Chapter 304 Fisherman (10)

"Princess Changle is the eldest princess of my Tang Dynasty. My sister has made some mistakes, but she is a member of the royal family in the lobby. For her happiness, I married her to Liu Yang, the eldest prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom. However, after Liu Guang usurped the throne, he actually took Princess Changle as his own harem. This is completely the biggest insult to my Tang Dynasty!"

"However, Liu Guang made Princess Changle the Empress, for the sake of the overall situation and the happiness of Princess Changle, and I have agreed to all this. However, Liu Gu led a group of foreign soldiers back to the Tang Dynasty, and actually humiliated Princess Changle and beheaded and displayed in public! This is a challenge to the royal family of the Tang Dynasty! It is also a challenge to the people of the Tang Dynasty. As any member of the Tang Empire, he must not agree to this point. Therefore, I decided to declare war on the Great Zhou Kingdom! Declare war on those foreigners! For the honor of my Tang Dynasty and the dignity of my Tang Dynasty, this war cannot be avoided. As every Tang Dynasty citizen, I should support my decision!"

"Everyone saw that this is the body of Princess Changle. What an insult she suffered in the Great Zhou! It was not that my subordinates risked their lives to smuggle her body back, but she was still hanging and humiliated above the gate of the Imperial City of the Great Zhou Kingdom! No people of the Tang Dynasty can tolerate this insult! We want to take revenge and make the people who insult the Tang Dynasty pay the due price! Our troops will surely travel through every inch of the Great Zhou territory and completely wash away our shame!"

The place where Li Ming is located is the Fengyutai in the inner city of the Tang Dynasty. It is a place where all kinds of important criminals are executed. The terrain is wide and can accommodate a considerable number of people. This time, it was used as a propaganda place by Li Ming.

Li Ming's appeal is amazing. I heard that he was going to meet everyone here in person. Nanguo City was almost in full swing, and tens of thousands of people surrounded the wind and rain platform. Even the nearby streets were filled with people waiting for the news. Fortunately, there was amplification equipment on site, so that every citizen in Nanguo City could hear Li Ming's speech clearly.

After careful treatment, Princess Changle's rotten corpse was wrapped in thick ice and sent to everyone. Li Ming believed that Princess Changle's experience would arouse the anger of all the people of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, the information of the Tang Dynasty was quite developed. The Tang Dynasty Daily sponsored by the Prime Minister's Office had covered all corners of the Tang Dynasty. Even in remote rural areas, there was a free newspaper reading column, and special volunteers read the contents of the newspapers were read to the people. It can be said that the Tang Dynasty Daily had become Li Ming's main mouthpiece. Through the newspaper, the people of the Tang Dynasty gradually became accustomed to joining the ranks of concern for state affairs. The current people have no similarities with the previous insensitive ones.

This generous speech at Fengyutai will be conveyed to the ears of every people through a developed information network within less than a week. Li Ming's speech, coupled with the photo of Princess Changle published in the newspaper, is believed to arouse the indignation of all the people of the Tang Dynasty. Sometimes, the public opinion controlled by those in power is very effective.

After Li Ming delivered a speech, he allowed the officials and people who came to Fengyutai to visit Princess Changle who was frozen in the ice. Li Yan's death completely angered the people at the scene. Under the leadership of the members of the Medical God Cult, a huge protest march began in Nanguo City. The people of Nanguo City put down their work and took to the streets to protest the atrocities of the Great Zhou Kingdom, demanding that the court send troops to clear the insults suffered by the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ming was very satisfied with the people's performance. He watched it on the street for several hours before he returned to the harem with satisfaction.

However, in the back garden, he felt a bad atmosphere.

Zhang Yao and Lin Long sat at a loss in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Seeing Li Ming coming back, they jumped in front of him like a flying look, their eyes full of helplessness.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Zhang Yao and Lin Long have become more and more calm after years of training, but looking at their performance today, it seems that something happened that they can't solve, and Li Ming couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Sir, go and see Man'er. She seems to be very bad." Zhang Yao's eyes were full of worry.

