Chapter 296 Restart the Deep Blue Ocean
Si Zheng stopped when he walked to the fork in the road. At this intersection, Si Zheng rarely paused. But today, he was a little hesitant. Should he go to Kunning Palace or to Tianyu Palace?
The sky is the stem and the earth is Kun, and Kunning Palace is the palace of the queen. In the past, when encountering major events in the court, Si Zheng would give priority to going to Kunning Palace to exude the depression in his heart.
Although the current queen is not resourceful, she is the best-minded woman in Si Zheng's opinion and knows how to comfort people the most. No matter how frustrated or bad her mood, she will definitely be comforted when she arrives at Kunning Palace.
But now, he didn't want to go to Kunning Palace to receive comfort, because he couldn't swallow this in his heart.
Turn around and walk towards Tianyu Palace.
"I welcome the emperor--" Concubine Yu welcomed him out of the palace gate and squatted.
"Get up, my beloved concubine comes with me, you all retreat."
"yes!"
Entering Concubine Yu's bedroom, Si Zheng came to the table with a gloomy face. Concubine Yu held a tray and gently placed a porcelain man in front of Si Zheng.
"Your Majesty, the weather is so hot, drink a bowl of iced lotus seed soup to reduce the heat."
"I have no appetite! You know what happened in the court recently?"
"I don't know..." Concubine Yu shook her head calmly.
"You knew immediately when Xuantianwei appeared in Jiangbei Road last time. Why did you not know about such a big thing in the court this time?"
"If the incident happened in Jiangbei Road, I would still know it, but if it happened elsewhere, I would not know it." Concubine Yu said while lifting the porcelain man.
"Criminal Prince of Nanling, Chen Ling died in battle overseas..."
"Bang--"
Concubine Yu shook her hand, and the lid of the porcelain man fell off her hand and hit the table.
Concubine Yu raised her head in surprise and looked at Si Zheng with amazement. The expression on her face seemed to be really unaware of it.
"Chen Ling? Dead in battle? How could it be..."
"I'm also thinking about how it is possible? But the military headquarters' report will never be fake. Huang Yan and Shen Ling used the rune transmission to send a final memorial. In order to defend the dignity of the Dayu Shui Master, it would rather be broken than to be completely broken!
You should know that I treat Chen Ling as my own. He died in battle and my heart was as sad as a knife."
"Who was Chen Ling hurt?"
"Water! Kawamakura family."
"This..." Concubine Yu frowned, "If it were someone else, we could still put pressure on Japan to hand over the murderer. But the Kawamaku family is actually the Emperor of Japan, so this matter is unlikely to be good. How would the emperor want to settle this matter?"
"I don't want to settle this matter, I want to destroy the country. But today in the court, the military department came up with a combat plan and actually wanted to use the power of the navy of the whole country, which was huge. It's really a group of waste. I have always allowed them to accumulate energy, but they have not yet managed to accumulate energy, but they have raised them into a group of pigs."
After Si Zheng complained, he suddenly stopped talking and looked at Concubine Yu, "Why don't you speak anymore?"
"The emperor speaks, but I just listen to it."
"You have always been resourceful. Do you think of a way for me? How can I destroy the country at the lowest cost?"
"Emperor, the harem cannot interfere in politics..."
"You are not a person in the harem of cholera, I understand it in my heart. Even if the court misunderstood you, you and my husband are the same."
"I really don't know."
"You dare not say it?" Si Zheng suddenly stood up and stared at Concubine Yu's eyes with sharp eyes. "I understand, in fact, I have always understood that if you want to destroy Japan at the lowest cost, you only need to rebuild the Deep Blue Navy. Back then, the father-in-law fought against the Deep Blue Navy for 30,000 Deep Blue Navy, so he did not dare to step into the sea for decades.
If the Japanese Emperor had not apologized, married the princess and married the bride, and paid compensation, Japan would have become the Yingzhou of Dayu, back then."
