However, blaming Mu Kangxun for this matter obviously did not help. After all, this was an order from Concubine Yang Shu, and he didn't dare to disobey.

At the moment, Zhao Dongting only endured his anger and said: "Don't forget to inform Yu Zhen of such things in the future!" ”

Mu Kangxun saw sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly responded.

Zhao Dongting frowned slightly, and said: "After the dynasty is dispersed, you will immediately go and release those nobles from prison, and you must comfort them with good words, so as not to make them resentful." Regardless of whether they had anything to do with the assassination, we can't just take people without conclusive evidence. ”

Mu Kangxun's heart was full of bitterness, but he could only nod his head.

I want him to be the governor of Leizhou Prefecture, but he wants to apologize to those local nobles, and he is also aggrieved. But Zhao Dongting spoke, what could he do?

And after Zhao Dongting finished explaining this sentence, he looked around at the ministers under the hall, "Do you Aiqing have something to play?" ”

No one answered.

These days, the work of various ministries and departments has been on the right track, and those little things are naturally not stupid enough to report to Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting waited for a few seconds, and when he saw that no one spoke, he said to Xiang Dongyang: "Bachelor Xiang, then I will bother you to tell me your thoughts on tax reduction and exemption of the field division system!" ”

"Yes."

Xiang Dongyang gestured towards Zhao Dongting.

Then he faced the ministers and slowly said his idea of reducing taxes and taxes in different levels.

He is not in a hurry, his demeanor is calm, and he has the style of a hermit.

The ministers were a little unimpressed at first, but as they listened, their faces became more and more surprised, and by the end, many people were already amazed.

Xiang Dongyang's idea is definitely not something that ordinary people can come up with.

At the moment, they no longer dare to underestimate Xiang Dongyang in their hearts.

Reducing taxes and taxes according to levels, and issuing subsidies, may really eliminate the resistance of the aristocracy to the system of dividing the land.

Lu Xiufu's eyes were full of amazement, and he said loudly: "Xiang students really have unique insights, and I can't think of what I can't think of." If you have nothing to do after the dispersal of the court, can you come to my house and sit down for a while, I am willing to listen to the views of the scholar on various government affairs. ”

Xiang Dongyang arched his hand and smiled: "Invited by the state order, it is better to be respectful than to obey the order." ”

He deduced Lu Xiufu's identity from Lu Xiufu's official robe. He also has some admiration for Lu Xiufu, a well-known official among the people.

Subsequently, several senior officials of the Ministry of State took the initiative to visit Lu Hideo's residence to discuss political affairs.

When Zhao Dongting saw this kind of scene, he was naturally happy in his heart, what the imperial court needed was such an atmosphere, not to dump each other like before.

Immediately afterwards, seeing that the ministers were fine, he asked Li Yuanxiu to announce the dissolution of the court.

The overall situation of Leizhou Mansion was initially decided, and he, the emperor, could finally relax a little.

Back in the dormitory, Ying'er and Le Wu were watering the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

Zhao Dongting originally wanted to go to Yang Shufei's palace to talk to Yang Shufei about the detention of nobles, but after thinking about it, he still gave up. He knew that Yang Shufei did this because of the grief and anger in his heart, and he didn't want to make Yang Shufei sad about this matter again.

When he had nothing to do, he asked Li Yuanxiu to teach him some basic martial arts skills in this courtyard.

The skills of Li Yuanxiu, Hong Wutian, and Sha Wanli all made Zhao Dongting have a strong interest in ancient martial arts.

Although he is the emperor, he also wants to become a peerless master of the dragon.

Li Yuanxiu is definitely a martial arts genius, and there is no one to teach him in the palace, but he insists on practicing martial arts to such a level.

With his teaching, Zhao Dongting felt that his path in martial arts might not necessarily be impossible to achieve.

Of course, Li Yuanxiu's martial arts can be so exquisite, and it has something to do with his lack of distractions. Those who concentrate on their work will achieve more in everything.

Zhao Dongting also knew in his heart that he had too many trivial things, and it would be difficult to reach the realm of Li Yuanxiu.

But this did not diminish his determination to practice martial arts.

He was willing to learn, Li Yuanxiu was willing to teach, and the two of them immediately spread out in the courtyard.

Zhao Dongting had only practiced internal skills before, and had never practiced the style, but now he is naturally lame when he learns at the beginning, which makes Ying'er and Le Wu laugh again and again.

In this way, Zhao Dongting did not give up until he was a little hungry.

At noon, Zhao Dongting was taking a nap in the dormitory, and the guards outside the door suddenly reported, "Your Majesty, General Liu of the Huanglong Forbidden Army asks to see you!" ”

"Liu Hongyi is coming back?"

Zhao Dongting was slightly puzzled, opened the door and walked out, only to see Liu Hongyi kneeling outside with a guilty face, and he hadn't even taken off his armor.

He had obviously just returned from the class, and he had not yet returned home and went straight to the palace.

Zhao Dongting had some bad feelings in his heart, and said, "General Liu, you get up first, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Hongyi knelt down and said: "The last general is unfavorable to go on an expedition and fails to exterminate the pirates, so please ask the emperor to punish him." ”

Zhao Dongting went up and pulled him up, and said, "It's not good to go on the expedition?" Tell me more about what's going on. ”

Liu Hongyi's face was full of grievance and embarrassment, "The last general led a large army to the islands near Leizhou Mansion to exterminate the pirates, but those thieves fled in despair, and the last general ...... The last general led a large army, but he couldn't find their whereabouts at all. In the past three days, the ...... has been Even the shadow of a pirate is barely visible. ”

Zhao Dongting couldn't help but be stunned, and then sighed: "The pirates are cunning and familiar with the sea area, so you can't blame General Liu." ”

His words made Liu Hongyi's face even more ashamed. I only feel that I have failed Zhao Dongting's trust.

