Although it was just a short sentence, it shocked Marquis Yanyang to the point where he couldn't eat. He quickly raised his head and said: "No one discussed with me, and no one asked for my opinion. My family has three thousand acres of land, which meets the tax exemption requirements, so
This reform of the tax law has nothing to do with our Yanyang Marquis Mansion. On the contrary, the biggest benefit of the tax reform is that it can increase the fields in the hands of the people, and we can also more easily collect grain, trade and trade. Welcome to return.
It’s too late, so how can we object?”
Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said: "That's why I believe the Marquis and invite you to come to the palace to discuss it, because among all the people in the court, only the Marquis is the most supportive of the reform."
"I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it." Marquis Yanyang smiled and waved his hand.
"You are the least likely to plot rebellion." Zhang Xiaowu had a half-smiling expression on his face, staring at him with interest, his eyes flashed, and murderous intent arose.
Marquis Yanyang's smile froze in an instant. Having lived in Longdu for many years, he immediately realized his crisis. Although this person was very likely to become his grandson-in-law, in the face of a chaotic situation like a coup, all relatives and family ties were thrown away.
For the sake of safety, he immediately said: "Don't worry, Mr. Shaobao, the Marquis of Yanyang has been loyal to the emperor for generations, how can he conspire to rebel? Your Majesty treats my Gu family very well, both in public and private affairs, and it is impossible for the Gu family to do that kind of thing."
It’s a completely unconscionable thing.”
"That's the best, that's the best." Zhang Xiaowu nodded, and his smile appeared like sunshine after the rain. In the extreme time, his smile was like cold winter and warm summer, which made him more repetitive and eager. He said slowly: "
I did not know about His Majesty's implementation of the tax law reform. By the time I found out about it, the rebels were already eager to take action.
If I had known about this in advance, I would have urged your Majesty to use other methods to restructure the system instead of this method. The tax law reorganization has touched the interests of almost all noble families and aristocratic families, so much so that if one person rebels, there will be
Hundreds of people responded, so Your Majesty will stop the tax law reform. This matter requires the Marquis to act as an envoy and explain it to the nobles."
"Me?" Marquis Yanyang was surprised, "Your Majesty asked me to be the envoy?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "It's me, not the Emperor. Your Majesty is recovering from his injuries temporarily and is unable to come forward. All orders will be issued by me."
"Well, I thought I could take care of myself when I got old, but I didn't expect these old bones to be of some use." Marquis Yanyang laughed at himself and said, "I'll go now."
"No hurry, there is one more thing."
"Master Shaobao, please speak."
After Zhang Xiaowu took a sip of the hot soup, he calmed down and asked, "Master Hou, does he know where the literature is?"
"Of course we know that the eleventh adopted son of Dushanbo's eighteen adopted sons is the son of Kaicheng Bo who studied in Bian. Kaicheng Bo is also one of the eleven elders." said the Marquis of Yanyang.
Zhang Xiaowu asked again: "How big is the Bian family's property?"
"Why did Shaobao ask the Bian family?"
"I'm judging whether Bian Wen can raise a glass to rebel against the conditions."
"Absolutely impossible." Marquis Yanyang said firmly, "The Bian family has never participated in the dispute for the crown prince. The Bian family has ancestral precepts. If it were not for this ancestral precept, the Bian family would have been wiped out long ago because of their participation in the dispute for the crown prince." He shook his head.
He smiled bitterly, and then explained: "For the nobles, only loyalty is
You only need to be loyal to the empire, and there is no need to be loyal to the crown prince. After all, the imperial family has been safe for a thousand years. If it is caught in a dispute between the crown prince, there is half the risk of the whole family being destroyed. You see, my Gu family is like this, and they are almost implicated. If not for His Majesty's mercy,
I'm afraid the Gu family has long since disappeared."
Zhang Xiaowu understood the meaning and respectfully sent Marquis Yanyang away from the imperial city. At this time, a piece of gratifying news came. The jade seal of the Chuan Dynasty had been found. With the jade seal, Zhang Xiaowu could fake the imperial edict. However, he still sent the jade seal first.
