The strongest Marquis in history

Although Wang Qi and Chao Yi had been by Liebra's side, they had never seen King Aries.So even if Wang Qi had appeared on the grassland, Aries King didn't know about Wang Qi.

Wang Qi said: "King Aries, why did you go south?"

King Aries said: "He came here for peace."

Wang Qi said: "Tell me, what kind of conditions will the Huns give to Punu?"

King Aries replied: "Reporting to the King of Qi, the Xiongnu promised not to go south to invade the territory of Qi State. In addition, the Huns will give [-] horses and [-] sheep as compensation. Please accept this condition. It is the biggest condition that the Huns can give, after all, Pu Nu Da Shanyu succeeds to the throne, there are many constraints, it is not easy."

Wang Qi smiled lightly, and said: "For me, Wang Qi, do I need to consider Pu Nu's situation? Whether Pu Nu dies or not, what has it to do with me? Whether Pu Nu's life is sad or not, what has it to do with me?"

King Aries frowned.

Things are not easy!

Wang Qi continued: "The worse the Xiongnu's situation today, the better. Furthermore, the king's Bingzhou and Jizhou are recovering. After Jizhou and Bingzhou are restored, the king will send troops to the north. At that time, the army will come to the Huns. Let's fight with you Huns."

brush!

Aries King's complexion changed abruptly.

Also attack the Huns.

After such a fight, the Huns can't stand it.Especially today's Xiongnu, who are already seriously injured, and with the killing of Da Shanyu Yilimu, Zuoxian King Hulu, and Youxian King Uwei, and civil strife among the Xiongnu, many tribes have their thoughts.

If there is a little carelessness, the Xiongnu will fight among themselves.

The King of Aries actually doesn't care about internal fighting and the like, because the Huns are all about you killing me and I killing you.What he cares about is that once internal strife occurs, the Aries Department will not be able to reap the benefits.

Furthermore, the current Aries Department has been damaged, and it is difficult to order other departments. This is also considered by the Aries King.

The Aries King took a deep breath, with a smile on his face, and said: "King Qi, this time, my servants are here to represent the Huns to seek peace. In addition, my Aries Department is willing to submit to King Qi and obey King Qi s arrangement."

As soon as Wang Qi heard it, he immediately understood.

Aries King has ambitions and ideas!Otherwise, the surrender would not have been mentioned, in order to gain his support.

Wang Qi said: "How are you going to obey this king's arrangement?"

King Aries said: "Whoever the King of Qi asks me to attack, I will attack. Even if I attack the Xiongnu Da Shanyu, I will not frown. Following the King of Qi is the future of my Aries Department."

"Hahaha……"

After Wang Qi heard it, he laughed out loud.

Laughter, with sarcasm.

There is even more unbelief.

After Wang Qi laughed, he said: "Ah King Aries, what you said is unbelievable. The Huns and barbarians have always been unfaithful and only cared about their interests. If you say you follow this king, according to this king, you may be If you want to get the support of the king, then use the name of the king to annex the tribes of the grassland. The next step is to monopolize the power, and then betray the king."

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

King Aries spoke quickly, shook his head and said, "King Qi, I, the Aries Department, follow King Qi with all my heart, without any second thoughts."

He said soft words on his lips, but he was even more vigilant in his heart.

Wang Qi is not easy, he actually has an insight into his inner thoughts, Aries King is just like what Wang Qi said, he needs to get Wang Qi's support first.When he is completely in power, the strength of the Xiongnu increases, and the strength of Wang Qi's Qi State weakens, he can take revenge.

It is never too late for the Huns to take revenge.

He has enough patience.

Chapter 694 Mutual Use

The Aries King continued: "King Qi, my Aries tribe is sincerely surrendering. In addition, the Xiongnu tribe is also sincerely seeking peace. Please, King Qi, accept the submission of my Aries tribe and the Xiongnu tribe's peace request."

Wang Qi rolled his eyes, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's not impossible for the Huns to seek peace."

The King of Aries is also a human spirit, upon hearing Wang Qi's words, he immediately understood that Wang Qi might still have conditions.King Aries immediately said: "King Qi, if you have any conditions, just say so."

Wang Qi said: "I want [-] war horses."

"what!"

King Aries exclaimed when he heard it.

[-] war horses, this is not a small number!It is true that the Huns naturally lived by water and grass, and had a large number of war horses, but there was a huge gap between [-] war horses and [-] war horses.

Wang Qi said: "Why, can't it?"

As soon as the Aries King thought of Wang Qi's deterrence, as soon as he thought of Wang Qi's lethality, more than a hundred people under Wang Qi's leadership severely damaged the vitality of the Xiongnu.Once Wang Qi really led his army northward and entered the Xiongnu, then the entire Xiongnu would inevitably fall into a war of extermination.

