The King of Qi was not a fool. After hearing the words of Empress Zhou, he suddenly realized: With the cultivation of my father, if I wanted to kill me, it would be a blink of an eye! Besides, the father is so wise and powerful, how could he not see the behind-the-scenes pusher? He must have been concerned about the reactions of the ministers and treated me like this!
In this section, King Qi felt very calm, but in order to cooperate with his father, he continued to pretend to be sad.
The mother of the King of Song, namely Concubine Xiao, cried several times: My son Ah! Suddenly, his eyes turned over and fainted. King Song quickly supported his mother, but saw Concubine Xiao lying in his arms and blinking slightly. King Song and her mother and son were connected to each other and immediately came over. He kept silent and stopped saying anything about the two kings of Qi and Jin.
Huangfu Wuji shouted: Please pass on the imperial doctor quickly and treat Concubine Xiao quickly!
The imperial concubine was in a coma, and the ministers were not good at staying in the palace anymore, and they retreated one after another
The King of Qi and Empress Zhou said a few words. Concubine Xiao must take care of her. We must find out the murderer's polite words, bowed to Huangfu Wuji a few times, and then retreated.
After leaving the imperial study room, Queen Zhou's pretty face frosted and snorted coldly: The bitch named Xiao is so cunning, she actually knows how to pretend to be stupid and die!
The King of Qi said in surprise: Why did the Queen Mother say this?
Empress Zhou raised her head lightly, and the bead hairpin on her head swayed slightly, and she sneered: The bitch saw that His Majesty had no intention of punishing the emperor. If she pressed her against him again, she would only anger the emperor. So she pretended to be too sad and unconscious. To put it bluntly, she wanted to find a way for herself, not only not offend the emperor, but also showed the pain of losing her son in front of the ministers, and suddenly put herself in a position of being a pity, which brought a lot of sympathy!
King Qi nodded and said: That's true
Empress Zhou said: Zheng'er, no matter what the purpose of the black hand killed the King of Jin, in short, the conflict between you and the King of Song is inevitable now. This imperial examination is the key to the position of crown prince. You must not only let the emperor see your talents, but also make the ministers admire the outstanding literary talent of the Song King, who is still above the two kings of Tai and Jin. In addition to Concubine Xiao's scheming and the support of the Confucian scholar, you must not take it lightly.
The King of Qi responded and then left the palace
The underground palace secret room of Jiuyao Taoist Temple, the demon tribes hidden in it have begun to become busy and have begun to collect and analyze the information on the imperial examinations. Long Hui and Chu Wanbing and his wife screened out useful information from these thousands of files.
Long Hui was holding a piece of information obtained from Cui Die, which contained the name of the person who recorded the imperial examination.
The file in Chu Wanbing's hand is the detailed background of these scientific scholars and warriors. These are valuable information that Cui Die used the power of the Cui family to find from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel to use the power of the Cui family to find from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel.
Chu Wanbing stretched and acted coquettishly at Long Hui: Little thief, his shoulders are sore and swelling...
Long Hui understood it and hurriedly rubbed her shoulders and backs, serving her attentively, making Chu Wanbing smile like a flower and sweet heart
Long Hui said softly: Bing'er, sleep for a while, leave it to me here.
Chu Wanbingni said: Okay, I'm not sleepy, let's look for it carefully, maybe we can find the chess piece of Lu Fengluan.
When Lu Luan and Luo Qingyan were betting, Long Hui guessed that Lu Luan might have trained excellent literati and martial artists, and these literati and martial artists were on this list. Otherwise Lu Luan would not have been so arrogant about gambling. So the so-called guessing the top scorer was actually just the process of her holding her subordinates on the gold list.
So Long Hui asked Cui Die to collect all the reference personnel's information and infer them one by one from them. He hoped to find Lu Luneng's chess piece. As long as he could clarify the goal, he would remove it by any means. In this way, Luo Qingyan could not guess, and Lu Luneng could not guess. The same draw ended, so he could force Luneng to fight for life and death in the armed battle.
The best strategy is to find the chess piece and remove it
But it is not easy to find the target from these hundreds of literati and warriors, so we have a Zhongshou to find a material that can be made from these people and push them to the gold list with all our might. As for the worst strategy, let Long Hui find an opportunity to surrender to Lu Luan, and silence the people who know the secrets of the demon clan one by one, cutting off the root of Lu Luan threatening the demon queen. But this strategy is also the most dangerous. First, I don’t know how many people Lu Luan told the secret. Once there is a fish that leaks the net, the list of demon clans will be announced in the world. Second, Long Hui’s soul has not yet recovered at this moment. If Lu Luan sees the cat trick for Lu Luan, there will be a danger of the soul breaking.
Chu Wanbing sighed: No, let’s hurry up and find more clues. The bet has not been spread yet. Except for the core figures in the clan, the other demon clans are not aware of it. However, when Lu Luan seals the top scholar’s name into the Kuangshan Ancestral Temple, we will be even more passive!
Long Huiqi said: What is unique about this ancestral temple?
Chu Wanbing sighed: The ancestral temple enshrines the demon clans of all generations. Once the gate of the ancestral temple is opened, it is equivalent to alarming the ancestral spirit position. The demons in the world will have a sense of it. At that time, the bet between my mother and her will spread all over the demons!
Long Hui suddenly realized: In other words, in addition to some core members, there are also some tribe members in the demon clan who are looking for the grove.
Chu Wanbing nodded and said: That's right, Lu Luan was able to make trouble because of these people. After his mother successfully quelled the rebellion, she did not investigate Lu Luan's deployment in the past in order to preserve the vitality of the demon clan. She just decomposed their power and gradually drove it to the periphery. Once the bet was reported, Lu Luan's old subordinates would likely respond to her.
Long Hui said: Why not wait until the name is sealed into the ancestral temple, and then I will steal the envelope of Lu Fengluan to peek into its secrets. Wouldn't this be done once and for all?
Chu Wanbing sighed: This is absolutely impossible. The demon clan has a secret technique that is specially used to preserve secrets. Lu Luan can seal the envelope with its own essence and blood. If someone dares to act rashly, the envelope will be automatically burned, and all demons in the world will focus their attention on the ancestral temple. If you are not careful, your mother's prestige will be greatly damaged. Lu Lu Luan can join hands with his old subordinates to make trouble.
Long Hui sighed: There are not a thousand or eight hundred names here. You can't kill all these people. Lu Fengluan's move is cruel. Now I see everyone like her subordinates. It is difficult to tell whether the real or false is true. It makes us run away. I think that woman is drinking tea while laughing at our embarrassment at the moment. Chu Wanbing snorted: I will definitely not let her go!
Long Hui thought for a moment and said: Bing'er, have you ever thought about why Lu Luan is so sure to guess the top scorer? You know, the top scorer in this exam was a carp leaping over the dragon gate, and millions of talents squeezed their heads just to get the gold list, but there was only one top scorer. The intensity of this is probably not under the bloody battle of Fengdu. In my opinion, Lu Luan's already has a way to win.
Chu Wanbing said strangely: Little thief, what have you seen?
Long Hui said: In terms of literary top scholar, Lu Luan is probably able to get the test questions with her talent, and knowing the test questions in advance, it is easy to stand out.
Chu Wanbing said: There are two parts: written test and palace examination in the liberal arts examination. Even if you steal the test questions, you can only pass the written test. Huangfu Wuji personally checked the palace examination. Can Lu Luan guess what questions Huangfu Wuji is going to ask in advance?
Long Hui smiled and said: This is not necessary! There are very few people who have passed the written test in the past years. As long as Lu Luan uses the mysterious magic technique to control the minds of these people before the palace examination, so that they can perform abnormally during the palace examination, then this top scholar in Wen is not her possession!
Chu Wanbing suddenly realized and frowned and said: By analogy, during the martial arts competition, Lu Luan can also control those powerful warriors. After all, there are not many people who can resist this mysterious magic trick!
