Li Yongzhong also knew this very well. Duan Yi's arrival must be related to King Yu.

"What should I do? What happened?" Crown Prince William also asked anxiously. He was familiar with Duan Yi and knew a little about the joints.

"The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. William, please help me recall the memories. What I did during this period is a big mistake?" Li Zhaoyu asked on his own initiative.

Crown Prince William said: "In my eyes, it is inappropriate in the colonies of Genoa and North Africa."

"It won't be this." Li Yongzhong said bluntly: "This matter has been contacted with Shen Jing by telegram. The eldest prince has been recognized by His Majesty and believes it is appropriate."

"Yes, in the telegram, there is only a language of low evaluation and no accusation." Li Zhaoyu also said.

Although the evaluation was not high, Li Zhaoyu didn't care. Before he went abroad, he reviewed secret information from the Security Bureau. Since the effective use of the telegram, King Yu, King Rong and some major officials have summarized the telegrams with Shin Kyung during his presidency abroad.

In these telegram summary, Li Zhaoyu found that whether it was his father or the brother Rong, the emperor always had a low evaluation of the transaction when conducting political transactions abroad. In Li Zhaoyu's view, this was due to the emperor's personal character. The emperor could accept conspiracy, but did not like conspiracy.

Prince William thought about it carefully again: "I really can't think of anything else. After all, this is the only place where your country sacrifices at the League of Nations conference."

From the perspective of interests, Crown Prince William believes that it would be a bit of a loss to use Genoa's colonies in North Africa to exchange Corsica as the headquarters of the League of Nations. After all, those colonies have real interests, but what they get is a bit vain.

In addition to this incident, William felt that Li Zhaoyu did not harm the actual interests of the empire. As he knew, during this League of Nations meeting, the transactions Li Zhaoyu made were mostly mutually beneficial, and there was no one-sided loss to the empire.

"If you can't think of it, then forget it. Yongzhong, go and tell Chief Duan, just say that I think the banquet at the Seville Palace is boring, so I secretly ran out with William and came here to fish." Li Zhaoyu simply said barely, and sat back on the chair.

Li Yongzhong said: "Maybe we can ask others, I'll test the people around Chief Duan, how about it?"

"No need, Chief Duan is a man who does things without any loss. If you go to test, he will find out, and everyone will not be able to get over the face." Li Zhaoyu said, and he also arranged for the servant to prepare a fishing rod for Duan Yi, obviously he had already prepared to listen carefully.

Li Yongzhong had no choice but to do it, and William said carefully: "You'd better be mentally prepared, maybe it's not a trivial matter."

"Even if it's not a trivial matter, so what? Everything I do is out of public interest and do my best. Even if it's wrong, there's nothing I can do. Moreover, even if it's wrong, it's not necessarily because I'm wrong, it's also possible that my father is wrong, although this possibility is smaller.

Justice is in the hearts of the people, and right and wrong can always be clearly distinguished." Li Zhaoyu was very calm and said while hanging the bait.

"You are very calm." William couldn't help but sigh.

Li Zhaoyu said: "If you do something wrong, you must admit it; if you are beaten, you must be attentive. If you are wrong, you must have an attitude. If you don't admit it, you cannot be decadent, and you will not be depressed. In the final analysis, three words are thick-skinned."

Although Li Zhaoyu heard that Duan Yi's arrival was like facing a great enemy, when Duan Yi really appeared in front of him, he had a kind and plain face without any anxiety. However, this not only did not make Li Zhaoyu even more relaxed, but made him nervous.

Duan Yi sat down to fish and joked that he went to the Seville Palace and did not find Li Zhaoyu. He was also pulled by the Spanish king to eat a lot of cake and drink a lot of wine. It was really uncomfortable. Several young people echoed and laughed, but everyone was still nervous.

Li Zhaoyu had no intention of guessing riddles with Duan Yi, so he simply went straight to the point and asked directly: "Captain Duan is here this time, but my father is dissatisfied with what I did in Seville."

