Great Zhou Empress

Humans are biological creatures that love competition by nature, and it is estimated that the genes that do not love competition have long been eliminated in the long evolutionary years.

Xue Zhijing once read some reports in his previous life, saying that in many Nordic countries, they strongly opposed competition in the process of children's education, because they were worried that their children would be harmed, so many schools canceled their academic rankings, and also After-school tutoring is not allowed, but let them all grow up happily.

But at the same time, after children grow up, they face a new problem in a high-welfare society, that is, the high incidence of depression.

Xue Zhijing still recognizes the positive significance of competition, so she is very interested in the World Congress she is going to do, this World Congress, to put it bluntly, is an Olympic Games, a platform she built for the nations to compete.

Here, you can get a ranking by showing your strength and strength. If you are dissatisfied with your ranking, then work hard and strive for a higher ranking next time.

A country is made up of people, and there are also people's personalities and ideological preferences. When this platform is built and most countries have recognized it, everyone will regard the ranking and competition of this platform as a place worthy of recognition and efforts.

Just like in school, every student has to work hard to get a good ranking in the final exam.

When such a competition platform with sports competition as the core is built, the traditional form of competition based on bloodshed will be much less.What's more, now that the power of all nations is weak, the most powerful Zhou and Liao have taken the lead to set an example, forming an alliance and setting rules. If small countries use the previous form of war to bully the weak, they will be punished by the Great Zhou and Liao. Liao's joint punishment.

The competition was in full swing. Except for a small number of citizens who bought tickets to watch these packed games, other citizens learned about the competition through the daily freshly printed Lichunyuan tabloid and the live broadcast of the storyteller in the restaurant.

In order to make people feel more involved, Xue Zhijing also prepared a lot of peripheral products for the World Congress of Nations for sale, ranging from small wooden plaques that can be purchased with only one or two copper coins to large ones that are carefully crafted and require one or two copper coins or even There are many ceramic handicrafts that can only be purchased to meet the needs of different consumption levels.

Xiao Liege is going to participate in her archery competition with great interest.

She had been looking forward to it before coming here, and Xue Zhijing often accompanied her to practice archery in the square of the palace at night. She has good eyesight, even if the light is dim at night, she can still hit a hundred shots. According to her words, this is a good archer ability.

With such ability, Xiao Liege will win a championship this time.

Xue Zhijing naturally wanted to support her. In order to avoid disturbing the people, Xue Zhijing almost never appeared in the venue during this World Congress. After all, there are many people in the venue and security is not easy to do. If strict security is implemented, it will easily affect the competition.

This competition can be regarded as the highest-level competition. The participants include the ruling princess of the Liao Kingdom, Yuan Jin, the general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and many senior military officers from the two countries.

The remaining participants were only a few people from the Xia Kingdom and some people from the Tubo tribes. Other countries still need to improve in this area, and none of them have passed the preliminary round.

The venue of the archery competition is a very open place, only one side has spectator seats, Xue Zhijing naturally sits in the most core position with the best viewing conditions.

There are ten people in a row, and an archery target is placed at a certain distance in front of them. The target can be zoomed out, which means that their competition is not only the accuracy, but also the distance.

Xiao Liege was wearing her hottest outfit, with a proud expression on her face, she looked up at Xue Zhijing's Fang

Xiang, seeing Zhijing Xue nodded to her, immediately became more confident, she wanted to show her cool and handsome demeanor in front of Zhijing Xue.

In her eyes, no one who can beat her in archery competitions has yet to be born.

However, she looked at Yuan Jin who was flexing her wrist beside her, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, so she said harshly, "Yuan Jin, you are going to lose in a while, so don't cry in front of the scene, I am willing to admit defeat."

Yuan Jin chuckled, "You are the one who is going to cry, so prepare the towel first."

Xiao Liege snorted, and continued his preparations.

Not far from them is Li Haochun, the king of Dabao County in Xia Kingdom. He once wanted to be Xue Zhijing's queen, but Xue Zhijing secretly rejected him, but he has been very quiet since then, as if he wanted to study at the Royal Comprehensive University , Xue Zhijing and the others didn't pay much attention to him.

It's just that he seemed a little strange today. Sure enough, when everyone set up their bows and arrows and prepared, his arrow suddenly turned around and came towards Xue Zhijing in the auditorium.

Everyone didn't expect such an accident, because in the final competition, most of them were military officers from Dazhou and Liao, and the rest were princes from Xia and Tubo tribes, all with status How can a person of status do such a thing as assassination.

Shooting arrows from the competition position to Xue Zhijing's position is an operation that is completely within the shooting range for a sharp archer, and Xue Zhijing is in danger.

Xiao Liege was extremely keen, like her intuition. When she was about to bend her bow and shoot an arrow, she glanced to the side, and saw Li Haochun's arrow turn. In a blink of an eye, she immediately followed suit, and the arrow turned. The cluster shot out instantly, hitting Li Haochun's arrow in the air.

