Li Ye naturally didn't know what his uncle Liu Mingzhi was thinking.
Satisfied, he put away the four seals in his hand. As for the one in the hand of Zhongwu King Yunyang, there was no need to worry at all.
The four auxiliary ministers have already surrendered their power, and it will only be a matter of time before Yunyang is left alone.
Now that he, the Great Dragon Emperor, is truly worthy of his name, he doesn't have to look at the faces of the assistant ministers for everything. They all agree before he can continue.
"Xiao Dezi!"
"We are here."
"With the decree, after entering the palace and retiring from the court, I will be rewarded one thousand taels of silver to the king and the three old lovers, five hundred taels of silver each. This is to commend the four lovers for their loyalty to the king and the country, and the honor of sharing the king's worries."
"We obey the order."
Compared with the rights of the assistant ministers, Li Ye's reward is insignificant to the four of them.
The four people with different thoughts came out of the queue to say thank you, and then retreated again.
Li Ye stood up from the dragon chair, stopped on the dragon platform and looked at Liu Mingzhi with a faint smile.
"King Bingjian, there are three reasons why I urgently summon you back to the capital this time.
One is that the three-year period for the Assistant Minister has come. I want to take charge of the matter. This matter has been resolved and successfully concluded, all thanks to the strong support of the king.
It is not convenient to talk about it in the court now. After I retire from the court, I will hold a banquet in the royal study, and I will have a drink with my uncle in private."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will obey your instructions."
"This is the reward that the King of Side Ones deserves.
————
The second is the meaning of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother of the East Palace.
Cousin Liu Chengzhi, who is known as a dragon and a phoenix according to his uncle's legend, is already ten and three years old this year and has reached the age of marriage.
When my grandfather was still alive, he married his cousin Liu Chengzhi and his younger sister Jingyao.
Now both of them are of marriageable age.
As my mother wishes, Wang Ke has sent a matchmaker to propose marriage to my imperial sister Jingyao.
The three matchmakers and the six betrothals are all going to marry my aunt immediately according to the specifications of King Jingjian.
I wish my Li family and the Bingjian Palace to forever be friends with the Qin and Jin Dynasties.
May my cousin and the imperial sister be like winged birds in heaven, and may they be like twigs on earth."
"The old minister received the order to express his gratitude. The marriage will be dealt with by the clan immediately. The old minister will all agree."
"King Bingjian really understands the great righteousness.
The third one is about the letter sent back by Haining Hou An Jianghe, the envoy from Haining. I don’t know much about this matter, so I’ll let Song Aiqing, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, clear up the confusion for King Bingjian.”
"Old minister, I obey the order."
Liu Mingzhi retracted his gaze from Li Ye and looked at his uncle Song Yu with a frown.
There has been no news from Jiang He's patrol in the West for two years. Now there is finally some news, but Liu Mingzhi is full of anxiety.
Could it be that something unexpected happened to Jiang He?
The vast sea is full of dangers. Once encountering a violent storm, even if the Dalong Fleet's treasure ship fleet is large, it will still end in death or death.
Liu Mingzhi swallowed with his throat dry, and quietly looked at his uncle Song Yu who came out.
I was looking forward to hearing about Jiang He's current situation, but I was also afraid of hearing the news about Jiang He's misfortune.
Although Jiang He is not his biological brother, he is better than his biological brother. As the elder brother, Liu Mingzhi really cannot maintain a calm mind at this moment.
Song Yu saw his nephew's anxious expression and gave Young Master Liu a calm look. Liu Mingzhi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Great Dragon Patrol is sending Commander-in-Chief An Jianghe to see Your Majesty. Long live our Emperor."
"I, An Jianghe, have been ordered to make friends with all the countries in the West. Everything is going well and all countries are in harmony.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and misfortunes and fortunes may happen to people.
Not all the Western countries look up to the might of our Great Dragon, there are also those who have evil intentions and harbor evil intentions and intend to go against our Great Dragon’s journey of establishing friendship with all nations.
June 16, the first year of Dalong Yongping.
The minister led the fleet to sail back to Korea. After three days of sailing back to the city-state of Sibia, he was suddenly attacked by pirates at sea.
Our Dalong fleet lost 312 officers and men, and its ships lost 30-60%.
Seventeen ships of the traded goods were lost.
I led the officers and soldiers of the fleet, and after one hundred and seventy-two days, I finally found out the identity of the thieves who attacked our Dalong cruise fleet.
The origin of this thief is called the Empire’s Trade Ocean Fleet, where the sun never sets.
The evil deeds committed by the thieves against our Dragon Fleet are too numerous to describe and the crimes are heinous.
I was determined to avenge the soldiers of the 312-man fleet. Under the guidance of the friendly Western allies, I sailed to the inner sea of the Empire on which the sun never sets on the third day of February in the second year of Yongping.
He led all the officers and soldiers to launch a campaign of conquest against the Empire on which the sun never sets. The small Western barbarian country refused to accept the king's rule.
Your Majesty, I forgive you, but I, An Jianghe, went to war without being asked, secretly raised an army against a small barbarian country, and carried out divine punishment..."
As Song Yu continued to narrate, the worried look on Liu Mingzhi's face completely disappeared.
