Li Zhaoyu stepped forward, took his younger brother into his arms, and said, "Xiaoqi, don't talk to his father like this."

Li Zhaoming laughed, threw away his brother and found a place to play by himself.

The Li Zhaoyu brothers and Dan Tai Yunfeng both followed Li Junwei for a long time and knew his habits. At least before, they had never seen a father who educated them seriously, but since he was so serious, it means that this was carefully considered.

On the way back, Li Junwei hugged his confused young son. Seeing Li Zhaoyu and Li Zhaocheng get into the car, he asked, "Prince of Nanzhang Wen Luo, are you familiar with him?"

"I just heard of such a person, but I haven't seen him yet." Li Zhaocheng said.

Li Zhaoyu said: "I met once in Imperial University. I had a good impression of it, but I was a little arrogant."

"Is this the same thing in front of you?" Li Junwei asked.

"No, my son is talking about it in front of other classmates." Li Zhaoyu said.

"I know Wen Luo, he is Diwen's father." Li Zhaoming suddenly said.

"Who is Diwen?" Li Junwei asked.

Li Zhaoming said: "It's a classmate from our kindergarten. He is very dark and stingy. There are elephants in their house, white, so they are not allowed to see them."

"Okay, it seems that classmates and parents can also talk." Li Junwei said. He thought for a moment and said to his eldest son: "Find an opportunity, you go and chat with Wen Luo to see if he is as obedient as his father."

Wen Luo is the prince of the Nanzhang Kingdom and has been confirmed as a heir. Unlike the heirs of many countries who have studied abroad in the empire, Wen Luo almost grew up in the empire. He came to the empire at the age of four and only left twice.

The reason for this is that starts with his grandfather.

Wen Luo's grandfather was Solinnawangsa, the lord of the revival of the Nanzhang Kingdom. Nanzhang is Laos in later generations, but not only Laos. Nanzhang in this era was almost at its peak. In addition to Laos in later generations, its territory also has western Vietnam, Cambodia and northern Thailand, which is twice as large as Laos.

The so-called Nanzhang means millions of elephants.

Thorinnawangsa reigned for fifty-seven years, which was the most prosperous era in Nanzhang's history. However, like many long-lived monarchs, he encountered the throne inheritance storm in his later years.

His eldest son executed him for adultery, and his second son Dilin fled to the Kingdom of Siam. The Kingdom of Siam accepted Dilin and had a bad intention. After the empire learned the news, Dilin was brought to the empire in the 26th year of the empire. At that time, Wen Luo followed Dilin to Shenjing with Dilin.

During the 31st year of the empire, Solinnawangsa died. Because he did not leave a will, the heroes of the country emerged. Some vassal lords and princes competed for the throne, and Siam and Annan also coveted their territory. The Nanzhang split into four kingdoms at one time.

The emperor of the empire sent troops to protect Dilin from Kowloon Province, and then went north to the south to the Zhenla Kingdom, inherited the throne in Vientiane and maintained the unity of the Nanzhang Kingdom. In order to protect Dilin's throne, the empire once stationed more than 20,000 troops in Vientiane. Until the empire forty-one years, a large-scale rebellion was eliminated and the order of the Nanzhang Kingdom was restored, and the empire took the initiative to withdraw its troops.

After the imperial dispatched troops left, King Dilin raised military expenses in China equivalent to more than 700,000 imperial silver dollars, and spent all the treasury, and sent the then prince Luce to Shenjing to thank him, but the emperor politely declined.

This incident is known in history as the Southern Plate Returning to the Mainland. It is through this incident that Emperor Li Junhua convinced all the vassal states that the empire had no ambition to covet the territories of various countries, but instead maintained order and provided a pillar of protection.

You should know that the rise of the empire not only stepped on the two dynasties of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Netherlands, Spain and other European countries, but also annexed many vassal states.

Before the establishment of the empire, the Ryukyu Kingdom, which had a long history, no longer existed. It was first transformed into the territory of the Zheng family (Zheng Cai), and later it was also called part of the Taiwan-Ryuk Province. In the early days of the former empire, the empire destroyed many sultanate countries in the Malay Peninsula and Borneo.

Among these small countries, the imperial subjects could not name them, but they actually existed for these countries on the Indochina Peninsula.

At the beginning of the establishment of the empire, the Kingdom of Korea was annexed and the three provinces and four appeasement zones were established. As for the period from the expedition of King Yu to the restructuring of foreign vassals, a vote of foreign vassal forces established by the empire on the grassland was also incorporated into the territory of the empire.

