During the wedding of Hong Xiaoyu and Yu Feng, Wang Yue and Yu Shiyi also came with their two children.
When Zhou Shengchen saw Wang Yue, he had something to say. He asked Miao Shiyi to go to a gathering with his senior brothers and sisters, leaving Wang Yue to drink with him.
Zhou Shengchen thought about it for a while, and then said with a smile, "When I first met you, I heard you say a shocking sentence, the people will suffer when they rise, and when they die, the people will suffer. In the past, I thought I had already
I did well enough, but after I came to Qi State, I realized how inferior I am compared to you."
Wang Yue looked at Zhou Shengchen, who was a little depressed, and smiled unkindly. He thought to himself, it's time for you to worry about my son and daughter!
Wang Yue took a sip of tea and felt proud for a while, then he said humbly, "Your Majesty, you don't have to be humble. Today, we are originally members of aristocratic families, and we rule the world together with the royal family. I am the only one who has taken a strange path."
Zhou Shengchen nodded and said with a wry smile, "Yes, I am from a royal family. The royal family changes over time, but the aristocratic family always remains. But you are from a common people, so you know better what the people want. Maybe you are right."
Wang Yue saw that something was wrong with Zhou Shengchen. He was praising himself vigorously today, so he asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty, just tell me if you have any questions. You praise me so much, which makes me feel sick in my heart."
Zhou Shengchen looked at Wang Yue and said with a smile, "You said you would take advantage of the aftermath of the war to carry out nationwide reforms. Do you have any plans?"
Wang Yue thought that Zhou Shengchen wanted to hear his opinion, so he thought for a while and then said, "Actually, these are simple. We don't need to implement them nationwide from the beginning. For example, in your Xizhou and Zhongzhou areas that have not been affected by war, they will be implemented first.
Don’t carry out reforms. Let’s carry out reforms in Hebei, Guanlong and other northern areas first. After all, our army is still there, and a number of aristocratic families have been wiped out. No one dares to act rashly.”
Zhou Shengchen nodded, knowing that Wang Yue was right, so he smiled and said, "We can no longer allow the people in the Guanlong area of Hebei Province to move south. If they move further, the fertile land there will be wasted. I don't know if the king is willing."
Will you work with me to carry out reforms across the country?"
Wang Yue glanced at Zhou Shengchen suspiciously, and asked with some confusion, "You can just issue the imperial order for reform. Do you need my cooperation?"
Zhou Shengchen looked at Wang Yue and knew what Wang Yue was worried about, so he said seriously, "I am going to implement reforms in the Guanlong area and the six towns, while Youzhou, Hebei and other places will be left to you, Qi State, to carry out the reforms.
"
Wang Yue did not want to get involved. He waved his hand and said, "If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct. It is better for your majesty to directly order the reform."
Zhou Shengchen said very calmly, "Then I will give you a title. From now on, Youzhou, Hebei and other places will be merged into your Qi Kingdom."
…
Wang Yue thought Zhou Shengchen was joking, so he didn't pay too much attention. The two chatted for a while and then went to attend the wedding.
But what I didn't expect was that after Zhou Shengchen got married to Feng Hongxiaoyu, he hurried back to Zhongzhou with Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan, and soon an imperial edict was distributed to various places.
The content of the imperial edict was to include places such as Youzhou and Bei into the Qi State. As soon as this imperial edict came out, the whole country was in an uproar.
The most intolerable among them is not other people, but the aristocratic families in Youzhou, Hebei. They all know that Qi State has implemented reforms. If they merge into Qi State, will they be reformed differently?
In fact, it was what they thought. After receiving the imperial edict, Wang Yue thought that Zhou Shengchen was taking away Tuan Yuanyuan or giving him comfort, so he happily accepted it.
After Wang Yue acquired Qingzhou, Hebei and other places, he quickly implemented reforms. The local wealthy families, under Wang Yue's military attack, could only obediently cooperate with the reforms.
