The strongest Marquis in history

After a while, Wen Po came out and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, the empress has given birth to a dragon son."

"it is good!"

Wang Qi also smiled happily.

"Reward, all rewards!"

Wang Qi ordered directly, and he waited for a while, and when Mrs. Wen had tidied up everything in the room and came out to invite Wang Qi to enter, Wang Qi stepped into the room.

Wen Po had already walked over with the child in her arms and handed it to Wang Qi.

The child's face was bright red, but it was just born, the skin was a little wrinkled, the hair was thin, a pair of eyes were already opened, the black eyes were rolling around, and the small mouth was smacking, as if it was about to feed.

After Wang Qi saw it, he felt more concern and sustenance in his heart.

This is his child.

It is his blood inheritance.

Wang Qi took a deep breath, he took it and hugged it, then handed it to the nanny.After all, the palace has already prepared a nanny, ready to let the child have milk to drink at any time.

Wang Qi came to Zhao Yuyan's side, sat down and held Zhao Yuyan's hand, and said with a smile: "Yuyan, thank you for your hard work. The child is very good, he looks like you at first glance, but looks more like me when you look carefully."

Zhao Yuyan also had a smile on her face.

She was very tired at this time, but she was very energetic and full of satisfaction.

Before giving birth, she has always comforted herself that she likes both sons and daughters.Now that the child was born, his heart finally let go, because she gave birth to a son.

Queens have always had many problems if they have no sons under their knees.Now her first child is her son, so everything will go smoothly without any worries or concerns.

Zhao Yuyan asked, "Your Majesty, what is the child's name?"

Wang Qi said: "It's called Wang You, since God blesses him, he will never be disadvantaged."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name!"

After Zhao Yuyan heard it, he felt down.

The name also represents Wang Qi's expectations for the child.So Wang Qi named his son Wang You, and Zhao Yuyan was overjoyed, and felt completely at ease.

Wang Qi talked with Zhao Yuyan for a while, and Zhao Yuyan fell into a deep sleep.

After all, after giving birth, although she was very energetic and even a little hyperactive after giving birth, after Wang Qi said something, the excitement in her heart gradually calmed down, and the feeling of exhaustion swept over, replaced by deep exhaustion, So go to sleep.

Wang Qi asked the maid to take good care of him, went to see the child again, and then got up to leave.

At the same time, the news of Zhao Yuyan giving birth came out.

The whole country of Qi was full of joy.

But in the harem Yonghe Palace, in the room, there is a man and a woman sitting opposite each other.

The woman was Mi Zhen who was pregnant.

She is already seven or eight months pregnant, and she is already very pregnant. Because of the pregnancy reaction, she is also a little tired.

Beside Mi Zhen was sitting Mi Huang.

He is now here to visit Mi Zhen.

While the two were talking, a court lady came in, bowed to Mi Zhen, and said: "The imperial concubine, the empress has given birth, and the baby is a dragon son."

Mi Zhen said: "Understood, let's go down."

"Yes!"

The maid turned around and left.

In the hall, there are only two brothers and sisters left, Mi Zhen and Mi Huang.

Mi Huang is now in a high position and has always controlled Qi's pocketbook.He frowned slightly, sighed and said, "Oh, it's a pity. It would be great if the queen gave birth to a princess."

Mi Zhen shook her head and said: "Brother, in my opinion, the prince is the best. If my child is a princess, then it will be fine, and there will be no disputes."

"Crow's Mouth!"

Mi Huang snorted, and said: "Little sister, what are you talking about? You are now a noble concubine. Although you are not a queen, as long as you give birth to a dragon son and have an elder brother to take care of you, you will not be afraid of the queen. In you In this position, if you don’t advance, you will retreat, and you can’t have the idea of ​​retreating, that’s what the weak do.”

At Mi Huang's current position, he already had some ideas, wanting more power.

Greater power comes from the prince.

Mi Zhen looked at her elder brother who was thinking about the desire for power, but shook her head, and said: "Brother, I don't agree with you. I have a very good relationship with the empress, and your majesty only has two women, me and her. I don't want to fight, neither does the queen, and neither does His Majesty."

