The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 639 : Attacked at sea

Unconsciously, it has entered the twelfth lunar month, and there are still six or seven days before the end of the year.

Ever since he absolutely took a boat and went to Yingzhou for a round trip, Xiao Rui ordered Li Yuanfang to make secret preparations. Sea roads are no safer than land roads. As the saying goes, it is better to bully the mountains than the water. The sea is rough, and if you encounter a storm, you will be dead. So you must be prepared before you travel.

Xiao Rui didn’t tell others about her movements, but the wives had to make it clear that this trip is expected to take more than half a year. Tell them in advance so that they will be psychologically prepared. Among the girls, the one who needs comfort the most is Yan Xiaoxiao. It took a lot of time to accompany her when she was pregnant. Xiao Rui took a lot of effort to let her relax. Of course, in the future, the names of the children when they are born will also be planned, one for each boy and one for the girl.

Secondly, the cabinet scholars must be informed.

During the time when I was away from the palace, the head of the cabinet, Li Mingchong, led Lu Yuanzheng, Cheng Ming, Song Yingxing, Meng Tianhai, and Fang Xuanling in national government affairs. If they disagree, they can use the old method to decide, that is, vote. . In order to avoid a tie between the six people, Xiao Rui has decreed that Guo Ziyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, should be included in the cabinet.

There are seven people in the cabinet, four of whom are descendants. They are 100% loyal to Xiao Rui and will never betray. They will deal with the state affairs for Xiao Rui wholeheartedly. What’s more, Li Mingchong’s granddaughter is still the imperial concubine, and Lu Yuanzheng and Chen Ming are also both. Good minister, with them there, there is no need to worry about them being rebellious.

Of course, several of them strongly opposed Xiao Rui’s going out, not to mention crossing the sea to Yingzhou. A gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. As an emperor, he should stay honestly and sit in the palace.

It’s a pity that a few people can’t stop Xiao Rui. Although Xiao Rui became an emperor, he couldn’t get down. This time he patrolled Anbei and Anxi. In the future, he will be driven to the Qin country. It is impossible for him to die on the throne. .

The last few people saw that they couldn’t stop them, so they asked Xiao Rui to leave a legacy. In this way, Xiao Rui left a legacy, and once he died, he established his eldest son to inherit the rule of the prince. This blocked the voice of opposition from several people.

On the other hand, relying on the powerful medicinal power of Da Huan Pill, Li Yuanfang did not disappoint people’s expectations to break through the super grade, becoming the three most super grade masters after Li Cunxiao and Dian Wei. And Wang Dazhi has also entered a half-step super-grade, but his age is there, it is difficult to enter the super-grade state in this life.

Secondly, there are other people working hard, such as Xiao Yan.

In order to be able to accompany Xiao Rui out, he conceived to solve the case without sleep and food, and even moved into Song Ci’s home, where he cooked the melons from Song Ci’s “Records of Washing Injustices”. Just like that, His Royal Highness Tang’s latest book “The Capture of Gods” “Qin Ming” turned out!

The Da Xia Bao carried out a serialization. After seeing it, the people’s reputation exploded, and for the first time they discovered that the original investigation case can be so interesting, especially Qin Ming’s superb post-mortem technique, shocking the heavens!

This book directly ignited The Collected Records of Injustices, and Xiao Rui highly praised the value of Collected Records of Injustices in the early days, and said that all officials in charge of the case should study the contents of the book carefully. It even made “The Records of Washing Injustices” out of stock!

Taking advantage of the New Year’s celebration, Song Ci also cut the ribbon for the Criminal Investigation Academy, and Xiao Rui specially sent a handwritten congratulatory message and a plaque.

Similar to the junior college, students who graduated from the Criminal Investigation College can be given priority consideration by the officials and enter each state, capital, and county to be responsible for case investigation. If they perform well, the court can bestow fame.

