I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 319 What a terrible subjective initiative!

After friendly communication with "Box Egg".

Although the Han army and the Japanese people of this tribe could not communicate smoothly through language for a while, the hostility of these Japanese people towards the Han army seemed to have decreased a lot.

Gongsun Qing then worked with the three savages who could barely serve as translators and held discussions with the two leaders of the tribe. The two sides finally reached a consensus that the Han army would set up camp nearby, gain a foothold on the island first, and then receive subsequent troops to find a suitable location to build a seaport.

at the same time.

Gongsun Qing and other alchemists and wizards will continue to teach the tribe their language, and at the same time learn their current crude language that sounds like the calls of monkeys, in preparation for their future missionary work on the big island.

It turned out that we had just started to set up camp not long ago.

At the same time, Gongsun Qing, who led the alchemists and wizards into the tribe to further communicate with these Japanese, found Liu Ju again and reported to him with some embarrassment:
"Your Highness, when I was teaching those three short savages before, I didn't realize that these savages had no sense of shame. If they continue like this, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the end..."

"how do I say this?"

Liu Ju frowned slightly and asked curiously.

At this time, the Japanese had not yet received proper education in etiquette and morality, and their sense of shame was probably at the level of the monkeys in Mount Emei. However, even if the Japanese in later generations had received education in etiquette and morality, they only knew small etiquette but not great righteousness, and were not that strong. Therefore, Liu Ju was not surprised by this.

What he wanted to ask was, the reason why Gongsun Qing was worried about trouble was whether it was because these Japanese people had ulterior motives.

If there really are such signs, Liu Ju would not mind killing this risk in the bud.

"Just now, I led people into the tribe to learn more about the situation of these savages. Unexpectedly, these savages..."

Gongsun Qing didn't know what to say after he paused for a while, as if he was reorganizing his words, then he frowned and continued with a wry smile,

"These savages invited us into the hut and immediately tore off the women's clothes, inviting us to have sex with their women. Even the women took the initiative to come forward and flirt with us. They had no sense of shame at all."

"If most of these women were not so unkempt and dirty, I'm afraid some of them would have lost control."

"Seeing this situation, I had to order everyone to temporarily withdraw. I also asked the three savages we had previously converted, and only then did I learn that they did this because they saw that we Han people were tall and strong, so they offered the women in their tribe, hoping that we would leave behind the excellent Han people in their tribe."

"Your Highness, tell me, what is going on? This is..."

"This……"

Liu Ju burst into laughter when he heard this. This seemed to be an old tradition of the Japanese.

Not to mention the many "seedling" plans that were formulated for the Celestial Empire earlier, even in modern times, the Japanese have done similar things. After eating the "little boy" and the "fat man", they directly began to send women to the base of the Lighthouse Country in an organized manner, which included the same ideas and without any psychological burden at all.

There are also a large number of women who are proud of this, and on this basis have developed a very developed customs industry. This industry even helped Liu Ju's growth before he traveled through time.

I never thought that the "box egg" I gave out would actually have the same effect...

It seems that this traditional skill did not appear in later generations, but has been flowing in the blood of the Japanese since ancient times and has never changed.

"This matter does require attention. You will issue a ban among these wizards later, strictly prohibiting this from happening. Those who violate the order will be charged with treason."

After a brief pause, Liu Ju said to Gongsun Qing,
"Also, it's better to relieve this kind of situation than to block it. Try to spread some rumors among these sorcerers and wizards."

"One is that these short savages are full of evil spirits, and if you have sex with their women, you will be easily attacked by evil spirits. Another is that having sex with savages is like having sex with animals, and they are essentially no different from animals. It is a disgrace to your ancestors, and how can you face them in the underworld?"

"In short, this matter is in your hands. I grant you the power to deal with these sorcerers and wizards after you report to me."

"Also, from today on, you should not call yourself a slave. I just happen to be in need of a servant, so you can be the one. After I return this time, I will have someone take you out of slavery."

As he spoke, Liu Ju was secretly thankful that he had followed secretly this time, otherwise Gongsun Qing might not be able to make up his mind, and the Japanese might really get what they wanted...

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Gongsun Qing trembled upon hearing this, tears instantly filled his eyes, and he made a gesture to kneel down.

From being a slave who was not even considered a human being, he became a servant of the Crown Prince. Although this was nothing to him before, it was like soaring to the sky for him now. How could others deeply understand this feeling?

Liu Ju grabbed him and said:
"Get up, don't kneel, don't let anyone recognize me."

"promise!"

Gongsun Qing sniffed his nose quickly and wiped away the tears that were flowing out of his eyes uncontrollably, but he still couldn't help but thank Liu Ju repeatedly.

"Your Highness has been kind to me and has given me a new life. Even if I am no longer a slave, I will still be a slave in front of Your Highness. I will never change in this life. If I have any other thoughts, I will be struck by lightning!"

From a favored minister who served the gods on behalf of the emperor, to a slave who was treated like pigs and dogs, and now to a servant of the crown prince.

This roller coaster-like ups and downs of life made him cherish this opportunity more than ever. He had completely forgotten that the reason he ended up like this was actually because of Liu Ju.

If Liu Che saw this scene, he would probably sigh that this rebellious son has mastered the essence of how to rule people...

However, listening to Gongsun Qing's words, Liu Ju was thinking about another question:
He is clearly an official, but he insists on calling himself a slave. Isn't he the eunuch around Liu Che?
For example, Su Wen, the Yellow Gate Minister, and Chang Rong, the Little Yellow Gate, although these people were Liu Che's close attendants, they were also serious court officials.

