Chapter 690 Before Returning to Beijing
Yingning then explained the relationship between Lao Huang and Gu Changyuan.

When Lao Huang's caravan was in danger, it was Gu Changyuan who came to the rescue and saved thousands of lives of the caravan. Since then, Lao Huang has taken Xuan Wang's mansion as the head of the horse and the saddle.

At that time, Gu Changyuan was only 14 years old.

Li Yanxing was startled for a while after hearing this, and sighed: "His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is really a young hero. It's a pity."

Yingning knew that it was a pity that Gu Changyuan failed to get the crown prince.

Although Xiao Shiyi is closer to the Li family, Li Yanxing is a person who puts the country and the people first, and he always believes that the position of prince should be reserved for the worthy.

Regarding the fact that Gu Changyuan was dispatched to Minzhong County, he felt more distressed than anyone else.

Lao Huang expressed his admiration for Li Yanxing, and then offered the generous gift he had prepared. After receiving a compliment from Li Yanxing, he escorted Yingning away with satisfaction.

Back at King Xuan's mansion, Yingning went to see the elder brother and the third brother respectively, and told them about the situation at his father's place, reassuring them.

A few days later, after Li Yanxing's [-] soldiers recovered, he sent them to Linghai Town to clean up the battlefield so that the people of Linghai Town could go home earlier.

Li Yanxing came to King Xuan's Mansion to meet Gu Changyuan and discuss the transfer of military affairs.

After the handover, Li Yanxing completely let go of the burden, and has since become an idle prince with a reputation but no power.

The military power along the southeast coast, which had been controlled by Zhang Gaoqiu's family for ten years, had completely returned to the royal family.

Ying Ning knew that Gu Changyuan was still very busy.

He got the military power, and he has to clean up the local officials in Minzhong County, and make a complete change here.

Without Zhang Gaoqiu's protection, these local officials are just a bunch of loose sand.

It was easy for Gu Changyuan to clean up.

After the sea ban is lifted, the business exchanges between Daxuan and Fusang will increase dramatically, and a large amount of money will flow into the hands of King Xuan, and then return to the treasury.

Ying Ning couldn't help thinking in her heart, could the opening of the sea ban be the emperor's original intention?

He did not violate the will of the first emperor, he was forced.

Everything is for the country, for the people.

Looking at Zhang Gaoqiu who was dying and Li Yanxing whose back was stern, Ying Ning knew that the two of them combined could not count against the emperor who was far away in the capital but held the world in his hands.

……

Three days later, everyone packed their bags and prepared to leave for Beijing.

Except for Zhang Gaoqiu, who was half dead, and Tang Qing, who was still in a wheelchair, most of the injuries were healed.

Zhang Gaoqiu and Zhang Qiaoqiao's father and daughter were placed in a carriage. Zhang Qiaoqiao was very disgusted with the stench emanating from Zhang Gaoqiu's body and asked Yingning to change her to a carriage.

Ying Ning refused.

Zhang Qiaoqiao said angrily: "You just kill me! Don't you want revenge, why don't you kill me?"

Ying Ning thought for a while, and asked someone to put her and Wu Tian together.

Zhang Qiaoqiao was still dissatisfied: "Why did you let me sit with a Japanese pirate? I don't want to!"

"Then get out of the carriage and follow the carriage!"

Ying Ning got impatient and asked someone to put her into the carriage, so she didn't care anymore.

Before leaving, Yingning went to see Gu Changyuan.

Gu Changyuan was dealing with official business in the study, and there was a thick pile of documents presented by various counties in front of him.

"It's the end of the year, and there are a lot of things to do in each county." Gu Changyuan looked up at Yingning, "I can't send you off, everyone, take care."
