Dongming Ziyu felt awe-inspiring in his heart and said calmly: "I don't know, I have never seen Liya."

The fifth prince came out and knelt down and said: "Father, I don't know what happened. The reason why Liya fell into the sea was because the Miao fleet encountered Japanese pirates and the Japanese pirates sank the ship. In view of this, I

The male and female guards only met Liya a few times, and there were many people present at that time."

The fifth prince's grandfather, the Minister of Punishment, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the fifth prince is not ignorant of the general situation. Since the King of Miao Jiang met and became enemies with the Japanese pirates, it is not impossible that weapons and prisoners were captured."

Dongming Ziyu said: "It is not difficult to imitate. We don't have artillery and muskets in Dongming. Japanese pirates often plunder the coastal towns of Nanyun. With such a powerful weapon, there is no guarantee that someone will not be tempted to rob it and study it."

.”

Marquis Dingyuan came out of the queue and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the fifth prince heroically saved the beauty and formed a good relationship with the King of Miao Jiang. It is a good thing."

"Haha, that's right. King Miao Jiang will come to Dongming to celebrate his birthday on the Longevity Festival in two months. Maybe I can see what kind of person Naliya is, and I am lucky enough to be saved by my fifth prince." Emperor Dongming.

By borrowing the donkey from the slope, he just took the opportunity to beat Dongming Ziyu and the fifth prince.

This time he was accompanied by his people, but Dongming Ziyu and the fifth prince actually moved all his people away.

The courtyard where they stayed was also protected like an iron barrel, and Jin Yiwei's spies couldn't get close to it.

Emperor Dongming wanted them to know that the result of being so guarded against him was to bear his suspicion and wariness.

The fifth prince's eyes flashed slightly and he said with a smile: "Father, please stop teasing me. She is just a ten-year-old wild girl. I don't have that taste. Besides, now I want to form an expedition caravan. Listen to the prisoners of the Japanese pirates

It is said that there are many islands in the middle of the sea. Further east, there are other mainland countries whose residents are all blue-eyed, big-nosed, and yellow-haired. The Japanese pirates learned their muskets and artillery skills from those people."

Emperor Dongming said disapprovingly: "You kid, you are just serious about playing. Do you know how much money it takes to form a caravan? How much danger will you encounter on the sea? When you go to other continents, will they regard you as pirates?

aggressor?"

The fifth prince said: "Father, don't worry about the money. I want to raise funds from merchants from aristocratic families. If they want to follow, they will provide the money to build ships. I hope that my father will give you some elite soldiers. After all, the situation you mentioned will arise."

When we are here, we need someone to protect us. With the imperial court providing protection, after the trade road is opened, the commercial road will have a share of the imperial court, so it is natural to collect taxes."

Dongming Ziyu said: "Since the weapons of the Japanese pirates were learned from people with yellow hair and blue eyes, there may be more advanced technologies worthy of our exchange. We can't just sit here and wait for others to come to us.

I fell behind."

When Emperor Dongming heard that he didn't have to pay for it and there were still benefits to be gained, he immediately agreed and waved his hand and said: "Okay, let Lao Wu do the hard work!"

As long as his people follow him, he can control the overall situation.

The fifth prince smiled and said, "Thank you, father! I will definitely earn a lot of money for you, and maybe there will be a beauty with blue eyes and a high nose!"

The emperor laughed, pointed at the fifth prince, and spat: "Look at this bastard, he doesn't look like a prince at all, he's just a skinny monkey!"

Silver and beauty are his favorites!

This kid is really a roundworm in my belly!

The emperor was very happy, and the ministers all smiled and praised the fifth prince for his true temperament.

The emperor seemed to think it was reasonable, and named the fifth prince Jinwang, taking charge of all matters concerning the formation of the caravan going out to sea.

In addition, Dongming Ziyu's subordinates and the navy's generals and lieutenants were all promoted.

Rewards are also necessary, and Emperor Dongming does not need to pay for them himself. The gold, silver and jewels that Dongming Ziyu seized from the Japanese pirates are enough to make the emperor smile from ear to ear.

Emperor Dongming was quite generous in this regard, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people who would fight for him wholeheartedly.

In the morning, the atmosphere was rarely relaxed and happy.

The seventh prince went to pay his respects to Concubine Xian after the morning court. He said solemnly: "Concubine, the fifth emperor brother made his father very happy today! Father made the fifth emperor brother the King of Jin! He is the number one

A prince who was crowned king before he was sixteen!"

Concubine Xian turned away the palace attendants with her eyes, frowned and asked: "Why are you so uncontrollable! What's going on?"

The seventh prince said: "He imitates the Chu family and wants to make money for his father..."

He recounted what happened in the morning and finally said: "Father laughed heartily. Father has never laughed so happily."

Concubine Xian said disdainfully: "Huh! His grandfather came from a poor family and has no financial resources. How much money can he, a fourteen-year-old boy with yellow hair, earn? It's not something to be afraid of."

The seventh prince still felt that the emperor was too happy today, which made him uneasy, "But..."

Concubine Xian sneered: "Now that the crown prince's position is up in the air, it is a good thing that the fifth prince has been crowned king. It means that the prince in the emperor's heart is not him."

The seventh prince's expression relaxed slightly when he heard this, and then said: "The Holy Heart is unpredictable. I don't know whose name was on the edict when my father removed the poisonous insects."

Concubine Xian was not satisfied with the timid and cowardly temper of the seventh prince, and said: "If the prince is worried, let your grandfather create some obstacles and let him know that making money is not an easy task."

As the Chu family is an imperial merchant, there are many people in the shopping mall, so the fifth prince himself came to the door to look for abuse.

The seventh prince slowly exhaled, with a smile on his face.

Concubine Xian's face was gloomy, and she said majestically: "You are too timid, and you can't be calm about this matter. To get that position, you must have the composure to sit on the Diaoyutai despite the ups and downs..."

Concubine Xian was raising her son in the palace, and Shangguan Ruoli also received the news that the emperor agreed to establish a maritime caravan. She decided to pick a few people from Meihua Pavilion and Prince Xuan's Mansion to learn English.

When the time comes, you can learn more by following along and be able to communicate in language, which will reduce a lot of trouble.

Just do it and ask Rejoice to send a message back immediately to see who in the Plum Blossom Pavilion is willing to go to sea to see the world.

As soon as Rejoice left, Sassoon came in with bird's nest porridge and reported: "Princess, Nanny Su is kneeling at the door of Qinseju to apologize."

Only then did Shangguan Ruoli remember the incident that Su Shuangshuang made before leaving, and said calmly: "Ignore her, leave it to the prince to deal with it."

"I heard that these days, even if the prince and princess don't know where the house is, Aunt Su comes here and kneels for four hours every day." Sassoon handed the bird's nest bowl to Shangguan Ruoli, picked up the beauty hammer on the side and beat her legs.

, "I see that I have lost a lot of weight."

Shangguan Ruoli didn't comment, he leaned on the couch and drank the bird's nest porridge in mouthfuls.

The second-class maid at the door came in and reported: "Princess, Princess Jinyang is here with the young master and Doctor Bai."

Shangguan Ruoli was overjoyed and said, "Please come quickly!"

She had to learn about the Loyalty Gu. The disciples of the black-robed ancestor must be wiped out. If they were left alive, they would be a disaster.
