When Liang Bao came back, Emperor Zhou Ping did not continue to correct the folds, but leaned on the couch and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Liang Bao covered Emperor Zhou Ping's body with a thin blanket, which made the stove more prosperous and made Emperor Zhou Ping sleep more comfortably.

Only when Your Majesty has the spirit can it be possible to "fight" with those old ministers.

An hour later, the chamberlains sent out notified the officials above the third grade to enter the palace one after another.

The New Year is coming soon, and in previous years, I am now ready to seal the pen and start the New Year. However, because the envoy of Xiyun Kingdom arrived in the capital, they actively campaigned to call for surrender, and strive to sign a surrender contract as soon as possible.

His Majesty urgently summoned him overnight, and it must have been because of this incident.

It's just that the Great Zhou has been victorious, the Xiyun Kingdom has also surrendered, there is no war at the border, and there is no urgent matter.

"Master Song, do you know why His Majesty summoned us to the palace late at night?" Lord Hubu Shangshu Zhou asked, at the end of the year, all kinds of accounts have been prepared, and even after the Xiyun Kingdom signed the surrender document, the silver items that the Great Zhou rewarded to the Xiyun Kingdom were also prepared.

Song Yushi shook his head, "Song doesn't know." ”

He has the responsibility of supervising and compiling historical materials, and knows that His Majesty recently asked Gu Shao and General Li, who had won a great victory in Xiyun Kingdom, to check the records of the use of troops by the Great Qi and the Xiyun Kingdom in the previous dynasty, and also to check the relevant records of the use of troops by the Great Zhou of the current dynasty against the Xiyun Kingdom.

It can be seen that tonight must have something to do with this matter.

Lord Shangshu Chong of the Ministry of Rites looks forward to the imperial court accepting the surrender of Xiyun Kingdom as soon as possible, and those shameless people in Xiyun Kingdom do not have to go to the courtyard to cry and mourn all day long.

Yes, it's just crying and mourning, which is very unseemly.

Under the Ministry of Rites, the Rifan Yuan specializes in the affairs of neighboring countries. Now after the defeat of the Xiyun Kingdom, there are so many prisoners of war captured by the Great Zhou.

These prisoners of war were not ordinary soldiers of the Xiyun Kingdom, but an elite army composed of the nobles of the Xiyun Kingdom and the children of the family. Fully equipped, strong and strong. Many children of noble families want to be promoted, and many people come here to gild a layer of gold.

There are hundreds of people with titles such as the prince and the county king, who have a good family background, and now they have become captives and are cutting wood and mining in the northwest!

In order to make Da Zhou agree to accept the surrender of Xiyun Kingdom as soon as possible, the people of Xiyun Kingdom not only cried at the gate of the palace, but also cried in the Li Fan Courtyard, which was very pitiful.

The posture is so low that many people forget that the Western Cloud Kingdom has repeatedly and brazenly torn up its promises and launched wars.

The three grades are extremely three grades or more, and they are also positions of real power, adding up to only eighteen people in total. After a while, it was all there.

Emperor Zhou Ping took a nap for an hour, full of energy and energy.

Gonggong Liang led these ministers into the imperial study.

Emperor Zhou Ping sat behind a bright yellow desk, with two rows of chairs on either side of the table.

Everyone saluted, "Knock to your majesty, long live your majesty, long live, long live." ”

Emperor Zhou Ping waved his hand, "Flat, the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou are almost gone, I don't dare to ask for long live." Ministers, please sit down, Liang Bao, and give these two pieces of information to Zhong Aiqing to see. After reading it, swap, be sure to see it clearly. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liang's father-in-law took the two documents, one in a row.

These adults sat down, shocked, staring at the information in Liang's father-in-law's hand.

Boss Song sat in the front position on the left, and got the comparison of the troop consumption of the former Great Qi and the Xiyun Kingdom. Originally, Lord Song didn't care, and thought that His Majesty had realized that the belligerent would die.

