Linghu Su officially ascended the throne on December 20, and there were various complicated ceremonies. And because the emperor had just passed away, he could not celebrate in a big way, so the ceremony was very dull, with no drums or greetings.

The year name was officially changed to Yongxing, and this year is the first year of Yongxing.

After ascending the throne, he should be amnesty to the world, but Ling Husu changed the content, only forgiving minor sins, and not major sins. If you forgive a great sin, you are not sinning?

The ministers debated the issue of taxation, and a small number of ministers believed that the state was about to go to war and that taxation was indispensable. However, most ministers believed that the new emperor should bless the world and reduce taxes for three years when he ascended the throne.

Linghu Su has a headache, he needs money, a lot of money.

Wen Zhong came up with a suitable plan, only a part of the tax was reduced, and the basic tax was paid correctly. There was no commercial tax in this era, so Ling Husu wanted to bring it up, but he knew that he couldn't rush it, so he waited.

"Your Majesty, the Qin State and the Guardian of the State have sent a letter of state, intending to form an alliance."

This was expected by Ling Husu, except for the Han State, the other three kingdoms were established, and there would inevitably be two of them allied, due to the special geographical location of the Chen State, it was best to form an alliance with the Chen State.

Ling Husu gradually got used to sitting in a high position, but he was not used to sitting upright, but he couldn't reveal his true form now, otherwise, wouldn't those officials who looked at him unpleasantly want to grab the ground with their heads.

At least one-third of the officials in the DPRK and China resigned, and their purpose was originally just to demonstrate, but as a result, all of them agreed to it, leaving a group of people confused.

There are indeed capable ministers among the courtiers who resigned, and Ling Husu invited them back later, which was regarded as giving enough face, and most of these courtiers were in tears and declared their allegiance.

As for those who were not invited back, most of them were mediocre talents, and they had a lot of corruption and bribery, so Hu Su did not hesitate to let Cheng Jin check door to door, and if he found it, he would deal with it according to the law. The confiscation of all confiscated property was the best way to fill the treasury after the new emperor ascended the throne since ancient times.

In the Taihe Palace, Linghu Su asked: "What do the two countries say?" ”

"Qin said that after forming an alliance, peaceful coexistence and common defense against the enemy, there is nothing else. However, Wei Guo had some disrespectful words, and the ministers did not dare to say them. ”

Linghu Su asked Xiu Yun to present the letter of patriotism, Ling Husu opened it and smiled.

"Emperor Wei asked me to marry him, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was excited, especially those old courtiers, who scolded the Emperor Wei and scolded him so much that his saliva was splashing. And these old courtiers also used to scold Ling Husu the most fierce and ruthless. Ling Husu doesn't blame them, it's just human nature! Besides, the more this kind of old courtier, the more experienced and rare he is.

Wen Zhong said, "Your Majesty, please form an alliance with the Qin State. ”

"Minister, please form an alliance with the Qin State."

The monarch and the ministers unanimously settled the matter.

Far away in Chang'an, the capital of Qin, Mo Zheng laughed after getting the news, he was wearing a light armor, he had just finished inspecting the army, and on the way back, he was hunting and barbecuing with Wei Zhiyuan, and he had endless fun.

The news came from Wei Zhiyuan's subordinates, and it was sent quickly.

Wei Zhiyuan was rummaging through the roast rabbit and said: "This patriotic emperor is not a dumbfounder, Linghu Su's kid is now the emperor, how can he be so insulted by him." ”

Mo Zheng was lying on the grass with an irrepressible smile on his face.

"Shu Qin definitely doesn't know this, if you divide her IQ by a hundred, she can't do this kind of thing."

