my unparalleled way

Chapter 1345
In less than ten days, Tianhe retreated and the grassland was defeated. The rapid changes in the battle situation made many people feel dizzy.

It wasn't until this moment that people finally understood that although the four-nation alliance had been premeditated, it was still the Yue Kingdom that had the upper hand.

The fate of Southern Qi will no longer be in suspense. The Zixing people originally hoped that the grassland and Tianhe would penetrate the rear of the Moon Kingdom, causing chaos in the Moon Kingdom, forcing Lin Si to return to the army, and then they could even go south in a big way.

But now, all of this has come to naught.

With Ye Hong guarding the north of Qianlan, even if Mi Yuanyun wanted to attack Qianlan in the south, there would be no result at all.What's more, Luohou is still there, and Gao Zhen has not perished for the time being.

The Prairie Country itself is in danger now, and with the [-] defeated soldiers, the Prairie Country now has a total of [-] troops. Facing the relentless pursuit of the Moon Country's army, it may not be too late to destroy the Prairie Country.

After all, the person who led this Yue Kingdom chaser was Ji Bingyun, who was best at grassland warfare.

As for Tianhe, the 'cowardly' Tianhe monarch and ministers withdrew the 30 troops hoarded on the border of the Moon Kingdom without firing a single arrow.

This move not only made Zixing's lungs explode, but also made the people of Tianhe extremely dissatisfied.

Perhaps Yue Luoning was right in saying something, Tianhe people are arrogant and fanatical, and they are also extremely aggressive in their bones.When Tianhe's army gathered at the northeast border of the Moon Kingdom, the people of Tianhe cheered and ran to tell each other, as if Tianhe was about to start a new dynasty.

They can't wait to let the outside world see the strength of Tianhe, and they can't wait to show the might of Tianhe to the entire Cangluo Continent.

Now the Tianhe army has retreated, which makes them feel... very shameless.

Especially facing Xue Chen, the 'executor' who 'slaughtered' hundreds of thousands of warriors across the Milky Way in the Battle of Zhouxi City.

How can this murderer not be made to pay the price?How can let him go?Wouldn't it make Tianhe Kingdom a laughing stock on the mainland to be scared back without even fighting a single battle?

However, no matter how dissatisfied the people were, Tianhe's ruler and ministers did not dare to act recklessly.Because they are still rational and clear-headed after all, they know that the Tianhe soldiers who have escaped from the mountains will not have the slightest advantage outside.

In particular, Xue Chen still defended Jingcheng, and his military strength was not weaker than Tianhe's. If this battle really started, it would only be Tianhe himself who was bruised and swollen.

Paying the price but not getting any benefits, Tianhe's ruler and ministers certainly wouldn't be stupid.

They are indeed unwilling in their hearts, but they are more restless.

Once the Southern Qi Grassland is destroyed, only Tianhe and the unbelievably huge Moon Kingdom are left in the six southeastern countries.

At that time, can Tianhe continue to survive unharmed?
But who can they count on?In addition to being rich and prosperous, Lan Kingdom on the north of Tianhe River is weaker than them in terms of national strength. If it is not attached to Zixing, Lan Kingdom may have been beaten by Tianhe long ago.

As for the other three sides, they will all be the Moon Kingdom by then.Even if they want to find help, it is difficult to find.

At this point, Tianhe's rulers and ministers finally felt remorse.

Lin Si and Yin Li have a very good personal relationship, which is now known across the continent.Originally, because of the relationship between the two of them, Tianhe could take care of himself alone.Especially at that time, Lin Sidu had promised not to invade Tianhe.

But then the Tianhe people themselves gave up the opportunity to be alone, and their ambitions blinded their eyes.Sending troops to the west city once, and sending troops to Jingcheng once, the two sides have completely torn apart.

If it is possible to seek peace now, Tianhe Lord and Minister will definitely send someone there impatiently.Compared with the subjugation of the country, what is it to lose face and pay some conditions?
It's just that they don't know that it is impossible for the people of Yue Kingdom to agree to a peace negotiation.

"I can only ask Her Royal Highness to come forward..."

"Send someone to the Heart Palace."

"That's all!"

This is the way Tianhe Lord and Minister finally came up with, to find Yin Li and ask her to intercede with Lin Si.

They used to be sincerely grateful and ecstatic for the non-aggression agreement brought by Yin Li.When they broke the promise, they also secretly laughed at her and Lin Si's innocence.

But now, they need her to save face and beg Lin Si.

That's right, this is of course a shameful thing, and it is completely different from when Yin Li made that request to Lin Si back then.At that time, the Yue Kingdom had not yet expanded abroad, and Tianhe had not yet offended the Yue Kingdom.

At that time, when they discussed this matter, they were equal to each other.

But now, it is different.Tianhe is completely unreasonable, even the emperor and ministers of Tianhe don't know what to say about the people of the Moon Kingdom, let alone Yin Li?

This is like in the secular world, where a thin person repeatedly provokes or even betrays a strong person for no reason, and now he is worried that the other party will retaliate, so he hastily asks a friend to intercede.

The person who came forward to intercede can only comfort the other party with kind words... Of course, her face will also be lost.

It's just that Tianhe Junchen's own face is worthless, even if he wants to lose it, no one will take it.But Yin Li's face should still be valuable, right?

