The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 2120 Finally Going to Sea
Zhong Jian didn't speak again, and the matter was settled like this.

Zhao Dongting trusted all the ministers present, trusted their loyalty, and trusted their abilities.

He smiled, and said again: "In two days, I will set off for North America."

These words surprised everyone again, Lu Xiufu said: "So hasty?"

Zhao Dongting said: "It's better to go sooner than later. I'll go back sooner. I'll bring a few priests from Wudingtang to go, and I've already made the preparations for the outstanding army, so you don't have to worry about it."

Liu Xikuang's Jie army has been stationed in the Dongsha Islands and is also the guardian of that sea area.The official fleet of the Song court went to North America and South America, and they have always been escorted by them.

There haven't been any accidents in these years, and if you think about it, there is no accident.

Everyone just smiled wryly.

It seems that the emperor has been planning to go to North America for some time.

Two days passed quickly.

Even though it was early in the morning, Xu He, Qing Shan, Jian Shishi, and Li Yannan and Li cousins ​​arrived outside Zhao Dongting's bedroom.

This is the person from Wudingtang that Zhao Dongting intends to bring to North America.

There is of course a reason for choosing Xu He from Hongye Valley instead of Jun Tianfang.In the Wuding Hall, there must be someone who is the most trusted, and this person must be Jun Tianfang.

Anyway, Xu He was Bai Yuchan's father-in-law, and with this relationship, Zhao Dongting didn't bother to be courteous to him.Furthermore, Xu He definitely wanted to get closer to Zhao Dongting.

"emperor."

Zhao Dongting came out of the bedroom in casual clothes, and several people rushed to salute him.

Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "Let's go to Chongzheng Hall."

He said he was going to bring real gold.At this time, Zhenjin should already be waiting in Chongzheng Hall.

A group of people went outside the Chongzheng Hall.

Because the early dynasty had already been cancelled, the Chongzheng Hall was quite deserted at this time.Sure enough, Zhenjin was already waiting here, and beside him was an old man, the old eunuch Kong Yuanzhou.

Zhao Dongting was not surprised by the appearance of Kong Yuanzhou.Although the old eunuch said he voluntarily became the "guard slave" of Zangshu Pavilion, but Zhenjin had no reason not to be guarding him when he was traveling far away.

In terms of loyalty, Zhao Dongting had no choice but to admire Kong Yuanzhou from the bottom of his heart.

He wasn't nervous about it either, Kong Yuanzhou would have done it long ago if he wanted to take his life.Just living in the palace these days, there are countless opportunities.

No one can stop a fierce man like Kong Yuanzhou.

On the contrary, Xu He and the others showed some nervousness.

Although Kong Yuanzhou is like an old turtle, not showing off his mountains or leaking water, it is difficult for anyone who has seen his true strength to maintain a normal mind in front of him.

"The minister of real gold kowtows to the emperor."

Zhen Jin respects and distances Zhao Dongting as always.As for Kong Yuanzhou, his eyes were still half-closed, as if he was asleep.

"King Wen Ren is exempt."

Zhao Dongting said to Zhen Jin with a smile, and then looked at Kong Yuanzhou, "Let's go now!"

"Yes."

True Gold agrees.

Then all the people went out of the palace.

At the gate of the palace, guards had already prepared the horses.All are bloody horses brought from the grassland.

"Drive! Drive!"

There was a sound of clapping, and several riders galloped towards the east gate of Changsha City.

The horse's hooves stomped on the bluestone floor, making a loud thud.

Among the group, apart from the real gold, even brothers Li Yannan and Li Tanggui, who had the lowest cultivation bases, were already at the late stage of the Shangyuan Festival.The speed of the journey is naturally fast.

But in just a few days, several people appeared on Haojing Island.

Liu Xikuang led the soldiers of the Jie army to wait again.

There are ten large warships moored at the port of Haojing Island.

Zhao Dongting's order to Liu Xikuang was to lead two thousand outstanding troops to North America.With so many troops, it is absolutely unimpeded at sea.

On Haojing Island, Zhao Dongting and others rested for a day.

Today's Haojing Island is no longer the uninhabited island of the past. It is full of people and lively, and it is listed as the two pearls of the Song Dynasty along with Kowloon.

Although the area is far smaller than Qiongzhou Island, because of the special geographical environment, these two islands have become the largest seaport cities in Song Dynasty.

Countless voyage merchants traveling north and south to trade with Song Dynasty have to pass through here, and the tax revenue is absolutely astronomical.The imperial court collected part of it, and the rest was enough for the rapid development of the two islands.

In just a few years, the prosperity of Haojing Island and Jiulong Island can already keep pace with the developed cities in the mainland.

The next day, ten warships sailed to North America.

There are still many merchant ships of the caravan following.In fact, they also have escort ships, but of course it is much safer to follow the warships.

Zhao Dongting didn't let Liu Xikuang stop him either, these merchant ships would not pose any threat to him.

At this time, the news that the emperor went to North America for a "vacation" also spread in Song Dynasty.

This was something that couldn't be hidden, and Zhao Dongting didn't intend to hide it.

Zhong Jian supervised the country, and even if some outstanding troops went to North America, even if they didn't tell the truth, anyone with a heart could figure out that he should have gone to sea.
