The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 432 The Young Singer's Journey 101

Xiao Yu's subsequent actions proceeded smoothly.

They successfully eliminated Nan Jue and returned to Tianqi City without incident.

The Northern Barbarians, who had been eager to take advantage of the war between the two countries, rode their horses to the border of the Northern Li Kingdom. However, after learning that the Southern Jue Kingdom had been destroyed by the Northern Li Kingdom, they left in a sorry state.

They even continued to flee north, fearing that Xiao Yu would lead his army to pursue them and wipe them out.

Given that the Northern Barbarians were so sensible, Xiao Yu didn't pay them much attention and decided to first fully digest the territory and resources of the Southern Clan before addressing the Northern Barbarians' problem when the time was right.

Xiao Yu's coronation ceremony was unprecedented and unparalleled, almost the grandest coronation ceremony ever witnessed in all these lifetimes.

Happy!

He's emperor again!

With his memories and experiences from his previous life, Xiao Yu has figured out the most suitable path for this world to move forward.

Therefore, after honoring Emperor Mingde as the Retired Emperor and Consort Xuan as the Empress Dowager, and after bestowing titles upon his meritorious officials, Xiao Yu did not hesitate to implement a series of sweeping reforms.

Thanks to his current high reputation, almost no one dares to object to his policies, which has made the implementation of various reform measures very smooth.

The whole country presents a thriving and bustling scene.

After Xiao Yu ascended the throne, Jin Xuan, Jin Xian, and Jin Yu were worried that they would be sent to the imperial mausoleum.

But how could Xiao Yu possibly waste such useful oxen and horses?

It would be such a waste to leave the countless rare and precious talents cultivated in the palace idle in the imperial mausoleum.

Instead, we should get people out there to work and maximize their value.

When Jin Xuan heard the news that he did not have to go to the imperial mausoleum, he was overjoyed.

He immediately worked even harder, fearing that Xiao Yu might change his mind.

He would even urge Jinxian and Jinyu to work harder together when he saw them being a little lax.

They also frequently brainwashed the two, emphasizing that His Majesty was kind-hearted and had given them a rare opportunity to work, which they should cherish, be grateful for, and work even harder to repay His Majesty's kindness.

Otherwise, they would have no choice but to guard the imperial tombs at a young age.

Jin Xian and Jin Yu watched Jin Xuan with his white hair, spouting nonsense about being young and able to work for decades to come, and were utterly speechless.

However, in order to escape their fate of being buried in the imperial mausoleum, the two had no choice but to be buried with Jin Xuan.

Xiao Chong was also very sensible in congratulating the new king on his ascension to the throne. After that, he attended court every day in a peaceful manner, diligently performed his duties, and never complained.

Xiao Jingxia's career as a spy ended with Xiao Yu's ascension to the throne.

Because he regretted not being able to see Xiao Yu ascend to heaven and slay the immortals, he took on a lot of work for himself and went to the palace three times a day, using the excuse of reporting progress to request an audience with Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu knew his character; he would only grant an audience once every ten requests. Eventually, he grew tired of the persistent requests and simply handed the man over to Xiao Chong to take care of.

Thus, a subtle pattern gradually formed: Xiao Yu would assign a lot of work, and Xiao Jingxia would accept it all, only to then turn around and dump the work on Xiao Chong.

Xiao Chong originally thought that he might be marginalized or excluded after the establishment of the new dynasty because he had competed with Xiao Yu for the throne. Unexpectedly, he became the busiest person, which was simply outrageous.

But circumstances forced him to continue working diligently, never daring to stop for a moment.

Wuxin, who was brought back to Tianqi City by Xiao Yu in a grand manner, instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.

No one expected that Xiao Yu would be so open about bringing Consort Xuan's other son back to Tianqi City, and even generously bestowing official titles and ranks upon him, and giving away the former Ye family mansion.

This is just...so exciting!

Everyone secretly turned their attention to the retired emperor.

Emperor Emeritus: ...

The retired emperor was so angry that his face turned ashen.

The retired emperor was furious.

The retired emperor flew into a rage.

The retired emperor was helpless.

In the end, the only option was to avoid seeing it altogether, so he took all the concubines from the palace to live in the temporary palace.

After feigning concern and trying to persuade them to stay a few times, Xiao Yu personally escorted the retired emperor and his entourage to the temporary palace.

For Xiao Yu, the fact that the Emperor Emeritus remained in the palace meant that he had to pay his respects to him every day to fulfill his filial duty.

Now that the retired emperor has gone to the temporary palace, he is naturally very happy.

The retired emperor went to the temporary palace, and the empress dowager naturally followed. However, before leaving, she met with Wuxin.

Unlike other mothers and children who are reunited after a long separation, the two did not burst into tears. On the contrary, they were both very calm.

Perhaps they have a lot to say, but they don't know where to begin.

Yi Wenjun missed all the important moments in Wuxin's life, and now it's too late to make up for it.

Wuxin also learned that Yi Wenjun had been framed and had not left voluntarily, and the resentment in her heart had long since disappeared.

The two sat facing each other in silence, then smiled at each other, everything understood without words.

Accompanying the retired emperor to the palace was Xiao Se, whose injuries had healed but who had lost all his martial arts skills.

At this time, Xiao Se's injuries had been healed by Mo Yi, but his martial arts skills had been neutralized and he needed to start cultivating again.

After learning that the Prince of Langya had been exonerated, Xiao Se and Xiao Lingchen returned to Tianqi City together. The two first paid their respects to Emperor Mingde, and then went to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to pay their respects to Xiao Ruofeng.

After the ceremony, Xiao Se felt a sense of loss and desolation.

For so many years, his heart has been set on exonerating Xiao Ruofeng. Now that his wish has been fulfilled, he suddenly feels lost and confused about the future.

The Emperor Emeritus's health had always been poor, and his condition had worsened day by day. Xiao Se stayed by his side, taking meticulous care of him, until the Emperor Emeritus passed away.

After careful consideration, Xiao Se decided to follow his heart and leave Tianqi City.

Xiao Ruofeng had a profound influence on him, planting a seed of longing for the martial world in his heart long ago.

However, the martial arts world is no longer what it used to be. After being purged by Xiao Yu, and suffering heavy losses on the battlefield, many sects have withered and many masters have fallen.

Coupled with Xiao Yu's various suppressions, the martial arts world has fallen into an unprecedented slump.

Then Xiao Yu took advantage of the situation and began to promote patriotic education from multiple perspectives, striving to get the martial arts world back to the path of "serving the country with utmost loyalty" from his previous life.

Several years passed in this busy way, and Beili underwent tremendous changes in all aspects, including military, agriculture, economy, science and technology, and education.

The national treasury gradually became full, and the country's strength was significantly enhanced.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Xiao Yu once again embarked on the journey of unification.

Xiao Yu's fame has spread far and wide, and the Northern Li army, under his leadership, is invincible.

Whenever a large army presses in, the enemy is often terrified and flees at the mere sight of them, daring not to engage them in direct combat.

As a result, the territory of Beili continued to expand, and the country's strength continued to increase.

This land was once again unified.

Xiao Yu: I'm happy!
