I want to ruin the country

"Father-in-law, what did you say?"

Cui Haoshi sighed.

"I said our Li Dynasty is about to end!"

"What do you mean? Why am I getting more confused the more I listen?"

Cui Haoshi said,

"It's the Emperor! It's the Emperor who has changed his mind!"

Li Sheng was shocked.

"Father-in-law, are you saying that the Emperor is going to send troops to attack us?"

Cui Haoshi shook his head and said,

"That won't happen. We have honestly never opposed the Emperor. He can't find a reason to send troops!"

Li Sheng was puzzled.

"Then what do you mean?"

Cui Haoshi said,

"Your Majesty, haven't you heard yet? The Emperor has even brought up Emperor Komei. Your Majesty, think carefully. Is the Emperor just saying this casually?"

Li Sheng lowered his head in thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said,

"I can't understand anything. Whatever happens, it's fine. Is the Emperor going to issue an order to seize our kingdom?"

Brother Cui Haohao didn't say anything.

"We will definitely lose our kingdom, but I don't know what strategy the emperor will come up with.

I think the emperor has made up his mind. He is probably hoping that the king will voluntarily hand over the country so that we can become a province of China like Sulu and Wagua.

If that is the case, the king can still maintain prosperity and wealth for several generations.

If this is not the case, and the Emperor has other ideas, the consequences will be unpredictable!"

Li Sheng asked in disbelief,

"Is it that serious?"

Cui Haoshi said,

"According to intelligence from the capital, the emperor is ready to unify the world.

After conquering the Japanese, we will take action in Myanmar, drive out the foreigners, and then send troops to India and fight westward!

Another route is to sail out to the southeast from Sulu!

Senglin Qin in the north was responsible for attacking Tsarist Russia, and You Zongtang in the west also fought directly westward all the way to Europe.

After the three armies of Luo Shixin, You Zongtang, and Seng Linqin joined forces in Europe, they landed in America and completed the great cause of unifying the world!

"Ah! Is the Emperor so ambitious?"

“That’s how big it is!”

"Can it be achieved?"

"That's about right. Isn't the Japanese pumpkin country destroyed now?"

"But can the Japanese nation's fighting power compare to that of Westerners?"

"Your Majesty, the fighting power of the Japanese pumpkins is not good, but you saw the emperor sweep through the Japanese pumpkin country with ease, didn't he?"

Li Shengdao,

"No, there was hardly any decent resistance!"

The two of them lowered their heads and said nothing, but Li Sheng couldn't hold it anymore.

"Father-in-law, please say something!"

Cui Haoshi said helplessly,

"What can I say, old minister? I can't think of any solution right now!"

Li Sheng was upset.

"So we're just going to watch our kingdom being handed over to someone else?!"

Cui Haoshi said,

"What can we do? Are we stronger than the squash?"

Li Shengdao,

"We now have 200,000 new troops. Don't we have the strength to fight?"

Cui Haoshi said,

"Your Majesty, if you hadn't mentioned the 200,000 new troops, the hearts of these old ministers would have been chilled. Now that you have mentioned the 200,000 new troops, my heart is chilled even more!"

Look at what equipment our new army has. Most of them are still holding flintlock rifles, and only the squad, platoon and company commanders have switched to new rifles!

Moreover, each of our soldiers was given four grenades, not even one more.

How can we fight against them with such firepower? If a war really breaks out, our 200,000 people will probably be wiped out in one day!

Also, can we move our 200,000 men on our own now? Our military power is in the hands of the Emperor!"

Li Sheng slammed the table.

"Your Majesty has planned this carefully and has made preparations long ago!"

Cui Haoshi said,

"What does it matter if we're prepared or not? Even if the emperor is still the same emperor as before, it's still easy for him to deal with us!"

"So what? We have to find a solution!"

Cui Haoshi said,

"I don't have any good ideas either. If there is really no other way, I do have a bad idea!"

"Say it quickly!"

"I want to tell you, Your Majesty, please do not blame me."

"Just tell me, I don't blame you!"

"In my opinion, it's better to do this for now and wait and see what the emperor plans to do. If that's what the emperor wants, I think it would be nice for you to hand over power and live as a peaceful prince!"

"Snapped!"

Li Sheng slapped the table with his palm.

"You bastard!"

Cui Haoshi quickly knelt down,

"Your Majesty, you said you wouldn't blame me!"

Li Sheng took a few breaths and finally said,

"I don't blame you, get up!"

Cui Haoshi said,

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not blaming me!"

He stood up, bowed,

"Your Majesty, I have been feeling unwell recently and would like to take some time off to recuperate. Please grant me your permission!"

"How are you feeling? Have you seen a doctor?"

"I often have palpitations and panic attacks. The doctor told me to rest, otherwise my life might be in danger!"

Li Shengming knew that he was lying, but he had no choice but to say,

"Go ahead!"

Cui Haoshi returned home and sat in a chair feeling depressed.

The task assigned to me by Su Shun is not easy to complete!

Li Sheng also had a sad face, and called the Prime Minister Li Cunxuan over and repeated the conversation with Cui Haoshi.

"Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Li Cunxuan was furious and cursed,

"How dare Cui Hao, a coward, harm my king!"

Li Sheng said,

"He has no other choice!"

"What do you mean there's no way? You're clearly afraid of the enemy and afraid to fight. You deserve to be killed!"

"Then what good plan does the Prime Minister have?"

"What good plan do you have? What did the emperor say? Are we going to obediently hand over the country to him just because he mentioned Emperor Komei?

How can this be true? How is this any different from worrying about the future?"

When Li Sheng heard what Li Cunxuan said, he said,

"The Prime Minister means to ignore it!"

"Just do what needs to be done and wait and see what happens!"

Li Cunxuan sounded very confident, and Li Sheng had no other choice but to do this.

Yining returned triumphantly to Tianjin, and this time he was expanding the territory again, so naturally the ministers came to welcome him again.

Fortunately, we now have jeeps, making travel to Tianjin very convenient.

After more than 20 days of recovery, Yining was able to walk again, but he could not walk fast.

They were attacked and injured, and only a small group of people including Lin Zexu knew about it to avoid causing panic.

Yining got off the boat on a sedan chair. When he came close to the kneeling ministers, he got off the sedan chair, asked everyone to stand up, and waved to them!

Lin Zexu, Du Shoutian and Prince Gong got up and hurried over to ask what was going on. Yining simply took the microphone and said to everyone,

"I'm back, and I've won a great battle!"

Everyone cheered enthusiastically and shouted "Long live, long live, long live!"

Yining said again,

"I was slightly injured this time, not from fighting, but from an ambush by the enemy ninja.

But it's fine now, and I can't blame anyone else. It was all my own carelessness, so please rest assured."

People cheered again!

The emperor was injured, so the welcoming ceremony was kept simple, and then he took a jeep back to the capital.
