Along with the news of Emperor Zhaowen's harsh treatment of loyal ministers, Han Huaijin's poem "Fu on People's Livelihood" written during the academy competition also spread.

For a time, even three-year-old children in Luocheng could recite the two sentences: "Kings, princes, generals and ministers should think about the suffering of the people and spread virtue widely, so that the country can have a long-lasting fortune" and "The king should understand the people's feelings, reduce taxes and levies, and ensure the people's well-being."

Emperor Zhaowen was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and he wanted to maintain a million troops in Luocheng.

Because Li Jiren and Li Jixin made a fuss, he felt that one million was not enough and wanted to transfer another 500,000 soldiers from other prefectures.

But in order to support 1.5 million soldiers, he could only rack his brains to find ways to increase the treasury's income.

Light taxes and levies?

It's easy to say, but how can he support so many people?

No matter how furious Emperor Zhaowen was, Li Jiren and his party had already quickly left Luocheng.

Li Jiren and Li Jixin had been away from Jiyang for half a year. Although Princess Xie, Ji Siyuan and a group of generals were in charge, they were still eager to return home.

We definitely can't run fast with all those Jinshi scholars.

With the Empress Dowager in the team, they really couldn't bear to let her suffer any more.

Now that we have left Los Angeles, there is no need to rush on.

Li Jiren told others that he would return to Jiyang tomorrow.

Li Jixin could just take these Jinshi and their families back safely.

When the scholars, led by Guan Xueqin, heard that they didn't have to travel as hard tomorrow as they did today, they immediately felt that their lives were saved.

Although the Empress Dowager rushed to Ji Yang in a hurry, she also knew that she was old and her body could not bear it.

She had to do whatever Li Jiren arranged and not hold the children back.

Li Jiren walked to Ye Jianan. Ye Jianan didn't wait for him to speak, but just glanced at Han Qingyun's family who were reminiscing about the past with the Qian family.

"Don't worry, I can hold on. It's just Xiaoxi..."

Ye Jianan was going to treat King Lin, but now he couldn't hold a needle, so he had to let Han Huaixi go with him.

But Han Huaixi is too young.

It would take ten days to get from here to Prince Lin's Palace in Jiyang even if you ride at full speed.

Ji Yang's horses are running too fast, how can the child bear it?

Ye Jianan angrily pounded his right hand, but was stopped by Li Jiren.

Li Jiren walked over to Han Qingyun, and Qian Yunhao, who was crying, quickly wiped away his tears and stopped talking.

Although he was rescued by Prince Lin's Mansion, he could only save his family's lives by going to Ji Yang.

But after all, he had a grudge against Prince Lin's Mansion for killing his father, and he could not show weakness in front of his enemy.

Li Jiren squatted in front of Han Huaixi. Han Huaixi had already known from Ye Jianan that their trip was to save King Lin.

Just now, after hearing Li Jiren say that he was going back to Jiyang first, and seeing him go find his master, Han Huaixi guessed that his master must be going with Li Jiren.

She thought about her thighs and buttocks being rubbed so hard on the horse's back that they hurt, and tears started to fall before she could say anything.

"I'll go with you. I'm not afraid of getting tired. I..."

There was a hint of tears in Han Huaixi's tone, and she felt so pitiful.

Li Jiren hugged Han Huaixi and rubbed her hair: "Good girl."

Lu Yanyan looked at Han Huaixi and then at Han Qingyun.

Han Qingyun stepped forward.

"Sir, my wife and I will go with you."

Han Huaijin, Mu Chengkang, and Lu Changan also stood up: "I can ride a horse."

Li Jiren looked at the three children and loved them very much.

Especially the one named Mu Chengkang. Although his appearance was far less refined than Han Huaijin, and even not as handsome as Lu Changan, he was very likable. He felt like getting close to him as soon as he saw him.

Han Xigu and Yan Xuewen pinched themselves angrily. They couldn't ride horses, otherwise they could have gone with their second uncle/godfather and the others.

Han Huaiyu also wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Chen.

Han Huaiyu's riding skills were average, and she was too young, a little girl at that, so Chen was worried.

Brothers Han Dongchen, Zhao Xingye, Yan Dahu, Liu Yang and others also came.

