Sheng Shi Merciful Light
Chapter 341 Standing By Your Side!
Emperor Deguang was still hesitating, looked at his ninth younger brother and didn't get any prompt, so he subconsciously looked at his teacher, Prime Minister Zhao Jiu.
Zhao Jiu ran through his mind about the Sea God Army and the bearded Mei family in a flash.
Last year, Hongyi Dashi suddenly attacked Penglai Port, and the court was in a mess, because this kind of sea enemy invasion was really unheard of. Fortunately, the coast is very peaceful. The three port maritime departments set up by the court usually deal with a few tax evaders at most. .
I have never heard of people like pirates and Japanese pirates.
Of course, Zhao Jiu doesn't know anything about the sea, so he doesn't know the main reason is that there is a "Sea God" at sea, no matter which route, the lucky sea merchants will join the Hangmei family's fleet, so the fleet is huge, and there are generally ordinary people Where dare to rob?
The red-clothed food suddenly invaded, and luckily swallowed this breath, which would really damage the majesty of the great country, and it is absolutely impossible to give up the nearly ten million annual national taxes of the three seaports, but they don't know how to retaliate.Because there are so many red-clothed big food ships, it is really not easy to catch them with their sails pulled up to hide in the sea.
Having a headache, the King of Chu, as the patron saint of great luck, took all the pressure and formed the Sea God Army despite doubts.
At that time, the situation was urgent, and the king of Chu didn't ask the treasury for a penny. He wrote a bad check based on the king's golden reputation, and persuaded the Mei family to donate [-] merchant ships to transform the warships and invest manpower and material resources to fight against the enemy.
The King of Chu recommended that the imperial court appoint Linyi Bo Chai Zishi as the commander of the Sea God Army. This 67-year-old veteran has been recuperating in the Lishan Courtyard.Fortunately, there are less than [-] sailors, who were trained by General Chai. As the only general with a little bit of water warfare, he was arrested as a young man.
But everyone knew that General Chai was too old and mentally weak, and he was only invited out to sit in command, but it was not easy to win a battle.
At this time, the king of Chu once again tried his best to make an exception and appointed Mei Jiasanlang as the left general of the Sea God Army. Although the chief executives knew that he was a beard of mixed blood, they had to pinch their noses and let the emperor appoint him.Because there is indeed no one to use the great luck, and the king of Chu's reason is too good-the enemy knows the enemy best.
Yes, although Mei Rong is named "Sea God", he is not invincible in the world. He also has opponents in the sea. It is the red-clothed food with advanced navigation and lion king flags spread all over the Eastern Ocean.
Ten years ago, Daxing didn't pay much attention to maritime trade, allowing Dashi in red to control the entire Daxing East China Sea, which suppressed Daxing's local merchant ships in various ways.Mei Rong gradually rose to the top, causing Hong Yi Da Shi to be jealous and fight against him in various ways.Every route laid by Mei Rong not only relies on his wisdom and diligence, but also is full of struggle and blood.
This is also the reason why the Mei family's thousand merchant ships can be directly pulled into the battlefield by transforming the warship.Mei Rong's fleet is already equipped with naval warfare weapons, and the sailors can be regarded as half of the combatants.
Because of King Chu's succession and various support for Mei Rong, Hongyi Dashi almost lost most of the Daxing market.It just so happened that Emperor Deguang's younger brother, Anshun County Wang Muyi, contacted Hongyi Dashi in private, wanting to use troops to plot against him.
Hongyi Dashi readily agreed, but it was a pity that this touched the bottom line of King Chu.The king of Chu directly expelled Hongyi Dashi and did not allow him to enter Daxing again.
How can you be willing to take advantage of the cheap domestic silk tea and porcelain?One is for robbery, the other is for revenge, and the third is to negotiate conditions after defeating Da Xing, so they blatantly attacked Penglai Port. They wanted to suppress the arrogance of Mei Rong and the King of Chu, but who knows that Da Xing, who has always emphasized benevolence and friendship, will also show his softness Sharp fangs.
Facts have proved that the king of Chu is indeed wise. In this naval battle, Mei Rong took the lead and went through life and death. Using modified warships and kerosene bombs, he used the fleet of Hongyi Dashi on the coast of Daxing, together with what they occupied at sea, as the host. All the islands on the springboard of the Oceanic Route are settled in one pot.
Later, because Mei Rong was injured and was on the verge of death, his loyal subordinates chased and killed the remnants of the Red Clothes Dashi like crazy, and even defeated the five hundred warships that came to the aid of the Red Clothes Dashi.
This victory was very satisfying, but it was precisely because the victory was so great that it evoked some not-so-good voices—some people criticized the king of Chu for abusing kerosene bombs, which was very cruel and hurt the peace of heaven.Well, petrol bombs are indeed too cruel!The Confucian idea of "benevolence, righteousness and propriety" makes most scholars sympathize with the food in red.
As for the destroyed Penglai Port, as well as the affected civilians and maritime merchants, it is just a statistic for scholars and some court officials.They didn't see with their own eyes the unrecognizable corpses that were thrown into the sea after being tortured and swollen, and rushed back to the beach... and more innocent people who were buried in the sea and could never return to their hometowns.
At that time, when voices protesting against the cruelty of the King of Chu became the mainstream, the King of Chu was so exhausted in saving Meirong that he "fell sick and needed to recuperate", and there was no news for three full months in the Heqiu Palace.
Emperor Deguang was tired of all the attacks on his ninth brother, but he couldn't refute them, otherwise it would make people feel that he was "inhumane", and it would be the same as shaking the foundation of the country, and it would easily intensify conflicts.He has already learned the true biography of Zhao Jiu, learned how to do Tai Chi, and used a trick to blur the matter of naval warfare weapons.
Three months have passed, new topics have emerged one after another, and fewer and fewer people are bringing up old things again.
Mei Rong is also very strong. She spent three months of leisurely training in Weiqiu, and took only half a day to deal with the Mei family's private affairs when she descended the mountain. A fleet of spies in red clothes and a lot of food, and then publicized the rules that Mu Ci wanted to convey, "wars belong to wars, and civilians are not allowed to be affected", and quickly blocked the mouths of Daxing scholars and officials, letting them understand the truth. Wang's use of lethal weapons was in retaliation for Hongyi Dashi's killing of civilians in Penglai Port.
But... Emperor Deguang rubbed his painful temple, thinking that tomorrow his dragon case will be filled with impeachment memorials, protesting that the king of Chu is a... bandit!
