The new tax system implemented by Tie Xi is for the long-term security of the Great Song Dynasty on the one hand, and on the other hand, Tie Xi really does not want to oppress the people, and more importantly, Tie Xi has an idea buried deep in his heart.Except for me, all the world is equal.Since we are all equal, I don't allow one group to bully another, and I am the only one who can bully people.Therefore, Tiexi will never allow anyone to resist the new tax system, and whoever gets in the way will die.After leaving Qufu, the emperor's imperial drive went straight to Tai'an City, and the army did not advance fast, which was Tie Xi's own request.Great rivers and mountains, he naturally wants to take a good look, after all, this may be the last time he will leave in this life.When the royal car is moving slowly.Jiangnan has long been turned upside down.Ma Baoyi was in Suzhou City, and more than 2,000 people were arrested in one day, and countless families became prisoners in the blink of an eye.Ma Baoyi doesn't treat these thieves as people at all, in the Jiangnan region, officials are not officials in many cases, and what they want to do cannot be done without the cooperation of the local family.This is also the reason why after Wei Chijiang came here late to roll out the new tax system, the tax and silver have been reduced year after year.Ma Baoyi got it, undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the local officials, different from the past to be submissive, now doing things, the scenery is very good.Wei Chi Jiangwan and Ma Baoyi are completely two styles, after he arrived at the place, he found a place to rest and let the local officials arrest people.He did this for the simple purpose of reducing the sense of presence.Breaking away from the team and running so far to catch people is an attitude in itself.He wants to express his trust in Wang Zhizhong, in this case, he Wei Chi Jiangwan can't steal Wang Zhizhong's limelight, otherwise when he returns to the imperial court, it will become his Wei Chi Jiangwan who completely suppressed Wang Zhizhong, which the emperor does not want to see.It is impossible for Wei Chi Jiangwan to say in his heart that he is not wronged, but he also knows that Tie Xi is right to do this, so he is willing to fully cooperate with Tie Xi.The result was that this matter spread more and more widely, and even ordinary people knew that many families in Jiangnan united to assassinate the emperor.For a time, the crowd was furious, and many people ran outside the door of the local big clan, throwing stones and cursing people.As for whether they were angry at being bullied on weekdays, or whether they were genuinely angry with the emperor, only they knew.The big families in Jiangnan have another idea, they feel that this is clearly the imperial court deliberately acting in order to suppress them, but even so, they dare not do anything, dare not say anything.At this time, whoever rises will die.This is killing chickens and monkeys, no, this is killing tigers and scaring dogs......
When the nomad learned that Yu Chijiang had come late, he knew that he couldn't escape.In fact, he was also lucky in this matter.Lin Jiadong won, he can borrow his identity and influence to help the young new emperor and Concubine Dong stabilize the court, and he will definitely be able to leave a strong mark in history in the future.Lin Jiadong lost, he didn't participate in the whole process, there is no need for the court to embarrass him as an old minister who has returned to his hometown, not to mention that this old minister still has a huge influence above the court.Unfortunately, he was wrong......
Tie Xi didn't care about his influence at all, and he didn't care about his reputation as an emperor, he wanted to put him to death.After Liu Zhi arrived in Hongzhou, he went straight to Youfu.After nomadic learned the news of Liu Zhi's arrival from his subordinates, he knew that it was his turn, and before he could explain the aftermath to his grandson, Liu Zhi had already broken in with someone."
Lord You, it's been a long time...... nomad's grandson didn't know what was going on, and just wanted to beckon someone to serve tea to Liu Zhi, but was stopped by nomad, and then asked them to go back to the room first.Wait until only himself and Liu Zhi are left in the lobby.Nomad's gaze fell on Liu Zhi."
Your Majesty, do you really want to let me go?"
Hearing Nomad's words, Liu Zhi sneered: "Lord You, isn't it obvious enough that the lower officials are standing here" After listening to Liu Zhi's words, Nomad Zhi sighed: "Why didn't Wei Chi Jiang come at night?"
”"Xia Guan naturally doesn't know what Lord Wei Chi thinks, but this has nothing to do with Lord You."
After finishing speaking, Liu Zhi took out the confession prepared in advance from his arms and put it in front of Nomad Zhi: "Master You, sign and draw the charge......
Nomad Zhi did not move, but looked at the confession and asked: "My family, what does Your Majesty plan to deal with." ”"Your Majesty is merciful, I will let them go this time, and only sentenced them to one charge of exile, Lord You, these have nothing to do with you anymore, sign and draw them quickly, don't waste the time of the officials."
Liu Zhi said coldly.An agent had already drawn his knife and stood in front of Liu Zhi.Nomad looked at the secret agent beside him and smiled bitterly: "In this life, people can't escape a greedy word after all." ”As he spoke, Nomad raised his hand and pressed his thumb on the confession."
Lord You, on Huangquan Road, be careful not to fall."
In the next second, the head fell to the ground, and then, there were bursts of cries and shouts in Youfu.It wasn't until the evening that the affairs of Youfu were dealt with, and Liu Zhi had time to visit Wei Chijiangwan, who came to Hongzhou yesterday.As soon as Yu Chi Jiangwan appeared in the lobby, Liu Zhi bowed and saluted: "The lower official has seen Lord Yu Chi......"