Based on these reality, it is natural for the countries on the Indochina Peninsula to be vigilant against the empire. The incident of the Southern Palm Returning to the right defines the order of the empire to pay tribute to this area. Now, the empire needs to promote reforms and form a more equal relationship between countries.

Facing this sudden task, Li Zhaoyu asked: "What aspect do you need to ask?"

Li Junwei said: "We need someone to take the lead in this Oriental Alliance Conference. Before that, I found a representative of Siam. The Siams did not want to express their opinions. The ministers sent by Annan offered relatively high prices, only Guangnan. Although it was very positive, people below have always suspected that the relationship between Guangnan and Japan is unclear."

Li Zhaoyu understood this way.

The Oriental Alliance Conference had already begun in Shenjing, and preparations began last year. After March this year, a large number of heavyweight representatives came to Shenjing Conference. Everything was as expected by Li Junwei. After the Japanese proposed the principle of one country and multiple votes, it immediately attracted criticism from major vassal states.

The dissatisfaction shown by these countries even exceeded Li Junwei's expectations. The reason is that Li Junwei only considered the issue of interests. After all, what he did over the years was based on interests, but he miscalculated factors such as national dignity.

In the eyes of the vassal states in the South China Sea, this Eastern Alliance Conference was led by the empire to establish a fair and equal alliance order, replacing the original tribute system. China, a great country, a country of heaven, and a common father, now we have to sit down. For many years, fathers and sons have become brothers, and we have to be equal and mutually beneficial to everyone. What are you, Japan? You make trouble for your father on weekdays and are still flirting with foreigners. You are the only bad boy, and you are still thinking about jumping on our heads!

I am willing to talk to you as my brother, but you want to be my father, so I absolutely cannot agree to this.

But the problem is that Li Junwei's plan is to secretly support Japan's quarrel with these countries, to create confrontations between Japan and South China countries, and to mediate it, and finally burned the fire. One country took the lead and eliminated Japan.

The time has come, but no country has come forward to take this lead, which is beyond Li Junwei's expectations.

Five days later, on Chongming Island, Baixiang Manor.

"Young Master, I didn't expect you to visit the humble house. I'm so lucky." At the door of the manor, Wen Luo respectfully greeted Li Zhaoyu who got out of the car. The two of them were about the same age and could barely be considered classmates from the Imperial University.

"This is my younger brother, Diwen's classmate. I heard that Diwen was sick, so my father asked me to take my younger brother to see him." Li Zhaoyu introduced Li Zhaoming.

Wen Luo smiled and said, "That's really an honor for my Diwen."

"I also want to see your white elephant. It's better to ride it, is that okay?" Li Zhaoming rushed to say.

"Of course, young master. The elephant is very gentle. A few days ago, Diwen said you come and see you. I asked him to reject you because the elephant had never seen a camera. The camera disturbed him, but now, no, it has been trained to adapt. You can ride or take pictures." Wen Luo said.

"The prince is intent." Li Zhaoyu said with a smile. Hearing Wen Luo's words, it seemed that he had expected that he would come. If this was the case, it would be great.

The White Elephant Manor was actually the property of the imperial royal family. When Dilin lived in the empire, the emperor gave him this small manor and a villa in the suburbs of Shenjing. Later, Dilin returned to China to inherit the throne, and Wen Luo became the master of this place.

And over the years, Wen Luo has been tepid, but he is as grateful to the empire as his father.

In more than 20 years, Wen Luo had only returned to the country twice. At the same time, when his father ascended the throne, Wen Luo returned to China to attend the ceremony and then returned to Shenjing to continue his studies. Originally, the throne had nothing to do with him as the second son, but his brother Luce had problems.

Three years ago, Luce came to Shenjing with more than 700,000 imperial silver dollars entrusted by Dilin, but the emperor did not receive the money and instructed Luce that although the Nanzhang was large, it was located in a remote inland and the people were poor, so he still used the money to seek benefits for the Nanzhang people. The Nanzhang had just ended the civil war and it was time for money to build the country.

Who knew that Luce did not take these words seriously at all. Instead, he squandered Shin Kyung. In a theater in Shin Kyung, he spent more than 50,000 silver dollars overnight. Later, because he forced a meal, the defendant restricted his personal freedom and attracted the sheriff. His guards and the sheriffs were once in a frightened street with Shin Kyung.