At that time, the Huns may not even be able to control the Huns Wangting Langjuxu Mountain.

Even, possibly worse.

King Aries took a deep breath and said, "King Qi, we Huns are willing to give you [-] war horses."

Wang Qi said: "The Xiongnu's request for peace, this king has agreed."

The King of Aries put on a shy face, and tentatively said, "King Qi, what do you think about the submission of my Aries Department?"

Wang Qi said: "King Aries, your Aries department has different conditions for your Aries department to surrender. Have you really considered it?"

King Aries said, "What's the condition?"

Wang Qi said: "First, choose one of your sons as a hostage to come to my king's Qi State. Second, the Aries Department pays tribute every year, with [-] horses and [-] sheep every year."

"Third, the Aries Department will report the details about the Xiongnu at any time, and report all the news."

"Of course, as a reward, this king will support your Aries Department. Once the interests of the Aries Department are involved, this king will express his support, or send envoys to support you."

"When necessary, this king can personally send troops to the north to help you."

Wang Qi said: "This is the condition of this king, and it is also your obligation. As long as you agree, this king will agree to your condition and help you."

When King Aries heard this, he immediately became excited. He hurriedly said: "No problem, I am the Aries Department, and I am willing to submit to King Qi. I am the Aries Department, and I am willing to be the subordinate of King Qi."

Wang Qi looked at Aries King's excited look, and sneered in his heart.

Aries King's calculation is to use his strength to fight, and wants to use his influence of Wang Qi to unify the tribes on the grassland.The result Wang Qi wanted was for the Aries Department to annex other ministries with ambitions and to have conflicts with the other ministries.

The greater the conflict among the ministries, the more brutal the fighting. In the end, the strength of the entire grassland was weakened, and it would be easy for Wang Qi to exterminate the Huns.

Both Wang Qi and Aries King have their own plans, and it depends on who is more clever.

The Aries King said: "King Qi, I will return to the grassland. Within three months, [-] war horses will be sent. My Aries Department will also fulfill the conditions of my Aries Department, but they must be sent separately. Please Don't worry, King Qi."

Wang Qi said: "I will wait and see."

King Aries said: "Your servant will leave."

Wang Qi nodded, and the Aries King left in a hurry. Not long after the Aries King left, it was Zhou Zishan who came in a hurry, and he saluted, "Your Highness!"

Wang Qi said: "Military division, sit down!"

After Zhou Zishan sat down, he said, "According to the report of the lieutenant general, the Aries King of the Huns is coming. What are they doing here?"

Wang Qi said: "The Baiyang King, the head of the Baiyang tribe of the Xiongnu, came to ask for peace on behalf of the new Xiongnu Da Shanyu Punu. Then, I blackmailed him, and the Xiongnu would give [-] war horses as compensation. "

"Besides, this Aries King is very ambitious. He took the initiative to join me and asked for my support. The Aries Department will give [-] horses and [-] sheep every year. My son will come to Qi as a hostage."

"King Aries wants to use this king's power, so I will lend it to him, let him display his ambitions, and let him toss on the grassland. It is a good thing that the Huns are in chaos, or even worse."

There is hope in Wang Qi's eyes.

The current Aries King is a pawn in Wang Qi's hands.

After Zhou Zishan listened, he thought carefully and said, "Your Highness's trip to the north has scared the Huns horribly. If it hadn't been for His Highness to scare the Huns, Pu Nu would not have arranged for King Aries to go south to seek peace."

"The most important thing is that the deaths of Yilimu, Uwe and Hulu have made many ambitious people have ideas. King Aries is one of them. It is an excellent thing for His Highness to promise King Aries."

"If he wants to start a fight among the Huns, then let them fight. Because it is beneficial to us."

Zhou Zishan said: "Your Highness went deep into the Xiongnu this time, and it was really a good kill. Although this trip to the north has encountered countless dangers, it is indeed worth it."

Wang Qi said: "That's what it means. The army's concerns coincide with this king's."

Zhou Zishan said: "There is one more thing to do when you come from a humble position."

Wang Qi said: "What is it?"

Zhou Zishan said: "Nowadays, Bingzhou is included in the territory of Qi State, especially under the arrangement of Gaozhou Mu, all parts of the state are attached one after another. On the whole, the problem of Bingzhou is not big. Adding Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yangzhou, the most six state."

"Such a huge area has already occupied half of the Great Zhou."

"To put it bluntly, even if Your Highness becomes the king now, it will not have any influence. There is no force in the world that can resist the king. On this occasion, apart from attacking other countries, we also have the most important one. One thing, that is, there should be a change in the selection of local officials."

