Time unconsciously came to the frost season, and the weather began to cool.

The champion Hou soldiers in the north are divided into three steps, and their courage is unstoppable, even if the Qi country relies on the solidity of the city, it is difficult to stop the pace of Great Xia, no matter how strong the city is, it can be regarded as a loss in Great Xia if it can last for three days!

Therefore, the soldiers of Qi who broke the city fled in a hurry and fled to Liaoyuan City, where Prince He sat and reorganized his troops and horses to hinder the invasion of Great Xia, which was regarded as the last barrier by the Emperor of Qi and the people of Qi.

But what will the truth be?

Let the world wait and see.

Xiao Rui is not worried about the war situation of Qi State at all, Qi State is now worried about internal and external troubles, just like a grasshopper after autumn, it has not been able to jump for a long time, and the only one who can attract Xiao Rui's attention is Qin State, but it is impossible to fight in a short time.

The cooperation negotiations between Yan and Daxia have been completed, and Yan Guo will first buy a new crop of sweet potatoes with four million taels of silver, and at the same time will reduce the price of iron ore and increase the quantity sold, while Daxia will provide seeds and send people to guide, and this time the transaction is very profitable.

After the negotiation, Yue Shuying and the Yan delegation set off to return to Beijing, and there was no banquet in the world.

At the same time, Yang Feiyuan, the secretary of the household department, took the opportunity to propose to His Majesty to return to his hometown by taking advantage of the merit of the negotiation between the household department and Yan Guo.

Since leaving the cabinet, Yang Feiyuan has been hit hard, coupled with the fact that his body is sick, he is becoming more and more weak, and she can also see that the prince has the idea of replacing him, so after thinking about it again, Yang Feiyuan decided to accept it when he sees it and take the initiative to do it!

His Majesty did not keep him, praised Yang Feiyuan's merits, and rewarded him, which can be regarded as letting him return to his hometown with honor.

In the next few days, the will to promote Fang Xuanling, a scholar of Hanlin, to be the head of the household department and enter the cabinet, although the civil and military ministers were all expected, but when it happened, they couldn't help but be a little surprised.

It seems that His Majesty's intention to abdicate has been decided, and now he has completely begun to pave the way for the crown prince!

Let's take a look at the composition of the court now.

Six scholars in the cabinet: Li Mingchong, Lu Yuanzheng, Cheng Ming, Meng Tianhai, Song Yingxing, and Fang Xuanling.

Li Mingchong is the first assistant of the cabinet, and his granddaughter is still the prince's side concubine, so he naturally looks forward to the prince's horse. Although he is already in his sixties, he is mentally strong and in good health, and he will have no problem being the first assistant of the cabinet for a few more years. Although he is nicknamed the "turning thunderbolt", whether it is dealing with political affairs or interpersonal relationships, he is definitely a master, and now that the prince is in charge of the country, he has reined in and began to play the value of the first assistant of the cabinet.

Lu Yuanzheng is also the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Cheng Ming is from the Hanlin Academy, the two are the hands of Emperor Xia, they are dedicated to the public, and their reputation and virtue are very good, Xiao Rui basically won't touch the two of them.

As for the remaining three people, they were all promoted by Xiao Rui, and they also occupied the high positions of the secretary of the ministry, the ministry of work, and the household department.

The cabinet is all in control, the imperial power is highly concentrated, and when Xiao Rui succeeds to the throne, the imperial court will be as stable as Mount Tai, and there will be no unstable situation.

The rest of the Criminal Department and the Military Department.

Song Ci is the secretary of the criminal department, managing the criminal law of the world, with his character, Xiao Rui can rest assured.

Finally, there is the military department.

Huo Xingye is the secretary of the military department, and after Xiao Feng was demoted to a concubine, his position has obviously changed. This person is also a capable person, but unfortunately he is on the wrong side.

What's more, Guo Ziyi is still the left waiter of the military department, if Xiao Rui chooses, he will definitely choose Guo Ziyi!

