Chapter 599 The Queen of Nanyang

Princess Dening sat under the parasol at the bow of the boat, laying on a lounge chair, enjoying the sea view in the distance, and occasionally savoring the juice with ice cubes. This made her breathe a pleasant sigh. After more than a year of busyness in the deepwater port, she finally transformed the deepwater port and the operation of the port finally became normal. She made an appointment with her husband, Mr. Wang, and finally could go back to Guangzhou for a few days to rest. Then she decided when she would go back to the capital. Speaking of which, she really missed her son Shu'er too much. ∈↗,

"My wife really knows how to enjoy it. She is poor but she has to stay in the stuffy cabin to handle affairs. She doesn't know how much sweat shed." At this moment, Master Wang walked out of the cabin with sweat. When he saw his wife with a look of enjoyment, he couldn't help but complain. This was the top deck of the ship, and only the couple lived with the personal maids around him, so the couple spoke a little casually.

"Hehe, this is not a solution I came up with, but it was mentioned by the third brother by chance in his letter. I tried it as he said, and it turned out to be very comfortable. Everyone admired his third brother's talent, but I think his talent in enjoyment is really unmatched." Princess Dening smiled when she heard her husband's words. She and Zhao Yan have been constantly writing letters. This is not that the relationship between them is extremely good, but Shu'er is with Zhao Yan, so Princess Dening wants to understand her son's condition at any time.

"It turns out to be my third brother, no wonder." Wang Shiyi also learned about Zhao Yan's ability to enjoy it, and immediately showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, but then he suddenly sighed, "Madam, although I have nothing to say about other aspects, I am too good at calculating people. We could have returned to Beijing more than a year ago because he recommended us to take care of Jiaozhi. As a result, we were busy until now that we had time to go back to Guangzhou. I don't know when I want to return to Beijing."

When she heard her husband's complaint, Princess Dening smiled and said, "The third brother and father have no choice. They want to choose an envoy from the court. Unfortunately, the officials do not understand the situation in the south at all and know nothing about the sea. If they come to negotiate, they may at most let Jiaozhi pay some money. We just know this and are here in Guangzhou, so it is normal for the third brother and father to think about us. And from this matter, we can also see that the court values ​​the husband. Isn't the husband very happy too?"

"I... where do I have it?" Wang Shiyou immediately spoke up when he heard this, but his flashing eyes had already shown that he was lying. Speaking of Wang Shiyou, although he was not as passionate about fame and fortune as Wang Shiyou, as a man, he always had a dream of making achievements. In the past, because the status of the prince-consort was limited, he could not participate too much in the court. However, this time the court not only handed him over the important task of negotiations, but also asked him to supervise the construction of the Deepwater Port. It was extremely trustworthy, so he felt very happy over the past year. Especially when he saw the prosperous appearance of Deepwater Port, he felt even more accomplished. Even this time, he returned to Guangzhou, he also carried a lot of Deepwater Port government affairs with him, which shows his feelings for Deepwater Port.

Princess Dening was naturally very clear about her husband's thoughts. Now she couldn't help but feel funny when she saw him hesitating and not wanting to admit it. However, she did not make fun of him anymore, but said with a smile: "Since my husband feels the cabin is stuffy, it's better to move the official business to the deck and drink iced juice in the sea breeze, and you will feel much more comfortable."

"Yes, why didn't I expect it!" Wang Shiyue couldn't help but slam his head excitedly when he heard his wife's reminder, and immediately ordered the maid to bring out his things. At the same time, he was a little annoyed. If he had thought of this method, he wouldn't have to sweat heavily in the cabin before.

"Hey, madam, look at the information sent by the people of the Imperial City Department!" Not long after the King of Master Wang sat down to handle the matter, he suddenly picked up a thick piece of information and sent it to Princess Dening and said, "This is the information sent by the Imperial City Department lurking in Jiaozhi, which details some of the domestic trends in Jiaozhi.

Princess Dening took the information and then left the report with some disdain: "It seems that the lesson I taught Li Rizun last time was not enough, which made him still unscrupulous to us. He planned to take back the Deepwater Port day and night, and this time he colluded with Chameng. I am curious about how their two old enemies formed an alliance?"

The intelligence sent by the Imperial City Department introduced some recent activities in detail. The most important one was the secret alliance with Chameng. Speaking of which, shortly after the Song Dynasty defeated Jiaozhi and forced Jiaozhi to pay compensation, rumors that the Song Dynasty wanted to annex the entire Southeast Peninsula began to spread among the small countries on the Southeast Peninsula. Although this rumors could not stand the scrutiny at all, they were rumored by some people who were interested, and Jiaozhi played a great role in it.

