Wei Wuhou

Chapter 826

(Congratulations to everyone again, I wish you a happy new year!)
In July, the territory of Qi was raging. Although the Qi army resisted tenaciously, under the attack of the two northwestern armies of the Wei army, its defense line was still shrinking step by step.

This is also something that can't be helped. Qi State has retreated steadily in the previous wars, and the balance with Wei State has been completely broken.

At this time, Qi State was worse than Qin State at that time. Qin State lost the land of two counties and still had dangerous passes to defend.

So now that Wei Jun is chasing after him, Wei Wuji even has the idea of ​​​​destroying Qi in World War I.

The conquests of various countries are in full swing, not only the swords and swords between the big countries, but also those small countries will not be peaceful, and they all have their own wishful thinking.

In the entire Kyushu, the only person who can stay out of it is the emperor of Shangluo.

It's a nice way to say staying out of the matter, but the reality is that Zhou Tianzi was not only unable to appease Kyushu, but even lost control of Wang Ji's one-acre three-point land.

Now Wu and Chu are entrenched in Wangji, and they are constantly wrestling at the same time. The front line of the two sides is Shangluo.

Therefore, the current emperor, Ji Xiao, is more cautious than ever before. He is cautious about his words and deeds, for fear of bringing disaster to himself and the royal family.

This is by no means unfounded worry. In the whirlpool of wrestling between the two great powers, the small boat of the Zhou family could easily capsize.

Inside the palace, the emperor Ji Xiao hadn't closed his eyes all night. Sitting on the emperor's throne, he looked extremely tired, and his eyes were even bloodshot.

The servants next to him didn't dare to vent their anger. They all knew how to act to protect themselves. This was the basic skill they had learned in the palace for many years.

This edict was placed on Ji Xiao's royal case where the servants could not see it. It was issued by him yesterday morning, but it was returned the same day.

The content of this edict is very simple, that is, the melons, fruits and vegetables in the palace need to be replenished, and Ji Xiao ordered the cities around Shangluo to buy them and send them to the palace.

It was such an edict, which was sent to Shangluo but no one could accept it, and was finally brought back by the envoy who passed the edict.It is now in front of Ji Xiao.

In the past, the emperor's edict did not leave Wang Ji, but now the iron-clad facts show that the emperor's edict no longer leaves Shangluo.

Compared with this, the shortage of food in the palace seems unimportant.

"Chu people... are too useless!" Ji Xiao said sharply, frightening the servants in the hall to lower their heads a little more.

But what is the use of these?The cruel reality is still in front of us. The Zhou family is now facing a more serious crisis than Wei Wuji's riot in Shangluo.

As the Son of Heaven, Ji Xiao couldn't just watch the Zhou family go to ruin, so he decided what he should do.

After moving her stiff and limp limbs, Ji Xiao slowly stood up, while the servant next to her hurried forward to support her.

Surrounded by a large number of servants, Ji Xiao walked slowly outside the hall, and only heard him say as he walked: "Send someone to tell the general of the Chu army, and tell the royal family to purchase daily necessities, and ask them to assist!"

When Ji Xiao said such words, he was actually asking the Chu people to leave a way for the royal family to survive, so he also asked people to bring the same words to the Wu people.

As long as the two great powers are calmed down, the safety factor of the Zhou family will be much higher.

But it is dangerous to pin all your hopes on others, so Ji Xiao immediately said: "Go and send an order to Yuan Ping, let him come to see me immediately!"

After Xiao Bing was killed by Wei Wuji, Yuan Ping, the Taimiao Fengchang who came out to rescue Ji Xiao at the right time, was reused, and now he has become a brave general.

The main task of Yuan Ping's position is to lead Ji Xiao's imperial army.

This is the result of Ji Xiao's continuous innovation. Although the number of the imperial army is reduced to less than [-], it is Ji Xiao's most effective guard of honor today.