If you win a battle, you will fight it. You actually allowed Mei Rong to rob 90 "ships" of property, and also snatched back more than [-] hectares of land, which emptied a small country even of money and land.
Although Emperor Deguang wanted to say "Okay!" in his heart, he really couldn't show ecstasy on his face - lest he look like a nouveau riche.
Hmm, the majesty of a great country!
Emperor Deguang looked dignified, saw Zhao Jiu nodded slightly, and said, "Xuan Meirong enters the hall."
The eyebrows and lawsuits between the teacher and the student could not be concealed from others, many people glared at Zhao Jiu angrily—the world is getting worse, and he actually connived at the emperor calling a half-breed beard who was born to be strangled to enter the most dignified hall of the country.
Zhao Jiu: "..." His eyesight was blurred, and he didn't see everyone's eyes.
It won't work if Xuan Meirong comes over. Although the ceremony was sung, the emperor hasn't seen the gift list and the map of the island yet.Then the national seal has to be built to confirm the new land rights to take effect.Such an important thing must be carried by General Mei, and it is impossible to give it to anyone casually.
……
Mei Rong was calm and relaxed, standing on a boat in front of the South Water Gate of the Imperial Palace, Dingding Gate.Fortunately, the water level of the inland canal soared in spring, otherwise so many boats and belongings could not have been transported to the capital, and they were given to Emperor Deguang as a gift for his 29th birthday.
After standing for a long time, the inner court issued a decree calling him to have an audience.
Mei Rong Shiran stood at the bow of the boat and entered through the main entrance of the water gate. The Imperial Forest Army wanted to scold him and let the bearded man go through the side entrance, but was stopped by his colleagues.On the boat where Mei Rong was standing, there was a king's flag with the word "Chu" on a red background, black border and white characters, waving in the wind.
Who dares to ask Chu Wangqi to go astray, isn't he courting death?
The Royal Forest Army stared at this arrogant guy, bragging and swaggering into the palace.But soon, the Imperial Forest Army's attention was focused on the three hundred congratulatory ships that entered later.
Yi Qing led Habayashi Wei to inspect the things that entered the palace carefully one by one.
These [-] boats crowded the waterway from Yuhe to the water gate of the imperial palace. Many people in Tianjing City came to watch the excitement. They saw boat after boat full of gold, silver, jewels, and unique curiosities. , It is said that all of them are the spoils captured in their lair after the defeat of Hongyi Dashi.
This inspection took a full six days, and all the people watching the excitement gradually had a question in their hearts—it is said that the red-clothed food is a maritime merchant, but how can a law-abiding maritime merchant have so much property?
As a senior traveler, King Qinghe has authoritatively judged that many treasures do not belong to the Red Clothes Dashi, but belong to other coastal countries.In addition, many of the trophies were treasures bestowed on the coastal countries by great fortune over the years.
The envoys of the coastal countries who heard the news rushed to see, and then...
Oh my god, it really is!
It turns out that the fleets that disappeared on the tribute roads of various countries over the years were not destroyed by wandering or storms, but were robbed.What kind of law-abiding businessman is Hongyi Dashi?He is a thief who becomes a businessman when he is strong, and a thief when he is weak.
For a while, those who accused the king of Chu of stealing treasures and destroying the country were silenced. .
Of course, this is something.
Let's say that Mei Rong was on the Qifeng Festival, bearing the baptism of countless gazes, maintaining a decent smile, and calmly stepped into the highest palace of the country that he had never thought of stepping into in his life.
This moment should be the most glorious moment in his life, but there is no ecstasy in Mei Rong's heart, only longing, because - my king, he is here.
All eyes were on Mei Rong.
This legendary mixed-blood beard has a tall and slender figure, deep and three-dimensional facial features, a confident and calm smile, and a pair of blue, clear electric eyes with a charming attribute. Elegant and extravagant.
If placed in modern times, it is simply a candidate for the best actor born for the entertainment industry.
It's a pity that it is a great fortune now, the Chinese nation is proud of its own blood, and it is one of the most noble races.The lucky, powerful and high-ranking officials in the main hall all thought that Mei Rong, who had tarnished her noble blood, was a rat in the gutter.
but……
How nasty!
This guy who should have been hiding in the shadows and dared not see the light, actually had the military exploits to expand the territory, and he went up to the hall majestically.In front of the noble person who represents Daxing's highest power, there is no trace of cowardice and filth, his manner is so elegant and elegant, his smile is so flying and stretched, his blue eyes are so clear and special...
The point is, it's... pretty good-looking, making people want to watch it again and again.
It's obviously a bloody beard who stains his eyes at a glance!
woohoo...
It must be this evildoer!demon!gas!
Glaring!
All kinds of scornful and hateful gazes, cold as a knife, are no longer lethal to this "Sea God" who fought desperately at sea, wandered on the edge of life and death every day in naval battles, and even "died" once.
It also made Mei Rong feel a bit of sweetness - because this "normal" gaze reminded him how different Mu Ci treated him.
The handsome king who stood on the top of the sky and looked down on all beings, when he first saw his high nose, deep eyes, and blue eyes, there was no curiosity, surprise, contempt or hatred. Peaceful and intoxicated.
as now!
Mei Rong and Mu Ci looked at each other for a second, then faced Emperor Deguang, bent their knees, and performed the highest etiquette of kneeling three times and prostrating nine times.Because his movements of kneeling and prostrating can be regarded as a model of etiquette, there is not a single mistake, and because of his inner strength and self-confidence, his movements are coherent and elegant, people are convinced by his temperament, and the innate hatred of him is greatly reduced.
After all, human beings have a common sense of beauty, and the social nature of aesthetics is absolutely no match for the beautiful lines and contours of his face, which is close to the golden section, let alone his balanced, harmonious, calm and connotative elegance.
Emperor Deguang sighed for a long time, and felt that it was not difficult to be a universally tolerant emperor to Mei Rong, who expressed "I am handsome and connotative" from the outside to the inside, and said calmly: Li, Pingshen..."
On the right side of the main hall, Mei Xian, who was enshrined as the Duke of Cheng'en because of his meritorious service in naval battles, worked hard to shrink his body and reduce his sense of existence.For fear that the emperor would associate himself with the bold third son.
As a father, he knows this son's virtue best, and he only prays that this little ancestor can stand obediently and pretend to be obedient. He must be careful that this is in front of the palace, so he should be more restrained, don't hesitate to say anything, what? Dare to do it.
Well, though something earth-shattering has been done!
