"Xue Xin thanked Your Majesty for her younger brother!" Li Xuexin gratefully curtsied to Ji Jing.

"Concubine Xin's words are out of sight."

Ji Jing smiled and stretched out his hand to help Li Xuexin, and said gently: "With Concubine Xin's contribution to the country, don't say that a famous and powerless Marquis is a free marquis, even if he enters the court as an official, it is not an exaggeration." ”

"It's better not to be an official, Li Fu doesn't have that ability." Li Xuexin shook her head, and she also understood what kind of person Li Fu was.

I haven't received a good tutor since I was a child, and I have been a slave and a servant all these years, even if I was originally talented, I have been wiped out.

Once you are an official, not only can you not do practical things, but you will also be ridiculed by your colleagues, it is better to be a remote marquis.

"It's good if you don't complain." Ji Jing touched Li Xuexin's black hair and said slowly: "I plan to go back to the Western Capital in the next two days, I'm a little tired." ”

Ji Jing did feel tired, not physically, but mentally.

Before he became an emperor, he knew that the emperor was not a good job.

After becoming the emperor, it stands to reason that he is assisted by the heroes of Huaxia, and there should be nothing to do with him.

After going through so much, he really realized how difficult it was to be an emperor, and he had tried his best to hand over everyone's affairs.

But his own affairs can't be faked by others, and the current situation in the Great Zhou is difficult, Fan Zhongyan and others have more things to deal with, and they can't share more things for him.

"Hmm." Li Xuexin nodded softly.

……

Half a month later, Ji Jing and his entourage returned to the palace.

Before the butt was hot, the ding dong of the system suddenly sounded in my head.

【Ding~~】

[Main Quest: Expand the territory.] 】

[The territory of the Great Week has been expanded, and the task points have reached the upper limit of 1000 points, and you will get a chance to win a lottery.] 】

[Please invite the host to draw a lottery.] 】

A huge turntable appeared in front of Ji Jing.

Ji Jing was suddenly a little dumbfounded.

Now the Great Zhou is not losing its territory, and it can still expand its territory.

The system won't fail again, right?

I was stunned by what Ji Jing thought, and I couldn't understand how he expanded his territory.

【Ding~~】

[Congratulations to the host for drawing a Longli Pill.] 】

[Congratulations to the host for drawing the volume of "Cavalry Encyclopedia".] 】

[The item has been placed in the system space.] 】

Ji Jing didn't take the initiative to draw, and the system automatically drew the lottery.

Looking at the extra Long Lidan and "Cavalry Daquan" in the system, Ji Jing believed that the system did not fail, but that Da Zhou had really expanded its territory.

"Who the hell did that?"

"White rising?"

"Zhao Zilong?"

"Or someone else?"

At this moment, Cao Yu's request to see him sounded outside.

Cao Yu is back!

Ji Jing was suddenly overjoyed, he hadn't seen Cao Yu for more than a month, and he missed him a little.

"Could it be that Cao Yu's grandson laid down a country!"

"Xuan!"

Soon, Cao Yu walked in in with a dusty body.

Cao Yu had just returned to the Western Capital, and when he heard that the lord was back, he didn't even come back to see Ji Jing without even returning to the Investigation Division.

"Chen Cao Yu has seen the lord." Cao Yu said with a joyful compliment.

"No need to be polite, tell me which country you have conquered." Ji Jing waved his hand, and said with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

"Which country was defeated?"

Cao Yu was stunned for a moment, immediately reacted, and said with a smile: "The lord is talking about General Zhao's attack on the dog Rong." ”

"Zhao Zilong has broken through the dog Rong?"

This time it was Ji Jing's turn to be stunned, he had also thought about whether it would be Zhao Zilong who expanded his territory, but he felt that it was unlikely.

If he could win the dog Rong, Zhao Zilong would have won it a long time ago, and he would not have waited until now to win it.

"Yes, I'll give justice to the Lord one by one." Cao Yu smiled.

"Okay, give me a seat."

After Cao Yu sat down, he spoke eloquently.

"First of all, General Zhao has already defeated the Dog Rong, the Dog Rong army has been completely wiped out, and the Dog Rong is now the territory of the Great Zhou."

