System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

Many fish's combat plans have not been reported to Xianyang. Firstly, they need to keep it confidential, and secondly, they are afraid that Zichu will not agree.

In the eyes of many fish, King Qin Zhaoxiang was a heroic figure with a domineering temperament. He loved a person to death and hated him to death. Because of the dictatorship of the Queen Mother, he was very taboo about the harem intervening in politics. King Qin Xiaowen had a gentle personality and treated his old ministers well.

As for Zi Chu, he was just a glutinous rice ball filled with black sesame seeds, which was difficult to deal with.

Zichu, who is regarded by many fish as a sinister king, is extremely busy. Because the image he created in the past was too elegant and a gentleman, he was not very majestic in the court.

After settling the affairs of King Qin Xiaowen, the monarch and his ministers had a great time fighting each other.

There is a turbulent undercurrent in the front court, and the harem is not peaceful either.

When Mrs. Huayang was promoted to Queen Mother, she went to Zi Chu and said, "Your Majesty, I am in pain during this period, but remembering the late king's earnest advice, I can only live in this world."

Zichu felt his head was buzzing and hurting. What did the late king say? He told himself to be filial to Mrs. Huayang.

Zi Chu squeezed out a smile and said warmly: "Mother, it is my father's wish that you be safe, happy, and healthy. Please relax, and if you have any troubles, you can go to your son."

Mrs. Huayang wiped her tears and patted the hand of the girl beside her: "Excuse me, Your Majesty. I am in a much better mood now that Mi is with me."

Zi Chu heard the sound of the string and knew its elegant meaning: "A person who can make his mother happy is one who has achieved great merit. Mi, what reward do you want?"

Mi turned her head shyly, like a delicate peony flower about to bloom, with crystal clear morning dew hanging on the petals, teetering on the edge, making people tremble at the sight.

Mrs. Huayang hugged the shy Mi lovingly and said in a slightly complaining tone: "Your Majesty, if you ask such a direct question, how will a cute girl respond? Not every girl is like a lot of fish."

Zi Chu frowned slightly and asked cooperatively, "The queen is right."

Only then did Mrs. Huayang tell her the reason for her visit with satisfaction: "Mi's heart is blue, her appearance is natural, and she has been familiar with poetry since she was a child. There are many girls in the family, but she only cares about one person."

Zi Chu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his relatives thought that Chu's daughter was unworthy of their hearts and wanted to send another woman to the palace to win the queen's position?
  But this girl is only twelve or thirteen years old, which is too young, and her body is indeed weak.

Zi Chu secretly sighed in his heart, if they had to send her in, he would just leave her aside and feed her well.

"She is concerned about the government of the young master and hopes that the king will fulfill her wish." Mrs. Huayang said confidently.

Gongzizheng? It turns out that I don’t want to be my wife, but my daughter-in-law!

Zi Chu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to agree, but was cut off by Xia Ji who hurriedly arrived.

Xia Ji panted and said, "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to discuss marriage during mourning."

Mrs. Huayang narrowed her eyes. When the late king was alive, Xia Ji was so suppressed by her that she could not lift her head up. Her presence was weaker than that of a maid. As soon as Zi Chu ascended the throne, she dared to jump out and go against her!

Mrs. Huayang smiled softly and said: "Let's discuss it verbally first, and then we can get married after the mourning period."

Xia Ji choked up and said wittily: "Ms. Mi is a meritorious person, and I certainly hope that she will go as she wishes. However, regarding marriage, the Queen Mother and the late King should be like each other, and they should be in love with each other. Only in this way can there be harmony. Mr. Zheng is stubborn, why don't we Call him over and ask for his opinion?"

Everyone present knew that calling Gong Zizheng over would only lead to one outcome, that is, not marrying!
  You know, the relationship between Gong Zizheng and many childhood sweethearts is not a joke. Gong Zizheng doesn't even have a personal maid!

"No need! It's enough for the king to make the decision about marriage! As a biological mother, I have no objection to this." There was no secret in the palace, so Zhao Ji quickly came over after smelling the smell.

Xia Ji stared at Zhao Ji in disbelief. She actually refused to accept her advances and took the initiative to seek refuge with Mrs. Huayang? !
  Zhao Ji stared back confidently. She wanted her son to be the crown prince, but she was not stupid. Chu State has great power in the harem, and Chengjiao's biological mother is from Chu. As long as Zheng'er marries a Chu daughter, Chu State's power will not be biased towards any party.

Isn't this better than following a Xia Ji who has no power and no respect from the king?
  Zichu was almost annoyed to death by these women. One was the queen mother, one was his biological mother, one was his own woman, and there was a beautiful girl who looked at him pitifully.

On the surface, it is about Zheng's marriage, but in fact it is the infiltration of Chu State's influence and the competition for the reserve position.

