"She is still in Lingyin Temple, protected by Princess Yufeng. No one dares to touch her, but this matter is not a long-term solution after all." Qiu Mochi said.

"Zongzheng's government is holding on... It should not be for the sake of national law itself. What are their little plans?" Lin Su said.

"You are indeed very discerning!" Qiu Mochi explained...

The Zongzheng Mansion is currently challenging His Majesty openly or secretly!

The so-called Zongzheng Mansion represents the interests of the entire royal family, and almost all the princes stand behind it.

The five princes with the Ji surname, the King of the East, the King of the North, the King of Patrons, the King of Good Luck, and the King of Luyang, are princes with the blood of the ancestors of the Ji family flowing in their bones. They are different from the kings with different surnames such as the King of the South and King of Thunder.

These royal palaces have been rewarded with large amounts of land for hundreds of years, and they have gathered forces from all over the world, almost forming a country of their own. Ji Shang did not dare to touch them. After Ji Shang fell, they were not implicated, the throne was preserved, and the power was still there.

But the newly appointed His Majesty did not tolerate them.

Wasn't there a tax reform last time? All privileges were abolished, including the privileges of the prince!

As soon as this move came out, all the princes stopped doing it!

As their representative, Zong Zhengfu also quits!

They insist that the ancestral laws cannot be changed, the ancestral laws are clear, and it has been a long-standing practice that the clan does not pay taxes. Now you, a newly appointed emperor, want to attack your own people first. How is it possible?

The tax law has been issued, and the "Shipai" trick that Lin Su used previously has also been launched. The literati group was subdued by one move. They were no longer the main force blocking the tax system, and the main force was replaced by the clan.

Although the tax law is forcibly introduced, all the major royal palaces currently oppose it collectively. Governments at all levels are unable to do anything when faced with the millions and millions of acres of farmland owned by the royal palaces. They have become the biggest obstacle to tax reform.

Of course, the tax laws currently issued are legal, and they dare not openly rebel. Therefore, Zongzheng Mansion posed a difficult problem to His Majesty: You say something, and we will say it. The national law stipulates that traitors from all nine tribes will be punished together. You first put these people to death.

Now that all national laws have been fulfilled, let’s talk about tax laws!

This is for His Majesty the General!

Li Yangxin shook his head gently: "This is one of the reasons, and there is another reason! Sixteen senior officials of the State Affairs Hall were arrested, and the property left behind is a big piece of fat. These princes are eyeing this fat. They

I wish I could kill all the nine tribes of these people so that they can get a piece of the pie..."

Zhang Haoran shook his head: "It's not that simple. I suspect they have a deeper conspiracy..."

Everyone's eyes were focused on his face...

Zhang Haoran's current official status is one level higher than theirs. The higher the official position, the higher the level he can access. What did Zhang Haoran interpret through the incident in Zongzheng Mansion?

Zhang Haoran said under the eyes of the brothers: "Actually, this is not what I saw. It was said by Qu Wendong Qu Ge. He said that Zongzheng Mansion insisted on killing all nine tribes at the same time, and pointed the finger at Lu Youwei and Song Du's wife.

The purpose is to tear His Majesty and King Wen apart!"

Everyone was shocked at the same time...

Tear His Majesty and King Wen apart!

Just seven words, it is an extremely shocking game that no one can ignore!

They are also considered to be in high positions, and they also know the current overall situation of Da Cang...

In the Great Cang situation, His Majesty and King Wen are the two super fixed stars. His Majesty decides the court, Lin Su decides the four realms, one is outside and the other is inside. Even if the Emperor comes, he has to weigh things up...

This is based on the full trust and close cooperation between Lin Su and His Majesty. If these two people disagree, it will be a disaster for Da Cang!

So, is there any way to tear apart their relationship?

This is what Zong Zhengfu is doing right now!

According to national law, Lu Youwei must die!

Your Majesty is the natural enforcer of national laws!

In other words, if Your Majesty wants to secure the throne, you need to execute Lu Youwei and Song Du's principal wife.

And can Lin Su agree?

Lu Youwei is his woman, how can he watch his woman being executed with his own eyes? Song Du's first wife is Lin's mother's sister, how can he watch his mother's only relative die?

Your Majesty will be in a dilemma, Lin Su will be in a dilemma.

"What Brother Zhang said is ground-breaking and clear. Regardless of whether you brothers believe it or not, I believe it!" Qiu Mochi said: "I have been checking the past case files of sixteen senior officials of the State Affairs Hall these days, and I only found out about the court.

How deep has the water reached? Zongzheng Mansion and the five princes behind it may really have the intention to redefine the country..."

Even if you are facing your most trusted brother, you can still only understand some words. He did not say "rebellion and rebellion", but "redefine the country"!

But everyone also understands it.

The Zongzheng Mansion is a freak, representing the interests of the royal family and essentially a representative of the clan. However, behind it are the five great princes and the various families who have come together because of these five princes. These forces have evolved over thousands of years.

, has already penetrated into all aspects of society, including political circles, military circles, business circles, spiritual paths, major holy families, and temples...

When Ji Shang was in power, they were very honest. Why? Ji Shang gave them enough privileges and benefits.

Why do they cause trouble?

And when Ji Guang takes office, a tax reform will be aimed directly at the privileged class. How can they be happy? You need to know that if taxation is based on land and various tax exemption rights are cancelled, the people who will be hurt the most are those who own the most land. Who owns the land in the world?