But there are still people who secretly cast their eyes on Mei Xian, hating him for having a child with a bearded woman, and raising him up, and raising him so good-looking and excellent; Desperately use his military exploits to help him get promoted to a noble, but he still doesn't fight for merit.
Mei Xian was followed by his eldest son, Mei Huan, who was looking at Mei Rong with resentment, causing others to think that this young man was acting like a good-looking young man.
But at this moment, Emperor Deguang obviously didn't have the time to take care of the Mei family father and son. He was watching Mei Rong carefully, and felt that his brown hair crown made of countless small braids looked weird, and his pair of azure blue eyes flashed magically and bewitching He subconsciously asked with the most majestic voice in his life: "Are you Mei Rong?"
"The end is right!"
Immediately, a censor jumped up and said: "A bold pariah, dare to call himself a 'general'."
This person is a righteous person, he wanted to kill Mei Rong's prestige, so that this pariah would not take credit for his pride, but unexpectedly he provoked someone who shouldn't be provoked.
Mu Ci "swipe" to stand up!
Because every word and deed of the King of Chu is the focus of attention, the King of Chu is usually very indifferent and unmoved by everything, but today this reaction is a little excited... Everyone subconsciously felt a little nervous and held their breath.
It was impossible for Mu Ci to watch Mei Rong being slapped in the face in public, so naturally he could only slap her face back.He stared at Zhu Xi indifferently, and asked in a cool tone: "Private Zhu, where is the letter of appointment appointed by the imperial pen to appoint Mei Rong as General Zuo of the Sea God Army?"
The unlucky censor: "..."
Everyone in the hall: "..."
It is only now that everyone is blessed to their hearts and has grasped a key point - Mei Rong has always stood behind the King of Chu from the top to the meritorious service.Even when he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, the King of Chu spared no effort to save him at the risk of leaving Beijing without an edict.
So what if it's a mongrel beard that's as cheap as dust?
There are people above!
Sure enough, Mei Rong, who was standing in the center of the hall, looked up at the King of Chu with her head upright, and showed him a bright smile that blinded people's eyes. Her blue eyes were like cornflowers, blooming gorgeously towards the sun.
And the King of Chu...
The king of Chu, who was always expressionless, alienated and indifferent, as if isolated from the world, actually... actually showed a breathless smile to Mei Rong, like a night tree in full bloom.
Few people have seen Chu Wang smile, even the slightest smile is rare.
Emperor Deguang only saw the ninth younger brother smile as light as smoke traces a few times when he did the right thing.Only at the last moment of the first emperor's deathbed, he saw the comforting smile of the ninth younger brother that was as rotten as a spring flower and as clear as a wash.
But now this... seems to be taking root gently in the heart, spreading out a bud with sweet taste, and a smile with pink petals blooming in the eyes... This is the first time Emperor Deguang saw it.
The scenery was so beautiful and dazzling that everyone couldn't breathe and their hearts were racing.
Emperor Deguang looked at him greedily, until the ninth younger brother withdrew his smile, closed the buds, his eyes returned to calm, and glanced at him indifferently... Only then did Emperor Deguang withdraw his three souls and seven souls, and immediately knew how to ask questions.
Emperor Deguang's expression softened, his voice softened several times, and he said in the tone of "everything is easy to discuss, I will never lose my temper if you say anything": "General Mei, what is the matter with the congratulatory gift you gave this time, can you Tell me in detail?"
He doesn't call him by his first name anymore.
Mei Rong said respectfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, General Chai and the last general drove Hongyi Dashi out of the East China Sea, seized all the property he illegally robbed, and took back several small islands in the East China Sea that he illegally occupied. The Dashi is inhumane, killing all the local native leaders, and the rest of the natives are used as slaves or sold or brutally enslaved. I am lucky that the elite soldiers descended from the sky, drove away the big cannibal in red, and saved the local natives from the fire. The natives said I am willing to join Daxing, and I implore the general to express his feelings, hoping to get His Majesty's permission to become a citizen of Daxing, so as to fight against Dashi in red."
"Oh? That's what happened. Which islands are there? Do you have a detailed map?" Emperor Deguang asked, in a very good mood.Although Mei Rong didn't say a word that was flattering, why did it sound so comfortable?
Alas, even his face with high nose and deep eyes became more and more pleasing to the eye.
Mei Rong respectfully took out the map drawn on the sheepskin from her bosom, and the chief eunuch Peng Yu immediately took it, checked it briefly and presented it to the emperor.
Emperor Deguang used [-] points of patience to maintain restraint, without showing any impatience, calmly opened the sheepskin map, and saw an island chain composed of hundreds of islands drawn on the East China Sea.Across a Rizhao island country, it is vaguely encircling the Daxing East China Sea.
"This..." Even though Emperor Deguang was an ancient man who didn't have the concept of an "island chain" that stifled the development of a country's oceans, he could see something vaguely wrong because of the emperor's vision of development.He recruited the King of Chu, "Ninth Brother, come and have a look!"
Mu Ci walked over, glanced at the map, and couldn't help showing a hint of surprise on his usually calm face, raised his eyebrows slightly, and gave Mei Rong a meaningful look.
He was not surprised by Hongyi Dashi's ambition, and it is impossible for a country without ambition to develop navigation.He was only surprised by Mei Rong's vision of strategic development, if he was not sure that he was an out-and-out ancient person, Mu Ci might think that he was "traveled" from modern times.
It is indeed the overlord of the sea.
Emperor Deguang asked in a low voice: "Ninth Brother, what do you think?"
Mu Ci stretched out her green fingers, and drew a circle on the island chain that surrounded two-fifths of the coast of Daxing, saying: "This place, this sea area, must not be left to others, otherwise Daxing will be in danger."
When Emperor Deguang thought of Hongyi Dashi's ambition, he felt horrified, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.If it hadn't been for the ninth brother who insisted on a counterattack and retaliated fiercely, he would defeat and drive Hongyi Dashi away.I'm afraid it won't take a few years for the food in red to become a climate on these islands and become a big threat.
It's no wonder that when the fifth younger brother Mu Yi was looking for foreign aid, Hongyi Dashi dared to agree to rebel. It turned out that he had long been ambitious.
Thinking about it this way, Emperor Deguang originally had the intention of pretending to reject one or two things, but now he doesn't want to lose face, and he showed a sincere smile very unkindly, and said: "Since the local natives have been oppressed, If you want to join Daxing to resist the atrocities of the Red Clothes Dashi, as Daxing Shangguo, you can't ignore the pleading."
