Time flies, and three months have passed in a blink of an eye.

The earth has turned from green to yellow, and the shouts of the autumn harvest have sounded, resounding in the land of China.

After three months of governance, Daxia has popularized all benevolent government to the Dongqi region, and the old people of Zhao State were overjoyed and tearful when they saw Daxia's policy of benefiting the people. There is no harm if there is no comparison, the policy of the Qin State has set off the benevolent government of Great Xia, do the old people of the Zhao State still need to choose?

In fact, the Qin State also wanted to implement benevolent government, and also wanted to reduce taxes and forced labor, but now that the natural disasters are so serious, the state has to take out the grain from the treasury every year for relief, even if the Qin State is rich, only in and out, his treasury will be exhausted, so he can't endlessly reduce taxes.

On the other hand, with the support of new crops in Great Xia, it can boldly reduce taxes in the Dongqi region.

In addition, Xiao Rui has the royal blood of Zhao State, which is also a big advantage, and he directly won over Zhao Min, so in the past three months, the situation in the Dongqi region has become better and better.

At the beginning, in order to stabilize the old people of Zhao State, Qin Zheng had migrated to Qin people for intermarriage, for these Qin people, the policy of Great Xia was also very open-minded, willing to stay and accept as the people of Great Xia, unwilling to stay, they could leave the Dongqi region and return to Qin, and the door of the three passes of the Qinling Mountains would be opened for them.

However, there are very few people who are willing to move away, and they are not stupid, such a good policy treatment, fools will leave.

As for how to govern the sixteen counties of Dongqi, Daxia already has a familiar routine, turning the original soup into raw food, first stabilizing the sixteen counties and then dispatching officials to Daxia.

So in the past three months, Daxia has been developing day by day.

On the other hand, Qin Zheng did not settle the rebellion of Qin Yu, the king of Xiang, and Qin Xiang, the king of Zhuang, during this time, they occupied several counties for entanglement, and the army of conquest could not eliminate them for a long time.

It is now the autumn harvest, and the Qin State was affected by the disaster and did not get a bumper harvest, to be exact, the common people did not get a bumper harvest, and the only harvest was to pay taxes. Civil strife and people's livelihood are unstable, and the current Qin State is already on the verge of chaos.

Xiao Rui has promised the system to unify Shenzhou within three years, which seems to be a long time, but you must know that half a year has passed since the system was promised, and although he has won the Dongqi region, the pace is still too slow.

So Xiao Rui needs to speed up the pace.

He had already ordered Zhang Liang to reorganize his troops and horses in the Anxi Prefectures, wait for the task of the autumn harvest, and immediately start attacking the Qin State!

Among the remaining four kingdoms, the first one to be destroyed is Qin!

Yan and Wei in the south were fighting each other, and the help of the Great Xia soldiers and horses allowed the Yan State to divert from its disadvantage, not only to contain the pace of the Wei State, but then to begin a counterattack.

Emperor Wei had a good plan and wanted to use the attack on Yan to weaken the strength of the domestic princes, but he forgot.

If the Wei army has an advantage, it can take advantage of this, but when the Wei army encounters a disadvantage, the Wei emperor should not think of taking advantage of it. The princes can't see the benefits, so they naturally won't buy his account, they already have their own ghosts, it's not a rope, and naturally they can't be screwed together.

The consequence of not being able to screw together was that the defeat of the Wei army became more and more obvious, and finally under the encirclement of Yan and Xia, it suffered a big defeat, and Yan completely changed from resistance to attack.

Emperor Wei, who got the result, was furious, angrily scolding the princes from all walks of life for having different intentions, and at the same time had a deep resentment towards Xiao Rui, if it wasn't for the intervention of Great Xia, how could the Wei army be defeated so quickly?

Therefore, Emperor Wei immediately wrote a letter to Yan Guo, telling them about the wolf ambition of Great Xia, and in the future, it would be easy for Yan to invite the gods and send the gods, so as to drive a wedge between the Xia and Yan countries.

This strategy of discord did have an effect, and there were many discussions in Yandu, and the civil and military ministers were also worried.

As the commander of the support for Yan this time, Xiaoyong Marquis Wang Feng also heard the rumors, and he felt that it was necessary to express his position, so he wanted to ask to see Emperor Yan.

was subconsciously rejected by Yan Linglong, saying that the relationship between the two countries was unbreakable, and there was no need to care about the divisive plans of outsiders. Who knows, the little emperor Xiao Qiye carried Yan Linglong and Wang Feng, the Marquis of Xiaoyong, into Yandu.

Therefore, Wang Feng handed over the command to Huo Xingye and led people to Yandu by himself.

And after Yan Linglong knew the situation, it was already too late, and Wang Yang, the brave Marquis, was preparing to enter the palace.

"No, I have to enter the palace too!" Yan Linglong said immediately.

Hua Zheng asked, "Princess, why did Your Majesty summon the Marquis of Great Xia without telling you?" ”

Yan Linglong said: "This is exactly what this palace is worried about, I don't know what the hell he is doing in the seventh night." Don't look at this little guy is small, he already has his own ideas, and he is as smart as a demon, I'm really afraid that he will see something. ”

"No, it won't." Hua Zheng asked.

Yan Linglong immediately glared at Hua Zheng and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you!" You have nothing to do, what do you keep mentioning Xiao Rui in front of him! even showed him Xiao Rui's portrait! ”

Hua Zheng was a little embarrassed, and she didn't expect such a consequence.

Yan Linglong immediately left the palace and rushed towards the palace.

It is said that after Wang Feng bathed and changed clothes, he saw the little emperor of Yan Kingdom in the imperial study in front of him.

When he saw Xiao Qiye for the first time, Wang Feng was stunned in front of the door, so much so that he forgot to come forward to salute and rubbed his eyes.

