Chapter 548: True and False Emperors
The sea is calm, showing a gentle and amiable side, but like those ferocious beasts, even when wagging their tails, they are alarming. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Huang Pugong had long been accustomed to being with this beast, and he didn't care about being swallowed by it, and looked beyond the sea to the mountains looming in the distance.
"Ahead is enemy territory."
Huang Pugong just talked to himself, forgetting that there was a person behind him.
Luan Kai's face was pale and looked sluggish, and the longer he went to sea, the more disgusted he was with the endless turbulence, even when the wind and waves were calm, he couldn't rest for a moment.
"So what are you waiting for? Call it. Luan Kai said weakly, as if any person could knock him down by blowing a breath.
Huang Pugong shook his head, "There are too few of us to beat." ”
"If you can't beat it, you can fight it." Luan Kai grabbed the side of the boat and retched outside, "At least you can die on the shore." ”
Huang Pugong smiled, "Don't worry, we'll be on the shore soon, do you see that island?" That is our resting place, and when reinforcements from the sea countries arrive, we may be able to fight. ”
"Well, will they come? Our emperor is far worse than the one at home. ”
Huang Pingping corrected solemnly, "The person on the boat is King Ying, the youngest son of Emperor Wu, not the emperor, there is only one emperor, in the capital of Great Chu." ”
Luan Kai didn't care about these differences, "It's useless to tell me, tell him." ”
Luan Kai raised his finger.
The King of England came out of the cabin, stretched his waist, yawned, he was very adapted to life at sea, he could eat and sleep, he used to be a personal soldier for Huang Pugong, but now he has a room, he doesn't have to do any work, he eats better, and he sleeps more soundly.
He wears a yellow "dragon robe" with dragons not embroidered on them, but from a paintbrush, and the brushwork is so poor that they look like a bunch of panicked clawed insects trying to escape.
"Ah, it's going to be dark again, what's going to eat tonight?" The King of England walked up to Huang Pugong, also looked into the distance, and after a while, he suddenly showed a surprised smile, "See?" Land! Land ahead! We're finally here. ”
Everyone on the boat who heard these words was laughing secretly.
Huang Pugong pressed the king's arm and said, "Let's rest on the island tonight, and then make plans after the reinforcements from all countries arrive." ”
"It's an island again, what's the fun?"
"There may be some things left behind by fishermen and business travelers."
"It's boring, I've seen it all. Reinforcements are coming, I want to go ashore, they all say that the prosperity of the big cities in the west is not lost to the capital, and I want to go over one by one. "The King was so excited.
The king turned his head and glanced at it, and there were thirty or fifty large and small ships behind him, basically all of which were brought out from Da Chu, "Reinforcements will come, right?" I'm the Emperor, and they all have to do my bidding, right? ”
Huang Pugong coughed, "This...... I'll talk about it when I take a break at the shore. ”
The island was a temporary haven, and all the ships of the Chu army could not dock, and more than half of them stayed at sea as a warning.
Once he was down-to-earth, Luan Kai quickly returned to normal, and he didn't feel dizzy when he looked at the sea, and he could even follow King Ying to the shore to fish and catch shrimp.
The fresh grilled fish was the king's dinner, and he was very satisfied, and after he was full, he said to Luan Kai: "You can be a eunuch for me, and I will make you the eunuch and the biggest official." ”
Luan Kai shook his head vigorously, "Even if you are the true emperor, I am not right." ”
The king's face sank suddenly, "What do you mean?" Am I not the true emperor? I have a handwritten letter left by Emperor Wu, which is stamped with the seal of the Great Chu Treasure Seal, do you want to read it again? ”
Luan Kai still shook his head and said with a smile: "How can I recognize that thing?" What Huang Pugong says, I believe in it, I listen to him. ”
Huang Pugong sat opposite the king and ate without saying a word.
"Huang Pugong, don't you believe me? When you were in Java, you believed it. ”
In the state of Java, Huang Pugong was in dire need of a figure to convince the king on the shore that this was a real Chu army, so he solemnly introduced the king of England, the youngest son of Emperor Wu.
For many island countries, Emperor Wu is synonymous with the Son of Heaven of Great Chu, and many kings have sent people to pay tribute, and they recognize the Great Chu Baoxi, so they accepted the Chu army and provided supplies.
The British king had great ambitions, he wanted to be the emperor, and he really wrote an edict in the name of the emperor, ordering the maritime countries to send troops to support the Chu army and attack the gods and ghosts Dadanyu together.
The Chu army had already arrived at the agreed place, but there was no shadow of the reinforcements.
Huang Pugong put down the half-eaten grilled fish and said, "I believe you are the king of England." ”
"Aren't you supposed to be the emperor? I am the youngest son of Emperor Wu, when I first seized the throne, the champion Hou died, the tired marquis, the king of the East China Sea violated the rules, lost my qualifications, and I was the only one left, and I should be the emperor. The King of England stood up, pressed his hands on the table, and stared at Huang Pugong.
Luan Kai looked at it with a smile, and finally felt that it was a bit interesting to go to sea this time.
Huang Pugong's face did not change, "This is not important, the enemy army in front is the big trouble." It is said that after fleeing, the gods and ghosts put down most of the rebellions and gathered a large army. Alas, it's a pity that we came one step late, if it was half a year earlier, we would have been able to join the Chu army on land......"
"Huang Pugong, don't interrupt, I'll ask you...... I ask you a question, do you admit that I am the emperor? The King was still staring.
Huang Pugong was silent for a while, "I am the expeditionary general of the Great Chu Emperor. ”
"I will make you a general and a prime minister."
Huang Pugong laughed, "Why do you want to be the emperor so much?" ”
"Because I won." The King of England looked at Huang Pugong inexplicably, not understanding why he was puzzled.
