The strongest Marquis in history

The imperial court attached great importance to it, but only granted it to the side concubine.

Very strange!

Zhang Shiqi thought for a while and asked, "Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Tian Ce suddenly said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, this is God Blessing Your Majesty!"

Zhang Shiqi said: "What do you mean?"

Gao Yuanfeng and Yan Zhong also looked at Tian Ce together, as if they didn't understand.

Tian Ce said unhurriedly: "The reason is very simple. If Wang Qi respects the imperial court and has ordinary strength, then that's all. The problem is that Wang Qi is extremely aggressive and constantly expanding."

"In such a state of Qi, we all feel pressured and even afraid, let alone the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty? The emperor hopes that Wang Qi will become weaker and weaker, and the strength of us princes will also become weaker and weaker."

"However, after Wang Qiyi's army emerged, its strength has become stronger and stronger. Can the emperor feel at ease?"

"impossible."

"However, the emperor, at any rate, once worshiped Wang Qi as his teacher, and Wang Qi still has the status of an emperor's teacher. Therefore, the emperor cannot directly deal with Wang Qi, and Wang Qi is not easy to deal with. So the emperor changed a strategy, Use marriage as a means."

"On the surface, this is to reward Wang Qi and give Wang Qi benefits. In fact, I'm sure that the woman who bestowed the marriage must be the emperor's chess piece, and she is responsible for keeping an eye on Wang Qi. Even, it may be necessary to deal with Wang Qi. strange."

"It's said that Wang Qi is powerful in the Hero Tomb of Wenrou Township. What if he is tamed by the woman who gave him the marriage? By then, the huge state of Qi will completely lose its vigor, and even become a knife in the hands of the royal family."

"This is entirely possible."

Tian Ce is also very confident in his own judgment. He said: "In the past dynasties, because the emperor favored the concubines in the harem, there have been many kings who have not ruled early since then."

When Zhang Shiqi heard it, he immediately laughed, and said, "So, it's a good thing. At least for now, it's extremely beneficial to us."

Tian Ce said, "That's what it means."

Yan Zhong said: "After the prime minister's analysis, it becomes clear."

Gao Yuanfeng said: "According to the Prime Minister's analysis, even the Emperor of Zhou secretly plotted against Wang Qi. Then, when will we attack Youzhou Wang Zongxi? If we don't send troops, Zhuojun will fall. It will not be easy if we attack again at that time." .”

For the time being, he still doesn't know the certain plan just now.

So ask.

Zhang Shiqi said: "Prime Minister, when do you think it is most appropriate to send troops?"

Tian Ce said: "It should be sooner rather than later, and our army has already been prepared. I suggest that we send troops north to Zhuo County today to help Zhu Huai. In addition, follow the previous three strategies and advance at the same time."

Zhang Shiqi said: "Yes!"

Since Gao Yuanfeng just came, he didn't know the situation, so he asked again to understand Tian Ce's suggestion.After listening to Tian Ce's suggestion, he couldn't help admiring: "The prime minister's strategy is indeed clever. This strategy not only solves the threat from the north, but also defends against Wang Qi, and also attacks Wang Qi."

Tian Ce stroked his beard with a smile, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm going to arrange it now. For the army going north, I suggest that the general be the leader. After all, the general is good at fighting. For those who go south to defend, I suggest that the hussar general Chen Yinhu be the main one. He's a veteran on the battlefield and knows how to fight."

"That's it!"

Zhang Shiqi immediately agreed.

After everything was negotiated, Tian Ce, Gao Yuanfeng, and Yan Zhong left to make some arrangements.

Zhang Shiqi sat alone in the hall, with a look of expectation in his eyes, but still a touch of apprehension.Even though he worked hard, he was still a little worried when it came to fighting Wang Qi, after all Wang Qi was very strong.

Chapter 596 The Mission Comes

Wang Qi took Xiao Qingzhi's troops to the north, and after returning to Xuzhou, he met Zhao Shao in Xiapi to learn about the current situation in Xuzhou.

Under the governance of Zhao Shao, Xuzhou has developed very well in the past year or so. The land controlled by the government has steadily increased, and more and more land has been cultivated by the people. It has already achieved self-sufficiency in food.

Especially in the promotion of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, Zhao Shao spent a lot of effort, and the agricultural products are more abundant, and the people have more choices to eat. This is the most basic development of Xuzhou.

Xuzhou's business is also improving rapidly. Xuzhou's salt industry, mining industry, and other cloth and silk industries, as well as the brewing industry, are all steadily improving.

This has become a hub for distribution.

A large number of businessmen came in and out.

There are countless materials traded every day, and it is just like this that Xuzhou's business tax revenue has developed rapidly.The entire economy of Xuzhou has achieved sound operation.

After listening to Zhao Shao's explanation, Wang Qi applauded in his heart.Xuzhou is developing rapidly, and Qingzhou is also booming. Wang Qi's foundation has been completely solidified.

Compared with other regions, Wang Qi's development is not fast, because although he conquered the region, his main energy is to develop the region, especially in terms of land and population.

Although slower, the foundation is extremely solid.

