The next moment, Zhao Jin burst out laughing, "Hahahaha!"
"What General Qi said is true."
The starry eyes swept away the original confusion and gloom, and became surprisingly bright, "It was only I who thought wrong."
With that said, Zhao Jin raised his wine bowl and toasted Qi Jiahan with a bowl of wine.
The two of them drained the clear wine in their bowls in one gulp.
Zhao Xingzhi breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject: "Aristocratic families, they should not be able to make waves this time."
"Did they just give up?" Qi Jiahan frowned and asked in confusion: "This imperial examination reform has reduced their quota to almost nothing."
"With one Yao family, they will give up and agree?"
Zhao Jin smiled slightly, "They had to agree."
"Because they are not sure whether the Yao family will be the last, and no one wants to be the second 'chicken' to be killed."
"That's right." Zhao Xingzhi laughed and said, "In this case, they cannot form an alliance. Your Highness is determined to carry out scientific research."
"Besides, now that the Yao family is gone, there are many families trying to grab this piece of fat."
After all, the Yao family is a first-class family. Even if it is at the bottom, the resources at its disposal cannot be underestimated.
The first-rate aristocratic families are busy carving up the vacancies left by the Yao family, the second-rate aristocratic families are eager to take the place of the Yao family, and the third-rate and fourth-rate aristocratic families below want to drink the broth.
"Now, they have no intention and no confidence that they can fight against His Highness."
Zhao Jin nodded and agreed with Zhao Xingzhi's words, "Although the number of places has been reduced, when it comes to outstanding scholars, there are still more aristocratic families."
"In a short period of time, the number of children from poor families will increase, but the big families still have the upper hand."
"As for the long time..."
Zhao Jin smiled without warmth, "Who can say for sure what will happen next?"
Qi Jiahan's scalp went numb after hearing this, he put down the wine bowl, raised his hand and waved, "Sure enough, I am still more suitable for the battlefield."
"Now it seems that scientific examination reform is imperative."
Zhao Jin snorted and laughed, "Let them wait for two days and then mention this matter in the court meeting, it will be almost settled."
"Fourth brother."
Zhao Jin looked at Zhao Xingzhi, blinked, and curled up the corners of his mouth.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Xingzhi's heart tightened.
"The reform of the imperial examination is very important. When the time comes, you may need your help."
Zhao Xingzhi: "..."
"Hahahaha!" Qi Jiahan raised his hand and patted Zhao Xingzhi on the shoulder.
Zhao Xingzhi and Qi Yunche had known each other since they were young, and they often came to Qi's house. They had always regarded Qi Jiahan as an elder, so occasionally Qi Jiahan would pat Zhao Xingzhi on the shoulder and ask about daily life matters as if he cared about his juniors.
"If the scientific examination reform is successful, it will not only harm the aristocratic families, but the Zhao country will also become truly active."
Zhao Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "What General Qi said is even true."
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Jin changed his voice and said, "In addition to the reform of the imperial examination, there is another major event."
"Establish the Long Kingdom?" Qi Jiahan blurted out.
"Exactly." Zhao Jin nodded slightly, "Calculating the time, Chen Xiao should be almost at the border of Lilong State. By then, if necessary, General Qi may have to go."
"No problem." Qi Jiahan responded, patting his chest.
Zhao Xingzhi rubbed the wine bowl and tapped his fingertips, "But without General Qi in Bianzhou, will there be someone..."
After all, Zhao Jin was a prince who came out of nowhere, let alone became a prince all of a sudden and is still supervising the country.
Even if many princes did not dare to make small moves, it did not mean that they were willing to do so and watched Zhao Jin take that position step by step.
In the past, Qi Jiahan was in Bianzhou and had a good relationship with Zhao Jin, so he was clearly on Zhao Jin's side.
Qi Jiahan has a lot of troops, and Zhao Jin has such a trump card. Anyone who wants to do anything must weigh it carefully.
However, Qi Jiahan left Bianzhou and his father's situation was not good. There was no guarantee that someone would not be greedy for profit and do something irrational.
"rest assured."
Zhao Jin didn't seem worried at all, "There are imperial guards and forbidden troops stationed in Bianzhou."
"Hua Wenyan is okay, but the commander of the Royal Forest Army..."
Qi Jiahan took over what Zhao Xingzhi said, "The commander of the Royal Forest Army is related by blood to Mrs. Ning."
The expressions of Zhao Jin and Zhao Xingzhi changed together.
"General Qi, what do you mean by this?" Zhao Jin looked unclear and his voice was low.
"The fourth prince seems to know." Qi Jiahan did not answer Zhao Jin, but raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Xingzhi.
Zhao Xingzhi was a little confused and anxious, "I, this king, am not General Qi, do you know what you are talking about?"
He knew Zhao Jin's life experience, but what was the blood relationship between the leader of the Royal Forest Army and Mrs. Ning?
"General Qi." Zhao Jin called lightly.
Qi Jiahan said with a sullen smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, the general has already been suspicious. After all, the royal bloodline has not been confused. Your Highness is not much different from the other princes now."
"Everyone is qualified to sit in this position." Qi Jiahan said slowly and authentically.
There was faint sweat on Zhao Xingzhi's forehead.
The originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Zhao Jin let go of the wine bowl and stared at Qi Jiahan with starry eyes, "General Qi thinks so, it is naturally the best."
"This is the best choice." Qi Jiahan snorted without any hesitation, "Besides, the unscrupulous son of the last general has already made the choice for the last general."
Qi Yunche, who had already returned to Yunzhou County, sneezed, "Sneeze!"
Everyone in the lobby looked at Qi Yunche.
Everyone was discussing important matters, and all the laughing officials from Yunzhou County gathered here. Qi Yunche's sneezing was undoubtedly very eye-catching.
Qi Yunche lowered his head slightly, waved his hands and rubbed his nose.
"What's the matter? Did you catch a cold yesterday because you were greedy for cold weather?" Wei Liang looked around and asked in a warm voice.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Qi Yunche whispered, "I guess I don't know who is talking about me."
This episode was quickly revealed by everyone, and the discussion continued with the previous content.
…
When Zhao Xingzhi left the East Palace, his expression was still slightly dazed, "I really didn't expect that His Highness has such a relationship with..."
With his last act of reason, Zhao Xingzhi swallowed the words "Yu Linjun" back in his stomach.
"In fact, there are not many people who know about this matter."
"Older people all know this."
Qi Jiahan had discovered clues from the Yu Linjun's attitude earlier, and he was the one who knew everything relatively early.
"It's been too long ago." Zhao Xingzhi sighed: "Even if I know about this matter, I probably won't be able to remember it after such a long time."
Qi Jiahan chuckled, "It doesn't matter if you think about it or not."
"That's right."
"I don't know what's going on with Chen Xiao now."
Qi Jiahan glanced at Zhao Xingzhi and said, "I heard that the relationship between His Highness and Chen Xiao is average."