She is the second expert in Heart Palace, a well-known figure there, and she has a good friendship with Lin Si, Lin Si should pay attention to her attitude, right?
For the sake of thousands of people in Tianhe, she just lost face, so what is it?isn't it?

Tianhe's ruler and ministers thought very far away, they even began to daydream, if Yin Li could bring a group of heart masters to support Tianhe, it would be even better.

In fact, over the past year or so, they have secretly blamed her for this.

Lin Si can pull Jianzong to support Yueguo. As the 'daughter of Tianhe', why can't Yin Li pull Xingong to Tianhe's side?Why can't the master of the holy realm in Xingong also sit in Linjia City?

This daughter of Tianhe has not done enough, I am sorry for her name and the love of the people of Tianhe!
She should, do more...

When the Tianhe envoy set off for the Heart Palace, Xian City was already filled with festive and festive atmosphere.

Not to mention the disappearance of the original crisis, the grassland is likely to be wiped out by the Moon Kingdom, which makes the whole Moon Kingdom rejoice.

For a while, the name of the female general Ji Bingyun was sung by countless people, and there was even an upsurge of women volunteering to join the army among the people, but it was declined by the court officials.

This is very natural, except for a few female monks, it is not convenient for women to join the army after all.

It is very rare to have an odd number like Ji Bingyun.

And in the court hall, all the ministers celebrated with each other playing crowns, smiling happily.

However, Yue Luoning's mood couldn't get better.

The battle outside is progressing smoothly. Within three months, Nan Qi and the Grassland should be wiped out by Yue Kingdom one after another.With Lin Si and Ji Bingyun around, Yue Luoning didn't worry about any accidents in these two battles.

She was in a bad mood because of the tax reform a few months ago.

For a country to be strong, of course, it is not because Lin Si brings some masters and teleportation array technology to bring about qualitative changes.For Yue Luoning, the basis for Yue Kingdom to be strong is the countless people.

Cleaning up the land, reforming taxation, making the people have no worries about food and clothing, and increasing the revenue of the treasury are the first steps in Yue Luoning's plan to enrich the country and strengthen the people.

However, although her original intention was good, she received strong support from Lin Si, and the implementation went smoothly. However, after the implementation of these decrees, they were misread by lower-level officials.

Of course, Xi Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, could not manage the land clearing, nor could a dozen ministers do it. After all, there were too many places involved, and it required the cooperation of thousands of officials and nobles below.

Therefore, in the process of clearing the fields, there were still fraudulent practices.Many aristocratic landowners bribed officials who cleared their fields, again concealing the amount of their fields.

For this reason, some localities in the Yue Kingdom even have a tacit 'temporary rule'. If you don't bribe, not only will you not be underreported, but you will be overreported.

On the other hand, the reform of the tax system presided over by Du Qi has also been distorted by lower-level officials.

As the saying goes, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. Yue Luoning reduced the population tax and corvee by more than half, and then incorporated them into the land tax.But some lower-level officials wanted to make a fortune out of it, so they added the title and amount of the land tax without authorization, and the extra part was chosen to fill their own pockets...

It is impossible for the common people to know the inside story of this series of 'changes'.

They only know that because of these new measures, their lives are becoming more difficult.As a result, there were already voices of opposition to the tax reform among the people, which was probably beyond the expectation of both Lin Si and Yue Luoning.

If this move was not proposed by Lin Si, but by Du Qi, then he might have to take the blame and resign now.

However, this does not mean that Yue Luoning will be able to live well now, and what is in front of her is already a predicament.

She was furious in the court that day, but many ministers below were persuading her to abolish the tax reform, putting all the excuses of fault on the fact that the reform was unrealistic.

Of course she wanted to immediately punish those officials and nobles who practiced deceit, but even this seemed difficult to do.

Many officials and nobles below are inextricably linked with the generals of the Fourth Lin Army, Fan Xing's family, Jiang Qi's relatives and friends, Meng Zhen's former robe...

Once these people are moved, it is likely to affect the battle on the front line.

In addition, Mi Yangcheng and many other ministers and disciples of the entire Yue Kingdom are naturally indispensable.

After all, she punished some people, but they were all small fish and shrimp without foundation and support.

As for those who are inextricably linked with the ministers and generals in the court, she can only watch helplessly, unless she wants to overthrow the entire Yue Kingdom officialdom.

However, that will not only paralyze the Yue Kingdom, but also declare that she has completely lost the support of the officials in the court. She is not qualified to kill the officials in a fit of anger like Yue Shan, let alone Lin Si. Dictatorship decides everything.

She knew very well that Mi Yangcheng and other high officials in the court did not seek bribes, and they were still very careful.There will be no excuses left, after all, they are still afraid of Lin Si.

But the actions of the people below are destined to have their connivance and even their instruction.The purpose is to sabotage the tax reform, deliberately turn this measure that could have enriched the country and strengthen the people into a disaster for the country and the people, and force myself to abolish this decree.

There is a saying that the law does not blame the public, when more than half of the entire Yue Kingdom officialdom stood opposite her, Yue Luoning also felt powerless for a while.

The reason is still the same, she is a woman, so many people bet on Lin Si.She lacks the strength to support herself, and her throne has not yet been fully secured.
