Chapter 507: Something Strange About the Wu Family
Hearing Lu Chen's answer, Wu Yunwan couldn't believe it. Her good sister led troops to attack the barbarians, but how could she end up forming an alliance with the barbarians?
Dayue and the barbarians can be regarded as old enemies. When Dayue was first established, the barbarians had gathered their troops to attack Dayue many times.
There is a deep blood feud between the people of Dayue and the barbarians. When it comes to the barbarians, the people of Dayue hate them with gnashing teeth. Now they have reconciled.
The barbarians even became a part of Dayue, and even the barbarian goddess became the national teacher of Dayue?
Seeing that Wu Yunwan didn't speak, Lu Chen said: "You also find it unbelievable, right?"
"When I first got this information, I also felt incredible, but this is what has happened."
Wu Yunwan said: "So, Dayue already has the barbarian battle formation?"
A long time ago, Lu Chen told her that the barbarian battle formation is likely to have the ability to fight against the gods.
Now that Dayue has annexed the barbarians, and the barbarian goddess has also formed an alliance with Emperor Yue, doesn't that mean that Dayue's army also has the barbarian battle formation?
In this way, it may be very difficult for Daxia to destroy Dayue.
Lu Chen said: "According to the intelligence of the spies, Dayue's army has indeed been practicing the battle formation given by the barbarian goddess."
"But whether it can be fully utilized to fight against the gods, I'm afraid we can only know it in actual combat."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Wu Yunwan fell silent again.
At this time, Lu Chen's other hand gently stroked Wu Yunwan's belly, and while stroking, he said: "I know it's difficult for you to be caught between Emperor Yue and me, so you don't have to worry about the things between Emperor Yue and me. I promise you that even if Dayue loses, I will find a way to keep her alive."
Lu Chen is not sure whether Emperor Yue will commit suicide like Emperor Wu, but whether Emperor Yue will commit suicide or not, Emperor Yue, as Wu Yunwan's life and death friend, he will find a way to keep her alive.
Now that Wu Yunwan's motherland has been destroyed and her father has committed suicide, Emperor Yue is the only spiritual support besides her husband.
If something happens to Emperor Yue, Wu Yunwan will probably be hit hard.
Although Lu Chen is not a good person, he doesn't want to see his woman sad.
After hearing Lu Chen's promise, Wu Yunwan sighed slightly and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
As soon as the voice fell, Wu Yunwan's arms unconsciously hugged Lu Chen's waist, and the whole person nestled in Lu Chen's arms.
The two did not speak again, just hugged each other quietly.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Lu Chen went to the Council Hall.
Lu Chen also wanted to accompany Wu Yunwan more, but Dawu had been destroyed. How to govern Dawu next is a big problem. Today's court meeting is very important, and he can't stay in Wu Yunwan's bed.
In the early morning, before the officials of Yancheng entered the Council Hall, they knew the news of the destruction of Dawu. All the ministers were very excited. Daxia suddenly had such a large piece of land, and they had something to do next.
For most ministers, this is a great opportunity. As long as they can handle some governance issues of Dawu, they are very likely to be promoted, so most officials are quite excited.
Today's court meeting was presided over by Lu Chen himself, and the main discussion was on the governance issues of Dawu.
After a day of discussion, the governance plan of Dawu was finally decided, which was similar to the plan in Lu Chen's mind at the beginning. The royal family and vassal kings of Dawu all moved to Yancheng. As for some powerful families, they were solved. At the same time, Daxia will send a large number of Daxia officials to Dawu as local officials.
However, in order to ease the resistance of local people, some local people in Dawu will still be selected as local officials, and Lu Chen plans to conduct the imperial examination in the Dawu area in two years. If they can pass the examination, they will have the opportunity to become officials.
As for the general amnesty, Lu Chen would not do such a thing. Lu Chen only planned to release those who were imprisoned because of political struggles. As for those criminals who committed crimes, they would all be dealt with according to the laws of Daxia.
After the Dawu governance plan came out, all officials of Daxia began to get busy.
A month later.
A huge convoy appeared outside Yancheng.
The people sitting in those carriages were the royal family members of Dawu.
Although Dawu had surrendered, they surrendered to the army of Dawu. When they arrived in Yancheng, the representatives of Dawu would once again hold a surrender ceremony in front of the people of Daxia and bow down to Lu Chen.
Wu Junwan didn't want to see this scene in her heart, but in the end she still held back and followed Lu Chen to the outside of the city.
Soon, Lu Chen's luxurious carriage appeared outside Yancheng.
When the members of the Dawu royal family saw the luxurious carriage, they all felt nervous.
Although Emperor Xia said that he would spare their lives, no one knew whether Emperor Xia would regret it.
As for the saying that a king never jokes, it simply does not exist for an emperor with great power.
Moreover, Emperor Xia has countless ways to get rid of them without anyone noticing.
At this time, the general guarding the carriage shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived!"
As soon as the voice fell, all the common people present, including the soldiers on the tower, knelt down and saluted, "Greetings to Your Majesty, long live the emperor!"
The sound of people saluting resounded through the sky and lasted for a long time.
At this time, all the members of the Dawu royal family also knelt down.
Lu Chen glanced at the royal family members of Dawu, and soon he found a familiar figure among them.
When Wu Ming, the second prince of Dawu, felt Lu Chen's gaze, he was so scared that he trembled all over.
Lu Chen just smiled faintly and didn't say anything to Wu Ming.
Lu Chen then said: "No need to be polite!"
Then people's voices rang again, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Then everyone stood up.
Wu He immediately walked towards Lu Chen with a wooden plate in his hand. The wooden plate contained the jade seal and the letter of surrender. When he was about to walk in front of Lu Chen, Wu He knelt down and said loudly: "The sinner Wu He, pays homage to Your Majesty!"
Lu Chen was about to let him exempt himself from the formalities according to the procedure, but suddenly realized that something was wrong. For some reason, he always felt that Wu He was emitting some black air.
To be precise, there was black air on his forehead.
Lu Chen then glanced at the other royal family members of Dawu. Not all royal family members had black air, only some did, and these people were the direct bloodline of Emperor Wu, that is, the children of Emperor Wu.
And they have one thing in common, that is, they all have a mark on their foreheads.
Lu Chen frowned, feeling something was wrong.
Seeing that Lu Chen did not let Wu He stand up, everyone present was very confused. According to the procedure, Lu Chen should accept Wu He's salute, and then the Da Wu royal family would be considered a member of Da Xia.
People thought to themselves, could it be that Emperor Xia regretted it? That's why he didn't take the jade seal and the letter of state from Wu He's hand?
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chen finally said, "No need to be polite, Wu Aiqing, stand up!"
Hearing this, Wu He and a group of Da Wu royal family members were relieved. They thought Lu Chen was going to regret it.
Lu Chen then took up Da Wu's jade seal from Wu He's wooden tray and glanced at it, and then took Da Wu's letter of surrender and looked at it.
After finding out that there were no problems, Lu Chen said, "From today on, the Wu family is a member of Daxia. I hope you can integrate into Daxia as soon as possible and start a new life."
Hearing this, the members of the Dawu royal family knelt down again, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" (End of this chapter)
