Castle of Dreams

Chang'an Palace

Chang'an Hall belongs to one of the four halls after the dream castle, and the Xianju Hall where King Li Fushou lives daily is located in the East Palace range, it is the daily residence of Queen Gu Liuyan, the courtyard is deep, and the palace is heavy.

The news that the third prince Li Siyuan had come back spread all over Chang'an Palace like the wind, and all the young princes and princesses poured over, "The third brother is good", "The third brother is auspicious", "Say hello to the third brother" kept shouting, and it was very lively.

Li Siyuan was intercepted in the garden, he looked very brother-like at the moment, and brought gifts to his younger brothers and sisters, nothing more than lanterns, folding fans, geisha dolls, etc., which were sent later.

After a burst of frolic

The queen's personal maid came to spread the word, and Li Siyuan got rid of a group of beans, sorted out the military uniforms on his body, and stepped into the hall under the guidance of the maid.

"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye." Li Siyuan saluted respectfully.

He was not allowed to bow down while wearing a military uniform, so he threw himself to the ground.

Gu Liuyan looked at the tall son, his eyes were full of love, and said; "No courtesy, sit next to the queen mother, I haven't seen you for many days, Yuan'er seems to have lost a little, and her face is tanned, but she looks more energetic."

"Queen Mother, my sons miss you so much!"

Gu Liuyan, who said this, burst into tears, stretched out his hand to caress Li Siyuan's face, and said in a slightly trembling voice; "The son is the flesh of the mother's body, how can the queen mother be willing to let you leave her side, born in the royal family and enjoy endless glory and wealth, but there is also a heavier natural morality on your shoulders, you are the crown prince, you are born to suffer more than ordinary people, the queen mother has little knowledge of the woman's Taoist family, even if she is distressed, she does not dare to violate the holy will, your father is a god-like figure, what he said and did is right, and he needs to understand it well."

This is not what Li Siyuan wants to hear, he also fantasizes about pestering his mother to say if he can go to this drudgery.

Didn't think about it

The words had already been blocked back before he could say anything, and he didn't want to think about it;

The queen mother has been in charge of the harem for many years, what kind of people and things have you never seen?

"Mother, the son wants to stay for a long time when he comes back this time, and he will be filial to you and his father.

"Son, I have to ask your father what he is going to do?"

"Queen Mother, you can help me talk about it, I just met the tenth brother, he couldn't speak when I set sail, and this time I came back and it was called "three pots", and it was still decent, and I asked for candy! . ”

"Hmph, no one can see how to help you say that your father hasn't been to Chang'an Palace for more than a week."

Speaking of which

Queen Gu Liuyan's face showed a look of displeasure, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly cooled down.

Li Siyuan was about to ask, but Mrs. Xia Guan and Mrs. Qiuyue, who were sitting next to the queen, hurriedly waved their hands, asking him not to mention this stubble, which only made the queen angry.

In fact, it is not only the queen of the East Palace who is angry, but also the concubine Nicole and the Fiona sisters who are even more angry.

Counting the math, His Majesty the King has not been there for more than ten days, which was unimaginable before.

The Holy Favor has been lost...... As long as they thought of this, the Nicole sisters were about to go crazy, and they hated that little goblin Sophia even more from their hearts, and even hated Fan Zhongzhai.

Recently, a decree has been heard in the palace;

Baron Li Yong lives in the rivers and lakes and is concerned with the court, and now offers 40,000 square kilometers of Eritrean land, which is rare and exemplary for his sincere loyalty to the kingdom.

In addition, Lei Xiaopeng, the commander of the Somali State Garrison, was a martyr, who guarded Africa for more than ten years to expand his territory, worked hard, and was crowned the hereditary Viscount of Xi'an, and the fief was mined to show his encouragement.

In addition to rewarding Viscount Li Yong of Humen for his dedication to the land, the other biggest factor is probably the dedication of the fox son Sophia, whenever I think of this, it makes the princesses of the harem hate it.

As for Major General Lei Xiaopeng, it is more of Lei Peng, the old chief of the royal guard, Yu Meng, plus he has worked hard to expand his territory in Africa for more than ten years, this title is well deserved, but it came a little late.

Another appointment in the palace of the Kingdom of the Great Ocean came as a surprise;

Pham Chung Zhai, the current secretary general of the Royal Secretariat, was dismissed from his current post and transferred to the position of Queensland.

The current Queensland Premier Van Ah Sang's resignation due to illness and his continued presence in other government positions is tantamount to making way for Van Chung Zhai.

Fan Zhongzhai led the formation of the Democratic Freedom Alliance and served as its chairman, and then a number of nobles and influential people in society joined one after another, setting off a new storm in the political arena of the Ocean Kingdom.

A discerning person can guess; This is preparing for a change of government!

Immortal Residence Hall

The curtain in the dormitory was low, and the light was dim.

On the luxurious European Baroque palace-style bed, the thin brocade quilt is messy, and you can vaguely see the amazing and wonderful curves and a waterfall of black hair, which is sultry.

After a long time

The delicate body on the bed squirmed, and the face of the sexy and charming girl was raised, it was the favorite concubine Sophia, who shouted a little sleepily and ignorantly; "Your Majesty."

"Back to Madame, Your Majesty has already gone to the front hall to deal with the government."

"Oh, when are you back?"

"This ...... We don't know, Madame just waits in peace. ”

"Alright then, help me get fresh."

