Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 547 King Qi is a wild horse, and my daughter is the reins [1st update]

Hua Rong was so moved by Cai Fu's words that she bowed her head to him with big, watery eyes.

"I will certainly live up to my master's expectations!"

Cai Fuyi helped Hua Rong up with both hands: "I'll send my deputy to help you later."

"Li Shufu's foreign territory and Nanning Prefecture can support each other and help each other. It will not be easy for the court or the Great Ideal to harm Nanning Prefecture."

"In your position, your greatest enemy may be the Dali Kingdom."

"Pay close attention to the movements of the Dali Kingdom. I'll have Shi Qian send spies to Dali to gather intelligence for you later..."

Cai Fu felt he was being a bit long-winded, but listening to Hua Rong, a warm feeling welled up inside him.

After making arrangements for Hua Rong and giving instructions to Li Shufu, Cai Fu was about to take Lady Chai and Chai Paifu back to the State of Chu.

Li Shufu also wanted to go to the Central Plains with Cai Fu, but Cai Fu refused.

The main problem is that there's no other foreign power that can keep things in check, and the Black Dragon hasn't even been born yet.

Therefore, Li Shufu still had to stay and manage foreign affairs, in order to help defend against Hua Rong.

"Little Jinzi, your handwriting has improved a lot!"

Emperor Huizong of Song accepted the calligraphy scroll from his daughter Zhao Fujin, admired it for a while, and stroked his beard with great approval:

"It's just like my father's level thirty years ago, wonderful!"

Zhao Fujin was originally in a good mood, but after being praised by Emperor Huizong, her little mouth twitched slightly.

No, are you praising me or praising yourself?

Thirty years ago, you were only nine years old, and you already had the level I have now at eighteen?
Then what's the point of me practicing?!
However, Zhao Fujin certainly couldn't criticize Emperor Huizong to his face, so he said with a smile:
"Thank you for your kind words, Father. I am far inferior to you!"

Emperor Huizong laughed heartily. Just then, the four treacherous ministers rushed in excitedly to report the good news.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Cai Jing said with a beaming smile, "The King of Qi has quelled the rebellion of Prince Qing of Huaixi!"

Upon hearing that it was her fiancé, Zhao Fujin's little ears perked up.

"So fast?"

Emperor Huizong of Song could hardly believe his ears:

"The King of Qi has only been gone a few days, yet he has already quelled the rebellion of Wang Qing?"

Gao Qiu lowered his head and dared not utter a sound; he was the only one of the four treacherous ministers who was not in a hurry.

Because when he went to Huaixi to quell the rebellion, he not only consumed a lot of troops, money, and provisions, but also failed to quell the rebellion.

Compared to Cai Fu, he was a joke.

Gao Qiu originally begged Cai Jing to suppress the news of the victory and report it to Emperor Huizong of Song some time later.

Not for any other reason than to make him seem less useless.

Cai Jing then said, "How can such a big matter be delayed?"

Gao Qiu had no choice but to come along, so that he could argue with Emperor Huizong face to face.

Emperor Huizong indeed connected the matter to Gao Qiu: "Gao Qing, why did you go to Huaixi to quell the rebellion before..."

"Your Majesty, please allow me to explain. The Prince of Qi possesses the courage to fight ten thousand men!"

"With countless fierce generals and elite troops under his command, he is invincible in every battle and unconquerable in every attack!"

Gao Qiu decisively transformed into a "Cai fanboy," grinning with a pair of large silver teeth in a wry smile:

"Although I am also skilled in military campaigns and troop deployment, I am ultimately slightly inferior to King Qi..."

Zhao Fujin loved listening to him boast about Cai Fu. Emperor Huizong didn't let her leave, but relying on being his most beloved daughter, she refused to go.

Sure enough, she heard about Cai Fu's news, and Gao Qiu's flattery made her beam with joy, her eyes sparkling with delight.

Emperor Huizong's expression darkened: "Invincible in battle, unconquerable in attack..."

After he said that, none of the four treacherous officials dared to respond.

