The strongest Marquis in history

All of them are now full of fighting spirit.

Because Wang Qi's going west to Chang'an this time is related to their future development.

All of them worked hard.

Wang Qi and the others discussed many other matters, and each item was arranged and put into practice. In the blink of an eye, it was evening. Wang Qi held a banquet at the mansion. After eating, everyone went to work.

Wang Qi arranged everything properly and waited for another two days.Wang Zongxi set off to go north, and Wang Qi also quietly set off with Zhao Shao to leave Linzi and head west to Chang'an.

Chapter 447 thoughts of all parties

Chang'an City, the capital of the Great Zhou Empire.

Compared with last year's spring, Chang'an today is still prosperous, but it is a little less prosperous than it used to be.Because up to now, the localities of the Great Zhou have established themselves one after another. Although the imperial court still occupies Guanzhong, Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou, the problem is that Xiliang, Bashu, and Yangzhou have all established themselves one after another, and the imperial court’s strength has weakened too much.

The world is in turmoil and people's minds are changing.

Inside the East Palace.

Prince Zhao Yuduan sat on the main seat.

Sitting below is a middle-aged man named Zu Daqi, who is now the prince Xima of the East Palace.After the death of the former crown prince Xima Wei Yuanli, Zhao Yu rediscovered another talent, who is the current Zu Daqi.

This is Zhao Yu's confidant counselor.

Zu Daqi was over forty years old, and his temples were already weathered.

He acts more aggressively.

Because Zhao Yu was unable to overthrow Qi Wang Zhao Zhi for a long time, Zu Daqi's behavior style won Zhao Yu's liking and Zhao Yu's respect.

Zhao Yu took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Zu, my father is seriously ill, and his condition has been dragging on for a long time. Now Wang Qi is about to return to serve in the imperial court. Wang Qi is very capable, even though he also works for the palace. Just watching Temperament, very assertive, also has his own ambitions, difficult to control. What do you think of Wang Qi here?"

Wang Qi has rapidly developed his strength locally. In a short period of time, he has mastered the Langya Kingdom, and also captured Donghai County and Pengcheng Kingdom. His strength is extremely tyrannical.

What's more, in the past, Wang Qi got the Yishou Pill, and instead of giving it to Zhao Yu, he directly dedicated it to the emperor.

Zhao Yu felt a little pimple in his heart.

In my heart, I don't really trust Wang Qi.

Zu Daqi thought for a while, and said slowly: "Prince, the attitude towards Wang Qi is mainly to win over Wang Qi. Of course, Wang Qi's allegiance has also been carefully studied by the humble official. There are some problems."

"Currently, Wang Qi is only on the side of the prince, but he has never been loyal to him. This kind of relationship is not bound by interests, it is not reliable, and it is even prone to problems."

"Even now, Wang Qi has married Zhao Shao's daughter. You must know that Zhao Shao belongs to King Qi, and with such a bond, King Qi may win over Wang Qi."

Zu Daqi talked eloquently, and said: "It's just that King Qi and Wang Qi have some conflicts, and the relationship is more complicated. But even so, we can't be careless, and we can't think it's safe, so I think that we must win over Wang Qi."

"The more chaotic the world is, the more self-evident Wang Qi's importance becomes."

"After all, behind Wang Qi is not only his own strength, but also Wang Zongxi and Li Sheng. The existence of these people is Wang Qi's strength."

"What's more, Wang Qi is very powerful."

Zu Daqi said in a deep voice: "So to put it bluntly, if you win over Wang Qi, you will have the foundation to win the world."

Zhao Yu said in a deep voice: "What if Wang Qi changes because of Zhao Shao, instead of standing on the side of my palace, but on the side of King Qi? After all, Zhao Shao is a scheming old fox."

Zu Daqi said: "If this is the case, we can only destroy Wang Qi. Even if Wang Qi is powerful, he can be convicted of treason and killed by the army. Even if Wang Qi is a master of martial arts and is a master , that will surely die."

Zhao Yu said: "You mean to test Wang Qi first."

"Correct!"

Zu Daqi nodded and answered.

"Report!"

At this moment, a servant hurried in.

After the servant stood still, he reported: "Prince, there is an urgent report from Qingzhou."

Zhao Yu took the letter in his hand and quickly opened it to check.When he saw the contents of the letter, he couldn't help showing a shocked expression on his face.Zhao Yu waved his hand to let the servant back down, turned to look at Zu Daqi, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Zu, something serious happened in Qingzhou!"

Zu Daqi said: "What is it?"

Zhao Yudao: "For Lu Shengqi's side, he led an army to attack Wang Qi, and was killed by Wang Qi. The Qi State established by Lu Shengqi has already been destroyed. The entire Qingzhou has also been taken by Wang Qi."

hiss! !

Zu Daqi heard the words and exclaimed.

There was a look of shock on his face.

Zu Daqi never thought that such a situation would happen.Even Zu Daqi didn't expect that Wang Qi's strength would be so tyrannical.

