The strongest Marquis in history

Wang Qi thought it was good, aside from Zhao Shao's previous intention to marry the Wang family, Wang Qi still admired Zhao Shao's character.Especially during this period of time, Wang Qi looked through the documents of all court officials, and also saw the documents of Zhao Shao.

Zhao Shao's official reputation, character, and virtue are good. In the court, although he belongs to the King Qi faction, he has a good relationship with some officials of the Eastern Palace.Although he is loyal to King Qi, he has his own political opinions and persistence.

Zhao Shao acted fairly.

Everyone knows this.

After the banquet, Zhao Shao called Wang Qi into the study alone.

The two sat down separately.

At this time, Wang Qi obviously felt that the atmosphere had changed, Zhao Shao should have something to say.

It was Zhao Shao who didn't say anything before.

This is where we get to the point.

Zhao Shao's eyes fell on Wang Qi, and he asked, "Wang Qi, you and Yuyan met today. This meeting is different from the last meeting. What do you think of Yuyan?"

Wang Qi chuckled and said, "Ms. Zhao has a straight temper and is a straightforward person. Besides, she is versatile and very good."

Zhao Shao asked: "Really?"

Wang Qi said: "Naturally it is true."

Zhao Shao's face gradually turned serious, and he said, "Nephew, it stands to reason that you and girl Yuyan are already engaged, so I shouldn't interfere too much. But I still want to say, are you really willing to marry girl Yuyan?"

"Although the old man is the servant of the household department, he also hopes that the Zhao family will get better and better, but it is not necessary to force his daughter to marry and marry in order to increase the influence of the Zhao family."

"If you are willing, the old man has nothing to say, and I am happy to see it succeed. If you are not willing, our two families can get together and break up, and we can still keep in touch with each other from time to time."

"Nephew, do you think so?"

Zhao Shao said: "Everything depends on what my nephew has to say. In this life, you have to see the right way, so that you can live a good life. Only in this way, you will not regret it."

Wang Qidao: "I think Yuyan is pretty good, there is nothing wrong with it."

He just listened to Zhao Shao's words.If Zhao Shao was really interested, he wouldn't say it now, but would say it directly when he saw him.Zhao Shao first let Wang Qi meet Zhao Yuyan, and then let the two get along with each other. He also listed Zhao Yuyan's various good things.

Obviously, it is to promote the relationship between the two.

Now it's time to test it out.

Most importantly, Wang Qi has his own ideas about his marriage.If Wang Qi wants to get married, he must be able to control the other party, and it is impossible to let himself be led by the nose.

Zhao Yuyan is straightforward and easy to communicate with, which is pretty good.If another person came, it might not be the same as it is now, maybe not as good as Zhao Yuyan, so Wang Qi is willing to give it a try.

Zhao Shao was completely relaxed when he heard Wang Qi's words.What he said just now was purely probing. He wanted to hear what Wang Qi had to say and see Wang Qi's attitude.

After Zhao Shao finished speaking, he changed the subject and said solemnly: "Nephew, I will not interfere in your marriage with this girl Yuyan. After all, our old Zhao family is different from ordinary families."

"In addition, this old man doesn't treat you as an outsider. So you come to Chang'an, you have to deal with King Qi, and even you temporarily use the power of the prince to deal with King Qi, this old man doesn't care."

"Here, old man, you don't have to worry."

Zhao Shao said: "You don't have to feel that there is any restriction in doing things just because the old man is on the side of King Qi. In short, you can do whatever you want."

Wang Qi raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

You must know that the marriage between Zhao Shao and the Wang family in the early years was because Zhao Shao had ideas and ambitions, wanted to attract foreign aid, and had his own strength, so the marriage was facilitated.

These words are different.

Wang Qi thought a lot in his heart, with a calm expression on his face, he said, "Thank you, Uncle, for your understanding."

Zhao Shao said: "However, if you are in Chang'an, you still have to be cautious and don't be careless. In addition, regarding your future development, this old man has some personal opinions and opinions from the family."

At this time, Zhao Shao looked even more serious.

Wang Qi said: "I would like to hear the details."

He also wanted to hear what advice Zhao Shao had.After all, if you listen to both, you will be clear and if you believe, you will be dark. There is no harm in listening to the analysis of others.

At least, it can provide Wang Qi with ideas.