Time flies by quickly, and Wang Yue moves even faster. With the passage of time, Youzhou, Hebei and other places, like Qingxu and Qingxu, have become paradise in the minds of the people of this era.
Relatively speaking, other places in Beichen were a little different. Although Zhou Shengchen also implemented reforms in the Guanlong Beiliu Town area, the progress was very slow.
The aristocratic families in those places were more or less closely related to the big shots in the court, which made it very difficult to implement Zhou Shengchen's reforms.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Shengchen had already freed up his hands after the war, those aristocratic families might have rebelled just like the people from the original Six Towns and Hebei Guanlong Group.
It's just that although these groups did not rebel, Zhou Shengchen could not measure their land, so Beichen's so-called reform was just a joke.
As the state of Qi changed its appearance day by day, its national strength increased day by day, and the taxation of one year gradually exceeded the taxation of the previous years in Northern Chen, and the people in various places in Northern Chen also yearned more for the life of the common people of Qi State.
Prime Minister Liu, who had originally planned to rush Zhou Shengchen to get married when the emperor returned to Beijing, was so shocked by Zhou Shengchen that he forgot about it.
Several years have passed, and Zhou Shengchen's harem is still empty, and he still has no intention of marrying.
Beichen is also struggling to implement reforms, but the results are really not very good.
On this day, Zhou Shengchen called Tuantuan, who looked like a grown-up due to his years of martial arts practice, to his side and asked with a smile, "Tuan Tuan, do you miss your parents?"
Zhou Shengchen looked at Zhou Shengchen suspiciously. He rolled his eyes, saluted, and said respectfully, "Is it the Grand Master who is asking, or is His Majesty the one asking?"
Zhou Shengchen liked this clever little guy very much, so he smiled and said, "Master Tai is asking."
Tuantuan breathed a sigh of relief and said frankly, "I must have thought about it. When I went back last time, my mother left Yuanyuan behind, but she didn't even leave me behind."
Zhou Shengchen felt a little emotional, and he quickly explained, "Yuanyuan needs to learn some rules. I'm going to get married soon. You follow me and don't have to follow your father?"
Of course, Tuantuan couldn't say that the Grand Master was not as good as his father, so he said with a smile, "I feel that Dad is too relaxed. The Grand Master has only been here for a few years, and his hair has turned a lot whiter."
Zhou Shengchen was a little speechless, but he still understood the implication. When the child told the truth, he was not cute at all. He said helplessly, "Do you want your parents to come to the capital?"
Tuantuan immediately became nervous. He thought Zhou Shengchen had something on his mind, so he smiled and said, "Master, forget it, as long as I respect you."
Zhou Shengchen twitched the corner of his mouth, where did this kid go? Is he that bad?
Feeling that he was being questioned, Zhou Shengchen didn't want to see Xiao Tuantuan anymore, so he waved his hand and let Tuantuan go.
Xiao Tuantuan felt that today's Grand Master was too strange, and he couldn't understand it, so he turned around and left.
After Zhou Shengchen watched the group leave, he hesitated for a while before making a decision.
At court the next day, Zhou Shengchen issued an imperial edict, summoning the King of Qi and his wife to the capital, and that they could bring one hundred thousand soldiers with them. He also asked Prime Minister Liu to arrange a camp for one hundred thousand soldiers outside the capital.
The whole world didn't understand what Zhou Shengchen wanted to do. If he wanted to move King Qi, there was no need to let King Qi bring a hundred thousand troops.
Is it possible that he just wants King Qi to enter the capital with peace of mind? But that’s not the case, or maybe he wants to eat up an army of 100,000 in one go?
People from all over the North, Chen, and South Xiao were paying attention to Zhou Shengchen's follow-up actions, but found that after Zhou Shengchen issued the imperial edict, he took no further action, not even mobilizing troops and horses. This made people even more confused.
When Wang Yue received the imperial edict, he was also confused. He didn't know what Zhou Shengchen was paying attention to.
Mole shook his head. He was very opposed to Wang Yue going there. He said very seriously, "A gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall. The prince is still in Kyoto, so the king cannot go."
