In the State of Wei, Gongsun Yan reported the situation to Wei Yao.
Wei Yao scolded Young Master Jiu: "Young Master Jiu, what did you say before? Zhao Guo will definitely sell grain to us? Ah?"
Young Master Jiu wiped away his cold sweat and said, "Your Majesty, this is truly an accident."
"Bullshit!" Wei Yao scolded, "Now the country will soon run out of food. Once there is no food, there will be chaos!"
"Young Master Jiu, I think you are of no use as Prime Minister. From today on, Gongsun Yan will take your position as Prime Minister!"
Wei Yao took the opportunity to challenge Prince Jiu and seize his official position, but he had no choice at this time.
Wei Yao asked Gongsun Yan again: "Gongsun Yan, what can you do?"
Gongsun Yanhui reported: "Now we can only release the grain in the official warehouses and stabilize grain prices. We also need to ask the king to issue an order to urge the people to return to agriculture. As long as we live frugally and survive until this autumn harvest, we can survive the crisis.
.”
"Then let's do it this way!" Wei Yao agreed.
…
In Chu State, the King of Chu also issued orders similar to those of Wei Yao, but with little effect.
At this time, they all thought that as long as they waited until the autumn harvest, the crisis would be over.
…
【Spring has passed and autumn has come, and it’s time for the autumn harvest.】
"My food! It's all been ruined by these insects!" In the farmland, the farmers of Wei State were sitting on the field stalks, wanting to cry without tears!
This year's wheat suffered from insect pests and the harvest was greatly reduced!
…
"Why is there so little?" The farmers of Chu State also lamented after harvesting the grain. This year's grain output was too low, and the grain they planted was like weeds!
…
[Because of the use of inferior seeds, the autumn harvests of Wei and Chu were greatly reduced. Coupled with the already existing food shortages, the food crisis in the two countries began to explode!]
【Many peasant uprisings broke out in the Wei State, and the King of Wei had to send large armies to various places to quell the rebellions.】
[The nobles of the Chu State were dissatisfied with the King of Chu and secretly stirred up trouble to overthrow the King of Chu. The King of Chu had to stop practicing and suppress the government.]
…
Zhang Beichen and Zhao Yun are just waiting, the chaos cannot be covered up.
Wei and Chu have been short of food for several years and have nothing to eat. They cannot suppress the civil strife by any means!
Because there are only two ways to solve this problem.
Either they are looking for someone to borrow food, and now only the State of Zhao can borrow food! If they don't surrender, how can the State of Zhao borrow food?
The other is to use war to kill people! As long as there are fewer mouths to eat, there will be enough food. It sounds cruel, but it is the fact!
…
[The King of Wei sent an envoy to Zhao to buy grain, and she was willing to cede five cities.]
Zhao Yun refused directly.
[The King of Chu sent an envoy to the State of Zhao to buy grain, and she was willing to cede the original land of Qi to the State of Zhao.]
Zhao Yun still refused, and the monarchs of the two countries were still adding chips!
"Your conditions are very attractive to me." Zhao Yun squinted her eyes, "It's a pity that I won't agree! What I want is not just a few cities or a few pieces of land, but - the whole world!"
…
[Half a year later, wars broke out between Wei and Chu, rebellions in various places could no longer be suppressed, and the prestige of the kings of Wei and Chu was greatly reduced.]
"It's time!" Zhang Beichen took the army that had been trained long ago and started to go on the expedition.
He first attacked Chu.
[The Chu army is short of food and clothing and has a weak will to resist. Your army can easily reach Yingcheng, the capital of Chu State.]
In the palace of the King of Chu, Xiong Zhitong was reflecting on himself.
The people's livelihood issues that she had ignored before actually defeated her easily! The huge Chu country was so fragile!
"Could it be that my martial arts are not suitable for world hegemony?" Xiong Zhitong felt a little shaken in her heart. Soon, she strengthened her belief: "No, it's just that I'm not strong enough! If I had killed Zhao a few years ago,
If the country is destroyed and Zhang Beichen is killed, there won't be so many things!"
"The matter of food is just a trivial matter. I will definitely not make such a mistake next time!"
This time, Xiong Zhitong no longer wanted to fight Zhang Beichen. Because the soldiers in her hands had no fighting spirit, and going out to fight would only become a joke.
So, she simply sprinted to the peak of the Holy Realm.
…
[The king of Chu failed to forcefully break through the realm and died. The nobles of Chu opened the city gate and surrendered.]