Zhao Shao pondered for a while, and then said: "In the current Great Zhou Dynasty, the local people are displaced, the prefectures are overthrown, and the power of the imperial court is constantly weakening. This is a sign of chaos in the country."

"On this occasion, there are still princes in the imperial court who are vying for the throne, and they are fighting endlessly. Even the officials in the imperial court have to attach themselves to one faction in order to survive."

"In such a court situation, I don't suggest you stay in Chang'an."

"Today's Chang'an is a whirlpool."

Zhao Shao said: "So in a place like this, even if you win, it won't be of much use."

Wang Qi pondered in his heart and asked, "Uncle thinks, what should I do?"

Zhao Shao said: "What you have to do is two ways. First, use the many things in Chang'an to become famous and lay your foundation, so that you can become the leader of the younger generation and become the leader."

"Secondly, after achieving this goal, find an opportunity to release it as an official. Although you have never had an official, but with your reputation, you can directly release it to another place and be able to serve as the magistrate of a county."

"As for your entry into Chang'an, if you are a hostage, it depends on what the emperor thinks."

"The emperor thinks highly of you, so everything is not a problem. If you are highly regarded by the emperor, you will have the opportunity to be released as an official."

Zhao Shao said with emotion: "In troubled times, only by controlling one side can one gain power and gain a foothold. As for the battle in the court, it will not end in a short time."

"Chaozhong is also a place that pays attention to qualifications, and you need your qualifications."

"So in troubled times, you go to the local office. Once the world changes, you can make contributions. When the place is in chaos, you can calm down the chaos and get promoted when the time comes."

Zhao Shao said: "This is the old man's suggestion, you should find an opportunity to be released as an official."

Wang Qi thought about it after hearing it.

Zhao Shao's analysis is a way of thinking.

In a peaceful and prosperous age, it is natural to gild the center and get seniority, which is the fastest promotion.But in troubled times, staying in the center is more dangerous, because the fighting is fierce.

If you are released as an official, you can continue to wipe out bandits and make meritorious deeds.

This is the fastest way.

The most important thing is that in troubled times, it is safest to have soldiers and food.

Wang Qi nodded and said, "Uncle's analysis, I understand. But does uncle really believe that the world will be in chaos?"

His eyes are sharp.

The eyes are more probing.

Zhao Shao made him feel like a wise man.Although Zhao Shao's martial arts were not as good as Wang Zongxi's, even far behind, but Zhao Shao gave Wang Qi the feeling that he was extremely wise.

Therefore, Wang Qi was even more curious.

See how Zhao Shao analyzes it?

Chapter 213

Zhao Shao fell silent when he heard Wang Qi's words.

Wang Qi's topic is too big.

This matter cannot be explained clearly in a few words.Especially when it comes to the world of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Shao, as the servant of the household department, once he makes a judgment and the news spreads, it will have a great impact on Zhao Shao.

This cannot be expressed lightly.

Wang Qi sat quietly, not in a hurry to urge.

After a while, a smile appeared on Zhao Shao's face, and he said, "Nephew, you really have problems. The question you raised is a big deal."

Wang Qi smiled lightly and said, "Uncle and I are the only two people in the room. Uncle's words come out of uncle's mouth and into my ears. God knows, you know, I know, uncle's words will not be passed on."

Zhao Shao said, "I believe in you."

The two families are married after all, Zhao Shao believed that Wang Qi would not say anything nonsense.Immediately, Zhao Shao said: "The reason why the old man thinks that the world will be in chaos is as follows."

Wang Qi said: "I would like to hear the details."

Zhao Shao said: "First, the emperor is obsessed with alchemy and seeking longevity. Prince Zhao Yu and King Qi Zhao Zhi only know court battles, no matter where they are, or the overall situation. Such a person, even if the new emperor succeeds, the chaos will continue, and the court will influence everyone." continued to decline."

"Second, local power is becoming stronger."

"The local officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, especially the state herdsmen of various regions, have mastered the military and political power of the region. In this case, the region is equal to self-reliance, and the imperial court's influence on the local area is too weak. Once a rebellion breaks out or there is chaos, the imperial court can only do justice. , unable to stabilize the situation.”

"Third, the people are suffering, and the people are in dire straits."

"Officials of the Great Zhou court fought against each other, bought and sold officials, corrupted the law, and ignored the lives of the people. Many local people were displaced and fled from their hometowns. Without the people, the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been affected."