Once the Chu and Wu countries don't give face, he can rely on the three thousand forbidden troops to fall to Shangluo, and even if he dies, he will collapse a few teeth of the Chu and Wu countries.

Now that he had the will to die, Ji Xiao's anger and fear dissipated a little, at least he could feel hungry now.

After walking to the entrance of the main hall, Ji Xiao looked at the dark clouds covering the sky, and then said to the waiter behind him: "Go and get some meals!"

After arranging all these things at once, Ji Xiao did everything he could do, and all he could do now was wait.

Just when Ji Xiao stepped out of the threshold and wanted to move around the hall, he heard the sound of playing not far away.

This caused his mood that had just recovered to be clouded again, and then he saw an eight or nine-year-old child running out from the corner of the hall wall, followed by five or six servants.

"Come and catch me... come..." The child just turned his head and looked behind him, not knowing where he was.

"Presumptuous...you bastard..." Ji Xiao could not restrain his anger, and said sharply.

The Son of Heaven was furious, not only the servants beside Ji Xiao, but also those servants chasing the children panickedly knelt down on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

When the child heard this voice, he immediately knew it was his father. He was frightened and froze in place, and then cried out with a "wow".

Seeing his son so incompetent, Ji Xiao became even more angry, and then he questioned the servant who was following him: "Why is Ji Quan here?"

It stands to reason that the son should be studying in the study at this time.

The chief servant's face was pale, his whole body was trembling like a sieve, and he stammered and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the eldest son has been studying for a long time, so he came out of the study to relax..."

Ji Xiao didn't even need to listen to what was said later, she knew that the servants were helping to cover up.

He had just accepted the fact that the king ordered him not to go to Shangluo, and now even the servants in the palace dared to look at him sloppily, which made Ji Xiao's anger shift in one direction.

Ji Xiao said in a cold voice: "Ji Quan has never read at ease these days, do you think I am blind and deaf and don't you know?"

Ji Xiao knows better than anyone else the ineffectiveness of the eldest son.

But after hearing this, the servant who had just answered was in despair, only to hear him distinguish in a panic: "Your Majesty, I dare not have such intentions!"

Ji Xiao didn't listen to his explanation, but said directly: "Come here, take them all down, I don't want to see them again!"

Immediately, several guards stepped forward, captured the servants behind Ji Quan, and dragged them down amidst the howling of the servants.

Since the emperor said that he never wanted to see these people again, then these people had no choice but to die.Seeing this situation, the servants beside Ji Xiao couldn't help feeling sad.

At this time, Ji Quan, facing his furious father, also stopped crying, and knelt down in front of Ji Xiao with a small body.

Slaves can be killed at will, but sons cannot be punished at will.

Glancing at his son kneeling on the ground, Ji Xiao said, "I've heard that you don't mind studying, but is it true?"

Ji Quan, who was frightened by his father, dared not lie at this time, and replied honestly: "Report to father, my son is wrong!"

The speed of admitting mistakes is top-notch, but Ji Xiao will definitely not let him go easily.

But before the punishment, Ji Xiao still taught a lesson: "You are asked to study so that you can become a talent in the future. The foundation of the Great Zhou will eventually fall on your shoulders. If you don't have the ability, how can you rule the world?"

Originally, Ji Xiao still had a few words to say, but he stopped after saying the word "governing the world", and then he showed helplessness and a little self-deprecating.

Do I rule the world myself?Is this world still the world of Da Zhou?Ji Xiao asked himself, and then he lost interest in teaching his son a lesson.

Taking a look at his useless son, Ji Xiao seemed to see the crumbling Great Zhou Sheji, which was only a gust of wind away from blowing it down.

At this moment, a servant came to report: "Your Majesty, General Yuan Ping has arrived!"

When the business came, Ji Xiao didn't want to waste any more time, so he said to the eldest son on the ground, "Kneel here for half an hour!"

After saying this, Ji Xiao turned around and left. At the same time, a servant stayed behind to supervise, and Ji Quan was sure to suffer for half an hour.
