The strongest Marquis in history

Mi Huang is not powerful, but relatively speaking, he is actually powerful, after all, he is a member of the cabinet.It's just that he didn't meet Mi Huang's psychological expectations, so he felt a little unwilling, and came to her specifically, hoping that she would come forward.

Mi Zhen said indifferently: "Brother, you are still the same old way. In the final analysis, it is for power. I have been advising you not to go too far for power. It is inappropriate. You will end up harming yourself."

"I hurt myself?"

When Mi Huang heard it, he immediately became angry.

He stood up quickly, looked down at Mi Zhen, and shouted: "Little sister, without my painstaking management, would the Mi family have what it is today? Without my planning, you could become His Majesty's man? Without my management, you Can it be so safe?"

Mi Zhen's eyes also gradually turned cold.

Mi Huang's words made her very disappointed, she was not a woman who was raised in a deep boudoir.

She and Zhao Yuyan run a business together, and they are used to the wind and rain, and they have also seen countless people with strong winds and waves, and even seen the ugly faces of countless people, so Mi Zhen's expression is very calm.

With a faint smile on Mi Zhen's face, she said in a deep voice, "Brother, you made a mistake."

"what's up?"

Mi Huang had a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

Mi Zhen said: "If it wasn't for me, when you were Minister of the Household Department, you formed a party for personal gain and excluded others. This matter should have been dealt with. In the end, it is only because you entered the cabinet and did not become the cabinet's second assistant. If you don’t have the household department, you’ve just been cut off part of your authority.”

"If it wasn't for me, you would have been kicked out a long time ago in the cabinet for fighting Zhu Shoufu repeatedly. This time the cabinet was reshuffled, you have been hindering Zhu Shoufu in the matter of the train, and even wooed Liu Zhengyuan."

"If it wasn't for me, you would have been kicked out."

"Do you still think that you are ruthless?"

"Don't think that I don't know anything. There is nothing new about the affairs of the court, and there is no impenetrable wall. Many things are not new, and they are all about fighting for power and profit."

Mi Zhen talked eloquently, and when she stared at Mi Huang with her sharp eyes, Mi Huang felt a little uneasy and timid at this moment, even in her heart.

His aura was actually suppressed by Mi Zhen.

Mi Zhen took a deep breath, and said again: "You think that you rely on yourself for everything. But look at the achievements you have made in these years. Except for the early years, Qi State needs a stable household department. You The account management department is very good.”

"In these years, apart from dragging your feet and gaining power, what else are you left with?"

"If you do things in a down-to-earth manner, it is easy for you to become the second assistant to the cabinet. Why is Zhu Shoufu not moving at all in the position of the first assistant in the cabinet? Even, His Majesty has always relied on Zhu Shoufu. So much so that the cabinet has some restrictions on Zhu Shoufu People, Your Majesty directly eliminates the unstable factors and creates a stable environment for Zhu Shoufu."

Mi Zhen said: "Because Zhu Shoufu has always been impartial and selfless in his work, and he always regards the future of the Great Qi Kingdom. What about you? What have you done these years?"

brush!

Mi Huang's expression changed again and again.

He didn't expect that he came to question aggressively, but in the end, the result was like this. He was speechless when he was questioned by his little sister.

Mi Zhen said: "Brother, when a person reaches a high position, what needs to be considered is to control one's desires and keep one's own heart. But you can't do this, not only that, but you For the sake of power, you have been constantly seeking profit. You are not suitable for officialdom, especially not for the cabinet."

Mi Huang smashed his mouth, the expression on his face was very embarrassing.

He hesitated.

He wanted to speak, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.

Only then did Mi Zhen sigh, and said: "Brother, you are the helm of the Mi family. You are also the backbone of the Mi family. For the Mi family, power already exists. If you want to pursue more, You can only ask for it. There are many pursuits in a person's life. I hope you can jump out and don't be blinded by power."

Mi Huang laughed out loud.

It seemed a little crazy.

"I've been sloppy and calculated all my life. In the end, the persuasion I got was not to be fooled by power."

"Absurd, really absurd."

"Without power, how can there be other things?"

"That's it, that's it."

Mi Huang shook his head, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said with a flick of his sleeves, "You take your single-plank bridge, and I will cross my Yangguan Road."

He just left.

