Chapter 256 Return to the Court

However, it is obvious that the current Master Ran Deng has not yet persuaded Jiang Yang. After all, he should be waiting for Jiang Yang's sister and father to die tragically.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to wait."

Li Qing thought to himself.

When Jiang Yang heard what Li Qing said, he frowned and asked, "How could this be?"

Li Qing smiled and said, "Xiqi promised a large reward to recruit some fence-sitters, so that's fine. I, the Great Shang, don't lack such people. What I lack are my father-in-law, my brother-in-law, and other loyal ministers like you!"

When Jiang Yang heard this, a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.

Jiang Huanchu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind."

Li Qing said, "That's absolutely true. My father-in-law, Jiang, has guarded this place for over a thousand years for me, the Great Shang. His contributions and hard work are so great that they cannot be described in words."

At this point, Li Qing nodded and said, "Yes! When I return, I will confer upon you, my father-in-law, the title of King of Donglu!"

"Your Majesty, you cannot do that!"

Jiang Huanchu was shocked when he heard this and quickly stood up and said, "Our Great Shang State has been established for thousands of years and has never granted fiefs to kings of different surnames! Your Majesty, please do not break this rule!"

Li Qing waved his hand and said, "Father-in-law's contribution is worthy of his honor. It's okay to break this rule."

"Your Majesty! Absolutely not!"

Seeing Li Qing's insistence on doing so, Jiang Huanchu was shocked and panicked. He was putting himself on the fire! How could it be so easy to be a king of a different surname?

He immediately walked out of the banquet table, prostrated himself before Li Qing, and shouted, "This old minister has been blessed by the state for generations. The late emperor bestowed upon me the title of Marquis of Dongbo, for which I am deeply grateful! How could I possibly dare to call myself a king? If Your Majesty insists on this, then I will have no choice but to resign the title of Marquis of Dongbo, lest I die of shame!"

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up, walked down from the upper seat, reached out and helped Jiang Huanchu up, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, okay, father-in-law, your words really touched me. In this case, I will not appoint you as the King of Donglu, but the title of Marquis of Dongbo will be hereditary and you will live with the country from now on!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huanchu immediately knelt down again and shouted loudly: "Old minister Jiang Huanchu! I bow to thank Your Majesty for your grace! Long live Your Majesty! Long live! Long, long live!"

"Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty! Long, long live His Majesty!"

For a moment, Jiang Yang and other Jiang family members, wives and concubines, as well as Jiang Yu, Taoist Ku Ze and other family servants, all knelt down with excitement on their faces and bowed loudly to Li Qing.

Li Qing returned to his seat with a smile, waving his hand and saying, "Everyone, please stand up! Come, I will continue the feast with you!"

"promise!"

Everyone got up upon hearing the sound and immediately started drinking with Li Qing again.

With Li Qing's words that the family will inherit the throne and live with the country, it is obvious that the enthusiasm of the Jiang family has reached its peak.

Li Qing naturally drank and ate meat with a smile.

joke……

Hereditary succession?

Rest with the country?

Even if Li Qing didn't say it, who would dare to say that the Jiang family of Dong Lu was not right?

Now, Li Qing just made this matter clear and confirmed it, and everything else remained the same as usual.

But this one word from the Human Emperor was more real than any reward, and the Jiang family was basically tied to the Shang Dynasty from then on.

"I don't believe that your Ji clan can make any promises... Could it be that you can give up your kingdom?"

Li Qing drank the wine with a smile on his face, thinking slowly in his heart.

The next day.

Jiang Yang led 8,000 personal guards of the Jiang family, and together with Jiang Yu and Ku Ze, escorted His Majesty to Chaoge.

Li Qing sat on a fairly good imperial sedan chair that was built overnight. He had a calm expression, slightly tilted his body, and looked ahead indifferently.

Eight thousand personal guards flew through the air, their speed neither fast nor slow.

At this rate, they can reach Chaoge City in about ten days.

Li Qing actually planned to go back by himself, but he could not resist Jiang Huanchu's persuasion. Li Qing had the demeanor of a human emperor, so how could it be proper for him to travel alone?

Helplessly, he had to be escorted by the army and slowly return to Chaoge.

"Ding! All thirty-eight tribes of the Western Desert have been annihilated. Complete the hidden mission and pacify the Western Desert. Receive the hidden mission reward, five points of national fortune."

"Ding, the Western Desert is pacified, the border is stable, and the Great Shang's national fortune has increased by three points."

"Ding, Human Emperor attribute points, increase by one point."

"Ding, the Human Emperor's Tyrannical Technique advances."

However, just as he was walking on the road, Li Qing suddenly heard a system prompt in his ears!

A gleam of light flashed in Li Qing's eyes for a moment!

At the same time, his aura increased even more!

Daluo Jinxian, level ten!

At this moment, his cultivation as a Daluo Jinxian was finally complete!

"The Grand Tutor is truly formidable. In just a dozen days, the Western Desert was pacified!"

After hearing the prompt from the system, Li Qing knew that the unrest and bandits in the Western Desert must have been completely wiped out by Wen Zhong's troops.

For a moment he was overjoyed.

The national fortune increased by eight points again. At this moment, the national fortune of his Great Shang has returned to a positive number!

Fifty!

"Xiqi, Xiqi, wait a minute..."

Li Qing's lips curled up slightly. After whispering, he looked up at the sky again and said slowly: "Number of days? Number of days, one by one, wait for me..."

The army marched.

Under Li Qing's urging, the ten-day journey was shortened to five days.

It was also very hard for those True Immortal guards, who had basically no rest for five days, to escort His Majesty the Human Emperor Li Qing from the far northeastern land of Donglu to the center of the Great Shang Dynasty, the Royal City of Chaoge!

In the royal city of Chaoge, all officials are on the same page!

These officials did not know when the Human Emperor Li Qing ran away again, but it was only about ten days in total, so these officials just thought that His Majesty was hiding it from them and was just out for a stroll.
