  Dream Castle

  Changan Temple

  Chang’an Hall is one of the four back halls of the Dream Castle. It is located in the East Palace together with the Xianju Hall where King Li Fushou lives daily. It is the daily residence of Queen Gu Liuyan. The courtyard is deep and the palaces are numerous.

The news of the return of the third prince Li Siyuan spread like wind throughout the Chang'an Palace, and a crowd of young princes and princesses all rushed over, "Good for the third brother", "Good luck for the third brother", and "please Announce the third brother". , It's really lively.

Li Siyuan was stopped in the garden. He looked like his brother at the moment. He brought gifts to his brothers and sisters. They were nothing but Fusang lanterns, folding fans, geisha dolls, etc., and they were given away later. .

  After a while of frolic

  The queen's personal maid came to pass the pass, and Li Siyuan got rid of the puppies, sorted out the military uniforms, and stepped into the hall with magnificence under the guidance of the maid.

  "My son, please give peace to the mother." Li Siyuan respectfully saluted.

  It is not allowed to bow down in a military uniform, so he has reached the ground.

Gu Liuyan looked at the tall son's eyes full of love, and said, "Don't give me a gift, and sit next to my mother's queen. I haven't seen each other for many days. Yuan'er seems to be a little clearer, and his face is tanned. Get more energetic."

   "Mother, my son misses you so much!"

The words of Gu Liuyan flashed in tears, stretched out his hand to stroke Li Siyuan’s face, and said with a trembling voice; “The child is the flesh of the mother, how can the queen be willing to leave you, born in the royal family and heaven to enjoy endlessly? Prosperity and wealth, but you also have a heavier natural moral burden on your shoulders. You are a crown prince, and you are born to suffer more than ordinary people. The mother and the queen have no knowledge of women, and even if you feel distressed, you dare not violate the holy intentions, your father. The king is a god-like figure. What he says and does is right, and he needs to understand it carefully."

  This is not what Li Siyuan wanted to hear. He also fantasized about pestering the queen mother to talk about whether he could go for the drudgery.

   never thought

  The words were blocked before they could be exported, and he didn’t want to think about it either;

  The queen mother has been in charge of the harem for many years. What kind of people and things have not been seen?

  "Mother, my son, I want to live for a long time when I come back this time, so I can do my filial piety under the knees of you and my father. The so-called parents are not traveling far away, and I can read and study in the palace as well as diligently practice my skills."

   "My son, you have to ask what your father is going to do?"

"Mother, please help me to talk about it. I just saw my tenth brother. He couldn't speak when I set sail. This time he was called "Sanguo". He was still decent. He asked me for it. Candy to eat!."

   "Hmph, no one can see how to help you tell me, your father hasn't been to Chang'an Palace for more than a week."

  Speaking of which

  Qu Liuyan, Queen Gu Liuyan's face showed an unpleasant look, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold.

  Li Siyuan was about to ask, Mrs. Xia Guan and Mrs. Qiuyue who were sitting next to the queen waved their hands quickly to let him not mention the stubbornness, which only annoyed the queen.

  Actually, it is not only the Queen of the East Palace who is angry, but the concubine Nicole of Nishi Palace, and Sister Fiona are even more angry.

  Actually, His Majesty the King has not been there for more than ten days, which is hard to imagine before.

  The holy family is lost...As long as you think of this, the Nicole sisters will be crazy, and they hate the little fairy Sophia even more, and even hate Fan Zhongzhai.

  Recently, there was a will in the palace;

Baron Li Yong, who lives in the heart of the court of Jianghu, now offers 40,000 square kilometers of land in Eritrea. This is a rare and exemplary loyalty to the kingdom. This king has given him a generous gift. He is a hereditary consignment of the Humen Viscount. Yap, to show encouragement.

  There is also Lei Xiaopeng, the commander of the garrison of Somali Prefecture, who is the gate of heroes. He has guarded Africa for more than ten years to open up frontiers and expand the land.

