Although he hadn't seen him for a few months, Chen Qi still recognized that this was his precious son Husheng, but how could he be here, besides, this was the important place of his retreat, and he had already ordered no one to come close and disturb him.

Chen Qi looked around, but did not find anyone else, stepped forward to pick up his son, but he was afraid to dodge, obviously he recognized the birth, Chen Qi was stunned, only to remember, he has not seen the child for three months, for Husheng, he is already a little strange, suddenly felt a little guilty, this year, he really rarely accompanied his family.

"Husheng, what about your aunt? She provoked you to cause trouble again?" After all, the blood is connected, Husheng quickly eliminated his strangeness to Chen Qi, and was held in his arms, Husheng naturally couldn't come by himself, there must be someone behind him, except for the bold sister, there will be no one else.

"Hehe, brother, I didn't pick it up, Husheng misses his father, and he found it himself!" "Xiao Yu'er came out of the corner, she is nine years old this year, her eyes are bright, slim, a beautiful embryo, she is followed by a three or four-year-old fat doll, she is holding a braised pig's trotters and gnawing, making her body greasy.

She is Chi Bao, who was adopted by Chen Qi three years ago, she may have been hungry when she was a child, she is very greedy, and she can't stop her mouth every day.

"Do you think I will believe it? Disturb my practice for no reason, and pry the tiger to learn well, be careful that I go to complain to my mother and let you eat the family law!"

"Brother, don't, people miss you!" Xiao Er'er hugged her brother's arm and coquettishly, Chen Qi was helpless, "Okay, forget it this time, what trouble did you get into again, come to me to clean up the aftermath for you?"

Although the little boy is eccentric, he also knows the importance of it, and there is nothing serious, so he will not bother him.

"Hmph, my brother doesn't believe me?" Xiao Er'er turned her head, her eyes were red, obviously she was really wronged.

"Okay, okay, I believe, of course I believe, my sister never lies!"

"It was my mother who asked me to call you, what to say, the king of Zhennan sent someone to find you, there is something important to discuss. ”

"Oh," Chen Qi frowned, more than a year has passed, the new emperor has ascended the throne, the imperial court has stabilized the situation, and began to send the northern army into the Central Plains, one by one to exterminate the rebellious vassal kings, those rabble, naturally not opponents, calculate the time, the imperial court should also pacify the Central Plains and Jiangnan, is it going to use troops against Lingnan?

Chen Qi came to the palace and was taken directly to the study, and when he saw the king of Zhennan, he bowed down to give a salute, but was stopped by Wei Xu, "Master, why do you and my master and apprentice have to be so polite?"

"Today is different from the past, the monarch and the minister are different, and the etiquette cannot be abolished," Chen Qi said rigorously, he knew that the king was a very peculiar creature, not far away from him, not close to him, too close is easy to be hurt, even if Chen Qi is not afraid of these, but for the sake of the Chen family, he will definitely embark on the road of seeking immortality in the future, and future generations may be his only concern.

Wei Xu couldn't stop it, so he could only watch Chen Qi finish his courtesy, "Lord Wang, summon your subordinates today, but because of a change in the imperial court, are you going to send troops to Lingnan?"

"Master, the imperial court is indeed ......"

There was a shocking change in the imperial court, but it was different from what Chen Qi had expected before, under the iron hooves of the elite northern army, seeing that the last rebellious vassal king was about to be exterminated, the barbarian leader in the north suddenly led tens of thousands of iron horsemen to the south, forcibly crossed the river, and attacked the empty Luoyang, and captured the little emperor who had not been on the throne for a long time, together with the queen, the queen mother, the queen mother, and the concubines in the palace, all of them to the northern grassland.

Also abducted were the big and small officials of the court, and the important ministers of the court, and the court institutions were completely paralyzed. And after this catastrophe, the prestige of the court and the royal family was devastated, and they lost control of the world.

Among them, the most powerful are naturally the vassal kings of all walks of life, they occupy the orthodox righteousness, and the big families in various places have bet on them to support their optimistic true destiny, followed by the original states of Taishou and Thorn History, which has lost the constraints of the imperial court, and many people's ambitions have grown, and they have begun to stand on their own.

