The Great Seminary

Chapter 310 Cruel people
After being shocked, Zhang Gui, who was huddled in a corner of the grand conference hall, thought about it again.

Historically, there were actually many monarchs who wore "white dragon and fish clothes" (a type of traditional Chinese clothing).

Although Mingren Rongyue was pretending to be his daughter, it was indeed unconventional and somewhat abrupt in terms of 'role-playing'.

But it wasn't anything outrageous, so things calmed down.

Seeing the business officer beside him listening attentively while sipping his tea.

He then picked up a cup of tea from the coffee table in front of him and pretended to sip it a few times.

Then the head of the table, 'Mingyue Zhi', said:

As the old saying goes, "Preparation is the key to success, and lack of preparation leads to failure."

Now, the True Dragon Kingdom is rising on the sea.

If the territory is limited to the outer ocean's Luanya Islands, then naturally it has nothing to do with it.

But now, Xianrong Island, one of the two giant islands in the Ming-Song Kingdom's basin in the East Inner Sea, has been renamed 'Huanglong' by you.

As another giant island, how could 'Yingri' possibly turn a blind eye?

"In that case, I will report the alliance to His Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Song Wenhua subconsciously glanced at Zhang Gui, and saw him sipping his tea and nodding slightly, as if secretly praising the sweetness of the green tea. He immediately clapped and said:

"However, this matter benefits both sides, so there shouldn't be any problems."

The Prime Minister of the True Dragon Kingdom, who had never set a precedent, suddenly adopted the demeanor of a powerful minister, which surprised Mingyue Zhi.

After a moment of contemplation, he glanced around the conference room and smiled faintly, "That would be best."

I observe that although your country is well-equipped with military strength and has no shortage of powerful armies and large ships, it seems to be a country that is "established on commerce".

Is it true that maritime trade is of paramount importance?

“Indeed, my Emperor once said, ‘To forcibly seize what can be obtained through trade is the behavior of barbarians.’”

Therefore, since my country opened its ports, it has welcomed merchants from all directions.

For example, this New World Port City, whether you're doing business or setting up shop here...

After Song Wenhua finished his rambling explanation, 'Mingyue Weaving' suddenly asked:

"Since your country is truly 'founded on commerce,' is the whale ship I saw at Bokou just now for sale?"

"Such mechanical warships are 'national treasures'."

Song Wenhua frowned slightly, noticing Zhang Gui holding his teacup calmly, and immediately asked, "What's the bid?"

“If such items were traded in gold and silver, they would easily cost hundreds of millions of taels. Even if the national treasury were emptied, it would be difficult to pay for several of them.”

So I traded rare items, precious elixirs, and cultivation techniques for them.

"I see." Song Wenhua glanced at Zhang Gui again, and seeing him take a sip of tea, nodded and said:

"That's possible, but I can't make that decision myself; it can only be decided by His Majesty."

Upon hearing this, 'Mingyue Zhi' replied nonchalantly, "That's only natural."

There is one more thing I need to clarify first: if Zhenlong forms an alliance with Yingri and is willing to sell the Great Whale Ship, then such a giant ship can no longer be sold to Ming Song.

Upon hearing this, Song Wenhua's eyes widened. Although he vaguely understood the reason, the matter was of great importance and needed to be confirmed.

So he pretended to be confused.
"This thing belongs to our true dragon; our alliance makes us equals."

"Emperor Zhenghe of the Ming Dynasty has been strangled to death by Prince Kui with a blue silk ribbon."

Within three days, King Kui will surely issue a decree to usurp the throne.

My husband, in accordance with the late Emperor Zheng's edict, resolved to restore order and rebuild the court.

Therefore, as an ally of Yingri, the True Dragon Kingdom should naturally not sell military equipment to the Ming-Song "pseudo-dynasty."

Even with Song Wenhua's intelligence, these words left him completely bewildered, speechless, and he stammered:

"Is it true that Emperor Zhenghe has passed away? Or was he murdered by Crown Prince Kui Wang?!"

"Well, even so, what does this have to do with your husband, Prince Yingri's husband?"

“My husband is the son of the late Emperor Hezheng of the Ming-Song Empire, Prince Zhen.” Upon hearing this, the surroundings fell silent.

