Since Li Jun came back from Changle Palace, he has been very unhappy, and he doesn't know why, maybe it's a little jealous, with Li Qi, he is no longer the only one in the Empress Dowager Wei, although this emotion is ridiculous, but it really exists in Li Jun's heart.

Xiao Meier is a very understanding wife, she saw Li Jun's strange appearance, and arranged for two palace maids to sleep that night, Li Jun smiled bitterly, and sent away the two palace maids, Li Jun went directly to the Imperial Garden, I didn't see Jin Shan'er in Changle Palace today, she should be waiting for herself in the Imperial Garden tonight.

Before Li Jun walked to the Imperial Garden, he met He Shen, who came in a hurry, and Li Jun said with a smile: "Didn't you let you take a day off?" Why did you run here again? ”

He Shen gasped and said, "Your Majesty, Jinyiwei just came to report that King Yan has passed away. ”

Li Jun sighed and said: "Alas, Uncle Yan Wang is close to the age of the sixtieth year, and at the beginning of this year, I have already seen that he is not in good health, but I didn't expect it to be so sudden, He Shen, write it down, and give Uncle Yan Wang a golden jade robe." ”

"This old slave knows, but Jinyiwei received a secret report."

"Hurry up, don't spit out." Li Jun asked unhappily.

"The step-concubine of King Yan has an adulterous affair with the prince of King Yan." He Shen gritted his teeth and said, and then immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head, ready to meet Li Jun's storm.

After waiting for a long time, I saw Li Jun say calmly: "I know, don't spread it." After saying that, Li Jun left, and He Shen immediately followed inexplicably.

The reason why Li Jun didn't get angry was because Li Jun remembered that during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he took this kind of thing as an opportunity to wipe out all the princes and kings, so this matter still needs to be planned by himself......

Li Junmei slept beautifully, and just got up the next morning, he heard a terrible news, Gongsun Kun sent a piece of music and said: The Yelang envoy is going back to the palace, and he just made a holy decree yesterday, saying that the envoys of all countries should stay in the capital for a few more days, so as to participate in Xiao Li Qi's 100-day banquet, and the next day he was slapped in the face by the Yelang envoy.

In the end, Li Jun still approved the word "Xu" on the fold, it doesn't matter, no matter how much he endures, it is estimated that Ye Liyun has not returned to China yet, and he will encounter a lot of slave hunting groups, and see how this guy reacts when the time comes.

Ji Meng has paid special attention to the dynamics of Yelang Country recently, and when he heard the news of Ye Liyun's return to China, Ji Meng went to Fengchang as soon as possible.

When Ji Meng came, Ye Liyun was eating breakfast, and when he heard that it was Ji Meng asking to see him, Ye Liyun waved his hand and said, "I don't see you." In one sentence, Ji Meng was dismissed.

Ji Meng ate a closed door, and the thunder was furious, this bastard really doesn't know how to lift, but it's okay, he originally wanted to talk to Ye Liyun this time and go to the population business in the southwest together, so that he might be able to protect Yelang Country, but now it seems that Ye Liyun himself has cut off this vitality.

At this time, Ji Meng's subordinates came over and scolded: "This bastard thing dares to turn away our Imperial Forest Army, it is really unreasonable, general, do you want to send someone to break in directly." ”

Ji Meng waved his hand and said: "No need, since Yelang Country chose to cut off its own vitality, then you can't blame us, go and tell the brothers that Yelang Country cannot be fought for, and don't be merciful when doing things." ”

"No, the last will obey."

On this day, Ji Meng came to the palace early on an errand, Li Jun came out of Shangshutai to deal with political affairs, and happened to see Ji Meng leading people to inspect, so he said with a smile: "Come, go for a walk with me." ”

Li Jun took Ji Meng straight to Beique, which is not only a martial arts arena, but also a place where the emperor held a night banquet, and since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been many wars in this place, every time the throne is handed over, the palace is in rebellion, and Beique is the main battlefield.

Li Jun stood on the high platform and looked down, and suddenly sighed and said, "I don't know how many unjust souls there are in this place?" ”

Ji Meng followed Li Jun's words and said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, when the minister led people to patrol this place at night, he felt a gust of cloudy wind, which was very infiltrating. ”

Li Jun still believes in Ji Meng, who he pulled up by himself, but this time this guy did go a little too far, Li Jun originally planned to let Ji Meng be an introduction and attract Xungui's energy to the southwest, but Ji Meng forgot his identity, he now wants to unite all forces to develop the southwest, although the effect is better, but in the eyes of the emperor, the consequences are very great, once the southwest region becomes Ji Meng's hall, then Li Jun's actions are not to move stones and shoot himself in the foot.

So Li Juncai wanted to take this opportunity to remind Ji Meng, Li Jun asked with a smile: "General Ji, I heard that Yelang's envoy Ye Liyun gave you a closed door." ”

Ji Meng immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the minister went to Ye Liyun just to find a partner, but Ye Liyun didn't know how to lift, so the minister had to give up his previous idea. ”

"What? General Ji still wants to keep Yelang? Li Jun asked coldly.

