The reform of the foreign vassal states was indeed targeted at the beginning of the foreign vassal states with local rule, but with the advancement of the reform, both active and passive, it has changed.

Li Junwei personally rushed to the north and presided over the reform of the foreign vassal states. The activity changed a little in the middle because the targets were constantly expanding. At first, it was only targeted by the foreign vassal aristocracy, but then some places had bad reputations and were rampant and rampant internal vassal aristocracy, and then expanded to the entire aristocratic group. This was already a cleansing of the imperial aristocratic system.

A large number of nobles were seized, dismissed, demoted, and punished. At the same time, some lower-level nobles and officers who were enterprising and made contributions were promoted.

This was an improvement of the aristocratic system, which was supported by the imperial people and improved the image of the aristocrats among the imperial people.

The end of the trend of reforming the foreign vassal state was to deal with the slaves who were sued by Baghel, Naya and others, which was also an explanation to the people of the empire. In fact, in the spring of the 32nd year of the empire, when the reform of the inner Xinjiang region began, Naya and others' judgment was concluded.

All crimes have been forgiven and returned to freedom for those who have not committed violent crimes, but have not caused death, and have not committed crimes against ordinary people.

Naya and seven others had committed several violent crimes, some of which could even be rebelled and caused a large number of casualties. According to the law, they were sentenced to death, but Emperor Li Junhua used his power to pardon his death penalty after discussing with the Supreme Court of the Empire, but exiled him and sent him to Xijin.

The only one who stayed was Bagher, but anyone with discerning eyes already knew that he would not die.

"Mr. Bagel, please come in. Have you eaten? Do you want to eat something first?"

"Are you injured? Why don't you speak? Has someone tortured you?"

In front of the palace gate, the prince Li Zhaoji brought a few brothers to greet Bagel. The children talked so much that Bagel felt a little embarrassed.

"No, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern." Bagel saluted everyone.

"It's okay, it's okay. Do you know? The people say you are a great hero." The children chattered and took Bagel to the imperial study room.

"Your Highness, the Emperor, Prince Yu, and Prince Cheng are all inside. If you want to talk about the important matters, you cannot go in. Prince Yu gave instructions. After seeing Mr. Bagel, you should go to school. Let the Huye send a few to school." The attendant said carefully.

“We took a day off.”

The attendant said, "Prince Yu said that doesn't count."

Li Zhaocheng pulled Li Zhaoji and greeted the others: "Run, go to the emperor's aunt's place, my father dare not go, run..."

Several children scattered, leaving only the attendant in the door in a mess.

Bagel was introduced to the imperial study room, and Li Junhua and two brothers sat at the table and discussed something. Among the three, Li Junwei was most familiar with Bagel and took the initiative to stand up: "Come on, Mr. Bagel, come and sit down. How does it feel to be free?"

"It's always been beautiful." Bagel said with a smile.

Li Junwei asked Bagel to sit down and said, "The emperor has pardoned your crimes, and this matter is over. But the emperor has a few questions to ask you."

"Bagel, do you regret it?" Li Junhua asked.

"Repent." Bagel said, beyond the expectations of the three brothers.

Li Junhua smiled: "What do you regret?"

Bagher said: "Once upon a time, I did some violent things with Naya, but Naya did more than me, and too much than me. At that time, I thought that the law of the empire had no effect, and the nobles and senior officials of the empire were in harmony. Later, I realized that the law was useful, and the empire always had the spirit of the rule of law. After this time, I felt the sincerity of the royal family, and I regretted some of the wrong things I did. Maybe I should have come to Shenjing earlier. At least His Majesty and His Highness Yu are worthy of trust.

What is great about the royal family is not only about merit, but also about humanity.”

"We can understand this as he is flattering." Li Junwei said with a smile.

"I didn't, I said all the heartfelt words." Bagel stood up and explained.

"Don't be excited, just kidding." Li Junwei reached out and patted Bagher on the shoulder.