"It's really a mess in this world!" Chen Qi sighed.

"Master, the world is suffering, this king can't bear it in his heart, will he come out?" Wei Xu's eyes were slightly red, and he seemed to be really sad for the people of the world.

Chen Qi glanced at him in surprise, his acting skills were good, but he was also a necessary quality for a qualified politician, and he suggested, "You don't need to do anything, build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the emperor." ”

"Master, am I really not doing anything?"

"Of course not, when accumulating strength, we must also pay close attention to the movements of other forces, send envoys, contact with the major forces, join forces, strike at the strong, support the weak, we must let them mess up, kill each other, and wait for our strength to be enough, and send troops to level the world in one fell swoop. ”

"That's a brilliant plan!"

"Now that the world is in turmoil, no one can take care of Lingnan," Chen Qi suggested, "This is a good time to carry out the new policy reform, please make a decision quickly!"

"But where should I start?" Regarding the New Deal, Wei Xu and Chen Qi had discussed it for a long time, and there were many policies and directions for the New Deal, and they were chaotic, and they didn't know how to start.

"Governing the government before governing the people, we must first start with the rule of officials!" Chen Qi suggested, "There are many new graduates now, and they can be used to gradually replace the current officials, so that the new policies can be better implemented in the future." ”

The Chen family's school is similar to vocational education, students only need literacy, basic arithmetic, understanding of physics, chemistry, and geography, and the semester is only one year, and more than three years is enough to train several batches.

"Master, this matter is not easy," King Zhennan frowned, "it will definitely arouse the opposition of many people." ”

"We can first recruit these new students as small officials, so that the opposition will be much smaller, and when the time is right, Lord Wang, you announce the merger of officials and break the restrictions on the promotion of officials, and the little officials can also be officials, so that those new students can be promoted to officials in the name of justice. ”

"Master's plan is brilliant! ”

The two discussed many new deal matters, and when it was getting late, Chen Qi went home, greeted his mother, comforted his wife who had not seen him for several months, teased the child, and enjoyed the joy of family.

In this way, Chen Qi stayed at home for more than half a month and did not go anywhere. On this day, his mother and wife were going to the Chenghuang Temple in the west of the city to make a vow, and Chen Qi had to accompany him when he moved in his heart, and the two of them had nothing to do.

Today is just in time for the temple fair, the street in front of the City God Temple, the crowd is full of people, lively, the family members separated the crowd, escorted the mother and wife into the temple to worship, but Chen Qi took advantage of the lack of attention, to perform light skills in the backyard of the City God Temple in a remote place.

There is a large locust tree with several people hugging each other, leaning against the temple wall, with lush branches, blocking the scorching sun and leaving a shade.

Chen Qi hid in the lush canopy of the big locust tree, as long as he didn't look up carefully, he wouldn't find him, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he took out the sky speculum mirror from his arms, pointed the mirror at the City God Temple, and then pinched the law with his hand and pointed it on the mirror.

The original ordinary City God Temple, the image on the sky speculator has undergone great changes.

Light, golden light!

Every piece of brick and stone of the City God Temple, every piece of rubble, is wrapped in a faint golden light, the closer to the central hall dedicated to the City God, the more radiant the light, to the end countless golden light gathered in the sky above the central hall, turned into a huge golden auspicious cloud, faintly praying, chanting sound came.

Chen Qi was a little excited, these golden lights are the power of incense, which is invisible to the naked eye, he didn't expect that an ordinary City God Temple would have so much power of incense, and the most important thing is that there is no trace of gods in the golden auspicious clouds, which means that these incense are ownerless.

"Is the power of discovery incense charged?"

"Of course!"

It took a quarter of an hour to absorb all the incense power of the City God Temple, a full 50,000 points, which made Chen Qi very happy, but he was a little puzzled, this City God Temple is not the most vigorous incense in Guangzhou City, it can only be regarded as medium, and the believers are mostly people nearby, only a few thousand people, how can there be so much power of incense?

50,000 points of incense is the incense contributed by 50,000 believers in a year, there is only one possibility, the power of these incense is accumulated over the years, that is to say, the gods of this city god temple have been vacant for many years, so where are the gods here? Have they fallen? Why are no other gods coming to occupy them?
