I want to ruin the country

The wine cabinet in the house is filled with various famous wines, including white wine, yellow wine, fruit wine, dew wine, and red wine.

The tea cabinet is filled with various famous teas from all over the country, so you can have whatever you want to drink.

The waiter introduced,

"You can drink all of these, but they're charged. The prices are clearly marked on the price list!"

"Is there a fee?"

Li Sheng felt distressed again!

The waiter said,

"All Royale's room amenities are free!"

Li Sheng asked tentatively,

"How big is the Royal One?"

The waiter replied,

"It's a little bigger than Six Palaces One!"

My God, the hotel’s Royal No. 1 is so big, how big must the Qianqing Palace where the emperor lives be?

When will I stop feeling sorry for spending hundreds of taels of silver and come to see what is inside Royal No. 1!

Li Sheng was not sure whether he was willing to live in Palace No. 1, but he had already made up his mind that when his country had money, he would build such a big hotel.

It is so easy for hotels to make money, it is simply huge profits. They also want to make money from foreigners.

Pushing open the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, you can see the streets and alleys of the capital city. The view is so broad and refreshing!

Li Sheng saw the ceramic flush toilet in the bathroom. He didn't have the courage to ask the waiter how to use it, thinking that he would just sit on it!

The waiter took the initiative to explain how to use the toilet. It turned out to be so simple, just press it with your hand!

The bathroom is very spacious, with a huge ceramic bathtub next to the toilet. Not to mention two people, even three people can take a bath together.

The washbasin was made of marble, with a large mirror above it. When the waiter turned on the light, the person in the mirror was clearly visible.

There was a stick of sandalwood lit in the bathroom, and the smoke was curling up, smelling very nice.

Li Sheng, a king who was used to living in the palace, felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, feeling a little overwhelmed.

He tried his best to appear calm so that the waiter wouldn't say he was ignorant. After all, he was the king of a country!

In the evening, Zaiyuan held a welcome dinner for him in the front building of the Royal Hotel!

During the three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Sheng had a great time in the capital.

It turns out that the rumors were true, and the capital city is now truly prosperous and peaceful.

Given his status as the king of a country, Li Sheng was very reserved at first.

But after two or three days, he realized that no one here seemed to be particularly interested in him, the dignified king.

Especially at night, it is really pleasant to sit outside at the roadside stalls, drinking, chatting and enjoying the cool air.

Finally, he did not take the sedan chair when he went out again. Instead, he strolled around with his two concubines and a few servants. This was more interesting.

The capital city now has an abundant supply of fresh vegetables and seasonal fruits.

From time to time, a small group of patrolling soldiers would pass by on the street. They were dressed in neat uniforms and had an awe-inspiring and inviolable demeanor.

It is really safe with them patrolling. Not to mention bullies or thugs bullying the good people, you won’t even see people quarreling.

This is what we call a peaceful and prosperous country. Thinking about the mess on his own island, Li Sheng became worried. When will we be able to get to this point?

He thought that the emperor was busy before the Mid-Autumn Festival and would summon him after the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, it was not until August 21st that the emperor still did not receive him.

I sent someone to inquire and found out that the emperor was holding a meeting these days.

Li Sheng was anxious but there was nothing he could do because the emperor was busy!

On August 21st, someone suddenly came to report that Prince Zasakdoro, the Minister of the Imperial Court, the Minister of the Imperial Guard of the Plain White Banner, and the new Commander of the Northeastern War Zone, Senglin, came to visit in person.

Li Sheng hurried to greet them. They were both princes, but Li Sheng always felt that he was not good enough in front of Senglinqin.

"King Zhezong, have you been having a great time in the capital these past few days?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am doing very well!"

After the two men exchanged pleasantries, Senglinqin did not exchange too many pleasantries and went straight to the point.

"Your Majesty has been busy with state affairs lately and has neglected the King, so he specially sent me to visit you. If there is anything you need, I can convey it to you!"

When Li Sheng heard this, he felt disappointed. What does that mean? The emperor is not free to see me yet?

Li Sheng and Seng Linqin talked for more than an hour. Seng Linqin saw that Li Sheng's face was getting uglier and uglier, and thought to himself that it was time for him to leave!

"Your Majesty, I, the Commander, am busy with military duties and cannot stay long. Please take your time to think about what I just said. Farewell!"

Senglin personally lifted his butt to say goodbye!

After seeing off Senglinqin, Li Sheng sat down on the soft sofa, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

The emperor agreed to help fight the Japanese pirates, but proposed to build shipyards and factories in his own country.

This is a good thing. The factory will pay taxes according to the rules, and it will be a win-win situation that benefits both parties.

But Senglinqin said that in order to protect these factories and mines, troops should be stationed there permanently.

Li Sheng must have some outstanding qualities to be able to become the king. He understood very well what the imperial court stationed troops meant and whether he still had sovereignty.

The imperial army had been there before, but they all went to help fight the war and left after the battle. Not only did they help for free, they didn't even keep a single soldier.

So, this time when Li Sheng came to ask for help, he didn’t feel any burden at all!

But now the imperial court wants to station troops there, what should we do?

I have come here and asked for help. Once words are spoken, it is too late to ask for them now!

But if I really agree to it, with the current powerful emperor, it would only take a few minutes for him to destroy me, right?

Li Sheng didn’t know whether the imperial court could defeat the foreigners in the future, but it would be as easy as taking candy from a sack for them to deal with themselves.

The councilor Jin Zhongnan who came with him saw that the emperor's face was changing and said,

"Your Majesty, why don't you send this message back and discuss it with the Chief Councillor?"

Li Sheng’s selection as king was largely due to the contribution of Chief Councillor Li Cunxuan. Li Sheng respected him very much, but the capital was far away from Seoul. How could he discuss things with Li Cunxuan?

Is the emperor waiting for him to discuss it slowly?

It would be better to go directly to the emperor to present his report and see what he thinks.

Li Sheng submitted a petition requesting to see the emperor!

The emperor is still busy and said goodbye in two days!

Li Sheng went to visit Senglinqin again, but Senglinqin was so busy that he didn't see him.

Li Sheng became more and more anxious. While writing to Li Cunxuan to ask him what to do, he continued to request an audience with the emperor.

The emperor didn't see it, so Senglin came back to pay his respects in person.

After greeting each other, Senglin said,

"Your Majesty, I have finished my business in the capital and will leave for Shengjing immediately. I have come to bid you farewell!"

Senglinqin is indeed very busy. The Northeast War Zone has been newly established and his headquarters should be located in Shengjing. He has a lot to do!

Li Sheng was stunned when he heard this and left without saying anything. What does that mean?

"My Lord, what about my family's affairs?"

The monks in the forest said,

"I have also reported this to the Emperor, but the Emperor has not responded yet!"
