Handan, Zhao Kingdom Palace.

Zhao He and his master father walked side by side, and the two lines of footprints extended out in the snow, and were instantly completely covered by the footsteps of a group of guards and palace servants behind him.

The road paved with bluestone slabs has been covered with snow. There are bare trunks everywhere on both sides of the road. Many branches are bent down by the snow, and they are a little overwhelmed.

Continue forward, several clusters of plum blossoms appear, and the red flowers appear very conspicuous between a vast white earth.

The Lord Father's footsteps stopped in front of the plum blossoms, his face slightly dark.

This is the favorite flower of Empress Dowager Wu Mengyao during his lifetime.

Zhao He stood quietly beside his father, looking at the plum blossoms in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while of silence, the Lord Father said, "Spring is coming soon."

Zhao He said: "Yes. Miao Xian just asked someone to send a message back from Xinzheng, saying that King Han had agreed."

The Lord's father raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "This is normal. Although Han Ju is good at power, he only knows how to control his ministers all day long. However, he forgets that the true responsibility of the king is to govern the country and safeguard the people. How can he accomplish something big! Such people often forget about the great power for small profits. If you put the battlefield in the direction of the huhan, then South Korea is the object of attention."

Zhao He nodded and said, "Yes. Please rest assured, my son will pay attention."

The master father said, "The widow has read a lot of information these days and has some understanding of the past. Yiyang has not done well."

Zhao He looked up, slightly surprised.

The master father looked at Zhao He and said lightly: "In terms of the result, this matter is naturally successful, and it is also beneficial to Zhao. But have you ever thought that if this matter fails and is discovered? In that case, I am afraid that the Qin, Han and Wei coalition forces of Qin and Han and Wei have already attacked the city of Handan when Le Yi was still confronting Qin Kai?"

Zhao He opened his mouth, thinking that this matter had been calculated beforehand, but he closed his mouth before he could speak.

Because what the master father said is really right. If this matter is exposed and Han and Wei learned that Zhao was secretly plotting against him, it would be really not surprising that he would turn against him and join Qin.

The master father glanced at Zhao He: "The widow's father understands your thoughts very well. You want to destroy the other six countries as soon as possible to unify the world, but this kind of thing is not something you can't hurry if you are anxious. The widow's father also knows that this plan was proposed by Lin Xiangru, but you must know that as the monarch, you should have a higher perspective than the ministers, and you should consider things more comprehensively than the ministers. Power can naturally be used, and it is also necessary to use it. However, governing a country is not just power, and making a country strong and developing, and it is not something that can be supported by power.

The same is true for diplomacy between countries. You can show sincerity and move it for profit. However, if you can use the technique of conspiracy and calculation, you can use it less, because not every calculation can be successful, and the consequences caused by failure are often even more legacy. The craftsman, Xiao Daoer, can be used but cannot be used. You must keep this in mind so that you will not fall into the misunderstanding of Shen Buhe's lineage and be bound by their things."

Zhao He let out a long sigh and lowered his head in convincingly: "I've been taught."

The master father looked at Zhao He and reached out to pat Zhao He on the shoulder: "You don't need to be stressed. You must know that at your age, the widow is far inferior to you. Young people always have to grow up slowly. The fact that I, Zhao, can have the foundation of today, is also due to the wisdom and strength inherited from generation to generation. When the widow's father was passed down by you, there was no doubt or worry in my heart, but now the widow's father knows that this decision is correct. Zhao will surely prosper because of you and create an unprecedented great cause. Just do it with confidence, and the widow's father will naturally handle the rest of the matters."

Zhao He nodded and was about to speak when suddenly a surprise voice came from beside him: "Big Father!"

Zhao He subconsciously turned his head and saw the queen gently put Xiao Zhao Qian on the ground. Xiao Zhao Qian, who was wrapped like a rice dumpling, ran towards his grandfather excitedly. After running two steps, he suddenly slipped and fell directly into the snow.

The originally very quiet garden quickly became lively.

As Zhao He looked, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

It seems that only one grandson is not enough for the master father.

Zhao He's eyes flashed over the queen's slightly raised belly, and then the next thought naturally emerged.

Well, two are not enough.

It seems that it is time to consider the affairs of Dona's ladies, and Fei Yi and the others often talk about this.

By the way, Fei Yi's granddaughter is said to be eighteen years old this year and looks pretty?

Oh, and Zhou Qi's youngest daughter. Judging from Miao Xian's report, she is a long-legged beauty, and her equestrian skills are quite exquisite...