Long Hui stretched out and said: Bing'er, let's go out for a walk, this underground palace is so breathless!
Chu Wanbing said oh, took her husband's hand and walked to the ground. Before leaving, she called Riliyi
After leaving the secret passage, the three of them happened to be on the back mountain of Jiuyao Taoist Temple. Long Hui said: Binger, Ribbon, although this best strategy is good, it may not be implemented. It is better to arrange the middle strategy first and make a back-up preparation. Let’s follow this list to see those scholars who can be created, and it is also easy to cultivate them to fight against the Lu Luan.
Lianyi said: It just so happened that this Jiuyao Taoist Temple has many scholars who are taking the exam. Why don’t we start here?
Chu Wanbing exclaimed and said with a smile: Little thief, do you still remember the three sour scholars I mentioned last time? They also live here, so you might as well take a look at them.
Long Hui responded and sneaked into the front yard of Taoist temple with two girls.
The people living here are all scholars with no power. It is very easy for the three of them to hide their whereabouts and go to see the situation of the candidates one by one.
After seeing a few scholars, Lianyi couldn't help but sigh: These scholars have lived a very hard life, and their clothes have been broken for several holes, so they are reluctant to change them. The needlework and thread will be repaired.
Chu Wanbing sighed and said: Most of the people living here are poor families, and their families are quite poor. They come to live because of the cheap rent of Jiuyao Taoist Temple. The children of rich people all sleep in the inns with high beds and soft beds. Who would like to squeeze into this broken and old Taoist temple.
After seeing several scholars, they felt that they were not very satisfied. Chu Wanbing suggested to see Xue Le and other three scholars. Maybe there would be unexpected surprises.
Long Hui also has a good impression of Xue Le, thinking that although this scholar is a bit dull, he is still a warm-hearted person in the ancient Taoist path.
When he arrived at the roof of Xue Le and the other three, Long Hui gently lifted the tiles and looked down. He saw two scholars holding books and reading them. Zhihuzhe blurted out, and Long Hui almost fainted when he heard it. Xue Le sat on the windowsill looking at the sky, counting the stars with his fingers, and muttered to himself: How many stars are there in the sky?
Long Hui couldn't help but laugh: Bing'er, that scholar is interesting. His companions are studying hard, but he still has the leisure to count the stars.
Chu Wanbing glanced into the room and saw Guo Fei and Zhang Ming with bitter faces, shaking their heads and reciting constantly, but Xue Le was happy to be free, and raised her head to count the stars, and lowered her head to draw pictures.
The things I painted were actually some confused ghost talismans, some looked like mountains, some looked like trees, and some looked like beasts, but these pictures of different shapes were composed of many ink dots.
Chu Wanbing said strangely: What exactly is this nerd drawing?
Long Hui smiled and said: What he drew was a star map. Such a dot represents a star. Then it was connected to the ink line and it became various patterns.
Chu Wanbing curled her lips and said: This scholar is too ignorant. He is not at ease when the scientific examination is approaching and can draw some strange things.
Suddenly, Guo Fei asked: Ziyi, I have a question to ask you
Xue Le put down his pen and looked back: I am ashamed to ask for advice, so I would like to make it clear.
Guo Fei frowned and said: If you encounter such a question during the exam, how should you answer the question?
Xue Le was slightly stunned and thought for a while and said: I can answer this aspect. First, although filial piety is a virtue of the heart of the people, a person's filial piety can never be popularized by others. Therefore, there are still many disobedient children in the world. Only by implanting filial piety into everyone's heart can everyone fulfill their filial piety. The elderly are the second to support themselves, and promote filial piety, so as to influence the world with benevolence, and to be ashamed of their elders and their elders.
Although Chu Wanbing has a good literary talent, she prefers to recite poems and lyrics. She also hates this kind of person the most. After hearing this, Xue Le almost didn't fall off the roof.
Suddenly, Xue Le sighed and said: Now that the Fengdu War is over, Fengjun and other counties have suffered disasters to varying degrees, and the people are displaced. Instead of discussing these things, it is better to think about how to comfort the victims and comfort the people as soon as possible.
After hearing these words, Long Hui gave a look at the two women and signaled that he could leave.
When he returned to the underground palace, Long Hui clapped his hands and said with a smile: I have gained a lot from traveling tonight!
Lianyi Qi said: Long Hui, have you found someone to support me?
Long Hui nodded and said: That's right, it's that Xue Le
Chu Wanbing asked: Although the scholar has a few drops of ink, he may not be the best candidate for the top scorer. Why don’t we ask Sister Die, and those literati have the strength to compete for the top scorer.
Long Hui shook his head and said: There is no need for the candidates provided by Sister Die must be from a wealthy family, but Huangfu Wuji has been trying to promote talents from poor families in recent years. These noble men may not be in line with the taste of this emperor.
Lianyi said with a hunch: That's true, there is Gao Hong first, and then Long Hui. Huangfu Wuji wanted to install some grassroots children in the court to disperse the influence of the wealthy families. Moreover, these poor scholars are much more controllable than those noble children.
Long Hui said: That's right, I chose Xue Le to cater to Huangfu Wuji's thoughts. This son is not only quick in literature, but also considers the current situation. He doesn't want other scholars to be able to talk big, and this is undoubtedly the talent Huangfu Wuji wants.
Chu Wanbing said: Then do you want to support Xue Ziyi?
Long Hui said: I'm going to see other wealthy families tomorrow. If there is no accident, Xue Le should be the one we guessed.
Lianyi said: Since Long Hui, you decided on Xue Le, I will explore the origins of these examiners tomorrow. However, how should this martial arts top scholar deal with it?
Long Hui said: I have asked Birou, Wuhen, Lingxiao, Feng Wangchen and others to go to the capital, and then act. Once a suspicious target is found, they will be intercepted in advance. They will never let Lu Luneng participate in the martial arts competition. If it is really not possible, they will make a big fuss on the school ground on the day of the competition. Lu Luneng can't get anything.
Chu Wanbing said: In addition to martial arts, the top martial artist also has military strategy theory. I believe the examiner should be from the military, and the King of Qi was just in charge of the martial arts, not the examiner.
Long Hui smiled and said: The examiner with absolute qualifications in the army is undoubtedly Yang Governor General, but Huangfu Wuji has already named him the king of the other surname, so he will not enter Beijing to be an examiner. There are two people worth noting, one is the veteran general of Tie Rushan, and the other is Qiu Baifei, who has the title of green face and fang. Both of them are generals whose prestige is only inferior to the general in the army. They are likely to be the chief examiner and deputy chief examiner.
After saying these words, Long Hui stretched out and said: I'll go to Pei's house for a walk. Don't wait for me to come back, go and rest first.
Chu Wanbing said: What are you going to do with the Pei family?
Long Hui said: Because Pei Haifeng left a last word Xiangyin is ominous! I think this Zhao Xiangyin is very likely to be related to Lu Luan. After all, the Zhao family sent a master who understood the magical powers of the demon clan to defeat Han Zhi. The Zhao Pei family and Luan cannot get rid of Lu Luan.
Chu Wanbing and Lianyi also wanted to go with her, but Long Hui insisted on not allowing her, and finally persuaded them to persuade them to stop.
Long Hui used the night to cover up and sneaked into the Guizhou Lane and sneaked into the Pei family's mansion. He used the dead wood Zen method to hide his mind, because the erectus phoenix could sense his incomplete soul. Although he didn't know how large her sensing range was, everything was more careful.
Long Hui first used Buddhist mental methods to hide his breath, and then used the demon clan's stealth technique to avoid the guards and took the main house of Pei's mansion.
The main house is the head of the family, and this place is the residence of Pei Guodong, the head of the Pei family. Long Hui used the spirit snake body technique to swim to the dark place, devoted himself to eavesdropping on the information inside the house.
Only heard Pei Guodong snorting angryly: It's so outrageous. I led the important officials of the cabinet to meet the emperor. I originally thought that the boy of King Qi could be nailed to death, but at the critical moment, I was rescued by Queen Zhou. It was really a waste of effort!
