Chapter 536 King of East China Sea
As for the emperor, he has been very happy since he received Shen Ruyi's letter. As long as everything is fine, it's good.
He's been out for such a long time without even reporting back. This kid always likes to do big things quietly.
We actually found the lair of the Japanese pirates and killed them all. Well done, great, and exactly what I want.
These bastards who burned, killed, looted, and massacred civilians and committed all kinds of evil were finally completely wiped out.
It can be considered as a solution to a major problem in recent years.
Especially after hearing about the various crimes that the rescued Dali women had suffered and the mountains of bones that were piled up.
The officials were so angry that they wanted to whip their corpses.
No wonder the latest battle report from the southeast said that fewer and fewer Japanese pirates have landed recently, and they have all been annihilated by local sailors.
It turned out that his lucky star had directly raided the lair. It was raided well and brilliantly, worthy of being his lucky star.
Want to trade your fiefdom for that plot of land on the sea? No problem, what's wrong with that?
To be honest, it was I, the official, who took advantage of the other party.
I solved a major trouble and dilemma that had plagued the Dali Dynasty for many years without spending a single soldier or a single person.
What a great thing this is.
I have to agree. He may not trust others, but he definitely trusts Xiao Heitan.
Just like Xiao Heitan said, she doesn't trust anyone else to guard this place, she only trusts herself.
Guan Jia himself also thinks so. He doesn't trust anyone else, and he currently only trusts Xiao Heitan.
Who else could be more suitable for that place than Xiao Heitan, so he made him the King of East China Sea with a stroke of his pen.
Although they had agreed not to make her king, she was the king of the sea, not the king of the land, so it was not considered a breach of contract.
As for Xiao Heitan’s previous fiefdom, the government had no intention of taking it back, so just leave it to Xiao Heitan.
After all, Xiao Heitan had made great contributions to him as an official, but the reward he gave him was not much.
It is far from what others have paid.
Of course, I also hope to give the child something to remember so that he won’t forget to go home when he goes out.
However, the Prince of Ji'an's Mansion, which had just been built with great difficulty, had to be expanded again.
After thinking about it, I decided to move the vacant mansion next door over there, as it would be of similar size and size.
The fact that the government appointed Shen Ruyi as the King of Donghai naturally caused a shock in the court.
Many court officials stood up to oppose it.
This time the government issued a clear decree and announced it nationwide.
The excuses given by the court officials for opposing the decision were basically: No, Your Majesty, how could anyone be promoted so quickly?
He's still so young, what does he know? Is this just a joke?
He didn't do anything great, so why was he made king?
The emperor replied directly: "I think you are just jealous and envious.
You are jealous and envious of others who have achieved great success at a young age, while you are still nothing at your age.
If you really have the ability, you can occupy the South China Sea without spending a single soldier.
Whoever occupies it will be made king by me. I keep my word.
You guys go by yourselves. I didn’t say you are not allowed to do so.
Don't be useless. You can only jump around, make fuss, and gossip about others, opposing this and that.
I think you are still too idle."
The person who was dancing happily just now suddenly stopped.
It's okay to let them talk and give advice, but asking them to lead troops to fight is like asking them to die.
Only a fool would spend his own money to do that.
However, they all understood the reason and logic behind this, but they just couldn't accept that a child who hadn't even grown all his hair was standing on their heads and peeing and shitting.
When he was nothing before, he dared to debate with a group of scholars alone, causing many people to have their properties confiscated, their families exterminated, or be demoted.
If he really becomes a prince, will these people still have a way to survive?
Just thinking about it makes me feel that the future will be bleak and full of despair.
But the emperor is standing behind him. How can these court officials survive?
But no matter how unwilling you are, you have no choice but to accept your fate.
Who can blame God for being on their side? After realizing this, most people calmed down.
The emperor discovered that it was very satisfying to use Xiao Heitan's daily catchphrases to confront these court officials.
Look, how good the effect is.
Of course, there are also some stubborn ones, such as one or two old stubborn censors, who still want to continue talking.
The emperor replied directly: "I will tell the King of Donghai what happened at the court this morning..."
The two censors were so frightened that they almost fell to their knees, feeling that God was going to kill them.
He quickly returned to his original position in shame.
The officials were speechless. Look, in special times, you only need to mention Xiao Heitan.
Look at the deterrent power, it is so strong that it is beyond words.
After so many things happened, some court officials had already learned their lesson.
Whenever it comes to matters involving the Prince of Ji'an, they simply pretend to be stupid and dead and never get involved.
I found that no one who participated got any benefit, so why bother, right?
At least while the government continues to trust the newly crowned King of the East China Sea, they will not act rashly.
Among these ministers, the happiest person to hear that Shen Ruyi was named King of Donghai was Duke Zheng and the Minister of Revenue.
The old man was mainly concerned about whether the King of Donghai had obtained any valuable items or silver this time.
Based on his understanding of the King of the East China Sea, he was a man of super luck, who always managed to find a lot of good things and treasures by accident.
You have to know that these Japanese pirates have existed since the previous dynasty, and the number of them coming each time is not large.
They are the kind of people who rush to kill people and then disappear immediately. They are particularly good at surprise attacks and guerrilla warfare.
They appear and disappear mysteriously, and they succeed repeatedly. We want to send troops to deal with them, but we don't know where to start.
If we enforce strict regulations here, fewer people will come.
If we relax a little, they will come back immediately.
As annoying and disgusting as that indestructible cockroach.
These people should have accumulated a lot of wealth.
As for other things, he doesn't care at all. You can give whatever title you want, as long as you don't ask for money from him.
As soon as the emperor left, the Minister of Revenue followed him with a sly look.
Mainly, I want to ask if the King of Donghai has obtained a large sum of silver?
The official looked at the other person unhappily. Sure enough, this person only had money in his eyes.
Only goes in and never goes out, it belongs to the Pixiu.
“Yes, but the King of the East Sea currently only occupies a small area and is still expanding.
This will incur some expenses. She said that when she comes back she will keep some of the money as construction fees, and the rest will be shipped back.
She couldn't say exactly how much she would bring back, as it depended on how much the other party had accumulated in their base.
"Let's wait for her next news. "Alas, it's not good for a child to be too troublesome. It's too much to worry about." The official said in a Versailles tone.
The Minister of Revenue got the news he wanted and flattered the emperor in a good mood.
He left with a brisk pace.
I think this one is worth looking forward to. Just wait patiently. After all, this person is Shen Ruyi.
