The strongest Marquis in history

Wang Qi said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu, Shanzhang is busy now, and he can't get away."

Zhu Chen waved his hand and said, "Sit!"

Wang Qi and Zhu Chen took their seats.

The old housekeeper hurriedly made tea, while Xia Houhu stood obediently behind Wang Qi.

Wang Qi said: "Mr. Zhu, I went to your former residence before, why did you change the place now? Something happened to the family, so that you moved to the west city."

"Ugh……"

Hearing this, Zhu Chen couldn't help but sigh.

Wang Qi said: "What's going on?"

Zhu Chen said: "Magistrate Wang, let's not talk about family ugliness, so don't ask about it."

Wang Qi shook his head and said: "That's not okay, I have something to do in the imperial court now. When I leave Chang'an and return to Qingzhou, I will see Shanchang. What happened in his family, you don't tell me, and he doesn't I know, but if I don't say it, what's the point?"

After a pause, Wang Qi said, "Tell me, what's going on."

Zhu Chen said: "In the past, the county magistrate Wang passed through Yangzhai County. Didn't I let Shanchang go to Nanyang with the county magistrate? Afterwards, he was often ridiculed by Xun Zhen and others."

"Even, the Zhu family is faintly rejected by the big families. If this is the case, then that's fine, it's not a big deal. Anyway, my Zhu family doesn't rely on them to live."

"It was only later that the old man's son, Zhu Zhi, was plotted against. He lost money in the casino and owed a huge amount of money. In this matter, the old man lost money, and the family property was also sold. The old house was also sold. , so move here."

"Actually, it's just that the Zhu family is not as good as it used to be."

"Life is not bad."

Zhu Chen said: "After all, the Zhu family still has so much land, so they don't have to worry about food and clothing for the time being."

Wang Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Zhu, your Zhu family has been rejected. Immediately afterwards, something happened to your son. Could it be that this is a plot by the big families in Yingchuan?"

Zhu Chen said: "I don't know. After all, there are no clues to find out. Especially the people who run the casino are not locals, but businessmen from other places. It's just that they have some connections with the big families in Yingchuan. Besides, my son also It is an indisputable fact that I really like to gamble.”

Wang Qi nodded, and he asked, "Mr. Zhu, do you need me to take action?"

"unnecessary!"

Zhu Chen shook his head and said: "The family is doing well now, there is no problem. So at the moment, I don't worry about anything. What's more, the family is less prosperous, and there are fewer dandies in the family. This is actually beneficial to the Zhu family. Everyone is so proud."

Wang Qi said: "You are always open-minded."

Zhu Chen said: "The matter has come to this point, so naturally we can only accept it. It's useless to blame others."

After a pause, Zhu Chen said, "Magistrate Wang, how is my good grandson doing under your command?"

With a smile on his face, Wang Qi said: "Mr. Zhu, I am not the magistrate of a county now. Before that, I was the Prime Minister of Langya Kingdom. Now I have been transferred to the court to serve as the Minister of War."

"hiss!"

Zhu Chen's eyes widened immediately.

One must know that Wang Qi has only been in Nanyang for a little over a year.Suddenly, he became the Prime Minister of Langya, and was transferred to the court as the Minister of War.

The speed is too fast.

Sure enough, the children of the aristocratic family are different, the family is rich, the background is strong, and the speed of promotion is astonishing.

Ps: The second update arrives.

Chapter 449

After Zhu Chen regained his composure, he asked with a concerned expression, "Lord Wang is serving in the court now. What is my grandson doing now? What position does he hold in Langya Kingdom?"

Wang Qi smiled and said: "He is Qingzhou Mu now."

Qingzhou Mu?

Zhu Chen opened his mouth wide and stared wide-eyed, his old wrinkled face was full of disbelief.After a long while, Zhu Chen came back to his senses and asked, "Master Wang, are you kidding me?"

Anyway, Zhu Chen is from a big family.

Be knowledgeable.

The post of Qingzhou Mu is in charge of Qingzhou's military and government. He is the imperial court's feudal official. This is a truly powerful official position. How could it be his grandson?

Wang Qi smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu, do you think I'm joking?"

Zhu Chen said, "What's going on?"

Now Zhu Chen didn't feel much joy in his heart, on the contrary, he was a little worried about Zhu Shanchang.

