A quick journey through the stars

Royal Palace

The old emperor, who was now in his last moments of life, looked at his three young children with reluctance. Thinking of the ministers in the court who were ready to make moves, with ill intentions, and as ferocious as wolves and tigers, he warned them: "Yun'er, Xi'er, Ning'er, you must remember that besides your father, you three are the closest people to each other.

You are blood relatives, you are members of the Zhu family and must be of one mind. Only in this way can you save your lives and preserve the Zhu family's foundation after your father's death, and prevent outsiders from taking advantage of you."

Zhu Yun, who was only ten years old, cried: "Father, I remember this. I will definitely protect my two younger sisters and safeguard the Zhu family's kingdom."

Seven-year-old Lingxi and An Ning also choked up and echoed: "Father, we will listen to brother and do our best to help him."

Hearing this, the old emperor nodded in satisfaction. He took out three secret manuals, a secret guard token, a royal guard amulet, and an imperial edict to pass the throne to Zhu Yun from the secret compartment beside his bed. The old emperor said, "Those secret manuals are two martial arts manuals and one medicine and poison manual passed down by our ancestors. You must study them well. At least you can have more chips to save your life."

He paused, looked at his three children with loving reluctance and sighed: "It doesn't matter if we can't keep the country, but we must live on." After he finished speaking, he passed away.

With the concerted efforts of the brothers and sisters, they spent five years developing their power and consolidating themselves, successfully allowing Zhu Yun, who was not yet an adult, to take power.

Fengtian Hall

Emperor Zhu Yun looked at the civil and military officials below with a gloomy face: "Dongyue and Nanman are attacking the border. What do you think, my dear ministers?"

Prime Minister Wen Zhang: "Your Majesty, I believe we should make peace."

General Situ Qingyun: "Your Majesty, our current military strength is insufficient to send troops to both countries at the same time."

Minister of Revenue: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the national treasury cannot afford it."

Minister of War: "Your Majesty, it is inappropriate to send troops at this time."

Emperor Zhu Yun said: "When is the right time to send troops? Wait until Dongyue and Nanman reach the capital and the Fengtian Palace."

Ministers: "Your Majesty, please think twice"

Qianqing Palace

An Ning: "Brother, don't be angry. Anger is harmful to your health."

Lingxi: "Brother, let me go, I promise to return victorious"

Zhu Yun refused: "No, the battlefield is extremely dangerous."

An Ning: "Lingxi, we will find a way"

Lingxi looked at Zhu Yun firmly: "Brother, my martial arts skills may not be the best in the world, but it is hard to find an opponent. Self-protection is definitely not a problem. As for military tactics, I may not be the best in the world, but I am not worse than a general. Brother, let me go.

I am also a member of the Zhu family. I also have a responsibility to protect the Zhu family's kingdom. Moreover, I have worked hard for so many years to practice martial arts, learn horse riding and archery, read books, learn the six arts of a gentleman, train secret guards, and establish the Jinyiwei, the An Ge, and the Tianxia Diyi Lou. Isn't it all to help you, for our Zhu family's kingdom? Brother, let me go, I guarantee that we will win this battle."

He knelt down and saluted: "I ask to go to the battle, please grant me your blessing, Your Majesty."

Emperor Zhu Yun closed his eyes and said: "Okay"

Later, the emperor, despite the pressure, appointed Lingxi as the commander-in-chief of the army and ordered him to lead 500,000 troops to attack Dongyue and Nanman.

Lingxi divided his troops into two groups. He led an army of 200,000 to Dongyue first, and asked his deputy general to lead 300,000 to Nanman.

Lingxi rushed to Dongyue as quickly as possible and defeated Dongyue in three months. After that, she dealt with the subsequent matters and set out alone to Nanman as quickly as possible.

After destroying the Nanman Kingdom in six months, he rushed to Dongyue without stopping and spent a year to destroy the entire Dongyue Kingdom.

After Lingxi returned triumphantly, the emperor named her the Princess Zhenguo, allowing her to participate in government affairs and hold military power. An Ning was named the Princess Pingyang. Half a year later, the brother and sister worked together to clean up the court, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop. By the way, they wiped out the rebel organizations such as Lihentian and the White Lotus Sect without leaving any trace. A year and a half later, they successfully reduced the power of the Marquis of Qi and the King of Yunnan. At this point, Zhu Yun truly gained power.

Three years later

Imperial Palace, Palace of Heavenly Purity

An Ning looked at the emperor Zhu Yun who looked unhappy and said: "Brother, what happened? Who made you angry? I will go and get revenge."

Emperor Zhu Yun: "What do you think?"

Lingxi looked like she was enjoying the show: "Mother, I asked you to make Wen Meier the queen again."

An Ning was speechless: "Mother, she really is..."

Emperor Zhu Yun looked helpless: "Yes"