Li Junhua asked: "Bagel, you are free now, what are your next plans?"

Bagher hesitated. He had not considered his future before coming out today. Lin Junhong said: "Your hometown is in Beijing. I believe that with your current prestige, it is easy to become a member of parliament."

"No, I don't want to do this." Bagel immediately objected: "I don't want to sit in the office, be overwhelmed by paperwork, nor do I want to have a verbal battle with the rich and powerful people. I just want to go to the inner region and see what's going on now."

"Then you are very busy. The serfs and herdsmen from the outer vassals have just gained their freedom, and they have too many places to need your help," said Lin Junhong.

Bagher shook his head: "What I fight for for them is freedom and equality. If they get it, it has nothing to do with me."

"I heard from Naya that you once said that after the incident of not returning to the slave ends, you want to speak out for the workers." Li Junwei asked.

Bagel nodded: "Yes, my brother is a coal miner. I know it's not easy for workers."

Li Junwei said: "Now there is a chance. The emperor decided to popularize trade union organizations in various parts of the empire. Xijin lacks talents. If you are willing to go, we can arrange it for you."

"I do." Bagel replied immediately.

Li Junwei smiled and said, "There are conditions."

"Be a secret stake in the Security Bureau?" Bagel asked.

Li Junwei laughed: "You are the only one? You can't do such a job as a secret stake."

"Do you know Situ Lan?" Li Junwei asked.

"I know that she and I are classmates from Guihua Hall, and have given me a lot of funding and help," said Bagher.

Li Junwei said: "Situ Lan is the third lady of the Situ family, the boss of the Beijing-Tianjin leather industry, and she is very infatuated with you. Since you came to Shenjing and lobbying for you everywhere, why don't you marry her? How about this condition?"

"No, no, we are not..."

Li Junwei said: "Do you think it doesn't matter anymore? Now people all over the country know that Miss Situ has deep roots in love with you. How can you let down the kindness of a beauty?"

"Your Highness, marriage is personal freedom..."

Li Junhua said: "Of course, King Yu just wants to be the old man, just treat him as a random couple."

"It's personal freedom, but your Bagher's marriage is very worrying. Have you liked a girl over the years? You treat your career as everything. You can't be a bachelor for the rest of your life. You can't find someone you like, so just find someone you like.

What you do is just, and many passionate young people will be inspired by you in the future, but they cannot give people the impression that people who are selfless and do justice are all poor and poor. Since you can accept help from others, you will definitely not hate it. So... you can make a living."

Li Junhua said, "Okay, Bagel, go, King Yu is just giving you a suggestion. He has a principle in being a human being and never lets down women who are affectionate and kind to him."

After Bagher left, Li Junhua asked: "Did you say he sees our intention?"

"Of course." Li Junwei said: "This person is very persistent, but not stupid."

The case of Buren Slave gave the emperor a revelation, that is, the sufferings of the lower-class people are easily supported by the whole society, and when public opinion is guided, no problematic class can stop this torrent.

Last time, the entire foreign vassal was restructured by using the struggle for equality and freedom for the unreturned slaves. This time, the trade union fought for rights and interests for workers to deal with those capitalists with bad intentions.

"I won't care about anything else. I'll make up this girl for him." Li Junwei said as he was about to get up to get involved in Bagel's emotional problems, but was stopped by Lin Junhong: "There is still a serious matter to talk about."

Since Li Junwei returned, he has restored his status as a minister of the ruler, but he has the attitude of not participating in government affairs if he can participate. Sometimes, he does not even participate in the State Council, and even if he participates, he rarely speaks. Rather than being a minister of the ruler, he is a policy adviser to the emperor, because he will only express his own views in private informal occasions. These views will eventually become the emperor's proposition.

Lin Junhong said: "The Great Vizier of the Ottoman sent his son as a special envoy. The meaning is very clear, and he will end the war with Tsarist Russia, Habsburg and other countries."

"What then?" Li Junwei is the governor of the government in charge of diplomacy and overseas affairs. Although this is his scope of work, he doesn't care about the specific work, and this matter has been discussed long ago.

