Chapter 440 Li Jize's Big Liar
Ou Doudou's behavior made Li Jize very unhappy. After receiving this information, he slammed the table hard and then started cursing.
"How ridiculous! I've never met someone with such poor political skills. To put it nicely, he's trustworthy, but to put it bluntly, he's an idiot! Keeping promises with the East Japanese? That's the funniest joke I've ever heard!"
Chen Yingyuan, who had been following beside him, said nothing from beginning to end, and looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Li Jize turned his head to take a look, then sat back down and said calmly, "Ying Yuan, feel free to speak up!"
"Your Highness! I think Li Jihuan might have second thoughts!"
After Chen Yingyuan said this, Li Jize looked at him in confusion, and then asked in confusion: "What do you mean by that?"
"Your Highness, Li Jihuan has people with guns, and now the Eastern Japanese are providing him with money. I'm afraid..."
A wise man stops talking before saying anything. Li Jize understood what he meant. If any armed force has guns, people and food, will it obey the court?
Like Li Jize who seized Qingzhou, he made his own weapons, collected his own taxes, and provided all the money, food, weapons, and soldiers himself. Could the imperial court still mobilize them?
Li Jize was stunned at first, then burst into laughter, shook his head and said, "Ying Yuan, you're worrying too much! I know Li Jihuan too well. He's not without ambition, he's simply stupid! Besides, if he dares to have second thoughts, the pirates under his command may not be willing to follow him!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yingyuan sighed and said, "Your Highness, what you are saying is simply that those pirates are from Qi, and Qi people all want to return to their roots. But... Your Highness, don't forget that most of these Qi people have their roots in the north!"
Li Jize: "..."
The chief think tank's words made him feel as if he had suddenly realized something.
"Ying Yuan, what you're saying is... by then, there might be a three-way collaboration between the pirates, the Eastern Japanese, and the barbarians?"
Chen Yingyuan did not respond to Li Jize's words, but it was obvious that his silence meant he agreed.
Li Jize put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth, and after thinking carefully...
It's true that what Chen Yingyuan is worried about is completely possible. If these three people work together, they will really bring themselves into huge trouble.
"Then according to you...how should we prevent them from cooperating with each other?"
"This one……"
Chen Yingyuan was about to answer when one of his men came running in to report that the eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict had arrived and had brought a Japanese man with him.
Li Jize: “???”
At this moment, Chen Yingyuan's eyes lit up and he smiled happily.
"Your Highness, our chance has come!"
"???"
……
Soon, Li Jize went to receive the imperial edict, in which the empress naturally talked about the friendship between the Dongwa people and Daqi. What do we mean by "We are the Celestial Empire, how can we do such a thing as plundering foreign countries?"
Especially these pirates, the firearms in their hands clearly flowed out from Qingzhou. Therefore, the empress hoped that Li Jize would stop selling ammunition to these pirates, and at the same time give an explanation to the East Japanese envoys.
After the imperial edict was read...
The Eastern Japanese man looked at Li Jize arrogantly and said in a very arrogant and cocky tone, "This is the order of your great emperor, you must understand!"
Li Jize had always hated the Eastern Japanese since his previous life, and now after hearing what he said, he felt even more disgusted.
What a bastard! He didn't think that the Empress's imperial edict could really scare him, did he?
Li Jize was about to teach him a lesson, but unexpectedly, Chen Yingyuan helped his master. He took the initiative to put on a smile and said, "Don't worry, envoy from the East Japan! Our King of Qin will definitely obey the orders of the Great Emperor. We can even send a navy to help you, the East Japan people, suppress the bandits!"
Ok?
This one sentence not only stunned the East Japanese, but also Li Jize. What was going on? Helping the East Japanese fight their own bandits?
But Li Jize was so smart, he was really smarter than a monkey. When Chen Yingyuan said that he wanted to help the East Japanese fight pirates, he immediately understood what was going on.
"Yes! Envoy from East Japan, we are truly sorry about this. If possible, we can help you fight the pirates!"
Li Jize also admitted this, which instantly made the East Wo envoy smile. He gave a thumbs up and said with a happy face, "Yoshi, King Qin is so kind! You are a good friend of our East Wo. If you are willing to send a navy to help us wipe out these pirates, we in East Wo will definitely be grateful to you!"
"NO gratitude! All you have to do is pay the money, and I promise to keep you, the East Japanese, safe."
"..."
Damn! The East Japanese envoy was previously happy, thinking that the people of Great Qi were truly "too kind." But when she came to file a complaint, the Empress immediately helped her issue an imperial decree, ordering the King of Qin to stop selling firearms.
When they came to the King of Qin and threatened him, he immediately sent the navy to help them eliminate the pirates in the East Japan.
The people of Qi are too frightened and too concerned about their reputation!
but now……
What's with Li Jize, the King of Qin? He has absolutely no regard for dignity, right? He's just openly asking for money. Is there really such a thing?
"King Qin, Sang! These pirates are originally from your Great Qi people. They plundered our people, and this is your responsibility. Isn't it the responsibility of your Qi court to eliminate the pirates?"
Sure enough, the East Japanese envoy wanted to get something for free, so why did he have to pay? Wouldn't it be better for him to just resort to "moral kidnapping"? After all, you, the Great Qi, are the Celestial Empire. Can you lose face?
This idea is actually not wrong. The Great Qi used to be like this, recruiting younger brothers everywhere. If a younger brother got into trouble, they would go to help him even if it meant pawning their pants. They would even choose to suffer losses themselves so that their allies would think that the Celestial Empire was cool.
But rather...
The man he met, Li Jize, was the most immoral. How could you kidnap him if he had no morals? He was the one who trained the pirates. How could such a man be kidnapped by morality?
"Hey, my friend from Dongwo! You obviously don't know that we have a rule here in Daqi."
Li Jize was not in a hurry and started to deceive people directly. If he didn't sell out this Eastern Japanese man today, Li Jize would not be called Li.
"Rules? W…what rules?"
The people of Dongwo really don't know what the rules of Da Qi are, and they are a little confused.
"Our Great Qi army is moving out. If we want to mobilize our soldiers, we must have a moving allowance!"