Long Hui became more and more shocked as he heard it, and thought to himself: In the past, the Pei family has always supported the King of Qi, and the relationship between the two parties was so cold that they could be said to have lost their lips and turned against each other. How could they turn against each other and kill each other without any mercy.
A delicate female voice sounded: Don't be angry, don't be angry
Pei Guodong said: Xiangyin, the prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach, so I won’t be angry about this little thing
Zhao Xiangyin nodded and asked timidly: Father-in-law, I don’t know if there is anything to ask about my wife or not.
The voice was soft and timid, like a fine needle that penetrated the bones, so glutinous and greasy that it was almost about to catch up with the Mixianyin. Even Long Hui entered into meditation with the Dead Wood Zen method, he almost wanted to agree to her request for Pei Guodong for her.
Pei Guodong laughed and said: Xiangyin, what's wrong, but it's okay, we are not outsiders
Zhao Xiangyin said oh and said: Daddy, have you always supported King Qi at first? Why have you now helped King Song?
Pei Guodong pondered for a moment and said: The King of Qi's civil and military skills, courage and skills are rare in a century. He can be called the best candidate for the crown prince. However, because he is too strong, if he ascends to the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future, the first thing he has to do is to consolidate his throne, and the Pei family is the first target to start the operation. He will try every means to weaken the strength of the Pei family. If that day comes, wouldn't we become the laughing stock of being removed from the tortoise? On the other hand, although King Song is not as talented as King Qi, he is a literati and has a humble temperament. The most important thing is that he does not have the courage and skills of King Qi, so he must rely on our old ministers as he ascends to the throne, which is not very threatening to the Pei family.
Long Hui was shocked when he heard this and thought to himself: Pei Guodong seemed despicable and shameless, but in fact he was smart and sophisticated, and what he said was very reasonable. With the courage and ambition of the King of Qi, if he reached the top, he would definitely have a drastic move, implement a new policy internally, and conquer the four barbarians externally. At this time, he would definitely have a conflict with these old ministers...
Zhao Xiangyin clapped and praised: My father-in-law is really unique in his eyes, Xiangyin admires him
Pei Guodong said: Xiangyin, I am not only looking at me, but also more things that cannot be hidden...
Zhao Xiangyin said in a silly voice: Father-in-law, you are so bad...
Haha... Xiangyin, it's late at night, let's take a break!
Long Hui was slightly stunned: It turned out that Pei Guodong was actually a slaughter. His son died young, so he and his wife were married...
But he is not surprised. This kind of thing is common in wealthy families, and there are also fathers and wives in the demon clan.
At this point, he didn't need to eavesdrop on: It's rare that Old Man Pei has such a good mood, so I won't disturb his dream of spring breeze. It's better to go to the Qi Palace to take a look.
Leaving Guizhou Lane and coming to Wangsun Lane, the Qi Palace is in the middle of the alley. The neighbors are all the mansions of his half-brothers, but these princes are far inferior to the King of Qi, so even the mansions of the houses are inferior. From a distance, the Qi Palace stands like a crane standing among the palaces of the princes.
This so-called standout flock does not refer to how grand the decoration of the Qi Palace is, but a kind of indescribable momentum. When it comes to decoration, the Qi Palace is not as magnificent as the surrounding royal palaces, but it has a calmness and simplicity that cleanses the desolation and simplicity. Long Hui knew that this was a kind of momentum that was born from people. The Qi Palace himself was amazing, so under the influence of his temperament, even the mansion had a more outstanding appearance.
There are not too many guards in the palace, but the sentry posts and night patrol soldiers are just right in the house.
Long Hui once served as a guard in the palace. He had a deep understanding of the guards of the palace. It was five steps per post, three steps per post, and you could see the soldiers inspecting as soon as you looked up. However, there was no such phenomenon in the Qi Palace. The family's personal soldiers were patrolling sparsely, but each person's position just formed a head and tail echo. This arrangement method is a bit more maneuverable and agile than the tight posts in the palace. You can quickly intercept the assassin, and retreat to protect the safety of the master.
Faced with this kind of loose outer and tight inner formation, it would be difficult to please Chu Wanbing. Fortunately, Long Hui was familiar with the layout of the military formation and was also carrying amazing martial arts, so he could hide these sentries.
Long Hui is not unfamiliar with the aura of King Qi. He just needs to calm down and notice where he is, so he went straight to the door.
Long Hui felt that King Qi was in the study at the moment, but just as there were more than thirty steps away from the study, a spring of Buddha power surged out and hit Long Hui's back.
Long Hui moved his footsteps and gently moved his side to avoid the attack. When he turned around and stared at him, he saw a monk pinched out a big handprint and called him.
It turned out to be the Venerable of Earth! How could there be no master guards around King Qi?
Long Hui was not surprised by the monk's appearance. He waved his sleeves and showed his flexible energy, and he removed all the Buddha's palms.
Just as Long Hui intercepted the attack of the Venerable Earth, he felt that two Buddha powers were brewing in the dark, and he calmed down and stared at it. It turned out to be the two Venerables of Kong and Feng.
Long Hui didn't want to get too entangled with them, so he spoke: The three masters have no malice, they just want to meet His Highness King Qi, and I hope the three masters don't make things difficult for them.
Master Kong saw Long Hui's appearance clearly and said with a little surprise: It turned out to be General Long, I wonder what is important to come late at night?
Long Hui returned the courtesy and said: I really have something to ask the King of Qi, and I would like to ask the masters to let go.
Venerable Kong said: We are instructed by Bodhisattva Weituo and Empress Zhou to ensure the safety of Your Highness. We did not intend to make things difficult for the general. I will go and say something to Your Highness.
These three Buddhas are not subordinates of King Qi, so they just said to tell His Highness, instead of reporting to His Highness
At this moment, the study door was opened with a whistle, and King Qi walked out and said: Brother Long, please come in!
Long Hui was not polite, so he walked into the Qi King's study room.
After the King of Qi welcomed Long Hui into the study, he practiced Buddhist principles to the three great venerables to express his gratitude.
When he entered the study, Long Hui said straight to the point: Are your highness doing well these days?
The King of Qi smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed: The death of King Jin has pointed all the spearheads at me, I am now in danger!
Long Hui said: How could such a trick to frame the emperor? Your Highness must be fine.
King Qi said: Although my father saw the vicious plan behind his back, the ministers below did not think so. Either they were stubborn scholars who spoke of benevolence and righteousness, they would severely punish me, a sinner who killed my brothers, or they would try their best to bring me down. Faced with such pressure, even if my father wanted to protect me, it would be very difficult.
Long Hui said calmly: Then look for the real murderer to prove his innocence!
King Qi smiled bitterly and said: This murderer is hidden very deeply, so it is not easy to find it!
Long Hui smiled slightly: This civil and military imperial examination is a good opportunity, and the behind-the-scenes champion will definitely take this opportunity to send his confidants to participate in the imperial examination to achieve fame and achieve the goal of infiltrating the court!
The King of Qi suddenly realized and clapped his hands and praised: Brother Long really woke up the dreamer with one word. The Haotian Sect intends to subvert Daheng, so this imperial examination is the best opportunity. Why didn’t I think of this before?
Long Hui smiled and said: Your Highness was just disturbed by trivial matters. As long as you calm down and think, you will definitely find a good plan.
The Qi Dynasty Long Hui thanked him: This time it is thanks to Brother Long's help.
Long Hui waved his hand and said: Your Highness, you don’t have to be polite. Long is asking for trouble this time.
King Qi said: Brother Long untied Xiao Wang's knot, and this kindness Xiao Wang will definitely be rewarded. I wonder what Brother Long wants Xiao Wang to do?
Long Hui said: I want to ask the prince for a list of martial arts personnel. In addition to the martial artists to refer to, they also include examiners, inspection tours and examination rooms!
