After staying in Crescent City for two days, Li Changxian and his party returned to Wanling County by train.

Compared to Crescent City, Li Changxian prefers Wanling County, not only because it is the place where he made his fortune, but also because there are so many familiar people and things waiting for him.

And the most important thing is that Wanling County is a county without city walls, with spacious roads, developed commerce, and people living and working in peace and contentment.

Emperor Jianxing did not follow Li Changxian to Wanling County, because the sound of "King of Wanling County" when he first arrived woke him up.

He didn't want to live under anyone else's care, so instead of following Li Changxian to Wanling County, he might as well stay in Crescent City.

Because he knew that no matter where he went in the future, he would probably look the same, so out of sight, out of mind, he simply didn't leave when he arrived at Crescent City.

Li Changxian did not neglect Emperor Jianxing and others because he did not go to Wanling County. He first let them live in the city lord's mansion, and then asked people to build a palace near Crescent City, intending to use this palace as Emperor Jianxing's future.

place of retirement.

Emperor Jianxing was very satisfied. He had this plan in the first place. He no longer wanted to seize power with his younger brothers. He just wanted to retire here and live an unrestrained life.

But the ministers around him didn't think so. Emperor Jianxing had a palace in Wanling County, and Wanling County's finances subsidized him, but they, the ministers, had no one to take care of them. After arriving in Crescent City,

On the first day, they not only had to rent a house, but also had to take care of everything themselves.

After a few days, some people finally couldn't hold on any longer and began to escape from Emperor Jianxing's sight.

One person, two people, until finally a large number of people left, Emperor Jianxing was surprised to find that apart from the queen and concubines, the only people around him were Maozheng and another minister.

This minister is the queen's father-in-law. Everyone else can leave, but he cannot leave.

Maozheng, on the other hand, had troubles that he couldn't tell. He went round and round and finally returned to the starting point, which was not even as good as the original Lingnan Fucheng.

"Mao Aiqing, everyone else has left, why don't you follow?"

Maozheng was speechless after hearing this. He also wanted to leave, but he couldn't save his face for the moment and wanted to wait and see.

Who knew that when he was like this, other people would fall into pieces and scatter, and all he would be waiting for would be loneliness.

"Your Majesty, I really don't want to leave you!"

"Mao Aiqing, I know you are loyal, but the situation is different now. If you stay with me any longer, you will only waste your good years. You should go with Li Aiqing."

"I will not blame you, nor will I resent anyone, not even Li Aiqing. It is my bad fate that has dragged down all the ministers."

"Go over and tell Li Changxian that no matter whether he rebels or plans to separate his country in the future, as long as he treats me and my family well, I will support him unconditionally."

"Ah, Your Majesty, you also know that Li Changxian wants to rebel?"

Emperor Jianxing smiled bitterly and said: "I am not blind. I have already seen clearly in Crescent City in the past few days. Li Changxian will definitely rebel."

"However, Li Changxian has managed Wanling County so well, much better than my imperial brothers, so I can rest assured that the Jin Dynasty can be handed over to him."

In fact, in his heart, he was more grateful that Li Changxian didn't kill him. Of course, it was impossible to kill him. After all, he was still useful now.

Maybe it will be possible in the future, but when Li Changxian takes over the world, he probably won't be taken seriously.

In other words, they no longer care about killing him, but will continue to support him and regard him as a model of Li Changxian's benevolent governance in the world.

This is much better than letting him fall into the hands of his younger brothers. At least he is free now. He can go wherever he wants and play how he wants. No one will restrict him, let alone frame him.

Of course, this is only within Wanling County. He cannot go to other places at all, and he is unwilling to go. After all, he lives and works in peace and contentment here in Wanling County, and there is no crime.

If you go to other places, you may not be able to guarantee your life safety, but you may also be escorted to the capital.

How good he is living in Crescent City. He puts on the clothes of ordinary residents and walks around the city. If he is tired from walking, he can drink tea and listen to songs in the teahouse. It is much more comfortable than he is in the palace.

No one knew him, and of course he didn't know anyone else. He could just go out and sit down and chat with people, and he could become familiar with them.

This was the life he longed for, and his queen and concubines slowly adapted to it.

Soon, the government order from Wanling County came to him. All school-age children must go to school and are not allowed to graduate until they grow up. Moreover, it is mandatory.

The same is true for girls. What is even more surprising is that after graduation, girls can work in the government, earn the same salary as men, and enjoy the same life as men. No one dares to stand up and accuse them.

For a time, all the minor children of Emperor Jianxing went to school, even the little maids and eunuchs who followed them.

A large number of people left, making the queen and concubines unable to sit still. When they were sending their children to school, they saw a notice recruiting teachers outside the school. When they tried to sign up, they were admitted.

They can also be teachers, have jobs, and rely on their own hands to support themselves like everyone else.

Suddenly, many of them began to cry.

Some older palace maids and eunuchs are careful. Child labor is prohibited in Wanling County, and all employees must sign an employment contract with their masters. During the employment period, the masters are not allowed to beat or scold the employees at will, otherwise they will face the consequences of Wanling.

County's most severe punishment.

Of course, the employee could apply to leave if he was dissatisfied with his master, so soon many maids and eunuchs left around Emperor Jianxing.

Some of the remaining people were just useless, and they might not be able to find a job even if they went out, so they had to stay with Emperor Jianxing and his family.

Some young concubines began to have conflicts. They didn't know where they learned the new trend of thought, and began to believe in feminism. They were unwilling to accompany Emperor Jianxing, an old man, and began to yearn for an independent and free life.

When he was not paying attention, some of the young concubines also ran away and never came back. Only the queen of the same age and a few old concubines who were old and beautiful were left with him.

Finally, Emperor Jianxing was discouraged and said, "Let's go, let's all go! Let everyone who should leave and those who shouldn't leave leave, so that he can be clean in the future."

In contrast to the increasingly miserable life of Emperor Jianxing's family, the Li Mansion in Wanling County is full of people coming and going every day.

Not only were acquaintances who came to visit Li's house, there were also many children, and most of them were orphans that Li Xiangyang took in back then. They have all grown up now.