By the way, in order to appease the people of Qi and Yan, we should probably consider a wife from the original Qi and Yan Dukes.

Wait, are there a little too many four of them now?

But other emperors are from the Three Palaces, Six Courtyards, and Seventy-Two Concubines. If I only have a few people, it seems that it is okay, right?

Zhao He stood quietly in the snow, letting his thoughts and snowflakes fly together.

In this way, the seventh winter when Zhao He came to this world passed.

When spring came, the road was smooth, and the contacts between Handan and Zhao State quickly recovered. Many delayed news also came back to the capital, making Zhao He very busy for a while.

In the past three months, there have been five rebellions in Qi, but all of them were suppressed within seven days. The largest rebellion did not exceed one hundred people, and the smallest rebellion was a homeless man in Gaomi County who was really cold and could not stand it. So he used a wooden stick to attack Gaomi County Government and claimed that he was Jiang Ziya's descendant to restore his orthodoxy, with the purpose of entering the prison to have a meal.

In return, Gaomi County Magistrate was very considerate and made him one of the coolies in the demolition of Qi Great Wall. The rebel vagabond got his meal as he wished, and even had a brand new set of linen clothes, at the cost of moving bricks every day at the South Great Wall of Qi.

As for the situation in Yan State, it is not so optimistic. In the past winter, there were hundreds of large and small rebellions in Yan State. The largest one even captured a county town at one time. However, because Le Yi's army was stationed in Wuyang and Lian Po was stationed in Jicheng, these rebellions were also extinguished in a very short time.

Judging from Qi's experience, similar chaos should last for several months, and then gradually subsided under the high-pressure policy of a man in Zhao's rebellion and implication of the whole family's family's early reporting of the crime.

In the north, the war between Liaodong and Liaoxi did not seem to have been completely pacified. It is said that there was the last Yan force in Xiangping City to resist. It is obvious that North Korea's last occupation of Xiangping brought a deep impression on the Xiangping people.

But considering the fact that Yan State has become cold, the fall of Xiangping should be a matter of time.

As for the nomadic peoples in the north, perhaps it was because there was no major snow disaster in the past two years, or perhaps it was because the Zhao State eliminated Lin Hu and Yan State was too shocking. In short, these nomadic people on the grassland were quite honest. Although there were some small-scale invasions, they were basically like dozens of one hundred cavalry based on tribes, which was completely in danger. They were sent by the local garrison alone.

What made Zhao He a little wary was that with the demise of Lin Hu, a tribal alliance called the Huns, which was not so conspicuous, seemed to have gradually become stronger.

Huns, what a familiar name.

However, the Huns are still far from being comparable to the Great Hun Empire in history that was powerful in northern China and forced Liu Bang to marry his daughter and marry him. The Huns have not even formed a country now.

If the Hun Empire in history was an adult, the Huns today were just a baby at best, and they were not worth mentioning in the face of the powerful strength of Zhao State.

According to information, after the Huns became climate, they did not go south immediately. Instead, they had a lot of conflicts and frictions with the Yuezhi, which occupied the Hexi Corridor, in the west. At present, the Yuezhi, which has a longer history, has gained the upper hand.

Overall, nothing big happens.

Looking up from the thick sea of ​​documents, Zhao He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Fei Yi in front of him: "Jun Gao Tang, after the spring plowing is over, we will start to recruit troops. By the way, all the young and strong men recruited the troops from the counties in Qi. They sent a letter to the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Chu, and asked them to cooperate with the Great Zhao to act together at that time."

Fei Yi said respectfully: "Yi."

After the war was suspended for a whole winter, it finally fell heavily again.

After the spring plowing ended, Zhao He assembled 170,000 Zhao troops and began to march westward in a mighty manner.

The State of Wei sent 70,000 troops led by Mangmao, while Han led 80,000 troops with Baoyuan, and the Three Jin coalition forces totaled 300,000 troops and horses, directly reaching the city of Yiyang, which had already been back and forth from Qin and Han.

The King of Chu sent Zhaoju, the Shangzhu Kingdom, as the main general, and led 100,000 troops to attack Nanyang County, Qin State again, directing to Wancheng, the county seat of Nanyang County.

This is not all the troops. In the north, Zhao State's general Lian Po and Zhao She led a cavalry of 40,000 people to head south from Beidi County towards the Yiqu of Qin State.

This is not the first time that the Qin State was targeted in history. The first time that the six kingdoms led by Gongsun Yan ended in failure. The second time that the Qi, Han and Wei State alliance led by Mengchang monarch won the victory. This time, the crisis faced by Qin State was even more than before, which is unprecedented.