Watching Mi Huang leave, Mi Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.Compared with Mi Huang now, it is better to be a little lonely than to die in the officialdom in the future.

Mi Zhen sighed.

This, perhaps, is the best ending.

Not long after Mi Huang left, Zhao Yuyan came back, she looked at Mi Zhen with red eyes, and said, "Sister, but what happened, do you need my help?"

"It's all right."

Mi Zhen shook her head and said: "Sister, it's all about the officialdom. It's a good thing that elder brother doesn't get involved now, lest he get involved, and it will hurt me instead."

Zhao Yuyan nodded.

She didn't ask too much, it was the Mi family's business after all.

Zhao Yuyan directly changed the topic, and talked with Mi Zhen about the business channels that need to be changed now, and the two returned to the topic, discussing the continued expansion of business.

Chapter 964

Time passed, and it entered June in a blink of an eye, and the weather gradually became hotter.

By mid-to-late June, news had been sent back from the Western Regions that the war was completely over, and Xiao Qingzhi returned to the court with his troops and returned to Chang'an to sit in command.

The army rests, the pension of the pension, the reward of the reward.Especially this time when the army returned, it brought back a large number of fresh troops from the Western Regions, all of which were included in the Qi State.

At the same time, the construction of cement roads and train tracks is also in full swing.

Earth-shaking changes have taken place in the entire country of Qi, just like a real revolution.

Wang Qi knows that the current changes are the beginning of a real feudal society and stepping into the future modern society. As for where the future will go, Wang Qi doesn't care too much, let's wait and see.

What Wang Qi has to do now is to avoid the emergence of capitalists who eat people, so that the whole society will become more stable and excessive.

This is what Wang Qi has to do.

Fortunately, in this regard, the cabinet headed by Zhu Shanchang has done an excellent job.

Wang Qi doesn't need to worry about anything.

During this time, Wang Qi also visited between Chang'an and Luoyang, walking around and looking around.Because these places are related to the places where roads are to be built, and they are related to issues that the people may raise.

The so-called road construction will hurt the dragon veins, Feng Shui and so on.

Wang Qi went down to inspect and visit in person, just to put an end to all this, so that the local road construction can proceed smoothly.

Everything is developing for the better.

Everything is progressing steadily.

It's just that there are good and bad, because there are still too many shortcomings in the whole country of Qi.Although the current strength of Qi State is relatively strong, there are still many poor people in the remote areas of Qi State.

These people are hiding in the deep mountains and old forests.

At the same time, in Qi, it is still difficult to communicate information, and there are still too many people who are oppressed at the local level. This requires the government to investigate the local area and further clean up the officialdom.

Wang Qi was not satisfied with all of this.

Leaving aside, just talk about education. Although it has been advancing, in fact until now, education has not been able to completely eliminate illiteracy, and there are too many people who have not read.

This is a big deal.

Wang Qi could only inform Zhu Shanchang to mobilize the Ministry of Rites and try his best to arrange it.Wang Qi knew better that it is impossible to eat a big fat man in one bite, and this cannot be changed for the time being.

What Wang Qi can do is to develop Qi State as much as possible and create a good environment for Qi State to reform.

Everything, take your time.

As long as it's getting better a little bit, it's right.

On this day, when Wang Qi was reviewing government affairs in the palace, a servant came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Zhu Shoufu is asking to see you."

"pass!"

Wang Qi gave an order.

The servant went to summon him, and after a while, Zhu Shanchang hurried into the hall.

Zhu Shanchang bowed and said: "Your Majesty."

Wang Qi nodded and ordered someone to give him a seat. After Zhu Shanchang sat down, he reported: "Your Majesty, something happened in the local area. The situation is a bit special. I come to ask Your Majesty to make a decision."

"what's up?"

Wang Qi asked.

Zhu Shanchang said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, since the beginning of summer this year, the entire Guanzhong area has been quite dry, and there is almost little rain. Under this situation, it still has some impact on the grain in the entire Guanzhong. Of course, potatoes are more durable. Drought, if you say how big the impact is, it may not be clear for the time being."

"Now it's just early summer, and it's normal that it won't rain for a while."

"The problem lies in the locality, especially in the area between Chang'an and Luoyang, but there is some public opinion."

