Chapter 330: The Royal Navy in Action

The next morning, Li Guangtai went to the palace to read the decree.

Emperor Mingbei was extremely reluctant to be stripped of his title at first, after all, no matter how much he was a puppet, once he was really removed from the title of emperor, his reputation would be greatly damaged, and even his own throne might not be guaranteed.

The reason why the imperial family can survive in Fuso to this day and the shogunates do not dare to act rashly is because the imperial family still has a certain prestige among the people, which makes the shogunate in power jealous.

Once he is really taken to the title of emperor, I am afraid that it will not be long before Tokugawa Yasuaki has a reason and an excuse to abolish himself.

But Empress Hanako and her son, Crown Prince Matsuhito, openly and secretly signaled to Emperor Mingbei, asking him to go to the title and write to the Emperor of the Great Zhou to complain about his guilt.

"The queen and Songren will not harm themselves!" Thinking like this, Emperor Mingbei squirmed and took the holy decree read by Li Guangtai.

At the moment when Akibe received the holy decree, Prince Matsuhito breathed a sigh of relief, and Tokugawa Yasuaki also had a smile on his face.

It's just that Mingbei, Matsuhito, Tokugawa Yasumi and even Li Guangtai didn't expect that rumors had begun to spread at the Kyoto dock at this time.

Adhering to Zhang Lingyang's meaning, Han Liang, the commander of the First Fleet of the Great Zhou Royal Navy, had already given a death order before the First Fleet set off, and Li Guangtai could not be allowed to complete the matter satisfactorily no matter what.

What can be used to stop it?

At first, the people of the First Fleet really couldn't find a reasonable excuse to stop it, and it wasn't until after the incident at Prince Matsuhito's Mansion last night that the people of the First Fleet came up with a 'reasonable' reason: that is, Tokugawa Yasuaki and Li Guangtai desecrated Empress Hanako and Princess Rishino together last night.

Believe it or not, the men of the First Fleet began spreading the news around Kyoto Castle that morning.

There were several advantages to this, the first of which was that the prestige of the Fuso royal family would inevitably be dealt an unprecedented blow, Tokugawa Yasuaki's rule would be unstable, and Li Guangtai would be hated by Fuso's subjects.

Such a triple victory, even if Ming Bei accepted the holy decree of the Son of Heaven today, it would not help.

"Alas, have you heard, last night Lord Li played with Fusang's Empress Hanako and Princess Lixiao in the Prince's Mansion." In a relatively high-end restaurant in Kyoto City, several officers and men of the First Fleet were drinking there, and one of the young generals dressed as a lieutenant said mysteriously to the other soldiers.

It's just that this general's voice is not small.

This restaurant is more upscale, and most of the people who come and go are naturally people with status and status in Fusang, and they are naturally no strangers to Chinese, and may even speak more fluently than the local language of Fusang.

This kind of thing is not strange in Fuso and Goryeo, and it is even a normal thing.

Just like in Europe, the European aristocracy thinks that the French language is the most beautiful, so that everyone is proud to speak French, and if a nobleman speaks his own Chinese language, he will be considered by other nobles as a turtle or an upstart, and he will not be on the table at all.

The situation in East Asia was very similar to that in Europe, the nobles of all countries took pride in speaking Chinese, and the guests inside naturally understood the words of these Great Zhou soldiers.

When they heard that these Great Zhou soldiers were talking about the secret of the royal family, they pricked up their ears one by one to listen.

At the wine table, another lieutenant shook his head disappreciatively and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang said this, why don't I believe it, brother." Thinking about how much influence the royal family has in Fuso, how dare Tokugawa Yasuaki do this? What's more, Master Li is also an upright person, and he can't do this, so Brother Zhang shouldn't be joking! ”

"Brother Zhao, don't believe my old Zhang's words!" The lieutenant surnamed Zhang said with a serious face: "Last night, I personally accompanied Master Li to attend the banquet in Prince Songren's mansion. ”

"Really?" Captain Zhao asked with a look of surprise.

"It's true!" Captain Zhang nodded and said, "Last night, I saw with my own eyes that Empress Hanako and Princess Lixiao were clustered around Lord Li, and Lord Li's hands were still very dishonest......

The painting described by the captain surnamed Zhang is as if the picture of last night is presented again, and the captain surnamed Zhao can't believe it.

"Tsk!" The captain surnamed Zhao shook his head and sighed: "I think Master Li is also upright in our Great Zhou, but I didn't expect that after a trip to Fusang, he began to reveal his true form, which is really unseemly!" ”

"Actually, I don't blame Master Li!" Xiaowei Zhang shook his head and said with a smile: "Do you think, this Queen Huazi and Princess Lixiao are the two most noble women in Fusang Country, who doesn't want to get started with such an identity?"

Besides, the relationship between Queen Huazi and Princess Lixiao is a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and it is exciting to think about it, so it is no wonder that Lord Li did not hold it in the end. ”

"And I've heard about it!" Captain Zhang said in a mysterious and mysterious way: "Tokugawa Yasuaki saw that our Lord Li enjoyed the blessings of all the people, and he was so horny that he wanted to join the battle group, but where would our Lord Li be willing?" In the end, it was Tokugawa Yasuaki who called his wife and daughter to serve Mr. Li together, and Mr. Lee reluctantly 'invited' Tokugawa Yasuaki to fight together. ”

"There's something wrong with that!" Captain Zhao asked 'suspiciously': "Lord Li and Na Tokugawa Yasuaki have defiled Empress Hanako and Crown Princess Lixiao so much in the Prince's Mansion, is it possible that the monarch and the prince of Fusang don't know?" ”

"How could you not know?" Captain Zhang sneered: "This Fusang royal family is also wonderful, that Prince Songren was at the scene at the time, but he didn't dare to stop it, he could only watch his mother and wife being defiled."

And I also heard that Natokugawa Yasuaki, relying on his power, has long defiled Empress Hanako and Princess Rishino......"

At the time of the rise of what Zhang Xiaowei said, he didn't 'find out' that the originally overcrowded restaurant was empty at the moment, and one by one the customers left the restaurant without looking back after listening to the conversations of Zhang, Zhao and other Great Zhou soldiers.

Seeing that there were no other customers in the restaurant, Zhao, Zhang and other soldiers smiled at each other, drank a glass of wine each, and went back to the dock.

This happened not only in one restaurant, but also in dozens of restaurants in Kyoto City, and this kind of thing happened this morning......

Because of the deliberate guidance of the officers and men of the First Fleet, before evening, the subjects of Fuso in the entire Kyoto City knew what happened in the Prince's Mansion last night.

But Li Guangtai didn't know about it at all.

As for Tokugawa Yasuaki, Akibe, and Prince Matsuhito, they had already learned the news at noon, and they were thinking about how to eliminate the news.

But the fire of human gossip knows no nationality or race, how can it be so easy to extinguish?
