[Regarding everyone's question: If the plot wants to develop, it is inevitable that there must be some 'reasons'. You can't always come up and fight, and then you still fight, and finally mess up the story for no reason.

If you just want to read a book that has no reason and is messy, then Tianya can only say: this book may disappoint you. 】

In the end, Zhang Hao and Hu Yinglan followed the guards to the scene, and there was also a palace guard of the country of Qixia who was trapped in the center by several princes, and on the ground, the prince of the country of Zhongshan fell in a pool of blood, his body separated.

The long sword that is used as a murder weapon is a standard long sword of the Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Qixia - but the weapons on the guards are all there.

Seeing Zhang Hao and Hu Yinglan coming, Yan Xiao, the crown prince of Yanyun Country, suddenly sneered: "Yo, why didn't the empress come?

Zhang Hao stopped Hu Yinglan's anger, looked around, and saw the gloating expressions of several princes—but on the surface, they all looked a little specious anger, and the wise men around the princes also maintained mysterious smiles.

Only Qin Shaoxuan, the young master of the crown prince of the country of Danyang, squatted next to the prince's corpse and did not speak.

Zhang Hao came to Qin Shaoxuan's side, "Qin Shaoxuan, can you see who killed His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Qin Shaoxuan's tone was hoarse: "I don't know." All I know is that His Highness asked me to go out to arrange the itinerary, and when I returned, I saw that the princes were surrounding here, blocking your two guards here, and they were sure that they had killed them.

Finally we let the guard go back and reported the news. ”

Zhang Hao asked the guard again. The guard said that when he came here, the prince of the country of Zhongshan had already separated his head, and the standard long sword of the palace of the country of Qixia was placed next to him.

The guard thought that this must be a false accusation, so he wanted to hide the long sword. But at this moment, the princes of the surrounding countries 'suddenly and neatly appeared'! Then everyone accused this guard of killing the prince and holding the murder weapon in his hand!

After that, Qin Shaoxuan let go of a guard and went back to report the news.

Zhang Hao took a deep breath, but he understood the general situation in his heart. I'm afraid that as soon as Qin Shaoxuan left, the rest of the princes will attack together, and it just so happened that Liu Xinyu arranged for guards to come over to protect the prince of Zhongshan Kingdom, but he was framed.

The main thing is this time...... What a coincidence. Of course, whether it is Liu Xinyu or Zhang Hao, they didn't expect these princes to be so ruthless. In the blink of an eye, such a vicious plan was accomplished.

And at this moment, Zhang Hao suddenly understood why everyone was not optimistic about the empress - because women are always a little soft-hearted. All of Liu Xinyu's actions, including killing his own brother, were driven to a dead end. But these princes are not.

Just because the prince of the country of Zhongshan made an inappropriate decision, they want to kill people and kill them, and by the way, they will blame them!

Perhaps anyone with a discerning eye understands that this is a false accusation. But the most important thing is that the prince of the country of Danyang came to be a guest at the invitation of the country of Qixia, but he died here! This is the biggest problem.

The prince of a country died here, and he couldn't tell what he was talking about. Not to mention that there are other princes of the kingdoms who are fueling the trouble.

It is conceivable that after these princes return to China, the rest of the countries will definitely 'accuse the country of Qixia of injustice', and use this to isolate the country of Qixia, and even ...... Dispatch troops!

Zhang Hao really wanted to say that before the matter is investigated, please stay with us for the time being. But after thinking about it, I still didn't open my mouth after all. If this is done, the country of Qixia will be under tremendous pressure, and maybe some prince will die unexpectedly. At that point, things really can't be controlled.

At this time, Zhang Hao even faintly blamed the guard: Why are you so enthusiastic! If you are in another world, when you encounter such a situation, you will definitely stand far away, avoid falling into the crime scene, and then fight zero.

That's really...... It's all the fault of passion!

But forget it, enthusiasm is right, Zhang Hao is not qualified to blame this guard for anything - it is not Zhang Hao's direct subordinate. Now Zhang Hao also understands the situation, if you are reasonable or something, don't think about it - there are only victories and defeats in politics, and there is no reason.

All means are only for the sake of victory, and as long as there is victory, no one cares what means - as long as it is controlled within reason.

Moreover, the rise of any country cannot avoid this kind of political confrontation. You can be disgusted, but the enemy won't stop because of it. Intrigue is wrong, but it can't be eradicated!

So Zhang Hao thought about it for a long time, and finally didn't say anything. In the end, I had to say to the princes of all countries: "We will investigate this matter clearly." If you want to leave, you can do so now. Be safe, though. Especially for a few people who are not protected enough, be careful that the knife comes from behind.

Farewell. ”

After that, Zhang Hao left with two guards and Hu Yinglan. As for the corpses...... Zhang Hao is not prepared to deal with it. Now I have a few meanings to meddle in the disposal of corpses. Therefore, Zhang Hao directly did not dispose of the corpse, nor did he say anything sympathetic - if he said anything sympathetic at this time, he would only be asking for trouble.

