In the mansion of Prince Zhao Guo, Prince Zhao Chongji carefully held out a box, the box was carved out of red sandalwood, and there were things wrapped in layers of silk in the box.

"Prince, this concubine bought a treasure." Chong Ji put the box in front of Prince Zhaoxuan.The prince of Zhao Guo is 24 to [-] years old, tall and burly, with a dignified appearance.

"Oh, what treasure did Ai Ji buy again?" Zhao Xuan pulled the beloved Ji into his arms with one hand, and drank the fine wine in the glass with the other.

"This is a precious mirror. You can see your face, hair and skin clearly." Ai Ji smiled coquettishly in Zhao Xuan's arms, and she also bought the glass in Zhao Xuan's hand with a lot of money.Ai Ji is Zhao Xuan's favorite beauty, who likes extravagant and beautiful things.

"Treasure mirror?" Zhao Xuan frowned, and slightly loosened his arms around Chong Ji.

"Prince, please see?" Ai Ji didn't notice the change in Zhao Xuan's expression, she was still happy to present the treasure.

Ai Ji opened layers of brocade silk, took out a palm-sized mirror and handed it to Zhao Xuan.

"How much does this treasure cost?" Zhao Xuan held up the mirror in front of him, the eyebrows of the person in the mirror were like paint, and the eyes were like cold stars.

"I originally asked for [-] gold, but because the merchant from Chu was close to my concubine, he only asked for [-] gold." Only then did Ai Ji realize that Zhao Xuan's face was not hesitant, and she replied cautiously.

"Buy less luxuries in the future." Zhao Xuan felt sullen in his heart, he put the mirror back into the red sandalwood box, got up from the chair and stood up straight.

"Yes!" Ai Ji hastily followed and got down on the bed, bending over and lowering her body.

Zhao Xuan didn't look back to feel sorry for the half-kneeling beloved concubine, strode out of Ai Ji's exquisite courtyard, and went straight back to the prince's residence.

Waiting until Zhao Xuan disappeared, Ai Ji's maid dared to enter the room to help the master.

"What's wrong with the prince? Madam just bought a small mirror. The mirror that the princess bought two months ago is twice as big as Madam's, and she paid the merchant [-] gold more than Madam. Not only did the prince not get angry when he saw it, he also I like it very much, the prince is too eccentric."

"Don't chew your tongue too much!" Ai Ji had tears in her eyes. Although she scolded her maid, she actually had the same thoughts in her heart.

Two months ago, the Crown Princess spent [-] gold from a businessman from her home country to buy a mirror. This kind of mirror can illuminate people's fine hairs. It was a sensation in the Crown Prince's residence, which attracted Zhao Xuan to stay at the Crown Princess's place for several nights. Half a month ago, the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in the government diagnosed that the princess was pregnant. Calculating the time, she was pregnant in the few days when she bought the mirror.

Two years ago, the king of Zhao gradually handed over the power to the crown prince. Zhao Xuan was called the crown prince, and he was actually in charge of the king.One year ago, Zhao Xuan married the younger sister of the King of Yan as the Crown Princess. The daughter of Yan Ji was noble and dignified, and Zhao Xuan respected her very much. The location of the master.Ai Ji is Zhao Xuan's favorite beauty, the princess's first look at her was half a smile, which made Ai Ji shiver.

Ai Ji felt that the princess was conceived by a mirror, and the mirror was a mascot, so she wanted to buy a mirror of higher quality than the princess to improve her luck. When the clarity of the mirror was high, he immediately paid a lot of money to buy it without hesitation, but he didn't expect that presenting treasures to Zhao Xuan would actually offend him.

Zhao Xuan returned to his prince's residence and ordered his attendants to summon Wen Zai and Wu Zai of Zhao Guo.

"Serve Wenzai and Wuzai tea soup." Zhao Wenzai is an old official of King Zhao, and Zhao Wuzai is a young general who was just promoted by Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan was very polite to his courtiers.