"So, I don't want any disputes to arise. The candidate for the crown prince must be the emperor's son, so don't think about it. Brother, don't think too much about this matter."

"In addition, during this period of time, Wang Fu has been in the palace. He has been watching the situation. You must not have other thoughts. At that time, it will be bad for yourself."

Mi Zhen said: "Today's life is very good, and I am also very satisfied."

Mi Huang frowned and asked, "Little sister, are you from the Mi family?"

Mi Zhen said: "I am from the Wang family."

"Okay, okay, you are from the Wang family, so you should always think about your own children."

Mi Huang hated iron and steel, and said: "As long as you give birth to a prince, especially if the child is about the same age as the queen's son, this is an unavoidable thing. As long as there are people, there will be fights."

Mi Zhen said: "We'll talk about it when the time comes!"

"you you……"

Mi Huang shook his head and said, "I really don't know what kind of ecstasy the queen gave you to make you obedient with all your heart, without thinking about yourself at all."

Mi Zhen said: "I'm not obedient, it's because I cherish the relationship with His Majesty, and I don't want to fight with Sister Yuyan. Such a fight is meaningless, it's better for me to do business by myself."

Hearing these words, Mi Huang wished to pry open Mi Zhen's head with a hammer, to see what was inside Mi Zhen's head that made Mi Zhen behave like this.

Mi Huang was so angry that he panicked, so he simply got up and left in a hurry.

Looking at the back of Mi Huang leaving, Mi Zhen shook her head and muttered to herself: "Power is not what I like. I like a harmonious family. I like a harmonious family. This is the only thing I like." I like it."

After she said these words, her heart gradually became firmer.In this harem, there are conflicts of power everywhere, but she hopes that she can stick to her heart and doesn't want any changes.

Mi Zhen waited for a while before going to the harem, she was going to visit Zhao Yuyan.

At the same time, congratulations to Zhao Yuyan.

Chapter 780 Centennial Plan

After Wang Qi returned to the palace to deal with government affairs, the six ministers came together.

The six ministers are important ministers in the court.

According to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, three provinces were to be established, but Wang Qi skipped this step. There were no three provinces for the time being, and the six ministers were directly responsible to the emperor, weakening the existence of prime ministers.

Wang Qi looked at Zhu Shanchang, Zhuge Feng, Zhou Zishan and the others, and said, "Tell me, what are you all doing here? Normally, you six ministers are all busy. Now, all of you have come here in a swarm, which is rare. ah!"

Zhu Shanchang was the head of the six ministers, and he took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, the minister waited for today to congratulate His Majesty. Second, the eldest son of the emperor was born, and the court should also appoint a prince. It happened that the empress was born. The eldest son, being registered as the crown prince, is a response to the heavens. We have just established the Qi Kingdom, and we have a crown prince. This is God's blessing."

Zhuge Feng said: "Your Majesty, I second the proposal."

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

One by one, they all spoke in agreement.After all, if there is a prince in the court, everything will go well.When the prince grows up a little, he can choose a tutor and a bachelor from the East Palace for the prince to teach the prince.

It's all a matter of arrangement.

Wang Qi nodded and said: "The Ministry of Rites drafted an edict to promulgate the appointment of the Crown Prince. In addition, when the Qi Kingdom is established and the Crown Prince is born, the entire world can be pardoned, and a group of criminals who can be pardoned will be pardoned."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Zishan said at this time: "Your Majesty, I still have something to report."

Wang Qi said: "What's the matter?"

Zhou Zishan said: "The matter that I want to report is that now that the Qi State is established and unified in the universe, I propose to hold the imperial examination. Before the imperial examination, I have been preparing for it, and I have mature ideas on various matters. Now, it is just time to start the imperial examination." The imperial examinations are used to select talents and enrich them all over the world so as to benefit the common people.”

Everyone was surprised when they heard it. What is an imperial examination?

Only Wang Qi and Zhou Zishan knew about the imperial examination, and the rest did not.

