The Ming Dynasty Palace.

At this time, Yue Buqun was meticulously reviewing memorials, while Lin Lang, wearing a luxurious dragon robe, was teasing a cute little girl on the side.

The little girl's name is Yang Feixue, and she is the child of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu.

Yang Feixue is lively and cute, and likes to be around him. Lin Lang also likes her very much, so he made her a princess early on.

This matter was opposed by the ministers, who believed that Xiao Feixue did not have royal blood and should not be dealt with so rashly.

But Lin Lang insisted on his own way, and the ministers in the court could only let him do as he pleased.

The ministers did not dare to resort to the method of using death as a warning to others. The last cruel person who did this, the grass on his grave is now almost three feet high!

Xiao Feixue played with Lin Lang for a while and felt it was boring. She glanced up and suddenly saw the Divine Eagle falling from the sky.

"Hahaha, Uncle Emperor, I want to ride an eagle."

She pointed at the divine eagle outside the door, her face full of childlike innocence.

Lin Lang hugged her and couldn't help but pinch Xiao Feixue's chubby little face.

"Okay, okay, uncle will let you go and play with the Divine Condor, but if your dad comes to look for you later and finds you're not here, uncle won't care about you!" Lin Lang said lovingly.

"ah?"

Xiao Feixue had a bitter face and was shaking her body, as if she was considering the consequences of being caught by her father.

Seeing this, Lin Lang's face was full of smiles.

"Your Majesty, Duke Yang wishes to see you!"

Suddenly, a young eunuch ran into the hall and bowed to report.

Little Feixue was startled and hurriedly ran over with her short legs, saying, "Daddy is here, Uncle Emperor, don't tell him Feixue is here."

As she spoke, she dove under Yue Buqun's desk.

Yue Buqun looked at the memorial on the table that he had scribbled on and shook his head slightly.

"Uncle Yue, hush..."

Xiao Feixue stretched out her little head and made a gesture to Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun forced a smile to show that he understood.

Seeing this, Lin Lang shook his head and smiled, then said to the young eunuch, "Let him in!"

"Summon Duke Yang to the audience!"

Yang Guo, dressed in a proper official uniform, slowly walked into the hall.

"Your Majesty, I, Yang Guo, pay my respects to you."

Lin Lang nodded, "How's it going?"

Yang Guo glanced at Yue Buqun's desk, then said, "Your Majesty, the Mongolian prince Huodu has agreed to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty."

"Hodu?"

Lin Lang touched his chin and said, "That's good. This kid doesn't have any special abilities, nor does he have any backing. If we support him as the Khan, he will be easier to control."

"What about the Southern Song Dynasty?"

"The Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty has been ill for a long time, and the ministers in the court are acting independently. Chaos is gradually emerging. Now is the perfect time to send troops."

Lin Lang pondered for a moment, then stretched out his hand and grabbed the kerosene lamp on the desk.

"Let Li Mochou take the lamp spirit to the Southern Song Dynasty, cure Old Zhao, and then let him write a letter of surrender."

Yang Guo was stunned. “Your Majesty, would it be inappropriate to cure the Southern Song Emperor?”

"It doesn't matter. I have been here for quite some time. The sooner we unify the country, the sooner I can leave." Lin Lang waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has just been established. Where are you going at this time?" Yang Guo asked in shock.

"Go down!"

"This...I will take my leave."

Yang Guo turned around and paused, "Feixue, go home with Daddy."

Xiao Feixue came out from the desk with an unhappy look on her face.

"oh."

"Goodbye Uncle Emperor, goodbye Uncle Yue."

Xiao Feixue waved her hand and was pulled out of the hall by Yang Guo.

Yue Buqun looked thoughtful, goodbye?

This should mean see you later!

Then he looked at Lin Lang, "Master, if we leave, who will inherit the Ming Dynasty?"

Lin Lang had already made plans for this issue.

He turned to look at the young eunuch and said, "Yu Fangzhou, ask Xin Zhiqing to come see me."

"yes!"

After Yu Fangzhou walked away, Lin Lang thought to himself, "Yin Zhiping placed this eunuch beside me simply to find out Dongfang's whereabouts.

But soon, you will know where the East has gone!"

…

"This humble general pays homage to His Majesty!"

Xin Zhiqing, dressed in military uniform, bowed and saluted.

"No need to be polite."

Lin Lang raised his hand and said with a smile, "In a few days, I plan to make you the crown prince."

Xin Zhiqing was shocked and suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, you are still young and have lived a long life. This is absolutely unacceptable."

"Don't be nervous, I'm not testing you."

Lin Lang pulled Xin Zhiqing to sit on the ground and said with a smile: "You know, I am not from this world. After the world is unified, I will leave."

Xin Zhiqing was silent. One of the reasons why he decided to join the army that day was because he knew that the leader of the Ming Cult was an immortal who had descended to the earth. By following the immortal's footsteps, he would surely be able to carry forward the Quanzhen Cult.

This is indeed the case. Now he holds the power of a million soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, and the Quanzhen Sect has become famous throughout the world with his support.

And precisely because of this, he was so frightened when the immortal said he wanted to make him the crown prince.

He thought the immortal was testing his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect that this was the real reason.

The immortal has finished his training on earth and is about to return to the fairyland.

Seeing Xin Zhiqing silent, Lin Lang patted his shoulder.

"I'm sure you've noticed. Over the years, I've had you participate in the research of steam engines and the development of muskets and cannons. Whether it's government or military affairs, you've been involved.

I am making plans for the future. Now that you have passed the test, the position of crown prince belongs to you."

Xin Zhiqing's face was solemn. "Your Majesty, I understand. But as for General Hei..."

Lin Lang waved his hand. "Don't worry about anything. If he dares to go too far, just remove him from office and let him go back to his hometown to farm."

"This... I understand!"

…

Three days later, Emperor Ming appointed General Xin Zhiqing as crown prince, shocking the world.

Rumors are spreading among the people that General Xin has a million soldiers under his command and is using this to threaten Your Majesty.

Your Majesty had no choice but to appoint Xin Zhiqing as the crown prince.

Half a month later, General Hei held a banquet and invited Crown Prince Xin Zhiqing to have a chat at Wolong Villa outside the city. He then smashed the cup as a signal and besieged the Crown Prince at Wolong Villa, waiting for an opportunity to kill him.

However, no one expected that Xin Zhiqing actually received the Nine Yang Divine Art taught by His Majesty himself. In addition, the sacred beast tiger suddenly appeared, and General Hei was captured. Then he was exiled back to his hometown by His Majesty and was never allowed to enter the capital for the rest of his life.

A month later, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty suddenly sent a letter of surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty army and officials officially took control of the Southern Song Dynasty.

What followed was a six-month land reform, during which countless powerful people rose up in resistance but were ruthlessly suppressed by the Ming army.

Since then, the Central Plains has been unified.

A few months later, the Mongolian civil war ended, and the Mongolian prince Huodu seized the throne of Khan and announced his surrender to the Ming Dynasty, expressing his willingness to be a vassal forever.

The next day, Emperor Ming made a high-profile announcement that the ascension ceremony would be held on the day the Mongolian envoy entered the palace to receive the title.

At the subsequent ascension ceremony, under the gaze of countless ministers and envoys from various countries, Emperor Ming's body burst out with purple dragon shadows, breaking through the void and ascending to the fairyland.

Crown Prince Xin Zhiqing succeeded to the throne and honored Emperor Ming as Linlang Immortal Emperor.

Later, he issued an order to popularize nine-year compulsory education and establish a scientific research institute.

Three years later, the first steam engine in the Ming Dynasty came out.
