Chapter 531: See the 9 Heavenly Gods Again
On June 18th of the first year of the Qi calendar and the fifteenth year of the Yulong calendar, the Qi and Yulong states jointly attacked the Liao Dynasty, and the Liao Dynasty was destroyed.
Xie Zhaozhao and Yin Jinan were both friendly and humble, and finally decided to divide the Liao Dynasty equally, with the eastern half belonging to the Yulong Kingdom and the western half to the Qi Kingdom.
The territory of Qi State directly doubled.
The whole army cheered. This was the honor of a lifetime, enough to go down in history.
The Liao Dynasty had a vast territory, countless grasslands, cattle, sheep and horses, as well as various resources such as coal mines. The land was vast and the population was sparse, which was a godsend for the Qi State.
Xie Zhaozhao and Yin Jinan agreed to go back and stabilize state affairs first. Three months later, they would go to the Queen's Empire together to find Lu Feiyan to help Yin Jinan detoxify.
Xie Zhaozhao looked at Jiutian nestling in Yin Jinan's arms, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
She gave Jiutian a dozen sets of summer and autumn clothes: "These were sewed by your aunt Yuanyuan and aunt Manman, and the shoes were sewed by... me myself."
Jiutian likes those little shoes and boots the most. They are soft, beautiful and extremely comfortable.
Jiu Tian hugged her neck and said, "Your Majesty Emperor An, you smell so good. It's my favorite smell."
Xie Zhaozhao pinched her little face and said, "For me, little baby Jiutian is better than anything in the world."
Jiutian was very happy and promised Xie Zhaozhao: "When my second uncle recovers, I will go to Yulong with him as a guest."
Both sides said goodbye and left reluctantly.
Yin Jinan took Jiutian and Gu Bahuang to pacify the conquered people of Liao Dynasty one by one, and then quickly returned to the capital.
Emperor Yangsheng was imprisoned in the cold palace, but he was very stubborn and had not died yet.
Clamoring to see the "new emperor".
Yin Jinan really wanted to trample this shameless cheap father to death with both feet, and said to Xiahou Yan: "Go tell him that I am busy and have no time to see him."
Emperor Yang Sheng is not dead, but he is not living a good life either. Now he is huddled like a walnut, and Xiahou Yan hardly dares to recognize him.
"I am almost dying." said Emperor Yangsheng.
"......" Xiahou Yan thought to himself, if I can't make it anymore, I'd better die quickly.
"What is Ao Tiandi? What is so arrogant about him? Ahem, ahem, so unfilial!"
"You killed Queen Mother Wei, killed your Majesty's biological mother, and killed so many people, and you still want your Majesty to be filial to you?"
"I am his biological father!" Emperor Yang Sheng did not agree with his venomous words, "I heard that the Liao Dynasty was defeated?"
"What? You don't believe it? Do you want to go and test it yourself?"
"Let me tell you - now all of Tianshan will belong to Qi."
"So what? Your Majesty relies on no one but yourself and the people."
"Don't you know that Tianshan is inhabited by Wei Mu's maternal family and is the home of the spirit race?"
"I know, but I don't want to bother with it. When you and others killed Queen Mother Wei, no one dared to come out and kill you. Why should we bother with such spirits?"
Emperor Yang Sheng could no longer bear it and said, "Do you know what the spirits are planning? Why do you think they were originally against Wei Mu marrying me, but later agreed? They want to enter the world."
"His Majesty said, it's up to you, come or not, if you want, treat those with good intentions to a meal, if not, just kill them."
"..."
After several months of busy day and night, the Liao Dynasty took over smoothly, and the people settled down and recuperated.
On October 16th of the first year of the Qi calendar, Yin Jinan arranged everything for Wang Can and Gu Bahuang. He quietly left the palace, took Xiahou Yan and Yang Hanfeng, and selected 500 tiger and leopard cavalry to set off for Changhe Town in Yulong Kingdom to meet up with Xie Zhaozhao.
After entering Yulong, Yin Jinan realized how powerful Yulong was and how backward Qi was.
In Changhe Town, as soon as you enter Yulong, you will immediately see a wide and smooth "road" that can accommodate ten carriages running side by side!
What does it mean? There is a road, half of which is in Yulong and the other half is in Qi. It is divided by the boundary line. One side is a bumpy dirt road and the other side is a flat stone road.
On one side, there were ten carriages running side by side, and on the other side, there was only one carriage barely passing.