Zhao Shao continued: "Fourth, there are more and more thieves and bandits everywhere."

"The increase in thieves and bandits has made the people of the world have a constant weakening of the awe of the court and the center. Whether it is the people or the government, when it comes to the court, they all lack awe and fear of the past."

"Fifth, disasters have occurred in various places year after year. On the basis of chaos, there are floods and droughts in various parts of the world, which further make the world worse."

"If, on the basis of the previous problems, the weather can still be maintained, the world may be peaceful, and the Great Zhou can be maintained stably. The problem is that the disaster has further deteriorated the situation in the world, and it is difficult to reverse it."

"Sixth, the magistrates run wild with tigers."

"Local officials, in order to hold power and not weaken their own rights, have no advantage in suppressing the bandits. They don't care about the rebel bandits at all. They just turn a blind eye and close one eye, just muddling along."

"As a result, there are more and more bandits everywhere."

The expression on Zhao Shao's face was unusually serious, and he was even more worried. He sighed and said, "Besides, the imperial court still has many problems. There are countless problems of this and that kind."

"The current Dazhou, although it still maintains an empty shelf, in fact, it is about to be chaotic."

"It only takes one more big battle to happen, and the Great Zhou will completely collapse, and it will be completely in trouble, and the majesty of the court will also completely fall."

"Oh, it's really hard to even think about it!"

Zhao Shao said: "Unfortunately, the emperor and the prince don't care about it at all, they only think about their own affairs."

After Wang Qi heard it, his eyes brightened.

not simple!

Zhao Shao's thinking is extremely clear, and he judges the future direction of Dazhou more wisely.

In fact, the judgment of Wang Qi and Zhuge Feng is also the same.

The Great Zhou is now empty-handed, and it only needs another major turbulent battle to occur, and the majesty established by the Great Zhou for hundreds of years will be completely wiped out.

Wang Qi praised: "What uncle said is true."

Zhao Shaodao: "So, the old man hopes that you will look for opportunities and be released as an official. No matter how bad the outside environment is, as long as you gain a foothold outside, you will not be afraid of troubled times."

After a pause, Zhao Shao said: "If you don't make preparations, you will always be in the center, and it will be difficult to make achievements in the local area. The world is in chaos, dragons and snakes are rising together, and the people in the center are actually rootless apples. .”

Wang Qi said: "Uncle is in the court, there are few people who can break the situation."

Zhao Shao shook his head and said, "You are wrong."

Wang Qi said: "Why did uncle say that?"

Zhao Shao said in a deep voice: "There is never a shortage of smart people in the world. The important ministers in the court, especially the prime ministers of the three provinces, have lived for decades, experienced countless ups and downs, and even climbed up from the bottom step by step. They have great respect for the world. The situation is even more clear."

"Although they are in high positions, don't they know the situation in the world?"

"No, they know."

"Do they want to change the predicament of Dazhou? They also want to change."

"But they are in their positions, and there are too many constraints and too many embarrassments. Driven by interest groups, it is impossible for them to make changes."

"The boat is small and easy to turn around. If the boat is big, it is extremely difficult to change the direction, even if it is a little bit. So, this world is hard to return, and it is difficult to change. Of course, if there is a wise master, it can change everything. .”

Zhao Shao said: "The problem is that neither the crown prince nor the king of Qi can be regarded as a wise master. Therefore, this old man believes that the current situation cannot be changed."

Wang Qi said: "This Da Zhou, is it hopeless?"

Zhao Shao stared at Wang Qi with a smile, and said, "Nephew, you are also a very intelligent person, can't you analyze it?"

Wang Qi laughed, and said: "Jiang is still old and hot, and my uncle is in a high position, so he can see everything clearly, so the analysis is naturally different."

After a pause, Wang Qi said: "Uncle, King Qi and Donggong are pushing people now, intending to compete for the post of Minister of the Household Department. Now, Prince Qi's Mansion is recommending Uncle to be the Minister of the Household Department. What do you think of this position?"

Zhao Shaodao: "Would you believe me if I said that I am not willing to be the Minister of the Household Department?"

Wang Qi said, "I believe it."

Zhao Shao said with a smile: "You boy, you still say you believe, even if you don't believe it, you're really talking nonsense. The reason why I don't serve as Minister of the Household Department is very simple. The position of Minister of the Household Department is to make money for the King of Qi, so I do not want to."

"This position is just a puppet of King Qi. What's the point?"