"Yo, the Emperor of the Patriotic State is very bold and dares to hide it from Shu Qin. I said, Boss, didn't you say that if Linghu Su ascends the throne, he will not form an alliance with Chen Guo, but an alliance to defend the country! ”

"Can't I change it! Later, I found out that no matter how strong Chen Guo is, it is still in the center and is at the mercy of several of our countries. But defending the country is different, it is a corner of peace, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it is allowed to become bigger, I am afraid it will be more difficult to solve than Chen Guo. The most important thing is that I am worried that Shu Qin will take the throne. ”

Wei Zhiyuan roasted the meat, tore off half of it, handed it to Mo Zheng, and held the other half and gnawed it on himself. After gnawing for a while, he said: "The minister of the DPRK and China forces you to marry a wife every day!" What do you think, you can't be alone all the time! You are the emperor, how can you not have three palaces and six courts. Otherwise, marry me. ”

Mo Zheng spit out the meat in his mouth disgustingly, and scolded with a smile: "Wei Zhiyuan, be careful that I punish you to the Nine Clans." ”

"Ahh My Majesty, the minister is so scared and afraid, please let it go. ”

Mo Zheng kicked him, but his mind couldn't help but think about the first time he saw Ling Husu, when he was just a little kid, scared half to death by the Perfect Star Thieves. I remembered that when I went to the capital of Chen Guo, I saw him for the first time, he was beautiful and peerless, and he was loved by everyone, and the flowers bloomed.

Mo Zheng said to himself: "If you really need a queen, Chen Susu, I hope it's you." ”

And Shu Qin was furious in the house at this time.

"What is he going to do, I write the country well, I want to form an alliance on an equal footing and resist the Qin State, as a result, he changed it to me indiscriminately, in a vain attempt to marry the Emperor Chen, it is really a big joke in the world, now it is okay, Chen is forced to form an alliance with the Qin State, and I am in a disadvantageous situation to defend the country. What can I do, I can't go to the capital of Chen Guo, and beg Linghu Su to form an alliance with me!" ”

The royal family of Wei Guo is surnamed Zhao, and the contemporary emperor is called Zhao Xun.

When he first ascended the throne, he didn't know anything, but fortunately, with the help of Prime Minister Qingshu, he was able to gain a firm foothold and stabilize the court.

He supported Qingshu's change because for him, nothing was important except for the throne, except for pleasure. However, with the passage of time, after the constant reminders of the eunuchs and some loyal ministers around him, he gradually woke up and discovered a terrifying situation, Qingshu was in the officialdom, the army, and the reputation of the people was far better than that of him Zhao Xun.

Even many people only know Qingshu, but not the emperor.

Someone jokingly said that if Qingshu wants to be the emperor, he only needs to raise his arms and shout, and he will inevitably respond to the gathering.

In fact, when Qingshu was alone with Zhao Xun, he made his position clear more than once, and did all this for the sake of the country, not for power. However, how could Zhao Xun understand, as time went by, the misunderstanding became deeper and deeper. This misunderstanding gradually intensified during the past six months.

The big eunuch beside Zhao Xun is called Li Ying, who has been taken care of since he was a child and is the closest.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid learned that Qingshu has a close relationship with Chen Susu of Chen State, and there seems to be a suspicion of a connection. This time, Qingshu strongly advocated an alliance with it, I am afraid that it has the intention of dedicating the city and the country. This is Li Ying's words at the beginning, Zhao Xun deeply agreed, Qingshu's move did have the intention of dedicating the defense of the country to the new emperor of Chen Guo.

So, he changed the letter of state, he was not stupid, he knew that this would anger Chen Guo.

He didn't want to form an alliance with the Chen State in the first place, but preferred to form an alliance with the Qin State. And the state of Qin, without responding, dragged on.

"Li Ying, Qin Guo has not responded, what do you mean."

In the palace, Zhao Xun has been having a headache about this matter.

Li Ying had no way, at this time, a eunuch came in to report.

"Your Majesty, the State of Qin has formed an alliance with the State of Chen."

Zhao Xun's face changed greatly, and he asked blankly: "What can I do about it?" ”

However, all around were palace maids and eunuchs, silent.

Zhao Xun grabbed the porcelain on the case and threw it to the ground, and after falling for a while, he was tired, and fell asleep.

Li Ying approached and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, haven't you always liked the concubine and the girl in the munitions factory, the slave maid has an idea." ”

Zhao Xun's eyes lit up and asked, "What do you have in mind?" ”

"Forgive the slave and the maid to sell it first."

"You kid, dare to play dumb riddles with Lone, good, as long as you do it well, your benefits are indispensable."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will not let you down."
