Chapter 571: Let's do it, His Royal Highness

Chapter 571: Take action. Your Highness

When the news of the prince leaving was heard, the officials from Quanzhou were all relieved. With such a huge figure pressing on his head, this official was even worse than the officials. If Chen Ao left, it would be better to harm Bianjing.

However, the business people here were reluctant to leave because Chen Ao did a lot of things and gained a lot of benefits for them. They went to the Transportation Office in groups in groups to visit the Transportation Office, gave gifts, and said a few words to keep.

Chen Ao no longer believed in other people's help. When he saw someone wiping his tears, he was indifferent. He was smart for a lifetime, but he almost thought of the officials' words. How could he be fooled for the second time?

Since we are leaving, the aftermath must be done. The Nanyang Navy is a newly promoted person from Chen Ao. They urge them to practice and recruitment must also continue. When the imperial edict came, they asked who could be in Quanzhou. Chen Ao submitted a memorial to return, and recommended Wu Wencai. He also asked the court to set up the Annan Protectorate Office to govern the ports of Nanyang and Japan, control the navy, and take charge of sea and road trade.

Wu Wencai once worked in the Ministry of Rites and had experience dealing with foreigners. He was also quite brave on the North Road of Gyeonggi. Most importantly, Wu Wencai was already a recognized backbone of the Chen Ao faction recognized by the court. Although Chen Ao was still under the old party, he was more of an alliance with the old party. His own team was gradually built. Wu Wencai now followed Chen Ao's horse and asked him to be the large captain of the Annan Protectorate. It would be easier for Chen Ao to interfere on the side, so as not to be picked by others.

Now, the two major ports in the world, Quanzhou and Suhang, one with Zeng Sui'an, the other with Wu Wencai, and the other with his own support, the new policy will definitely be maintained. Chen Ao let go and chose to return to Beijing at the end of May. The navy instructor and lieutenant, as well as envoys from various countries.

Although he had already agreed with Shen Ao, he had to go to Bianjing to meet the emperor at this time, otherwise it would be unreasonable to be polite. Since Chen Ao was leaving, everyone would be willing to go with him.

On the day before leaving, the whole city of Quanzhou caused a sensation. There were a large number of gentry and businessmen waiting for Chen Ao to come over and say a goodbye.

Chen Ao deliberately kept a low profile at this time, just riding in a sedan chair and passing by with a reserved voice. He heard the sound of the prince walking outside. He already knew that an old interest group was broken by him, and a new interest group was rising. This collection of related interests, promoted by him, is growing vigorously and cannot do without his wings. When they are truly full, no one can change the new policy on the sea route. Unless you meet another one, use bloodier means to break it.

Chen Ao touched his nose in the sedan chair, thinking to himself, is there anyone more foolish than me in the world? He passed all the characters in history in his mind, and it seemed that there was really no one, so he couldn't help but admire himself, and he was stunned. As long as it was clear enough and more outstanding.

Fortunately, the wing army was protected here, so the dark and invisible person would not collide with the king. Everyone was hoping that Chen Ao would come out to see him, but in the end he was disappointed. A lieutenant yelled: "The prince has his life, and the prince has many cares in the capital. If you do business well in Quanzhou, you will be sure to ensure that you have no worries."

I was waiting for this sentence. There were too many people here, and not everyone could hear it. But when I heard it, I immediately shouted that the prince was a thousand years old. The people behind me were confused and shouted out.

No matter how Chen Ao listened to the thousand-year-old turtle, he felt that these people were suspicious of being scolded, and immediately urged the sedan chair owner: "Go away quickly, don't delay."

………………………………………………………………………………

Bianjing has been ready to move, and more than a dozen envoys from the capital have arrived one after another. Everyone is waiting and watching, waiting for the right time to have a good fight.

Chen Ao's actions in Quanzhou have already broken through the bottom line of Qingliu and rectified the maritime affairs. Many people lost their jobs overnight. Everyone recognized it by pinching their noses. But then the incident of the massacre of the city was discussed and everyone made a rough conclusion. If Chen Ao had not made any new policy, how could such a horrifying move have been made? This matter would definitely not be over.

Sure enough, the envoys of the Eighteen Franchise countries entered Beijing together, most of them wanted to seek justice. After receiving this news, everyone was excited. As long as they made a fuss, everyone would create momentum again. Not to mention defeating Chen Ao, at least the new policy on sea routes would definitely not be maintained.

There was no movement among the envoys from the foreign countries. These envoys who entered Beijing were also waiting for news from Quanzhou. Judging from Chen Ao's attitude, if Chen Ao dared not admit it or deliberately covered it up, he would have to fight to the death and make a fuss.

These envoys all lived at the Honglu Temple and dealt with Yang Lin. After hearing Chen Ao's instructions, Yang Lin did not say anything to them. He just took care of their daily life and asked them to be peaceful and peaceful.

