"What's the difference between this and asking me to play Li as a dog for Bei'an!"

Li Zongheng's angry words seemed to be expected by Jin Shanyu.

He did not immediately admit his mistake out of fear, but was very firm in his opinion.

"Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, there is nothing wrong with being a good dog for Bei'an."

"What?!"

Li Zongheng was so angry that his eyes were on fire. He stood up and almost couldn't help but kicked Jin Shanyu into the pond.

He knew that Xia Li's national power was not as good as Bei'an's, or even that of the previous Great Zhou Dynasty.

But he is still the king of a country, and it is absolutely unacceptable for him to be treated like a dog to others.

"Jin Shanyu, you better tell me clearly!" Li Zongheng suppressed his anger and said, "Don't think that just because you are my confidant, you can do whatever you want. If you don't tell me why today, I will have someone beat you fifty

No board!"

Jin Shanyu said calmly: "Your Majesty, you know that I will never say anything against your will. Now in my opinion, the Bei'an Army is too powerful."

"I am very interested in the Bei'an Army, so I have been studying them. I have learned about its leader Su Yuan from various aspects."

"This Su Yuan was originally the son of a border general in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was stationed in only a small town with a population of tens of thousands. But with such a small town, he was able to advance from the barren land in the north to the east in just a few months.

In time, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty was captured and the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty was forced to move south."

As Jin Shanyu spoke eloquently, Li Zongheng gradually calmed down and listened to what he said.

"Subsequently, the Bei'an Army responded strongly to Dongbo's provocation. Later, when faced with the overseas Xifeng Kingdom, which had a powerful navy, they also fought hard and robbed dozens of ships at once! Until now, the Xifeng Kingdom has also

There is no way!”

"It's even worse now. The Bei'an Army suddenly landed in Towa and captured the capital city of Naikyo in less than a month. They overthrew all the shogunates, set up garrisons, and established new daimyo... It is said that he also killed a Ming from Towa.

A terrifying monster called 'Yama-no-Orochi'."

"All of these can prove the power of Su Yuan and the power of the Bei'an Army. There are rumors in the Great Zhou Dynasty that Su Yuan is a god descended from the earth and possesses magic. Some say it is magic, but no matter what it is,

It’s all very scary.”

When Jin Shanyu said this, he took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this Bei'an Army will definitely dominate the East China Sea in the future, and no one will be its opponent! It's better to be a dog for such a guy than to become a degenerate.

The dead are strong."

"Your Majesty, I am really thinking about you! Do you also want to end up like Nobu Hojo and Shingen Kamimiya?!"

Jin Shanyu's words were so shocking that Li Zongheng was stunned for several seconds after hearing it.

After a moment, Li Zongheng sighed with a complicated expression.

"Sigh... Shanyu, what you said... is not unreasonable."

Li Zongheng has backbone and dignity, but if he were asked to exchange it with his life, he would definitely not exchange it.

He is not a humble person, he is the King of Xia Li. Even though Xia Li is a small country, the king is still the king.

Even if he acts as a dog to Bei'an Su Yuan, he is only a dog to Su Yuan. But in Xia Li, he is still the king.

And if he doesn't take any action and allows the situation to develop, once Su Yuan sets his sights on Xia Li, then...

Li Zongheng felt chilled when he thought of the fate of Kamigiya Shingen and other powerful figures in Japan.

He never wanted to end up in that situation!

"Shanyu, you just said that we took the initiative to ask Su Yuan to send someone?"

Jin Shanyu felt relieved when he heard what Li Zongheng said.

He knew this was a sign of submission. If Li Zongheng refused to listen to his opinion because of his face, then there was nothing he could do.

Now it seems that Li Zongheng is still relatively "realistic".

"Yes." Jin Shanyu said, "Your Majesty, we have to show our sincerity in wanting to 'change'. Su Yuan is a person who cares about the people. If we show this side, we should be able to gain his favor... With his support,

Your Majesty, your throne will become more secure."

Li Zongheng nodded.

Indeed, if he has the support of the Bei'an Army, then his position can be said to be as secure as Mount Tai. Currently, there are still some undercurrents surging in Xia Li, and many people are making some small calculations.

If the Bei'an Army can be recruited as a backer, these villains will not have any chance.

"Since this is Shanyu's idea, I'll leave it to you."

