The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

Li Jixin's words spread faster than the news of the ring match.

People in Luo City who had originally been critical of Prince Lin because of the events in Wuping County suddenly began to understand him, and they began to miss his former demeanor.

Emperor Zhaowen had been on the throne for more than three years. On the surface, everything was still the same as when the previous emperor was alive, but only ordinary people at the bottom of society could sensitively feel the difference.

The tax they had to pay was still 10% on the surface, but the scales and measures used to collect the grain tax were different. In addition to the original business tax, merchants also had to pay land occupation fees and security fees.

When they were bullied, they could no longer go to the government office to file a complaint at any time like before. Now, those who had no official title would be beaten with a stick before going to the government office.

They watched as those powerful people grew more powerful and wealthy, while their own lives became increasingly difficult...

Many things cannot be thought about too much, let alone compared. These changes did not happen overnight, but were made bit by bit over the past three years, allowing them to gradually get used to the process and ignore the changes.

But Li Jixin's words were like a club hitting them on the head. In fact, they were only slightly better than the people of Ji Yang.

When the late emperor was still alive, their lives were so good, and there was also Prince Lin, what a good person Prince Lin was...

After Emperor Zhaowen once again beat the eunuchs and palace maids to vent his anger, he went to Kunning Palace in a huff.

Queen Ruan Xinyu is a very beautiful woman. As she approaches middle age, her beauty, which was once the most beautiful woman in the capital, has not diminished. Instead, her charm has become even more beautiful.

Ruan Xinyu was better informed than Emperor Zhaowen. When he saw Emperor Zhaowen coming, he bowed slightly.

When Emperor Zhaowen saw her, he felt much relieved and hurried forward to help her up.

"Your Majesty, are you still angry about Li Jixin?"

Ruan Xinyu's voice is so light and moving that people can't help but indulge in it.

"Humph, Shen Meng doesn't know how to do things. He actually let Li Jixin say so much."

Emperor Zhaowen had Shen Meng beaten with thirty sticks today. Thinking about it now, he felt that this punishment was too light.

Ruan Xinyu's eyes flickered.

"This can't be blamed on Commander Shen. Who could have imagined that Li Jixin would take the initiative and disrupt the Emperor's plan?"

Emperor Zhaowen had already found someone to accuse Prince Lin of his warmongering abroad and killing people at home in front of the arena, so that the people of Luocheng could see Prince Lin's hateful face. However, Li Jixin's words actually won the sympathy of many people, which made him very angry.

Ruan Xinyu looked at Emperor Zhaowen's ever-changing face, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, but quickly disappeared.

Emperor Zhaowen raised his head and saw Ruan Xinyu's beautiful eyes staring at him with affection. His heart softened and he held Ruan Xinyu's hand.

"Xinyu, you are the only one in this world who understands me best. It's a shame that people are so ignorant that they actually think that butcher Li Zhaoying is a good person."

Ruan Xinyu pulled out her hands that were held by Emperor Zhaowen, turned behind Emperor Zhaowen, and placed her soft hands on his shoulders, rubbing them gently.

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. The evidence is irrefutable that Prince Lin massacred the people of Wuping County. He can't deny it. These people are just fence-sitters. They have been deceived by Li Jixin in the past few days. If we use them well, they can also be used for our own benefit."

"They are just a bunch of lowly people. I don't even take them seriously. Even if they were bewitched by Li Jixin, would they dare to rebel against me?"

A hint of mockery and disdain flashed in Ruan Xinyu's eyes again, but her voice was still sweet and moving.

"It's good that Your Majesty isn't angry about them. However, Li Zhaoying and Li Jiren are already extremely difficult to deal with, and this Li Jixin is so domineering and difficult to deal with. It is said that his fighting skills are no less than his father and brother. If you let him out of the city this time, he will be a great worry for Your Majesty in the future."

How could Emperor Zhaowen not know this? Moreover, compared to Li Zhaoying and Li Jiren, Li Jixin was even more of a thorn in his side.

