At the banquet, after a long period of silence, Yan Xi, the noble son beside Zhao Jie, suddenly said: In Brother Zhao's opinion, how should my Yan Kingdom be reformed. ”

"Absolute monarchy, centralized power."

"What is absolute monarchy, centralization?"

"The monarch is an absolute monarch, the monarch holds the power of the world, enjoys the benefits of the world, and the king is also the person who participates in the heaven and the earth. Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, the king's ministers, the fate of the farmers, the merchants, slaves and maids are all determined by the king. ”

"For those who centralize power, the affairs of the world are decided by the central court, and the local counties and counties shall not be given the right to dictate and arbitrary, and the generals of the border army shall not be allowed to carry out the affairs of conquest by the orders of the imperial court. The central court gathers the power of the world and does the things of the world, which will be hopeless and disadvantageous. ”

"After the absolute monarchy and centralization, in Brother Zhao's opinion, what should Wuyan do and how should I deal with the princes?"

"The land of Yan country, there is Yehu in the north, Fuqi in the south, strong Zhao in the west, weak Korea in the east, living in a corner of China, this is the land of Yan country, and the person who is afraid of it today is not Zhao Qi as the world says, and the patients of Yan country are the country that unifies the Central Plains, if there is a country that unifies the Central Plains, then the time of Yan's death can be expected. Fang Jinwu presents three strategies for Yan Guo:

The best policy: the internal political innovation, the implementation of absolute monarchy, centralized power, then the king can use the power of the whole country to act, develop Liaodong, Korea, lightly pay for the poor, rest with the people; Outside, he and Qi Zhao, destroy Korea, resist Donghu, and go to the Central Plains in the south after the four mirrors are stabilized. However, there is a difficulty in this policy, that is, to maintain the balance of power among all countries in the world, and no country can unify the Central Plains until the soldiers are sufficient.

Medium strategy: build high walls, do a complete defense on the border, do a perfect defense system in various cities in the country, if the enemy country attacks, then defend layer by layer, and carry out scorched earth resistance; accumulate grain, and use the commodities of the Yan Kingdom to accumulate wealth, grain and grass for long-term resistance; Peerless in the world, ignoring the general trend of the world, developing silently, waiting for the future. Although this strategy is not very difficult, but Yan Yu is in the fire, and the chance to dominate the world is gone.

The next strategy: make an appointment with the overlord, attack Qi in the south, and attack Zhao in the west, in order to seek the overlord of the whole Yan Zhisheji, this strategy is in danger, and the fate of the Yan country is all in the overlord's thoughts.

This is my offer of three strategies, you are all the wise men of Yan, please also relay it before the Yan Lord, as for the Yan Lord's strategy, by the Yan Lord's own decision, the boy is here to thank you. ”

"Tomorrow, the kid is going to leave Yan Country and go to Qi Country to study, and now it's getting late, please ask the drama general Xu Wu to leave the table first and go back to the inn to pack up."

After the drama Xin agreed, Zhao Jie left Fengyue Building, and Lin Ruyi, Fei Jin, Zhao Ying, Li Dui, Xu Yang, and Lian Zheng left the table one after another.

Later generations believe that this banquet is the first time Zhao Jie put forward his own thoughts, is the starting point of Zhao Jie's fame in the world, and Zhao Jie put forward several ideas named "Fengyuelou Doctrine", and this Fengyuelou is therefore prosperous, become a scenery of thistle, people say: do not swim Fengyue is not to thistle"

The next morning, Zhao Jie quietly left, just as he came quietly, without taking a cloud, so far Zhao Jie's trip to Yan Country ended, and Zhao Jie and his party once again embarked on a new journey, towards a broader world.

*******************************************************************************

Zhao Jie and his entourage left Jicheng, traveled for four or five days, to Anxu, the world said that "the Yellow Emperor ruled the world to establish all the countries from the beginning of Anxu", so Zhao Jie entered the city to hang the Yellow Emperor, looking at the prosperity of Anxu, he couldn't help but feel the vicissitudes of life in the world.