But the others in the capital are different. In Qingliu, there are already many people who scolded Chen Ao to get to Qingming, and they suddenly become popular. The last time the Chen surnamed Chen published a few articles on Suiya Weekly, which made everyone feel like they were injected with chicken blood. The imperial court ordered officials to threaten and intimidate. It is really outrageous.

More and more people have joined the verbal war. Originally, this kind of thing was just a matter of making trouble. The superiors ignored the officials and officials from all departments and the three provinces. The big guys were reserved as big guys, so how could they make trouble with the lower guys? However, the censor Lu Lin was an exception. Lu Lin had a lot of trouble in the past few days and sent several impeachment memorials in succession. These memorials, which were as sharp as words, were all circulated. The scholars read it and shouted that they were satisfied. They copied them and took them as role models.

Lu Lin beat his head, and even clamored. A few more went to contact the foreign envoys and encouraged them to attack immediately.

Everything in the Cai family was done step by step, and they neither supported nor opposed the rumors outside. They just kept their family tight and the small concierge dared not say anything about this.

The Ding Palace is different. During these days, people who come to visit him are like crucian carp in the river. They all say that His Royal Highness is wise and wise. On the Ding Palace, all the people who visit him are blocked, but the doorman's attitude is fine, but he just said that His Royal Highness is sick and cannot meet guests. Please go back.

Early in the morning that day, Lu Lin arrived at Dingwang Mansion in a sedan chair. When he saw Lu Lin's sedan chair, he did not block the person outside step by step. He directly asked the porter to carry Lu Lin in, and asked him to fall into the sedan chair under the archway of the second door. An old eunuch came over quickly and bowed silently to Lu Lin. The two of them looked at each other, but nodded, and then went straight to the main hall one by one.

Zhao Heng's usual style has always been simple, and everyone in Bianjing knew that in the past, everyone was laughing at him, saying that he was a Qianlong who had been stuck in the water, but at this time, the Qing Dynasty changed the conversation, focusing on the Crown Prince's thrift and simple manner, with the style of Emperor Wen of Sui.

The main hall is indeed simple, with pear wood tables and chairs, which are not worth much money, and many of them are very old. The only novel one is the palace yarn wall lamp, which is a bit dazzling.

Zhao Heng was wearing a straight-collar Confucian shirt, and there was no expression on his ordinary face. He slowly drank tea. When Lu Lin came in, he didn't stand up and said anything. Lu Lin saluted Zhao Heng directly, and Zhao Heng said, "Sit."

Lu Lin bowed and sat down. Zhao Heng glanced at him and said with a smile: "This is Longyan tea, which was delivered from Fujian Road. It tastes pretty good, but the tea smells too heavy."

An eunuch there immediately brought the tea. Lu Lin tasted it briefly, chewed it for a while, and said, "What Your Highness said is that the fragrance of tea is good, but it is too strong and not beautiful. In fact, the same is true for being a human being. He is determined to show off all the limelight, and there are also worries that wood is so beautiful that the wind will destroy it. Chen Ao is in Quanzhou, and everything he does is horrifying. His Majesty went to Wansui Mountain for him, and he didn't listen to anyone's words. If he continues to mess around like this, he is afraid that something will happen."

Zhao Heng smiled faintly: "What big thing can happen? Has Lord Lu said it over?"

Lu Lin said seriously: "It is a big event for all countries to come to the court. Since Taizu surrendered to the great Song Dynasty, the countries in the South China have long admired the kindness of the Song Dynasty, and fought for the first place to come to the court, paying tribute and paying tribute every year. By now, there are already two hundred years. Our Song Dynasty is a country of benevolence and righteousness, and a country of etiquette. It is a national policy of the dynasty in history, and it is also a ancestral system and cannot be changed."

Lu Lin paused, looked at Zhao Heng's face, and continued: "The Fanbian has come again now, but this trip is not a tribute to He and the tribute. Chen Ao's various things done in Quanzhou have already squandered the court's kindness. There have been complaints on Fanbian, but now they are just holding back, but it is a big deal to make a fuss."

Zhao Henghe nodded: "What you said makes sense. If you really want to make a fuss, wouldn't my Song Dynasty really become a lonely man? Chen Ao held the Honglu Temple, how could he not even be able to tell this?"

Lu Lin owed his body and whispered: "I heard that Chen Ao is already on the way back to Beijing. It is said that he has blackmailed a lot of land in foreign countries, asking them to cede land, and saying that he wants to garrison troops."

Zhao Heng said lightly: "Is this happening?"

Lu Lin nodded.

Zhao Heng asked: "No one objected to Fanbian?"

Lu Lin licked his shriveled lips and said, "No one would object. Chen Ao held the navy and the chief minister of the Honglu Temple. He was also blessed by His Majesty and arrogant. The envoys from foreign countries dared to be angry but dared not speak out, for fear of a catastrophe."

Lu Lin continued to guess: "According to the Xiaguan's estimate, Fanbian must be reluctant to do this, but no one is willing to support them, so they can only swallow their anger." He looked at Zhao Heng deeply: "But someone has to make the decision for them, and some will look at it at that time."
