"Well, well, that's good, that's what a mother does!" Empress Dowager Mei nodded with satisfaction, and she wiped away the tears in front of her eyes with her hands.

Then she continued to Lin Sixing: "The ministers outside the door are waiting for you." ”

Lin Sixing finally cheered up, yes, once a son of heaven and a courtier, he also has his own courtiers. Even if the person is gone, he is still young, and he has time to slowly cultivate his own cronies.

Lin Sixing suddenly woke up, he is the most important core of this country, as long as he is there, the Lanhe Empire is there. If he continues to decline, no matter how hard the people of the Lanhe Empire work hard, they will not be able to get rich and strong again.

What's more, although the land of the imperial capital city of Gyeonggi is not vast, he still has 400,000 troops in his hands, all of which are elite. Lin Sixing believes that as long as he works hard, he will not be able to exterminate those rebellious ministers and thieves one by one.

Lin Sixing understood that the army of the empire was still in his hands, and those traitors could not arouse the army that still belonged to the empire.

Empress Dowager Mei was about to leave, but Lin Sixing's cough sounded behind her.

"Mother...... What did she do? Lin Sixing looked at Qin Zhirou who was standing aside.

"Just let her be here, doesn't Lin Haoyan often take the queen to discuss with him?" Empress Dowager Mei looked at Qin Zhi with doting and said, "It's a good girl." ”

"But...... Okay......" Lin Sixing wanted to explain that he and Qin Zhirou were not the relationship between Lin Haoyan and Shi Yiqiu, but in the end he didn't dare to disobey his mother's words, so he lowered his head and agreed.

Qin Zhirou stayed and sat in the position where Shi Yiqiu had sat before. Lin Sixing cleared his throat and was about to summon the ministers outside the hall to come in, but before he could speak, someone ran in.

It's a courier in charge of the order, and I don't know what news I got here, so I'm so panicked.

"What's wrong?" Lin Sixing just cheered up and wanted to do something, but the husband ran in like this, very ugly, and Lin Sixing had a feeling that his good mood was ruined.

"Huh? Don't scare him! Qin Zhirou reproached on the side.

"Hmm...... It's my fault, if there is any news to me, you are here to receive the reward, not to be punished. Lin Sixing immediately changed his words, and he adjusted his tone.

"Thank you...... Thank you, Your Majesty! Seeing Lin Sixing like this, the husband also admitted his mistake in front of him, and felt flattered, but he knew that what he was going to report next was not trivial...... Hearing that His Majesty has not been in a good mood in recent days, he is still afraid that Lin Sixing will execute him in anger.

"Your Majesty, please look!" With his head bowed, Nadifu held a feather book with feathers glued in both hands, signaling that it was very urgent and that it must be delivered as soon as possible. He trotted and handed it to Lin Sixing, and then hurriedly ran away, kneeling there - without Lin Sixing's order, he didn't dare to walk away.

Lin Sixing felt a little funny, this husband was a little too timid.

Lin Sixing opened the feather book, he read it, and then his face became worse and worse.

"Damn! You...... Forget it, you go down. Lin Sixing restrained his temper in time, and he hurriedly waved his hand to let the courier leave, otherwise he might really want to kill someone.

The courier hurriedly slipped away with a thousand thanks, where did he dare to ask for any reward at this time, and surviving was already the richest reward he had ever received.

"What's wrong?" Qin Zhirou watched Lin Sixing's face turn the color of pig liver, and she was very curious about the message to be conveyed in the feather book.

"The Zhao family...... Sure enough, he rebelled. Lin Sixing muttered, this behemoth in the imperial capital, the Zhao family, who held the economic lifeline of the empire, chose to betray the Lanhe Empire and betray Lin Sixing at this time.

Of course, if the Zhao family just chose to leave the imperial capital and no longer obey his rule like those traitors, then Lin Sixing would not be so angry. The reason why Lin Sixing was so angry was that the Zhao family not only left him, but also rebelled completely.

The contemporary head of the Zhao family, Zhao Xiyuan was founded in Zhongzhou, and the country name was his original surname, Zhao.

Once the country is established, it will not just be a simple charm of disobedience to the central government's deployment, but it will be clear that it will tear its face with the Lanhe Empire. Although Lin Haoyan was crowned fifty-four kings with different surnames before his death, none of these people have ever done such an excessive thing as announcing the founding of the country and setting the name of the country.

Everyone was silent, and the traitors were waiting for Lin Sixing, the new emperor, to also recognize their division of the king with a different surname. If they could, they certainly didn't want to take any other risks, it was a confrontation between the local and the central. According to common sense, only when there is little hope and there is no patience can they stand up to the central government. But the Zhao family changed all this, he was the first to stand up, and clearly told everyone that I just want to fight against the Lanhe Empire, I just see that Lin Sixing, the broken emperor, is unhappy, and I want to be the emperor.

And the timing of the Zhao family's move was indeed very ingenious, he successfully broke the tacit understanding between the local and the central government during this time, and he raised the banner of the rebels, which means that it is impossible for everyone to be silent like this anymore.

The Zhao family is forcing everyone to stand in line.

Either obediently return to the embrace of the Lanhe Empire and hand over the rights in his hands, or set up his own door and make a break with the Lin royal family of the Lanhe Empire.

And it is undoubtedly a difficult thing to hand over the rights that have been obtained, just like the obstacles that Lin Haoyan was faced when he wanted to implement the new policy, it is almost impossible to make them vomit out what they have eaten in their stomachs.

Then the remaining choice is to build a country, to protect their own rights and interests, or even expand their own rights and interests, and the establishment of a country has become the only choice.

The Zhao family raised the first banner, and the rest of the people might wait and see in a short time, but if Lin Sixing didn't handle this matter well, when those speculators understood that Lin Sixing didn't have the ability to effectively levy them. Then it may be that the originally huge Lanhe Empire will really become fifty-four small countries, with their own national names.

The Zhao family's approach was tantamount to sprinkling salt on the wound and stabbing Lin Sixing in the back. And more importantly, the location chosen by the Zhao family for the founding of the country is Daliang City in Zhongzhou......

Thinking of this, Lin Sixing's brain fainted, and he hurriedly turned around and rummaged in the secret room behind the palace. It took a long time to find a small box, and when he opened it, it was empty.

Sure enough, the talisman was gone......

Zhongzhou ...... There were 130,000 Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry, which was the most powerful army in the Empire.
