Inside the Imperial Study.

Yang Qi looked at his son, who was dark and emaciated, standing in front of him, and his expression was a little dazed.

In a blink of an eye, the beard at the corner of his son's mouth rose, and he realized that he had become a middle-aged man.

What his son has experienced outside over the years, Yang Qi knows everything about it.

For his son to make himself black and thin, even though Yang Qi felt pity in his heart, his face was still cold.

"Found it?"

"Found it!"

"That's good, go to the harem to see your mother, and from tomorrow, I will come to the court with me to watch the government."

"The retainers obey."

Father and son are not like father and son, but more like a pair of monarchs and ministers.

Teaching his son, Yang Qi has no experience, teaching a prince, Yang Qi has no experience.

He could only rely on his own exploration to cultivate Yang Zongwei.

At the age when he should play and learn, Yang Qi let go and let him play and let him learn.

As he grew up, Yang Qi became more and more strict with him.

Because Yang Zongwei's shoulders are heavier.

If Yang Qi can't teach him well, it will not be the Yang family that suffers in the end, but the people of the entire Great Yan Kingdom.

Yang Qi has seen a lot of the governing concepts of the inner and outer kings in books, but each of them is very general.

He can only rely on his own experience to build his son into a qualified emperor.

So many people in the palace can see and feel.

Between the treatment of the eldest son and the second son, Yang Qi has a double standard.

He was strict with his eldest son, but very tolerant of his second son.

After Yang Zongwei bowed to Yang Qi, he withdrew from the imperial study.

He was unwilling to treat him like this, but he could understand.

After several years of tempering, he has served as a small official, a county commander, a prison officer, and even toured various places as an inspector.

He has been everywhere from south to north.

He has seen poverty, he has seen wealth, he has endured hardship, he has enjoyed wealth.

He had seen the barbarians trembling under the iron hooves of the Yan army, and he had also seen an official in a position of high office often go to help the people work.

He has seen the poverty and laziness of the barbarians, and he has also seen the wealth and industriousness of the Yan people.

He also understood what his father's slap meant after he killed some of the slave hunters.

At first, he had suspected that Yang Qi didn't like him and planned to pass on the throne to his favored second brother.

He had written to his mother many times to verify the matter.

There is only one answer.

Those in high positions have heavier burdens than others.

After Yang Zongwei returned to the harem, he first went to see his grandmother, the Queen Mother She Saihua, and in She Saihua's distressed eyes, he went to the queen's palace to meet the queen mother.

The two people who loved him the most wept.

But no one said that it was wrong for Yang Qi to do this.

The next morning.

There is a small desk in the Qianyuan Palace.

It's not in the front of the road, and it's even a little remote.

But no one ignored its presence, because behind it sat a skinny and skinny youth.

The emergence of youth foreshadows many things.

He foreshadowed that the rumors of his brother's death were self-defeating.

He also foreshadowed that the tyrannical Yan Kingdom finally had a prince.

Yang Zongwei saw many familiar figures in the court.

Liu Yong, Yan Shu, Ouyang Xiu, Bao Zheng and other partners he is familiar with from childhood to adulthood.

In the past few years that Yang Zongwei has been out to practice, everyone has not been idle.

They have relied on their extraordinary abilities to become among the courts.

It's just a little different from what Yang Zongwei imagined.

Liu Yong, who is excellent in poetry, has now entered the education department, and he has swayed the pen and ink of famous articles, and now he has become a pen that writes beautiful educational essays.

Bao Zheng, who has a delicate mind, has studied criminal prisons intensively and has participated in cracking many major cases.

Yan Shu has a soft spot for the law, and he has already helped Yan Guo change three laws.

Ouyang Xiu followed Su Yijian and became his secretary.

……

"When~"

After the golden bell of the upper dynasty rang.

Yang Qi was greeted by hundreds of officials and entered the Qianyuan Palace.

Wait until the hundred officials have given their salutes.

Yang Qi cut straight to the point and began to explain the governance of the newly incorporated land in the northeast.

From beginning to end, Yang Qi didn't introduce Yang Zongwei to the hundred officials, so that the hundred officials could get to know him again.

After the next dynasty.

When Yang Zongwei was about to pounce on him to catch up with his former friend, Kou Zhun appeared in front of him.

"Come with me."

Yang Zongwei was stunned for a moment, not knowing why.

Kou Zhun said: "Your Majesty has an order, for nearly half a year, after you go down to the court every day, you will follow me to the Yamen of the Maritime Administration." ”

Yang Zongwei had a bitter face, shook his head at Liu Yong and the others who had already come over, and then followed Kou Zhun out of the Qianyuan Palace.

After Liu Yong and the others were stunned, they shook their heads and smiled and withdrew from the Qianyuan Palace.

