The State of Chu, which defeated the State of Qi, did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but instead targeted the relatively weak State of Wei, which was also the younger brother of the Han State.

In just over a month, the 100,000 Chu troops with high morale reached the city of Daliang of Wei. Under the cowardice of Peng Ao, the king of Wei, he could only open the city to rebel against Han and surrender to Chu.

Wei's actions angered Liu Qi, the Han Emperor in Guanzhong. In a fit of rage, he issued a letter to crusade against Chu and Wei.

The Han State is worthy of inheriting the wealth of the former Qin State. Sitting under the 300-mile Qinchuan River, it is not only rich, but also has a group of brave soldiers.

An army of 150,000, with tens of thousands of Han soldiers, known as an army of 500,000, came mightily towards Hanoi County of Wei.

Fortunately, the Chu side also received support from the great general Ji Shu.

In addition to tens of thousands of people staying in Pengcheng, the state of Chu and some miscellaneous troops of the state of Wei barely managed to get together the number of 200,000.

The Han army was brave, while the Chu army was a new victory and occupied a favorable position. The gap between the two sides is not big.

Moreover, Xia Ze's purpose is very obvious, just to hold Hanoi County.

And he also personally sat in Daliang, on the one hand, he could stabilize the morale of the Hanoi army, and on the other hand, he also started a drastic transformation of the Wei court.

The battle between Chu and Han was not so thrilling, at least, it was much easier than fighting the army of Qi and Zhao in Pengcheng to the death.

Ji Shu, the general of Chu State, is quite the essence of his father, that is, Ji Xin, a general under Chu Taizu.

No matter how the Han army lured, the 200,000 army was lured but not launched, sticking to the city, and comparing with the Han state.

Time flies in a blink of an eye, and a year's time is nothing in this kind of cold weapon war. Especially when the Chu army has no intention of fighting, time flies faster.

Until another half a year later, South Korea, which is only two counties, could not afford to continue to bear the grain and grass of the 200,000 army. In the Han court, there was another sound of strikes. In desperation, Han Emperor Liu Qi could only compromise.

Looking at the military report that had just been transmitted back in his hand, Xia Ze in Daliang City couldn't help but show a smile.

The age of the Han Emperor Liu Qi is not much older than that of the King of Wei, but with the support of a huge national strength, Liu Qi is more sharp and strong than Peng Ao.

However, the Han expedition was only a handful of even a small victory. In particular, Wei's rebellion against Han and Chu has become a topic of conversation among scholars.

Presumably, this Han emperor has just established his prestige, and it will take a lot of time to re-establish it. On the contrary, it is the state of Chu, this time it can be said that it defeated the state of Qi first, and then leveled the state of Han.

The state of Chu, in the past two years, has suddenly become the most ideal place for many people seeking office.

The most important thing is that Xia Ze stayed in Daliang for a full year and a half under the guise of fighting against the Han State, and almost replaced all the people of the Wei Dynasty with the people of the Chu State.

"Your Majesty is still in court!"

In the ancient Shouchun, the bustling streets are no less than the former Xianyang.

On both sides of the street, there are countless curious eyes.

The tiger father has no dog son, and the Chu Emperor Xia Ze's conquest in the past two years has completely imprisoned the foundation of the Xia family.

Coupled with the newly subjugated Wei State, today's Chu State is not only strong and strong, sitting on a land of ointment, but also has a four-way land of Qi in the east, Sanchuan in the west, and Handan in the north.

Especially with the buffer land of Wei, if there is no accident, at least within twenty years, Han Qi will not want to form an effective threat to Chu.

In front of the palace, a group of civil officials were already waiting here for the triumphant Chu Emperor Xia Ze.

"Ze'er!"

Before the civil official, a woman with white hair looked at Xia Ze who was getting closer and closer with some excitement, and her voice trembled a little.

And Xia Ze, who was originally riding on the war horse, also immediately turned over and dismounted, and said with a little choked up: "The son is not filial, which makes the queen mother worried!" ”

However, Empress Dowager Chu patted Xia Ze's hand lightly, and said with the same teary eyes: "Okay! Good! Good! It's quite a father's style! ”

When Xia Ze's mother and son finished warming, a young man who also looked like he was only about fifteen bowed respectfully to Xia Ze.

"The son of the emperor to meet his father!"

