According to the situation of the country

"Your Highness, don't run so fast, Ju Cui won't be able to catch up with Your Highness." The girl in a pink court lady's attire wiped the sweat from her head and called to Lin Si.In the blink of an eye, Lin Si was already seven years old. He was a generous, intelligent and outstanding prince, with his eyebrows and eyes very much like Lin Xuan. "Is Ju Cui old?" Lin Si stood three feet away, bent over and giggled, "Uncle Huang said that old people can't run without screaming." The last time Lin Xuan took him out of the palace for a day's walk Lin Si was tired and clamored to take a rest, but now he had learned enough to pass on what Lin Xuan had taught him to his court lady.

"Your Highness, Eunuch Chang said that the Emperor ordered no one to go to Chengqian Hall today, saying that he was discussing political affairs with the ministers in the court. Your Highness, servants and servants will accompany you to the back yard. Teacher Ji will come to teach you later." Ju Cui tried to discuss with the little master in front of him.Unexpectedly, he put his hands on his hips and curled his lips in dissatisfaction and muttered: "Uncle Huang said that when he took most of the land of the Jin Kingdom, Si'er would take me out of the palace to play after he was familiar with the Three Art of War. The envoy has already come to ask for peace, but last night I was reciting the book at night, and today the emperor is gone? Then what if I forget the book I memorized tomorrow?” Lin Si scratched his head and was a little discouraged.

Ju Cui secretly covered her mouth and smiled, Lin Si pointed at her a little annoyed, "Don't laugh at me, Aunt Ju Cui, if you have the ability, go and see behind your back." Ju Cui quickly waved his hand, "Your Highness is very powerful, it only took five You can memorize it all in one day, but this servant thinks that the emperor knows that you may finish memorizing it in five days... and won’t praise His Highness.” Lin Si’s eyes were wide open and he asked in astonishment: “Why?” Ju Cui’s face was innocent. Looking at Lin Si, he said, "Your Highness, don't you remember what the emperor often said about you?"

"Eager for success..." Lin Si blinked with aggrieved face, and looked very cute.

"anything else?"

"Temper... impatient..."

"Does Your Highness still want to go to the Emperor at this time?"

Immediately, Lin Si's little head shook like a rattle, and he hurriedly said, "Is Aunt the Queen busy too? Or go to Grandma Tai to say hello, and then go to the palace to study." After talking about this arrangement, Ju Cui smiled "gratifiedly" laugh.

For the past seven years, the state of Jin has been in the midst of civil strife. Lin Xuan and his confidantes have secretly provided various support to the rebellious general of the state of Jin from the very beginning. For the state of Jin, there is one less rival to stare at.In the past five years, Zhaoguo has introduced various policies based on recuperation, and business has also developed rapidly in these years. Now Zhaoguo's merchants are spread all over the country, and the big business is in Jin State, and there are industries in Mozambique.It is said that these giant merchants are generally cultivated by Du Penglai, a university scholar, so the annual dividends from the treasury are huge.And these are just the unknown departments of Zhaoguo's treasury revenue in recent years. All countries can feel the changes in Zhaoguo, which has become richer and more tolerant.He had the strength to participate in the internal politics of the Jin State. It was not until the fifth year that the King of Jin State exchanged fifty cities from Zhao State for food, grass and weapons, and Zhao State began to expand its territory in a real sense.From the sixth year onwards, the land of Jin State was bought by Zhao State bit by bit, but all relations were cleared without leaving a trace.After a long period of war, the lives of the people in many cities of the Jin State were in dire straits, and their lives were very poor. Some families even reached the stage of selling their children and daughters.It is said that the people of the neighboring Zhao State lived a life of meat every day. For the people of the Jin State who were already hungry and fainted, they sharpened their heads and wanted to squeeze into the Zhao State.The decrees currently in effect in Zhao State allow all officials to give advice without any hesitation, but if the advice is adopted to benefit the country and the people, the Emperor personally awards medals and bonuses, and officials in Zhao State live with dignity.Moreover, the emperor cherishes talents very much, but capable people will be given opportunities to develop their strengths, whether in mathematics, literature, scientific research, or art. The official responsible for this area is Du Penglai, a university scholar. He is a person with a very good vision for things. There are often different opinions.Therefore, Zhao State is also very attractive to the officials of Jin State. In seven years, countless cities from Jin State were sold to Zhao State, but there was no resistance.The high-ranking officials in charge of the state of Jin are almost all people who have been placed by the state of Zhao. There is almost no opinion against the state of Zhao in the court. The monarch has a lot of money and food.

Zhao Guo unconditionally donated [-] cities to Mo State after obtaining the cities of Jin State. Because Zhou State was sandwiched between Mo State and Jin State, these [-] cities were taken over by Mo State. Zhao Guo was in charge. Even if Zhou Guo wanted to make a fuss about Jin, he had no choice but to get involved in this matter with Zhao Guo and Mo Guo, so he could only do it in a hurry.In addition, Zhou Guojun's health seems to be not as good as before, and he often has insufficient energy.As if overnight, the state of Jin was almost divided by the states of Mo and Zhao, and no matter how much the state of Zhou tried to turn the situation around, it would be impossible.

"Second brother, this time the old bandit Zhou is so angry that he vomits blood." Jiang Lingyue, the envoy who sent away the Jin Kingdom, gestured to Lin Xuan excitedly.Lin Xuan smiled and said nothing, "Let him do nothing, just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and still want to reap the benefits of the fisherman yesterday." Du Penglai said proudly, "Half of the information Zhou Guo received was bought from us, and the content is not Making a decision without false intelligence that is a few days late is tantamount to no defense."