There are many yamen in the Yan Kingdom.

Far more than in the Tang and Song dynasties.

However, the number of officials employed was far less than in the Tang and Song dynasties.

Every official and every position has something to do.

Except for some special officials who will be given certain special titles during special periods.

For the rest of the time, the officials can only hold one official position on their heads.

Those officials who are idle and vacant will not appear in the court.

They basically eat at home and wait for death.

If you want to go to the court, unless you show your real skills, you won't even be able to enter the door of the Qianyuan Palace.

After many years of repeated restructuring and improvement by Yang Qi.

The yamen on the court of the Yan Kingdom has been perfected.

The highest ranking of the yamen is the three pavilions.

They are wealth, power, and the military.

Under their subordinate jurisdiction are the yamen of the ministries.

And so on.

Yang Qi needed Yang Zongwei to travel through the middle-level yamen and the highest three pavilions within five years.

Yang Zongwei stuffed his head and began his experience of walking in various yamen.

……

Two months have passed in a flash.

As Yang Qi expected, the war between Yanshu and Shu did not start in the end.

Cao Can was very bold to invite back Cao Wei, who was in the Peacock Dynasty.

Under Cao Wei's persuasion, Cao Bin gave up his plan to attack Yan.

The two countries of Yanshu began a years-long war of words.

Cao Bin asked Yang Qi for his grandson, but Yang Qi pushed and dragged left and right and refused to give it.

The scolding war has escalated frequently.

The two sides are gearing up one by one.

But he didn't mean to do it in earnest.

……

At the end of the year.

There was a burst of bad news from the Jin Kingdom.

Folded Yuxun couldn't hold on.

She Saihua ignored everyone's dissuasion and questioned that he rushed to the Jin Kingdom to give his brother a ride.

The Jin Kingdom's conquest of the Holy Roman Empire also stopped because of this incident.

The princes are going to rush back to the Jin Kingdom to visit Zhe Yuxun.

But he stopped them.

Under the witness of She Saihua, he issued an order to let the imperial secretary supervise the country.

At the same time, he handwrote an edict of succession and handed it to She Saihua.

He clearly told the world that after his death, he would not mourn for the time being, but would be placed in the palace.

When the sons conquered the Holy Roman Empire, they returned to the prefecture, buried him, and received the reward and succession to the throne.

His approach really shocked the world.

He used his body and brotherhood to block the mind of Yu Qing to seek the usurpation of the throne during the prison period.

He used his death to force his sons to quickly take over the Holy Roman Empire.

He borrowed She Saihua's hand and borrowed the power of Yan Guo to deter all those who had different intentions.

In the end, he pinched a jade plate and died in She Saihua's arms.

The jade plaque that carried the entrustment of two generations became the last guarantee of the Jin Kingdom.

After She Saihua returned to Yan Kingdom, she never said anything about the edict of the Jin Kingdom.

She just went to Yang Qi to cry and told Yang Qi that when she returned to China, Zhen Yuxun's body had begun to decompose.

Watching Zhe Yuxun stink and finally rot into muddy water, Yang Qi couldn't do it.

He made a decree.

To the battlefield of the Holy Roman Empire, increase the number of troops by 50,000.

Accelerated the time for the fall of the Holy Roman Empire.

The seventeenth year of the Qianyuan Dynasty.

The fall of the Holy Roman Empire.

The Jin State won this war, not only obtained a large piece of land that was not lost to the Yan State, but also obtained a large amount of wealth.

Several brothers of the Fold family returned to Fuzhou.

She Saihua, accompanied by the soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom, also rushed to Fuzhou and read out the edict left by the Imperial Commander.

The edict of the Emperor shocked everyone in the world.

He actually adopted the sub-feudal system that had been abandoned, and divided several sons.

With the exception of the eldest son, who succeeded to the throne as suzerain, the other sons were divided into the lands of the conquered Holy Roman Empire.

The Imperial Secretary of the State was also divided.

There is only one prefecture.

Fuzhou was given to Zhe Yuqing and became his feudal state.

The newly succeeded emperor of the Jin State naturally had to move.

In the words of Zhe Yuxun in the edict, the sons can toss as much as they want outside, but they can't move the prefecture.

Fuzhou is the ancestral land of the Zhe family, and it must always be guarded.

……

Many people can't understand the adoption of the sub-seal system for the Folding Imperial Order.

Only Yang Qi can understand.

Conquering the homeland of the Holy Roman Empire, the Ori family became a superpower with a high territory.

In terms of territorial area, it is almost larger than the Yan Kingdom.

And between the Holy Roman Empire and the former Jin Kingdom, there is a long and narrow next door, a huge desert.