However, after this incident, Zhang Hao's mind completely changed. In the past, Zhang Hao also wanted to at least lead the Western countries to develop together, and try to complete reunification in a peaceful environment through a relatively gentle way.

But now Zhang Hao has changed his mind. If you want to break this strange political environment, diplomacy or something, there is nothing you can do. Only...... War!

I wanted to avoid war as much as possible, but it seems that change will need to be driven by war after all.

Zhang Hao didn't say anything, because there was nothing to say. No wonder Liu Xinyu didn't come over, because Liu Xinyu knew this result better.

............

The exhibition ended quietly, and the New Year arrived. But this New Year, there is no joy in the country of Qixia.

On the first day of the new year, Zhang Hao stood on the beach, looking at the first snow that came to this world. The snow was heavi, but it was melted by the turbulent green sea of death.

In the harbor, more than 2,000 sailors on two steel warships were training in the icy sea breeze and seawater. The battleship Zhiyuan has changed its armor and guns, and repaired its formation.

It would be an arduous journey to cross the Green Sea of Death to find the western shores of the Continent. According to the scale on the bracket elephant, the shortest range is tens of thousands of kilometers - but based on the experience of previous voyages, the bracket is not accurate.

Also, when it comes to the sea, the ship can't go straight – and there is no satellite navigation. The ideal forward route should be a wavy route. Sailing, wronging, proofreading, and sailing again. The ship also needs to contend with waves, winds, monsters, and ......

In the snowy season, Dugu Junjie roared angrily and took the lead in jumping into the icy water. More than 2,000 people roared angrily, completely without the True Yuan Protector, and jumped into the icy sea water like this.

Then swim a thousand kilometers from the water, climb aboard a rickety wooden boat, and drift through the wind and snow.

This kind of training has already started for five days. No one complained.

Taking advantage of the last incident, Zhang Hao took the opportunity to clean up the Dayang Group, and cleaned up some of the small shareholders who were not firm and even ate inside and out. Its cleaned up shares are being counted and prepared for issuance to the market.

According to Zhang Hao's plan, these stocks will be split into many small shares according to the influence of Dayang Group, and the initial issue price is one yuan per share. However, it has not been implemented for the time being, and the environment is not very good now.

A victory is urgently needed, and that victory needs to be taken from the sea!

Zhang Hao stood in the snow for a long time, until the snowflakes on his shoulders melted and froze again.

Zhao Dahe came to Zhang Hao's side, the master of the peak of Yuanying, respectfully and excitedly handed over an answer sheet.

Zhang Hao took it over and looked at it, this is the data that Zhao Dahe has re-proofread the starry sky in the past few days. It uses the mathematical knowledge of the Zhang family. Includes new concepts of numbers, angles, time, and more.

For example, the relationship between the North Star and the horizon, the elevation angle change with the observer, and time is listed separately.

With this data, anyone with a little knowledge of astronomy can sail according to the map.

The most important thing is that for the first time, the star map is 'curled', and the star map wraps a circular earth in the form of half an encirclement.

Through complex and temporarily accurate calculations, Zhao Dahe actually calculated for the first time the approximate diameter of the earth - 126,000 kilometers!

These were calculated by Zhao Dahe after sorting out all the data, mainly all the materials that the sect had observed in the past. Of course, this is also thanks to Zhang Hao's guidance from time to time recently.

The calculation process is very complicated, Zhao Dahe is a professional astrologer after all, and some professional knowledge is undoubted - the astrologer industry relies heavily on mathematical arithmetic. However, Zhang Hao directly looked at the calculation results, and sure enough, it was a planet.

Moreover, according to Zhao Dahe's calculations, the area shown by the earth elephant is only about one-tenth of the surface area of the planet.

Returning the answer sheet to Zhao Dahe, Zhang Haocai shook off the ice and snow on his body, "Don't spread this result." It's good that we know it internally. Besides, if you say it now, no one else will believe it. ”

"Understood!" Zhao Dahe accepted the answer, his expression still excited. He had reason to be excited, and from this moment on, astrology was no longer a fortune-teller, but ...... Map the earth and observe the starry sky!

Zhao Dahe looked up at the sky, although he couldn't see the sun at this time, he muttered to himself: "Next, I have to find a way to calculate how far away the sun and the moon are from us." In this way, you can roughly estimate the size of the sun and moon. In that way, we will also have a general understanding of the stars in the sky. ”

Zhang Hao looked at the sailors who were roaring and training in the distance, nodded and said, "Work hard! The future world will be engraved with your name!"

Zhao Dahe suddenly approached Zhang Hao: "Young Master, you quietly tell me, why are we suspended in the void, what is the force that binds us to the earth and can't fall? I still can't believe it, our world is actually a star...... Well, I should say it's a planet!"

Zhang Hao shook his head with a smile, "I'm sorry, I really don't know." I had just guessed a little bit of absurdity. ”

Then Zhang Hao looked at the heavy snow, which was getting bigger and bigger, just like the current situation in the country of Qixia.

It's just that Zhao Dahe's gaze at Zhang Hao was full of ...... Smell a rat.
