Chapter 357 357
Qi Xiaobai felt a little sorry for this, Zhou Dan's ability, Qi Xiaobai had heard many ministers talk about it in Qi State, saying that Zhou Dan had a very good ability to govern the country.
Therefore, Qi Xiaobai wanted to recruit Zhou Dan for his own use, but in fact, before recruiting, Qi Xiaobai had absolute confidence to include Zhou Dan in his own banner.
However, what Qi Xiaobai didn't expect was that Zhou Dan would reject him, and Zhou Dan also knew that if he agreed to Qi Xiaobai, his status would definitely not be low in the future.
But he Zhou Dan didn't covet this, otherwise he wouldn't have assisted the royal family for so long, and he would have defected to a certain prince a long time ago.
"Since you've made up your mind, I can't force it!" Qi Xiaobai said with a sigh.
Then Qi Xiaobai entertained Zhou Dan well and let Zhou Dan leave with Shengang.
Wei Dexian said on the side: "If Duke Huan wants Zhou Dan to assist us, the minister has a plan!" ”
Qi Xiaobai looked at Wei Dexian: "Tell me about it!" ”
"We can hijack Zhou Dan's family to threaten him and serve us, if he speaks of righteousness, we will threaten the royal family, I don't think the royal family will offend us for him!" Wei Dexian said beside Qi Xiaobai.
Qi Xiaobai nodded after hearing this: "Your strategy is a good strategy, but if you are not in the Qi country, how can you really serve the Qi country?" If there are a few national policies that mislead the country, wouldn't my Qi country be in danger? ”
After Wei Dexian heard Qi Xiaobai's words, he hurriedly knelt on the ground: "My subordinates are not thoughtful, please don't blame Duke Huan!" ”
"Get up, you've been with me for so long, this is the first time you've given me an idea, this attention doesn't work, but you're also attentive, I won't blame you!" Qi Xiaobai said to Wei Dexian.
"Thank you, Duke Huan!" Wei Dexian hurriedly got up.
"Go, Su Qin bring it in for me!" Qi Xiaobai said to Wei Dexian.
It was already late at night after entertaining Zhou Dan, and Qi Xiaobai should have rested, but Qi Xiaobai wanted to see this enemy who wanted to assassinate him.
Su Qin was brought in, he held his chest up, looked at Qi Xiaobai proudly, and Wei Dexian said sharply: "Kneel!" ”
"I'm not a courtier of the Qi Kingdom, why do I kneel to you?" Su Qin looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
"Do you know what happens to you when you get into my hands? Aren't you going to beg for mercy? Qi Xiaobai looked at Su Qin indifferently and asked.
"Will you let me go if you beg for mercy? I'm afraid you're even happier in your heart! Su Qin looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
Qi Xiaobai nodded: "You're really right!" ”
"Su Qin, I have no grievances with you, and you assassinated me because of Yan Dan!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Su Qin and said.
As for why Su Qin assassinated him, Qi Xiaobai has already investigated it all, this is to help Yan Dan take revenge, and Su Qin followed Yan Dan's side to help Yan Dan restore the country.
Su Qin looked at Qi Xiaobai: "I, Su Qin, have never begged anyone, this time there is something to ask for, and I hope that Gong Huan will be fulfilled!" ”
Qi Xiaobai laughed: "I didn't think about it, you, who are known as national soldiers, will beg me!" ”
"Let Yan Dan go, Yan Dan will never be your enemy, not to mention that Yan Dan has no ability to be your enemy at all, Duke Huan!" Su Qin looked at Qi Xiaobai and pleaded.
This is the last thing he can do for Yan Dan, pray to Qi Xiaobai and let Yan Dan go, as long as Qi Xiaobai is no longer pursuing Yan Dan, Yan Dan should be able to spend his aristocratic life in peace, although it may not be as high-spirited as when Yan Dan was the prince, but this is the best ending!
Qi Xiaobai laughed loudly: "Since I know that you assassinated me for Yan Dan, this time I only want you, not Yan Dan, doesn't this already mean that I let him go?" ”
Yan Dan, Qi Xiaobai didn't pay attention to it at all, just a wandering prince of the dead country, now that Yandi has been completely integrated by Qi Xiaobai, Qi Xiaobai doesn't have to worry about Yan Dan daring to come to Yandi to plan a rebellion.
And without Su Qin's Yan Dan, he has no strength to plan a rebellion at all, after all, planning a rebellion or something requires money.
If no one helps Yan Dan, it is impossible for Yan Dan to get so much money.
"Thank you, Duke Huan!" This time Su Qin knelt down in front of Qi Xiaobai, of course, he knelt down to thank Qi Xiaobai, not to bow down.
"To tell you the truth, Su Qin, you are a great talent, I want to include you in my account!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Su Qin and said.
The corner of Su Qin's mouth smiled: "Duke Huan, even if I really serve you, do you dare to use me?" ”
With a person who assassinated himself, Qi Xiaobai really didn't dare to use it, not to mention that Su Qin's heart was in Yan Dan, not in his Qi Xiaobai.
Qi Xiaobai took a deep breath: "Don't dare to use it!" Qi Xiaobai didn't dare to gamble, he didn't dare to gamble with the hegemony Qi that he had worked so hard to establish.
If Su Qin's talent works for himself, then the plan of unifying the empire and replacing Zhou can be realized faster, but if Su Qin has the idea of harming the Qi country in his heart, it will only take a year for the hegemony of the Qi country to fall.
It is very difficult for hegemony to go up, and it takes the struggle of several generations of monarchs and the assistance of capable ministers to reach hegemony, but it only takes one mistake for hegemony to fall.
Wei's approach to hegemony was also through the hard work of King Wu of Wei and the strong support of Wu Qi, and it moved towards hegemony for a long time, but if it went on, because of Tian Ji's inducement, in a word, the hegemony of Wei disappeared.
Qi Xiaobai didn't dare to bet, he was not in a hurry, now that he had ascended to the hegemony, it was only a matter of time before he replaced Zhou.
If Su Qin was used, Su Qin would have given him a wrong national policy, and his end would not be much better than that of King Wei Hui.
He is working steadily little by little, and with the help of Guan Zhong and a series of generals, it is still feasible to complete the great cause.
And Qi Xiaobai feels young, and Qi Xiaobai is also very good at health.
Qi Xiaobai knew why the average life expectancy of the emperor was so short, he was worried, he worked every day and had no time to rest, so it was so short.
And Qi Xiaobai set up a cabinet system in the court of Qi State, and there was a cabinet to discuss major matters in state affairs.
The people in the cabinet are the team of Qi State, Guan Zhong, Zhang Tianshang, Tian Dan and other capable ministers.
They discussed the reason first, and then reported to Qi Xiaobai, Qi Xiaobai only needed to make a decision and deny it.
This greatly reduced Qi Xiaobai's workload, and the cabinet system also prevented the emergence of ministers.
Because there are three prime ministers in the Qi State, the power is divided into three, and these three people are known as the three elders of the Qi State.
A power is divided into three points, and mutual checks and balances prevent the emergence of a situation of power ministers, of course, this is mainly because Qi Xiaobai gave Guan Zhong too much power in the early days.
Guan Zhong's power has developed too much, and after Wei Dexian told Qi Xiaobai, Qi Xiaobai thought about it carefully, and finally discussed the cabinet system in his heart with Zhang Tianshang.
And Zhang Tianshang was depressed and suppressed by Guan Zhong, and when he heard Qi Xiaobai's system, he immediately accepted it happily.
