Chapter 690 Before returning to Beijing

Ying Ning explained the relationship between Lao Huang and Gu Changyuan.

When Lao Huang's caravan was in danger, it was Gu Changyuan who came to help and saved thousands of lives in the caravan. Since then, Lao Huang has regarded Xuan Wangfu as the leader and saddle of his horse.

At that time, Gu Changyuan was only fourteen years old.

After hearing this, Li Yanxing was shocked for a long time and sighed: "His Royal Highness Xuan Wang is really a young hero. What a pity."

Ying Ning knew that it was a pity that Gu Changyuan could not get the position of crown prince.

Although Xiao Shiyi has a closer relationship with the Li family, Li Yanxing is a person who puts the country and the people first. He always believes that the position of prince should be held by a worthy person.

He felt more sad than anyone else about the fact that Gu Changyuan was sent to Minzhong County.

Lao Huang expressed his admiration for Li Yanxing, and presented the generous gift he had prepared. After receiving some praise from Li Yanxing, he escorted Ying Ning away with satisfaction.

Back at Prince Xuan's Mansion, Ying Ning went to see her eldest brother and third brother respectively, told them about the situation at her father's place, and reassured them.

A few days later, after Li Yanxing's 50,000 soldiers had generally recovered, he sent them to Linghai Town to clean up the battlefield so that the people of Linghai Town could go home and resettle earlier.

Li Yanxing came to Prince Xuan's Mansion and met with Gu Changyuan to discuss the handover of military affairs.

After the handover, Li Yanxing was completely relieved of his burden and became an idle prince with fame but no power.

The military power along the southeast coast, which had been controlled by Zhang Gaoqiu and his family for ten years, was completely returned to the hands of the royal family.

Ying Ning knew that Gu Changyuan would be very busy next.

After he gained military power, he also wanted to clean up the local officials in Minzhong County and conduct a complete overhaul here.

Without the protection of Zhang Gaoqiu, these local officials are nothing more than a bunch of loose people.

It was easy for Gu Changyuan to clean up.

After the maritime ban is lifted, the business exchanges between Daxuan and Fusang will increase dramatically. At that time, a large amount of money will flow into the hands of King Xuan and then return to the treasury.

Ying Ning couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could it be that the emperor's intention was to open the sea ban?

He did not disobey the late emperor's will, he was forced to do so.

Everything is for the country and the people.

Looking at the dying Zhang Gaoqiu and the slumped back of Li Yanxing, Ying Ning knew that the two of them together could not defeat the Emperor who was far away in the capital but held the world in his hands.

…

Three days later, everyone packed up and prepared to return to Beijing.

Except for Zhang Gaoqiu, who was half-dead, and Tang Qing, who was still sitting in a wheelchair, most of the people's injuries were healed.

Zhang Gaoqiu and Zhang Qiaoqiao, father and daughter, were placed in a carriage. Zhang Qiaoqiao was disgusted by the smell emanating from Zhang Gaoqiu and asked Yingning to get her a different carriage.

Ying Ning refused.

Zhang Qiaoqiao said angrily: "You might as well kill me! Don't you want revenge? Why don't you kill me?"

Ying Ning thought for a while and asked someone to place her and Takeda together.

Zhang Qiaoqiao is still dissatisfied: "Why do you ask me to sit with a Japanese pirate? I don't want to!"

"Then get off the car and follow the carriage!"

Ying Ning was impatient and asked someone to put her into the carriage and stopped caring.

Before leaving, Yingning went to see Gu Changyuan.

Gu Changyuan was handling official business in the study, with a thick pile of documents submitted by various counties piled in front of him.

"It's the end of the year, and there are many things going on in each county." Gu Changyuan raised his head and glanced at Ying Ning, "I can't see you off anymore, everyone, take care."