"Thank you, Prince!" The two courtiers knelt and sat down on the mat under Zhao Xuan's head.

"I don't know where this exquisite utensil was made. It's really beautiful." Zhao Wuzai praised the glass cup containing tea soup in his hand.

When Zhao Xuan heard Wu Zai praise the tea set, he couldn't help but heaved a long sigh: "This year, a large area of ​​farmland in the whole territory is in short supply, but the royal court is spending extravagantly, Xuan is very worried."

"Yes, if the royal court continues to be so ignorant, it will cause great harm to the country. The crown prince should prohibit the princes and ministers from buying." Zhao Wuzai felt that Zhao Xuan was right to worry about the catastrophe of the country. The nobles should reduce their expenses and have even less money. Flow out.

"Cough cough!" Wen Zai coughed twice. It is none other than Zhao Wang who spends the most extravagantly in the Zhao Kingdom. After Zhao Wang handed over the important tasks of the country to his son, he began to thoroughly enjoy life and pursue delicious food. "This matter can't be rash, the prince can think of a proper way."

Zhao Xuan glanced at Zhao Wenzai, slightly approving, after all, he is an old minister, who handles things safely and has comprehensive ideas. If he could directly order the royal court not to buy foreign luxury goods, Zhao Xuan would have done so long ago.

"If you don't prohibit it, what else can you think of?" Zhao Wuzai hates Wenzai, an old guy, who always keeps it secret.

"You can start with the businessman." Zhao Wenzai suggested slowly.

"Haha! That's right, as long as you start with the businessman!" Zhao Xuan reacted quite quickly, and as soon as Wenzai finished speaking, he burst into laughter. Zhao Xuan deeply felt that Zhao Wenzai was worthy of Zhao Guodong. The nobles of Zhao State can also fundamentally curb the outflow of Zhao State's money.

Zhao Xuan thought of a way to deal with luxury goods, and stopped discussing this matter now, but talked about Wu Guo with the two important ministers.

"The news came back from the secret work of Wu State that Ulsan's 5 troops defeated Wu Wangting's army, and Wangting's [-] troops were wiped out." When Zhao Xuan said this news, his face was quite unhappy.

The country of Zhao suffered a severe drought this year, and the crops were in short supply. After hearing that his cousin, Prince Zhao, was recruited into the palace by Yi Ji and beheaded, Zhao Xuan's first thought was that he would be a teacher. By sending out troops, you can occupy several cities in the state of Wu openly, and when you return to the division, you can also destroy the state of Wei by the way.

The state of Wei is sandwiched between Zhao and Wu, because Zhao and Wu are equal in national strength, and neither of the two countries allows the other side to use force against Wei, in order to prevent the other side from being threatened after they border on their own borders.Now that the state of Wu in chaos will not have the power to stop Zhao, it is a good time for Zhao to embezzle the land.

Just when Zhao Xuan was about to tighten his belt to negotiate with Wei Guo and use force against Wu Guo, the secret agreement between Prince Zhao and King Zhao was found out by Yi Ji and spread all over the world. Zhao Guo not only had no reason to use soldiers against Wu, but also Give people an image of ulterior motives.Zhao Xuan was afraid of arousing the vigilance of other countries by insisting on Wu Yongbing, so he had no choice but to stand still.After Zheng Yuming raised the banner of Young Master Ming, Zhao Xuan lost all reason to send troops.

"Is the Governor of Luoyan in Ulsan really the third son Ming of the King of Wu?" Zhao Wuzai was very curious about Zheng Yuming. Wang Jie, a famous scholar from the state of Xu, left the country during the harvest festival. Zhao was the first to travel. Wang Jie was full of praise for Zheng Yuming. , There is also a lot of praise for Chu Chaohui.

Zhao Wenzai stroked his beard and nodded: "It's probably true. The old general of the Wu Kingdom, the Ying family, brought the tigers to join him. The Governor of Luoyan's sonship should be true."