There is no substitute for this.

Wang Qi is also extremely satisfied with Zhao Shao's local governance.After the two talked about government affairs, they talked with their relatives in private.Zhao Shao's first thing is about the child.

Zhao Shao's starting point is not to have children early.He didn't urge like this, he said on the basis of the long-term stability of the Qi State, and hoped that Wang Qi would have a future soon so that the Qi State could be truly stable.

Wang Qi responded with a smile.

He was not in a hurry, anyway, he just let nature take its course.

After talking with Zhao Shao, Wang Qi and Zhao Shao stayed overnight in the city, and the next day he led his troops and set off to continue northward.When Wang Qi returned to Linzi, it was already mid-March, and the weather was getting warmer.

Wang Qi destroyed Chen Guo and returned triumphantly. The whole country celebrated together, the people cheered, the courtiers were excited, and everyone was very excited.Because the current strength of Qi State has further expanded, looking at the world, it is already a big country.

When it comes to territory, it may not be the largest.But when it comes to strength, Wang Qi's strength is second to none. Looking at the world, there are very few people who can really compete with Wang Qi.

The army returned triumphantly, and the army was stationed in the barracks. Wang Qi returned to the palace.

Immediately, Wang Qi summoned Zhuge Feng, Mi Huang and Zhu Shan to discuss matters.He glanced at the three of them and asked, "How is the situation in the north during this period of time?"

Zhuge Feng said: "For the time being, the situation in the north is still relatively stable. Zhang Shiqi has not yet intervened in the Youzhou battlefield. It's just that the Marquis of Zhenbei has won most of the counties in Youzhou, but there is still Zhuojun that has not been taken. "

"Zhu Huai is now retreating to defend Zhuo County and returning to Zhuo County to defend it. The Marquis of Zhenbei is heading to Zhuo County. According to my estimate, if there is no external force to intervene, it should not take long to take Zhuo County. Of course, if Zhang Shiqi sends troops to intervene, it will be different, and the war may be delayed."

Zhuge Feng said: "Right now, it's slower, mainly due to the resistance of some aristocratic families in Youzhou."

Wang Qi nodded and said: "It's okay, even if the world intervenes, it won't affect the overall situation. Even if Zhang Shiqi intervenes, that's okay. On the contrary, I expect Zhang Shiqi to intervene, because Qi needs a reason to expand."

Zhuge Feng said: "What your majesty said is true."

Wang Qi looked at Mi Huang and asked, "Mi Qing, I brought back a large amount of gold and silver, as well as treasures and jades. You take someone to the military camp, take inventory, and then seal up all the gold, silver and jewels and put them in the warehouse. "

"Yes!"

Mi Huang nodded and answered.

Wang Qi's eyes turned, and he landed on Zhu Shanchang again, saying: "Shanchang, Yangzhou was initially established, and now Yangzhou pastor is Jiang Ning, Gu Kang, has he ever been appointed?"

Zhu Shan said: "His Royal Highness, Gu Kang has already taken up his post. He rushed all the way back and took up the post when he arrived in Linzi. Gu Kang is very familiar with government affairs. Speaking of him, as a servant of the Ministry of Officials, ministers should be more relaxed."

Wang Qi smiled and said, "This is a good thing."

Gu Kang is in the local area, he can govern the local area, and he is very capable.Now it is even better to go to the center of the state of qi, as it can bring out Gu Kang's ability.

Wang Qi continued: "When it comes to the adjustment of the entire Yangzhou officialdom, the counties will not adjust it for the time being. After this year's transition, at the end of the year, they will gradually adjust, and the officials of each county will be rotated, or they will be adjusted to the center. Then arrange people to go to the local area to gradually weaken the original Yangzhou faction and control of Yangzhou."

Zhu Shan said long and loudly, "I obey your orders!"

"Step! Step!!"

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, but a servant entered and reported: "Your Highness, Chen Qinglong is asking to see you."

"Xuan!"

Wang Qi gave an order.

The servant went to deliver the order, and after a short time, Chen Qinglong stepped in.

He bowed to Wang Qi and said: "Your Highness, just received the news from Chang'an. In Chang'an, the emperor personally issued an edict to commend His Highness for destroying the Chen Kingdom and allowing King Qi to be hereditary. In addition, the emperor granted I married you, I chose a gentle and virtuous woman, Su Yuqing, and bestowed it on Princess Jianing as a side concubine to reward His Highness's achievements."

Wang Qi raised his brows when he heard this, he was a little surprised, the emperor would kindly grant the marriage?

Wang Qi didn't believe it.

Wang Qi said: "Chen Qing, what's going on here?"

Chen Qinglong shook his head, and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, there is no specific information about Su Yuqing's situation. There is only one general news. She is someone close to the Queen Mother."

"Hahaha……"

After Wang Qi heard it, he couldn't help laughing.

Laughter, some sarcasm.

Zhuge Feng said: "Your Highness, why are you laughing?"

Zhu Shanchang, Mi Huang and Chen Qinglong also looked at Wang Qi when they heard the words, looking very surprised.

