The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 639: Attacked at Sea

Before I knew it, it had already entered the twelfth lunar month, and there were still six or seven days before the end of the year.

Ever since Absolute took the boat by sea and went to Yingzhou first, Xiao Rui ordered Li Yuanfang to make preparations in secret. The sea route is no safer than the land route. As the saying goes, it is better to bully the mountains than to bully the water. The sea is choppy, and if you encounter a storm, you will die. So you must be prepared before you go.

Xiao Rui doesn't tell others about his movements, but all the wives have to say clearly that this trip is expected to take more than half a year, and telling them in advance will also make them mentally prepared. Among all the girls, the one who needs comfort the most is Yan Xiaoxiao She was pregnant and couldn't accompany her, so Xiao Rui spent a lot of effort to reassure her. Of course, the names of the children when they were born in the future were also planned, one for each boy and one girl.

Secondly, several academicians in the cabinet must inform.

During the period when I was not in the palace, the state affairs were decided by the chief minister of the cabinet, Li Mingchong, Lu Yuanzheng, Cheng Ming, Song Yingxing, Meng Tianhai, and Fang Xuanling. If they disagreed, they could use the old method to decide, that is, voting . In order to avoid a tie vote among six people, Xiao Rui has decreed that Guo Ziyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, will be included in the cabinet.

There are seven people in the cabinet, four of whom are descendants. They are 100% loyal to Xiao Rui and will never betray. Liangchen, with them here, there is no need to worry about their rebellion.

Of course, the few of them strongly opposed Xiao Rui's going out, let alone crossing the sea to Yingzhou, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, as an emperor, he should honestly stay in the palace and sit in command.

It's a pity that a few people can't stop Xiao Rui. Although Xiao Rui became the emperor, he still can't rest comfortably. This time he is touring Anbei and Anxi, and in the future he will go to conquer the Qin Kingdom himself. It is impossible for him to die on the throne .

The last few people saw that they couldn't stop it, so they asked Xiao Rui to leave a will. In this way, Xiao Rui left a will, once he died, the eldest son would be the crown prince to inherit the rule. Only then did the voices of opposition from several people be blocked.

On the other hand, relying on the powerful medicinal power of Da Huan Dan, Li Yuanfang lived up to everyone's expectations and broke through the super rank, becoming the third super master after Li Cunxiao and Dian Wei. And Wang Dazhi has also stepped into the super-grade state, but his age is there, it is difficult to enter the super-grade state in this life.

Secondly, there are other people who worked hard, such as Xiao Yan.

In order to be able to accompany Xiao Rui to go out wandering, he spent sleepless nights and food forgetting to conceive and solve the case. He even lived in Song Ci's home and memorized Song Ci's "Winning Injustice Collection" by heart. "Qin Ming" was born!

The Daxia Daily published it serially, and the public's reputation exploded when they saw it. It was the first time that they discovered that investigating a case could be so interesting, especially Qin Ming's superb post-mortem technique, which was astonishing!

This book directly became popular in "The Collected Records of Washing Injustices". In addition, Xiao Rui highly praised the value of "Collections of Washing Injustices" in the early court, and said that all officials in charge of the case should study the contents of the book carefully. It even made "Winning Injustice Collection" out of stock!

Taking advantage of the joy of the New Year, Song Ci also cut the ribbon for the Criminal Investigation Academy, and Xiao Rui specially sent a personal message and plaque.

Same as the junior college, the students who graduated from the criminal investigation college can be given priority by the Ministry of Officials, and they can enter the prefectures and counties to take charge of the case investigation.

Rewarding merit and fame, such as rewarding the same background as Jinshi and Gongshi, that's not bad! It doesn't take ten years of studying hard to gain fame, and the School of Criminal Investigation is a hit.

Of course, this also aroused huge opinions, and scholars are not willing, so in order to alleviate the strong opposition from scholars and aristocratic families, the students recruited by the School of Administration must be of Juren origin.

And this step immediately blocked the scholar's mouth.

After all, the next step is to become a Jinshi. They can choose the imperial examination or the criminal investigation college, and is it so easy to graduate from the criminal investigation college?

This was a concession made by Xiao Rui. He also knew that letting the School of Criminal Investigation directly recruit disciples from poor families would encounter great obstacles, so he could only make concessions first, and there was no need to rush.

After completing the task, Xiao Yan slept for a day and a night, then recovered the spirit of the dragon and horse, ran into the palace and asked Xiao Rui when to leave.

Xiao Rui has already picked a time to set off on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. At the same time, he also told King Wu Xiao Ze that he was going to Yingzhou, and asked them to set off together.

Xiao Ze didn't expect Xiao Rui to go with him, and he also strongly opposed it, thinking that Xiao Rui had just ascended the throne, so he should focus on the overall situation and avoid people playing tricks while he was away.

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "That's just right! Give them a chance to let them show their feet, so that the cancer in the capital can be completely eradicated!"

Xiao Ze couldn't persuade him, so he went to Li Mingchong again. Anyway, the final result was that no one could stop Xiao Rui.

When the time came to New Year's Eve, Xiao Rui hosted a family banquet and invited the prince to watch the new year together.

Concubine Jin was not able to attend the family banquet because she was unwell. It seemed that she was afraid of seeing Xiao Rui. The two of them were obviously innocent, but they were misunderstood. It was really helpless. Jin Wang Xiao Lie was also on pins and needles, always feeling that Xiao Rui's eyes kept scanning him.

This made Xiao Lie extremely annoyed, and at the same time secretly guessed in his heart, it seems that he didn't bring that bitch here, so Xiao Rui was displeased!

