Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 220 The emperor’s conspiracy, the situation in the empire, Niu Jizong’s anger (5)

"fart."

Just as Feng Tang finished speaking, Niu Jizong stood up with an angry look.

"Feng Tang, how old are you now? Don't you know that you are already over 50? There are so many pirates and pirates in the coastal areas, at least hundreds of them. How much energy will it take to destroy them? How much energy do you still have to deal with them? "

"Besides, the reason you mentioned is not a reason at all. Although I, Niu Jizong, am good at land warfare, I am not bad at water warfare either."

"Furthermore, you have to know that although our Great Zhou Empire has threats from the north and the south, there has been King Antai in the south for so many years and nothing has happened. There is no need to worry at all."

"And there is also King Beijing in the north. Although there are constant frictions and mutual losses, they have not allowed those grassland people to enter the Central Plains."

"So there's no need for me on either side."

"The pirate forces along the coast are huge. Behind them are not only the people of the island country, but also the support of other people. Can you, Feng Tang, deal with these people?"

"It would be different if it were me. Who doesn't know that I, the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, have been following Taizu for many years, but have never been involved in coastal interests?"

No one knows what the final result will be.

"Although King Beijing has always guarded the entire northwest region, in recent years, although the western region has been very tightly defended, barbarians in the northern region have often invaded the border."

"So it's best for me to go for this matter. General Feng, you should stay at home."

He opened his mouth to refuse.

"I am planning to send a general to the northern region to lead an army of 30,000 people in the north to resist the barbarians in the north."

At this time, a young eunuch happened to come to inform that the envoy from the island country was coming again, so the emperor waved his hand and said.

Niu Jizong tried his best to open his mouth, but no sound came out.

King Beijing guarded the northwest border. And he was also born in the Lion King Strike, so he was sent to the north, seemingly to help King Beijing defend himself.

"If we want to deal with these Japanese pirates, we must kill all those who support them."

"General Feng will be the commander-in-chief of this quarrel. I hope you can wipe out the pirates and the forces behind them, uproot them, and restore peace along the coast of the Great Zhou Empire."

Because he knew that this was His Majesty's naked conspiracy.

"So no matter who is behind it in the coastal areas, once I find out, I can be ruthless and take action."

"My lord, I obey the order and thank you Lord for your kindness."

Even if King Beijing sincerely accepted him, the estrangement between the two of them still appeared.

"Jinyiwei will cooperate with us."

"General Niu is right. Although there are many threats to our Great Zhou Empire, they are not enough to shake the foundation of our Great Zhou Empire."

However, after General Feng Tang thanked him, he could only kneel down and say.

After saying that, he simply knelt on the ground and said to His Majesty the Emperor.

"Only in this way can these pirates and Japanese pirates not continue to threaten our Great Zhou Empire again and again."

When Niu Jizong heard this order, he was stunned and quickly knelt on the ground.

"Please allow me to lead a team to the coast to destroy Japanese pirates and pirates this time. I will definitely live up to your Majesty's hope."

"This time to eradicate Japanese pirates and pirates, the more important thing is to eradicate the existence behind them."

"But General Niu, you also have this intention, so I can't help but fulfill it."

But in reality, the situation in name only made him and King Beijing compete for power.

"So let's leave this matter to General Feng."

"Two generals, go and prepare separately. They must all leave within three days. When you arrive, let me know as soon as possible. I really hope you can protect the borders of Dazhou. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded."

"And there must be someone behind the pirates and Japanese pirates in the coastal areas. Jin Yiwei has also investigated most of them."

"This matter is settled like this, no one can object?"

But after he finished speaking, His Majesty the Emperor shook his head.

"My lord, I obey the order and thank you Lord for your kindness..."

Although what Niu Jizhong said was sonorous and powerful, what he said was also reasonable.

If he goes there, the four princes and eight princes will have unpredictable differences.

"If General Niu is allowed to go, these people will definitely destroy all the evidence and hide it in their places. It will be very difficult to catch them again."

"What General Niu just said makes sense. The person in charge of the coastal area has certain connections with General Feng. Because of this, he is better able to investigate these."

Now, he can only pray that the impact of this incident will not be too bad.

If he didn't go, he would be disobeying the decree and would definitely not end well.

"Nowadays, in addition to the threats of Japanese pirates and pirates along the coast, the most important thing in our Zhou Empire is the northern battlefield."

Everyone else was watching with eyes, nose, nose and heart, as if everything had nothing to do with them.

"And can you, Feng Tang, do this? If your old relatives and friends really come to you or someone who has contact with you, and you find out, can you be so cruel?"

"Since General Niu wants to serve the empire so much, I will make you General Zhenbei and leave everything in the north to you."

But His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand and said.

"No one else has got up to go back. Oh my God, this matter is over here. I still have to receive the envoys from the island country."

"I'm waiting to retire."

A group of people withdrew without hesitation, because they knew that they could not change what His Majesty the Emperor had already decided.

Just after coming out.

Niu Jizong thought about going to see the Supreme Emperor, but Dai Quan came just as he was notified.

