The system forced me to be emperor

Bai Meng secretly sighed, His Majesty's goal is too big, so he will not stop. As long as this winter is over, next spring will definitely go north to attack the Yuan Kingdom!The Yuan Kingdom is a nomadic people. It is inappropriate to deal with such a country's strong attack. It is most appropriate to use tactics to divide and dissolve. There are counselors around His Majesty who suggest this, but His Majesty thinks it is a waste of time.He wanted to use the most direct way to let the iron cavalry kill them directly and break through the Yuan Kingdom!

"Master Hou, I heard that your country has attacked Fengtian City of Qi State, why didn't you attack? Once Qi State is destroyed, your country's power will become the strongest in China!" Bai Meng asked.

Tian Boyuan smiled and said: "General Bai doesn't know that Qi State is experiencing a major drop in temperature recently, and the conflicts in Qi State are intensifying, and the food shortage is becoming prominent. Therefore, I don't want the soldiers of the Great Xia to brave the severe cold to attack and lose their troops. To Your Majesty In terms of capturing the territory of Qi State, although it is important, Daxia Erlang's life is also important. Qi Guoguo will follow Zhao State's footsteps, why rush for a while? General Bai should also advise His Majesty Qin Huang that it is easy to lose yourself in the hegemony of expanding the territory. Don't take too many steps."

It is common sense that the stride is too large and it is easy to mess up.

Bai Meng said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Hou, for reminding me, I will definitely speak up when I return to court."

"Is the teacher going back to the court? Isn't General Bai stationed here? Oh, I understand, His Majesty Qin Huang is still worried." Tian Boyuan said with a smile.

Bai Meng took over half of Zhao's territory, but Emperor Qin would not let him garrison here, but would replace it with other people.Conquering the world and governing the world cannot be the same person. After a long time, the old people of Zhao State here only recognize Baimeng, not Qin Huang.

On the other hand, Emperor Xia continued to allow Chang Shenghou to be stationed in the Fourteen States of Anxi, which showed his magnanimity and means.

Bai Meng was not embarrassed, and said: "This is what I asked to return to the capital. The person who will replace me is General Meng Yi. This person is braver and more capable than me. If we meet in battle, Lord Hou must be careful. "

Tian Boyuan had heard Meng Yi's name before, nodded his head and said: "Even though we are enemies, we can still be friends, each is his master."

Bai Meng deeply agreed, and respectfully said: "That's right! Today we drink together as friends, and I respect Lord Hou for a cup of tea."

Tian Boyuan returned the gift, and the two drank it down in one gulp.

The wind wrinkled the surface of the lake, creating ripples.Suddenly, sporadic snowflakes fell, and it snowed.

Not long after, the snow gradually became heavier, like a goose feather.

Tian Boyuan and Bai Meng bid farewell and returned. When they landed, they looked at each other, and the white snow had already stained the sky.

Chapter 565: Bai Suzhen Comes to Borrow Food

The demise of Zhao Guo has no effect on Xiao Rui's life, and now he is busy counting money.First of all, the money for confiscating the Yang family in Chang'an has been sent over, except for the treasury and His Majesty's internal money, the rest has been sent to Zhan Shifu.

Secondly, Hao Yun, the deputy censor of the left, inspected the state capital, and the work of inspecting the clearing of the fertile land was basically completed. The household department was collecting data. some silver.

Finally, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigated the embezzlement of stored grain. Seriously corrupt officials could not escape the consequences of ransacking their homes, and the money was also sent back to Kyoto.

It was the end of the year, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate also made a statistic. In half a year, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple confiscated [-] officials, and all of them were above the seventh rank.This record is the sum of the previous five years. As for those small officials with lower official positions, the Metropolitan Procuratorate doesn't even bother to count them.

With this credit, Du Shaonian got drunk that night.I am really drifting, drifting, I have checked so many people without knowing it, if the relatives and friends of these officials hold grudges, wouldn't they want to take revenge on me?

So the next day, Du Shaonian went to see the prince, trying to blame the prince for the dirty water, and went to the cabinet for a few rounds. When he saw people, he said that the prince had come to temporarily lead the right capital censor. The influence has skyrocketed. The previous self was really incompetent and failed to lead the Metropolitan Procuratorate well.

The effect of talking to everyone is not bad, to avoid being the target of public criticism, but his small actions have also reached Xiao Rui's ears.

Xiao Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Du Shaonian is really talented, forget it, I have a lot of adults, so I don't care about him like him.

Now that Zhan Shifu has enough money, he doesn't have to worry about the financial situation in the coming year, other things are going on steadily, and Xiao Rui rarely relaxes, enjoying the ease of the New Year approaching.

As the saying goes, Laba is the new year.

