"That's because I've always been thinking about the Emperor in my heart!" Xiao Chen said confidently, "In fact, I had ordered someone to draw the holy statue of the Emperor a long time ago, and it was to be erected in the hall of Yanyun University for all the students. Kneel down and pay homage every day, so that if any of them is lucky enough to be named on the gold list in the future, they will not be rude and panicked when they see my emperor!"
"But later, Prince Fengyang led a large army to perform a show at the gate of Xiaocheng. The guard didn't know why, and in panic, he even invited the emperor's holy statue away... I wasn't there at the time. If I had been, I would definitely not have allowed them to act like this. ...I have demoted them all and punished them." Xiao Chen said they would be punished, but he did not mention punishing them for deceiving the emperor.
"Hahaha, you kid is still so sharp-tongued!" Li Wanjiang laughed when he heard this, knowing that you kid would definitely have something to say!
Because this was a knot between the two of them, he had to talk it out to resolve it, so as to avoid any awkwardness and estrangement between the two of them.
In other words, he really plans to make Xiao Chen a marquis?
"My heart for the emperor can be learned from heaven!" Xiao Chen said.
"Well, if you didn't come, I might not believe it. Now that you're here, how can I not believe it?" Li Wanjiang's words were quite sincere.
"Your Majesty, Yizhou..." Xiao Chen felt it was necessary to make things clear about Yizhou.
"Yizhou will be under your control from now on!" Li Wanjiang said without hesitation, "In the name of Marquis Yanyun, you will be the governor of Yanyun and Yizhou."
"The Emperor's grace is so great that I can't repay you with anything but being shattered into pieces and doing my best!" Xiao Chen looked like he was crying with gratitude.
I couldn’t afford to kneel down for a long time.
"Get up." The smile on Li Wanjiang's face gradually condensed, revealing a sad look.
It's not easy for Xiao Chen to ask the emperor what's wrong with you? Now, it is better for him to remain silent, because he still doesn't understand why Li Wanjiang's favor from the emperor is suddenly so profound?
As a result, he felt quite guilty towards Li Wanjiang...
Mainly because he misunderstood and he was sorry.
One misunderstanding was that he thought that even if Li Wanjiang didn't jail him or kill him, he would still put him under house arrest and deal with it later.
Unexpectedly, his attitude was so kind and affectionate, and he seemed to be a bit of a villain.
Another misunderstanding is that Danqiu was harmed by him. Now it seems that it has nothing to do with him, so he shouldn't have cursed him with so many vicious words on the way here...
"Look at this." Li Wanjiang took a letter from the Long Case and handed it to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen took it with both hands, opened it, and saw that it was all written in Ying Geli's Western language? He glanced ten lines at a time and frowned.
"This is a letter written by Duke Winters, Marshal of the British Empire, to me. If you can't understand it, here is the translation." Li Wanjiang said.
"Marshal Duke?" Xiao Chen understood, "Why do you think he sounds like a king?"
"Haha, that's a bad tone, but it's polite. At least he said hello to us before he came to attack us." Li Wanjiang sneered.
But it turns out that Duke Winters’ letter turned out to be a letter of challenge!
He said that he would lead the most powerful fleet in the world to attack Da Zhou in the near future, and asked the Emperor of Da Zhou to be prepared for the battle.
Of course, it was okay if the Emperor of Zhou did not want to fight with him, but he would need to accept several conditions he set.
First, Dazhou must provide 50 million taels of silver as compensation.
Second, the Great Zhou Dynasty must cede Yizhou and Leizhou to them, and also lease several port cities in Jiangdong County, Jiangnan County, Leichi County and surrounding areas to them to facilitate the stationing of their fleets and the passage of merchant ships.
Third, ask the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty to swear allegiance to their King Andrei I.
Fourth, all coastal cities in the Greater Zhou Dynasty must be opened to carry out bilateral trade.
fifth……
Are they going crazy?
If you bully someone when you come in, you have to climb over the pot, table and kang!
"Back then, they also sent a fleet and made many rude requests. However, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Zhu Chou, did not agree. He used all the strength of the Han navy to fight against them, although he suffered heavy losses. , but he also drove them all away... This hatred was forged at that time." Li Wanjiang said.
The British don't care whether China has changed dynasties or not. Anyway, whoever becomes the emperor will have to settle the account with him.
"In my opinion, this is not a grudge, it's clearly them who came to provoke me!" Xiao Chen suddenly understood why Li Wanjiang was so kind to him...
"Our navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty is weak, so others will come to bully us." Li Wanjiang said, "Even so, I cannot let them bully me. But I heard that their fleet is rampant across the sea and is invincible. Since this is an open challenge, I must also The preparations are extremely complete, so I am very worried."
"You humiliate your ministers to death, you worry about your ministers' shame!" Xiao Chen said loudly, "Your Majesty, I am a humble minister and I am willing to devote all my strength to fight to the death with the yellow-haired bandits!"
"What a magnificent statement!" Li Wanjiang was overjoyed, "With your beloved here, I have nothing to worry about!"
"It's the duty of a minister to share your worries with you!" Xiao Chen said in his heart what nonsense, don't you just want me to block your gun?
No wonder you are so nice to me!
It can be seen that in this world, there is never hatred without reason, nor love without reason...
"My dear, you are very tired this time. Let's take a good rest for a while. We, the monarchs and ministers, will make long-term plans. In addition, your appointment as a marquis must also be done in a grand manner..." Li Wanjiang was very satisfied with Xiao Chen's attitude, and his expression He became gentler and gentler, and his tone became more and more affectionate.
"Your Majesty, since there is another war about to start, I would like to ask you not to ennoble me as a marquis. When this war is over, it will not be too late for your Majesty to ennoble me!" Xiao Chen said.
"If you don't reward your merits, how can you inspire the morale of the army? You can also tell all the soldiers under your command that I will reward them one by one!" Li Wanjiang said.
"I obey the order." Xiao Chen no longer refused.
I know that the emperor asked him to quickly send an order to all the naval forces wandering outside Haining Bay to withdraw. In addition, your Yanyun Army is also extremely tense. I will not kill you, but I will seal you, but your subordinates are approaching me. Under the city, it would be outrageous to create huge pressure on me.
There is no sign of being a minister at all!
But whether he should say it or not, Xiao Chen's actions really relieved him of a huge burden!
When he heard that the Yanyun navy was suddenly approaching the territorial waters and that Yanyun's guards were all ready to move, he was really panicked.
Not to mention how to deal with the British fleet coming, even dealing with the Yanyun Army is very difficult!
He will have to face the embarrassing situation of being attacked from both sides.
We also have to consider whether the Japanese will alert the enemy, whether the Russians will take advantage of the situation, whether Myanmar will take advantage of the opportunity, and whether the countries in the Western Region will take advantage of the opportunity...
Then it is not a situation of being attacked on two sides, but being attacked on all sides.
However, the house leaked and it rained all night. The 30,000 White Dragon Guards who were originally planning to seize Yizhou were all wiped out in a storm!
This incident further deepened the conflict between the two sons, to the point of open tit-for-tat confrontation...
With internal and external troubles, is it really God who wants to destroy me, Li Wanjiang?
