I’m The King Chapter 1061: :East and West (54)

There were bursts of laughter in the political affairs hall, and several bigwigs in the political affairs hall who cared about Jiang Jiaquan laughed happily while listening to Cao Tianci's report.

"This time Wu Qi can be said to have lost his wife and lost his army. As soon as I interviewed the councilors who accepted his bribes, they were all persuaded. The gold and silver treasures that Wu Qi gave were not missing a single penny. I just spit it out, and I gave a little hint, and they immediately expressed their full support for the special tax collection plan of the Zhengshitang for this war." Cao Tianci said proudly.

"In this way, Langya, Hejian, Tianhe, Kunzhou, Cangzhou, Fenzhou and other places will support this special war tax bill. In this way, there will be no problem in passing it by the Great Council. "Jiang Jiaquan said again and again, "In this way, not only the pension and resettlement expenses of Jishi County will be settled, but the restoration and reconstruction of Yuyang will also start immediately."

"Dealing with politics, King Wei's net worth is really rich. This time, the things that those guys who took bribes spit out are still on display in my Overwatch Council! Where did you send the things to me, these things can more or less subsidize your needs!" Cao Tianci said with a smile.

"No, send someone to send these things back to the King of Wei!" Jiang Jiaquan laughed, "The treasury of the Wei State is now in our warehouse. It was because the relationship was not straightened out before, so it's not good. use it, but then I think we can justifiably use this part of the property. Therefore, we should return the property of King Wei to him. After all, his big family will have more days to spend money in the future, so we Don't let him say that our King of Han is harsh."

There was another burst of laughter in the political affairs hall. "Wei Wang must be terrified. He is fine, that Wu Qi danced so happily during this time, why don't you give him a little punishment?" Cao Tianci was a little indignant, "How many things has this old boy found for me during this time?"

"No, no, no!" Jiang Jiaquan shook his head again and again, "Everyone is independent, this person's ability is still commendable, besides, the king also admires this person very much, besides, his son Wu Yong is now He is the commander of Weidi's new army, so let's give him some face."

"Your Majesty still wants to use this person again?" Cao Tianci asked in surprise.

Several deliberators looked at each other and smiled: "That's right, if Wu Qi is willing, he can also have a place in the political affairs hall. The land of Wei belongs to the Han, and there is still a lot of work to be done to appease. After all, apart from the concession areas that have already started work, Other territories of the Wei State do not understand the policies of our Han State, fear and even a certain degree of resentment, and riots will exist. With Wu Qi present, it is much easier to solve these problems. Besides, this The ability of Prime Minister Wu is quite good." Jiang Jiaquan said.

"Jiang Yizheng is right, at least in front of this person, I am willing to bow down!" Li Cang said with a smile.

"Li Yizheng is too modest. By the way, Li Yizheng, the fleet departing from Cangzhou has been going for more than half a year now, but there is still no reply. There is no news about this, which is really worrying! "Jiang Jiaquan looked at Li Cang and said.

"You don't have to worry too much about politics. It used to be like this. Taking the sea route was already extremely risky. In the past, I was a member of the Li family. Not only did I have to contend with God, but I also had to deal with pirates that appeared along the way, but now But it's different. The fully armed army and dozens of large ships are destructive to any force on this sea route. No pirates will be so inconspicuous. Before leaving Before, the king even hoped that they would suppress more pirates along the way, so that this sea route can be completely opened up, and more ships from the people can sail freely in the future! As long as God does not make mistakes, there should be no problem, or we When we are talking about them now, they are already on their way back!" Li Cang said relaxedly, compared with Jiang Jiaquan, his knowledge of the sea is much stronger.

"I don't really care about civil aviation. What I care about most is the place called Fusang that the king said. I heard that there are many gold mines, silver mines and copper mines. If we can win it, it will help us. It is urgent!" Jiang Jiaquan said: "I hope they will come back soon and bring good news."

"Don't worry about discussing politics!" Li Can said.

In the apartment where King Wei lived temporarily, he saw more than a dozen boxes that had just been brought back by the supervisory guards of the Overwatch Council in black. Wu Qi was dumbfounded, while King Wei was trembling uncontrollably.

Just this morning, the once-a-month representative meeting of the Grand Council had already been held. The bill that Wu Qi was looking forward to was never brought up at all. The whole meeting discussed one topic, especially the war tax. The Great Council of the city was surprisingly calm this time, and passed the special war tax bill without any disturbances. The Han Kingdom will impose a one-time special war tax on the states and counties that have not experienced the war this time, which will be used for compensation and reconstruction. .

The rare harmony and happiness of the Great Council.

As for King Wei and Wu Qiqi, this is like mourning and examining concubines.

"Well, what can we do?" King Wei looked at Wu Qi, his teeth chattering. The words of King Jiang Zhe of Qi and Prince Tian Yuanyuan still lingered in his ears that day. Now that his soul has returned to the underworld, is Gao Yuan really a saint? Seeing these things sent back by the Overwatch Council itself means that their actions have touched the backs of Han.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm in charge of this matter, so I'll go and make it clear to Jiang Jiaquan, if they want to punish them, then come at me, and it will never harm your Majesty!" Wu Qi sighed , Said. "If you want to kill or cut, let them do!"