Walk for another five or six days, to the Yellow River, at this time the Yellow River because the Loess Plateau has not yet been formed, the upstream soil erosion is not serious, so the water is still clear, the turbulent Yellow River water feeds the people on both sides, and the towns on both sides of the river are built one after another. Under the ferrying of fishermen who make a living from the Yellow River, Zhao Jie and his party crossed the Yellow River in turn, and a flat boat sailed on the vast Yellow River. After another seven or eight days, we will go to Tang City, and after a day of rest, we will set off again and finally arrive at Linzi.

Linzi is the capital of the Qi State, consisting of a large city and a small city, the small city is in the southwest of the big city, and the two cities are connected. The big city is Guocheng, the plane is rectangular, the east wall is built near the river, it is the place where officials, commoners and merchants live; The small castle is Miyagi, and the northeast is embedded in the large city. There are a large number of iron-smelting, copper-smelting, and coin-making workshops in the big city. "Water Jing Note" contains: "Zishui is north, through the east of the city, the city is near Zishui, so it is called Linzi, King Wu with its land to seal the princess, give it four shoes, all camp mound for Qi." In 1045 B.C., Jiang Taigong Zuo Zhou Wu King destroyed Shang Xingzhou, and was awarded the first merit in Qi and built the capital Yingqiu. In 866 BC, Jiang Jing, the half-brother of the Duke of Qi Ai, was established as the monarch of Qi, which was the Duke of Qi Hu. Because Yingqiu and Ji Guo were only separated by a Zishui, Qi Hugong was afraid that the monarch of Ji Guo would harm him, so he moved the capital from Yingqiu to Bogu. In 859 B.C., Jiang Shan, the younger brother of the same mother of Qi Aigong, led the Yingqiu people to attack Bogu, killed Qi Hugong, and established himself as the king of Qi, called Qi Xiangong. After Qi Xiangong ascended the throne, the capital was restored to Yingqiu. In order to prevent the invasion of Ji Guo, he expanded Yingqiu City. Because the east wall of Yingqiu City after the expansion is close to Zishui and built along the river, Qi Xiangong renamed Yingqiu City Linzi. As the capital of the Qi Kingdom, Linzi has prospered for thousands of years, witnessed one historical moment after another, and appreciated the cultural prosperity of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

At the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Duke of Qi Huan worshiped Guan Zhong as the prime minister, the monarch and the ministers were concentric, worked hard, rectified the government internally, carried out routine reforms, and respected the king externally. - Shouba

At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Yan Ying Qi assisted the internal Kuang national government, repeatedly advised Jing Gong, and promoted the virtuous Sima Sui Tho, Yue Shifu, etc.; To go out to other countries, he is shrewd and eloquent, and does not disgrace his mission, so that the country of Qi is famous among the princes. - Revival

At the beginning of the Warring States Period, Kang Gong lost the country, Tian Dai Qi, Tian Qi III Huan Gong Tian Wu in the national capital Linzi Jixia Xue Palace, "set up the number of doctors", to gather the world's wise men. By the time of King Wei and King Xuan, Jixia was full of talents and became the center of oriental academic culture. - Change of ownership

In the middle of the Warring States Period, King Qi Wei appointed Zou Ji as the prime minister to reform politics, and appointed Tian Ji and Sun Bin as generals. - Zaiba

In the middle and late Warring States Period, King Yan Zhao, the monarch of the feud Yan State, took Le Yi as the general, and Heyan, Qin, Han, Zhao, and Wei attacked Qi, attacked Linzi, and even more than 70 cities. Later, at the last moment, Tiandan defeated the Yan army with the "Fire Bull Array" and regained the lost territory. - Decline