[You spent a year fighting in various parts of the Chu State, and finally completely occupied the Chu State.]
…
After dealing with Chu State, Zhang Beichen looked back at Wei State.
After more than a year of famine, Wei's national strength was no longer what it used to be.
The first is the Bashu region, which has little control. Because the old nobles of Bashu rebelled, this place was lost directly.
Secondly, because Wei Yao appointed Gongsun Yan to suppress Gongzi Jiu and other aristocratic forces, Gongzi Jiu and others simply ignored Wei Yao and proclaimed themselves king, splitting the Wei state into two.
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www. 】
In front of Zhao State, these separatist forces are simply not enough to compete with Zhao State.
…
[The Zhao army began to attack the Wei State, but the Wei State was defeated.]
In the court hall of Wei State, Wei Yao said to the ministers: "Now that Wei State's national power is declining and people's livelihood is in decline, we are no match for Zhao State. I have decided to surrender to Zhao State to ensure the safety of the people."
Wei Yao thought that everyone would agree, but who knew that this time, the crowd was excited.
Gongsun Yan suggested: "Your Majesty, we still have the strength to fight, so we must not surrender!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I and my ministers are willing to leave the city and fight to the death!"
"The people of Zhao are coming. Unless they step over the corpse of the minister, they will never break into the beam!"
Most of the courtiers were unwilling to surrender, but instead expressed their determination to serve the country with loyalty!
Wei Yao was speechless. If Gongzi Jiu and others were present, they would have agreed as soon as he said surrender.
In this simulation, I tried to kick all the people like Gongzi Jiu out of the court. Now, most of the people in the court are scholars from poor families who were recruited from the imperial examination.
And if you want to succeed in the imperial examination, you must study hard and patriotic books. Therefore, none of these people are willing to surrender.
Wei Yao ignored their opinions and said: "I have made up my mind, don't say any more. When the Zhao army comes, I will open the city and surrender, and no one is allowed to resist!"
Wei Yao thought very simply. Anyway, her intimacy with Zhang Beichen has reached the level of love. After surrendering, she can marry him and live a carefree life without having to worry about state affairs. How comfortable!
…
"The king insists on surrendering, what should we do?" The ministers were also discussing privately.
"We must not surrender! How can we surrender without fighting? Then how can we explain to the people of Wei and our dead soldiers?"
"Yes, you can't surrender!"
"But this is the king's order!"
"We are from the Kingdom of Wei, and the King is the monarch of the Kingdom of Wei. As a monarch, if she abandons the Kingdom of Wei, she will no longer be qualified to be the monarch!"
"If you want to defend the Kingdom of Wei, you must kill Wei Yao and establish another king!"
[That night, the ministers who were loyal to Wei State launched a rebellion, took advantage of the night to rush into the palace of Wei State, and killed King Wei. They supported another clansman in the palace of Wei State to be King Wei, and vowed to fight the Zhao army to the end!]
Wei Yao was speechless, completely speechless!
She never thought that she could be offline in this way! The "patriots" she selected were treated as traitors and killed!
When the simulation is over, you will definitely be laughed at by other queens!
…
[After the death of Wei Yao, the state of Wei became even more chaotic. In front of the powerful Zhao army, they retreated steadily.]
[One year later, both kings of Wei were killed, and the entire territory of Wei was occupied by Zhao.]
[Another half year later, the Zhao army entered the Bashu region and captured the new King Ba and King Shu. At this point, all the countries in the Central Plains region were destroyed, and the world returned to Zhao!]
…
"The world is unified?" Zhao Yun seemed to be dreaming. She didn't expect that the final victory would come so easily!
There was no balance of power, no arduous war, just relying on food trade, and in a few years, the two powerful countries were easily defeated!
The unification of the world that she had never achieved was achieved in this round!
"Father, have you seen that? Your approach won't work! How can you achieve greatness as an emperor if you are not ruthless?"
The food war seems easy, but as a result, many more people died in Wei and Chu than in normal wars!
…
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!" The ministers celebrated to Zhao Yun, "Now all the land in the Central Plains belongs to our Kingdom of Zhao, and Your Majesty will become the co-owner of the world!"
Zhao Yun raised her eyebrows with joy and said: "I am also relying on your contribution."
Hijian suggested: "Your Majesty, since the world has been unified, why not choose a good and auspicious day to ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor?"
Zhao Yun nodded slowly and said, "Gu Ye has this intention!"
She also wants to get the Empress' achievement!
