The strongest Marquis in history

Cen Wen said: "So in the eyes of many scholars, and even ordinary people, Wang Qi is like a savior. He made Xianbei sue for peace, made the Xiongnu fearful, and even made the Japanese kingdom become a vassal. These things are feats that many people can't build in a lifetime."

Cao Xuan nodded. Although he was a little envious, Cao Xuan was pragmatic and said, "No matter what, we only need to develop our own strength now."

Cen Wen said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Cao Xuandao: "What's the news from Chu State?"

Cen Wen said in a deep voice: "As for the state of Chu, the king of Chu, Xiong Huai, sent news that we are invited to send troops to attack the state of Qi after the spring. Moreover, the state of Chu has a great master with the help of the pill. Even, The state of Chu got the help of a sect called the Manshen Sect, and there are two great masters. Counting, there are three great masters in the state of Chu."

After Cao Xuan heard it, he looked at Cen Wen and said, "Military Master, what do you think about Kaichun fighting Wang Qi?"

With sharp eyes, Cen Wen said, "Your Majesty, it's time to start a war with Wang Qi. Wang Qi now occupies Yangzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou and Youzhou, occupying half of the Great Zhou."

"His background is getting stronger and stronger."

"One more year of delay will increase Wang Qi's strength. It is impossible for us to keep up with Qi's development. Therefore, if we want to start the war, we must start the war earlier. Keep delaying until Wang Qi's strength is fully stabilized. If you want to defeat Wang Qi, it will be as difficult as climbing the sky."

Cen Wen said: "That's why Chu State sent a letter, and the minister suggested going to war."

Cao Xuan nodded his head and said: "The military master thinks it is necessary to start a war, and this king also thinks it is necessary to start a war. But this time, this king thinks that the Great Chan Temple should give more support. Just a great master who understands the law is definitely not enough. .Now Chu has three great masters, so we should have more."

Cen Wen thought for a while and said, "This matter needs to be persuaded to understand the Dharma. He passed the letter to the Great Chan Temple, and then the Great Chan Temple will give more support."

Cao Xuan said: "This matter, it's hard work for the military commander to go there. You go to lobby for enlightenment and ask him to help."

"As ordered!"

Cen Wen nodded in answer.

Cao Xuan said: "Military Master, do you think it is possible for Zixia Mountain to intervene?"

"Unlikely!"

Cen Wen shook his head with a helpless expression.

He said: "Zixia Mountain has already been scared by Wang Qi. In the past, Zixia Mountain gave Wang Qi the Nine-turn Zijin Pill as compensation, and suffered a big loss. Now let them take action, they may not be willing."

Cao Xuan thought for a while, and said: "Forget it, we don't care about Zixia Mountain. Right now, we still rely on the Great Chan Temple and use the power of the Great Chan Temple to fight against Wang Qi's great master. Of course, although the great master needs it, we can Most importantly, our own soldiers."

Cen Wen said: "What the king said is true."

Cao Xuandao: "Military Master, you should make arrangements earlier, after all, the beginning of spring is not far away. The sooner you settle things, the sooner you can feel at ease, otherwise, once you wait until after the beginning of spring, and talk to Wufa, it will be too late."

Cen Wen nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise, I will go to the humble post."

He immediately got up and said goodbye, stayed out of the barracks, and went straight to the area where the Great Chan Temple was located in the city.Because Cen Wen represented Cao Xuan, he often came to the area where the Great Chan Temple was located, so as soon as he arrived, he went directly to the temple where the Great Chan Temple was staying, and saw Enlightenment who was chanting sutras.

Cen Wen saluted and said, "Zen Master Wufa."

Wufa stopped knocking on the wooden fish, looked up at Cen Wen, and said, "Mr. Cen is here, what's the matter?"

Cen Wen didn't go around in circles, and cut straight to the point: "Zhan Master Wufa, now there are more masters in the state of great masters in Chu, and with the help of the Barbarian Sect, there are three masters in the realm of great masters."

"On the part of the Chu State, on the one hand, a letter was sent to express gratitude to the Great Chan Temple. After all, without the elixir from the Great Chan Temple, it would be difficult for the masters of the Chu State to break through to the Great Master. On the other hand, the Chu State has already said that the beginning of spring Then we will start a war with Qi."

"This time, the battle is a decisive battle. Qi will not be destroyed, and we will not let it go."

"We, Wei, are also preparing to fight after the spring. However, in the current situation, our high-end combat power is still seriously insufficient, and we are not even comparable to Chu."

"After all, Wang Fuzhi and Qi Changsheng support Wang Qi in terms of the Three Purities, and Wang Zongxi is a master of the Grand Master realm. Furthermore, Wang Qi's own strength is extremely powerful, enough to be considered a master of the Grand Master realm. "

"Equivalently, Wang Qi has four great masters."

Cen Wen said: "So we are still seriously lacking in strength. I implore Zen Master Wufa and the Great Chan Temple to give more support."