"General Niu, if you come to see the Emperor now, aren't you putting the Emperor into embarrassment? Is it possible that you asked the Emperor to come out to find His Majesty, and then ask His Majesty to change the matter in the morning?"

"Do you think this kind of thing could happen? If everything had not happened before, the Supreme Emperor might still have helped you, but now that everything has settled, what do you want the Supreme Emperor to do?"

Niu Jizhong sighed, took out the two hundred taels of silver notes he carried with him from his arms and handed them to Dai Quan.

"Manager Dai, please tell the Emperor, I don't have that intention."

"Since this is your Majesty's order, I will naturally respect it. I just hope that the Supreme Emperor can say hello to King Beijing and say that I, Niu Jizhong, have no choice but to go north and have no intention of fighting for power."

Dai Quan looked at him for a long time, and finally laughed dumbly.

"General Niu, are you over 40? It seems that you are not yet 40, but you are not very old now. Why are you confused?"

"For the sake of these two hundred taels of silver, our family will also tell you the truth. His Majesty the Emperor asked you to guard the northern border, and did not ask you to fight for power."

"Do you think you can really say what you just said to the Supreme Emperor?"

"How to do some things without saying it, but you must never say it out loud. After all, everything is just done, not who said what, don't you think?"

Niu Jizong was stunned for a moment. At this time, he also realized that he was anxious just now.

His Majesty the Emperor never said that he would divide the rights of King Beijing.

He just decentralized power in this way without saying it.

If he had said it out, His Majesty the Emperor would not admit it.

Then bring this matter to the Supreme Emperor yourself. The Supreme Emperor really has no way to tell His Majesty the Emperor.

Even King Beijing couldn't speak openly.

At this moment, Niu Jizong felt extremely depressed.

But he could only grit his teeth and endure this breath, and said to Dai Quan, cupping his hands.

"Thank you, Manager Dai, for reminding me. I'll take my leave then."

This time, he is definitely going to suffer the consequences of being dumb. You think he is not in the mood to stay at all and just want to go back quickly and think about how to deal with it.

After he left, Dai Quan went back directly to report.

The Supreme Emperor also laughed dumbly after hearing his report.

"This kid is still like this, frizzy, but he does think too much."

"Although King Beijing has no chance to practice Taoism, he is the only physical cultivation left in our Great Zhou Empire, and his level is not low. This worldly martial arts master will only die if he encounters him."

"Don't say that that boy Niu Jizong is one of the four princes and eight princes. Even if he is not, that boy from King Beijing will not take him seriously."

"If you want to fight for power from that kid, I'm afraid you're overthinking it."

Having said this, the Supreme Emperor shook his head again and said. "Our Emperor is really eager to take power and cultivate his own power. He even wants to take action against King Beijing."

"It's a pity that he doesn't know that the reason why King Beijing has been able to control the northwest border is not because of how popular he is, but because of his strength."

"It's okay to let him hit the wall first. In this way, when I hand everything over to him, he will know that some people are so powerful that ordinary people cannot deal with them."

"Dai Quan, ask your men to block the expedition against the pirates. Don't let the islanders find out. Let them continue to play with our Majesty in the Shenjing City."

Dai Quan quickly bowed and agreed.

And at the same time.

When the people from the island country asked for an audience again, His Majesty the Emperor simply ignored him.

When Niu Jizong walked out of the palace, he happened to see a young eunuch speaking loudly to the envoys from the island country.

"Your Majesty said he won't see you anymore, so don't bother Your Majesty with any trivial matter."

The envoy from the island country was very anxious when he heard this.

"How can this be a trivial matter? We lost one hundred thousand taels of silver because of an official of your Zhou Empire. Is it possible that your Majesty, the Emperor of the Zhou Empire, should not be responsible for this? Shouldn't that official be punished?"

The little eunuch said very nonchalantly.

"Your Majesty, I already knew you would say this. You told me in advance and asked me to bring you a message."

"As the saying goes, if you owe money and pay back your debt, you should be willing to admit defeat. Since you are the one who wants to bet with others, you should admit your loss."

"You have lost your money, but you come to His Majesty and ask him to help you get your money back. How is this?"

"If you have the ability, win the money back. If you don't have the ability, just tell me that you heard about a gambler who lost money at the casino and still got the money back."

The envoy from the island country looked a little sad.

They thought this plan would be successful.

Whether you win money and make others angry, or you lose money and seek justice from His Majesty the Emperor, you will always see the Emperor.

But I didn't expect that I wouldn't even have the chance to meet His Majesty the Emperor at this time.

How does this make them happy?
"Your Majesty, your lord named Jia, took us to visit the capital. He took us to the casino, which cost us a hundred thousand taels of silver and let him win. I think this was his intention. So you must give us an explanation. Go and tell His Majesty."

Before he could continue, Niu Jizong, who had been watching for a while, became furious.

It's all because of these trash that I fell into His Majesty's scheme. Since you have brought yourself before me, don't blame me for taking it out on you.

So he strode over without hesitation, punched the wretched island envoy on the head, knocking him to the ground, and then said arrogantly.