Duan Yi nodded slightly and said, "The wanderer is away, so of course he is worried about being a father."

"It's not just the care of my father. Has his father given any advice?" Li Zhaoyu asked.

Seeing Duan Yi’s mysterious and mysterious way, Crown Prince William thought that he was an outsider and was not easy to speak, so he took the initiative to say, "I still have something to do, so I will leave first. Zhaoyu, I will come to you for fishing tomorrow."

Duan Yi grabbed Prince William's fishing rod and said, "Your Highness William, you are wrong. It has nothing to do with your presence."

Lee Zhaoyu looked at William and said, "William, sit down."

Crown Prince William sat down as he said, but he felt more gossip in his heart. After all, he guessed for a whole morning with his ears and foreheads, but he didn't understand what Li Zhaoyu did. His desire for knowledge made him feel confused and curious to kill the cat, but the cat may not necessarily regret it.

"Actually, you did nothing wrong, but His Highness Yu thought you were standing on the cliff and asked me to tell you that there was a cliff ahead, so don't go forward any more." Duan Yi said slowly.

At this time, what Prince William and Li Yongzhong wanted to know was what the cliff was. But Li Zhaoyu asked another question: "If I fall from the cliff, what will happen."

"It will not affect your qualifications for the throne, but it will affect the national interests of the empire." Duan Yi answered directly, and then said with a smile: "This is not what I said, it is the original words of His Highness Yu. I have a telegram proof there, but I can't show it to you now."

After Duan Yi said that, the three of them became even more curious. Duan Yi came in a hurry, and it must be that Li Zhaoyu did something wrong, and the so-called wrong thing would definitely affect the interests of the empire. If it was a big mistake, Li Zhaoyu might be directly lost to the qualification to compete for the reserve position. No one expected that affecting the national interests of the empire would not affect his competition for the reserve position.

Li Zhaoyu did not ask again, but Duan Yi revealed Li Junwei's words. In King Yu's view, the biggest mistake of Li Zhaoyu in participating in this League of Nations meeting was to threaten France with moral issues. Although Li Zhaoyu's inner plan was to play this card regardless of whether France agreed to cooperate or not. If he agreed, he would play three and two, and if he did not agree, he would have a king bomb.

Li Junwei suggested that Li Zhaoyu should not play this card, let alone the king's bombing, regardless of whether France agreed to cooperate or not.

France is now in the bloody accumulation stage of capitalism. Whether it is the heavy exploitation and oppression of domestic workers or the bloody policy of rule and slavery in the colonies, it is all caused by the accumulation of primitive capital. Relatively speaking, the empire has gone through this stage, so the empire has not completely abolished the slavery system in its control, and has handed over all the state-owned colonies of the empire to private companies, or carried out reforms, and handed over the right to govern the local areas to colonies.

Therefore, the empire had many moral means to deal with the French. But Li Junwei did not want to use such means at all. In Li Junwei's view, he only criticized his opponent at the beginning, but such things could not be controlled in detail, self-promotion and packaging. Whether for a country or a person, it was like a woman putting on makeup. The longer she put on makeup, the thicker her makeup would be, and she would never return to her original natural beauty.

If the empire criticized the slavery implemented by the French overseas, it would put itself on the commanding heights of humanitarianism, and whether they wanted to or not, it would be pushed up. The word humanitarianism is so majestic and upright. As long as it is stamped like this, all political activities in the future will be restricted by humanitarianism.

The same words include peace, cooking, freedom, etc. This is the common understanding of the two generations of imperial kings. No matter how excellent the empire is, it will not label such a high-end label on itself, which means that it does not hope that the empire's policies will be kidnapped by morality.

No country has a clean butt. People often feel that their motherland is flawless, just because of their position. If they put themselves too high, they will definitely fall miserably when they fall.