Although the empire dealt with this matter in a cold manner, the emperor was extremely dissatisfied with the prince of the Southern Palm. As the king, Di Lin had all his wealth and life and his foundation were given by the empire. During his residence in the empire, the royal family took great care of him, but he did not expect that his son was embarrassed to the imperial capital.

Di Lin immediately sent a telegram and asked the embassy in Shenjing to tie up his son and send him to the palace to apologize. Li Junhua just scolded him for his reprimand, but Di Lin did not let the eldest son go, and sent someone to escort the eldest son back to the country. He directly abolished the prince's identity and banned forever, and also appointed Wen Luo as the prince's heir.

"This manor is more beautiful and quieter than before." Li Zhaoyu and Wen Luo were walking on the boulevard, and he said with a smile.

This is the case. Baixiang Manor originally had few buildings and was originally opened as a place for the Supreme Emperor to compete for power. Back then, there were coal ash and smoke everywhere, and the sound of whistles kept whistling.

However, the Supreme Emperor later had a larger competition venue, which was abandoned.

Wen Luo said: "If it weren't for the elder brother's accident, I would be here for the rest of my life."

"But you are the prince of Nanzhang now, and the future king of Nanzhang has a heavy responsibility on your shoulders." Li Zhaoyu sat on the stone bench and looked at his younger brother in the distance, turning around a white elephant, and he was worried.

"It doesn't matter, the white elephant is very tame and will not hurt people. Divin even dares to let it step on its own body, and the white elephant will master the strength." Wen Luo said.

Li Zhaoyu still asked the attendant to take care of him. He said, "Prince, your white elephant is very honest, but my younger brother is a naughty ghost. I am worried that he will make the honest white elephant angry, and then the honest side will suffer."

Wen Luo nodded: "Yes, our Nanzhang, Chinese translation is millions of elephants, just like this honest white elephant, but the empire has never let us suffer any losses. As early as the time of my grandfather, the empire mediated the relationship between our country and Annan, and Siam did not dare to underestimate our country because of the empire."

After the rise of the empire, the countries on the Indochina Peninsula had adhered to the policy of maintaining the status quo, but the problem is that the Indochina Peninsula has been constantly competing for hegemony for thousands of years. It can be said that everyone has glorious moments, so don’t take a moment as permanent.

Especially in the past two centuries, Myanmar, Siam and Annan have risen one after another, and have ruled part of the current territory of the Nanzhang in history. When the tone of the empire maintaining the status quo was settled, it happened to be the most prosperous era of Nanzhang, so naturally the country took the most advantage in its territory.

"Listen to the people below, the prince hasn't been to the State Guesthouse for a while, is he dissatisfied with the negotiations?" Li Zhaoyu asked.

Wen Luo obviously knew that Li Zhaoyulai was not just taking his younger brother to see the patient and the elephant. He said: "For the outside and to the ministers in our country, I always say that my studies are prosperous and my family is busy. But naturally I will not be so perfunctory to you."

"Why is that?"

"The eldest son has been following His Highness overseas for a few years. In the political arena, he has been used to intrigue and slanderous disobedience." Wen Luo asked.

Li Zhaoyu nodded: "When he followed his father to serve on an envoy, he has indeed gained a lot of insights."

Wen Luo said: "But I was just an ordinary student and had no political ambitions. It was because of the changes in my family and country that I became a prince. At this Eastern Alliance Conference, my father took me as the main commander and asked the ambassador to serve as deputy. In fact, everyone knows that I am just a storefront."

"The prince is humble."

Wen Luo waved his hand: "I also want to share my worries with my father. In the past two months, I have put down my studies and participated in the meeting, but I am really uncomfortable, especially those ugly faces of the Japanese, who are playing clowns, but they are pretending to behave, which makes me sick.

During this period, I always think of it, it’s disgusting, and it’s okay if I can’t go.”

"Japan did something wrong this time, but it still needs to be discussed." Li Zhaoyu persuaded.

Wen Luo said: "That kind of nation that forgets the righteousness when seeing small profits is really disgusting. Although Wen Luo is just a member of a small country, he is also ashamed to be with him. After thinking about it over the years, he still feels that the countries in the South China Sea have been glorious for many years and have the same spirit as each other, how can they be with the jackals like Japan?

The Eastern Alliance Conference is a big event, but I still think that it is hard to do politics with a group of insects."

"Who is the insect?"
