With the sound of the pendulum clock striking, Xiao Ming woke up from his sleep. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

I got up and looked at the time, it was seven o'clock in the morning, and now with the pendulum clock, the way Qingzhou recorded the time has also changed, compared to the previous rough record, now the pendulum clock provides data accurate to the second.

Yesterday, he was excited for a long time because of the news of Fei Yue'er's pregnancy, and he chatted with Fei Yue'er until midnight before the two of them fell asleep.

"Your Highness has been running around for days, and you are tired, so you don't sleep for a while." Fei Yue'er was lying on the bed, her voice was a little lazy, after pregnancy, Fei Yue'er's whole person became lazy, Xiao Ming was not surprised by this, this is the characteristic of pregnancy, after all, it is from modern times, and his science and technology spar also has this information.

In his previous life, Xiao Ming was alone and helpless, but now that he has come to this world to marry a wife and have children, he has gradually forgotten the past, and feels that he is becoming more and more integrated into this world, especially the moment he learned that he became a father, he suddenly rose in his heart with a sense of responsibility, and he had to be more careful for the sake of his family.

After all, the result of defeat in the royal power is only one, and that side is to be cut down by other vassal kings.

"You sleep, this king still has to deal with the envoys of King Zhao, King Yan and King Liang." Xiao Ming smiled faintly.

Fei Yue'er seemed to blame herself a little, she said: "It's really not the right time for the concubine to be pregnant, but it was chosen at this time when wars are frequent, isn't this adding chaos to His Highness?" ”

Xiao Ming got out of bed and said on the boat: "The princess is wrong, this government affairs is the king's business, you just need to give birth with peace of mind, and the king will not let you be in danger." ”

Fei Yue'er nodded, probably because she was too sleepy, she fell asleep again when Xiao Ming wanted to say something.

Shaking his head, he got dressed and went out of the dormitory, drank porridge briefly, and after eating five buns, he went to the palace.

When I arrived at the government, the clock in the government was stopped at eight o'clock, and at this time, the officials in the government were all handling their own government affairs.

Pang Yukun saw Xiao Ming and said: "Your Highness, the three of them were sent by the lower officials yesterday, and the lower officials did not tell them that His Royal Highness had returned, but from the looks of the three of them, they seemed to know the news of His Highness's return, and I am afraid that I will not be able to continue to fool them today." ”

"Therefore, this king is ready to go out today to talk to them in person, and by the way, find out their bottom." Xiao Ming said that for him, the degree of similarity in history is very high, at present, whether it is the defeat of the Six Kingdoms in Qin, it is in a discord, each country has its own ideas, as the so-called many people must be chaotic.

This time, King Yan, King Liang and King Zhao must also have different thoughts, if they can be broken one by one, it will be the most perfect result, but he also understands that there is not much room for maneuver between himself and the king of the vassal with different surnames.

As soon as the two finished speaking, the messenger entered the palace and reported that Wang Xi and the three were waiting outside the door.

Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun glanced at each other, and the two of them went out of the mansion together.

"Your Highness."

Seeing Xiao Ming, the three of them saluted together.

Cui Zhang squinted at Pang Yukun at this time, and said dissatisfiedly: "Pang Shoufu, didn't you say that His Highness is not in Qingzhou?" Now how do you explain it? ”

"Yes, if we hadn't met, I don't know when we would have been able to meet His Highness." Zheng Hao also said.

Wang Xi glanced at the two of them and did not speak, he had served as Empress Zhao for many years, and he knew the word of proportion very well.

The words of the two seemed to be aimed at Pang Yukun, but they were actually expressing dissatisfaction with Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming could naturally hear it, and he said pretendedly: "The two envoys have misunderstood, this king has not yet informed Pang Shoufu when he enters the city, how can he know?" But what did the three of them come to Qingzhou for? ”

While speaking, Xiao Ming let the three of them enter the mansion, and at this time, Zhan Xingchang also rushed over, and the six people sat together again in the room where the truce contract had been signed.

"Your Highness, this is the truce contract signed at the beginning, I don't know if Your Highness still remembers?" Cui Zhang took out the truce contract.

At this time, Wang Xi and Zheng Hao also took out the contract and put it on the table.

Xiao Ming didn't look at this truce contract, but said; "This king naturally remembers this matter, but what is the matter with King Zhao, King Yan, and King Liang? The king of Wei is rebellious, this king is just cleaning up the royal scum, this is the king's family matter. ”

Cui Zhang and the three of them immediately opened their mouths when they heard this, and they didn't know how to refute it for a while, Wang Xi reacted first, he said: "Your Highness, it's not that we have many things, this is that the King of Wei personally sent a messenger to invite us to come to discuss this matter. ”

"Hmph, at the beginning, you coerced the king on the grounds of sending troops, and forced the king to sign this truce contract, the first to be the bully was you, the king attacked the king of Wei, you said irresponsible things, then the king of Zhao attacked Shudi, the king of Yan took my royal Yingzhou, Songzhou, the king of Liang took my royal Jinzhou, how to explain Suzhou!" Xiao Ming retorted.

If it was a passive response before, now Xiao Ming has enough ability to take the initiative to deal with it, so he doesn't plan to continue talking with them at all, and now everyone understands the situation in Dayu Kingdom.

Cui Zhang and Zheng Hao glanced at each other, their eyes flickered a little, after the Chang'an Rebellion, the two families sent troops to capture several states and counties that once belonged to the royal family, plus King Zhao, the three of them divided all the land that once belonged to the royal family in the north.

Xiao Ming didn't mention it last time, they thought that Xiao Ming had acquiesced to this fact, but they didn't expect that now Xiao Ming suddenly brought up the matter.

"Hmph, these lands belong to the borderlands, how can we not take them!" Cui Zhang said like a scoundrel, he was at a loss for words in this matter, after all, if they still recognized the royal family, their behavior was to rebel.

Zheng Hao echoed: "That's right, the first emperor is dead, the thirteen princes are just the puppets of King Zhao, without the edict of the first emperor, we will not recognize a baby as the emperor, because of this, the purpose of our capture of these cities is also to temporarily keep these places for the royal family, so as not to fall into the hands of outsiders." ”

Wang Xi was furious when he heard this, these two people were simply nakedly scolding King Zhao for being rebellious, he said: "The crown prince killed the king, King Zhao entered Chang'an to help the royal family, and the thirteenth prince is the concubine of Queen Zhao, who else can this throne belong to if it is not his?" His Royal Highness King Qi is right, you two are the wolf ambitions. ”

Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, he just provoked a random sentence, and the three of them quarreled, and he suddenly understood in his heart, it seems that the contradiction between these three families is not small.

At that time, even if the three families send troops together, I am afraid that it will be a picture of watching another death, thinking of this, he is more and more relieved, but although there are contradictions, he believes that the three families can still form an alliance, after all, the common interest of the vassal kings with different surnames is to eliminate the royal family.

In this way, they will no longer have any restraints and can become emperors on their own, but Xiao Ming will not let them form a coalition army so simply, and the three of them are not the only ones in the Great Yu Kingdom who know how to conspire and trick.
