Mi Xingli smiled and shook her head: "Actually, I felt the same way at first, but when you left the palace just now, did you see that the plaque of Earl Liwo's mansion had been removed?"
“It seems so!”
Xiang Ding's expression suddenly became serious. Earl Li Wo was a close minister of the previous King Li, so the Earl's Mansion could be built next to the royal palace.
When Lord Liwo died, he left no descendants, but the Earl's Palace has remained empty. As for the reason... there is currently no meritorious official who is worthy of such a good palace.
But now…
Xiang Ding was a little surprised: "Could it be prepared for Ying Wuji?"
Mi Xingli did not comment: "Now in Li State, the only merit that can be worthy of this mansion is the reform. But the reform has just begun, and it is far from being a merit. I really can't think of what the King of Li would give this mansion away in the name of, except for the Prince Consort's Mansion!"
Xiang Ding's eyes widened: "You mean to say that Ying Wuji was the one who proposed the reform?"
Mi Xingli shook her head slightly: "I'm not sure, but the way King Li takes care of him is definitely not the attitude he uses to treat a hostage for the marriage alliance. This Ying Wuji may be more interesting than we thought."
Xiang Ding curled his lips: "It was really him who proposed it. I was wondering if the conditions offered by Prince Li were so outrageous. A thousand official positions is not just to get the royal family to pull him off the throne? This little son-in-law, who hasn't even married yet, is already thinking about harming his father-in-law. He's really a talent!"
Mi Xingli: "..."
Although but.
On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong with this sentence.
Because she couldn't figure out where King Li would get these thousand official positions.
…
"One thousand official positions?"
"Da Li Academy?"
Wei Huan was lying on a recliner, but he sat up immediately after hearing the news.
This grand gathering of hundreds of schools of thought was nominally just an academic exchange without any political purpose, so except for the king of the host country, no officials would show up, naturally including the heads of the Wei and Han families.
At first he was worried that Zhao Ji would take advantage of this banquet to do something detrimental to Wei and Han.
But now…
Could it be that this old guy has damaged his brain from seclusion?
Dali Academy?
Do you really regard Jiangcheng as the new holy land of the Hundred Schools?
Wei Huan really didn't expect the Dali Academy to happen, because the Dali Academy was a completely thankless job.
If Zhao Ji wanted to build the Jixia Academy of the early years, it would be almost impossible for the royal family to pay for it, because the talents trained there would still be scattered everywhere.
If you want to build the current Jixia Academy, then the students of the Hundred Schools of Thought will not come here at all. They are just like a piece of shit in Jixia. How are you better than Jixia? Why should we come here to serve you like dogs?
But he never expected that Zhao Ji actually claimed to give out a thousand official positions.
Where did you get it?
Could it be that he wants to take it from the Wei and Han families?
Or does your thousand official positions include the night watchmen?
As long as Zhao Ji did not want Li State to fall into civil strife immediately, he could only take the official position from the royal family. However, if he took it from the royal family, the royal family would definitely riot.
No matter how high Ren Zhaoji's prestige is, it is impossible for him to come up with so much. Five hundred is already the limit, and that's even after taking into account the leftovers.
The royal family didn't want to take the money in the first place.
As a result, I can't even get a penny out.
You’re still building the Dali Academy, but you’ve got trouble even building a toilet.
Wei Meng couldn't help but ask, "Dad! Do you want me to contact Pingling Jun and the Han family?"
"Contact them for what?"
Wei Huan couldn't stop smiling: "It's enough for one person to laugh secretly. If three families gather together, they can't laugh too loudly. Go contact those small families and let them be mentally prepared. Don't let them not know who to ask for help when Zhao Ji's knife is on their necks!"
"yes!"
Wei Meng nodded. He also felt that this was a little strange.
If Zhao Ji wanted to get an official position, he certainly wouldn't dare to attack Wei and Han, so he could only target those small families. However, these small families were originally trying to survive in the cracks, and this would completely push them towards Wei and Han.
The Wei family is worried that the current situation is too stable and they can't find an excuse to annex small families. Doesn't this give them an opportunity?
He thought for a while and asked again: "Dad! Do you need to restrain the people of our Wei land? If Zhao land wants to reform, it will definitely find a way to attract refugees..."
“No need!”
Wei Huan frowned slightly and shook his head: "Now the Wei people are forcing iron weapons and suppressing private land. Those unruly people are already overwhelmed. If they are restrained again, they will be forced to move towards Zhao. I want to see if Zhao has so much wasteland for them to open up."
"Dad, you're right!"
Wei Meng laughed loudly, patted his chest, and left quickly.
After Wei Meng left, Wei Huan lay back in his chair.
His face, which was originally a little sad, was now filled with smiles, and he even began to hum a tune.
If my guess is correct, that old guy Han Zhe should be the same as me.
But Pingling Jun...
He might be happy, but he must be full of jealousy. Zhao Ji had obviously decided to reform a long time ago, and hiding Zhao Ning in advance was obviously to protect his position as the crown prince.
But...are you sure you can keep it?
By taking an official position in the royal family, are you really worried that your prestige in the royal family is too high?
For this reform, we don't need to take any action at all, just wait for the Zhao family to cause chaos on their own.
I don’t know what that little bastard Ying Wuji is thinking.
But judging from his previous performance, he should have some brains.