"Since the King of England thinks he is the emperor, why does he refuse to return to the palace?"
The King of England was also silent for a while, then sat down, and said angrily: "The Tired Marquis and the King of the East Sea said that they wanted to take me out to play, but they forgot about me a long time ago. Why should I go back to the palace? I'm going to go out and play on my own, and I don't need the two of them to take me. ”
"Your Majesty has not forgotten the King of England and has been sending people to find your whereabouts." Huang Pugong softened his tone and coaxed the king like a child.
The King was not short in stature, but his personality was indeed like that of a child, and he replied, "I won't let him find me." ”
"How did King Ying escape from Yunmengze?" Huang Pugong has always been curious, and he asked several times, but the king refused to say.
"I escaped while the guards were not prepared." The King was vague.
"Yun Mengze's people haven't found Emperor Wu's handwriting?" Huang Pugong asked again.
"I hid it well and didn't let them find out." The King still refused to give details.
Huang Pugong never believed that the King of England could hide from Yun Mengze's robbers, but he didn't ask any further, "The emperor didn't win by betting, nor was he self-appointed, he needs to be recognized by others, not just me, but everyone." ”
"No, the emperor is from our Han family, and Taizu will leave the throne to his descendants, and he doesn't need others to recognize it."
"In that case, why don't you recognize the current Great Chu Heavenly Son?"
"Because the marquis cheats, he is not the real emperor!"
"Look, that's it, you feel tired of cheating, others also think that your identity is not true, you don't recognize the Great Chu Tianzi, and many people don't recognize you either. The throne belongs to your Han family, but there are many descendants of the Han family, and it is possible for anyone to be the emperor, and even if he becomes the emperor, he may not be able to have all the power, and he has not been a puppet for a while. ”
The King of England was silent for a longer time, and then said: "It was a hopeful person who released me, and this handwritten letter-" The King of England took it out again, "It was also given to me by him, I don't know if it's true or not." ”
Huang Pugong read the handwritten letter, which was written to the concubine in the tone of Emperor Wu, asking her to take good care of the emperor's young son and expand the clan in the future.
"What's the name of the Seeker?"
"Chun Yu Xiao."
Huang Pugong roughly understood, "He asked you to go to sea with the Chu army?" ”
"Well, he said that the power of the tired marquis is too great, and there are many minions, I have to avoid its edge, establish a foundation overseas, and then fight back, I am the true son of heaven, and when the time comes, I will definitely be able to regain the throne."
Those who look forward to qi know very well that that handwritten letter can only deceive overseas countries, but cannot hide from the officials of Dachu.
Huang Pugong had long been suspicious, but he didn't care too much, as long as it could bring benefits to this Chu army, it didn't matter if he was a little out of line.
"What about the hopefuls? Also mixed in with the ship? Huang Pugong asked, such people must not be allowed to exist in the army.
The King dodged his gaze, "Who knows, I haven't seen him since I got on the boat." ”
"King Ying, those who want to be angry have bad intentions, 'Chun Yu Xiao' is their commonly used pseudonym, this person must not stay, and must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise, it will become a big disaster in the future."
The King of England was relieved, "So you want to get rid of him, don't bother, he is already dead, I killed him." ”
Huang Pugong was taken aback, and Luan Kai couldn't stop laughing, "Can you kill someone?" You can't even lift the pen, and you don't dare to clean up the fish you catch, so I have to disembowel it. ”
The king's face was slightly red, "Killing fish and killing people are two different things, killing people when necessary and killing people for no reason are completely different, I can do anything as a last resort." You think I have to work hard to lift the pen, and so does the hopeful, so he is defenseless against me, and when I plunge the dagger into it, he is sleeping soundly, and he doesn't even open his eyes. ”
Luan Kai couldn't laugh anymore, "You don't have the strength, but you have the guts, you are a human...... In Yunmengze, he will die quickly. ”
"But I survived."
Luan Kai was speechless, and Huang Pugong looked at the king with admiration, "You killed the Qi Seeker before you got on the boat?" ”
"Well, I had nowhere to go at the time, and I didn't want to go back to the capital, so I signed up for the navy army with what he had prepared according to the plan made by the Qi Seeker."
Huang Pugong got up and said, "Let's rest." ”
"What does it take for you to admit that I am the emperor?"
"If the world admits it, I will admit it."
"There are so many people in the world ......"
Without waiting for the King to finish, Huang Pugong had already left, and the King looked at Luan Kai again, Luan Kai smiled and said: "Huang Pugong admits it, I will admit it." ”
The King of England angrily pushed over the plate on the table.
Early the next morning, the king broke into Huang Pugong's tent and laughed and shouted, "Reinforcements are coming, there are many ships, and you still say that no one recognizes me?" ”
Huang Pugong hurriedly got up and went outside to check.
Reinforcements did come, more than 100 ships, flying all kinds of flags.
Reinforcements from various countries sent envoys ashore to express their willingness to fight side by side with the Chu army.
The countries of the sea are very afraid of the gods and ghosts, but the gods and ghosts are very afraid of the gods and ghosts, but the gods and ghosts are in the closed ports, destroying the ships, which is equivalent to the end of the east-west traffic, and there is no more business travel on the sea.
I heard that the gods and ghosts Da Dan Yu returned from a fiasco in Great Chu, and the countries had the confidence to follow the Chu army.
The king's joy soon faded, for all the envoys, both verbally and in writing, referred only to him as King of England or as the son of Emperor Wu, and refused to address him as "Emperor" and "Your Majesty."
"When I defeat the gods and ghosts, someone will recognize me." The King of England was not completely discouraged, "I have read that book, and I also know the art of kings. (To be continued.) )
