The hometown of the Southern Zhou Dynasty has never stopped since it was conquered.
At the beginning, someone rebelled, under the banner of restoring the country, but Li Xuan was so wicked that he moved the royal family to Chang'an. If you want to restore the country, whose country will you restore?
So those ambitious people shyly took up the banner of going to Chang'an to rescue His Majesty.
But even the people of the Southern Zhou Dynasty didn’t believe this... Damn it! If you had such ability, would the Zhou Dynasty be destroyed?
After these rebellions were swept away, Chang'an began to purge the officialdom of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.
Most of those who supported the New Deal were retained or even reused.
Anyone who opposes the New Deal will get out.
Some people say that many people oppose the New Deal not for their own interests, but because they think the New Deal is a disaster.
The emperor's voice came from Chang'an: "Without reform, the Southern Zhou Dynasty will inevitably perish. With reform, at least there is a glimmer of hope. People like this can't even see this, and serving as officials will only harm the people!"
Immediately, those officials who felt aggrieved hid their faces and left.
As a result, the officialdom of the Southern Zhou Dynasty changed drastically, and many officials from the mainland took over power.
"Strike!"
In a mansion in Bianjing, a group of scholar-officials were discussing secretly.
"Strike?"
"Yes, the business of the Great Zhou Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous now, and it provides countless taxes to Chang'an every year. Li Xuan is preparing to conquer Shu. If the Great Zhou Dynasty is in chaos..."
"Yes, a lot of grain is purchased from grain merchants. If there is a market strike..."
Immediately, this group of people used their influence to start instigating merchants to go on strike.
There were very few responses.
"Those businessmen actually refused to agree!"
A group of people gathered together again.
"Why?"
"Don't they care about justice?"
"Those merchants said that after returning to the Tang Dynasty, their taxes were reduced, the officials became much more honest, and the trade routes became smoother. If this is the case, why should they go on strike?"
"A bunch of thieves who only care about money!"
Qin Dezhang, the former Crown Prince of Southern Zhou Dynasty, said angrily.
A follower ran in and said, "Officers and soldiers are coming!"
"What?" Qin Dezhang sneered, "That's fine!"
"Qin Gong, leave quickly!"
The people dispersed like birds and beasts.
Qin Dezhang walked to the street and saw sergeants blocking him on both sides.
"Here comes the knife!"
He stretched out his hand and said, "Alang, these are tough soldiers, they are useless."
"Bring it!"
Taking the dagger, Qin Dezhang suddenly laughed.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The sergeants stopped and looked at the old man going crazy.
"The back is blocked." someone shouted.
Then, only this old gentleman is left.
"The Great Zhou Dynasty has been cultivating scholars for hundreds of years, and it takes today to practice righteousness and become benevolent."
Qin Dezhang put the short knife on his neck and said, "Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, commerce has flourished and the treasury has been full. Not to mention singing and dancing to bring peace, it is also a rare pure land in the world. After assisting the king of Zuo, we entertain ourselves with poems and songs.
The great Zhou Dynasty was the place of literary talent, but what was the Tang Dynasty? The emperors were shameless, and fathers and sons had wives. The people of the Tang Dynasty were tyrannical, and they often drew their swords against each other. In the temples, people shouted for conquest at every turn... This is the tyranny of the Tang Dynasty!"
The pedestrians stopped and the merchants were stunned.
Several Jin Yiwei came.
"This man's name is Qin Dezhang, he was the former Crown Prince and Tutor, and he was highly respected. After the fall of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, this man resigned. Recently, he has been jumping up and down, and we have found many people with ulterior motives. However, he
What is this going to do? A desperate situation?"
Qin Dezhang looked at the pedestrians and said, "Did you know? The navy has gone to sea. The navy, which has always only guarded the coast of the Zhou Dynasty, is now going overseas. What does the emperor want to do? He wants to conquer overseas."
The news of the navy's departure was brought by merchants, so Bianjing merchants longed for the day when they could sail across the ocean to do business.
"Where will the gentle Zhou Dynasty be taken by the violent Tang Dynasty? I seem to have seen you and others wearing armor and carrying weapons, rushing to the battlefield following Chang'an's will. But why is there such a conquest in this world?
?Isn’t it good to guard the territory and live peacefully?”
"But the emperor of Chang'an has an iron will. He has been on conquest since he was a boy, and he will not stop. And we, the people of Great Zhou, will be tied to his chariot. Woohoo! We, the people of Great Zhou, will
Why?"
"Don't let him continue talking."
Several royal guards came over.
Qin Dezhang pointed his dagger at them and said with a smile: "Are you afraid that I will tell these truths, so you want to silence me? There is no need for you to wait!"
Qin Dezhang turned the knife against his lower abdomen, raised his head and shouted: "Dazhou has been raising scholars for hundreds of years. Today, I will die and pray to heaven...save me, Dazhou!"
The knife was stabbed hard into his lower abdomen, and Qin Dezhang slowly knelt down.
Jin Yiwei used a falcon to spread the news to Chang'an.
"Qin Dezhang?"
The emperor read the news and said: "Since taking over the Southern Zhou Dynasty, I have cleaned up a lot of bad policies. Not to mention Hai Qing He Yan, life has been much better than during the reign of the Nian family. People are calm, so naturally no one wants to rebel.
. This person seems to be in a hurry, jumping up and down but very few people respond. He is trying to use his death to inspire people... Ridiculous!"
He Lianyan said: "There are still some people in Southern Zhou who sympathize with him."
