Volume 2: Rise to Fame in Troubled Times Chapter 31: A Potential Crisis in the South!
At the time, Nanyang City in the south of the Xia Kingdom!
"What did His Royal Highness King Ning call the Governor of Pontus to do?"
A soldier brought a message to Zhou Yu, saying that Li Cheng, the king of Ning, had an urgent matter to discuss with him, Zhou Yu thought about it, and still came over, and when he arrived at the hall of the city lord's mansion in Nanyang City, he asked Li Cheng straight to the point.
A murderous intent flashed in King Ning's eyes, but when he turned around, he was smiling, and said softly: "Governor Zhou, you and I have been cooperating in the southern realm for some years!" ”
"His Royal Highness King Ning, please say it directly, I'll go back first if it's okay!"
Zhou Yu didn't want to have anything to do with Li Cheng, King Ning, Zhou Yu was arrogant, and he had long been loyal to his cousin, Xia Guo was the imperial princess, so he naturally didn't want to hook up with this Li Cheng.
"That's right, this king thinks to himself, although the navy of my Great Xia Kingdom is very strong under the leadership of Zhou Dudu, but after all, it is a navy, and I don't go to the sea for training for a long time, isn't it...... Huh"
King Ning looked at Zhou Yu with a smile, but King Ning was a person who hid a knife in his smile!
Zhou Yu, don't blame this king for being ruthless, if you are not loyal to this king, your 150,000 navy will become a stumbling stone for this king, and this king can only throw this "big stone" away!
Zhou Yu's face froze, he thought for a while, and said in a condensed voice: "Oh? What does His Royal Highness King Naning mean ......? ”
"I see that tomorrow the sky will be sunny and windless, so when will it be better not to train the navy at this time?"
King Ning hurriedly continued to suggest, looking at Zhou Yu's hesitant appearance, he knew that this matter was definitely a drama!
"His Royal Highness King Ning's kindness, the governor of Bendu understands it, but after all, the sea is a foreign place, and we go to sea without authorization, which is easy to create misunderstandings!"
Zhou Yu actually wanted to go to sea, but reason told him not to go, to avoid conflicts with other races, causing conflicts between the two countries!
"Damn it!"
A trace of resentment flashed in King Ning's eyes, and he looked at Zhou Yu and said with a smile: "That's the same, that's a pity!" ”
"If it's okay, the governor of Pontus will retire first!"
Zhou Yu didn't even look at King Ning, and turned around and walked out directly.
"Smack!"
After Zhou Yu left, King Ning directly smashed the teacup on the table to the ground!
"No, I must find a way to let Zhou Yu go to sea!"
King Ning thought calmly, and suddenly remembered someone, and hurriedly snorted, bowing slightly: "Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu, I can't let you go to sea, but someone can!" I still don't believe it, hahahaha"
……
Early the next morning, the Imperial Capital of the Xia Kingdom Crown Taiji Hall was in the morning!
"The emperor has arrived!"
Cao Zhengchun, who was behind Emperor Xia, followed Emperor Xia closely, and hurriedly shouted when he saw that Emperor Xia was about to appear in the main hall, and then followed Emperor Xia towards the throne.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down one after another and saluted to Emperor Xia on the throne.
"All the ministers are flat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Emperor Xia's majestic words, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty replied respectfully and stood up.
"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!"
After the daily salute, Cao Zhengchun also shouted his daily lines!
"Enlighten the father, the son has something to do!"
Li Siqi himself stood in the first place among the generals, and at this time he stepped forward a few steps, and said with a slight fist.
"What's the matter with the Queen?"
Looking at Li Siqi in a golden python robe and long skirt, Emperor Xia couldn't help but nod and asked softly.
"Father! Erchen believes that the New Year is approaching, my summer is currently smooth, the country and the people are safe, and this is the time to recruit troops and prepare for the national scientific expedition after the year! ”
Li Siqi bowed slightly, thought about the big things to do in the future, and suggested to Emperor Xia.
"Well, yes, I heard you've been making a lot of money lately!"