Moreover, to his embarrassment, it was he himself who asked to exterminate the pirates in the council hall.

At this time, Zhao Dongting had already said again: "In this way, General Liu, you should go back to rest first, and then come to my dormitory after dinner, call General Su and General Yue, and then I will discuss the matter of exterminating the pirates." Those pirates were extremely cunning, and hurriedly encircled and suppressed, and it was useless to fear that all our soldiers would go to sea. ”

Zhao Dongting had never fought with pirates, but he could guess that those pirates could wreak havoc outside Leizhou Mansion for so long, and it would definitely be difficult to deal with.

At the beginning, I thought about this matter too simply.

Liu Hongyi nodded with a guilty face, "The last general will obey." ”

With that, he was ready to leave.

"That's right."

Zhao Dongting suddenly remembered something and asked, "General Liu, I asked you to investigate the matter of Xiulin Castle, how is it?" ”

Liu Hongyi said: "The last general went to exterminate the pirates this time, and he has not yet contacted those spies. When I get in touch with them, I will return to the Holy Shrine in the end. ”

"Okay."

Zhao Dongting nodded.

At night, the coolness suddenly came.

Liu Hongyi called Su Quandang, Yue Peng, and Su Liuyi to come to Zhao Dongting's dormitory together.

When the monarch saw the ceremony, he began to discuss how to exterminate the pirates in Zhao Dongting's bedroom.

Now that the hierarchical tax reduction and exemption policy is about to be introduced, the general situation of the development of Leizhou Mansion has been decided, and only these pirates are still obstructing.

But what they didn't know was that this night, another pirate attacked Suixi County off the coast of Leizhou Capital.

Hundreds of small boats took advantage of the night to drift from the sea and sneak ashore, and hundreds of pirates were familiar with the road to a village outside Suixi County.

These pirates were even more familiar with the geography of the near sea than the government.

And these villages are usually not guarded by soldiers.

It's just that this time, they touched the outside of the village, and before they could go in to burn and loot, a group of people suddenly came out from the nearby mountains and forests.

The pirates were shocked, and when they saw that none of them were wearing uniforms, and thought they were accomplices, the pirate leader asked, "Who are you?" ”

This group of people who emerged from the mountains and forests was only nearly a hundred, but all of them held swords, and the leader was a young man, handsome and chic, quite dignified. Holding a long sword with a glittering cold light in his hand, he sneered: "We are the people of Xiulinburg, and we have come to take the lives of you thieves and dogs!" ”

"Castle Shylin?"

The faces of many pirates changed drastically, and the rugged-looking pirate leader held a steel fork in his hand, and said fiercely: "We have nothing to do with your Xiulin Castle, what are you doing to care about the idle affairs of Lao Tzu?" Could it be that he has become a lackey of the imperial court? ”

The young man said quietly: "It's because you have nothing to do with it that you deserve to die......

As he spoke, he raised his arms and swung his sword, and without further words, he took the lead in rushing towards the pirate gang.

Looking at his pace, he is light and elegant, and his light achievements are obviously not trivial.

The nearly 100 people behind him who were armed and dressed in coarse cloth clothes were also rushing to kill the pirates, shouting loudly, all of them were full of energy, and they were all practitioners.

Their shouts made the village immediately lit up with a lot of lights.

The pirate leader gritted his teeth with hatred, but he didn't have the courage to fight them, so he just shouted, "Let's go!" ”

In fact, there is no need to say it, the name of "Xiulin Castle" alone has already scared many pirates.

Xiulinburg is indeed the leading force in the rivers and lakes in this Leizhou capital.

Seeing the pirates fleeing in the wilderness, the young man led by Xiulinburg sneered to himself, chased after one of the pirates, and stabbed one of the pirates to the cold, shouting: "Don't let go of this group of thieves!" Kill! ”

The people he brought with him were all outstanding in martial arts, and they chased after them, and they actually cut down those pirates like cutting melons and vegetables.

There are also practitioners among the pirates, but in front of them, they can't resist a few tricks at all. Occasionally, the slightly more powerful ones were also killed by the siege.

They can't kill or kill, they can't win when they run, and they scream and whine when they land.

When the villagers heard the noise, they quickly ran out, men, women, children, old and weak, women and children were all holding kitchen knives, hoes, and other things, although their faces were a little frightened, but they were full of indignation.

The villages along the coast of Leizhou Prefecture are often harassed by pirates, and they have long hated these pirates.

But before they could rush up, they heard the young man of Limburg shouting, "You must not come here, and it is dangerous to fight." ”

As he spoke, he slashed the throats of two pirates in quick succession with his sword.

Seeing his brothers being killed one after another, the pirate leader was furious, and couldn't bear it any longer, gritted his teeth and ran back with a steel fork, "Brothers, fight with them!" ”

The young man sneered, kicked over the two pirates who stood in the way, and headed towards the pirate leader.

Looking at his expression, it was clear that he didn't take these pirates seriously.