"Reaping the benefits of being a fisherman?" Lin Xuan shook his head disdainfully, "Does he still think he is a fisherman? It's just a small crab on the seashore with infinite imagination, and only the winner is a fisherman. Changan, pass on my order, tonight in the palace Host a banquet to celebrate the arrival of the envoy from the Jin State." Chang An thought about Lin Xuan's perfunctory manner to the envoy from the Jin State just now, "Then... invite the envoy from the Jin State?" Lin Xuan felt amused when he saw Chang An's confused look, and said with a normal face, "Of course we will. Please, I said that the Qing Jin Kingdom came here, how could he be missing."

"Okay, you all go down." Mo Zhiqing asked all the maids and eunuchs in the palace to step back, sat lazily on the chairs and looked at Lin Xuan, and said leisurely: "Your Majesty, don't be nervous, can you?" Are you overjoyed?" Three pairs of probing eyes stared at Lin Xuan's face, which made him a little cautious, and he laughed loudly, "I've been waiting for today in my dreams! Thank you dear ladies for your hard work over the years. All the land we have will be sent to our country." Seeing that Mo Zhiqing sighed again, Lin Xuan hurriedly asked: "Queen, we have worked hard for seven years to achieve today's results, why are you still sighing?"

"I was thinking, what is the King of Jin fighting with the Great General for all these years and lost all the country's land, what is Zhaoguo still doing? Isn't it crazy? Isn't it crazy to still use the little land in his hand to exchange for military pay? "

"Since the queen is so confused, why don't you let Marquis Dingbei talk to the scholar." Lin Xuan suggested.

"This... This problem has also been thought about by my brother," Jiang Lingyue said after a moment of thought, "The problem of the Jin State was only civil strife at first, and later we deployed people to collect information when we saw an opportunity. I often think that the common people don't want to live on a piece of land. Depression, there is no one to farm at all, and the king of Jin and the general came to us to ask for military pay, and the fight became more and more fierce. It is nothing more than greed and fear. Greed is hoping to occupy Jin. All those who make themselves kings, fear that their opponents will succeed and lose will become bandits, greed and fear have made them blind to the interests, or rather than saying that they cannot see the interests, it is better to say that they simply turn a blind eye and are afraid to recognize the reality." Jiang Ling. In the end, Yue felt a little sad for Jin.

Du Penglai nodded, and continued: "My point of view is somewhat similar to that of Lord Hou. In management science, it is called the 'sinking investment effect', because the cost of previous investment is too high to make it difficult for a person to give up the previous investment. King Jin and Mr. The generals and the others have invested too much in destroying each other, and it is impossible to call a stop at this time."

"Human nature is really terrible." Mo Zhiqing said softly, "Then how does the emperor evaluate the efforts made in recent years?"

Lin Xuan stood up, looked at the three of them seriously, and said, "I just decided to do the right thing at the right time, and there will naturally be good rewards waiting for me." Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the three of them and said silently, "In less than half a year, the Mo National Council will unite with me to attack the Zhou Kingdom." Mo Zhiqing sneered, "That's natural. Not long after my elder brother ascended the throne last year, the emperor sent ten cities of the Jin Kingdom as congratulatory gifts to broaden the horizon. Territory is the deep-rooted obsession of almost every generation of the Mo kingdom. He has already recorded all his achievements on him, and feels that his achievements have surpassed the previous emperor." Lin Xuan thought of sending the city of Jin to Mo, but in the end it was Mo. Zhiqing chose the city, she knows what his brother wants better than anyone else.Now the cities are separated by part of the territory of Zhou State, and Mo State cannot send troops to station there. I am very anxious. According to the friendship between the two countries, Mo* has already thought countless times in his heart to turn the territory of Zhou State into Mo. country.

"Since that's the case, let's wait and see what happens." Mo Zhi smiled irrelevantly, since Mo Zhiqing's imperial brother ascended the throne two years ago and heard that the harem was quite full, his imperial brother is still very happy, " You go on, it's not too early and I'm going to see Si'er's homework, the emperor's concubine is leaving." With a happy smile on his face, he left the three of them in the palace.

"The queen has become more and more like a mother these years." Du Penglai said with emotion, Jiang Lingyue also nodded in agreement, "Even I have become mature."

"I don't agree with the last half of the sentence." Jiang Lingyue smiled and met Du Penglai's face, as if she wanted to be beaten up, what can you do with me.Okay, Du Penglai dare to fight him?Immediately asked the emperor for orders, "Your Majesty, the ministers in the court often talk behind their backs, saying that Marquis Hou is not married at this age because he has a habit of breaking his sleeves."

Lin Xuan raised his head in surprise, "There are still such rumors in the court? Let's hear it." Since Du Penglai will not let Jiang Lingyue go, "I dare not say it." Lin Xuan said gently with an expression on his face, " It's okay, I forgive you for your innocence."

"Okay, some people in the court said that Lord Hou has a habit of breaking sleeves with the emperor, and the emperor's true love is Lord Hou, so Lord Hou has not married these years, because the emperor refused to let him and General Muyao was just a cover. The emperor has not had any heirs these years It’s also because I love you so much.” Lin Xuan’s face turned green after hearing this, what does Du Penglai mean by freedom of speech?All this after freedom of speech? !

"Oh, oh, my majesty, I agreed not to be angry!" Seeing Lin Xuan's gloomy eyes staring at him, Du Penglai felt terrified, while Jiang Lingyue gloated at his misfortune.Lin Xuan said very gently, "I'm not angry, it's just that they didn't mention that bachelors are not married?" Lin Xuan's painting style changed suddenly, and he roared, "You two will give you a month to find a good man to marry! There is no suitable candidate for a month, and I will propose marriage to you! You are not joking!"

The two were dumbfounded for a moment, forced to marry!
