Chapter 87 [Hundred Miles in Urgent] (Additional update, please subscribe)
Royal study room.
"My son, please see your Majesty."
Li Chengqian just bowed slightly and did not kneel like the second prince.
"Now that you have become regent, according to state etiquette, it is time to decide on the Crown Princess and choose a date for the wedding.
I called you here to ask if you have someone you like. "
Emperor Qing was sharpening his arrows and asked without even raising his head.
The arrow in his hand had been sharpened to a very sharp edge. He could even see the reflection from the blade and his own reflection.
However, even so, it still could not meet the standards that Emperor Qing wanted.
Li Chengqian glanced at the second prince. This guy was really restless.
As soon as he came back from Yishiju, he tripped him up.
So dedicated!
"Your Majesty, there is someone in my heart, but..."
Li Chengqian was about to speak but stopped.
"If you like someone, just tell me and I will grant you marriage."
Emperor Qing waved his sleeves indifferently.
After assembling the arrow in his hand, Emperor Qing drew the bow and aimed again.
Right in the heart.
But, it still cannot penetrate.
"The person I like is the Saintess of Northern Qi."
"Who?"
Before Emperor Qing could speak, the Second Prince was startled, spoke subconsciously, and looked up in surprise.
Emperor Qing also looked at Li Chengqian in surprise, "Who are you talking about? The Saintess of Northern Qi?"
Emperor Qing even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears as the world's number one master, and that he had heard it wrong.
You, the Crown Prince of Nanqing, actually want to take advantage of the Holy Maiden of Northern Qi?
Will people agree?
is it possible?
There is no use in giving marriage.
Moreover, the two countries are different, and granted marriage will not work.
"Change it." Emperor Qing put down the longbow in his hand and said.
The second prince lowered his head, but was speechless.
He had thought that the prince might choose anyone, but he never expected that he would specifically ask for the Holy Maiden of Northern Qi.
For others, all that is needed is an imperial decree from Emperor Qing to grant them marriage.
But, the Saint of Northern Qi...
This prince is really crazy.
The second prince could predict that what happened today would spread soon.
This news will even reach Northern Qi in no time.
It reached the ears of the little emperor and the holy woman of Northern Qi.
By then, the entire Northern Qi would surely be filled with indignation, and the people would launch a crusade against it.
However, if it were in the past, the second prince would have ridiculed Li Chengqian.
However, after returning from Yishiju, his understanding of the prince had reached a higher level.
Li Chengqian would never do anything useless.
So, what is the purpose of his words today?
What are you planning?
The second prince was in deep thought.
He had a feeling that this plan was aimed at Northern Qi, not Qing.
Thousands of miles apart, start planning today.
How insidious!
I lost to him, I don't blame him.
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess requests an audience." the old eunuch reported.
"What is she here for?" Emperor Qing turned around and sat down on the couch.
"Xuan."
Soon, Li Yunrui entered the imperial study.
"See Your Majesty."
"Tell me what's the matter." Emperor Qing said bluntly.
This is how he always talks to Li Yunrui.
"I have someone to recommend for the Crown Princess," said Li Yunrui.
"Who?"
The second prince also looked at Li Yunrui at this moment, thinking to himself, he is still plotting against the crown prince.
I sighed in my heart.
"I think Wan'er is quite suitable." Li Yunrui said frankly.
After these words were spoken, the three of them fell silent.
The abacus beads were about to jump onto several people's faces.
Emperor Qing chuckled, the meaning of which was unclear.
"What do you think?" Emperor Qing looked at Li Chengqian and asked him again what he thought.
"I still like the Saintess of Northern Qi." Li Yunrui said with a bow. "Have you seen her? Do you like her?" Emperor Qing was also amused.
"I've heard of it and have admired it for a long time." Li Chengqian replied.
Li Yunrui couldn't help but laugh.
"Your Highness, you are really bold. Northern Qi Saint Haitang Duoduo may not agree."
Li Chengqian glanced at him and said:
“There are always more difficulties than solutions in this world.”
The conversation in the imperial study quickly spread.
When the whole of Kyoto learned who the prince was talking about, everyone was stunned.
"Bang Duoduo?" Many people laughed.
Hearing this answer, Fan Jian also laughed.
At the same time, the news spread quickly throughout Kyoto.
The banks of the Liujing River.
Zuixianju.
On the river, in the pleasure boat.
A person with a graceful figure leaned slightly against the window and listened to the maid's report.
"Who?" Si Lili was stunned for a moment when she heard Haitang Duoduo's name.
"The news from the palace has been confirmed. It is not false. It is indeed what the prince said."
Hearing this, Si Lili suddenly laughed, "I wonder if Duoduo will be so angry that she will pick up an axe and rush to Qing Kingdom after hearing this."
As she smiled, her demeanor became more and more charming.
Si Lili is a naturally charming woman with a delicate figure and enchanting voice.
Her delicate and charming look can instantly arouse a man's desire to protect and possess her.
"Send the message back quickly." Si Lili reminded.
"Yes!" The maid turned and walked out of the room.
Si Lili looked at the foggy river surface and suddenly recalled the assassination that happened five years ago.
After that, she became the prince's person.
Over the years, he has been controlling the brothel intelligence network for the prince.
Royal study room.
The matter of the Crown Princess had not yet been resolved when someone urgently reported.
“Your Majesty, a large number of unidentified troops appeared in Jiangnan and attacked coastal towns, causing heavy losses.
The Jiangnan navy has been defeated and is in disarray. "
The message was sent to Kyoto as soon as possible.
Emperor Qing's expression suddenly turned cold.
"About how many troops are there?" Emperor Qing asked the key question.
"About 50,000, all of them are brave and skilled in warfare."
Almost at the same time, a sound was heard again outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Ge, the director of the First Division of the Inspection Bureau, and Yan Ruohai, the director of the Fourth Division, request to see Your Majesty."
"Xuan!"
Emperor Qing looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Get up first."
The military situation is urgent now, so the matter of the Crown Princess has to be put aside for now and discussed later.
"Your Majesty, I just received news that a large number of highly combat-capable naval forces, numbering about 50,000, have appeared along the coast of Jiangnan."
The information from the Inspection Bureau is always more accurate.
"Do you know who it is?" Emperor Qing stood up.
“Not far from Qing, there is an island country called Wa, which also calls itself Yamato, and is extremely ambitious.
These 50,000 naval forces came from Japan and are extremely powerful. "
Yan Ruohai reported.
He was responsible for monitoring all matters outside Kyoto, and would report to the palace as soon as he received any news.
"Japan?" Emperor Qing frowned.
He also knew this small country.
Back then, when the Qing Kingdom swept across the world, he also thought about sending troops to Japan.
However, the Qing Kingdom’s navy has always been a weakness.
Neither Northern Qi nor Qing had a strong navy.
The navies along the border and coastal areas are nothing but useless pieces of shit that only collect salaries for nothing.
When encountering Japanese pirates, they ran faster than ordinary people.
Some even colluded with the Japanese pirates.
"Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to send a large army to drive the Japanese pirates back to the sea." Zhu Ge advised.
"Who to send? You?"
Emperor Qing's words immediately silenced Zhu Ge.
"Your Majesty, here's an urgent letter from Dean Chen." The old eunuch came over in small steps.
Emperor Qing glanced at the letter, then looked at Li Yunrui and said:
"The letter said that someone in the Ming family in Jiangnan was secretly colluding with the Japanese pirates."
