Chapter 317: Dominate Jiangdong
But jokes aside, these people won't move until they have no choice. As a prince, you have to be tolerant. This is also the reason why Ji Chong and Rong Qing have been chatting for so long, in the final analysis, he is afraid that Rong Qing, the murderous demon king, will come up one day and shoot those two women to the scum, this kind of thing is better not to happen.
Since ancient times, emperors who like to kill corrupt officials have not governed the world well, but there are many examples of the dynasty turning from victory to decline. Although with Rongqing's temperament, she can't wait to kill all the corrupt officials in the world to vent her hatred, but as a king, she can't do such a brainless thing. In Chuyang alone, there are tens of thousands of officials, big and small, and more than 400,000 military horses, and no one takes care of her, so Rong Qing can only go door to door to ask for money and collect rent.
At that time, Rong Qing's parents could only hate themselves for giving birth to a Huang Shiren.
Therefore, when a person ascends to the throne, the first thing he thinks about should never be what is to love the people like a son, punish the treacherous and evil, these trivial things, but how to make his foundation strong, how to make the people support him, expand his military horse, set the world, and finally use all the rights and status to make himself an immortal! Without such courage, he would be a bandit leader at best, not even a warlord.
Therefore, among the sons of the Middle Ages, someone said: Those who seek the immortal position are also kings. Whoever seeks the throne will be the same for him. Those who seek the phase are also their soldiers. Those who seek the position of scholar are also for their people. The meaning of the last sentence could not be clearer, if a common man only takes eating enough food as his greatest ideal to strive for, then the result is that he will not be able to eat enough for the rest of his life.
Rong Qing and Ji Chong just talked about some trivial things, and they could feel that Chuyang was really settled down now, at least Ji Chong, the king of Chuyang, was now completely able to control those courtiers. It's a pity that it is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, and they are not good at the affairs of the harem, but fortunately, Rong Qing can be out of sight and out of mind, but Ji Chong still has to find time to spoil them after the wedding, which can be described as never peaceful.
Liao Xian and the others who followed behind them were also very pleased with the young couple. Although they have nothing to do with the word love, there has never been such a harmonious couple in the harem since ancient times. Although Rong Qing is strong, his temperament with Ji Chong does not conflict at all, it seems to be a way of infinity with one rigidity and one softness, one yin and one yang, which is as natural as nature.
"Princess, when the widow reaches adulthood, he will make you queen." Ji Yan suddenly thought of something, and suddenly said.
"I've figured out how to balance the forces of the harem. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the state was founded, the state was in a state of reality, the national fortune was balanced inside and outside, and the state was prosperous. Therefore, Emperor Wu gave it to death after giving birth, so as not to make the mother and son expensive and cause trouble to the dynasty. The widow made you queen, and she gave birth to a child by a concubine. The widow is a hypocrisy in the court, Gongsun Zhoumu is the reality, and in the harem is the hypocrisy, you are the reality! In this way, the court and the harem can be safe, do you think it's okay? ”
"It's good, it's good, but a woman who gives birth to you and raises a daughter, it's a bit too much. However, your theory is also good, only to take a step at a time later. Chu Yang is so big, it's really a headache to govern. "Although Rong Qing has killed a lot of people, he has no habit of doing things to women. She didn't expect that after leaving the customs, she only walked around the back garden, and she hadn't gone deep into the government, it was just a mess.
She really wanted to hide in the Void Illusion Realm again, and be a hermit with those founding martial saints.
It can be said that Rong Qing would rather go into battle and encounter a human immortal than play palace fighting with a group of little women. Rong Qing's temperament has always been masculine, taking the right path, fighting force, and fighting is also upright, she has always been the only one who was assassinated by others, but she has never assassinated others. Let Rong Qing play conspiracy and tricks, it's really a needle with his feet - it's not good.
"Your Majesty, the princess, the great Si Nong Kangyun asks to see you." By this time, it was past noon. Liao Xian took a step forward and reported to Rong Qing and Ji Chong. Rong Qing said: "I forgot! It has been four years since the first holy rice was planted, and the harvested holy rice can only be reincarnated nine times as a rice seed. Now that it's summer ploughing season again, I have to replant a few more dumps of rice as rice seeds, otherwise there will be trouble in the future. ”
The holy rice is not a one-time thing, but requires the practitioner to never forget the hard work of agriculture and martial arts throughout his life.
