Facing the civil and military forces, Xiao Wenxuan threw the fold at the feet of the third prince.

"Look, this is the excerpt that King Wei just made, this is the King of Chu that you have defended in every possible way, and your uncle has embarrassed me like this." Xiao Wenxuan said angrily.

The third prince's face turned a little pale, he squatted down to pick up the fold, and his face changed just by scanning the contents on it.

The fourth prince glanced at the expression of the third prince, and his face was teasing, now that there is no second prince in the court, the prince's position is stable, and he can only compete with the third prince.

Even if he can't be the emperor in the future, he hopes to show his performance so that Xiao Wenxuan can seal a rich fief.

"Father, although my uncle lost to the Dutch, he also went to war with the Dutch for the sake of the face of the Great Yu Kingdom. The third prince said urgently.

He knows very well that he can now be like a fish in water in the court, all because of the support of the King of Chu behind his back, and this time the King of Chu lost to the Dutch, which must have made the King of Chu a little lighter in the hearts of the courtiers.

In particular, the loss of hundreds of warships to a mere ten Dutch warships was particularly dazzling.

"The three princes are really clever and tongue-in-cheek, the king of Chu is so disgraceful and humiliating, but he is said to be a national hero by His Royal Highness, shameful!" A red-robed official said angrily.

After this official spoke out, the four princes smiled, the northern vassal kings and the southern vassal kings have always been wrong, because they both understand what the king of Chu has done all these years, and what they hope is that the north will be in chaos.

Now that the king of Chu was defeated by the Dutch, they were naturally very happy and took the opportunity to sneer.

When the third prince heard this, his face immediately turned the same as a pig's liver, but he also knew that he was at a loss this time, but he was not the master who was bullied, and said angrily: "Zheng Hongwen, don't say cool words, the king of Chu can at least fight with the Dutch, you can only hide behind and watch the jokes, with this ability, which of you dares to fight with the Dutch!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the court fell silent, and the third prince immediately sneered when he saw this, "What! Does no one dare? ”

Xiao Wenxuan frowned when he heard this, there has always been no regular naval army in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and if you say that there are only the kings of Chu, the kings of Wei and the kings of Yan. ’

Among them, the King of Wei and the King of Chu Linhai are also the two most powerful, and now the King of Chu has been defeated, and now there is only the King of Wei left, because according to his understanding, only the King of Wei has a fleet of no small size.

It's just that he knows that the King of Chu can't do the things that the King of Wei can't do either, and now the three princes' reproaches have made all the ministers speechless, and he is also gloomy.

"Is there no one in the entire Great Chongqing Kingdom who can fight with the Dutch?" Xiao Wenxuan also asked.

The third prince said at this time: "Father, the fief of the king of Qi is also facing the sea, and the king of Qi can drive away the barbarians, but he may not be able to drive away the Dutch, so it is better to let the king of Qi try." ”

"It's ridiculous, King Qi's fief has just been stable for two years, and now why are the battleships fighting against the Dutch." Fiji said: "The third prince, now it is the defeat of the king of Chu, and now he is talking about the unfair treaty proposed by the Dutch. ”

"It is precisely that now the Dutch are asking the emperor through the king of Chu to exempt the Dayu Kingdom from the taxes of the Dutch, and to open the six coastal cities as trade points, and at the same time not to levy taxes on the goods of the Dutch, this unfair treaty is the fault of the king of Chu."

"That's it, what do you say, Third Prince!"

“……”

The court was suddenly in chaos.

The face of the third prince became more and more ugly, this time the Dutch defeated the king of Chu and demanded that the entire Dayu country become the most favored country of the Dutch like Chudi, which is no longer a matter of Chudi, but a matter of the entire Dayu country.

Now that the imperial court has just gotten rid of the barbarians' annual tribute, and now it is facing such a humiliating treaty, this contradiction will naturally focus on the king of Chu.

"Father, for the sake of today, I can only temporarily agree to the request of the Dutch, now there is no naval army in Dayu that can defeat the Dutch, if you don't agree, the Dutch will continue to harass the coast." The third prince hesitated.

When Luo Quan heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Your Majesty, by all means, the Great Yu Kingdom has just defeated the barbarians, how can it suffer such humiliation now, the king of Chu's ships have only lost one-tenth of it and still have the strength to fight again, let the king of Chu continue to fight with the Dutch, and at the same time let the king of Wei and the king of Chu cooperate to attack the Dutch together." ”

Xiao Wenxuan frowned, he looked at the third prince, and then at the angry courtiers, he said: "Don't quarrel anymore, Rong Zhen will think about this matter and discuss it again, is there anything else?" If not, let's disperse. ”

At this time, Fiji came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a happy event. ”

"What a happy event, say." Xiao Wenxuan's expression softened.

Fiji said: "Your Majesty, recently from the fiefdom of King Qi came a thing called potatoes, this kind of thing tastes good, now there are many merchants in Chang'an to sell it, I don't know if the emperor has eaten it." ”

"Hahaha, I've been eating for the past two days, King Qi ordered someone to send me some, and explained how to eat it, I've never tasted this kind of thing, I never thought that this potato fried fries are quite my appetite."

Speaking of this, Xiao Wenxuan's mood was a little happier, and only King Qi could make him happy among the princes.

Fiji smiled, "The minister also ate some, this taste is indeed extraordinary, but it is said that this potato came from overseas, and it was snatched by the king of Qi from the hands of the barbarians." ”

"Robbed?" Xiao Wenxuan was taken aback.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is said that the King of Qi sent three warships to the South Seas and sank the warships of foreign barbarians in the South Seas, and it is said that these barbarians and the Dutch are from the same place." Fiji said.

"Oh? And what else is there? Xiao Wenxuan didn't know at all.

Fiji nodded, "This is an interesting story that the little girl said to the minister when she wrote to me, I didn't expect the King of Qi to be so brave at sea." ”

"So, can King Qi defeat the Dutch?" The third prince said disdainfully.

"It may not be possible, it's just that the emperor, Qi has always lacked shipyards, if the imperial court can help King Qi build a shipbuilding workshop, it can't be said that King Qi can also do something at sea." Fiji said.

Fei Yue'er did send him a letter this time, but the content of the letter was instructed by Xiao Ming.

When he learned of the defeat of the King of Chu, Xiao Ming asked Fei Yue'er to send the letter to Chang'an, taking the opportunity to ask the imperial court to support the shipyard in Qingzhou.

It is for this purpose that he brings up this matter at this time.

Xiao Wenxuan's expression moved slightly, the King of Chu couldn't believe it, and the King of Wei couldn't believe it now, only Xiao Ming had confidence, so he said: "What Fei Zhongshu said makes sense, no matter what, you must not compromise with the Dutch this time." ”