How many? Five princes! All major aristocratic families! There are even Buddhist temples and Taoist temples!

Therefore, the tax reform touches the most untouchable groups in the world!

Whether Lu Youwei dies or not today is actually not important. What is important is the article that follows this matter...

They hope to make this article bigger, and they hope to tear apart the relationship between Lin Su and His Majesty. They know that as long as a poisonous thorn is buried between Lin Su and His Majesty, sooner or later, this poisonous thorn will become the starting point of the rift.

Push these two super giants to the opposite side, and on that day, Zongzheng Mansion and Prince Wang will have an opportunity to take advantage of it!

Ji Guang has the blood of the late emperor, but he is now the king. Which of the five princes does not have the blood of the late emperor?

Huo Qi sighed deeply: "Even though Mr. Qu Ge has seen through the evil intentions of Zong Zhengfu, there is nothing we can do. After all, they are making a good move!"

Li Yangxin said: "There may be a way in front of you! Brother Lin might as well listen to it..."

Lin Su raised his eyes and stared at him...

Li Yangxin said: "I know that Lu Youwei is Brother Lin's confidante and a literary friend of ours. We absolutely cannot let her die. And if she doesn't die, His Majesty can't explain it. There is only one way to let her die."

I cut my hair and became a nun in Lingyin Temple! Once I enter Buddhism, I am no longer a human being in the world. There is no reason for Zong Zhengfu to hold on to you, right?"

Zhang Haoran's eyes brightened...

The eyes of all the brothers are also bright...

Wonderful!

Let her enter the void!

After entering Buddhism, she is no longer a person in the world, and the laws of the world are no longer applicable. She can escape this disaster, but what about Song Du's head wife? Do the same!

Huo Qi smiled: "Brother Li's plan is brilliant! Now it's up to Brother Lin whether he wants to part with Miss Lu's three feet of black hair."

Li Yangxin smiled: "Brother Huo underestimated Brother Lin too much. Is Brother Lin such a paranoid person? He has long been accustomed to Lingyin admiring flowers. If there are three feet of green silk, it is a flower. If there is no three feet of green silk, it is not a flower."

All the brothers laughed together and had the same understanding. Today they gathered at Prince Wen's Mansion. In fact, rescuing Lu Youwei was also one of the important issues, and now it seems to have been resolved.

However, Lin Su, who was in the center of the crowd, picked up the teacup: "Brothers, you have worked hard to plan for her and try every means to avoid the national law. I am deeply grateful, brothers, but brothers, have you ever thought about whether this national law... is reasonable?

?”

Everyone was shocked...

"National law is the foundation of a country. It is the law established by our ancestors. How can we comment on it at will?" Qiu Mochi hesitated.

Lin Sudao: "There is nothing wrong with national law, the foundation of a country, but national law itself can be adjusted and changed. For example, the current tax law, did our ancestors have it? No! But now, don't you implement it in a decent way?...

…So, let’s put aside the psychological inertia of the ancestral law and let’s talk openly and honestly whether the current national law that punishes the nine tribes is reasonable!”

Yes, the brothers looked at each other. The ancestral law has a psychological inertia in the hearts of every high-ranking official. When encountering this national law, they would bypass it without even thinking. However, Lin Su's courage was obviously not comparable to that of his brothers. He pointed his finger at the real law.

The root of the problem: Is the national law itself reasonable?

Listen to what he means, if the national law itself is unreasonable, he will change the law!

Reform, my God...

It is still Qiu Mochi who leads the way. He is from the Ministry of Punishment. In the field of law, it is his turn to speak...

Qiu Mochi said: "In my opinion, there is nothing unreasonable in punishing the nine tribes for treason. It is just because of the crime of treason. The crime is too great and the harm to the world is unparalleled. Non-heavy punishments are not enough to deter all parties."

Xiaoxiao!"

"A non-heavy code is not enough to deter!" Lin Su nodded: "What Brother Qiu said is true, but why kill the nine tribes? Instead of the twelve tribes?"

"Twelve tribes? Where are the twelve tribes?" Qiu Mochi was stunned.

"Father has four mothers, three wives and two. In addition to the nine clans, there are three more clans. This person is an old friend in the past, the same year of the imperial examination, and a colleague in the officialdom. Wouldn't this be a greater shock? It also shows that non-heavy codes are not enough to intimidate?"

Qiu Mochi sweatdropped: "Brother Lin, if you do this, you are killing innocent people indiscriminately!"

Lin Sudao: "Yes, when I killed the Twelve Clan, I killed innocent people indiscriminately, but when you killed the Nine Clan, didn't you kill innocent people indiscriminately? Among the nine Clan, what's the crime for a three-year-old baby? Some of those ordinary children don't even know the true appearance of the head of the family.

I've never seen her before, so what's her crime? It's been almost three years since Lu Youwei left the Lu Mansion. What does Lu Tian's treason have to do with her? What's her crime? If they were executed together, was it an indiscriminate killing of innocent people?"

Everyone was speechless...

Lin Su glanced at the faces of the brothers: "So, the law to punish the nine tribes is unreasonable! Since the founding of the country for thousands of years, everyone has regarded it as reasonable. Why? Because everyone has zero tolerance for treason, so they subconsciously

To relax the boundaries of punishment, no matter how cruel or absurd the execution is, it is all covered up by the phrase "non-heavy punishments are not enough to deter", and the true meaning of the law is ignored!"
To be continued...