"You must not go!" King Wei became sober for a rare moment, "They are drunkards who don't want to drink, and the target is not you, but me! Wu Xiang, they sent these back quietly. Things, but you went to Jiang to discuss politics with great fanfare. Doesn’t this show that we bribed the big councilors? When that time comes, they will have to deal with those big councilors. Then our feud will end, or it will not end well. "

Wu Qi was stunned for a moment, and finally came to his senses, feeling ashamed in his heart, if not for Wei Wang's reminder, he would have made another big mistake.

"Han Kingdom, this is going to annex our Great Wei, and we deliberately don't let you come back, Your Majesty!" Let's pretend to be deaf and dumb, so we can rely on it here. But let's see how they deal with us."

The king of Wei looked at Wu Qi pitifully: "Wu Xiang, although what you said is a solution, if you really annoy the other party, I'm afraid I will die badly, not only me, but my descendants, Not one can escape the evil hands. For them, this is too simple, a plague, a sudden disease, is enough to solve the problem."

Wu Qi fell down on the chair with a bang, "Your Majesty, you, you..."

"Over the years, first was the State of Zhao, and then the State of Han. I, the king, have always acted tremblingly, like walking on thin ice. In fact, our Great Wei has long existed in name only. First, it was controlled by the State of Zhao, and then the State of Han came again. In the end, the Qin State simply laid down the beam with open fire, and since it is already like this, let me follow the example of King Qi, go to the throne honestly, and go to be with him on the bank of Dayan Lake, and be a free and unrestrained commoner!" King Wei stared blankly at the roof, and murmured in a low voice.

"Your Majesty!" Wu Qi cried out in grief, "It is because of the incompetence of the ministers that the King is humiliated like this."

"It's none of your business!" Wei Wang waved his hand, "The general situation of the world is like this, even if the gods descend to the earth, they will be powerless to return to heaven. Now that I think about it, Jiang Zhe and Tian's long-distance visit is a point pointed out by Han Guo The way to survive. Sending these things back today is a warning to us."

Standing into the house, after a while, the King of Wei took out a small box, opened it, took out the map of the whole territory of Wei State, the talisman and other things that represent royal power, and put them on the table one by one Going up, staring at these things, Wei Wang burst into tears, but in the end he stood up with a ruthless heart.

"Give these things to Jiang Jiaquan, and tell him that Wei Si, the state of Wei, begged for a manor to provide for the elderly by the Dayan Lake, and begged the King of Han to fulfill his wish." The sobbing King Wei staggered into the room, leaving Wu Qi alone. Amoy crying in the same place.

The next day, with red and swollen eyes, Wu Qi, dressed in white and tied with a hemp rope around his waist, appeared in the political affairs hall holding a box containing the atlas of talisman festivals. He knelt in the center of the hall, raised his hands high above his head, and These things representing the ruling power of Wei State were presented to Jiang Jiaquan.

Although he successfully obtained what he had always wanted, Jiang Jiaquan also felt a rare sympathy in his heart when he saw Wu Qi's look of mourning. Whether it’s good or not, the king of Wei, their fate is still good, at least they can save their lives, and they can enjoy their old age in peace with their descendants. The Han Kingdom will not kill them all. Family and life, future generations and grandchildren all take it in.

"President Wu please hurry up, King Wei's request, I am here to agree on behalf of the king of our Han Kingdom, please rest assured, since King Wei is willing to merge Wei into our Han Kingdom, then I, a big man, will guarantee the safety of King Wei, and will never cross the river and tear down the bridge." Jiang Jiaquan comforted.

"Thank you Jiang for discussing the government, please also discuss the government, and prepare a thatched hut and a piece of land for Wu by the Dayan Lake, so that Wu can farm there for a living!" Wu Qi was supported by Jiang Jiaquan, but he still had both hands Hold your fists together and drop to the ground.

"Wu Xiang said seriously, Wei Wang is willing to go to Dayan Lake to settle down, of course there is no problem, but Wu Xiang, you can't just leave with a pile of picks, Wei Di is a newcomer to my big man, I am afraid of the subsequent things There are so many things going on, how can we get rid of such a capable minister as you, Prime Minister Wu? So I have to invite Prime Minister Wu to work so hard!" Jiang Jiaquan said with a smile: "If Prime Minister Wu doesn't dislike it, I wonder if you would like to join my Dahan Political Affairs Hall, Do you want to do more for the great Han, and also for the people of Wei who are new to the Great Han?"

Listening to Jiang Jiaquan's words, Wu Qi was stunned for a moment. The Zhengshitang is the highest administrative organ of the Great Han Wang Gao except Han Wang Gaoyuan. They actually want to enter this Zhengshitang? (To be continued)