"Let us assist in peace talks is one aspect and also resolve some disputes with the empire."

"Egypt?" Li Junwei frowned and said, "This problem has been solved."

Civil strife in Egypt is still continuing, but the Egyptian issue, especially the role played by the empire in Egypt, has been resolved.

With the end of the war between France and other countries and the empires matching it, more and more European countries intervened in Egypt, and their goal was actually the important channel of the Suez Canal, an important East-West, and they wanted to get some benefits in it.

The Netherlands and Venice played the most important role, and now France has also made a fuss. These countries support Egypt's religious forces or the remnants of Mamluk to fight the Ottomans, resulting in the Ottoman Empire's retreat. However, the empire, in turn, began to support the Ottomans, especially when the Suez plan was successfully restarted.

Provide low-interest loans, assist in training the army, and support advanced weapons. There are many methods and the results are also good.

"It's not Egypt, it's the issue of the entire Middle East, especially the Arabian Peninsula." Lin Junhong said, pointing to the map: "The Ottomans mean to agree on the sphere of influence with us so that the two countries will no longer have any disputes."

More than a decade ago, the Empire conquered the largest challenger in the Indian Ocean, the Sultanate of Muscat, and seized the land of the Port of Aden and the Ottomans on the African continent in the war with the Ottomans. The Empire had its own land in the Arabian Peninsula and the Persian Gulf, but this was the Ottoman sphere of influence.

The Ottomans made such a request because the empire continued to expand on the Arabian Peninsula.

In the early years, the empire had colonial expansion on the Arabian Peninsula. First, it acquired the Port of Muscat on loan, supporting a Sudan regime to rule the Omani people and the Omani people. But soon, the empire completely bought Muscat. Three years ago, a rebellion by the Omani people broke the old order and simply banned the puppet regime. The empire directly ruled the local area.

The empire's method is very simple, which is to immigrate, constantly immigrate to the Arabian Peninsula, and migrate the indigenous people away. For the Omans under their rule, the empire would move them to Basra, which was the port where the Ottomans opened to the empire. In recent years, the scale of opening up has become larger and larger. The empire has already had the power to invest in the local area, and the capital of the Ottoman local lords and officials also joined in, allowing the industry and commerce of Basra Port to develop rapidly. There is a serious personal dependence in the Mesopotamian Basin ruled by the Ottoman Empire. The introduction of the Omans can provide labor for industry and commerce.

At the same time, the empire's African Development Company and the East African Governor-General District of Portugal were also willing to recruit Omanis to work in East Africa to improve the local population structure.

After the empire chose to re-support the Ottoman rule in Egypt, they assisted them in establishing new troops. One of the most common aspects was to organize mercenaries to enter the Ottoman army system. Most of these mercenaries came from the inland areas of the Arabian Peninsula, and those Bedouin people who lived as robbers.

With the increase in Arabia and the increasing sphere of influence expanding inland, the Ottoman Empire was alerted.

The current Ottoman Empire does not have the strength to drive the empire out of the Arabian Peninsula and the Persian Gulf, but it does not want to be eroded step by step. If the Neizhi area (inland and coastal areas of the Persian Gulf) on the Arabian Peninsula is lost, it will be lost, but Hanzhi and Yemen's two provinces cannot be lost. To put it bluntly, Hanzhi only has more than 100,000 uncontrolled Bedouin people, which are simply the negative assets of the Ottomans. The two provinces of Hanzhi and Yemen have two million people, and the two holy cities of the Tianfang Sect, cannot be lost.

On the issue of geopolitics in the Gulf, Li Junhua has always believed in Li Junwei's judgment. This is also the most important reason why he left behind.

"In the Aden region, we can give in. I have stayed there, and the local indigenous people are very difficult to deal with. But in the Arabian Peninsula, we have to move forward as much as possible until the Ottoman Empire cannot accept it." Li Junwei gave his own point of view.
