Chapter 1539 One Year Later
One year later, Dongqing was back on track in all aspects.
At this time, emperors and court officials of other countries heard more news about Dong Qing.
In fact, they had heard about it half a year ago.
But at that time they didn't take it seriously, thinking that Prince Jun Xiao Lanyuan was just trying to survive because he was forced into a desperate situation by Emperor Zhao.
In the past, various countries had sent people to investigate the Dongqing ruins. Some failed to find it, while others found a small part and then found that it was a deserted city that had "died" in the river of history.
It would cost a lot of manpower and resources, and they already had a good kingdom, so naturally they didn't put much effort into continuing the investigation.
So in many people's minds, Dongqing is like that. What's the point of finding the ruins? Without people, everything is in vain.
If we ask them to send a lot of people over here, it would probably be a lot of hard work and I don't know how much gold and silver they would have to invest to complete the construction.
Although everyone is interested in Dongqing’s former rich resources, they are not interested in reclaiming the land.
Therefore, even though they knew that Xiao Lanyuan had brought people to Dongqing and actually settled down in Dongqing, they did not take it too seriously at first.
Because Min State is too far away, it would take about half a year to send people over to investigate and then report back.
Emperor Dahe was deeply entangled in the affair with his younger sister, Princess Fuyun, and could not extricate himself. He went further and further, causing resentment among several princes and concubines. Inside and outside the palace, the voices of condemnation against Princess Fuyun grew louder and louder, and dissatisfaction with Emperor Dahe also intensified.
After two years of palace fighting, Dahe finally emerged as an unknown fourth prince and seized the throne.
The fourth prince was once saved by Princess Fuyun when he was young, and after he ascended the throne, he saved Princess Fuyun.
However, Princess Fuyun was not allowed to stay in the capital or the palace. Finally, Princess Fuyun was sent to the imperial mausoleum, where she chanted scriptures and practiced meditation.
When the news reached Dong Qing, Fu Zhaoning felt a sense of fate for a moment.
"Princess Fuyun grew up in the imperial mausoleum before returning to the palace. I didn't expect that she would be sent back to the imperial mausoleum after six or seven years."
Princess Nanci and An Qing were with her and were also moved when they heard this.
"If the former Princess Fuyun knew her fate, would she still return to the palace?"
The entanglement between her and His Majesty Dahe must have exhausted her energy.
"Nothing can be known in advance, so we still have to live every day to the fullest." An Qing sighed.
"That's quite philosophical." Fu Zhaoning laughed.
"I heard that the fight between several aristocratic families and the royal family in Min State has come to a temporary end."
"And Zhaoguo has recovered now. Shouldn't we focus on Dongqing?"
Princess Nanci was a little worried about Dong Qing.
Although Dongqing has been developing and growing rapidly in the past two years, she doesn't know whether a small country like Dongqing can survive safely against a big country like Zhaoguo Dahe.
"We have developed our national defense cannon. Dongqing has built its city wall this year, and ten cannons have been set up in the border city. No matter which country attacks us, we will take the initiative and shock them first."
Fu Zhaoning is a little confident.
"And we didn't just do these defensive things. Xiao Lanyuan is not that upright." Fu Zhaoning blinked.
