Iron Dynasty

Xiao Ming woke up from his sleep to the dong dong sound of the pendulum clock.

I got up and looked at the time. It was seven o'clock in the morning. Now that there is a pendulum clock, the way Qingzhou records time has also changed. Compared with the previous rough records, the pendulum clock now provides data accurate to the second.

He was excited for a long time yesterday because of the news of Fei Yue'er's pregnancy, and chatted with Fei Yue'er until midnight before they fell asleep.

His Royal Highness has been running around all day, so why don't you sleep for a while. Fei Yue'er was lying on the bed, her voice was a little lazy. After pregnancy, Fei Yue'er became lazy. Xiao Ming is not surprised about this. This is the pregnancy period. The characteristics of , after all, come from modern times, and his technology spar also has information in this regard.

In the previous life, Xiao Ming was alone and without support. Now that he has come to this world to marry a wife and have children, he gradually forgot the past and felt that he was becoming more and more integrated into this world, especially when he learned that he had become a father, he suddenly felt A sense of responsibility rose in his heart, and he had to be more careful for the sake of his family.

After all, the result of the defeat in the kingship is only one, and the other side is cut down by other vassal kings.

Go to sleep, this king still has to deal with the messengers of King Zhao, King Yan and King Liang. Xiao Ming smiled lightly.

Fei Yue'er seemed a little remorseful, she said, It's really not the right time for my concubine to be pregnant, but I chose it at this time of frequent wars. Isn't this causing trouble for Your Highness?

Xiao Ming got off the bed and got on the boat and said, The princess's words are bad. This government affairs is the king's business. You only need to be at ease and support yourself. This king will not put you in danger.

Fei Yue'er nodded, maybe because she was too sleepy, she fell asleep again when Xiao Ming wanted to say something.

Shaking his head, dressed neatly, he left the dormitory, simply drank porridge, ate five buns, and then left for the government office.

When he arrived at the government office, the pendulum clock in the government office was stopped at eight o'clock. At this time, the officials in the government office were all dealing with government affairs.

Seeing Xiao Ming, Pang Yukun said: His Royal Highness, the three of them were dismissed by the subordinate yesterday, and the subordinate did not tell them that His Highness has returned, but from the looks of the three, they seem to know the news of His Highness's return, and I am afraid they can't continue to fool them today. They are.

So this king is going to go out and talk to them personally today, and explore their bottom line by the way. Xiao Ming said, for him, the history is very similar. At present, whether it is the Six Kingdoms attacking Qin or defeating them, they are lost because of lack of mind. , Every country has its own ideas, as the saying goes, if there are too many people, there will be chaos.

This time King Yan, King Liang and King Zhao must have different minds. If they can defeat them one by one, it will be the perfect result, but he also understands that there is not much room for manoeuvre between himself and vassal kings with different surnames.

The two had just finished speaking, when the officer entered the government office and informed Wang Xi that the three of them were waiting outside the door.

Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun looked at each other, and they both left the mansion together.

Your Highness.

Seeing Xiao Ming, the three of them bowed together.

At this moment, Cui Zhang squinted at Pang Yukun and said dissatisfiedly: Pang Shoufu, didn't you say that His Highness is not in Qingzhou? How do you explain it now?

Yeah, if we didn't meet, I don't know when we can meet His Highness. Zheng Hao also said.

Wang Xi glanced at the two of them and said nothing. He has served as Empress Zhao for many years, and he is very clear about the word proportion.

What the two said seemed to be aimed at Pang Yukun, but in fact they were expressing dissatisfaction with Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming could hear it naturally, he pretended to say: The two messengers have misunderstood, this king has not yet informed Pang Shoufu when he entered the city, how can he know? But why did the three come to Qingzhou?

While talking, Xiao Ming let the three of them enter the mansion. At this time, Zhan Xingchang also rushed over, and the six of them sat together again in the room where the truce contract had been signed.

His Royal Highness, this is the truce contract signed at the beginning. I wonder if Your Highness still remembers it? Cui Zhang took out the truce contract.

At this time, Wang Xi and Zheng Hao also took out the contract and placed it on the table.

Xiao Ming didn't look at the truce contract, but said: This king naturally remembers this matter, but what is the matter with King Zhao, King Yan, and King Liang? King Wei is rebellious, this king is just cleaning up the royal scum, this is the king. family affairs.

When Cui Zhang and the others heard the words, they were speechless. They didn't know how to refute the words. Wang Xi was the first to react and said, Your Highness, it's not that we are too busy. This is because King Wei personally sent an envoy to invite us to discuss this matter. His Highness has betrayed the contract. First of all, now it's a rake.

Hmph, when you used the excuse of sending troops to coerce this king, and forced this king to sign this truce contract, you were the first to bully others. If this king attacked King Wei, you made irresponsible remarks, then King Zhao attacked the land of Shu. King Yan seized my royal Yingzhou, Songzhou, Liang King seized my royal Jinzhou, how to explain Suzhou! Xiao Ming retorted.

If it was a passive response in the past, now Xiao Ming has enough ability to take the initiative to deal with it, so he does not plan to continue to talk with them. Now everyone understands the situation in the Great Yu Kingdom.

Cui Zhang and Zheng Hao looked at each other with a twinkle in their eyes. After the Chang'an Rebellion, the two groups sent troops to capture several states and counties that once belonged to the royal family. Together with King Zhao, the three of them took all the land in the north that belonged to the royal family. Carve up.

Xiao Ming didn't mention it last time. They thought that Xiao Ming had acquiesced in this fact, but Xiao Ming suddenly brought it up.

Hmph, these lands belong to no-owners, why can't we take them! Cui Zhang said like a rogue, he had no reason to say anything about this matter, after all, if they still recognized the royal family, their actions would be treason.

Zheng Hao echoed: That's right, the first emperor is dead, and the thirteenth prince is just a puppet of the king of Zhao. Without the last emperor's edict, we would not recognize a baby as emperor. Because of this, our purpose of capturing these cities is It is also for the royal family to temporarily keep these places, so as not to fall into the hands of outsiders.

Wang Xi was furious when he heard the words, and the two were simply scolding King Zhao for being rebellious. He said: The prince murdered the king, the king of Zhao entered Chang'an to help the royal family, and the thirteenth prince is also the direct son of Queen Zhao, this throne is not Who else can he belong to? His Royal Highness King Qi is right, you two are the wolf's ambition.

Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, but he just provoked a random sentence, and the three of them quarreled. He suddenly understood in his heart, it seems that the contradictions between these three secretly are not small.

At that time, even if the three families send troops together, I am afraid it will be a scene of watching another death. Thinking of this, he feels more at ease, but although there are contradictions, he believes that the three families can still form a coalition. .

In this way, they will no longer have any restraints and can become emperors on their own, but Xiao Ming will not let them form a coalition army so simply. They are not the only three families in the Great Yu Kingdom who know conspiracy and tricks.