But after turning over the pieces of paper, Old Man Song's face was solemn. The Great Qi's use of troops against the Xiyun Kingdom was almost always provoked by the Xiyun Kingdom, but the consumption of the Great Qi was huge, far exceeding that of the Xiyun Kingdom. In addition, Xiyun Kingdom does not pay attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality at all, and every time he commits a crime, he burns and loots at the border, these looted things are enough to make up for the losses of Xiyun Kingdom in launching a war, and in order to show the face of the Heavenly Empire, after defeating Xiyun Kingdom, he will also give a reward.

In this way, the consumption of the previous dynasty and the Great Qi is greater.

The other one on the opposite side is Lord Hubu Shangshu Zhou, who is in charge of Da Zhou's money bag. At first glance, it was the statistics of the Great Zhou Dynasty on the use of troops in Xiyun Country for more than 100 years, and I had a rough idea in my heart.

In the past, he only focused on the consumption of the Great Zhou, and the consumption of waging war against the Xiyun Kingdom, and did not count it. At this glance, it was quickly seen that the consumption of the Great Zhou was too large, far exceeding that of the Xiyun Kingdom. I couldn't help but panic in my heart, under the elimination of one and the other, it is no wonder that Xiyun Kingdom is strong year after year, and the cycle of tearing up the surrender treaty is getting shorter and shorter.

The others hadn't taken their turn yet, but they didn't forget to carefully observe the expressions of Lord Yushi Song and Lord Tobe Shangshu Zhou. The two adults, who were originally moody, actually showed shocked and panicked expressions.

Something is wrong!

This is everyone's speculation, and the eyes that look at those two documents are also more vigilant.

If you want to see it as soon as possible and know the crisis as soon as possible, there will be more ways to solve it.

Read these materials carefully in order.

After everyone saw it, their expressions were solemn.

Especially the ministers who have already read the two documents, after careful comparison, they came to a cruel conclusion. The Xiyun Kingdom continued to grow by waging wars, and then continued to consume the national strength of the Great Zhou, just like the consumption of the previous dynasty and the Great Qi back then.

In the long run, Da Zhou will also follow in the footsteps of the previous dynasty.

After everyone finished reading it, Emperor Zhou Ping looked at these court ministers, and his voice was low and serious, "The strategy of the Great Zhou towards the Xiyun Kingdom is not much different from that of the previous dynasty Great Qi, which was founded to its demise in the previous dynasty, a total of one hundred and fifty-three years. Now that my Great Zhou has been founded for one hundred and twenty-one years, how long do you think my country can last? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone became saw-billed gourds.

Emperor Zhou Ping's eyes swept over everyone, "The Central Plains Dynasty, with its vast land and vast resources, has always regarded itself as the superior country of the Celestial Empire, and the four directions come to the court, and the world is the master." Such a false name is indeed pleasant, but it consumes the luck of the Central Plains Dynasty. Let's not talk about this dynasty first, let's talk about the previous dynasty. Its land area is more than that of Xiyun Kingdom, its materials are richer than that of Xiyun Kingdom, its military strength is stronger than that of Xiyun Kingdom, and its courtiers are all talents who have been selected after ten years of hard study and imperial examinations. It is stronger than Xiyun Kingdom everywhere, Zhong Aiqing, can anyone tell me why Great Qi is still perishing? ”

"In the end, Xiyun Kingdom also took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and took the opportunity to go south and occupy the land of the two states in the Central Plains, which has not yet been returned. My Great Zhou land is almost the same as that of Xiyun Kingdom, there are many soldiers, there are many victories, and the number of surrenders of Xiyun Kingdom is gradually increasing, which shows that the cycle of Xiyun Kingdom tearing up the surrender document is getting shorter and shorter. Ministers, can you tell me why this is? ”

"I've been thinking about this all this time. Why is Xiyun Kingdom becoming more and more courageous? Can any of you give me an accurate answer? According to the attitude of the courtiers towards the Xiyun Kingdom and the surrounding countries, my country may be longer than the previous dynasty, and it is estimated that it will be one hundred and sixty years. Maybe I can still be alive, watching the Great Zhou destroy the country, and the Xiyun Kingdom continue to move south, and then occupy the two states of the Central Plains, and even the entire Central Plains in the way of encroachment. ”
