Emperor Zhou Ping said in a deep voice: "Empress, don't worry all day long, the emperor went out with his uncle and Li Yuanqing, and they will definitely try their best to protect the emperor." ”

Empress Zhao smiled, but her smile was very faint, "Although the concubines know these truths, they still can't rest assured." ”

"After all, the sword has no eyes, and no one knows if there will be an accident. Although I knew that the eldest brother and General Li would do their best to protect the emperor, I still couldn't rest assured. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Zhou Ping held the queen's hand, "After our emperor was born, although there was some turmoil, he was still young at the time, and he couldn't understand it at all. ”

"You have been living under our wings, and you have not really experienced the wind, frost, snow and rain, and you have not seen the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood."

"Although the emperor is very stable and very studious, his mind is not firm. That's why I had to let him go through the cruelty of war and the danger of losing his country. ”

Empress Zhao smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, what you said, the concubines all know. ”

"Therefore, when the concubine learned that His Majesty wanted the emperor to go to the northwest, even if the concubine was worried, she did not stop her."

Emperor Zhou Ping smiled, "When the eldest brother and Li Yuanqing triumph, I will call Feng Huang'er the crown prince." ”

Empress Zhao was comforted when she heard this, "Your Majesty is wise, and Your Majesty has carefully taught the emperor since he was a child. has been on the battlefield, experienced the battle of the destruction of the Xiyun Kingdom, and is truly mature. ”

Emperor Zhou Ping nodded, "Yes, when the time comes, after canonizing the crown prince, you can take him to deal with the government together." ”

"I'll be able to relax a little more and spend more time with the Queen. I've been so tired all these years, but now that the emperor has grown up, he can finally share his worries for me. ”

When Empress Zhao heard this, she had mixed feelings in her heart.

Others only saw Emperor Zhou Ping standing tall, the honor of the Ninety-Five, and the glory was extreme.

Who will remember that poor little poor little poor in the palace at the beginning, in order to be able to eat, try his best?

Even when they grew up and got married to the fiefdom, they were still very low-key.

He was diligent in his fiefdom and never dared to be careless.

While the other princes were busy fighting for the throne, they recuperated, hid their strength, and governed their fiefdoms.

At a time when the court was in turmoil, the princes who held great power attacked each other, and the husband and wife were still turtles with shrunken heads and did not dare to take their heads.

It wasn't until the death and wounding of the princes above that the imperial power was in jeopardy, that His Majesty turned the tide, inherited the unification, and stabilized the dynasty.

Later, he reused the virtuous ministers, and there were auspicious people like Mrs. Derui, who found high-yielding seeds and was good at farming.

They are constantly updating their techniques and improving their farming tools.

Constantly forging ahead, constantly expanding the territory, building bridges and paving roads, and lightly dispensing with meager endowments, there is today's Dazhou Zhongxing.

Empress Zhao said warmly: "The concubine has always accompanied Your Majesty. ”

Emperor Zhou Ping smiled, "Good! ”

Now the entire Xiyun Kingdom is scattered like a sieve, and it is empty everywhere.

Those wealthy merchants in Xiyun Kingdom seemed to smell the arrival of chaos.

He has packed up his money and left the West Cloud Country with his family to take refuge in other countries.

Even some ministers and nobles began to transfer some of their families one after another, so that they would not die in the civil strife in Xinyun.

They only thought that the civil strife had begun, but they never expected that the army of the Great Zhou had already arrived in the city.

Originally, because of the competition for the throne, the dog's head had been beaten, but now the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty is approaching the city, and the army of Xiyun Kingdom is in a hurry to resist the enemy together.

They are their own masters, and they can't cooperate well at all, and they also frame each other.

How can such a rotten Xiyun Kingdom not be defeated?

The city was losing more and more.

The old king of Xiyun Kingdom was unconscious, and after finally waking up, he learned that Da Zhou was attacking Xiyun Kingdom and had occupied more than 20 cities, so he vomited blood and died.

At this moment, the entire Xiyun Kingdom was even more like a plate of scattered sand, chaotic.

Some princes directly swept away the treasures of the Western Cloud Kingdom and fled further northwest.

Some princes fled to other countries.

Some princes continued to resist and died on the battlefield.

……

The royal family of Xiyun Kingdom was wiped out in ashes for a while.

The princes who fled were surrounded by the flank army sent by General Zhao and all of them were captured.

Among them, the eldest prince also brought a team of people, and also captured the three princes of Xiyun Kingdom and the queen of Xiyun Kingdom, and intercepted a large number of treasures.

However, the eldest prince Yuze was also a little unlucky, the battle was won, and a soldier of the Xiyun Kingdom who pretended to be dead actually stabbed the eldest prince.

The eldest prince was injured in the arm, but the bandaging was timely and there was no major problem.

After Li Yuanqing heard about it, he was scared into a cold sweat, and secretly sent someone to follow to protect the eldest prince, and he must not let the eldest prince have an accident.

This battle lasted for half a year.

In the past six months, the eldest prince's original face was smeared, but now it has become really black.

The skin is also much rougher, but the body is also stronger, and the shoulders are thicker.

In fact, the Great Zhou army captured all the Xiyun Kingdom in less than half a year.

Originally, General Zhao sent someone to pick up the eldest prince, but the eldest prince was unwilling to leave, so he stayed to see how Li Yuanqing appeased the local people.

Li Yuanqing abolished all the systems of the Xiyun Kingdom, as well as the privileges of the nobility.

The common people of Xiyun Kingdom, as long as they are willing to lay down their arms, can get land and playgrounds.

At the same time, serfdom in the Kingdom of Xiyun was abolished.

All those who obey the management of the Great Zhou are the identity of free people.

Except for handing over 20% of the allocated land to the government, all the rest is their own.

This greatly stimulated the people of the local Xiyun Kingdom.

Because as the people of the Western Cloud Kingdom, they are not considered free people, they have no land of their own, they do not have their own pasture.

The things they grow and the cattle, sheep and horses they raise, except for a little left to feed themselves and their families, all the rest must be handed over to the lord.

The lesser lord then gave the things to the big lord, and the big lord handed them over to the king.

In such layers of exploitation, the serfs at the bottom are the most bitter.

Do the most work, get the least in the end, and be bullied by the upper nobles.

The people who died in the war were also the lowest serfs, and if they died, they died in vain, and the compensation they could get was very little, or even none.

Since Li Yuanqing issued such a decree, the common people who had just been restored to the status of free citizens were very enthusiastic.

Not only did he not resist, but he also reported those nobles of the Xiyun Kingdom who had ulterior intentions to resist.

In addition, Li Yuanqing also called on everyone to actively sign up to participate in the liberation of other serfs in Xiyun Kingdom, so that these poor serfs can get land and pasture.

In doing so, you can get silver, and you can also get cattle and sheep rewards.

Anyway, these were all snatched from the big and small nobles, and distributed to these serfs who turned over and became the masters of the house, and let these serfs go to those places that had not yet been occupied to promote the good policies of the Great Zhou.

As soon as the serfs in some places heard that the army of the Great Zhou had arrived, the soldiers at the bottom were all serfs, and they directly opened the city gate to welcome the Great Zhou army in.

Through such infiltration, Li Yuanqing is often able to capture a city without bloodshed.

The larger the territory occupied, if you want to become the territory of the Great Zhou, you need the officials of the Great Zhou to manage it.

After Emperor Zhou Ping received Li Yuanqing's recital, he applauded the case.