Lu Youtian did not join in the fun. He was old and didn't want to suffer.

But his daughter was a delicate child, and the greatest hardship she had ever experienced was the hardship of fleeing. How could she ride a horse?

Lu Youtian's eyes turned red, but he was afraid of being scolded by his wife, so he secretly wiped away his tears.

Yu had no time to care about Lu Youtian. She couldn't help crying first, which scared Lu Youtian. He quickly hugged his wife and comforted her softly.

Finally, Han Qingyun made the decision. Except for Lu Liang and Zhao Xingwu, the others stayed with Chen and the others.

Han Huaijin, Mu Chengkang and Lu Changan wanted to say something more, but Han Qingyun glanced at them and the three children dared not speak anymore.

Han Qingyun went to find three girls: Ye Xinglin, Han Huaiyu and Han Mingzhu.

After asking the three girls about their wishes, he took Han Huaiyu, as well as seven half-grown boys, Han Huaijin, Han Huaian, Mu Chengkang, Han Xigu, Lu Changan, Yan Xuewen, and Qian Yunhao, to find Liu Minghe.

Liu Minghe had met Han Huaijin and the others a long time ago and was very satisfied with the children.

"Brother Qingyun, don't worry, leave these children to me."

That was Liu Minghe, who had been the most talented man in Luo City since he was a teenager. For decades, no one had surpassed him.

The eight children, their eyes shining, knelt on the ground in unison, shouting, "Master, please accept our disciples' greetings!"

Liu Minghe laughed out loud.

It is better to choose a day than to hit it.

Lu Youtian was so happy that he went crazy. He didn't care about the aching body from being shaken around, and found eight gifts to show his respect to his master.

Yan Hui and Butler Qian were even faster than him.

Zhao He and Han Dongchen also went to look for it in a hurry, but were stopped by Chen, who told them that everything was ready.

Sure enough, Lu Yanyan brought Yan Erhu and others and moved out a bunch of calligraphy and paintings, which were Lu Yanyan's dowry back then.

Liu Minghe looked at the pile of things in front of him and felt overwhelmed.

Gems, spices, pearls, white jade plates,

Gold, silver, porcelain, jade carvings, crystal cups...

Yan Hui, Butler Qian, and Lu Youtian touched their noses awkwardly.

They also know that it is tacky, but isn't this unprepared?

Liu Minghe finally accepted Lu Yanyan's calligraphy and paintings.

Hearing that it was a treasure of the Lu family, Liu Minghe couldn't help but take a look at Lu Youtian.

These calligraphy and paintings are so rare that even his Liu family may not be able to find some of them.

The Lu family's strength is even stronger than he imagined...

The next morning, Li Jiren set out with Han Qingyun and others, as well as two hundred cavalrymen.

The Empress Dowager gave up her own carriage.

The interior of the carriage was covered with thick cushions, so it wasn't that bumpy.

If the three members of the Han family and Ye Jianan can no longer ride horses, they can take a rest in the carriage.

Li Jiren put a cushion on the horse's back, put Han Huaixi on the cushion, and hugged her tightly.

When Han Huaixi was riding a horse yesterday, he felt some pain in his face from the wind.

I brought two masks today, one of which I covered over my eyes as an eye mask.

Li Jiren found it very funny.

Han Qingyun had learned horse riding in his previous life. His original body also learned it specially in order to go to the provincial capital for the exam, but his skills were not very good.

Li Jiren specially picked a docile horse for him and asked several personal guards to guard Han Qingyun to prevent anything from happening to him.

A female guard named Yangli was riding on the same horse as Lu Yanyan.

Yang Li also put a cushion under her immediately, but not long after, Lu Yanyan still felt that her thighs were starting to get hot.

She gritted her teeth and refused to say a word, cold sweat breaking out.

Yang Li also began to look at this seemingly weak woman with a new respect.

"Madam, bear with it or not, it will be fine in two days."

Lu Yanyan nodded.

By the time he dismounted to rest at noon, Han Qingyun himself felt a little exhausted, but at least he was able to dismount by himself.

Seeing his wife's pale face, Han Qingyun took her off the horse with heartache.

Lu Yanyan's legs were shaking so much that she could hardly stand, and Han Qingyun carried her to the carriage.