Someone immediately wanted to object.
Mu Ci didn't give people a chance to speak, took the stick and continued: "Although this place is far away and it's difficult to garrison troops, it can build a transit seaport. First, I'm lucky that the maritime merchants have a place to rest and supply; second, I can collect taxes. The endowment can be used to cover the cost of building this place; thirdly, the Sea God Army can be trained here to resist the counterattack of the red food, which saves the people of the prosperous port from being victimized again."
Everyone understands the implication. Indeed, it is best not to burn the flames of war at home.
The King of Chu spoke up, and those who wanted to object could only hold back their dissatisfaction under the indifferent gaze of the King of Chu, who scanned the audience.Even the envoy of the Rizhao Kingdom who was "made dumplings" shrank his neck.
Emperor Deguang was very straightforward, and asked Zhao Rui to draft an edict, attach a map, and stamp it with the national seal. This island chain was included in the territory of Daxing, and it was named "Dinghai Prefecture". great achievement.
Because the stuffed pie that fell out of thin air was extremely sweet, and it was easy to swallow it in one gulp, and it saved the red-clothed food and other enemies from directly threatening the mainland from the sea. Emperor Deguang was in a good mood, and the more he looked at Mei Rong It was pleasing to the eye, and asked kindly: "Mei Aiqing has made such a great contribution, what reward do you want?"
Well, the title has changed to "Ai Qing".
So, the person who was thinking about his loyal minister's remonstrance silently swallowed what he wanted to say.And everyone knew in their hearts that this great achievement was really done by Mei Rongli.There were a few people who tried their best to get General Chai to take the credit, but... the king of Chu who hated cheating and cheating others the most was in power, and he dared not even mention it.
Mei Rong smiled elegantly and said: "It is the duty of a subject to be loyal to the country, and the end is not for rewards."
This is false, but Mei Rong said it very sincerely, as if he really thought so... Well, as a person who gave three hundred ships of gold, silver and jewelry at once, maybe he really doesn't care about the emperor's three melons and two dates reward.
When Emperor Deguang heard these words, he felt extremely ironic, but he couldn't really refuse to reward them, so as not to chill the hearts of the meritorious soldiers.Just as he was planning how to reward him, he heard Mu Ci say, "What's your headache, third brother? There are rules for how to award rewards, just follow the old rules."
This was a good idea. Emperor Deguang asked the two prime ministers: "Mr. Xiang, think about the old practice, how to award the reward?"
Zhao Jiu: "..."
Wang Youlun was more honest, and immediately discussed the matter: "According to the old regulations of the Great Patriarch and the Great Emperor, whoever has the merits of opening up the territory will be conferred with a different surname to the second-rank duke according to the size of the territory."
Emperor Deguang: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Hey, 90 hectares, you can be crowned king.
But, this is a beard of mixed blood, so let's not talk about being a king, even if you are a prince... I'm afraid there will be tens of thousands of lucky and angry youths who will die, okay?
Mei Rong absolutely cannot be knighted, and Emperor Deguang looked at the ninth brother with some embarrassment.He's not stupid, so he naturally knew that the ninth brother was behind Mei Rong, and what the ninth brother said according to the old rules meant that he wanted to be a prince.
But Mu Ci never insisted, saying: "Although Mei Sanlang has made great contributions to capturing Dinghai Prefecture, he still hasn't completely eliminated the threat of the Red Clothes Dashi. As the saying goes, 'It's easier to conquer the country than it is to defend it', and it's the same principle when it comes to Dinghai Prefecture , You have to keep it firmly to be considered a real great achievement. Mei Sanlang, are you convinced by my words?"
Mei Rong smiled brightly, showing eight teeth: "Of course I am convinced."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the King of Chu was reasonable and considerate of the overall situation.
Mu Ci changed the subject: "However, you won the Dinghai Prefecture, but you can't obliterate your contribution. Since it is not easy to confer a title, I will have the cheek to ask my third brother to grant you the title of 'General Dinghai', and I will obey you as long as you are generous." It is feasible for the third rank to establish the country?" Mu Ci looked at Emperor Deguang.
Emperor Deguang thought about it, glanced at Zai Zhi, and Zai Zhi nodded.He looked at Uncle Qinghe King again, and King Qinghe nodded as well, and then he made a decision: "Just as the ninth brother said!" Officially conferring on Mei Rong as "General Dinghai", it was regarded as a supernumerary honor in the system of princes and princes.
Mei Rong has this honorary title, which means that he has been recognized by the court, and others can no longer hurt him at will in the name of mixed blood, or even kill him.
Mei Rong glanced at Mu Ci, and thanked Mu Ci with a smile.
All are happy.
Everyone thought this was the end of the dust, but they saw Mei Rong smiling and walking towards King Chu's throne step by step.
Everyone looked at him nervously...
What does this beard want?
How could the noble king of Chu be defiled by a lowly like him?
Something even more jaw-dropping happened.
The King of Chu walked down from the throne in a leisurely manner... and stretched out his hand to Mei Rong...
Mei Rong naturally reached out to hold King Chu's hand...
They held each other naturally, as if it was only right and proper, they should have held hands like this.
This historic grip overturned the three views of everyone present, and the eyeballs shattered to the ground! !Until the king of Chu pulled Mei Rong to his throne and let him sit beside him, no one came back to their senses.
The hall was extremely quiet, which made this banquet not too weird.
Mu Ci's eyes were gentle, and she asked in a low voice, "How did you think of doing this today?"
I came today in the name of presenting a gift, although the effect is good, it can smash "Dinghai Prefecture" in the presence of envoys from various countries.It's a festival again, and some people don't dare to spoil the fun if they want to oppose it. It's a good time.
But Mei Rong pushed herself to the forefront. Even an ordinary Chinese general who has made such great contributions has to bear the risk of being "the master of great merit". Although there is a big reward, there are endless troubles.Mei Rong is even more a beard who has been treated unfairly because of her blood, so the danger will only be higher.
It's not that Mei Rong is ignorant of the risks, that's why she didn't disclose this to Mu Ci, fearing that he would stop her.
However, he didn't do it for any reward. He stared at Mu Ci with scorching eyes, put his figure gently into the blue pupils of the sea, put it in his heart, and said affectionately: "I didn't do this for credit, no In order to gain someone's approval, I just want...to stand uprightly! Stand by your side!"
I don't want to hide behind your back, be protected by you all the time, and let you "pocket" me.
