Chapter 134 Five The Fisherman of the Harbor of Arizanda
Since Li Tianhao returned to the port of Ariscinda, Arisianta has become the temporary capital of Palci, because Queen Alfret and Princess Patula also came to this port city, accompanied by a large number of high-ranking officials and generals of Palci, so Arisianda became the heart of Palcian and began to send orders to the entire empire.

In the process, Li Tianhao found that he had nothing to do, because during his expedition to Arubania, Prime Minister Wei Song had already made some adjustments to the administrative structure of Palci, so that the whole system could quickly play its role and operate in an orderly manner wherever it was relocated. In addition, the new policy implemented in Palci has gradually shown results, and the people's support for the new policy has become higher and higher, and even the religious problems that have plagued Palci for many years have gradually begun to weaken, so Li Tianhao, who returned to Ariscinda, is basically in a situation where he has nothing to do except routine affairs every day.
This is a very unaccustomed thing for Li Tianhao, who has been filled with wars, internal affairs, cumbersome affairs, and intrigue for so many years, even in Basarady, which is much more fulfilling than it is now. Therefore, in addition to having fun with his two wives, he found a new pastime for himself, that is, to go fishing at sea.
As a man who wandered on the sea in the first half of his life, sailing a boat is really a familiar thing for Li Tianhao, but if you add Queen Alfrite, Tia, Princess Patula and Li Yaohong, then this matter becomes extremely complicated.
The Palchi royal family, and even the three core figures of Palci's power and the heirs of the Li family's merchant group are all on this small fishing boat, and it is no joke if something goes wrong. For this reason, Congille, the commander of the First Fleet of Parci, was almost bald - he could neither send a fleet to protect the queen and the prince, nor could he send no one to protect him at all. But it's too hard to be unaware of yourself providing protection on the vast seas, and to be sure that no potential enemy can take advantage of it. Fortunately, Brooks gave him a good proposal to have the First Fleet of Palch hold military exercises outside of Li Tianhao's fishing grounds, and set up a large number of cordons as a result. Of course, the advantages of this are obvious, but there are also a lot of disadvantages, one of the biggest problems is that no one knows how long Li Tianhao's interest in fishing will last, and the First Fleet must continue to act until then.
Li Tianhao knows Kongill's distress - no matter how careless Congille is, he can't hide it from Li Tianhao's eyes, the superhuman vision he has cultivated on the sea has seen through everything early on, but he is still the same. It's not that he doesn't sympathize with the hard work of his subordinates, but in the process of fishing, Li Tianhao enjoyed the feeling of family for the first time.
In the past, he was running around the battlefield and the office, but now Li Yaohong is seven years old, and Patula is ten years old, but Li Tianhao has very little time with them. During the period of sea fishing, he and his family stayed away from government affairs and the attendants who followed them, completely like an ordinary family wandering on the sea, bathing in the sun, watching his children around him, and after catching fish, he could cook and enjoy it directly on the boat, Li Tianhao was obsessed with this feeling.
Unfortunately, Li Tianhao's good days soon came to an end, and at noon on December 6, just as Li Tianhao was quelling the dispute between Patura and Li Yaohong over grilled fish, a clipper boat came from the port of Arizenda.
Li Tianhao recognized the flag on the ship at a glance, it was the exclusive ship of the Minister of War Brooks, and Brooks, a noble young master who could get seasick, would rarely sail a boat, and he would do this, I am afraid that there is some urgent military affairs happening.
Before the boat arrived, Li Tianhao quickly settled his lunch, ate the fish that caused the dispute between his children and daughters, and then stood at the bow of the boat to quietly welcome Brooks' arrival amid the complaints of his son and daughter.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Royal Highness the Princess, to disturb you at this time." Brooks, who was obviously already a little seasick, said with a pale face as the hull swayed.
"I'm sorry for you, Lord Brooks. You came in such a hurry, did something urgent happen? Li Tianhao asked indifferently, he was as steady as Mount Tai on the boat as he was on land.
Brooks pressed his hand to his chest and said slowly, "The fact that the Frank Nation is gathering troops to prepare for the Eastern Crusade has been confirmed, and Lord Tatar has sent someone to report that the emissary sent by the Path Empire has reached his defense zone. Lord Tatar said that he would soon send a messenger to the port of Arizander. ”
Li Tianhao listened and nodded, he had already learned about the preparation of the Frank Kingdom for Palche, but Li Tianhao had always had doubts about the purpose of the Frank Kingdom's move and the choice of the route of sending troops - because it was too unorthodox, Li Tianhao had always judged that this was a smokescreen deliberately released by the Frank Kingdom, and he must have other purposes. To this end, he mobilized a large number of intelligence officers in Frank to confirm the true intentions of the other side in order to make timely strategic adjustments. But this time he miscalculated, if the Frankish crusade was true, then their real goal was probably not to recapture the Holy Land but to open trade routes and plunder wealth, so that the first to bear the brunt of the Paz Empire was undoubtedly the Paz Empire. Now that the envoy of the Path Empire has come to prove this, then Li Tianhao must face a choice, the Path Empire and the Frank Kingdom are both their allies, what kind of attitude should Palci take when these two countries meet each other?
This is not an easy decision to make, because it not only involves the strategic situation of Palchi, but is also constrained by the domestic situation in Palchi, and now Palchi may be involved in the war again if he chooses not to be careful, which is obviously not what Li Tianhao wants to see.
Thinking of this, Li Tianhao stretched his waist and said, "Okay, let's play here today." It seems that I have been a fisherman for too long, and God is going to find me something to do. Master Brooks, are you going back with my boat? Or ride your own clipper? ”
Brooks immediately replied: "Of course, I will go back with Your Majesty and Your Royal Highness the Prince, I have just learned the skills of my own boatman, and I believe that His Royal Highness the Prince's ability to handle the ship must be better than theirs, and I sincerely hope that the return journey can be smoother." ”
Li Tianhao smiled: "A wise choice is necessary at all times, right, Lord Brooks?" ”