Wufa frowned slightly after hearing this.

At this moment, Wufa was a little disappointed.

Cao Xuan's development is good, but unfortunately compared to Wang Qi, his strength is still too weak.

Most importantly, Wang Qi developed too fast.It's just that the Daoist Sanqing Temple is already on Wang Qi's side, and Qi State supports the Sanqing Temple. At this time, it is impossible for the Dachan Temple to support Qi State and can only support Cao Xuan.

Wufa is a shrewd person, and he doesn't need Cen Wenduo to say anything before he already understands the stakes.

He stroked the gray beard under his jaw, thought for a while, and said, "Mr. Cen, the old monk will send a letter to the abbot of the Dachan Temple immediately. Please preside over the senior brother and send the great master. In addition, the stick monk of the Dachan Temple , will also come down the mountain to help. In this battle, I will do my best to help King Wei."

Cen Wen let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Zen Master Wufa."

Wufa closed his eyes and continued to knock on the wooden fish.

Cen Wen didn't care about enlightenment, he was so happy that he left in a hurry, wanting to tell Cao Xuan the good news.

When he came, he had already considered many strategies, and was ready to use his emotions to make sense, and even prepared to threaten the Great Chan Temple.In short, he was considering all kinds of plans, but in the end he didn't expect that this time it would go so smoothly.

Chapter 731

In December, the weather gets colder.

In Linzi City this year, it has already started to snow, but the snow is not heavy yet.

Most of the people in Linzi have already started to rest, stop doing things, and wait for the arrival of the new year.After all, there is snow on the mountain, and the work can no longer be done, so I can only rest.

The weather has been good these years, and people can work everywhere, so it is easier to make money. At the end of the year, every household has enough money to buy some new year's goods.

Of course, there are also hard-working people. On this occasion, they either go out to find something to do, or go to the mountains to cut firewood and sell it.In winter, the demand for firewood and charcoal are greater.

Wang Qi told the court of Qi State to pay more attention to the situation in Qingzhou and even Qi State.

The colder the twelfth lunar month, the more we must pay attention to the safety of the people.

Time hastily entered the end of December. On Wang Qi's day, when he was bored reading in the palace, Li Wuji entered and reported that Zhu Shanchang was visiting and wanted to see something.

Wang Qi ordered to pass in, and after Zhu Shanchang entered, he had a happy expression on his face and said: "Your Highness, I am here today because of the newspaper. It has been constantly changing and adjusting before, and now the template of the newspaper is basically set. In addition, the printing of the newspaper The production, etc., have also been prepared. The publication of the newspaper, this matter has also been fully considered."

Wang Qi took a newspaper template and carefully read the content printed on it.

There is this year's harvest situation, as well as the latest policy promulgated by the imperial court.

The content of each edition is very good.

After looking around, Wang Qi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Yes, this is feasible. But why isn't the name of the masthead of Qi Guo Daily written on it?"

Zhu Shanchang said: "Your Highness, this is reserved for you. Your Highness is unparalleled in martial arts, and your handwriting is also unique. So please inscribe your Highness, and then every issue of Qi Guo Daily will be your Highness's inscription."

"OK, no problem!"

Wang Qi responded directly, and he would not refuse anyone in this regard.Wang Qi immediately picked up the brush and wrote the words Qi Guo Daily on the masthead. His characters were still in willow script with iron and silver hooks, which was extremely powerful.

Next, it has to be engraved by someone so that Wang Qi's font will be used in the Qi Guo Daily in the future.

Zhu Shanchang put away the newspaper and continued: "Since Your Highness approves, I am ready to take action. Regarding the situation of the newspaper, it must be sold, but in terms of sales, it is impossible for many people to sell it."

"After all, there are not many people who buy newspapers, so considering the promotion of newspapers, the minister's idea is to temporarily arrange one person in all counties and counties across the country to read newspapers every day, and read newspapers at the gate of the city, so that the people can know."

"Although this matter is a bit complicated. But do it first, and then gradually change it with the popularity of newspapers. This is not to take care of scholars, but to take care of more illiterate ordinary people."

Zhu Shanchang also talked about the arrangement of the newspaper.

"can!"

Wang Qi nodded and answered.

Zhu Shanchang's consideration is quite appropriate. After all, the purpose of running a newspaper is to let more people know about it and let more people participate in it, so that changes can be made.

Otherwise, not many people know about the newspaper, and the effect it plays will not be very great.

Zhu Shanchang said: "With regard to the matter of letting the state and county run newspapers, the consideration of inferiority, after the Qiguo Daily is rolled out, the next step, the state and county will start to follow suit. At the latest in the spring of next year, this matter can be promoted."

Wang Qi said: "Just do as you say."

Zhu Shanchang breathed a sigh of relief, after all, this was the first time the newspaper matter had been dealt with in this way.No one has experience in this, and he is also crossing the river by feeling the stones, so he can only bite the bullet.

Zhu Shan said: "The minister will arrange it now."

Wang Qi said: "Wait a minute!"