Mu Ci tightly clenched Mei Rong's still rough hand, once again, a beautiful flower bloomed in her heart, and a gorgeous smile burst out.
Only for Mei Rong.
Zhao Jiu ran through his mind about the Sea God Army and the bearded Mei family in a flash.
Last year, Hongyi Dashi suddenly attacked Penglai Port, and the court was in a mess, because this kind of sea enemy invasion was really unheard of. Fortunately, the coast is very peaceful. The three port maritime departments set up by the court usually deal with a few tax evaders at most. .
I have never heard of people like pirates and Japanese pirates.
Of course, Zhao Jiu doesn't know anything about the sea, so he doesn't know the main reason is that there is a "Sea God" at sea, no matter which route, the lucky sea merchants will join the Hangmei family's fleet, so the fleet is huge, and there are generally ordinary people Where dare to rob?
The red-clothed food suddenly invaded, and luckily swallowed this breath, which would really damage the majesty of the great country, and it is absolutely impossible to give up the nearly ten million annual national taxes of the three seaports, but they don't know how to retaliate.Because there are so many red-clothed big food ships, it is really not easy to catch them with their sails pulled up to hide in the sea.
Having a headache, the King of Chu, as the patron saint of great luck, took all the pressure and formed the Sea God Army despite doubts.
At that time, the situation was urgent, and the king of Chu didn't ask the treasury for a penny. He wrote a bad check based on the king's golden reputation, and persuaded the Mei family to donate [-] merchant ships to transform the warships and invest manpower and material resources to fight against the enemy.
The King of Chu recommended that the imperial court appoint Linyi Bo Chai Zishi as the commander of the Sea God Army. This 67-year-old veteran has been recuperating in the Lishan Courtyard.Fortunately, there are less than [-] sailors, who were trained by General Chai. As the only general with a little bit of water warfare, he was arrested as a young man.
But everyone knew that General Chai was too old and mentally weak, and he was only invited out to sit in command, but it was not easy to win a battle.
At this time, the king of Chu once again tried his best to make an exception and appointed Mei Jiasanlang as the left general of the Sea God Army. Although the chief executives knew that he was a beard of mixed blood, they had to pinch their noses and let the emperor appoint him.Because there is indeed no one to use the great luck, and the king of Chu's reason is too good-the enemy knows the enemy best.
Yes, although Mei Rong is named "Sea God", he is not invincible in the world. He also has opponents in the sea. It is the red-clothed food with advanced navigation and lion king flags spread all over the Eastern Ocean.
Ten years ago, Daxing didn't pay much attention to maritime trade, allowing Dashi in red to control the entire Daxing East China Sea, which suppressed Daxing's local merchant ships in various ways.Mei Rong gradually rose to the top, causing Hong Yi Da Shi to be jealous and fight against him in various ways.Every route laid by Mei Rong not only relies on his wisdom and diligence, but also is full of struggle and blood.
This is also the reason why the Mei family's thousand merchant ships can be directly pulled into the battlefield by transforming the warship.Mei Rong's fleet is already equipped with naval warfare weapons, and the sailors can be regarded as half of the combatants.
Because of King Chu's succession and various support for Mei Rong, Hongyi Dashi almost lost most of the Daxing market.It just so happened that Emperor Deguang's younger brother, Anshun County Wang Muyi, contacted Hongyi Dashi in private, wanting to use troops to plot against him.
Hongyi Dashi readily agreed, but it was a pity that this touched the bottom line of King Chu.The king of Chu directly expelled Hongyi Dashi and did not allow him to enter Daxing again.
How can you be willing to take advantage of the cheap domestic silk tea and porcelain?One is for robbery, the other is for revenge, and the third is to negotiate conditions after defeating Da Xing, so they blatantly attacked Penglai Port. They wanted to suppress the arrogance of Mei Rong and the King of Chu, but who knows that Da Xing, who has always emphasized benevolence and friendship, will also show his softness Sharp fangs.
Facts have proved that the king of Chu is indeed wise. In this naval battle, Mei Rong took the lead and went through life and death. Using modified warships and kerosene bombs, he used the fleet of Hongyi Dashi on the coast of Daxing, together with what they occupied at sea, as the host. All the islands on the springboard of the Oceanic Route are settled in one pot.
Later, because Mei Rong was injured and was on the verge of death, his loyal subordinates chased and killed the remnants of the Red Clothes Dashi like crazy, and even defeated the five hundred warships that came to the aid of the Red Clothes Dashi.
This victory was very satisfying, but it was precisely because the victory was so great that it evoked some not-so-good voices—some people criticized the king of Chu for abusing kerosene bombs, which was very cruel and hurt the peace of heaven.Well, petrol bombs are indeed too cruel!The Confucian idea of "benevolence, righteousness and propriety" makes most scholars sympathize with the food in red.
As for the destroyed Penglai Port, as well as the affected civilians and maritime merchants, it is just a statistic for scholars and some court officials.They didn't see with their own eyes the unrecognizable corpses that were thrown into the sea after being tortured and swollen, and rushed back to the beach... and more innocent people who were buried in the sea and could never return to their hometowns.
At that time, when voices protesting against the cruelty of the King of Chu became the mainstream, the King of Chu was so exhausted in saving Meirong that he "fell sick and needed to recuperate", and there was no news for three full months in the Heqiu Palace.
Emperor Deguang was tired of all the attacks on his ninth brother, but he couldn't refute them, otherwise it would make people feel that he was "inhumane", and it would be the same as shaking the foundation of the country, and it would easily intensify conflicts.He has already learned the true biography of Zhao Jiu, learned how to do Tai Chi, and used a trick to blur the matter of naval warfare weapons.
Three months have passed, new topics have emerged one after another, and fewer and fewer people are bringing up old things again.
Mei Rong is also very strong. She spent three months of leisurely training in Weiqiu, and took only half a day to deal with the Mei family's private affairs when she descended the mountain. A fleet of spies in red clothes and a lot of food, and then publicized the rules that Mu Ci wanted to convey, "wars belong to wars, and civilians are not allowed to be affected", and quickly blocked the mouths of Daxing scholars and officials, letting them understand the truth. Wang's use of lethal weapons was in retaliation for Hongyi Dashi's killing of civilians in Penglai Port.
But... Emperor Deguang rubbed his painful temple, thinking that tomorrow his dragon case will be filled with impeachment memorials, protesting that the king of Chu is a... bandit!
If you win a battle, you will fight it. You actually allowed Mei Rong to rob 90 "ships" of property, and also snatched back more than [-] hectares of land, which emptied a small country even of money and land.