If Zhu Shanchang climbed up step by step, he would be a state shepherd at the age of three or forty, and Zhu Chen would be happy to see the success.The problem is, Wang Qi has now become the minister of the Ministry of War, and Zhu Shanchang has suddenly become the shepherd of Qingzhou, which is too unbelievable.

Even, worrying.

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "Lu Shengqi, who proclaimed himself emperor in Qingzhou, was killed by my troops. In Qingzhou, I let Shanchang take charge of the overall situation and serve as Qingzhou pastor. So now, he is in charge of government affairs in Qingzhou."

call! !

At this moment, Zhu Chen finally understood.

Immediately relieved.

There was still a trace of worry on his face, and he said: "Master Wang has been transferred to the court, so in the next step, the court will definitely re-arrange candidates for state shepherds and ministers of Langya. It is not safe to stay in Qingzhou ah!"

Wang Qi said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I have my own arrangements. In short, Shanchang's appointment as the shepherd of Qingzhou must be as stable as Mount Tai and will not be shaken."

A gleam flashed across Zhu Chen's eyes.

He vaguely understood.

Knowing Wang Qi's intention.

What Wang Qi meant was that after leaving Qingzhou and Langya Kingdom, he still holds these two places in his hands.

Zhu Chen vaguely had the intention of guessing Wang Qi, but the matter had come to an end, he stopped talking, and said: "Since Mr. Wang has made a plan, I don't worry about it. Speaking of which, this kid has gone to Langya Kingdom Not a single letter."

Wang Qi said with a smile: "Shan Zhang is busy with government affairs, that's why he is so busy."

After a pause, Wang Qi said: "Grandpa Zhu, you arrange someone to inform Xun Zhen, the Chen family, the Guo family and other major families in Yingchuan to come, and say that I passed by here, and I will hold a banquet here to thank them past funding."

Zhu Chen said: "The old man will arrange it immediately."

When he looked at Wang Qi, his eyes were filled with gratitude.He knew very well that Wang Qi did this to support him.

Zhu Chen asked Wang Qi to rest in the backyard temporarily, and then arranged for the housekeeper to notify Xun Zhen, Chen Mou and others that Wang Qi arrived in Yangzhai County and would hold a banquet to thank the big families for their kindness.

The housekeeper arranged for someone to notify, and in a little over two quarters of an hour, everyone gathered.

Xun Zhen and others all came to the hall.

At this time, only Xun Zhen and Chen Mou were there, while Zhu Chen and Wang Qi hadn't arrived yet.

Xun Zhen frowned slightly, and said, "Wang Qi came to our Yangzhai County today, saying that he was hosting a banquet to thank him, but the person hasn't arrived yet, so I don't know for the time being, what exactly is it?"

Chen Mou snorted and said, "Especially this time, the banquet was held at Zhu's house. In the past, everything was held at Patriarch Xun's house, not other people's house."

The rest of the people talked in a hurry.

They didn't have much affection for Zhu Chen.Because in the past Zhu Chen alone let Zhu Shanchang follow Wang Qi, this incident made Xun Zhen, Chen Mou and others think that Zhu Chen had left the Yingchuan clan.

That's why the Zhu family was rejected.

While everyone was discussing, footsteps could be heard, and Wang Qi and Zhu Chen entered together.

The two walked to the main seat and sat down on one left and one right.

With a bright smile on Wang Qi's face, he looked around and said, "Masters, I invited you here today to thank you for your help in the past. In the past, I was ordered by His Majesty to go to Nanyang County to serve as the county magistrate."

"Then last year, he served as the Prime Minister of Langya Kingdom and took charge of the Langya Kingdom. Now, under His Majesty's order, he was transferred back to Chang'an to serve as the Minister of War."

"Speaking of which, I can have what I have today, and I rely heavily on the past. You in Yangzhai County helped me with money and food. So today, I ask Mr. Zhu to arrange someone to invite you to the banquet to show my gratitude to you all. grateful."

Wang Qi directly talked about his situation.

Xun Zhen stroked his beard and said, "My lord, you are welcome. When you arrive in Yingchuan County, send someone to inform you early. Why should Zhu Chen be in charge of this matter? I, Xun Zhen, should do my best as a landlord."

Xun Zhen was also shocked.

In the past, Wang Qi was only the magistrate of Nanyang County, so it was nothing.

It's just that Wang Qi has a strong background and is a member of the prince, so they helped Wang Qi in the past.Unexpectedly, Wang Qi suddenly became the Minister of the Ministry of War.You must know that the Minister of the Ministry of War is an official with real power and the second in command of the Ministry of War, not an idle official position.