Emperor Xia looked at Li Siqi with a smile, and said continuously: "Then it's still the old rule, I don't care how many troops you want to recruit, but this fund is still your own, after all, the treasury is not rich!" ”
Li Siqi pursed his lips and scolded in his heart, but he still said: "That's fine, then the recruitment matter will be handed over to Erchen to deal with personally!" ”
Emperor Xia still said with a smile: "Well, as for the national scientific examination after the year, the system is still being improved, and Sima Quan has been personally responsible!" ”
For his daughter, Emperor Xia is still very relieved!
"Your Highness, please rest assured!"
Sima Quan, who was in the front row of civil officials, walked out, bowed respectfully to Li Siqi, and said repeatedly: "The old minister is grateful to Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager for the children of the poor families in the world!" This scientific expedition will become the only hope for my poor children! ”
Sima Quan was originally from a poor family, and after becoming the right prime minister, he was still incorruptible, otherwise with his prestige in the court, there would be many people who wanted to slap him and give him gifts! This is also one of the reasons why Emperor Xia trusts Sima Quan very much!
"The right prime minister is polite!"
Li Siqi looked at Sima Quan, bowed slightly, and said, "This is also a matter of this palace!" ”
"That's right, Li Guang!"
Emperor Xia remembered Li Guang's establishment of a monument, and suddenly looked at Li Guang in the first three rows of generals, and said in a condensed voice: "Li Aiqing, how is the matter with the monument?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty!"
When Li Guang heard Emperor Xia calling him, he immediately stood up and stepped forward to walk a few times, and said respectfully: "The last general has ordered people to bring a lot of boulders from the northern mountains, and is currently cleaning up the mud and stains for the boulders!" ”
After hearing this, Emperor Xia bowed his head slightly and said: "Okay, the monument will also be completed after the New Year!" ”
"Father, the son suggests that in addition to the monument, a memorial hall can be built around the monument, as well as a list of meritorious heroes!" Li Siqi hurriedly suggested.
Emperor Xia bowed slightly: "Okay!" But this money is still from your wife's house! ”
In Li Siqi's heart, 10,000 of those divine beasts ran by......
Li Siqi responded depressedly: "No! ”
I'll go, my mouth, what to say is not good, I have to say this! I'll run away next time I pay for it!
"After all is over, the five-year summit Congress will be held!"
Emperor Xia remembered a summit meeting five years ago, and he still remembers it vividly, and sighed: "Time waits for no one, five years have come in a blink of an eye, and I don't know what the current situation of those people is!" ”
"Summit Congress?"
Li Siqi's face froze, and when she heard this word for the first time, she asked Emperor Xia: "Father, what is the Peak Congress?" ”
Zhou Quan, who had not spoken on the side, looked at Li Siqi and explained with a smile: "Hehe, the Peak Congress is held once every five years, and it is held in the Longmen Terrace in the center of the Tianwu Continent, and the lords of the seven countries of the Central Plains will come to participate!" ”
Li Siqi frowned slightly, and hurriedly asked, "So that's the case, what did the emperors of the Seven Kingdoms say when they got together?" Will there be a conflict, a fight, or a trap? ”
"This won't happen, the Summit of the Seven Kingdoms Congress was established by the Emperor of the Qianguo Kingdom!"
Emperor Xia looked at Li Siqi and said with a smile: "The purpose of the Emperor Qianguo is to use the exchange of the Congress to unify the seven divided countries into his great strength!" And the idea of the emperors of other countries is to use the parliament to show off the strength of their country, which is also to let the surrounding countries show their strength, so that they dare not easily offend their own borders! ”
"I see, the so-called congressional exchange, that is, the exchange of the military and the army!" Li Siqi bowed slightly thoughtfully.
"That's right, I'll take you with me then!" Xia Huang said with a smile.
"No!"
Li Siqi really wants to see and see the emperors and soldiers of various countries, so that he can also learn from them and optimize himself!
……
In Nanyang City, the southern border of the Xia Kingdom!
"Oh no, Governor Dadu, Wang Dahu has gone to sea with 30,000 brothers for training!"