Xue Zhijing couldn't dodge at all, she had such a second opportunity to dodge to the side, and then saw Li Haochun's arrow was hit and landed beside her, and Xiao Liege's arrow shot all the way to the eaves at the top of the auditorium, piercing deeply.

It was enough to see how much effort she had put in.

After the arrows fell, Xiao Liege turned around and ran towards Li Haochun, kicked him to the ground, and then hit Li Haochun hard with the bow in her hand.

Xue Zhijing paused for a few seconds to recover himself, and then immediately ordered, "Catch Li Haochun, control all the participating members of the Xia Kingdom and their princes, and continue the competition after a stick of incense for the rest of the members."

It's all like this, Xue Zhijing naturally can't stay here.

To continue the competition, this matter cannot be an obstacle. At the same time, she must leave to provide the venue with a space for competition.

Naturally, Xiao Liege couldn't compete anymore, she was about to die of anger, someone dared to assassinate Xue Zhijing right under her nose, grandma, if she wasn't alert, her baby would probably be injured.

Xue Zhijing and Xiao Liege got into the carriage and went back to the palace.

After getting into the car, Xiao Liege's eyes were still red, he groped Xue Zhijing's body in disbelief, and said, "Are you really okay, no scratches or anything, I'm about to die of anger, If it wasn't for the fact that the venue is not so good to see blood, I could have given that Dabao County King a blow with my sword."

"I'm really fine." Xue Zhijing coaxed her with a smile, "Let them interrogate this person and see what's going on."

Then, Xiao Liege scolded Li Haochun all the way, but Xue Zhijing kept thinking, why on earth did he come to assassinate him at this time, and what should he do after this incident.

But no matter what the reason is, Xia Kingdom needs to pay the price for this matter, otherwise the international order established by the Congress of All Nations will be meaningless. Without punitive measures, a system cannot last for a long time.

Because of the extremely bad nature of this matter, the person who received the interrogation order was very nervous and used all his strength to reach a conclusion at night.

Xue Zhijing and Xiao Liege received the statement that this matter was decided by Li Haochun and his teacher himself. Li Haochun came to the Great Zhou this time to put all his eggs in one basket. He wanted to obtain the status of Queen of the Great Zhou, and then looked for opportunities to return Go to Xia Guo to take back the throne that his father "should" have.

And Xue Zhijing not only refused to give him a chance, but also married the princess of the Liao Kingdom, which ruined all his plans. He had no choice but to take risks. If Xue Zhijing was assassinated here, Xue Zhijing would only have an adopted daughter who was less than four years old. In the great chaos, he can let Xia Guo take the opportunity to eat away at the land of Da Zhou. If he is lucky, he can even take most of the land of Da Zhou. took a step.

Xia Guo's envoy said that they were completely unaware of this matter, and it was Li Haochun's own idea.

Xue Zhijing and Xiao Liege had a discussion.

"The only thing we can do is to send troops. You and I attack Xia from the north and the south, make their emperors apologize, proclaim themselves ministers, demote themselves to be dukes, ban all the troops, and hand over diplomatic power."

Xiao Liege said angrily, "If you want me, you will destroy their country. They say that Li Haochun wants to assassinate you. Who knows if it's their plan. This is the enemy."

Xue Zhijing looked at her, "What is the difference between my request and the destruction of the country? They will definitely not agree."

Xiao Liege nodded, "That's right, they will definitely resist desperately, and they will be wiped out when the time comes."

Xue Zhijing said, "Let's go as soon as possible, and take advantage of the convening of the Ten Thousand Nations Conference to give a warning to all nations."

In the end, the two decided on a plan. Dazhou would let Chen Tang lead the army, and Liao Kingdom would let Zhen Yuan lead the army. Both of them belonged to the first echelon of senior generals, and this kind of crusade was suitable for them.

For the convening of the Universal Assembly, the Great Zhou and the Liao Kingdom had stockpiled a large number of soldiers and horses in the border areas near the capitals of the two countries. They also prepared food and grass to prepare for possible turmoil, so it only took two days. After sorting it out, Chen Tang and Zhen Yuan led their troops to the expedition.

From Wan Guocheng to Xia Guo, the distance is very short, and it will take only five days to enter the border of Xia Guo.

The Ten Thousand Nations Conference on the Ten Thousand Nations City side is still being held enthusiastically, and it has not been delayed at all because of this assassination incident, but people have discovered that the daily tabloids will mention the incident of the Xia Kingdom, and also mention the alliance army's attack on the country. Xia Guo's crusade, although the content is not much, and it will not seem alarmist, but it makes people pay attention to it almost every day.

The Ten Thousand Nations Conference was no longer as relaxed as before, and the atmosphere began to be a little dignified. The princes of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms seemed to feel that Da Zhou, the always smiling empress, didn't seem to be so annoying, and the ruling princess of the Liao Kingdom was also very scary.

This is just right, whether it is a group or a national alliance, a leader must not only have the strength and ability to convince people, but also have a deterrent force that makes people fear.