"I have studied the history of the Great Zhou for hundreds of years. The official selection system of the Great Zhou mainly relied on local inspections, enlistment, or selection from the children of the aristocratic family. This kind of selection actually has great limitations. "

"His Royal Highness established the Qi State and carried on the past and ushered in the future. Naturally, we cannot continue to follow this strategy."

"His Royal Highness is now reforming the land policy to take the land into the imperial court, which weakens the family. Although the family still has influence, compared to before, the family can monopolize countless resources and people with the help of land. Today's family is too weak. many."

"However, the land policy alone is not enough, because the influence of the aristocratic family in the officialdom is still huge. If the reform is not continued now, the situation will change in decades or even a hundred years later."

Zhou Zishan said: "So I think that we need to continue to make changes."

Wang Qi had his own thoughts in his mind, he didn't expect that Zhou Zishan would bring it up, Wang Qi asked patiently, "Military Master, what do you think about it?"

Zhou Zishan's eyes were sharp, and he said: "The way to break the talent pool is actually very simple. It is to conduct a unified assessment. Whether you are from a poor family or a child of a family, as long as you want to become an official, you need to be assessed by the imperial court."

"As for the so-called expropriation, investigation, promotion of filial piety, etc., all non-assessment methods will be abolished directly and will no longer be established. Unless it is personally appointed by His Highness, otherwise, no special methods will be given to appoint officials. "

"In this way, the situation in the world will definitely change greatly, if it can be as short as a few years or as long as ten years. The power in the officialdom will gradually not be controlled by the aristocratic family."

Zhou Zishan said: "In this way, His Highness's territory will be more stable."

Wang Qi nodded and said: "The strategy of the military division is indeed important. The official selection system is the most basic system, and it is related to the long-term stability of the entire Qi State."

Chapter 695 Devotion

Zhou Zishan said: "Your Highness is wise, the system of selecting officials is indeed the most important thing, which is related to the future of Qi State. Now that Qi State is newly established, the new officials in the court may come from aristocratic families, but in fact, they are not really big families. son."

"So, their relationship network has not yet been formed, and the foundation is not ready. At this time, it is the best time to break down the class barriers. If you miss this opportunity, wait until the power of the powerful is formed, and then want to break it, it will be difficult. gone."

"The existence of the rich and powerful is inevitable. Because this cannot be changed in the past dynasties."

"But now, this situation can be reversed to the greatest extent. Therefore, I think it should be implemented, and officials should be selected openly, fairly and justly so that the court can operate normally."

Zhou Zishan became more and more excited.

Wang Qi agreed with his point of view, so Zhou Zishan was very excited.

Wang Qi nodded and said, "Military Master, do you have any suggestions for selecting officials?"

Zhou Zishan said: "The general minister has already said it, there is nothing more to say. It's just that there are still many shortcomings. After all, specific measures involve specific operations, and these have not been discussed in detail yet."

Wang Qi took a book directly from his desk.

There are two words on the cover - imperial examination.

Wang Qi handed the book to Zhou Zishan and said, "Military Master, come here and have a look."

Zhou Zishan took it and saw the word "imperial examination". He was a little confused and didn't understand what it meant.He looked up at Wang Qi, and Wang Qi said, "Let's see first."

This imperial examination was written by Wang Qi based on the information in his mind.As the lord of Qi, he always has a book with him.When he was fighting, he would also write materials in his spare time, transcribing the necessary materials from his mind.

From Qingzhou of Qi State to Jizhou, and then from Jizhou to Bingzhou, Wang Qi's books and materials were all sent here.

Wang Qi had already considered that the future state of Qi would set up imperial examinations.So early on, I have been writing books on the aspect of imperial examinations, and I have already written them a long time ago.It's just put in a lot of materials, and it hasn't been put on the agenda yet.

After all, the timing of promoting the imperial examination was inappropriate before, but now that Zhou Zishan mentioned it, Wang Qicai took it out.

After reading it, Zhou Zishan didn’t have time to appreciate Wang Qi’s handwriting. After reading the content of the opening article, he was already attracted by the imperial examination system, because this imperial examination system included poor families and aristocratic families. in.

Starting from the lowest level of scientific examination, going up level by level, and finally reaching the palace examination in the court hall, the real talents are all produced from the palace examination, and they are all disciples of the emperor.

The governance of the court is excellent.

It can be described as a groundbreaking arrangement.

Due to time constraints, Zhou Zishan couldn't check it in detail. He just took a rough look and was shocked.Especially when he turned to the end, he saw that the date of signing the last night was around March this year, so it had already been written before.

At this moment, Zhou Zishan was even more shocked.

"Your Highness is a great talent, I admire you!"

Zhou Zishan put down the book, clasped his hands together, and bowed respectfully.
