"Xia Guan doesn't know which sentence Lord Xiao asked?" Facing Xiao Chen's questioning, Li Fengtian was not in a hurry, "Saying that Lord Xiao has different intentions, that is a little insight of the lower officials, saying that you Yanyun Navy will merge with Da Zhou, but it is the meaning of my military department." ”

"Alas...... It seems that the DPRK has misunderstood me Xiao Chen deeply. Xiao Chen sighed.

"Whether it is a misunderstanding or not, the adults naturally know it, but the various actions of the adults in Yanyun are actually not misunderstood." Lee Toyoda said.

"Master Li, how is Yan Yun?" Xiao Chen suddenly asked.

"Okay." Li Toyota sighed softly, and only one word of answer was worth a thousand words.

"Where's the good?" Xiao Chen asked again.

"Hello people." Li Fengtian said, "Lord Xiao's ability to govern the place, looking at the Great Zhou, no one can match. ”

"Hehe, is Master Li praising me or sarcastic about me?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"It's a thumbs up." Lee Toyoda said.

"It's true that Master Li scolds me, and praises me too." Xiao Chen said, "I also have a truth to tell Master Li, I conquered the northern frontier, drove out the Rus, recovered Gaojuli, and defeated the Dongying people, which of these so-called 'various actions' is not for the good of our Great Zhou?" ”

"In the past few years, the emperor wants war horses, I gave tens of thousands, the prince wants muskets, I give 10,000, the court wants food, I give hundreds of thousands of stones, the household is short of silver, I give tens of millions of taels, looking at our counties in the Great Zhou, including Jiangnan and Jiangdong counties, with me Yanyun, who will contribute more?"

"These are all trivial things, how much credit do I Xiao Chen have made for Da Zhou? How many times have I almost lost my life, but what did I get in exchange? suspicion, exclusion, assault, false accusations, and even assassination...... Because everyone is determined that I want to rebel, hehe, I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch! ”

"That day, Prince Li Feng sent me a letter, and he also questioned me like Master Li, and said what 'beautiful woman, why should you be a thief?' Hehe, that's a good question, but I, Xiao Chen, am not a beauty, and secondly, I am not a thief, a beauty and a thief, it's just your empty mouth and white teeth. ”

"Slowly, I haven't been a thief yet, even if I'm a thief, but who forced it? They say I'm a thief, but I think they're a thief! At the beginning, Zhu Tianfu of the Tianxuan Society once wrote a poem: 'There are poems and officials below, and the civil and military affairs seem to be average, you are officials but thieves, and thieves are officials but officials!' I think it's pretty well written. ”

"My words today are from the bottom of my heart, listening to your ears Master Li, most of you will think that this is an excuse for me to want to rebel, but these things I have encountered, Lord Li, you have never been, and some of them are afraid that they don't know at all, so I can't empathize, I also understand, I don't want to confess anything, just complain."

"Lord Xiao, I ...... the next official" Li Fengtian was shocked by Xiao Chen's words, and he didn't know how to answer for a while?

"I don't want to persuade you Lord Li to sympathize with me, let alone plot against you Lord Li for my use, to put it mildly, your small military department is not qualified enough, but I still want to ask you, Lord Li thinks that the emperor's country is important, or the people's society is important?"

"The stability of the world is the most important!" Lee Toyoda said.

"It's good to say, then if I Xiao Chen resigns and Yan Yun returns to Zhou, will the world be peaceful from now on?" Xiao Chen said.

"Uh......" Li Fengtian felt that this originally simple topic suddenly became complicated.

"If I, Xiao Chen, leave Yanyun, not only will the world not be peaceful, but there will be chaos! The tribes of the Northern Frontier, the countries of the Western Regions, the Rus, and the Dongying people will all pounce on you! Even Burma, Siam, Java, and Tianzhu will be moved by the wind......" Xiao Chen said.

"So what, I'm not afraid of them!" Lee Toyoda said.

"It's not that Da Zhou is afraid of them, but they are afraid of Da Zhou, my Lord Li, it is because they are afraid that they will be invaded and annexed by Da Zhou one day, so they will strike first, why did King Moro lead 20,000 cavalry to sweep Yanyun back then? Why did Wanyan Pingqiu form an alliance and go south? In fact, aggression is all for self-preservation. ”

"Lord Xiao's words seem to be a little profound, and the lower officials don't understand it very well." Lee Toyoda said.

"Master Li, you are just pretending to be confused, others don't understand, how can you not understand it? It's just that the big guys are pretending to be deaf and dumb, and no one dares to say that they are clear, for fear of disobeying the emperor's holy will to dominate the world and shock the world, and fall into the sin of arguing about state affairs, in the final analysis, they are not responsible! Xiao Chen said.

"Then it's still stupid for me to wait, Lord Xiao, what do you mean by telling me this, do you want me to tell the saint?" Lee Toyoda said.

"You're stupid enough." Xiao Chen sighed, "Do you think I deliberately said something to you, so that it could reach the emperor's ears, show my innocence, and excuse me?" You are wrong Lord Li, the emperor will not listen to these words, I am afraid that he will be even more angry after listening to it, he is an old man who is stubborn and self-serving, stubborn and confident......"

"Lord Xiao!" Li Toyota was taken aback.

"Hehe, I don't know what's going on today? I have said everything that should be said and what should not be said, maybe it is because you, Lord Li, are you a righteous man, so I spoke to you bluntly and said something from my heart, Lord Li, do you think you are following us to the South Seas to blow the wind, or do you get off the boat in Haining Bay? Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"Let's disembark at Haining Bay...... Lord Xiao, won't you go back with me to meet the emperor? Li Toyota still wants to hold on.

"Congratulations to St. Ann for me." Xiao Chen said, "It's inconvenient for me to see him now, I'm afraid he doesn't want to see me." ”

When he arrived in the Great Zhou Sea area, under the nervous surveillance of dozens of Great Zhou Navy Division warships, Xiao Zihao put down a small boat, sent Li Fengtian over, and then directly rode the wind and waves, sailed south, and soon disappeared into the vast sea......

Li Fengtian came back and went directly to see the emperor, but the emperor was discussing with the two princes and a few great scholars, and after listening to what he saw and heard when he went to Yanyun, he was silent.

"Xiao Chen, did he go to Nanyang to practice?" After a long time, Li Feng asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the prince's words, he said so, he also said that he would lead the fleet around the east of Dongying, and would definitely not approach our Great Zhou territorial waters, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings." Li Fengtian said busily.

"Just now, the sailor flew a pigeon, and it also said that after the Yanyun fleet left Haining Bay, it went all the way to the east." Li Shidao.

"Hehe, is this a false alarm?" Wang Anbang said.

"Why are you also shocked, Lord Wang?" Chen Wenqi said with a smile, "I heard that you also sent Mrs. Ruru and your son back to your hometown, but is there such a thing?" ”

"That's the concubine returning to her hometown to visit relatives, and it has nothing to do with this matter." Wang Anbang was greatly embarrassed.

"The wind is roaring, and the grass and trees are all soldiers." Li Wanjiang's face was very ugly.

Xiao Chen just sent a fleet out for a walk, and the entire Fengyang City was shaken! It can be seen how arrogant this kid has been now?