Sophia sat up lazily, the young woman was watered with a moist luster, and the embroidered silk pajamas exposed the corners of her shoulders, and she could see the rounded curves exuding a charming white jade luster.

In the front nave

The refreshed Li Fushou strode in, and saw Li Sixian, the deputy secretary general of the royal family, standing respectfully on his side with a slight chin on his head, and walking in front of him like a gust of wind.

Coming to the throne and sitting down, Li Fushou frowned slightly and uncheckably, this Sophia is really a stunner in the world, but it is a bit of a cost.

He quickly put aside his distracting thoughts, took a sip of the brewed tea, and asked; "Have all the cabinet members submitted their complaints?"

"Back to Your Majesty's words, all of them have been presented."

"Well, British Foreign Secretary Allister Jack wrote me a long letter after the curtain of this Cabinet, and this King has approved the Cabinet, what do they come up with?"

Li Sixian replied respectfully; "Returning to Your Majesty;

Allister Jack's letter focused on South Africa and the Far East, and the Cabinet replied by diplomatic email.

As long as Fuso does not take the initiative to provoke in the Far East, the Ocean Kingdom will be committed to maintaining security and stability in the Western Pacific, cooperating with the British Far East foreign policy, and not unilaterally pursuing regional hegemony.

The only concern is the situation in Vietnam, which has recently been frantically hostile to the French Governor-General of Saigon, and has recently transferred three batches of reinforcements from Europe to the Far East.

The first batch of 1,075 French Foreign Legions arrived in Fenghua two months ago and is stationed on the spot.

A second group of 634 men, also from the French Foreign Legion, arrived in Hanoi a month earlier to strengthen the local garrison.

The third group of 2,212 people, from the French troops stationed in the Suez Canal, had just arrived in Saigon and had some bad intentions.

The diplomatic envoys of the Kingdom and the British representatives made inquiries to the Governor's Palace of Saigon; The reply was that normal personnel should be adjusted and should not disturb themselves.

Such an answer was hardly satisfactory, so the Cabinet expressed concern about the situation in Indochina with the former Foreign Secretary Alister Jack and transmitted the information to London through diplomatic channels.

At the moment, there has been no positive response from London.

With regard to the situation in South Africa, the Cabinet, in accordance with His Majesty's will, expressed its willingness to follow in the footsteps of Britain and play an active role in maintaining peace in southern Africa. ”

"Yes, you can."

Hearing the answer, Li Fushou nodded, his control over the government is comprehensive and deep, and the cabinet is just an executive body.

His current performance is still acceptable, so he is not willing to make a big move, reshuffle the cabinet ahead of schedule, and wait for the expiration of the current cabinet's term.

asked Li Sixian a few more questions, Li Fushou waved his hand to let him retreat, he glanced at the thick plea on the table, and had no intention of looking at it for the time being, and his slender fingers gently tapped the fold to think about it.

The French are not honest again, they regard Indochina as their own forbidden territory, and even the British do not hesitate to intervene, how can they allow Rausch to cross the country and establish it?

After the French colonizers invaded Indochina, they successively destroyed the kingdoms of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, and crossed the Mekong River from Thailand, while the British took the lead in occupying the Kingdom of Burma to protect the flank of the Indian colony from French infiltration.

To be honest, the Indian colonies were actually snatched from the French by the British, ahem...... It's all hatred!

For the nascent Yue Kingdom, whether it could withstand the French attack was crucial.

If you bear it, the future regime will be stable.

If you can't bear it, don't say anything, Gu Zhiwen still obediently went back to be the eldest young master of the Gu Mansion.

Although Gu Zhiwen sent his two sons Yanqing and Yanxi to the Ocean Kingdom, Li Fushou was limited in what he could help, only in terms of providing arms and military instructors and some funds, and the rest depended on himself.

After all, the king of Yue is surnamed Gu and not surnamed Li, Li Fushou has no need to shout and kill for this, for him, one more Yue Guo is happy to see it, it doesn't matter if there is one less, it is worth nothing.

It would be interesting enough to be able to send a high-level military delegation there.

For this ambitious brother-in-law Gu Zhiwen, Li Fushou only mentioned one word of advice; Professional things are done by professional people.

As for whether to listen or not, hehe...... It's your guy who sucks it, it hurts on yourself, and it has nothing to do with others.

There has been nothing to do in the Far East in the past two years, not to mention the baskets of Chen sesame seeds and rotten grain in the Manchu Dynasty, Fuso is secretly gritting its teeth and wrapping its wounds, and I heard that the emperor is going to take out the Neinu and naval construction again, calling on his subjects to eat less rice balls, and calling on young women to come forward and go to the South Seas......

Well, Li Fushou admits that these little devils are ruthless enough, and the momentum of their rise is still unstoppable, and he is really out of line.

In the near future, an official delegation from Tsarist Russia will visit the Ocean Kingdom and the United States to inspect shipyard facilities and the ability to build battleships, preparing to build capital ships for the Far Eastern Fleet in Vladivostok.

Now the situation is deteriorating in South Africa, for this area, Li Fushou still has some ideas, of course it is impossible to occupy it, it is already the bag of the British Cape Colony, no one will give up this big treasure.

The French and the Germans didn't dare to make up their minds, the ocean kingdom still forgot it, don't look for fun.

What Li Fushou wanted to fight for was the right to fair development, and if the British wanted his help, they must give the Chinese the right to participate in gold and diamond mining fairly, and ensure that private property is sacrosanct.

Without these conditions, he doesn't want to get involved, so you can play by yourself.
