Steel Dynasty - Chapter 695

[Chapter 694 Proton’s Thoughts]

“Hahaha…”

A hearty laugh came from Xiao Ming’s mouth, and he said to Pang Yukun: “Okay, I feel at ease with your words.”

He looked at Niu Ben and other generals and said : “It’s my fault that I don’t reward my merits, but don’t forget your original intention, and don’t betray my trust in you.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Niu Ben and others said in unison.

This time I came to the Palace of Political Affairs to discuss matters between Prince Zhao and his son and Queen Zhao and her son. I never thought that I would gain something else.

Pang Yukun’s gesture made him very happy. In this way, the reform in the six states would at least be smooth. However, he would only believe in a person’s age after a few sentences. In the end, how would Pang Yukun lead this team of officials to follow him? It depends on actual actions.

After saying a few more words, Xiao Ming asked Pang Yukun to leave. At this time, he looked at the humiliating letter on the ground and picked it up after hesitating.

Today’s humiliation made him feel desolate and angry in his heart. The kind-hearted and hard-working Han people have been as docile as sheep for thousands of years, but they have been bullied by foreigners many times.

Now he is the king of a country. In this era when the country is the king, the humiliation of the barbarians to him is the humiliation of the Great Yu Kingdom.

When he came to this world, would he still let Dayu live like a lamb?

No, he wants to turn this lamb into a lion that can eat wolves, and to achieve this goal, Dayu will form a martial culture, and even go to war.

After all, Western countries in the Age of Discovery are actually no different from ****. **** refers to advocating force and military expansion, taking militarism and aggression and expansion as the foundation of a country. I wonder, isn’t this the essence of the current Western powers? ?

Of course, there is another truly **** country in front of Dayu. This is the Golden Horde. Compared with the Western powers, the Golden Horde is no less generous.

Therefore, in such an environment full of bandits, he must adopt more radical political orders for military convenience, so as to preserve the wealth of Dayu and maintain the stability of the country.

He was thinking when Fiji turned back at this time, “Your Majesty, Queen Zhao and the Thirteenth Prince have all settled down. I have asked the guards to strictly guard the courtyard and not let anyone approach.”

Xiao Ming nodded, “Let Queen Zhao and the Thirteenth Prince live in this courtyard from now on, and all the food and drink expenses will be paid by the government office.”

Fiji had already had a premonition that this would be equivalent to life imprisonment for Queen Zhao and the Thirteenth Prince, but this It is undoubtedly the best result for both of them.

If the two of them lived outside, they might suffer all kinds of bullying, which would also be bad for the royal family’s reputation.

After deciding on the matter of Queen Zhao and the Thirteenth Prince, Xiao Ming continued: “Prince Zhao and his son have committed extremely heinous crimes. You will be responsible for overseeing the execution this time.”

Fiji’s eyes flickered, and he said: “Yes, Your Majesty.”

After saying this Xiao Ming waved his hand and asked Fiji to go back. It was not for nothing that he asked Fiji to kill King Zhao.

In order to complete the unification of the Chongqing Kingdom as soon as possible, he did take the approach of boiling frogs in warm water on the issue of wealthy families.

But since then, Fiji has become the representative of the wealthy family’s voice. Sometimes Fiji’s words in court represent the interests of the wealthy family.

Although Fiji spoke for the wealthy family in order to avoid exacerbating civil conflicts, he had to give Fiji a warning to prevent him from completely colluding with the wealthy family.

The execution of King Zhao this time is a reminder to Fiji, because King Zhao is a wealthy family, and a wealthy family may also become King Zhao.

He wants Fiji to understand his attitude.

After Fiji left, Xiao Ming threw the barbarian’s letter of humiliation into the brazier and turned it into ashes, but kept the words in his heart.

Today’s shame is the motivation for him to work hard.

The next day.

The news that Prince Zhao and his son were beheaded in Dongshi was published in Qingzhou newspapers and became a hot topic among the people.

In Room 1 on the fourth floor of Weijia Restaurant, Li Chuyuan was eating the food provided by the restaurant with relish. He had gained a lot of weight compared to when he first came to Qingzhou.

Waiting beside him is his steward Wang Cheng from Chu State, and lying in his arms is the oiran from Qingzhou who destroyed the green building.

“His Royal Highness, this newspaper reports that King Zhao and the Crown Prince Zhao Yuanliang will be beheaded in three days. Mr. Fei Ge asked someone to tell the Crown Prince to go and observe that day.”

Li Chuyuan was drinking wine and playing with no one in his arms. Hearing this His face changed, “Humph, why did you call me after King Zhao and Zhao Yuanliang were beheaded? It’s not just to kill the chicken to show the monkeys.”

Wang Cheng chuckled and said: “The prince is joking, this King Zhao is not a chicken, and neither is His Highness.” Monkey, since Mr. Fei Ge has personally sent someone here, His Highness should go, so as not to offend the Emperor. After all, the person he really wants His Highness to see is the Emperor.”

Li Chuyuan’s hand holding the wine glass suddenly squeezed. With his knuckles turning white, he let the woman in his arms go out, and then said to Wang Cheng: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it’s quite easy for you to call the Emperor one by one.”

This Wang Cheng was his housekeeper in name, but in fact he was Chu. The king sent him to supervise him, just to prevent him from being willful and ruining things.

At the same time, Wang Cheng was also responsible for collecting intelligence on Qingzhou.

Wang Cheng said with a smile: “People have to bow their heads under the eaves. If our Chu country has the ability to sweep across the world, we don’t have to look at Xiao Ming’s face now.”

Li Chuyuan patted the table dejectedly, “Hey, here we are. Qingzhou has been here for two or three months, and I still don’t understand why Qingzhou can produce so many types of firearms. “

“So this is what is really scary about Xiao Ming, but His Royal Highness doesn’t have to worry, according to what Xiao Ming said. “This knowledge about artillery only comes from Western missionaries. Now that the French have sent a large number of missionaries to Lin’an, we will surely have these things in a few years.”

Li Chuyuan nodded. He suddenly remembered something and said, “I heard that my father now has great trust in the French missionary Richard. Is there such a thing?”

“This Richard knows astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom. King Chu Your Highness indeed has great trust in him. After all, the only thing we can count on now is the French. Look at the fate of Prince Zhao and his son. If we cannot save the country of Chu, our fate will be the same as theirs. “

Li Chuyuan sighed slightly. With a sound, he said: “The longer I live in Qingzhou, the more I feel the uniqueness of Qingzhou. When you look at the things in the guest room, every piece of it is ingenious. How can this be compared to our country of Chu? And the food is also Such delicious food is simply the best thing in the world. It’s no wonder that the Wei family restaurant can make a lot of money every day. “

Wang Cheng’s expression became serious, “His Royal Highness, this is not the time to be greedy for words. Although His Highness is a hostage, Should shoulder the important task of revitalizing the state of Chu. “
