Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

When Ling Fu's battle report was delivered, it happened to be at the Xiaochao meeting.

Xiao Zirong glanced at it and handed it to Xiao Xuexing.

Xiao Yan and Chai He waited until Xiao Xuexing finished watching to find out what was going on. The expressions on their faces were not very good-looking, and one scolded: "Shameless!"

One scolded: "Desperate!"

Compared with the two of them, Xiao Zirong was very calm.

He even sighed and said: "It's not surprising that Yuan Ke's subordinates can do things to drive the people to be pioneers."

In fact, he had a hunch that the other party would do this sooner or later.

Massacres of civilians will be cast aside at any time, as for those who do such things... that is a question of values.

The royal family and most of the officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty are descendants of the Xianbei ethnic group. It is one thing to study Sinology, but it is another matter whether the three views are consistent.

In the final analysis, their study of Sinology is nothing more than two aspects. The first is that the Han people are indeed more advanced in various technologies, at least better than the nomads. If they want to occupy the Central Plains for a long time, they must study hard.

The second is that Confucianism is the ruler's sharp weapon. It is reasonable for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to depose a hundred schools of thought and only respect Confucianism. This point can be seen by any emperor with a little vision.

The Northern Wei Dynasty also had Mingjun, even the current Yuan Ke, although he is a little crazy, but the Northern Wei Dynasty is thriving in his hands, and he can be called a powerful emperor.

As for whether he is considered a Mingjun, Xiao Zirong felt that it was not good for him to define it, and it was not objective enough.

After all, in his eyes, the person who asked his subordinates to study the plague could not be regarded as a wise king.

But maybe other people's courtiers think this is very good.

Everyone looked at each other, seeing that their emperor was still emotional, and felt a little more at ease.

Those present are all old acquaintances, and they are very aware of Xiao Zirong's temper. If it is an accident, their majesty will definitely discuss urgently now to discuss a solution. How can the emperor next door be in a mood.

Chai He and Xiao Yan subconsciously looked at Xiao Xuexing, who could be regarded as the emperor's pillow, and he must have more information.

Xiao Xuexing shook his head after meeting their eyes, but he and Xiao Zirong were more casual on such occasions, so he turned his head and said, "Your Majesty is not in a hurry, I think the odds of victory are in hand."

Xiao Zirong said: "I thought Yuan Ke would do this before, but I have to wait."

Oh, everyone was relieved, and decided to be honest and wait for the dispersal of the dynasty.

Xiao Zirong didn't explain to them, instead he said when the court was about to leave: "The Regent stay here for a while."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other with a little ambiguity in their eyes.

If no one knew the relationship between the emperor and the regent before, there has been speculation since the regent began to stay in the palace upright.

You must know that the regent had never stayed in the palace before.

Of course, it can also be said that the regent and the emperor have a deep brotherhood, but think of Xiao Xuexing who spent so long looking for Xiao Zirong wholeheartedly, and then think about how special Xiao Zirong is to him——up to now, things like cream cakes It's just a special offering for the Prince Regent's birthday, and no one wants to eat it at other times.

However, some people have tried to restore the cream formula, but on the one hand, the taste of the restored cream is not the same as that of others, and on the other hand, even if they are made, they dare not reveal it publicly, unless they risk offending the regent and Jinling. The risk of the two princes and kings who hold real power.

Oh, and now it's time to risk offending the emperor and the regent.

It’s not cost-effective, it’s not cost-effective, why bother to invest in the future for the sake of ordering food.

In addition to the cream cake, which is now famous in the sky, the manor has only been opened every year on the regent's birthday to invite some people to enter.

Not everyone can enter, but everyone who has been there is full of praise, and even feels a little reluctant to leave.

At that time, everyone thought that King Jinling was too kind to the regent, but if it was said that these things were all given to his sweetheart, then it would be fine.

It's not that the ministers never thought of persuading the emperor, anyway, you have to marry a queen, right?Even if you put on a show?

Of course, if you marry a queen, you have to have a son. Otherwise, who will pass the throne to in the future?

In the end, what they didn't expect was that the emperor cut the mess with a sharp knife, and directly appointed his nephew Xiao Zhun as the prince, choking everyone back.

It is impossible to oppose it. Is it true that the Supreme Emperor and the former prince are now dead?If you dare to object, they dare to let you have no heads to object!

The only thing that can be persuaded now is not to let Emperor Wu have no heirs. However, at this time, the Northern Wei Dynasty suddenly invaded.

Since any matter is more important than the current matter, it is not good for everyone to mention it at this time.

Xiao Yan and Chai He sighed after they went out, Xiao Yan said: "Your Majesty doesn't even cover up now."

Chai He worried: "It's not good if it goes on like this."

The doctor Yushi at the side was optimistic: "You two don't have to worry so much. You are young and passionate, and your majesty is just looking for a momentary novelty. When...you are old and old, your majesty will naturally change his mind."

Xiao Yan raised his eyelids and looked at him: "You are old? Don't you know the age of the regent?"