Xiao Qiye sat on the tall dragon chair, looking very funny, but he posed and asked, "Marquis Xiaoyong of Great Xia, were you surprised to see me?" ”

Wang Feng came back to his senses, stepped forward and bowed his hand: "Foreign Minister Wang Feng, meet His Majesty Emperor Yan, long live Your Majesty!" The reason why the foreign minister was surprised was that he was taken by His Majesty's momentum. ”

"Really?" Xiao Qiye asked curiously: "Don't bully me for being young, I was stunned when I saw you, it seems that I have seen me?" ”

"No, no, how could it be!" Wang Feng had already regained his composure and said with a smile: "This is the first time that a foreign minister has come to Yan Kingdom, how can he have seen His Majesty, could it be that Your Majesty has been to our Great Xia?" ”

Xiao Qiye said with a smile: "I have been fascinated for a long time, especially for Your Majesty, I want to meet him, but unfortunately my aunt won't let me." ”

Wang Feng nodded and said with a smile: "Your country and Great Xia are brothers' covenants, and there should be opportunities in the future." The reason for asking to see His Majesty this time is because rumors are spreading, and the foreign ministers are worried that it will affect the cooperation between the two countries. The foreign minister can guarantee that our soldiers and horses will completely obey the strategic command of your country, and hope to eliminate the Wei army for your country. ”

"With the assurance, I naturally believe in the sincerity of your country. And the more serious the gossip, the more it shows that Emperor Wei is afraid and has begun to use the next three indiscriminate means. Xiao Qiye said with a smile.

Wang Feng looked at him in surprise, he was so young, his mannerisms and thoughts were not inferior to adults at all, and they all said that this little emperor was the reincarnation of an immortal, and he had opened his wisdom since he was a child.

It's just that

His appearance is so similar to His Majesty's when he was a child, which is why Wang Feng was stunned when he entered the palace!

There are similar people in the world, but the Emperor of Great Xia and the Emperor of Yan look alike, this is too much of a coincidence, this is knowing that the two have nothing to do with each other, if they are someone else, they still think that they are the illegitimate children of His Majesty.

At this moment, the internal official reported that the princess of the town asked to see her.

Then Yan Linglong hurriedly met the hall, Wang Feng got up to pay respects, Yan Linglong nodded, then looked at Xiao Qiye, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty urgently summoned the Marquis of Daxia Xiaoyong, it seems that he is also afraid that rumors will affect the cooperation between the two countries!" ”

Xiao Qiye got up and said respectfully: "Auntie, I didn't want to work hard for the Marquis of Xiao Yong to come here, but I really admire the Marquis of Xiao Yong's courage and good fighting, aunt, you know, I admire the generals who fought on the battlefield the most, so I didn't hold back, so I made a will." Just now, Hou Ye had made a promise to completely obey the battle arrangements of the Yan State, and after destroying the Wei State, he would immediately withdraw his army and return to Great Xia. ”

Wang Feng said with a smile: "Yes, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, please rest assured." ”

Yan Linglong said with a smile: "It's hard for the Hou Ye to come, our Yan Kingdom should do the friendship of the landlord, and set up a banquet later, please be sure to participate." ”

"Yes." Wang Feng naturally did not refuse.

Because Yan Linglong came, Xiao Qiye was honest and didn't ask about other things. After Yan Linglong accompanied Wang Feng out of the imperial study, Yan Linglong smiled and said, "Master Hou should be very surprised when he first saw my majesty!" ”

Wang Feng nodded and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's appearance is very similar to that of Your Majesty when I was a child, this may be fate." ”

Yan Linglong continued: "Yes, it should be fate. Master Hou, there is something I want to trouble you! ”

Wang Feng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Eldest princess, please speak!" ”

Yan Linglong said: "The emperors of the two countries have similar appearances, although it is fate, it is also easy to misunderstand, so it is not appropriate to publicize." The palace and the emperor of your country have long exchanged letters, and they have not been informed of this, so they also hope that the Hou Ye will hide this matter. Maybe I'm a little older to Your Majesty, and I won't be like that. ”

Wang Feng knew Yan Linglong's considerations, if it was rumored that the Emperor of Yan looked like Emperor Great Xia, it would indeed have an impact on the majesty of Emperor Yan.

"Eldest princess, please rest assured, this is a trivial matter, and the minister knows how to do it." Wang Feng said with a smile.

Yan Linglong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Subsequently, Wang Feng attended a luncheon prepared by the palace, and left Yandu to return to the front line on the same day.

However, Wang Feng always felt that he was summoned by Emperor Yan this time, which was strange, and the little emperor and the eldest princess were very strange. However, he agreed to Yan Linglong, so he did not tell Xiao Rui about the similarity between the little emperor and Xiao Rui when he was a child. But he had a big heart, so he sent the news back to Kyoto in Great Xia and asked people to forward it to the emperor.

After the autumn harvest, the grain was put into the warehouse, and the hearts of the people were also settled.

Zhang Liang sent an urgent report that the soldiers and horses of the 14 prefectures of Anxi had been assembled, and the grain and grass were also ready.

This attack on the Qin State was the largest operation in the history of Great Xia, with a total of 1.6 million troops mobilized.

After reading Zhang Liang's express report, Xiao Rui immediately summoned the cabinet scholars and the six ministers, and the cabinet will be fully responsible for state affairs.

Li Mingchong and the others originally suggested waiting for another two years, and the time would get worse and worse in the Qin State, but Xiao Rui had already made up his mind, and taking advantage of the current domestic turmoil in the Qin State could be regarded as a godsend.

The next morning, Xiao Rui announced that he would personally conquer the Qin State, and the royal expedition had officially begun!
