Chapter 487: Dark Tide Surging (200 Monthly Pass Plus Update)
"The host has been taught the essence of naval warfare by Zheng He, the 'Three Treasure Eunuchs' of the Ming Dynasty, and has obtained the skill: Seven Seas! Command +5! Zheng He once led a fleet to the Western Ocean seven times, defeating pirates and enemy troops on the way many times, without defeat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Tiger Talisman panel pops up, and there is an additional ship-like logo in the skill bar, "Obtaining this skill host can increase the travel speed of the fleet under your command by 10%, increase the accuracy of artillery hits by 10%, and accurately find the route at any time, which can be upgraded." ā
Very good and powerful, naval warfare is nothing more than a contest of speed and hit rate, and the skills that have been greatly improved in both aspects will undoubtedly make their fleet invincible in naval warfare, and can also avoid the trouble of getting lost, Li You was overjoyed in his heart, and couldn't wait to start experimenting with his newly mastered "Seven Seas".
Immediately, under his command, the fleet went into action again, and Li You even put down a few seriously damaged ships as target ships to experiment with the improvement of the hit rate of the "Seven Seas". Next, Li You's performance surprised Zheng He, under his command, the fleet advanced and retreated freely, chopping waves and exerting speed to the extreme, which was not much worse than his personal command.
Within range of the guns, the cannons began to roar, and after only three rounds of test firing, the shells hit the target ships in front, causing a cheer from the gunners, and the boats were sunk in a short time.
"The lord is making rapid progress, and I really admire it." Zheng He was also pleased with his progress, and Wang Jinghong and other deputies even admitted that even if he personally commanded the fleet, he might not necessarily be much better than Li You, and his naval command art was close to Zheng He, enough to command the fleet alone.
It seems that I also have a "borrowing the east wind" skill that can control the direction of the wind, if this skill is also added, even if I face Zheng He, I am afraid that I will not have the strength to fight, and when I complete the task in the future and return to the Great Wei to attack the territory of King Yue, it is just enough to let them see and see the power, thinking of this, Li You couldn't help but show a smile.
Finally got what he wanted from Zheng He, and Li You maintained a good mood for the rest of the journey, until he went up to Liuqiu to meet the civil officials who stayed behind.
"The lower officials greet the victory of the Prime Minister and return to the court." On the dock, many officials have been waiting for a long time, under the leadership of Chen Yizhong, they saluted to see Li You, but they were not so cordial to Zheng He who was standing behind him, and what they couldn't hide between their eyebrows was their vigilance and disdain for the eunuchs.
Zheng He couldn't help but shake his head and sneer, when did it go, these guys couldn't help but put on a stand as civil officials, which really made people feel ridiculous; If it weren't for Zheng He, I'm afraid these guys would have died at the bottom of the cliff mountain a long time ago, is this the attitude towards their benefactors? Li You was very unhappy in his heart, so he pulled Zheng He in front of him and told him about his exploits in the battle of the capital in the north, forcing those civil officials to salute and thank Zheng He, so that the mood was better.
On the other hand, those civil officials, the dissatisfaction with Li You in their hearts became more and more intense, Chen Yizhong exchanged glances with Deng Guangjian and others, and their eyes were full of worry and panic that could not be concealed.
"Lord Xiangguo, Your Majesty has already arrived ten miles outside the city, you better leave early, lest Your Majesty wait longer." Someone seemed to notice something, and quickly diverted the topic to save everyone from the embarrassment. Li You turned over and got on his horse and led his subordinates slowly towards the palace, and Chen Yi and the others followed closely and kept exchanging glances, as if they were discussing something.
Ten miles outside the city, the little emperor Zhao Yu personally praised Li You's exploits, and told Li You that he was tired from the journey today and went back to rest first, and tomorrow the Queen Mother would hold a banquet in the palace to celebrate Li You's great achievements.
After Li You sent the little emperor back to the palace, he returned to the mansion where he had not lived for a few days, and the master's service was actually just a few small cabins, and when he returned, there was already a long queue outside the door, densely crowded with officials who were going to come to discuss important matters.
There is no need to rest now, Li You sighed secretly, asked Menzi to take the name card and invite them in to meet one by one, and began the work that gave him a great headache but had to do.
"You know that you are now in a catastrophe." Scholars have always liked amazing words, and the first one who came in began to be alarmist, first telling about Li You's current power, but it was very inappropriate to ignore the reader, and then came up with his own solution, using obscure language to imply that he was an unborn talent, as long as he entrusted himself with a heavy responsibility, he would be able to resolve Li You's hidden dangers, and Li You rolled his eyes when he heard it.
The rest of the people are similar, among the visitors, there are few who are really talented and willing to tell Li You some practical things, most of them are those who have read a few poetry books but have no talent, they are either alarmist, or grovel, or flattery, or offer articles for money, all they want is nothing more than a position with a high status and rich oil and water without actual work.
For those who do have the ability and are willing to do practical things, Li You will naturally not be stingy with his official position, and after inspecting their abilities, they have made their own arrangements, and only wait for the Empress Dowager to take office, and these people are neither humble nor arrogant to thank and leave.
But for other people who have no ability and want to seek benefits, Li You is not so polite, and refutes Yu mercilessly, saying that they are red-faced, hiding their faces and leaving, and when they get out of Li You's mansion, they can't help but start scolding.
It wasn't until late at night that the visitors were received, and those who had been approved by Li You hurriedly went back to prepare for the upcoming work, while the guys who returned empty-handed gathered again at Chen Yizhong's mansion to start discussing.
Whether it is really pedantic or has other intentions, in short, these people all agree that Li You is no longer suitable to hold the power of the court alone, and the court must make changes.
"But the prince must not retire with peace of mind, right?" In the midst of the heated discussion, someone suddenly asked, "Now that the government, military power, and financial power have all fallen into the hands of the monarch and the princess, and he has just made such a great achievement, the court has no reason to seize power from him, what else can I do?" ā
"This ......" everyone immediately fell into silence when they heard this, these are all words on paper, but the means of struggle are much worse.
Advise him to take the initiative to retire? Judging from today's variety, the other party has no such idea at all; Mobilize troops to force him to resign? The army of Liuqiu was all created by him, so how could he listen to these people? Say that the Queen Mother will be dismissed? It's also impossible.
"Do you remember the old things about Han Yanxuan?" Suddenly, someone said. (To be continued.) )