  In addition to commending Humen Viscount Li Yong for his contribution to the land, the other biggest factor is probably the sacrifice of Humeizi Sophia. Whenever he thinks about this, the princesses in the harem will itch their teeth with hatred.

As for Major General Lei Xiaopeng, it is more of Lei Peng Yu Meng, the veteran of the royal guard, and he has worked hard in Africa for more than ten years. This title really deserves his name, but he came a little late. .

  Another appointment in the Ocean Kingdom Palace is surprising;

  Removed from the current post of Secretary General Fan Zhongzhai of the Royal Secretariat and transferred to the Governor of Queensland.

  The current Queensland Governor Fan Asheng resigned due to illness and still holds other government positions. This is tantamount to making way for Fan Zhongzhai.

  Fan Zhongzhai took the lead in the formation of the Democratic Freedom Alliance and served as its chairman. After that, a large number of nobles and social influencers joined in, setting off a new situation in the political arena of the Ocean Kingdom.

  A very discerning person can guess; this is preparing for the change of government!

  Xianju Temple

  The curtain in the bedroom hangs down and the light is dim.

  Luxury European Baroque palace-style bed, thin brocade is messy, and you can vaguely see amazing curves and black hair like waterfalls.

  After a long time

  The delicate body squirmed on the bed, and the face of the **** and charming girl lifted up. It was the concubine Sophia who was a little sleepy and screamed; "Your Majesty."

   "If you return to Madam, Your Majesty has already gone to the front hall to deal with the affairs of the court."

   "Oh, when will you be back?"

   "This... we don't know, Madam just waits with peace of mind."

   "Well then, help me freshen up."

  Sophia sat up lazily, the young woman was watered with moisture and luster, the embroidered silk pajamas showed a corner of her shoulders, and she could see the rounded curves exuding a charming white jade luster.

  In the front hall

  The refreshed Li Fushou strode in, and saw Li Sixian, the deputy secretary-general of the royal family, standing respectfully on his side with a slight chin, and a gust of wind passed in front of him.

   came to sit down in front of the throne, Li Fushou frowned unchecked, this Sophia is really a stunner in the world, just a bit too expensive.

  He quickly dispelled his distracting thoughts, took a sip of the brewed tea, and asked; "Have you submitted the memorials for the crimes of the cabinet members?"

   "All the words in reply to your majesty are presented."

   "Well, the British Foreign Secretary Alister Jack wrote me a long letter after the curtain call of the current cabinet. The king has forwarded the cabinet. What do they say?"

  Li Sixian replied respectfully; "Return to your Majesty;

  Alister Jack’s main concern in the letter is South Africa and the Far East, and the cabinet has already replied through diplomatic mail.

  In the Far East, as long as the Fuso Kingdom does not take the initiative to initiate provocations, the Ocean Kingdom will be committed to maintaining the security and stability of the Western Pacific region, cooperating with British foreign policy in the Far East, and not only pursuing regional hegemony.

  The only concern is the situation in Vietnam. The newly established Vietnam has been madly hostile by the French Saigon Governor’s Mansion. Recently, three batches of reinforcements have been transferred from Europe to the Far East.

  The first batch of 1,075 French Foreign Legions arrived in Fenghua two months ago and was stationed there.

  The second batch of 634 people, also from the French Foreign Legion, arrived in Hanoi a month ago and strengthened the local garrison.

  The third batch of 2212 people came from the French troops stationed in the Suez Canal. They have just arrived in Saigon recently, and they were a little bit unwilling.

  The Kingdom’s diplomatic envoys and the British representatives asked the Governor’s Mansion in Saigon for inquiries; the answer was that normal personnel should be deployed, so don’t disturb yourself.

  Such an answer is difficult to satisfy. Therefore, the cabinet has expressed concern about the situation in the Indochina Peninsula, and passed the relevant information to London through diplomatic channels.

