As expected, Xu Ji left Chang'an for less than a month to inspect the local prefectures, and many things began to spread.

Some people say that Xu Ji had deposed three prefecture masters and four county magistrates, two of whom were directly beheaded after less than a month of travel.

Some people in the army have begun to be dissatisfied because the people below are asking for help and saying that Xu Ji is indeed too much.

Someone tentatively asked Mr. Yan to say this before His Majesty. No matter who Mr. Yan was to the same answer.

If the person who Xu Ji handles should do it, then I dare not speak in front of His Majesty. If the person who Xu Ji handles should not do it, His Majesty will naturally have an explanation when he comes back.

If someone is asking for something urgent, Mr. Yan will probably say one more thing... If you think Xu Ji is unfair, then when Xu Ji comes back, confront him in front of His Majesty.

As a result, the story of Xu Ji being the most powerful official in Daning became more and more evil.

Li Chi didn't seem to care. No matter how dissatisfied the people below were or how much trouble, the Censorate was quiet.

These censors who used to hold Xu Ji's braids and keep talking neatly this time.

In fact, this is enough to show one thing, that is, what Xu Ji did is reasonable.

If the Censorate holds Xu Ji at this time, the Censors themselves will feel that it is inappropriate, just like their upright reputation.

In early autumn, the Western Xinjiang sent memorials, saying that the Western Regions countries united and asked His Majesty Emperor Daning to allow them to come and meet.

The letter of nationality also comes with a thick ritual policy. All countries should present any gifts to Emperor Daning. They are clearly written on it.

After reading it, the officials of the Ministry of Rites felt that there was no problem, so they asked His Majesty to approve it, whether to let them come or not.

However, officials of the Ministry of Rites believe that it is better to let the envoys come to Chang'an, as the country above the heavens should have the demeanor of the heavens.

The memorial from the Ministry of Rites was in Li Chi's hands. After reading it, Li Chi thought it was feasible. Although the countries in the Western Regions were annoying, they all had wolfish ambitions.

But Daning cannot be closed to the country, so what should we do if we trade with the Western Regions?

Originally, Li Chi was ready to approve this memorial, but suddenly he wanted to see what was on the gift list.

This gift list is really thick. After all, it is a matter of dozens of countries. The words on it are dazzling just by looking at it.

After taking a few glances, Li Chi suddenly lost interest, and then brought the memorial from the Ministry of Rites and criticized the two words Zhu Biyu.

Not accurate.

It turned out that Lord Lian Xiwu Lian, the important official in Jizhou and in charge of the construction of Daxing City, is now the Minister of Rites.

After hearing that His Majesty was not allowed, he knew that things were not that simple, so he hurried to the East Warehouse to seek entry.

Li Chi asked Ye Xiaoqian to invite Lord Lian in, and also made tea for Lord Lian himself.

"His Majesty......"

Lian Xiwu asked carefully: "The countries in the Western Regions want to come to Chang'an to meet His Majesty, but what's wrong?"

Li Chi smiled and said, "They want to come to Chang'an because the city gate of Xijiang is closed and no one can do business anymore, so this idea came up with it, saying that they are here to meet, but I don't like the little thoughts in it."

Lian Xiwu leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, I really haven't seen anything wrong with this letter of the country. I ask Your Majesty to make it clear that if there is such a thing in the future, I can also be alert."

Li Chi pointed to the gift list and said, "What's the problem with the letter of the country? It's just a pile of some verbal flattery. The problem lies in the gift list."

Lian Xiwu quickly picked up the gift list again. Seeing him so frightened, Li Chi smiled.

"Stop looking, you can't see any problems."

Li Chi said: "You have never been to Daxing City, so you can't see the disgusting places on this gift list."

After sitting down, he continued, "I have seen such a gift list in the palace of the previous dynasty of Daxing City. It was the gift list brought by the Western Regions when Yang Jing ascended the throne and became emperor."

Li Chi pointed to the part in Lian Xiwu's hand again: "No matter the specification, quantity, or the value of the gifts tribute, they are lower than Yang Jing's ascension to the throne. If this was not done by people from those small countries in the Western Regions, I would not believe it."

Lian Xiwu was shocked. His Majesty said this matter was calm but it was really not a trivial matter.

If His Majesty hadn't seen it personally, the Western Regions received a reply saying that they could come to Chang'an, they might have laughed out loud.

His Majesty, who can mock Daning, is really worthless, and is not as good as the fallen emperor of the Chu State in the previous dynasty.

Lian Xiwu raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, leaned over and said, "I really don't know that this is different, but I am guilty. Since I am the Minister of Rites, I should investigate this matter more carefully. I have not investigated the relevant records of the previous dynasty. I have committed the crime of slackness and slackness. Please punish Your Majesty."

After saying that, he would kneel down.

Li Chi quickly pulled him up: "I have said that you have never seen that gift list, so naturally I don't understand the difference. Isn't it your fault for this?"

Li Chi smiled and said, "Just follow my approval. Those stubborn and small countries in the Western Regions have to be scheming in such matters. Then let them play outside the pass, don't think about it if you come to Daning."