Looking at the polite prince, Xia Ze also nodded and said, "Last has done a good job over the years, and I am very satisfied." ”

"Thanks to the teaching of my father's letter and the guidance of my grandmother, my son can be fortunate not to disgrace his life." Xia Yan's attitude became more and more respectful, without a trace of arrogance. Not even his maternal clan, Jing Shiti, didn't mention it.

Xia Ze's brows wrinkled slightly inadvertently, and then he glanced at the queen who was speechless on the side, and said, "I've worked hard for you too." ”

"These are all things that a concubine should do."

Jing Rong, who is in her thirties, is not inferior to a young woman in her twenties. But it also has a unique temperament that those women don't have. I have to say that such a woman is like poison.

The so-called Zhizi Mo Ruomu, Empress Dowager Chu knew that since she persuaded her to hide the matter of being pregnant with a dragon son in the past two years, Xia Ze must have a lot of scruples about Queen Jing and the Jing family.

What's more, a few years ago, Mrs. Ji's death was also frequent, and the source naturally pointed to Queen Jing. These add up to make Xia Ze even more unhappy.

Although the Empress Dowager Chu didn't care much about political affairs, she was not a stupid person, and immediately pulled Xia Xu, the third prince behind Xia Ze, and said: "Oh, Xu'er hasn't seen her for two years, and she has grown taller and grown up." ”

"Big Mother!" Xia Xu, who was a little swarthy, with a bit of military taste, saluted the Empress Dowager Chu in a loud voice.

"Uh-huh. Not bad! Empress Dowager Chu looked at Xia Xu with a smile, and said, "You and last together, it's exactly the same as the emperor back then!" ”

Hearing this, Xia Xu and Xia Yan glanced at each other with some tacit understanding, and then said in unison: "Grandson doesn't dare to forget Taizu's teachings!" ”

When Empress Dowager Chu heard this, the smile on her face became more and more intense.

Xia Ze on the side, seeing that the Empress Dowager Chu was so happy, couldn't bear to sweep his mother's mood.

"Prime Minister." Xia Ze's gaze looked at the middle-aged man led by the hundred officials, and said in a flat tone: "I am a little tired, today's court meeting will be postponed until five days later." When the time comes, I will celebrate with the officials! ”

As the head of the hundred officials, Jing Che did not show a trace of dissatisfaction or surprise, and responded respectfully: "Huh." ”

"Alright, alright, go back to the palace." The smiling Empress Dowager Chu pulled Xia Xu with one hand and Xia Yan with the other, and walked towards the vermilion palace gate.

Between the winding palace roads, Xia Ze seemed extremely eager to see the young son he had never met.

"Where is the little prince?"

A man in ornate armor replied respectfully, "Back to Your Majesty, you should watch the fish in the brocade garden." ”

"Fish watching?" Xia Ze's brows couldn't help but wrinkle a little more.

In front of the palace gate, among the heirs who greeted Xia Ze, the five sons gathered, but only the youngest son who should have been the most favored, Xia Huan, was missing.

The Queen Mother is very old, and the arrangements at the palace gate must have been made by the queen and Prime Minister Jing Che.

As for why he didn't let the young son who should have been the most concerned by Xia Ze appear, Xia Ze was very clear in his heart.

Xia Yan has become the crown prince of Chu State, and it is also the greatest hope of the Jing family today. And Xia Ze has been away from the country for two years, and the strong feeling of longing is naturally the most suitable and in line with their interests to stay with the prince.

As for the little prince, they also used their youth as an excuse to prevaricate the past.

The Jinyuan is near, and the entrance is full of people from Gong'e Temple.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing Xia Ze coming, the eunuchs immediately knelt on the ground.

"Where's the little prince?" Perhaps it was about to meet the youngest son he had never met, Xia Ze's face softened a little.

"Back to Your Majesty, little prince, you are alone in the garden to enjoy the fish...... a palace maid who looked a little old replied respectfully.

"Bastard!" However, before she finished her words, she was stopped by Xia Ze, "The little prince is under two years old, let him alone, do you think there are too many heads on your shoulders!" ”

Xia Ze's murderous momentum caused the palace eunuchs present to tremble suddenly, and the previous palace maid also immediately explained: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, this is really the request of the little prince, and the slave and maid dare not disobey!" ”

Xia Ze, who was angry, sneered and said: "Nonsense, the little prince is less than two years old, how can he ......?"

Before the word "words" was spoken, Xia Ze was already stunned, but then he was ecstatic.

Under the age of two but can speak, this is a proper prodigy! As a father, how can Xia Ze not be excited?