Because Wang Qi killed Lu Shengqi and incorporated Lu Shengqi's army, the news of helping Lu Shengqi kill Cheng Mao in the past had already been suppressed, and no one knew about it.

The news that came out was that Wang Qi killed Lu Shengqi and destroyed Qi.

The expression on Zu Daqi's face was extremely serious, and he said: "Prince, Wang Qi's ability is really beyond expectations. Wang Qi is a man who is worthy of being a general. He is really good at leading troops to fight."

Zhao Yu said: "That's true."

Zu Daqi continued: "In the past, Cheng Mao led a large army to attack Lu Shengqi, but he was killed by Lu Shengqi without leaving any behind, and the loss was huge. Even after Lu Shengqi became emperor, all parts of the world became emperor one after another. But now Lu Shengqi, Beheaded by Wang Qi. Now that Wang Qi has Qingzhou in his hands, his strength has gone a step further."

Zhao Yu's eyes were deep, and he said: "In this case, we have to re-evaluate Wang Qi's strength. Under such a situation, Wang Qi is not so easy to deal with. We must never turn against Wang Qi, we must win over."

Zu Daqi said: "The crown prince is wise, and now Wang Qi is very powerful. If the crown prince has Wang Qi's allegiance, coupled with the power of Wang Qi's lineage, the civil servants include Lin Yuanchong, Cui Dongshan and others, and the military generals include Li Sheng and Wang Zongxi. , and even Wang Qi himself. If you make good use of it, it is not impossible to sweep the world again and calm down the Great Zhou. At that time, the crown prince will be the master of rejuvenation of my Great Zhou."

Zhao Yu's gloomy eyes suddenly filled with anticipation and smile.

In the hands of his father, Great Zhou completely declined.If he can be revived again, he, the master of Zhongxing in the Great Zhou Dynasty, will leave a heavy mark in history.

This is a great opportunity.

Zhao Yu said in a deep voice: "The strength of Wang Qi's lineage is so strong. With such tyrannical strength, even if the world is swept away, Wang Qi's lineage is very difficult to deal with. On the contrary, it is too big to lose."

Zu Daqi chuckled and said, "His Royal Highness, the world today is in complete chaos. At this moment, we can only stabilize the place and calm the world. As for other things, don't think about it for the time being. If you consider Wang Qiwei's irresistible momentum , that is also a matter of peace in the world. But now, it is impossible to deal with Wang Qi, and we will think about it later."

Zhao Yu stroked his beard and said, "It's also true."

After a pause, Zhao Yu said, "Let's talk about it now, how to win over Wang Qi?"

Zu Daqi said: "Ordinary wooing is definitely hopeless. If you want to woo, you have to make a big bet."

Zhao Yu said: "How to make a big bet?"

Zu Daqi said: "I promised to let Wang Qi be one of the prime ministers of the three provinces once the matter is completed. Even, his father promised to take charge of Youzhou, and he was granted the title of Shepherd of Youzhou."

Zhao Yu's cheeks twitched.

Such a condition is a big break.

It can be called extremely shocking.

You know, the Wang family was originally from a great family in Youzhou.Now let Wang Qi become one of the prime ministers, and even let Wang Zongxi become the shepherd of Youzhou, which is equivalent to having a big family.

Zu Daqi said with a smile: "Prince, everything is for the sake of the overall situation. When the world is in peace, people's hearts will be in the hands of the prince. At that time, we have to deal with Wang Qi and Wang Zongxi. It's just a matter of one sentence. Even, the prince is not needed at all To speak, you only need the prince to have an attitude, and naturally someone will chase and bite you."

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Mr. Zu is right, things are arranged like this."

Zu Daqi said: "That being the case, as soon as Wang Qi arrives, I will pay a visit to Wang Qi and invite Wang Qi to the East Palace. Then, the crown prince will hold a banquet to clean up Wang Qi's dust. No matter what, we need to win over Wang Qi now so that Suppress the lineage of King Qi."

Zhao Yu said: "Thank you Mr. Zu."

Zu Daqi said: "I'm not working hard."

Zhao Yu waved his hand, Zu Daqi turned around and left.

After he walked out of the East Palace, he thought about Wang Qi's matter in his heart.After all, at such a young age, Wang Qi has such ability, which is really extraordinary. It needs to be carefully considered, so that Wang Qi cannot find out the problem.

……

Prince Qi's Mansion, in the study.

Qi Wang Zhao Zhi sat on the main seat at will, and below him was his confidant, the master book Sun Lang.

Zhao Zhi said in a deep voice: "Master Sun, Zhao Shao is going to announce the decree, and Wang Qi is about to return to Chang'an. The Wang Qi of today is not the Wang Qi who just stepped into Chang'an in the past. He has transformed from a county magistrate to a state leader of a country. Phase, it was completed in less than a year."

"Now, Wang Qi has seized Donghai County and Pengcheng Kingdom."

"This strength can be described as tyrannical."

Zhao Zhi's eyes were a little hesitant, and he said: "Under such a situation, how should we deal with Wang Qi? Right now we must consider a good countermeasure, otherwise once Wang Qi arrives, he will be in a hurry."

