Everyone else stepped aside, but Zheng Qiu and Fatty Wang stayed behind, standing on either side of Gu Xin.
Only they and a group of envoys from the south remained in the room.
After thinking for a moment, Lord Jiang decided to start with the royal family of Nanlin.
The Nanlin Kingdom has a history of several hundred years. Their ancestors should have come from the coast of Jiangnan in the Great Zhou Dynasty. According to records, their ancestors made a living by fishing in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
They were living a good life, but they inadvertently offended a powerful figure who even wanted to wipe out the entire village. The village elders discussed that since they couldn't avoid it anyway, they might as well run away.
Many people from their village went to sea, so after the decision was made, the entire village set sail over three days. Some people did not survive at sea due to various problems, and in the end, only a little over a hundred people made it to Nanlin today.
They intermarried with the local people of Nanlin, learned Nanlin's script and language, and eventually, their ambitions grew, so they established a regime. After hundreds of years of development, Nanlin had a total of twenty cities and a considerable population. Apart from the occasional encounter with pirates, they had basically no other wars.
In the Long family of Nanlin Kingdom, there is no special rule that the king must be male. The most outstanding person is chosen to inherit the throne. If a woman inherits the throne, the queen will marry and have children. If a man inherits the throne, it is the same as in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The royal family of Nanlin does not have many offspring. The largest king has only five children. Therefore, there is basically no phenomenon of brothers and sisters fighting for the throne in Nanlin. Whoever is chosen will be put into management and familiar with government affairs at an early age.
And the one who will inherit the throne this time is Princess Dragon Ball.
The current King of Nanlin is the only one in hundreds of years of history who has no sons but only daughters. He has three daughters. Long Zhu'er is the second princess. The eldest princess is two years older than Long Zhu'er, and the third princess is three years younger than Long Zhu'er.
The three sisters are all adults now. The eldest and third princesses have already found husbands, while Long Zhu'er is being groomed to be the crown prince and has not yet married, although she has male concubines in her household.
The King and Queen of Nanlin have yet to find a son-in-law who can share the great cause with their daughter.
When the three sisters were young, they had the same teachers and learned the same things. However, Princess Longzhu was particularly gifted. The teachers praised her, and even the ministers thought she was capable.
Therefore, the King of Nanlin chose her instead of the older princess.
When Dragon Ball turned fourteen, the sixteen-year-old eldest princess already had a husband. She withdrew from some important matters and settled down at home to be a wife and mother, enjoying life.
When Dragon Ball turned eighteen last year, the fifteen-year-old Third Princess also got married, while she was still learning things.
As for Long Zhu'er herself, in Lord Jiang's eyes, she is a qualified successor of their Nanlin Kingdom. Regardless of her literary and martial skills or strategy, since the past two years, Long Zhu'er has been able to represent the Nanlin Kingdom in negotiations with the Grand General of Jiacang and the King of Dongzhe.
Moreover, she is able to handle every single matter well.
Therefore, in the eyes of Lord Jiang and the other ministers, Long Zhu'er was the best, their king. They didn't know if she could compare to General Shi Mu of Jia Cang, but compared to Prince Tian Tian of Dong Zhe, their second princess was much more reliable.