"Your words and deeds today made Man'er suspicious. I think with her intelligence, she will definitely connect the past. If she doesn't know how she has understood the true intention of what you did before." Lin Long whispered in a secret way.

Li Ming suddenly felt that his head was about to become big. He tried his best to hide his true intentions from Man'er, but he didn't expect that he could not hide the clever and clever Man'er in the end. He did not doubt Lin Long's words. With Lin Long's keen observation, he should not be wrong. What he is facing now is how to face Man'er and how to explain to her.

"You guys go back to the room first, I want to be alone and quiet." Li Ming sighed and waved his hand, and walked slowly towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Zhang Yao and Lin Long looked at each other with concern, and finally resisted the urge to follow.

Li Ming sat down alone in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, staring blankly at the vast green lotus leaves in the lake, his mind was in chaos. He didn't know how to explain this to Man'er, nor did he know how to remove the shadow in Man'er's heart. For the first time in so many years, he felt that he was so powerless.

Sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake for several hours, until the sun was about to set, Li Ming still had no good excuses. Looking at Zhang Yao and Lin Long who had been standing by the lake, Li Ming sighed, gritted his teeth and stood up, and walked towards Man'er's room.

Seeing Li Ming coming in, Man'er, who was sitting in the room, seemed to move for a moment, but she did not get up to greet her.

"Man'er, what happened? Why did you ignore me?" At this point, Li Ming had to pretend that he didn't know anything.

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Man'er's mouth, which made Li Ming even more nervous.

"Honey, can you be with me tonight?" Man'er's voice trembled a little.

Li Ming walked up to her gently, grabbed her cold little hand, and said softly: "Man'er, I believe you already know what happened today..."

His voice was suddenly blocked by Man'er's soft lips.

Man'er tightly wrapped around Li Ming's neck as if she was crazy, and her tongue penetrated into Li Ming's mouth, and her body became hot.

Although Li Ming was still very uneasy, he still responded enthusiastically to Man'er's passionate kiss and hugged her tightly into his arms with his hands.

That night, the two of them were as lingering as a wedding night. Man'er moaned wildly under Li Ming, responding to it, asking for it over and over again, and not sleeping in embrace each other until dawn.

Li Ming slept until midnight before he woke up. When he reached out, the beauty beside him was no longer in bed.

A bad feeling surged in his heart. He hurriedly got up and rushed out of the bedroom without even having to wash up. However, he saw Zhang Yao and Lin Long sitting there in the outer room.

"Where is Man'er?" Li Ming's voice lost the calm he deserved.

Zhang Yao stood up slowly, walked to Li Ming and gently hugged his arm, and said tremblingly: "Sir, can you sit down and calm down first? Let's talk about it after breakfast."

"Breakfast?" Li Ming's voice was crying: "I still have the heart to eat breakfast? Tell me, where is Man'er?"

Lin Long silently pulled out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Li Ming.

Li Ming trembled with his hands and pulled out the letter paper inside, and Man'er's beautiful handwriting appeared in his eyes.

"My husband, forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. Man'er has spent an extremely wonderful time by your side. This period will be unforgettable for Man'er to remember forever."

As soon as he looked at the beginning, Li Ming completely collapsed. He sat on the ground and tears fell down involuntarily.

Zhang Yao was about to come forward and help him up with tears on her face, but Lin Long stopped him.

Sitting on the ground for a long time, Li Ming then picked up the letter paper wet with tears and started reading it again.

"My husband, Man'er has always been sincere to you, and he dare not blame you at all before leaving. Although Man'er already knows that all the words you said to Man'er before were concealing your ambition to plot against the Great Zhou Kingdom, Man'er still won't blame you. As an emperor, it is understandable that he can do anything for his country. Man'er came from the Great Zhou royal family, and Man'er understands you."

