Chapter 333: Controlling the Jianghu People



This decision was not easy to achieve, but Zhao Ji had firm determination and wise strategies. He first started by improving the lives of Jianghu people, guiding them to engage in legitimate occupations and reducing their conflicts with the court. At the same time, he also established a series of rules and systems to ensure that Jianghu people lived under the norms of the court.

At first, the people in the underworld were very resistant, but slowly they began to adapt. They even began to look forward to it!

As time went by, Zhao Ji's efforts gradually paid off, and the lives of the people in Jianghu were significantly improved, and their days became full of hope and joy.

Zhao Ji was not satisfied with this, as he understood that this was only the first step towards a harmonious society. He began to pay more attention to the spiritual world of the people in the society, hoping that they would not only benefit from material wealth, but also be spiritually wealthy.

Therefore, Zhao Ji began to invite people from the martial arts world to participate in cultural construction. He encouraged them to carry forward the martial virtues, inherit the excellent martial arts culture, and make the martial arts spirit a part of the national culture.

"This is the champion of this martial arts competition..."

Following Zhao Ji's final cheer, a tall and sturdy man came out. After this man came out, Zhao Ji announced on the spot: "I declare that this swordsman is awarded the seventh-rank sword-bearing guard for his outstanding martial arts! Of course, you can choose to refuse! It's all right. The reason why the court holds this kind of conference is just to select talents, and it is not forced!"

The swordsman never thought that he could become an official, and he was so excited!

He immediately said: "I will do my best for you, sir, and contribute to the court!"

Another Jianghu person also knelt down and said, "Sir, I also want to serve the court!"

Zhao Ji smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, you guys go report to Lord Zuo now! Do your best for the court!"

After hearing the news, the whole martial arts world was in an uproar! Everyone expressed their desire to go to the martial arts competition and shine for the court.

Zhao Ji's strategy was successful! By encouraging people from all walks of life to participate in the construction of the court, he not only helped them change their lives, but also helped them find their own value.

Zhao Ji appointed several official positions on the spot, giving those people in the martial arts world who had gained a place a new identity and platform.

After all this was over, Zhao Ji began to plan the future situation in the martial arts world with Li Ling.

They first started by improving the competition rules and judging mechanism to make the competition more fair and just. At the same time, they also decided to add more entertainment items and reward mechanisms during the competition to attract more people to participate.

"Ling'er, do you think this can change the situation in the martial arts world?" Zhao Ji asked uncertainly.

Li Ling looked at him firmly, "As long as you work hard, it will be possible! Jianghu people are not evil, they also have their own pursuits and ideals. As long as we give them fair opportunities, they will feel the court's care and respect for the court more."

Zhao Ji nodded, he understood this truth.

So they started to reform. After a period of hard work, the rules of the martial arts competition were improved and the judging mechanism became more fair.

In this process, Zhao Ji and Li Ling constantly communicated with the people in the arena and listened to their voices. They gradually discovered that as long as they were given fair opportunities and platforms, they would feel the care of the court and respect the court more.

As time went by, Zhao Ji and Li Ling's efforts gradually paid off. The competition became more fair and just, attracting more people from the martial arts world to participate. They began to feel the court's love and respect for the court more.

Zhao Ji watched the intense game on the field and felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

"This is the result we want," Zhao Ji said to Li Ling. "We will use fair opportunities and platforms to make people in Jianghu feel the court's care and love, and respect the court more."

Li Ling also smiled and nodded, "Yes, this is the result of our hard work."

Zhao Ji and the others were happy. After all, this martial arts competition directly attracted a lot of talented people from all walks of life and strengthened the palace guard team!

However, the prime minister, who had originally wanted to unite these idle people to rebel, was completely dumbfounded.

The people in the martial arts world all have formal staff in the imperial palace, so who would join you in rebelling?

The current situation is that not only will they not rebel, but they will also help Zhao Ji and others to maintain the court. They may even report the prime minister and directly expose some of his plans!

The prime minister had no choice but to avoid the attack and go into the dark.

However, the prime minister secretly hid in a town. During this period of time, he kept recruiting soldiers. After this period of time, he actually already had an army of 80,000 in private.

To be honest, it costs too much to maintain an army, so the Prime Minister now wants to go to war. Fight with the emperor in the palace who is seriously injured and in a coma!

Starting the attack from the border town, the prime minister led his 80,000 troops and marched towards the palace with great momentum. His troops were well-organized and in high spirits, and it was obvious that a fierce battle was inevitable.

However, Zhao Ji and Li Ling were not intimidated by his momentum. They had already set up a defense line around the palace and prepared a strategy for coordination.

At the moment the battle started, Li Ling led an elite guard to block the Prime Minister's attack. Their tactics were clear and they cooperated well, preventing the Prime Minister's army from advancing.

At the same time, Zhao Ji was commanding the guards inside the palace. Their strategy was to hold their ground and wait for the prime minister's army to tire.

After several fierce battles, the prime minister's army began to show signs of fatigue. At this time, Zhao Ji suddenly launched a counterattack and led the guards to launch a full-scale charge on the prime minister's army.

The battle entered a white-hot stage. Both sides were fighting with all their might. The sound of the battle shook the entire border town.

However, despite the large numbers of the prime minister's troops, they gradually lost their advantage under the clever countermeasures of Zhao Ji and Li Ling.

However, the prime minister was a cunning old fox after all. He quickly simplified the 80,000 soldiers and began to attack Zhao Ji's army in small groups!

Seeing this, Zhao Ji and Li Ling immediately adjusted their tactics to deal with the prime minister's attack. They divided the guards into several small teams and adopted guerrilla tactics to constantly harass the prime minister's army, making it impossible for them to concentrate on the attack.

The prime minister was secretly worried when he saw this. He knew that if the battle could not be resolved quickly, his army would probably be gradually consumed by Zhao Ji and Li Ling.

Therefore, he decided to change his tactics and began to send messengers to summon surrounding enemy forces for support. Although this would take some time and energy, it was the only thing he could do.

Zhao Ji and Li Ling were of course aware of this, and they had to delay the prime minister's call for troops. So they began to send out multiple fake messengers to deliberately mislead the prime minister, making it impossible for him to accurately determine where the real support troops came from.
