As we enter the end of December, the weather in Luojing City is getting colder and colder.

Last night there was a heavy snowfall, and by dawn the courtyard was covered in snow, the aisles were more than half a foot thick, and the eaves of the porch were covered with beautiful ice edges.

The steward of the mansion immediately ordered all the servants to mobilize, take all kinds of tools and go out to clear the snow and clear the main passage as soon as possible, so that the master would not be displeased when he got up.

“…… Husband, haven't you woken up yet? ”

Outside the bright yellow curtain, Zhao Xinyue's voice came faintly.

Qin Feng in the brocade quilt answered in a daze, turned over and continued to sleep. Although he is not afraid of the cold with the physique of a human immortal, he really has no interest in getting up early in such weather.

Zhao Xinyue called a few more times, and seeing that he still didn't respond, she was slightly unhappy, and lifted the curtain and went in.

There was a faint pain in his shoulder, Qin Feng opened his eyes helplessly, and saw a snow-white brocade suit, a charming and cute little Lori pressing on him, leaving a row of fine and neat tooth marks on his shoulder. His snowy and delicate face was facing him, and his big black and white eyes were full of coquettishness.

"Can't you let people sleep more?"

Qin Feng opened his eyes a little helplessly, turned over and sat up, Xiao Loli's good morning bite was still helpful in dispelling sleepiness.

"Did you sleep comfortably last night?" Zhao Xinyue leaned over and bit his earlobe and asked in a low voice.

"Hmm......"

Qin Feng smiled, this girl is not very old, but she has grown into a rather abrasive goblin.

Zhao Xinyue glanced at him and said, "Let's accompany others to enjoy the snow after breakfast, Sister Qiuyun is almost ready, but the weather is too cold, and the queen mother may not come today." ”

"Okay."

Qin Feng agreed. A team of beautiful maids came in with toiletries and served the young national teacher to get up, clean up and then go to the front hall to eat.

By the time he arrived, the steaming meal had been laid out, with a full eighteen main courses and thirty-six seasonal dishes, and a large table was full.

There are also twenty-four beautiful and soft-skinned maids waiting carefully, all dressed in sexy black silk maid costumes. Anyway, there is a dragon heating in the room, which is not cold at all.

The hereditary Iron Hat Prince, coupled with the title of National Teacher with a higher status, Qin Feng's current status is more noble than Zhao Yuanjin, so the specifications of this daily life will naturally not be much inferior to the emperor.

After he sat down, Zhao Xinyue and Zhang Qiuyun followed to the table, and Yun Qijun also arrived later, holding a small and delicate jade gourd in his hand.

"Has it been successfully formulated?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

Yun Qijun nodded, unscrewed the jade gourd, took a sip in front of him, and then handed it over, explaining: "It's not completely successful, you can achieve more than eighty percent of the effect in the ancient recipe, maybe you have to try a few more times before you can reach the perfect level." ”

Qin Feng took it and took a look, and in the jade gourd was a spirit liquor liquid as white as congealed fat, exuding a faint fragrance, which made people appetizing when they smelled it.

He took a slight sip, only to feel cold and sweet, with a hint of indescribable warmth, feeling contradictory but extremely harmonious and natural.

This kind of spirit wine is one of the rare resources needed for the peak human immortal to break through to the true immortal, in the past, due to the lack of medicinal raw materials, and the change of the laws of heaven and earth, the true immortal has been an unattainable realm, so this spirit wine has basically been lost.

However, Qin Feng was now in a high position and wealthy, so he could easily collect all the materials requested by Yun Qijun and let her refine those high-end resources.

"Thank you for your hard work,"

Qin Feng bowed his head and said: "I'll give you another 300,000 taels of silver, as for the raw materials of medicinal materials, you can go to the treasury to withdraw whatever you need, just tell Wei Mingyuan." ”

Yun Qijun agreed with satisfaction, this bastard finally has a little conscience and knows that he is good to him.

Qin Feng thought for a while, and then said to Zhao Xinyue: "Wait a minute, you can also go to the treasury to withdraw 300,000 taels of silver, and then choose a batch of gifts, and let people send them to the queen mother, in your own name." ”

"yes, okay."

The little princess smiled and agreed.

Queen Lu Qingyao's family background is ordinary, she has no money in the palace, and no one wants anyone, so it is really difficult to deal with those concubines who are from big families. Now that the prince has become his student, the relationship has gone further, and it is naturally impossible for her to be wronged again. In the name of Zhao Xinyue, send her some property and trustworthy manpower, so as to show her attitude, and naturally no one will dare to be disrespectful to her in the future.

Speaking of which, it's also strange that her personality is softer, if she can have the courage of Empress Xiao and Wu Zetian, maybe Qin Feng will consider helping her up, and now she can only choose her child.

Yun Qijun glanced at the little princess, and said in her heart that this thing in the red world is really funny, the queen has been wronged, and her own legitimate husband doesn't care, in the end, she has to rely on the men outside to find a way to support her, and she really doesn't know what to say.

