However, it is obviously useless to blame Mu Kangxun for this matter. After all, this was an order issued by Concubine Yang Shu, and he dared not refuse to obey.

At this moment, Zhao Dongting just held back his anger and said, "Don't forget to tell me about this in the future!"

Mu Kangxun saw sweat on his forehead and quickly responded to it with timidity.

Zhao Dongting frowned slightly and said, "After the court dispersed, you will immediately release the nobles from prison. You must comfort them with kind words and not make them angry. Regardless of whether they have anything to do with the assassination, we cannot take anyone casually without conclusive evidence."

Mu Kangxun was full of bitterness, but he could only nod and respond.

It was also frustrating to think that he was the magistrate of Leizhou Prefecture, but he wanted to apologize to the local nobles. But what could he do when Zhao Dongting spoke?

After Zhao Dongting explained this, he looked around the ministers in the hall, "Do you all have something to report?"

No one answered.

These days, the work of various departments and departments has been on track, so naturally, I was not so stupid that I would come to report to Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting waited for a few seconds, and saw that no one was talking, he said to Xiang Dongyang: "Bachelor Xiang, then please tell me your thoughts on the tax reduction and exemption of land distribution system!"

"yes."

He bowed to Zhao Dongting to Dongting.

Then he faced the ministers and slowly told his idea of ​​reducing taxes at levels.

He was neither anxious nor slow, his expression was calm, and he was quite like a hermit.

The ministers were a little dissatisfied at first, but as they listened, their faces became more and more surprised. In the end, many people showed a look of surprise.

Xiang Dongyang’s idea is definitely not something that ordinary people can think of.

At this moment, they no longer dared to underestimate Xiang Dongyang.

Tax reduction and exemption at the level and subsidies are issued, which may really eliminate the resistance of the nobles to the land distribution system.

Lu Xiufu was full of surprise and said, "Xiang's students have unique insights. I think we can't think about what we can. If Xiang Jushi has nothing to do after the court is gone, can you sit in our house? I am willing to listen to Xiang Jushi's opinions on various government affairs at a glance."

Xiang Dongyang bowed and smiled, "It is better to obey orders as invited by the State Order."

He inferred Lu Xiufu's identity from Lu Xiufu's official robe. He also admired Lu Xiufu, a famous official in the folk.

Later, several officials from the State Council took the initiative to say that they would visit Lu Xiufu's mansion and discuss political affairs.

Zhao Dongting was naturally happy when he saw this scene. What the court needed was such an atmosphere, rather than fighting each other like before.

Immediately afterwards, seeing that the ministers were fine, he asked Li Yuanxiu to announce his dispersion.

The overall situation of Leizhou Prefecture was decided, and he, the emperor, could finally be a little relaxed.

Back in the bedroom, Ying Er and Le Wu were watering the flowers and plants in the yard.

Zhao Dongting originally wanted to go to Yang Shufei's palace to talk about the detention of the nobles, but he still gave up. He knew that Yang Shufei did this because he was so sad and angry that he did not want to make Yang Shufei sad for this matter.

When he was free, he asked Li Yuanxiu to teach him some basic martial arts skills in this academy.

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 who can't see the head and the tail.

Li Yuanxiu is definitely a martial arts genius. No one taught him in the palace, but he forced his martial arts to such an extent.

With his teachings, Zhao Dongting felt that his path in martial arts might not be unable to achieve success.

Of course, Li Yuanxiu's martial arts are so superb, which is also related to his focus. Anyone who concentrates on everything will achieve success.

Zhao Dongting also knew in his heart that there were too many trivial things, and it would be difficult to reach Li Yuanxiu's level.

But this did not reduce 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 yard.

Zhao Dongting only practiced internal skills before, but never practiced stylistic skills. Now, he is naturally awkward to beginners, which makes Ying Er and Li Wu laugh repeatedly.

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

At noon, Zhao Dongting was taking a nap in the bedroom. The guards outside the door suddenly reported, "Emperor, General Liu, the Huanglong Imperial Guard, asked for a meeting!"

"Is Liu Hongyi back now?"

Zhao Dongting was slightly confused. He opened the door and walked out. He only saw Liu Hongyi kneeling outside with a shameless face, not even taking off his armor.

He obviously just came back from the army and came straight into the palace before he could even get home.

Zhao Dongting felt something bad in his heart and said, "General Liu, get up first, what happened?"

Liu Hongyi knelt down and said, "The last general's expedition is unfavorable. He failed to wipe out the pirates. Please punish the emperor."

Zhao Dongting went up and pulled him up and said, "It's not good to go to the expedition? Let's talk about what's going on in detail."

