The night wind in the lotus pond is fragrant and refreshing. Si Kou Tianheng carried his hands on his back and looked at the slowly flowing live water, his mind was not sure where he floated.

Suddenly, Tian Jian, a servant, came over hurriedly and reported: "Master, the minister of Yangcheng heard that Su Mo was the Grand Situ, and changed his recommendation to the selection, and he had already defected."

Yangcheng Zai refers to Tian Kuo. After he became an adult, his brother Tian Guang became a senior official and became the chief of his fief Yangcheng.

Tian Heng suddenly raised his head, his eyes wide open, as if anger arose from his heart, but he immediately took a breath, his expression no longer changed, and the ancient well was no longer in waves.

"Let him go." He said indifferently.

Tian Jian was surprised: "Master, how can this be done?"

What the Lord means to give up Yangchengzai?

Tian Heng glanced at him without any emotion and emphasized: "Let him go."

Tian Jian didn't dare to express his doubts anymore, bowed to say yes, and left the pavilion.

After watching the lotus pond for a moment, Tian Heng suddenly sighed and whispered to himself:

"It's good..."

…………

In the palace of King Chen, Meng Qi, Jiang Zhiwei and others who were waiting for the first court meeting were discussing what to do next.

Over the past month, they have repeatedly pondered and practiced what to say when they met King Chen, so they couldn't tell the truth about how to implement their "save the country" after King Chen adopted the suggestion. There were still many difficulties in discussing overnight.

"King Chen himself is a master, and he has the support of non-fixed officials and scholars. He has many powerful people under his command. As long as he can firmly gain a determination, he can vigorously implement the national policy of abolishing Guanjin taxes and using his powers, at least no noble will have any fierce reaction in Shangying. He is afraid that he will be lip service and distort the good national policy. Not only will he not have a good effect, but he will offend the two countries of Chu and Tang or waste money."

As the crown prince, Zhao Heng had the most say in similar situations. In the past, when the royal family still had majesty, top families liked to do this the most.

Qi Zhengyan, who has always been taciturn, expressed his opinion a little actively after taking turns to lecture: "The scope of Shangxian's ability can be temporarily controlled in the palace, several key yamen, Shangchang officials and the army directly under King Chen, will not over-infringe on the 'profit' of the nobles, so there will be less obstacles."

These are the places where King Chen has the strongest control, and even if the nobles want to use small means, they cannot interfere.

As for the army, the world of Fengshen is different from the worlds of Meng Qi and others. There are many formation diagrams left behind. As long as you select a good expert and cooperate with the formation diagram to practice more. In addition, the corresponding treasure soldiers are enough to compete for the outdoor scene for a short time, so there is room for the army to exist. However, except for a very few special formation diagrams, most of them cannot fly. If it is a surprise attack, there are not many opportunities to come in handy, and defense and frontal wars are good.

"Well, at the beginning, we must try our best to avoid intensifying conflicts. We will attract interference from the State of Chu and the Secret Taoist Sect. When both the "profit" and "use" are revealed, we can make drastic moves with the tacit approval of the forces who taste the sweetness!" Meng Qi affirmed Qi Zhengyan's method. Before the court meeting began, they would report the results of the discussion to King Chen again.

Jiang Zhi frowned slightly: "Shangxian's use of energy and burial are for the time being only involved in King Chen and people from a small range, and are not afraid of interference. The taxes on Guanjin must be abolished, and the fiefs must cooperate with the nobles. Otherwise, they will be withdrawn today, set up tomorrow, or use other methods to stir up trouble. There is no way to implement them."

If the tax on customs and capital cannot be abolished, it will not be able to attract merchants. If it cannot attract merchants, it will be difficult to see their "profit". Few things without profit can be accomplished!

Convincing King Chen is the beginning, and the real difficulties are still ahead!

"Strengthen inspections and kill the chicken to warn the monkey?" Ruan Yushu said.

Jiang Zhiwei nodded and said, "This is a way. As long as we can scare the 'monkeys' for a short time and prevent them from making trouble for a while, we can implement it smoothly and things will be much easier."

As long as the new national curator shows attractive interests, the "monkey" who is afraid to make trouble for the time being will become unwilling to make trouble!

Although Meng Qi can pat his butt and leave after a month, no matter what the follow-up, they finally feel compassion and unbearable. How could King Chen leave a mess with such respect and respect for himself and others?

"Kill the chicken to warn the monkey? What chicken to kill?" Hearing the opinions of the two girls, Zhao Heng laughed, "Most of the guards at the level can only be nine orifices. What's the use of killing them? The nobles have long cleaned their own relations and even helped the guards escape, so that we can't get evidence to attack, and the majesty of King Chen is gone."

"And there are too many similar levels, so how can we have so many people to monitor? As long as such levels exist for a few days and cause losses to merchants, they will doubt King Chen's determination to abolish the tax on Guanjin. They will no longer believe that even if all the relevant cards can be cleared in the future, they will no longer be able to make merchants automatically falsely tell the State of Chen in a short period of time."

"When King Chen always believes in us if he fails to gain benefits in a short period of time?"

This kind of problem in execution is the most insidious. For a moment, Meng Qi and others thought hard and couldn't find a way. It's really easy to kill the King of Hell, but it's hard to deal with the little ghost!