In addition to the cabinet and the six ministries, the rest of the officials in the government are being adjusted, Meng Tianhai is an upright person, and he will be relatively fair and fair in the selection and evaluation of officials.

This is the case with the civilian clique, and the military generals are also adjusting.

All the military marquis are in their fifties, they are all old, and it will be a battlefield for young people in the future, Chen Qingzhi, Han Xin, Li Cunxiao, Yang Youji, Dian Wei, Gan Ning, these people are all growing, although they are not qualified to be marquis, but the future war is indispensable, are you afraid that there will be no military merits?

In addition, His Majesty has already spat out, and in order to avoid the existing military marquis from supporting his own troops, he will personally adjust it.

All of this is for Xiao Rui to ascend the throne, strong and stable!

......

Although Xiao Rui is not the emperor now, he is doing the emperor's business, although he has been laying the groundwork for more than two years, he is not chasing ducks to the shelves, and he is not in a hurry, but he opens his eyes to political affairs all day long, closes his eyes on political affairs, and thinks about national affairs every day, which makes him very uncomfortable.

I'm still young, and when I'm forty or fifty years old, I'm not tired and tired.

Taking advantage of the fact that nothing major has happened in the recent period, Xiao Rui wants to be secretly idle and find some fun to play, so he should relax and relax.

But thinking left and right, it's not interesting.

Xiao Rui understands, no wonder many emperors have special hobbies, they were all forced out, and they can't find anything interesting in the deep courtyard of this palace, so they can't repair the wine pond meat forest. In the end, I can only go out of the palace to go out for a walk.

So taking advantage of the sunny day, Xiao Rui hid from everyone and took Li Yuanfang, Mu Chen and Wang Dazhi out of the palace.

Of course, for the sake of safety, the Qinglian Swordsman and the Yan Qing Commander hid in the shadows. Three sixth-grade masters and two fifth-grade masters were enough to protect Xiao Rui.

The busy farming has passed, the people collect the grain into the warehouse, and they will not panic when they have the grain, and the satisfaction can be seen from the faces of the people in the past.

In fact, the people's requirements are very simple, just to be fed and clothed.

Looking at the bustling people on the street, Xiao Rui suddenly felt that his efforts were worth it.

"Young Master, where are we going?" Li Yuanfang saw Xiao Rui stunned and couldn't help asking.

Xiao Rui didn't want to go anywhere, at this time, he thought of Mo Zhan and Mo Liangchen, and asked, "Is the Mo family gone?" ”

"I didn't leave, His Highness asked them to wait, how dare they leave?" Li Yuanfang said.

Xiao Rui nodded, and then said, "Let's go, go find them!" ”

Although Jing Feng and Qin Ming had already brought people to the Qin State to form forces, they were outsiders after all, and they were far less advantageous than the Mo family.

After hanging the Mo family for so long, it's time to meet them.

Coming to the inn where Mo Liangchen and they rented, Mo Zhan, who had nothing to do, was competing with Mo Liangchen, and Mo Liangchen personally fed him, no wonder Mo Zhan was a third-grade martial artist before he reached the weak crown.

Xiao Rui's arrival made the two of them overjoyed, and they immediately greeted them respectfully.

"There is no need for a big gift for this palace microservice, I am sorry for making you wait for a long time." Xiao Rui said with a smile.

Mo Liangchen said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy with state affairs, and he came to see me in person, which is my honor." ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "Sit down and talk." ”

Mo Liangchen and Mo Zhan sat down, and the rest of the dead retreated.

"Thanks to you this time, otherwise Huang Qilin's trick would have succeeded. We have a friendship in Zhao State, and this time the friendship has deepened, and it will be easy to talk about things related to cooperation. Xiao Rui said.

Mo Liangchen said: "Your Highness has long been aware of Huang Qilin's tricks, even if there is no us, Your Highness will not be in danger." Thankfully, if we have bad intentions, it's a dead end! ”

Xiao Rui smiled, this is true.

"You Mo family want to abandon the darkness and support Great Xia? Is it resolute? Xiao Rui asked.

