I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?
Chapter 83: Lift the maritime ban and throw the troublesome brother-in-law out to sea
The young prince still remembered Rand's musket-barreled army vividly.
And the city wall that collapsed in an instant!
so horrible!
If Li Guangmao had not run fast, he would have fallen into Rand's hands by now.
In fact, the Six Wise Kings were also a little shaken.
I fought with the late emperor for so long, and finally he passed away.
I didn't expect that this nephew would be a wise ruler even more capable than the late emperor.
The power in the court was wiped out.
The wealth of the court also lost in this river grain transport war.
The stockpiled food couldn't be sold at all.
Just when the Sixth Wise King was about to surrender and spend his later years quietly in the palace, he suddenly received this shocking news!
The emperor actually wants to enfeoff himself!
This is really a division of territory!
The emperor announced at a meeting in front of the palace that he would give the Six Wise Kings a piece of territory.
All matters there are managed by the Six Wise Kings!
The Six Wise Kings only need to recognize the status of the Great Zhou Dynasty as the Heavenly Kingdom, just like the vassal states.
Just pay tribute on time every year.
Moreover, as the territory of the royal family, if they encounter danger, they can ask for help from the Great Zhou!
And such a good thing!
The Sixth Wise King suddenly felt that he was too narrow-minded.
It would be fine if he was jealous of the late emperor, but he was also jealous of his own nephew.
The late emperor was obviously good to me.
After his nephew ascended the throne, he also showed great respect to his uncle.
Several times when the Six Wise Kings fell ill, the emperor personally gave them the imperial medicines from the palace.
The Sixth Wise King felt ashamed when he thought of his ambition to usurp the throne.
He pulled his son over and said:
"Son, your father has also seen that you are just an ordinary person."
"Originally, my father wanted to fight for you and give you a piece of the inheritance."
"But now it seems that you are lucky enough to be able to enjoy your life in peace."
"Son, let's be loyal to the Great Zhou and stop fighting!"
Young Prince Li Guangmao immediately said, "Dad! This time when we divide the territory, we must guard the border for the Great Zhou!"
The Sixth Wise King nodded approvingly and said:
"Your loyalty is good, but we are not going to Mobei just to guard it this time."
"Dad, what should we do?"
The Sixth Wise King stroked his beard and said:
"Didn't your majesty release those grain merchants? But the grain they hoarded is also thrown away."
"Those guys probably won't be able to survive in Kyoto anymore."
"Go contact them and see if anyone wants to go to Mobei with us?"
"And you take my invitation and go to the homes of those nobles to see if there are any talented children there."
"If anyone wants to go to Mobei with us, I will not be stingy with my rewards!"
Just when the Sixth Prince was preparing to go to Mobei to protect the Great Zhou.
Li Tian lay on the imperial couch, listening to Queen Tang Hanxue talking about interesting things at home.
"Empress, you said that my brother-in-law went home and had a big fight with my father-in-law the day before yesterday?"
"Yes, I heard from my mother and sister-in-law that they didn't speak to each other for several days after the quarrel."
Li Tian laughed when he heard that.
What a good noise!
Tang Xiaoren and Tang Yan are both my enemies!
It’s all written down in a little notebook!
You better fight!
Li Tian asked curiously, "Why did they quarrel?"
Tang Hanxue sighed and said:
"Your Majesty will definitely find it hard to believe that my father and brother quarreled over what the world looked like!"
"?"
Tang Hanxue said: "Daddy said that the earth is round, the sky is a spherical cover, and the sun, moon, and stars are all on the spherical cover."
"My brother said that the sky is round, in the shape of a bowl, and that the sun, moon, and stars are all on the bowl."
This……
Isn’t this the theory of the flat earth and the geocentric theory?
The father and son actually quarreled over this?
Tang Hanxue, who was already pregnant, looked at Li Tian and said, "Your Majesty, who do you think is right, father or brother?"
Li Tian said casually: "Neither of them is right!"
"The Earth is just a planet in the vast universe. The sun, moon and stars are all bigger than the Earth!"
"?"
Li Tian was not interested in discussing astronomy with the Queen, so he continued to ask:
"Queen, who do you think is right?"
Tang Hanxue said: "Of course I think what my brother said is right, otherwise why would the ground always look flat to us?"
"But Daddy said the earth is round and all the ocean currents in the world are connected."
"Then my brother said that if the earth is really round, then if you sail around the ocean, you should be able to return to the starting point."
"The two of them argued even more fiercely."
Tang Hanxue also sighed softly.
"Later, my brother got angry and said he would take his servants out to sea to find the edge of the ocean to prove that Dad was wrong."
"Hahaha." Li Tian laughed so hard that he trembled.
He suddenly said, "Wait, you said my brother-in-law wants to go out to sea?"
Tang Hanxue nodded: "Your Majesty, you don't know that my brother has the same personality as my father, and is very stubborn."
"He is just a stickler for details. He is not very good at taking the imperial examinations, but he is very devoted to studying these knowledge of the study of things and the pursuit of knowledge."
"In the past, he would try his best to conduct experiments to test what was written in the books."
"For this, he was beaten a lot since he was a child."
"Dad is the same. Even at his age, he still gets angry with his brother."
Li Tian suddenly said, "Queen, if my brother-in-law really wants to go to sea, I can support him."
Tang Hanxue's expression changed and she said, "Your Majesty, this is not possible. There was a maritime ban during the reign of the previous emperor!"
In the early days of the late emperor’s reign, the South China Sea region was invaded by the Japanese.
Because those Japanese were so disgusting, the late emperor issued a maritime ban!
The territorial waters of the Great Zhou were sealed off, which helped to quell the Japanese rebellion.
Li Tian said, "The present is different from the past. The previous emperor issued the maritime ban because of the Japanese."
"Now that the Japanese rebellion has been quelled, I will order the lifting of the ban!"
"And since my brother-in-law is determined to prove himself, I will ask him to build a fleet to explore the edge of the ocean."
"What do you think Queen?"
Tang Hanxue was stunned.
This is your majesty's great love for the Tang family.
Because of a minor quarrel in the Tang family, His Majesty was actually willing to sponsor my brother to go to sea.
And Tang Hanxue also knew that Tang Yan’s ambition had always been sailing.
Exploring the ocean world is Tang Yan's lifelong pursuit.
The men in the Tang family are all very stubborn.
My father’s stubbornness lies in the court, and his determination to ensure eternal peace!
My brother’s persistence is to explore the ocean and the world, and to explore the unknown mysteries.
Although going out to sea is somewhat dangerous, Tang Hanxue is not an ordinary woman.
She nodded and said, "If your majesty really means this, my brother will definitely be ecstatic!"
at last!
Finally I thought of a way to transfer Tang Yan out of the armory!
navigation!
I won't see this guy for a few years!
Then you can't continue to backstab me!
Finally cleared up a problem!
Li Tian immediately said: "Xiao Weizi, issue an order!"
"Repeal the maritime ban and order the armory inspector Tang Yan to build sea vessels in the port."
"I also ordered Tang Yan to be the deputy secretary of the Maritime Customs Bureau and to bring the specialties of the Great Zhou on the ships that he supervised to build."
