"The long wind is dashing, and the journey is long...... Covered with the general Xiao Mo, thousands of miles to resist the Liao army. forced Zhongjing and the thief was killed, and he retreated with his majesty. Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are fixed, and the world changes color in the first war......"

After recalling Li Zhun's resignation for a long time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned.

After a long time, Zhao Ziji asked in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, I heard you right, right?" The general really captured Zhongjing with a thousand cavalry, and then forced the Liao Emperor Yelu Aluhan to death, and defeated the hundreds of thousands of troops of Meng Gongzuo, the first general at that time? ”

Hearing Zhao Ziji's question, even the old eunuch who had just read the song was frightened, and then coughed suddenly.

Zhao Ziji saw it and asked, "What's the alarm?" ”

The old eunuch replied: "Back to the emperor, the old slave heard about the miracle of the general, and he couldn't help himself...... Please also ask the emperor to forgive the sin! ”

Zhao Ziji's heart was happy now, so he said: "That's it, I still have to discuss with the ministers, you step down!" ”

The old eunuch said yes, and then was about to turn around and leave, but he didn't expect that his legs were already weak, so he fell down the main hall prostrately, causing Zhao Ziji to shake his head and smile: "It is worthy of being a general, and this residual power can also scare the old eunuch into such an ugly state!" ”

Then Ji Ping stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the general is really a strange person who has never been seen in the ages, this thousand horsemen rushed to attack the capital of the enemy country, and killed the emperor of the enemy country and then retreated, and defeated the hundreds of thousands of Liao iron cavalry led by the world's first general, such a battle can be said to be unprecedented!" ”

Cao Gang was also shocked, and sighed with admiration: "I think that at the beginning, when I first heard the name of the general, I waited for the government and the opposition to have another talented person in the future, but I didn't want the general's achievements now, I am afraid that it will be difficult to match it for the rest of my life!" ”

Hearing that the ministers praised Xiao Mo, Zhao Ziji's reaction was different from his Lao Tzu.

If Zhao Quan was still in power, he would definitely be a little dissatisfied now, because he felt that Xiao Mo's prestige was a threat to him.

But Zhao Ziji didn't feel like this, he was happy for Xiao Mo!

Happy is happy, but Zhao Ziji can only be happy, because Zhao Quan said before his death that Xiao Mo can no longer be rewarded, so Zhao Ziji asked embarrassedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, when my father was dying, I was not allowed to reward the general, and now that the general has made this great feat, how should I reward it?" ”

"This ......"

Ji Ping was also stumped by this question, he thought about it and asked Zhao Ziji, "How does the emperor plan to reward him?" ”

A generation of new people replace the old, this is an eternal truth, now that Zhao Quan is dead, Zhao Ziji is the emperor, so Ji Ping naturally will not oppose Zhao Ziji's idea when Xiao Mo has made great contributions.

Isn't that unpleasant for yourself? So Ji Ping planned to inquire about Zhao Ziji's thoughts on Xiao Mo's meritorious service.

Zhao Ziji thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's difficult, my father's decree, I must abide by it!" ”

At this point, Minister Ji Ping shut up at the right time.

Your Majesty, if you say it's difficult yourself, then don't ask us, we don't know what to do!

"Why don't you ask...... Zhao Ziji's eyes suddenly lit up, but halfway through his words, he smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said: "I'm confused, how can I ask him about this general?" ”

Feelings Zhao Ziji saw that there was no way for the civil and military officials, so he thought of Xiao Mo, the smartest person in the world, but ...... Can you ask Xiao Mo about such a thing?

After thinking about it, Zhao Ziji said to Ji Ping: "I can only ask Ji Aiqing to write a good report for Master Li's performance, and then tell the world so that the people can encourage it." Other than that...... I'm going to go to Xiao Mansion, first, to see my sister, and second...... I also asked how to repay the general for doing this great service to the world! ”

Ji Ping said: "The ministers obey the order, and the emperor ...... The minister has a suggestion here that the people of the general's hometown can be exempted from paying taxes for three years, in order to show preferential treatment to the general and the general's neighbors! ”

Hearing Ji Ping's words, Zhou Chang frowned and asked, "Master Ji, now the annual tax in Changle Town is millions of copper coins!" ”

Hearing Zhou Chang's words, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were a little painful......

Even Ji Ping almost didn't smack his mouth, he was in charge of this household before, but after the development of Shen County, it was Shi Zhongyuan who was in charge, and later handed over to the current Zhou Chang, so Ji Ping didn't know that a small Changle Town, now the annual tax has reached a million!

After thinking about it, Ji Ping asked: "Lord Zhou, this Changle Town has an annual income of one million, but it is all the people's poll tax?" ”

Zhou Chang shook his head and said: "There are three major iron mines in Changle Town, as well as cement workshops, sericulture and cotton lime workshops, and the taxes in these places account for eight or nine out of ten!" ”

Hearing Zhou Chang's words, Ji Ping breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Zhao Ziji: "Your Majesty, what the minister just said is just a reduction of the poll tax!" ”

Ji Ping's words also made Zhao Ziji breathe a sigh of relief, to be honest, let him reduce so many taxes, even if Zhao Ziji is the emperor, it will be a little painful, but it is only tens of thousands of head taxes, which is really insignificant compared to millions.

So Zhao Ziji approved Ji Ping's idea, and then went out of the palace.

Out of the palace, Zhao Ziji was naturally worshiped by the people of the capital, Zhao Ziji's reputation among the people has always been very good, of course, this has something to do with the officials of the East Palace, who tried their best to maintain Zhao Ziji's image.

And the bigger reason is because Zhao Ziji is indeed a benevolent monarch, and after Zhao Ziji ascended the throne, he not only dealt with political affairs clearly, but also adopted Ji Ping's idea of governing the country, and implemented a lot of benevolent government in accordance with the slogan of 'benevolent government inside, and heaven outside', which made the people respect Zhao Ziji as the emperor and called him 'Emperor Ren'!

After arriving at the Xiao family, the Xiao family's subordinates and guards had already lined up to salute to welcome the emperor's car, and Yun Xue and Xiao Guanyin and other housewives of the Xiao family also went out of the gate to pay respects to Zhao Ziji.

Zhao Ziji hurriedly got off the dragon bowl, and then returned the salute to the daughters and said: "The princess is my sister, the general is my brother, and your sisters-in-law are my sisters-in-law, where do I dare to accept such a big gift from your sisters-in-law?" ”

Zhao Ziji said this, he is modest, he is the emperor, what kind of etiquette he can't stand?

But Zhao Ziji's personality is like this, especially for Xiao Mo...... Of course Zhao Ziji knows that if there is no Xiao Mo, it is still a question whether he Zhao Ziji can have today, although Xiao Mo has not publicly stated his support for Zhao Ziji before Zhao Ziji ascended the throne, but Zhao Ziji, the emperor, was able to become the crown prince back then, relying on Xiao Mo to single-handedly eliminate Zhao Zixuan, the king of Qin, and the new faction of the court against Zhao Ziji!