Sun Lang said: "The humble staff thought that they could only win over Wang Qi, and could no longer target Wang Qi."

Zhao Zhi said: "How to win over?"

He wanted to win over Wang Qi, but the problem was that the conflict between the two parties was not small.

Once Wang Qi entered Chang'an in the past, he had conflicts one after another with Prince Qi's mansion.After this series of events, the conflict between the two sides became very deep.

Sun Lang smiled and said, "Your Highness, we have conflicts with Wang Qi, but we also have a big advantage."

Zhao Zhi said: "What advantage?"

Sun Lang said: "Could it be that Your Highness has forgotten that Zhao Shao, the minister of household affairs, is Wang Qi's father-in-law. This relationship cannot be left behind by Wang Qi. Even the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace cannot change it."

Zhao Zhidao: "Although the truth is true, it is not easy to persuade Wang Qi."

Sun Lang said in a deep voice: "It's not easy to persuade Wang Qi, that is, the benefits are not enough, so there will be no agreement. His Highness has been sitting in the court, but he took the post of Shepherd in Youzhou, and then Zhu Huai was in Youzhou. The state serves as the long history."

"We can give Wang Zongxi a lot of use and let him serve as the shepherd of Youzhou."

"Secondly, Wang Qi's teacher Li Sheng, as well as Wang Qi's teachers Cui Dongshan and Lin Yuanchong, those who are related to Wang Qi can go a step further, all those who should be promoted will be promoted, and those who should be promoted will be promoted. "

"Thirdly, Wang Qi himself also gave him a big reward, let him hold an important position, and he can consider becoming the Minister of the Ministry of War. Even Zhao Shao is the servant of the Ministry of Households, so let Zhao Shao be the Minister of the Ministry of Households in the future."

Sun Lang said solemnly: "As long as Wang Qi is willing to stand by us and plan for us, we can promise him these things. In short, as long as the plan can be completed, everything is worth it."

Zhao Zhi thought for a while and said, "According to your consideration, people in Wang Qi's system are somewhat powerful. Although I will become emperor in the future, I can gradually weaken it, but it is easy to cause problems."

Sun Lang said: "There is no other way. If we don't win over Wang Qi, we can be sure that the East Palace will continue to win over Wang Qi. So we have no choice."

Zhao Zhi said: "This is also the reason."

At this time, another servant hurried in and reported some news in Sun Lang's ear.

After Zhao Zhi listened, he waved his hand to let the servant back, and said, "Master Sun, I just got two pieces of news. The first piece of news is from the East Palace, asking Zu Daqi to contact Wang Qi. Specifically, how the East Palace will win over Wang Qi." , I don’t know for the time being. The second news is that Wang Qi has destroyed Lu Shengqi’s Qi State and seized the entire Qingzhou.”

what! !

Sun Lang couldn't help but exclaimed.

Sun Lang said with emotion: "This Wang Qi is really powerful. Lu Shengqi is extremely difficult to deal with, and has caused a very bad influence on Da Zhou. Unexpectedly, he was wiped out by Wang Qi."

Zhao Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, we have all got the news, which means that the East Palace has also got the news. Now, what should we do? We must think clearly about things now."

With sharp eyes, Sun Lang said, "Your Highness, since this is the case, let's go one step further and win over Wang Qi again. As long as Wang Qi is willing to help His Highness, promise to let him rule a province and become the prime minister of the court."

"In my Great Zhou Dynasty, at Wang Qi's age, it is extremely rare to become the prime minister of the court. This, together with the previous conditions, is enough to make Wang Qi's heart move."

"In addition, we can let Zhao Shao do the persuading Wang Qi."

Sun Lang said: "After all, Zhao Shao is Wang Qi's father-in-law, and he will be more convincing if he comes to persuade him."

Zhao Zhi nodded and said, "Master Sun, Da Zhou has nearly 300 years of foundation. From the beginning to now, he has never become a prime minister at Wang Qi's age. Let him be the prime minister, I am afraid the consequences will be huge. .”

Sun Lang said: "Your Highness, everything that the humble official said is based on the foundation of being able to seize the foundation, defeat the prince, and finally become emperor. If you can't reach this point, you won't have a chance."

"So what may happen in the future, we will plan in the future. In addition, the world is in chaos, and we need to rely on Wang Qi's strength, and then mobilize famous generals such as Li Sheng and Wang Zongxi, so as to wipe out the thieves and bandits."

A gleam flashed in Sun Lang's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Let him be the prime minister. If he can't fulfill his mission and grasp the situation in the center, then no one is to blame? It will be easy and justifiable to take him down at that time."

Zhao Zhi smiled and said, "Wonderful!"

He immediately agreed.

After all, everything he did was to win over Wang Qi, to gain influence so that he could succeed to the throne.

With Zhao Zhi's consent, Sun Lang got up to make arrangements.

……

Linghu Qianli is looking through the latest news from the Black Dragon Terrace spies.

Wang Qi is indeed amazing.