There is no way to govern together, so it is inevitable to divide the seals.

The Jin State is not as good as the Yan Kingdom, the territories are not connected together, and there are moats to block it, so it has to be so.

……

The affairs of the Jin Kingdom came to an end.

Yanguo ushered in an unprecedented good news.

The steam engine made by Cao Tong and Yang Lezhi was finally completed.

To be precise, it should be Cao Tong, Yang Lezhi, and Tom Chen.

Tomson also got involved in the end.

Yan Kingdom Palace.

The Imperial Study.

Yang Qi looked at the three of them with an eager expression.

"I'm so relieved!"

Yang Lezhi said excitedly: "Father, you told Erchen before, if Erchen can make it, you will give Erchen a workshop." ”

Yang Qi laughed loudly, "I am in the northeast, and I have prepared a land of two mansions for you to build a huge workshop. Everything you have researched can be made in it. ”

Yang Lezhi smiled.

When Tang Chen took advantage of Yang Qi's happiness, he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Yanmen Pass has now become an arsenal, and nothing else is made except weapons.

There is a group of people who don't like to make weapons, but they like to make other strange things.

The minister wanted to take them and follow the second prince. ”

Yang Qi was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Yes!" ”

Among the three heroes.

Only Cao Tong didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Yang Qi saw that he had something on his mind.

So at the last moment, he let Yang Lezhi and Tom Chen leave first, leaving Cao Tong alone.

After Yang Qi invited Cao Tong to sit down, he let out a long sigh, "Homesick?" ”

Cao Yan's tears flowed uncontrollably.

Cao Tong wiped his tears and said, "Master, I don't want to cry, but the tears are not angry, they just run out." ”

Yang Qi patted him on the shoulder and said softly, "Men don't flick when they have tears." Homesick and crying, there is nothing to be ashamed of. ”

Cao Tong was homesick, and Yang Qi saw this matter when he first entered the imperial study.

The little guy used to focus on the production of the steam engine, so he didn't have that much attachment to home.

Now the steam engine is complete.

After he let go of his nervous thoughts, all the feelings of homesickness came to his heart.

The hearts of the people are gone.

I can't keep it if I want to.

Yang Qi was reluctant to let him go, especially after the steam engine was researched, let him go.

He thought about ending Cao Tong with one sword.

But in the end, under Cao Tong's tears, he gave up.

Since Cao Tong can't go.

Then the only way to get Cao Yan's parents to Yan Kingdom.

A war between the two countries of Yanshu is inevitable.

Yang Qi groped with the little guy's head and said with a smile: "Since you are homesick, the master will find a way to take your parents over." ”

Cao Tong had tears in his eyes, and said with a stunned face: "Will the imperial grandfather agree?" ”

The little guy grew up beside Yang Qi since he was a child, and in addition to being attached to his parents, he really doesn't have much affection for Cao Bin.

So when he heard Yang Qi say that he could take over his parents, he didn't object, but asked Cao Bin if he was willing.

Yang Qi comforted Cao Tong and said, "You don't need to worry about this matter, the master has his own opinions." ”

Cao Tong nodded, "I listen to the master." ”

Yang Qi patted him, "Let's go and celebrate with Lezhi." I finally built a steel beast, how can I do it without celebrating. ”

Cao Yan happily ran out of the imperial study.

Cao Tong left.

The smile on Yang Qi's face gradually subsided.

"Chen Lin!"

"The slave is here!"

"Summoning all the officials of the Military Cabinet Cabinet, the Finance Cabinet, the Cabinet, and the Three Pavilions to the Imperial Study."

"喏~"

“……”

After a while.

The important ministers of the three cabinets gathered together.

Yang Qigao sat on the dragon chair, looked at them and said, "I want to fight with the Shu Kingdom, what do you think?" ”

Su Yijian and the others glanced at each other and were not surprised.

Lu Duan groaned, "But is it because of the steel giant beast that has just been built? ”

Yang Qi nodded expressionlessly, "Cao Yi misses, I don't want to let him go, and I don't want to break his heart." Therefore, the only way to fight with Shu is to let them hand over Cao Tong's parents. ”

Su Yijian frowned and said, "Your Majesty, if you provoke a war for a child, it will be bad for the reputation of my Yan Country if it spreads. ”

Yang Qi said indifferently: "I summoned you here to let you find a way to force Shu to provoke a war first." ”

After thinking about it, the ministers began to come up with ideas.

Cao Bin's tolerance for Yang Qi has reached its limit.

His body can't hold it anymore, and he can't wait to hope that he can fight with Yang Qi in his lifetime and establish the hegemony of Shu.

Therefore, it is not difficult to provoke Cao Bin's anger and let Cao Bin start a war.
