In the capital, the wind gradually rose, rolling up the dead leaves that fell from the trees, floating in the air, and a desolate state appeared.

In the palace, in Xia Jingnian's bedroom, he suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "Qiang'er, Qiang'er!" ”

But no one agreed, only the palace maids and eunuchs who served around them trembled.

Xia Jingnian wanted to pull open the quilt covering him and wanted to get out of bed, but he was stimulated to the injured part of his body and covered the wound at once. But the urgency in his heart made him not care about his wounds at all, and hurriedly remembered.

The snow-white gauze was gradually infected with bright red blood, which was particularly conspicuous, like a touch of red plum on the snow.

The imperial doctor ran from the door to stop Xia Jingnian's movements non-stop, and persuaded in a panic: "Your Majesty, you can't move at all now, the wound that the old man just bandaged for you, if you move, it will be involved, won't it be bandaged in vain?" ”

Xia Jingnian didn't want to care about the wound, now he just wanted to find the kidnapped Ji Qiang, he interrupted the hand that the imperial doctor stretched out to re-bandage him, trying to break free from his hand: "Go away, I'm going to find Qiang'er." ”

The imperial physician stopped the movements in his hand, and Xia Jingnian took the opportunity to break free from the trouble, but stopped his pace in the imperial doctor's words: "Your Majesty, we can understand that you want to find Niangniang's heart, but now is not the time for you to be willful, you have just ascended the throne, there are still many things to deal with, and you are injured again, do you want to throw down this piece of the country and drag your broken body to find Niangniang?" ”

The imperial doctor's words successfully worked, Xia Jingnian's expression was sad, the complexity and struggle between his expressions, after a little hesitation, he still chose to turn back, calm down and calmly ordered: "Send the army to expand the scope to search for Ji Qiang and arrest Xia Chengmu!" ”

The next day, Xia Jingnian appeared in the court with a pale face, dealing with the things that had accumulated in the past few days with vigorous and resolute means: "I have seen them one by one. From now on, there will be things that need to be rectified in the DPRK and China, and if they have any good suggestions, they can put forward them now. ”

Yang Shangshu of the household department stood out from the queue, blessed the body and said softly: "The emperor wants to express his opinion on the abolition of obsolete laws. ”

Under Xia Jingnian's promising gaze, Yang Shangshu spoke: "I have a lot of laws, but some of them are gradually invalid. Dynasties are changing, and we can't keep the old ideas all the time. Old laws have been duly repealed and new ones have been added. ”

"That's right, I've been thinking about the old law that is not good to be scrapped, but I don't have an idea, and now you have put it forward, and it's time to pass on the music to me after it's sorted out." Xia Jingnian solved the problem of abolishing the law by dividing it by two.

He pondered for a moment and said the question that had been haunting his mind for a long time: "I have learned about the situation of the people before, and I have traveled to many places to visit some things, and I have found that my country has a lot of taxes. Almost half of the fruits of the people's hard work over the past year have been handed over, and they have not left much behind. ”

The courtiers looked at each other, not knowing what to say, and one of the courtiers stood up with a frown, shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is a question about taxation, which has been passed down from generation to generation, and no emperor has ever revised the ......" No. 6

At this point, he already had a slight advice, but Xia Jingnian didn't listen to it at all, and smiled lightly: "I don't know if Zhong Aiqing has heard a sentence, water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat." If the people do not deal with these things, it will cause them to be miserable. ”

"It's not that the things that have been handed down by our ancestors are bad, but we have to bring forth the new, and the old things that are not good for us must always be discarded." Once Xia Jingnian decides on something, he will not change it easily, and immediately ordered: "Today, there is a method for dealing with the problem of the abolition of obsolete laws and the payment of taxes by the people, and you Aiqing will present the method tomorrow." ”

After dealing with these things, Xia Jingnian did not immediately retreat from the court, but sat firmly on the dragon chair for a while, casually looking at the courtiers below with a casual gaze. After half a ring, he spoke softly: "I have just ascended the throne, and the things in my hands are piling up. But for some reason, there are always people who want to touch my mold at this time. ”

When Xia Jingnian said this, several of the courtiers below felt a sigh in their hearts, and a little cold sweat involuntarily broke out on their faces, but they didn't dare to wipe it.

And the words continued: "There is a list of the remaining party under Xia Chengmu, I have a list in my hand, I don't know if the people in it will consciously stand up......" Xia Jingnian's words seemed to explode a stone on the surface of a calm lake, and Xia Chengmu's remaining party hidden in it suddenly looked up at Xia Jingnian at a high place, but immediately lowered his head at the next moment for fear of being discovered, and his expression changed

The corners of Xia Jingnian's mouth slowly outlined a shallow smile, and his fingers slowly tapped on the armrest on the side, and the gentle tapping sound made some people can't help but pinch their fingers tightly.

Xia Jingnian will not show mercy to these remnants, the power is not completely in his own hands, the remnants have not been cleared, it is impossible to sit on the dragon chair under this buttocks, if you want to take the power in your own hands, you have to deal with these people hidden in the shadows with vigor and resoluteness.

Xia Jing pointed out Xia Chengmu's remnants in a young voice, and when he saw that their faces were panicked and they were still quibbling, he ordered the imperial guards to take them down directly and send them to prison, and turned around to leave.

And Xia Jingnian's every move in the court today has been spread among the courtiers, and some people who are hiding their little thoughts have also dispelled their thoughts. Xia Jingnian is not a cat, he is a tiger with sharp claws, and he will swallow you in one bite if he is not careful.

When Xia Jingnian dealt with the remnants of the party in cold blood, Ji Qiang in the mountains was very dangerous.

Xia Chengmu already knew that he could not regain the throne again, and the first thing Xia Jingnian did when he ascended the throne must be to clear the remnants of his party, and there was no point where he could turn over.

Thinking of this time, Xia Chengmu's consciousness was a little crazy, and he looked at Ji Qiang on the side with gentle and crazy eyes: "If you don't agree to cooperate with me, and Xia Jingnian hasn't come to save you for a long time, does that mean that he has given up on you?" ”

These words pierced Ji Qiang's heart like a knife, and she endured it without refuting it, silent and speechless.

"Since you are a person who has been abandoned, and I don't have any way to turn over, why don't we go to Huangquan together, wouldn't it be good to be a pair of Huangquan travelers on this Huangquan Road?" Xia Chengmu watched Ji Qiang muttering to himself and walked slowly towards the latter.
