The turmoil in Liguo is still quite big, after all, the emperor is dead, and the three forces are seizing power, and it is very chaotic.

This has also led to Liguo being targeted by many neighboring countries, and everyone wants to go up and eat a piece of meat in Liguo.

At the same time, the state of Chu is not having a good time.

After all, 50,000 soldiers and horses, led by one person, created such trouble for Liguo, and also killed the emperor, which made the surrounding countries feel the danger of Chu.

As a result, many countries are jealous of the Chu State.

At this time, it was also a time when Emperor Chu was very worried.

After all, the state of Chu showed such strength, and it was likely to become the target of public criticism.

It can be seen from the increasing number of assassins in the palace during this period of time that many countries are afraid of the Chu State and have increased the assassination of the Chu Emperor.

Actually, Qin Ming is not much better during this time.

He thought he could wait for the New Year in a month's time.

But Ya didn't expect that during this time, there were always assassins coming to his Qin Mansion.

Although it can't hurt Qin Ming, it's annoying.

During the day today, Qin Ming found two assassins who came to assassinate him.

Sitting in the room, Qin Ming sighed helplessly while studying the method of making cakes, and said to the housekeeper behind him:

"Bury those assassins just now!"

After the housekeeper left, Yan Lingfei watched Qin Ming stir egg whites and asked, "Qin Ming, why did so many people assassinate you all of a sudden?" ”

Qin Ming said: "I'm dangerous, I killed the Emperor of Liguo alone, and all countries regard me as a thorn in their side, how can they not assassinate me?" By the way, are there any of these who are in your Yanguo at this moment? ”

Yan Lingfei shook her head: "Absolutely not, I'm still with you!" ”

Ye Xiaowu scratched his head: "My Jin Kingdom is not necessarily, after all, my father and the emperor hate you." ”

Qin Ming rolled his eyes, and then heard the little princess say: "Don't talk about the Jin Kingdom, even our Chu Kingdom, someone must have sent someone to assassinate Qin Ming's brother." ”

"That's just as well!" Qin Ming nodded.

So he continued to stir the egg whites, and a lot of foam had already been stirred up at the moment, so Qin Ming added a little milk, a little oil, and a small amount of sugar, and continued to stir non-stop.

After a long time, when Qin Ming's hands were sore, finally, he picked up a few chopsticks, and the white cream didn't fall off on them.

Qin Ming smiled with satisfaction, the cream was ready.

Then Qin Ming continued to make bread, stirred the eggs, salt, yeast, sugar, and maltose, poured in water and kneaded the dough.

Then the dough rests, ferments, then makes a ball and puts it in a pot on the stove for ten minutes.

When I took it out, it was a little different from the bread I imagined, but it was a success.

So he used his knife to make the bread into a circle, put the cream on it, and made some various fruit sauces and cut fruits to decorate it, and it was really like a cake.

The girls looked at this thing and were stunned, how did they know that they could still make such a beautiful food in this world.

Not to mention eating, enough is enough!

"This is so pretty, I don't know if it's delicious?" The village girl is not greedy for flowers.

Qin Ming smiled, and when he saw that several girls were licking their lips, he didn't say much, and directly divided the cake with a knife, and said:

"Come, one piece per person, eat and see!"

Everyone was not polite, they all took the cake and ate it, and then their eyes lit up, and they looked at the cake excitedly, obviously delicious.

"This thing is so delicious, better than the pastries in the palace......" the little princess said excitedly.

Qin Ming said: "Of course, there is basically no girl who doesn't like to eat cakes. ”

However, the women only cared about eating, and no one answered him.

Qin Ming was helpless, so he wrote down the production method and handed it to the housekeeper, asking them to make it according to the method Qin Ming said, make it into small portions, the price was one or two times the cost, and then sell it in Qin Ming's snack bars.

The housekeeper left with a smile, thinking that his son was simply a god.

After the butler left, a eunuch came in at the door.

Qin Ming watched the eunuch come in, and asked suspiciously, "What is the matter with my father-in-law?" ”

"Master Hou, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace!"

Qin Ming nodded: "Okay!" ”

He has no official position and does not go to the early dynasty, and this point is the time of the early dynasty, so there must be something wrong with asking Qin Ming to enter the palace.

So Qin Ming followed the eunuch to the palace.

In the main hall, all the officials were discussing state affairs with the emperor, and after Qin Ming came, everyone looked over.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with calling the ministers?" Qin Ming asked after going to the hall.

The emperor sighed: "Qin Ming, although the battle of Liguo was fought beautifully, it also made all countries jealous of us, and even made the Chu State the target of everyone. That's why I won't let the princes of all countries leave now. ”

"Your Majesty is afraid that after they go back, the countries will not take care of it, and they may join forces to wipe out the now terrible Chu State?" Qin Ming asked.

"Yes, there are more and more assassins who have assassinated me during this time, which shows that many countries are afraid of Chu. The previous Chu Guoqiang was not to the point where they were afraid.

Now you have 50,000 soldiers and horses against the 500,000 army of Liguo, and you have killed Emperor Li, which makes the beginning of the surrounding countries not calm. "The emperor must be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Qin Ming also understood what he meant, if you are weak, others want to clean you up, if you are strong, others will be jealous of you.

But you're too strong, everyone might target you!

"Your Majesty, there have been a lot of assassins who have assassinated me during this time, and there is no place to bury the dead." Qin Ming said.

"So I discussed with everyone, how to avoid war as much as possible, and let the surrounding countries eliminate the heart of daring to do something against the Chu State?" The emperor asked.

Qin Ming said: "Why don't you try to avoid war? We have the strength, let's beat him, whoever doesn't accept the beating, they will naturally be afraid. ”

The emperor was speechless, he didn't know this truth, when he was young, the prestige of the Chu State was made by him.

However, now that he is old, if the state of Chu is plunged into war for many years, he will be powerless.

Especially at a time when there is no clear heir, if there is a war, it is too unstable.

Generally speaking, the new emperor and the old emperor of a country will not impress the war, because the foundation is unstable.

That's why the emperor said that if he tried not to fight, what could he do.

The emperor did not explain to Qin Ming in the main hall, but Qin Ming also guessed that the emperor was old, so he was reluctant to fight, and wanted to make steady progress.

So Qin Ming thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, it's better to do this, let's not fight, just show our strength and army combat effectiveness, which can also have a deterrent effect, so that all countries understand the strength of the Chu State, and dare not act rashly." ”

"Oh? How do you display it? Is it to find another country to fight? The Emperor was puzzled.

Qin Ming smiled: "That's not it, I mean to have a big military parade, select elite soldiers, arrange them outside the Imperial Palace, and invite high-level officials from various countries to participate in the review, so that they can see the momentum and combat power of the elites of our Chu army." ”

"This method is good, show my strong army, don't need to fight, let them know that it is powerful!" The emperor's eyes lit up!
