The system forced me to be emperor

Xiao Rui nodded, agreeing with Zhang Liang's speculation, but what worried Xiao Rui even more was the worsening weather in recent years, especially the temperature in winter, which was getting colder and colder.

A word suddenly jumped out of his mind: Little Ice Age!

The more Xiao Rui thought about it, the more likely it was!

I read a report in my previous life, saying that there have been four small ice ages in Chinese history, and the first occurred at the end of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, which directly led to the replacement of the Shang Dynasty by the Zhou Dynasty.The second time happened at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which led to the chaos of the Three Kingdoms.The third time occurred at the end of the Tang Dynasty, which led to chaos in the Five Dynasties.The fourth time occurred in the late Ming Dynasty.

Especially during the Chongzhen period, it was the peak of the fourth Little Ice Age. The north was frozen for thousands of miles, the rivers were frozen, and the water transport was almost abolished. Even the south had a foot-thick snowstorm, and the temperature in some places dropped to minus [-] degrees!

The extreme cold has dealt a devastating blow to agriculture. What should farmers do if they don't have enough to eat?

What are you waiting for, go against it!

Moreover, the Little Ice Age will not only make the world suddenly cold, but also cause drought, locust plague, plague and so on.

Xiao Rui said that the heavy snowfall in Kyoto before the new year's end last year was a rare blizzard in ten years. This year's weather temperature dropped even more, ten degrees lower than in previous years.

Xiao Rui fell into deep thought.

If it was really the Little Ice Age, then I had to make plans early, before the Little Ice Age reached its peak, hurry up and find a way to save myself.How many people will freeze to death and starve to death by then...unimaginable!

Fortunately, the system brought potatoes, corn, and peppers to him. Counting the days, Shen Wansan will be back soon.

Chapter 427: Zhang Liang goes out to assist

In the simple hut, the fragrance of tea is wafting.

Xiao Rui was asking Zhang Liang's views on the future situation, and his answer was clear, basically the same as Jia Xu's and Guo Jia's calculations, but Xiao Rui had more questions.

"Zifang, if the Yuan Kingdom goes south to plunder and start a war, how will the situation change?" Xiao Rui asked.

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Your Highness, after Xia and Qin divided Zhao's territory, does Your Highness think that Qin will move its capital? Move the capital to the east of the Qinling Mountains?"

"No!" Xiao Rui said firmly: "The Qinling Mountains are a hindrance to the Qin State now, and will be a natural barrier in the future. It can be attacked and defended. Qin State will not take such a bad move."

Zhang Liang nodded and said with a smile: "That's right! So even if Qin State occupied half of Zhao State's territory, it would only be set up as a province. Even if it sent troops to station, it would be far inferior to our Great Xia's control over the occupied land! To go south, Yuan State must go through Qi State to go south, and our Xia State and Qi State have mountain ranges to block them. On the contrary, there are thousands of horses and plains between Zhao State and Qi State. Yuan State is best at cavalry, and their choice is obvious. ! Once the Yuan State plunders the Qin State, the Qin State must take revenge, and the Northern Expedition to the Yuan State is inevitable."

"Next, we can contact the Wei State. The technique of joining forces is a favorite of the Wei State! However, there is no doubt that the Qin State is strong. Even if it is attacked on three sides, at most he will retreat his troops to the west of the Qinling Mountains and defend the three cities. Xiongguan, you can sit back and relax. At the same time, while the above-mentioned strategy is being used, you can also start to instigate rebellion against the Yuan Kingdom."

"Instigating rebellion?" Xiao Rui felt that his head was not enough.

Zhang Liang explained: "Your Highness should know that the composition of the Yuan Kingdom is different from other countries. They are divided into tribes. The big tribes have hundreds of thousands of people, and the small tribes only have tens of thousands. All of them are loyal to the Khan. Just said, It is estimated that the weather will get worse and worse. When the tribes suffer from hunger and cold, and go south to plunder without any results, what will happen to the seemingly stable tribes? The big ones will definitely destroy the small ones, and the interior will inevitably fall into chaos and encroachment. At that time, we can help several large tribes and lure them with food, and there is no need for our army to go north, and the Yuan Kingdom will surely be divided!"

"I have analyzed the history of the Yuan Kingdom. When the tribes were prosperous, the tribes would unite and unite in order to pursue greater rights. Once it declines, it will be destroyed by itself! Once the Yuan Kingdom is divided, it will be destroyed slowly. It is easy! "

Xiao Rui gave a thumbs up and said in admiration: "Ovary is really talented, she can analyze it so thoroughly!"

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Your Highness, Liao Zan, these speculations are just hypotheses, everything in the world is constantly changing, I just speculate on one of the possibilities, no one can predict things like a god."

"What about Wei Guo?" Xiao Rui asked.

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Every country has its own disadvantages, the death of Wei will also be its own death."

