"The matter of the completion of the southern expedition by the Taishi was discussed by the ministers, but the king did not make a decision?"

In the Qishi Mansion, when Lu Chuan heard the report from the visitor, he nodded: "Okay, this mansion knows." ”

The man turned and walked out.

"Didn't make a decision?"

Lu Chuan groaned, "Could it be that the king doesn't want to attack Nan'e but wants to attack Xiqi?"

Ding Ce said: "It's possible. ”

Lu Chuan turned his head and glanced at him unexpectedly, and smiled: "I almost forgot, Ding Ce, you are also a smart person, so you might as well talk about it." ”

This person is indeed as Guo Chen said, with a strategy for the art of war and a talent for governing the world.

It's just a pity that there is no imperial examination system in this era, and the current system of official positions is a hereditary official system.

What is a secular official?

Generations of officials, not only titles, but also official positions have the privilege of hereditary official positions.

This gave the nobles and officials the opportunity to fully share the power and become officials and nobles for generations, ensuring that they were loyal to the dynasty from generation to generation.

This is the role of the bureaucracy.

For example, he Lu Chuan is now a middle doctor of Dashang, if he has a son in the future, then he can be a middle doctor even if he has no ability.

Under such a system, those who can be officials are naturally the children of nobles.

Among the common people, there are too few people who can really have the opportunity to meet big people, and Huai Cai has met too few.

This system was used not only by the Great Shang but also by other vassal states, both civil and military officials.

That's the limit of the times.

After all, this is a very distant pre-Qin era, and even if it is a god and demon version, it will take enough time for a more perfect system to appear.

As for the introduction of a new system......

Lu Chuan didn't think about it.

Although he knows many advanced systems such as the inspection system, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, and the imperial examination system, you don't look at the current situation of the big merchants.

The internal worries have been solved, but there are a lot of external troubles.

As soon as those advanced systems for electing officials such as the imperial examinations came out, the interests of the aristocratic class were harmed.

Now that almost all the court is full of nobles, if he really brings this up, he is afraid that he will be drowned by the spittle of the aristocratic officials the next day.

If Di Xin does this, then it is really a death, and he will not do it with outsiders first.

"Your Excellency has won the prize. ”

Ding Ce said: "Now that the three princes have erected anti-flags, although Donglu is the most powerful on the surface, in fact, Xiqi is the most dangerous. ”

"Oh?"

Lu Chuan smiled: "Why?"

"There are four reasons for this. ”

Ding Ce said: "First, there is a benevolent monarch, second, there are capable people to assist, third, there is the people's attachment, and fourth, the name of the virtuous outside." ”

Lu Chuan said with satisfaction, "Yes, in a word." ”

Ding Ce was right, thinking that Ji Chang had a reputation for a lifetime, and was even called a saint by the people, you can imagine how good his reputation is.

Saints, in the past, only people who had made great contributions to the human race could be called this title, such as Suihuang, Youchao, Fuxi, Shennong, Cangjie and so on.

Ji Chang's greatest achievement lies in calculating the innate gossip that is difficult for mortals to understand into the acquired gossip that mortals can learn.

It's just that Lu Chuan still has some opinions about his saint name, ahem.

For example, he knew that the meatloaf was made from the meat of his own son Bo Yi Kao, and he could still eat it.

This is really not something that ordinary people can make, and tiger poison is not even a child.

But this Ji Sage ......

Maybe it can be said that if he doesn't eat, he will die, and he eats to live!

Gossip involves calculus, and ordinary people really can't understand it.

Ji Chang is a bull who can even calculate things like innate gossip into the sixty-four trigrams of acquired gossip, and what he is best at is naturally arithmetic.

While he runs Xiqi, he has a reputation, and of course, he is still putting it into practical action, and he is very good to the people.

Now he has left Xiqi, who has been running all his life, as well as his reputation and popularity, all of which are left to Ji Fa.

In addition, there is Jiang Ziya's assistance, which is indeed the most dangerous opponent.

Ding Ce thought for a while and asked, "Which one does the lord of the mansion think the king will choose?"

Lu Chuan yawned lazily and said, "Xiqi!"

Ding Ce analyzed it well, and almost everything was analyzed in place, but he was a mortal after all, and his vision was limited.