After eating Laba porridge, Xiao Rui could feel the excitement of the New Year even in the palace.

The time came to the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Zhang Ruoxi's younger brothers, Zhang Lianchuan and Tian Boguang, have returned to Beijing to report on their duties, so Xiao Rui took Zhang Ruoxi back to Zhang's residence.

Yizhang stopped in front of Zhang's mansion, and saw Zhang Lianchuan waiting in front of the mansion early, saw his sister and brother-in-law get off the carriage, hurried up to greet him and shouted: "Sister..."

After calling out, he realized that he had lost his etiquette, and hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted: "The humble official greets His Royal Highness, Your Majesty the Crown Prince."

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "This trip is to attend a family banquet, the family does not need to see outside."

Zhang Ruoxi took Zhang Lianchuan's arm, looked around him, and said with a smile: "It's not bad, I'm a little stronger, I don't know if my martial arts have improved, I'll try you later."

Zhang Lianchuan immediately said with a mournful face, "Sister, you are already a princess, don't just do it if you don't agree with each other, etiquette, rules, understand?"

Zhang Ruoxi glared immediately, and snorted, "Your wings are so stiff, you dare to make fun of me."

Zhang Lianchuan repeatedly begged for mercy, so he got closer and asked in a low voice, "Sister, do you have any?"

Zhang Ruoxi was taken aback, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"What else is there, that's it." Zhang Lianchuan patted his stomach.

Zhang Ruoxi was ashamed and immediately kicked Zhang Lianchuan.

Zhang Lianchuan regretted: "It seems not, this kick is so quick. Hey, I still want to be an uncle, and everyone says that my nephew is like an uncle..."

"Don't..." Xiao Rui hastily refused.

Zhang Lianchuan opened his mouth, but he was blocked and didn't know what to say. He looked at Xiao Rui with a resentful face, did he look ugly?

Zhang Ruoxi laughed happily, Xiao Rui patted Zhang Lianchuan on the shoulder, and said: "Don't be sad, people's appearance is destined, and there is no solution for you to complain, unless..."

"Unless what?" Zhang Lianchuan asked curiously.

Xiao Rui smiled without saying a word, how can ordinary people understand the mystery of plastic surgery?

The three entered the mansion, Xiao Rui went to visit Mrs. Zhang, and talked with him.It was the last time Zhang Ruoxi went back to the house after getting married. During this time, she stayed in the palace. It was the first time she left home for such a long time, and she missed her grandmother very much.

Xiao Rui asked her to have a conversation with her grandmother, while Xiao Rui was invited to the living room by Zhang Lianchuan, and said mysteriously: "Your Highness, when I came here from Qi this time, I brought back a person who asked to see His Highness by name. !"

"Where is it?" When Xiao Rui heard that it was a visitor from Qi State, he immediately became interested. Could it be his relative?

Zhang Lianchuan said with a smile: "Your Highness, wait a moment, I will invite you right away."

After finishing speaking, he left in a hurry. After a while, he invited a woman disguised as a man. After seeing the woman's appearance clearly, Xiao Rui smiled immediately.

The person who came was indeed a relative, Xiao Rui's dry aunt Bai Suzhen.

"After a few days, King Xian has become the crown prince. Congratulations." Bai Suzhen said with a smile.

Xiao Rui cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Auntie Suzhen is still very handsome, I wonder if my grandfather, aunt and uncle are in good health?"

Zhang Lianchuan on the side stepped back and let the two have a good communication.

Bai Suzhen said: "Your health is very good, don't worry about it, it's just that you have been busy before, Qi Huang is now in a state of desperation, so he intends to invite your grandfather to lead the army to fight against the looting Yuan army, but he is not at ease, and the imperial court The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs objected, and this matter has not yet been finalized. But in my opinion, there is no further comment.”

"Although my grandfather is old, he is still strong and strong. When he was young, he was famous on the battlefield. Even if he has been silent for many years, he still has a reputation. Letting my grandfather go out to lead the troops to fight against the Yuan army can boost morale. It is the right person. But Qi Huang probably won't The reason for doing this is naturally mine." Xiao Rui said.

Bai Suzhen snorted coldly, and said: "Although the reason lies with you, this Qi Huangkong has great ambitions, but he lacks methods and strategies. If the country is stable, he can still make troubles. Now there are problems, and there are troubles in all directions. He I just can't take care of it."

Xiao Rui nodded. Indeed, the current situation in Qi State is very difficult. If Qi Huang is not capable enough, it will be difficult to turn the tide.

"Auntie Suzhen came from Qi, besides seeing me, is there any other important thing?" Xiao Rui asked.

Bai Suzhen nodded and said: "This time I came here specially to find you. Your grandfather asked me to ask you, is Zhao Huang's death related to you?"
