"Did you want that position?"
This question is really sharp and real.
After saying the words, Yan Yan stopped speaking, but tensed up and waited for the other party's answer.
After a long time, Luo Huaiyuan sighed and said, "Trust me, I really didn't think about that position."
Yan Yan turned to look at him, "Then we can live our own lives in peace, so why are you busy all the time?"
"You do not understand."
"I don't understand what?"
He hugged her and said, "Even if we don't think about that position, it's good that the father is here. If the father is not there, we must have the capital to protect ourselves."
"Self-insured capital?"
"Yes, in this way, we can advance and retreat, and do a few more preparations, so as not to mess up the rules when things come to an end."
Yan Yan's eyes froze for a moment, "You mean, if His Majesty is gone, we are likely to be involved?"
Luo Huaiyuan nodded, "You can say the same."
Yan Yan disagreed with his statement: "But if your Majesty really has something, he will definitely issue an edict beforehand. When the monarch is the monarch, and the minister is the minister, how can there be chaos? Just like now, it only takes one day The father didn't say anything, the prince was useless, the prince was the heir of Daxi for one day, and the second prince and others would not dare to take it out and see the light if they had any ideas."
Luo Huaiyuan patted her on the shoulder and said, "Everything is not as simple as you think. If things are as simple as you think, it should be fine. You can see that the palace is peaceful and harmonious, everyone knows it. Empress Xiao and Concubine Xu are at odds with each other, but can it be seen from the surface? They are as good as sisters! There is also me and the fifth one. Compared to the other three, we are more tragic. Why is this happening? There's a reason for it. And the royal father, doesn't he know all this? Naturally, if it wasn't for my twelfth year, he wouldn't let me go out of the palace with such a clumsy method."
After that incident, Luo Huaiyuan also thought about it carefully. He thought that he had a good plan, but in fact he thought so at the time, and he thought about it later. The reason why it didn't raise suspicion was that Emperor Xi helped cover it up.
In the past life, Luo Huaiyuan's sense of Emperor Xi was that he was a foolish prince, otherwise he would not have been played around by two women. After seeing more and watching more, I gradually understood some clues. It turned out that he was not as stubborn and self-willed as he appeared on the surface.
To put it bluntly, it is just unpredictable things in the world. Even if he is the king of a country, there are many, many things that he cannot control.
Everyone has their own plans, the Queen and Crown Prince have their own plans, Xu Guifei is like the second prince, Emperor Xi also has his own plans, and the following civil and military officials also have their own considerations. To be more serious, even a small eunuch in the palace might have his own ideas.
They are all people who were born with imperial power. When an emperor gradually grows old, a new generation of heirs grows up, becoming a dragon and phoenix no less than anyone else. At this time, all kinds of ideas will involuntarily breed. They must seize the opportunity to win the biggest piece of the cake. The so-called emperor and courtiers, this principle applies both above and below.
These secretly bred thoughts are colliding below every moment. They seem inconspicuous, but they affect the whole body. Both sides of the game only use the person who controls their side to move towards a goal, and the person who seems to be playing chess, is he really playing chess? After all, he was just someone who had already been caught in the chess game. Many times, many things are beyond his control.
The struggle for imperial power is like this. It is like a huge reel rolling forward. All the people in the vicinity will be drawn into it involuntarily. The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit.
Luo Huaiyuan brought out some very small things as evidence, which made Yan Yan shudder.
"Don't be afraid, we still have a grandfather." Yan Yan didn't know whether she was comforting herself or Luo Huaiyuan.
Luo Huaiyuan smiled bitterly: "Don't think of our grandfather too much, okay? At this time, the Shen family is in the center of the whirlpool. If he is in full power, will grandpa throw out all the juniors in the family? Right? , I'm going to Fuzhou this time, and I also want to see Shen Qi, I don't know how he is there."
The matter seemed to be more serious than expected. When Yan Yan was asked to see the cleverness of those people in the palace, she couldn't understand it. If you go to see Grandpa's house, you can see one or two things. Maybe things are as Xiaopang said, and they are not as peaceful as she imagined. They are all preparing, how can they not prepare
Suddenly, I felt a little unreasonable, and Yan Yan showed some shame on her face.
"Okay, you don't have to think too much. You don't have to worry about these things outside, just let the husband come."
The two talked for a while before hugging each other to sleep.
After a few days, Luo Huaiyuan quietly left the Yun Wangfu with his confidants.
All this did not cause any waves, as if nothing had happened.
At this time, Shen Qi, who made Yan Yan think about it, lived like a duck to water in Fuzhou.
After the depression after leaving home for the first time, the colorfulness of Fuzhou quickly caught his eye.
As soon as he arrived in Fuzhou, Shen Qi went to seek refuge with his cousin Shen Xuan. After listening to Luo Huaiyuan's words, he went to investigate 'own business'. After Shen Qi found that he was not interested in these, he devoted himself to the Fuzhou Navy.
They are all in the army, but there is a big difference between the Marine Corps and the Marine Corps. It took Shen Qi a long time to get used to it.
Due to the opening of trading ports by Daxi, the sea merchants who came to Fuzhou for trade were like crucian carp crossing the river, and at the same time, there were more and more ghosts and ghosts.
The envoy of Fusang was expelled from Beijing, and when he went to court the next day, the court went through a series of discussions on this matter. The whole court unanimously believed that the small country of Fusang was reckless and did not take my Daxi in the eyes. In order to punish it, the Shi Ship Division banned all trade with Fusang, and the goods of Fusang's own country were not allowed to go ashore.
