Chapter 148 Youth Song 30
Ye Xiaoying looked at Xiao Ruofeng with his lips trembling. This man appeared at this time, what else did he not understand.

"Oh, why do you always make things difficult for me? You are still alive, but in order to protect this man's throne, you would rather flee far away and fake your death. You have never contacted us in the past five years. Xiao Ruofeng, Xiao Ruofeng, you are really great."

Ye Xiaoying spoke slowly, with a slight tremor in his tone.

Xiao Ruofeng landed gracefully in front of Ye Xiaoying, with a complicated heart, but chuckled and said, "So, isn't this my daughter coming to pay off my debt? It's only right that a daughter pays off a father's debt."

In the past, the people behind him pushed him to that position. In fact, it was not all their fault. If he could give up everything and leave the court when his elder brother ascended to the throne, stay away from the world, and not be the Grand Protector who was second only to the emperor and above everyone else, and did not hold so much power in his hands, perhaps they would not have such thoughts about him.

They followed him because they admired him and hoped that he would take that position, but he ultimately disappointed them.

At that time, he cared about Beili's safety and his brother's throne and was willing to die, but he also ignored the group of people following him, causing some of them to die and some to disperse.

Later, what the baby said to him was absolutely correct. He was not in that position but took on the responsibilities that belonged to that position. He took on the responsibilities but was unwilling to sit in a suitable position. If responsibilities do not match the position, there will be disaster.

From the moment he gave up the throne to his brother, he was destined to end up on the execution ground four years ago.

With a prince as prestigious and powerful as him constantly reminding his brother that his throne was given to him by his younger brother, it would be inevitable for him to feel resentful over time.

No one will mind if something they have fought for with all their might is given up by others without a second thought, because if you give it up today, you can snatch it away tomorrow.

Ye Xiaoying looked at Ling Xi with his sharp eyes, and then replied to Xiao Ruofeng: "Your daughter is more capable than you, you must be responsible."

Faced with such straightforward words, Xiao Ruofeng was stunned and then smiled helplessly.

"Your Majesty." After talking to Ye Xiaoying, Xiao Ruofeng looked at Emperor Mingde, but he called him "Your Majesty" instead of "Brother".

I’m afraid I won’t be able to call you brother anymore.

Xiao Ruofeng had complicated feelings towards Emperor Mingde. They had depended on each other since childhood and were the only two closest relatives in that cannibalistic palace. Therefore, he was able to tear up the will without any burden and let Emperor Mingde sit on the throne. However, he did not expect that his concession would make his brother mind so much, so that their brotherhood could never go back to the past.

Emperor Mingde had been in a trance since Xiao Ruofeng appeared. It was not until Xiao Ruofeng spoke to him that he realized that this was not a dream and that his brother Xiao Ruofeng was really still alive.

He hurried forward, but because of his weak body, he staggered and could only rely on Xiao Se's support to walk in front of Xiao Ruofeng.

"Ruofeng."

Emperor Mingde's hands trembled slightly, and he wanted to pat Xiao Ruofeng on the shoulder, but in the end he let it go sadly.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruofeng's eyes flashed with emotion, but it disappeared in an instant.

Ling Xi held the Tianzhan Sword and walked up to his brother and Xiao Se.

Xiao Se teased, "Xiao Baobao, you hid it very well."

The emperor's uncle is still alive, and he doesn't want the throne. Since Xiao Baobao has obtained the permission of the Heavenly Sword, Xiao Se naturally supports his sister.

Ling Xi crossed his arms and smiled, "It's not that deep. At least many people know about it besides you."

Wangcheng Mountain, Xueyue City, Wushuang City, Dark River, aren’t these things known to many people?

Xiao Se couldn't help but wonder if his news was out of date.

Emperor Mingde conveyed the imperial edict orally, but issued another decree the next day. Now, the whole Tianqi City knew that the emperor had been changed, and the new emperor was the daughter of King Langya.

The news also spread in the martial arts world. Although the various sects that received the news talked about it, the martial arts world and the court were originally unrelated to each other, so they did not pay much attention to it.

She was entrusted with the mission of wielding the Heaven-Slaying Sword, and had the power of the Langya Army and the Ye Camp behind her, as well as the support of Xiao Ruofeng, Xiao Lingchen, Xiao Chuhe and a large number of other people. So even though Ling Xi was a woman, the court officials of Beili did not dare to object. Of course, some of those who were not afraid of death were thrown into jail by Ling Xi in a swift and decisive manner.

An unprecedented coronation ceremony of a female emperor was held seven days later.

It was not until she sat on the dragon throne, which symbolized the highest power, and looked down at the densely packed courtiers below that Ling Xi felt like she was the emperor.

Standing at the highest position will indeed give people the illusion of being on top of the world and overlooking all the other mountains.