"The second thing, Shi Pochun's identity has been ascertained, it is Beiyi's prince Aixin. Haji. Beiyi was affected by the locust plague and was eager to invade the Great Zhou and find a new place to live. ”

"The third thing is that the five countries did not attack the Great Zhou, and the Great Qi took advantage of the lack of air defense in the other four countries and took the opportunity to expand and annex the territory of the four countries. The situation in the four countries was chaotic, the four countries joined forces to resist Qi, and the alliance forces of the five countries collapsed and attacked each other. ”

"The fourth thing is that there is small-scale chaos in many places in Dazhou, especially Dayan and Daliang, which have the most chaos."

Ji Jing listened carefully to Cao Yu's report, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

It seems that his 'self-abandonment' has worked, and the army of the Five Kingdoms actually gave up attacking the Great Zhou and started infighting.

In this way, the Great Zhou is stable, and even if the Great Qi annexes the other four vassal states, it will be difficult to gather a million troops again.

Even if he can really gather a million troops again, Da Zhou also has the ability to fight, Bai Qi, Zhao Zilong is not a vegetarian, plus the birth of the steam ship, maybe he can win Daqi in turn.

I have to say that Ji Jing is still a little tender, if it weren't for Guo Jia's tactics, how could the army of the Five Kingdoms easily give up attacking the big turnaround and turn into internal strife.

Although he didn't know the real reason, Ji Jing's mood was still excited.

The threat of a million-strong army is lifted, and the other problems are not a big problem.

After a short period of silence, Ji Jing made a decision, and said with a cold light in his eyes: "Cao Yu, pass on Zilong, after stabilizing the dog Rong, Beishan will take Beiyi together, and the required military supplies will be solved by Fan Zhongyan." In addition, I will arrange a group of martial arts people to assist Zilong in dealing with Shi Pochun. ”

Beiyi must be eliminated, take advantage of Beiyi's illness to kill him!

Shi Pochun's existence was also too much of a threat to Da Zhou, but Shi Pochun was scheming to prevent him from escaping, and Ji Jing decided to use martial arts forces again.

"No!"

"General Zhao also has this intention." Cao Yu said in a deep voice.

"And this is also for Zhao Zilong."

A book appeared in Ji Jing's hand, it was "The Complete Book of Cavalry", isn't the grassland the best place to train cavalry.

After Cao Yu took the "Cavalry Encyclopedia", he solemnly hid it.

"The herald is white, ready to fight the armies of the five countries at any time! Although the five countries are in civil strife, they have no choice. ”

"No."

"And ......"

Ji Jing looked directly at Cao Yu with sharp eyes, and said slowly: "The strength of the Investigation Department is still too small, and it will be divided into two departments from today onwards, the Investigation Department and the Jinyi Department. The Investigation Department is called the Investigation Guard, which is responsible for investigating the enemy situation inside and outside the Great Zhou Dynasty, and all provinces, counties, and counties must have the layout of the Investigation Department. The Jinyi Department is called Jinyiwei, which is responsible for arresting and eliminating all rebellious people and rebellious forces in the Great Zhou Dynasty. ”

"No!" Cao Yu said sonorously.

After the rebellion in Gangyang County this time, the lord finally grew up.

If you want a country to have long-term peace and stability, it is not enough to rely on benevolent government, but also to have an iron and bloody hand.

"The chaos in the territory of the Great Zhou will be handed over to you, Jinyiwei does not need to hide, it represents the royal power and deters the world!" Ji Jing opened his mouth coldly, and the coercion on his body swept through, as if the mountains made Cao Yu a little breathless.

"No! The minister will not let the lord down! Cao Yu's eyes were also shining with cold light, and he responded sonorously.

"There is another thing, the news of the Red Blood Rock Snake must be stepped up, and the time of the concubine is running out."

Now that more than a month has passed, there is not much time left for him, and he must get the Red Blood Rock Serpent as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, the lord has already had news, but he needs to confirm again whether it is really the Red Blood Rock Snake. There will be news in a day or two. Cao Yu replied.