Mo Liangchen said: "My mind has been decided!" ”

Xiao Rui said: "No matter what the relationship between you and Emperor Qin is in this palace, even if you use each other, it is also a kind of cooperation. Now that your Mo family says that betrayal can betray Emperor Qin, how can you win the trust of this palace? You know, your current behavior is unconvincing! One thing to say, in the heart of this palace, your Mo family is not as good as the Yang organization and the Xia organization at all, and it is even inferior to the Bai family who follows the Qin Emperor with iron! ”

Mo Liangchen was scolded speechless.

Mo Zhan on the side continued: "Your Highness is right, we ourselves are ashamed of our own actions, but for the sake of the ancestral mission of the family, we can only choose to be a trustless villain!" Therefore, we do not ask His Highness to regard us as partners, and we can be the object of transaction. We pay our efforts in exchange for the development of the Mo family after His Royal Highness unifies Shenzhou in the future! In fact, the pursuit of our Mo family is the same as the goal of the Yang organization and the Xia organization, for His Highness, helping them is helping us, and there is no need to make extra efforts. We are now abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, because we don't want to perish with the Qin State, and we can't witness the rise of the Ink Scholar again! ”

Once the Qin State is destroyed, the Mo organization, which is an assassination organization, will inevitably be purged, which is inevitable. Therefore, the Mo family and the Bai family split, and the Mo family decided to come to Daxia.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Mo family is a faithless villain, and it is more appropriate to say that they understand the changing situation and know how to survive.

Xiao Rui agrees with Mo Zhan's words, whether it is the Yang Organization and the Xia Organization, or the current Mo family, they help themselves, and there is no harm to themselves, they only need to pay one promise, that is, after unifying Shenzhou, they will help them carry forward the ideas of the Mo people, and this is not a difficult thing to do.

There are drawbacks to the Mo's thoughts, but there are also his merits, their skills are unparalleled in the world, and now Xiao Rui's knowledge taught by the junior college is a kind of carrying forward the Mo's thoughts.

"The object of the transaction, the word is interesting. Tell me what you can do for me. Can you kill Emperor Qin? Xiao Rui asked.

Mo Zhan smiled bitterly: "Your Highness looks down on us, the masters around Emperor Qin are like clouds, although our Mo organization listens to his orders, but the specific commander is still Prime Minister Li Si." And now we disagree with the Bai family, the break is obvious, and even the Qin Emperor doesn't trust our Mo family very much, it is too difficult to assassinate the Qin Emperor, but it is okay to assassinate Li Si. But once assassinated, then our Mo family will have no place in the Qin State, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

After a pause, Mo Zhan said again: "But there is no problem in assassinating Qin officials, even princes or princesses!" ”

Xiao Rui asked: "Let's talk about Emperor Qin's four sons, although this palace has their information, I still want to hear your evaluation, so that it is true." ”

Mo Zhan nodded, and Mo Liangchen on the side said: "There are not many heirs of Emperor Qin, there are five sons, and the fourth son of the king of war has been killed for rebellion, and only four sons remain. Qin Su is the crown prince, he is a steady and polite person, and he is an excellent prince in the eyes of the people of Qin, and the Qin Emperor is also very satisfied with him, the only dissatisfaction is that he is too gentle and not murderous. The second son, King Xiang, is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, better than the prince, but because he is not the eldest son, he is not eligible for the position of prince. The third son, King Zhuang, is insidious and ruthless, the city is very deep, and he is a villain. The fifth son, King Ying, although he is the youngest, is the most fierce person, and he is also the prince who is most like Emperor Qin, so he is the most favored by Emperor Qin. Whether it is the crown prince or the prince, the princes of Emperor Qin are not good, and they support their own troops in the fiefdom one by one, and no one obeys anyone. If it weren't for Emperor Qin's suppression, I don't know what the situation would be, so this is also where Emperor Qin's headache is. ”

What Mo Liangchen said was similar to the information Xiao Rui obtained, but he had been in the Qin State for a long time, and there must be some hidden things that ordinary people could obtain.

"Is there any hidden news?" Xiao Rui asked.

Mo Liangchen nodded again.
