In order to avoid being criticized again, Li Mu did not stay in Changle Palace for a long time after his return.
In this way, even if the Demon Sect still has spies in the palace, they will only feel that the Queen values him and often announces that he comes to Changle Palace to discuss national affairs, and will not spread rumors that he is having an affair with the Queen and that he is the face she keeps in the palace.
head.
In Li's house, Wanwan and Xiaobai were in front and behind. Li Mu was lying comfortably on the chair, enjoying the service of their little hands.
Even though he was comfortable, Li Mu still felt a little melancholy in his heart.
The house was too big, with countless rooms, but there were only three of them, and they only slept in one room and one bed. The huge five-entry mansion looked particularly deserted.
In general, the family lacks a mistress.
As soon as this thought came up, Li Mu's eyes flashed, and a figure appeared in the yard.
Xiaobai's eyes curled up and he said with a smile: "Sister Zhou, you are here..."
Wanwan stared at a box in the Queen's hand and asked curiously: "Sister Zhou, what are you holding in your hand?"
Zhou Wu handed her the box in her hand and said, "This is a new pastry developed by Yu Chu. It tastes pretty good. You can try it."
Wanwan couldn't care less about squeezing Li Mu's legs, so she and Xiaobai ran to the stone table with the box in hand, eager to try the new pastry developed by the imperial chef.
Li Mu, who didn't react, was still lying on the chair in a comfortable posture. Zhou Wu glanced at him lightly and asked: "Are you waiting for me to beat your legs and squeeze your shoulders?"
The Queen stood, and Li Mu dared not lie down, so she immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, please..."
When the Queen lay down where he had just been lying, Li Mu realized that their position was inappropriate.
The Queen is standing, and he cannot lie down, otherwise it will be as if he is waiting for the Queen to serve him.
But while the queen was lying down and he was standing, some things were clearly visible from a bird's eye view, and Li Mu didn't even dare to lower his head.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Li Mu's mind, and he walked behind the Queen and said, "Your Majesty's shoulders are a little sore, why don't you give your Majesty a touch? The way I touch your shoulders is okay..."
Zhou Wu said lightly: "You must have been familiar with laying hands on that vixen when you were in the Thousand Fox Kingdom. I never saw you being so attentive to me in the palace before. I didn't expect that one of my ministers would actually ask for a vixen."
Training..."
Li Mu was startled, and a flash of light flashed through his heart.
The Queen was obviously jealous of Fan Ji. When he was in Changle Palace just now, he only wanted to come back to Wanwan and Xiaobai, but he didn't realize that it was the Queen's hint to him.
This was not the first time that Li Mu noticed that the Queen had a strong possessive desire for him.
This is not to say that the Queen fell in love with him. It is human nature to be possessive. She is not only possessive of Li Mu, but Li Mu also has this desire for her.
If nothing else, if the Queen one day has another favorite and treats him as well as she does, Li Mu will not feel comfortable at all.
Li Mu secretly pinched himself. Fortunately, he woke up early. If he persisted until night, he would inevitably be beaten in his sleep.
Zhou Wu looks quite majestic, but she is actually a smaller woman than anyone else.
She never said what was in her heart, but let Li Mu guess it by herself. If she guessed correctly, everyone would be happy. If she guessed wrong, she would vent her anger in her dream.
It must be because she didn't enjoy Fan Ji's treatment, and her tone of voice sounded like she had drank a whole can of vinegar.
Li Mu took the initiative to put his hands on her shoulders, kneading here and squeezing there, and finally calmed her down, lying there comfortably, and began to close her eyes to rest, and stopped talking.
At a certain moment, Li Mu said softly: "There is an important matter that I would like to discuss with His Majesty."
Zhou Wu closed her eyes and said, "Say it."
Li Mu organized his words and said: "This time I went undercover in the Thousand Fox Kingdom and discovered something. The reason why most monsters hate the Great Zhou and humans is because of the injustice between the humans and monsters in the Great Zhou. The monsters harm
Humans will be exterminated by the imperial court, but humans can hunt and kill monsters at will, take souls and demon pills, and even do more cruel things to monsters. This is actually the source of the conflict between humans and monsters. If you want to improve the relationship between humans and monsters,
The only way to promote stability in various counties is through court legislation..."
Zhou Wu still closed her eyes and said: "Most of the courtiers and even the people have irrevocable prejudices against monsters, and many people will oppose this matter."
