The imperial palace in Luo City was nearly ten times larger than that of Dragon City. Even Zhao Rui couldn't help but marvel at its magnificence.

Moreover, it also has the largest imperial study room in the world. The books here are copied with reference to the book atlas in the Luocheng Library.

It’s quite complete!

There is a huge map spread on the open space in the central hall of the Royal Study. This map not only marks out all the mountains, terrains, rivers and veins in the world, but also shows the locations where the various princes were when they first sealed off hundreds of years ago.

.

Zhao Rui was sitting on it at the moment. Not far away from him, there was a picture of the princes in the world today.

"It's really a time of great changes. I think back when Dachang was founded, there were eight hundred princes in the world, but now there aren't many left."

This sigh immediately resonated with several people around him, and Shangguan Mu sighed immediately.

"Ever since the king of Southern Chu claimed to be king three hundred years ago, all the princes in the world have merged with each other, completely messing up the etiquette!"

Nangong Yi snorted coldly: "If you ask me, it is all caused by the desires in the hearts of various princes! They already have their own fiefdoms, but they are not satisfied. At the beginning, they did not dare to do so because of the majesty of the great merchants.

There were too many moves, but with the decline of the Dashang royal family, they no longer have any scruples."

Zhao Rui's eyes were always fixed on Xishu's position.

"You two, I didn't ask you to come here to analyze the situation in the world, but to tell you about the next plan for Xi Shu!"

Shangguan Mu is the internal minister, and he is good at running the country. He really can't come up with any ideas for foreign diplomacy and war.

Nangong Yi seemed to have already thought of a strategy, but there was just a little hesitation on his face.

"Your Highness, even though a few of the princes in the world have recognized my status as the suzerainty of Great Shang, they are definitely not convinced! They definitely don't want to see me, Great Shang, dominate the world again. They will definitely take action, and they are very likely to unite under

Together."

Zhao Rui nodded, this was what he was worried about.

Although that old guy Han Chenghuan is greedy for money and lustful, he still has talents and is an all-round talent.

Not only can he lead troops in war, he is also a good hand in governing the country and making diplomatic relations.

If you just show off your diplomatic ability, you might be able to compete with Nangong Yi.

Thirty years ago, Sanchuan in the south was still a vassal state. In order to obtain a large area of ​​land in the southern border of Western Shu, Han Chenghuan instigated the three major families in Sanchuan, causing them to betray their original suzerainty and even turn against each other.

At that time, Sanchuan was transformed into three countries, and the territory of Xishu was expanded thousands of miles.

Now that thirty years have passed, I wonder if this old guy's diplomatic skills are still as good as they were back then.

"What has that old guy Han Chenghuan done recently?" Zhao Rui asked subconsciously.

Nangong Yi looked sad: "The current situation in Xishu is not very good. He does not dare to move at will. However, the people under his command have attacked in all directions and have gone to several vassal states at the same time. I am afraid that they want to unite all the countries.

"

Zhao Rui stepped back a few times and leaned on a half-squatting chair.

"Nangong Xiangguo, looking at you like this, you don't seem to have any countermeasures."

Nangong Yi sighed helplessly.