Lian Xiwu leaned over and said, "I obey the order, and I will write a reply to them when I go back."

Li Chi said: "Don't write so much..."

After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said to Lian Xiwu, "Just reply to them and tell them that they don't need to see me. If I think they will go to the Western Regions to see them."

These words made Lian Xiwu laugh, and it was hard to laugh directly, so he quickly leaned over to cover it up.

He said goodbye from the East Warehouse. Not long after he walked, he saw Mr. Yan coming to the East Warehouse with a stack of memorials.

When the two met, Lian Xiwu saluted Mr. Yan, and Mr. Yan chatted with him for a few words.

Lian Xiwu couldn't hide her surprise and curiosity, and lowered her voice and said to Mr. Yan: "Your Majesty is a real god."

Mr. Yan was puzzled and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"

Lian Xiwu said: "Your Majesty has only seen the gift lists from the Western Regions countries in the imperial palace in the front dynasty of Daxing City. It is obvious that the gift lists delivered to us this time are different. Such a long gift list, Your Majesty's ability to remember everything is really admirable."

Mr. Yan laughed with a thunderous sound, looked around, and then lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty is certainly unforgettable. In Daxing City, Your Majesty asked someone to check this gift list one by one. These things are worth a lot of money."

"The imperial palace in Daxing City has been broken by bandits, and many of them have been lost. Of course, the bandits will not keep these treasures, but will sell them at a low price."

"Your Majesty carefully checked the whereabouts of these things. There was indeed a part of the rich families in Chang'an City who were timid and handed over it directly. When the valiant was a little more courageous, the magistrate came to the door and asked, and he hurriedly handed over it as soon as he could."

"At that time, we were short of money, military funds, food and grass, and there were too many things we lacked. His Majesty personally identified the winter breaks collected and personally slapped them to the wealthy families in Daxing City."

Lian Xiwu really didn't know about this, and after listening to it, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and laughed.

Mr. Yan sighed: "A part of the military expenditure before the attack on Shuzhou came here like this. You said that Your Majesty will never forget it. Can you go there? How much money is determined by Your Majesty himself..."

Lian Xiwu smiled and said, "In this way, Your Majesty is really a god."

Mr. Yan smiled and said, "People in the Western Regions like to be careful and dare to disgust people in this matter. You can't do anything bad. Your Majesty is unhappy, so you must be tough."

Lian Xiwu said: "I understand, thank you for your reminder."

The two chatted for a few more times before they separated. Mr. Yan carried a stack of memorials into the East Warehouse.

"His Majesty."

Seeing Li Chi watering the wild flowers on the table, Mr. Yan called out softly.

The last time he and His Majesty tidied up the little round zi, His Majesty said that the flowers had already bloomed, and it was not good to be destroyed like this, so he dug them down and planted them into a pot. The little flowers bloomed more colorfully in the past two days.

"But I'm tired."

Mr. Yan smiled and said, "I have been carrying this stack of memorials back and forth three times, and my legs are a little sore."

Li Chi laughed: "Mr. I look really tired. The person watching outside probably can't tell that Mr. is doing a show."

These memorials have been approved by Li Chi long ago, just to show off and let people outside see how embarrassed Mr. Yan is.

Li Chi took the scissors and trimmed the branches and leaves of the wild flowers: "There are people in the palace who are so brave to send messages to Xu Ji, so I will let them go a few more trips. They are much tired of running than the teacher, after all, Xu Ji has already walked so far."

Mr. Yan said: "Some people may just take some money and think that money is heavier than the rules."

Li Chi nodded: "Mr. I have to continue to perform this drama, and I have to continue to perform it, and it doesn't take one or two days."

He said this and looked at Mr. Yan and smiled, "When Xu Ji comes back, you don't have to work hard to act, so you can go to Jizhou to relax."

When saying this, Li Chi signaled Mr. Yan to get closer.

Mr. Yan hurried forward.

Li Chi lowered his voice and said, "There is still someone in Cao Lie. Xu Ji should have been looking for him all the time. He still has to keep this person. Just take him to Jizhou after turning back."

Mr. Yan leaned over and said, "I understand."

Li Chi asked: "How is Lu Chonglou recently?"

Mr. Yan said: "Your Majesty is not trying to ask Lu Chonglou, but those who have the idea of ​​beating Lu Chonglou, right?"

Li Chi nodded: "Although I want to act, there are some scenes that I cannot let go. If you want to move Lu Chonglou, just cut it off, just cut it carefully."

Mr. Yan leaned over and said, "I will make arrangements."

Li Chi said: "If Jia Ruan and Zhen Gen and others go to do it, they may feel bored these days."

Mr. Yan smiled: "They are a bit overused when they come to do this."

Li Chi also smiled: "By the way, let Yu Jiuling go too, and he told me that he was bored two days ago."

Mr. Yan lowered his voice and asked, "So this matter is done secretly?"

Li Chi said: "They have to do things secretly, and of course they have to do things secretly. Do they still dare to make a name for themselves?"