Rewarding fame, such as rewarding students from the same Jinshi or Gongshi, that’s a good deal! It didn’t take ten years of hard study to gain fame, and the Criminal Investigation Academy became a hit.

Of course, this has also aroused huge opinions. Scholars are not willing anymore. Therefore, in order to alleviate the strong opposition of scholars and families, the students enrolled by the School of Administration must be of juren origin.

And this step immediately blocked the reader’s mouth.

After all, juren is a jinshi. They can choose the imperial examination or the criminal investigation college, and the criminal investigation college is so easy to graduate?

This was a concession made by Xiao Rui. He also knew that allowing the Criminal Investigation Academy to directly recruit poor disciples would be greatly hindered, so he had to make a concession first, and slow down.

After completing the task, Xiao Yan slept for one day and one night, then regained the spirit of the dragon horse, and ran into the palace to ask Xiao Rui when he would leave.

Xiao Rui had already chosen the time and set off on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. At the same time, he told Wu Wang Xiao Ze that he was going to Yingzhou and asked them to set off together.

Xiao Ze didn’t expect Xiao Rui to go with him. He also strongly opposed him, thinking that Xiao Rui had just ascended the throne and he should focus on the overall situation to avoid anyone playing tricks while he was not there.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: “That’s right! Give them a chance to show their feet, so that the cancer in Kyoto can be completely eliminated!”

Xiao Ze couldn’t help it, and went to Li Mingchong again. Anyway, the end result was that no one could stop Xiao Rui.

When the time came to Lunar New Year’s Eve, Xiao Rui held a family dinner and invited the prince to stay together.

Princess Jin was not able to come to the family banquet because she was unwell. It seemed that she was afraid of meeting Xiao Rui. The two of them obviously did not have any tricks, but they were misunderstood. It was really helpless. Jin Wang Xiao Lie is also sitting on pins and needles, always feeling that Xiao Rui’s gaze has been scanning him.

This made Xiao Lie extremely annoyed, and at the same time secretly guessed in his heart that it seemed that he did not bring that bitch, so Xiao Rui was not pleased!

So I said that you have no adultery!

What a couple of dogs and men!

Look at Li Xiu’er, who actually sat with the noble concubines, Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui, even though the King of Chu was killed by Xiao Feng sent someone, he would have to be mad at you if he didn’t die!

Xiao Lie’s stomach was full of anger after eating this New Year’s Eve dinner.

Xiao Rui naturally didn’t know that Xiao Lie’s brain had filled up so much anger. If he knew it, he would feel as if he was not laughing or laughing. He was a talented person, and he would not be wasting his portrait.

As for the other princes, Xiao Rui was the most surprised by the changes of King King Xiao Jing.

The lame Xiao Jing became a little dull, but he became a lot more stable. Xiao Rui chatted with him a few words and found that he was not as superficial as before. It seemed that he had read the book and learned something.

Xiao Rui encouraged him a few words, and he responded with a smile. Before the change, he would inevitably become angry from embarrassment.

Keeping the New Year, leaving in the first year of the Taichu, ushering in the second year of the Taichu.

For the remaining few days, Xiao Rui didn’t have to worry about national affairs, and stayed with a few daughter-in-laws, even though her waist was exhausted.

When the time came on the fifth day of the first month, Xiao Rui was ready to set off.

On this tour, Xiao Rui took Li Yuanfang, Gai Nie, Wang Dazhi, and Yan Qing for personal protection. At the same time, there were four sons trained by Wang Dazhi, who were proficient in hidden weapons, poisons, light power and other techniques. Finally, he was Azhu.

How brilliant is Azhu’s disguise. During this period, Azhu made human skin masks for Xiao Rui, Li Yuanfang and others, which can disguise their identity, so it is very useful to take her.

In addition, Al-Zhu was placed high hopes by Lu Fei and others, that is to stare at Xiao Rui, not to be drunk by the messy flowers, and to forget his wife and children in the palace.

This made Xiao Rui dumbfounded. Is he that kind of person?