Chen Mou and the others were also a little surprised.

Wang Qi was promoted too fast.

In a blink of an eye, he became the Minister of the Ministry of War. This is a big boss in the court. The key is that Wang Qi is young!

This is promising.

Wang Qi looked indifferent, and continued: "There is actually another reason why I held a banquet at Zhu's house. I am grateful for Mr. Zhu's help. When I was just a county magistrate in the past, I asked my grandson Zhu Shanchang to follow me and work for me. When the county magistrate, he served as the county magistrate and presided over government affairs; when I was the state minister, he served as the chief secretary of our country's minister's office and presided over the government affairs of Langya country."

Everyone listened and didn't care.

At most, Zhu Shanchang is the prime minister of the country, and there is nothing unusual about it.

Wang Qi continued: "Now that I am leaving Langya Kingdom, he did not serve as the Prime Minister of Langya Kingdom. Because before Lu Shengqi attacked Qingzhou, I sent an army to destroy Lu Shengqi, destroyed Lu Shengqi's Qi Kingdom, and took Qingzhou."

"So, I asked him to serve as Qingzhou pastor and preside over the overall situation of Qingzhou."

"When I entered the court, when I dismissed my post from your Majesty, I would recommend Zhu Shanchang to serve as Qingzhou Shepherd, and issue an edict in the name of the court. I believe that His Majesty will definitely agree to consider the overall situation of Qingzhou."

Wang Qi was calm and calm, and said something calmly.

Whoa! ! !

When everyone heard this, they all had shocked expressions on their faces.

Qingzhou Mu!

Zhu Chen's grandson has become a shepherd of Qingzhou. This is a great official of the frontier!

Wang Qi is even stronger now.

Even in order to appease Wang Qi's strength, to win over Wang Qi's strength, and even to make the forces under Wang Qi's command obedient, the imperial court would definitely agree to Wang Qi's request.

Zhu Shanchang is here, and he is sure.

When Xun Zhen, Chen Mou and others were discussing, they looked at Zhu Chen with a pair of eyes, each of them was envious, and even a little shocked.

Good Zhu Chen!

It was really far-sighted, and let the grandson follow Wang Qi early.Now that Wang Qi has become an official in the court, and Zhu Shanchang has become a shepherd of Qingzhou, the Zhu family is naturally different, and all boats will rise with the tide.

After Xun Zhen was shocked, his mentality quickly recovered.After thinking about it, he immediately understood.

Wang Qi did it on purpose.

To use this to shake the mountain and shake the tiger, deliberately beat them.Obviously, Wang Qi knew about the downfall of the Zhu family, otherwise, Wang Qi would not have spoken in such a beating tone.

The hearts of Xun Zhen and the others were even more filled with regret, and each of them was full of regret.The Zhu family is so prosperous that Zhu Chen's status will inevitably increase, but they have plotted against the Zhu family before, and even pushed out Zhu Chen.

Xun Zhen was full of thoughts in his heart, and soon recovered, he said: "Congratulations to Brother Zhu, congratulations to Brother Zhu. It is really a great blessing for my grandson in Yingchuan County to have such a future!"

Chen Mou echoed, "That's right, Yingchuan County has a state shepherd from a state, and I, Yingchuan, have infinite glory."

The rest of the people opened their mouths to congratulate.

Everyone now, no longer has the previous arrogance, no longer the previous arrogance, but with a trace of flattery.The Zhu family followed Wang Qi closely. As long as Wang Qi's status improved steadily, Zhu Shan would be stable.

They had to curry favor with Zhu Chen.

Seeing this scene, Wang Qi smiled.

This is the effect he wants.

Zhu Shanchang was in Qingzhou, planning for him with great care and handling various matters for him.Up to now, something happened in the family, Zhu Shanchang didn't know, Wang Qi had to solve the trouble for Zhu Shanchang.

Zhu Chen said with a smile: "Everyone, to be honest, it is true that my grandson has some abilities. But the most important thing is to follow the right person. This is the key."

Xun Zhen quickly said: "That's right!"

The rest of the people agreed one after another.

Wang Qi took the conversation, stopped talking about Zhu Shanchang, and offered a toast to everyone present, kicking off the prelude to the banquet.

At this banquet, the atmosphere seemed to be lively, but in fact, Xun Chen, Chen Mou and others drank insipidly, because the Zhu family was different all of a sudden.

At the end of the banquet, everyone dispersed.