In Zhao Wenzai's impression, the Ying clan is the most loyal to Wu.If Zheng Yuming didn't have royal blood, the Hussar General wouldn't have stayed there at all.

"The identity should be absolutely true, because Wu Wang's uncle brought the people in the fief to defect there. If Governor Luoyan was not from the blood of the Wu royal family, Xihou would not go to defect." Xihou defected to Ulsan and the Ulsan crossing. It was Zhao Xuan who received the news, neither Zhao Wenzai nor Zhao Wuzai knew about it.

"Prince, this Young Master Ming seems to be very powerful. He will probably be the next ruler of the Wu Kingdom." Zhao Wuzai admired Ulsan's victory with few enemies.

"It's hard to say anything until the last moment." Zhao Wenzai still stroked his beard and spoke slowly.

"That's right, we can't come to a conclusion until the last moment." Zhao Xuan stared at the map on the desk and pondered. Yiji still has strength in her hands, and with the support of the tall and strong city of Cannes, who is the final victor of Wu? It is not yet possible to make a definite statement.

Zhao Xuan hopes that the battle in Wu State will not be one-sided, and it will not end too quickly. It is best to lose both sides. When Wu State's vitality is seriously injured, even if Zhao State cannot snatch Wu State's city, it can still rush before Wu State regains its vitality. Annexed Weiguo.

Just when Prince Zhao was drooling over Wu Guo and Wei Guo, Yi Ji was entertaining two ladies in the palace.

"Two ladies, eat well." Yi Ji was dressed in a black dress inlaid with gold silk, elegant and luxurious, with a smile all over her face. Sitting in front of her were two wives, Nan Sima and Dong Sima.

"Thank you Queen Mother for your gift!" Mrs. Nan Sima and Mrs. Dong Sima saluted respectfully and thanked each other.

"The two generals are working very hard to defend the country at the border. Your Majesty wants to send someone to condolences. The two wives can write a letter from home for the sympathy envoy to take." Yi Ji smiled, but she was cursing Dong Sima and Nan Sima in her heart.

The 1-strong army that attacked Ulsan was wiped out, leaving only more than [-] soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers in the capital.The safety of Cannes, the royal capital, is at stake.After the victory in Ulsan, the lord who was watching immediately stood on Zheng Yuming's side with a clear banner. Yiji could not get troops from the lord, and there were no strong men around Dalseong, nor could auxiliary soldiers be replenished.In desperation, Yi Ji could only ask Lord Tang to retreat and let Huben Huidu at the border protect him. She didn't want Lord Tang to pretend to retreat and lead the army to invade as soon as the Wu army at the border retreated.It turned out that Tang Guozhu was afraid that Yi Ji would lose the battle, and he wanted to take advantage of Wu's civil war to take advantage of the civil war, so that he could occupy the shore of the East China Sea first.

East Sima and South Sima had originally planned not to help each other. After the victory in Ulsan, the balance in the hearts of the two Sima leaned towards Zheng Yuming. After receiving Yiji's order to move the division, since their relatives were all in the capital, they obeyed the order on the surface. The troops were withdrawn, but the march back to the division was slow, taking one step, resting twice, and the journey of half a month was determined to take half a year.After learning about the invasion of the Tang army, the two Sima immediately stopped their dawdling actions, and while leading the army to quickly stop the invaders, they sent back the battle report to the capital.

"This..." Dong Sima and Mrs. Nan Sima looked at each other, they had a channel to send news to their husbands, and they didn't need Yi Ji to be so attentive.

But the maid had already spread paper and ink in front of them, and the two Mrs. Sima could only bite the bullet and write some homely words.

"Come here, take the two ladies to the side palace to rest." Yi Ji picked up the letter in satisfaction, and blew on the wet ink on the letter paper.

The family members of the two Sima have all been taken to the palace and placed under house arrest. This letter accompanied by the condolence attendant is an ultimatum to the two Sima. You should understand what this means.

If the two Sima don't want to end up like Bei Sima, I believe they will move immediately with the army.
