Plane of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 146 The Emperor Is the Real Thigh

On the way to the Royal Garden, Qin Guan took the initiative to show his favor and asked Li Chaoen: "Eunuch Li, this is the first time I see Your Majesty alone, I don't know what to pay attention to."

Li Chaoen looked at Qin Guan who was sincerely asking for advice, and admired his attitude very much, unlike some literati who were proud and always spoke with disdain when talking to eunuchs.Li Chaoen explained to Qin Guan some of the taboos of seeing the emperor, and even revealed some of the emperor's likes and dislikes, so as to prevent Qin Guan from offending the emperor.

Qin Guan took the opportunity to ask again: "I don't know what your Majesty called me for."

Li Chaoen is an old man who has spent half his life fighting in the palace, and now he can become the emperor's most trusted supervisor. He doesn't know that Qin Guan is trying to trick him, but Li Chaoen also has a good impression of this polite and talented Qin Guan. He said with a smile: "The official read your test paper and liked your poem very much, and that poem also won the official's heart. The official ordered you to go there after seeing your policy theory. You should have a calculation in your mind."

Qin Guan now understands.

Quickly thanked: "Thank you, Eunuch Li, Qin Guan will never forget this kindness."

Li Chaoen smiled, "There is no kindness in one sentence. The miscellaneous family is not clear about the affairs in the court, but the miscellaneous family should remember one sentence. Regardless of Zhang Wang Li Zhao, the world is controlled by the officials."

This sentence made Qin Guan enlightened.

What about Zeng Yu and Shen Zheng, this world belongs to the emperor, and it is more direct to depend on anyone than to depend on the emperor.

If you want to hug your thighs, the emperor is the thickest thigh in the world.

Qin Guan cupped his fists and respectfully saluted Li Chaoen.Great Zhao Kingdom rarely kneels down, except between masters and servants, even if the ministers see the emperor, they just bow down and salute, which is already a great gift.

Qin Guan's bowing and bowing was sincere. He didn't have any ill feeling towards eunuchs. In modern society, there are more weird people than eunuchs, and the society accepts them, so eunuchs are nothing.

If it is said that they are evil courts, hehe, if it is not the emperor's order, what is a group of powerless eunuchs? He will be slaughtered by the neck, and he doesn't even have the ability to resist.

Coming to the Imperial Garden, Qin Guan saw the emperor for the second time.

"Chen Qin Guan, I have met Your Majesty." Qin Guan saluted respectfully.

The emperor looked at Qin Guan up and down. Qin Guan was good-looking, but he was talented at a young age. The emperor himself liked calligraphy and painting, and he liked poetry very much. The emperor had also heard Qin Guan's poems and admired them very much. The heart can not help but give birth to the heart of love.

"I just wrote a picture, let's see how it goes." The emperor said suddenly.

Qin Guan was very surprised. He felt that the emperor should ask himself about Celun, but asked him to read calligraphy.

But the emperor is the biggest, Qin Guan came to the book case, and there was a pair of words pressed on it with a paperweight. Qin was slightly surprised after watching it, it turned out to be his own Lin Jiangxian.

After reading it, Qin Guan organized his words in his mind and said: "Your Majesty's calligraphy is erratic and quick, and the handwriting is thin and strong, so thin without losing its flesh. The Tibetan front can be clearly seen at the turning point, and the Lu Feng and others are moving rapidly. The traces have the exquisite calligraphy of Huang Tingjian, Chu Suiliang and Xue Ji, and also have a unique style of their own, it is really the most beautiful calligraphy I have ever seen."

The emperor laughed, "You little guy, you look honest, but your mouth is very slippery."

Qin Guan replied with a smile: "This minister is completely from the bottom of my heart."

The emperor said: "I like your poem very much, but you are so young, how could you have such desolate, tragic, peaceful and indifferent thoughts."

Qin Guandao: "I have read the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, and I was once very excited by the magnificence of the Three Kingdoms, but hundreds of years have passed, and now I think about it, all that has disappeared, and I can't help feeling a little more sighing in my heart."

The emperor nodded. He was also reading the history of the Three Kingdoms recently, and had such an idea in his heart, but he couldn't write a poem as appropriate as Qin Guan, so he especially liked Qin Guan's Linjiang Immortal.

Simply put, it hit the emperor's G-spot.

That's why he appreciates it so much.

The emperor said to Li Chaoen, "Give me a seat."

Li Chaoen ordered the little eunuch to move a low stool, and Qin Guan sat under the emperor's head. Li Chaoen also kept observing Qin Guan, and found that although the young man was very respectful when he saw the emperor, no one else saw the emperor. The kind of sincerity and trepidation, even inappropriate behavior, on the contrary, he responded calmly, respectfully but not flatteringly, but there was a feeling of spring breeze, which made Li Chaoen feel that several prime ministers were meeting the emperor.

At this moment, Li Chaoen paid more attention to Qin Guan. Perhaps this young man might really stand at the pinnacle of the imperial court in the future.

As soon as Qin Guan sat down, the emperor asked, "I wrote the policy topic myself, but you only wrote eight words 'cultural strategy, economic war'. What's the reason?"

Qin Guan bowed and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I think these eight words are enough to summarize my philosophy."

"As for Weichen not writing it out in detail, it is because Weichen has a worry, that is, I am afraid that after I write this policy theory, it will spread. Nothing works anymore."

Hearing what Qin Guan said, the emperor aroused his interest, "Oh, it seems that you are very confident in your countermeasures, and even thought of the issue of leakage and implementation, so let's talk about it in detail."

Qin Guan knew that this was the emperor's examination of himself, and now is the real imperial examination. Qin Guan sorted out his thoughts and said: "As your Majesty said in the topic of policy discussion, my great Zhao is now surrounded by enemy countries, and in terms of military strength It’s a little bit worse, and border invasions happen occasionally.”

"Our country puts a lot of power into the army. Every year, the imperial court has to spend [-]% of the tax burden to support the army, which makes the country's finances overwhelmed."

"In Weichen's view, under the current circumstances, it is unrealistic to talk about increasing investment in armaments."

The emperor raised his eyes and looked at Qin Guan. He did not expect that such a young man did not stir up emotions like other young officials to encourage a strong army. Instead, he could see that the court was overwhelmed. It seemed that Qin Guan was not as young as he appeared on the surface. Thinking is very mature.

Qin Guan continued: "And the current situation is that our country has also signed an agreement with Liao, Xixia, and Turpan to prevent mutual aggression. Although they have not done well, there have been no major incidents for more than ten years. A large-scale war is a good thing for the Great Zhao Kingdom, and it can make the country stable and the people live in peace."

"So we can't increase the number of troops arbitrarily. This will cause tension in neighboring countries and may cause even greater friction."

"Under the current environment, what is the method to weaken the enemy's strength without being noticed by the enemy country? Weichen thinks it is these eight words "cultural strategy, economic war"".
