"No way!" Shang Rui was anxious all of a sudden, and said angrily:

"Then the princes of the world have to be awarded by the empire! He Qin mainly dares to be the king, that is, self-reliance! I won't allow it! ”

He is right, just like the current eight powerful monarchs, their ancestors were also awarded by the emperor, and they are hereditary princes with legitimate names, but with the gradual weakening of imperial power, the countries began to compete for hegemony, and they have evolved to this day, forming a pattern of division of mountains and rivers.

But Shang Rui is still the Son of Heaven after all, he is the king of the world, and there will always be an imperial flag in his hands.

However, when Dong Hua heard this, he was a little embarrassed and said: "But Your Majesty, it is a foregone conclusion that the Lord of Qin will be the king, if Your Majesty does not allow it, I am afraid that it will ...... I'm afraid that Lord Qin will be annoyed and angry. ”

"Now, there can be no more kings in this world! It's a big deal, I, I named him the Marquis of Qin! Shang Rui was even more anxious, but he also understood that the current Xiao Yuan was no longer the same, and while speaking, he also subconsciously looked at Lu Bolin.

Seeing this, the latter couldn't help but swallow his saliva, now, the four countries attacked Qin, but they couldn't destroy Qin, and they couldn't even break through the Shanyu Pass, although the empire still had some troops, could Lu Bolin go and fight the Qin army? Where did he have that guts?

The current imperial court, without Zhong Bai, can be said to be a group of decay!

In the past, when Zhong Bai was there, with his military talents, if there were princes who were not subservient, Zhong Bai would definitely be the first to stand up and fight! But now, if there is really a war, I am afraid that any country can destroy the Son of Heaven, but everyone does not dare to risk the condemnation of the world.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, the Qin army is brave and good at fighting, enough to be called a tiger and wolf, if the empire is determined to stand on its own, it will send troops to attack it, but if it is attacked, I am afraid that it will ...... I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat the Qin army, on the contrary, it is very likely that it will also incur soldiers, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice......" Lu Bolin stammered.

"That'...... So what do you mean? Shang Rui ran out of ideas again.

Lu Bolin said: "Rather than this, it is better to push the boat with the water, now, the situation in the world is treacherous, Qin is the king, let him be called, the empire side, it is really not appropriate to interfere too much." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, many imperial ministers stood up and echoed:

"Yes, Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, if you incur the Qin army, the empire will be in danger......"

"The nations are fighting for hegemony, if the Lord of Qin wants to participate in it, he will die sooner or later, Your Majesty can just watch from the wall, there is no need to offend again......"

In the past, the officials of the imperial court, who could afford Qin Di and Xiao Yuan, but now, with the Qin army breaking the Four-Power Alliance, it has become known to the world.

Looking at this scene, Shang Rui's eyes widened, and then he said blankly: "In the world, there is another king......

At this time, the concubine began to say beside her: "Your Majesty, that Qin Lord Xiao Yuan, and the traitor Zhong Bai, as righteous brothers, have long had a heart of disobedience, Your Majesty must not let him be the king of Qin." ”

"I don't want to, but I love the concubine, I, do I have a way......" Shang Rui said with a sad face.

On the other hand, since the four kingdoms attacked Qin, the king of Jin couldn't let go of Guangling, and began to send envoys to Liang, and in this matter, the two countries began a long-term negotiation.

On the one hand, King Liang prevaricated perfunctorily, that is, he did not return Guangling, and on the other hand, he also sent his minister Cai Yan to secretly enter Qin and meet Xiao Yuan.

With the combat strength of the Liang army and the national strength of the Liang country, if you really want to fight a big war with the Jin country, King Liang is actually not afraid, but if you can pull an ally, it is naturally better.

Cai Yan entered Qin, in order to be prepared, learned of his arrival, by Liu Yuzhi on behalf of Xiao Yuan to welcome, the two met, first politely greeted, and the next morning, Liu Yuzhi led him to Xiao Yuan's study.