The King of Qi nodded and agreed without asking the reason: Brother Long, please wait, Xiao Wang will get it for you.
After saying that, I turned around and walked into a side door of the study, where I could collect some important files.
After King Qi left, Long Hui calmed down and watched the layout around him. He felt that the study was neat and clean, and there were no decorations in the room. In addition to the bookshelf, he also had bookshelf.
There are no calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, only maps, including Daheng's territory map, Yujing distribution map, and detailed maps of major counties across the country. Not only do they depict various mountains and rivers in extremely detailed, but they also have annotated the people and the land styles. Long Hui was amazed and thought to himself: After hearing rumors, King Qi came out of Tiebiguan, he went to military camps in various places for training. I guess these maps were drawn by him personally at that time.
Looking at the desk again, Long Hui immediately took a breath of air conditioning. The table was not a major secret, but a memorial written by King Qi to Huangfu Wuji, which clearly showed the various existing shortcomings of Daheng. The most rare thing is that he also listed the methods of improving the response.
The first is the problem of the Daheng army. Although the Heng soldiers are powerful nowadays, they have too many soldiers and spend too much military salaries. The King of Qi is preparing to propose to Huangfu Wuji to raise the strong army and lay off the troops.
This layoff is not the simple way to disarm the army and return to the fields in the past, but to allocate these extra troops to other positions, such as building major river transportation roads, military farming and embankment projects, etc.
The construction of river channels is based on the two major river veins of Chujiang and Chishui River, which radiates waterways to major counties, especially in some arid areas. In this way, not only can the transportation route be improved and transportation are enhanced, but the problem of drought is effectively solved. The most important thing is to greatly slow down the flood disaster in the south.
When Tie Lie invaded, the army of Kings could not effectively rescue the imperial capital because of the flood in Shenzhou. If King Qi's move was successful, it would not only improve the mobility of the entire Daheng army, but also greatly reduce floods and floods. It can be said to be a move that benefits the country and the people!
As for military farming and building embankments, it is also a unique idea. The so-called military farming is also unique. Some grains that are easy to grow but relatively rough in the south of the Yangtze River are moved to poor areas such as the northwest to plant. In this way, it will free up land for the fine grains in the south of the Yangtze River and solve the problem of food for the people in the barren wastelands in the northwest.
Building a dike is even more amazing. There are many small countries in southern Xinjiang, and the climate is humid and stuffy, and the terrain is complex, which is not suitable for large-scale combat. Therefore, these small countries soon launched troops to invade the territory, while Hengjun was unable to annihilate these clowns due to their terrain disadvantages. Therefore, the practice of small countries in southern Xinjiang, in the past dynasties, was to use barbarians to control barbarians, support an obedient king, and restrict other countries.
But with the support of the Shenzhou Dynasty, that small country is increasingly powerful, and eventually it is inevitable to feel unjust. At that time, it will bite Shenzhou. After the Shenzhou Dynasty sent troops to quell the chaos, it will support another small country... In this way, it will become a loyal dog turning into a vicious wolf, killing the evil wolf and raising a loyal dog..., thus continuing the vicious cycle will never solve this problem.
However, during his military service, the King of Qi had conducted on-site inspections of the landforms of the countries in southern Xinjiang and found that their water veins and rivers were all downstream of China. In other words, these small countries had to drink the foot washing water of the people of China. So the King of Qi proposed to send these soldiers to the southern Xinjiang to build a dam. As long as the embankment was 10% larger, the Heng army would no longer need to worry about these leaping clowns. At that time, the barbarians would not be convinced, and Daheng would be able to do his work on the dam.
During the dry season, the upper river channels will be cut off and these barbarians will die of thirst. During the peak rain season, the river water will accumulate and flood the southern barbarians. This practice will be done once and for all, and there is no need to send troops to quell the chaos. If the barbarians are in chaos, the Hengjun will only pull up or close the water gate, so that these clowns will not be obedient. Invisibly, they will save a lot of military expenses and can also intimidate the barbarians to pay tribute. This is equivalent to giving the national treasury an extra income.
Seeing Long Hui's ability to match King Qi is already very impressed. Such a prince with rich clothes and food can take advantage of the military and work hard to travel thousands of mountains and rivers to make practical suggestions. Unlike other officials or royal families, they can only talk big and unrealistic.
Then look down, it is the last solution for the King of Qi to fight. He proposed to use this brother to build a messenger camp, set up camps in major counties across the country, specifically responsible for delivering letters, and also open them to the people. As long as you pay a certain amount of coins, these messengers will deliver letters to others.
After collecting enough letters, the messenger camp first put the letters into categories and charges fees according to the amount of letters and the distance. Since the fees are equally distributed by many individuals, everyone does not have to pay much silver, which is acceptable to ordinary people.
In this way, the people will benefit, and these soldiers will be able to escape from the court's military pay and become self-reliant. This can be said to be mutual benefit.
Long Hui thought about it carefully and found that if this messenger camp was established, the benefits would be far from that.
First, clear the information of various counties and counties in China. Once a war breaks out, the military information can be quickly transmitted; second, let many merchants and vendors know the situation in various places in a timely manner. As the saying goes, merchants will not go without profit. Once they see business opportunities, they will transport goods to their destinations. In this way, population movement, goods exchanges, and revitalize the entire China, both the court and the people can benefit.
If I were Huangfu Wuji, I would have no need to think about it and directly make King Qi the crown prince!
Long Hui sighed secretly, and was extremely puzzled by Huangfu Wuji's hesitation in establishing the crown prince.
Continue reading, the King of Qi actually proposed the political view of dividing land and reducing the vassal states. Long Hui then realized why Pei Guodong wanted to rebel against the King of Qi, and why Huangfu Wuji is still hesitating about the candidate for the crown prince.
The nobles and clans have grasped 70% of the fertile land in the world. Many people are farming for the clans and offer most of the harvest every year. They can only leave a small part of it. In the years of good weather, they can barely get enough food and clothing. If they suffer from floods and droughts, it will be terrible, so there are often disasters of refugees causing chaos. The fundamental problem is that it comes from the food in the fields.
In order to eliminate this disaster, the King of Qi had to distribute the fertile fields of the family to the people, so that the people could plant grain on their own fields. For example, when the peak season, they could plant refined rice, and when the off-season, they would plant coarse grains. There was no need to look at the faces of these aristocratic landlords. Even in the years when the harvest was not good, the people could still have food to eat and do not have to rebel at the risk of beheading.
If you want to divide the land, you have to cut down the vassal states. In this way, the King of Qi is equivalent to opposing the family of the world. The Cui family and the Qin family mainly use the business fortune, which has little impact on this. However, the Pei family started with the land. The King of Qi's practice is equivalent to cutting Pei Guodong's meat. It is no wonder that Pei Guodong turned to the King of Song.
After all, King Song did not have his own ideas and extraordinary courage like King Qi. He would never dare to have such an idea of dividing land and reducing vassals. He inherited the throne was extremely beneficial to the Pei family and other families.
King Qi relied on the clans to take office, but in the end he had to take drastic measures to remove the clan cancer. No wonder Pei Laoer wanted to rebel against him, no wonder Huangfu Wuji dared not make him the crown prince yet...
Long Hui finally understood Huangfu Wuji's attitude. Although the King of Qi was a powerful emperor, his courage and decision-making were probably not inferior to Nai's father. Huangfu Wuji might accept the improvement of the army, but this reduction of the vassal was too shocking. One careless thing was that the changes in China and the war was in full swing.
From Huangfu Wuji's intention to deal with the three religions and the cabinet, I think he also had the idea of reducing the vassal states, but the time has not come, so he dared not move easily... This is also the reason why he has been slow to establish the King of Qi for a long time
Long Hui smiled bitterly, but he didn't know what to say
At this time, King Qi walked out of the side room, holding a list in his hand, and said: Brother Long, this is the detailed list of this martial arts ceremony and the examination room arrangement
Long Hui was overjoyed. Judging from the method of King Qi marking the map, this list is probably full of annotations, and the information contained in it is difficult for ordinary people to estimate.