  Currently, there is no positive response from London.

  As for the situation in South Africa, the Cabinet has upheld the will of His Majesty and expressed its willingness to follow in the footsteps of the United Kingdom and play an active role in maintaining peace in southern Africa. It does not hold positions on specific matters. "

   "Yes, yes."

   Hearing the answer, Li Fushou nodded. His control of the government is comprehensive and in-depth, and the cabinet is only the executive body.

  The current performance is still qualified, so he is not willing to make a big fuss, reorganize the cabinet ahead of time, and wait until the term of this cabinet expires.

  It is true that the Vietnamese country faces the threat of force from the French colonists. The answer from the Saigon Governor’s Mansion always makes people feel familiar. For example, the Oceanic Kingdom United Strike Fleet just happened to have a goodwill visit to the Ryukyu Kingdom. Believe it or not? Anyway, I believe it.

  But what about this kind of thing?

  The Great Ocean Kingdom can do it, the French colonists can do it naturally, and the European and American powers can do it. In this world where status is based on the size of the fist, it is not reasonable at all.

   asked Li Sixian a few more questions. Li Fushou waved his hand to make him retreat. He glanced at the thick memorial memorial on the table. He didn't want to look at it temporarily, and his slender fingers tapped the memorial lightly to consider it.

  The French are not honest again. They regard the Indochina Peninsula as their own prohibition, and even the British can't pretend to intervene. How can they allow the establishment of a country in Vietnam?

  After the French colonists invaded the Indochina Peninsula, they successively destroyed the kingdoms of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, facing Thailand across the Mekong River. The British took the lead in occupying the kingdom of Burma to protect the flank of the Indian colony and prevent French infiltration.

  To be honest, the Indian colony was actually snatched by the British from the French, cough cough... it’s all hatred to talk about!

  For the newly born Vietnam, it is very important to be able to hold the French offensive.

  Hold it, and the future political power will be stabilized.

  Don't say anything if you can't carry it, Gu Zhiwen still obediently goes back to be the eldest master of Gu Mansion.

   Although Gu Zhiwen sent his two sons, Yanqing and Yanxi, to the Ocean Kingdom, Li Fushou can only help with arms, military instructors and some funds. The rest is mainly on his own.

  After all, the king of the Yue Kingdom was surnamed Gu and Li, and Li Fushou didn’t have to scream and scream for this. For him, one more country would be happy to see it. It didn’t matter if there was one less, it was not worth it.

  It is very interesting to be able to send a high-level military delegation.

  For this ambitious brother-in-law, Gu Zhiwen, Li Fushou only offered one piece of advice; let professional people do professional things.

  As for whether you can listen or not, hehe...it’s your guy who broke it. It hurts on yourself and has nothing to do with others.

In the Far East, nothing has happened in the past two years. Let alone a basket of sesame seeds and rotten millet in the Manchu Dynasty. The Fuso Kingdom is secretly gritting its teeth and wounds. Eat less rice **** and call on young women to step forward to Nanyang...

  Well, Li Fushou admitted that these little devils are ruthless enough, and the momentum of their rise is still unstoppable. He is really out of luck.

  In the near future, Tsarist Russia will have an official delegation to visit the Ocean Kingdom and the United States to inspect shipyard facilities and the ability to build battleships, preparing to build a capital ship for the Vladivostok Far East Fleet.

  Instead, the situation is deteriorating in South Africa. Li Fushou still has some ideas about this area. Of course it is impossible to occupy it. It is already in the bag of the British Cape colony. No one will give up this big treasure.

  The French and Germans dare not make any ideas. The Kingdom of Oceans has nothing to do with it. Don’t be boring. The British will really turn their faces.

  What Li Fushou wants to fight for is the right to fair development. If the British want his help, they must give the Chinese the right to participate in gold and diamond mining fairly and ensure that private property is sacred and inviolable.

  Without these conditions, he is not willing to blend in, so go and play by yourself.