"The minister has this plan, and if Yelang is here, we can do more things through Yelang's hands." Ji Meng said stubbornly.

"But I don't want to, what is Yelang? They are the countries of Southern Chu, they are the hegemons of the southwest, you fool, how dare I stay in such a country? I don't want to destroy Nan Chu and come out again. Li Jun snorted coldly.

Hearing this, Ji Meng hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded: "Your Majesty forgives me, the minister is confused." ”

Ji Meng knelt on the ground for a long time before he heard Li Jun say coldly: "If you know your mistakes, change them, I will spare you once, and I will tell those people under your hands, don't jump too happy, the most important thing is that the population of the southwest does not want it, but if anyone dares to hit the people of Southern Chu, I will not forgive." ”

"Your Majesty obeys." Ji Meng immediately replied.

"Okay, go back, and be fined for half a year." Li Jun waved his hand.

Ji Meng was amnestied and immediately said goodbye and left, in fact, Ji Meng still had a question in his heart, that is, why couldn't the people of Southern Chu move? It is estimated that the people of the Tang Dynasty do not understand this matter, but Li Jun knows in his heart that most of the places occupied by Southern Chu now are actually dominated by Han Chinese, and once Li Jun breaks through Southern Chu, there is no pressure to rule in this area, because the Southern Chu people are used to the ruling method of the Central Plains Dynasty.

These things are top secrets, and if they leak out, they will stink for 10,000 years, so Li Juncai chose Beique, the place with the heaviest yin qi in the palace, to discuss these things, and the secret things should be done in the place with the heaviest yin qi.

The daily Li Jun is actually quite close to the people, he will take a few more glances when he sees the beautiful palace maids, and he will draw his sword to help when he sees someone in the palace bullying people, so he is in a high position and handsome, and the most important thing is Li Jun, who has a good temper, is especially popular with the palace maids, but unfortunately there is no other person in the palace except for a red sleeve.

For the taxation of the slave trade, Li Jun made the Shaofu responsible, so most of the officials in the court did not know about this matter, that is, some of them knew the inside story, and they were also vested interests.

Li Jun just returned to Shangshutai, Prime Minister Xiao Wangzhi asked for an audience, Li Jun did not dare to slack off, immediately summoned Xiao Wangzhi into the palace, in the Tang Dynasty, the prime minister's status is very high, every time the prime minister and the emperor have a conversation, it will be recorded in the history books by the historian.

So when Xiao Wangzhi came, Sima Da would also be there, Xiao Wangzhi saw Li Jun first saluted, and then Li Jun needed to stand up to accept the prime minister's gift, and then Li Jun would immediately give the seat, the first emperor was once talking to Xiao Wangzhi, he forgot to give the seat, and then Sima Da wrote it into the living note, which also became a clear proof that the first emperor was a faint king.

So Li Jun paid special attention to these details, and after Xiao Wangzhi sat down, Li Jun asked with a smile: "Teacher, is there anything important about coming here today?" ”

Xiao Wangzhi handed Li Jun a list and then said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, this is the list of slaves released by the powerful and nobles from all over the country during this time, please take a look at it." ”

Li Jun opened it and saw that there were already more than 160,000 people on it, Li Jun was very happy in his heart, it seemed that these people were still quite good.

At this time, Xiao Wangzhi poured a basin of cold water on Li Jun and said: "Your Majesty, even so, there is a problem, that is, most of the people released this time are old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are very few young and middle-aged people. ”

Hearing this, Li Jun's smile suddenly stopped and he said, "These guys are really smart, teacher, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Xiao Wangzhi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you said at the beginning that Han slaves are charged five times more taxes than Hu slaves, and everything is voluntary. ”

"Hmph, I am unwilling to be succeeded by these people like this." Li Jun snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty can make a holy decree clearly." Xiao Wangzhi said with a smile.

"Teacher, if I make a holy decree, it will be forced to force them, and in this way, the people of the world will probably talk about my words and not believe them." Li Jun smiled bitterly.

Xiao Wangzhi explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, the old minister didn't mean that, Your Majesty, your holy decree still requires everyone to be voluntary, but one must be added, that is, the person who is released must be a family, and no one dares to object." ”

"The teacher's strategy is very good." Li Jun nodded with satisfaction and said, Xiao Wangzhi is worthy of being a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and the plan he came up with is safe.

Xiao Wangzhi continued: "Your Majesty, today's old minister still treats you as a student, as a teacher, you still have to attend a class. ”

"Teacher, please speak." Li Jun humbly asked.

"Your Majesty, the policies formulated for politicians are not without loopholes to grasp, so this requires politicians to have the courage to admit their mistakes, and it is the best policy to remedy them in time when they find loopholes, and they can't knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs because of face, which will harm the country and the people." Xiao Wangzhi said earnestly.

"Students are taught ......"