Although Emperor Deguang wanted to say "Okay!" in his heart, he really couldn't show ecstasy on his face - lest he look like a nouveau riche.
Hmm, the majesty of a great country!
Emperor Deguang looked dignified, saw Zhao Jiu nodded slightly, and said, "Xuan Meirong enters the hall."
The eyebrows and lawsuits between the teacher and the student could not be concealed from others, many people glared at Zhao Jiu angrily—the world is getting worse, and he actually connived at the emperor calling a half-breed beard who was born to be strangled to enter the most dignified hall of the country.
Zhao Jiu: "..." His eyesight was blurred, and he didn't see everyone's eyes.
It won't work if Xuan Meirong comes over. Although the ceremony was sung, the emperor hasn't seen the gift list and the map of the island yet.Then the national seal has to be built to confirm the new land rights to take effect.Such an important thing must be carried by General Mei, and it is impossible to give it to anyone casually.
……
Mei Rong was calm and relaxed, standing on a boat in front of the South Water Gate of the Imperial Palace, Dingding Gate.Fortunately, the water level of the inland canal soared in spring, otherwise so many boats and belongings could not have been transported to the capital, and they were given to Emperor Deguang as a gift for his 29th birthday.
After standing for a long time, the inner court issued a decree calling him to have an audience.
Mei Rong Shiran stood at the bow of the boat and entered through the main entrance of the water gate. The Imperial Forest Army wanted to scold him and let the bearded man go through the side entrance, but was stopped by his colleagues.On the boat where Mei Rong was standing, there was a king's flag with the word "Chu" on a red background, black border and white characters, waving in the wind.
Who dares to ask Chu Wangqi to go astray, isn't he courting death?
The Royal Forest Army stared at this arrogant guy, bragging and swaggering into the palace.But soon, the Imperial Forest Army's attention was focused on the three hundred congratulatory ships that entered later.
Yi Qing led Habayashi Wei to inspect the things that entered the palace carefully one by one.
These [-] boats crowded the waterway from Yuhe to the water gate of the imperial palace. Many people in Tianjing City came to watch the excitement. They saw boat after boat full of gold, silver, jewels, and unique curiosities. , It is said that all of them are the spoils captured in their lair after the defeat of Hongyi Dashi.
This inspection took a full six days, and all the people watching the excitement gradually had a question in their hearts—it is said that the red-clothed food is a maritime merchant, but how can a law-abiding maritime merchant have so much property?
As a senior traveler, King Qinghe has authoritatively judged that many treasures do not belong to the Red Clothes Dashi, but belong to other coastal countries.In addition, many of the trophies were treasures bestowed on the coastal countries by great fortune over the years.
The envoys of the coastal countries who heard the news rushed to see, and then...
Oh my god, it really is!
It turns out that the fleets that disappeared on the tribute roads of various countries over the years were not destroyed by wandering or storms, but were robbed.What kind of law-abiding businessman is Hongyi Dashi?He is a thief who becomes a businessman when he is strong, and a thief when he is weak.
For a while, those who accused the king of Chu of stealing treasures and destroying the country were silenced. .
Of course, this is something.
Let's say that Mei Rong was on the Qifeng Festival, bearing the baptism of countless gazes, maintaining a decent smile, and calmly stepped into the highest palace of the country that he had never thought of stepping into in his life.
This moment should be the most glorious moment in his life, but there is no ecstasy in Mei Rong's heart, only longing, because - my king, he is here.
All eyes were on Mei Rong.
This legendary mixed-blood beard has a tall and slender figure, deep and three-dimensional facial features, a confident and calm smile, and a pair of blue, clear electric eyes with a charming attribute. Elegant and extravagant.
If placed in modern times, it is simply a candidate for the best actor born for the entertainment industry.
It's a pity that it is a great fortune now, the Chinese nation is proud of its own blood, and it is one of the most noble races.The lucky, powerful and high-ranking officials in the main hall all thought that Mei Rong, who had tarnished her noble blood, was a rat in the gutter.
but……
How nasty!
This guy who should have been hiding in the shadows and dared not see the light, actually had the military exploits to expand the territory, and he went up to the hall majestically.In front of the noble person who represents Daxing's highest power, there is no trace of cowardice and filth, his manner is so elegant and elegant, his smile is so flying and stretched, his blue eyes are so clear and special...
The point is, it's... pretty good-looking, making people want to watch it again and again.
It's obviously a bloody beard who stains his eyes at a glance!
woohoo...
It must be this evildoer!demon!gas!
Glaring!
All kinds of scornful and hateful gazes, cold as a knife, are no longer lethal to this "Sea God" who fought desperately at sea, wandered on the edge of life and death every day in naval battles, and even "died" once.
It also made Mei Rong feel a bit of sweetness - because this "normal" gaze reminded him how different Mu Ci treated him.
The handsome king who stood on the top of the sky and looked down on all beings, when he first saw his high nose, deep eyes, and blue eyes, there was no curiosity, surprise, contempt or hatred. Peaceful and intoxicated.
as now!
Mei Rong and Mu Ci looked at each other for a second, then faced Emperor Deguang, bent their knees, and performed the highest etiquette of kneeling three times and prostrating nine times.Because his movements of kneeling and prostrating can be regarded as a model of etiquette, there is not a single mistake, and because of his inner strength and self-confidence, his movements are coherent and elegant, people are convinced by his temperament, and the innate hatred of him is greatly reduced.
After all, human beings have a common sense of beauty, and the social nature of aesthetics is absolutely no match for the beautiful lines and contours of his face, which is close to the golden section, let alone his balanced, harmonious, calm and connotative elegance.
Emperor Deguang sighed for a long time, and felt that it was not difficult to be a universally tolerant emperor to Mei Rong, who expressed "I am handsome and connotative" from the outside to the inside, and said calmly: Li, Pingshen..."
On the right side of the main hall, Mei Xian, who was enshrined as the Duke of Cheng'en because of his meritorious service in naval battles, worked hard to shrink his body and reduce his sense of existence.For fear that the emperor would associate himself with the bold third son.
As a father, he knows this son's virtue best, and he only prays that this little ancestor can stand obediently and pretend to be obedient. He must be careful that this is in front of the palace, so he should be more restrained, don't hesitate to say anything, what? Dare to do it.
Well, though something earth-shattering has been done!
But there are still people who secretly cast their eyes on Mei Xian, hating him for having a child with a bearded woman, and raising him up, and raising him so good-looking and excellent; Desperately use his military exploits to help him get promoted to a noble, but he still doesn't fight for merit.
