Become a feudal king from today

"Ah sneeze!"

In the study room of the palace, Zhao Xu rubbed his nose.

The lines of the chariot being drawn become distorted due to shaking.

Subconsciously looking to the north, Zhao Xu laughed at himself: "It seems that someone is thinking about me."

Shaking his head, he continued to complete the pattern in his hand.

After returning from Beida Camp, he started on this matter.

Despite the chaos in the northwest, Zhao Heng temporarily went on the defensive.

But he knew clearly that when his cheap father gave him such a large military supply bill, he definitely didn't buy back artillery and matchlock guns as a guard of honor.

Will definitely try to take back Qinzhou and Yongzhou.

His overachieving temperament would never tolerate Qinzhou and Yongzhou, the two traditional territories belonging to Dasong, being assigned to Xiliang during his reign.

And because of Ma Jin's rebellion, Zhao Hengheng could not trust the Dou family and the Xiao family.

Therefore, it is more necessary to recapture Qinzhou and Yongzhou.

Furthermore, the Ma family was weakened by this incident.

If the imperial court can get back Qinzhou and Yongzhou.

These two areas will undoubtedly become areas controlled by the royal family.

"Zhao Heng can think of it, and Beidi can also think of it." Zhao Xu murmured to himself.

Neither Xiliang nor Beidi will sit back and watch Dasong take back these two states.

After all, Qinzhou and Yongzhou are the springboards for the invasion of Dasong, and they are also the easiest springboards to break through.

If it weren't for the hot weather that was not conducive to the march of the war horses and the fact that he seemed to be waiting for the cannon to be cast, I'm afraid Beidi would have been unable to hold himself back.

However, Beidi is currently making frequent moves, and it is obvious that he cannot hold back and wants to start a war again.

From now on, he must prepare for the possible war that will follow.

Of course, what he looks forward to most is that the court will resolve this matter on its own without him having to end.

The next day.

He handed the drawings to Wang Ying and ordered him to supervise the construction of two thousand vehicles.

It is equivalent to each soldier in the vehicle battalion being responsible for one combat vehicle.

As for how to make it, he left it all to Wang Ying.

This kind of non-technical thing does not require his participation.

The days that followed seemed to be relaxing.

The people promised by Ma Han crossed from Sizhou to Jinzhou, then arrived at Feihu Pass and came to Yanjun.

Liu Fu's infrastructure plan was reviewed and approved.

He immediately ordered Liu Fu to distribute work to these people through work-for-relief methods.

Or pave roads, dig ditches, or build bridges, etc.

…

Jinling.

After Zhao Xu's memorial arrived, he was sent to the summer resort on Jinshan Mountain outside the city.

At this moment, in a clear pond in the mountains, Zhao Heng was playing in the water with Xiao Shishi.

The clear pool is surrounded by brocade cloth, and the young eunuchs stand outside the brocade cloth, with their backs to the pool.

"Your Majesty, when can this servant go to the palace for a walk and relax?" Xiao Shishi lay on Zhao Heng's chest, the little bird clinging to him.

The expression on Zhao Heng's face suddenly felt awkward.

Folks say that a wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a thief.

Accustomed to the romantic world, he is naturally a veteran.

Although he loved Xiao Shishi, the oiran of the capital, he never intended to let her enter the palace.

At first, the ministers would object, saying that it was an insult to the royal family.

Secondly, the queen and other concubines would also make trouble with him.

Of course, the most important thing is that it undoubtedly takes away the fun of "stealing".

"Don't be anxious. I'll talk to the Queen after a while." Zhao Heng became careless again.

Xiao Shishi glanced at her mouth, she was just acting coquettishly, and naturally she knew that she had no chance of being in the palace.

"Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Yan handed over the book." At this time, Liang Cheng's voice sounded from behind the brocade cloth that was as tall as a person.

"read."

If it was someone else who broke the bank, he wouldn't bother to pay attention.