It’s a business to go on tour by yourself, and it’s not going out to pick up girls. What’s more, with such a high-sightedness, can an ordinary woman be able to see it? If you were a hungry person, then the harem would be more than just these concubines, it would have been full of colors a long time ago.

When they arrived at the pier, Xiao Ze’s family had already been waiting. Xiao Rui waved goodbye to the seven cabinet scholars who had seen them off. He immediately boarded the ship and set off!

This time I went to Yingzhou, and there was not much scale. The five sea-going ships with a length of 90 meters did not use the most advanced Da Ming Bao ship in Daxia. There are more than 4,400 people on the five ships, including excellent navy and bowman, and they are equipped with gunpowder and offensive equipment.

The fleet has to go east all the way, passing through Huzhou and then going northeast. It will reach Yingzhou for almost 1,400 miles. The place where Emperor Xia settled was in Edo, so it took a few days to reach Edo, and the whole journey took about ten days.

Xiao Rui was not on a boat for the first time, so he wouldn’t be seasick, but Li Yuanfang and Yan Qing felt uncomfortable, vomiting a lot of meat and vegetables, and it took two or three days to recover.

It’s a pity that it’s winter, and the sea breeze is too cold, otherwise it would be nice to put a deck chair on the deck, eat some fruit, and enjoy the sea scenery.

According to the itinerary plan, this time the fleet needs to bypass the Osumi Strait on the south side of Yingzhou, and then go north to the coastal pier on the east side of Edo, which was very close to Edo at that time.

Today, the ship just bypassed the Osumi Strait. There is an island called Yakushima near the Osumi Strait. There are few indigenous Japanese people living on the island, which is isolated from the world. But half a month ago, it was not peaceful here.

Because there are a large number of Japanese pirates who came here suddenly and silently, the number is huge, there are seven to eight thousand people, and the boats they take are not big, the largest is only more than 30 meters long, but the number is large enough to be twenty or thirty. , Parked densely on the shore of Yakushima.

The Japanese country has been destroyed, and Qi Jiguang is responsible for the security of the entire Yingzhou. What is the intention of so many people hiding in Yakushima?

When Xiao Rui’s ship passed by the Osumi Strait, these Japanese pirates acted immediately. They boarded the ship quickly, and then sailed towards the ship where Xiao Rui was. A sharp firing pin is installed on their bow, and the faces of the Japanese pirates on the ship are cold and cruel, holding the Japanese swords in their hands, preparing to kill all quarters.

It turns out that these Japanese pirates are hiding here to ambush Xiao Rui! But how did they know Xiao Rui’s whereabouts?

Xiao Rui was resting in the room and suddenly heard a rapid knock on the door. After Li Yuanfang came in, he quickly said: “Your Majesty An enemy ship is coming!”

“Oh, isn’t it?” Xiao Rui was expressionless, unable to see happiness or anger, and quickly went out. Standing on the deck, he saw a large group of ships approaching from the north. There are six or seven nautical miles.

Among Wang Dazhi’s four sons, there are people with excellent eyesight. They stand tall and see far, and come down and say: “Your Majesty, the one who came is dressed as a Japanese!”

Although the ship Xiao Rui was on was tall and majestic, there were many Japanese people, and it was really dangerous to fight.

Xiao Rui nodded to the navy commander who was leading this time. He immediately notified the sea-going vessel to stop moving, and then waved the flag. All the oarsmen were dispatched. The other four sea-going vessels protected the middle sea-going vessel that Xiao Rui was on. At the same time, the sea-going vessel turned around. Direction, start to move backwards.

The leader of the Japanese man was a small man. He saw this scene and laughed loudly: “Emperor Xia is scared! Children, speed up and catch up, kill Emperor Xia and reappear the kingdom of Japan and Qi!”

The Japanese pirates shouted excitedly and waved Japanese swords in their hands.

It turns out that this group of Japanese pirates are not all Japanese, but also the old citizens of Qi.