In this section, King Qi felt very calm, but in order to cooperate with his father, he continued to pretend to be sad.
The mother of the King of Song, namely Concubine Xiao, cried several times: My son Ah! Suddenly, his eyes turned over and fainted. King Song quickly supported his mother, but saw Concubine Xiao lying in his arms and blinking slightly. King Song and her mother and son were connected to each other and immediately came over. He kept silent and stopped saying anything about the two kings of Qi and Jin.
Huangfu Wuji shouted: Please pass on the imperial doctor quickly and treat Concubine Xiao quickly!
The imperial concubine was in a coma, and the ministers were not good at staying in the palace anymore, and they retreated one after another
The King of Qi and Empress Zhou said a few words. Concubine Xiao must take care of her. We must find out the murderer's polite words, bowed to Huangfu Wuji a few times, and then retreated.
After leaving the imperial study room, Queen Zhou's pretty face frosted and snorted coldly: The bitch named Xiao is so cunning, she actually knows how to pretend to be stupid and die!
The King of Qi said in surprise: Why did the Queen Mother say this?
Empress Zhou raised her head lightly, and the bead hairpin on her head swayed slightly, and she sneered: The bitch saw that His Majesty had no intention of punishing the emperor. If she pressed her against him again, she would only anger the emperor. So she pretended to be too sad and unconscious. To put it bluntly, she wanted to find a way for herself, not only not offend the emperor, but also showed the pain of losing her son in front of the ministers, and suddenly put herself in a position of being a pity, which brought a lot of sympathy!
King Qi nodded and said: That's true
Empress Zhou said: Zheng'er, no matter what the purpose of the black hand killed the King of Jin, in short, the conflict between you and the King of Song is inevitable now. This imperial examination is the key to the position of crown prince. You must not only let the emperor see your talents, but also make the ministers admire the outstanding literary talent of the Song King, who is still above the two kings of Tai and Jin. In addition to Concubine Xiao's scheming and the support of the Confucian scholar, you must not take it lightly.
The King of Qi responded and then left the palace
The underground palace secret room of Jiuyao Taoist Temple, the demon tribes hidden in it have begun to become busy and have begun to collect and analyze the information on the imperial examinations. Long Hui and Chu Wanbing and his wife screened out useful information from these thousands of files.
Long Hui was holding a piece of information obtained from Cui Die, which contained the name of the person who recorded the imperial examination.
The file in Chu Wanbing's hand is the detailed background of these scientific scholars and warriors. These are valuable information that Cui Die used the power of the Cui family to find from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel to use the power of the Cui family to find from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel.
Chu Wanbing stretched and acted coquettishly at Long Hui: Little thief, his shoulders are sore and swelling...
Long Hui understood it and hurriedly rubbed her shoulders and backs, serving her attentively, making Chu Wanbing smile like a flower and sweet heart
Long Hui said softly: Bing'er, sleep for a while, leave it to me here.
Chu Wanbingni said: Okay, I'm not sleepy, let's look for it carefully, maybe we can find the chess piece of Lu Fengluan.
When Lu Luan and Luo Qingyan were betting, Long Hui guessed that Lu Luan might have trained excellent literati and martial artists, and these literati and martial artists were on this list. Otherwise Lu Luan would not have been so arrogant about gambling. So the so-called guessing the top scorer was actually just the process of her holding her subordinates on the gold list.
So Long Hui asked Cui Die to collect all the reference personnel's information and infer them one by one from them. He hoped to find Lu Luneng's chess piece. As long as he could clarify the goal, he would remove it by any means. In this way, Luo Qingyan could not guess, and Lu Luneng could not guess. The same draw ended, so he could force Luneng to fight for life and death in the armed battle.
The best strategy is to find the chess piece and remove it
But it is not easy to find the target from these hundreds of literati and warriors, so we have a Zhongshou to find a material that can be made from these people and push them to the gold list with all our might. As for the worst strategy, let Long Hui find an opportunity to surrender to Lu Luan, and silence the people who know the secrets of the demon clan one by one, cutting off the root of Lu Luan threatening the demon queen. But this strategy is also the most dangerous. First, I don’t know how many people Lu Luan told the secret. Once there is a fish that leaks the net, the list of demon clans will be announced in the world. Second, Long Hui’s soul has not yet recovered at this moment. If Lu Luan sees the cat trick for Lu Luan, there will be a danger of the soul breaking.
Chu Wanbing sighed: No, let’s hurry up and find more clues. The bet has not been spread yet. Except for the core figures in the clan, the other demon clans are not aware of it. However, when Lu Luan seals the top scholar’s name into the Kuangshan Ancestral Temple, we will be even more passive!
Long Huiqi said: What is unique about this ancestral temple?
Chu Wanbing sighed: The ancestral temple enshrines the demon clans of all generations. Once the gate of the ancestral temple is opened, it is equivalent to alarming the ancestral spirit position. The demons in the world will have a sense of it. At that time, the bet between my mother and her will spread all over the demons!
Long Hui suddenly realized: In other words, in addition to some core members, there are also some tribe members in the demon clan who are looking for the grove.
Chu Wanbing nodded and said: That's right, Lu Luan was able to make trouble because of these people. After his mother successfully quelled the rebellion, she did not investigate Lu Luan's deployment in the past in order to preserve the vitality of the demon clan. She just decomposed their power and gradually drove it to the periphery. Once the bet was reported, Lu Luan's old subordinates would likely respond to her.
Long Hui said: Why not wait until the name is sealed into the ancestral temple, and then I will steal the envelope of Lu Fengluan to peek into its secrets. Wouldn't this be done once and for all?
Chu Wanbing sighed: This is absolutely impossible. The demon clan has a secret technique that is specially used to preserve secrets. Lu Luan can seal the envelope with its own essence and blood. If someone dares to act rashly, the envelope will be automatically burned, and all demons in the world will focus their attention on the ancestral temple. If you are not careful, your mother's prestige will be greatly damaged. Lu Lu Luan can join hands with his old subordinates to make trouble.
Long Hui sighed: There are not a thousand or eight hundred names here. You can't kill all these people. Lu Fengluan's move is cruel. Now I see everyone like her subordinates. It is difficult to tell whether the real or false is true. It makes us run away. I think that woman is drinking tea while laughing at our embarrassment at the moment. Chu Wanbing snorted: I will definitely not let her go!
Long Hui thought for a moment and said: Bing'er, have you ever thought about why Lu Luan is so sure to guess the top scorer? You know, the top scorer in this exam was a carp leaping over the dragon gate, and millions of talents squeezed their heads just to get the gold list, but there was only one top scorer. The intensity of this is probably not under the bloody battle of Fengdu. In my opinion, Lu Luan's already has a way to win.
Chu Wanbing said strangely: Little thief, what have you seen?
Long Hui said: In terms of literary top scholar, Lu Luan is probably able to get the test questions with her talent, and knowing the test questions in advance, it is easy to stand out.
Chu Wanbing said: There are two parts: written test and palace examination in the liberal arts examination. Even if you steal the test questions, you can only pass the written test. Huangfu Wuji personally checked the palace examination. Can Lu Luan guess what questions Huangfu Wuji is going to ask in advance?
Long Hui smiled and said: This is not necessary! There are very few people who have passed the written test in the past years. As long as Lu Luan uses the mysterious magic technique to control the minds of these people before the palace examination, so that they can perform abnormally during the palace examination, then this top scholar in Wen is not her possession!
Chu Wanbing suddenly realized and frowned and said: By analogy, during the martial arts competition, Lu Luan can also control those powerful warriors. After all, there are not many people who can resist this mysterious magic trick!
Long Hui stretched out and said: Bing'er, let's go out for a walk, this underground palace is so breathless!