Yu Chi Jiangwan smiled and said: "Lord Liu, please take a seat." ”"Lord Xie Weichi......"
Liu Zhi sat down.After Liu Zhi was warned by Sun Jiawan, his style of acting was indeed much more restrained, but the thoughts in his heart did not change much.In any case, it will not be wrong to have a good relationship with Wei Chijiangwan.After the two sat down.Wei Chi Jiangwan opened his mouth and asked, "Did you say anything before the death of the nomad?"
”He asked why it wasn't Lord Wei Chi who came, and the lower official said that it would not be bothered by Lord Laoyou, and then he was sent on his way.Liu Zhi said with a smile.Wei Chijiang nodded later: "If you are a greedy person, you won't be able to get out of this life......
Learn to be content. ”"Lord Yu Chi is right, this is the matter, the royal driver is about to arrive in Tai'an, is Lord Yu Chi also leaving?""
This official will stay for a few days, and then go directly to Chengdu Mansion to wait for Your Majesty, it makes no difference whether I am there or not in the matter of worshipping the sky."
After finishing speaking, Wei Chijiang paused for a moment and looked at Liu Zhi: "Lord Liu came to see this official so late, is there still a matter of Peter, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ””The lower official knew that he couldn't hide it from Lord Wei Chi, so the lower official said that it was related to the imperial concubine. ”Hearing this, Wei Chijiang sat up straight: "What happened to the imperial concubine?"
Liu Zhi saw that Yu Chi Jiangwan's expression was nervous, and hurriedly said: "The imperial concubine didn't have an accident, Lord Wei Chi doesn't need to be nervous, it's just that it's just some small problems, and the lower officials don't know how to solve them, so they can only ask Lord Wei Chi.""
What the hell is going on?"
Yu Chijiang urged.Seeing that Wei Chi Jiangwan was so anxious, Liu Zhi no longer hesitated, and hurriedly said: "Is this the ......"
"Your Majesty's attack on this matter, secret agents and officials from all over the country attach great importance to it, so Your Majesty's journey, all the cities along the way have begun to conduct internal martial law investigations, for fear that such a thing will happen again, so all of them have implemented a curfew......"
"But this provoked the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine originally came out to play this time, and His Majesty allowed it, but now it has become like this, naturally there is no way to have a good time, So the imperial concubine asked for the curfew to be lifted......
"At this time, it is naturally impossible to lift the curfew, and the lower officials are also forced to have no choice, so they want to ask Lord Wei Chi for a solution." ”Yu Chijiang breathed a sigh of relief, he really thought something was wrong, it turned out to be such a thing.It's okay, it's okay......
Wei Chijiang thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty's safety is more important than everything, how can you allow the imperial concubine to mess around, I will personally go to her to say this matter." ”After listening to Wei Chi Jiangwan's words, Liu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Lord Wei Chi." ”After listening to this, Wei Chijiang nodded: "In this case, this official still has something to do, so I won't leave Master Liu for now." ”Liu Zhi immediately got up to say goodbye, and Wei Chi Jiangwan personally sent Liu Zhi out of the lobby before stopping: "Lord Liu, there is a sentence, this official doesn't know whether to say it or not...... " After Liu Zhi heard Yu Chi Jiangwan's words, he immediately saluted Yu Chi Jiangwan and asked him to continue."
Power, it's greed, fame, it's greed, money, it's greed, Lord Liu don't forget the lessons of the past......"
Yu Chijiang's words were clueless, but Liu Zhi's heart beat faster several times, he took a deep breath, nodded and said, "The lower official has written it down." ”It wasn't until Liu Zhi's figure completely disappeared that Wei Chijiang sighed: "That's all it takes, how to go next depends on how you choose." ”After finishing speaking, Wei Chijiang turned around and left.All night, Liu Zhi couldn't sleep, and his mind went back and forth with Wei Chijiang's warning.Liu Zhi copied three families in Jiangnan, and all the money confiscated during this period was all handled by him, and it was too simple to do something in the account book.Wei Chi Jiangwan is the person who knows Tie Xi best, and he also knows Liu Zhi, so he said those words.The meaning is obvious, let him not be clever.Liu Zhi didn't sleep all night, and finally made a decision when the sun appeared.Money is important, but it also has to be spent.Wei Chijiang knew all the things in the evening, but His Majesty the Emperor didn't investigate it afterwards, and he couldn't hide it.Early in the morning, Liu Zhi arranged for a few of his henchmen to deal with the account books and money, and he set off for Suzhou City.Ma Baoyi is still there.Ma Baoyi sat on the execution ground, looking at the prisoners kneeling there with an expressionless face, and under the execution ground, surrounded by people."
Why do you have to kill so many people at once, what are they doing?""
You don't even know that?
This group of bold guys actually went to assassinate His Majesty, this is a rebellion, cutting off their heads is really cheap for them, I think, a thousand knives are not too much. ”"Is it a mistake, you see, Master Qi is also on it, and last month Master Qi also opened a porridge shed outside the city to give porridge."
How is it possible, you see who the chief officer is, that is the secretary of the military department, don't tell me the reputation of Lord Ma that you haven't heard of it, how can the person he arrested be wrong?"