"Looking at the structure of the Seven Kingdoms, the Xia Kingdom abolished the three provinces and set up a cabinet to centralize power under His Majesty. However, if the cabinet and the ceremonial supervisor are given greater power and cannot be suppressed, the two sides will inevitably fight each other and cause harm! We have to be careful! Yan Kingdom It is a system of three provinces and six ministries with Qi State and Zhao State. It also has advantages and disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is that the emperor's power cannot be absolutely controlled, so it will form a situation where Emperor Yan and Emperor Zhao hate powerful ministers and seize power. If the emperor cannot be enlightened And doubting the courtiers is the time for disaster. Needless to say, Yuan State, Qin State and Wei State are divided into feudal systems, which also have advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are not mentioned for the time being, and the disadvantage is that there are too many vassal states. And when the imperial court is unable to give orders, it will definitely affect the operation of the country! Qin is fine, and has always been cautious about this degree, but looking at the current state of Wei, there are nine kings with different surnames and eighteen princes. Why is Wei so eager to capture Yan? In the country, hatred and grievances are only superficial problems. The biggest problem is that the country of Wei must expand its territory so that the increasingly severe country can be cultivated. But this is not the solution. I said that Wei Guo also died on his own!"

……

Zhang Liang said that although he lived in seclusion in the mountains, he had a very thorough analysis of the general trend of the world and the situation of various countries.

Moreover, he did not avoid the important and ignore the minor, and also talked about the disadvantages of the Xia Kingdom, but generally speaking, the current governance methods of the Emperor Xia are the best among the seven kingdoms, otherwise he would not have spent more than 20 years governing the barren Great Xia. heyday.

Finally, Zhang Liang smiled and said: "The demise of Yuan and Wei is a matter of situation. At that time, Xia and Qin will compete. As for who can win and unify China, Your Highness, I will leave this question to His Highness to answer!"

Xiao Rui also smiled, nodded and said: "Listening to Zifang's words is better than studying for ten years! With Zifang by my side to assist, the changes in the world in the future will also be witnessed by you!"

"Fortunately, it's not a disgrace!" Zhang Liang stood up excitedly, and bowed his hands.

Xiao Rui helped him up, looked at him and laughed.

Next, Xiao Rui had a rough meal here, and then prepared to return to the capital, while Zhang Liang was alone, with only a book boy, and he started his journey at thirty, and his heart was very agitated.

The next day, everyone returned to the capital, Xiao Rui took Zhang Liang to meet Guo Jia and Jia Xu, the three counselors said a few simple words, and they cherished each other, well, they left Xiao Rui aside again, making Xiao Rui quite boring , can only return to the palace.

Back in the capital, I heard that she was not in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. After asking, I found out that Queen Zhou Xiangyun was sick and bedridden. After all, she was a queen, so His Majesty wanted to visit her.

Ever since the assassination of King Chu and the accident in Zhou's family, Zhou Xiangyun has been hit hard. After listening to Yan Xiaoxiao's novel, the queen has shown signs of going crazy.

You can't live by doing your own crimes!Xiao Rui showed no mercy.

Xiao Rui didn't bother to review the memorial when His Majesty was away, sitting there comfortably, drinking the tea made by Yan Xiaoxiao himself, this is life!

"Xiaoxiaobubble's tea is delicious!" Xiao Rui praised.

Yan Xiaoxin was delighted, with a smile like a flower, and said: "Your Highness likes to drink, Xiaoxiao has been making tea for His Highness!"

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Okay! That's settled!"

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly, and said obediently: "En!"

While speaking, footsteps came from outside the hall, and I saw Emperor Xia enter the hall, followed by a person, King Ruyang!

Seeing King Ruyang, Xiao Rui stared blankly, and then smiled even wider.

"Father, lord!" Xiao Rui stood up and saluted.

When King Ruyang saw Xiao Rui, he smiled and returned the courtesy: "His Royal Highness!"

Emperor Xia sat on the dragon chair and said: "There are no outsiders, let's all sit down."

"Yes!" The two replied, and An sat down.

Emperor Xia said: "Prince, the reason why King Ruyang entered the palace in a hurry this time is because Emperor Zhao sent a group of Nine Yin Forbidden Army secretly to lurk in the capital, trying to assassinate the emperor's relatives. Come here to report, and prepare to think of a perfect plan to wipe out the other party."

Xiao Rui already knew about the collusion between Ruyang King and Duan Wang Xiao Feng, and Xiao Feng colluded with Zhao Guo, Ruyang King must also know it well, so he must have a big conspiracy to come out and call for the thief!

Xiao Rui pretended to be angry and said: "Emperor Zhao is really insidious, he is in vain as the king of a country! Fortunately, the prince discovered his trick this time, otherwise it would be troublesome. By the way, this is how the prince discovered it? The prince discovered that the process must be tortuous and wonderful, can you tell me about it?"

King Ruyang said with a smile: "I disappointed the prince. There is no twists and turns. It's just a coincidence. Recently, the guards in my mansion noticed that someone was peeping, so I sent a master to follow and discovered the secret of the peepers. Discover their conspiracy! After confirming, this will be rushed into the palace."

Believe me, you bastard!

During this period of time, Xiao Rui has not moved King Ruyang for a long time. One is because he has just become a prince and wants to keep a low profile for the time being, and the other is because of Xiao Qingqing.Originally thought that Xiao Feng would be honest when he left Beijing, but now it seems that this guy's hands and feet will not stop.

But, what is this old guy's plan?

When Xiao Rui thought about it, Emperor Xia said: "Since the national war has begun, it is time for the capital to strengthen its defenses. Haibanban has drafted an order for the patrol battalion to strengthen the defense of each city gate. People are not restricted from going out of the city. Check, check the household registration certificate."

"Yes, I understand." Hai Dafu said respectfully.