"Alas, the princess will have to bother again." Ji Chong smiled at Rong Qing. Rong Qing said: "To be honest, there will be more things for the king to worry about in the future, on the contrary, in addition to cultivating and fighting every day, it is much easier." What I saw in the harem was just the tip of the iceberg of the government, and when I thought of the you said, I don't even want to go to the court now. I'd better hide in the field and plant rice! ”
Although Ji Chong faced a large foundation, it was inevitable that he would bother, but he did not seem to be anxious, but he looked a little enjoyed. Rong Qing also knew that he was indeed a person with the talent of an emperor, and he did not retreat in the face of difficulties, and had the courage to swim against the current, and his state of mind was also unfathomable. Such a figure will inevitably be one of the candidates for the top in the future, but they will take a different path.
The king has a royal road, and the immortals have a fairy road. Therefore, Rong Qing and Ji Chong complement each other, or they can be regarded as embarrassed.
The next day, on the main hall of the Chuyang Palace, Rong Qing and Ji Chong sat side by side behind the main case. Although Rong Qing no longer wants to come to the court, he still has to show his face occasionally.
The main hall of the palace of Chuyang is more than ten zhang wide, three zhang high, and the four-clawed dragon pillar stands at the corner of the palace, such a majesty is incomparable to the hall of any prince in Jiangdong. The courtiers have hardly changed much, and some are only slightly shaken in their status, because it was Concubine Lu who sat behind the throne before, and after more than ten years of turbulent times, the one who is now sitting on the throne has been replaced by Rong Qing. Among the ministers and ministers, Rong Qing also has a lot of old ones.
Today's Dasi Kou Yinwei, Dasikong Lu Teng, as well as Dasi Nong Kangyun, Minister of State Gongsun Cang, and Taishou Maohong, who is unusually sealed, can be regarded as several pillars of Chuyang today.
"All the ministers, this palace is a person who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and the affairs of the dynasty should be avoided. It's just that the king has not reached the weak crown, and there are inevitably omissions in the court, so he occasionally returns to the court, also for the sake of the stability of Jiangdong's foundation. Rong Qing spoke quietly, and his crisp voice echoed in the hall. Although Ji Chong is a generation of masters, whether it is governing the world or troubled times, the court situation needs to be supported by strength. In fact, Rong Qing's face was also to be shocked from time to time.
"This time the palace is in the court, it is agreed with the king, my Jiangdong now has eight counties and seventy-one counties, even if the palace has been fighting for many years, it is not as good as going to every corner of Jiangdong. The continuation of the foundation requires talents who will go forward and succeed, but it is far from enough to rely on recommendations alone! Therefore, the palace drew up an edict, I Jiangdong will select talents in the future, only move by talent, build a school and a martial arts hall, and set up a scientific examination in the autumn to protect the foundation of Yongchang. ”
As soon as Rong Qing's words came out, the courtiers suddenly nodded their heads, some were distressed, and some had nothing to do with it, and they made a fuss for a while. Because Da Jin's selection of eunuchs is a nine-grade official law, the family monopolizes civil governance and martial arts, so as to even affect the royal family and the clan's heirs, forming a wealthy family. However, Rong Qing's measures will disrupt the monopoly officialdom, which will have a great impact on the world.
"Your Royal Highness, the system of recommendation is inherited from ancient times, and now the imperial examination is used to select talents, I am afraid that it will be more beneficial than profitable." Yin Wei walked out of the court class and bowed to Rong Qing. "The family is a retainer of the king's family, and he has been loyal to his lord for generations. And the imperial examination selection of talents, dragons and snakes are mixed, although they can get talents, they also lose their official positions. If the Founding Martial Saint of the Central Plains won the first place in the temple examination, would His Highness want to hand over his military power and help him rebel? ”
When Ji Chong heard this, his brows jumped suddenly. But Rong Qing said: "Therefore, the establishment of the imperial examination is not an overnight thing, and it must be implemented only if the world is unified." This palace is not going to go its own way, but to raise it well with all your ministers, after all, it is a matter of time before I Jiangdong unify Kyushu Huayu, but how to make the foundation prosperous, we have to work together. ”