If one day, the court officials and the people knew that Li Jixin was...

He was originally worried about being retaliated by Li Jiren, so he just wanted to have Li Jixin crippled and spare his life, but now he just wanted Li Jixin to die.

"Xinyu, I certainly want to kill Li Jixin right away. But Li Jiren and that bastard, the Second Brother, are about to reach Luocheng. If Li Jixin really gets into trouble in the city... you know how protective the eldest brother's family is. Li Jiren will definitely storm into the city regardless."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Li Jixin agreed to the fight himself. A warrior has a warrior's spirit. If he dies in the ring, no one can blame Your Majesty."

"But……"

"Your Majesty, thunder and lightning, rain and dew are all manifestations of your grace. Li Jixin, the son of a rebel king, actually had the audacity to claim whoever he wanted to take away. Your Majesty has already shown your great grace by not ordering his death on the spot. This ring match is nothing more than a favor to him. If he dies in the ring, it will be his own fault. Isn't that right, Your Majesty?"

The senior palace maid beside Ruan Xinyu changed the incense burner, and the smoke curled up, emitting an intoxicating fragrance.

Smelling this soothing fragrance, Emperor Zhaowen felt a little relaxed, but Ruan Xinyu shed tears.

Emperor Zhaowen asked nervously, "Xinyu, why are you crying?"

"I feel sorry for the Emperor. He is the supreme ruler, yet he has to consider so many things. A young boy dared to trample on the Emperor's face. If he is not taught a lesson, the people of the world will laugh at the Emperor..."

Ruan Xinyu cried bitterly, and Emperor Zhaowen felt both distressed and angry, but he finally made up his mind.

"Xinyu, stop crying. I am the emperor, and you are the queen. If anyone in this world makes us unhappy, we will kill him."

"But I heard that Li Jixin's martial arts skills are extremely high, and ordinary people can't do anything to him. What's more, the two hundred guards around him are also extraordinary in skills."

"Xinyu, how many people can Kong Haibo produce?"

"As soon as Li Jixin arrived in Luocheng, I sent someone to look for Kong Haibo. But now the people under Kong Haibo are becoming increasingly difficult to control."

"These greedy bastards, Kong Haibo is also a waste!"

Emperor Zhaowen felt that being an emperor was really frustrating.

Before he became emperor, he could still afford to support this group of people, but after he became emperor, he could no longer afford it.

The national treasury was empty, and his inner treasury was not rich either. Even this was accumulated after he ascended the throne. Before his father died, there were not many things in the inner treasury.

Emperor Zhaowen was so angry that he slammed the table. It was obvious that Dayu was a country with abundant resources and a prosperous people, but every time he proposed to increase taxes, those old stubborn people would talk about how things would have been when the previous emperor was alive.

"Your Majesty, I still have 10,000 taels of silver, but Kong Haibo wants 30,000 taels..."

Emperor Zhaowen was furious.

But he also knew that the organization was initially built on a windfall.

These people are all desperate criminals who only care about money and not people.

In recent years, his own life has not been so affluent, and the money he gives to Kong Haibo has been getting less and less. The 30,000 taels are to make up for the previous shortfall, otherwise Kong Haibo will not be able to control that group of people.

Once everything is settled in the future, he will definitely make these vampires vomit out all the blood.

"Xinyu, I will find a way to get the other 20,000 taels. It would be great if we could make another fortune." Emperor Zhaowen felt a little regretful.

"Your Majesty, please be at ease. Once all the serious concerns are resolved, everything will be fine."

Ruan Xinyu's technique was excellent, and she made Emperor Zhaowen feel very comfortable. Her voice was so tender and soft that Emperor Zhaowen was already aroused...

The disgust in Ruan Xinyu's eyes grew stronger. After scrubbing her hands vigorously, she waited quietly.

After Emperor Zhaowen was satisfied with the service, Ruan Xinyu had the two beautiful women sent away and sat next to Emperor Zhaowen.

Of the two women who left, one of them looked 70% similar to Ruan Xinyu...
