"Old Master, the taxes this year have been roughly paid.

"But Qu Yuming, the prefect of Linhai County, reported that the coastal area was hit by a storm, and the land was poor and the tax was not paid. He asked the court to reduce taxes and allocate funds to provide pensions to the victims."

In the imperial study room, Zhang Dong, the eunuch who is already in charge of the ritual supervision, is reporting government affairs to Emperor Longxing.

After stopping to correct the memorial, Emperor Longxing looked at Zhang Dong and sneered: "Linhai County has a salt drying industry, which is a place with heavy taxes. Even if the land is poor, it is impossible to collect taxes.

"It is probably because the prefect colluded with local aristocratic sects to swallow the taxes and tried to deceive me. I will accompany you and send Hongwei to Linhai County to investigate. If it is really cheap as I think, I must collect the taxes."

The so-called Hongwei is Taizu Lin Yuan’s guard organization Hongtuwei, which means to achieve great success.

Today, it has become an important force in protecting the imperial power, and has collected many masters from the people and themselves. The emperor usually referred to this institution as Hongwei.

Zhang Dong knew that this was a huge test for whether he could sit firmly on the Sili Supervisor's handprint, and he felt a little excited in his heart and bowed quickly.

Lin Zhibai, who had just walked into the imperial study room, saw this scene.

"The father looked arrogant, extravagant and lewd, and he was a foolish emperor, but he seemed to be decisive when dealing with government affairs. It was also right. After all, he grew up with the education of an orthodox emperor since childhood.

"It's just a little bit too disregarded by the people and doesn't mention disaster relief at all.

"However, judging from my father's appearance, I don't have to worry about being invaded into the imperial city by the rioters within a few years, so I will have more time to develop.

"Maybe when I grow up a little more and my father's heart will be more important, he will be willing to listen to me. At that time, maybe he can still get out of the current predicament and complete the Great China Restoration."

Thinking in his heart, Lin Zhibai did not disturb him.

When Emperor Long Xing finished speaking and set his eyes on him, he politely said: "See Father."

He is the crown prince of the Eastern Palace. Emperor Longxing promised him to come to see him at will, so he didn't need to report it specifically when he came to the imperial study room.

Zhang Dong and the other eunuchs who served him were leaving behind. Only father and son were left in the imperial study. At this time, Lin Ze approached and took him to the soft collapse to sit down.

He handed Lin Zhibai a pastry, and then smiled and said, "The emperor doesn't have to be too polite. What's the matter with him coming to see his father?"

Lin Ze likes the smart Lin Zhibai very much.

This is up to him.

"Father, my son today heard that when Grandpa Taizu was in great success in martial arts, he had the great power to form an army by one person, and he yearned for it.

"My son wants to imitate the Grandpa of Taizu to practice martial arts. After the martial arts are completed, he will be a general under his father and help him expand his territory."

At this moment, Lin Zhibai looked at Emperor Long Xing with an innocent expression, fully showing a child who seemed to have discovered a brand new toy but admired his father very much.

After being a child for so long, Lin Zhibai has adapted to his identity at this moment and seems extremely natural.

Emperor Long Xing really took this trick. In his opinion, his son was a sign of intelligence and studious, and filial piety to him.

Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I am very relieved to myself if I have this heart."

...

North of the Imperial City, Sword Palace.

Since Lin Zhibai suggested to Emperor Longxing not long ago that he wanted to practice martial arts, he has been brought here by himself.

After leaving the palace maids and eunuchs who were accompanying him, Emperor Long Xing took Lin Zhibai into the place alone.

The decoration here is not luxurious, but it looks extremely elegant. The garden and palace-style buildings are integrated into the grass, trees, and landscapes here, giving people a sense of exquisiteness in the painting.

Taking Lin Zhibai to the main hall, Emperor Long Xing said, "Son of the Emperor, this place was the place where Taizu practiced in his later years. The essence of his lifelong martial arts is also stored here. If you want to practice martial arts, then you have to come here."

Taizu Lin Yuan was already a legendary master when he was a teenager and had the power to form an army by one person.

On the way to the imperial study room, Lin Zhibai and Zhang Hai chatted and learned that after his Taizu was promoted to the Supreme Emperor at the age of 60, he devoted himself to practicing and lived to the age of 160 before he died.

It is hard to imagine what kind of situation he has practiced martial arts in the past years.

Hearing Emperor Long Xing's introduction, some yearning and expectation emerged in Lin Zhibai's heart.

"His Majesty."

When he arrived at the main hall, he saw a handsome young man wearing a long brocade dress with gold background and gold-patterned brocade dress, standing respectfully in front of the hall with a little girl wearing the same brocade dress with cloud patterns, holding her fists to salute the two.

"Arin, long time no see."

Emperor Longxing greeted the handsome young man gently, with a kind of closeness from the bottom of his heart in his eyes.

After saying that, he looked at Lin Zhibai who was beside him and introduced: "Son of the Emperor, this is your Emperor Lin Lin, come and see you."

The Dahua royal family is divided into two veins, one of which is the vein passed down by Taizu Lin Yuan, which is the orthodox royal family and inherits the throne.

Another lineage is Lin Lin's lineage, which originated from the cousins ​​of Taizu conquering the world together. They inherited Taizu's martial arts and existed as an important fundamental force to protect the royal family.

As the most outstanding martial arts talent in this generation, Lin Lin grew up with Lin Ze, the emperor of Longxing. At this moment, he inherited the position of the head of the clan mansion. He is usually responsible for taking care of the Sword Palace and being the lord of the Sword Palace.

After Lin Zhibai bowed to Lin Lin, Emperor Long Xing introduced this origin.

"I've seen His Highness the Crown Prince."

As an elder, Lin Lin received a gift from Lin Zhibai, and then returned the gift as a minister.

After that, Lin Lin smiled and introduced the little girl around him, who was about five years old: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, this is the little girl Lin Qing, who is the most outstanding disciple of the Sword Palace. The next Lord of the Sword Palace has now practiced for two years and has penetrated the three meridians."

Be a good player by following the twelve serious principles.

At this moment, Lin Qing had already penetrated the eight extraordinary meridians into the three meridians. Although he had not reached the level of a master, he was far beyond the level of an ordinary skilled player. He had reached such a level after two years of practice. Even if he was not as good as Taizu, he was not far away.

No wonder Lin Qing was directly designated as the next palace lord of this Sword Palace at such a young age.

"Minister Lin Qing has met His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The little girl was a little nervous at this time and hurriedly gave a blessing.

Emperor Long Xing looked at the little girl and knew it in his heart.

This is to introduce your own prince to the partner.

Forget it, the two of them have already had five matches, and the other party has such excellent conditions. It is not bad to be a childhood sweetheart for their son. When they grow up, they can take a fancy to the princess.

This can also win over Lin Lin and let the other party teach his prince with all his heart.

He immediately praised: "I am so outstanding at such a young age. I will be called the next palace lord of the Sword Palace and I will enjoy the position of Princess. When I look back, I will write an order."

The little girl who was still a little ignorant was pulled by her ecstatic father to thank her.

Then, the few people stopped talking and entered the Sword Palace Master Hall under the leadership of Lin Lin.
