When did the Celestial Realm become so worthless?

In this way, it seems that she, a Taoist goddess, is very mediocre.

"Your strength is far better than mine, so kill me if you want!"

Luo Qingcheng completely gave up resistance.

However, Yan Lingji put down Luo Qingcheng's wrist, patted Luo Qingcheng's fragrant shoulder with a light smile, and said, "What is Luo Guiren talking about?"

"You are a noble person personally appointed by His Majesty, how could Your Majesty be willing to kill you?"

"This time His Majesty sent me here to invite Mr. Luo to return to the palace."

"Go back to the palace?"

Luo Qingcheng was startled.

Li Xiu, actually gave her another chance?

Is it for the sake of their skin-to-skin relationship?

"good."

Yan Lingji nodded, and said with a smile: "However, Your Majesty has a kind heart. Knowing that your master's school has been destroyed, you will definitely have a grudge against him."

"That's why His Majesty specifically asked me to respect your opinion, Mr. Luo."

"If you don't want to go back, I will make a clean break from now on and let you go away freely."

"Did he really say that?"

Luo Qingcheng's pretty face was slightly moved.

"That can still be false."

The smile on Yan Lingji's face increased a bit, looked at Luo Qingcheng, and said: "So, Mrs. Luo, do you want to choose to leave?"

Unexpectedly, Luo Qingcheng shook his head, "No, I choose to go back with you."

"why?"

Yan Lingji was a little puzzled, "Don't you hate His Majesty at all for the revenge of the division's destruction?"

"In the face of absolute strength, love and hatred are just floating clouds."

Luo Qingcheng looked at Yan Lingji, and said calmly: "Besides, if I'm not wrong, if I choose to leave, I'm afraid it will be a dead end, right?"

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiu was arbitrarily assertive. How could a person who could not tolerate the slightest bit of sand in his eyes allow the own woman to leave the sight of own?

The choice given to him by the other party, I'm afraid it can only be to return to the palace obediently, or die!

Compared to trusting the unfathomable woman in front of him, Luo Qingcheng is still more willing to trust his own judgment.

"You are indeed a smart woman, no wonder His Majesty is willing to give you a chance to live."

There was a slight change in the way Yan Lingji looked at Luo Qingcheng.

It seems that the Luo nobleman in front of her is not as useless as she imagined.

"please."

Yan Lingji made a gesture of invitation to Luo Qingcheng, and immediately walked towards the outside of the hall.

Looking at Yan Lingji's back, Luo Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that she bet right.

At this moment, she finally realized what it means to be with a king like a tiger.

Li Xiu himself is already unpredictable, and beside him, there is such a cruel and merciless woman as Yan Lingji.

If she becomes Li Xiu's concubine in the future, I'm afraid she will not have a good life.

If you are not careful, you will fall into a situation where there is no redemption.

...

Chang'an City.

royal palace.

Royal study.

"Your Majesty, Miss Yan Lingji is indeed extremely powerful. With the power of one person, she turned the tide and killed the heads of the Dragon and Tiger Palace, Beggar Sect, and Huashan School, completely disintegrating the Righteous Path Alliance."

In front of Li Xiu, Cao Zhengchun looked very excited.

Li Xiu told him before that Yan Lingji had a Cultivation Base, but he still didn't quite believe it.

Now, he believed it!

Five-body cast!

However, Li Xiu just nodded calmly, indicating that he knew about it.

With Yan Lingji, the Grand Great Master of the Celestial Realm, the three leaders of the Righteous Path Alliance, even if they add up, it is impossible to be the enemy of Yan Lingji.

Everything is expected.

"Where is Mrs. Luo?"

Li Xiu asked casually.

"Already returned to the palace."

Cao Zhengchun replied.

"It's quite interesting."

Li Xiu said noncommittal.

After all, she was the woman he favored, so it would be a pity to kill her.

Cao Zhengchun said: "The old slave has asked the maid in the palace to teach the nobleman Luo the etiquette, so that she can adapt to the status of concubine as soon as possible."

Li Xiu nodded, "Pass in my oral order to let Yan Lingji and Dongfang Hierarch continue to rectify the Martial Forest and clean up the Rivers and Lakes forces in the Tang Dynasty."

"Surrender without death, those who refuse to obey will be killed!"

"The old slave obeys the order."

Cao Zhengchun immediately cupped his hands and retreated.

After Cao Zhengchun retired.

Li Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up, "The Rivers and Lakes Martial Forest has been set, it's time for a new round of expansion of my Tang dynasty."

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiu would not only be satisfied with the current territory of the Tang Dynasty.

What's more, today's Li Xiu has two famous generals through the ages, Bai Qi and Xiang Yu, and holds three elite armies of Daxuelongqi, Tieying Ruishi and Hubaoqi. If he doesn't sweep the world and conquer the world, wouldn't it be a waste?

...

the next day.

On the throne room.

Civil and military officials entered the hall one by one.

It is listed on both sides of the royal road.

After shouting long live, the Minister of the Ministry of Hu came out, bowed to Li Xiu who was seated on the dragon chair, and said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Hu has completed the first round of land and household registration checks. From the hands of the world's aristocratic families, check A large number of hidden land and household registrations have been released, and all statistics have been recorded, and taxes have been re-collected.”

"In this round, the Ministry of Household Affairs recovered a total of 80 million taels of tax from the hands of the major families to fund the treasury."

As soon as these words came out, all civil and military officials showed joy.

Unexpectedly, this is the first round of investigation, and it has achieved such results. The huge sum of 80 million taels of silver is enough for the court to use for a long time.

If His Majesty saves money, even the court will not have a financial crisis for a long time to come.

However, Li Xiu on the throne just nodded slightly, "Conduct the second round of investigation as soon as possible, and make sure to bring all the land and household registrations in the world under the control of the imperial court!"

"Sir, obey the order."

Hubu Shangshu's cupped hands obeyed the order with full confidence.

The first round of investigation mainly targeted the states and counties that Datang originally controlled.

Except for some obstacles at the beginning, later on, after the Yang family was exterminated, the world's aristocratic families became much more obedient, and basically no one dared to do anything.

In the second round of investigation, the focus must be on the newly conquered feudal towns.

There are also a lot of wealthy families in the Fanzhen area, and the taxes that can be recovered will only be more than the first round.

Moreover, with Dongchang's secret support, no aristocratic family dared to resist at all. The Minister of the Household Department did not think that this matter would be difficult.

However, the Minister of the Household Department did not know that Li Xiu had a deeper purpose in counting the world's land and population!

It is to lay the foundation for his next move.

But that's for later.

Now, the first thing before Li Xiu is to get rid of the foreign races around Datang who are staring at him!

And this first one is Nanzhao who once got involved in the civil strife in Tang Dynasty!

Under Li Xiu's instruction, Admiral Zhao immediately stepped out of the shift, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the treasury is now full, the country is at peace, the calamity of the feudal towns has subsided, our Tang Dynasty is thriving, and the tiger and wolf army is powerful all over the world."

"Nowadays there is a small country called Nanzhao, which ignores His Majesty's might and repeatedly offends our Tang Dynasty. I implore Your Majesty to send troops to destroy this country and pacify our land in the southern part of the Tang Dynasty!"
