The strongest Marquis in history

At this moment, when Zhou Zishan faced Wang Qi, he felt that the mountain was looking up, and Wang Qi in front of him was like a big mountain. The more he looked up, the more he realized that the height of the mountain was unknown, and he couldn't see the top of the mountain at all.

Wang Qi smiled and said: "It's just a superficial idea, not worth mentioning. Among them, some are out of date, and need to be carefully discussed and cut out."

The materials copied by Wang Qi are the imperial examination system of the later Ming Dynasty, which may not be in line with the present.If it is to copy the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely inappropriate, and it is easy to cause various problems.

In terms of implementation, there are still many problems that need to be discussed and changed one by one.

Zhou Zishan said: "It is true that we need to discuss, but His Royal Highness has already considered the imperial examination in great detail, from the selection at the lowest level to the selection at each level."

"Talents from all over the world, according to the imperial examination system, at least most of them will be screened out."

"Your Highness's talent, I admire you."

"Because I was born in a poor family, I have never been able to become an official, and I can't express my ambitions. So in the end, I can only live in the Mi family and work for the Mi family. Therefore, I want to change this situation. Unexpectedly, His Highness has already considered it early. arrive."

Zhou Zishan said with emotion: "Your Highness's wisdom and eyesight are less than one or two ten-thousandths of this minister."

He has great admiration for Wang Qi like a devout believer.

The imperial examination system must be an epoch-making system.

Seeing Zhou Zishan's expression, Wang Qi smiled, he just copied it.But in Zhou Zishan's place, he had already planned and thought carefully.

Wang Qi said: "When it comes to the imperial examination system, as I said just now, many of them are out of date, and we need to think twice. In the world, although countless aristocratic families are annihilated, in fact, once we implement the imperial examination system at this moment, the rest of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Guanzhong, etc. The big family will definitely form a group and will definitely resist with all their strength."

"The area under our rule has already accepted the governance of Qi State, and the land has been owned by the imperial court. Even if there are some big families, they have vested interests and there is no way to change them."

"But the rest of the region, because of the implementation of the imperial examination, will go all out to resist us."

"The situation will be more complicated."

"At least the difficulty for us to sweep the world will increase to a certain extent. For example, when you and your father were in Youzhou before, killing Tian Yue has certain benefits. It's just the consequence. withstand."

Wang Qi said: "If Zhang Shiqi hadn't gone crazy and slaughtered aristocratic families, we would still have a lot of trouble."

Zhou Zishan said: "It was rash to kill Tian Yue in the past. At that time, the minister's consideration was that killing Tian Yue would be helpful to Zhu Huai and the rest of the big families in Youzhou. But I didn't expect that the follow-up would have a great impact. Even, something almost went wrong."

Wang Qi sighed, and said: "This is the power of the aristocratic family. The aristocratic family is intertwined in each locality and everywhere. In our country of Qi, the aristocratic family exists in a certain way."

"For example, in Qingzhou, Lu Shengqi led people to massacre all over the place. After a rebellion, the aristocratic families in Qingzhou were all wiped out, and there was almost no power. For example, in Xuzhou, although there were aristocratic families in Xuzhou, they were mainly for business. The business was developed, and the power of the aristocratic families was weaker. And the Zhuge family took the lead, and they all accepted our changes."

"For example, in today's Jizhou and Bingzhou, after being harmed by the Huns and Zhang Shiqi, the aristocratic families in the two places have been completely abolished, and there is no influence of the aristocratic families."

"As for Youzhou, my royal family is the largest. In addition, you and my father have slaughtered before, which also solved the big problem of the family. As for Yangzhou, the Yangzhou family lives in a corner, and because they fully support us, although they have some influence Power, does not affect the overall situation."

"In Qi State, there are aristocratic families, but the power of the aristocratic families is no longer strong, so we have to implement the imperial examination, and it can go on. However, in Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places, the aristocratic families are stronger."

Wang Qi analyzed the situation and said: "Of course, this is the case for the time being. When it comes to implementation, it may not be the case. After all, the situation is always changing."

Zhou Zishan nodded after hearing this, agreeing with Wang Qi's analysis.

The power of the family should not be underestimated.

Zhou Zishan's expression was a little dignified, and he said: "It is true that according to your highness' analysis, the situation is rather difficult. However, I believe that the promotion of the imperial examination must still be carried out. Because this is the light of the righteous way, it is a great trend, and it cannot be stopped .On the contrary, we held the imperial examination, won the hearts of the people, and supported by all the people, so that we can take the initiative."

Wang Qi nodded and said: "The imperial examination is indeed going to be implemented, but it must be arranged carefully, and the time must be discussed, and how to implement it must also be discussed. This matter will be carefully considered after returning to Linzi."

Zhou Zishan said: "Your Highness is wise."

Wang Qi continued: "As for the imperial examination, you take the book down and study it slowly."

"Yes!"

Zhou Zishan nodded and answered.

