See Song Taiping's thoughts.

Himekawa spoke again: "Money is money, how can it be worthless?"

"Since the issuance of the Great Wei Baoguan, the business development of the Wei Kingdom has reached a new level, business transactions have become more convenient, and the court has money to use. Just like now, collecting grain and building ships, recruiting laborers, and distributing salaries...is it smoother than before?"

"Everyone knows that the more money, the better. What's wrong with that?"

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true."

Song Taiping nodded.

How can money be worthless?

This is the simplest truth.

He had no doubts, it must be what His Majesty said.

Some people are dissatisfied with the ban on gold and silver.

Some people saw that the imperial court was collecting grains and hoarding them.

It’s time to check it out!

Song Taiping thought to himself that as the war was imminent, there must be no chaos in the country...

The monarch and his ministers talked.

At this moment, a eunuch came in to report.

"I report to Your Majesty that the Prince has returned to Beijing and is already waiting outside the palace, requesting an interview."

"Prince Lian is back?"

Listen to the report.

Ji Chuan looked surprised and said hurriedly: "Hurry, let him come to see me."

"Arrange a sedan to pick her up. There is still some distance from the palace gate."

Song Taiping was also happy.

"Prince Lian responded in person, so he must have achieved a great victory!"

"Ha ha!"

Himekawa couldn't sit still anymore and kept spinning in circles.

He was very excited.

The skeleton fleet repeatedly plundered Wei merchant ships, which seriously affected the development of commerce and made merchants afraid to go to sea. It was really too much...

Especially when I think of Emperor Yuanwu’s hateful face!

I'll make you refuse to admit it again!

After being depressed for so long, I can finally express my anger!

The wait didn't take long.

Prince Lien Ji Zhuoyuan came to Qinzheng Hall.

He didn't dare to stop all the way and returned to Wangjing as quickly as possible. It was really a journey...

"His Majesty!"

Ji Zhuoyuan knelt down directly.

Failure is failure. He is the leader and the commander of the navy, so he cannot escape the blame, so he must have the right attitude.

"Uncle, please get up."

Himekawa was slightly startled.

Seeing that Ji Zhuoyuan's hair was messy and his eyes were bloodshot, he couldn't help but feel troubled.

"The emperor is ninety-nine years old this year. He will soon be in his seventies, and he is still running around for the court. I feel ashamed!"

What he said was half true and half false.

It also means to win over!

No matter how the vassal was reduced, the imperial uncle could not move.

He controls the navy and has a high prestige.

The State of Wei cannot do without him.

Differentiation and co-optation were also methods he learned from Emperor Yuanwu.

Himekawa quickly helped him up.

"Your Majesty, I owe you the favor of the Emperor!"

Ji Zhuoyuan felt extremely guilty.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite to me, please tell me how you destroyed the skeleton fleet?"

Himekawa thought it was a routine courtesy and didn't care.

It was Song Taiping who sensed something was wrong.

How could he look so decadent if he won a great victory?

Could it be that he was eager to report his success and was tired from all the hard work along the way?

"Your Majesty, I failed to destroy the Skeleton Fleet. Instead... instead, the Mountain Moving Fleet was severely damaged by the enemy and the entire army was destroyed!"

Ji Zhuoyuan knelt down again.

"What?"

Himekawa was slightly startled.

"Uncle Emperor, are you kidding me?"

"How dare I deceive Your Majesty on this matter? What I said is true. Please punish me!"

Elder Ji Zhuo burst into tears.

"This is impossible!"

Ji Chuan's expression changed, and he also saw that what Ji Zhuo Yuan said was not a lie.

"Your Majesty, what is going on?"

Song Taiping was too busy to interrupt and ask.

"You personally commanded it and dispatched the Dengyun Fleet. How could it fail? How could the Skeleton Fleet have such strength?"

"I solemnly obeyed His Majesty's decree and used the Skeleton Fleet as the flag to replace our navy, and issued a threat. If the Skeleton Fleet did not fight, it would invade Daning Linhaibian Town. The Skeleton Fleet actually responded to the challenge and released its troops.

The location of the lair, I led the Dengyun fleet to go out to sea to clear it out..."

Ji Zhuo Yuanxiang started talking.

"However, this was originally the plan of the Daning Navy... I did not expect that the Daning Navy was hidden deep in the past. Its warships were equipped with thunder mines to attack the supporting mountain-moving fleet. They succeeded twice and moved the mountain.

The fleet was destroyed, and the Dengyun fleet was short of supplies and had no choice but to return..."

He explained everything clearly.

Himekawa was stunned for a moment.

"Thunder?"

Song Taiping frowned and said, "Is it the kind of weapon that is so powerful that it can crack mountains and crack rocks?"

They didn't know much about this weapon, but they weren't unfamiliar with it either.

Your Majesty went to Liang State to participate in the Qingyang League.

At the end of the day, Daning used such a weapon and demolished a mountain of rocks in front of their eyes.

Because it makes a loud roar, like thunder.

They called it Thunder.

The Skeleton Fleet has also used such weapons, but not frequently.

They guessed that although Daning had it, it wasn't endless, so they didn't care.

What's more, they have always looked down upon the Daning Navy and have never considered this issue.

This is not careless.

But lack of understanding!

"My lord, you are guilty!"

Ji Zhuoyuan lay prostrate on the ground.

This sound also brought Himekawa's thoughts back.

But his face no longer looked surprised, but gloomy.