However, although Wang Yue didn't know what Zhou Shengchen wanted to do, he felt that there should be no problem. He smiled and said, "With a hundred thousand troops by my side, if the emperor has bad thoughts, I can hold on until you come to rescue him."
Mole thought for a while, and he thought this was a good idea. If anything happened in Zhongzhou, they would have an excuse to kill Beichen.
Thinking of this, Mole Bubu persisted. When Wang Yue's 100,000 troops went to Zhongzhou, he led an army of 400,000 and stood guard at the border of Qi, ready to rescue the king at any time.
Mole's warning was not unnecessary. Not long after Wang Yue entered the capital, Zhou Shengchen announced at the court meeting that he would abdicate the throne to Wang Yue and that he wanted to return to Xizhou.
Zhou Shengchen's move confused Wang Yue and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Wang Yue even thought that this was not Zhou Shengchen's deliberate attempt to test him.
However, when Zhou Shengchen saw that Wang Yue did not accept the order, he didn't care. He put the yellow robe and jade seal on the dragon chair and left easily.
Zhou Shengchen seemed to have just come to life at this moment. He really left, taking some of his followers with him back to Xizhou, leaving Wang Yue and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looking at each other.
Prime Minister Liu had long sensed that Zhou Shengchen was a little impatient, and also knew that Zhou Shengchen had made up his mind. Thinking of the pleasant experience of cooperating with Wang Yue's monarch, he was the first to kneel to the ground and invite Wang Yue to ascend the throne.
The civil and military officials in the court all knelt down when they saw Prime Minister Liu, and thought of Wang Yue's 100,000 troops outside the capital, and knew that the situation was decided, so they all knelt down to allow Wang Yue to ascend the throne.
Wang Yue twitched the corner of his mouth and was a little speechless. He had to give in three times and ask for three invitations. Zhou Shengchen asked him to bring an army of 100,000 to Beijing and immediately gave up the throne. How can the history books write about him?
Isn’t this a scam?
As soon as Wang Yue got angry, he stopped working. He ignored the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and returned directly to Prince Qi's Mansion in the capital.
All civil and military officials in the court were speechless when they saw Wang Yue walking away gracefully, and they all looked at Prime Minister Liu.
Prime Minister Liu rolled his eyes. He didn't know. However, he couldn't be confused at this time, so he could only say, "It's a big deal to abdicate. It should have been three concessions and three invitations. The late emperor thought it was troublesome and left. We, the
Please work hard for me as a servant."
After hearing what Prime Minister Liu said, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty felt that it was right. Soon they went to Prince Qi's Mansion with Prime Minister Liu to invite Wang Yue to the throne again.
There was no surprise this time, and he was still rejected. However, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had already been mentally prepared. They were waiting to find an auspicious day to invite Wang Yue again.
Li Qilang knew Wang Yue's character. He knew that Wang Yue said he refused, but he really didn't want to do it. He came to Prince Qi's Mansion after Man Chao Wen and Wu left.
After meeting Wang Yue, Li Qilang said to Wang Yue, "If you feel tired, just work for two years and wait until the head of the regiment sees it and give it up."
After Wang Yue heard this, he looked at the innocent-looking little Tuantuan and understood what the child was thinking. Xiao Tuantuan's heart was moved. He patted Xiao Tuantuan's forehead and said helplessly, "I really owe you!"
Li Qilang saw that Wang Yue was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief, so he smiled and said, "You have governed Qi so well, and you will definitely be a good emperor in the future. The people of Chen are now chanting Yao, Shun, and Yu, and are looking forward to it."
You have ascended the throne."
Wang Yue listened to Li Qilang's words and was about to say something when he heard a "di" sound.
"Hey, the host has learned the skills to be a good emperor, and has been recognized by the protagonist!"
"Hey, the host has met the return conditions of the Xianyu Film and Television System!"
"Hey, the time travel system is starting!"
"Hey, the startup is successful, ready to return to the original world!"