After a pause, Zhou Zishan said, "Your Highness, when shall we set off and return?"

Wang Qi said: "Wait a few more days, and you can take a closer look at the situation here in Bingzhou."

"Yes!"

Zhou Zishan didn't stay any longer, he couldn't wait to get up and leave.He has to study the imperial examinations carefully to find out what kind of problems Wang Qi expounded in this book.

Chapter 696 Strategy Change

Guanzhong, Chang'an.

in the imperial city.

Today's little emperor has gradually grown up and is much more mature than in previous years.Furthermore, after the little emperor Zhao Gan became the emperor, even though he was only in his teens, he grew up rapidly, unlike in the past.

It's just that the power in the hands of the little emperor is mainly concentrated on the queen mother.

Concubine Li also put her mind into raising her son.

She knows that her son is precocious and has his own ideas, so now all matters are passed through the emperor first, and the courtiers report to the emperor first.

General matters are left to the emperor's decision. After all, the situation in the imperial court is already so bad, could it be worse?

Furthermore, with Linghu Qianli as the eyes and ears of Concubine Li, Concubine Li can also know the situation in the court in time.Even if the little emperor made any inappropriate government orders, she could withdraw them directly.

So Concubine Li is close to delegating power.

Just to train my son.

Zhao Gan was also conscientious, never slack in handling government affairs, and often asked courtiers for advice, without any slack.Under such circumstances, Zhao Qian had a good impression in the hearts of all the officials, and the officials all thought that Zhao Qian had the appearance of a wise king.

Encouraged by Zhao Gan, he studied hard to enrich himself and strive to become a better emperor.He even thought that it would be great if he could sweep the world and revive the Great Zhou.

On this day, when Zhao Gan was looking at the government affairs, a servant came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Governor Linghu is asking to see you."

"Xuan!"

Zhao Gan gave an order.

The servant turned around and went down to inform.

Not long after, Linghu strode into the hall, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty!"

Zhao Gandao: "Governor, what's the latest news?"

Linghu Qianli replied: "There are two pieces of news, one is about Wang Qi, and the other is about Cao Xuan and Liu Heng."

Zhao Gandao: "How is Wang Qi?"

At this moment, Zhao Gan's eyes showed strong anticipation, and even his heart was beating thumpingly at this moment, and he was extremely excited.

Linghu Qianli had already noticed Zhao Gan's appearance, he sighed deeply, and said quickly, "Your Majesty, Wang Qi made a triumphant return from the grassland and returned to Taiyuan safely."

"Damn!"

Zhao Gan cursed angrily.

He stood up and said: "Wang Qi went north to the Xiongnu, but there were more than a hundred people, and he slaughtered several tribes, causing heavy losses to the Xiongnu. Under such circumstances, the Xiongnu's single Yu Yilimu did not mobilize the army Blocking Wang Qi, did not kill Wang Qi, but let Wang Qi leave. Waste, Yilimu is really a waste."

Linghu Qianli looked solemn, and continued: "Wang Qi returned triumphantly. The most important thing is that he also killed the Xiongnu's great Shanyu Yilimu, as well as Zuoxian King Hulu and Youxian King Uwei. They all died in Wang Qi Now Wang Qi has become a hero of the Northland, revered by countless people."

After Zhao Gan heard this, he froze even more. Did Wang Qi kill Yilimu?

How can it be?

Yilimu is the great Chanyu of the Xiongnu, and Uwei and Hulu are the left and right kings of the Xiongnu, and they are the figures in power of the Xiongnu.But such a lineup was unexpectedly taken over by Wang Qi.

You know, Wang Qi only has a few hundred people.

This is ridiculous.

Zhao Gan took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and asked, "Governor, how could such a situation happen? It stands to reason that Wang Qi sneaked into the Xiongnu with more than a hundred warriors. As long as Wang Qi was blocked, Wang Qi could not escape and would die." Undoubtedly. Specifically, what happened?"

Linghu Qianli shook his head and said: "I don't know, there is no news. After all, Wang Qi went to kill people on the grassland, and we didn't have any sentries to follow. We can get the news because Jiang Jiuge sneaked into Taiyuan himself, and then with the fastest Send back the news as soon as possible. Therefore, there is no news in this regard at the moment."

Zhao Gan frowned, looking very helpless, because the current situation was really unfavorable.

Wang Qi is back again.

This means that all Zhao Gan's expectations are gone.

Once Wang Qi dies, the Qi State will inevitably collapse, and then Zhao Qian can develop his strength and expand the influence of the court.But now, all hope is gone.

After Zhao Gan sighed, he sat down again.He thought about Cao Xuan's affairs, and asked again: "What's the matter with Cao Xuan?"

Linghu Qianli said: "The situation in Yanzhou is even more complicated. Cao Xuan annexed Liu Heng."

"what?"

Zhao Gan couldn't help standing up again.

Looked very shocked.

