"Minister Li, do you have any objections?"
"I have no objections to the new tax law. Now that the position of Minister of Revenue is empty, I recommend the Assistant Minister of Revenue, Zhang Juzheng, to take up the position of Minister of Revenue!”
"Allow!"
"This subject Zhang Juzheng thanks Your Majesty!"
Zhang Ju was kneeling in the main hall, extremely excited!
The gazes of all the officials turned from hatred to respect!
After the morning court session ended.
Li Si and Zhang Juzheng stayed behind.
"Does Minister Li have ten thousand hectares of fertile land?”
" Your Majesty," Li Si cupped his hands and said," I have more than 10,000 hectares of fertile land at home. There are 380,000 hectares." They were all painstakingly saved by my ancestors for the Great Zhou Dynasty. I'm just basking in the glory of my ancestors.”
"I find it strange that the new tax law proposed by Uncle will make Minister Li pay a hundred thousand times more taxes than before. Could it be that Minister Li doesn't like money?”
"I love money, but I also know that everything I have was given to me by the Great Zhou Emperor. Compared to the Great Zhou, I know which is more important.”
"Minister Li's breadth of mind is indeed the pillar of the Great Zhou. As expected of my assistant, the role model of all officials! But I heard that you're on good terms with Shi Chong and Jia Shidao. Is that true?”
Li Si's expression changed slightly and he quickly knelt down.""My loyalty to Your Majesty and the Great Zhou can be seen by the sun and the moon, and the heavens and the earth. I have never crossed the line.”
At that moment, Li Si saw a murderous look in the young emperor's eyes.
Li Si felt a chill run down his spine as he broke out in cold sweat.
Could it be that the Emperor had found out something?
"There is no place for sand in my eyes. I trust you, and I still need Minister Li's assistance.”
Li Si got up from the ground. Although his expression did not change at all, his heart was in turmoil."Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Si understood that if this young emperor wanted to kill him, he would probably kill him just like how he killed Yan Song.
Accompanying the king was like accompanying a tiger!
The Li family had served the Ji family for many years and were the most loyal servants of the Ji family. Their ancestors had even produced many empresses, empress dowagers, and concubines.
The strategy proposed by the Li family's ancestor had an indelible contribution to the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Besides, Li Si did not lack money.
Ji Hao knew that.
After Li Si left, he realized that his back was wet.
He suddenly remembered his father's last words before he died: "Our Li family has been the most loyal dog of the Great Zhou Imperial Family for generations. We can't overstep our boundaries!”
At that time, Li Si was in high spirits. He was only 30 years old, but he had already become the Minister of Rites.
He was even younger than Zhang Juzheng.
He didn't understand why he had to be a dog instead of a good person.
Now, Li Si finally understood that it was better to be a dog than a human. Only by being a dog could the Li family continue to be an official in the court for generations!
If it was a human, the Li family's power would dominate the world, and cliques of students would be everywhere in the imperial court.
He would definitely be rejected by the Great Zhou Imperial Family!
The Li family had long since ceased to exist.
Li Si was already 62 years old this year, and he had become the current Prime Minister step by step. He swore to himself that he would definitely pass on this fine tradition of his ancestors.
My Li family will be the most loyal dog of the Great Zhou Emperor for generations to come!
……
Outside Three Rivers Pass.
"Report!"
"Generals Lu Bu, Li Yuanba, and Xiang Yu have entered the Turkic territory alone!”
"They are brave and good at fighting. They can take the heads of enemy generals in the midst of tens of thousands of troops. However, this trip to the Turks is extremely dangerous. Losing any one of them would be a misfortune for the Great Zhou. But this is also good. His Majesty wants the heads of the Turkic Khagan and hopes that they can bring them back and hand them over to His Majesty.”Baiqi held the secret letter from Chang 'an Fortress in his hand and could not calm down for a long time.
Han Xin's face was filled with curiosity. Why was the Emperor's secret letter so shocking to General Baiqi?"Commander-in-chief, what did His Majesty say in the secret letter?”
"His Majesty has ordered us to bring back the head of the Turkic Khagan and has already made me Minister of War.”
"Then congratulations, Marshal!"
"If we can't bring back the head of the Turkic Khan, His Majesty said that we should never return to Chang 'an!”
Han Xin chuckled and comforted him." Commander, this is a good thing. The higher His Majesty's expectations are, the more he thinks highly of us! Xiang Yu, Lu Bu, Li Yuanba, and the four secret agents had already taken the head of the Turkic Khan.”
"I hope so." Bai Qi sighed.”
The Turkic Khagan had already led two hundred thousand soldiers back to his territory and set up camp.
They had suffered heavy losses in this battle. The Turks would not have the chance to move into Chang 'an for the next ten years!
With the speed of the Turks, they would reach Chang 'an in two days after crossing the Three Rivers Pass.
He hadn't expected that the 400,000 Turkic cavalry would lose 180,000 men outside Three Rivers Pass!
The pursuers behind him had killed nearly ten thousand Turkic cavalry in just a few days.
What shocked him even more was that!
Tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry were unable to stop any of the three Great Zhou generals.
He had almost been beheaded by a Great Zhou general riding a red rabbit horse and holding a halberd!
If it wasn't for the tribal leaders who risked their lives to save him, he would have already died.
It was truly extremely dangerous!
He had also lost many soldiers, and even one of his sons who had followed him to battle had died!
Emperor of Great Zhou, I will remember this grudge!
One day, I will flatten Chang 'an and take your head to make a wine pot!
To avenge today's humiliation!
At this moment, the night was already dark!
No one noticed that four figures had descended from the sky and entered the Turkic Khagan's camp.
"Who are you?"
The Turkic Khagan drew his scimitar and slashed at Linglinggong!
The sound of lightning crackled!
The Turkic Khagan was greatly shocked. This saber that could cut through bones had actually failed to harm this half-naked fellow.
"What is he talking about? I don't understand a single word.”
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"He should be the Turkic Khagan we're looking for. Kill him and bring his head back.”
"This time, I really have a whole new level of respect for Zero Zero. If it wasn't for his invention, how could we have come here like birds?”
In the Turkic camp, the Turkic Khagan's screams had awakened the Turks.
The Turkic camp immediately began to stir.
A Turkic immediately gave the order when he saw the four figures in the air. "What is that thing? Shoot it down!”
However, what they got in response was!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
……
In a flash, countless artillery fire descended from the sky, even turning the Turkic general who had given the order into dust!
"Zero Zero, this thing of yours is really useful!”
"It's just a little hot!"
"Don't worry, it won't burn our mouths. How can we leave so easily?”
"That's true. Zero Zero, we'll acknowledge you as our big brother in the future!”
"Hello, little brothers!"
"Hello, Big Brother!"
As the four spies beheaded the Turkic Khagan, they left.
The death of the Turkic Khagan was extremely tragic!
All the bones in his body were crushed!
His arms and legs had been twisted off!
His head was even chopped off!
He became a human stick!
The death of the Turkic Khagan immediately caused the Turks to panic and fall into chaos!