As a result, everyone in the Zhao Kingdom began to prepare for Zhao Yun to proclaim himself emperor.
Two months later.
In the capital of the State of Zhao, hundreds of officials were displayed on the altar, and elite soldiers guarded the altar.
On the altar stood a beautiful figure.
She is tall and wears a brighter red imperial robe. The appearance of this imperial robe is somewhat similar to an improved version of cheongsam. This is an imperial costume specially designed by Zhang Beichen for Zhao Yun.
On the left side of her imperial robe is embroidered a giant with fire-making feet, which is the legendary ancient god Kuafu who chases the sun; on the right side of her imperial robe is a fire bird rising into the sky, which is the Black Bird.
The Zhao family originated from the surname Ying, and the totem of their faith is the same as that of Qin, which is a black bird.
The imperial robe designed by Zhang Beichen for Zhao Yun is not as wide as other royal robes, but fits the body very well, just enough to show off her perfect figure.
She has a crown that reaches the sky on her head, and her jade face is majestic and beautiful. There seems to be a world-wide light shining in her eyes!
"Gu inherited the throne from the previous king, and after more than thirty years, he finally annexed all the countries in the Central Plains and unified the world!"
"I am now offering sacrifices to the sky. I will ascend the throne as emperor from now on! The country will be named Zhao!"
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, a golden dragon appeared in the sky. It circled continuously over the capital, and then rained down the sky to bring luck to Zhao.
The ministers and people all knelt down in the direction of Zhao Yun and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
…
Ying Yinren also participated in the ceremony, her eyes were complicated. Jun's father had always taught her to be a "benevolent king" and imitate the ancient sages.
The word "benevolent king" definitely doesn't make sense to Zhao Yun. A king who killed his father and brother and sacrificed countless people for victory would definitely be denounced if recorded in history books!
However, it was she like this who accomplished the great cause of unifying the world!
"It turns out there is more than one way to become an emperor." Ying Yin sighed in his heart.
She then looked at the figure closest to Zhao Yun, Zhang Beichen.
"If you win Lord Beichen, you can win the world!"
…
【You have unlocked a new skin.】
Zhang Beichen was looking at the peerless Zhao Yun in front of him when the simulator reminded him that he had once again unlocked an empress achievement.
[Zhao Di: Zhao Yun.] Golden Five Stars.
The picture of this skin is exactly the same as the scene Zhang Beichen is seeing now. Zhao Yun goes on stage to worship the heaven, and the golden dragon roars in mourning!
"The second one!" Zhang Beichen was filled with joy and calculation. This was the second time he simulated with Zhao Yun, and he and she got the Empress achievement together. He was the fastest one!
"It's probably because of Zhao Yun's personality!" Zhang Beichen thought to himself. From an emperor's point of view, Zhao Yun is decisive in doing things and never drags his feet. For the sake of the great cause, he can sacrifice anything and doesn't care about worldly benevolence, justice and morality!
It is precisely because of this character that she became the empress in the fastest possible time!
…
After unifying the world, the first thing Zhao Yun had to do was to entrust the heroes among themselves.
Although Zhao Yun was ruthless in doing things, he always rewarded meritorious deeds, so all the meritorious ministers of Zhao State were rewarded.
As for the national system, Zhao Yun also adopted the system of counties and counties. He let the heroes and generals go to each county to serve as county guards and generals.
This time, no one objected to Zhao Yun's decision. Because when Zhao Yun came to the throne, she carried out a large-scale purge of the original nobles of Zhao State, and now her subordinates are all her subordinates.
Coupled with Emperor Zhao's character of never showing mercy in killing, no one dared to stand up against the system of counties and counties.
From a basic point of view, Da Zhao is more stable than the previous Da Qin. In that simulation, after the Ying Yin people unified the world, the world was in ruins due to years of war, and the people were in dire straits.
And this time, although the people in Wei and Chu lived a miserable life, Zhao's agriculture was developed enough to support these people. So overall, the initial national power of Zhao was much stronger than the previously simulated Da Qin!
…
[Emperor Zhao created a new title and made you the Duke of Zhenguo, a first-class knight!]
Zhao Yun originally wanted to make Zhang Beichen king, but Zhang Beichen believed that after finally abolishing the enfeoffment system, he could no longer reverse course.
[Emperor Zhao made Feijian the prime minister and Xinnan the general.]
[Di Zhao declared that only he in the world can be called me.]
