Two days later.

The heavy snow falling like cherry blossoms stopped, and the news that it should have arrived in Chu yesterday due to weather conditions has been delayed so far.

in the Royal Palace.

Xiao Guizi received a letter from the secret guard, and quickly walked towards the imperial study, this was the news from Ziyun Dragon City, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Chu Feifan has been chattering for the past few days, once the news comes, it must be delivered to him as soon as possible.

"Squeak!"

A sound of pushing the door sounded, Xiao Guizi entered the imperial study, and walked forward quickly to Chu Feifan, who was reviewing the folds.

"Your Majesty, news from Dragon City!"

"Really?"

Evidently there was a hint of urgency in his tone, and he put down the pen in his hand, took the letter in front of him, and opened it and stared intently.

Long.

I saw him looking up and laughing wildly, his eyes were full of smiles, and he was completely uncontrollable excited.

Seeing him laughing, Xiao Guizi was a little surprised, he hadn't seen Emperor Chu so happy for a long time.

"Xiao Guizi, herald Bai Qi, Ran Min, let the two of them enter the palace immediately, and urgently notify Yue Fei and Qin Qiong in Zihan City for the other eight hundred li, and let them immediately wave their troops to Dragon City."

"General Yang has really made an amazing feat this time, and he will take down the Purple Cloud Empire for Wu Chu without blood."

Chu Feifan clenched the letter in his hand, a majestic voice sounded, and Xiao Guizi was ordered to withdraw from the imperial study.

The Purple Cloud Empire surrendered, the crisis of the Liang State against Chu weakened, and now there were still three months before the spring warmth of March, and he knew that from this moment on, the Liang army would invade the territory in a big way, and it would no longer be possible to drive straight in.

Moment.

Fang Xuanling and Wen Boya arrived in a hurry, and after entering the imperial study, after the two of them bowed their fists, they raised their hands and handed a copy of the fold to Chu Feifan.

"Your Majesty, Fengyan, a large number of refugees from the Purple Cloud Empire have emerged in the Jiangyang generation, and the officials of the state capitals don't know what to do, and they have already sent a letter to Beijing."

"Purple Cloud Refugees?"

"Xuan Ling, what is the number of refugees?"

As soon as the news of Ziyun's surrender was received, a large number of refugees poured into Chu, and now the snow was heavy and the ground was freezing and cold, and it was impossible for Chu Feifan to ignore the life and death of the people.

"Your Majesty, the number of refugees gathered in the three cities of Fengyan, Jiangyang, and Hanyu alone has reached 30,000."

Fang Xuanling's hurried voice sounded, he clenched the letter in his hand, and his expression became solemn, this is indeed a very tricky thing.

Under the devastation of the war, the people in various places have endured the cold winter, and they have just solved the Northern Han Palace, and the money and food of the five cities and eighteen passes have been raised, and now these tens of thousands of refugees will need a lot of money and food.

"Xuan Ling, immediately issue an edict to the yamen of the state capitals, if you want all the refugees to enter the city, the money and food that will be given to the state capitals in a short time should be able to be maintained, and I will definitely send someone to send the money and food needed within five days."

"Order the state officials, I don't want to see the corpses of people starving to death and freezing to death, and there must be no such thing as white bones being exposed in the wild and starving everywhere."

"Otherwise, the punishment will not be severe, and it will not be tolerated!"

Fang Xuanling knew that he had the world in his heart, loved the people, and knew that the people were the foundation of the country. But at present, the economy of Chu is already stretched, and it is indeed difficult to accommodate tens of thousands of refugees.

It can be seen that Chu Feifan's attitude is firm and his expression is serious, Fang Xuanling swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and turned around to leave.

Chu Feifan looked at the fold in his hand, and suddenly looked up to see Wen Boya still standing in front of him, closed the fold and asked loudly.

"Boya, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen and Lord Zhang Heng received news a few months ago that a hidden mine was found in the jungle south of Mingfeng City.

"Wechen has come to report that the emperor will order that jungle to be included in the royal garden, because Lord Zhang and the Chu guards both suspect that there is a hundred-year-old gold mine underground."

"Gold mines?"

"For Zhang Heng and Chu Yanlong's judgment, he has no doubt at all, Zhang Heng has the ability to explore the origin of heaven and earth, and at the same time, his understanding of geography and humanities is very exquisite, plus Chu Yanlong's dual-attribute martial artist, he can determine whether there is a treasure under the ground according to his earth attribute ability."

This has been verified many times, and he is very convinced that this news really makes him feel that he is not coming.

If a large amount of gold can really be mined underground, then the economy of Chu will grow by leaps and bounds in the future, and it will become a resource power in one fell swoop.

"Boya, it's time to play."

"This matter must be blocked from the news, and I will order the Iron Eagle Ruishi to be transferred to Mingfeng City to protect your safety."

"Thank the emperor for his permission, Weichen will go to prepare, and the mining will start after the New Year."

After Wen Boya bowed and left, he was excited, and he was a little caught off guard by the succession of good things today.

Right now.

Bai Qi, Ran Min Er came to the outside of the imperial study, and the two of them took off their robes outside the hall and strode forward.

"The last general (Bai Qi, Ran Min), meet the emperor."

"The two Aiqing are here, Xiao Guizi, give the seat!"

Chu Feifan's deep voice sounded, and he raised his hand to signal the two of them to sit down, and a strong iron-blooded killing aura unique to soldiers instantly lingered in the imperial study.

"Bai Qi, Ran Min, the Purple Cloud Empire has surrendered, in order to let the Liang State snoop, I have decided to let you lead your subordinates to Longcheng City to guard."

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

Hearing this, the two of them suddenly rose up, clasped their fists and knelt on the ground: "Congratulations to the emperor, the Purple Cloud Empire has surrendered, and the last general is willing to go to Longcheng to defend it!" ”

Only Ziyun is left in the Seven-Rank Empire, and now he has been surrendered, indicating that the Chu State is unified by the Seven-Rank Empire, and Bai Qi is the first to follow Chu Feifan's side, watching the Chu State become stronger step by step.

When Bai Qi and Ran Min Er left the imperial study, it was already nightfall, and Chu Feifan explained the matters that the two of them should pay attention to when they went to Dragon City, and at the same time issued an edict rewarding Li Chong.

Li Chong changed from the Emperor of Ziyun to the Marquis of Xiaoyao, and would be brought back to the Tiger Roar Imperial City by Yang Yansi, and Chu Feifan placed him in the Peach Blossom Valley outside the imperial capital.

There happened to be an idle mansion there, which was repaired after the New Year's Festival to become the Xiaoyao Palace, and Li Chong enjoyed the fortune of a member of the imperial court.

In the dead of night, the earth is snowy.

In the Fengyi Pavilion.

Chu Feifan took the beautiful woman Han Zhiyun into his arms, the beauty was in his arms, warm and soft.

"The emperor is in a good mood today, what is the happy thing?"

"Zhiyun, the Purple Cloud Empire surrendered, and the Chu State unified the Qipin Empire, with such good news, can I be happy?"

"Ziyun surrenders, congratulations to the emperor for taking the Ziyun Empire without blood."

Han Zhiyun swept out of Chu Feifan's arms, bowed and bowed, and a light voice sounded.

Looking at her smiling lightly, her pink cheeks flushed, and her delicate appearance, the corners of Chu Feifan's mouth rose and a wicked smile appeared.

The Fengyi Pavilion is as warm as spring, fragrant and gorgeous, and bursts of melody like heaven fly towards the top of the sky with the wind.
