Li Jun took everyone to experience the power of gunpowder again, Gao Zhe and the others were full of confidence in this war, Wei Wuji said with a smile: "With this magic weapon, if you can't win the battle, our generals should twist off their heads and kick them as balls." ”

Everyone hurriedly agreed, only Xiao Wangzhi said lightly: "Generals, remember not to underestimate the enemy, are there still few famous generals in the history books who have been ruined because of the underestimation of the enemy?" ”

Li Jun nodded and said: "What the prime minister said is extremely true, this time we must do our best to recover Yuyang, and when our country is developing for a few years, it will be time to repay the blood debt." ”

"Haha, then the old minister will strive to live a few more years, waiting to see His Majesty show his might." Gao Zhe said with a laugh.

Li Jun snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, I tell you, without my permission, it will be difficult for you old guys to die, are you my Huashan Divine Doctor an ornament?" ”

After hearing this, everyone immediately arched their hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, old minister......"

Gao Zhe didn't stay in the capital for long, and soon returned to Liaodong, this time Gao Zhe was the boss, so he had to hurry back to deploy troops, and Gao Zhe left with Wei Chaodong and Xue Ren, the night before leaving, Li Jun held Wei Chaodong and Xue Ren's hands and said: "Two Aiqing, you can't embarrass me when you go to Liaodong this time, you are my own soldiers." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the last general will return triumphantly."

Li Jun nodded and said, "In the end, I have one more word to instruct, that is, I must come back alive." ”

"Obey." The two knelt on the ground and said movingly.

Sending off the soldiers who went out, Li Jun's mood was lost for several days, and on this day Li Jun was taking Xiaoqing in a daze in the imperial garden, and Xiao Meier quietly walked in.

Li Jun smiled and asked, "Mei'er, what's the matter?" ”

Xiao Mei'er helped Li Jun put on a cloak and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's cold." ”

Li Jun looked in the northeast direction and said, "Chang'an is cold, will Liaodong be even colder?" ”

"Your Majesty, the soldiers have the blessing of their ancestors when they go on the expedition, and it is useless for you to worry about it now, it will only make yourself uncomfortable." Xiao Meier persuaded.

Li Jun sighed and said, "I hope everything goes well." ”

Xiao Mei'er grabbed Li Jun's hand, and the two of them stared at the sky in a daze together, and suddenly Xiao Mei'er whispered: "Your Majesty, the concubine has changed all the people in the palace of Concubine Ru on her own initiative, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

Hearing this, Li Jun's old face turned red, every man has a little fetish, but it would be a little embarrassing if his wife found out about it, Li Jun quickly nodded and said, "Okay, everything depends on you." After speaking, he casually found a reason and left the place with Xiaoqing.

Li Jun went to the palace of the concubine in a panic, and sure enough, the entire palace changed its face, and it lost the exotic style before, and it took on a new look, and Princess Izumo saw Li Jun and immediately bowed: "The concubine body sees Your Majesty." ”

Li Jun sighed and said, "Hey, I've suffered you for this time, and I will treat you well in the future." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your pity." Princess Izumo has been wronged for so long, and at this time it finally broke out, and Li Jun stayed in Princess Izumo's palace that night, and the relationship between the two finally became a normal husband and wife relationship......

On this day, Li Jun just came to Shangshutai, and saw Zhang Zhi and Gong Qing kneeling outside the door to plead guilty, Li Jun frowned and said, "What's the matter?" Those merchants are making trouble? ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent, the merchants are making trouble in Hedong, and now all the businesses in Hedong have not opened." Zhang Zhi lowered his head and said ashamedly.

Li Jun said coldly: "Tell me the reason? ”

"Your Majesty, the reason is simple, they do not agree to increase the commercial tax." Gong Qing immediately replied.

"Did I say what I wanted?"

"Having said that, three taxes and one, Your Majesty agrees that they will do the business of the military."

"Don't agree with this either?"

Zhang Zhi shook his head and said: "Some merchants agreed, but there were a few big merchants who struggled to obstruct it, so they didn't dare to say anything." ”

"Oh, that's interesting, let's talk about it, who is the financier behind the few merchants who obstructed it?" Li Jun sneered.

"Your Majesty, this teacher and his old man have already found out, those people and the mastermind behind the dungeon are the same people, the teacher speculates that it is because their master family is still locked up by His Majesty, so they use this to blackmail Your Majesty." Gong Qing said angrily.

Li Jun felt that this matter was not so simple, just those few pieces of material did not have the courage to dare to sing against him, whether it was the dungeon or this Hedong incident, there must be someone behind the promotion, and those eight people were the trick, the real mastermind behind the scenes was someone else, all of this had to wait for the truth to be solved after Yin Shijing entered Beijing.

And the matter in front of him is actually not difficult to solve, he is the emperor, and he will never compromise with a few businessmen, Li Jun thought for a while and said slowly: "Spread the decree, those noisy and powerful merchants will confiscate their business licenses, and the rest of the merchants will pay four taxes and one, and the merchants related to the people's livelihood will pay six taxes and one." ”

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Zhi immediately complimented, Zhang Zhi was really scared this time, he was afraid that His Majesty would kill the heads in a fit of anger, and now this bloodless method is the best.

After Zhang Zhi and Gong Qing left, Li Jun immediately instructed He Shen: "Secretly escort Yin Shijing into Beijing, as well as the eight people who are locked up in the temple, they will be fined for one year, and they will all be released, but they must be closely monitored, who these eight people have met during this period and how long they have been chatting, you Jinyi Wei must grasp it." ”

"The old slave obeys." After speaking, He Shen trotted down to make arrangements.