But he had to listen to King Yan's advice.

After all, every time King Yan went to Zhezi, something big must have happened.

"Your Majesty, the King of Yan, Zhao Xu, is memorializing: Beidi has recently crossed Yanshan Mountain to attack Yan County, and the wolf's ambition has been fully realized..." Liang Cheng unfolded the memorial and read it one by one.

Zhao Heng's face in the pool gradually became embarrassed, and when Liang Cheng finished reciting, he slapped his palm on the water surface.

"Beidi really won't stop for a moment. It seems that if he doesn't destroy me, he won't give up." Zhao Heng said angrily.

Xiao Shishi's face turned pale, "Your Majesty, are the Beidi people going to attack us again? I heard that in the battle of Ningjin Dusi, Beidi had insufficient food and grass, so they killed Dasong people for cooking, and they liked to eat beautiful women the most. If they come Go to Jinling, slave..."

This news made Zhao Heng feel a little guilty, but when he saw Xiao Shishi's beautiful face turned pale, he immediately patted the beauty's back and comforted her: "King Yan is good at fighting, and he will definitely be able to stop Beidi from going south. The beauty only needs to serve me with peace of mind."

Xiao Shishi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and lay on Zhao Heng's chest again.

"Your Majesty, His Highness also sent some gifts, saying they are new goods." Liang Cheng added at this time.

Zhao Heng immediately put aside the annoying things about Beidi and looked expectantly, "What is it?"

"It is said to be used for bathing. It is called soap."

Xiao Shishi's face was filled with joy. King Yan's goods were famous in the capital, and everyone from the royal family to the common people flocked to them.

If you can get the new goods first-hand, there will undoubtedly be a lot more conversation topics between tea and dinner.

What's more, she comes from Fireworks Alley and likes to compare with these luxurious things.

So she held Zhao Heng's arm and shook it, "Your Majesty, I want to see you."

Hearing that this thing was useful for bathing, Zhao Heng also became interested.

Now he was taking a bath, so he could give it a try.

Ling Liang Cheng handed it over and listened to the instructions on how to use the soap that came with it. He and Xiao Shishi continued to play for a while.

Finally, apply soap all over your body and wash yourself with water.

"Your Majesty, this soap is really refreshing." Xiao Shishi played with the slippery soap in her hand, "It seems that I won't need that black soap anymore in the future."

"This King Yan has a lot of clever ideas." Zhao Heng nodded.

As they talked, the two arrived at the pavilion in the mountains and sat down on the stone table to drink.

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhao Heng thought about Beidi again and felt a little unhappy.

The trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. Xiliang and Beidi are now in conflict.

The situation facing the Dasong frontier is unprecedentedly bad.

This is also the reason why he bought firearms from King Yan.

He wanted to revive the Forbidden Army and personally take back Qinzhou and Yongzhou.

Although he now relies heavily on King Yan, from the bottom of his heart he does not want to give King Yan another chance to make meritorious deeds, so during this period of time, he has been forcing the powerful clans to send troops.

This was not out of balance between King Yan and powerful clans, but out of an emperor's self-esteem.

Of course, there was another reason. He wanted to give the prince a chance to make military achievements.

The third prince asked for orders to go to Wuguan a few days ago.

He naturally knew what Dou Wei was planning.

Once the third prince achieved military success, they would have more reasons for him to make him the crown prince.

Among the princes, he had never changed his intention on who to appoint as the crown prince, and naturally he would not give Zhao Mu this opportunity.

It's not that he hates Zhao Mu, but he is a little wary of Dou Wei's ambition in his heart.

While he was thinking, Xiao Shishi took his wine glass and poured him a glass of wine.

Seeing that Zhao Heng was lost in thought, she touched the tip of her right index finger inside her belt and accidentally touched the wine glass.

Then he smiled like a flower and pushed the wine glass to Zhao Heng.