How is it possible that Cao Xuan annexed Liu Heng's Yuzhou in a short period of time?

Zhao Gan's eyes were sharp, and he said: "Governor, I have been paying attention to the situation in Yuzhou. Liu Heng is quite powerful in Yuzhou. He even wants to plan to deal with the fifth brother who is stationed on the border of Chu State. Why? It was suddenly annexed by Cao Xuan. Is your news really reliable and accurate?"

Linghu Qianli said: "The news came back that the people from the Great Zen Temple went to Yuzhou in person. Then, Liu Heng announced his submission to Cao Xuan. Although Liu Heng is still serving as the shepherd of Yuzhou, the governor of Yuzhou, and even All the sheriffs in Yuzhou's counties have been replaced, and the adjustments have been completed in a short period of time."

"Although the specific situation is unknown, in general, it can be inferred that it should be the Grand Master of the Great Chan Temple who threatened Liu Heng, so Liu Heng took the initiative to surrender."

"After all, although Liu Heng is strong, he doesn't have a great master to sit in his command. He doesn't have the slightest chance of winning against Cao Xuan. If Cao Xuan is really in a hurry, it is enough to assassinate Liu Heng."

Linghu Qianli said: "Anyone else would not be able to stop the Great Master's threat."

After Zhao Gan heard this, Shi Shiran sat down and punched the desk in front of him, looking very angry.

Wang Qi is back.

Cao Xuan actually annexed Yuzhou brazenly.

These two pieces of news are not good news, there are too many thieves in the world.

Zhao Gan felt disheartened at once, waved his hands and said, "I know, you can step back."

"I retire!"

Linghu Qianli didn't know how to comfort Zhao Gan, because the power in Zhao Gan's hands was really not that strong.After careful calculation, Zhao Gan only had one force gathered in Chang'an, and there was no other force at all.

There are very few troops that can be mobilized.

Zhao Gan sat alone in the hall, pondering for a long time, but he couldn't find a solution for the time being, so he ordered someone to notify Li Hongzhong to discuss the matter and discuss countermeasures.

Today's Li Hongzhong is a little older.Li Hongzhong even proposed to return to his hometown again, but Zhao Gan refused to allow it, and he visited him frequently and gave him excellent treatment.

After Li Hongzhong entered, Zhao Gan directly talked about the situation of Wang Qi and Cao Xuan, and said, "Duke Li, Wang Qi is back. The strength of Qi State has been further strengthened, and it is almost unstoppable. In addition, Cao Xuan captured Yuzhou, making Yanzhou, Yuzhou The two places are united, what do you think should be done under the current situation?"

Li Hongzhong's wrinkled face also showed a touch of helplessness and solemnity.

Li Hongzhong also knew about Wang Qi's situation.

At such a young age, Wang Qi dared to attack the Huns to take revenge with only a hundred people with him. Li Hongzhong admired this matter in his heart.When he was young, he also wanted to seal the wolf and live in the Xu, so that he could expand the territory and expel the Huns.

It's just that these ambitions gradually dissipate as they grow older, and now there are no ambitions left, only an indifferent heart that seeks good luck and avoids evil, only cares about one's own one-third of an acre of land, and only cares about one's own life. Benefit.

Li Hongzhong admired Wang Qi's courage.

Dare to kill the Huns.

It's just that now that Wang Qi has returned with a big victory, his prestige with the court has been further weakened.

All over the world, after all, bandits are causing chaos, bandits are fighting everywhere, and countless people are causing chaos.Under such circumstances, the strength of the imperial court was already weakened, and the news that Wang Qi had killed the Hun Chanyu suddenly came out, and one can imagine the shock.

It's a pity that this is Wang Qi's prestige, which does not benefit the court at all.

Li Hongzhong thought quickly in his heart, and he said: "Your Majesty, Wang Qi is not easy to deal with. Before Zixia Mountain was on our side, Yang Sanqian was appointed as the national teacher and went to mediate and threaten Wang Qi. In the end, Yang The three thousand were abolished, and the Daoist sect also asked His Majesty to issue an edict to reward Wang Qi, making his jurisdiction even bigger. It is not easy for us to deal with Wang Qi, at least from the front, it is difficult to contain it."

Zhao Gandao: "Is there no other way?"

Li Hongzhong said: "No!"

After Zhao Gan heard this, he was immediately unwilling, and Salai said: "Shang Shuling, if you don't want to find a solution today, don't leave the palace, just stay in the palace and accompany me."

Li Hongzhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Your Majesty, aren't you embarrassing the veteran?"

Zhao Gandao: "I don't care."

Li Hongzhong sighed: "Rong Chen think about it."

Zhao Gan nodded, then breathed a sigh of relief, and waited quietly.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Hongzhong said in a deep voice: "The old minister has a way."

Zhao Gandao: "What method?"

Li Hongzhong said: "A large number of people who bought Wang Qi and plotted against the officials under Wang Qi's command."

Zhao Gan's cheeks twitched.
