Such a large ship was probably the safest place in the entire Qi Dynasty at that time.
Naturally, it was also manned by Emperor Gaozong of Qi's own personal guards, and of course, as the chief minister, Li Hao had to board the ship too, naturally bringing along a few of his own people.
But no matter what, it was absolutely forbidden to allow unreliable people on board.
Thus, with everything ready and under the accompaniment of the powerful chief minister Li Hao, Emperor Gaozong of Qi boarded the ship and cheerfully embarked on yet another escape journey.
If the capital could hold its ground, he could return to pass his remaining years in comfort.
If the capital could not hold, he could take the ship even further south and, depending on the situation, could even establish his own court.
In any case, it seemed to be a foolproof strategy.