That's why I said you have no adultery!

What a couple of dogs and men!

Look at Li Xiu'er, sitting with the noble concubines, Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui, although the King of Chu was killed by someone sent by Xiao Feng, if he doesn't die, he will be mad at you!

This New Year's Eve dinner filled Xiao Lie with anger.

Xiao Rui naturally didn't know that Xiao Lie had filled up so much anger in his head, if he knew, he would feel like laughing and laughing, this guy is a talent, don't take photos to waste it.

As for the other princes, Xiao Rui was most surprised by King Jing Xiao Jing's changes.

Xiao Jing, who was lame, became a little dull, but a lot more stable. Xiao Rui chatted with him a few words and found that he was not as superficial as before. It seemed that he had read the book and learned something.

Xiao Rui encouraged him a few words, and he responded with a smile. In the past, he would definitely become angry from embarrassment.

Watch the New Year, the first year of Taichu is gone, and the second year of Taichu is ushered in.

For the remaining few days, Xiao Rui didn't have to worry about state affairs, and spent time with his daughters-in-law, but his back was exhausted.

When the time came to the fifth day of the first lunar month, Xiao Rui was ready to set off.

On this tour, Xiao Rui took Li Yuanfang, Gai Zinie, Wang Dazhi, and Yan Qing to protect him. At the same time, he also had four adopted sons raised by Wang Dazhi, who were proficient in concealed weapons, poison techniques, and light kung fu. Finally, Azhu.

How brilliant is A Zhu's disguise technique. During this time, A Zhu made human skin masks for Xiao Rui, Li Yuanfang and others, which can disguise their identities, so bringing her is very useful.

In addition, A Zhu was also placed high hopes by Lu Zhi and others, that is to stare at Xiao Rui, not to be intoxicated by random flowers, and forget about his wife and children in the palace.

This made Xiao Rui dumbfounded, is he that kind of person?

Going out on tour by myself is a serious matter, not going out to pick up girls, not to mention that I have such high vision, can ordinary women be attracted to it? If he was a hungry person, then these concubines would not be the only ones in the harem, and it would already be full of colorful flowers.

When they arrived at the pier, Xiao Ze's family members were already waiting. Xiao Rui waved goodbye to the seven Cabinet Grand Masters, and then boarded the boat and started to set off!

The trip to Yingzhou this time was not on a large scale. The five sea-going ships with a length of 90 meters did not use the most advanced Ming Dynasty treasure ship in Daxia. There are more than 4,400 people on the five ships, including excellent sailors and oarsmen, and they are equipped with gunpowder and offensive equipment.

The fleet has to go eastward, pass through Huzhou and then go northeast, about 1,400 miles, to reach Yingzhou. The place where Emperor Xia settled was in Edo, so it took a few days before he arrived in Edo, and the whole journey took about ten days.

It was not the first time for Xiao Rui to take a boat, so he would not get seasick, but Li Yuanfang and Yan Qing felt uncomfortable.

It's a pity that it's winter, and the sea breeze is too cold, otherwise it would be nice to put a deck chair on the deck, eat some fruit, and enjoy the sea scenery.

According to the itinerary plan, the fleet this time had to bypass the Osumi Strait on the south side of Yingzhou, and then go north to the coastal pier on the east side of Edo, which was very close to Edo at that time.

Today, the ship just passed the Osumi Strait. Near the Osumi Strait, there is an island called Yakushima. There are very few indigenous Japanese living on the island, isolated from the world. But half a month ago, things were not peaceful here.

Because a large number of Japanese pirates came here suddenly and quietly, there were seven or eight thousand people, and the ships they took were not big, the largest was only more than 30 meters long, but there were so many of them, enough for twenty or thirty ships , Stopped densely on the shore of Yakushima.

The Wa Kingdom has been destroyed, and Qi Jiguang is responsible for the security of the entire Yingzhou. What is the purpose of so many people hiding in Yakushima?

As Xiao Rui's ship passed through the Osumi Strait, the Japanese pirates took action immediately. They quickly boarded the ship and headed towards Xiao Rui's ship. Sharp firing pins were installed on their bows, and the Japanese pirates on board had cold and cruel faces, holding Japanese swords in their hands, ready to kill all directions.

It turned out that this group of pirates hid here to ambush Xiao Rui! But how did they know Xiao Rui's whereabouts?

Xiao Rui was resting in the room when he heard a rapid knock on the door. After Li Yuanfang came in, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there are enemy ships coming!"

"Oh, really?" Xiao Rui had no expression on his face, he couldn't see any joy or anger, and he went out quickly. Standing on the deck, he saw a large group of ships coming from the north. There are six or seven nautical miles.

Among Wang Dazhi's four adoptive sons, there were those with excellent eyesight. They stood tall and saw far away, and they came down and said: "Your Majesty, the visitors are dressed as Japanese!"

Although Xiao Rui's ship was tall and tall, but there were many Japanese people, it was quite dangerous to fight.

Xiao Rui nodded to the naval commander who was leading the navigation this time. He immediately informed the ship to stop moving forward, then waved the semaphore, and all the oarsmen were dispatched. The other four ships protected the middle ship where Xiao Rui was, and at the same time the ship turned around. direction, and start moving backwards.

The leader of the Japanese is a small man. Seeing this scene, he laughed loudly and said, "Emperor Xia is scared! Boys, speed up and catch up, kill Emperor Xia, and reappear Wa and Qi!"

The Japanese pirates shouted excitedly and waved the Japanese sword in their hands.

It turns out that these Japanese pirates are not all Japanese, but also the old people of Qi State.