"And tell His Majesty, how shameless do you think you are to say anything to His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty has already said that he is willing to admit defeat. Don't you know? He doesn't even have such a simple truth. He is worthy of being a barbarian from an island country."

"You lost the money. If you want to get it back, just find a way on your own and don't bother Your Majesty again."

"Let me tell you, if you bother Your Majesty over this trivial matter, I won't mind beating you to death."

The envoys from the island country were all stunned. The leader fell to the ground with no hope in his life, his eyes were blurred.

The group of envoys behind him were also stunned at the time. Unexpectedly, their leader was directly knocked down, and in full view of everyone.

What was even more unexpected was that the person who beat him would be so arrogant.

But when they saw that the palace guards around them were immediately preparing to protect the person after he was beaten, they knew that this person's identity was not simple.

Just when they were about to ask, the man had already spoken directly.

"You don't have to look at me like that. I can tell you clearly that I am General Niu Jizhong of Zhenbei. If you want to seek revenge from me, you can come at any time."

"But I hope today's matter will end here. Take this dead dog on the ground and get out of here. I'm in a bad mood today. If you don't get out, believe it or not, I'll beat you to death?"

The people of the island country really didn't know what to do, and the leader who fell on the ground had not yet recovered.

Fortunately, Jia Qi got out of the carriage at this time and said happily to Niu Jizong.

"General Niu is indeed mighty and domineering, but they are also envoys of the island country after all. Although the island country is not looked down upon by the general, the general has already punished them for offending him, so why not let them off this time."

Niu Jizong knew Jia Qi.

Although His Majesty was a little unhappy about him betraying the four princes and eight princes and taking refuge with the emperor.

But Niu Jizong was very happy with the high-yielding grain seeds he contributed.

Not every family has the Four Kings and Eight Dukes. The Niu family itself does not have much land, so it is happy to see the emergence of this high-yielding grain species.

Moreover, these high-yield grain seeds are indeed a merit that will last forever, which makes Niu Jizong have a lot of affection for Jia Qi.

If it hadn't been for today, he might have gone to Fanlou to drink with this kid.

But thinking that he was cheated today had something to do with this kid, so he was angry but not angry, happy but not happy.

He simply waved his hand angrily and said.

"My general is too lazy to pay attention to them. If I hadn't happened to meet them, I wouldn't even want to punch them. It would be a waste of my energy."

"Okay, you can do whatever you want, the general has to leave first."

After finishing speaking, Niu Jizhong left directly.

At this moment, Jia Qi finally received a reward from the system.

It may be because there were more people participating this time, so he actually got two rewards at once.

The first one is a full-level skill swimming proficiency.

Although he doesn't have to worry about problems in the water due to his current strength, with the mastery of swimming, he can exert one or two more levels of strength even when fighting in the water, which can be said to be a good skill.

This second reward is really interesting, it turns out to be a piece of information.

So this piece of information is also very important to the island country’s envoys.

Jia Qi put the information into the storage ring and did not check it immediately.

He stepped forward to help the leader of the island nation's envoys up, then dusted him off before speaking.

"Messenger, the general of our Zhou Dynasty just now has a hot temper. It's better not to provoke him as much as possible. Why don't we leave now?"

The envoy from the island country sighed, with a complicated look on his face.

You kid, you are not trying to get me to leave, but you are talking about my general.

What you are clearly telling me is that you have a close relationship with the general and have an irreversible friendship.

Are you threatening me?

You just don’t want to return the one hundred thousand taels of silver to me, right?
He really wanted to get his money back, but when he thought that His Majesty the Emperor didn't care and there were some generals backing this kid, he really had no choice.

Moreover, the purpose of their visit this time was to get more ordnance and more food, but secretly they really wanted to get high-yielding food seeds.

The lord in front of him was the discoverer of high-yielding grain seeds, and he must not offend him too harshly.

Maybe there is a seed hidden in this kid's hand. If he can get it, wouldn't it be a great achievement?

For the sake of the emperor and the plan, the leader of the island country's envoys could only endure this tone.

"I was impulsive just now. Both your Majesty and the general are right. If you are willing to admit defeat, I shouldn't think about getting my money back."

"Master Jia, I'm convinced of your gambling skills. That one hundred thousand taels of silver can be used to teach me a lesson."

"Please don't argue with me, Sir. From now on in this nerve city, I need you to take care of me, Lord Jue."

Jia Qi suddenly laughed.

"You see, aren't you being polite? After all, you all need me to receive you in the future. Don't worry, this matter will not have any impact on us. Next, should we go back or continue to appreciate the beauty of the divine capital of our Great Zhou Empire? ah."

The envoy from the island nation glanced at him with a smile on his face and said expressionlessly.

"Of course I want to continue to appreciate it, and I still need to trouble Sir."

"No trouble, no trouble, let's leave here first and then we can figure out where to go?"

"You're right, let's go then."

Afterwards, Jia Qi led the way, followed by a group of envoys from the island country, and left the palace gate.

After getting away, start researching where to go next?

And when their group of people disappeared, someone stood up from the corner, said a few words to the guards, and ran away in a hurry.

And the direction the man said he was heading to was exactly the direction of Rongguo Mansion on Rongning Street.
