Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1134 Set up another prince
After returning from the Privy Council, Luo Cheng thought about it for a long time, and finally sent someone to Donglai to pass the word of mouth, and transferred the Royal Bohai Merchant Fleet to carry out a secret mission.

In the name of transporting merchants and goods to Silla for trade, more than [-] treasure ships and dozens of other ships were assembled, and a total of more than [-] sea-going ships headed to Silla.

But in fact, this merchant fleet will be accompanied by [-] royal merchant marine guards in the name of guards.This is the strength of two entire regiments, all of which were abolished by the entire regiment of the previous imperial army.

The emperor also had his own considerations for transferring the Royal Bohai Merchant Fleet instead of the North Sea Navy of the imperial court.First of all, although the North Sea Navy of the imperial court has certain strengths, it is mainly responsible for protecting the northern Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea and other coastal cities and villages, trade routes, etc. They have patrol missions and cannot be easily transferred from afar.

But the merchant fleet is different. They are called the Royal Bohai Merchant Fleet, and they mainly run the northern Bohai Sea to North Korea. The north of the Yangtze River Estuary and the coastline of Daeqin in Andong Seoul are all their routes, even It also traded with Baekje, Silla, Wa, and the Mohe tribes farther east.

The Bohai Merchant Fleet has many ships and many guards, and they are more familiar with the coast of Baekje Silla Wa country.

Even sending them out is not considered a formal transfer of troops by the imperial court. The procedures are simpler and more convenient, and it is more convenient to stop for supplies in Silla, and it does not cause fear like sending an official army to land in Silla.

Queen Shan came over with a bowl of ginseng chicken soup.

The stewed chicken is very fragrant. There are no hormone chickens or quick-cooked chickens these days. Chickens are naturally free-range. They mainly eat bugs and weeds. They eat less food. Such chickens are more fragrant when stewed. .

"This summer, you stew such a big chicken for me to eat, and you also add ginseng, it's too nourishing, and it's easy to get angry."

"This is Silla ginseng, and it's served with the guinea fowl tributed by Silla. It must be delicious." Mrs. Shan brought the soup to Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng smiled, "Silla's ginseng is not the best. The best ginseng is Shangdang ginseng, followed by Liaodong ginseng. The ginseng from Yalu River is also good. The Baishan ginseng tribute from Baishan Mohe is also better than Silla ginseng."

"Is Silla ginseng bad? The concubine thought that the saint thought everything in Silla was good!"

There was a tinge of vinegar in those words.

Luo Cheng tilted his head and looked at the queen. Sure enough, his face was not very happy today.

"Is it because Princess Silla is going to enter the palace?"

"No way, newcomers are always added to your majesty's palace anyway. In the first month, a Tubo princess came in, and then in May, another Shiguo Sogdian princess came. Now in August, another Silla princess came. It will take about three months. Adding a newcomer, I'm used to it."

Luo Cheng reached out and took Binbin into his arms.

"Actually, no matter what, they are no match for you."

"A concubine is not a princess, but an ordinary civilian girl. How can she be more noble than the princesses?"

"Binbin, as the old saying goes, clothes are not as good as new ones, but people are not as good as old ones. As the emperor, there are indeed many newcomers in the palace, but you should understand that many of them are just for political needs. Before they enter the palace, I don't even know what they are like, and even some people come, and I can't even communicate with her."

"No matter how young, beautiful or noble they are, in my eyes, they are inferior to you. We are a poor couple, sharing weal and woe. Back then you did not dislike me, Luo Cheng, and resolutely married me, a poor soldier. I was fighting abroad , you serve your parents-in-law and raise your children at home, how can I forget these things. Even when the Sui Dynasty was in chaos and there were bandits and bandits, you would personally go into battle and kill thieves to protect the family. I will never forget these things."

Shan Binbin, who was still very angry at first, immediately calmed down when he heard the emperor's deep voice, and even felt warm in his heart.

"It's good that the sage still remembers these things. He thinks that now he despises my humble origins, and I'm not as beautiful and noble as the newcomers."

"No matter how noble they come from? How can you compare to you? You are the queen of Daqin, the mother of the world. Their dignity is only given by their parents, but your dignity is because of your wisdom. This country earned it, and my country also has your share of the credit."

Shan Binbin couldn't help but shed tears after hearing this.

"Stop talking, I'm almost moved to death when I hear it. Even if what you said is not true, I feel very happy after hearing it."

"Fool, how could I lie to you."

"Your Majesty, will you always treat me well?"

"of course."

"Ten years later, 20 years later, when I am old and fading?"

"Then you are also my queen. When you get old, don't I get old too?"

As he spoke, Luo Cheng took the queen's hand, pulled her to his side, pulled her into his arms, and bowed his head to kiss her.

The queen's face was blushing, and she really felt like she was going to faint.

"Ah Lang, I know that Jiawen is not very smart, he is not as good as Dalang Changqing, and even more so is Zhewei, the king of Liao born by the Li family!"

"Ah Lang, I'm so worried. I'm afraid that one day you despise me, and even Jiawen will hate me. I'm afraid that you will change Changqing or Zhewei as the crown prince."

"What are you thinking nonsense, the crown prince is the crown prince of a country, how can he be easily abolished? Besides, even if Jiawen is not very smart, he is not stupid either. On the contrary, he is also very loyal, which is actually a very good quality. People are too smart, sometimes it's not all good things. Jia Wen worked very hard to be the crown prince and didn't make any big mistakes, how could I appoint another crown prince."

"Really, Alang, if you like Li so much, you are afraid that one day you will love Wu Jiwu and make another Li's son the crown prince. If there is such a day, I only hope that Alang can remember the old love and give us love." My mother and I also leave a way to survive, and draw a fief in the frontier, so that our mother and I can live on our own."

Luo Cheng shook his head.

"You, think wildly. I love Mrs. Li, but I also love you, and you are the queen, so I love and respect you. As for Jiawen, Changqing, Zhewei and other children, all of them are my flesh and blood. I love them all, but they were born in the Tian family, so I know their position very well, even if I dote on them, I won't abolish them and establish another one, disrupting the order."

Shan Binbin felt relieved after hearing this.

She struggled to sit up, wiping away the tears streaming from her eyes.

"Your Majesty, drink this chicken soup while it's hot. You've been working hard day and night recently, and your health can't break down."

"I'm fine."

"You can't be careless. You said it was fine before, but you suddenly fell ill during the Western Expedition last year. At that time, it scared us to death. We need to make up for it."

Luo Cheng looked at the delicious chicken, "Let's eat together."

Shan Binbin smiled.
