Mr. Huang Pu was still a hero in his bones. He was already 70% drunk. He sat opposite the emperor and drank three more glasses of wine. He no longer had any worries.

"Why should I stay?" Huang Pugong asked back, his face still blushed, but he no longer had the humility and inferiority of his slaves, and he replaced it with a fearless and free and easy manner. "The entire court is the emperor who can only look down on me. If I stay, I will make things difficult for Your Majesty to fight against the court because of me. I am in a dilemma, because I am not good at doing this. If I throw me into the battlefield, I am sure to give you my Majesty a reward. If you throw me into the court, you will be the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is not even aware of how he dies."

"I have had conflicts with the court for a long time and have little to do with General Huang."

Huang Pugong shook his head, "Then I don't want to participate. Your Majesty has done me kindness. I can't watch it, but I really can't help." Huang Pugong shook his head vigorously again, "Send me to the sea. Your Majesty, I'm about to get married. She is a person with a family and a family. She will stay in Da Chu."

"Yiyue?" Han Ruzi asked.

Huang Pugong nodded, "She is a good girl. She is wronged when she marrys me, so please give her more rewards. If she makes a mistake in the future, as long as it is not a big mistake of rebellion, please forgive her."

Han Ruzi laughed and drank a glass of wine, "I really don't want General Huang to leave. The gods and ghosts and great Shanyu will not come. The world will be peaceful. If they come, Da Chu will not be afraid of him. General Huang doesn't need to do anything to stay. It's just to lead the army to fight and ensure that this army does not participate in court disputes."

"Just think I am a wild beast. It was His Majesty who untied the rope around my neck, put me in the wild, restored me to wildness, and then let me stay aside as a loyal dog. I really can't do it. I should go to the sea to rush. Only when I think about the possibility of storms tomorrow, even if the ship is destroyed and the people are killed, can I get excited. To be honest, I spent two days in His Majesty's camp, and I even miss the days of being a prisoner on the side of the pirates."

Han Ruzi laughed again, "What else can I say when General Huang talks about this? Come on, drink this cup, and I will regard it as my seeing off for the general."

The king and his minister raised their glasses at the same time. Just as they were about to drink, Luan Kai, who was on the other side, suddenly slapped his knees, frightened the guards next to him, and all reached out to hold the knife.

"I want to go out to sea too!" Luan Kai grabbed the wine pot, "Going out to sea with General Huang, he is a wild beast, so do I. Although he eats well and dresses well, it is too boring."

Han Ruzi glanced at Luan Kai sideways, "General Huang will lead troops to fight. What else can you do be an assassin?"

Luan Kai thought blankly for a while, then turned to ask Huang Pugong: "What can I do?"

Huang Pugong nodded, "I really need such a person. When my minions and pirates are not convinced, you can help me suppress it."

"Do you kill someone?"

"Um."

Luan Kai raised his neck and drank the remaining half pot of wine, threw it on the ground, "That's it! Your Majesty, I have no wife to leave..." He glanced at him, "Wang He is not good to me, if you have any rewards, give it to him. If he makes a mistake, don't kill me, wait for me to come back."

Wang He was blushing, but he did not dare to attack in front of the emperor. He could only glare at Luan Kai. The others were laughing, even a few guards were no exception.

Han Ruzi waved to let Luan Kai sit down, drank the wine with Huang Pugong, and sighed: "It seems that I can't keep anyone."

"The emperor is determined to be in all directions. Wherever we go, we are the great Chu country. No matter how far we go, we are your ministers. I have learned a song at sea and I am willing to show my ugliness to Your Majesty."

Huang Pu Gonghao was very arrogant and said to a guard: "Please borrow a knife and use it as a musical instrument."

The guard looked at Wang He, and Wang He looked at the emperor. After receiving the gesture, the guard gently drew his sword and held it in both hands to send it over. Wang He and a guard stepped forward and approached the emperor.

Huang Pugong leaned over his knees, picked up a chopstick in his left hand, and knocked on the blade. After a few sounds, it became a little vaguely tune. Then he sang at the top of his voice, neither gentle nor beautiful, nor like a song, but more like standing on the bow of the boat and shouting at the endless ocean.

He used the dialect of Donghai Kingdom. Han Ruzi and others didn't understand it very well, so they only understood the general meaning. It was that a man went out to sea to travel, caring about his parents and young wife. The wind and waves were strong at sea, but the man had greater ambitions and must make a name for himself and return home with a boat full of gold and silver.

After listening for a while, Luan Kai actually picked up the chopsticks and tapped the wine glass from time to time to reconcile with Huang Pugong's tone.

Huang Pugong looked at him to show encouragement.

When the second half of the verse was reached, the song changed, low and sad. The man unfortunately died at sea. The man on the boat brought the news of his death to his family, calling him a "man who rides the wind and waves, and keeps his soul in the sea."

After a song, everyone in the tent was sad and excited, and a heat surged in his heart. Duke Huang Pu sighed, "I have been a pirate for ten years and a slave for ten years. One is extremely dangerous and the other is extremely stable. I don't say which one is better or which one is bad, but I am more suitable for being at sea. Your Majesty's great kindness and virtue, Duke Huang Pu can't repay you. I only hope that in a few years, the countries on the sea will not only know the great Chu, but also the reputation of my emperor of Great Chu."

Huang Pugong left the seat, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and Luan Kai followed suit.

Han Ruzi personally helped the two of them up, "Dejun and others are enough to prove that the Great Chu is not old."