Liu Hongyi looked aggrieved and embarrassed, "The General of the Mok led the army to various islands near Leizhou Prefecture to wipe out the pirates, but the thieves actually fled. The General of the Mok... The General of the Mok led the army, but could not touch their whereabouts. For three days, even the pirates had almost never seen the shadows."

Zhao Dongting couldn't help but be stunned, and then sighed: "The pirate cunning rabbit has three holes and is familiar with the sea area. You can't blame General Liu."

His words made Liu Hongyi even more ashamed. He felt that he had lost his trust from Zhao Dongting.

Moreover, what embarrassed him was that he was the one who asked to wipe out the pirates in the Political Consultative Hall.

At this time, Zhao Dongting said again: "In this way, General Liu, please go back and rest first. After dinner, you will come to my bedroom and call General Su, General Yue and others. I will discuss the matter of destroying pirates in detail. Those pirates are extremely cunning and are in a hurry to encircle them. I am afraid that all our soldiers will go to the sea, which will be useless."

Zhao Dongting had never fought with the pirates, but he could also guess that it would be difficult to deal with those pirates who could rage overseas in Leizhou Prefecture for so long.

At the beginning, I thought this matter too simple.

Liu Hongyi nodded with shame, "I will obey the order."

After saying that, he was about to leave.

“By the way.”

Zhao Dongting suddenly remembered something and asked, "General Liu, what's wrong with me?"

Liu Hongyi said: "I will go to wipe out the pirates this time, but have not contacted those spies yet. When I get in touch with them, I will report back to the Lord."

"good."

Zhao Dongting nodded.

At night, the coolness suddenly came.

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

After seeing the etiquette, the monarch and ministers began to discuss how to wipe out pirates in Zhao Dongting's bedroom.

Now that the layered tax reduction and tax exemption policy is about to be introduced, the general situation of Leizhou Prefecture's development has been decided, and only these pirates will still obstruct it.

But what they didn't know was that on that night, pirates attacked Suixi County, near the sea of ​​Leizhou Prefecture.

Hundreds of small boats floated from the sea in the dark and landed secretly. Hundreds of pirates were familiar with the road and headed towards a village outside Suixi County.

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

And these villages usually have no soldiers to guard them.

But this time, they touched the outside of the village and had not had time to go in to burn, kill and loot, but a group of people suddenly came out of the mountains and forests next to them.

The pirates were shocked, and then they saw that these people were not wearing military uniforms and thought they were friends. The pirate leader asked, "Who are you?"

There were only nearly a hundred people who emerged from the mountains and forests, but they were all holding weapons. The leader was a young man, handsome and handsome. He held a long sword with a flashing cold light in his hand and sneered: "We are the people of Xiulin Castle, here to take the lives of you thieves!"

"Xiulin Castle?"

Many pirates' faces changed drastically. The pirate leader, who was holding a steel fork, said fiercely: "We have nothing to do with you Xiulin Castle. What are you doing in your care about your little things? Could it be that you have become a lackey of the court?"

But the young man said quietly: "It is because you have no connection that you deserve to die..."

As he said that, he raised his arms and waved his sword, and without saying anything more, he rushed towards the pirate gang first.

Judging from his steps, he was brisk and elegant, and his attainment of light skills was obviously extraordinary.

The nearly a hundred people behind him, wearing weapons and cloth clothes, rushed towards the pirates, shouting loudly, and they were all full of energy, and they were all very Jianjiazi.

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

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

In fact, it doesn’t take him to say that the name “Siolin Castle” alone has already scared many pirates.

Xiulin Castle is indeed the best in the world in Leizhou Prefecture.

Seeing the pirates fleeing in panic, the young man led by Xiulin Castle sneered, chased after him and stabbed a pirate in a cold heart, shouting loudly: "Don't let these thieves go! Kill!"

The people he brought were all very skilled in martial arts. When he chased the generals, he actually killed the pirates under his command like chopping melons and vegetables.

There are also Jian Jiazi among the pirates, but in front of them, they can't resist a few moves. Occasionally, some of them are slightly powerful, and they are also besieged and killed.

They can't kill even if they kill, and they can't win if they run away. They screamed in pain, and they were all over the sky.

When the villagers in the village heard the noise, they soon ran out. Men, women, young, old, weak, women and children all held kitchen knives, hoes and other things. Although they looked a little scared on their faces, they were filled with indignation.

The villages along the coast of Leizhou Prefecture are often attacked by pirates, which has long made them hate these pirates.

But before they rushed forward, they heard the young man from Xiulin Castle shouting: "The fight is dangerous, don't come here."

While speaking, he also used his long sword to cut the throats of the two pirates one after another.

The pirate leader was furious as he watched his brothers being killed one after another, and could no longer bear it. He gritted his teeth and ran back with a steel fork, "Brothers, fight with them!"

The young man sneered, kicked two pirates blocking the way, and greeted the pirate leader.
