Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

Li Zhao has been in Shu for so long, except for going to Nanzheng, he spent most of his time in Chengdu and rarely set foot in other places in Shu.

After all, the Zhaowu army occupied Shu for more than half a year. Li Zhao was worried that someone would make trouble, so he didn't dare to leave Chengdu at will.

Now Shu has completely stabilized, since the last military parade. The Shu scholars have realized that for a long time, the Qi State will not be able to recover the Shu land. Since they can't change the status quo, they either choose to lie down, or actively support the newly born Qin State.

Choosing a sunny and good weather, Li Zhao took Chu Ziqing with him, and under the protection of the three thousand Zhaowu troops, he left Chengdu and began to inspect the land of Bashu.

Not long after leaving Chengdu, there were frequent people blocking the road.

Of course, they didn't want to assassinate, but to give advice to Li Zhao so that they could become officials.

Some people suggested that Li Zhao should canonize the princess as soon as possible, and it should not be delayed any longer.

There are also people who figure out Li Zhao's intentions and think that there is no need to be called the king of Qin, and he should be called the emperor directly. Li Zhao was speechless, he had just become the king of Qin for a few days, and his ass was not yet hot, and now he will ascend the throne and become the emperor, is this faster.

........

Along the way, he met all kinds of people, and because there were too many people blocking the road, Li Zhao was no longer as patient as he was at the beginning. At Chu Ziqing's suggestion, all the people who blocked the way were sent to Chengdu. After being assessed by Fan Shuo, Deng Xin and others, if you really have the ability, you can keep it.

When they were about to arrive at Qitong County (Meishan, Sichuan), the team was stopped by the local scholar Wang Benchu.

Just as he was about to send someone to send him to Chengdu, Wang Benchu shouted loudly

: "The king of Qin must not go east, absolutely not!" Li Zhao was stunned, curious in his heart, and asked people to bring him over and asked: "Why can't this king go east?"

Wang Benchu arched his hand and said: "King Qiqi, it's not that it's not impossible, but it's not time." The country of Qi is still strong, the money and grain in the hands of the king, the population of the people, the number of troops, and the number of warships, which point is comparable to the country of Qi. If you rashly go east, once defeated, it will shake the foundation of the king. At that time, even if the land of Shu is barely kept, Hanzhong will inevitably be lost. And the king has only been in Shu for more than half a year, so it is better to first cultivate in Shu and accumulate strength. After two or three years, we will definitely be able to wait for the opportunity. "

What chance?" asked Li Zhaoqiu.

"If the Qi army attacks, the king can use the pass to stop the Qi army. Once it cannot be attacked for a long time, it will definitely retreat. After he relaxed, the king led his troops to the east.

Li Zhao smiled slightly and did not talk to him again. He was given some money and sent to Chengdu.

Chu Ziqing on the side was disdainful in his heart, he was really a corrupt Confucian!

Li Zhao couldn't wait for two or three years at all, and now the Zhaowu army was preparing for war. Qi Jingyun also sent a letter from Hanzhong a few days ago, hoping to participate in the crusade against Qi. If Li Zhao suddenly announced that he would not fight, it would definitely hit the morale of the army. Besides, who knows what the world will become in two or three years. He still understands the truth that changes later.

"I really didn't expect to meet so many people. Chu Ziqing seemed to have no intention.

Li Zhao glanced at him and knew what he wanted to say.

Although the Qin State had a system of imperial examinations, it was not large. Both the participation conditions and the number of people who pass are restricted, which has a lot to do with Li Zhao's heavy martial arts.

Scholars have no way to rise, so they can only take risks blocking the way, hoping to get Li Zhao's favor.

"After you go back, you can discuss with Fan Shuo and the others to revise the imperial examination system. Li Zhao said lightly.

Chu Ziqing's face was overjoyed, and he said, "The king is wise!"

After passing through Qitong, the team continued to move forward. Everywhere he went, he would meet with local officials, powerful or respected people.

