Lin Yu's life of traveling through time

Chapter 160: Survival in the Ancient World (29)

After Lin Yu successfully captured the capital of Wu State and imprisoned Wu Qifeng, Yu Wanwan and the prince of Qi State, he began to rectify the affairs of Wu State.

He sent capable ministers to appease the people, restore order, and directly implement a series of policies of the Han Dynasty, allowing the people of Wu to gradually adapt to the rule of the Han Dynasty.

It took several months of hard work to stabilize all matters in the former Wu territory. As for those who rebelled, Lin Yu asked Dai Rong and Huo Qing to go and pacify them.

The next day at court, the Grand Herald of the Honglu Temple reported, "Your Majesty, I have something to report. The King of Qi has sent a letter to our country, questioning why we have imprisoned their prince."

Before Lin Yu could say anything, Huo Qing sneered, "How shameless of Qi! He still has the nerve to ask why the prince of Qi would appear in a dog hole outside the Wu palace during the chaos of Wu. You know, Wu and Qi are mortal enemies. Could it be that the prince of Qi is collaborating with the enemy?"

In fact, everyone knows the reason, but is Qiguo really not aware of it? Now they are flattering and saying nice things, which is called delivering letters of credence, but in fact it is just an accusation!

Lin Yu looked at Mo Ziyang and asked, "Ziyang, the King of Qi shouldn't have been influenced by Yu Wanwan, right?"

"Your Majesty, although Qi is small, it has a relatively large royal family. The current king of Qi is quite old, already forty-seven, and has two princes. The one we captured is the youngest. Yu Wanwan has no chance to get close to the king of Qi, but the two princes have been deeply influenced by him."

"Is that so? Then the Emperor of Qi would be very happy to see Yu Wanwan captured and the Wu Kingdom destroyed. Is this question a sign of love for his son?"

Lin Yuru thought about it and asked, "Liang Yu, is there any news from Qiguo?"

"Your Majesty, there's news from Qi. According to our understanding, the Second Prince and the Crown Prince of Qi were planning to rescue Yu Wanwan. They received a letter from Wu Qifeng and secretly escaped to Wu without telling the Emperor of Qi to rescue Yu Wanwan. Upon learning that the Second Prince had been captured by our Han people, they became angry and sick."

Lin Yu frowned: "Is the news true? How could the king let the news spread if he is in poor health? Could it be..."

Wei Liangyu said, "Uh... the emperor fainted from anger, and it was the Crown Prince of Qi who took charge of the matter, so..."

Chu Suiyu sighed, "Prince Qi used to be a man of both civil and military talents, brave and resourceful. I never thought, Your Majesty, that Yu Wanwan would become so evil. Why do you still want to keep her around? It would be better to punish her."

"Your Majesty, please punish Yu Wanwan..."

……

All the civil and military officials in the hall requested in unison.

Lin Yu said, "We are also going to punish Yu Wanwan this time. Shi Zhongshou, Da Honglu, send invitations to other small countries, asking those who have been bewitched by Yu Wanwan to come to the Han Dynasty for a gathering. If it is a king who has been bewitched, tell them that if they want Yu Wanwan's return, they can come to the meeting. If it is a crown prince or a prince who has been bewitched, tell their king that we in the Han Dynasty have a way to restore their minds, but of course there are conditions: no war within ten years. You two will take care of the arrangements."

"He Lin, when the others arrive, bring Wu Qifeng, the Second Prince of Qi, and Lu Chengjin with you. I want them to see Yu Wanwan's head fall to the ground with their own eyes."

"Yes, we obey your command. Your Majesty is wise."

"Your Majesty, if we don't fight for ten years, when will we be able to unify the world?"

"Huang Wei, you reckless man, we just conquered Wu, we don't need time to absorb it. You just keep fighting when your foundation is unstable. Even though the Dirong people on the grassland have become part of us, they still need time to integrate. Don't forget that the Mo'nan Hu people showed signs of fighting back a while ago."

"Li Shikang, you only know how to oppose me. I just want to take action in one fell swoop."

"What a joke! A dozen small nations, though small, can unite and try! The conquest of Wu has already alerted the surrounding nations, and you're still trying to do it all at once! Tsk, you're stupid."

"you……"

"Ahem... quiet, why are you two arguing again? The ten years are left for us to develop. As long as the weapons are built, life is stable, and there is a good harvest, it is time for us to make a concerted effort." Lin Yu was speechless when he saw the two of them arguing. This has become a must-have program in court.

"Huo Qing, Zalamu, the two of you will set off tomorrow and work with Zhang Chenglong and his brother to reorganize the grasslands for me. Since the Mo'nan barbarians don't want to stay, tell them to get out of here."

"Your Majesty, please let me go too. General Huang Wei is begging for your permission."

Lin Yu looked at Huang Wei's eager expression and held his forehead. He hadn't forgotten how Huang Wei said he was on steroids during the war against Wu. He couldn't sit still when he heard about fighting. If he really didn't let him go, he'd be annoyed by him every day.

"Alright, I agree. Huo Qing, keep him under my watch. Don't let him run wild when a fight breaks out."

Huo Qing suppressed his smile and replied, "Yes, I will obey your orders and will definitely look after General Huang Wei."

"Mo Ziyang, we must continue our infiltration of other countries. It would be best if our people could occupy important positions. They don't need to be high-ranking, but we need people from all walks of life. The best outcome would be if we could do it without losing a single soldier. Stay safe."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will train talents well."

After Lin Yu arranged a series of matters, he rubbed his eyebrows tiredly.

After dismissing the court, Lin Yu returned to the palace, where Yan Ping and Qin Su were waiting for him.

"Your Majesty, you work so hard, please take care of your health." Yan Ping said with concern.

Lin Yu smiled and said, "How can I rest in peace when the situation is like this? I'm grateful to you and your wife for taking care of Hu Zi and Ya Ya these days. Yan Ping, please be alert during this period. We must not let anything happen to the three people imprisoned in the Royal Villa."

"Yes."

Qin Su handed over a cup of tea and said, "Your Majesty, are you sure you can make those small countries submit?"

Lin Yu took a sip of tea and said, "They both hate and fear Yu Wanwan. As long as we operate properly, we don't have to worry about them not coming."

At the same time, Shi Zhongshou and the Grand Herald began to prepare for the invitations to various countries. When the news spread, all the countries fell into chaos.

Some monarchs were hesitant, worried that this was a trap set by the Han Dynasty; some monarchs whose crown princes were bewitched by Yu Wanwan held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that the Han Dynasty could really restore their descendants' minds.