Wang Qi said: "The reason why I laughed is because Su Yuqing came from Concubine Li's side. Concubine Li is not a simple person. She seems to be a weak woman, but in fact she is charming Tiancheng. Yes, specializing in the way of men and women, good at controlling people's hearts."

"That's why she was able to gain a foothold in the palace. Even though Zhao Yu and Zhao Zhi fought fiercely back then, she was still unaffected. Zhao Gan also stayed in Chang'an firmly and was never affected."

"Even Linghu Qianli, the commander-in-chief of Black Dragon Terrace, is loyal to Concubine Li. Apart from that, he and the commander of the imperial army are also on Concubine Li's side. This woman is very extraordinary."

Wang Qi said: "Concubine Li is like this, and the women around her are probably also like this, that's why I laughed."

Zhuge Feng also practiced martial arts, and he knew how difficult this kind of woman is. He said, "Your Majesty, the other party is not kind to those who come. If that's the case, let's set up checkpoints at the border to prevent court envoys from entering our country of Qi."

Zhu Shanchang shook his head and said: "That's not necessary. Once the entry is prohibited, it means that the Qi State does not respect the imperial court. Right now we still have a fig leaf, which is for Da Zhou. I think we can let the other party enter. When the time comes, Su Yuqing This woman will take over first, and when the court envoys leave, find a reason to execute her."

Chen Qinglong was speechless. Whether it was Zhuge Feng or Zhu Shanchang, they all dealt with it very well.

He didn't mix opinions, just stood aside.

Wang Qi smiled, and said: "When it comes to Su Yuqing, let her come. As for how to deal with it, it won't be too late to deal with it when Su Yuqing arrives."

"Yes!"

Zhuge Feng and Zhu Shanchang heard the words and answered them together.

After the matter was dealt with, everyone asked to resign. Wang Qi checked some of the previous memorials, learned about the government, and then went to the harem.Now it's almost evening, Zhao Yuyan and Mi Zhen are back.

The two girls knew the news of Wang Qi's return, and they both returned early.

As soon as the three of them met, it was a long drought and rain.

A lust.

Wang Qi stayed in Linzi for a while and did not leave for the time being. After all, there was no news from Jizhou.Wang Qi was busy dealing with government affairs during the day and making people at night, so his life was leisurely.

In a blink of an eye, it was March 26. On this day, the sky was overcast and it was raining lightly.It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, and the crops in the fields will be better if this spring rain goes on.

When Wang Qi was handling government affairs in the palace, the servant came in and reported that the mission sent by Da Zhou had gone outside the palace to seek an audience.Wang Qi did not leave the other party alone, and directly ordered someone to take him into the palace.

Chapter 597

Not long after, Zhao Yongtu brought Su Yuqing in.

Zhao Yongtu is about 70 years old, his hair is gray, but he is in good spirits, he looks like a warrior.Although he is not a master of the master realm, at least he is a first-class master, which is why he is so energetic.

Zhao Yongtu knew very well how powerful Wang Qi was before him, and even more knew that although Wang Qi was said to be the King of Qi, he was serving for the Great Zhou, but in reality it was just a fig leaf.It was impossible for him to put on a show in front of Wang Qi, and let Wang Qi come to receive the order. He directly said the emperor's edict and rewards, and then handed the imperial edict to Wang Qi and it was over.

After Zhao Yongtu's work was completed, he simply said: "King Qi, the old man's mission has been completed, and he is about to leave for Chang'an. Concubine Su is here. She is now King Qi's side concubine, so she will stay by King Qi's side."

Su Yuqing was wearing a veil at the moment, looking hazy.

Wang Qi said: "Take off the veil."

"Yes!"

Su Yuqing responded, raised her slender hands, and took off her veil.Her face is very delicate, not as mature and charming as Concubine Li, but delicate and beautiful, giving people an excellent impression just by looking at her.

When Wang Qi looked over, it happened that Su Yuqing also looked over.As soon as his eyes collided, Wang Qi immediately felt the influence exerted by the other party. It was a spiritual influence, intended to charm her.

Wang Qi's mental power is so powerful, Su Yuqing's mental intention to shake Wang Qi, immediately felt like bumping into an iron wall, she couldn't influence her, her own mental power was injured, she snorted, and took two steps back.

On Su Yuqing's face, there was a touch of shock, and that delicate face suddenly showed a touch of horror.

what happened?

Wang Qi's spirit is so strong.

Su Yuqing exerted a charm, and it stands to reason that even masters in the master realm would be affected.In front of Wang Qi, she seemed like a moth to a flame. Once she bumped into it, she would be greatly affected.

Su Yuqing's face was slightly pale, but she forced herself to calm down.It's just that once she was affected, her own influence on her surroundings was weakened in an instant, and she gave people the impression that she was only a little pitiful, without the contagious power that she had before.

Zhao Yongtu saw it in his eyes. Although he didn't understand it very well, he knew that it was a disadvantage to beg Su Yuqing.

But he didn't mix things up, as King Li in the court, why he lived so long was that he didn't mix things up at will, so he was relaxed and free from any influence.