On the way, the two chatted while walking, Cai Yan said with a smile: "The major military affairs of Qindi, the Lord of Qin is mostly handled by Lord Liu, and the internal affairs of the people's livelihood are also the sole responsibility of Lord Liu. ”

"Huh? Lord Cai can't talk nonsense about this matter, I am full of talents in Qindi, I don't know how many talents, this prime minister's position, how can it not be the turn of the next one. Liu Yuzhi said hurriedly.

"Lord Liu is too humble." Cai Yang said with a smile.

The two talked, and also came to the outside of the study, outside the door, there was Xu Hu hanging a war sword on his waist, tall, like a door god, after arriving here, Liu Yuzhi asked directly: "The lord is here?" ”

"Yes, Master Liu later, I'll go and report it." For Liu Yuzhi, Xu Hu is still very polite.

"There's General Law." The latter also arched his hand.

After a while, Xiao Yuan signaled, and the two entered the study.

After taking a few steps forward, Cai Yan faced Xiao Yuan, bowed his hand, and gave a deep salute: "Liang envoy Cai Yan, I have seen Lord Qin." ”

His etiquette is still relatively in place, Xiao Yuan heard this, smiled heartily, waved his hand and said: "Lord Cai doesn't need to be polite, he is busy with affairs, and he can't greet him, I'm really sorry." ”

"Where is it, Lord Qin is tormented." Cai Yan hurriedly said a word, and then, on behalf of King Liang, he began to get closer to Xiao Yuan, and spoke of Qin Liangzhi's friendship.

As he spoke, he also brought the topic to the attack on Qin by the Four Kingdoms:

"As we all know, the previous attack on Qin by the Four Kingdoms was the strategy of the King of Jin, and when the fierce battle was in full swing, if the Liang army suddenly joined the war, I am afraid that the alliance of the four countries would not easily retreat, and the bitter battle of Qin, I don't know how long it will last."

As far as the entire battle situation is concerned, the Liang army did play some roles, but the purpose of the Liang State was not to help Qin, but to Guangling.

If the King of Jin does not increase his troops to Shanyuguan, if the Qin army cannot resist at all, then I am afraid that King Liang will not dare to act rashly.

What kind of help Qin, it's just Cai Yan putting gold on his face.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled slightly, and said: "What Lord Cai said is right, but if there is no Qin army, a large number of troops of the Jin army will be contained in front of Shanyu Pass, King Liang, how can he seek to capture Guangling?" ”

"Hehe, this." Cai Yan laughed dryly, and he was a little stuttered, but he immediately rolled his eyes, and said: "Yes, what Lord Qin said is extremely true, and it is precisely because of this that my king is willing to be friendly with Qin Yong, so that for both parties, it is the real benefit......"

"Of course, King Liang wants to get along with Qin, Qin, naturally, he is happy." Xiao Yuandao.

The purpose of Cai Yan's trip was to worry that if the Jin Kingdom would not return to Guangling, a war would break out in Jin Liang, and he wanted to win over Xiao Yuan before the war.

For this, Xiao Yuan knew very well, on the surface, he did not easily promise anything to Liangguo, but avoided the important in words, if Jin attacked Liang, the Qin army would move, but when to move, this has to be said separately.

Perhaps, it was when the Jin army was pinned down by the Liang army.

But he can say this, Cai Yan is already very satisfied, and then, the two talked again, and then Xiao Yuan set up a banquet, entertained Cai Yan warmly, and arranged for him to rest in the post house.

Two days later, Cai Yan began to resign and returned to Liangguo satisfied.

However, regarding the matter of Guangling, Xiao Yuan didn't think that Jin Liang would really go to war, and the King of Jin should not dare to use troops lightly now.

The land of China, the countries of the Central Plains, should be in a short period of peace, and Xiao Yuan will also make great efforts to govern the country, and thoroughly put administrative areas and agricultural education on a daily basis.

The construction of the palace is still in full swing, and at the same time, Xiao Yuan also passed a military order, allowing the soldiers of the three armies to return to their hometowns in batches and give them a vacation.
