Chapter 267
"It's really a rare visitor." Si Ningchi looked at Zhao Yuanli and raised his eyes, squinting his eyes a little sleepily.

"I still have some things to discuss with the emperor, so I wanted to come to Chengming Palace together." Zhao Zongheng explained very obediently, then sloppily walked to Si Ningchi's side, and started the daily routine inquiry.

Whether my back is sore or my legs are sore, whether I eat well or sleep soundly.

He has to understand these small and boring trifles clearly. Zhao Yuanzhang didn't dare to step forward to disturb him. He just looked at the smiling face and the happy emperor bent his lips. Compared with Zhao Zongheng's caring and considerate, Si Ningchi's attitude It can be said to be extremely cold.

He didn't even want to pay attention to his appearance, but the phoenix eyes were squinted, and the smile at the end of the eyes couldn't hide from Zhao Zongheng's eyes.

He watched the empress stretch out her hand, pulled the emperor's ear gently and said, "Do you want to be annoying, go away."

"Of order." Zhao Zongheng stretched out his hand and gently touched Si Ningchi's bulging belly, put away his smile and stood up, turned his head and told Wang Chengxiang to prepare the meal, then turned to look at Zhao Yuanlu, and the two turned and went to the inner hall to discuss The court affairs have gone.

Zhao Yuanzhang couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, he stepped into the inner hall with Zhao Zongheng, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he looked at Chengming Palace, which was full of warmth.

He used to always feel that this palace was like a cage that trapped Zhao Zongheng here, but the people in the cage did not struggle, let alone yearning for the outside world, he seemed to be a person in the cage from birth.

Zhao Yuanzhang never thought that this cage is also called home.

"The sea area is vast, and our army does not have the ability to fight like this." Zhao Zongheng's calm tone came, and Zhao Yuanzhang's expression was slightly concentrated, and he looked up.

The emperor sitting at the table seems to have returned to his usual calm and calm appearance, staring intently at the military newspaper in his hand, frowning and contemplating, as if completely different from the gentle and gentle man just now, he is still in his memory The majestic emperor.

Zhao Yuanzhang paused for a while before saying, "Small island countries are nothing to be afraid of, but they have repeatedly invaded our country's waters and customs defenses recently, so we must pay attention to them."

Zhao Zongheng raised his hand and handed the military newspaper in his hand to Zhao Yuanzhang, signaling him to sit down.

Then he said unhurriedly: "I have ordered Yang Zhiming, the governor of customs, to understand the purpose of those people. Starting a war at this time is not good for our army. If it can be resolved peacefully, I will be more happy to see it happen."

"I feel that this matter may not be as the emperor wished." Zhao Yuanli was silent for a moment after reading the military newspaper in his hand, then sighed and said in a low voice.

"If the two countries really go to war, what does the emperor think we have a chance of winning?" Zhao Zongheng raised his eyes to look at Zhao Yuanli and said.

"Compared by national strength, the small island country is incomparable; but under the tug-of-war, the people of our country may be struggling in dire straits. The emperor certainly does not want to see such a scene happen."

Zhao Zongheng sighed lightly, obviously what Zhao Yuanzhang said was exactly what Zhao Zongheng was worried about.

Maritime warfare is not their strong point, and the small countries on the islands cannot be destroyed with a snap of your fingers. Once the two countries go to war, it is not impossible to win the war. Combining national power can completely consume them to death.

Ten years, or 20 years?

But if this is the case, how do the people live in peace on the land? Most of the people in the coastal areas live by fishing. Once a war starts, they will have to move their homes. What will these people do after decades of fighting?
This is not a situation Zhao Zongheng wants to see. Recently, there have been many disputes between the DPRK and China over this matter.

"Your Majesty, I can go to Weihai to meet the Lord of Yu Kingdom." Zhao Yuanli leaned over and said after a while.

"No rush." ​​Zhao Zongheng smiled and shook his head and said, "Before the war started, it was the time for the two countries to compete, and it was not yet the time for the emperor to come forward."

Zhao Zongheng stretched out his hand and put the stack of military newspapers aside, picked up the memorial and said, "It's not just for this purpose that I invited Uncle Huang here today."

As Zhao Zongheng said, he handed the folder in his hand to Zhao Yuanzhang and said, "Han Yulang, please transfer the book, you can take a look."

Zhao Yuanli's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard the words, and it took a long time before he reached out to take the notebook handed over by Zhao Zongheng. The memorial clearly stated that Han Yulang asked himself to be transferred from the capital...

"What did Uncle Huang do to cause General Han to flee Beijing in such a panic?" Zhao Zongheng looked at Zhao Yuanli's uncertain expression, a little funny, stood up and said, "Although Han Yulang is a daughter, Not like an ordinary woman."

"If the emperor's uncle is interested in her, he shouldn't get along with her like a noble girl in Beijing."

"Look, people scare you away."

"..."

Zhao Yuanzhang squeezed the edge of the folder tightly, his chest heaved for a long while and raised his eyes, "Has the emperor agreed?"

"Don't worry, I'm suppressing it." Zhao Zongheng raised his eyebrows and said, "For the sake of the happiness of the second half of the emperor's life, I have to stop you too."

"Your Majesty..." Zhao Yuanzhang opened his mouth, but was stopped by Zhao Zongheng. He looked at Zhao Yuanzhang and said, "Needless to say, Uncle Huang should go back earlier and think about how to win General Han's heart."

Zhao Yuanzhang took the booklet and left, Si Ningchi looked at Zhao Yuanzhang who walked out of the hall with a gloomy face, he was a little surprised, he didn't know what happened to make him show such an expression, then turned his head and saw Zhao Zongheng The look came out as usual, it seems that it is not because of state affairs.

Si Ningchi thought for a while, then blinked at Zhao Zongheng and said, "Your Majesty, is my step-sister entangled with the Emperor's uncle again?"

Zhao Zongheng paused, feeling aroused, the good mood he had just disappeared in an instant, he sat down beside Si Ningchi and said in a sullen voice, "I'm going to leave this matter to you." forget."

"Si Yirong made repeated remarks several times, begging me to persuade my uncle to marry my concubine as soon as possible." Zhao Zongheng snorted coldly, as if gnashing his teeth: "It's so annoying."

"At the beginning, the holy king made the promise himself, and the concubines listened to the emperor's wishes. Is the emperor planning to honor it?" Si Ningchi raised his eyebrows and asked a little funny.

"Let's hang it out." Zhao Zongheng muttered that he didn't know what he was planning, but it was obvious that he was planning something.

When the meal was served, Zhao Zongheng immediately diverted his attention.

Si Ningchi didn't ask too much, and secretly wrote down the matter, planning to invite Si Haoze into the palace to inquire about the situation.

Being tormented by this, Si Ningchi forgot about the rumors in the harem, and when he remembered it, it was the next morning, and Zhao Zongheng had long since disappeared.

Shen Ting came back in a hurry in the afternoon. He was invited into the hall before he had time to change his clothes. He stood in front of the hall with his head bowed. The bloodstains were not cleaned up.

Shen Ting didn't dare to approach, his whole body tensed up a little, as if he was afraid of being punished for doing something wrong.