However, standing at the highest position also means taking on the greatest responsibility and the greatest expectations of the common people. After Ling Xi ascended the throne, Xiao Chuhe, Xiao Chong and Xiao Yu were still the Prince of Yong'an, the Prince of Bai and the Prince of Chi. All three of them were very capable, so Ling Xi naturally had to catch them and use them as labor, otherwise it would be too hard for her to be the emperor.

Lei Wujie, Ling Xi's younger brother, was thrown into the army and taught by Ye Xiaoying, so that he could take over Ye Xiaoying's position and take charge of the military power in the future.

Although Ye Ruoyi is a woman, she is very smart and strategic, so Ling Xi arranged her to be a female official in the court.

This is a promising candidate that Ling Xi believes will become the prime minister in the future.

Then, Ling Xi sent several letters to Xueyue City, Wushuang City, Wangcheng Mountain, and Anhe respectively.

In less than two days, people from several forces rushed to Tianqi City.

Afterwards, Ling Xi joined forces with Xueyue City, Wushuang City, and Wangcheng Mountain to discuss and formulate a set of laws and regulations regarding the martial arts world, stipulating that heroes should not break the law with force. If people in the martial arts world wantonly harm the people and endanger their lives and property safety, the people can report it to the government, and the court will send people to arrest the criminals and will not stop until they are brought to justice.

The competitions among the people in the martial arts world were arranged in the western city of Muliang, a deserted city built casually.

That’s right, Mu Liangcheng was taken back by Ling Xi. She made a deal with Yi Wenjun and Luo Qingyang, exchanging Yi Wenjun for Mu Liangcheng.

For Ling Xi, exchanging a woman for a city, although immoral, was indeed a good deal. As an emperor, she naturally wanted to solve the problem at the lowest cost.

After Muliang City was taken back, Ling Xi arranged for people to take over, but the place was originally deserted, so Ling Xi planned to build Muliang City into a city for people of the martial arts world.

There are many fighting arenas set up in Muliang City, and there is a concentrated time for competition every year. Apart from this, people in the martial arts world are not allowed to fight and kill at will.

As for Anhe, after Ling Xi consulted Su Changhe and others for their opinions, some people who were willing to serve the court were arranged in the Supervisory Department, which was specifically responsible for monitoring people and things in the underworld, as well as arresting some underworld people who had committed crimes and escaped.

The Tang Clan also had the task of supervision. After all, the Tang Clan's reputation had fallen because of the Heroes' Banquet incident, so working for the court was a way to preserve its reputation.

The fat little Feixuan inherited the position of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory's state teacher at a young age. The former state teacher Qi Tianchen retired and concentrated on practicing, striving to break through to the divine realm as soon as possible.

Three months after Ling Xi ascended the throne, Nan Jue launched an invasion. Ye Xiaoying was the commander-in-chief, and Xiao Chuhe, Xiao Lingchen, and Lei Wujie were deputy generals. They led hundreds of thousands of Langya troops and the Ye Camp. Together with Xiao Yu who had been staying at the border, and the younger generation in Jianghu, they defeated Nan Jue and forced him back to his capital.

The task of annexing Nanjue, which the former Langya King Xiao Ruofeng failed to accomplish, was completed by Ling Xi.

Beili and Nanjue were merged into one, and Beili's territory doubled.

After Ling Xi ascended the throne, he pacified the south and resolved the chaos caused by the war, revised the laws of the martial arts world, cultivated the people, exempted taxes, emphasized the law, and reformed the imperial examination system, promoting the development of talents, and stipulated that women could also take the imperial examination and serve as officials in the court.

Beili saw the first female prime minister since its founding, Ye Ruoyi, and the first female general with a regular military position, Sikong Qianluo.

Schools were also set up in the private sector where common people could attend, regardless of gender, and could study or learn a skill.

Beili's national strength is developing at a speed unimaginable to everyone. In just a few years, it has changed dramatically.

Xiao Se and Sikong Qianluo, Lei Wujie and Ye Ruoyi are all married and have children.

Ling Xi was urged to get married by Xiao Ruofeng, but she just ignored him.

She has no one she likes, so naturally she will not compromise for the succession to the throne.

Afterwards, she chose the daughter of Xiao Se and Sikong Qianluo from the next generation of the Xiao royal family to train. She was a very smart child, and was excellent in both scheming and martial arts. Ling Xi was very optimistic about her taking over her position.

Twenty years later, Ling Xi passed the throne to her.

Then Ling Xi and Zhao Yuzhen went to the extreme south to guard the four desperate places.

Baili Dongjun, Li Hanyi and others had already gone to guard that desperate place.

After breaking through to the Divine Wandering Profound Realm, one must defend against desperate situations.

Zhao Yuzhen had delayed for so many years just to wait for her and be with her. Now, the two of them have finally let go of everything and can go to the southernmost land to take over the border defense with ease.