Zhang Gui, who had been drinking tea the whole time, suddenly spat out the tea in his mouth, and it all became clear to him.
"I see!
The Japanese on Xianrong Island went to great lengths to create a ritual that ultimately required Emperor Naruto and Kogetsu to personally intervene to conclude it.

It was all designed to create a controllable, resurrected version of the King of Zhen!
The world believes that "only fame and power cannot be given to others," and after that, Prince Kui was branded as a patricide and a rebellious son.

Prince Zhen then ruled over the 'names and utensils' of the Ming and Song dynasties.

If Yingri Kingdom helps to win a few tough battles, like when the Prince of Yan swept the north, it is not impossible that the world could be pacified by a single proclamation.

Moreover, as a vassal state of the Ming-Song Kingdom, Yingri also had the legal right to help its suzerain state restore order.

Wow, that's ruthless! Mingren Rongyue is truly a ruthless person!
At a three-digit age, feeling a good opportunity has presented itself, and seizing it, it leads to the 'fate' of pretending to be a cat or a dog—that's truly ruthless!

Just then, 'Mingyue Zhi' suddenly stood up, walked straight to Zhang Gui, and asked calmly:

"Judging by your demeanor, you should hold the power of life and death over a nation. Why then do you act like a 'ghostwriter'?"
This question is based on a classical Chinese story.

The story is set in the medieval period, when Cao Cao, the powerful warlord of Wei, went to meet the envoy of the Xiongnu, a strong tribe on the vast grasslands.
He felt that although he was imposing, his appearance was quite ordinary.

So he found a burly, handsome, and extraordinary subordinate to be his stand-in.

He disguised himself as a servant, holding a large knife, and stood behind the double as a guard.

After meeting the Xiongnu envoy, Emperor Wu of Wei was curious about what kind of impression his imposter had left on the envoy.

So he sent someone to ask, "What is the character and demeanor of Emperor Wu of Wei?"

As a result, the Xiongnu envoy said: "Cao Wei Wu is indeed magnanimous and has unparalleled demeanor."

But for some reason, the person beside him who carried the knife seemed to be far superior!
At this moment, Zhang Gui's appearance has actually increased significantly due to the 'great growth' of the main divine cluster within his body, making him much taller and stronger than before.

Even close relatives might not recognize them with the naked eye at first glance.

Therefore, the officials of the True Dragon Kingdom around him were all baffled and could not recognize the 'True God'.

Only Zhang Gui himself came to his senses, realizing that pretending to be stupid would only make him look foolish, and smiled slightly:

"Naturally, it is so that it can be in harmony with the human offspring of Amaterasu Omikami;
Your Majesty, Emperor Naruto no Kageki of the Land of the Rising Sun in Dongsheng Continent, your 'role-playing game' has begun.

Mingren Rongyue paused for a moment, carefully considering the deeper meaning in Zhang Gui's words, then clapped his hands and laughed loudly:

"What a wonderful 'role-playing drama'! The True Dragon King is indeed extraordinary."

They could be my allies.

Then, looking into Zhang Gui's eyes, she asked softly, "What is your opinion, sir?"

"This, this great auspicious Jia even the heavenly position, no, the heavenly position is divided into five levels: 'small, medium, large, strong, and supreme'."

These are probably not even 'Minor Celestial Realm' level experts!

The reason I didn't feel anything when her name was mentioned before is because she is the ruler of Yingri Kingdom, and tens of millions of commoners call her name every day.

So it must have been covered up using some kind of method!

Standing in his own earthly divine kingdom, Zhang Gui sensed the terror of Mingren Rongyue, as if "ducks are the first to know when the spring river warms."

After a moment of silence, he stated his request.

"After the alliance is formed, the islands of the East Inner Sea will no longer be able to be touched by Japan."

Mingren Rongyue nodded slowly and extended his palm, saying, "This promise is granted."

Zhang Gui immediately clapped his hands, "Thus, the alliance is established."

But in his heart he thought to himself:
"When attacking a powerful nation, one should use overwhelming force!"

With your intelligence, it's no wonder you can't possibly defeat Changsheng Tiemu.

Then I'll strike while the iron is hot and show you what true power and prestige are all about.

Swallow up the sun and sever your family's 66,701st generation of society.

This guy has exploited so much of the working people's blood and tears! We absolutely have to cut him off!
