The most arrogant in history

Chapter 755: Restrain your edge.

Before leaving, Ye Kun comforted the Xiahou sisters:

"The dead cannot be resurrected, so you sisters should mourn for your father. Just concentrate on the funeral and make all the arrangements. If there is any inconvenience, please send someone to inform me."

The Xiahou sisters thanked Ye Kun and sent him off respectfully.

Prince Ye Feng quietly asked Ye Kun: "Father, Xiahou Chang is also the father of the imperial concubine. Do you want me to go to the funeral?"

"No need, you can just go and pay your respects."

Ye Kun shook his head: "State affairs are more important. There are still a lot of things waiting for you in the imperial study."

During this period, Ye Kun paid great attention to the training of Crown Prince Ye Feng.

He wished he could become experienced all of a sudden so that he could escape and wander overseas.

But the prince does not have enough experience and needs a few more years of support, which makes Ye Kun anxious.

In the imperial study, Jasmine was sorting out telegrams. Seeing Ye Kun coming back, she stepped forward to report:

"Your Majesty, Lu Kaijiang sent a telegram saying that the pirates who looted Zhangtou Port last time, led by more than ten people, have been captured..."

"Really? Show me the telegram."

Ye Kun was overjoyed.

The telegram was written in great detail. Lu Kaijiang led his troops to pursue the enemy to Luzon Island and discovered that the five brothers of the Zhao family had already established a base camp there.

Judging from the local construction, there are many sturdy stone houses and well-cultivated land covered with crops.

There were also many local natives and foreign sea slaves who were controlled by the five Zhao brothers and were forced to do hard labor there.

Even a small port was built with fortifications.

The base has a permanent population of about three thousand.

Lu Kaijiang judged that the five brothers of the Zhao family had planned to immigrate overseas at least two years ago and had begun to gradually build Luzon Island.

If the base of the five Zhao brothers had not been discovered this time, in a few years, they could even control the entire island, establish a country, and ascend the throne to become emperor!

Seeing this, Ye Kun smiled bitterly and exclaimed repeatedly: "Talents, the five brothers of the Zhao family, talents!"

Continuing to read the telegram, Lu Kaijiang said that they launched an attack at night and used intensive firepower to wipe out the 100-man armed team formed by the Zhao brothers, killing two of the Zhao brothers on the spot and capturing three alive.

Most of the other people in the pirate base were controlled, but three or four hundred people escaped overnight.

After some discussion, Ye Kun and his son Ye Feng called Lu Kaijiang back and ordered him to bring back all the Chinese on the island, and to leave the natives and sea slaves who had been controlled by the Zhao brothers on the island.

Order Lu Kaijiang to stay on the island temporarily and continue to hunt down the remnants of the Zhao brothers who had escaped, take over and maintain the base built by the Zhao brothers, and declare China's sovereignty.

Originally, Ye Kun wanted to wait a few years before developing the South Pacific islands.

Since the Zhao brothers have already built a base there, I might as well take it over.

Ye Feng said: "Father, this Luzon Island is very big, much bigger than Izu Island. It is better to divide it among other princes and send troops to garrison it, so that it can be safe."

Ye Kun pondered and said, "Which prince do you think is more suitable?"

Xie Baochan's son went to the Persian Gulf;

Liu Yuejuan's son went to the island of Ceylon;

I took my son to Taiwan and Penghu;

Ye Feng asked for advice: "Can we let King Jing Wei Ning take his former subordinates from Jingzhou to protect Concubine Qin and her prince and settle down on Luzon Island?"

Concubine Qin refers to Wei Caiqin.

But her prince was only thirteen years old, obviously too young.

Ye Kun shook his head: "Ma Jiaojiao has been with me for more than 20 years. Her child is kind and honest. He can go to Luzon Island and become an overseas king."

Ma Jiaojiao's eldest son, named Ye Pingsheng, was born in Pingye County.

The second son, Ye Dongsheng, was born in Dongba County.

Moreover, these two children are slightly younger than Ye Feng and are already adults.

Because their mother came from a poor family, Ye Pingsheng and Ye Dongsheng are also very low-key and taciturn.

Study hard, but your grades are not outstanding;

He is very obedient, but there is nothing special about him.

The eldest son, Ye Pingsheng, was married, became the prefect of Yecheng County, and had two sons.

The second son, Ye Dongsheng, is now a naval lieutenant. He leads troops in training at the Port of Tianjin. He is also married and has a daughter.

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Pingsheng and Dongsheng are fine, but I'm afraid they are too honest and don't have relatives or confidants to support them, so they can't control others."

"Feng'er, you are wrong." Ye Kun smiled:

"Pingsheng and Dongsheng are both very smart. They know how to keep a low profile and protect themselves. If they were both like Shusheng, showing off their talents, you might not be able to tolerate them in the future."

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Father, you can tolerate Xiahou Chang and Xiao Dequan, so why can't I tolerate my brothers?"

"It's a different time now. You're still young now, and your brothers are in harmony. But in another 20 or 30 years, who can guarantee that the situation won't change, and your ideas won't change?"

Ye Kun sighed: "The best way to make you brothers live in harmony is to separate you. At that time, your brothers were all overseas, paying tribute every year. You couldn't punish them for no reason. And they were busy with construction and development overseas, and it was impossible for them to come back and compete with you for the throne."

Ye Feng nodded: "Thank you, father, for considering us brothers."

Ye Kun waved his hand: "Tell Pingsheng and Dongsheng to come back to see me immediately. I will go back in the evening and talk to Madam Ma."

Ye Feng stood up and went to send a telegram.

In fact, Ye Feng felt that Ye Pingsheng and Ye Dongsheng were kind and wanted to stay and help him.

But his father had made up his mind, so he couldn't say much.

Ma Jiaojiao is also very low-key in the palace.

Every day she would just take a few palace maids with her, do some needlework, or clean the house herself and take care of a small vegetable garden.

On the first day of every ten days, Ma Jiaojiao would bring the little princess to Fengyi Palace to pay a visit to Jiang Yourong.

Ye Kun walked into Ma Jiaojiao's yard and saw Ma Jiaojiao in the glass greenhouse, checking the growth of cucumbers and catching insects with tweezers.

"My queen, you have worked hard in the vegetable garden. Please don't get too tired."

"Oh, why is the emperor here?"

Ma Jiaojiao was startled, dropped the tweezers, wiped her hands on her apron, and said with a smile: "What kind of wind brought the emperor here today?"

"I missed you, so I came to see you." Ye Kun smiled and took Ma Jiaojiao's hand:

"I'll have dinner with you tonight and we can have a good chat. Pingsheng and Dongsheng are both working outside, and I'm afraid you'll be too lonely."

Ma Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am not alone either. I often play mahjong."

"That's good. I'll play poker with you tonight."

Ye Kun smiled, ordered the kitchen to prepare a few dishes, and invited Jiang Yourong to come over for dinner.

Ma Jiaojiao seemed to have sensed something and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, is there any happy event today?"

"Happy events happen every day, but today is especially big."

Ye Kun laughed: "I found an overseas fiefdom for Pingsheng and Dongsheng. It is twice as large as Izu Island. It is very rich in resources and can support 50 million people."

Ma Jiaojiao was stunned, her eyes full of surprise: "Pingsheng and Dongsheng can also... have fiefs and be crowned kings overseas?"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Of course, my princes will have overseas fiefs in the future, and they will all become kings of China's vassal states!"
