Ming Dynasty, Imperial Palace.

The machine dragon bird slowly landed.

Under the gaze of everyone, Lu Nianli led Song Qing out of the control room.

In front, Emperor Song and others, who were leading the crowd to greet them, smiled reluctantly.

Because they all know the purpose of coming here, the Prince of Beili and the son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty.

"My son-in-law, Lu Nianli, has met my father-in-law and mother-in-law." Lu Nianli bowed his hands slightly and saluted.

"My son, I have met my father, the emperor, and my mother, the queen." Song Qing also saluted.

"No gifts, no gifts."

Emperor Ming Song Gaoge smiled without a smile and signaled that the two of them did not need to be polite. Now that his emperor's status in the world is really inferior to that of his 'good son-in-law', how could he dare to accept the courtesy?

After today, it remains to be seen whether his throne will be secure.

After some polite greetings, Song Gaoge brought Lu Nianli and Song Qing to the banquet.

At this banquet, not a single first- or second-rank minister from the entire Ming Dynasty was absent.

"Sir-in-law, please sit down."

Song Gaoge deliberately gave Lu Nianli an equal seat, and even the queen gave him a second-class seat.

Lu Nianli sat down without ceremony.

Before coming to Daming, he had already finalized the outcome in his mind.

No matter how good the Ming Emperor's attitude was, it would not have any impact on the outcome.

"Qing'er, it's up to you to say what happens next."

Lu Nianli turned to Song Qing. He had already discussed with Song Qing how to decide about the Ming Dynasty. At this time, Song Qing was more suitable than him.

"Um."

Song Qing nodded, then looked at everyone, "Father, Queen, mother, and all ministers, my husband and I are here today to represent the Beili Dynasty."

"Everyone should know that the war between the Beili Dynasty and the Dayan Dynasty is intensifying. Millions of troops from both sides have gathered at the border of the former Daning, and a fight may start at any time."

"Beili and Daning are far apart from each other. In order to ensure a smooth war, Beili wants to borrow Daming's territory to facilitate food supplies and troop deployment."

Song Qing's tone was calm throughout.

However, the faces of the officials of the Ming Dynasty became increasingly ugly, especially the Ming Emperor Song Gaoge who could no longer maintain a smile on his face.

borrow?

In ancient times, the final result of borrowing territories and cities was that they would never return the money.

Beili's ambition is obvious.

Especially when this sentence came from the mouth of the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, it chilled the hearts of the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

The banquet fell into silence for a moment, and no one answered.

Song Qing's eyes slowly turned to Emperor Ming Song Gaoge, "Father, what do you think?"

Emperor Ming Song Gaoge looked at his daughter. From the moment he acquiesced to the third prince Song Li to lead troops to attack Beili, he knew that there was an unhealable rift between him and his daughter.

Maybe if he hadn't done that at the beginning, the results today would have been different.

"well!"

Emperor Ming Song Gaoge sighed, "I'm old! It's time to abdicate."

He already knew in his heart that in the face of the current Beili situation, Ming Dynasty had no chance of winning. Instead of letting the people suffer unreasonable disasters, it would be better to take advantage of the situation.

At least we can create a path of eternal prosperity for future generations.

Be it angry or unwilling.

With thousands of years of secular history and countless dynasties, how many can escape the trend of unification?

Sometimes now that you have made a choice, you should accept your fate.

If the third prince Song Li's surprise attack had been successful in that battle, Beili would not have become what he is now. Unfortunately, if things didn't work out as he wished, he would have to admit defeat if he lost.

Song Gaoge suddenly talked about abdicating the throne, and the ministers' expressions changed and they cried out in mourning.

"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

"Your Majesty, please think again."

"The Ming Dynasty has no prince who can succeed to the throne. If you retreat, the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos!"

Many ministers knew that Song Gaoge's withdrawal would usher in a purge of civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty.

Many of them had been against the eldest princess Song Qing and lost Song Gaoge's protection. I'm afraid they would all die a good death based on the eldest princess's methods.

"I am getting old and no longer have the heart to deal with government affairs."

Song Gaoge showed signs of fatigue, as if he had suddenly aged a lot, "I already have a successor in mind, and that is my daughter, the eldest princess Song Qing."

When he said these words, Song Gaoge let out a heavy breath.

He was unwilling to give in, but he also knew that this was the best ending.

With Beili unstoppable, only by letting Qing'er stand at the top can we protect the Song family's bloodline inheritance, otherwise the Song family will be destroyed.

Lu Nianli raised a smile on his lips.

The result was pretty much what he imagined.

Many ministers had different reactions, some were happy, some were fearful, some were gloomy, and some were relieved. In fact, they had already guessed the ending, but they just couldn't accept it in their hearts.

"Qing'er, from now on the Ming Dynasty will be left to you."

"Don't miss the accumulation of generations of the Song family."

Song Gaoge warned that he only hoped that the blood ties of the Song family would allow his daughter to show some mercy. It would be great if she could get a position in Beili.

When Beili really unifies the Eastern Territory, the things that the Marquis of Beili can enjoy will not be lower than the current emperor, or even more.

Just like the Zhao Dynasty, a dynasty at the lowest level, its status rose rapidly just because Queen Zhao was granted the title of Marquis by Empress Beili.

Now Empress Zhao not only controls the original Zhao Dynasty territory, but also obtains half of the original Daliang territory as a fief.

Life is much more comfortable than before.

"Father, do you really want to abdicate?"

Song Qing asked again with a serious expression.

"Yes!" Song Gaoge nodded, "From now on, you young people will rule the world. As for how to cooperate with Beili in the future, I will leave it to you!"

"You and Prince Lu and your wife are of the same mind, and you will definitely be able to do better than me."

As he said that, Song Gaoge looked at the ministers and said, "Tomorrow I will issue an imperial edict announcing that the eldest princess will succeed to the throne and become the new emperor of our Ming Dynasty."

"You must also do your best to assist the new emperor just as you assist me."

"I obey the decree!" The ministers did not dare to refute.

"My son, I will live up to my father's trust." Song Qing didn't shirk too much, this was her purpose.

She would not even think that her relationship with Lu Nianli could affect Beili's general situation. If she insisted on helping Daming, the final result would be destruction along with Daming.

Lu Nianli sat aside and watched, keeping a faint smile from beginning to end, leaving the whole process to Song Qing.

Fortunately, there were no surprises in the outcome of this negotiation.

The Ming Dynasty has also fallen under the control of Beili, and there will probably be no surprises on the Great Yan side. The first major step in Beili's expansion plan is considered complete.

The next battle with the Dayan Dynasty is the top priority.

This will be a battle between the old and new overlords of the East.

This long-lost war is very likely to stir up trouble in the entire secular dynasty. Whether it is the Western Overlord Ashan Dynasty, the Northern Wilderness Dynasty, or the Southern Forest Half-Beast Dynasty, they are all destined to be affected.

…

At the same time, when Beili was preparing for war, the Dayan Dynasty, which was about to be challenged, was also preparing its troops and preparing to make a move.

The Dayan Dynasty welcomed a group of mysterious guests.

After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed.

He took a deep breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.

Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.

Where is this?

Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around and became even more confused.

A single dorm?

Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.

And my own body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
