The strongest Marquis in history

In more than a month, the news of the imperial examination has spread, and countless scholars in the entire Daqi territory are boiling.

Because the imperial court openly selects talents through imperial examinations.

This is opportunity.

After all, the selection criteria, whether they are old or young, whether they are from poor families or from aristocratic families, as long as they can read and write, and have the ability to learn, anyone can participate.

In a short period of time, countless people from all over the state of Qi were excited, and gradually many people gathered in Chang'an.

Du Can is also advancing rapidly on the construction of the Academy.With the support of the six ministers, the order was issued to all states and counties, and local governments are preparing for the academy.

No one dared to resist, because once they resisted, not only the imperial court would deal with it, but also the Intelligence Bureau and the Supervision Department would watch over it. At that time, they might be dismissed from office, or even accused of crimes, so this matter is still advancing for the time being.Although it is relatively slow, at least it is still advancing.

Wang Qi is also quite busy, after all, there are too many government affairs.Even though there are six ministers, there are still many memorials that need to be reviewed for the things sent to him.

On this day, when Wang Qi was busy, a servant entered the hall and reported: "Your Majesty, Zhou Shangshu is asking to see you."

"Xuan!"

Wang Qi gave an order.

The servant went to deliver the order, and after a while, Zhou Zishan hurried in.

After Zhou Zishan stood still, he bowed to Wang Qi and said, "Your Majesty!"

Wang Qi nodded, and Zhou Zishan immediately said: "Your Majesty, I'm here today to discuss the imperial examination. According to the scheduled plan, the unified imperial examination will be held at the end of the year, so that scholars from all over the world can participate in the examination." Gather to Chang'an."

"There must be countless people participating in this event. I estimate that there will be thousands of people at least, and tens of thousands at most. Even after the world is in turmoil, there will be fewer scholars, but there will definitely be such people."

"After more and more people flood into Chang'an, many people may not be able to survive."

"Living in Chang'an is not an easy task. If there are a few people, that's all. But there are too many people, so the minister's consideration is whether to open the post house in a short time for the scholars who want to take the scientific examination Rest, and then provide meals to ensure that they have three meals a day."

Zhou Zishan said: "After all, there are so many people here, it's hard to survive, and they must be resettled."

After Wang Qi heard it, he thought about it carefully.

Zhou Zishan's idea is good, but when it comes to such a matter, it is not easy to arrange it.Because the operability is troublesome, it is too easy to confuse the real thing, and it is too easy to make the lineup huge.

Kindness is kindness.

It's just that it's not easy to operate.

Zhou Zishan said: "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong?"

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "Nowadays, there is no way to count the imperial examination scholars involved. In addition, once your news is released, there will be countless people flocking to take advantage of it. This is one of my concerns. Or, there are still a few months before the selection of the imperial examination, and it is not easy to arrange 1 people, and it is definitely not appropriate to leave it in the posthouse."

Zhou Zishan also fell silent. He knew that there were too many people, which made the situation complicated.

It's just that he himself came from a poor family.

Zhou Zishan is well aware of the plight of poor families. He doesn't want so many poor families to have no choice.

Wang Qi thought for a while and said, "Well, I will offer a plan."

Zhou Zishan said: "Your Majesty, please tell me."

He cheered up at once. For him, he hoped that more poor scholars would have a good future.He hoped that many talented poor scholars would have a better future.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Zishan actively promotes the imperial examination, even though the advancement of this matter is actually not easy.But at the moment, he is advancing without hesitation.

Wang Qi said: "There is no need for the post house. Just set up a camp outside the city and let the soldiers in the army take charge. All the scholars who come to participate in the scientific examination can go to the camp to rest."

"For all the rest tents in the camp, there are ten bunks in one tent, and ten people live there. In this way, even if there are tens of thousands of people, there are only one or two thousand tents."

"As for the three meals a day, soldiers from the cooking squad in the army will be dispatched to take charge. The most basic food is there to ensure that they will not go hungry. "

Wang Qidao: "This is a basic arrangement, what do you think?"

Zhou Zishan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and said: "Your Majesty, although the unified arrangement in the army is a little bit poor, it is good enough for all the scholars. With this arrangement, at least all the soldiers sons, are enough to settle."

Wang Qidao: "For this matter, you can directly coordinate with Zhuge Feng and send troops to set up camp tents outside the city."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhou Zishan heaved a sigh of relief.

