I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

"It's almost there."

Daji handed the Dongxiao back and said, "You are not allowed to practice anymore, you know that!"

"Yeah, I see, thank you sister."

Yang Yuhuan took the flute pitifully, as if thinking of something, tears welled up in her eyes, and sobbed: "Actually, Yunu just wanted to make Xiangye happy..."

Daji:"......"

She was a little dazed.

This little girl usually barks her teeth and claws, she is very fierce, and she looks dissatisfied with everyone.

He was against her just now, why did he become so obedient all of a sudden?

a while.

Daji suddenly realized that it might be the master who came!

Subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him.

really!

Fang Xiu, who was wearing a gold-rimmed scarlet robe, stood there, looking at the two of them.

Seeing this scene, Daji suddenly felt a little wronged.

It was obviously the fault of that little hoof.

In the end, it seemed that he was bullying her.

So annoying!

at this time.

Yang Yuhuan seemed to have just seen Fang Xiu, her beautiful little face showed surprise, she stood up holding the flute, and said crisply: "Master Xiang, you are back."

Fang Xiu looked at Daji and Yang Yuhuan in front of him, with a faint smile on his face, and changed the subject:

"It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a while. If you two want to eat, tell me, so that I can give you an order in advance."

Daji knew that the master was giving her a step, so she opened her mouth and was about to speak.

Before he could speak, he heard Yang Yuhuan on the side say crisply:

"As long as you can be with Mr. Xiang, everything is delicious!"

"..."

Daji squinted at her, wishing to pinch her arm.

Sooner or later, he will be pissed off by this little hoof!

Daji looked at Fang Xiu, and said:

"Master, something has happened in Zhenbaozhai recently, and I want to report it to you."

Yang Yuhuan stood where he was, as if he didn't understand, with a confused look on his face.

Daji gritted her teeth, and said again: "This matter is very important, I can only tell you about it."

That's all there is to say.

If she stays any longer, it seems that she is not very sensible.

Anger rose in Yang Yuhuan's heart, but there was still a sweet smile on his face, and he said crisply: "Master Xiang wants to discuss business with sister, so Yu Nu will leave first..."

After finishing speaking, she gave Fang Xiu and Daji a standard female salute, turned around and returned to her own room.

As soon as he entered the house, he hid at the door, pressed his head against the window, and listened to the movement outside.

I didn't hear a sound for a long time, and I was immediately discouraged.

Angrily, she lay back on the bed, holding the flute, thinking about what Daji had said before.

Why... can't you practice the hole flute well?

I can do it!

............

the other side.

In the courtyard, Daji, like a successful little fox, smiled victoriously, approached Fang Xiu, and called out with a charming voice.

"Owner......"

Seeing her triumphant appearance, Fang Xiu felt a little funny, stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and said softly:

"It's been hard work for you during this time."

Hearing these gentle words, Daji felt her heart was about to melt.

Putting his head on Fang Xiu's chest, he said softly, "It's not hard for me to do things for my master..."

The two hugged each other for a while in the courtyard.

Daji just thought about the business, and said softly: "Master, Haitang has already found out the identities of those secret workers..."

Chapter 69 The Threat from Zhou Kingdom

"They're all from Zhou Guo's Dongjiu Factory."

Dongji Incident Factory is Zhou Guo's spy organization, directly commanded by Emperor Zhou, in charge of guards, arrests, and prisons.

Fang Xiu frowned slightly, and said coldly: "So, behind this matter is the Emperor Zhou who is manipulating it!"

Daji snuggled into his arms and replied, "Haitang also said so."

"Recently, she has been busy cleaning up the eyeliners buried in Chang'an by various countries, and she has no time to meet her master, so she asked her to tell her that Emperor Zhou has been hoarding soldiers and horses at the border, with evil intentions, and the master must be careful."

A year ago, Emperor Zhou brazenly launched a war, with the Huben Army as the vanguard, invading Daqian.

The imperial court was unable to deal with it, so it could only sign an agreement, pay 300 million taels of silver, and cede most of the land in Yongzhou. Even so, the Emperor Zhou did not agree, and finally compromised under the pressure of hundreds of officials.

The wolf's ambition is obvious!

Fang Xiu has always been clear.

He will not be satisfied with one state, and will invade one day.