"Young Master, I can teach you some experiences for many years. If you are sure that your life will be dedicated to politics, then you must be cautious in your words and actions, especially in diplomatic occasions. As a person in power, when a word is not spoken out of your mouth, you are the master of this sentence, and everyone will pray for this sentence.

And after saying the same sentence from your mouth, you will be the slave of this sentence. Everything in the future must be served and responsible for it." Duan Yi explained the anger from King Yu, and then carefully warned Li Zhaoyu.

All three young men lowered their heads and pondered, obviously being stunned by Duan Yi's words.

William raised his head and said, "What you said makes sense, but... Chief Duan, what I want to say is that it seems that this is not the case for Uncle Yu. He never is a slave to words, right? And he speaks more easily, both inside and outside."

Obviously, William gave an example of the opposite. During his political career, King Yu Li Junwei showed a completely different attitude from other politicians. He spoke casually, and caused considerable controversy both inside and outside, so that the people of the empire are now used to it, and even believed that this language style is more affinity.

Duan Yi nodded: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is right. You have deep intersections with Your Highness Yu, and he is also the most dazzling star in the empire. Young people worship and love him, and they will involuntarily imitate him and learn from him, but this is wrong.

His Highness Yu has the freedom to give up power at any time. Do you have it?

As his elder Prince Yu, an emperor who is infinitely tolerant of him, do you have one?

His Highness Yu has the attributes that are easier to be forgiven. Do you have one?

You don’t have them, so it’s better to be cautious in your words and actions. Even if there is one, please be cautious in your words and actions for your own country. Remember, did Your Highness Yu harm the interests of the empire because of his inappropriate speech?”

The answer is no, because Li Junwei himself knows himself very well, so in his political activities, all his paperwork is responsible for professionals. Therefore, people know that what King Yu said is often not so important, and what treaty he signed is more important.

Li Zhaoyu said: "What you mean is that moral issues are a double-edged sword that hurts the enemy and us?"

"Yes, the eldest son. Don't raise such things before it is absolutely necessary. Because if you put it forward, you will find each other's black spots to find opponents. A country often has many black spots, and even if it is made up, it can make up a lot.

That means that you are forcibly pulled to the same level by your opponent to compete. The strength of the country will not play a role. A superpower like the Empire and a regional power like France will have no essential difference. Our biggest advantage is the hard power we have, and we must be good at using our own advantages." Duan Yi taught me sincerely, and Li Zhaoyu nodded constantly.

Although Duan Yi said a lot, he did not say some things, that is, the diplomacy of the empire, whether it is peaceful or in a war state, the prominent words are just two words, pragmatic. Everything starts from reality, not those things that are stupid.

This diplomatic style was almost established by Li Junwei alone. If Li Zhaoyu really took on moral issues, making a big essay at this League of Nations conference would actually change the diplomatic style of the empire. Obviously, no one would agree with this. After all, this has been done in the diplomatic system for more than 20 years, and it cannot be turned upside down just because of Li Zhaoyu's whim.

"Yes, this time I was not thinking carefully. Fortunately, everything was not at the worst." Li Zhaoyu said.

Duan Yi smiled and said, "Young Master, moral issues are actually a brand new topic. It is rare for you to consider this. In addition, what you need to tell you is that colleagues in the diplomatic system believe that the establishment of the League of Nations will change the diplomatic style of the entire empire. There will be more and more discussions on moral issues, and it is right for you to consider them in advance."

"Since the empire's advantage is hard power, why should we support the establishment of the League of Nations?" Crown Prince William asked for advice.

Duan Yi said: "The reason is very simple. Human civilization is progressing. Moral issues will become more and more important in the future international diplomatic stage. In other words, countries will use morality to cover up their interests, and morality is also the best excuse.

The League of Nations can not only be a platform for quarrels, but also a scapegoat and a trash can. In the future, no matter what is going to violate morality, it can be done from the framework of the League of Nations, which is what we are scolded for."

"Your words have really benefited me a lot." Crown Prince William said with emotion.