Zhu Shan said long and hard, "Is there any other order from Your Highness?"

Wang Qi said: "Newspaper propaganda can be spread first. For example, when the newspaper starts to print, what content will be recorded in the general direction. You spread the word and spread the news so that people know. Then when the newspaper is published, It’s not like everyone doesn’t buy it. People will buy it when they have expectations, and they will be willing to listen to the content of the newspaper.”

Zhu Shanchang's eyes lit up, and he said, "I understand!"

At this moment, hurried footsteps came, and a servant hurriedly entered, reporting: "His Royal Highness, happy event, great happy event! There is news from the harem that the princess is pregnant."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Hexi Your Majesty!"

When Zhu Shanchang heard the news, he stood up and bowed to congratulate him.

Although Wang Qi is young, for the long life of Qi, he still needs an heir.Now that Zhao Yuyan is pregnant with a child, it means that Qi has an inheritance and a future.

For many people in the Qi court, Zhao Yuyan was pregnant, which was a reassurance.

Wang Qi waved his hands and said: "You guys are busy, the king is going to the harem."

"Yes!"

Zhu Shanchang replied.

He turned around and left. After all, he wanted to publicize the princess's pregnancy to make everyone happy.

Wang Qi hurried to the harem and saw Zhao Yuyan.

At this time, Mi Zhen was also with her.

Zhao Yuyan had a happy expression on her face. Speaking of which, she was urged by Zhao Shao many times. The problem is that she and Wang Qi get together less and leave more, and it is normal that she has not been able to conceive.Wang Qi stayed in Linzi for a long time, and finally became pregnant.

Seeing Zhao Yuyan, Wang Qi sat down beside him, and said with a smile, "I'm pregnant now, so I need to be more careful. Besides, I don't know much about raising babies. You can arrange someone to consult Miracle Doctor Dong and be careful."

"The concubine understands."

There was also a smile on Zhao Yuyan's face.

She reached out and stroked her belly with a happy expression on her face.

Zhao Yuyan glanced at Mi Zhen who was at the side, she and Mi Zhen had a very good relationship, after all they had been getting along all these years.

Zhao Yuyan reminded: "Your Highness, let Sister Mi Zhen accompany you more, and try to get Sister Mi Zhen to conceive earlier. The Wang family has always had few children, so it is better to spread more branches and leaves."

Immediately, a shyness appeared on Mi Zhen's face, but there was also a shyness in her eyes.

She is not young anymore.

Naturally, she also wanted to get pregnant.

It's just that during this period of time, when Wang Qi was in Linzi, he was exposed to both rain and dew, and he didn't treat anyone harshly, so he couldn't blame others for not being pregnant, but she could only blame her for not living up to expectations.

Wang Qidao: "Take your time, everything will happen. Now Zhen'er will take more care of business matters. But you, don't worry too much. The business that should be arranged should be delegated."

Mi Zhen said: "I understand."

Wang Qi accompanied the two girls and said something about paying attention to their health, and he got up and left.After all, it was the end of November, and the weather was getting colder, and now that it involved the war at the beginning of spring, he needed to take care of it, so he went to get busy.

In one day, the news that the princess Zhao Yuyan was pregnant spread throughout the Qi State.

Countless officials were all cheering.

Because Zhao Yuyan is pregnant, it proves that Qi State has an heir, and Qi State can pass on.

Chapter 732 Qi Changsheng's Prestige

The weather in Wa country in December is getting colder.

It's just that Wa Kingdom is located in the southern region, especially the location of the Eastern Capital of the Wa Kingdom, and it is also in the south of the entire Wa Kingdom. Even in winter, there is no snow. Although the weather is cold, it is not icy cold.

In the palace, Emperor Shotoku sat on his knees with a solemn expression.

Below, sat Akabane Tsunaaki and Uesugi Hoshihide, who had just returned with their team.Originally, according to the normal voyage, he should be able to return half a month ago, but it was delayed at sea for some time, and after landing and docking, after entering the country of Wa, the speed of the journey was affected, and he only came back now.

Emperor Shotoku's age is actually not as upright as Abe's.It's just that he looks older.

During this period of time, the shogunate's actions were getting bigger and bigger, and it was constantly weakening the power of the royal family. He was so anxious that he turned gray in a short time.With silver hair, he looked even more tired.

Emperor Shotoku has been controlled all his life, and has always been the puppet of Abe Kiyoshi.But Emperor Shotoku was not satisfied with this. He hoped to change the situation, and even more hoped to solve the danger for his son.

Under the forbearance plan of Emperor Shotoku, there are Akabane Tsunaaki and others around him.

Emperor Shotoku looked at Akabane Tsunaaki and asked, "Akabane-kun, tell me about the situation of this trip."

Akabane Tsunaaki went directly to the topic, and quickly talked about the general situation of the mission to Qi.After explaining all the situation, Akabane Tsunaaki said: "The emperor, the crown prince has the full power to decide the matter."