When it comes to the imperial examination this time, Zhou Zishan has gone all out.He spends almost most of his time in the office, and sometimes even sleeps directly in the office.

After all, it was the first time for the imperial examination, and he had to check and deal with everything.

Too many things made him very tired.

Looking at Zhou Zishan's tired expression, Wang Qi said, "Zishan, you still need to pay attention to rest. The imperial examination is very important, but your body is also important. There is still some time before the imperial examination. Don't worry, take your time."

Zhou Zishan said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I'm fine, I can hold on."

"Report!"

At this moment, another servant hurried in and reported: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is giving birth. The woman Wen in the harem said that the amniotic fluid has broken and she is delivering the baby."

"Understood, I'm going right now."

Wang Qi stood up, looked at Zhou Zishan and said, "Zishan, you are busy with your work, I am going to the harem first."

"Yes!"

Zhou Zishan also stood up, and when he walked out of the hall, he looked in the direction of the harem.Because the current situation in the court depends on Mi Zhen's current birth, whether the child will be a son or a daughter.

If it is a daughter, it will naturally have no influence. The position of the crown prince is as stable as Mount Tai, and it will not have any influence.If it was a son, even if the son was not born by the empress, there would still be some disturbances.

have considerable influence on the future.

After all, Mi Zhen's elder brother, Mi Huang, is the Minister of the Household Department, and Mi Zhen is also deeply loved by Wang Qi.

Zhou Zishan shook his head, got up and left. He didn't need to think about these things for the time being.

He just obeyed Wang Qi's arrangement.

Wang Qi rushed to the Yonghe Palace in the harem, and waited quietly.Mi Zhen's childbirth is still the same as Zhao Yuyan's, crying hysterically, giving birth is never an easy task.

Wang Qi waited quietly, although Wang Qi already had the experience of being a father once.But now, he is still quite nervous, still looking forward to the arrival of the second little life under his knee.

Time passed by little by little, amidst Mi Zhen's screams, suddenly, a loud cry came out from the room, and Wang Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

It can be regarded as born.

Wang Qi waited for a while, and a stable woman came out first and reported: "Your Majesty, the mother and daughter are safe, and the imperial concubine gave birth to a princess."

"Rewards, all rewards."

After Wang Qi heard it, he was very happy.

He waited for the inside to be cleaned up before entering the room. At this time, Mi Zhen was sweating profusely and was very tired.Fortunately, she exercises well on weekdays. Although she is very tired, she is in good spirits.

Wang Qi leaned in front of the child and teased the child.The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. After all, it was his father's little padded jacket. After playing with it for a while, the nanny took it away.

Wang Qi walked in front of Mi Zhen and said: "Zhen'er, thank you for your hard work."

Mi Zhen said: "The concubine does not work hard."

She noticed Wang Qi's expression, and she was relieved to see that Wang Qi liked the child very much.

Although she gave birth to a daughter, Mi Zhen didn't think there was anything wrong with it, she was still young, and it's not like she couldn't give birth to a child.It's just that she doesn't want to have a son yet, and it would be nice to have a daughter.

Mi Zhen said: "Your Majesty, what name should the child choose?"

Wang Qi was very happy, and said directly: "Well, it's called Wang Jin. Huai Jin holds Yu, and the word Jin is appropriate."

Mi Zhen said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Wang Qi said with a smile: "You just gave birth to a child, you should pay more attention to your body. If you don't pay attention at this time, you will have the root cause of the disease. This month, take good care of yourself."

Listening to Wang Qi's concerned words, Mi Zhen nodded with warmth in her heart.

Wang Qi ordered: "Come here!"

The accompanying eunuchs entered and stood bowed.

Wang Qidao: "I am happy to have an eldest daughter, and Qi Guo is happy to have an eldest princess. I will send an order to amnesty the world, and congratulate Qi Guo."

"According to the order!"

The eunuch got the order and turned around to make arrangements.

After Mi Zhen heard it, she felt more at ease, because Wang Qi's actions showed Wang Qi's love for the child.

She talked with Wang Qi for a while, then fell asleep exhausted.After all, it took too much energy to give birth to a child, and now she has no energy, so she fell asleep soon.

Wang Qi got up and left, returning to the palace to handle government affairs.

The news spread to Zhao Yuyan's palace in the harem, she is now full moon, she is recovering well, and her spirit is very good.Hearing that Mi Zhen gave birth to a daughter, Zhao Yuyan was also relieved.

