washington down, and soon there was a scream and Washington was killed.
Lu Xuan looked at Tai Shici and said, "Ziyi, the awards and pensions for all soldiers will be arranged as soon as possible."
"Here!"
Taishi Ci responded with clasped fists.
Lu Xuan then looked at Zhou Yu who was discussing matters in the palace, and ordered: "Gong Jin, what I just said is what to do with the coalition prisoners. All coalition prisoners do not need to be reorganized, they will all be demoted to slaves and sent to various states to be arranged as soon as possible. "
"I accept the decree!"
Zhou Yu bowed and answered.
Lu Xuan looked at Zhang Zhao again and ordered: "Qing Zhang, the cabinet will restore the stability of the place as soon as possible."
"Here!"
Zhang Zhao answered again.
Lu Xuan arranged many other things and took Lu Yu back to the palace. As for those who came back with Lu Xuan, Cao Cao went back to the Cao family to reminisce with his good son Cao Ang. Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and others settled the troops and went home to rest.
Lu Xuan took Lu Yu to Lu Kang's tomb. After paying homage to his old father, Lu Xuan rested in Nanjing for a few days.
Everything has returned to calm.
The leading generals of the coalition forces were all beheaded, and the captives were arranged batch by batch as slaves and sent to various states for mining and the like. As for the war in Donghai County and Wu County, the local garrison defeated the coalition forces and was counting the prisoners and escorting the prisoners back.
On this day, Lu Xuan finished handling the government affairs of the court and arranged for someone to call Lu Yu to the palace.
Lu Yu saluted and said: "Father!"
"sit!"
Lu Xuan waved his hands and ordered, and after Lu Yu sat down, he said slowly: "This time Washington led the coalition to attack, and the offensive under Nanjing was very fierce. When faced with difficulties, you did not fear or retreat, and guarded Nanjing with all the soldiers. It’s extremely difficult.”
Lu Yu said: "This is what I should do. As a member of the Lu family, as the son of my father. If a mere enemy invades, and I retreat and run away, wouldn't it make people laugh? The Lu family will not die. Evacuate and we will not let the enemy run rampant."
Lu Xuan continued: "You have done a good job in supervising the country over the years. Your performance this time is particularly outstanding. The courtiers are convinced and all the officials are impressed. Especially Zhang Zhao, the chief minister of the cabinet, praises you very much."
Lu Yu said modestly: "Prime Minister Zhang is overrated."
Lu Xuandao: "The original plan was to wait until you were crowned as adults, and then I would give you the Zen position. Now, you have shown extraordinary talents and abilities, and you are enough to control the ministers and control the huge Ming Dynasty with your own abilities. So. , I plan to abdicate in advance and let you inherit the throne."
Lu Yu was shocked, shocked, and even a little unbelievable after hearing this. He is not too old and is still a few years away from being crowned, and now his father is about to abdicate.
A little too early.
From the bottom of his heart, Lu Yu hoped that his father would stay.
Lu Yu stood up, lifted up his robe, knelt down, and said sincerely: "Father, I can't live without you, and all the officials in the court can't live without you. I sincerely hope that you can stay. Father is here , I have a backbone, and everyone has a backbone.”
Lu Xuan shook his head and said: "I don't like staying in the palace all day. Such an important task can only be given to you. This is to inform you, not to discuss with you, get up."
Lu Yu said: "My son, take your orders!"
Lu Xuan gave some more instructions and talked to Lu Yu about the affairs of the court, the arrangements for Cao Cao, and the situation in Anxi and Rome. In addition, Xizhou, Xiangzhou and other places were also involved, telling Lu Yu the big picture of the world.
Lu Yu is not very old, but he has a precocious mind and is already sensible enough to understand the meaning of Lu Xuan's words.
After a long talk between father and son, Lu Xuan arranged for Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Kuai Liang and Yan Xiang to be invited, plus Zhou Yu. Yan Xiang is getting old, but he is also suffering from illness and can barely survive.
Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and Kuai Liang are in good health.
Lu Xuan looked around at everyone and explained the arrangement of the Zen throne for Lu Yu, and said: "When the prince ascends the throne, he needs to choose a good time and an auspicious day. For this matter, the cabinet took the lead and asked Zuo Ci, the Minister of Rites, to choose a time to prepare for the throne."
"I obey!"
Zhang Zhao replied loudly.
Lu Xuan looked at Zhou Yu again and said in a deep voice: "Gong Jin, after the prince succeeds to the throne, although he has not yet been crowned, he can still marry a wife. The prince's marriage must be arranged on the schedule. You, the Zhou family, must do a good job Prepare."
"Here!"
Zhou Yu bowed and answered.
The prince and his daughter had already decided to get married. Now that Lu Yu has ascended the throne, it is normal for him to marry a wife and enthrone him in the palace.
Lu Xuan made arrangements one by one to arrange Lu Yu's accession to the throne in a short period of time, and everyone went to prepare. When the news came out, everyone in the court was shocked. It was unbelievable that Lu Xuan wanted to take the Zen position in his prime.
However, no one objected.
Emperors are different from ordinary emperors. Most emperors live in deep palaces for a long time and control the world. However, Lu Xuan was either conquering Xiangzhou or Anxi. He had been outside these years and rarely stayed in the palace honestly.
During the years when Lu Yu was supervising the country, the government affairs were in order, the administration was methodical and not hurried, he also treated the heroes and veterans well, and generally supported Lu Yu.
During the discussion, the time came to April 19th, which was an auspicious day. Lu Xuan ascended the throne, and Lu Yu officially ascended the throne and succeeded him, changing his reign to Yongkang, which was called the first year of Yongkang. After Lu Yu came to the throne, he issued a general amnesty to the whole country. He did not promulgate any new laws and steadily continued the previous policies.
This is the third day of May.
At the Yangtze River ferry north of Nanjing, Lu Yu, Jia Xu and Zhou Yu came to see Lu Xuan off in person. When Lu Xuan left Nanjing, he decentralized everything. In addition, the areas of Xizhou, Xiangzhou and Anxi were handed over to Lu Yu to arrange for people to take over.
As for the attack on the United States Federation, leave it to Lu Yu. Anyway, there are many civilian and military generals in the DPRK.
Lu Xuan left Nanjing and took a boat westward, along the Yangtze River to Jingzhou, then north from Jingzhou to Guanzhong, and from Xizhou to Xiangzhou. He wanted to pick up all his wives, concubines, and family members, and take them all to live in Rome and prepare to travel around.
Zhou Yu was so greedy that he wanted to leave with him. He even decided to go out after receiving the news of Lu Xuan's return. Unfortunately, this time because Lu Yu wanted to marry Zhou Yu's daughter, he stayed after all and still served as the governor.
After Lu Yu and Lu Xuan's father and son had a conversation, Lu Xuan boarded the ship and left.
One big ship after another, heading west.
Lu Yu looked at the departing ship, looked at Jia Xu and Zhou Yu with great ambition, and said in a deep voice: "The Governor and Mr. Jia all say that it is easier to conquer a country than to defend it. Now, I take over an unprecedented territory. I will definitely manage it well. Ming Dynasty, let the dragon flag of Ming Dynasty be planted in every corner of the world, and let the solar energy shine on the dragon flag of Ming Dynasty forever."
A trace of dignity emerged from Lu Yu's body, a little more domineering and a little less childish.
Jia Xu smiled and said: "The territory and national power of the Ming Dynasty will definitely reach unprecedented prosperity in the hands of your majesty. I have no doubt about it."
Zhou Yu said: "Your Majesty is extremely talented and will definitely be able to create an unprecedented prosperous age."
Lu Yu chuckled.
The early summer sunshine fell on Lu Yu's body, as if it was covered with a layer of golden light. His slightly childish face looked firm and solemn, unshakable.