The name of Kanai did not expect that the dignified and dignified, well-known and powerful country would be so small, and it was only because of some minor conflicts during diplomatic relations that such a ban was imposed. But it was too late, and the Fusang envoy led by him was ordered by the Fuzhou navy to board his own ship and escorted out of the Daxi sea area.
Knowing that this matter is a big deal, I can't escape the responsibility. The famous name of Kana had an idea, and he set his tone with everyone who followed him. The unanimous statement was that Daxi would retaliate and did not accept the friendship of Fusang. They were insulted in Daxi and were driven out. Others also understood the point, and in order not to take responsibility, they agreed with Kana Daimyo's remarks.
After returning to Fusang's homeland, Kana's daimyo complained to the Jianglu shogun. Seeing the envoys he sent, all of them described as messy and decadent, the general did not doubt them.
The envoys sent by the Jianglu shogunate were humiliated and returned in Daxi, which caused a great shock in the shogunate of Fusang. Seeing that no peace talks can be reached, the Fusang people are also dignified, so they no longer have the idea of establishing diplomatic relations and friendship with Daxi.
Dignity is good, but the Fuso country crisis still exists. Neither farming nor handicrafts in the country can be achieved, and all the things used in daily life are imported from outside, and most of them are produced by Daxi Kingdom. Now that he has broken diplomatic relations with Daxi, how can the life of Fusang continue
There is no other way but to go the old way. Just like Daxi Haijing before, he went out to sea to grab it.
It's just that Daxi is now different from what it used to be. The sea ban has been imposed, and the maritime trade has become more and more mature. There are naval navy stationed along its coast. If you can't grab the coastal area of Daxi, you can only grab Goryeo, Ryukyu, Siam and other small countries, as well as the passing merchant ships passing through the sea.
Naturally, the Fusang Kingdom did not dare to take big risks. Even if they went out to sea to rob them, they would just run away and commit crimes, and they did not dare to reveal the characteristics of Fusang people. They all disguised themselves as people from other countries. Such a capital-free transaction is extremely profitable, and the participation of speculators and desperadoes is always indispensable. You must know that if you grab a ship of goods, you can eat it for several years. Many scattered pirates also joined in, and the pirate team grew stronger and stronger.
These people were concerned about the power of Daxi's navy and did not dare to enter Daxi's sea area, but they made a mess of the sea outside it. Merchant ships that came to do business were often robbed, so the affected Fuzhou Port gradually became a bit depressed.
Emperor Xi, who had tasted the sweetness, and many officials of the dynasty, how could they allow someone to snatch food from their mouths, and unanimously decided to beat them, and they hurt these snakes and rats, and they knew they would not dare to plunder their beards.
Daxi's ships and artillery are world-famous. When Wang Bao went to the Western Ocean, he fought many pirates along the way. The merchant ships of the pirates, which were mostly robbed, were vulnerable to the warships of Daxi's navy.
Shen Qi participated in two battles against pirates with the Fuzhou Navy, which not only opened his eyes, but also made him grow up quickly.
So when Luo Huaiyuan came to Fuzhou to meet Shen Qi, he couldn't believe that the tall and strong boy with dark skin, white teeth, and Shen Xiaoer was the one in front of him.
"Why did you grow taller again? You've been so tanned, what are you doing? Could it be your brother who told you to wash your deck every day?"
Luo Huaiyuan really guessed right, Shen Qi was still a new recruit in the navy, and logically he couldn't get on the warship. He went to fight pirates several times in a row, and he was clamoring to open his eyes. Shen Xuan refused to let him go, saying that everyone on the warship had their duties and would not bring anyone who went to have fun. In order to stay up, Shen Qi found himself a deck-washing job.
But he was so tanned that it wasn't all by washing the deck. Fuzhou has a hot climate all year round. Living here all year round will inevitably get tanned, not to mention the soldiers who are trained every day.
Shen Qi scratched his head and smiled with big white teeth: "I've grown taller, are you very envious? Look at me now that I'm taller than you, why are you getting fat again, my poor sister Ayan, why? I can bear your weight."
Luo Huaiyuan touched the flesh's chin, embarrassed, "How can you learn to be slick, you dare to make fun of your sister Ayan, be careful when I go back and tell her that she will come and settle the bill with you."
It is said that the military camp is a melting pot, and no matter how honest children go in, they will be infected with a yellow accent. Due to the fact that they have not seen women for many years, I wonder if this is the case here in Fuzhou navy
Luo Huaiyuan bumped Shen Qi with his shoulder, with a wretched smile on his face, "Little Er, you've learned badly. Have you ever had a meat drive? Or brother, I'll take you out to drive a meat drive, I'm familiar with everywhere in Fuzhou city, I promise to give it to you. Find a pretty girl."
Shen Qi's face became embarrassed, and just as he was about to say something, Shen Xuan came over.
"What kind of beautiful girl are you looking for? Brother Chen, here you are."
Shen Xuan nodded slightly. He was full of awe, and he couldn't help but sigh at first sight.
He did not address Luo Huaiyuan's real surname, but instead referred to Luo Huaiyuan's pseudonym 'Chen Yun' in Fuzhou in his early years. Although the two didn't interact much, they knew the bottom line, and now they were their cousin-in-law, and Shen Xuan, who had always been quiet, rarely greeted him.
Luo Huaiyuan has never been serious, and the person he is most afraid of seeing is such a very serious person, he touched his nose and smiled and changed the subject: "It's nothing, it's just that A Yan is always worried about Shen Qi's life events, so I'll help and ask. "
Shen Xuan nodded slightly, "You continue, I still have something to do." After speaking, he left.
