When Hunjun begins to make elixirs

"Cousin?"

Li Shun saw who was coming, and the memories buried deep in his heart came flooding back like a tide: "Let her come over."

Li Luoyi came forward and said, "I, the daughter of a guilty minister, Li Luoyi, pay my respects to the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long, long live the emperor."

"Why do you say that, cousin?"

Li Shun heard the two changes in the prefix of his self-proclaimed name and understood it in his heart. This was a complaint against his decision to revoke the treatment of the royal family, to remove the fiefdom without guilt, and to abolish the support.

He pretended to be ignorant and said, "This is not the place to reminisce. Let's go into the palace first." As he spoke, his eyes inadvertently swept over the sword in her arms.

Li Shun returned to the palace and asked Li Luoyi about her purpose and past experiences. While asking, he used the spiritual thread to gradually penetrate into her body and read her memory.

Li Luoyi is holding Taizu's sword, so he must be no simple person. Moreover, it involves Taizu's affairs. How to deal with it depends entirely on whether the visitor has some purpose.

This is incredible. Li Luoyi is actually here to be an undercover agent and assassinate him! It turns out that Li Luoyi had his own experience on the way to Beijing. He was continuously deceived by the people arranged by Taizu. All he saw along the way was that the "people" were living in misery. This people, of course, are not the people of ordinary people, but those with vested interests. Under the new policy, there were many people. This also aroused her sense of responsibility as a descendant of the Li family. She also regretted her care for Li Shun in the past, and decided to personally end the rule of this tyrant who brought disaster to the country and the people.

After all, she stood on the opposite side of Li Shun. After Li Luo entered the palace, he did not show any improper behavior. After talking with Li Shun, he settled down in the palace with peace of mind.

Li Shun remained calm and decided to watch his cousin's performance and find out who was behind her.

Two months later, the fighting on the front line inexplicably stopped, and Taizu's forces ceased to fight and disappeared from the sight of Dayin's army. This operation made the southern rebels panic, and they were not consulted. Faced with the powerful military power of the court, the rebels surrendered without a fight. Those powerful landlords who supported the rebels also took the initiative to offer their land and wealth, just to save their lives.

In the court of Dayin, all the ministers were puzzled by this strange situation. The two armies were deadlocked. Taizu's undead army did not have an advantage in numbers, but their individual combat power was strong and they were immortal, so they could not be completely eliminated. As time went on, the consumption of a large amount of resources gradually made the officials of the court feel negative.

Fortunately, Li Shun explained to them that nothing in the world is eternal and immortal, and the undead army must also have a price to pay, but we cannot see this price. This argument was supported by the sorcerers, and the laws of nature are constant and have their own reasons.

This war started and ended inexplicably, just like a child playing house.

All the ministers turned their eyes to Li Shun who was sitting on the dragon throne, hoping that he could answer their questions.

Li Shun didn't know why, but he firmly believed that any unreasonable behavior must have a hidden purpose behind it. Instead of racking his brains to think about other people's behavior, it is better to follow the existing plan and do what he should do. In this way, at least he will not be fooled or led by the enemy.

He put on a smile and said, "My dear ministers, no matter what, the war is won, isn't it?"

The ministers were stunned. Years of war had made them dare not relax their tense nerves. Thinking about it, it was better not to fight than to fight. They all praised in unison: "Our emperor is wise."

Ding Ao was still responsible. He reminded Li Shun: "Your Majesty, is there a conspiracy behind their behavior?"

Li Shun said: "What if there is? What if there is not? We must guard against thieves for a thousand days without rest. As long as I am here in Dayin and you, my dear ministers, help us, they will never be able to turn the tables. In the world, when enemies come, we will stop them; when water comes, we will block them with earth. From the beginning of this battle, I have made it clear that there is no need to worry too much. We have never had more than one enemy. For the sake of the people of the world and for the sake of future generations, I and you should do our best to deal with future enemies, develop production, and strengthen the military. This is the right way." "Why should I be afraid of the conspiracy of the scoundrels? If Taizu can lead Dayin to prosperity, I will not be greedy for this position, as long as he can come to Beijing and tell him in person. What's wrong with me abdicating and letting the wise man do the job? However, he ignored the difficulties of people's livelihood and forced them to fight. How can he govern the world if he ignores the people like this?"

