Chapter 145: Only Then Can He Be Called Emperor

s and relatives.……Liu's Family.Liu Liang came stumbling in from outside, his nose and face bruised, crying."Daddy... they bullied me!"Liu Youcai was taken aback."My child, who beat you like this"Who i...Yang Lin was chatting with Ma Ruoyun about the soy sauce and bean paste business, when Li Yujiao walked over slowly from afar.

At first, Kong Qiu and his disciples' attention was focused on Yang Lin. It wasn't until Li Yuyao arrived beside Yang Lin that they realized this beautiful young woman seemed familiar.

And in the next instant, their eyes widened in disbelief as they stared at Li Yuyao!

"Husband, dinner is ready."

Li Yuxiang came to Yang Lin's side and naturally took Yang Lin's arm.

"Oh, Mr. Kong General Chu Master Yu I didn't expect to see you all here! It's been ages. This must be Mr. Ma, the wealthiest man in Jiangnan, right"

Li Yuyao's face was cold, with a faint glimmer in her eyes.

Yang Lin was greatly surprised: "My wife, do you know them"

Before the shocked Kong Qiu and others could speak, Li Yuyao immediately said: "Yes, my husband, don't you recognize him This Mr. Kong is the only descendant of the sage in the world today, the leader of the four major schools—ritual, law, military, and Confucianism!"

And this General Chu, he was the renowned General Zhenwei who guarded the northern border. He was considered the greatest warrior in the world, leading an army of 300,000 to defend against foreign invaders from the north. For twenty-three years, he had served in the military and never interfered with court politics. He didn't even pledge his loyalty to the royal family; he only cared for the Great Yan kingdom and the safety of its people, protecting one side of the land and its inhabitants!

"This man was formerly the Minister of the Left in charge of Imperial Correspondence, that is to say, the Grand Minister of the present dynasty. There are countless officials throughout the empire who know him well. However, it is said that he recently resigned from office and retired to seclusion because of the Yan Wang rebellion."

As for Mr. Ma, he is the richest man in Jiangnan and also the richest man in Dagan. It is rumored that his family has ten million taels of silver! More than the national treasury. To say that he is rich enough to rival a country is not an exaggeration.

Yang Lin was dumbfounded.

He could see that the master and his disciples were no ordinary people, but he never expected them to be this influential!

The retired prime minister, the general of the northern border, the richest man in Dayan, and their teacher...

Just pick one out, and they'll all be big shots!

"But before Yang Lin could ask further, Li Yuyao continued, "Husband, I know Mr. Kong and his disciples. I never expected to end up here and have the chance to meet them again. I would like to chat with them privately. Would that be alright"

"Well... of course."

Yang Lin answered absentmindedly.

He already had a very daring guess in his mind!

Li Yuyao smiled and nodded, then pointed to a large tree not far away, towards the four astonished disciples of Kong Qiu, and said: "Please."

Yang Lin watched Li Yuyao and the four of them leave, his heart beating faster and faster! His eyes were fixed in that direction, and he also recalled scenes from the past...

This master and his four disciples came from such a prestigious background, but when they saw Li Yuyao just now, the look of astonishment on their faces didn't escape his notice.

The lady recognized them, and in their capacity, they also recognized her. This is very unusual!

Who are they

Prime Minister! General! Richest man! Great scholar!

There are probably very few people in the world who can both make them recognize and amaze them!

Yang Lin naturally still remembered what his wife had told him about the world situation.

She, a woman, actually understands the world's affairs and knows everything about the emperor in the palace, the young emperor, and even King Yong'an who is plotting rebellion far away in Suizhou. This is all too unnatural!

The guess in my heart grew clearer and clearer...

At this moment, under a large tree not far away, Li Yuyao sat on a large stone. Kong and his four disciples stood before her, Ziyi and Qingyi guarding in the distance.

"Your Majesty! It really is you!" Yu Zhong was the most excited of the four.

Although they were from the same school, his personality was completely opposite to that of his senior brother Chu Jie.

Chǔ Jié led his troops outside the capital, only caring about preventing foreign invaders from entering Dàgyān. He didn't care who became emperor.

And Yu Zhong was a man of stubborn character. Having decided who the ruler was, he would never change his mind! He remained loyal to the previous emperor, and after the emperor's death, he was one of the few officials who supported Li Yuyao.

However, after the Yan Wang's rebellion, even he was powerless against the prevailing trend. He was alone and unable to hold his ground. He didn't want to be associated with the rebellious prince, so he could only resign and go into seclusion.

At this moment, he unexpectedly encountered the Empress who should have died in this remote mountain village. He was naturally ecstatic!

At that, Yu Chung pretended to prostrate himself.

Li Yuxiang hurriedly helped her up.

"There is no need for such formalities, my lord. I am no longer the Emperor." Li Yuhua said calmly.

"No! In my heart, you are my Majesty!" Yu Zhong said excitedly.

Chu Jie, despite being shocked, maintained a cold and composed expression. He asked in a low and heavy voice, "Your Majesty, did you marry Yang Lin"

Yu Zhong and Ma Ruoyun both pricked up their ears when they heard the question, afraid of missing a single word.

"Well, after I escaped from the capital city and ended up here, it was he who saved me."

Li Yuchun readily admitted.

As for the details, she didn't say, and about that past, she wasn't willing to talk much.

Having just appeared before Yang Lin and acting so intimately, he had no intention of hiding it from them.

Although Zhong et al. had already guessed the answer, hearing it spoken by Li Y Yao still shocked them greatly.

As Ma Ruoyun's heart pounded faster, she became even more determined about the idea in her mind.

"Your Majesty, what are your plans for the future" Yu Zhong asked.

Li Yuyao smiled: "Are you talking about reclaiming the throne"

Their eyes lit up again.

"To be honest, reclaiming the throne was my obsession back then! I would either get it back or die trying!"

"And after coming here, I've seen and learned so much. You all already know Yang Lin, right Take a look at my husband, how is he"

Li Yuchun's face was expressionless as she looked at the few people.

"What a talent!"

Kong Qiu said without hesitation, "An old man who has traveled the world for many years has never met such a talented person. The invention of the waterwheel is a miraculous object that can be passed down through generations. The innovative papermaking technique is even more beneficial to the country and the people."

Chu Jie said, "Young Master Yang is also very knowledgeable in military affairs. For example, the guard unit in this village is managed no worse than ordinary soldiers. If they were to join the army, they could at least lead a thousand men and become a commander of a thousand!"

Yu Zhong nodded: "Young Master Yang, for the sake of the people, came to ask me for help and is willing to contribute to them. Such a selfless person, if he becomes an official, would be a good one."

"Ma Ruoyun laughed heartily and said, 'Yang Gongzi is also quite skilled in the business world. I admire him greatly. In time, my title as the richest man will soon be passed on to a more capable successor.'"

After hearing what the four people said, Li Yuyao was also taken aback. She knew Yang Lin was very talented, but she didn't expect their evaluation of him to be so high!

Since you all agree that Yang Lin is talented, then with such scholarly ability, could he be emperor

Li Yuxiang squinted, looking at the four people.ould surely become famous throughout history!Yang Lin smiled and nodded. "You can choose anyone you want. Take as many as you need, and if you have any special requirements, just let me know. Just kee...
