maritime.
Ten large ships formed a diamond formation and moved forward together.
Shandai visited the ship with great interest, while Yamazaki ordered a few handymen and invited them to talk alone on the deck.
I clicked them because there was something wrong with their appearance. They all had no beards or had fake beards.
Yes, they are all eunuchs just like Lu Tiezhang.
Several people were trembling because they were really afraid of the people in the mountains. They were not on the same level as them at all.
But in this sea, there is nowhere to escape, so we can only bite the bullet.
"Master, if you have any questions, please come to me."
"I never wanted to cause trouble for you, but now we are all in trouble. We are helpless and unable to live on the sea, so I can only find you."
"Master, we don't understand what you are saying."
"Then let me tell you straight, we have nowhere to go now. I want to stay on the island where Lu Tiezhang forges weapons."
"This, do we know this?"
"I'm not living in vain. King Dongping needs ships to transport weapons, and now under the sun, these ten large ships are available."
"Uh..." Several handymen looked at each other.
Yamazaki sighed, "When I killed Lu Tiezhang, I was an obedient citizen, but now I am an imperial prisoner. This is the saying of this moment and the other moment. If we work together, we will both benefit. Or do you want to die trapped on the sea? The taste of."
The leading handyman handed over his hand and changed his tone, "Now that Your Excellency has said so, we don't hide it anymore. We do know where the island is, but with so many people, it will be difficult to last long."
Yamazaki looked at the sky, "The world is about to be in chaos, hiding for thirty to fifty days is enough."
The leading handyman couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency, you really know how to read the stars."
Yamazaki smiled mysteriously: "When everyone in the world thinks that I can read the stars, if I say that I can't, someone must believe me."
"Will your Excellency do it?"
Yamazaki smiled without answering and showed the order written by the emperor.
"When we get to the island, I will give this to you, and you give this to King Dongping. King Dongping will definitely not blame you, but will only reward you."
"What's the use?"
"When you raise an army, you need to be justified. This is a letter written by the emperor himself, with the emperor's seal on it. Every line is vicious and unkind, so there is no room for the emperor to quibble about how benevolent he is."
"Oh." The handymen nodded, but they still seemed to understand.
Yamazaki looked at the sky. It seemed that he was indeed a different kind of person.
Although he cannot observe the sky, he can clearly see the general trend of the world.
It doesn't matter whether he, a common man in the world, dies or not, but the matter of the Long family has caused the emperor to lose the support of the people.
One side of the family is powerful and the other is wealthy. For the sake of the dynasty, they have smashed their jobs to show their loyalty.
The emperor is still tormenting others like this. Everyone in the world, who has a family and a career, would not be disappointed.
In addition, his instigation made the ambitious people unable to bear it, and jumped out to fight for the world under the guise of complying with God's will.
The Duanmu Dynasty may still have a future, but Emperor Duanmu Huan is indeed exhausted.
As for Shanjiabao, it should be able to retain some vitality despite the disaster.
But what happens in the end depends on luck.
…
The news spread quickly, with fast horses galloping through the night, ahead of the homing pigeons, and spreading from Jiaozhou with Yamazaki's rebellious words at a speed of two to three hundred miles per hour.
The memorial of Liang Wenmao, the prefectural official of the prefecture, had been sent to the capital via the Six Hundred Miles Express the day before, at a speed of one hundred miles in half an hour.
It took a full twelve hours, day and night, before it was sent to the capital and presented to the emperor.
Yamazaki watched the sunrise on the sea, and the emperor only saw the memorial after going to court.
The emperor frowned as he read what was said above.
I feel very dissatisfied with letting people from the mountains take over the archway.
I am worried about whether the Long family can handle it well.
After thinking about it, he wrote to the special envoy Ling Changfeng, telling him to appease the Long family and asking him to secretly keep an eye on the state official Liang Wenmao to see if he had anything to do with the archway.
As for the archway, the emperor thought that he had already caught them all.
The letter was sent by the palace's carrier pigeon.
A few hours later, as it was getting dark, a group of carrier pigeons outside brought back the latest news from Jiaozhou.
The secret agent commander who was sorting out the news was shocked when he saw the small print on it and hurriedly went to find the emperor.
It was already dark at this time, and the emperor was sleeping next to the imperial concubine. I don't know if he had slept at this time.
But no matter what, you have to get up and deal with government affairs.
If all the heroes really rise together and the world is in chaos, then the emperor's throne will really be in danger.
…
study.
The secret agent leader asked the emperor to come out because of the huge matter, took him back to the study, and then submitted the secret report.
The emperor was shocked when he saw it. He was so angry that he slapped his palm on the table, smashing the solid wood desk into pieces.
The internal energy was exhaled, shattering some books and memorials, knocking away the pen and inkstone, as well as paperweights and furnishings.
But the emperor didn't care about these. What he cared about was his country and his throne.
"Seize this mountain man alive, and I will cut him to death in front of everyone!"
The secret agent commander said, "Your Majesty, even if you kill him, you can't make him take back what he said."
"Especially these words, whether with or without him, will be passed down by people with intentions. When they are spread to the whole world, it will be a time of great chaos in the world."
The emperor ignored him and said, "Give me the order to immediately blockade the capital and prepare all armies for war."
The secret agent commander added, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to be so bold. It's New Year's Eve soon."
"The armies of all parties can only be vigilant. If they prepare for war, all parties will be nervous. If you are not careful, those who don't want to rebel will also rebel."
The emperor snorted coldly, "Who else doesn't want to rebel? Do you blame me if the government forces the people to rebel?"
The secret agent commander further said, "Your Majesty, think twice. I am afraid that the cruel officials in Jiaozhou have misunderstood your Majesty's meaning. As long as you properly appease the Long family, there will always be a buffer. Even if they rebel one by one, your Majesty can deal with them one by one. Now I am afraid that Afraid of rebelling together."
The emperor calmed down and said, "Okay, just as you said, loosen the outside and tighten the inside."
"Yes." The spy commander breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor picked up the paper and pen on the ground, "I will write three imperial edicts, and you will send some people to Jiaozhou."
"To appease the Long family and stabilize the people's hearts."
"The second person to deal with the bad guy is the state official Liang Wenmao."
"San Lai went to sea to hunt down Lu Tiezhang's accomplices. If I am not mistaken, they will definitely escape to the island where weapons are forged."
"We must catch the man in the mountain. I want him to come back alive and be tortured to see who has run out of energy!"
"yes."
The secret agent commander hesitated to say anything and postponed the execution of Liang Wenmao.
The emperor saw it and said, "You want to intercede for Liang Wenmao? No, there are many officials from Jiaozhou, and he is the best."
"Yes." The secret agent commander was still a little worried, fearing that a novice might do something bad if he came up.
But today we have made several suggestions, and if he objects to even this, His Majesty the Emperor will be so angry that he should vent his anger on him first.
Because the special envoy Ling Changfeng was the chief spy in Jiaozhou, a closer look could mean that there was a problem with his employment.
He doesn't want to take the blame!