The gift was given to Concubine Tang, who was responsible for keeping it, but at the same time, Concubine Tang also said that if Master Shaobao needed it, she could get it herself. Zhang Xiaowu knew that this was just polite, so he just smiled.
At the same time, He Lanzong led the entire Qinglong Army to attack the Zilong Army camp.
However, at the gate of the Zilong Army's camp, the deputy commander of the Zilong Army, Yin Fengnian, came out with his troops and was willing to show that the Zilong Army was not allowed to resist. He Lanzong was shocked. Of course he knew that the King of Jin had bribed the Zilong Army, but last night Zilong
The army did not participate in the rebellion and made no noise. They surrendered early this morning.
Yin Fengnian said: "The King of Jin and his commander, Yanda, tricked everyone into rebelling and killing you last night. They confronted us all night and disappeared as soon as possible."
He Lanzong was surprised and said: "Prince Jin is at the Zilong Army camp?"
"Yes, I was here once, but I don't know where I have gone now." Yin Fengnian said.
Helan Zongdao: "Tell me about what happened last night in detail."
With the support of Yanda, the commander of the Zilong Army, King Jin secretly sneaked back to Longdu and convened an emergency meeting with the generals of the Zilong Army. Originally, everyone was planning to take a break during the New Year, but they never expected to be called to the meeting at short notice.
When they saw King Jin standing there, they immediately realized
What, most of the Zilong Army are the nobles and nobles of Longdu. These people are very smart and know what to do and what not to do. When Yanda made a noise and ordered the Zilong Army to participate in the rebellion and enter the palace to eliminate the tyrant, they immediately said
He refused to rebel, and some people took the opportunity to agitate for the removal of traitorous officials.
Yanda, the commander of the Zilong Army, said: "What your Majesty said is actually an act of a tyrant, which brings disaster to the country and the people and harms the vitality of the nobles. We cannot bear it. The King of Jin is the destiny of destiny. He has already had the Qinglong Army, the Xuanwu Army, the Yulin Army, and the Golden Guards
, the Longdu Yamen and others formed a private alliance to support King Jin’s succession. You are all sons of the gentry, so you naturally understand that everyone’s interests are closely related. How long will it take if we don’t get rid of the tyrant now?”
"Nonsense, a bunch of nonsense!" Yin Fengnian, the deputy commander of the Zilong Army, stood up and said angrily, "We are loyal to Your Majesty, how can we do such an act that violates our conscience? Your Majesty's so-called national policy, we military personnel only need to abide by it, and
How dare you meddle in national policies and interfere in government affairs? It is a national taboo for military personnel to interfere in government affairs, which will bring disaster to the country and the people and will last forever! Yanda, you do not care about the seriousness of your crime, and your crime is unforgivable."
Yanda was taken aback, slapped the table and said angrily: "Don't you know that I am thinking about the ruling noble family?"
"We are imperial soldiers first, and when we take off our armor and robes, we will become the sons of the nobles." Yin Fengnian walked out with his head held high, and his supporters immediately stood up. King Jin never expected that Yan Da Dingli, the commander of the Zilong Army, would
With the support, Zilong's army did not support him. Instead, seventy-one people opposed the Jin King's usurpation of power. This was completely contrary to his original expectations and even ran counter to the crown prince's plan.
The Zilong Army was divided into three factions. The largest faction was the royalist faction that opposed the execution of the emperor. The smallest faction was the opposition group that supported the king of Jin. Only 20% of the middle faction was waiting and watching. Everyone quarreled fiercely and worried.
Due to the persecution by the royalists in Zilong's army, King Jin immediately fled that night and disappeared without a trace.
However, Yanda waited until the morning to learn that the Silver Guards had occupied the palace and wiped out the rebels. He immediately fled with his people and also disappeared. As the Zilong Army did not participate in the rebellion, the Helan Sect did not know how to deal with it, so he spread the news.
Write a letter to the Shaobao Lord in the palace and let him decide the whereabouts of Zilong's army.
Soon, news came from the palace that the deputy commander Yin Fengnian was appointed as the commander of the Zilong Army Zhonglang General, and they immediately hunted down King Jin, Yanda and his party.
