After returning from the Privy Council, Luo Cheng thought about it for a long time, and finally sent someone to Donglai to spread the word and transfer the royal Bohai merchant fleet to carry out a secret mission.

In the name of transporting merchant goods to Silla for trade, more than 30 treasure ships and dozens of other ships were gathered, and a total of more than 100 sea ships went to Silla.

In reality, however, this merchant fleet will be accompanied by 4,000 royal merchant ship escorts in the name of escorts. This is the strength of two entire regiments, all of which were cut down from the entire regiment of the forbidden army before.

The Beihai Division did not transfer the imperial court, but transferred the royal Bohai merchant fleet, and the emperor also had his own considerations. First, in fact, although the Beihai Division of the imperial court also has a certain strength, it is mainly responsible for protecting coastal cities and villages such as the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea in the north, trade routes, etc., and they have patrol tasks and cannot be easily transferred far away.

But the merchant fleet is different, they are called the Royal Bohai Merchant Fleet, which mainly runs the northern Bohai Sea into Korea, north of the mouth of the Yangtze River, to the coastline of Daqin in Andong Hancheng, which is their shipping range, and even to the farther Baekje, Silla, Wa kingdoms, and the Zhujing tribe further east.

The Balhae merchant fleet has many ships and guards, and it is also more familiar with the coastal areas of Baekje Silla.

Even sending them out was not a formal transfer of troops by the imperial court, the procedures were simpler and more convenient, and it was more convenient to dock supplies in Silla, which was not as fearful as sending a formal army to land in Silla.

Queen Shan came over with a bowl of ginseng chicken soup.

The chicken stew is very fragrant, there is no hormone chicken, instant chicken, etc., each chicken is naturally free-range, mainly eating insects and grass, etc., eating less food, such a chicken stew is more fragrant.

"You stew such a big chicken for me to eat in this big summer, and add ginseng, it's too tonic and easy to get angry."

"This is Silla ginseng, and it is accompanied by guinea fowl paid tribute by Silla, which must be delicious." Shan sent the soup to Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng smiled, "The ginseng of Silla is not the best, the best ginseng is Shangdang ginseng, then Liaodong ginseng, the ginseng of the Yalu River is also good, and the Baishan ginseng paid tribute by the Baishan Ginseng is also better than the Silla ginseng." ”

"Is Silla ginseng bad? The concubines thought that the saints thought that everything in Silla was good! ”

There was a smell of vinegar in these words.

Luo Cheng tilted his head and looked at the queen, and sure enough, his face was not very happy today.

"Is it because the Duke of Silla wants to enter the palace?"

"What's the matter, there are often new people in Your Majesty's palace anyway, a Tubo princess just came in the first month, and then in May, there was another Sogdian princess of Shiguo, and now in August, another Silla princess came, and a newcomer will be added in almost three months, so I'm used to it."

Luo Cheng stretched out his hand and took Bin Bin into his arms.

"Actually, no matter what, they can't compare to you."

"The concubine is not a princess, just an ordinary folk girl, which is more noble than the princesses."

"Binbin, as the old saying goes, clothes are not as good as new, but people are not as good as the old. As the Son of Heaven, there are indeed many newcomers in the palace, but you should understand that in fact, many people are just political needs, before they entered the palace, I didn't even know what they were like, and even some people came, and I couldn't even communicate with her. ”

"No matter how young, beautiful, or noble they are, they are not as good as you in my eyes. We are a bad husband and wife, sharing weal and woe, you didn't dislike me Luo Cheng back then, and resolutely married me, a poor soldier. I'm out on a war, and you're at home serving your in-laws and raising your children, how can I forget that? Even the Sui chaos, the thieves are like hemp, and you personally put on the battle to kill the thieves and protect the family, I will never forget these. ”

Shan Binbin, who was still very angry, heard the emperor's words in a deep voice, and immediately became angry, and even felt warm in his heart.

"It's good that the saint still remembers this, and thinks that now he dislikes me from a humble background, and I am not as beautiful and noble as a newcomer."

"How noble their origins are? What about you, you are the queen of Great Qin, the mother of the world. Their dignity is only given by their parents, but your dignity is earned by you who have taken a fancy to me and helped me build this country together. ”

Shan Binbin listened and couldn't help shedding tears.

"Don't say it, I'm almost moved to death when I hear it. Even if what you said wasn't true, I was so happy to hear it. ”

"Fool, how could I lie to you."

"Your Majesty, will you always be good to me?"

"Of course."

"Ten years from now, twenty years from now, when I'm old and decrepit?"

"Then you are also my queen, when you are old, am I not also old?"

As he spoke, Luo Cheng also took the queen's hand, pulled her to his side, pulled her into his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her.

The queen's face flushed, and she really felt like she was going to faint.

"Ah Lang, I know that Jiawen is not too smart, he can't compare to Da Lang Changqing, and he can't compare to Li Shisheng's Liao King Zhewei!"

"Ah Lang, I'm so worried, I'm afraid that one day you will dislike me, and even Jiawen will be disgusted with it, I'm afraid that you will change Changqing or Zhewei as the crown prince at that time."

"What are you thinking nonsense, the prince is the prince of a country, how can he be easily abolished? Besides, even if Gavin is not very smart, he is not stupid, on the contrary, he is still very loyal, which is actually a good quality. People are too smart, and sometimes it's not all good. Jiawen worked very hard to be a prince, and he didn't make any big mistakes, how could I set up another prince. ”

"Really, Ah Lang, you like the Li family so much, I'm afraid that one day you will love Wu and Wu, and set up the son of the Li family as the prince, if there is really that day, I just hope that Ah Lang can remember the old days, leave a way for our mother and wife to live, and draw a fief in the frontier, so that our mother and mother can live on each other."

Luo Cheng shook his head.

"You, cranky, I love the Li family, but I also love you, and you are still the queen, you are both loving and respectful. As for the children such as Jiawen, Changqing, and Zhewei, all of them are my flesh and blood, and they love all of them, but they were born in the heavenly family, so I also know their position very well, even if I love them, I will not abandon them and set up another family, and disrupt the order. ”

When Shan Binbin heard this, he felt at ease.

She struggled to sit up, wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Your Majesty, drink this chicken soup while it's hot, you have been working hard day and night lately, and your body can't collapse."

"I'm fine."

"You can't be careless, didn't you say it was okay before, but last year, when you suddenly fell ill during the Western Expedition, it scared us to death at that time, so we have to make up for it."

Luo Cheng looked at the fragrant chicken, "Let's eat together." ”

Shan Binbin smiled.