As long as the fleet is fine and the river is fine, that's fine.
Just based on his own memory, isn't the empire on which the sun never sets in Jiang He's letter the same so-and-so from later generations?
But Liu Mingzhi cannot guarantee whether this sun never sets or not in future generations.
After all, the era of Dalong is very different from the era that I know. It is not impossible that the names of the two countries are the same by coincidence.
Liu Mingzhi recalled the charts on An Gouer's Dabao ship and felt a little puzzled.
According to the route of the fleet, Jiang He should not sail to this place under any circumstances.
However, thinking that Jiang He did not elaborate on the place where the fleet was attacked, Liu Mingzhi became somewhat clear.
Maybe the place where the two fleets met was not the inland sea where the sun never sets.
Song Yu didn't know what Young Master Liu was thinking, so he still read the contents of the document silently.
As he went to the back, Liu Mingzhi's expression became more and more weird.
Feeling the officials staring at him, he rubbed his nose angrily.
It seems that all the officials have already known the contents of the memorial, and I am the last one to know.
When Song Yu finished reading the contents of the document, he glanced at Young Master Liu who looked embarrassed, and handed the document in his hand to Young Master Liu.
"Your Majesty, if you didn't hear clearly, please take a look at it yourself."
"Well...it's okay to take a look, take a look!"
Liu Mingzhi took the document handed over by Song Yu and looked through it absently, cursing An Jianghe in his heart.
Looking at the contents of the memorial, Young Master Liu coughed twice to hide his thoughts. The stubborn Jiang He was so stubborn that he even led the fleet of officers and soldiers to land and massacre the empire that dared to rob them.
It can't be said to be a massacre of the city.
At least the children under the age of thirteen are still alive.
But people over the age of thirteen, regardless of gender, that's it... huh huh.
Damn it, I told you again and again to clean your butt when you do it.
Now that the news has reached the court, it doesn't take a guess to know that An Jianghe made so much noise this time that even the accompanying recorder didn't dare to pretend to turn a blind eye.
All the officials stared at Young Master Liu's position, wanting to see how he would speak.
After all, Haining Hou An Jianghe's behavior in the West is completely different from Ruizhi's intention of building friendship with all nations.
Although I don’t know where this country where the sun never sets is, the massacre of the city has actually reached the imperial court, so I’m afraid it won’t end well.
Young Master Liu muttered for a while, then silently closed the document and thought for a while.
"Uh huh... It doesn't matter if you don't accept Wang Hua, he actually dared to loot my fleet that patrolled the Western Ocean, causing me to die in a foreign country with more than 300 dragons.
It is simply an unpardonable crime and a treasonous act.
What's more, it would be a disaster to keep a small barbarian country that despises my great dragon power and is so disobedient to kingship.
Let's just slaughter it... um... massacre the city? How can this be called massacre?
This king sees that Hou Haining is simply committing heavenly punishment to protect the face of our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty!
Colleagues, think about it, if you are so arrogant that you dare to claim to be an empire on which the sun never sets, isn't this a clear sign that you don't take our Great Dragon Celestial Empire seriously?
You even dare to plunder the fleets of our trading nations. How many evil deeds do you think they will commit against our weak friends?
Although Hou Haining killed one person, he saved thousands of friends.
What's the crime?
This king sees that this is obviously a great achievement, so he should be conferred a title!"
Some old ministers looked at Young Master Liu who was asking An Gouer for a title with a stern face, and looked at each other, their eyes becoming warm.
The old minister looked narrowly at Mr. Liu, who was standing there with a very evil heart.
It seems that King Bingjian, like himself and others, has not forgotten Ruizhong's original intention of going to the West.
Opening up new territories and expanding territory, his name will go down in history and his reputation will last through the ages.
The veterans who did not forget their original aspirations came out one after another because of the leadership of Young Master Liu.
"If you are a small barbarian country and refuses to submit to the king's rule, you should be punished."
"That's right, he should be punished by heaven."
"The small barbarian country has despised the power of my great dragon. It is an unforgivable crime and must be punished!"
"There are more than three hundred dragons, and if their descendants continue, there will be tens of thousands of them. They killed more than three hundred of me. This is obviously an attempt to kill me, the dragon.
Not killing is not enough to make the people angry.
What Mr. Wang said is absolutely correct, I would like to agree with you!"
A group of backward young officials were dumbfounded when they looked at the senior seniors standing in the palace and giving orders.
What...what's going on.
Isn't my dragon a country of friendship? When did all the seniors become old killers one by one?
Young Master Liu secretly glanced at a group of old foxes who had never forgotten their original intentions. He put the document in his hand directly into Song Yu's hand, and obediently retreated to his seat and sat down.
Damn it, the one who massacred the city was named An Jianghe.
Those who clamored for execution were a group of elders from three dynasties in the court.
What does it have to do with me working alongside Wang Liu Mingzhi?
Old Man Xia's history books record whatever he likes.
The leader of the voyage to the West.
The pioneer of the world, the Great Dragon King Liu Mingzhi has always been friendly to friends from all over the West.
Expanding the territory, killing people and setting fires are the intentions of their dragon courtiers.
I have a rough relationship with my peace-loving Liu Mingzhi.