Wouldn't this idiot really compare the Prince Regent with a first-class male favorite?

The most important thing is that now it seems that the status of the two people is different, but these two people were... but the King of Jinling was a head shorter.

Doctor Yushi's expression froze and he was silent, knowing that he had entered a misunderstanding.

Logically speaking, the age of the regent... is indeed not the first choice, heck, these upper-class people generally take all men and women, but even if they are looking for a man, they are looking for those who are not very young, preferably fourteen or five years old When it is fresh.

The regent... looks so good that even the imperial censor has to admit that there is no one in Jiankang who can match him.

But people don't go that way.

So the doctor Yushi also worried, and said in a low voice: "If the battle with the Northern Wei Dynasty can fix the Central Plains, I'm afraid no one will be able to persuade Your Majesty."

The majesty of the emperor depends on the means and time, and on the actual performance.

If there is no actual performance for a while and he has to wait until he gets older to drive away those old officials, he will naturally be an indisputable king.

But if you have made great achievements when you are young, then the right to speak will be different, and these veterans will not be able to overwhelm each other.

Chai He said in a deep voice: "Speak carefully, Your Majesty has nothing to lose!"

Doctor Yu Shi shut his mouth immediately, yes, compared to those foolish lords before, this one is much better.

Those two before, a grandson of Emperor Wu, and a Marquis of Donghun, both of them know nothing but lust, and they made stupid moves one after another.

And this one of them... can do everything except being lecherous, if he is allowed to choose... forget it, it's this one.

Alas, but these people are also former ministers of Emperor Wu, and the regent brought them back back then, so I really can't bear to see Emperor Wu die.

They were discussing outside, Xiao Zirong raised his head and blinked at Xiao Xuexing and said, "These people must be gossiping again."

Xiao Xuexing didn't say anything, he didn't seem to care about it.

He is more supportive of Xiao Zirong's move, which is almost an announcement to the world, but now is not the time to say this: "You asked me to stay, didn't you say that?"

Xiao Ziyu said: "Maybe you guessed wrong?"

Xiao Xuexing glanced outside: "Don't you dislike the daytime? If I say it, the daytime has a different flavor..."

"Hey, look at this." Xiao Zirong's chrysanthemum tightened, and he immediately lost his nerve.

He knew that Xiao Xuexing really dared to put him on the imperial case in broad daylight.

Although he had screened back to the left and right, and knew that no one would dare to approach the study room without his order during the day, he still felt awkward.

Especially the study room is now replaced with glass, it's okay to hang curtains at night, but hang curtains in broad daylight, isn't that telling people that the two of them are prostitution during the day?

Xiao Xuexing glanced at him with a smile: "I really don't want to?"

A smear of powder appeared on Xiao Zirong's face, spreading all the way down to the neckline. He glanced at Xiao Xuexing, nodded and said, "It's business."

Xiao Xuexing said slowly: "What I said is also a matter of business, His Majesty's needs are above everything else."

Xiao Zirong knew very well that the more shy he was, the more the old rascal Xiao Xuexing would go too far, so he couldn't help but groaned: "Shut up!"

Xiao Xuexing accepted him as soon as he saw a good deal and didn't tease him anymore, for fear of teasing him anxiously, he was afraid that he would be kicked out of bed.

He picked up the piece of paper that Xiao Zirong had just pushed over, and sat directly beside Xiao Zirong to look at it slowly. Fortunately, the throne was big enough to accommodate two people at all.

Xiao Zirong simply put his legs on his legs and asked while dangling: "Do you see anything?"

Xiao Xuexing put one hand around his waist and looked carefully for a while before saying, "This is... Feiyuan?"

"That's right, do you know what it's for?"

Xiao Zirong looked at it carefully: "This flying kite... seems to be a little different from ordinary flying kites. It looks very big. In the middle...do I need to put something? People or objects?"

Xiao Zirong leaned over to kiss him and said: "Smart, this kind of flying kite can carry people to the sky, but it is not easy to control, but it is definitely a big killer on the battlefield. Think about it, if it flies through the air, find the opponent Throw the gunpowder bamboo tube in the middle tent..."

After hearing this, Xiao Xuexing's eyes could not help but brighten up. If so, no matter what moves the Northern Wei Dynasty made, they would not be able to resist it.

But after all, he thought carefully, and immediately asked: "How high can this flying kite fly? How long can it last? How can the gunpowder bamboo tube be controlled to the ground before it explodes?"

Aerial strikes are good, but the opponent does not have eagle archers. Those eagle archers are all powerful, and the bows and arrows they use are extraordinary, and the arrows they shoot are naturally far enough. If the flying kite is not high enough, then there is no chance What's the use.

He also knows that the gunpowder bamboo tube needs to be ignited. If it is thrown from the air, what if the fuse of the gunpowder bamboo tube burns out in mid-air?Or what if the lead is blown out in mid-air?

This is the problem.

Xiao Zirong said triumphantly: "Of course I have already solved these small problems."
