Three months later, the ocean sea connecting Gan and the world was officially connected with the Xiliuhai connecting Zhen and the silk country, so far, the Xi country officially opened up the traffic of the north and south sea routes, so that merchant ships and passenger ships can pass through these two seas, so as to vigorously expand the trade of the four countries of Gan, Shiguo, Zhen and Silk Kingdom, and also added a lot of money to the tourism industry, so the people of the whole country are excited.

Standing on the newly-made big ship, looking at the surging river, Emperor Guang'en suddenly felt his blood boiling, and he personally took the first passenger ship to the world to go to the world to make a friendly visit.

The kings, queens, and princes of the kingdom greeted them by the sea.

It's a pity that because Shen Xizhen can't come with her while pregnant, Ye Zhiqiu, the prince of the world, is a little disappointed.

However, when Emperor Guangen handed him the gift that Shen Xizhen had specially prepared for him, the disappointment in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.

However, Ye Zhiqiu was not easy to take apart and look at in person, so he had to carefully put it in his pocket.

Finally, in the evening, Ye Zhiqiu returned to his bedroom, and only then did he take out the gift that Shen Xizhen had given him from his pocket.

With great apprehension, he opened the layers of packaging with trembling hands, and finally after opening the lid of the box, Ye Zhiqiu saw a handmade yellow rose.

For Ye Zhiqiu, who is familiar with the language of flowers, of course he knows that she sent this flower to represent blessings, apologies and lost love.

That's right, she expressed her heart in such a subtle way, and he was not sad.

A long time ago. He was already extremely sad when he learned that she was engaged to Emperor Guang'en, so he was not so sad when he faced her or the gifts she gave him later, but of course this could not stop the love he had for her in his heart. But that was his own business, and he knew it in his heart.

That's why he made up his mind not to marry in this life.

Ye Zhiqiu carefully took the yellow rose in his hand, only to find that a red heart was drawn on the petals of the yellow rose.

Of course, this heart does not only represent the feelings between men and women, but it makes Ye Zhiqiu feel very warm. He prefers it to be an expression of love between a man and a woman.

Even if it's a misunderstanding, let me go on like this - I think you love me.

Ye Zhiqiu said secretly in his heart.

When Ye Zhiqiu looked at the high-spirited Emperor Guangen, the feeling in his heart was complicated. On the one hand, he was glad that Shen Xizhen had chosen it, and on the other hand, he was a little jealous of Emperor Guangen.

But it's just a momentary love. He knew that Shen Xizhen loved Emperor Guangen deeply, so he also hoped that Emperor Guangen would be good, and only that. Shen Xizhen will live happily.

On the day Emperor Guangen left the world, Ye Zhiqiu did not let him bring any gifts to Shen Xizhen.

He knew that he didn't need any gifts between him and Shen Xizhen.

Emperor Guangen breathed a sigh of relief.

When he returned to the palace of Xi Kingdom, Emperor Guangen saw Shen Xizhen slowly walking towards him from a distance, holding his stomach with one hand and supporting his waist with the other.

Even in pregnancy, she is still beautiful. No, it's more beautiful than when you weren't pregnant.

It was so beautiful that Emperor Guangen couldn't take his eyes off it.

"Don't come, Queen. The fetus matters. Emperor Guangen hurriedly stopped. He walked briskly towards her.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, but I miss death, do you miss me?" Emperor Guangen asked in her ear in complete disregard of everyone's eyes.

Shen Xizhen replied with a red face: "Of course." ”

A sweet smile spread across Emperor Guang'en's face.

Because of his busy affairs, Emperor Guangen returned to the Zichen Hall and made a concert.

Since most of the recitals in it had been handed over to Shen Xizhen to see, Shen Xizhen had already helped him classify the recitals of the past few days according to his emergency procedures. Emperor Guangen started with the most urgent batch of twists and turns.

After Emperor Guangen finished reviewing the pile of recitals on the table, Shen Xizhen took his hand and sat at the desk on the side.

"Your Majesty, judging from the twists and turns of the past few days, many princes in the Xi Kingdom have committed crimes. It's time to get them right. ”

Emperor Guangen nodded again and again when he heard this: "Yes, this group of people is now powerful. It also happened to be the time of the country's peace and security, and when they were full of food and drink, they didn't know how to restrain themselves, so I had to teach them a good lesson. ”

"Your Majesty, just teaching them a lesson will only have a temporary effect, and they will definitely commit crimes in the near future, what we have to do is to treat the symptoms and the root cause." Shen Xizhen said.

"How?" Emperor Guangen looked at her and asked.

"Now they have both fame and a certain amount of troops, and what they are most afraid of is that they covet the throne or connect to deal with the imperial court."

There have been rebellions of princes throughout the ages, and this is something that has to be guarded against.

Emperor Guangen's expression also became stern.

Indeed, he did not deny the threat of princes to the throne.

If you want to hold them hostage, you have to find a way to take the military power out of them, but you have to have a convincing reason to take the military power.

Shen Xizhen saw his doubts and said to him, "We can abolish the princely system. ”

Abolish the princely system? Emperor Guangen fell into deep thought.

"Now there are nearly a hundred large and small princes in the Xi Kingdom, and their combined strength is one-third of the imperial court's strength, and to abolish their feudal system will inevitably cause a big dispute, and even cause ......war," Emperor Guangen said in a cautious tone.

But he didn't object to Shen Xizhen's construction, but felt that it was a good idea.

"That's why we have to be more cautious about them, and we need to prevent them as soon as possible, because the abolition will naturally attract opposition from most of the old guards, but we can find a way to get them to strife among themselves, and then we can abolish it in one fell swoop on the grounds of quelling the strife, and then people will not only not oppose it, but will support us." Shen Xizhen replied.

"Does the queen mean to sow discord among the princes?" Emperor Guangen asked with interest.

"Exactly. Now the most wealthy of the princes are Gao Hou, Su Hou and Wei Hou, we can send people who are very good at sowing right and wrong to provoke the three of them, so that they are dissatisfied with each other, and then create a few incidents related to the succession of the throne to exacerbate their contradictions, then they will inevitably report the other party for their own interests, and then we will take the opportunity to send people to investigate, and naturally we can soon find out the truth about their tearing each other, and then we will take this opportunity to launch a policy of abolishing the princely system, and it is a strong launch, At that time, the princes had to compromise. ”

Shen Xizhen said.

This is a way to reap the benefits of a fisherman without much fanfare and fanfare.

"Makes sense!" Emperor Guangen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately discussed with Shen Xizhen how to divide the princes. (To be continued......)
