Chapter 722 I still feel a little uncomfortable

The emperor stood up, walked a few steps toward the wall, and faced a huge map hanging on the wall.

Dai Viet on the map is just a small piece, and the islands in the waters of Manju Island are less than the size of a palm. Between them is a large ocean.

On the other side of the waters of Manju Island, there are many countries, including offshore island countries like Manju Kingdom and Japan, and there is also a large piece of land with many large and small countries on it.

Due to the natural geographical advantages, many countries there have to pass through the waters of Manju Island if they want to reach Dai Viet.

Therefore, for Dai Viet, this proposal from the Agate Kingdom is also a good idea.

There is no need to sacrifice one's own military forces. All one needs to do is send a few ships of food and weapons every year, and one can get a country to serve as the gatekeeper of one's own country.

However, the emperor still felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that the ruler of the Agate Kingdom was originally just an ordinary citizen of his, even an insignificant peasant, but now he had to be on an equal footing with him.

He turned around and looked at Mo Beihan:

"Han'er, why would the people of Manju Kingdom allow a foreigner to be their king? He doesn't even have the same skin color as them. Isn't there anyone who objects?"

Mo Beihan shook his head:

"No one objected. Uncle Qiao was originally the chief of one of the tribes on Manju Island. Uncle Qiao taught them how to farm, hunt, raise livestock, build houses, sew clothes, and cook food with fire, which greatly changed their lives. Therefore, the people on the island respected him very much. Later, in several battles against Japanese pirates, Uncle Qiao united the islands in that sea area to resist together and won many battles. In this way, he conquered the islanders on other islands and pushed him to the position of chief. Therefore, when Uncle Qiao proposed to establish a country, everyone agreed and unanimously nominated him to be the king of Manju."

Hearing this, the emperor pondered for a long time.

Mo Beihan lowered his head and sipped his tea, his brows drooping.

After a long time, he finally heard the emperor calling him:

"In that case, let him come to the palace the day after tomorrow! Oh, don't forget to let him bring his daughter with him. I want to take a good look at what charm this woman has that can make Han'er so infatuated with her."

Mo Beihan quickly put down the tea bowl, his face full of joy again:

"Uncle Emperor, do you agree to my marriage with Miss Qiao? With your blessing, Ranran and I will definitely live happily in the future!"

The emperor rolled his eyes at him and said, "You know you can live with her before we even start dating?"

Mo Beihan said shyly: "Hehe, Uncle Qiao and my grandfather have agreed, and now I have the consent of your uncle Huang, who can stop me and Ran Ran from being together?"

The emperor waved his hand, without commenting:

"Okay, I'm a little tired and need to take a nap. You go back first!"

"Yes, then my nephew will take his leave first!"

When Mo Beihan walked out of the palace, the nonchalant look on his face disappeared, replaced by a cold and gloomy look.

Mu Er, who was waiting outside, saw that his master looked unhappy. Even though he was a thick-skinned man, he knew that his master was in a bad mood, so it would be better for him to speak less.

"Has my grandfather returned home?"

"My Lord, the old prince has not returned yet. I heard that the emperor is fishing at the imperial manor in the western suburbs. I don't think the old prince will be back so soon."

"Let's go to the Royal Manor too!"

"Yes!"

The two men rode on two horses and headed towards the west gate.
