"I don't know what Master Xiao asked me?" Faced with Xiao Chen's question, Li Fengtian didn't panic, "To say that Mr. Xiao has different intentions, that's my personal experience as a judge, I'll let you know
Yanyun's navy merged with the Zhou Dynasty, but it was the intention of everyone in my military department."
"Sigh... It seems that the court has a deep misunderstanding of me, Xiao Chen." Xiao Chen sighed.
"Whether it is a misunderstanding or not, your Excellency naturally knows it well, but your various actions in Yanyun are actually unavoidable and cannot be misunderstood," Li Fengtian said.
"Master Li, how is Yan Yun?" Xiao Chen suddenly asked.
"Okay." Li Toyota sighed softly, and only one word of his answer was worth a thousand words.
"Where is the best place?" Xiao Chen asked again.
"The people are well," Li Fengtian said, "Master Xiao's ability to govern the place is unmatched by anyone in the Zhou Dynasty."
"Haha, Master Li, are you praising me or ridiculing me?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"I praise you." Li Toyota said.
"It's true that Mr. Li scolded me, and it's true that he praised me." Xiao Chen said, "I also have something true to say to Mr. Li. I conquered Northern Xinjiang, expelled the Rus, recovered Gao Juli, and defeated the Japanese. These are what you call
Is there any of the various actions that are not for the benefit of our great Zhou?"
"In the past few years, the emperor asked for war horses, and I gave tens of thousands of them. The prince asked for muskets, and I gave ten thousand. The court asked for food, and I gave hundreds of thousands of stones. The Ministry of Household Affairs was short of silver, and I gave tens of millions.
Two, looking at all the counties in Zhou Dynasty, including Jiangnan and Jiangdong counties, and Yanyun, who has contributed more?"
"These are all trivial matters. How many great contributions have I, Xiao Chen, made for the Great Zhou Dynasty? How many times have I almost lost my life, but what did I get in exchange? Suspicions, exclusion, attacks, false accusations, and even assassinations...
…Because everyone is sure that I am going to rebel, haha, I originally set my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!"
"Prince Li Feng sent me a letter that day. He asked me the same question as Mr. Li, and also said, 'How can I be a thief, a beautiful lady?' Haha, this is a good question, but I, Xiao Chenyi, am not
Beauty, in the second place, is not a thief. Beauty and thief are just what you say with your white teeth."
"I'm not a thief yet. Even if I am a thief, who forced me to do so? They say I am a thief, but I think they are the thieves! Zhu Tianfu of Tianxuanhui once wrote a poem:'
I have poems about all the officials, but their civil and military skills are generally average. You are officials but you are thieves, and I am thieves but you are officials!' I think the writing is quite good."
"My words today are all from the bottom of my heart. To your ears, Mr. Li, you will probably think that this is an excuse for me to rebel. However, Mr. Li, you have never experienced these experiences of mine. Some of them are just afraid.
I don’t know anything about it, so I can’t empathize with it. I also understand that I’m not trying to defend anything, I’m just complaining.”
"Master Xiao, I am going to lower my rank..." Li Toyota was shocked by Xiao Chen's words and didn't know how to answer the call for a moment?
"I'm not trying to convince you, Mr. Li, to sympathize with me, nor am I trying to instigate you, Mr. Li, to be used by me. To put it bluntly, you are not qualified even as a doctor in the Ministry of War, but I still want to ask you,
Mr. Li, do you think which is more important, the emperor’s country or the common people’s country?”
"The most important thing is the stability of the world!" Li Toyota said.
"That's good, but if I, Xiao Chen, resign and Yan Yun returns to Zhou, will the world be at peace from now on?" Xiao Chen said.
"Uh..." Li Toyota felt that this originally simple question suddenly became complicated.
"If I, Xiao Chen, leave Yanyun, not only will the world not be peaceful, but it will be in chaos! The tribes in the northern Xinjiang, the countries in the western regions, the Russians, and the Japanese will all pounce on me! Even Burma, Siam, Java, and Tianzhu will be moved by the wind.
..." Xiao Chen said.
"So what, I, Da Zhou, am not afraid of them!" Li Toyota said.
"It's not that Dazhou is afraid of them, but that they are afraid of Dazhou. My Lord Li, it is precisely because they are afraid that they will be invaded and annexed by Dazhou one day, so they will attack first. Why did King Moro lead 20,000 cavalry back then?
Sweeping Yanyun? Why did Wanyan Pingqiu form an alliance and march southward? In fact, both the invasion and the invasion were for self-protection."
"Master Xiao's words seem a bit profound, and even the lower officials can't quite understand them," Li Toyota said.
"Master Li, you are just pretending to be confused because you understand. It's okay if others don't understand. How can you, a doctor in the military department, not understand? It's just that everyone is pretending to be deaf and dumb. No one dares to speak clearly for fear of disobeying the emperor.
The holy will that dominates the world and is powerful all over the world, and yet someone is guilty of making irresponsible remarks on state affairs. In the final analysis, he is not responsible!" Xiao Chen said.
"Then we are still stupid. Mr. Xiao, do you want me to tell His Majesty what you said to me?" Li Toyota said.
"You are stupid enough." Xiao Chen sighed, "Do you think I said something to you on purpose so that it could reach the ears of the Emperor to show my innocence and excuse me? You are wrong, Mr. Li, the Emperor will not
If you listen to these words, I'm afraid you will be even more angry. He is headstrong and selfish, stubborn and confident..."
"Master Xiao!" Li Toyota was startled.
"Haha, I don't know what's going on today? I've said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said. Maybe it's because you, Mr. Li, are a gentleman, so I speak frankly to you and tell you what's in my heart. Mr. Li, look
Are you going to follow us to enjoy the breeze in Nanyang, or disembark at Haining Bay?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Let's disembark at Haining Bay... Mr. Xiao, won't you go back with me to see the emperor?" Li Toyota still wanted to insist.
"Just wish him a holy peace for me." Xiao Chen said, "It's not convenient for me to see him now, I'm afraid he doesn't really want to see me either."
Arriving in the Dazhou waters, under the intense surveillance of dozens of Dazhou navy warships, Xiao Zihao put down a small boat, sent Li Toyota over, and then directly rode the wind and waves, sailed south, and soon disappeared into the vast sea...
When Li Toyota came back, he went directly to see the emperor, but the emperor was discussing matters with the two princes and several ministers. After hearing what he saw and heard during his trip to Yanyun, he remained silent.
"Did Xiao Chen go to Nanyang for training?" After a long time, Li Feng asked in a deep voice.
"Replying to the prince, that's what he said. He also said that he would lead the fleet around the east of Japan and would never get close to our territorial waters in Dazhou, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings." Li Toyota said hurriedly.
"Just now, the Navy Fei Ge sent a letter, which also said that after the Yanyun Fleet left Haining Bay, it went all the way east." Li Shidao.
"Haha, is this a false alarm?" Wang Anbang said.
"Mr. Wang, why are you also shocked?" Chen Wenqi said with a half-smile, "I heard that you also sent Mrs. Ru and her son back to their hometown, but is this true?"
"That was my concubine's return to her hometown to visit relatives, and it has nothing to do with this matter." Wang Anbang was greatly embarrassed.
"The wind is roaring, and the trees and grass are all at war." Li Wanjiang looked very unhappy.
Xiao Chen just sent his fleet out for a stroll, and the entire Fengyang City was shaken! This shows how arrogant this kid has become now?