Chu Wanbing said oh, took her husband's hand and walked to the ground. Before leaving, she called Riliyi
After leaving the secret passage, the three of them happened to be on the back mountain of Jiuyao Taoist Temple. Long Hui said: Binger, Ribbon, although this best strategy is good, it may not be implemented. It is better to arrange the middle strategy first and make a back-up preparation. Let’s follow this list to see those scholars who can be created, and it is also easy to cultivate them to fight against the Lu Luan.
Lianyi said: It just so happened that this Jiuyao Taoist Temple has many scholars who are taking the exam. Why don’t we start here?
Chu Wanbing exclaimed and said with a smile: Little thief, do you still remember the three sour scholars I mentioned last time? They also live here, so you might as well take a look at them.
Long Hui responded and sneaked into the front yard of Taoist temple with two girls.
The people living here are all scholars with no power. It is very easy for the three of them to hide their whereabouts and go to see the situation of the candidates one by one.
After seeing a few scholars, Lianyi couldn't help but sigh: These scholars have lived a very hard life, and their clothes have been broken for several holes, so they are reluctant to change them. The needlework and thread will be repaired.
Chu Wanbing sighed and said: Most of the people living here are poor families, and their families are quite poor. They come to live because of the cheap rent of Jiuyao Taoist Temple. The children of rich people all sleep in the inns with high beds and soft beds. Who would like to squeeze into this broken and old Taoist temple.
After seeing several scholars, they felt that they were not very satisfied. Chu Wanbing suggested to see Xue Le and other three scholars. Maybe there would be unexpected surprises.
Long Hui also has a good impression of Xue Le, thinking that although this scholar is a bit dull, he is still a warm-hearted person in the ancient Taoist path.
When he arrived at the roof of Xue Le and the other three, Long Hui gently lifted the tiles and looked down. He saw two scholars holding books and reading them. Zhihuzhe blurted out, and Long Hui almost fainted when he heard it. Xue Le sat on the windowsill looking at the sky, counting the stars with his fingers, and muttered to himself: How many stars are there in the sky?
Long Hui couldn't help but laugh: Bing'er, that scholar is interesting. His companions are studying hard, but he still has the leisure to count the stars.
Chu Wanbing glanced into the room and saw Guo Fei and Zhang Ming with bitter faces, shaking their heads and reciting constantly, but Xue Le was happy to be free, and raised her head to count the stars, and lowered her head to draw pictures.
The things I painted were actually some confused ghost talismans, some looked like mountains, some looked like trees, and some looked like beasts, but these pictures of different shapes were composed of many ink dots.
Chu Wanbing said strangely: What exactly is this nerd drawing?
Long Hui smiled and said: What he drew was a star map. Such a dot represents a star. Then it was connected to the ink line and it became various patterns.
Chu Wanbing curled her lips and said: This scholar is too ignorant. He is not at ease when the scientific examination is approaching and can draw some strange things.
Suddenly, Guo Fei asked: Ziyi, I have a question to ask you
Xue Le put down his pen and looked back: I am ashamed to ask for advice, so I would like to make it clear.
Guo Fei frowned and said: If you encounter such a question during the exam, how should you answer the question?
Xue Le was slightly stunned and thought for a while and said: I can answer this aspect. First, although filial piety is a virtue of the heart of the people, a person's filial piety can never be popularized by others. Therefore, there are still many disobedient children in the world. Only by implanting filial piety into everyone's heart can everyone fulfill their filial piety. The elderly are the second to support themselves, and promote filial piety, so as to influence the world with benevolence, and to be ashamed of their elders and their elders.
Although Chu Wanbing has a good literary talent, she prefers to recite poems and lyrics. She also hates this kind of person the most. After hearing this, Xue Le almost didn't fall off the roof.
Suddenly, Xue Le sighed and said: Now that the Fengdu War is over, Fengjun and other counties have suffered disasters to varying degrees, and the people are displaced. Instead of discussing these things, it is better to think about how to comfort the victims and comfort the people as soon as possible.
After hearing these words, Long Hui gave a look at the two women and signaled that he could leave.
When he returned to the underground palace, Long Hui clapped his hands and said with a smile: I have gained a lot from traveling tonight!
Lianyi Qi said: Long Hui, have you found someone to support me?
Long Hui nodded and said: That's right, it's that Xue Le
Chu Wanbing asked: Although the scholar has a few drops of ink, he may not be the best candidate for the top scorer. Why don’t we ask Sister Die, and those literati have the strength to compete for the top scorer.
Long Hui shook his head and said: There is no need for the candidates provided by Sister Die must be from a wealthy family, but Huangfu Wuji has been trying to promote talents from poor families in recent years. These noble men may not be in line with the taste of this emperor.
Lianyi said with a hunch: That's true, there is Gao Hong first, and then Long Hui. Huangfu Wuji wanted to install some grassroots children in the court to disperse the influence of the wealthy families. Moreover, these poor scholars are much more controllable than those noble children.
Long Hui said: That's right, I chose Xue Le to cater to Huangfu Wuji's thoughts. This son is not only quick in literature, but also considers the current situation. He doesn't want other scholars to be able to talk big, and this is undoubtedly the talent Huangfu Wuji wants.
Chu Wanbing said: Then do you want to support Xue Ziyi?
Long Hui said: I'm going to see other wealthy families tomorrow. If there is no accident, Xue Le should be the one we guessed.
Lianyi said: Since Long Hui, you decided on Xue Le, I will explore the origins of these examiners tomorrow. However, how should this martial arts top scholar deal with it?
Long Hui said: I have asked Birou, Wuhen, Lingxiao, Feng Wangchen and others to go to the capital, and then act. Once a suspicious target is found, they will be intercepted in advance. They will never let Lu Luneng participate in the martial arts competition. If it is really not possible, they will make a big fuss on the school ground on the day of the competition. Lu Luneng can't get anything.
Chu Wanbing said: In addition to martial arts, the top martial artist also has military strategy theory. I believe the examiner should be from the military, and the King of Qi was just in charge of the martial arts, not the examiner.
Long Hui smiled and said: The examiner with absolute qualifications in the army is undoubtedly Yang Governor General, but Huangfu Wuji has already named him the king of the other surname, so he will not enter Beijing to be an examiner. There are two people worth noting, one is the veteran general of Tie Rushan, and the other is Qiu Baifei, who has the title of green face and fang. Both of them are generals whose prestige is only inferior to the general in the army. They are likely to be the chief examiner and deputy chief examiner.
After saying these words, Long Hui stretched out and said: I'll go to Pei's house for a walk. Don't wait for me to come back, go and rest first.
Chu Wanbing said: What are you going to do with the Pei family?
Long Hui said: Because Pei Haifeng left a last word Xiangyin is ominous! I think this Zhao Xiangyin is very likely to be related to Lu Luan. After all, the Zhao family sent a master who understood the magical powers of the demon clan to defeat Han Zhi. The Zhao Pei family and Luan cannot get rid of Lu Luan.
Chu Wanbing and Lianyi also wanted to go with her, but Long Hui insisted on not allowing her, and finally persuaded them to persuade them to stop.
Long Hui used the night to cover up and sneaked into the Guizhou Lane and sneaked into the Pei family's mansion. He used the dead wood Zen method to hide his mind, because the erectus phoenix could sense his incomplete soul. Although he didn't know how large her sensing range was, everything was more careful.
Long Hui first used Buddhist mental methods to hide his breath, and then used the demon clan's stealth technique to avoid the guards and took the main house of Pei's mansion.
The main house is the head of the family, and this place is the residence of Pei Guodong, the head of the Pei family. Long Hui used the spirit snake body technique to swim to the dark place, devoted himself to eavesdropping on the information inside the house.
Only heard Pei Guodong snorting angryly: It's so outrageous. I led the important officials of the cabinet to meet the emperor. I originally thought that the boy of King Qi could be nailed to death, but at the critical moment, I was rescued by Queen Zhou. It was really a waste of effort!
