"How's it going outside?"

Without waiting for Zhang Yuan's report, Ji Xuan spoke lightly first.

Since Yu Shifu and Shen Hou left the city with all the ministers of civil and military affairs, he sent Zhang Yuan to inquire about the news.

Zhang Yuan returned, obviously, there was already a result.

"Your Majesty, our situation is very bad!" Zhang Yuan's voice was extremely solemn.

This time, he heard too much news, but almost every piece of news was not good for the Great Zhou Imperial City.....

"Let's hear it!" Ji Xuan was very calm, which he had expected a long time ago,

Father Yu Shi and Shen Hou fled in a hurry, and they would definitely not give up, if they just admit it, it would not be Father Yu Shi and Shen Hou.

"Your Majesty, at present, all the vassal states have chosen to be independent and no longer co-dominate the Great Zhou, among which the five strong states of Qi, Jin, Chu, Qin, and Song are the most arrogant....especially the State of Qi has begun to plan to annex the surrounding small vassal states, and the ambition is obvious!"

Zhang Yuan sighed.

With the people and horses in the imperial city now, let alone to exterminate these five powers, even the weakest ones can't be defeated, so they can only watch them completely subvert the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The centuries-old foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty was ruined, and it was really uncomfortable for him.

"This is normal, even if there is no great change in the imperial city, it will be a matter of time before the princes of all walks of life leave the Great Zhou!"

Ji Xuan touched his chin and looked as usual.

In fact, the sub-feudal system founded by the ancestors of the Great Zhou Dynasty is destined to bring the Great Zhou Dynasty to this point.

Any emperor, if he does not have strong combat power in his hands, he will have no right to speak, and he will remain unchanged for eternity!

"What about Father Yu Shi and Shen Hou?" Ji Xuan turned around.

Compared with the other princes, he was more concerned about the movements of these two.

In a short period of time, other vassal states will definitely not make a move against the Great Zhou Imperial City,

As long as he is given time and let the Great Zhou Dynasty develop step by step, he will not be afraid that he will not be able to deal with those vassal states in the future.

"Your Majesty, these two thieves are planning to establish a country four hundred miles east and west of the imperial city, and they have even released rumors... Say..... say, as long as our people dare to go out of the imperial city twenty miles east and west, they will be killed!"

Saying this, Zhang Yuan's fist couldn't help but clench.

When I heard the news at the time, I almost blew up.....

The blatant establishment of the country is the biggest provocation to His Majesty, and the most disgusting thing is that the place they chose is not far from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Four hundred miles from east to west?Qingcheng and Longxi City?" Ji Xuan looked at the map on the bookcase.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is said that Yu Shiqing, the younger brother of Yu Shi's father, is the ninth-level martial artist who has already led the army to Longxi City....."

"It's kind of interesting, they want to completely block the imperial city from things!"

Ji Xuan raised his eyebrows, and smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth.

The Imperial City of the Great Zhou Dynasty is located in the hinterland of Qishan, with towering mountains on the north and south sides, and birds are not allowed to cross.

If you want to get out of Qishan, enter the vast hinterland of the Central Plains, or enter the northwest wasteland, the only way to go is the east-west passage.

This Qingcheng and Longxi City are just not far from the mountain pass, which can be attacked and defended, and they are two extremely important cities!

"Your Majesty is wise, Father Yu Shi and Shen Hou should have planned to do so, according to rumors, they will soon send a large army to build a pass twenty miles from the imperial city....."

The more he talked, the more complicated Zhang Yuan's expression became.

If these two forces are really allowed to succeed, there is only one final result in the Great Zhou Imperial City, that is, they will be trapped and die in the hinterland of Qishan.

"Build a pass, hehe, unless they can build a water village on the Wei River, otherwise, they will never be able to trap my Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Ji Xuan got up and walked to the door of the main hall.

In the past few days, he has been learning about the things of Da Zhou every day,

It is also known that here, all the vassal states have almost zero use of the river, and even boats have not been built. The limited use is also a canoe with hollowed out tree trunks, and there is no combat power at all.

Can they block dry roads, can they still block waterways?

"What is a water village?"

Hearing His Majesty's self-talk, Zhang Yuan was a little confused.

There were so many things he hadn't even heard of.

"By the way, what else is the news?" Regarding Zhang Yuan's question, Ji Xuan did not explain.

When the time comes, after the ship is built, everything will be known.

As for shipbuilding, when he was on Earth, Ji Xuan really knew about it.

"Your Majesty, there are rumors about you, these are the ghosts of Father Yu Shi and Shen Hou!"

"Rumors, pediatric tricks!" Ji Xuan's expression became cold.

Three months, as long as it is three months, he will definitely give Father Yu Shi and Shen Hou a big surprise,

No matter what, this Qingcheng and Longxi City must be in their own hands!

So, in the main hall, a master and a servant fell silent at the same time, and they didn't say anything to themselves for a long time.

...........

The imperial city has become lively because of the participation of 10,000 people, and at least some people can still be seen sporadically walking around the wide streets.

At this time, a convoy of dozens of people was ushered in at the city gate.

The one who rode at the front of the convoy was none other than the chief steward of the Pingxuan Palace.

Let's go, let's go!

The sound of horses' hooves was approaching, and it was very weak, and the team of men and horses who had been hurrying repeatedly was already exhausted.

"Lord, if you insist, you will enter the city immediately, and when you return to the palace, I will cook for you......"

Turning to look at the carriage behind him, and then at the huge city ahead, the butler opened his mouth full of hope.

"Go into the city at once?well, it's great!Butler, this king wants to eat the most delicious food, and he wants to take a bath of flowers....he wants to ......"

Here, as soon as the butler's words fell, the excited voice of King Pingxuan sounded in the carriage.

"Lord Wang, don't worry, as long as you return to the mansion, everything will not be a problem!"

On horseback, the butler looked at the Praetorian Guard guards on the city wall in the distance with a slight emptiveness, and then said.

"Let's go!"

With a wave of one hand, the butler straightened up, as if to embolden himself again.

Let's go!

The procession continued on until it approached the city gate, when a Praetorian Guard squad leader approached on a routine basis.

"Who's coming? Get off the horse and check!"

"This official, we are ......."

Seeing this, the butler hurriedly jumped off the horse and took out a heavy piece of silver from his bosom, which amounted to dozens of taels.

"Why did you stop? Butler, don't you leave quickly! Tell the guards guarding the city that King Xuan has arrived, and all official business will be relieved!"

However, at this moment, an extremely impatient voice came from the carriage behind.

"What? are you from King Pingxuan's team?"

The captain of the city guard was nothing, but as soon as this voice came out, his face instantly became extremely cold.

"Yes, we are from Xuanwangfu, and in the carriage behind is Xuanwangye, can you make it convenient, the benefits are absolutely indispensable, maybe Xuanwangfu can still take care of you......."

When the butler saw the guard's face change, his heart chuckled violently, and his attitude was extremely humble.