As the rumors of the Song Dynasty annexing the Southeast Peninsula spread, the small countries on the Southeast Peninsula were also very panicked, and they were looking for ways to protect themselves. Some of the small countries began to show their affection to the Song Dynasty, and from time to time they would send envoys to the Song Dynasty to visit Zhao Shu, and to express their loyalty to the Song Dynasty. In addition, some small countries advocated alliances. As long as their strength was strong enough, the Song Dynasty would not dare to take action easily. Among them, Jiaozhi was also the main country that advocated alliances.

Originally, Jiaozhi launched wars against the surrounding countries at any time, offending almost all the surrounding countries. Therefore, no one responded to the alliance provided by Jiaozhi at the beginning. The Song Dynasty only regarded it as a joke and did not take it seriously. However, he did not expect that Chameng did not know what crazy this time, and it even formed an alliance with their nemesis. You must know that the capital of Chameng was looted by Jiaozhi a few years ago. Among the spoils taken away by Guo Kui's army from Shenglong Mansion, a considerable part of the wealth of Chameng was the original Chameng.

Wang Shiyou was familiar with the Bidening Gong in Cham. He couldn't help but smile when he heard his wife's words: "My wife doesn't know that Cham City has already begun to decline, especially when it was captured by Jiaozhi before, which greatly damaged the strength of the Cham City King. The powerful elders and officials from all over the country took this opportunity to stand up. The entire Cham City can be said to have fallen into a state of fragmentation. So I guess that this time it was only a certain force in Cham City. The people of the Imperial City Department did not understand the situation of Cham City, so they mistakenly thought that the entire Cham City would form an alliance with Jiaozhi."

"So that's it. I said that there has been a situation between Chameng and Jiaozhi for a long time. How could it be possible to reconcile easily? But I didn't expect that a thief in Chameng was formed an alliance with Jiaozhi. Speaking of which, Li Rizun was really falling. A dignified king of Jiaozhi actually wanted to form an alliance with a thief in the enemy country, and was not afraid of being laughed at by others." Princess Dening said suddenly at this time, and expressed her contempt for Li Rizun.

"Hehe, did I not say that there are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal benefits. This sentence is also true in the other way. Li Rizun has always been arrogant, but his country was almost destroyed by our Song Dynasty. He must be very unwilling to be willing to do so. So in order to save face, he can understand that he has formed an alliance with his original enemy." Wang Shiyou talked about the situation around Jiaozhi and was also talking freely, obviously full of confidence in his analysis.

"Hey, I didn't expect that my husband was so clear about the situation on the Southeast Peninsula. It seems that it was too aggrieved to let my husband be the prince consort." Princess Dening couldn't help but tease her when she saw her husband's confident look.

"Hehe, my wife will joke. All my abilities are trained by my wife. Speaking of which, as long as I do maritime business, who doesn't know the name of the Queen of South China?" Wang Shiyue said with a smile without showing any weakness when he heard this. The so-called Queen of South China is the nickname given to Princess Dening by sea merchants. She is in charge of the operation of the Song Dynasty's Marine Trade Bank, and can determine the life and death of countless merchants in one word. It can be said that she has great power. In addition, Princess Dening acts decisively and has a manly style, so she is called Queen by people who are good at doing things. And because the Marine Trade Bank mainly trades in the South China court, she has the name of Queen of South China.

"Hehe, if I am the Queen of Nanyang, then I will be the husband of the king. However, I heard that some tribes in Nanyang do have queens, and one queen wants to accept many husbands. I am still a princess of the Song Dynasty. My husband said how many husbands I want to accept to be worthy of my identity?" Princess Dening heard her husband use the title of queen to joke with her, but now she joked again.

"Okay, you dare to be a husband. I don't care about my family!" Wang Shi asked and rushed over to play with Princess Dening. Speaking of which, they were all about thirty people, but neither of them were dull people. Instead, they often quarreled and joked, so it is common for me to fight and fight, and the maids around were also common.

The fight between Princess Dening and her husband did not affect the sailing of the ship. It was just a good wind again, so the sailing speed was very fast. After a few days, they finally arrived in Guangzhou again. However, as soon as their ship entered the port of Guangzhou, they immediately heard the entire dock discussing a very shocking thing, and this matter was related to the Rakshasa Army.