Long Hui became more and more shocked as he heard it, and thought to himself: In the past, the Pei family has always supported the King of Qi, and the relationship between the two parties was so cold that they could be said to have lost their lips and turned against each other. How could they turn against each other and kill each other without any mercy.
A delicate female voice sounded: Don't be angry, don't be angry
Pei Guodong said: Xiangyin, the prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach, so I won’t be angry about this little thing
Zhao Xiangyin nodded and asked timidly: Father-in-law, I don’t know if there is anything to ask about my wife or not.
The voice was soft and timid, like a fine needle that penetrated the bones, so glutinous and greasy that it was almost about to catch up with the Mixianyin. Even Long Hui entered into meditation with the Dead Wood Zen method, he almost wanted to agree to her request for Pei Guodong for her.
Pei Guodong laughed and said: Xiangyin, what's wrong, but it's okay, we are not outsiders
Zhao Xiangyin said oh and said: Daddy, have you always supported King Qi at first? Why have you now helped King Song?
Pei Guodong pondered for a moment and said: The King of Qi's civil and military skills, courage and skills are rare in a century. He can be called the best candidate for the crown prince. However, because he is too strong, if he ascends to the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future, the first thing he has to do is to consolidate his throne, and the Pei family is the first target to start the operation. He will try every means to weaken the strength of the Pei family. If that day comes, wouldn't we become the laughing stock of being removed from the tortoise? On the other hand, although King Song is not as talented as King Qi, he is a literati and has a humble temperament. The most important thing is that he does not have the courage and skills of King Qi, so he must rely on our old ministers as he ascends to the throne, which is not very threatening to the Pei family.
Long Hui was shocked when he heard this and thought to himself: Pei Guodong seemed despicable and shameless, but in fact he was smart and sophisticated, and what he said was very reasonable. With the courage and ambition of the King of Qi, if he reached the top, he would definitely have a drastic move, implement a new policy internally, and conquer the four barbarians externally. At this time, he would definitely have a conflict with these old ministers...
Zhao Xiangyin clapped and praised: My father-in-law is really unique in his eyes, Xiangyin admires him
Pei Guodong said: Xiangyin, I am not only looking at me, but also more things that cannot be hidden...
Zhao Xiangyin said in a silly voice: Father-in-law, you are so bad...
Haha... Xiangyin, it's late at night, let's take a break!
Long Hui was slightly stunned: It turned out that Pei Guodong was actually a slaughter. His son died young, so he and his wife were married...
But he is not surprised. This kind of thing is common in wealthy families, and there are also fathers and wives in the demon clan.
At this point, he didn't need to eavesdrop on: It's rare that Old Man Pei has such a good mood, so I won't disturb his dream of spring breeze. It's better to go to the Qi Palace to take a look.
Leaving Guizhou Lane and coming to Wangsun Lane, the Qi Palace is in the middle of the alley. The neighbors are all the mansions of his half-brothers, but these princes are far inferior to the King of Qi, so even the mansions of the houses are inferior. From a distance, the Qi Palace stands like a crane standing among the palaces of the princes.
This so-called standout flock does not refer to how grand the decoration of the Qi Palace is, but a kind of indescribable momentum. When it comes to decoration, the Qi Palace is not as magnificent as the surrounding royal palaces, but it has a calmness and simplicity that cleanses the desolation and simplicity. Long Hui knew that this was a kind of momentum that was born from people. The Qi Palace himself was amazing, so under the influence of his temperament, even the mansion had a more outstanding appearance.
There are not too many guards in the palace, but the sentry posts and night patrol soldiers are just right in the house.
Long Hui once served as a guard in the palace. He had a deep understanding of the guards of the palace. It was five steps per post, three steps per post, and you could see the soldiers inspecting as soon as you looked up. However, there was no such phenomenon in the Qi Palace. The family's personal soldiers were patrolling sparsely, but each person's position just formed a head and tail echo. This arrangement method is a bit more maneuverable and agile than the tight posts in the palace. You can quickly intercept the assassin, and retreat to protect the safety of the master.
Faced with this kind of loose outer and tight inner formation, it would be difficult to please Chu Wanbing. Fortunately, Long Hui was familiar with the layout of the military formation and was also carrying amazing martial arts, so he could hide these sentries.
Long Hui is not unfamiliar with the aura of King Qi. He just needs to calm down and notice where he is, so he went straight to the door.
Long Hui felt that King Qi was in the study at the moment, but just as there were more than thirty steps away from the study, a spring of Buddha power surged out and hit Long Hui's back.
Long Hui moved his footsteps and gently moved his side to avoid the attack. When he turned around and stared at him, he saw a monk pinched out a big handprint and called him.
It turned out to be the Venerable of Earth! How could there be no master guards around King Qi?
Long Hui was not surprised by the monk's appearance. He waved his sleeves and showed his flexible energy, and he removed all the Buddha's palms.
Just as Long Hui intercepted the attack of the Venerable Earth, he felt that two Buddha powers were brewing in the dark, and he calmed down and stared at it. It turned out to be the two Venerables of Kong and Feng.
Long Hui didn't want to get too entangled with them, so he spoke: The three masters have no malice, they just want to meet His Highness King Qi, and I hope the three masters don't make things difficult for them.
Master Kong saw Long Hui's appearance clearly and said with a little surprise: It turned out to be General Long, I wonder what is important to come late at night?
Long Hui returned the courtesy and said: I really have something to ask the King of Qi, and I would like to ask the masters to let go.
Venerable Kong said: We are instructed by Bodhisattva Weituo and Empress Zhou to ensure the safety of Your Highness. We did not intend to make things difficult for the general. I will go and say something to Your Highness.
These three Buddhas are not subordinates of King Qi, so they just said to tell His Highness, instead of reporting to His Highness
At this moment, the study door was opened with a whistle, and King Qi walked out and said: Brother Long, please come in!
Long Hui was not polite, so he walked into the Qi King's study room.
After the King of Qi welcomed Long Hui into the study, he practiced Buddhist principles to the three great venerables to express his gratitude.
When he entered the study, Long Hui said straight to the point: Are your highness doing well these days?
The King of Qi smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed: The death of King Jin has pointed all the spearheads at me, I am now in danger!
Long Hui said: How could such a trick to frame the emperor? Your Highness must be fine.
King Qi said: Although my father saw the vicious plan behind his back, the ministers below did not think so. Either they were stubborn scholars who spoke of benevolence and righteousness, they would severely punish me, a sinner who killed my brothers, or they would try their best to bring me down. Faced with such pressure, even if my father wanted to protect me, it would be very difficult.
Long Hui said calmly: Then look for the real murderer to prove his innocence!
King Qi smiled bitterly and said: This murderer is hidden very deeply, so it is not easy to find it!
Long Hui smiled slightly: This civil and military imperial examination is a good opportunity, and the behind-the-scenes champion will definitely take this opportunity to send his confidants to participate in the imperial examination to achieve fame and achieve the goal of infiltrating the court!
The King of Qi suddenly realized and clapped his hands and praised: Brother Long really woke up the dreamer with one word. The Haotian Sect intends to subvert Daheng, so this imperial examination is the best opportunity. Why didn’t I think of this before?
Long Hui smiled and said: Your Highness was just disturbed by trivial matters. As long as you calm down and think, you will definitely find a good plan.
The Qi Dynasty Long Hui thanked him: This time it is thanks to Brother Long's help.
Long Hui waved his hand and said: Your Highness, you don’t have to be polite. Long is asking for trouble this time.
King Qi said: Brother Long untied Xiao Wang's knot, and this kindness Xiao Wang will definitely be rewarded. I wonder what Brother Long wants Xiao Wang to do?
Long Hui said: I want to ask the prince for a list of martial arts personnel. In addition to the martial artists to refer to, they also include examiners, inspection tours and examination rooms!
The King of Qi nodded and agreed without asking the reason: Brother Long, please wait, Xiao Wang will get it for you.
