Chapter 69: A Threat from the State of Zhou

"It's all from the East Investigation Factory of Zhou State."

The East Detective Factory was a spy organization of the Zhou State, under the direct command of the Zhou Emperor, in charge of guards, arrests, and prisons.

Fang Xiu's brows furrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "So, behind this matter is Emperor Zhou's manipulation!" ”

Daji snuggled in his arms and responded, "Begonia said the same thing." ”

"She has been busy cleaning up the eyeliner buried in Chang'an by various countries recently, and she can't find time to see her master, so let the family take the talk, Emperor Zhou has been hoarding soldiers and horses at the border, with bad intentions, and the master must be careful."

A year ago, Emperor Zhou brazenly launched a war, with the Tiger Ben Army as the vanguard, and invaded Daqian.

The imperial court was unable to deal with it, so it could only sign an agreement to pay an indemnity of three million taels of silver and cede most of the land in Yongzhou, but even so, Emperor Zhou did not agree, and finally compromised under the pressure of hundreds of officials.

The wolf's ambition is obvious!

Fang Xiu had always been clear.

He will not be satisfied with the land of one state, and one day he will invade.

However, according to the information provided by Haitang, the Great Zhou was implementing a new policy, and the scholarly class resisted fiercely and there were many internal contradictions.

Even if Emperor Zhou wanted to start a war, he should not be at this time......

"If the Zhou State invades, it's really hard to deal with ......"

Fang Xiu's brows furrowed slightly, and he began to compare the strength of the two countries.

The Zhou army was strong and there was no external trouble.

If Emperor Zhou was determined to start a war, unless the flintlock pistol and the Franc cannon could be mass-produced in advance and equipped with a new army, the Qianguo would not be able to stop it.

Due to metallurgical technology and productivity constraints, early mass production is not realistic.

If you want to resist the Zhou State, you can only rely on the power of the system.

"It's really not good, lock the little empress in Xiangguo Mansion, I will personally go into battle and whip every day."

"Use the sentiment points you get to exchange for the Corps."

"20,000 Xuanjia cavalry should be able to compete with the Tiger Ben Army of the Great Zhou!"

This thought appeared in Fang Xiu's mind, and he quickly vetoed it.

There is a limit to people's mood swings.

If you really do things absolutely, the empress will mourn more than die, and it will be difficult to get emotional points in the future.

It is not advisable to fish in the dry waters.

A long stream of water is the right way.

Besides.

There is one more reason.

The human heart is made of flesh.

During this time, the little empress obviously had emotions other than those of the monarch and the minister.

Fang Xiu couldn't bear to let her suddenly face such a change.

In case it breaks.

The original tsundere empress can't come back.

Fang Xiu thought so.

Not far away, the butler's voice suddenly came.

"Master, someone from the palace has come, saying that His Majesty wants to see you."

"Got it."

The butler bowed and retreated.

Fang Xiu looked at the charming little face in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead.

"Benxiang entered the palace first."

A flush appeared on Daji's fair face, and she lowered her head and hummed softly.

Half an hour later.

Fang Xiu, dressed in a gold-rimmed scarlet robe, came to the little empress.

"Minister, see Your Majesty!"

Dragon chair.

Wu Mingkong raised his eyes and glanced at it, handed the piece in his hand to Lin Wan'er, and said, "Take it to Fang Xiang." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lin Wan'er held the piece and came to Fang Xiu's face, presenting it with both hands.

Fang Xiu stretched out his hand to take the piece, and after opening it, he browsed it from top to bottom.

The chapter is presented by the Yongzhou Thorn History, mainly about the Zhou State suddenly hoarded a large number of soldiers, horses, grain and grass on the border of Yongzhou, and asked His Majesty how to deal with it.

"What does Fang Xiang think of this matter?"

Wu Mingkong looked at Fang Xiu in front of him with a pair of beautiful eyes, and his tone was flat.

Fang Xiu closed the chapter and said: "The minister thinks that since Emperor Zhou implemented the new policy last year, there have been constant internal contradictions in the Zhou State, and in a short period of time, Emperor Zhou has no reason and cannot spare the energy to start another war. ”

He made such a judgment based on common sense.