Mei Xian was followed by his eldest son, Mei Huan, who was looking at Mei Rong with resentment, causing others to think that this young man was acting like a good-looking young man.
But at this moment, Emperor Deguang obviously didn't have the time to take care of the Mei family father and son. He was watching Mei Rong carefully, and felt that his brown hair crown made of countless small braids looked weird, and his pair of azure blue eyes flashed magically and bewitching He subconsciously asked with the most majestic voice in his life: "Are you Mei Rong?"
"The end is right!"
Immediately, a censor jumped up and said: "A bold pariah, dare to call himself a 'general'."
This person is a righteous person, he wanted to kill Mei Rong's prestige, so that this pariah would not take credit for his pride, but unexpectedly he provoked someone who shouldn't be provoked.
Mu Ci "swipe" to stand up!
Because every word and deed of the King of Chu is the focus of attention, the King of Chu is usually very indifferent and unmoved by everything, but today this reaction is a little excited... Everyone subconsciously felt a little nervous and held their breath.
It was impossible for Mu Ci to watch Mei Rong being slapped in the face in public, so naturally he could only slap her face back.He stared at Zhu Xi indifferently, and asked in a cool tone: "Private Zhu, where is the letter of appointment appointed by the imperial pen to appoint Mei Rong as General Zuo of the Sea God Army?"
The unlucky censor: "..."
Everyone in the hall: "..."
It is only now that everyone is blessed to their hearts and has grasped a key point - Mei Rong has always stood behind the King of Chu from the top to the meritorious service.Even when he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, the King of Chu spared no effort to save him at the risk of leaving Beijing without an edict.
So what if it's a mongrel beard that's as cheap as dust?
There are people above!
Sure enough, Mei Rong, who was standing in the center of the hall, looked up at the King of Chu with her head upright, and showed him a bright smile that blinded people's eyes. Her blue eyes were like cornflowers, blooming gorgeously towards the sun.
And the King of Chu...
The king of Chu, who was always expressionless, alienated and indifferent, as if isolated from the world, actually... actually showed a breathless smile to Mei Rong, like a night tree in full bloom.
Few people have seen Chu Wang smile, even the slightest smile is rare.
Emperor Deguang only saw the ninth younger brother smile as light as smoke traces a few times when he did the right thing.Only at the last moment of the first emperor's deathbed, he saw the comforting smile of the ninth younger brother that was as rotten as a spring flower and as clear as a wash.
But now this... seems to be taking root gently in the heart, spreading out a bud with sweet taste, and a smile with pink petals blooming in the eyes... This is the first time Emperor Deguang saw it.
The scenery was so beautiful and dazzling that everyone couldn't breathe and their hearts were racing.
Emperor Deguang looked at him greedily, until the ninth younger brother withdrew his smile, closed the buds, his eyes returned to calm, and glanced at him indifferently... Only then did Emperor Deguang withdraw his three souls and seven souls, and immediately knew how to ask questions.
Emperor Deguang's expression softened, his voice softened several times, and he said in the tone of "everything is easy to discuss, I will never lose my temper if you say anything": "General Mei, what is the matter with the congratulatory gift you gave this time, can you Tell me in detail?"
He doesn't call him by his first name anymore.
Mei Rong said respectfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, General Chai and the last general drove Hongyi Dashi out of the East China Sea, seized all the property he illegally robbed, and took back several small islands in the East China Sea that he illegally occupied. The Dashi is inhumane, killing all the local native leaders, and the rest of the natives are used as slaves or sold or brutally enslaved. I am lucky that the elite soldiers descended from the sky, drove away the big cannibal in red, and saved the local natives from the fire. The natives said I am willing to join Daxing, and I implore the general to express his feelings, hoping to get His Majesty's permission to become a citizen of Daxing, so as to fight against Dashi in red."
"Oh? That's what happened. Which islands are there? Do you have a detailed map?" Emperor Deguang asked, in a very good mood.Although Mei Rong didn't say a word that was flattering, why did it sound so comfortable?
Alas, even his face with high nose and deep eyes became more and more pleasing to the eye.
Mei Rong respectfully took out the map drawn on the sheepskin from her bosom, and the chief eunuch Peng Yu immediately took it, checked it briefly and presented it to the emperor.
Emperor Deguang used [-] points of patience to maintain restraint, without showing any impatience, calmly opened the sheepskin map, and saw an island chain composed of hundreds of islands drawn on the East China Sea.Across a Rizhao island country, it is vaguely encircling the Daxing East China Sea.
"This..." Even though Emperor Deguang was an ancient man who didn't have the concept of an "island chain" that stifled the development of a country's oceans, he could see something vaguely wrong because of the emperor's vision of development.He recruited the King of Chu, "Ninth Brother, come and have a look!"
Mu Ci walked over, glanced at the map, and couldn't help showing a hint of surprise on his usually calm face, raised his eyebrows slightly, and gave Mei Rong a meaningful look.
He was not surprised by Hongyi Dashi's ambition, and it is impossible for a country without ambition to develop navigation.He was only surprised by Mei Rong's vision of strategic development, if he was not sure that he was an out-and-out ancient person, Mu Ci might think that he was "traveled" from modern times.
It is indeed the overlord of the sea.
Emperor Deguang asked in a low voice: "Ninth Brother, what do you think?"
Mu Ci stretched out her green fingers, and drew a circle on the island chain that surrounded two-fifths of the coast of Daxing, saying: "This place, this sea area, must not be left to others, otherwise Daxing will be in danger."
When Emperor Deguang thought of Hongyi Dashi's ambition, he felt horrified, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.If it hadn't been for the ninth brother who insisted on a counterattack and retaliated fiercely, he would defeat and drive Hongyi Dashi away.I'm afraid it won't take a few years for the food in red to become a climate on these islands and become a big threat.
It's no wonder that when the fifth younger brother Mu Yi was looking for foreign aid, Hongyi Dashi dared to agree to rebel. It turned out that he had long been ambitious.
Thinking about it this way, Emperor Deguang originally had the intention of pretending to reject one or two things, but now he doesn't want to lose face, and he showed a sincere smile very unkindly, and said: "Since the local natives have been oppressed, If you want to join Daxing to resist the atrocities of the Red Clothes Dashi, as Daxing Shangguo, you can't ignore the pleading."
Someone immediately wanted to object.