After saying that, I turned around and walked into a side door of the study, where I could collect some important files.
After King Qi left, Long Hui calmed down and watched the layout around him. He felt that the study was neat and clean, and there were no decorations in the room. In addition to the bookshelf, he also had bookshelf.
There are no calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, only maps, including Daheng's territory map, Yujing distribution map, and detailed maps of major counties across the country. Not only do they depict various mountains and rivers in extremely detailed, but they also have annotated the people and the land styles. Long Hui was amazed and thought to himself: After hearing rumors, King Qi came out of Tiebiguan, he went to military camps in various places for training. I guess these maps were drawn by him personally at that time.
Looking at the desk again, Long Hui immediately took a breath of air conditioning. The table was not a major secret, but a memorial written by King Qi to Huangfu Wuji, which clearly showed the various existing shortcomings of Daheng. The most rare thing is that he also listed the methods of improving the response.
The first is the problem of the Daheng army. Although the Heng soldiers are powerful nowadays, they have too many soldiers and spend too much military salaries. The King of Qi is preparing to propose to Huangfu Wuji to raise the strong army and lay off the troops.
This layoff is not the simple way to disarm the army and return to the fields in the past, but to allocate these extra troops to other positions, such as building major river transportation roads, military farming and embankment projects, etc.
The construction of river channels is based on the two major river veins of Chujiang and Chishui River, which radiates waterways to major counties, especially in some arid areas. In this way, not only can the transportation route be improved and transportation are enhanced, but the problem of drought is effectively solved. The most important thing is to greatly slow down the flood disaster in the south.
When Tie Lie invaded, the army of Kings could not effectively rescue the imperial capital because of the flood in Shenzhou. If King Qi's move was successful, it would not only improve the mobility of the entire Daheng army, but also greatly reduce floods and floods. It can be said to be a move that benefits the country and the people!
As for military farming and building embankments, it is also a unique idea. The so-called military farming is also unique. Some grains that are easy to grow but relatively rough in the south of the Yangtze River are moved to poor areas such as the northwest to plant. In this way, it will free up land for the fine grains in the south of the Yangtze River and solve the problem of food for the people in the barren wastelands in the northwest.
Building a dike is even more amazing. There are many small countries in southern Xinjiang, and the climate is humid and stuffy, and the terrain is complex, which is not suitable for large-scale combat. Therefore, these small countries soon launched troops to invade the territory, while Hengjun was unable to annihilate these clowns due to their terrain disadvantages. Therefore, the practice of small countries in southern Xinjiang, in the past dynasties, was to use barbarians to control barbarians, support an obedient king, and restrict other countries.
But with the support of the Shenzhou Dynasty, that small country is increasingly powerful, and eventually it is inevitable to feel unjust. At that time, it will bite Shenzhou. After the Shenzhou Dynasty sent troops to quell the chaos, it will support another small country... In this way, it will become a loyal dog turning into a vicious wolf, killing the evil wolf and raising a loyal dog..., thus continuing the vicious cycle will never solve this problem.
However, during his military service, the King of Qi had conducted on-site inspections of the landforms of the countries in southern Xinjiang and found that their water veins and rivers were all downstream of China. In other words, these small countries had to drink the foot washing water of the people of China. So the King of Qi proposed to send these soldiers to the southern Xinjiang to build a dam. As long as the embankment was 10% larger, the Heng army would no longer need to worry about these leaping clowns. At that time, the barbarians would not be convinced, and Daheng would be able to do his work on the dam.
During the dry season, the upper river channels will be cut off and these barbarians will die of thirst. During the peak rain season, the river water will accumulate and flood the southern barbarians. This practice will be done once and for all, and there is no need to send troops to quell the chaos. If the barbarians are in chaos, the Hengjun will only pull up or close the water gate, so that these clowns will not be obedient. Invisibly, they will save a lot of military expenses and can also intimidate the barbarians to pay tribute. This is equivalent to giving the national treasury an extra income.
Seeing Long Hui's ability to match King Qi is already very impressed. Such a prince with rich clothes and food can take advantage of the military and work hard to travel thousands of mountains and rivers to make practical suggestions. Unlike other officials or royal families, they can only talk big and unrealistic.
Then look down, it is the last solution for the King of Qi to fight. He proposed to use this brother to build a messenger camp, set up camps in major counties across the country, specifically responsible for delivering letters, and also open them to the people. As long as you pay a certain amount of coins, these messengers will deliver letters to others.
After collecting enough letters, the messenger camp first put the letters into categories and charges fees according to the amount of letters and the distance. Since the fees are equally distributed by many individuals, everyone does not have to pay much silver, which is acceptable to ordinary people.
In this way, the people will benefit, and these soldiers will be able to escape from the court's military pay and become self-reliant. This can be said to be mutual benefit.
Long Hui thought about it carefully and found that if this messenger camp was established, the benefits would be far from that.
First, clear the information of various counties and counties in China. Once a war breaks out, the military information can be quickly transmitted; second, let many merchants and vendors know the situation in various places in a timely manner. As the saying goes, merchants will not go without profit. Once they see business opportunities, they will transport goods to their destinations. In this way, population movement, goods exchanges, and revitalize the entire China, both the court and the people can benefit.
If I were Huangfu Wuji, I would have no need to think about it and directly make King Qi the crown prince!
Long Hui sighed secretly, and was extremely puzzled by Huangfu Wuji's hesitation in establishing the crown prince.
Continue reading, the King of Qi actually proposed the political view of dividing land and reducing the vassal states. Long Hui then realized why Pei Guodong wanted to rebel against the King of Qi, and why Huangfu Wuji is still hesitating about the candidate for the crown prince.
The nobles and clans have grasped 70% of the fertile land in the world. Many people are farming for the clans and offer most of the harvest every year. They can only leave a small part of it. In the years of good weather, they can barely get enough food and clothing. If they suffer from floods and droughts, it will be terrible, so there are often disasters of refugees causing chaos. The fundamental problem is that it comes from the food in the fields.
In order to eliminate this disaster, the King of Qi had to distribute the fertile fields of the family to the people, so that the people could plant grain on their own fields. For example, when the peak season, they could plant refined rice, and when the off-season, they would plant coarse grains. There was no need to look at the faces of these aristocratic landlords. Even in the years when the harvest was not good, the people could still have food to eat and do not have to rebel at the risk of beheading.
If you want to divide the land, you have to cut down the vassal states. In this way, the King of Qi is equivalent to opposing the family of the world. The Cui family and the Qin family mainly use the business fortune, which has little impact on this. However, the Pei family started with the land. The King of Qi's practice is equivalent to cutting Pei Guodong's meat. It is no wonder that Pei Guodong turned to the King of Song.
After all, King Song did not have his own ideas and extraordinary courage like King Qi. He would never dare to have such an idea of dividing land and reducing vassals. He inherited the throne was extremely beneficial to the Pei family and other families.
King Qi relied on the clans to take office, but in the end he had to take drastic measures to remove the clan cancer. No wonder Pei Laoer wanted to rebel against him, no wonder Huangfu Wuji dared not make him the crown prince yet...
Long Hui finally understood Huangfu Wuji's attitude. Although the King of Qi was a powerful emperor, his courage and decision-making were probably not inferior to Nai's father. Huangfu Wuji might accept the improvement of the army, but this reduction of the vassal was too shocking. One careless thing was that the changes in China and the war was in full swing.
From Huangfu Wuji's intention to deal with the three religions and the cabinet, I think he also had the idea of reducing the vassal states, but the time has not come, so he dared not move easily... This is also the reason why he has been slow to establish the King of Qi for a long time
Long Hui smiled bitterly, but he didn't know what to say
At this time, King Qi walked out of the side room, holding a list in his hand, and said: Brother Long, this is the detailed list of this martial arts ceremony and the examination room arrangement
Long Hui was overjoyed. Judging from the method of King Qi marking the map, this list is probably full of annotations, and the information contained in it is difficult for ordinary people to estimate.