The three of them sat down to drink again and talked about everything. Han Ruzi was also a little drunk and ordered the guards to untie their waists and come to drink together. It was not until the sky was bright and the night drink ended.

Han Ruzi returned to the tent and fell asleep. Zhang Youcai and others got up shortly after getting up. He heard that what happened last night was both unexpected and worried. He accused the guards and then changed clothes for the emperor to make the emperor sleep more comfortable.

Concubine Shu Deng Yun also got up, looking at the sleeping emperor with a smile on her face, and seemed to appreciate this move.

"Empress Shufei, when His Majesty wakes up and sees you, he doesn't think he did something wrong last night." Zhang Youcai said dissatisfiedly, only he dares to speak like this to Concubine Shufei.

Deng Yun smiled and said, "What's wrong? The emperor is also a human being. He is tense every day. Who can stand it? Besides, Your Majesty is not a child. You don't know whether it is right or wrong? You go out and I will serve Your Majesty."

Zhang Youcai and others had to withdraw and leave two palace maids to help Shufei.

The news that the emperor was drunk quickly spread, and everyone was shocked. Since the tour, the emperor has seen the accompanying officials first and many consultants every morning, and has never stopped. There has been occasional changes. It is also the emperor who wants to meet an important person. Such indulgence is the first time for such an indulgent behavior.

It was noon when the sun was approaching, and Han Ruzi finally woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Concubine Shu kneeling beside him and smiling.

"When is it?" Han Ruzi was shocked and sat up, feeling dizzy.

"It's almost noon. Your Majesty, don't get up in a hurry, be careful to shake it." Concubine Shu supported the emperor.

"Today's morning court..."

"Minister can wait. There is really a big deal and important matters. Zhang Youcai will come to wake up Your Majesty."

Han Ruzi breathed a sigh of relief, really didn't want to move, "Give me some water."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Deng Yun got out of bed and poured tea himself, and asked the palace maid to bring the sobering soup that had been prepared long ago.

After Han Ruzi drank it, she felt more comfortable and said apologetically: "I didn't want to drink, I was careless for a moment..."

"Drinking with ease is the most interesting thing about this kind of wine. Whenever you have fun, it is like being in a cloud and being a god."

Han Ruzi smiled. Concubine Shu loves to drink, but she rarely touches alcohol since she went on tour.

"The gods are free, but the emperor is not free. I should be the emperor." Han Ruzi got out of bed, put on her clothes and boots, and walked out of the tent to meet with Zhang Youcai and others.

The atmosphere of the court meeting today is a bit subtle, and the officials are as respectful as usual, but people often glance at the emperor quickly, as if everyone is learning Nanzhi spirit and trying hard to figure out the emperor's wishes.

There was indeed nothing big, so Han Ruzi announced that General Huang Pugong of the Lou Ship would recruit pirates, travel west on a boat, and declare the goodwill of the Great Chu to the countries on the sea.

The important officials were not present, and no one opposed the emperor's decision. The officials of the Ministry of War received the order and immediately drafted the imperial edict.

In the afternoon of that day, Huang Pugong received the imperial edict and went to find Luan Kai, and wanted to take him to set off. This trip was just to recruit pirates. It is still to be decided when he would set off. There are many etiquettes to leave for his marriage with Yaoyue, and he would not be able to get married without ten days or half a month.

Luan Kai was sleeping to death, and was pulled up by Huang Pugong, looking confused, "What are you doing?"

"Set off."

“Where to go?”

"maritime."

"Why go to the sea?"

"Aren't you going to go out to sea with me and be a minion for me?"

"Did I say it? When?"

"When I drank with His Majesty last night."

"I can't remember it, but let's go." Luan Kai took nothing and set off with Huang Pugong alone.

Han Ruzi did not see him off. He spent the whole afternoon checking the memorial in the study tent, without seeing anyone.

The resignation memorials of the ministers in the capital have come. There are not many, but there are three copies in total, from different departments and departments. They all have positions in the third and fourth ranks, neither high nor low, and they are not even considered as pioneers. They are just scouts who come to inquire about the situation.

Han Ruzi suppressed the refusal to make a reply, and wrote several imperial edicts in person, one for the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, asking the two ministries to find out the situation in the Western Regions and the whereabouts of general Deng Cui as soon as possible, and to Zongzheng's mansion, and to Zongzhengqing supervise the children of the royal family to hand over the privately stored slaves, and to Chai Yue outside the Great Wall, and ordered him to enter the pass immediately to see the driver, and another for the accompanying officials, saying that he would set out in three days and continue the patrol trip.

When the eunuchs brought out the imperial edict, they naturally re-copied it and sent it back to the emperor. After stamping the seal, it became a formal decree and distributed to all parties.

Before nightfall, Han Ruzi summoned Nan Zhijin and said to him: "You go back to the capital and say whatever you want to say to the ministers."

Nan Zhijin was slightly stunned, feeling that today's emperor had changed again, which made people more and more inconspicuous, "Your Majesty..."

"The minister may not believe you. You have to find a way to regain their trust. As for what you want to say, I have a sentence for you, 'A man who rides the wind and waves, keeps his soul in the sea'. It is said that this is a pirate poem, I will use it. Do I care about the Great Chu? To be honest, I don't know what the Great Chu is, where it is, and everyone talks about it, but no one can tell what it is. In any case, I want to achieve something, and this achievement is the Great Chu, and my 'Sea' for me." (To be continued.)
