The founding of the Black Dragon's country and its surrender came with a generous dowry!

There was even a dowry that Emperor Jingshun couldn't refuse.

That is, reputation!

Rebellion and recruitment are really internal conflicts.

But to offer one's land and surrender is to expand one's territory!

What's more, this kind of donation of soil is a sign of surrender.

That was a sign of the dynasty at its peak!

Just like in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, foreign tribes continued to join.

Although this East China Sea Kingdom, to the Wei Dynasty.

Not really an alien.

Some of the annexed lands were originally from the Wei Dynasty, and the rest were overseas enclaves.

But the meaning of surrender alone to Emperor Jingshun was far beyond the land he dedicated!

Because, from Taizu of the Great Wei Dynasty to him.

This is the first time that we have the possibility to expand our territory!

How should Emperor Jingshun, the most reputable emperor, refuse such a thing that is so far away from his ancestors?

Even though he knew clearly in his heart, the Wei Dynasty was far behind the prosperous Tang Dynasty!

Although the Wei Dynasty was considered powerful, its population and territory were no worse than those of the Tang Dynasty.

But, let’s talk about national power.

But it’s too far off!

Although the country is not in decline, it cannot be said to be prosperous in any aspect.

In terms of government administration, it is extremely corrupt.

Don't talk about selling your official position and getting a title, but the party fights continue.

Economically, the treasury is empty.

Otherwise, there would be no opening for donations.

In terms of culture, there is no achievement.

Even a great Confucian like Li Shouzhong had no academic achievements.

Externally, we can barely maintain it.

Although the north can suppress foreign tribes, there are only a dozen vassals that pay tribute year after year.

Compared with the imperial court of all nations in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it is not even a fraction.

From these four aspects, let alone the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Even when Taizu first founded the country, he was stronger than he is now.

Of course, this is not Emperor Jingshun’s fault.

It was a hidden danger left over from the time of his father, Emperor Tiantai.

Just like the original vassal state of Luzon.

If Feng Yibo hadn't taken it back, it would have become the territory of the Hercybanians.

Now there are requests from overseas countries to include it. How can you ask Emperor Jingshun, who has the best reputation, to refuse?

"Your Majesty, I think it's better not to jump to conclusions lightly."

Zhang Songyue could understand Emperor Jingshun's mood, but one of his duties was to dissuade him at this time.

"It's better to meet Feng Yuan first and ask about the specific situation."

When Emperor Jingshun heard this, he remembered Feng Yibo from Shang Shu, and immediately nodded and praised:

"After all, the teacher is mature and prudent, and I am a little impatient."

Over the years I have kept my mood and anger indistinct, but just now I have lost my temper.

In fact, this incident made Emperor Jingshun ecstatic.

What he just showed was not as good as the Eleven in his heart!

After sending someone to summon Feng Yibo, Emperor Jingshun still held back his disapproval and said:

"This Feng Yuan is truly a blessed general. If this is true, I will definitely be promoted above him!"

Super promotion means leapfrog promotion.

Feng Yibo skipped two levels in a row before reaching the current fifth level.

Emperor Jingshun said that if he was promoted to a higher level, he should at least go one level higher.

In other words, if there are no setbacks, Feng Yibo can at least reach the fourth level this time!

A twenty-year-old official of the fourth rank!

Looking at history, it may not be anything,

After all, there was Gan Luo who was the high minister at the age of twelve, and no one could surpass him.

But at the age of twenty, he was the first official of the fourth rank in the Wei Dynasty!

Feng Yibo knew the urgency of the matter and handed in the memorial without any delay.

After that, I was not in a hurry to go home, but closed my eyes and rested in the ministry.

The old god is here, waiting for the call from the palace.

Less than half an hour later, someone from the palace came over.

Feng Yibo followed him to Linjing Hall, and as soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly saluted:

"Greetings to the Holy One, hello to the teacher!"

"waived!"

For the first time, Emperor Jingshun's foreign minister barely showed a hint of urgency and said directly:

"Feng Aiqing will quickly tell you about the trip to the East China Sea. How did the Black Dragon King decide to join?"

"Your Majesty, I am going to the East China Sea, just in time to catch up with the Black Dragon King's expedition to the east and west."

Feng Yibo had naturally prepared his speech a long time ago, and after hearing the words, he began to talk slowly.

"He is originally a citizen of our great Wei Dynasty. By chance, he started a career overseas."

He didn't elaborate on his background because those were not important.

The important thing is...

"But his heart has always been towards the Wei Dynasty. Even though he was a strongman, he has never been stained with the blood of the people of the Wei Dynasty."

Although this is an exaggeration, the reputation of Black Dragon Mansion is indeed such.

If it is said to be stained with blood, it must be from the people of the Wei Dynasty.

Otherwise, if the Zhen family and others have collusion with the Japanese pirates, they will definitely not accept it.

"I also inquired locally, and they all said that he made his fortune by fighting Japanese pirates, and he also led the people of the Wei Dynasty to build a career in Liuli."

This can be regarded as paving the way for an origin.

He started his career by fighting against Japanese pirates, and then became an immigrant overseas.

It's definitely not clean, but it's still considered innocent.

"The attacks on Xiaoliuqiu and Luzon were all for the sake of the people of Wei."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Songyue frowned and asked:

"How can Xiaoliuqiu be considered a citizen of the Wei Dynasty?"

Xiaoliuqiu is a vassal of the Wei Dynasty, but it is not considered a territory of the Wei Dynasty.

Of course Feng Yibo knew about this, but he was naturally prepared.

"There are thirty-six Han surnames in Xiaoliuqiu, all of whom are descendants of our Chinese people. Tens of thousands were massacred by the Japanese this time, and only twenty-four surnames remain."

Although he is not from the Wei Dynasty, he is of the same origin and race as the Wei Dynasty, and even has the same surname.

This is because the teacher has a reputation, and I agree with what he said about fighting injustice.

"Not to mention Luzon, where the original kingdom had already fallen to the Spanish hands."

There is no need for Zhang Songyue to ask anymore, Feng Yibo will buy one and get one free.

He also talked about Luzon.

"Later, this group of Westerners united with the local natives to massacre tens of thousands of immigrants from the Wei Dynasty."
