Begging for mercy

The other party spoke well and answered fluently, and Li Shengxi was satisfied. Then he talked to the other party about the issue of governing Hongyin, and the other party also had his own ideas.

She didn't deliberately recruit. Because it was completely unnecessary, just like she didn't tell the people around her that she had ambitions for a big position. Because when the time was right, they would understand. And by that time, those who sincerely followed her would naturally think of Dali.

Help, after all, she doesn't have stubborn people like King Li and Guo Sun around her.

"Everyone involved has been dealt with. It's just that Hongyin City is not at peace, and the prefect needs to be more careful." Li Shengxi warned in a cryptic manner.

The magistrate deeply believed it, and after nodding, he put forward his own idea: "In the past, many merchants in Hongyin were implicated, and His Highness has eliminated many traitors. From the perspective of the humble minister, it is better to take this opportunity to redraft the plan.

Household registration.”

Since then, everyone can clearly understand who is more and who is missing in the city.

Li Shengxi had had this idea before, but now that she heard the other party propose it, her smile became even wider, and she said again: "Now Hongyin is in ruins and waiting for prosperity. Since we have to reorganize the household registration, it is better to re-grant the land."

The smuggling incident took away most of Hongyin's officials and merchants, confiscated many properties, broke up Hongyin's original interest groups, and destroyed Hongyin's intricate network of relationships. Today's Hongyin is a brand new Hongyin.

Re-granting farmland and distributing benefits to the people can not only appease the people, but also revive production, killing two birds with one stone.

Seeing this, the prefect also agreed.

The two of them formulated many policies, and it wasn't until night fell that Li Shengsheng saw them off.

"It's time for reform on the border." Li Shengxi said softly.

After my brother ascended the throne, he took drastic measures against the imperial court, but because he was beyond the reach of his whip and the centipede insect was dead, he could not stand still. The Mu clan, the four kings, and the remaining forces were scattered, and they were not aware of it.

It just so happened that she took advantage of the opportunity to suppress the rebellious officials and traitors to reform the imperial court. Since she wanted to become a powerful person, she naturally could not stop and defend her status.

"Hongyin is the first step. The road is still long. Your Highness, there is no need to worry." Rong Zhi stood beside Li Shengxi and smiled softly.

After settling in the newly appointed prefect, Hongyin welcomed another uninvited guest. At that time, Li Shengxi was carefully checking the household registration with the newly appointed prefect when he heard someone spreading the news that he was coming to see Li

Heavy attack.

"Whoever it is, ask him to wait aside." Li Shengxi raised his hand.

"He is the prince of Pingguo." Liu Jin spoke slowly.

Li Shengxi's smile paused for a moment, "It's easy to settle him down. I'll go see him soon."

Liu Jin nodded and retreated.

After Li Shengxi settled the affairs in hand, he went to see Shen Yunsong.

Shen Yunsong is seventeen years old this year, the same age as Li Xun. Different from his father's bravery, he is much weaker and a real weak scholar. Because of this, although he set off earlier than the new prefect, he had to arrive several days later.

"Meet my aunt." Shen Yunsong saluted respectfully.

"No courtesy." Li Shengxi raised her hand, and after she sat down, she ordered for refreshments.

Chen Yunsong sat down.

"Why are you here? If you want to come to Hongyin for fun, it's a bad time for you. I'm busy these days, so I'm afraid I don't have time to play with you." Li Shengxi said with a smile.

She also understood Shen Yunsong's purpose of coming, but there was no room for concession in Shen Jichuan's matter. If Shen Yunsong was a smart child, he would know her attitude after hearing her words.

"Auntie, I'm not here to visit the border." Shen Yunsong looked serious.

Li Shengxi's face turned slightly pale, but she still joked patiently: "What are you here for? You're not here to join me, are you? I don't dare to take you in, and my uncle won't let you go."

"I didn't do it to join the army."

"You kid, do you miss me? It's a pity that I really don't have time to accompany you. In fact, the scenery in Hongyin is quite nice. I'll ask Ah Xun to go out and play with you."

"Auntie, I told you, I didn't come here to play. Auntie, you are always full of ideas. You know why I came here, don't you?" Shen Yunsong raised his eyes.

Li Shengxi's smile completely disappeared.

Shen Yunsong knelt in front of Li Shengxi and said, "Please save my uncle's life."

Li Shengxi glanced at Liu Jin, who understood, and immediately stepped forward to help Shen Yunsong, "What is the prince doing? They are all members of his own family. If the prince does this, doesn't it mean he is born into a family?"

Shen Yunsong broke away from Liu Jin's hand and knelt down again.

"Yun Song, what Shen Jichuan violated is the national law. It's not me who wants to kill him." Li Shengxi looked at the little nephew in front of him. In fact, before Shen Jize died, this nephew was very close to him and followed him every day. Ah Xun and the others called themselves "aunt", but until Shen Jize's death, he never called her "aunt" again.

He always addressed her as "Your Highness."

Li Shengxi knew that Shen Yunsong was blaming her, and she was indeed guilty.

Today, when he suddenly spoke, Li Shengxi naturally knew what he was thinking.

The uncle's move was really good. He knew that brother's move was not going to work, so he came to look for her.

"Aunt, I know my uncle is at fault, but he is my uncle after all, Aye's brother, your cousin. Blood is thicker than water, nothing better than this. My grandfather is already sixty years old, and he only has two sons. "Jesus is dead, can Your Highness bear to see your grandfather lose another son, and no one will fulfill his filial piety after a hundred years?"

"Yunsong, do you know that if we talk about national law, Shen Jichuan's crime will affect the entire family?" Li Shengxi raised her hand gently, signaling the people serving beside her to go out, and she glanced at Liu Jin again. , "You should go out first."

"I know, I don't dare to ask for anything, but I beg my aunt to spare his life, even if he is detained in prison until death. Aunt, there are already enough people who have died, why bother to add one more person. My uncle is in prison , I will definitely repent day and night to forgive my sins. Your Highness has always valued love and justice."

"Is this the use of my friendship for you? It is precisely because enough people have died that he should die. Detention to death? Yunsong, do you know what smuggling means?" Li Shengxi interrupted. After listening to Shen Yunsong's chatter, her voice was gentle, but her eyes were extremely cold.

"Do you know how many families were destroyed and people were killed behind smuggling? How many officers and soldiers died on the river because of arresting them, and how many died while avoiding the pursuit of officers and soldiers? Do you think that only gold and silver goods are smuggled? Still There are countless women and children, and how many people are involved? And the chaos caused by this that day, do you know how many innocent people died. The guilty should repent, but not all His sins can be forgiven even if he confesses. He is carrying the blood of countless people, why do you ask me to let him go?"