Although Zhao Fujin was a woman, she was born into an imperial family. How could she not know that Cai Fu's power made Emperor Huizong of Song very wary?
Seeing that no one spoke up for Cai Fu, Zhao Fujin, in desperation, had no choice but to disregard propriety and risk taking the plunge:

"Father, the Prince Consort is invincible in battle and can help you expand your territory and become famous overseas!"

"With his daughter around, he will surely be loyal to his father!"

"Ok?"

After Zhao Fujin said this, Emperor Huizong felt much better:

Yes, the King of Qi is my son-in-law!

King Qi is indeed a wild horse, but my daughter is the reins!
The reins are in my hands, what do I have to fear?
Emperor Huizong of Song carefully examined Zhao Fujin. As the saying goes, a girl changes a lot as she grows up, and his daughter was becoming more and more beautiful!
Because Emperor Huizong watched Zhao Fujin grow up, he always considered Zhao Fujin a child.

It was only then that she realized that even Li Shishi, the most famous courtesan in the Song Dynasty, couldn't outshine Zhao Fujin in terms of looks.

However, Li Shishi had already cultivated herself into a fox spirit, and every frown and smile of hers was captivating and bewitching.

Zhao Fujin was still a young girl and certainly couldn't compare to Li Shishi, but she possessed the aura of an empress.

Every frown and smile reflects the prosperity of the nation and the peace of the country!
My daughter is so beautiful that she could topple kingdoms. If the King of Qi marries my daughter, how could he possibly disobey my orders?

It's a pity my daughter can't be the principal wife...

But that's alright, Emperor Huizong of Song had plenty of experience in this area:
As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a maid, a maid is not as good as a prostitute, and a prostitute is not as good as a stolen affair...

No king ever favors his wife the most!

Seeing Emperor Huizong's anger turn to joy, the four treacherous ministers exchanged glances:
How can you be happy when your little cotton-padded jacket is letting in the wind!
She's not even married yet, and she's already speaking up for her husband's family. What will happen after she's married?

The key is that Emperor Huizong liked what Zhao Fujin said. What could the four treacherous ministers do? They were father and son!

Considering the relationship between Zhao Fujin and Cai Fu, Emperor Huizong did not let her leave, and then questioned the four treacherous officials:
"Now that the King of Qi has quelled Wang Qing's rebellion, have the eight prefectures that Wang Qing seized been recovered?"

The four treacherous officials looked at each other in bewilderment. Tong Guan, forcing a smile, said:
"King Qi has already stationed troops in eight prefectures..."

"what?"

Emperor Huizong of Song flew into a rage and slammed his hand on the table:
"On what grounds does he station troops?"

Why? Because he's good at fighting!
The four treacherous officials remained silent, waiting for Zhao Fujin to step forward and take the blame.

Zhao Fujin dared not contradict her; she wasn't courting death, so how could she just interrupt?

Emperor Huizong, in a fit of impotence and rage, asked the four treacherous ministers:

"What do you suggest we do?"

The four treacherous officials were speechless, and in the end, it was Cai Jing who was left speechless:

"Your Majesty, since the Prince of Qi is brave and skilled in battle, why not let him attack the Liao Kingdom?"

"Just then, the Jin Kingdom sent an envoy with a letter of invitation, inviting our country to a hunt in the northern frontier..."

"Wonderful!"

Emperor Huizong's eyes lit up; he understood Cai Jing's meaning:
This move is both "using someone else's knife to kill someone" and "killing two birds with one stone"!
If Cai Fu were to die in the Liao Kingdom, he would be rid of one of his biggest threats!
If Cai Fu had joined forces with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty, then at least ten or eight prefectures would have been recovered, right?
Emperor Huizong of Song (Zhao Ji) was hailed by historians as "the greatest emperor of all time".
"That's it!"

Emperor Huizong slapped his thigh in excitement:
"If the King of Qi is willing to attack the Liao Kingdom, those eight prefectures will be his!"

The four treacherous ministers all said that His Majesty was wise.

After the four treacherous ministers left, Zhao Fujin also bid farewell to Emperor Huizong of Song with deep concern.

Zhao Fujin had just left when Cai Jing came back alone.
