There is always a certain gap between the ideal and the reality! Although Li Zijun said that he moved Minian to intercede for him, the city guard of Lance finally refused his request on the grounds of his health.

However, as Vero said, Lance finally did not completely lose face to Li Zijun, he not only sent his four sons and Minian to Li Zijun, but also recommended some of the children of the western bigwigs to Li Zijun.

With these people accompanying him, Li Zijun finally had some confidence in his heart.

Time was pressing, Li Zijun immediately packed his bags, and within a day, he led 20,000 forbidden troops and set off for Tuscano.

Along the way, wherever Li Zijun went, he would definitely be greeted by local officials. Just as Vero had predicted, Li Zijun received countless gold, silver and jewelry.

Li Zijun does not refuse, as long as you dare to send, I dare to accept it, and he is not happy to send less!

It stands to reason that Li Zijun's move will definitely leave a name of 'sky-high' in the local area, but on the contrary, he has gained many titles such as 'Qingtian' and 'virtuous minister'.

The reason is very simple, Li Zijun will cash out the gifts he receives everywhere he goes, and use the realized amount to reduce local taxes.

In this way, the local people will naturally benefit a lot, and those officials will not have anything to lose. As a result, Li Zijun's reputation is getting better and better.

This also made Li Zijun not yet arrive in Tuscano, and his name as a virtuous king had already spread throughout the entire Ziqing Empire!

After entering Tuscano, Li Zijun first made up the arrears of Ziqing officials during this period.

Although Li Zijun's move is not big, the impact on the Ziqing officials is not trivial. The salary itself is nothing, and to be honest, few of the officials who serve in Toscano really take it to heart, what they really care about is the meaning behind the salary!

As the saying goes, 'I don't listen to what you say, I only watch what you do'! In a sense, it is not as 'affordable' as Li Zijun's salary supplement!

Because, to a large extent, the payment of back salaries means. The vast majority of officials will be retained, and this was originally the most worrying issue for Ziqing officials.

Next. Li Zijun announced another will of His Majesty Virgil: to temporarily set Toscano as the capital of the Dongyu Empire, and all officials will continue to be retained in their original positions.

As soon as this decree was announced, although the Ziqing officials inevitably felt sad, their hearts were basically calm.

In the end, Li Zijun punished several big corrupt officials in Ziqing on behalf of His Majesty Fergil, and without exception, all of them were dismissed and turned into commoners. But it all ended here, and their lives were saved in the end.

After completing these three things. Li Zijun withdrew from the Ziqing Palace, and this was the only time he entered the Ziqing Palace this time. From this day on, until he left, he never stepped into the Ziqing Palace again, and he lived in the courtyard of Reims City guarding the capital.

At first, the officials of Ziqing regarded Li Zijun as their emperor, and they all came to him for advice.

At first, Li Zijun reluctantly received some officials, but gradually, he got annoyed, and in the end, he pretended to be sick in Toscano.

The prince's illness is so good?! Ziqing officials came to visit one after another with gifts. But this time is different from the past, they all ate 'closed doors' without exception.

What's wrong with this, Lord Wang? Why don't you even accept gifts? The Ziqing officials panicked all of a sudden, and they hurriedly searched for news one by one.

It didn't take long. They learned the exact situation from the children of Lance, and it turned out that the 'prince' hated to be tired of idle things and did not like to be disturbed by people too often!

After learning this 'information', the scene of the busy traffic in Reims Mansion was immediately improved, and Li Zijun was finally freed from complicated affairs.

In addition to writing official documents every ten days to report Ziqing's situation to His Majesty Virgil, in the following days, Li Zijun's main task every day was to accompany Winnie and Minien to play around, and the three of them played all over the mountains and rivers near Toscano this time!

Li Zijun is having a good time in Toscano, but there is a big argument in Filano because of him.

"Father. You ordered Ed to be in the Purple Prison Country, but he was playing around there. That's not all, he actually blatantly accepted bribes from Ziqing officials. And that's not all. Erchen also learned that in order to avoid dealing with daily affairs, he was still pretending to be sick in the palace! Erchen felt that Ed was really not suitable to continue to stay in Tuscano, and asked his father to transfer him back to punish him as soon as possible! "The fifth prince, Dennis, who had just finished thinking behind closed doors for three months, fiercely sued Li Zijun on the first day of participating in court proceedings.

