In this way, the lower official went back and began to arrange this matter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

There was a smile in Fiji's eyes, and this smile was a pride in the fact that his advice was taken seriously.

In the matter of the wealthy family, his suggestion was agreed by Xiao Ming, which must be a recognition of ability for Xiao Ming.

From Xiao Wenxuan to Xiao Ming's side, the people he served had changed, and he naturally wanted to prove his outstanding talent to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming nodded when he heard this, and he said: "The enthronement ceremony is just one month away, and this month is enough time for you to pass on the news of this king's enthronement to other vassal kings, and you can test their reactions while you ascend the throne." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Pang Yukun and Fiji nodded at the same time, they still had a lot of things to deal with before the enthronement ceremony.

After saying this, the two were about to leave, but at this time, Fiji suddenly remembered the matter of the King of Chu, and he said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness, there was a strange thing before the lower officials came to Qingzhou. ”

"Tell me about it." Xiao Ming has been in a good mood these two days.

"The fleet of the King of Chu once appeared outside Jinling City, and we also saw missionaries from the West on the ship." Fiji said.

"Western missionaries?" Xiao Ming showed an interested look, and he said: "Wang Xuan said that the King of Chu had contact with the French, and now it seems that this contact is not shallow. ”

"The army of the king of Chu has captured Guangzhou, and it is said that there are many Western merchants and missionaries living in Guangzhou, perhaps this is not the French." Fiji groaned.

"Wherever the missionaries are, it's not a good thing for us." Xiao Ming frowned, in Xiao Ming's opinion, the King of Chu's recognition of firearms was higher than that of other vassal kings.

Just as the late Qing Dynasty was taught a hard lesson by the Western powers, and the King of Chu was also taught a hard lesson by the Dutch, the King of Chu, who is now stimulated, does not know what will happen to his psychology.

In other words, the current King of Chu may be more willing to accept change, which is also his habit of dealing with the Dutch to maintain his health, and it is precisely because of this habit that it is estimated that he will establish contacts with the French at such a speed, instead of scolding the barbarians with the mentality of the Heavenly Empire.

Now that the north is undecided, and the feudal country has no time to look south, Fiji frowned and said: "Your Highness, this king thinks that this King Zhao is a threat, and now it seems that this King of Chu is not simple." ”

Xiao Ming looked to the south, his eyes were deep, he was not worried about how big a wave the King of Chu would be able to make.

Because now even if the French help the king of Chu, the state of Chu will not be able to catch up with the industrialization of Qingzhou, and the essence of war in the Age of Discovery is nothing more than a competition of industrial capacity.

And if the French were involved in the civil strife in the Great Yu Kingdom, he would have a reason to clean up the Kingdom of Annam at that time.

"The king of Southern Chu, the king of Northern Zhao, and the mother concubine said that his father has always been jealous of them, and now it seems that this is the case, but now the king of Chu will not rashly tear up the covenant even if he cooperates with the French, and he still has a lot of goods that he has not obtained, taking advantage of this time to unify the north as soon as possible." Xiao Ming said indifferently.

"As long as Your Highness follows Wei Di's decree to the Hao clan, once the army of King Yan and King Liang is defeated, the Hao clan of Yan and Liang will rush to show their loyalty to Your Highness." Fiji said confidently.

Xiao Ming nodded, Fiji's idea was tantamount to downgrading the difficulty of unification from high to low, of course, everything has to pay a price, so the problem of the Hao family is still left.

After talking about the situation in Weidi, Xiao Ming began to discuss the details of the enthronement ceremony with the two, and now a more prominent problem is that there is no palace in Qingzhou.

It was obviously too late to build the palace in a month, and the three of them discussed and decided to hold an enthronement ceremony in the Qingzhou Mansion.

Compared with the Qi Palace, the scale of the Qingzhou Mansion is very large, and it is divided into the front and rear halls, and the apse can be used as a temporary court.

In addition to the court that discussed politics, there were also cumbersome issues such as the arrangement of the concubines of the first emperor, and Xiao Ming was also at a loss for this, so he simply handed over the matter to Concubine Zhen.

These concubines may be a little dissatisfied with his arrangement by relying on their own seniority, but Concubine Zhen personally handles it, even if they have opinions, they have to endure it, after all, after he ascends the throne, Concubine Zhen will be the empress dowager.

After deciding on these details, the two left the palace.

Because Fiji is proficient in the process of enthronement ceremony, he will be responsible for the entire enthronement sequence during this month, while Pang Yukun can only be responsible for delivering the news of Xiao Ming's enthronement to other vassal kings.

……

Five days later, Jizhou.

King Yong fell silent after sending off the envoy from Qingzhou.

Seeing King Yong's appearance, Princess Yong asked puzzledly, "Your Highness, what happened?" ”

"Xiao Ming is ready to ascend the throne, and the imperial brother really gave him the edict." King Yong sighed slowly.

Princess Yong shook her head slightly, and she said: "During the Chang'an Rebellion, the concubine said that the emperor would definitely pass the throne to Xiao Ming, and now what prince in the world can turn the tide?"

"The princess has always been smart, and this time she guessed correctly, if it weren't for the princess's help over the years, she would have lost her life with the reckless nature of this king." King Yong looked at Princess Yong with friendship in his eyes.

Princess Yong showed a faint smile, everyone in the world knew that King Yong's personality was irritable, but they didn't know that King Yong was the only one who loved her.

"Then what is Your Highness going to do?" Princess Yong asked.

Thinking of this King Yong's face, there was a hint of horror, "The third emperor brother is dead, he is not Xiao Ming's opponent, how can I be Xiao Ming's opponent, and I promised the imperial brother, no matter who ascends the throne, I will be loyal to the royal family." ”

"Your Highness is very right." Princess Yong took King Yong's hand, "In this case, we may have to go to the throne this time to show our hearts." ”

King Yong nodded, "Now that Xiao Ming has the land of Wei, with the addition of this king's feudal state, he is equivalent to occupying half of the northern country, so it is much easier to settle the north." ”

"Your Highness is wrong, isn't King Kang's feudal kingdom also in Xiao Ming's hands? Now Xiao Ming has the power of the Four Kingdoms. Princess Yong smiled.

At the same time, the envoy from Qingzhou was driven out by the King of Yan from the city of Bozhou.

In the Yan King's Mansion, the Yan King jumped like thunder.

"Xiao Ming'er, do you really think that the world today is still the world of the Great Yu Kingdom? Do you think that your Xiao family will always have the final say? King Yan roared.

The officials and generals in the palace were silent one by one, and no one dared to touch their heads at this time.

After venting the anger in his heart, King Yan sneered: "Isn't he going to ascend the throne? This king will send him a surprise, the generals will listen to the order, you immediately gather the army, now Xiao Ming is clear that he is not going to spit out Wei Di, this king does not believe that he can stop the coalition army of my Yan State, Zhao State and Liang State. ”