"Originally, His Majesty inspected the area and unified his thinking. The people in the area are no longer opposed to the construction of roads and railways. No one hinders them, and they all go all out to build railways and cement roads."

"But now, there are rumors suddenly. It is said that the reason for the drought in Guanzhong this year is because of the construction of cement roads and railways, which made the heavens angry."

"As soon as the rumors came out, the entire Guanzhong area was in an uproar."

"A lot of people actually came out to make trouble. Some even came out to make trouble secretly after dark."

"As a result, many places have already been completed, but because of the troubles of the people, problems have arisen. Some railways that have been built need to be reworked. In short, the situation is not optimistic."

There was also a look of helplessness on Zhu Shanchang's face.Originally, the advancement of this matter was going smoothly, but now, it was suddenly blocked, and everything was very difficult to arrange.

People's hearts are like water, and they are calm on weekdays, without any waves.However, once the hearts of the people become violent, it will be a violent storm, which will inevitably set off huge waves.

This can have a huge impact.

The hearts of the people in Guanzhong were stirred up, and the local construction naturally did not go smoothly.

Wang Qi's face was cold and serious, and he said in a deep voice: "Have you ever investigated this incident clearly?"

Zhu Shanchang said in a deep voice: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister has made arrangements and is doing his best to investigate. However, based on the information collected so far, it can be concluded that the disturbance in the local area is organized and premeditated."

"According to the current intelligence bureau and the investigation of the files of the local Shangguan government, the area from Chang'an to Luoyang has been dry and rainless. After May [-]th, rumors appeared in various places, saying that the reason why it did not rain , the reason why it has been dry is because of the construction of railways and cement roads in the local area."

"In short, the emergence of this situation was premeditated."

"I have already invited Director Chen of the Intelligence Bureau, and I have also sent an order to arrange officials from various places to investigate the news carefully. I believe that within three days at most, there will be a detailed decision."

"It's just that in the future, once it is found out, I plan to deal with this matter severely, and kill chickens and monkeys. Because after the road section from Chang'an to Luoyang is repaired, the rest of the place will be built next."

Zhu Shanchang said: "If you don't stop this trend, it will be difficult to implement it in the future."

boom! !

Suddenly, there was a clap of thunder.

Wang Qi raised his head to look outside at this time, but saw that the outside of the main hall was already dark.The line of sight in the main hall was also somewhat affected by this.

Boom! !

There was lightning and thunder, and suddenly there was a gust of wind.

Wang Qi stood up, and when he walked to the entrance of the main hall, he saw the dark clouds gathering in the sky, and the flashing thunder. With the rumbling thunder, a moment later, it began to rain.

This rain came extremely urgently, and it was a torrential downpour.

The pouring rain fell, and the water splashed everywhere.

Looking at the heavy rain, Wang Qi said with a bright smile on his face, "This rain came too timely. When this rain falls, all problems will naturally be solved."

"Rumors in the local area are nothing to be afraid of. But the source of the rumors must be found out. I agree with your proposal. This time, you must be severely punished. If you don't punish severely, it will be difficult to prevent similar situations in the future. .”

Zhu Shanchang said: "I understand the humble job."

Wang Qi suddenly said: "Zhu Qing, since you are here now, I will talk about other things."

Zhu Shan said: "Your Majesty, please show me."

Wang Qi said: "Now the country, as well as the surrounding areas, have stabilized and are still being governed in an orderly manner. After the army has rested, it is now possible to fight again. Here, I am already preparing to conquer the Japanese kingdom personally. .”

In Wang Qi's heart, he has long wanted to go to war.

After destroying the Wa country, the unprecedented unification of the Qi country expanded the strength of the Qi country to the strongest.Of course, the current territory of the Qi State is actually much, much worse than the territory of the Hercynian Empire today.

But Wang Qi has full self-confidence, he believes that defeating the Haixi Empire will not be too difficult.

As soon as Zhu Shanchang heard Wang Qi's words, he solemnly said: "Your Majesty wants to conquer the Wa Kingdom, and I have no objection. In addition, I implore Your Majesty, after arriving in the south, even if you go to sea, don't rush to land in the Wa Kingdom for the time being. After the King of Wa is captured, Your Majesty will come back again." It's not too late to land. After all, the Wa country also has artillery fire, and I'm worried that the fight will hurt His Majesty."
