Chapter 187 My daughter seems to be going further and further astray
Lu Yanshi felt helpless listening to his daughter's voice.
How come this kid has so many ideas?
What if a little kid like her follows them quietly and something happens?
"In that case, let's do as you say and kill them." Lu Yanshi made the decision.
"Your Majesty is wise." Qu Fufeng said this sincerely.
He really did follow the right leader!
"But how can we convince the other ministers?" Qu Fufeng frowned slightly.
"Just let them know that those people are not of our race and are stubborn and unrepentant." Lu Yanshi didn't take this matter to heart at all.
No one can stop him from doing what he is determined to do.
"Pack up your belongings, we will set out to look for Jing'er the day after tomorrow." Lu Yanshi also wanted to see the empire he had built.
Let’s start with the islands of Japan.
No, those islands of Japan are the territory of Great Xia from now on.
"Then I will wait for your good news." Qu Fufeng was very excited. He immediately went home to pack his bags and prepared to follow the emperor to fight the Japanese.
"Father, I want to go too!" Lu Li became excited when he heard this.
"That depends on whether you're well behaved." Lu Yanshi raised his eyebrows and looked at his daughter.
"I'm a good boy, the best boy. I will never hold Yuanbanban and then come to you to hold me. I will wash myself thoroughly before coming!" Lu Li swore with her little hand raised.
Lu Yanshi's face turned black.
He was wondering why there were sometimes those tiny little hairs stuck on his body.
"I won't break your inkstone either." Lu Li said weakly.
Lu Yanshi: ...
Okay, okay, he then asked why his favorite inkstone was missing.
When asked, Lu Li said that she liked to take it away, and it turned out that it was broken.
"Father~Emperor~" Lu Li pulled his sleeve and acted coquettishly, secretly watching him out of the corner of her eye to see if he was angry or not.
"You are the best and love Xiaojiu the most. You will definitely take me with you, right?"
"Whether your father can set out or not is one thing, and why take you with him. We have to convince those ministers." Lu Yanshi deliberately gave his daughter a difficult question.
[It's not that difficult. I will chop up the ancestral graves of those who disagree. Let their ancestors convince them through dreams.]
Lu Li muttered secretly in her heart.
Lu Yanshi's face turned even darker.
It seems my daughter is going further and further astray.
It’s all Helian Qian’s fault!
…
Sure enough, the next day when Lu Yanshi proposed in the court to go and see in person the islanders discovered by the eldest prince, all the ministers stood up and firmly opposed it.
"Your Majesty, Daxia has just been unified. It is too dangerous for you to go out at this time."
Lu Yanshi thought to himself, he has Lu Li, his precious daughter, so who can hurt him?
But he couldn't say it because he had to save face.
So he found an excuse: "The unification of Great Xia is what the people want, and no one will come to harm me. Besides, the iron cavalry guards around me are not vegetarians either."
"But if you leave, who will govern the country?"
"The crown prince has not yet been appointed."
The ministers found new reasons.
"The Empress and Consort Shu will jointly govern the country. There is no need to rush to appoint a crown prince. I am still young." Lu Yanshi glanced at the court officials, his eyes full of intimidation.
"How can a woman be allowed to govern the country?" The court officials took a deep breath.
"If you're dissatisfied, go and tell Concubine Shu." Lu Yanshi spoke slowly.
Court officials: ...
They are not tired of living, nor are they stupid enough to go to the powerful Concubine Shu and tell her that women cannot govern a country? They will probably be smashed into pieces by a punch.
"Okay, the matter is settled. During the period when the Empress and Concubine Shu are in charge of the country, if anyone dares to commit a crime of rebellion, they will be directly charged with treason." Lu Yanshi made the decision and gave the two of them great power.
Both the Empress and Consort Shu were startled.
The emperor did not even discuss such a big matter with them and just rushed to launch the project.
"Your Majesty, can I do it?" The Queen was a little uneasy.
"Don't you manage the harem well? The court is just a larger harem. I know the empress's ability. There will be no problem for you and Concubine Shu to work together to supervise the country." Lu Yanshi patted her shoulder and comforted her.
Compared with those ministers, he felt that the Queen and Consort Shu were more trustworthy.
Of course, he didn't have no backup plans.
He divided the military power between his two daughters and Meng Shanchuan. If the empress and the concubine made any unusual moves, they could also withdraw from the capital and wait for him to return.
Besides, as long as Xiao Jiu is by his side, he is not afraid of anything. Anyone who disobeys will be struck by lightning!
And Qu Fufeng also went with him. They had the formula of the bomb, so it would be easy for them to suppress the rebellion when they came back.
With these two killer weapons in hand, the world is his.
By the way, during the time he is away, he can also see who are the human beings and who are the ghosts in the court.
When he comes back, he will kill all those who have dissenting ideas.
That was settled.
Lu Yanshi decided to take Lu Li and Qu Fufeng with him, along with five thousand elite soldiers.
He also brought along the Grand Tutor who was the most fond of singing a different tune.
After all, the Grand Tutor has worked hard and made great contributions. If he is dismissed at will, it will definitely hurt his feelings.
It would be better to take him along and let him see with his own eyes how stubborn those Japanese are.
Then he will know how correct their choice was to keep the island instead of the people.
"Your Majesty, I am old and there is no need for me to go." The Grand Tutor had never thought that he would have to go out to sea, and his whole face was filled with resistance.
"Master, you are joking. You can protect three women at night. You are still strong as ever." Lu Yanshi lowered his voice and stared at him with a smile.
The Master's face suddenly became full of excitement.
"Besides, I feel at ease knowing that the Grand Tutor is accompanying me on the journey. After all, you are the one who guides me in exercising imperial power." Lu Yanshi's smile became more and more brilliant.
Grand Tutor: ...
On the road?
Your Majesty, why did you have to say this in such a frightening way?
"Yes, Master, it's a good thing that you are by the emperor's side and can give more suggestions." A young official didn't understand the situation and made a serious suggestion.
"Yes, Master Taifu, we feel much more at ease with you here."
Other officials agreed with Lu Yanshi's decision.
The emperor is too stubborn, and the tutor is here to persuade him. The emperor should give the tutor some face.
The Grand Tutor couldn't persuade Lu Yanshi, so he had to go with him in the end.
Upon learning that Lu Li was going to sea with their father, the younger ones came to see her off.
"Can I buy things on the ship with gold?" Lu Linlang asked worriedly.
She quietly put a gold necklace on Lu Li, with more than ten small silver peanuts hanging on the necklace.
"Xiaojiu, if you accidentally get lost from your father, this gold will be enough for them to send you back."
"If you buy food, use this silver peanut. Remember?"
Lu Linlang instructed.
"Thank you, Seventh Sister! I've remembered everything!" Lu Li was very happy. Seventh Sister was still reliable.
Lu Yanshi watched from the side with envy.
"Xiao Qi, didn't you prepare anything for your father?"