Mu Ci didn't give people a chance to speak, took the stick and continued: "Although this place is far away and it's difficult to garrison troops, it can build a transit seaport. First, I'm lucky that the maritime merchants have a place to rest and supply; second, I can collect taxes. The endowment can be used to cover the cost of building this place; thirdly, the Sea God Army can be trained here to resist the counterattack of the red food, which saves the people of the prosperous port from being victimized again."
Everyone understands the implication. Indeed, it is best not to burn the flames of war at home.
The King of Chu spoke up, and those who wanted to object could only hold back their dissatisfaction under the indifferent gaze of the King of Chu, who scanned the audience.Even the envoy of the Rizhao Kingdom who was "made dumplings" shrank his neck.
Emperor Deguang was very straightforward, and asked Zhao Rui to draft an edict, attach a map, and stamp it with the national seal. This island chain was included in the territory of Daxing, and it was named "Dinghai Prefecture". great achievement.
Because the stuffed pie that fell out of thin air was extremely sweet, and it was easy to swallow it in one gulp, and it saved the red-clothed food and other enemies from directly threatening the mainland from the sea. Emperor Deguang was in a good mood, and the more he looked at Mei Rong It was pleasing to the eye, and asked kindly: "Mei Aiqing has made such a great contribution, what reward do you want?"
Well, the title has changed to "Ai Qing".
So, the person who was thinking about his loyal minister's remonstrance silently swallowed what he wanted to say.And everyone knew in their hearts that this great achievement was really done by Mei Rongli.There were a few people who tried their best to get General Chai to take the credit, but... the king of Chu who hated cheating and cheating others the most was in power, and he dared not even mention it.
Mei Rong smiled elegantly and said: "It is the duty of a subject to be loyal to the country, and the end is not for rewards."
This is false, but Mei Rong said it very sincerely, as if he really thought so... Well, as a person who gave three hundred ships of gold, silver and jewelry at once, maybe he really doesn't care about the emperor's three melons and two dates reward.
When Emperor Deguang heard these words, he felt extremely ironic, but he couldn't really refuse to reward them, so as not to chill the hearts of the meritorious soldiers.Just as he was planning how to reward him, he heard Mu Ci say, "What's your headache, third brother? There are rules for how to award rewards, just follow the old rules."
This was a good idea. Emperor Deguang asked the two prime ministers: "Mr. Xiang, think about the old practice, how to award the reward?"
Zhao Jiu: "..."
Wang Youlun was more honest, and immediately discussed the matter: "According to the old regulations of the Great Patriarch and the Great Emperor, whoever has the merits of opening up the territory will be conferred with a different surname to the second-rank duke according to the size of the territory."
Emperor Deguang: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Hey, 90 hectares, you can be crowned king.
But, this is a beard of mixed blood, so let's not talk about being a king, even if you are a prince... I'm afraid there will be tens of thousands of lucky and angry youths who will die, okay?
Mei Rong absolutely cannot be knighted, and Emperor Deguang looked at the ninth brother with some embarrassment.He's not stupid, so he naturally knew that the ninth brother was behind Mei Rong, and what the ninth brother said according to the old rules meant that he wanted to be a prince.
But Mu Ci never insisted, saying: "Although Mei Sanlang has made great contributions to capturing Dinghai Prefecture, he still hasn't completely eliminated the threat of the Red Clothes Dashi. As the saying goes, 'It's easier to conquer the country than it is to defend it', and it's the same principle when it comes to Dinghai Prefecture , You have to keep it firmly to be considered a real great achievement. Mei Sanlang, are you convinced by my words?"
Mei Rong smiled brightly, showing eight teeth: "Of course I am convinced."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the King of Chu was reasonable and considerate of the overall situation.
Mu Ci changed the subject: "However, you won the Dinghai Prefecture, but you can't obliterate your contribution. Since it is not easy to confer a title, I will have the cheek to ask my third brother to grant you the title of 'General Dinghai', and I will obey you as long as you are generous." It is feasible for the third rank to establish the country?" Mu Ci looked at Emperor Deguang.
Emperor Deguang thought about it, glanced at Zai Zhi, and Zai Zhi nodded.He looked at Uncle Qinghe King again, and King Qinghe nodded as well, and then he made a decision: "Just as the ninth brother said!" Officially conferring on Mei Rong as "General Dinghai", it was regarded as a supernumerary honor in the system of princes and princes.
Mei Rong has this honorary title, which means that he has been recognized by the court, and others can no longer hurt him at will in the name of mixed blood, or even kill him.
Mei Rong glanced at Mu Ci, and thanked Mu Ci with a smile.
All are happy.
Everyone thought this was the end of the dust, but they saw Mei Rong smiling and walking towards King Chu's throne step by step.
Everyone looked at him nervously...
What does this beard want?
How could the noble king of Chu be defiled by a lowly like him?
Something even more jaw-dropping happened.
The King of Chu walked down from the throne in a leisurely manner... and stretched out his hand to Mei Rong...
Mei Rong naturally reached out to hold King Chu's hand...
They held each other naturally, as if it was only right and proper, they should have held hands like this.
This historic grip overturned the three views of everyone present, and the eyeballs shattered to the ground! !Until the king of Chu pulled Mei Rong to his throne and let him sit beside him, no one came back to their senses.
The hall was extremely quiet, which made this banquet not too weird.
Mu Ci's eyes were gentle, and she asked in a low voice, "How did you think of doing this today?"
I came today in the name of presenting a gift, although the effect is good, it can smash "Dinghai Prefecture" in the presence of envoys from various countries.It's a festival again, and some people don't dare to spoil the fun if they want to oppose it. It's a good time.
But Mei Rong pushed herself to the forefront. Even an ordinary Chinese general who has made such great contributions has to bear the risk of being "the master of great merit". Although there is a big reward, there are endless troubles.Mei Rong is even more a beard who has been treated unfairly because of her blood, so the danger will only be higher.
It's not that Mei Rong is ignorant of the risks, that's why she didn't disclose this to Mu Ci, fearing that he would stop her.
However, he didn't do it for any reward. He stared at Mu Ci with scorching eyes, put his figure gently into the blue pupils of the sea, put it in his heart, and said affectionately: "I didn't do this for credit, no In order to gain someone's approval, I just want...to stand uprightly! Stand by your side!"
I don't want to hide behind your back, be protected by you all the time, and let you "pocket" me.
Mu Ci tightly clenched Mei Rong's still rough hand, once again, a beautiful flower bloomed in her heart, and a gorgeous smile burst out.
Only for Mei Rong.
