Chapter 705 Welcoming
His Majesty the Human Emperor is gone.
Pingxin looked at the place where Li Qing disappeared for a long time before taking a deep breath.
She clenched her fists, moved her body, and fell into the six, no, three, reincarnation realms.
She is experienced in how to rebuild the three realms of reincarnation.
After all, the original six realms of reincarnation were built by her bit by bit until it ran perfectly.
Within the three realms of reincarnation, above the earth.
Although the twelve-grade karmic fire red lotus platform had cracks all over it, it was not crushed by the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation.
The same is true for the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag.
These two treasures are now severely damaged, but since they are treasures, they have the ability to repair themselves.
Unless it is broken into pieces, it will return to its original state within ten thousand years.
It was obvious that Li Qing left this for her on purpose.
Pingxin picked up the two magic weapons, smiled, and said to himself: "Don't worry, I will definitely clean up our house well!"
Then, she started jumping around and getting busy like a little rabbit.
…
Li Qing's expression was calm. He took one step forward and was back in the human world, in Chaoge City.
Taoist Mosquito's eyes were full of circles. Such a large-scale movement was beyond his limit.
If it weren't for Li Qing's Qi protecting him, he would have been torn into pieces by this move!
But even so, he was still dizzy and fell to the ground retching as soon as he came out.
Li Qing ignored him and just walked forward.
Upon seeing this, Taoist Mosquito quickly wiped his mouth, endured the dizziness, and followed.
It would be soon to return to the palace. In just a few breaths, Li Qing was back in the imperial study.
More than ten days later.
The king of the Shang Dynasty is back again.
Soon, Jiang Qian, Shi Ji, Jiu Feng, Xue Ling and other concubines who got the news rushed over.
Li Qing had been missing for more than ten days, which made them very worried.
Li Qing naturally comforted him, and then he learned that Master Wen had defeated Xiqi and completely occupied the city of Xiqi.
This is a surprise.
Because even Li Qing had never thought that the city would be captured so quickly.
In his opinion, the people of Xiqi must persist until the demise of the saint.
However, he did not expect that Xiqi City was broken just over ten days after he left the front line, and Ji Chang was captured, although he was just a corpse.
He comforted the frightened concubines all night long.
Li Qing stretched his body, stretched his muscles, and prepared for the morning court.
It has been more than ten days since then, and His Majesty has finally had enough rest. Today he is finally going to court.
The ministers, who had rested for a long time and were exhausted, naturally came to the morning court in high spirits.
Wen Taishi defeated the bandits on the front line, and all 200 princes of Xiqi surrendered. The Shang Dynasty will be as stable as Mount Tai, unmoved by wind and rain!
This is a great joy!
I don’t know how His Majesty will reward me today.
The ministers stood in two groups, and Li Qinggao sat in the upper seat.
After not seeing you for many days, Your Majesty seems to be becoming more majestic and unpredictable, and his every move is frightening.
The fortunes of the Shang Dynasty gradually consolidated, with the blessing of national destiny.
His Majesty Emperor Xin, the Human Emperor, will become the greatest Human Emperor throughout history!
Speaking of which, with the destruction of Xiqi, the destiny of humanity, which had been suppressed since the disappearance of the Three Emperors and the entrapment of the Human Emperor, gradually awakened and began to struggle bit by bit!
"His Majesty!"
At the court meeting, Bigan's face was filled with joy as he stepped out and said, "The Grand Master, leading the mighty lions of the Shang Dynasty, has captured the bandits of Xiqi. The bandit leader, Ji Chang, has committed suicide. This is a rare and significant victory for the Shang Dynasty! I propose a general amnesty, using the heavy taxes of Xiqi as a gift to the people of the Shang Dynasty, and reducing taxes by half for three years. Your Majesty, do you agree?"
Shang Rong also nodded with a smile on his face and said, "What you said is absolutely right, Prime Minister. I second your opinion."
"I second the motion!"
At that moment, the others also bowed.
The four passes and seventy-two cities of Xiqi were all severely punished by Your Majesty for supporting the rebellion of the rebels, and were subject to extremely heavy taxes for decades.
Bigan and Shang Rong were actually opposed to such harsh criticism, but after all, the order had been issued, and they didn't have any good feelings towards the land of Xiqi, so they agreed.
Even with such heavy taxes, the taxes collected are enough to support the entire country.
Then, in order to show the grace of the Emperor, taxes in other places should be reduced, which will better unite the people.
This is called tightening and loosening.
It is certainly impossible that Bigan said this in a fit of rage. He had already written a memorial with the specific procedures and submitted it.
Li Qing took a look at the memorial, which was written in more detail, specifying how much the punishment should be reduced and what crimes could be pardoned and which crimes could not be pardoned.
After taking a quick glance, Li Qing nodded and said, "This is a very good idea. I approve it."
Bigan smiled, bowed, and returned to his seat. He had already prepared a plan for all matters.
Shang Rong stepped out of the ranks again, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, since Grand Tutor Wen has led a large army to defeat the bandits, how should the rewards be bestowed upon him? After all, this campaign involved an army of over two million men, including several regional generals, the Grand Tutor who protects the nation, and even the King Wucheng, who defends the country. The rewards will likely be substantial."
Upon hearing this, Li Qing frowned slightly, but then said calmly, "Let you, Shang Xiang, lead the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue to formulate the rewards. I believe that Shang Xiang will be fair and will not cause dissatisfaction among the generals of the anti-rebel army."
Are you kidding me? If I were to take care of a reward of two million troops, how long would it take? I don't have the mindset to do everything myself.
You should just kick the ball back. You proposed it yourself, so you should handle it yourself.
Sure enough, Shang Rong was stunned when he heard it. He blinked his eyes but didn't know what to say.
As the Left Prime Minister, I have indeed taken on all these tasks to help His Majesty relieve his worries...
At that moment, Shang Rong could only bow and say, "I obey your order."
After the two prime ministers spoke, the other ministers began to step forward one by one and report on the important matters they had accumulated in recent days.
Li Qing naturally solved the problem in the palace, and those that could not be solved were delegated to others, allowing them to solve them on their own.
Soon, the business was completed. Li Qing stood up with a smile and said, "The Grand Tutor's army should be back in the evening. My dear ministers, you should make good preparations. The people in the city should all be mobilized and join me at the west gate to welcome the army back!"
"promise!"
All the ministers bowed and left the court.
The city of Chaoge had naturally already been decorated with lights and was full of joy.
There was almost no need for mobilization, as tens of millions of people were already waiting in West City, decorating the area within dozens of miles with joy.
Flowers, colorful flags, red silk and ribbons have already been prepared, and they will be given a huge welcome ceremony when the army returns.
By the afternoon, Li Qing, also wearing a large crown and a nine-comb on his head, walked out of the West City with the left and right prime ministers, the six ministers, and a group of officials, waiting for the army to return.
Being welcomed personally by the Human Emperor is the supreme honor!