In fact, until now, most people in Shu have never seen Li Zhao. Because I am not familiar with it, I am inevitably a little apprehensive in my heart.

The main purpose of Li Zhao's trip is to stabilize the hearts of the people in Shudi. When chatting with everyone, he talks and laughs, and his attitude is amiable. Everyone once suspected that the previous slaughter of Haoqiang had nothing to do with Li Zhao, and it was done by the people below.

In order to better win the hearts of the people, Chu Ziqing proposed to send people to build bridges and roads in the countryside, Li Zhao felt that this was a good thing, and quickly agreed.

......................................................

Ten days later, the group arrived at Nanzhong.

The generals and heroes of the Nanzhong garrison all went out of the city to greet them.

Compared with other cities, Nanzhong Haoqiang is lucky. Only fifty percent of the land and money were handed over, and the Zhaowu army did not massacre in Nanzhong. In Li Zhao's view, Haoqiang also has merit in some aspects, at least Nanzhong Haoqiang and the barbarians have never dealt with each other, and they can be used to suppress the barbarian forces.

Because Gao Xuan and Huo Jian assisted the Zhaowu army in attacking the city, both of them went to Chengdu to watch the ceremony, and their hearts were shocked. After coming back, Gao Xuan gave ninety percent of his land and a lot of money, hoping to find an official position for his son-in-law. Li Zhao saw that his eldest son, Gao Zelun, had a good demeanor and good literary talents, and arranged for him to be the chief secretary in Han'an (Neijiang); Gao Xuan was very excited, and now he is a die-hard supporter of Li Zhao.

In the evening, after participating in the reception banquet, Li Zhao stayed in the Taishou Mansion.

The soldiers came to report, and General Song asked to see him.

"What's the matter?" asked Li Zhao.

Song Jun's face was slightly embarrassed, "King Qiyu, the last general is ashamed, he didn't kill the daughter of the Deng family before."

After the Zhaowu army entered the city, the three generations of the Deng family, including the women of the Deng family who had married, were almost killed, and Deng Yongzhi, who was in Chengdu, was also strangled to death.

Song Jun did not kill Deng Yongqing because of a moment of hesitation. The woman was not sent to Chengdu, but has been detained in Nanzhong Prison.

Li Zhao's face sank, and he said coldly: "Only this once, not for example!" "

Yes, the last general will not be merciful next time." Song Jun lowered his head, cold sweat was already breaking out on his forehead, "Otherwise, the last general will go and kill her now!"

Li Zhao was silent for a moment, "Bring this woman over first."

Song Jun seemed to understand something, "The last general will do it immediately!" In

the Nanzhong Prison, Deng Yongqing has been locked up here since his family was broken and died.

The environment in the prison is extremely harsh, airtight, and does not see the light of day, and is accompanied by cockroaches and rats all day long. There is only one meal a day, and the meals are difficult to swallow.

But she didn't have anything to do, the Deng family was completely finished, she didn't even know how long she could live, and she spent every moment in pain.

When I dream at night, I often dream of my brother Deng Yongqi, riding a horse to take her out of the city. When I woke up from the dream, there were tears in the corners of my eyes.

At this moment, two soldiers opened the cell door and said sharply: "Come out!"

Because of his extremely weak body, Deng Yongqing struggled to get up.

The guards took her outside the prison, and the two maids came forward and smelled the foul smell of her, and the maids covered their noses in disgust, so they took her to bathe first.

After bathing, I changed into a new outfit. Song Jun was about to take her to see Li Zhao, when he suddenly heard something, it turned out to be Deng Yongqing's stomach screaming.

Deng Yongqing said embarrassedly: "Let the general laugh."

Song Jun went directly to the back kitchen and got a roast chicken and asked her to fill her stomach quickly, Deng Yongqing was grateful.

She was indeed so hungry that she took a big bite of it, regardless of her image.