However, according to the information provided by Haitang, Da Zhou is carrying out the New Deal, the scholar-bureaucrat class resisted fiercely, and there were many internal conflicts.

Even if Emperor Zhou wanted to start a war, it shouldn't be at this time...

"If the state of Zhou invades, it's really hard to deal with..."

Fang Xiu frowned slightly, and began to compare the strengths of the two countries.

Zhou Guo's military strength is strong, and there is no external aggression.

If Emperor Zhou is determined to launch a war, unless the flintlock guns and Franco cannons can be mass-produced in advance to equip the new army, Qianguo will not be able to stop it.

Limited by metallurgical technology and productivity, mass production in advance is not realistic.

If you want to resist Zhou Guo, you can only use the power of the system.

"It's really not possible, lock the little empress in Xiangguo's mansion, and I will fight in person, whipping every day."

"Use the obtained emotional value to exchange for the corps."

"The [-] Xuanjia Cavalry should be able to compete with the Tiger Army of the Great Zhou!"

This idea appeared in Fang Xiu's mind, but was quickly rejected by him.

Human mood swings have limits.

If the matter is really done, the empress will be more sad than heartbroken, and it will be difficult to obtain emotional points in the future.

It is not advisable to fish in a dry marsh.

A long flow of water is the right way.

Besides.

There is another reason.

The human heart is fleshy.

During this period of time, the little empress obviously had feelings for him other than a monarch and a minister.

Fang Xiu couldn't bear to let her face such a sudden change.

In case it breaks.

That tsundere little empress would never come back.

Fang Xiu thought so.

Suddenly, the butler's voice came from not far away.

"Master, there are people from the palace, saying that His Majesty wants to see you."

"understood."

After the butler bowed and took his leave.

Fang Xiu looked at the charming little face in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead.

"The truth has entered the palace first."

A blush appeared on Daji's fair face, she lowered her head and hummed softly.

After half an hour.

Fang Xiu, who was wearing a gold-rimmed scarlet robe, came in front of the little empress.

"Chen Fangxiu, see Your Majesty!"

on the dragon chair.

Wu Mingkong raised his eyes and took a look, handed the memorial in his hand to Lin Wan'er, and said, "Show it to Prime Minister Fang."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Holding the memorial, Lin Wan'er came to Fang Xiu and presented it with both hands.

Fang Xiu reached out to take the memorial, opened it, and browsed from top to bottom.

The memorial was submitted by the governor of Yongzhou, mainly talking about Zhou Guo suddenly hoarding a large amount of soldiers, horses, food and grass on the border of Yongzhou, asking His Majesty how to deal with it.

"What does Fang Xiang think about this matter?"

Wu Mingkong looked at Fang Xiu in front of him with beautiful eyes, his tone was flat.

Fang Xiu closed the memorial and said, "I think that since Emperor Zhou implemented the new policy last year, there have been constant internal conflicts in the state of Zhou. In a short period of time, Emperor Zhou has no reason or energy to start another war."

He made such a judgment based on common sense.

But Emperor Zhou has always been insane and doesn't act according to common sense.

Less than a year after ascending the throne, he tore up the covenant with the Qian Kingdom and invaded brazenly.

Baiguan appealed, signed an armistice agreement under pressure, turned around and pointed the finger at Baiguan.

In less than a year, new policies such as the Recruitment Law, the Baojia Law, and the Fangtian Average Tax Law were implemented successively.

Standing against the scholar-bureaucrat class.

Any emperor with a normal mind, even if he wanted to make some achievements, would not be so eager for quick success.

therefore.

Fang Xiu added: "However, Emperor Zhou is crazy and has never acted according to common sense. Even if I judge that he will not start a war for the time being, the Ministry of War should prepare in advance and deploy more troops in Yongzhou."

Although Zhechong Mansion's army doesn't have much combat power, it can still play a role if it is there.

Even tens of thousands of pigs can be used as a buffer on the road.

When the little empress heard Fang Xiu's analysis, she felt a little happy, and said, "I think so too."

"..."

Fang Xiu was speechless.

The little empress said again: "There is one more thing, the Drunken Flower Pavilion in the Zhou Kingdom presented a set of glazed cups for the recipe of monosodium glutamate and refined salt, but I did not agree.