"I..." Hearing this, Concubine Yu's eyes turned red. Over the years, Concubine Yu's heart was so painful that no one knew, and she had never told anyone. Everyone said that Zhang Wannian was so powerful that he was shocked by the emperor and relied on his military merits to despise the power of heaven. However, those contributions were saved by Zhang Wannian through life and death.
Zhang Wannian did not want to hand over the deep blue sea formation map because of his military merits, but Zhang Wannian really did not mean to threaten the court with this. He just wanted to leave a blessing for future generations, just a little selfishness.
As a daughter, she can understand her father's painstaking efforts, and as Si Zheng's wife, she cannot speak for her father and makes her husband's embarrassment. Now, her husband finally remembers her father's goodness back then, and Concubine Yu couldn't help but feel sad and shed tears.
"Your Majesty, the deep blue sea has been cut off, so don't mention it. For the prosperity of the family, my father only thought about his own family's foundation and forgot the needs of the country. This trend cannot rise. As the late emperor said, if this example begins, those who come back will take care of their small family and forget their country. Who will truly be loyal to the country?"
"When did you open it?" Si Zheng suddenly sneered, gently stretched out his hand and hugged Concubine Yu's shoulder, "The Deep Blue Navy is the sword in my hand. I put the sword in the arsenal without using it, but I accidentally made the Japanese slut think that I had no sword in my hand?
It's ridiculous! My sword, use it if you want to use it, and let it go. Japan laughed at me for having no sword, and I held my doorstep and harmed my people. I took out the sword, cut its head, and hung it at the sky nine feet. After cutting off the head of the Japanese emperor, my sword is still my sword. Whether I cross my waist, shake hands, or put it back in the arsenal, can he still become a spirit?
My beloved concubine, I ask you, can my sword be beneficial? Can my deep blue navy fight?"
"Emperor..." Concubine Yu suddenly hugged Si Zheng tightly, her cheeks pressed against Si Zheng's chest, "I have never forgotten the glory of the deep blue sea, my brother has never forgotten it, I believe that the soldiers who once had never forgotten it.
If the emperor needs it, I am willing to be the sword in the emperor's hand, and I am willing to personally activate the army and restart the deep blue sea."
"You?" Si Zheng looked at Concubine Yu hesitantly, and his heroic hair when he first met Concubine Yu could not help but appear in his mind.
"The emperor forgot that I am also a son and daughter of a general. When marching and fighting, I am not as weak as others."
"Hahaha... If you destroy a mere Japanese country, I need my concubine of the Dayu Dynasty to take the initiative in person? Then, I, the power of Dayu, should not be underestimated? Let the Marquis of Beikan go, and my beloved concubine polishes the ink for me!"
"I received the order--"
Lu Sheng quietly returned to the Tongnan Prefecture Secretariat. A group of ten people had a gloomy face. Although he did not deliberately hide his whereabouts, he also tried to act as low-key as possible.
During the Battle of the East China Sea, the Yangtze River Navy was wiped out. Although the court deliberately concealed it, it still knew only a few words in the official system.
Especially for a high-ranking official like Xing Yue who is barely considered a rank of officials, he naturally knew what the quarrel in the court in the past two days. It was as expected that Lu Sheng's return to Tongnan Prefecture was also.
But Xing Yue did not mean to meet Lu Sheng for information. He would better not know anything about this kind of thing. So Lu Sheng returned as if he had agreed, and no one speculated or discussed it.
Lu Sheng sat quietly in the study, and the paper in front of him was written with two options: Da Nei Palace and Japan.
Lu Sheng sorted out the evidence he had again and found that everything was understandable whether it was pointing to the Great Inner Palace or to Japan, but both had many contradictions.
If it was Japan, why did you abduct children from the Central Plains for training fifteen years ago? Lu Sheng didn't believe that Japan would not have enough thousands of children. But if it was the Great Inner Palace, why did you attack again when your tail was cut?