Zhou Yu was sitting in his camp tent, and when the news came from the soldiers outside, he immediately said angrily: "Wang Dahu is so bold, without the order of the governor of Pontus, he dares to lead his troops to sea!" ”
"This ...... This is the meaning of His Royal Highness King Ning, His Royal Highness King Ning came to find Vice General Wang early in the morning and ordered Vice General Wang to lead his troops to sea! ”
After the soldier finished speaking, Zhou Yu clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and said: "Something happened, King Ning is cheating, it is estimated that he has already united with foreign races to destroy my Great Xia Navy!" ”
"What! This, His Royal Highness King Ning, this, this is a rebellion! The soldier said in fear.
Zhou Yu didn't reply, and walked a few steps left and right in his tent, thinking about how to deal with it.
"That's it! Now, immediately, immediately and immediately, bring my handwritten letter back to the imperial capital, and hand it over to Your Majesty, or Her Royal Highness! ”
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he sat directly at the table and began to write a letter, and then handed it to the soldier and said softly: "What's your name?" ”
"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, the small one is called Zhang Chungui!"
Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "Okay! Zhang Chungui, you go back to the imperial capital now to deliver a message, you must be careful, especially when you go out of the city, be careful of King Ning's cronies! ”
"Little leader! Never stop until you reach the imperial capital! The soldier assured.
"Good!"
Zhou Yu patted his arm and said softly: "You leave from behind the tent and go directly to the imperial capital!" ”
"No!"
Zhou Yu saw that Zhang Chungui had run away, his eyes were slightly worried, he paused for a while, and shouted loudly:
"Someone's coming!"
"What does the Metropolitan Governor command?"
Two soldiers walked in from outside the tent, knelt down on one knee and asked respectfully.
Zhou Yu waved his hand and shouted: "Pass my military order, rectify the army, and go to sea in half an hour!" ”
"No!"
Zhou Yu guessed that King Ning wanted to use the hands of aliens to destroy his navy, and the ultimate goal was to stand on his own!
Half an hour later, Zhou Yu walked to the big school.
"Brothers, Vice Admiral Wang Dahu led 30,000 brothers to the sea for training, and the Governor of Pontus got the news that this is a conspiracy of the alien race, and the Governor of Pontus is ready to go to meet Vice General Wang Dahu, as well as our 30,000 brothers!"
Zhou Yu looked at the 120,000 naval officers below, put his hands behind his back, and said loudly.
"Yes!"
120,000 admirals said in unison.
……
A junior general on the city wall looked at the 120,000 navy on the colonel's field below, smiled disdainfully in his heart, and then immediately left and ran in the direction of the city lord's mansion.
"His Royal Highness King Ning!"
That young general was none other than Zhang Dasheng, one of King Ning's ten lieutenants, and King Ning Li Cheng arranged for him to inquire about the navy's intelligence!
"Your Highness, as the imperial concubine expected, Zhou Yu is going to sea!"
Zhang Dasheng ran over, bowed slightly to King Ning, and said loudly and excitedly.
There is a young woman sitting next to King Ning, it is really Princess Ning, Zhu Qingqing!
"Hehe, this king already knew!"
King Ning said lightly to Zhang Dasheng, and then looked at the beauty in front of him, and said with a smile: "This king has a military advisor like Qingqing, what other big things can't be done?" Hahaha! ”
"Your Highness has won the prize! This is the matter of the concubine! ”
Zhu Qingqing smiled faintly and looked at the north thoughtfully.
King Ning noticed Zhu Qingqing's strange appearance, his face froze, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhu Qingqing said expressionlessly: "It's okay! I'm afraid that the plan will change, don't forget who Zhou Yu is! ”
"You mean, he will send someone back to the imperial capital to report the news?"
King Ning suddenly stood up and immediately shouted loudly: "Someone! ”
"Your Highness!"
Walking outside the hall, two soldiers walked in, knelt down on one knee towards King Ning and shouted respectfully.
King Ning ordered gloomily: "Seal the city gate, from now on, no one is allowed to leave the city, and if you find a suspicious person, you will be killed directly!" ”
"Subordinates obey!"