"However, as a woman, Man'er not only has her husband, but also her family. Between her husband and Dazhou, Man'er was very embarrassed. Once upon a time, Man'er was sincerely happy about his husband's understanding of justice, and was also relieved of his husband's decision to give up occupying Dazhou for Man'er. However, all this was just a moon in the water. When Man'er knew that all that you were talking about was just a deceiving Man'er, or even using Man'er, did you know how uncomfortable Man'er felt?"

"As an emperor, your actions today are indeed very exciting, but have you forgotten? Man'er is an intelligence analysis expert in your mouth. Based on your actions today, plus what you said and done to Man'er before, can't Man'er analyze your true intentions? My husband, why do you do what you have done today? Isn't it good to keep Man'er in the dark all your life? Why break the hope in Man'er's heart?"

"My husband, Man'er decided to leave here. It's not that he hates you or blames you. It's because Man'er can't bear to see the battle between you and your father happen again. Man'er decided to avoid this moment that made Man'er in a dilemma and completely get rid of the things that bother Man'er. Mr., don't blame Man'er, Man'er is forced to do this."

"Didn't you notice it? Since you became the emperor, your personality has changed so much. You, who were honest, tolerant, simple and kind in the past, have completely become a sinister and vicious person. Your changes have made Man'er really painful. Although you know that this is a necessary change to be an emperor, Man'er really doesn't want this change to appear on you. For our son, Man'er took Chun'er away. I want to raise him alone and make him the person you used to be. Man'er can't bear to let him become what you are now in this big dye vat of the palace."

"But don't worry, Man'er will raise him until he is sixteen. After he is sixteen, he will return to your side. I hope you can still recognize his son at that time."

After reading this heartbroken letter from Li Ming, Li Ming stood up silently and walked into Man'er's bedroom for two days.

Man'er may not have done anything wrong. Li Ming's previous actions were indeed to hide his ambition to seek the Great Zhou in front of her. He thought he was doing it without knowing it, but he did not expect that after strict training, Man'er still got the real situation from all kinds of clues. Is this result his own consequence?

He admitted that since he became emperor, his ambitions have grown increasingly, but can he blame him? As the king of a country, it is understandable to make such changes for his country. He does not think there is nothing wrong with this. However, Man'er's departure has a direct relationship with his changes. Can the beauty of the country really not have both? Li Ming was completely confused.

Two days later, Li Ming, with a haggard face, walked out of Man'er's bedroom, forced himself to devote himself to busy government affairs, and tried to use crazy work to cover up the pain in his heart.

As Li Ming expected, after he delivered this speech that indignated all the people of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ming's order to increase military rations was not resisted. The people who had basically solved the problem of food and clothing had already linked their destiny with the Tang Dynasty and were able to share the honor and disgrace with the Tang Dynasty. When they heard that they wanted to increase military rations, they all seemed very enthusiastic. The military rations for this expropriation were collected in just one month.

During this period, the busy Li Ming gradually walked out of the shadow of Man'er's departure and returned to normal, but in his eyes, there was a trace of indifference that had never been before.

After everything was ready, Li Ming went to Mengyin border and held a massive mobilization meeting on the huge school ground.

This time when we went to the Great Zhou Dynasty, we were expected to dispatch more than two legions, totaling 600,000 troops. This is a huge momentum for the Tang army equipped with advanced weapons. Wang Wen's first legion will be the main force of this offensive. The Third Legion, as a follow-up force, will provide sufficient reserves for this offensive. It can be said that the Tang army equipped with modern weapons will have no reason to fail.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty's air force had equipped ten bombers. Relying on Mengyin Airport and Tuhu Airport, the strike range could cover the entire Great Zhou. Although they had almost no intelligence power in the Great Zhou at present, they could still have an incomparable advantage in battlefield information with the reconnaissance airships floating in the air.
