A century-old family that runs through the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 34 Han Lin'er

Chuzhou and Yingtian are indeed not far apart, but it would be much slower to bring the complicated ceremonial guards and tens of thousands of military guards.It took Yan Ling more than half a month to finally arrive in Chuzhou City, the base camp where Zhu Yuanzhang started his business in the early years.

At this time, after several years of governance in Chuzhou, the people were living and working in peace and contentment, and the war situation of the past was no longer the same.

In the center of the city is the residence of Han Lin'er, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang is still very good to his nominal emperor.He built a vast and luxurious palace in Chuzhou City for him to live in, and paid tribute to him every year to have valuables and treasures for his enjoyment. It can be said that except for power, this little Ming King got everything.

At this time, Yan Ling was standing in front of this magnificent palace.

As an important minister of the Wu State regime, the guards did not dare to show any slightness and had already run in to report. At this time, they ran all the way to Yan Ling and said breathlessly:

"Your Majesty, please."

Yan Ling nodded slightly, and his soldiers automatically lined up on both sides, waiting at the entrance of the hall. He took off the sword from his waist and strode inside.

There is no need to be wary of anything. He has already communicated with the garrison of Chuzhou City, and now all the soldiers in the palace obey his orders.Even if Han Lin'er still has one or two loyal ministers, they can't pose any threat to him.

Han Lin'er was sitting in the magnificent hall. Of course, officials had never been summoned here before. Now it welcomed its first and final visitor.

Yan Ling knelt down and saluted without any hesitation: "Pingzhang, a minor official and a political official, Yan Ling, is here to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty."

"I love you." Han Lin'er is a middle-aged man in his early thirties.Although he is not young, his temper is extremely cowardly.Although he was the emperor, he had never personally held power. In his early years, Prime Minister Liu Futong controlled the government. When he later arrived in Chuzhou, government affairs had nothing to do with him.When Zhu Yuanzhang claimed to be the King of Wu, not only did he not even dare to fart, he also hurriedly issued an edict to rectify Zhu Yuanzhang's name, which shows the truth of his so-called emperor.

However, perhaps it was this weak personality that allowed him to survive in the troubled times of the late Yuan Dynasty.He did not dare to disobey Zhu Yuanzhang's request.

"Your Majesty, I have been ordered by the King of Wu to ask your Majesty to move to Yingtian to show his orthodoxy." Naturally, someone had already told him that Zhu Yuanzhang was going to take Han Lin'er to Yingtian, so Han Lin'er was not surprised.

"King Wu is interested. I have made preparations and am just waiting for your beloved to arrive."

"Then your Majesty, please set off. The carriage has been prepared. The rest of the things in the palace will be sent to Yingtian. Just follow me." Yan Ling stood up straight. Although his words sounded respectful, However, his expression was indifferent, and his tone was slightly commanding and stiff, without any respect for the Tian family.

Butcher, would you be polite to the lamb waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping board?
"Okay, it's up to you, it's up to you..." Faced with his subordinate's rudeness, Han Lin'er laughed along with him. He was an important minister of the Wu Kingdom and he did not dare to offend him.

"Slow down!" At this moment, a figure flashed out from beside Han Lin'er, and he said loudly: "Since Your Majesty is asked to move, and since the King of Wu personally came to invite you, and only sent his ministers to pick him up, wouldn't it be contempt for Your Majesty? Let King Wu personally come to greet you!"

Yan Ling immediately retorted:

"Now that Jiangnan has been settled, there are still thieves doing evil in central Fujian and Guangdong. Your Highness is busy with everything and has dedicated his whole life to restoring the country of the Song Dynasty. Naturally, he cannot come in person. If the war opportunity is delayed because of this, can you be responsible?"

The man opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say to refute him. Yan Ling's words were pretentious. If Han Lin'er insisted on the other party to pick him up, it would look like he was stupid.

"Who are you?" At this time, Yan Ling also saw the man's face clearly and asked involuntarily.Han Lin'er was basically ignored in King Wu's regime. After all, even the guards in his palace were soldiers of Wu. He was an "emperor" with no power, so naturally he would not attract attention.

"Guard General, Wang He!" Wang He replied, puffing out his chest.He was a veteran of the Han-Song regime. He had been a guard general for a long time and was loyal to Han Lin'er.He smelled something wrong in this order. Thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang's self-proclaimed King of Wu, the answer was already obvious.However, after knowing the other party's identity, Yan Ling never talked to him again, or even looked at him.

He's just a guard general, what can he change?

"Your Majesty, please get in the car. The journey is long, so we'd better set off as soon as possible." He actually ignored Na Wanghe!
"Your Majesty, you can't." Wang He knelt down to stop him, but he couldn't make his words clear, so he could only kowtow "bang bang" in the hope of stopping him.

Han Lin'er was a little confused for a moment. On one side were his old subordinates, and on the other side were important ministers under King Wu. He didn't know who to listen to.

But he forgot that he was never the master of this matter, and Yan Ling didn't want to wait any longer. He slowly raised his head and stared directly at Han Lin'er.

Han Lin'er felt the chill in Yan Ling's eyes.

Outside the hall, the soldiers of the Wu Army turned around. The weapons in their hands reflected the sunlight, which looked particularly dazzling. However, in Han Lin'er's eyes, it was a flash of death.

"Let's go, listen to Aiqing!" He forced out a smile and made a decision immediately.

Wang He was helpless. Since the Lord had agreed, the only thing he could do was to go with him, hoping to protect him.

Unexpectedly, even when they passed through some deep forest fields, Wu Jun protected Han Liner extremely well without any danger. This made Wang He a little confused.

Could it be that I was really worrying too much?
After wandering for a few days, I arrived at Guazhou.

From Chuzhou to Yingtian, one must pass through the Yangtze River, so crossing the river from Guazhou is normal. They have no doubts. Even seeing the luxuriously decorated boats, Wang He's tense nerves relaxed a little, and Han Lin'er even more so. With a smile on my face, I can finally rest peacefully after a long journey.

What they didn't know was that underneath this luxurious ship, there was already a group of soldiers standing by with picks and axes in hand.

They are all Yan Ling's cronies, the most trusted clan soldiers.

This matter cannot be spread, otherwise it will be very bad for Zhu Yuanzhang's reputation.

Therefore, those who do things must be strict-speaking and closely related to Yan Ling's interests.

When the ship reached the center of the river, they took action!
As the iron tools were hammered into the hull of the ship, the river water continued to pour in from the gap.And they continued to expand the hole until the river surged into the cabin!Although the ship was huge, it stagnated visibly, and then slowly began to sink.

On the ship, Yan Ling received a signal from his own soldiers.

He turned around and was about to leave, but at this moment, Han Lin'er stopped him:

"My dear, where are you going?"

　Wang He is my original character. There is no such person in history. I would like to clarify here.