You know, the crime of killing Chen Ling and completely annihilated the Yangtze River Navy is even more important than creating a star patterned magic weapon to sell it to the enemy country.
This is a multiple-choice question that is difficult to choose. This is like Schrödinger's cat. Both possibilities exist at the same time before the answer is revealed.
But whether it is the Great Inner Palace or Japan, Beikan Hou plays an important role. Selling the Star Pattern God Soldier to the Alien is a treason, and handing over the Deep Blue Sea Formation to Japan is also a treason.
They are all treason, which one has the least risk? Lu Sheng gently lifted his pen and wrote the words "Transfer the deep blue sea to Japan" on paper.
"Sir!" At this time, Lu Jian came outside the door and knocked on the door.
"What's the matter?"
"A person came outside, saying that he was from the hometown of Qian Mansion and wanted to see the Lord! Another thing is that when the military headquarters came, they wanted to restrain the bodies of the soldiers of the coastal defense army..."
"Well, I got it, you let him go in the living room later, I'll go there now."
In the living room of the Tizheng Department, a thin man with a goatee beard about fifty years old sat quietly on the chair, picked up the teacup from time to time, and took a sip.
Although it was just an ordinary move, the old man had a unique natural charm when he did it. There was a sense of elegance all over his body.
Lu Sheng walked from the back hall, and the man put down the teacup and stood up slowly. He looked up and down at Lu Sheng, then bowed and bowed.
"Caomin Datong Qianfu, Qian Fu, pay a visit to Lord Lu."
"The old man is exempted from gifts. Are you from... Lord Qian's house?"
"Yes, Qiantang, the former Jiangbei Daoshi, was my second young master. The second young master unfortunately passed away a few months ago, and Caomin also came to clean up the second young master's relics.
When we returned to Datong Mansion and sorted out the relics of the Second Young Master, we found that the Second Young Master had a calligraphy and painting that was originally intended to be given to the adults. Now that the Second Young Master's funeral has been dealt with, the master sent a villain to send it specially.
The villain had originally gone to Jinling, but was told that the adults had come to Jiangbei Road and had been delayed for a while. Now he is returning it." As he said that, he picked up the brocade box beside him, held it with both hands and handed it to Lu Sheng.
"The calligraphy and paintings that Lord Qian gave me?" Lu Sheng was a little confused. According to his understanding, although Qiantang knew calligraphy and paintings, he was not very enthusiastic. He had never heard of him having the habit of giving calligraphy and paintings to others.
Lu Sheng took the scroll and unfolded it. This is a painting of a bamboo forest under the moon, leaving many narrations. On the narration, some words were also mentioned. The words were vigorous and powerful. Every stroke revealed a strong murderous aura.
But the content of the text says something ordinary. Lu Sheng solves cases one after another, and it is just around the corner. But don’t be too sharp and you must learn to hide your strength and keep a low profile. Between the lines, the predecessors’ warnings to the younger generations are revealed.
But in Lu Sheng's opinion, this painting is full of contradictions. Since Lu Sheng wanted to keep a low profile, he painted a bamboo forest under the moon? And every stroke was like swords and swords. This shows that Qiantang should have murderous aura when writing these words.
Bamboo is one of the four gentlemen, and is proud of the natural result, with a weak inside and straight outside, with a strong integrity and noble character. The moon is a metaphor in contemporary times, such as truth, light, and white jade. Therefore, there are words that can clear the clouds and see the bright moon.
Lu Sheng wanted to learn to keep a low profile and paint this painting again. This made Lu Sheng not quite understand what Qiantang was going to tell him for a while? Moreover, the text in the painting was a bit awkward. The parallelism was not neat, and some of the pattern was obviously far-fetched.
Such a level is like those old corrupt scholars who can barely reach scholars but no further possibility.
Qiantang's literary style, Lu Sheng, knew that he was not the top, but he was also considered to be the best.
