Whether borrowing or selling the family's land and shops, he pushed the cart back to pay back all the money owed to the national treasury.

Seeing this scene, Lord Gao and Lord Taiwei almost broke their steel teeth.

When they went to ask for it, those noble families and wealthy men were like chaste and heroic women, refusing to give in even at death.

Why is this fucking thing like a worthless widow, delivering itself to the door before anyone could even ask for it?

I don't understand what means Li Ziyu used to get back the large sum of borrowed money so easily, filling the originally empty treasury.

To the officials who came to inquire, Li Ziyu just smiled faintly and did not answer, leaving them to guess for themselves.

A certain female official who had hidden her merits and fame also understood that even without the evidence that she had ordered An Yi and others to send out, Li Ziyu only needed more time to make those aristocratic families willingly hand over the silver to repay their debts.

When Li Ziyu learned that the criminal evidence received by those aristocratic families was not only the one he secretly sent to them, he vaguely knew who was helping him in secret.

But since someone didn't want to say it, Li Ziyu pretended not to know.

Li Ziyu did a great job this time, and Kong Xun struck while the iron was hot, not giving other officials the opportunity to raise objections or cause trouble.

He was immediately appointed as prime minister at the morning court session the next day.

Lord Gao and Lord Taiwei gritted their teeth and accepted this fact. It was their fault for making such decisive statements in the first place. If they wanted to oppose them now, they would have to be shameless.

After the morning court session, Kong Xun was in a good mood today.

He ordered An Xin to be summoned to the palace to accompany him in handling state affairs.

The reason was that An Xin was a minister entrusted by his father to assist the emperor, and he had to stay in the court until he firmly sat on the throne.

Suppress those ministers who want to seize power while he is still not firmly seated on the throne.

Kong Xun sat behind the large imperial desk and reviewed memorials.

An Xin sat on the chair opposite him, bored, dozing off with his chin in his hand. He thought of a minister who had suggested during this period that Kong Xun should hold a beauty contest to recruit concubines.

The royal offspring are still relatively important, because they really have a throne to inherit.

So someone who was bored lazily said, "Your Majesty, you are already an adult, why don't you choose a show to play with.

By the way, we can appoint a queen, a concubine, or something, so that those ministers will stay away from the court and quarrel over the affairs of the harem."

When Kong Xun heard this, he raised his eyes from the memorial he was marking and looked at An Xin's face, who was squinting and looked like he was about to fall asleep.

His eyes became inexplicable, and his tone was somewhat helpless, "It has not even been a year since my father passed away. As a prince, I have never been by his side to show my filial respect, and I feel very guilty.

Therefore, I decided to observe a three-year mourning period for him and never mention this matter again. "

An Xin was not interested in such old-fashioned things as urging marriage; she just mentioned it casually because she was bored.

For her, who advocates freedom of marriage, it is Kong Xun's own business when he wants to find a girlfriend and get married.

She didn’t know what the other ministers thought, but An Xin felt that she had no control over this matter.

An Xin, who was lying on the imperial desk, did not realize that Kong Xun always referred to himself as "I" to her in private, instead of "I" or "Zhen" which was reserved for the emperor.

And Si Han brought Xiao Wenrou back to Beiming.

First of all, Emperor Bei Ming was so excited when he saw his son who looked like him that he couldn't react.

Si Han was faced with questions about his identity from those royal family members who did not want Emperor Beiming to have his own children, as well as some selfish ministers.

At first Si Han thought that Emperor Bei Ming could deal with those who questioned his identity.

However, Emperor Bei Ming had no heir, and he had been living a life of debauchery and debauchery in recent years. He was attached to the harem and just wanted to create a baby to inherit his throne.

There was a loophole in the control over the previous dynasty, and those royal family members and ministers who wanted to seize power seized the opportunity to divide up a large part of the power in the hands of Emperor Bei Ming.

Si Han only found out about this later.

This also explains why he was assassinated by unknown persons on his way back to Beiming Kyoto from Beiming border and Cangbei City, even though he knew that Emperor Beiming had sent a large number of people to protect him.

Si Han listened coldly to those people's attacks on his identity, and Emperor Bei Ming was very angry at first and sent people to suppress those rumors.

But after a period of time, rumors questioning his identity as Prince Bei Ming became more and more intense.

When Emperor Bei Ming found that he could not suppress the rumors and was powerless to do anything about it, he advised Si Han to open his mind and not care about what those people said.

From that time on, Si Han knew that Emperor Bei Ming was an unreliable father.

Therefore, he became even more considerate and attentive to Xiao Wenrou. Even if the people in Beiming Palace were instructed to deduct his share, Si Han would find a way to send the best food and drink to Xiao Wenrou.

Xiao Wenrou saw everything Si Han did to her and felt that Si Han, the prince of Bei Ming, was really a repressed person.

She thought that when he was in the capital of Daqian, he was probably distant from her because of her identity. Now that he came to Beiming and restored his identity, his true thoughts were revealed.

The heroine who traveled through time and space to this world was loved like a treasure. Seeing Si Han's good-looking face, Xiao Wenrou gradually felt moved.

And this is exactly the result that Si Han wanted.

Next, those royal family members and ministers in Bei Ming who questioned Si Han's identity were either poisoned to death by some unknown poison or killed with a bang by an unknown hidden weapon from a distance.

Because the assassin was far away and attacked suddenly, the guards protecting those people had no time to catch him and the assassin ran away without a trace.

Those who died were high-ranking ministers and royal relatives. The eunuchs hurriedly reported the matter to Emperor Bei Ming.

Emperor Bei Ming, who was holding a beauty in his arms and trying hard to give birth to a child with pure bloodline who could convince his ministers of the royal heir, showed indifference.

On the contrary, after those people died, certain powers returned to his hands, which made Emperor Bei Ming wish that more powerful ministers like them would die so that he could regain power in his own hands.

Si Han's ambition does not allow him to live a mediocre life in Beiming.

As those who targeted his identity died, Si Han gradually gained a foothold in Beiming, and some officials from Beiming also secretly defected to him.

Even the Beiming Palace gradually had his spies.

And there is our Miss Xiao Wenrou, who thinks she is a time-traveling heroine. As Si Han rises secretly, her selfishness and domineering nature slowly reveals itself.

Si Han let it go and showed infinite tolerance for her love.

This allowed Xiao Wenrou to act recklessly in Beiming Kyoto for a while.

When the young ladies and noble ladies in the capital of Beiming learned that she was the woman of Si Han, the only prince of Beiming, they could only hold their noses and endure it secretly. Every time she met them, she acted superior and noble.
