In the side hall, the mother and son stand opposite each other. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Concubine Zhen pulled Xiao Ming to sit down, and she said: "You are a lot more sensible than before, so the mother concubine will be at ease, you will be the emperor soon, from now on, you have to consider the overall situation of the world, not for the selfishness of one person, after all, what you hold in your hands is the people of the world." ”

After a pause, she continued: "Now that the Great Yu Kingdom is in turmoil and in danger, the people of Chang'an City know that the Great Yu Kingdom Mansion is about to fall, and now your father has thrown this mess to you, which really makes you wronged, but don't blame your father, it is rare for him to be able to maintain the chaos in the world over the years, but in the end he is wrong King Zhao after all." ”

Xiao Ming nodded, Concubine Zhen's words were not alarmist, even if he destroyed the Yan Kingdom, the Liang Kingdom and the Zhao Kingdom, most of the entire north would be rotten at that time, and it would take a long time to recover from recuperation, and he would consume a lot of financial resources to maintain the stability of the north.

But even so, war is inevitable.

He said: "If it is not broken or established, the child may be able to make the Great Yu Kingdom change the sky." ”

Concubine Zhen had a smile in her eyes, she originally just wanted Xiao Ming to spend his life in peace and stability in the fiefdom, but now he has completely embarked on another path.

However, no matter where Xiao Ming goes, she will still support Xiao Ming as before.

After examining Xiao Ming for a while, she said: "In this case, after you ascend the throne, the mother concubine will arrange the matter of the concubine for you, but there is one more thing that the mother concubine has to tell you, where will Cui Xue'er live after she comes?" ”

Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, he understood that Concubine Zhen was talking about the palace, this palace was too small and too crowded to accommodate too many people.

After hesitating for a moment, he said: "There is no way before ascending the throne, but the child has decided to build the palace, and there is an idle folk square in the south of Qingzhou City, and the child is going to build it there." ”

"In this way, the mother concubine will be relieved, this imperial city is not only a place for the emperor to rest, but also a place for the ministers to work, and it is not child's play." Concubine Zhen reminded.

Xiao Ming nodded, now the Qingzhou Mansion is indeed a little crowded, and many institutions are mixed together, after all, many departments have been added after the political reform, and these departments need separate offices.

Therefore, after considering all the circumstances, he decided to build the imperial city, which was also a renovation of Qingzhou City, for whom the traditional folk square model could no longer meet the needs of industrial development.

It is now necessary to break away from the traditional settlements and create an urban structure suitable for industrial development.

Moreover, the transformation of the city can also stimulate the development of Qingzhou's commerce, which is killing three birds with one stone for him.

Briefly talking about this matter, he left from Concubine Zhen, and he needed to inform the construction camp about this matter, and at the same time, he also had to give the construction camp a plan map of the imperial city.

For him, the construction of the imperial city needs to take into account the power problem, after all, if Qingzhou builds a power plant in the future, he doesn't want the imperial city to be messed up again, so it is better to reserve this part in advance.

In the afternoon, Concubine Zhen officially sent a pardon to Princess Huainan, which naturally said that it was Cui Xueer's matter, and with this pardon, it could be regarded as an official decision on the matter of accepting a concubine.

On the same day, Xiao Ming got the King of Yong and the King of Huainan at the same time, although his mood was a little complicated, but he was finally relieved, because with the help of the two vassal kings, he would be more relaxed, and his heart was a little calm, Xiao Ming once again devoted himself to the preparations for the enthronement ceremony, and now the time for him to ascend the throne is running out.

The only thing he was worried about now was the battle in Yunzhou City, because it would determine the situation in the north in the future.

……

Yunzhou City.

With the influx of the Southern Expeditionary Army and the Dengzhou Army, this small city can be seen everywhere with rows of soldiers, and the people in the city also have a premonition that a big battle is coming, because they have never seen so many soldiers stationed in Yunzhou City.

Even in the Battle of Jizhou two years ago, there were only 350,000 soldiers in this city.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Yunzhou camp was solemn, and Niu Ben arrived here two days ago with the general seal of the general of Zhengxi, and as soon as the main general arrived, it also meant that the war was not far away.

"Now there are three days left before His Highness's enthronement day, if His Highness's enthronement ceremony is lost because of the war in Yunzhou City, none of you can afford it, but if you can win a big victory this time, you will definitely be rewarded for your merits after you go back." Niu Ben said loudly.

Lu Fei, Luo Xin, Luo Hong, Qi Guangyi, Bai Mu and other generals were all in the camp, their eyes making contact, with fanaticism in their eyes.

After the enthronement ceremony, Xiao Ming will officially become the emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom, and the conquest of other vassal kings is tantamount to crusade against rebellion, and after ascending the throne, it will inevitably be the promotion of hundreds of officials and generals.

As the earliest generals who followed Xiao Ming, they were naturally the main force of this promotion, but before that, they had to ensure that the enthronement ceremony could go smoothly.

After all, King Yan, King Liang and King Zhao did not want Xiao Ming to ascend the throne, especially King Zhao, once Xiao Ming ascended the throne, it would mean that he would lose the advantage of holding the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand people, these three vassal kings seem to have the intention of destroying our Qi land." Luo Hong also looked at the sand table with a solemn expression, he had never experienced such a large-scale war.

The scouts who went to reconnoiter came back and reported that the army of the three kings was obscuring the sky and the sun, in addition to the soldiers who were directly involved in the battle, there were also people who transported food like long dragons.

Now the vanguard of the Three Kings Alliance has arrived at the city of Yunzhou and set up camp, but the follow-up troops are still coming.

Among them, the 40,000 cavalry of King Zhao also tried to bypass Yunzhou City and go deep into the hinterland to kill, burn and rob, but they had to give up this plan under the siege and interception of the cavalry led by Bai Mu.

Because they find that no matter where they go, they will always be discovered first, and then they will venture deeper and there will be no return.

"We are not afraid of another 350,000, when the time comes, we will pull out all the field artillery and directly beat them into mud." Lu Fei roared angrily.

Luo Xin raised his eyebrows, this time most of the field artillery has been gathered in his hands, he is gearing up to do a big job, this time Qingzhou's ammunition reserves are ninety percent here.

Niu Ben frowned, and he said: "Your Highness said to the general before leaving, you will do your best to exterminate the coalition army of the Three Kings, so this time you don't need to show mercy to your subordinates, you have to fight hard, and this time there are six thousand rifled flintlock pistols in line, but because of the smokeless gunpowder that His Highness said, because the production is very slow, black powder must be used for the time being, but even so it is enough to defeat King Yan's musketeers." ”
