Chapter 774: The Navy Returns to the Port

The sudden rain in Quanzhou City had just stopped. At midnight, the sky gradually became deeper. The dark clouds were pressing down on the hidden muffled thunder in the night sky.

In the Navy Office, the strong wind whistled before the heavy rain, and ghosts cried and wolves howled. The yamen was dark, with only countless grass clippings rolling up, swelling one after another.

The water outside the harbor not far away rolled up waves, and repeatedly slapped the pier in the darkness, making a rustling sound.

As the thunder buzzed, a flash of lightning flashed down, and the sudden lightning illuminated a gloomy and terrifying face in the back hall of the Haizheng Office.

This is a unique small hall. It drizzles from the eaves, like a water curtain. There is only an oil lamp in the hall. Two people kneel in the hall, and they dare not let out the atmosphere. At the moment when the lightning illuminates, Yang Jian, who was kneeling in the middle, raised his head slightly, glanced at Zhao Ji, who was sitting in the hall, and immediately lowered his head.

Kneeling beside Yang Jian was Wu Wencai. Wu Wencai's face was ashes, and his head was heavily hit on the ground without moving. The power of heaven was as bright as the thunder and lightning was hard to guess. At this time, His Majesty was in a rage. How dare he, a small governor of the Navy, comfort him?

Zhao Ji on the chair leaned on the back of his head against the chair cushion, his face pale. Under the faint light, his closed eyes narrowed into a gap. From these gaps, he could clearly see his anger.

The emperor's anger was buried in millions of corpses and bleeding. At this moment, Zhao Ji was really angry, this kind of anger that had experienced rebellion and a deepest disgust from the bottom of his heart.

He slowly opened his mouth and said word by word: "He... is looking for death."

As a minister's instinct, Wu Wencai licked his lips, felt that he should say something, and knelt on the ground, saying with difficulty: "Your Majesty calms down, this matter is related to the overall situation of the maritime affairs..."

Zhao Ji suddenly stood up, picked up the teacup on the table and threw it down hard. With a jingle, the teacup fell into several petals, and the porcelain pieces flew and splashed on Wu Wencai's forehead.

The bright red blood... flowed down, dyeing the ground under Wu Wencai's jaw red.

Zhao Ji said angrily: "Maritime Affairs...Maritime Affairs... It is precisely because of the Maritime Affairs that so many things have happened. Now a small prince of a vassal state dares to ignore my Song Dynasty and ignore me. It's better not to have this Maritime Affairs!"

Wu Wencai kowtowed heavily: "Damn it!"

Zhao Ji's hand was trembling. He believed that he had fulfilled his benevolence and righteousness to the vassal state, and he always comforted and favored him. However, a prince of a vassal state dared to provoke like this. Speaking of this matter, the Song Dynasty gave in step by step. The prince killed someone and only used escorts. Who knew that the prince did not understand the painstaking efforts of the Song Dynasty and was not grateful, but instead became more and more powerful. It would be fine if Zhao Ji was not in Quanzhou, but the emperor of the Song Dynasty came and the prince did so, wouldn't it be clear that he would embarrass him, the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Ji continued to roar, "If he wants to die, then he will fulfill his wish. Come and tell Ma Yinglong, and tell him that the prince of the Three Buddhas and Qi killed people in the street, which will touch the laws of the Song Dynasty. Just judge immediately. Do not delay or leave a sideline."

Wu Wencai was anxious at this time, and he also deeply hated the prince, but in the position of governor of the navy, he understood that if the situation was allowed to develop like this, Prince Nunu was killed, and combined with the current situation of the vassal kings with ulterior motives, it would be harder to hold the exhibition of the nations than to climb to heaven. At that time, the Three Buddhas and Qi Kingdoms would take the pretext to take back the governor's jurisdiction. If they start, the situation of the navy will continue to be corrupt.

If anyone dared to take this point in the past, the Nanyang Navy would have to be suppressed. However, now the Nanyang Navy is in trouble and many things are not so easy to deal with.

He raised his courage and said, "Your Majesty, you must not. This matter needs to be discussed calmly. If it is not effective, we will wait until the King of Pingxi returns the good news."

Zhao Ji said viciously: "Why, are you pleading for that prince?"

Wu Wencai was speechless for a moment, and was anxious. He didn't know what to say. However, Yang Jian was smart and knew that Wu Wencai was also doing his job for the maritime affairs, and this maritime affairs were closely related to the King of Pingxi. At this time, he said: "Your Majesty, what is a prince of a vassal king? If your Majesty personally cares about him, he will lose the royal majesty. If this matter is still handled by the maritime affairs of the Nanyang vassal states, isn't it always under the maritime affairs? Isn't your Majesty need not come forward, just let Lord Wu sack the office."