When everyone was in a stalemate, Gongzi Zheng asked for an audience.

When Gong Zizheng came in, no one else smiled except Xia Ji who looked happy.

"Greetings to your father, to your queen mother, to your mother..." Gong Zizheng saluted respectfully.

Mrs. Huayang was the first to speak: "You came just in time. We are discussing your marriage. What do you think of Mijin?"

Young Master Zheng frowned, how could he call a woman by her first name in front of outsiders? This is very disrespectful behavior.

Young Master Zheng said firmly: "During the mourning period for the late king, I will not consider marriage."

Zhao Ji was anxious. The son was stunned by the many fish and could not distinguish the seriousness.

Zhao Ji angrily scolded: "You protect yourself like jade for many fishes. Many fishes are far away in Bashu. How can you be short of handsome men by your side?"

"Be careful!" Gong Zizheng and Zi Chu shouted in unison.

Gong Zizheng looked at Zhao Ji with very cold eyes. Did she really think that the affairs between her and Lu Buwei were airtight?

It was enough that they had a relationship while they were in Zhao State. After Zhao Ji returned to Qin, they often met privately. If he hadn't helped them clean up, they would have been caught and raped in bed by Zi Chu!

"Duoyu is a lieutenant of Bashu County and a minister of the court. Zhao Ji, you can't speak ill of her! Next time..." Zichu looked at Zhao Ji threateningly.

Xu was hurt by the attitude of her husband and son. Zhao Ji refused to accept it and said: "If she wants to marry Zheng'er, how can she continue to serve as the captain of Bashu County?"

These words made Gong Zizheng furious. He had never seen anyone cheating his son like this! Let’s not talk about personal affairs. Compared with a prince who holds real power, who is more important than the Chu State who will definitely be destroyed by Qin?
  To put it bluntly, it's just that Zhao Ji doesn't believe in the abilities of many fish. Even though many fish have made great achievements in battle, in her eyes, they are just restless yellow-haired girls with no family background.

Perhaps in their view, women are like vines, dependent on their father, brother, and husband throughout their lives. As noble as Mi Bazi, doesn't her power also come from her husband?
  Gong Zizheng felt powerless and realized the difficulty of many fish. Now that she is in a high position and has to face such unfair treatment, it is unimaginable how many obstacles she encountered in Bashu alone in her later years.

Seeing that the two of them were speechless, Zhao Ji became even more proud: "It was only by relying on the prestige of Marquis Wu'an and enjoying his legacy that we established a firm foothold in Bashu. Do you really think she is a great talent?" It was General Wang Jian who took the credit for capturing E-yi! Do you still expect her to capture Chu?"

Although Mrs. Huayang knows that Qin is good and she can be good, Chu is her hometown after all.

Mrs. Huayang echoed: "If she is a great talent, she cannot be trapped in the palace. If she only has appearances, why let her occupy a high position?" Xia Ji felt inexplicably sad when she saw the scene in front of her. Finally, a female general was born. Not only did he have to kill the enemy head-on, but he also had to withstand backstabbing from women.

Just when Zichu was persuaded and wanted to take the opportunity to take back the jurisdiction of Bashu, the sound of the messenger crying with joy came from afar, frightening the birds staying on the eaves.

"Good news! Good news!"

Following closely behind the messenger came Cai Ze and other important ministers.

Everyone hurriedly saluted the Queen Mother and waited for the messenger to deliver the message.

This is actually not in line with the rules. Fortunately, this is not in the harem, but in Zichu's office, which is spacious.

More importantly, it must be big news to make the messenger so excited.

The ordering soldier knelt heavily on the ground and choked with sobs: "Report to your Majesty, a great victory in Bashu! Commander Xu led his troops to capture the southern land of Chu State and all the ferries south of the river!"

what? !

Zi Chu covered his chest and breathed rapidly. Where to capture?
  Cai Ze was overjoyed and asked: "Capture nearly [-]% of the Chu land south of Chu State?"

The messenger said excitedly: "Yes! Commander Xu said that the Qin flag should be planted all over the hills!"

"Good! Great!" The ministers cried with joy. What Duo Yu meant was that every inch of the southern land of Chu State would be brought under the jurisdiction of Qin State, rather than just seizing a few important cities.

She wants to manage the southern land of Chu just like she manages Bashu, and finally assimilate it and return to her heart!
  Zi Chu couldn't tell for a moment whether he was dreaming. How long had it passed since he had captured E-yi, and yet he had already seized one-half of Chu's land? Is this a joke?

"Quick! Go and invite General Meng Yuan and Wang Lu!" Zi Chu was not good at military affairs and planned to find some knowledgeable people to ask.

Along the way, Meng Yuan and Wang Lu had a general understanding, and both of them were beaming with joy!

