The news of the Shazhou rebellion has reached the capital.

Li Ling did not comment on this. He has lived at home since the end of the war with Xibai state.

He has been missing for a year. Naturally, he should spend a good time with his family.

Today, Li Ling is drinking tea with her father Li Xingfeng at home.

Li Xingfeng looked sad.

"Father, what's the matter?"

"Alas, I want to resign and go home." Li Xingfeng said anxiously.

"Why?"

"Your Majesty ordered to increase taxes for the people. Now there are complaints everywhere in Kyushu."

"This..."

"Ordinary people, farmers and rich officials increase taxes twice and ten times! This... How can there be such a holy decree?"

Although Li Xingfeng was the prime minister, he also persuaded Zhu Yujian.

However, because this imperial edict was ordered by Zhu Youjian, even if he was the prime minister, there was no way.

Therefore, Li Xingfeng felt that something was wrong, so he wanted to resign and return home.

"Now, there has been a man-made rebellion in Shazhou. The leader of the rebel army there is Li Zicheng. He cheered and gathered followers."

Li Ling said, "I think the emperor is a little abnormal. At first, I thought he was manipulated by someone, but when I look carefully, it seems that he was not manipulated by someone."

"Yes, when he first ascended the throne, his majesty loved the people like a son and vowed to be a good emperor. I really don't know why he became like this."

In fact, not only does Li Xingfeng not understand, but also many officials and people do not understand.

The emperor collected so much money that even if he got so much money, the emperor was also a mortal. How much could he spend even if he ate and drank?

Even because of the loss of the previous war, it would not need so much money.

"According to the accounts of the Ministry of household, half of the increased tax went into the private treasury of the royal family, and the other half went into the Ministry of military!"

"The army?"

"Yes, it's mainly for General Zhu sin and your nine prohibitions..."

Although Li Ling has the name of nine prohibitions, he has not managed it at ordinary times, so he doesn't know how much military spending he has allocated to himself.

"Son, I advise you for your father to resign the official of nine prohibitions."

"And why?"

"It's better to get away as soon as possible before your majesty sends you to suppress the rebels."

That's what they say, but Li Ling knows that Zhu Youjian won't force himself to do it if Li Ling doesn't want to.

At the same time, Li Ling thought of a sentence.

When he was in the palace before, Zhu Youjian asked himself, hoping that he would forgive him in the future?

What do you want to forgive?

Is this the tax increase?

Then Li Ling asked, "father, will the anti army become a climate?"

"Although the imperial court will send troops to counter the rebellion, but..."

"But what?"

"But if the tax increases all the time, the rebels will not be able to kill them."

Li Xingfeng is not an idiot. He has read books for so many years. Of course, he knows why there are people against him.

If the source is not eradicated, the rebels will only kill more and more.

It's just that things are not making a big deal now, so everyone thinks there's no problem.

If we wait until it gets big, I'm afraid even the capital will be lost.

At that time, the Jin and Yuan Dynasties squeezed the people too badly, so did the Taizu emperor raise his arms and call for rebellion.

I'm really afraid that the Yan Ming Dynasty will follow the old path of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties.

Li Ling's idea was not so direct. He was just wondering why things had become like this.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem to be so.

Is it difficult for Zhu Youjian to say anything?

Combined with the state of Zhu Youjian recently, Li Ling knows that there must be something wrong with him.

Suddenly Li Ling thought of a word.

"Father, how many states are there in the world?"

"Ah?" Li Xingfeng was stunned. "Isn't this... Common sense? I told you since I was a father that there are nine states inside and eight outside. There are 17 states in the world."

"Why not eighteen States?"

"How could it be eighteen States? Each state has an area that can become an independent country. If there were an eighteenth state, how could people not know?"

Yes, that's common sense.

But Li Ling still felt something was wrong.

But now these things are like chaos, so that Li Ling doesn't know what to do.

Li Xingfeng is ready to resign and return home.

Li Ling won't stop his father. Although he thinks Zhu Youjian must have something to hide, he can't see what he thinks at the moment.

After drinking tea with his father.

Li Ling saw an eagle flying over.

This eagle has a very powerful momentum!

Although it was only a flash, Li Ling could feel that it was definitely not an ordinary Eagle!

Looking at its cultivation, it seems to be the peak of extreme state!

A polar eagle?

This really makes Li Ling a little curious.

Then Li Ling flew up and chased the eagle directly.

The eagle seemed to see Li Ling chasing himself, but it did not accelerate or slow down, but flew in one direction.

In order to find out, Li Ling kept up with it.

Li Ling wants to know what the eagle is going to do.

Unconsciously, Li Ling ran after it for three days!

The eagle seems to want to lead Li Ling to a place!

Finally, the eagle landed in Tianshan!

Tianshan is a mountain range somewhere in Hongzhou.

But it's also a forbidden area.

It is said that the first unified dynasty in Kyushu is called the tianqin Dynasty, and the tianqin Dynasty started from Tianshan Mountain.

The place of Longxing, where various dynasties started, has been a forbidden area of the imperial court since ancient times.

So Tianshan is just a place name for ordinary people.

Looking at the eagle landing in Tianshan, Li Ling passed.

Tianshan Mountains are rolling, towering and majestic. Standing on the peaks, you can naturally see beautiful rivers and mountains.

It's a pity that you can't appreciate such a magnificent place.

Standing on the mountain peak, Li Ling saw the eagle enter a valley somewhere.

He also followed curiously.

As soon as he entered the valley, Li Ling found that there was a strong spirit of killing.

What is the reason for this kind of killing?

Li Ling watched the eagle step on a skeleton.

The skull may have dried up for many years, and there are many dead bones next to it!

If you guessed right, there should have been a big battle here.

Moving forward, you can already feel that there is a powerful array, which is so powerful that ordinary practitioners can't get close at all.

Suddenly, Li Ling heard the eagle speak.

"I've brought him here. You're right. He really followed me for three days and nights."

As the eagle finished speaking, two old people suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

One is wearing gold helmets and yellow armour, and the other is holding the law card of protecting the country!

"Li Zailin, you're here at last."
