Chapter 277 Becoming My Adopted Son
I heard that the brothers Yu Yu and Yu Shuo had actually repelled the army of the Canglang Kingdom.
This news really surprised Yu Anmin, the king of a country!
He didn't expect that he had two nephews whom he looked down upon.
Relying only on the little wealth left by Prince An, they successfully repelled the arrogant Canglang Kingdom!
"It seems that I have underestimated these two little guys!"
As he said this, Yu Anmin shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
At this time, Su Dingxia stood up at the right time and spoke to Yu Anmin.
"Your Majesty, the brothers Yu Yu and Yu Shuo are also here with the gift-giving team."
"The two brothers are waiting outside the palace now, you see..."
As soon as Su Dingxia finished speaking, Yu Anmin couldn't help but frowned.
Obviously, this news surprised him again.
But his nephew came in person to give you a gift.
As an uncle, what reason does he have to not meet him?
Thinking of this, Yu Anmin could only smile helplessly and shed tears.
Then, he said to Su Dingxia.
"Forget it, forget it, let them both come in and see me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will call them in right away."
Seeing Yu Anmin nodded in agreement, Su Dingxia bowed and saluted.
He turned around and walked slowly to the center of the hall , shouting hoarsely in his shrill voice.
"Your Majesty has ordered that the Crown Prince and the Second Prince of Xuan'an come to the audience!"
The brothers Yu Yu and Yu Shuo, who had been guarding outside the hall, heard Su Dingxia's shout.
They quickly stood up and walked into the hall with big and cautious steps.
When the two brothers came in front of Yu Anmin, they hurriedly bowed to the ground.
"Prince An's son Yu Yu pays respect to His Majesty!"
"Yu Shuo, the second son of Prince An, pays respect to Your Majesty."
The Yu Yu brothers kowtowed deeply to Yu Anmin respectfully.
Looking at his two nephews, whom he had never met before, kneeling in front of him, Yu Anmin nodded slowly.
"Okay, both of you get up!"
"I am very happy to see you. Tell me about the current situation in the Western Territory."
Yu Anmin said this with a faint smile.
When the two brothers heard Yu Anmin ask about the current situation in the Western Border, they immediately felt confident.
After the two looked at each other, the younger brother Yu Shuo blinked at Yu Yu.
After getting the support of his brother, Yu Yu felt more relaxed.
Yu Yu took a deep breath and then told Yu Anmin in detail the current development of the Western Territory.
After Yu Yu's narration, Yu Anmin learned the detailed recent situation in the Western Border.
Thanks to the efforts of Yu Yu and Yu Shuo, the situation in the western border has been greatly alleviated.
Especially during the drought that swept across the entire western region a year ago.
Yu Yu and Yu Shuo, who are members of the royal family, personally went to the hardest-hit areas.
He ate and lived with local officials and even helped to carry food himself.
Thanks to their efforts, the drought was quickly suppressed.
But this is actually nothing. The most serious thing is the famine caused by the drought!
At the beginning of this famine, countless people starved to death.
Because the bodies of the people who starved to death were not handled properly and in a timely manner, a plague broke out silently.
In the end, Yu Yu and Yu Shuo made up their minds.
All those infected with the plague and those who had come into contact with the sick.
They were all concentrated and isolated in a temporary city.
This approach successfully curbed the spread of the plague.
Of course, during this period, Yu Yu himself almost contracted the plague.
Hearing this, Yu Anmin couldn't help but worry about these two nephews he was not very familiar with.
"I really didn't expect that the Western Territory has been so eventful in the past two years."
"But fortunately, you two brothers are still here to guard the Western Territory for me."
As he spoke, Yu Anmin smiled at the brothers Yu Yu and Yu Shuo.
"You two have made great contributions to the Xia Kingdom!"
"Tell me, brothers, what are your wishes?"
"As long as it is a reasonable request, I will agree to it."
I don’t know if it’s because I feel an inexplicable closeness to these two nephews.
It was because of these two young people that he saw the future of Xia State.
Yu Anmin actually spoke bluntly to the two of them.
After hearing what Yu Anmin said, Yu Yu and Yu Shuo immediately knelt on the ground at the same time.
Then, he bowed to Yu Anmin who was sitting on the dragon throne.
"Your Majesty, we two brothers only ask for one thing."
"Your Majesty, please allow my brother Yu Shuo to inherit our father's throne in consideration of our brothers' merits!"
Hearing this, Yu Anmin's pupils suddenly shrank.
It has to be said that Yu Yu's request caught Yu Anmin off guard.
He originally thought that Yu Yu would ask him to inherit the throne of King An.
But he never expected that Yu Yu actually wanted his younger brother Yu Shuo to inherit the throne of King An.
After being shocked for a moment, Yu Anmin slowly came back to his senses.
Then he asked Yu Yu directly.
"I can promise you, but I want to know."
"Why can't you be the one who inherits King An's throne!?"
Not only Yu Anmin was confused, Yu Shuo at the side also looked at his brother with a puzzled expression.
However, there was still some anxiety in Yu Shuo's expression.
It was clear that he and Yu Yu had discussed it before they came, that Yu Yu would inherit the throne.
As his younger brother, he continued to assist Yu Yu.
But now, as Yu Yu suddenly changed his mind, everything became full of uncertainty.
Facing Yu Anmin's question, Yu Yu answered with a smile without hesitation.
"Uncle, my brother and I's father died early."
"After the past two years of leading the West, I feel that."
"Yu Shuo's talent far exceeds mine."
"Compared to my useless brother, Yu Shuo is more qualified for this position."
After saying that, Yu Yu knocked his head heavily on the ground and continued.
"My nephew begs my uncle to agree to my request!"
After listening to Yu Yu's explanation, Yu Anmin did not make a decision immediately.
Instead, he closed his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After a long time, just when Yu Yu couldn't wait to speak again.
Only then did Yu Anmin slowly open his eyes.
"In that case, Yu Shuo, let's start from today."
"You will inherit the throne of King An!"
Seeing that Yu Anmin agreed to his request, Yu Yu quickly stood up happily.
Yu Shuo on the side spoke to Yu Anmin with a complicated expression.
"Uncle, then...then how about my elder brother..."
"Don't worry about Yu Yu's affairs. I will make my own plans."
Before Yu Shuo could finish his words, Yu Anmin looked up and interrupted.
Then, under the shocked gaze of Yu Shuo and Su Dingxia, he asked Yu Yu.
"Yu Yu, I still don't have any children. Are you willing?"
"Become my adopted son and serve as the Crown Prince of Xia?"
