    Emperor Qianyuan snorted: "Where did you rescue Prince Nan'an?"

    "Reporting to Your Majesty, Wei Chen followed the merchant ships of the imperial court and finally found information about the Prince of Nan'an County and Prince Ying. Because the Japanese pirates would often transfer hostages, Wei Chen had no time to report, so he had to rush to the rescue. As a result, Wei Chen arrived late. According to reports,  The Prince of Nan'an County said that Wei Chen left about half an hour late."

    Emperor Qianyuan suddenly stared at Jia Lian and said coldly: "Do you dare to swear? That you did not let them go on purpose?"

    Jia Lian knelt down and swore: "I swear, I never let them go on purpose!"

    What he has been thinking about is to kill their father and son and dump their bodies!

    Emperor Qianyuan stared at Jia Lian with his cold eyes for a long time, and realized that he didn't look like he was lying. Then he raised his hand and said, "Get up. Don't kneel down all the time."

    Jia Lian thanked him and stood up.

    Emperor Qianyuan said again: "I want you to go to the sea area to negotiate with the Japanese pirates again, and ask them to hand over Prince Ying, his son and Prince Zhongshun at the same time. Otherwise, we will fight to the end."

    Jia Lian said: "Wei Chen has a duty. However, Wei Chen actually understands the thoughts of some Japanese pirates in the sea area. These people's dream is that the imperial court can reopen the shipping department. It is estimated that even if they spend one million taels, they will not let them go.  So, now we have two ways to go. One way is no peace talks and a bloody fight to the end. In this way, the hostages will die. The second way is to keep the hostages and let them hand over the traitor King Zhongshun, we must reopen the market.  Fangsi, let the Ryukyu people, Franji people, and Fuso Japanese pirates pay tribute every year. Otherwise, the humble ministers will have no choice but to return without success, so it¡¯s okay not to go!"

    Emperor Qianyuan looked gloomy and stared at Jia Lian: "Reopen the City Fangsi? Do you know what you are talking about? The Emperor personally abolished the City Fangsi, but you persuaded me to reopen the City Fangsi. You allowed me to disobey the late emperor.  ?¡±

    Jia Lian said: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. The minister is talking about the conditions of the Japanese pirates. If you cannot agree to this condition, the peace talks will be empty talk. It is better to go to war directly."

    Emperor Qianyuan snorted coldly: "Didn't the Japanese pirates not mention the terms for peace talks yet? How did you know?"

    Jia Lian said: "Wei Chen has been dressing up as a businessman or even a pirate from last winter to August this year, patrolling the coasts of Fujian and Zhejiang. Wei Chen learned all this from the Japanese pirates. If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask  The prince of Nan'an County, the Japanese pirates and pirates who are entrenched along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang are all seeking wealth. They are not interested in our territory and are only interested in gold and silver. This is because they are unwilling to occupy the city and usually just plunder.  one of the reasons."

    Emperor Qianyuan frowned: "Since they are asking for money, why arrest them?"

    Jia Lian said: "Two purposes. Those who have money at home extort money, just like the British prince and his son. Those who have no money at home are sold to foreign countries as slaves. I heard that there is a slave market in the Franji country, and they pull people in  In the market, you can be picked like cattle.¡±

    Emperor Qianyuan was silent for a long time after hearing this.

    The eldest prince broke into a cold sweat when he heard Jia Lian talking about reopening the market. When he returned to Kyoto, he also mentioned this matter, but was slapped by Emperor Qianyuan.

    The eldest prince is very afraid that Jia Lian will offend Emperor Qianyuan. In the eyes of the eldest prince, Jia Lian is capable and upright. He is a man of uprightness and must not get into trouble.  He was about to intervene when he saw that Emperor Qianyuan suddenly softened his expression and waved his hand tiredly: "Go ahead and order the Punishment Department to escort Prince Nan'an into the palace. I will talk to you tomorrow."

