It's hard to love a concubine

Chapter 202

In the distance, there was still the roar of the tide, like a cry of mourning, and the wharf of Longxing Island illuminated by torches was like daytime. Xia Zhen stood behind the boulder, with his limbs spread out, like a man standing up to the sky, with iron bones Shouted, "Emperor Ming is wise, he vigorously supported Haimao during his reign, and made our Daqi's prestige famous all over the world. With the prosperity of future generations and all nations coming to court, how mighty Daqi was at that time?"

Xia Zhen's voice was a little hoarse, but he yelled almost like a roar with extraordinary shocking power. His eye circles were slightly red, as if he didn't even notice the crossbowmen who were aiming at him, and they looked straight at him. Looking in the emperor's direction, he shouted, "But when Emperor Long was in his time, he was slandered by that treacherous villain and ordered this sea ban."

Qian Xiyao knew that the Empress Xiaoxian who traveled over here also did a lot of things. The first thing here was to open the sea ban and support the sea trade. Later, she even took a boat trip with Emperor Qi Ming, but when it was Emperor Long, Because of pirates and Japanese pirates constantly harassing the land of Zhejiang and Fujian, they finally took the measure of blocking the country's gates, that is, the sea ban. This is simply incomprehensible to Qian Xiyao, a bit like giving up food because of choking.

"Your Majesty, you are the master of the Ming Dynasty!" It is said that men do not flick their tears lightly, but Xia Zhen burst into tears as he spoke, looking straight in the direction of the emperor and said, "You can see What kind of life do the people in this sea town live? They don’t have enough clothes, they don’t have enough to eat, and if there is a tsunami, they have to sell their sons and daughters. Your Majesty...they are not your subjects? Don’t you feel bad? During the reign of Emperor Ming, this was a big port for the wealthy!!!" When Xia Zhen was 16 years old, his family wanted him for smuggling goods in the sea. It can be an enemy country, but the biggest dream is to let the imperial court lift the sea ban, let Daqi's sea trade flourish again, so that he can return to his homeland in a fair manner.

This time, he hitched up with the Marquis of Xinyang, thinking he finally had a chance, but because of the accidental death of Marquis of Xinyang, it was the price of falling short.

Qian Xiyao had seen the situation here with her own eyes a long time ago, and when she thought of Shen Xiaobei, she felt sad unconsciously, she turned her head and saw the emperor clenched her fingers tightly.

"Your Majesty, the grass people deserve to die, but do these people deserve to die?" Xia Zhen said, knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction of the emperor.

Feeling sad, Qian Xiyao pushed open the door and walked out. Deng Qiquan, who was beside the emperor, saw her and automatically stepped aside.

"Your Majesty, can you spare Xia Zhen? Although he is reckless, he is a rare man with courage and strategy. It is a pity to kill him like this." Qian Xiyao never wanted to interfere in politics, or even influence the emperor's decision. But this time she really wanted Xia Zhen to survive.

The emperor didn't speak for a long time, Qian Xiyao felt uneasy, she raised her head to look at the emperor, the flames shot up into the sky, casting an obscure shadow on his face, the stern lines were like a drawn sword, making people dare not look directly at him.

Qian Xiyao was bluffed, it was the first time she saw the emperor's expression.

Xia Zhen's voice attracted the people on the island, some of them knelt down, some wiped their tears aside, and shouted in the direction of the emperor, "Your Majesty, don't kill Lord Xia, he is a good man! "