Wang Qi said with a smile: "Zhou Shangshu, let me tell you about the imperial examination, and everyone is talking about it."

"Yes!"

Zhou Zishan replied immediately.

He glanced at the people present, and said slowly: "Everyone, the so-called imperial examinations are the unified examination and selection of talents by the imperial court. But all the scholars of Qi State, no matter they are from poor families or from aristocratic families, as long as they are Qi State scholars, Anyone can participate."

"This is the unified imperial examination."

"Now it's the first year of admission. Relatively speaking, it's a bit hasty and inexperienced. So this time, it's an edict to the world that the imperial court will set up a test center in Chang'an to open the selection process."

"Anyone who is willing to participate, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, can participate."

"The selected people will be assigned official positions by the court, either to the local government or to serve in the court. From the second year onwards, the assessment will be further refined, starting from the state level."

"By the third year, it starts at the county level, and even ends up at the county level."

"The ultimate goal is to select from the county level, step by step, and finally gather in Chang'an to take the exam. This is a special imperial examination. As for the imperial examination, the Ministry of Rites is responsible for it, and individual candidates are specially arranged."

Zhou Zishan said: "The whole assessment process, the local officials do not mix or intervene in it, they just assist the officials of the Ministry of Rites to complete it."

hiss! !

When everyone heard the words, they all took a deep breath.

This is a big deal.

Not a small thing.

All the people present were far-sighted people. After thinking about it in their hearts, they generally understood the advantages and disadvantages of it.This will inevitably further hit the aristocratic family and the privileged personnel.

After all, officials in the past had a lot of maneuverability by relying on filial piety and honesty, expropriation, etc.

The imperial examination is different.

All the people were thinking for themselves for the time being, and did not immediately make a decision.

Wang Qi didn't rush to urge, and said: "The imperial examination matter is to be arranged. Let's talk about it, what do you think about the imperial examination matter?"

Zhu Shanchang said: "Your Majesty, the opening of the imperial examination is a matter of merit in the present age and in the future. According to this strategy, countless talents from poor families in the world must come out enthusiastically. In addition, talents in the world will inevitably continue to emerge. It makes talents dusty. However, I have some worries."

Wang Qi said, "What are you worried about?"

Zhu Shanchang said: "What I am worried about is that the aristocratic families in the world will resist this matter."

Wang Qi's eyes were sharp, and he said loudly: "What are you resisting? Is it possible that they dare to kill people directly to prevent the world's scholars from participating in the assessment? The trend is so great, they can't stop it. In addition, Zhou Shangshu has already said just now that the imperial examination matter, the Ministry of Rites Those who are in charge, there are officials in charge of scientific research, and those who are not subject to local control, no one can stop them."

Zhu Shan said: "Your Majesty is wise, since this is the case, I have nothing to worry about."

Wang Qi looked at the others and said, "What do you guys think?"

Cui Dongshan is still serving as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, but he wants to resign.It's just that on this occasion, Wang Qi won't let him go, so he can't leave at all for the time being, and can only stay.

Cui Dongshan said: "Your Majesty's opening of the imperial examination is an excellent thing, and the veterans recognize it. And this thing must be carried out. Only in this way can we ensure the fair and just selection of talents."

Mi Huang said directly: "I also think that it should be pushed forward. Even though the arrangement of these matters will cost a lot of financial and material resources, it is still worth it."

The rest of the people also expressed their opinions one after another.

All agree.

Wang Qidu has already stated that he wants to implement it directly, so no one will stop it.

Wang Qidao: "Since you all have no objections, then Zhou Shangshu will make arrangements. If you need to cooperate, you can directly find other people, and all departments will fully cooperate."

"I obey my orders!"

Zhu Shanchang and the others answered in unison.

After explaining their respective matters, everyone took their leave, but Cui Dongshan, he went back and forth, returned to the palace, and met Wang Qi again.

Wang Qi smiled and said: "Teacher, you didn't speak before, but now you come back and say, but what's the matter?"

Cui Dongshan nodded and said, "There is indeed one thing."
