Yang Wanli was puzzled by Li Yi's sudden agitation. He thought for a moment, looked at him, and asked, "Let me ask you, is there no more males in our Yang royal family?"
Li Yi looked at him for a long time, and couldn't help but ask, "When was it cut?"
Yang Wanli's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly asked, "You haven't become a grandmaster yet, right?"
Li Yi smiled, and said, "Even if you are a grandmaster, you are still not a match for my wife, right?"
Yang Wanli sneered, "If you are a man, don't mention your wife!"
"You are still not a match for my Second Miss."
"…"
"You are still not a match for my MIngzhu."
Li Yi thought for a moment, and then added, "You still don't know who MIngzhu is, right? But this is not important. You are not a match for Ruyi, so you are not a match for MIngzhu."
As a grandmaster expert that was one in a million, Yang Wanli suddenly felt a bit sad.
He was not a match for the Liu sisters, not a match for Xu Tian, not a match for Tian Dan, and Xu Tian said he was also not a match for the eunuch surnamed Chang. Now there was one more …
What use did he have for the title of grandmaster?
He took a deep breath, and with great difficulty, he calmed his emotions, and said, "I mean, other than me …"
Li Yi wanted to remind him that there was still someone called Yang Fu, but although Yang Fu could still be called a person in nature, he was dead in society, so Li Yi didn't mention him again.
He nodded, and said, "You can only blame your grandnephew for being too ruthless."
If the previous emperor of the Wu Kingdom hadn't killed all of the members of the royal family in order to clear away threats, Yang Liuqing's ascension to the throne wouldn't have been so smooth.
Yang Wanli continued, "There are no males in the Yang royal family, but the next emperor of the Wu Kingdom must have the blood of the royal family, so he must be Qing 'er's child."
Li Yi nodded. What Old Man Yang said made sense, but what did this have to do with whether he admitted it or not?
Old man Yang looked at him with a look of understanding, and said, "Qing 'er likes you, so her child can only be your child."
Li Yi's heart skipped a beat. He pointed at him and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense …"
Was this old man out of his mind? Yangliuqing was Ruyi's disciple, his Junior Nephew. This was a mess … No matter how much of a beast he was, he would never have designs on her.
Not yet.
"I don't blame you. You don't have to deny it." Old Yang looked at him and suddenly said, "As long as you promise me that your first son will be surnamed Yang, I won't stop you …"
…
Old Man Yang was crazy. He must have gone crazy.
Li Yi suspected that it might be because he had gone berserk during his cultivation, or because he had been defeated by him and realized that he was only a pseudo-Grandmaster, he suddenly felt that there was no meaning in living and had entered Alzheimer's …
He didn't want to argue with a madman, because he still had a lot of things to do.
As the saying went, help people to the end, and help the Buddha to the west.
He let Yangliuqing sit on the throne, so he had the responsibility to make sure that she sat on the throne steadily.
Now the problem of the national treasury had been solved. A long time ago, Li Yi understood that for the country, the fastest, simplest, and most direct way to make money was of course to confiscate the family, such as the Zhang family. After confiscating a few of them, the national treasury would not be short of money.
Of course, it couldn't be like cutting chives, which was not conducive to the stability of the country.
The reason why those big families existed was that they had a reason to exist, but what the country needed were obedient families.
Removing a few of the biggest tumors with thunderous means would naturally have a deterrent effect on the rest of the people.
Next, he would have to take things step by step.
In fact, it was to repeat the path that MIngzhu had taken.
It included setting up an academy, supporting the children of the poor and poor, and breaking the monopoly of the big families in the officialdom.
The technology of papermaking and printing would also be passed to her, in order to break the monopoly of the big families on books.
The laws of the Wu Kingdom also needed to be further improved. Unlike the Jing Kingdom, they were still in a stable transition period, so they had to be bold and strict in implementing the laws.
In the imperial city these days, a new storm was brewing every day.
The spring breeze of reform could no longer be called a spring breeze. The hurricane of reform almost swept across the imperial city with the momentum of sweeping, and then spread to further places.
