On the way to the Imperial Garden, Qin Guan took the initiative to show his affection and asked Li Chaoen: "Eunuch Li, it's the first time I've seen Your Majesty alone, I don't know what to pay attention to."

Li Chaoen looked at Qin Guan who was sincerely asking for advice and admired his attitude very much. Unlike some literati, who were full of pride, he always had a disdain when talking to the eunuch. Li Chaoen explained some of the emperor's taboos to Qin Guan, and even revealed some of the emperor's likes and dislikes to prevent Qin Guan from colliding with the emperor.

Qin Guan took the opportunity to ask again: "I don't know what's wrong with Your Majesty calling me."

Li Chao's benefactor is a mature person and fought in the palace for half his life. Now he can become the emperor's most trusted chief magistrate. How could he know that Qin Guan is messing with his own words? However, Li Chao'en also had a good impression of Qin Guan, who is polite and talented, and said with a smile: "The official family has read your test paper and likes your poems very much. The official family has told you to go there after seeing your argument. You should have a concern in your heart."

Qin Guan now understands.

Thank you quickly: "Thank you, Eunuch Li, Qin Guan will never forget this kindness."

Li Chaoen smiled, "A word of mind, there is no kindness. The miscellaneous people don't know the affairs in the court, but the miscellaneous people just remember one sentence. Regardless of Zhang, King, Li and Zhao, the world is controlled by the officials."

This sentence enlightened Qin Guan.

What about Zeng Yu and Shen Zheng? The world belongs to the emperor. It is more direct than anyone who depends on him.

If you want to hug your thighs, the emperor is the thickest thigh in the world.

Qin Guan clasped his fists with his hands and respectfully bowed to Li Chaoen. The Great Zhao State rarely kneels down, unless the master and servant, even if the ministers saw the emperor, they would just bow and bow. This was already a great gift.

Qin Guan bowed and bowed and bowed, but he was sincere. He had no disgust towards eunuchs. There were more strange people in modern society than eunuchs, and society accepted them. What was eunuchs worth?

If they were evil courts, haha, if it weren't for the emperor's instructions, what would it be like to have a group of eunuchs without power? There were many eunuchs who were so powerful in the court and the country in history, but if the emperor had just a note, these people would be killed and not even have the ability to resist.

When he arrived at the Imperial Garden, Qin Guan met the emperor for the second time.

"I have met Your Majesty, I have met you." Qin Guan bowed respectfully.

The emperor looked at Qin Guan up and down. Qin Guan looked good, but he was very talented at a young age. The emperor himself liked calligraphy and painting, and he also loved poetry. The emperor had heard of Qin Guan's poems and admired them very much. Now when he saw Qin Guan, he couldn't help but feel a loving talent in his heart.

"I just wrote a picture, let's see how it is." The emperor suddenly said.

Qin Guan was very surprised. He felt that the emperor should ask him about strategy, but how to get up but what calligraphy he could read.

However, the emperor was the biggest. Qin Guan came to the desk and pressed a pair of words with paperweight on it. After Qin Guan saw it, he was slightly surprised that it was his Linjiang Fairy.

After reading it, Qin Guan organized a speech in his heart and said: "Your Majesty's calligraphy is easy and quick to use, and the handwriting is thin and vigorous, and it is thin without losing its flesh. You can clearly see the traces of the movements of Huang Tingjian, Chu Suiliang and Xue Ji, and the calligraphy is exquisite, and it has a unique style. It is really the most beautiful calligraphy that Weichen has ever seen."

The emperor laughed, "You little guy, look honest, but your mouth is very smooth."

Qin Guan replied with a smile: "I am completely from the heart."

The emperor said: "I like this word you very much, but you are young, how could you have such a desolate, tragic, peaceful and indifferent idea?"

Qin Guan said: "I have seen the Three Kingdoms, and I have been excited about the heroic and intense nature of the Three Kingdoms. But hundreds of years have passed, and now when I look back, everything has disappeared, and I can't help but sigh a little more in my heart."

The emperor nodded. He was also reading the history of the Three Kingdoms recently and had such an idea in his mind, but he could not write such appropriate poems as Qin Guan, so he particularly liked Qin Guan, Linjiang Fairy.

Simply put, it hits the emperor's g-point.

That's why he appreciates it so much.

The emperor said to Li Chaoen: "Give him a seat."

Li Chaoen ordered the young eunuch to bring a low stool, and Qin Guan sat under the emperor. Li Chaoen was also observing Qin Guan. Although this young man showed great respect when he saw the emperor, no one else was as nervous as he saw the emperor, and even acted inappropriately. Instead, he had a calm and moderate answer, respectful but not flattering, but he felt like a spring breeze, which made Li Chaoen feel that several prime ministers were meeting the emperor.

At this moment, Li Chaoen's attention to Qin Guan increased a little more. Perhaps this young man may really stand at the peak of the court in the future.

As soon as Qin Guan sat down, the emperor asked, "That strategy was written by me personally, but you only wrote eight words, "Cultural Strategy, Economic War". What is the reason?"

Qin Guan bowed and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I think these eight words are enough to summarize my ideas."

"As for the fact that I didn't write it out in detail, it was because I was worried that I would spread it after I wrote this strategy. If I was listened to by the spies from the Western Xia of Liao Kingdom, then my country would have no effect if I wanted to implement this strategy."

When the emperor heard Qin Guan say this, he aroused his interest, "Oh, it seems that you are very confident in your countermeasures, and you actually think of the issue of leaks and implementation. Then you can talk about it in detail."

Qin Guan knew that this was the emperor taking the exam, and it was now considered a real palace examination. Qin Guan sorted out his thoughts and said, "As the topic of Your Majesty's theory, my Great Zhao is now surrounded by the enemy country, and his military strength is slightly inferior. The incident of invading the border occasionally occurs."

"The power of our country to invest in the army is actually very large. The court has to pay 40% of the tax burden to support the army every year, which has overwhelmed the national finances."

"In the eyes of Weichen, it is somewhat unrealistic to talk about strengthening arms and increasing investment in this situation."

The emperor looked up at Qin Guan, but he didn't expect that such a young man would not inspire and inspire the strong army like other young men. Instead, he could see that the court was overwhelmed. It seemed that Qin Guan was not as young as he looked on the surface and had a very mature mind.

Qin Guan continued: "And the current situation is that our country and Liao, Xixia and Tufan have also signed agreements to not violate each other. Although they did not do well, they have not had a large-scale war for more than ten years. This is a good thing for the Great Zhao State and can ensure the country's stability and people's living."

"So you can't increase the number of troops at will, as this will cause tension in neighboring countries and may cause greater friction."