After the assassination of the sixth prince, Li Zijun has always been the fifth prince Dennis's biggest heart problem, especially after Li Zijun took over from him in charge of Ziqing affairs, he even regarded Li Zijun as his 'thorn in the flesh', and he must get rid of it quickly! For this reason, the fifth prince has been sending people to monitor Li Zijun's whereabouts.

A few days ago, the fifth prince's subordinates collected Li Zijun's actions in Ziqing and reported them to him. It's just that this information is not comprehensive, and many important 'puzzle pieces' have been missed, resulting in a slight deviation in the judgment of the fifth prince.

"Erchen has a slightly different opinion on the fifth brother's statement, of course, this is also because the fifth brother has not been to the court during this time, and it is inevitable that there will be some omissions. The sixth prince smiled slightly, and followed the fifth prince out of the queue.

"Oh, could it be that during my days off, 'taking bribes' has become a reasonable thing?"

"Of course not, Fifth Brother, you misunderstood, that's not what I mean by 'omission'!"

"Then what do you mean?" the fifth prince's face sank, and he looked at the sixth prince and asked.

"Fifth brother, do you know that every bribe that Ed received was recorded in detail and reported to his father?

"But even so, his move is tantamount to promoting the trend of bribery, and I think it is still undesirable!"

"Under normal circumstances, I also think that this move is not advisable! However, after all, we have just subdued Ziqing, and our first priority at present is to stabilize the situation in Ziqing, not to publicize our laws and policies to them. Although it is not worth advocating for Ed to take bribes, he has invisibly stabilized Ziqing's officials and Ziqing's situation. With this, I hope that he can collect more, because in this way, we can change the concept of Ziqing officials more quickly, and let them gradually become our Dongyu officials!"

"Then what do you say that he is pretending to be sick? He is obviously evading responsibility, and you won't turn a blind eye to it, right?"

Ed also explained this in his official documents. Why did he pretend to be sick, wasn't it because the Ziqing officials had to ask him for instructions in every detail?"

"It was decided that he could neither turn a blind eye to the official documents sent to him, nor reprimand the officials for their incompetence. Come to think of it, I really can't think of a better way to do that than to feign my illness!"

"Moreover, I think the result of this matter is also very gratifying, and the officials of Ziqing have taken on their responsibilities as a result, and Ziqing's affairs have not been delayed or put on hold, but have become smoother. I want to ask the fifth brother: What's wrong with this?"

"And what about his wandering around while in office? Doesn't that make sense to you?"

"What the fifth prince said is extremely true!" As soon as the fifth prince finished speaking, Prime Minister Alec stood up from the queue:

In the name of observing the people's feelings, Ed took the little girl around to play, and although the main responsibility for this matter lies with Amity, the little girl also has a certain responsibility as his wife. And this is all the old minister's goddaughter, please punish your majesty!" Alec bowed to the ground and pleaded guilty to Virgil.

"Ed has received my will to go and perceive the people's feelings, what does it have to do with the Prime Minister?

"However, Ed's kid is indeed a bit playful! Please send a letter to Winnie and ask her to remind Ed: Don't lose your mind as a plaything!"

"Yes!" Alec bowed deeply and retreated into the queue.

That's it?

Dennis peeked at his father, who was sitting on it, and then at Abraham and Alec, who had already returned to the queue, and his heart pounded.

"In addition, the Demon Gate is about to reopen, and Ed still has a lot to prepare, and he really doesn't have a good place to stay in Tuscano. Abraham, pack up and rush to Toscano as soon as possible to take over Ed's affairs. ”

"Yes, Father!"

"When you get to the place, you listen to Ed's opinion, it turns out that his set is very effective for Ziqing!"

"Yes, Erchen must learn from Ed, and do his best to ensure the stability of Ziqing's future!"

"You've always been cautious, and I'm not worried about anything, so what else do you need?"

"Father Xie, not for the time being!"

As it turns out, everything is not over, and Edlaide is coming back again! Not to order a recall, but to retire!

At this moment, the fifth prince saw the expectation in Virgil's eyes looking outward, which was his father's expectation for the imminent return of his most beloved wanderer!

The fifth prince's anger rushed directly to the sky, and the moment he lowered his head, a cold light flashed in his eyes!

And at this very moment, His Majesty Virgil inadvertently yawned. Lately, this seems to have become a habitual move of His Majesty Fergill, who yawns every time he retreats from the court.

For the others, His Majesty Fergil's action was meaningless, but I don't know why, just as I saw this scene, there was an imperceptible sneer on the corner of the fifth prince's mouth! )