In the eyes of the people of the Wu Kingdom, the status of Yangliuqing was close to that of a god, mainly because the preliminary publicity work was done well. Neither Li Xuan nor Zhao Yi could achieve this.
So when her orders were carried out, there wouldn't be too many obstacles at all, which was enough to make any emperor blush with shame.
Li Yi handed the final version of the strategy of empress to Yangliuqing. Next, she only needed to carry it out steadily, and there wouldn't be any big problems.
He walked out of the hall, and in front of him, a figure walked over from afar.
"Bai … Su?" Li Yi asked with some uncertainty.
"Greetings, Gyeong Of Silla." The woman cupped her hands at him casually.
Although a girl changed eighteen times between childhood and womanhood, Bai Su had long passed 18 years old. Li Yi hadn't seen her for only a few months, but he felt that she had changed a lot.
It was very big.
Li Yi put those thoughts aside, looked at her, and asked, "Do you know where your alliance leader went?"
"I don't know." Bai Su shook her head.
Ruyi didn't tell others about his whereabouts, but it was unlikely that he didn't tell Bai Su. Li Yi thought for a moment, then asked, "What are you doing here?"
Bai Su said casually, "To find Lady Qing."
Li Yi waved his hand. Their martial arts were similar, and they both followed Ruyi. Bai Su and Yangliuqing had a good relationship.
In front of a palace, on a large empty space.
Bai Su and Yangliuqing were both panting slightly, their hair a bit messy.
Bai Su wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said, "It seems that being an empress is really busy. The next time we meet, you won't be a match for me."
Yangliuqing looked at her, curled her lips, and said, "You only won by half a move. What is there to be proud of?"
"Half a move is still a win …" Bai Su took off her outer garment and put it to the side. She looked at her, and said, "Next time, it will be one or two moves."
Yangliuqing didn't continue this topic. She looked at Bai Su, and suddenly said, "Stand there and don't move."
Bai Su looked at her, and asked in confusion, "What is it?"
Yangliuqing walked in front of her, looked at her for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Did you find another secret recipe?"
Bai Su lowered her head, and immediately understood the meaning of her words.
She blushed, and asked, "You think so too?"
Yangliuqing nodded.
A smile appeared on Bai Su's face, and she said, "When can I be like the Alliance Leader …"
"Dream on …" Yangliuqing looked at her, and then asked, "When are you leaving?"
Bai Su casually said, "In two days, together with Senior Ruyi."
A hint of envy appeared on Yangliuqing's face, but it quickly disappeared.
…
"The silver needed to build the academy doesn't need to come from the national treasury. The local gentry and rich merchants will be very willing, and even have a lot of surplus. The extra silver needs to be managed by special people, and it will eventually be used on the academy, which can save the national treasury's expenses on the academy …"
When Li Yi was explaining some details to Yangliuqing, he found that her eyes were looking forward, and she was lost in thought.
Li Yi lightly knocked on the table.
Yangliuqing immediately came back to her senses, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Martial Aunt …"
"It's fine …" Li Yi waved his hand, and said, "If you're tired, we can talk about it tomorrow."
"I'm not tired." Yangliuqing shook her head, and looked at him, and said, "Martial Aunt, please continue."
Li Yi nodded, and spoke again.
"We can't blindly suppress the large clans in the capital. It's best to rope in some of them, and form a balance and restriction …"
Li Yi looked at Yangliuqing, who was in a daze again, and knocked on the table again.
She had been very strange these days. She, who had always been more serious than anyone else, had frequently been absent-minded these days.
Li Yi looked at her, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"
"I …" Yangliuqing looked at him, and opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything.
"There's nothing that can't be said." Li Yi looked at her, and said seriously, "No matter what happens, your master and I will stand by your side."
Yangliuqing was silent for a long time, and then she suddenly raised her head, took a deep breath, and looked at Li Yi, and said, "Martial Aunt, I don't want to be the Emperor anymore."
Li Yi was slightly startled.
Yangliuqing looked at him, and gathered her courage, and spoke again, "Martial Aunt, I don't want to be the Emperor, I want to return to Ruyi City, I want to return to the Liu League, I want, I want to stay by my master's side, and learn martial arts from her …"