[Emperor Zhao designated HD as the imperial capital and began to build Handan Palace!]
[Emperor Zhao decreed that the world must use unified writing, currency, weights, measures, language, and carriage sizes, and began to build official roads throughout the world.]
When Ying Yin ascended the throne, Zhao Yun watched the battle seriously. She memorized all these useful policies and began to vigorously promote them.
Because there were too many things to complete in just one or two years, both Zhang Beichen and Zhao Yun entered a busy state.
Zhang Beichen felt tired and turned on the hosting function directly.
[Five years later, Zhao’s various new policies have begun to be implemented, and the world has been further stabilized.]
…
In the court hall, Zhao Yun went to court every day.
"If you have something to do, go to court, if nothing happens, leave the court!" the eunuch screamed.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report at the end!" A minister came out, it was Zhao Hu, the former leader of the Imperial Guard.
In this simulation, because Zhao Yun did not launch a military revolt in HD, Zhao Hu did not betray, and later made a lot of contributions to conquering the world, so he was rewarded with an official title.
"Say." Zhao Yun looked at him.
Zhao Hu held a tray covered with red cloth and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, last month, in Jingshan Mountain under the jurisdiction of Weichen, a quarryman dug up a piece of beautiful jade, which is rare in the world! It's above
There are also six words written, 'When the emperor's jade comes out, the great Zhao will prosper', which I specially dedicated to His Majesty!"
With that said, he stepped forward and handed the tray to the eunuch.
The eunuch handed it to Zhao Yun for a look. Sure enough, it was a piece of beautiful jade with several ancient characters engraved on it.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun just smiled slightly and said: "It's an auspicious sign. There is no need to present this kind of thing to me in the future! I will unify the world not by the mercy of God, but by swords, guns, axes and axes!"
Those monarchs who are not in the right position prefer auspiciousness, so as to prove the legitimacy of their position as king.
But Zhao Yun doesn't care about this at all. Anyone who dares to question her will be killed directly!
Zhao Hu was a little unwilling. He considered himself to be Zhao Yun's family, and his father was once her teacher. With such a relationship, after the establishment of Zhao, his official title was pitiful.
Someone also suggested that he should do the Xiangrui matter, but Zhao Yun did not expect that he would not accept this idea at all.
He continued: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do."
"explain."
Zhao Hu said: "Wei Chen heard that there was a Taoist priest on Mount Tai who was proficient in the art of immortality. Wei Chen specially sent someone to visit him, and after many hardships, he finally invited the Taoist priest and asked him to offer the gift of immortality to His Majesty.
Technique!"
Immortality is something that all emperors long for. Even the Qin Emperor Ying Yin who was simulated before was controlled by the desire for immortality.
Zhao Yun learned from Ying Yin's mistakes and became much more cautious.
She then asked: "Who is the Taoist priest you are talking about?"
"He is here, Your Highness."
"Send him to the palace." Zhao Yun ordered.
"yes!"
"Preacher enter the palace!" the eunuch shouted, and soon, everyone saw a Taoist priest with white hair and a childish face, a fairy-like demeanor, walking slowly towards him.
His cloth shoes seemed to be on the ground, but in fact they were floating in the air. There seemed to be a faint sound of Taoism around him. When he appeared, there were cranes dancing outside the palace and thousands of flowers blooming!
When the ministers saw this, they were all impressed by the vision of heaven and earth, and thought that this might be an "immortal master"!
Zhao Hu proudly introduced: "Your Majesty, this is the Taoist master who is proficient in the art of immortality. His Taoist name is Tianxing Taoist!"
"What, Tianxing Taoist?" Zhang Beichen was in charge of the trusteeship, and was awakened by a word. He quickly entered the simulated time and space to check, and found that the evil way that had harmed the country and the people several times had appeared again!
Not only him, Zhao Yun also knows this evil way!
He beguiled Ying Yin and her children, and almost destroyed the huge empire! She had long thought that if she encountered this demon, she would kill the crisis in advance!
"Huang Tianwuliang!" Tianxing Taoist bowed his head and bowed, "I am a poor Taoist, Tianxing Taoist, but I have met Your Majesty."
Taoist Tianxing stood confidently in front of His Highness. He wanted to wait for Zhao Yun to ask him how to live forever. However, to his surprise, when Zhao Yun saw him, not only did she not show any curiosity or admiration, but she looked disgusted and said, "Where are you from?"
You are a demon, dare to use blinding methods to deceive you in front of me? Drag him down and chop him down!"