After breakfast, Mei Xue'er came in and said that Zhu Yuntai was already waiting in the study, Qin Feng agreed, got up and walked towards the study.

“…… The lord, Li Wencong, the Weiguo Gong of Qingzhou, has already brought people into Beijing. ”

In the study, Zhu Yuntai's report surprised Qin Feng slightly.

"Is it so fast?"

He groaned. Due to the fact that Luojing was taken not long ago, coupled with the beginning of the new dynasty and the middle of winter, it was not suitable to continue to use troops from all aspects, so the current army of the Chu Dynasty was resting and consolidating the territory that had been obtained. The next campaign plan will not be put into action until March next year.

It's just that in the face of the Chu court, which has become a climate, the thoughts of the northern princes are much more complicated, most of the qi in the world has already been mastered, and their chances are getting slimmer and slimmer now, if they don't want to die in the future, they should start thinking about the way back for themselves and their families.

In the end, Li Wencong, who occupied half of Qingzhou and proclaimed himself the Duke of Weiguo, first made a choice, dismissing his cronies, handing over military power and territory, and taking the lead in submitting to the Chu Dynasty.

A few days ago, Li Wencong's secret envoy had entered Beijing to meet the emperor to discuss the matter of surrendering to the emperor, and Zhao Yuanjin immediately gave a positive response.

Since this is the first great prince who took the lead in serving after he ascended the throne and became emperor, Zhao Yuanjin attached great importance to it, and immediately promised that he would not blame the past, and he could be named the Duke of Weiguo, so that he could live up to his name, not only the reward was quite rich, but also his old subordinates were also given preferential treatment.

Of course, this was done for the people of the world to see, and it had an almost immediate effect, and the few remaining small and medium-sized princes in Qingzhou subsequently made the same choice.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that before the end of the year, the entire Qingzhou will be under the rule of the imperial court, which means that it is one step closer to unifying the world.

"It seems that Ye Mingce from Youzhou will soon have a statement, right? As for Wei Khotan, who merged with the state, he had already surrendered to the Hu royal court, so let's not talk about him for the time being. The cool king Li Yunsong in Guanzhong is still far away, and I'm afraid that he won't bow his head easily and give in, so he will have to play a few games in the coming year. Qin Feng said with a smile.

"The lord is right,"

Zhu Yuntai said: "Another piece of news is that the Huren prince Harbu suddenly led his troops back to the grassland, and I heard that there was a conflict with his father Khan, so he went back to fight for power. ”

"Oh? That's good news. ”

Qin Feng's eyes flashed, and many thoughts instantly surged in his heart.

With some of the world's authority, coupled with the starship's sensing ability, he now has a considerable certainty that this Huren prince is in a somewhat strange state, and maybe he is another incarnation of the will of the world that has descended.

If you can confirm it, it will be necessary to take immediate action yourself.

……

In the mansion of the head of the Li family.

"Bang!"

A delicate jade plate slammed to the ground and shattered.

"Damn! What a damn one! ”

Cai Xinglong gritted his teeth and roared, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and he flew up and kicked the museum shelf next to him with a fierce kick.

"This demon who doesn't know what to do and what he forgets about his righteousness, we have worked hard to win him over and please him, I didn't think that he didn't care about the slightest emotion, and turned his head to support that broken bloodline to ascend to the position of the prince, it really doesn't make sense!"

There were already many people standing in the study, and several heads of the family, as well as some familiar civil officials, had arrived, all of them with gloomy faces and without saying a word, and the atmosphere was indescribably depressing and heavy.

After many days of careful planning, careful layout, and step-by-step operation, seeing that victory was in sight, the little prince born by Hong Guifei was about to become the prince.

But he never thought that at this last critical moment, Qin Feng unexpectedly expressed his position, and immediately won Zhao Yuanjin's approval, and appointed his eldest son as the prince, making all their hopes come to naught, how could Cai Xinglong not be angry?

"That damn Qin Feng is a demon alien,"

Zhou Yuli, the servant of the ministry, gritted his teeth and said: "The emperor doesn't know what to think, he actually let this kind of person serve as the prince's teacher, as well as the three vulgar martial artists, businessmen, and small officials, let these people who are not on the stage teach the future son of heaven, but there are so many erudite Confucians in the court, but none of them are chosen, this is ...... How can this be? ”

In the past dynasties, in order to win the hearts of the scholars of the world, the emperor would select Confucian scholars to teach the princes, so that they could accept the Confucian value system and the concept of governance, which has formed a fixed practice and will not change due to the change of dynasties.

Moreover, under the bewitchment of Qin Feng, almost all the national policies implemented by Emperor Zhao Yuanjin were aimed at the gentry class, completely subverting the traditions of the previous dynasty, which was simply shocking and rebellious in their eyes.

If it weren't for the incomparable strength of the national teacher, they would have attacked it in groups a long time ago, and defeated it as a disaster for the country.

"Father, this has come to this, maybe we have to make another plan."

For a long time, his son Cai Yu said gloomily.
