The Great Liang Dynasty!
Everyone's pupils contracted, and they couldn't hide their excitement; they had finally reached this point.
As long as the Great Liang Dynasty is established, they will all be founding heroes. It's like one person achieving enlightenment and all their relatives and friends benefiting from it.
Wang Ziwen's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "This place brings together Northern Liang and Xiliang, forging the strongest Great Liang Dynasty! The Crown Prince truly cherishes the past!"
To be honest, the name of the Great Liang Dynasty is not very good. The fact that the crown prince chose such a name shows that he has not forgotten his roots and the contributions of his elders!
The people of Northern Liang suddenly realized, and they all looked at their young master with excitement. Their young master hadn't forgotten them.
"Your Highness is merciful!"
Even Xu Zhong's heart pounded wildly, and he could hardly contain his excitement.
Having witnessed the power of Xiliang alongside Jia Xu, it would be perfectly normal for the Crown Prince to reject veteran officials like himself from Northern Liang. It seems the Crown Prince still cherishes old friendships.
Ha ha!
Lin Yi couldn't help but smile. Besides nostalgia, the biggest reason for choosing this name for the country was the existence of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
That was the armed force they started with, and now that they had conquered territory, it was naturally called the Great Liang.
His gaze fell upon the palace gates, which were now wide open. Clearly, the previous turmoil had subsided, and the royal family inside was likely not having an easy time either.
He looked at Wang Yue to the side and said in a deep voice, "Where is Hu Che'er? I put him in charge of the palace. What's the situation there now?"
He had previously let the Divine Machine Battalion in, precisely to take control of the palace as soon as possible. With the Divine Machine Battalion's strength, they should have been able to easily take over this empty palace.
"My lord, Hu Che'er is here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Che'er jogged out from the crowd.
Behind him was a large group of prisoners. They walked straight up to Lin Yi, bowed respectfully, and said, "My lord, the palace has been occupied by our Divine Machine Battalion, and everything is intact."
In addition, we captured the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince; the rest were all members of the imperial family. As for the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, they have already fled the capital!
The Second Prince and the Fourth Prince!
Lin Yi's gaze fell on the pair of prisoners, his eyes sharpening. These were remnants of the old era.
The second and fourth princes had already seen Lin Yi enter the city. Looking at the enemy's army, which was filled with murderous aura, the two princes felt their whole bodies tremble. Even their father, the emperor, had not been able to defeat Lin Yi, so the two brothers were even less capable.
Seeing the murderous glares around them, the two knew their only chance of survival lay with Lin Yi; otherwise, they would surely die.
Bang!
The second prince stepped forward without hesitation, then knelt before Lin Yi, pleading, "Brother-in-law, we're all family, you can't kill us!"
"Second Prince is right, we're both useless and will never stand in your way of becoming emperor." The Fourth Prince retorted, kneeling down as well.
Although they hated Lin Yi for destroying Great Ning, they also understood what it meant for the tide to turn. If they didn't know their place, they would probably be killed. How could those people let the former royal family go?
Seeing the two's actions, the other members of the royal family turned pale, their expressions filled with contempt.
One of the old men even cursed loudly, "Such good-for-nothings are actually princes? They've utterly disgraced the Li Imperial Clan! His Majesty should have killed you two pieces of trash back then!"
"Nonsense, why would anyone want to die when they can live!" The two princes glanced at the old man and couldn't help but say angrily.
They just want to live; losing face is not a problem for them.
"Oh, it's my two brothers-in-law!"
Seeing this scene, Lin Yi's gaze softened slightly as he looked at the two brothers. They were indeed two clowns, a disgrace to the royal family, but also the princes they needed most!
He looked at Wang Yue and smiled, " Wang Yue, how are my two brothers-in-law usually? Have they ever done anything wrong?"
"My lord, these two princes are utterly wicked. Not only did they forcibly abduct women from their own fiefdoms, but they also disregarded human life. Therefore, Li Anlan summoned them back to the capital. Both of them are notorious scoundrels," Wang Yue said with a wry smile.
At first, he thought Li Anlan's sons were all reliable, but these two princes shattered his worldview; they were the epitome of a tiger father and a dog son.
"A notorious scumbag?"
Lin Yi's face immediately turned ugly, and he said in a deep voice, "My father-in-law is a powerful and ruthless man, yet he has such incompetent sons. Send them to my father-in-law to atone for his sins, so as not to tarnish his reputation."
Holy crap!
Upon hearing this, the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince turned green with anger. It seemed that they had completely tarnished their father's reputation, and now they actually dared to say such a thing.
" Lin Yi, you can't do this. My elder brother is still in Jiangling Commandery, and he could attack at any time!" The Second Prince gritted his teeth as he saw Lin Yi trying to kill him.
"You dare threaten me?"
A hint of amusement flashed in Lin Yi's eyes as he sneered, "I'm not even afraid of your father, why would I be afraid of your brother? I was originally planning to let you die quietly, but since that's the case, I'll send someone to announce their crimes and hold a public trial for these two scum princes!"
Those ignorant fools have no sense of self-preservation and don't appreciate life at all.
"Your mom..."
The two men's expressions changed drastically. Just as they were about to start cursing, Hu Che'er smashed them to the ground with a hammer and then stuffed a cloth into their mouths.
What a fool! He dares to threaten our lord!
Why bother?
With a few screams, some of the criminals who had escaped from the royal family had been dealt with, and Lin Yi's gaze turned to the palace.
Now, the vast palace is no longer home to a single person from Great Ning; it is entirely under the control of Xiliang, Xiliang have completely seized control of Great Ning's political center.
This place now completely belongs to Lin Yi and the Great Liang Dynasty.
The group went straight to the main hall where court assemblies were usually held. Looking at the high throne, Lin Yi's gaze fell on his father.
He said in a deep voice, "Father, you should sit on the throne. Your son can wait a few more years!"
"Haha, this All Under Heaven was built by you. How could I, as your father, compete with my own son for the throne? That would be a laughingstock!" Lin Rusong glanced at his son and couldn't help but sigh.
He knew that his son had won most of the country's success, and if he were to step forward and claim credit, it would be somewhat unfair to his son. It was better not to cause any misunderstanding.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became strange, and everyone fell silent.
They couldn't interfere in the affairs of this father and son. Even Guo Jia didn't choose to speak up. He believed that the Prince of Northern Liang knew what was going on; it wasn't something he could just decide to do.
Lin Yi glanced at his elderly father and smiled, "Father, I am the Supreme Northern Emperor, and in fact, I am also an emperor. I'd like to let you be the emperor for a while, and then pass it on to me!"
The old man has protected me for so many years, so letting him be emperor for a couple of days wouldn't be a big problem.
One's own position is not something an emperor can control; it's merely a title.
"No!"
Lin Rusong shook his head decisively and said in a deep voice, "My son, whose courtesy name Muzhi, swept across the All Under Heaven, unified the north and south, and was a great emperor throughout the ages, as well as the founding emperor of the Great Liang Dynasty, with countless honors bestowed upon him!"
