Chapter 34: Descendants of the Tang Imperial Family
On the evening of May 6, 3011 in the Tang calendar, in a study room of the Baron's Mansion in Fushan County, Liuyun Empire, Baron Su Mingyuan looked at his three sons with a gloomy face and said: "I told you, let you stop having any unrealistic ideas, after all, your younger brother is already a hereditary baron officially canonized by the emperor, and it is considered to have set up another Su family, so the three of you should put your mind more on the military and government affairs of Fushan County!" ”
The eldest son, Su Rui, hesitated for a moment and said: "Father, the three of us don't have any other ideas, we just feel that we want to fight the tiger brothers and go into battle as father and son soldiers, and the three of us just want to help a group of fourth." ”
The second son, Su Kai, followed and said: "Father, now the independent fleet under the command of the fourth is getting stronger and stronger, I heard that it already has six super dreadnought battleships and four dreadnought battleships, and in the naval battle of Kangshan Port, many battleships of the Jisk Empire were captured, presumably the royal family's peeping heart for the independent fleet must be getting stronger and stronger, if the three of us can become the top of the independent fleet, we can help the fourth and firmly control the independent fleet." ”
Baron Su Mingyuan snorted coldly and said: "The three of you have not even been in contact with the navy, what can you do to help the fourth, I don't think the three of you will make trouble for the fourth, even if you help him." ”
The third son, Su Tao, immediately said: "Father, the fourth brother is now leading troops to occupy Kangshan City of the Celestial Star Empire, and the three of us can ......."
Before Su Tao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Baron Su Mingyuan, "No need to say any more, I still have a lot of official documents to deal with here, you three go and get busy!" ”
After the three brothers, Su Rui, Su Kai and Su Tao, left their father's study, Su Rui said unwillingly: "Second and third, what should we do now?" My father wouldn't let us go to the third child, so our previous plan wouldn't work! ”
Su Kai sighed and said, "If we can't even pass the level of my father, even if the three of us get to the fourth, it will be difficult to implement that plan." ”
Su Tao said with a somewhat lonely expression: "Actually, what my father said makes sense, the fourth child has become a hereditary baron, and the previous ideas of the three of us are almost difficult to realize, it seems that the Royal Navy Independent Fleet and the mysterious shipyard in the hands of the fourth child will not belong to our Su family in Fushan County." ”
After the three sons left Baron Su Mingyuan's study, a middle-aged man in a robe walked out of the back room of the study, "Hehe, brother-in-law, your three sons must have taken a fancy to the fleet in Xiao Yi's hands." ”
Baron Su Mingyuan rolled his eyes at the middle-aged man and said, "Wei Jingrong, aren't you the same, you also have a crush on the fleet in your nephew's hands!" ”
"There is no way, the descendants of our Tang royal family, for more than a thousand years, have always wanted to restore the country, and have made many attempts, but unfortunately each time it ended in failure, and now the sudden rise of Xiao Yi has made our family see hope again, so I have to come."
Baron Su Mingyuan frowned and asked, "The fleet and shipyard in Xiao Yi's hands really have nothing to do with the Wei family?" ”
"It doesn't matter at all, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you."
It turned out that the Wei family, where Su Yi's biological mother Wei Jinxuan was located, turned out to be a descendant of the Tang royal family, and Wei Jinxuan was also the daughter of the patriarch Wei Bozhao, but she was born as a concubine, and Wei Jingrong was the half-brother of Su Yi's mother Wei Jinxuan, and she was the sister-in-law of the Wei family.
The original surname of the Tang royal family was Ji, more than a thousand years ago, when the Tang Empire fell apart, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty was almost slaughtered, only an eight-year-old prince Ji Yu, under the cover of several palace maids, survived, and later Ji Yu was incognito in the newly established Liuyun Empire, secretly accumulating strength, hoping to restore the country one day.
It's a pity that the prince Ji Yu did not find any chance to restore the country throughout his life, so he had to pin his hopes on the future generations, but more than a thousand years have passed, the descendants of the prince Ji Yu, that is, the Wei family, although they have never given up the idea of recovering the country, and have secretly developed a lot of power, but the rule of the four empires of Cangyu, Liuyun, Tianxing, and Ziyue has been deeply rooted, and even many people in the Wei family understand that the hope of recovering the country has become more and more slim.
Baron Su Mingyuan's brows couldn't help but furrow a little tighter, "Then where did the fleet and shipyard in Xiao Yi's hands come from?" ”
Wei Jingrong immediately said: "Brother-in-law, I hope you can accompany me to see Xiao Yi, and when the time comes, you can ask Xiao Yi in person where his fleet and shipyard came from." ”
Baron Su Mingyuan pursed his lips disdainfully at Wei Jingrong, "Wei Jingrong, Xiao Yi is my own son, but he is not a child of your Wei family, and it is impossible to let my son get involved in the affairs of your Wei family." ”
Wei Jingrong then pondered for a moment and said: "Brother-in-law, now Xiao Yi's forces have actually become independent of the Liuyun Empire, and the royal family of the Liuyun Empire must not be willing to let Xiao Yi control the strongest fleet in the Eastern Continent, and after the war between the four eastern countries and the three first-class powers is over, the royal family of the Liuyun Empire will definitely find an opportunity to deal with Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi should need an ally like our Wei family." ”
Baron Su Mingyuan waved his hand and said: "With an ally like your Wei family, Xiao Yi's trouble may be even greater, I will not go with you to see Su Yi, I advise you that the Wei family also die of this heart." ”
Wei Jingrong sighed and said: "Brother-in-law, I only hope you can help me introduce me, after all, for Xiao Yi's safety before, he didn't know that there was my uncle, as for whether Xiao Yi will agree to unite with our Wei family, it depends on Xiao Yi's own intentions, or you can send a telegram to Xiao Yi to explain my relationship with him, when Jinxuan was able to marry you as a concubine, I have contributed a lot." ”
Baron Su Mingyuan thought for a while before slowly nodding and saying, "For Jinxuan's sake, I can send a telegram to Xiao Yi and tell Xiao Yi that you are his uncle, but I will also tell Xiao Yi not to interfere with the affairs of your Wei family." ”
After Su Yi received a telegram from his father Su Mingyuan in Kangshan City, looking at the content of the telegram, he felt a little strange, his father Su Mingyuan said on the telegram that his mother had a half-brother who was coming to him, and his father Su Mingyuan hoped that Su Yi would not get involved in the affairs of his mother's family, otherwise he would be burned.
Su Yi didn't delve into the telegram sent by his father Su Mingyuan, and when the uncle named Wei Jingrong came to find him, he should understand what was going on.
After the two infantry divisions of the Jisk Empire attacked Wandian Town and were blocked, they stationed their troops about ten kilometers west of Wandian Town, and the expeditionary fleet of the Shalad Empire, in less than a month, will also arrive in the sea area of the Liuyun Empire, in order to deal with the enemy from land and sea, Su Yi is very busy now, and quickly left this telegram behind.