Mi Zhen gave birth to a daughter, and the relationship between her and Mi Zhen will remain the same, and the relationship between the two will not be affected because of the child's problems, nor will they have to stand in line because of the child's status.

Zhao Yuyan immediately arranged for people to prepare various gifts, and then took them to Yong'an Palace.

On the other side, news of Mi Zhen spread throughout the court.

Some officials were relieved, and some officials sighed. As for Mi Huang, when he got the news in the household deployment office, he had an unconcealable disappointment on his face.If Mi Zhen's son is not the eldest son, he can still fight for it.

Throughout the dynasties, the prince may not end well.Many princes were pulled down, but Mi Zhen gave birth to a daughter, which caused all of Mi Huang's thoughts to completely dissipate.

There is simply no way to fight.

"This is life!"

Mi Huang's heart seemed quite disappointed.

He wants to fight.

The problem is that God didn't give him this chance, and now Mi Huang can only sigh.

Following the birth of Wang Jin, the court hall was bustling again.However, after the news spread, the Qi State gradually returned to calm, and production continued to resume. At the same time, local adjustments were also slowly fine-tuned.

Everything stabilized.

Then, it is also developing rapidly.

Chapter 784 Seizing Hanzhong

Hanzhong County, Nanzheng County.

This is a large county in the north of Shu.

The sheriff of Hanzhong County, named Zhang Shenong, is the elder brother of Shu Emperor Zhang Tianyi.Zhang Shengong is around forty years old, quite burly and strong, his martial arts are not bad, and he is also a master of the master realm.

The original Zhang Shen Palace was a tiger general under Zhang Tianyi's command.After Zhang Tianyi became emperor, he dispatched Zhang Shenong to Hanzhong as the prefect of Hanzhong, and at the same time served as the general of Zhenbei.

Zhang Shenong itself has two duties.

With a grasp of military affairs, he is like an emperor in Hanzhong County.

In the beginning, Zhang Shengong was quite vigilant, and was also worried that the Northern Zhou Dynasty would send troops to kill him.Only one or two years later, Da Zhou didn't care about Shuzhong at all, so Zhang Shengong relaxed his vigilance.

Gradually, Zhang Shengong was also swallowed up by the luxury and gold fans in Hanzhong.He didn't work hard like before, but he was intoxicated in the gentleness and couldn't extricate himself.

Zhang Shengong's negligence in government affairs also led to the fragmentation of local officials and harsh treatment of the people.

Hanzhong County gradually became chaotic.

It's just that no one dared to rebel, and the lives of the local people became more and more difficult.

Zhang Shengong never cared about all of this.A person who has lost his fighting spirit by Ruanrou Township also lost his fighting spirit and even more his patience. Instead, for the sake of money, Zhang Shengong set up many exorbitant taxes without authorization to grab money under various guises.

In addition, because he is good at womanizing, he searched for beautiful women wantonly in the local area, which caused complaints from the common people.

This is the general situation of Hanzhong County in the Kingdom of Shu.

When Wang Zongxi entered Hanzhong County, he learned about the situation in Hanzhong County and felt unhappy.It is true that there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings, because the land of Bashu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the little emperor has no strength, so the state of Shu has always been like this.

The life of the people is too hard.

With Wang Zongxi's strength, it would be easy for him to assassinate Zhang Shenong.However, Wang Zongxi did not go, because he assassinated Zhang Shenong, and he alone could not change the situation in Hanzhong County.

Wang Zongxi's idea is very simple. He first established a foothold in Hanzhong County, established a sect to gather the people, and formed a force.Then, understand the basic situation of Hanzhong County so that you can act with confidence.

So Wang Zongxi went to the northwest border of Nanzheng County, near the direction of Jigu, and established a sect on the mountain called Qiwang Pavilion, and he was the owner of the pavilion.The accompanying dozen or so personal guards were the disciples of Qi Wang Pavilion.

After Wang Zongxi established the Qiwang Pavilion, in a short period of time, he wiped out the surrounding bandits, and even brought some small groups of martial arts forces in the surrounding area into the control of the Qiwang Pavilion.

Afterwards, Wang Zongxi directly dealt with the Raksha Gang in the north of Nanzheng County.This gang monopolized officialdom, robbed money, and even went down the mountain to plunder the people.

In the whole of Hanzhong, the Raksha Gang has a very bad reputation and is extremely bad.