Today, the sun is shining outside, and it is very warm in the hall, but Li Jun's heart is cold, Li Jun secretly swears, no matter who it is? Dare to threaten yourself at this juncture, and he won't let them go until the end, Li Jun walked out of the main hall, squinted at the sun and said slowly: "You always have to pay it back when you come out, since the game has started, it is up to me to decide when it will end......."

This time it was Meng Qiao who personally escorted Yin Shijing back to Beijing, and when he walked to Hanzhong, Meng Qiao received an urgent flying pigeon from Jinyiwei, Meng Qiao thought for a while and immediately said: "Come here, pass the order to go down and turn to the southeast." ”

"No."

Yin Shijing got down from the carriage and asked, "What's the matter with Lord Meng?" ”

Meng Qiao quipped: "Lord Juzi, it's not about the people who heard that you are handsome, and they are waiting to see you in front, but Meng Mou sees that Lord Juzi's health is not very good, and the people in Guanzhong are enthusiastic, if something happens, it will not be good, for the sake of Lord Juzi's safety, Meng is ready to find a place with few people to detour." ”

Yin Shijing smiled bitterly: "Master Meng is really funny, you just said that someone wants to kill me, why do you say it so tactfully?" ”

"The giant is smart, the road will be bumpy in the future, please be more considerate of the giant." Meng Qiao arched his hand and said.

"It's okay, I don't care, but the rest of my Yin and Yang family asks Lord Meng to protect it, if something happens again, I really don't have the face to see my father." Yin Shijing pleaded.

"Juzi Gaoyi, don't worry, Meng will protect the other gentlemen, Juzi has something I want to remind you, if you tell Your Majesty what you are behind now, you can enter Beijing in a bright and bright way, does Juzi really not think about it?"

Yin Shijing shook his head and said: "Lord Meng, it's not that you don't know how to lift, the matter of gunpowder is related to the national design, and Your Majesty wants to give it in the next meeting, but this matter, I still have to meet the little sister in the next place, and then I will not stand if I don't have faith, I promised others, and I won't break my word until I have to." ”

"Alas, since the giant is so insistent, then Meng has nothing to say, I just hope that there will be no danger along the way, and a few fewer people will die." Meng Qiao sighed and said.

"Why don't you ask the government for help?" Yin Shijing asked.

Meng Qiao rubbed his forehead and said: "Now that we are not divided between the enemy and me, the mastermind behind you doesn't have to think that it is also an official family, so it's better not to take risks at this time." ”

"In that case, then please accept this powder bag from Lord Meng, just in case." Yin Shijing took out a few bamboo tubes from the carriage and handed them to Meng Qiao.

Meng Qiao looked left and right, but he didn't see anything unusual, so he asked, "Are you sure this is what Your Majesty has worked so hard to get." ”

Yin Shijing picked up the fire candle and lit one casually and threw it out, a "boom" sound came, and suddenly the entire convoy turned on their backs, and the smoke and ashes dispersed, Yin Shijing asked with a smile: "Master Meng, did you believe it this time?" ”

Meng Qiao plucked out his ears and scolded: "Damn, what kind of shit is this, it's like thunder, thanks to the fact that the giant is a Tang Dynasty, if you are from the Northern Jin or the Northern Liao, then Lao Tzu will not live." ”

"Haha, there is this thing to ensure that we are safe all the way, hurry up." Yin Shijing said with a laugh.

Meng Qiao pursed his lips and went to straighten out the team......

Meng Qiao's detour, walked for ten days to the Chang'an Post House, seeing that he was about to enter Chang'an, Meng Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, at this time a middle-aged man walked in and arched his hand to Meng Qiao and said: "This official He Jun, ordered by the command to take Yin Shijing into the palace, Lord Meng has worked hard all the way, rest for a few days." ”

"What about tokens? Meng also stayed in Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei only recognizes tokens, not people, this is an iron law. Meng Qiao said coldly.

The middle-aged man threw a token to Meng Qiao, and Meng Qiao arched his hand after inspecting it: "Disrespectful and disrespectful, it turned out to be Lord He, Lord He's room will cool down for a while, and Meng will go and ask the giant." ”

"Hmph, no need, no one dares to bargain with the people Your Majesty wants to see." He Jun snorted coldly.

Seeing He Jun so polite, Meng Qiao just wanted to get angry, and a cold voice came: "Master Meng doesn't have to be embarrassed, why don't Yin go with this adult?" ”

Meng Qiao sighed, had to let people go, looking at He Jun's swaggering through the market, Meng Qiao couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that when Brother Ji was in charge, Jinyiwei was low-key errands, but in just a few months, it became like this, Jinyiwei was His Majesty's black gloves, and he did some dirty things, and if he was so swaggering, something would happen sooner or later.

At this time, a personal soldier who had followed Meng Qiao in Jinyiwei said disdainfully: "The surname He doesn't have a good thing, after taking over Jinyiwei, he wantonly wooed Brother Ji's people, and some brothers disagreed, and they were fired, which is really too deceitful." ”

Meng Qiao glared at his soldiers fiercely and said: "Sai Weng knows if he loses his horse, don't talk nonsense if he doesn't understand, the province will bring disaster to Brother Ji, and our brothers will go to see Brother Ji in a while, and we will know whether Brother Ji's situation is good or bad." ”

"Hehe, Boss Meng is right, I haven't drunk the spirits of the north for a long time, this time I came to the capital, I must take care of it with Brother Ji."

"Hmph, you're greedy."