"Sympathy is sympathy, but days are days. When you get home, you see meat in the pot, grain in the rice vat, and oil in the oil pot. This is happiness. If your days are good, who can rebel?"
"Your Majesty, the influence of the scholar-bureaucrats in the hometown of Southern Zhou Dynasty is deep-rooted and cannot be underestimated!" He Lianyan said.
"Really?" The emperor put his hands behind his hands and said with a smile: "After conquering Shu, many subsequent innovations will require money and food. I am worried about how to get so much money and food. Cao Ying's hair turned gray because of this. No, it's just right!"
Immediately, a decree came out from the palace.
"I ordered people to check the taxes in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and found that the accounts were in a mess... Guards in Jinyi went to the Southern Zhou Dynasty to check the tax arrears in previous years, for a period of twenty years. The local government and the garrison cooperated."
A very simple will.
But it shocked Nian Xu, who was in retirement.
"Those idiots, those idiots!"
He was playing chess with Nian Ziyue at home. After hearing the news, he lost his thoughts. He stood up and said: "Those scholar-bureaucrats in the Zhou Dynasty have not paid taxes for many years. The officials are in the same group with them. There is nothing I can do about it. Originally, the emperor had no such intention.
Purchasing, but Qin Dezhang did this..."
"Father, what happened to Qin Dezhang?" Nian Ziyue had some impressions of the prince and tutor.
"Qin Dezhang went around inciting people to fight against Chang'an. After the defeat, he incited the people... and finally committed suicide in the street."
Nian Xu sighed, "He thought he could inspire the people of Zhou Dynasty to rebel against Chang'an, but with a slap from the emperor, their roots would be cut off. If the roots are gone, how long can the scholar-bureaucrats survive as a group?"
The emperor was finally going to take action against the group of sticks in Southern Zhou Dynasty.
When the news spread, the wealthy and powerful people in Guanzhong were actually gloating about the misfortune.
I was stabbed. I thought my colleagues in Southern Zhou would be more cautious. I didn’t expect it!
Even Chun Yudian looked down upon the scholar-bureaucrats of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, saying, "A bunch of idiots who don't know how high the sky is."
But the emperor ate an extra piece of cake for lunch.
"Aye!"
The prince is here.
"Eat?" the emperor asked.
"Eat." The prince opened fire on his own today.
"Aye, today a gentleman mentioned the events of the Southern Zhou Dynasty."
"Oh! What did they say?" The emperor motioned for the prince to sit next to him.
He hopes to use this intimate act to maintain the family relationship between father and son and dilute the exclusivity and conflicts brought about by power.
The prince sat down and said: "He said that the scholar-officials are the soul of the Southern Zhou Dynasty. Once the scholar-officials group declines, the Southern Zhou Dynasty will no longer have any bones."
"Oh! This statement is quite new." The emperor said calmly: "A Liang, what do you think?"
"I didn't think about it," A Liang said sincerely; "But my husband said that if the dynasty changes, a new group will appear. This group will have its own soul and gradually become the bones of the country. But the Southern Zhou Dynasty
It was annexed by our Tang Dynasty, and there is no chance to form a soul."
This understanding is interesting. The emperor said: "The so-called soul is actually the carnivore's view of the world and the means to rule the world. The Southern Zhou Dynasty originally used culture to control military affairs, and the literati were unprecedentedly powerful. The so-called soul is too weak.
.”
"Oh!" Ah Liang suddenly realized.
"Is there anyone trying to confuse you?" the emperor asked.
A Liang shook his head, "No."
It seems that killing a person last time has indeed alerted the gentlemen of Aliang.
The emperor's good mood lasted less than a quarter of an hour.
"Your Majesty, King De has beaten someone."
"Called!"
The wise and powerful emperor could only hold his forehead and have a headache when facing his second son.
"Aye, he bullies people!"
King De pointed to a chamberlain who was kneeling beside him, holding his belly and said.
"Who is he bullying?"
"She!" King De pointed to a palace maid next to him, "I saw him forcing the palace lady, saying... If you obey me, we can make you something..."
Damn it!
Isn't this just food?
"Then how do you judge that she has been bullied?" The emperor glanced at the palace maid, and King De said with a proud look on his face, "I saw her folding her arms and said... I am so scared."
…
King De was beaten by the emperor, and many people in the harem applauded.
There was a lot of excitement in the palace, but there was gradually a sense of murder outside.
Many monks of metaphysics set out to go to Shu.
The same is true for Yunshan.
Troops from all over the country continued to gather in Chang'an.
The same is true for grain and grass in various places.
"A storm is coming!"
A businessman from Shu looked at a group of soldiers passing by, shook his head and sighed, then turned around and ordered, "Immediately report to Tongcheng and Chang'an that troops will definitely be dispatched this year."
…
The small court in Tongcheng had an inexplicable luck. They all felt that Li Xuan would not send troops this year, and the reason was very simple: the world still has not completely returned to its heart. If Li Xuan sent troops, who would be in charge of Chang'an?
When the news of Chang'an's military intensification came, Tongcheng was silent for a long time.
"That bastard is finally coming."
Yang Songcheng had a rare energy boost, "The Yang family of Yingchuan has been dormant many times for thousands of years, but has never avoided its opponents. When I arrived in Shu, I felt like a lost dog. Now that the opponent is here, no matter whether I win or lose, I will
The world should know the secrets of the thousand-year-old Yang family!"
In the palace, after Li Mi heard the news, he was silent for a moment. Han Shitou saw the bright light in his eyes for a long time.
Just like when the palace coup was launched for the second time.
