"In this way, the lower official will start to arrange this matter when he goes back."

There was a smile in Fiji's eyes, which was a complacent person who suggested that he was valued.

His suggestions on the matter of the wealthy family were recognized by Xiao Ming, which must be a kind of recognition of Xiao Ming.

From Xiao Wenxuan to Xiao Ming's side, the people he serves have changed, so he naturally has to prove his outstanding talents to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming nodded after hearing this, and said, "The throne ceremony is only one month later. This month is enough for you to convey the news of your ascension to other vassal kings. You can test their reactions while you ascend the throne."

"Yes, Your Highness." Pang Yukun and Fiji nodded at the same time. They still have a lot of things to deal with before the throne ceremony.

After talking about this, the two of them were about to leave. At this time, Fiji suddenly remembered the incident of King Chu. He said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness, something strange happened before the Xiaguan came to Qingzhou."

"Let me tell me." Xiao Ming has been in a good mood these two days.

"The King of Chu's fleet once appeared outside Jinling City, and on the ship we also saw missionaries from the West." Fiji said.

"Western missionary?" Xiao Ming showed an interesting look, and he said: "Wang Xuan said that the King of Chu and the French had contact, and now it seems that this contact is quite good."

"The army of the King of Chu has captured Guangzhou. It is said that there are many Western merchants and missionaries living in Guangzhou. Perhaps this is not French." Fiji pondered for a moment.

"No matter where the missionary is, this is not a good thing for us." Xiao Ming frowned. In Xiao Ming's opinion, the King of Chu's recognition of firearms was greater than that of other princes.

Just as the King of Chu was taught a lesson by Western powers in the late Qing Dynasty, and the King of Chu was also taught a lesson by the Dutch, the King of Chu, who is now stimulated, does not know what changes will happen to his psychology.

In other words, the current King of Chu may be more willing to accept change. This is also his habit of dealing with the Dutch and maintaining health. It is precisely because of this habit that he probably established contacts with the French at such a speed, rather than posing as a national and national state, cursing the barbarians.

Now that the north is not yet determined, the fiefdom has no time to look south. Fiji frowned and said, "Your Highness, I think this King Zhao is a threat, but now it seems that this King Chu is not simple."

Xiao Ming looked south with deep eyes. He was not worried about how big the waves the King of Chu could make.

Because even if the French help the King of Chu, the State of Chu could not catch up with Qingzhou's industrialization, and the essence of the war in the Age of Discovery was nothing more than a competition of industrial capabilities.

Moreover, if the French were involved in the civil strife in the Great Yu Kingdom, he would have reason to deal with Annan Kingdom.

"The King of Southern Chu, King of Northern Zhao, and his mother said that his father had always been afraid of them. Now it seems that this is true. However, even if the King of Chu cooperates with the French, he will not rashly tear the alliance. He still has a lot of goods not received. I will take advantage of this period of time to unify the north as soon as possible." Xiao Ming said calmly.

"As long as your highness follows the Wei territory's orders against the nobles, once the army of King Yan and King Liang is defeated, the nobles of Yan and Liang will rush to show their loyalty to Your Highness." Fiji said confidently.

Xiao Ming nodded. The idea that Fiji came up with was tantamount to reducing the difficulty of unification from advanced to low level. Of course, everything has to be paid, so the problems of the wealthy family remained.

After talking about the situation in Wei, Xiao Ming began to discuss the details of the throne ceremony with the two. Now a more prominent problem is that there is no imperial palace in Qingzhou.

It was obviously too late to build the palace in one month, so the three of them discussed and decided to hold the throne ceremony in Qingzhou Prefecture.

Compared with the Qi Wang Mansion, the Qingzhou Mansion is very large in scale and is divided into front and back halls, and the back hall can be used as a temporary court.

In addition to the court where the politics was discussed, there were also complicated issues such as the arrangements of the concubines of the late emperor. Xiao Ming was also at a loss and simply handed over the matter to Concubine Zhen.

These concubines may be a little dissatisfied with his arrangements based on their seniority, but they have to endure even if they have any objections. After all, after he ascended the throne, Concubine Zhen was the empress dowager.

After defining these details, the two left the palace.

Because Fiji is proficient in the process of the throne ceremony, he will be responsible for the arrangement of the entire order of the throne in this month, while Pang Yukun can only be responsible for conveying the news of Xiao Ming's ascension to other vassal kings.

...

Five days later, Jizhou.

King Yong fell into silence after sending away the envoy from Qingzhou.

Princess Yong saw King Yong like this and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, what happened?"

"Xiao Ming is ready to ascend the throne, and the emperor really gave him the will." King Yong sighed slowly.

Princess Yong shook her head gently, and she said, "During the Chang'an Rebellion, I said that the emperor would definitely pass the position to Xiao Ming. Now which prince in the world can turn the tide?"

"The princess has always been smart, and this time I guessed it right. If it weren't for the princess' help over the years, with my reckless nature, I would have lost my life long ago." King Yong looked at Princess Yong with friendship in his eyes.

Princess Yong showed a faint smile. Everyone in the world knew that Prince Yong was irritable, but they didn't know that Prince Yong was so fond of her.

"What should you do when your Highness is going to do?" asked Princess Yong.

Thinking of the King Yong's face, a hint of horror, "The third prince is dead, he is not Xiao Ming's opponent, so how could I be Xiao Ming's opponent? And I have promised the emperor that no matter who ascends the throne, I must be loyal to the royal family."

"Your Highness is very much." Princess Yong held Prince Yong's hand, "Since that's the case, we might have to go there to express our feelings this time Xiao Ming ascends the throne."

King Yong nodded, "Now Xiao Ming has already had Wei territory. With the king's fiefdom, he occupies half of the north. This makes it much easier to stabilize the north."

"Your Highness is wrong. Isn't King Kang's vassal state also in the hands of Xiao Ming? Now Xiao Ming has the power of the four countries." Princess Yong said with a smile.

At the same time, the envoy from Qingzhou was driven out by the King of Yan from Bozhou City.

The King of Yan was furious in the palace of Yan.

"Little brother Xiao Ming, do you really think that the world is still the world of Dayu Kingdom? Do you think that the country will always be decided by your Xiao family?" King Yan roared.

The officials and generals in the royal palace were all silent, and no one dared to get into trouble at this time.
