"Your Majesty, the stronger the enemy, the faster our growth will be, so having a few strong enemies is not necessarily a bad thing." Xi Zhen said.

"That's right, not to mention that I still have a military advisor like you by my side, uh-huh, then this matter will be done as you say." Emperor Guangzhao's heart knot opened instantly.

"Okay, then we can send someone to clean up the courtyard on the wind and smoke slope, after all, all the people who come are representatives of various countries, and we should also fulfill the friendship of landlords in terms of etiquette and details." Xi Zhen said again.

"That is, I will arrange for the crown prince and the king of Qingping to be in charge of this work." Emperor Guangzhao said with a smile.

As long as the matter is decided, Emperor Guangzhao's action will be very fast, and he immediately asked Gonggong Liu to invite the crown prince and Chu Zihou to come.

"You two will go up to the wind and smoke tomorrow and see what else you need over there, remember, dress it up in style and elegance, and feel at home." Emperor Guangzhao commanded them.

"Yes, Father!" They said in unison.

Fengyanpo is a big slope, from the slope to the distance can see the border scenery of Gongguo and Zhang Siguo, and you can also see the three big cities of Xi from afar, it is a place with a broad vision, pleasant scenery and unique nature.

When Chu Zican and Chu Zihou arrived here, they saw that the mountains were full of colorful wildflowers, and the fragrance of flowers was slowly transmitted with the breeze, making people feel light even when they breathed.

There is a large courtyard covering an area of dozens of acres on the slope of wind and smoke, which was built by the emperor in order to allow his mother to recuperate here.

The courtyard is shaped in a courtyard style, and the courtyard is planted with palms, orange trees, bamboo, tsubaki trees, locust trees, laurel trees, and a variety of flowers. There are also some bonsai plants with elaborate shapes. There is also a small lotus pond in the courtyard on the west side, although it is not yet the flowering season of lotus flowers, but the green leaves with the clear water of the lake also have a unique charm.

"Put a row of chairs in the vestibule that you can back on. Three long tables are put together in the middle. A welcome pine is placed in the center of the hall, and a pot of flowers, a few books, and a few calligraphy and paintings are placed on the table in each room......" Chu Zican told Chu Zihou about his plan, and Chu Zihou nodded again and again.

Chu Zican has a talent for home furnishings, and Chu Zihou knows that he is not as good as him in this regard, so he decided to listen to his arrangement.

"Over there, you can hang a few birdcages on that big tree, and raise larks, thrushes, yellow finch, and parrots. This can also add a casual touch. Chu Zican continued.

Chu Zihou nodded.

"Second brother, what do you think?" Chu Zican suddenly realized that he had been talking all along, but he forgot that Chu Zihou hadn't said a word yet. Hurriedly turned around and asked apologetically.

"I'm far inferior to my eldest brother in decorating the house, so I just do what my eldest brother wants, and by the way, you can also build a shed at the entrance of the courtyard as a performance stage. We can invite musicians, troupes and dancers to perform. This will also give them some entertainment in their leisure time. "Chu Zihou.

Chu Zican smiled: "Second brother's idea is very good, then do it according to your wishes." ”

…………

In the blink of an eye, there were still three days left before the meeting of the Four-Nation Alliance, and the people in the palace were busy in an orderly manner.

In the afternoon of the next day, the guests of the three countries arrived at Fengyanpo one after another.

The earliest to arrive was the representative of the Gong State, whose personnel included Yan Hao, the monarch of the Gong State, Yan Che, the crown prince, and ten envoys.

Yan Hao looked less than fifty years old, slightly chubby, but tall, shapely, and powerful.

Yan Che is about twenty years old. He is handsome and elegant, but he is not manly.

Immediately after that came was Zhang Siguo's representative. Among them were Yan Yuan, the monarch of Zhang Siguo, Yan Kai, the crown prince, Yan Jun, the second prince, and eight envoys.

Yan Yuan is gentle, restrained, and has an outstanding temperament, and at first glance he knows that he is a person who has read poetry and books. Yan Kai is personable, Yan Jun is shy and shy, and the appearance of the two is very close, which is difficult to distinguish.

The last to arrive were the representatives of the Mao State -- Deng Yan, the monarch of the Mao State, Liu Ming, the prime minister, and 15 envoys.

Deng Yan looked very generous. But the eyes are shining. Liu Ming is slightly short, but his appearance is extraordinary and his demeanor is serious.

Emperor Guangzhao stood on the tower and watched this battle, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart - if this was before, where could Xi Kingdom invite them.

Emperor Guangzhao suddenly had the feeling of 'thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi', and decided to grasp the current opportunity and strive to do what he should do.

……………

The next day, the meeting of the Four-Nation Alliance was held on time.

"First of all, please Rong Zhen to introduce to you the proposer of this alliance - Guang'an Hou Shen Xizhen." Emperor Guangzhao made a gesture with his right hand towards Shen Xizhen to invite him to come out.

Xizhen then slowly walked out of the line and greeted everyone.

The representatives of the three countries immediately looked at her.

But seeing that she was only seventeen or eighteen years old, she looked more beautiful than a flower, and her eyes were as clear as a calm lake.

Her appearance made everyone feel a sense of love for no reason.

Many of the extraordinary reforms in the Xi Kingdom came from such a weak woman, and they immediately admired her to the ground.

At the meeting, Xi Zhen told everyone about the purpose of giving the "Wealth of Nations" and suggested that everyone actively join the alliance.

"A country is not rich, it is rare that everyone can get rich, so the little girl will think of writing this book for everyone, I hope everyone can give the little girl the opportunity to spread this book to your country, so that it can serve your country." Xi Zhen said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"The Wealth of Nations is concise and to the point, it is a rare good book, and I also feel enlightened after reading it, so it is a good book for Zhizhi to have."

No one wanted to miss "The Wealth of Nations", so they expressed their willingness to join the Four-Power Alliance.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Emperor Guangzhao immediately read the main content of the Four-Power Alliance, which involved economic, military, educational, medical and other aspects, and everyone nodded in agreement after listening to it.

"It is held once a year, so that the gap between the rich and the poor between the four countries will be reduced, and the relationship between countries will become more and more harmonious, and the entire Central Plains region will be like a hard whole, so that people from other places will not be able to enter." Emperor Guangzhao said again.

Everyone nodded.

"But, here's the problem, Your Majesty. Do we have to come to Fengyanpo every year to talk? Deng Yan, the monarch of the Mao Kingdom, asked timidly.

The audience suddenly lowered their voices.

"In order to take into account the feelings of the four countries, we decided to go to one country a year...... Let's start from the host country of Xi, then go to the country of Gong, Mao and Zhang Si, and then return to Xi...... And so on," said Xi Zhen.

The crowd applauded.

With such a proper arrangement, no one dared to raise dissatisfied opinions.

Thus, the Quadruple Alliance officially entered into force.

The representatives of the three countries returned to their countries with a letter of association and satisfaction.

Soon after, "The Wealth of Nations" and Shen Xizhen's reputation spread among the people of the four countries. (To be continued......)