As soon as Zichu saw the two of them, his eyes shone and he ordered someone to hand over many fish documents to them: "Take a closer look, what is going on? Why did the Southland be occupied so quickly? It would take a year to fight normally. It’s been half a year and I can’t win it!”

Meng Yuan and Wang Lu whispered to each other, and when they talked about something exciting, they praised him!

"Meng Qing? Wang Qing?" Zi Chu scratched his heart and liver, anxious.

Wang Lu cupped his hands and said: "The time, place and people are favorable for this battle, and there are many fish that are good at seizing the opportunity. One of them is indispensable! First, Bashu County is planting regenerated rice, and the harvest time is one or two months earlier than usual. Taking advantage of the opportunity The benefit!"

"Second, many fish use slow knife cutting to paralyze the Chu State. After Bashu's autumn harvest, the Chu State will be caught off guard!" Wang Hao was full of admiration. The first time she saw many fish, she was still very new to handling soldiers. With just one Passionate and brave.

How long has it been since? She is so skillful in controlling the enemy country's situation and people's hearts! We can actually see in her the shadow of Marquis Wu An who wields soldiers like a god!
  No! She has more advantages than Wu Anhou, and her application of warships is subversive! She single-handedly opened up a new battlefield in this era of frequent famous generals! In this battlefield, she is the ancestor, and the other generals are students.

Wang Hao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Marquis Wu'an, you have a successor!"

Meng Yuan saw Wang Hao's excitement and quickly took over the conversation: "The third is the convenience of the warship. This is essentially a surprise battle! With the addition of sails, the speed of the warship is unmatched!"

Zichu also knows this, soldiers are valuable and quick!
  Because transportation was inconvenient at this time, communication back and forth required manual transmission.

As long as the siege is done properly, it is possible for a city to be besieged for several months without the friendly parties even knowing about it.

But Zi Chu didn't understand: "Why didn't they send the message from the north? The king of Chu could just set up defenses in the next city."

Meng Yuan praised: "This is the brilliance of Lieutenant Xu! She understands the situation in Chu very clearly! The King of Chu and the feudal lords are fighting among themselves, and no one is willing to harm themselves for the useless southern land. strength."

After Wang Lu calmed down his mood, he said: "Chu State can't make up its mind to mobilize the whole country to fight against us. Therefore, from top to bottom, there is no belief in fighting to the death. On the other hand, Duoyu has been operating in Bashu for many years and is quite prestigious. , the soldiers are a victorious army, and they are magnificent! The king trusts her and allows her to have exclusive power! This is harmony!"

Such a smooth war made Zi Chu feel extremely proud: "Can we win the Chu Kingdom in one go?"

Many fish can lead tens of thousands of Qin troops to conquer the south. Qin still has so many strong generals, can it look forward to the entire Chu country?
  Mrs. Huayang, who was listening silently, clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

Wang Hao shook his head: "The southern part of Chu State is the abandoned land, and the northern part is the core. Chu State's resistance attitude is different. Moreover, if we fully attack Chu, the other five countries will not stand idly by."

Zichu sighed regretfully: "What a pity."

Meng Zhuan smiled and shook his head: "It's not a pity. Your Majesty, look here."

Meng Qian was referring to the last sentence in the document, "Build a large port at the mouth of the river."

"Is this?" Zichu felt that many fish would not do meaningless things.

"The mouth of the sea! Many fish want to vigorously develop naval warfare, transport troops and food by sea, and directly enter the coastal plains!" Wang Lu really thought that he was old and could no longer keep up with the development of the times.

This era, after all, belongs to young people.

Zichu suddenly realized: "So that's it! This is really a treasure!"

The sea is mysterious and unpredictable. There are sea gods and sharks in the sea, which is a realm of unknown creatures. Except for Wu Yue who fought several naval battles, landlocked countries have never set their sights on the ocean!
  Meng Zhuan didn't know how many times he praised Duo Yu: "Many nobles from Wu and Yue defected to Chu, and there was also Lord Chun Shen. They would soon be aware of the sea entrance and naval battles. So Duo Yu took action first. Strong! What a keen sense of battlefield!"

The fact is as they speculated. The Yangtze River estuary was originally the territory of Wuyue, and it has always been disliked by people. They thought that the soil there was not conducive to farming and that it was inferior land.

Therefore, Chu State has not yet realized why many fish want to capture all the way to the estuary. They only think that she wants to make a meritorious deed.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. In time, Lieutenant Xu will be the second Marquis of Wu'an!" Wang Hao knelt on his knees and saluted.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the young eagle has spread its wings, and the sky is high for birds to fly! Wherever the eagle flies, there is Qin!" Meng Zhuang knelt down immediately.

Gong Zizheng's hands hidden under his sleeves were clenched into fists. Fishy, ​​you did it!