Moreover, eunuchs in this era did not necessarily have to be imperial eunuchs.

In fact, there were not many eunuchs even in the palace at that time. Only a few people became eunuchs because they made mistakes and were castrated, such as the current Xielü Duwei Li Yannian and the later Grand Historian Sima Qian.

So, now there are eunuchs... Does this count as me getting closer to the throne of the emperor in advance?

Just as I was thinking this, I heard Gongsun Qing continue to say:
"Also, Your Highness, there is one more thing that I am not sure about for the moment. It is just a feeling of mine. I always feel that these short savages look at us in a strange way."

"What's so strange about it?"

Liu Ju came back to his senses and asked.

"There is always that kind of awe mixed with a bit of greed and covetousness, which makes me always suspect that if we were not accompanied by the Han army, we would be eaten alive by these short savages." Gongsun Qing tried his best to describe this feeling with accurate language.

"Don't doubt it, your feeling is right."

Liu Ju nodded.

"Tell this to Captain Tu, and remind him not to take these short savages lightly at any time. If he finds anyone showing ill intentions, he should kill them immediately with thunderous means to establish his authority!"

"After all, they have only seen how strong I am, but have not yet experienced how fierce I am. I'm sure they will be less afraid of me."

"By the way, tell Captain Tu that I like his name, Tu Fei. It's a really good name."

……

After a few hours, the sun gradually moved westward.

The Han army's camp had already been built, so resting and recuperation was not a problem. However, they still needed to cut down some more trees and build a stockade around the camp to prevent outsiders from watching and entering the camp.

However, this task can only be put off until tomorrow. The soldiers have already consumed a lot of physical strength in crossing the sea and setting up camp this day. There is no need to rush to work at night on this island that they are not familiar with.

Just as the Han army started to make a fire to prepare dinner.

Another Han army of a thousand men, accompanied by Tu Fei, arrived at the camp from the seaside at an inopportune time.

The person accompanying Tu Fei was none other than General Yang Pu of the Tower Ship.

Yang Pu was accompanied by a young man named Li Ji, the current envoy of the Li family.

"What's going on here?"

"What happened? Why is General Yang here at this time?"

Seeing this scene, the soldiers and alchemists who were waiting for dinner began to discuss curiously in a low voice. According to the original plan, even if Yang Pu wanted to come, it should be after the seaport of Hepu was almost built.

"It seems that we have been discovered long ago. Yang Pu has even found our way here."

Liu Ju was not surprised at all, and knew that there was no need to hide his identity any longer, so he stood up and took the initiative to greet him.

If we have to say what the purpose of this trip to the sea was, it was mainly to break windows.

He knew better than anyone that if he discussed this matter with Zhao Zhou, Ni Kuan, Han Shuo, Yang Pu and others, even if these people became his own people, they were doomed to disagree. The closer they were to him, the less likely they were to agree. If they were pushed to the limit, they might even exercise "soft control" over him, making his idea of ​​going out to sea even more impossible.

But now the situation is very different.

He had secretly gone out to sea, and these guys had already broken their rules. This matter could even become a handle for him to control them. Naturally, they would have no choice but to cooperate with him, and their bottom line could be lowered to a new low...

"temple……"

Yang Pu also had sharp eyes. When Liu Ju stood up, he recognized him instantly even though he was wearing linen clothes and had a large "tattoo" on his face painted with ink like those alchemists and wizards.

The next moment, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then quickly turned into sorrow. He ran forward but didn't dare to call Liu Ju in public. Instead, he made a gesture of invitation:
"...Please excuse me for a moment."

"please."

Liu Ju smiled and nodded, and took the initiative to lead Guo Zhen, who was dressed the same as him, into a newly set up tent.

Yang Pu also quickly settled down and followed Li Ji in. After the curtain was lowered, he saluted Liu Ju with a helpless smile:
"Greetings, Your Highness. How can you go out to sea without permission? This is a threat to the lives of me and others."

"What are you talking about, General Yang?"

Liu Ju still smiled.

"I did this out of trust in General Yang and the others. I thought that with Prime Minister Zhao, Internal Affairs Ni, General Han, and General Yang here, they would definitely not fail to handle even such a small matter, right?"

While speaking, Liu Ju's eyes were rolling around on Li Ji.

The four people he mentioned should not be a problem. After all, when he went out to sea, these four guys, who had committed crimes and were ordered to go to sea on his behalf, were forced to become people on the same boat with him.

The only ones he needs to worry about are Chang Rong and Li Ji, two of Liu Che's close attendants. However, these two people also have responsibilities, and it is not impossible to break through the window and attack, and other people will help him to attack together...

However, Li Ji's current condition does not seem to be very good. His face is a little pale and his expression is a little vague.

Could this guy have been seasick on the way here?
However, he listened to Liu Ju's words.

Li Ji seemed to have suddenly come back to his senses. He looked at Liu Ju with trembling eyes, a trace of obvious fear on his face. He couldn't help but asked in a trembling voice:

"Is everything as Your Highness expected?"

"What did I expect?"

Liu Ju was rather curious, and felt that Li Ji's question contained a great deal of information.

"It's...that's..."

Li Ji hesitated for a moment, but didn't dare to say it directly. In the end, he could only try to be tactful and say,
"This time, General Yang encountered a storm on the sea while he was looking for His Highness, and Emperor Chang was accidentally swept into the sea..."

"?!"

Liu Ju was stunned when he heard this and instantly realized what had happened.

Damn, what a terrible subjective initiative this is! His rival Chang Rong was “forced” to fall into the sea because of this?
