Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

"I like it, of course I like it," Li Chengming was naturally overjoyed that his younger sister was so amazing.

He glanced at the group of female guards following behind him and was surprised to find that these girls in front of him stood straight and exuded a fierce aura, directly overturning many people's previous stereotypes about women. Even when they were scattered on both sides, they followed a certain order, giving people the illusion of being in a line at first glance.

Seeing that he was paying attention to the female guards, Li Yinyin proudly said, "Big brother, aren't my girls great!"

Upon hearing Li Yinyin's voice, Li Chengming turned his attention back to his sister and exclaimed in amazement, "Yinyin, you're quite skilled at leading troops!"

“That’s true,” Li Yinyin agreed without hesitation, “but it’s also thanks to my girls’ hard work that we have achieved what we have today.”

As the two were having a good time, the officials behind them also started discussing it. Since most of them were praising it, someone, taking advantage of the number of people, said sourly, "It's just a showpiece, nothing more than a bluff."

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that everyone had stopped their discussion and were looking at him. He was immediately startled and retorted, "Am I wrong? Being a guard is not something a woman should do."

Li Yinyin's eyes turned cold: "Big brother, who is that?"

Li Chengming glanced at it: "He was a garrison commander during the Zhao Kingdom period. When our army besieged the city, he was the first to open the city gates and surrender, so he is here."

Li Yinyin raised an eyebrow. It seemed that her older brother didn't really care about this person. Well then, she would use him as a stepping stone for the girls.

"I've heard that this lord is also a general leading troops. Since you think my female guards are no good, do you dare to lead them in a contest?"

The official did not back down: "Your Highness has given the order, how can I disobey? But if the female guards lose, Your Highness must not cause trouble for me."

Li Yinyin scoffed, "Fine, then I'll deal with you after you lose."

The female guard was taken away and settled by the eunuchs around Li Chengming.

Li Yinyin stopped Li Chengming, whose face had turned cold because of the official's disrespect, and followed him and his sister-in-law into the palace: "Brother, if the female guards win, you must give them a prestigious title. I don't want them to just be guards in the future."

At this crucial time of conquering the world, the establishment of such an enviable team was, of course, intended to enable them to accomplish feats that no one had ever achieved before, and to leave their mark on history.

"What do you think of the Golden Crow?" Li Chengming asked, still holding his wife's hand in one hand and his sister's in the other. "Let them be named after the Golden Crow, so they can be divine birds that bring us good fortune and light."

“What a great name,” Li Yinyin said, pleased with it. “Then I’ll be waiting for my brother to officially bestow a name upon the female guard.”

It's impossible for Li Yinyin to lose; she has the confidence to say so.

Li Chengming then asked, "I've already thought of names for your female guards. Have you thought of the name of the country I asked you to come up with? Now everything is ready, and we're just waiting for you."

Li Yinyin paused in her tracks: "I thought you had already taken care of it, so I didn't need to think about it."

“Since your elder brother said you have to think for yourself, he will never use someone else’s,” Yu Qiaoyun said with a smile. “Did Yinyin get a good one?”

“The sun and moon are called Ming, and the heavens and earth are called Ming. How about we take Ming as the name of our country? It just so happens that my elder brother’s name is Chengming. It can be said that it was destined in the dark.”

“Then let’s call it Ming Dynasty,” Li Chengming said, then looked at Yu Qiaoyun. “We agreed on an era name. Can Zitong possibly get it?”

“Let us use ‘Qi Guang’ as our first reign title, ‘shining as bright as the sun and moon,’” Yu Qiaoyun said, looking at the magnificent palace ahead. “I hope that our Ming Dynasty will last forever.”

This is indeed a wonderful wish. Although it is unknown how far the Ming Dynasty will go or how many generations it will last, they are confident and willing to govern the Ming Dynasty well.

Upon reaching the new Xuan Shi Hall, Li Chengming turned and instructed the assembled officials to give them the chosen national and reign titles, then dismissed them.

This time, former officials of the Zhao Kingdom approached former officials of Li Chengming and began inquiring about Li Yinyin. They had initially thought she was just a princess favored by the monarch, someone to be treated with respect. But the fact that she held female guards and seemed to have given away the power to choose the title of the kingdom made it hard for them not to have doubts.

But no matter what they thought, Li Chengming's former officials only had one thing to say: just listen to His Highness.

The Zhao Kingdom was indeed vast, and even its imperial palace was built to be more luxurious and spacious.

In the past, Xuan Shi Hall stood in front, with Chang Le Hall and Wei Yang Hall side by side. Li Yinyin was still a neighbor of her brother and sister-in-law.

But now that we've arrived in a new territory, the area is much larger, and "Chang Le Wei Yang" has become the collective name for the palace complex.

Li Yinyin was a little unhappy that Chang Le Palace was so far away, but Li Chengming said, "If the place is too small, how can it accommodate all your female guards? Even if you have other ideas in the future, you will always need more guards. If it's like the old palace, there won't be enough room for them."

Yu Qiaoyun continued, "Besides, you're getting older, and you should learn to take charge of your own affairs. Yinyin, you've always been smart; surely you can manage the affairs of your own palace?"

Li Yinyin dared not agree to this, as she was thinking of helping her elder brother. If she couldn't even handle the affairs of Chang Le Palace, how could she be expected to help with matters of state?

So even though she didn't want to live too far away, Li Yinyin agreed, but added, "Then I'll come to Weiyang Palace often. Brother and sister-in-law, you mustn't chase me away."

“Who would chase you away?” Yu Qiaoyun’s expression was full of affection and joy.

Li Yinyin had hardly ever left her side since she was little, and now that she lived far away, how could she bear to part with her? But as her child grew up and developed her own ideas, Li Chengming also had higher expectations for her younger sister, so she could only let go and let her child grow up on her own, so that she could experience more trials and tribulations.

After discussing the important matters, the three of them started talking about the little things that had happened during this period.

Li Chengming and Yu Qiaoyun felt that their lives hadn't changed much; they were simply busy conquering the Zhao Kingdom, pacifying its people, and suppressing rebellions—all matters of state.

Besides, since the two of them were together, they were naturally more interested in Li Yinyin's daily life. Li Chengming was also very curious: "Yinyin, you look so different now compared to during the New Year."

“Of course it’s big,” Li Yinyin said. “Big brother, sister-in-law, you don’t know, I can now run five kilometers without getting out of breath, and I can even hunt rabbits on my own!”

"Although we can't compare to the girls in my female guards, and we can't achieve the skill of hitting a target from a hundred paces away, compared to before, it's like heaven and earth."

"From now on, when you go hunting, I won't just be a kid playing around and cheering you on anymore. I'll be able to compete with you and see who's better!"