He didn't know the Xiqi Mandate of Heaven that had been formulated, and the matter of being a god.

But Dixin knew.

Xiqi and Ji Fa are 'destined to return', so he will definitely choose to get rid of Xiqi's big trouble as soon as possible.

Suddenly, Lu Chuan raised his eyes and glanced at his small courtyard and walked out.

......

It was indeed as Lu Chuan expected.

Although there are now three big princes erecting anti-flags, many small princes are shouting.

But Di Xin's heart is indeed Xiqi.

After the next dynasty, Di Xin thought about it for a long time in the Longde Palace, and finally made a decision.

Expedition to the West!

Since he said that Xiqi was destined for heaven, then he would first shatter the so-called destiny.

Otherwise, the strength of Southern Hubei and Eastern Lu is not weak.

As a great prince, Donglu is located in a rich land in the east, rich in salt resources, and has as many as 400,000 troops, which can almost compete with Chaoge.

It is true that Nan'e is relatively weak, but this weakness is relative to the four princes.

For those small princes who only have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it is also a behemoth that cannot be provoked.

If you fight in Southern Hubei, even if you fight it, you will have to pay a lot of price, and it is unrealistic to fight with the princes all the way.

Therefore, it is better to do all your best to bring down this place of Xiqi at this time of strength.

As long as Xiqi is pacified, the so-called mandate of heaven will be destroyed.

It doesn't hurt to recuperate for a few more years, although he is nearly fifty years old, he can afford to wait for nearly three hundred years after cultivating the peak of martial arts.

Moreover, his ambitions were not limited to these vassal states.

There are also Dongyi, Nanban, Xirong, Beidi and other barbarian tribes, very barbaric and ferocious, but also very fierce, from time to time to invade, plunder women and livestock.

That's his goal in the future.

......

When the big business was about to move, some people in Xiqi couldn't sit still.

"It's warm again......"

Jiang Ziya put down the book in his hand, came outside the house, and basked in the warm sunshine.

Of the four seasons of the year, only spring has the best daylight.

In the courtyard, Bukit still practiced martial arts, and used a spear.

Over the years, he has practiced diligently day and night, coupled with some talent in martial arts, so he has entered the realm extremely quickly, and has reached the five extremes realm of martial arts.

"Why did Master come out?"

Seeing Jiang Ziya come out, Wu Ji stopped shooting and laughed.

Jiang Ziya took a long breath and said with a smile: "I can't sit still, and there is more than one teacher who can't sit still." ”

With that, he took a deep look to the east.

To the east of Xiqi is the Great Shang.

Jiang Ziya said: "Get ready, let's go find the lord." ”

Xibohou Mansion.

Ji Fa is also the same as Di Xin, dealing with the music, but relatively speaking, it is much less.

Ji Fa looked very young and handsome, like a gentle son, and he was no more than twenty-five or sixteen years old.

But in fact, he was in his forties.

Speaking of which, he is the same generation as Di Xin, and his father Ji Chang and Di Yi are the same generation.

Di Yi also married Di Xin's aunt to his father, but she died young.

Jiang Ziya is here.

The first sentence that came in was: "Lord, spring has begun, we must defend the main hall and prepare for battle." ”

"Fighting?"

Hearing this, Ji Fa put down the note in his hand and said softly, "Do you want to be the first to rush at us?"

In order to prevent the Great Shang from being the first to conquer them Xiqi, he only erected a banner against them, and did not agree with Jiang Ziya's opinion that he should set himself up as king.

He felt that Xiqi and Dashang would only lose in the end.

However, although it consumed a lot of the national strength of the Great Shang, at that time, I was afraid that they would not be much better in Xiqi, and they would lose their qualifications and strength to compete for the throne.

It's just that I didn't expect that this Di Xin still targeted them.

This made Ji Fa a little puzzled, and even a little depressed.

You see that both sides of Donglu and Nanhu have reversed, and they have been jumping for so many years, shouting every day to fight Chaoge.

But you don't care.

We Xiqi is very interesting, we just put up an anti-flag, and we didn't say anything against Chaoge, but you picked us up.

Co-authored, you just see that we are honest and easy to bully, right?

Jiang Ziya said: "Nine times out of ten." ”

Again, there are some things that mortals can't touch.