    The eldest prince was about to flee with Jia Lian, but was left behind by Emperor Qianyuan.

    Jia Lian said goodbye and exited the Yangxin Hall.

    After leaving the palace gate, he saw Uncle Zhang and Prince Xi looking at him from a distance in front of Xihua Gate.

    Jia Lian hurriedly stepped forward to salute and say hello.

    Prince Xi looked at Jia Lian all over and said, "Fortunately, he didn't get beaten!"

    Jia Lian looked confused.

    Uncle Zhang said with a smile: "After the eldest prince returned to Beijing, he mentioned the fake Japanese and the re-opening of the City Boat Division, and was slapped in the face by His Majesty. It was the Emperor who ordered the deposing of the City Boat Division. The Emperor had just passed away, and His Majesty was sad. Now that he mentioned this  Things are out of season."

    Jia Lian still doesn¡¯t think too hard: ¡°Does the beating of the eldest prince have anything to do with me? Why must I be beaten?¡±

    Prince Xi smiled and said: "Do you dare to say that the eldest prince's proposal to reopen the market was not taught by you?"

    Jia Lian spread his hands and said: "This is really a huge injustice. The eldest prince is presiding over the interrogation of the fake Japanese, and I am just recording it."

    Prince Xi raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing it.

    Jia Lian added: "Of course, every time I go out for investigation, I will definitely report to the eldest prince. However, I can swear that I have never instigated the eldest prince. If I really instigated him, I will not mention it again. Otherwise, wouldn't it be wrong?  Let Your Majesty misunderstand that the eldest prince and I are in the same party.bsp;Toffee Nan'an begged: "Please let me know."

    Zhen Zhen said: "The Queen Mother already knew that the prince had returned to Beijing. She heard that Prince Ying and the Crown Prince did not come back together. She cried again and finally fell asleep. Concubine, please go back. The prince has returned to Beijing. Ying  The prince and his son are still in the hands of the Japanese pirates!"

    The concubine stared at Zhen Zhen¡¯s old face with hatred in her heart. She was just an old girl, and she dared to shame herself, but she didn¡¯t dare to act wildly, so she had to leave the palace bitterly.

    The Queen Mother was not actually asleep. She had been restless for several days and nights.

    The Queen Mother looked at Zhen Zhen and sighed: "You are over sixty this year, right?"

    Zhen Zhen smiled and said: "This slave has already eaten for sixty-three years."

    The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Well, that year I gave birth to the emperor, and the Jin Dynasty nobles were able to have a dowry girl. The Zhen family sent you here for a full fifty years. At that time, you had two small buns on your hair.  You seem to be happy. I chose you just because you had a clean smile and made people feel comfortable. I originally planned to arrange a good marriage for you when you were twenty years old, but who knew that you said that the marriage was arranged at home?  Later, I was heartbroken by a young scholar, and my friendship was cut off from then on. Otherwise, you would have had many descendants."

    Zhen Zhen said with a smile: "I live a comfortable life with the Queen Mother, and I have less worries and anger than those who have many children and grandchildren. I will be loved by the Queen Mother for a lifetime, and I will not lose anything."

    The Queen Mother nodded and looked at Su Ju again: "You girl have helped my old lady for more than ten years. Is it twenty-five this year? It's time to leave the palace."

    Hearing this, Su Ju knelt down and kowtowed: "The slave was half-dead of illness that year, but was sold to someone else for a secret marriage and buried alive. It was the Queen Mother who passed by and rescued the slave. The slave is willing to serve the Queen Mother for the rest of her life."

    The Queen Mother shook her head: "You silly girl, you are still young, you don't know how long your life is, and you are very lonely without a companion."

    Su Ju said: "I don't want to get married. If my direct bloodline makes such calculations, I don't dare to think about what others will do."