But Emperor Zhou has always been crazy and does not act according to common sense.

Less than a year after ascending the throne, he tore up the alliance with the Qianguo and brazenly invaded.

The hundred officials admonished, and under pressure to sign an armistice agreement, they turned their heads and pointed the finger at the hundred officials.

In less than a year, new policies such as the Conscription Law, the Baojia Law, and the Fangtian Tax Law were successively implemented.

and the scholar class in opposition.

Any emperor in his right mind, even if he wants to make some achievements, will not be so eager for quick success.

Therefore.

Fang Xiu added: "However, Emperor Zhou is crazy and has always acted out of common sense, even if the minister judges that he will not start a war for the time being, he should let the military department prepare in advance and deploy more troops in Yongzhou." ”

Although the army of Zhichong Mansion does not have much combat power, it can always play a role when it is placed there.

Even if it is tens of thousands of pigs, they can be used as a buffer when they are placed on the road.

When the little empress heard Fang Xiu's analysis, she was a little happy in her heart, and said, "I think so too. ”

“......”

Fang Xiu was speechless.

The little empress said again: "There is another thing, the drunken flower pavilion of the Zhou Kingdom has offered a set of glass cups to plot the recipe of monosodium glutamate and refined salt, but I did not agree.

I thought, they won't give up easily, after you go back, let the people of Jumbo Zhai be cautious, keep the recipe, and don't be stolen by others. ”

When Fang Xiu heard this, he thought for a while, looked at the empress, and said lightly: "Your Majesty is doing things in the sect?" ”

The Little Empress: "......"

[Mood +2000]

Wu Mingkong looked at Fang Xiu with some annoyance, and said angrily: "I am a king, you are a minister, why can't I teach you to do things!" ”

Fang Xiudao: "The minister is an auxiliary minister, and he is His Majesty's father, has Your Majesty ever seen his daughter teach her father to do things?" ”

"You!"

Wu Ming's face was red, and he stretched out his finger to point at Fang Xiu, unable to speak for a long time.

This traitor!

He compared himself to a father and me to a daughter.

It's just rampant!

Is he still thinking that one day, I will call him Daddy!

Come to think of this.

Wu Mingkong was even more annoyed, and it took a while to calm down, and he said angrily: "I don't have the same knowledge as you!" ”

Fang Xiu said: "Your Majesty still owes the minister a father, and it has been delayed until now, it should be because the minister is not as knowledgeable as Your Majesty." ”

[Mood +1000]

As soon as these words came out, Wu Mingkong suddenly became stunned.

In any case, she did promise to call the traitor a father.

It's not a matter to drag it on like this.

Otherwise, every time they quarrel, this traitor will talk about this, but she can't refute it.

I really can't do it, wait for a while to find an opportunity and call him out......

Come to think of this.

A flush appeared on Wu Ming's blank face, and he pretended to be indifferent: "I promise you, next time." ”

Fang Xiu glanced at her and asked, "Which time will it be next?" ”

Wu Mingkong gritted his teeth, finally made a decision, blushed, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Mid-Autumn Festival ...... at the latest"

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty's voice is too soft, and the minister didn't hear it." ”

[Mood +1000]

Wu Mingkong glared at him, and said angrily: "What else will Ling Chengtian do besides bullying me?" ”

"Will earn money, control food prices, plant sweet potatoes, train new troops, and make fireworks ......"

Fang Xiu said a lot in one breath.

When the little empress heard this, she was speechless.

After a while, he blushed and raised his voice:

"At the latest during the Mid-Autumn Festival, we must fulfill our promises!"

Got a positive answer.

A smile appeared on Fang Xiu's face and asked, "Is there anything else Your Majesty has to do?" If not, the minister will retire first. ”

He has just arrived, and he is about to leave, this traitor is so busy!

It's not that the golden house hides the beautiful girl, and she is in a hurry to go back to warm up......

For some reason, Wu Mingkong always felt that time passed quickly with Fang Xiu.

She thought for a moment and spoke:

"I have one more thing to ask you."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Wu Mingkong hesitated for a moment and asked:

"What do you think, if Zhou Guo's new policy is placed in my big job, what will be the effect?"