"Yes, Your Majesty. In order to show my sincerity, I am willing to go to Bei'an capital in person and find a way to meet Su Yuan and explain the matter in detail."

"That's fine." Li Zongheng said, "Don't go empty-handed, bring more gifts. So, does Su Yuan like beautiful women?"

"I think he likes her. I heard that he has four beautiful maids who are always by his side and are inseparable from him."

"Then take some with you. When we meet, remember to say hello to me."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely bring the message to you."

"Oh, that's enough. Let's not mention this anymore. You can go fishing with me."

"I understand, Your Majesty." Jin Shanyu smiled and persuaded Li Zongheng to agree to this matter, which was the biggest gain of his trip. Now that his goal was achieved, he naturally had to comply with all Li Zongheng's requests, which made him feel relieved.

…

Jiangnan.

Prime Minister He Zhongping came to the imperial study with the memorial, but heard the young eunuch say that Zhou Cheng was not there.

"Not there? Where has the emperor gone?"

"this……"

The little eunuch was a little hesitant, as if he didn't know whether to say something or not.

He Zhongping's face darkened, and he asked: "How dare you not answer this Prime Minister's question? Say it!"

"Sir, please calm down! Calm down!" The young eunuch was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed, "It's not that I don't want to tell, it's that the emperor doesn't want to tell others about his whereabouts!"

"..."

He Zhongping thought to himself, where has the emperor gone? Why should he conceal his whereabouts?

He thought for a while and continued to ask: "You tell me it's okay. I am the prime minister and the most trusted minister of the emperor. And I have something urgent to report at the moment. If you insist on concealing it and delaying the important matter, the emperor will definitely chop off your head in the future!"

The little eunuch couldn't bear this coaxing and frightening, so he quickly spoke out.

"Lord He, the emperor...said he was going to Bichun...Bichunfang..."

The little eunuch finished speaking hesitantly, and He Zhongping was stunned after hearing this.

"Bichunfang? That cruise ship on the Yunlai River?"

"yes……"

"..."

He Zhongping was silent for a moment, then turned and left.

Along the way, he was silent and stunned.

How could he not know where Bichunfang is? In a romantic place like Jiangnan, the most indispensable thing is brothel hooks.

The Bichun Boat is the largest and most luxurious one among them. It is located on a huge pleasure boat and sails on the Yunlai River all year round.

Such an act would naturally cost a lot of money.

Therefore, those who can board the boat are, without exception, all high-ranking officials, nobles, and wealthy merchants. Ordinary well-off families cannot even afford a ticket to board the boat.

He Zhongping remembered that a few days after he fled to Yunzhou with the emperor, and before he had settled in, a wealthy local family invited them and their ministers from the north to visit Bichunfang.

Some ministers have long heard about the wonderful features of this boat and are happy to go there.

Some ministers are not very interested in this kind of thing, and He Zhongping is one of them. He is old, has more than enough ambition but not enough energy. He has several wives at home and has enough trouble, and he really has no energy to hunt for any game.

It's just because of the face of the local aristocratic families that he had to go. Otherwise, once he gets into trouble with these aristocratic families, even if he is the prime minister, it will be difficult to implement many policies here without the cooperation of the local aristocratic families.

After he went there that day, he felt the strong strength of the boat owner in the local area.

The entire boat was filled with handsome men and beauties, both talented and beautiful, drinking wine and dancing. It was like a fairyland on earth, making people forget to leave.

He heard that many children of wealthy businessmen lost their minds while playing on the boats. Not only did they use up their family's money, but they also lost their lives in the end.

There are many high-ranking officials who are also addicted to it. Just because these people are old customers, they will naturally keep this ship. For this reason, Bichunfang has been open for more than 20 years and has changed three large ships. It still firmly occupies the Yunlai River.

.

After going there once, He Zhongping stopped going. He was worried that if he went there a few more times, he would become addicted and unable to extricate himself.

But what he didn't expect now was that the emperor actually went there!

"Who took him there? It's so abominable!"

He Zhongping cursed in his heart, but did not dare to stop. After leaving the palace, he hurried to Yunlaijiang in a sedan chair.

After arriving, there were many small boats docked at a docking point on the river. When he walked over, someone immediately recognized them.

"Hey, Master He is this? What, you want to go on the boat?"