    The Queen Mother reached out and touched Su Ju¡¯s head and heart: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will arrange everything for you.¡±

    Suju immediately cried: "Empress Dowager, don't think too much. The best doctors in the world and the most precious medicinal materials are all in the palace. You will be fine."

    But the Queen Mother shook her head: "Seventy-three or eighty-four, the King of Hell didn't ask me to go. I am seventy-three this year, and I have lived enough."

    That day, when dinner was over, the Queen Mother suddenly heard that Prince Ying was actually getting involved with the Japanese pirates. Emperor Qianyuan had ordered the peace talks to be canceled and a bloody battle to be fought to the end.  There is no intention to redeem the prince and his son.

    The Queen Mother's condition suddenly worsened, and she was coughing up blood.

    Emperor Qianyuan dragged his sick body to visit the Queen Mother.  The Queen Mother used her last strength to ask: "Do you hate him so much? One million silver, one sentence, but you would rather your brother die?"

    Emperor Qianyuan knelt upright in front of the Queen Mother and said: "Does the Queen Mother know that when he left the capital, he secretly established a relationship with the Xu family, but the Xu family was the spies left in the capital by King Zhongshun? My queen, father-in-law, and younger brother,  Join forces to deceive me. Mother, these things are like nails in my heart, and I bleed from time to time. It¡¯s okay to be loyal and obedient to the king, I have been targeting him. He makes me understand. But Prince Ying, Xu Guozhang, the queen, I  How did we treat them badly? They actually united with the rebels to kill me and seize my country? Mother, do you know that King Zhongshun and Prince Ying colluded to borrow troops from the Franji people to establish a kingdom in Ryukyu and compete with me for the world. Mother, do you know?  , you want to teach your son, should you kill them while they are not yet firmly established, or should you allow them to grow stronger and harm my children and grandchildren in the future?"

    The Queen Mother stared and shook her head: "I don't believe it, but I know about my own child"

    Emperor Qianyuan said calmly: "Prince Ying is your biological son, but in his heart, the imperial concubine and Prince Zhongyi are the orthodox ones. Mother, haven't you seen clearly after so many years? In his eyes, I and the queen,  They are all shady and shady property thieves"

    When Emperor Qianyuan finished speaking, the Empress Dowager suddenly felt heartbroken and fell down. Blood arrows spurted out from her mouth, dyeing the brocade tent bright red.

    Emperor Qianyuan suddenly felt heartbroken: "Mother, please call me the imperial physician. Mother"

    Before the imperial doctor arrived, Emperor Qianyuan also had blood oozing from the corners of his mouth and fainted!

    News that both the Queen Mother and the Emperor were seriously ill spread throughout the government and the public.

    Jia Lian, as the Minister of War, was also recruited into the palace.

    The eldest prince's eyes were red from crying, and Prince Xi and Uncle Zhang were in charge of everything.

    Prince Xi and Prince Zhongjing, as imperial ministers, naturally took charge of the bodyguards and royal guards.  The two major guard forces in Kyoto, the Purple Flag Army, were completely destroyed, and the Feng Sheng Army was still at sea. After discussing with Prince Zhongjing's uncle Zhang's family, Prince Xi reported to the eldest prince and decided to hand over the tiger talisman to Jia Lian, Minister of the Ministry of War, and let him temporarily  He is in charge of the nine gates of troops and horses, and together with the internal guards, he defends Kyoto.

    Jia Lian took over the tiger talisman and suggested: "I think it is better to spread His Majesty's decree to the sea as soon as possible, so that General Feng Tang can return to Beijing early. There are only three thousand soldiers and horses in Xishan now, and the main shotgun battalion and Xiaoqi battalion are both there."  No, there is no guard force outside the country's gate, and Wei Chen feels uneasy. There is also Northern Xinjiang, and now the Japanese pirates in the coastal areas are at the end of their strength. Wei Chen suggests that General Wei Kun be sent back to the Northern Xinjiang to guard it quickly, lest the Tatars take the opportunity to cause trouble."