Yang Jian's words made Zhao Ji's expression ease. He had been with Zhao Ji for decades, and he would be unable to understand Zhao Ji's temper. After all, it was nothing more than face. Yang Jian's specialty in picking up face was naturally much better than Wu Wencai's dizzy and persuading.

Zhao Ji took a deep breath, his tone became gentler, and said, "You are right. I am the supreme emperor of the Nine Clans, so why should I be angry with a small prince of the vassal state? But this person is really hateful. Humph, okay, I don't care, you guys will deal with it yourself."

He brushed his sleeves and walked quickly.

There were only two left in the hall, Wu Wencai and Yang Jian, who were bleeding from their foreheads. Yang Jian stood up, helped Wu Wencai up, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Wu." After that, he took out his hand towel to wipe Wu Wencai's forehead.

Wu Wencai hurriedly said, "It's right for the official, it's right for the official." After taking the towel, rubbed the blood with gritted teeth, he sighed bitterly, "Thank you, Eunuch Yang for your good words."

Yang Jian said with a smile: "It should be, the family of the zodiac is just a small task, so Lord Wu doesn't need to thank him. But then again, Your Majesty is angry now. Lord Wu, then what prince can suppress it again, but when Your Majesty still asks about it next time, the family of the zodiac will be helpless."

Wu Wencai sighed and said, "Yes, but there is no news from King Pingxi. If King Pingxi comes back, the lower officials will be relieved." He gritted his teeth and said, "But no matter what, King Pingxi will not come back. In the overall situation of the maritime affairs, the lower officials will have to work hard to the end. His Highness entrusts Quanzhou to the lower officials before leaving, and the lower officials can only give up this future and deal with it."

Yang Jian looked at Wu Wencai deeply and thought to himself, what method did the Shen surname use to make Wu Wencai so devoted? Speaking of which, Wu Wencai was once the head of the Ministry of Rites, and was the fifth rank. Now that he became the governor of the Navy, he was not considered a high-ranking official, which is surprising.

How could he know that Hai Zheng is not only Shen Ao's career, but also countless careers like Wu Wencai. They are in different positions and are dedicated to protecting the seedlings and growing into towering trees. It is even more reluctant to let them go than to take away their own flesh and blood.

After the thunderstorm, the port was extremely fresh, and even the fishy and salty smell of the sea breeze disappeared. The waves under the trench were still swaying against the trench, and waves rose up, and rolled down like a curve with white waves rolling down.

There are more than a dozen water diggers on the lighthouse. This weather is not suitable for sailing, so there are very few ships to sail. Occasionally, some merchant ships returning to sail appear. They immediately rushed to the terminals to guide the merchant ships to the dock.

Most of these water diversion workers are on shifts, so they have just changed their duty, so they are energetic enough. In fact, they are working here, and the news is the most informative. If there is any new news in various countries in the Southeast Asian countries, what happened to each fleet recently, and whoever is worried can guess at a rough idea.

The most popular news in Quanzhou is now no longer more amazing than the prince of the Three Buddhas and Qi. The water diggers do nothing in the lighthouse, so they must mention this.

"I heard that the palace was also furious. Originally, I, the Song Dynasty, wanted to calm down the situation. After all, it was the prince. But in this situation, the prince himself admitted that it was his instructing and instructing him. Is there still room for maneuver in the matter?"

"This is also a difficult thing to protect. Although the palace is furious, it is involved in the vassal states. If you are not careful, a major event will happen. It was raining last night. Have you heard of it? Many envoys from the vassal states went to visit the prince of the Three Buddhas and Qi. What are they doing? They are not going to put pressure on our Song Dynasty together."

"That's what happened to His Majesty even cannot do anything to the prince."

"Now, it is actually waiting for King Pingxi to come back. Once King Pingxi comes back, things will be easier."

Some people talk about King Pingxi, and many water diggers nodded. Quanzhou has a heartfelt fanaticism towards Shen Ao.

"But I heard that King Pingxi was not good at going to the army in Dayue Kingdom. If there has not been any news for so long, it must be that Zheng Yue was frustrated."

Speaking of this, many people showed regret, and some people said, "I hope your highness can come back safely."

As he was speaking, a water diverter headed to the 15th floor lighthouse and saw a ship near the coast gradually sailing into the bay. The man smiled and said, "I'm here, I'll go to Pier 2, Pier 7 to guide me. Can anyone go with me?"

The others also looked over and said happily: "It's the Nanyang Navy's ship. Look, it's the gunboat, there are three. Could it be that the navy is back?"

Everyone was immediately excited, but someone frowned and said, "Why did three ships come back? Didn't the gunboats keep protecting their wings and the left and right wings? Did something really happen?"

After hearing this person's words, many water diggers became anxious. Everyone criticized the straw raincoat, took a straw hat and carried a horse lantern, all wanting to see what was going on.

The port is covered with mist and a gloomy breath is filled with.
