"Your Highness, we seized five million taels of silver from the Li family!"
At this time, another guard came to report.
After hearing this, Zhu Cijiong was not only overjoyed, but he also did not expect that the Li family would get an unexpected harvest. All of this money would be sent to the palace treasury.
At the same time, he also lamented in his heart that his brother's policy of strengthening the army was so powerful. It not only strengthened the centralization of power, but also made the court richer and richer.
The news that the entire Li family was executed quickly spread throughout the capital.
"What! The Li family is just gone!"
"That's the Li family. We are shipping experts. More than 70% of the supplies in our Ming Dynasty need the Li family's fleet to transport them. Is it because of this that they are targeted by the court?"
"Haha! It's too much! It's really too much! This dog prince Lin Fan acted so recklessly that he actually asked the third prince to search the Li family!"
"We are all nobles from aristocratic families, and we are all masters in various industries. If we are targeted and killed by the court because of our big business, how can we survive?"
"Everyone! If we don't stand up and resist, I'm afraid we will never have a chance to survive. Today is the Li family, and tomorrow it will be us!"
The heads of the major families sat together and held a meeting.
They decided to join forces and confront the imperial court. However, before they could implement the matter, another piece of news came out.
Upon seeing this news, all the major families were so frightened that they took a breath of air-conditioning. Those who had originally been clamoring to unite and oppose the imperial court no longer dared to leave their homes!
Moreover, they are all trying to find ways to get rid of the ships in their hands.
It was only because this message clearly stated that the Li family was executed for stealing warships from the navy, and there were still dozens of lost warships from the navy that had not been recovered.
Anyone who buys these warships for any reason must return the originals, otherwise, it will be the crime of confiscating their property and exterminating their clan!
The things belonging to the navy belong to the imperial court. It used to be a serious crime if someone stole them. But now it's fine. They thought they were fine, but they all got into big trouble.
"What to do! This damn Li family, didn't they say they had already established a relationship?
What kind of relationship is this?"
"Oh! I hate the Li family so much now. If you give me a chance, I will definitely kill them with my own hands!"
"One hundred thousand taels of snowflake silver. We haven't used it for a few days, so we need to return it in its original form. We even sold the artillery on it elsewhere!"
"Alas! What should we do now? If His Highness the Prince pursues the matter of the artillery, all of us will die. Moreover, this matter is our fault, and we have no place to reason!
…
People from major aristocratic families began to establish relationships with the government. However, officials from various ministries also knew the seriousness of the matter, so no one dared to speak for them.
"Master Zhang! Save our Wang family! If you don't say a few nice words to us, the prince's temper will probably kill us all!"
"Master Li, we all have the surname Li. Please save our Li family. We just bought a cargo ship. We really didn't know it was a battleship!"
"Master Zhao, our Wang family has been wronged! We didn't even know it was a battleship, we just thought it was an ordinary cargo ship!"
People from all the major families were trembling, fearing that the butcher's knife would fall on their heads.
However, Lin Fan has not made any next move, and has been staying at the port without going back.
"Thank you for your hospitality these days, Your Highness the Crown Prince. We are going back."
Queen Yili was wearing a white dress and said to Lin Fan with a shy look on her face.
Lin Fan looked at Queen Yili in front of him and was a little at a loss. This was not the outside, but the room where Queen Yili lived. Because the decoration was simple, there was only a bed and a few simple tables.
And Queen Yili has recently fallen in love with the Ming Dynasty clothes, and she wears very simple clothes. During this period, no underwear was available in the aristocratic families and countries.
Queen Yili is in an empire where the sun never sets, and she has no bellyband. She is wearing a white dress, and her arrogant figure is looming.
She looked so shy again. Lin Fan was very embarrassed and said: "Queen Yili, when you go back, I will send a hundred battleships back with you to ensure your safety."
Hearing what Lin Fan said, Queen Yili blushed even more. After spending this time together, she had a secret feeling for Lin Fan.
Now that they were about to leave, Queen Yili suddenly didn't want to go back. She looked at Lin Fan and said, "Your Highness, if I say I won't go back, will you marry me?"
this!
The women in the Empire where the sun never sets are really open-minded. They want to marry her when they ask for it. How long have they been together?
Lin Fan said awkwardly: "Haha! Queen Yili, our marriage in the Ming Dynasty has many details and requires the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker!"
"The two of us have only been together for so long, and there is no way we can even talk about getting married."
Hearing what Lin Fan said, Queen Yili's face instantly dimmed, and her eyes lost their luster. She said: "There are so many rules in your Ming Dynasty. In our empire where the sun never sets, as long as you want to be with someone
When people are together, they can be together.”
"Your Highness, why don't you marry me?
Love should not have rules or restrictions!"
Lin Fan was speechless. I admit that what you said is right. However, I really don’t have any feelings for you. How can I marry you?
Besides, I still have one at home. If I take you back, what will the civil and military officials in the court think of me?
Don’t you want your empire on which the sun never sets?
"Queen Yili, could you give up your career for the sake of love?"
Lin Fan said seriously.
"cause?"
Queen Yili said doubtfully.
"Yes, you are the Queen of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets. After receiving my invitation, you must have seen the power of battleships, so you came with the fleet, right?"
"If my guess is correct, your original purpose is to go back with a new type of warship to unify the land you are on, right?"
Lin Fan asked in a deep voice.
Queen Yili looked struggling, but finally nodded and said: "Yes, this was my original purpose, but I don't want to do it now!"
"Stupid! This idea of yours is simply stupid! The love between children is a trivial matter. Your country and your people are waiting for you!"
"With these warships of mine, your country and people can at best enjoy peace and stability. Are you going to put your country and people in dire straits just for the sake of quick gain?"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice, trying his best to let Queen Yili return with peace of mind.
