The Invincible Sixth Prince

Yun Li, the Crown Prince Regent, still has a lot of face.

After cashing in the gifts he received at his wedding, he earned nearly three million taels of silver.

Of course, not all of this was sent by officials at all levels and wealthy people in the imperial city. Some of it was Yangjin's dowry, including rewards from Empress Xu and Emperor Wen.

The three million taels of silver were divided into three parts by Yun Li.

One million and a half taels of it were deposited into the national treasury, and Xu Shifu was ordered to use it exclusively for building warships.

Another one million taels of silver were deposited into Emperor Wen’s inner treasury.

Finally, the 500,000 silver coins were deposited into the treasury of the Prince’s Mansion.

"I am guilty of a crime. I shouldn't sell the things that my father and mother gave me."

Yun Li lowered his head, looking uneasy.

"Just sell it! What's the crime or not?"

Emperor Wen shook his head slightly and sighed, "If there is anyone guilty, it is me! I did not manage Daqian well and left you with such a mess..."

"Father, what are you talking about!"

Yun Li hurriedly comforted him: "Under the rule of the emperor, the country of Daqian is also peaceful and prosperous. If it weren't for the constant wars in recent years, the treasury would definitely be much fuller than in previous dynasties!"

"Don't flatter me. Today's Daqian is still far from the prosperity of the previous dynasty!" Emperor Wen shook his head and smiled, "I will ask the inner court to send the one million taels of silver to the national treasury! Use it to supervise the construction of warships!"

Yun Li was overjoyed, but he waved his hands repeatedly: "Father, you must not do that! I know that the inner court has been running out of money for a long time. Father has even sold a lot of palace artifacts to raise money for my sixth brother and Jia Yao's wedding! This one million taels of silver is a gift from me to honor you."

It is certainly a good thing that Emperor Wen can take out this one million taels of silver.

However, the play that needs to be performed still needs to be performed.

"It's enough that you have this filial piety."

Emperor Wen shook his head and said, "I also know that the court's finances are very tight because of the warship construction. I can't help you with anything, so how can I take this one million taels of silver? This matter is settled."

Seeing Emperor Wen's insistence, Yun Li decided to withdraw his thoughts and said, "Thank you, Father, for your understanding."

"Ugh……"

Emperor Wen suddenly let out a long sigh.

Yun Li was puzzled, "Why is Father sighing?"

Emperor Wen was silent for a while, then sighed softly: "Third brother, I am telling you something from the bottom of my heart, please don't blame me."

"Father, please speak."

Yun Li was even more confused.

Everything was going fine, why is Father sighing?

"You, like your father, are good at governing a country, but not at fighting a war."

Emperor Wen looked gloomy. "To tell you the truth, the reason why I agreed to let you spend so much money to expand the navy is actually to leave a way out for you and your brothers..."

The way out?

Yun Li's face changed.

The navy is their fallback?

After a moment of silence, Yun Li asked tentatively, "Father, what you are thinking is that if my sixth brother rebels and the imperial court is no match for him, you will let me and my brothers flee overseas to save our lives?"

"Correct!"

Emperor Wen nodded gently: "You also know that the rebellious son has never been defeated since he led the army to Shuobei! Even if the court trains a million soldiers, I am worried that the court will not be a match for the rebellious son. It is better to have a way out than for all of you to die under the butcher knife of the rebellious son..."

Speaking of this matter, Emperor Wen couldn't stop sighing and looked worried.

Looking at the unrelieved worry on Emperor Wen's face, Yun Li also felt a little worried.

But, I feel a little dissatisfied.

Yun Zheng is a good fighter, and everyone in the court knows this.

Now, the entire north has been conquered by Yun Zheng.

He didn't have much objection to the fact that the imperial court was no match for Yun Zheng now.

But he still felt a little unwilling to accept the fact that even with a million soldiers under his command he could not defeat Yun Zheng.

Yun Zheng is not a god!

As long as you are not a god, nothing is invincible!

Yun Li was silent for a moment, then he vowed, "If Sixth Brother really comes to the Imperial City, I will never run away! I am willing to live and die with Daqian, and would rather die than be a stray dog!"

"you……"

Emperor Wen glared at him unhappily, wanting to reprimand him, but he sighed again, "When I see you now, it's like seeing myself before the defeat of Shuobei."

"I was also very ambitious at that time, thinking that an army of 500,000 could easily defeat Beihuan."

"In the end, didn't it end in a great defeat?"

"Whether it's to defend against that rebellious son or to leave a way out, since you've decided to train a navy, then do it well!"

"Don't be afraid to spend money. If you don't have enough money, I will sell all the items in the palace!"

"I've been dreaming about my elder brother recently. I don't want to experience the pain of seeing someone die before me again in my lifetime..."

Hearing Emperor Wen's sigh, Yun Li couldn't help but be slightly moved.

It can be seen that father is really old!

There is no longer the strength and ambition that there used to be.

Perhaps, the previous inspection had destroyed my father's morale?

Yun Li sighed silently in his heart, and then said: "Don't worry, father, I will personally take care of the navy's affairs!"

"Ok!"

Emperor Wen nodded gently, "Okay, go and do your own thing first! By the way, you still have to take care of your own family affairs! If you are a regent prince and can't even handle your family affairs, won't you be laughed at by these ministers?"

"Yes!"

Yun Li quickly agreed and stood up to salute: "Your son will take his leave first."

Emperor Wen waved his hand gently.

After Yun Li left, he quickly returned to the Prince's Mansion and went straight to Gu Lianyue's yard.

"Everyone stand down!"

As soon as Yun Li entered the yard, he dismissed all the servants.

Gu Lianyue had a bad feeling in her heart, and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on her face, "Your Highness, what's wrong? Why..."

Snapped!

Before Gu Lianyue could finish her words, Yun Li slapped her to the ground.

Gu Lianyue felt extremely aggrieved, and her tears immediately fell like beads from a broken string.

"You still dare to cry?"

Yun Li's face was filled with anger. "It was just a small matter, but you went to complain to the Queen Mother, and your father heard it?"

Gu Lianyue burst into tears and argued, "I didn't complain. I just went to complain to my mother, but I didn't expect that His Majesty would come to see my mother..."

"It's not okay to complain!"

Yun Li was too lazy to worry about whether she was complaining or grumbling, and angrily said, "You are a princess consort, and you don't even understand the principle of not airing family disgrace in public?"

Gu Lianyue got up and knelt down, crying, "I know I was wrong..."

Yun Li wanted to kick him, but thinking of Emperor Wen’s words, he held back.

After taking a few deep breaths, Yun Li suppressed his anger and said with a dark face: "Now that Xiqu has established its own country, Yangjin is the Princess of Xiqu!"

"Am I favoring her? I am giving face to Xiqu, do you understand?"

"You are the Crown Princess and the future mother of a country. If you can't even understand this, how can you lead the harem in the future?"

Now Yun Li has also learned to make big promises.

The Gu family still has great value, and it would be inappropriate for him to destroy Gu Lianyue now.

He secretly made up his mind that once he had all the power, he would definitely get rid of this jealous woman!

With such a jealous woman around, the harem will never be peaceful!

"I know I was wrong, I will never do it again..."

Gu Lianyue cried and ate the cake that Yun Li drew...
