Wang Yue looked at Li Rong and said with an incomprehensible smile, "One drink and one peck will have its destiny. In the parallel world, the Su family and the Shangguan family had cholera in their palaces, intending to confuse the royal bloodline, and they were indeed committing the crime of killing the nine tribes."
of serious crimes.
In any dynasty, the Su family would not be like the light-hearted Yi clan in your dream! And I will not just die in the Shangguan family, Shangguan Xu.
And the reason why your mother died was entirely because she was deceived by the Su family and the Shangguan family.
As for Su Rongqing, I'm afraid he was plotting against you from the beginning in order to use your favor to influence the emperor Li Chuan.
I guess in the parallel world, it is because of Su Rongqing that you are becoming more and more estranged from your consort."
When Li Rong saw what Wang Yue said, she quickly shook her head nervously and said, "Lang Jun, that's not me! Don't get me wrong!"
Seeing how nervous Li Rong was, Wang Yue smiled and said, "I don't blame you for your dream, but what I care about is whether there is a shadow of Su Rongqing in your heart!"
Seeing that Wang Yue spoke so straightforwardly, Li Rong knew that she had to face the problem calmly, so she simply said, "Before you came out, Su Rongqing was the number one son in Beijing after all. Many unmarried young girls in Beijing had the same problem.
A fantasy marriage partner.
But compared with Lang Jun, he is just an ordinary man. If you existed in the parallel world, you would definitely take over the position of the number one son just like you do in this world."
Wang Yue looked at Li Rong's blunt flattery. Although he was very happy, he was still a little depressed because Li Rong's favorability score for him was still stuck at 99%, with no intention of improving at all.
Fortunately, Wang Yue understood that the reason why Li Rong's favorability score had not reached the full value was not because he had someone else in his heart, so he felt relieved.
As for when the full value will be achieved, Wang Yue thinks that it will probably be achieved because he helped Li Rong realize her dream.
Li Rong seemed to care most about the harmonious coexistence of his family and relatives. He felt that something must be done.
Just when Wang Yue was thinking this, Xie Wenqing was controlled by Wang Yue's clone, and he directly led the government officials to start measuring the Xie family's land. This was to prepare for the subsequent tax collection.
When the common people heard the news, they were extremely excited. The aristocratic family controlled a large amount of land in the country but did not pay taxes, which made them very dissatisfied. Now they finally have a balance in their hearts.
But now there is only one family, and the people are obviously unwilling to do so, so they also look forward to more aristocratic families paying taxes together.
Of the eight major families in Beijing, the Yang family has been destroyed, the Xie family has now become a rebel, the Shangguan family is standing still, and the other five major families cannot sit still.
They gathered together again to discuss countermeasures, and they all agreed that Xie Wenqing's trouble must be solved.
Originally this matter should be brought to the attention of the Shangguan family, but the Shangguan family has now closed its doors to thank guests and seems not to be prepared to participate.
Everyone thought about the prince who was going to do a great job in the country. How could they understand why the Shangguan family stood still?
After all, the prince is not in the capital at all. No matter what the Shangguan family does, they are making wedding dresses for others. It is normal for them to want to stand still.
As for the issue of tax collection, most of the Shangguan family’s property is in Youzhou, and the officials there are basically controlled by the Shangguan family. In addition, Youzhou is remote. I don’t know how long it will take for Youzhou’s turn to come.
.
However, other aristocratic families are different from the Shangguan family. The Shangguan family came to Kyoto only after the queen was born. They are outsiders and do not have much land in Kyoto.
But other big families in Beijing, headed by the Su family, are all based in Kyoto. Although they are also very powerful, they do not have as much time as the Shangguan family.
The main reason is that this method of tax collection will most likely be implemented near Kyoto first, and then slowly be promoted outwards. Therefore, there is not much time left for these wealthy families.
They were worried that there would be no retreat in the end, so they targeted Concubine Rou and Concubine Rou's son, Prince Su!
The Xiao family where Concubine Rou lives belongs to a poor family, but because even the wealthy families have to collect taxes, it is inevitable that the poor family will also collect taxes.
After all, no matter whether they are from aristocratic families or poor families, there is only one reason for tax evasion, that is, citizens and scholars do not have to pay taxes, and then they concentrate all the uncle's land on people with fame.
The reason why the poor families are called poor families is because their land and power have shrunk a bit. In essence, they are unwilling to pay taxes, which is different from ordinary people.
After all, their land holdings are relatively small, so they have always been in a wait-and-see state, but they are also united around Concubine Rou's natal Xiao family and want to advance and retreat in a unified way.
However, the poor family and the aristocratic family now have common interests, so when the aristocratic family came to find him, the two parties hit it off and planned to take advantage of the prince's absence in the capital to kill Li Ming and push King Su to the throne.