In Changhe Town, high-rise buildings of five stories or more can be seen everywhere, while in Qi State and the capital, there are no five-story buildings.
Qi was a bustling city with the sounds of hawking filled the streets. The streets were filled with a wide variety of goods, including exquisite porcelain and smooth, soft silk. Ordinary people could buy a piece to take home, but in Qi only nobles could afford them.
Xie Zhaozhao met some officials on the way to report on their work and arrived one day later than Yin Jinan. Yin Jinan took Jiutian around the streets that day.
When he returned to the inn at night, he found that the inn was different. This inn was also different from when he was in Daqian.
Today's inns are no longer made of wood, but are solid houses made of a combination of clay and bricks and stones, with full-body glazed windows.
This colored glass has good transparency, and the large pieces of colored glass make the guest room bright and spacious.
He touched it with his hand and exclaimed: "The Yulong Kingdom is so advanced, no wonder the Living Guanyin made such good weapons."
She is truly an extraordinary woman of her generation.
Xie Zhaozhao arrived at Changhe Town the next day.
Zhou Shaoyu did not come this time, but the Princess of Qi came - Xie Yu's wife Zhou Tangtang, and brought twin siblings Xie Xingye and Xie Xingwan.
Xie Xingye and Xie Xingwan are a few months older than Zhou Qiheng.
Xie Xingwan looked at Jiutian and liked him very much.
Zhou Tangtang was so excited that tears fell from her eyes. She was originally an extremely strong-willed and generous woman. When she was a princess, she was just like Yin Jinan, who used a horsewhip to beat all the treacherous and unfair people.
After giving birth to the twins Xie Xingye and Xie Xingwan, she gave birth to three more sons five years later. The youngest one played with the Empress Dowager at home.
Xie Xingye and Xie Xingwan are almost sixteen years old. Xie Xingye won the first place in this year's provincial examination and was awarded the title of Jieyuan.
Xie Xingwan is engaged to Zhang Yanyan's son, Prince Ning Liu Qingyun, and the two families have agreed to hold the wedding in March or May next year.
Yin Jinan was feeling an indescribable trance.
Xie Yu’s children are all about to get married, right?
No, the living Guanyin's son is already the prince of the most powerful country. Seeing Xie Zhaozhao like this, it seems like he wants to pass the responsibility to his son.
Zhou Tangtang held Jiutian on her lap, spread her hair out, and gently combed the little hair on her head.
"Jiutian, are you a vegetarian?"
"No, I eat meat, but I don't eat much. I like to eat steamed cakes soaked in water."
With just one sentence, Zhou Tangtang couldn't help crying.
"Princess Qi, please don't cry. I do like pancakes. My second uncle gives me a lot of meat, but I can't eat that. I'm not destined to be rich. If I eat too much, I'll die."
It would have been better if she didn't say it. Once she said it, Zhou Tangtang and Xie Zhaozhao both cried.
Zhou Tangtang parted her hair and combed it into two small bunches. Her hair was a little thin, so the small bunches were just small clumps. Zhou Tangtang used a red silk ribbon to wrap it around her hair, and used rouge to dot a flower ornament on her forehead.
Jiutian looked in the mirror and said with a smile, "It looks good."
Xie Xingwan said: "Princess sister, if you like, I will braid your hair in different ways every day."
Jiu Tian shook his head and said, "No need, Taoists don't need to be so fancy, just tie a Taoist bun, it won't affect your meditation."
Zhou Tangtang tied her hair into a bun, and Jiutian pinched her little hands and said, "Princess Qi, can I tell you your fortune?"
Zhou Tangtang said carelessly, "Will your calculations like this reveal the secret?"
"No." Jiu Tian pinched her hands and shook her head after a while, "Qi Wangfu, you are good in everything, but Sister Xing Wan is not so good. Her wedding with Ning Junwang will be in three years."
"Why?" Zhou Tangtang and Xie Xingwan were surprised at the same time.
Xie Zhaozhao always had a bad feeling in his heart. Three years? Was this mourning?
As expected, Jiu Tian said, "Prince Ning's mother will die next month."
Next month? Isn't that November? Xie Zhaozhao's face suddenly changed. Prince Ning's mother was Zhang Yanyan.
She was afraid of scaring Jiu Tian, so she gently touched her little hair and asked, "Why did Princess Ning die?"
"In a room, suffocated by burning charcoal."