When Zhao Jie and his entourage arrived in Linzi, it was 267 AD, the summer of the 32nd year of King Zhao Huiwen. At this time, the reigning monarch of Yan State is the King of Qi Xiang, the experience of King Qi Xiang is quite legendary, it is rumored that Yan State gathered Qin, Chu, Han, Zhao, Wei five countries of a total of six countries to attack Qi State, Qi State was defeated, Qi Xiang Wang's father Qi Xiang Wang was defeated and fled, on the way was killed by Chu general Nao Ya. After King Qi was killed, King Qi Xiang changed his name and surname to work as a servant in the house of Taishi Ji in Jucheng. Tai Shiji's daughter felt that King Qi Xiang was strange and great, and thought that he was not an ordinary person, so she liked him very much, treated him very well, and often stole food and clothing from him. Later, King Qi Xiang told her his true identity, and she had an affair with Tian Fazhang. After Naoya left Jucheng, the people of Jucheng and the fugitive ministers of Qi gathered together to find the son of King Qi and wanted to support him as king. King Qi Xiang was afraid that they would kill him, and it was a long time before he dared to declare that he was the son of King Qi Xiang. So the Ju people jointly supported the king of Qi Xiang as the king, guarded Jucheng for the king of Qi Xiang, and announced to all parts of the Qi country that the king of Qi had succeeded to the throne in Jucheng. After King Qi Xiang succeeded to the throne, the daughter of Tai Shi Ji was the queen, known as the queen, and it didn't take long for the queen to give birth to a son Tian Jian for King Qi Xiang. King Xiang of Qi has lived in Jucheng for five years, the general of Qi Tian Dan used Jimo as a base to break through the Yan army, and went to Jucheng to welcome King Qi Xiang back to Linzi, the capital of Qi State, and all the territories lost before Qi State were recovered, so King Qi Xiang made Tianshan the king of Anping.

King Qi Xiang has been reigning for more than ten years, Qi recuperated under his governance, and gradually recovered its national strength, Qi has signs of revival again, and King Qi Xiang is also rumored to be a holy monarch in the mouth of the people of Qi. But according to Zhao Jie's investigation, in the eyes of the officials, scribes, and elites of Qi State, King Qi Xiang is not the so-called holy monarch, perhaps because his life experience when he was young was too tortuous, King Qi Xiang was indecisive by nature, mediocre in intelligence, and had no imperial talent, but he married a good wife, Tai Shi Ling, the daughter of Jucheng Tai Shi Ling. After he got married, his father said: "If a woman marries without a plan, she is not my species, and she will pollute my world." (My daughter did not marry herself because of the introduction of the matchmaker, and she was not worthy of being my daughter, which tarnished the reputation of my ancestors.) Then the queen was never seen again, and from such a virtuous family, with such a virtuous father, the queen naturally developed a benevolent and virtuous character, and she did her best to assist King Xiang, so that the Qi kingdom could recover in a very short time.

Linzi City is the most prosperous city in the Warring States period, people say: "Linzi road, the car hits, people rub their shoulders, even the curtain into a curtain, raise the curtain into a curtain, sweat into rain." In the past, Qi Xiangyanzi's evaluation of Linzi was even more spread in the world: "Qi's Linzi has three hundred Lu, Zhang Yuan has become a curtain, sweating into rain, and he is shoulder to shoulder." ”

Zhao Jie and his entourage once again met the people of the inner guard at the city gate, and under their leadership, they walked into this legendary Linzi City. Walking on the road in the city, I saw the men dressed in brocade, the women in the car wearing gold and silver, and the shops on both sides of the road were full of goods, and the jewelry was shining with gold and shining. Zhao Jie and his entourage entered the city from the north gate, under the leadership of the internal guard to the southwest, the more to the southwest, Zhao Jie found that there were more and more people around him, and he walked forward in the crowd for an hour, Zhao Jie finally arrived at the inn booked by the internal guard, this inn is roughly located in the southwest of Linzi City, only ten minutes away from Jimen, Zhao Jie, Li Min, Integrity, Lin Shouyi, Fei Jin, Xu Yang, Zhao Ying hurriedly tidied up the room, and went downstairs, Commanding the internal guards, they led them to the holy place in everyone's minds, the Jixia School Palace.