In order not to alert others, they no longer blocked Xie Wenqing's actions, which also gave the people and Li Ming the illusion that the wealthy family had compromised.
It's just that their plan could be hidden from others, but they couldn't fool Wang Yue, an old fox. He immediately began to closely monitor the palace's actions.
In Wang Yue's view, as long as Li Ming is guaranteed not to die, there will be no problem even if he is seriously ill. At that time, the prince can completely oversee the country and even ascend the throne.
But the only troublesome thing is that Li Chuan, who was traveling around, began to encounter a new round of assassinations, and they were more violent than ever before, making both Li Chuan and Qin Zhenzhen feel the crisis.
However, fortunately, Qin Zhenzhen's cultivation level is getting higher and higher now, and ordinary assassinations have no effect on her.
The main reason for this is that after Qin Zhenzhen cultivated her magic power, her sword skills became much more powerful, especially since her sword energy was separated from the body. A single sword blow would kill or injure a large area.
The long-distance attack of explosive sparks can also damage a large area at once, so as long as she discovers the danger, it is easy for him to escape.
Of course, the people who assassinated were quite vicious and even impossible to guard against. The reason why they were able to avoid being injured was entirely because they had the amulets given to them by Wang Yue.
Ordinary damage is of no use to them. It can temporarily save their lives at critical moments. The only troublesome thing is that they waste their peace charms too much. In less than a month, they have used dozens of them!
Both of them were smart people. They found that the peace charms they brought with them were consumed too quickly, so they immediately prepared to rush back to Jiulu Mountain.
As the two of them slowly approached Kyoto, assassinations suddenly became less frequent. This was not because they gave up on assassinations, but simply because the time was up and the actions of the Han Family and the Aristocratic Family had already begun.
In order not to alert the enemy, the rebels need to centrally deploy those dead soldiers and closely monitor the capital.
Both in the capital and the palace, there were already manpower from the aristocratic families. Therefore, when the tens of thousands of rebels gathered from the aristocratic families arrived, the palace was directly breached in one fell swoop.
Li Ming looked at Concubine Rou and Prince Su who walked in surrounded by rebels, and asked in disbelief, "Concubine Rou, I have supported your Xiao family from a lonely and poor family to where it is now, and you dare to rebel?"
?”
Concubine Rou said with a sneer, "I'm just a pawn for you to use. If your goal is achieved, I'm afraid our Xiao family will be targeted and suppressed by you in the future just like the Shangguan family who supported you on the throne.
I was just one step ahead!"
Li Ming was speechless. He did have this idea, but now he couldn't admit it, so he said sternly, "The prince is still outside. If you rebel like this, you will become a stepping stone for other aristocratic families. You are now
It’s still too late to regret.”
However, Concubine Rou directly drew her sword and put it on Li Ming's neck, and then said coldly, "It's better not to talk nonsense anymore. If you have that time, you might as well hand over the jade seal to me quickly, otherwise, don't blame me."
Ruthless."
Li Ming originally wanted to say a few harsh words, but the sword in Concubine Rou's hand was passed forward and cut his neck. He felt pain in his neck and liquid flowed down!
Li Ming saw that Concubine Rou was obviously preparing to kill her. He knew in his heart that if he didn't tell her, he would definitely die. He still told the location of the jade seal in the hope of surviving by telling her.
After listening to Li Ming's words, Mr. Wen of the Wen family next to Concubine Rou immediately rushed forward to look for the jade seal. As a result, after he opened the mechanism, he found that it was empty.
Concubine Rou saw this scene, and she held the sword forward a little more, and she shouted angrily, "Where is the jade seal? Isn't it good to be your supreme emperor? Do you have to seek death?"
Li Ming was also a little confused. He was clearly hiding there, and even his personal eunuch Fulai didn't know how he could disappear for no reason. He quickly looked at Fulai.
Fulai was also kicked to the ground at this moment. Master Wen put his sword directly on Fulai's neck and shouted angrily, "Where is the jade seal? Do you know?"
Fulai knew that these people did not dare to kill Li Ming directly, but they would kill him directly. He shook his head quickly and said with a sad face, "I really don't know. Only His Majesty knows about the Yuxi."
Seeing that he didn't want to lie, everyone looked at the emperor. They didn't expect that the emperor was so stubborn and hid the jade seal so tightly.
Mr. Su, the right minister, also took a step forward and said seriously, "Your Majesty, so many ministers in the court are here. Even if you don't take out the jade seal, King Su can still ascend the throne, so you should be wiser."
Li Ming was scared out of his mind at this moment. He said anxiously, "I put the jade seal right there, but I don't know why it suddenly disappeared!"
Mr. Su felt that Li Ming didn't look like he was joking, so he quickly stretched out his hand to pull Li Ming and walked towards the grid. He asked Li Ming to look for it with him.