Li Mudao: "I believe that the people in the thirty-six counties are the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The demons who abide by the laws and disciplines in the Great Zhou Dynasty are also the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although the number of demons is not as large as that of the common people, they can give birth to spiritual intelligence or spiritual intelligence.
Those who transform have cultivation in their bodies, and the telekinesis they generate is far greater than that of the common people. If all the demons return to their hearts in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they will gather the imperial energy faster, and Your Majesty will be able to escape as soon as possible."
Zhou Wu's eyes suddenly opened, her eyes flickered, and she said: "Since you think it is right, then go ahead and do it boldly, I will always be behind you..."
…
Early morning.
An official spat: "It's ridiculous, it's simply ridiculous. What does the life and death of monsters have to do with the imperial court? The imperial court is the court of the people, not the imperial court of monsters. If they even have to take care of the affairs of the monster clan, then the local government will have to be busy.
What’s going on? How many practitioners make a living by killing demons? If so, wouldn’t the imperial court be the enemy of those practitioners?”
A different voice said: "Master Yan, what you said is wrong. In this way, the hatred of the monsters towards the imperial court will definitely be reduced a lot, which will help ease the conflict between the human and monster clans."
"I agree, humans and monsters are all living beings. If the monsters are willing to abide by the law, Da Zhou may not be unable to accept them."
"We, the Great Zhou Dynasty, must have the mind of the Heavenly Dynasty."
Another official stood up and said, "Master Yan is right. Counties can't even take care of their own affairs, so how can they have the time to take care of them?"
Others echoed: "It is simply a big joke in the world. Our human court makes the decision for the demon clan. What will the demon clan think of us? What will Shen Guo and Yong Guo think of us? We, the Great Zhou Dynasty, will become a joke to all the countries!"
"The imperial court's protection of the demon clan is unprecedented!"
"I object!"
"I also object to it!"

Once this issue was raised, it aroused strong repercussions in the court. Although a few officials initially agreed, they were quickly drowned out by opposition.
Some officials even stood up and asked: "Whose proposal is this? Stand up and let everyone see!"
Li Mu walked out slowly and said, "It's me."
As he walked out, the voices of discussion in the court gradually became quieter, and finally disappeared completely, and you could hear a pin drop.
Although Li Mu often did not go to court for several months, no one dared not to take him seriously.
The old and new parties combined were defeated at the hands of Li Mu. The academy students were arrogant for a while, but now they are as obedient as sheep. Even the Zhou family and the Xiao family, after successive defeats, have to avoid his edge and dare not confront Li Mu head-on.
The official who asked Li Mu to stand up just now stood there, completely stunned.
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
It’s over!
Unexpectedly, the person he attacked was actually Li Mu. After going to court, he would definitely suffer revenge from this powerful minister of Zhou Dynasty. The beautiful concubine he had just married might not be able to sleep for a few nights. He had just lived in a new house for a year.
After your home is confiscated, it will become someone else’s...
He was afraid that he would have to sleep in the cemetery with excellent feng shui that he had favored for his old father in his hometown of Nan County...
A moment later, the official wiped the cold sweat from his head and said seriously: "Master Li's proposal is really great. This move can not only ease the conflict between the human and demon clans, stabilize the counties, but also invisibly divide the demons.
The admiration of the lower officials for Mr. Li in the country is like a surging river, endless, and like a river overflowing, it is out of control. Having Mr. Li in the court is actually a blessing to the Great Zhou Dynasty and a blessing to the people..."
Another official who objected looked at this person with disdain, stood up in stride, and said indignantly: "Yaozu, what's wrong with Yaozu? Yaozu is also the son of father and mother. As long as they are in my Dazhou, they will be my Dazhou."
My people, I have long disliked those practitioners with evil intentions!"
"Uniting the demon clan can enhance the national power of the Great Zhou Dynasty..."
"It is strongly recommended that the enshrinement department recruit some strong demon clan members, and that local yamen should also eliminate discrimination and give full play to the role of demons, and use demons to control demons. This can greatly reduce the pressure on local yamen to govern their jurisdictions..."
"The Ministry of Household Affairs can naturalize these monsters for the sake of the monster people. The monster people are also the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty and are protected by the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They also have to shoulder the responsibility of protecting their homes and the country..."
…
At some point, the officials in the court no longer opposed this matter, but began to make suggestions for its implementation.
After brainstorming and discussing for a while, everyone unexpectedly discovered that the benefits of uniting the demon clan seemed to far outweigh the disadvantages, and would even create a new pattern unprecedented since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty...
