In the midwinter season, heavy snow falls, and the inside and outside of Luoyang City are dressed up in white clothes.

The defenders of the Lijing Gate in the west of the city still stick to their posts in such a severe cold season. Although their hands and feet are already frozen stiff, they still have to huddle in the door opening to check the flow of people entering and leaving the city.

The weather was so cold, and the outside of Luoyang City was covered with snow, and the snow was heavy. Most people had already retreated into the city, shutting their doors. Naturally, not many people entered or left the city gate.

But at this time, there was a rush of horseshoes on the official road outside the city.

The defenders looked out of the city one after another, and saw a cavalryman riding a fine horse galloping through the snow on the official road.

The defenders with better eyesight immediately recognized this cavalryman dressed as the Northwest Frontier Army, with a yellow flag tied around his waist and an iron cylinder on his back. There were traces of wax sealing on the iron cylinder. This is an urgent report from eight hundred miles.

Seeing the cavalry rushing towards the city gate with loud shouts, the soldiers subconsciously took a few steps back to get out of the way, not daring to stop them. The cavalry quickly passed through the Lijing Gate like a whirlwind, and continued to gallop in the city, scaring the people on both sides. Pedestrians gave way one after another.

After all, according to the laws of Daning, if you are injured and killed by a fast horse that is [-] miles away because you can't dodge in time, not only will you not get half a penny in compensation, but if the military situation is delayed, you and your family will also be held accountable .

Now that the end of the year is approaching, no one wants to suffer such unlucky things, but they can't help but mutter in their hearts, what is the emergency military situation, and it needs to be sent to the capital in eight hundred miles.

On the street, the cavalry shouted loudly to pedestrians to give way, while galloping through the slush on their horses, all the way to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

A few guards at the gate of the military department also heard the sound of horseshoes from afar, and looking up, one man and one horse had already rushed to the gate.

The cavalryman reined in the reins and pulled the fast horse. Immediately, one got off the horse, but the other couldn't stand steadily and almost fell to the ground. Several servants from the military department quickly stepped forward to support him.

The cavalrymen's faces were full of wind and frost, and they seemed to be exhausted, but they still exhausted their last bit of strength, panting and shouted to the guards: "Urgent report... urgent report... our army's great victory in the Western Regions..."

The guards did not dare to be negligent when they heard the words, they took off the iron cylinders behind the cavalrymen and headed towards the public house of Zhou Qing, Minister of the Ministry of War. After all, Zhou Qing, the Minister of the Ministry of War, personally explained to them that once there is military information from the Western Regions, no matter when and where, Be sure to tell him immediately.

Not long after, a carriage stopped outside the gate of the Ministry of War, and the Minister of the Ministry of War got into the car and galloped all the way towards the palace...

……

Changning Palace, Imperial Study Room.

"Okay! The King of Qin fought this battle really beautifully, let's show off the prestige of our country, Daning!"

After reading the victory report presented by Zhou Qing, Minister of the Ministry of War, Xiao Ji was so happy that he couldn't help standing up and applauding.

Seeing the emperor's agitation, Lian Yi, who was standing by the side, couldn't help but secretly looked down at the victory report on the imperial table, and saw that it said that King Xiao Huang of Qin led a surprise army to attack Di Hu with lightning speed. The envoy wiped out Dihu's tens of thousands of garrisons in the Western Regions, eradicated Dihu's influence in the Western Regions, and then led the army to conquer Shanshan, Khotan, Qiuci, Dawan and other countries that were interested in Dihu. , and the Dihu allied forces who came back after Cheshi was defeated, completely drove the forces of the Dihu people out of the Western Regions, and established Daning's rule over the Western Regions.The 36 countries in the Western Regions expressed their vassals one after another, and were willing to send their princes to Luoyang as hostages to show that they would never betray Daning.

Lian Yi also suddenly understood the reason why Xiao Ji was so excited. After all, he had always followed the example of Emperor Wu of Qin, and he wanted to break Dihu's control over the countries in the Western Regions, open up the Silk Road, rebuild the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and restore the Central Plains Dynasty's control over the Western Regions. The rule of the Western Regions reproduces the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty when it was at its peak.Now that King Qin has helped him achieve this wish, how can he not be excited, how can he not be excited.

Seeing the emperor's appearance, Zhou Qing knew that he had come to the right place. When Jing Xing was 18 years old, he was still the Minister of the Ministry of War. At that time, he could already see the emperor's obsession with the Western Regions.Because of this, when he learned that the emperor agreed to send troops to attack the Western Regions at the request of Wang Cheng, the governor of Liangzhou, he paid special attention to this matter. As soon as he received the good news from the Western Regions, he immediately sent it to the palace regardless of the severe cold. In the process, he just wanted to take advantage of the great victory in the Western Regions.

"Your Majesty, God bless me, Daning. Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings, and Daning is prosperous forever!"

Zhou Qing's words were a bit nasty, but Xiao Ji was in the mood, so he didn't care about it. He just laughed and corrected him: "This time the great victory in the Western Regions all depends on King Qin's strategizing and proper leadership. The three armies of Daning work together as one."

Zhou Qing repeatedly nodded in agreement, and did not forget to add: "This is also the reason for your majesty's wisdom. If it weren't for your majesty's teaching skills, discerning talents, and entrusting His Royal Highness King Qin with important tasks, how could there be today's great victory in the Western Regions."

Lian Yi's face twitched unconsciously, as if something important had been snatched away, and he couldn't help but secretly scold Zhou Qing as a gentle scum.

Xiao Ji did not dislike Zhou Qing's compliment, but just smiled and said: "Zhou Qing's family, you must send someone to verify the achievements of the soldiers in the expedition to the Western Regions one by one. You must not miss anyone, and you must not chill the hearts of the soldiers."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not dare to make any omissions."

Zhou Qing led the decree to retreat, but Xiao Ji still had some unfinished business, and told Lian Yi who was beside him, "Send someone to speak to the Ministry of Zhongshu, and draw up three decrees for me. In the mansion, Qin Wang Xiao Huang took the post of Anxi Metropolitan Guard, secondly, Qin Wang's mother Song Zhaoyi was promoted to noble concubine, and thirdly, Qin Wang's son Xiao Jing was canonized as Zhongshan King."

"Old slave obeys the order."

Lian Yi bowed his head to accept the order, but he felt in his heart that the king of Qin had made such a great contribution, fulfilling the emperor's long-cherished wish to recover the western regions and expand the territory.

Just as Lian Yi expected, the moment Xiao Ji issued the three imperial decrees, an uproar was instantly caused in the court.

Before the emperor Xiao Ji appointed Su Hong as Shangshu Zuo Pushe, and promoted and reused a large number of students from the Su family. Officials in the government and the opposition believed that the emperor was preparing for the formal appointment of Qi Wang Xiao Jie as the crown prince, and the battle for the heir apparent was settled.

Unexpectedly, only a few months later, because King Xiao Huang of Qin regained the Western Regions, the emperor suddenly rewarded King Xiao Huang of Qin wantonly, even Qin King's mother, concubine and newborn son were honored, and there was a vague trend of coming from behind.

This made the Chinese and military officials of the court confused for a while, wondering whether the emperor wanted to be the king of Qi or the king of Qin.

But what they can be sure of is that the crown prince of the Daning Dynasty should be born between King Qi and King Qin.

Now King Qin Xiao Huang has made great contributions to win the Sacred Heart, it depends on what King Qi will do.
