Chapter 199 News about the Dragon Scale Guard and Emperor Jingshun’s attack

Not long after Feng Yibo left, Zhang Songyue also came out of Linjing Hall.

He must seize the time to discuss with other cabinet ministers the corresponding matters regarding the surrender of the East China Sea Kingdom.

Obviously, this matter has been decided.

But how to receive surrendered soil and how to award rewards, etc., still require them, the cabinet ministers, to come up with a charter.

Before the court meeting tomorrow, it must be reported to Emperor Jingshun and finalized.

This is urgent work, and the cabinet is expected to work overtime today.

As soon as the two people on the front left the Linjing Hall, Prince Zhongshun on the back was brought to give him a reply.

"Have you sorted out the news from the Dragon Scale Guard?"

As soon as the news of the founding of the Donghai Kingdom reached the capital, Prince Zhongshun began to have people sort out the relevant news.

It's a pity that this information is only seen sporadically in the Dragon Scale Guard's routine reports.

Fortunately, after all the hard work, it was not all in vain.

Prince Zhongshun listened to the question at this time and took out the volume he had prepared.

At the same time, we also started to introduce the general situation.

"The Dragon Scale Guards have no manpower overseas, and the information related to Liuqiu is collected piecemeal from daily reports from coastal state capitals."

Although the Dragon Scale Guards are all over the Wei Dynasty, compared to the capital, places like the North need to focus more attention.

There are also areas like Jiangnan where aristocratic families are everywhere.

There is little to note in the southeastern coastal areas, so not many manpower is deployed.

There is no way to talk about it overseas, and it is not within the scope of Dragon Scale Guard's attention at all.

The Longlin Guards, who are responsible for monitoring the public sentiment in the southeastern prefecture, only have a few rumors about Liuqiu among the news they routinely send back.

They were all treated as anecdotes and passed back to the capital.

"Judging from these reports, this Black Dragon King hides his true colors and never shows his true colors to others."

"Even among those who came back from Liuqiu, no one has ever seen his true face."

It is a fluke to say that the southeast coast is closely monitored by Dragon Scale Guards like Jiangnan.

I'm afraid I've already discovered that Quanzhou Wei and Liuqiu have an unusual relationship.

Not to mention knowing Feng Yibo’s identity, but at least we have a direction to pursue.

Or some unfounded rumors.

As long as you follow along, your identity will be exposed sooner or later.

However, there is no need to monitor the southeast coast, and the Dragon Scale Guards are extremely weak there.

Not to mention Feng Yibo's identity, even local officials had some violations of law and discipline.

Just be careful and don't do it blatantly.

Even the Dragon Scale Guards may not know.

This is called the mountain is high and the emperor is far away!

As big as a dragon is, there are inevitably places that its scales cannot cover.

"Everything that happens in Liuqiu is usually decided by the Black Dragon King's two women and executed by his two generals."

"These four people have a clear division of labor and each is responsible for a part."

Prince Zhongshun rarely lost his usual unruly appearance and reported with a serious face.

At this time, when it comes to Liuqiu’s management structure, it is quite detailed.

Because anyone who has made a living at sea will basically know this.

"Both of his two women live in Liuqiu Black Dragon Mansion. It is said that each of them looks like a fairy and is very capable."

This kind of news is not a secret, but no one knows it.

The Dragon Scale Guard didn't pay much attention to it at first, but because there was a woman in charge, they were told interesting stories.

This is sometimes the case, and many things that should be investigated are left unattended.

On the contrary, these gossips and anecdotes are passed on very quickly.

"The eldest house is called Heilongpo, and those in Liuqiu are respectfully called eldest grandmother. She is responsible for the civil affairs of Liuqiu."

"His governance ability is not inferior to that of the magistrates of the Wei Dynasty, and even exceeds it."

Speaking of Heilongpo's governance ability, Prince Zhongshun was inevitably a little emotional.

"Maybe because she is a woman, many things are done in detail."

"It is said that the people who live and work in peace and contentment are all thanks to her."

"The reputation of this Black Dragon Po in Liuqiu is extremely high, second only to the Black Dragon King who single-handedly created the East China Sea Kingdom."

There are countless prefectures in Wei State, and the level of governance varies greatly.

Prince Zhongshun is in charge of the Dragon Scale Guard, so he naturally knows a lot of inside information.

But precisely because of this, he could not help but feel emotional.

Because although many people are born as Jinshi, they are really not as good as women.

"The other one is called Black Phoenix. She is respected as the second grandmother there and is responsible for Liuqiu's military affairs."

"It is rumored that in less than a year, she changed her previous gentle approach and destroyed more than a dozen maritime forces in succession."

Speaking of Black Phoenix's cruel methods, Prince Zhongshun thought of something again and added:

"The Hercynian Franciscans who came to the capital to complain were killed by her men."

When Emperor Jingshun heard this, he suddenly remembered something.

When Feng Yuan went to the East China Sea as an envoy, the Hercynians who came to complain also left.

This matter was reported to the Ministry of Rites, and Emperor Jingshun felt a little strange at the time.

So there are still some impressions.

But if you look at Feng Yuan's various methods based on what I experienced during today's report.

He has obviously done everything he can to appease the East China Sea Kingdom!

Then these Hercynian Franciscans can't be...

Feng Yuan used it as a stepping stone and gave him the Black Dragon King as a meeting gift, right?

How else to explain that as soon as Feng Yuan left, these Hercynian Flemish people did not complain and disappeared?

If that's the case, Feng Yuan's calculation is quite cruel!

Emperor Jingshun was still thinking about Feng Yibo's methods, and Prince Zhongshun continued to preach:

"Coastal merchants say that it was because those Hercynian Fransiya people smuggled goods to the Wei Dynasty, which affected the interests of Liuqiu."

Thinking of the two women of the Black Dragon King, they controlled most of the power in Liuqiu.

Emperor Jingshun had some thoughts, and immediately interrupted with a frown:

"You said that this Black Dragon King allows a woman to take control, which shows that he only trusts his own people."

Having said this, Emperor Jingshun stood up from his seat.

After bypassing the imperial court, he started walking.

While pacing, he muttered:

"If I were to marry him to a princess, would it be..."

The implication is that he naturally wants royal women to try to take power.

This is inspired by Feng Yuan's "doing everything".

If you give up a princess, you can get the actual power of Donghai Kingdom.

That’s a lot of money!

However, after hearing this, Prince Zhongshun shook his head and advised:

"Brother, please be cautious about this matter. Not to mention that the Black Dragon King already has two wives, and the marriage is just a concubine. The most important thing is..."

Emperor Jingshun thought that he wanted to take the royal family's face into consideration, so he waved his hand and interrupted:

"It doesn't matter. If you offer your land and become a vassal, you will most likely be granted a royal title, or at least a county prince."

The implication is that even if she is a concubine, she is still a concubine.

Marrying a royal princess is not considered humiliating.

"Brother, please listen to what I have to say first and then make any plans."