Li Shun asked Ding Ao: "My dear Ding, you are now in the high position of Prime Minister. If one day I have to borrow your head to make the people live in peace, are you willing to do so?"

Ding Ao immediately replied: "If my head can benefit the people, why should I waste it?"

Li Shun gave him an admiring look and said, "I am the same. Their conspiracy is all about me! I am not afraid of death, so why should I be afraid of their conspiracy! I cannot ignore the lives of the people because of my own selfish thoughts!"

Li Shun stood up and said solemnly: "I have made it clear to the world that if I die in an unexpected disaster, the people of the world do not need to mourn for me, nor seek revenge. Taizu can be restored to the throne, and you, my dear ministers, serve him as you would serve me. My descendants can all be sent out to serve as civilians. However, if Taizu is unkind, the world can do the opposite."

Li Shun spoke passionately and without money, performing a hypocritical performance. Now he holds great power and is invincible. Who can make him lose the throne? Taizu appeared, and it is still unknown who will win.

The court officials were obviously impressed by Li Shun's words, and some elderly officials even burst into tears: "Your Majesty is kind and loves the people, and we are the first to know. How can the dead govern the living? Although Taizu founded the holy dynasty, he is so ignorant of reason. How can he be a wise ruler? If the emperor is in danger, we are willing to be buried with him to repay the kindness of the holy ruler."

Li Shun nodded with emotion, but did not continue speaking. At this point, he had achieved his goal.

After this court meeting, all officials performed their duties and started a vigorous construction movement together with the people. They overcame the famine and restored all industries. The emperor took the lead in banning extravagance and waste. Three meals a day did not exceed five dishes, and daily clothes for four seasons did not exceed eight sets. He reduced taxes and levies, released a large number of palace maids from the palace, and even Li Shun's favorite talent show was temporarily stopped. The Dayin Empire gradually got back on track.

Has Li Shun changed his personality?

On August 8, the tenth year of Shengtong, which was the Emperor's birthday, the first railway from the capital to the southern capital of Dayin was completed, connecting the north and the south, and the whole country was jubilant.

The court decided to celebrate the event. After a period of rest and recuperation, the people of Dayin gradually emerged from the shadow of war, and everything was thriving. The reputation of Emperor Shengtong reversed, and he was on the verge of becoming the greatest emperor of all time.

At this time, Li Shun lived in the harem, surrounded by concubines, with fine wine and delicious food. He was happy watching his children playing in the distance.

Li Luoyi kept raising his glass and drinking. This happy family atmosphere made her feel sad and confused. Was she and her ongoing plan really right?
Under Li Shun's rule, Dayin swept away the decline of the previous dynasties, and the people lived in peace and contentment. During the Shengtong period, a large number of young scholars selected through two imperial examinations consciously united around Li Shun to implement the emperor's will, and the government's orders were carried out in all directions.

At the same time, the victory of the three wars made Li Shun seem like a mythical figure, gaining the absolute loyalty of the soldiers and completely possessing the control of the army. Recently, the restructuring and re-equipment of the Dayin army has been fully carried out. There is no distinction between the new army and the old army. There have also been large-scale adjustments in personnel, sweeping away the remnants of the old army. The generals who grew up in the three wars, headed by Yan Dahu, entered the newly established military academy, combined with new weapons, and innovated strategies and tactics.

Why did Li Luoyi pay attention to these things? Because of a person, the general who once saved her from danger, Luo Rui.

Luo Rui is now the official commander of an army. Due to his outstanding military achievements, he has become a general commanding one of the three major camps in the capital. Li Luoyi met him again half a year ago when Li Shun held a celebration meeting for suppressing the rebellion. Luo Rui noticed Li Luoyi and did not expect that the person he had saved was actually the emperor's cousin. Afterwards, Li Luoyi sent people to contact him many times to express his concern.

Of course, all of this could not escape Li Shun's eyes and ears. He deliberately did not restrict Li Luoyi's freedom, just to see what tricks she and the people behind her were playing. (End of this chapter)
