Demoting the Wife to a Concubine? The Reborn Legitimate Daughter Crippled his Entire Family.

At the end of the twelfth lunar month, Ji Yucang's army arrived in the Western Zhou Dynasty, just in time to spend New Year's Eve in the Western Zhou palace.

This was also his first official meeting with the Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The mood and attitude of the leaders of the two countries in their first meeting were rare and calm.

"The high priest said before his death that the destiny of heaven cannot be violated."

The emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty was in his thirties, with an upright and majestic face, and his brows and eyes showed the majesty and solemnity of a superior.

However, at this moment, he was sitting on the Dragon Throne. Even though his body was straight and he was trying to maintain the dignity of the king of a country, he could not shake the despair and decadence in his eyes.

Most people who have been emperors have this kind of consciousness. The country can be destroyed, the family can be destroyed, the head can be killed, but the dignity cannot be lost.

This was true for Yan Yunshuo of Nan Zhao, and so was the emperor of Western Zhou Dynasty.

However, when the country is ruined and the family is in ruins, how can we maintain our dignity?

Ji Yucang sat on another chair, with a leisurely posture and an indifferent expression: "What the high priest said is right, but some people insist on going against fate."

"Didn't you go against the will of heaven?" The Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty looked at him and said calmly, "If my guess is correct, the woman who led the troops to attack the Western Zhou Dynasty this time should be the former Princess Zhaohua."

Ji Yucang raised his eyebrows slightly: "The high priest didn't tell you?"

"He doesn't want to say it." The Emperor of Western Zhou Dynasty smiled faintly, but his smile was a bit dead. "Maybe it's because this is indeed an act against heaven, so as the high priest, he knows that he knowingly committed the crime."

"Since you said that God's will cannot be violated, then just do whatever it takes." Ji Yucang said, "You are worried about the fate of your country, so driving a wedge between King Nanzhao and the eldest princess is something that cannot be done. In this case , I am correcting things that have gone wrong, this is called bringing order out of chaos.”

"The winner can say whatever he wants." The Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty sneered, "If it hadn't been for the murder of Princess Zhaohua, you would have joined forces to conquer the world for the sake of imperial supremacy. Princess Zhaohua was killed, and you fought for hegemony under the banner of revenge. You still have a good reputation. In short, it’s all you who say it, and the result will not change.”

Ji Yucang was silent for a long time, and suddenly realized that what he said made sense.

"His Majesty the Emperor is right." Shen Ning, dressed in military uniform, walked in from the outside, holding a bow in her hand. Her figure was slender but tall and imposing, "Whether Princess Zhaohua dies or not, the fate is destined to be the end." It won’t change, it’s just that the reasons are different. One is for imperial supremacy, the other is for revenge, and the final outcome is still the determined outcome.”

It can be seen from this that the high priest only plays a role of faith in the royal family and cannot change the result of exhaustion at all.

When Ji Yucang saw her coming, his eyebrows softened unconsciously.

Standing up, he smiled and said: "The concubine has contributed a lot to this expedition to the Western Zhou Dynasty. All the civil and military officials of the Yong Kingdom are waiting for you to go back and discuss your merits and reward them."

"What reward are you going to give me?" Shen Ning raised her eyebrows, "Just let me be the Empress of the Western Zhou Dynasty."

The reason why she refused to become the empress of Nan Zhao before was because she was not the one who conquered Nan Zhao. The person who really made the contribution was Chu Yunxiao, while the achievements of the Western Zhou Dynasty were entirely due to her and the Feifeng Army.

"Okay." Ji Yucang nodded without any hesitation, "The Yong Dynasty, the Queen of the Western Zhou Dynasty, can serve as regent, lead troops, and share the world with the new emperor."

Shen Ning looked playful: "Such a big deal?"

"Not big." Ji Yucang's tone was gentle and domineering, "If you are willing, it doesn't matter if the whole world gives it to you. As a husband, I am willing to take care of my wife and raise my children."

The Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty sat on a chair, listening to the couple's show of affection without saying a word, his dark eyes narrowed slightly.

Marrying a wife and raising children?

The cold-faced and ruthless regent of the Yong Kingdom was really cold when it came to making cold jokes.

"Wait until you can give birth to a son." Shen Ning replied expressionlessly, turning to look at the Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty, "Similar to Nan Zhao and Mo Bei, we will kill all corrupt officials because they deserve to die. Western Zhou After the country is destroyed, they will deserve to die as ministers of the country.”

"As for some officials who are capable and serve the country and the people, we can continue to reuse them as long as they are willing."

Officials have no soldiers, so there is no need to worry about rebellion.

Therefore, there is no need to kill them all like the royal family. Leaving some available officials can effectively stabilize the turbulent situation after the country is broken.

The Emperor of Western Zhou Dynasty did not speak.

The king of the subjugated country has no right to speak, and it is not up to him to decide how the officials of the Western Zhou Dynasty will deal with it.

Ji Yucang held Shen Ning's hand: "Let's go out first."

Elite soldiers were stationed inside and outside the imperial city, and there was a murderous atmosphere everywhere. The sound of a woman crying in the distance was heard, mixed with fear, uneasiness and despair, making those who heard it sad.

He Hongying stood on the tower, wearing a military uniform and looking heroic. Looking at Ji Yucang and Shen Ning coming up, she turned around and asked: "After the New Year, is it the time for all things to revive?"

"Yes." Shen Ning nodded slowly, looking at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, "New year, new dynasty, new atmosphere."

Everything is a new beginning.