Suddenly, Meng Qi remembered a book he had read in the past, and his mind flashed with inspiration, and his palms closed: "I have a way!"

"What's the solution?" Jiang Zhiwei and others looked at him one after another.

Meng Qi recovered his mood and pretended to be profound and smiled: "This matter is not difficult."

"Stop keeping it aside, don't show off in front of us." Jiang Zhi cursed with a smile.

Meng Qi coughed: "The fortresses at the junction with all countries are under the control of King Chen, and this part of the Guanjin tax is the easiest to abolish."

Zhao Heng and others nodded slightly. This is the easiest part. It is not difficult to do as long as you subsidize the masters of the guard or replace them with the selected person.

"So, you only need to issue a King Chen order to merchants when they pass through these fortresses, and most of the remaining levels will not be a problem." Meng Qi still smiled unfathomablely.

"What order?" Ruan Yushu was curious, just like food was placed in front of him and could not be enjoyed.

Meng Qi first smiled, then had a stern face and a solemn expression: "Anyone who collects taxes from Guanjin will be killed without guilt!"

"Is it guilty of killing?" Zhao Heng said in a lost voice.

Such "commands" were beyond his imagination.

Jiang Zhiwei was confused at first, and then smiled: "It's so good. There are many masters who can walk among the countries. It's just that due to the shock of the strong men of various countries, they obediently paid the tax on customs and capital. At that time, the guardians who are not outside will not be able to stop them!"

The nations are in chaos, and the merchants who dare to walk around the world will not have any masters or backstages? As long as the order proposed by Meng Qi is implemented, they can "borrow" their power to alleviate the danger of their lack of manpower and help Chen supervise various checkpoints!

"It's a real trick! And the determination of King Chen to abolish the tax on Guanjin was clearly passed on to the merchants." Zhao Heng praised.

Meng Qi enjoyed their praise and kept smiling and continued, "If the nobles use the outdoor scene or the army with the formation map, then they will be able to run away from the monks and cannot run away from the temple, which is enough to let us kill the chicken and warn the monkeys."

He paused and said, "Even this matter can be taken the initiative. At that time, we will divide the manpower and mix in a caravan with average strength. When encountering strong outdoor locations or army with formation maps, we can attack directly. Follow the clues and kill the chicken to warn the monkey. Anyway, 'killing is not a crime'!"

"However, don't force the nobles behind the scenes too much. You can punish them severely, but you cannot completely intensify the conflicts. This will make other nobles sad, connect with each other, start a civil war, and give Chu an excuse to interfere and let the new national policy die when it is fragile."

Qi Zhengyan said tacitly without expression: "So, we have to choose the 'chicken'."

Meng Qi nodded and said, "Chen State is a small country. There are not many powerful nobles outside King Chen. The three families represented by "former Dasitu" Wang Dan, "Dasiko" Tian Heng, and "Dasikong" Gong Yang Zeng are the best. They not only have top experts, but also control the court. They have a large fiefdom and many levels. If you want to kill a chicken to warn the monkey, you have to choose between them."

Although the words are plain, they are murderous.

"Si Kou Tianheng has been passed down for many generations and has a close relationship with some nobles of Chu State, so it is not a suitable partner." Zhao Hengxian denied the family.

Ruan Yushu's voice was neither high nor low, saying: "Sikong Yang Zeng is said to have a son learning martial arts in the Golden Light Cave of Wudang Mountain."

"It seems that only the 'Former Situ' Wang Dan, who was robbed of the position by me..." Meng Qi pondered, "His family is the oldest nobleman in the Chen State. He is the retainer of the first generation of Chen Bo. He has many masters in the clan, and his relatives and friends are everywhere, but there are no strong support outside. It is just right for you to take action. When you get into an ordinary caravan, it is best to pass through his fief."

"Okay." Jiang Zhiwei and others said.

After the matter was over, Meng Qi and others met King Chen again before the court meeting was held, and explained their own plot.

…………

Compared with the previous court meetings, because King Chen began to follow the Mo family, this time he became clean and refreshing, no longer had red tape, and soon returned to his position and waited for King Chen to speak.

The only thing that made Meng Qi not very satisfied was that his mustard ring and sword objects were placed outside and were under the supervision of the guards, just like when he met King Chen before.

Because this is a world with strange and powerful secret treasures, although King Chen is a master, he has to be wary of danger. Not only Meng Qi, but also the treasure soldiers of the other ministers and doctors and items similar to mustard seed rings were taken down.

"There are yellow spring hand bones in my mustard seed ring, and the sea beads are not formed. My treasure soldiers are top-grade and middle-grade. Don't lose them..." Meng Qi muttered in his heart. If they lose them, how many good things will be!

King Chen looked around and announced the first thing, that is, Meng Qi was the Grand Situ governing the government, and Jiang Zhiwei and others assisted the small Situ.

When the announcement was made, many eyes were projected towards Meng Qi, all of which seemed to be physical, but one of them was quite indifferent, which surprised Meng Qi.

In response, this is a young man with a tall crown and ancient robe, a handsome man with a handsome style and an outstanding temperament.

"Tian Guang, the eldest son of Sikoo Tianheng, was promoted to the outdoor scene at the age of 30 and became a senior doctor..."

Meng Qi quickly recognized the identity of the man, and everything about him flashed through his mind. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
