Li Bi wrapped himself in a black cloak, and was carried by the guards to rush into the night, and the guard who stayed in the main hall walked to the dragon bed and lit Tian Tian's sleeping hole, sitting alone at the desk, holding a book with his back to the door, as if he was reading, and the whole hall seemed as if nothing had happened.

A quarter of an hour later, in the 'heaven and earth', Li Zhi, Ziyao and Li Bi sat in the secret room in the backyard, and there were seven witnesses including Su Juren from Shu standing under the hall, and Su Juren stood there without fear and told the situation in Shu in detail.

"Your Majesty, the people of Nanxia County, the grass people of Su Shi Mingshu Prefecture, since the investigation and punishment of Liu Tingshi's corruption case six years ago, Lord Liu Chengjing has taken over the taxes and miscellaneous taxes of the entire Shu Land and more than 20 surrounding counties and counties, in fact, the tax burden of the Southern Tang Kingdom is not high.

Land tax: 2 liters per mu for dry land and 3 liters per mu for paddy fields, and the tax burden can be exempted during natural disasters. Household tax: It is divided into nine classes according to the property of each household, and the tax is levied according to different grades. The lower households receive 500 Wen, the lower middle households receive 1,000 Wen, and the upper households receive 4,000 Wen.

In the year of the flood and drought, there was no tax exemption in accordance with the emperor's edict, and many people who could not survive fled their homes to make a living elsewhere, and many people starved to death on the way, and most of them were captured and killed by the people sent by the Liu family.

And since six years ago, Liu Chengjing was promoted to the head of the household department and took over the taxes of Shu and its surroundings, all taxes have been doubled, and the annual income is not less than eight million taels of silver according to the number of people and acres of cultivated land, and there are 48 million taels of silver in six years, and if you add the reduction and exemption in the disaster year, it is as high as 67 million taels of silver!

Looking at the boundaries of the Tang Kingdom in the south, there are many local states, counties, and counties that Liuchengjing can intervene in, and the tax silver deducted and the tax silver reduced in the disaster year have all gone into Liuchengjing's pocket. This is a petition jointly written by the displaced people in Shudi! I hope that the emperor can make the decision for the victims of the disaster in our Shu land!"

Saying that, Su Juren took out a thick piece of gray-white cloth, which was more elaborated in addition to what Su Juren had just said, including the amount of silver money obtained by the Liu family in this tax infringement case, and the following were all names of a person, as well as purple-black blood fingerprints, it was really a history of blood and tears of tens of thousands of people!

Li Bi took it with trembling fingers and looked at it carefully, he already fully believed the facts Su Juren said, and the human and material evidence was gathered!

Zi Yao looked at Li Bi's hesitant appearance, understood his thoughts, walked over, grabbed the appeal, and threw it to Su Juren.

He said coldly, "Su Juren will take a few of your fellow villagers back tomorrow! The emperor will not make the decision for you, after all, Liu Chengjing is the emperor's uncle, as an emperor who pursues filial piety in the world, how can he consider the bitterness and happiness of the little people!"

The sharp and indifferent language made Li Bi a little unbearable, "Teacher, it's not that I don't want to move, it's just that it's ......still early."

Zi Yao sneered: "Wait, right, wait for you to be full-fledged and governing! But what about these people! They are in dire straits now, you are the king, where is there a king without the people who support you? Or do you have to wait for the Liu family to imprison you forever and then think about dealing with it?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, although Zi Yao's words made people extremely uncomfortable, but Li Bi knew that this was the teacher worried about him, and suddenly asked in surprise: "The Liu family wants to rebel?"

Zi Yao looked at Li Bi like this, "If you want to be a Ming Jun, you must understand the temperament and ambition of all your courtiers, trust is not laissez-faire, and only by having a good supervision system can you sit back and relax, if your little uncle is like this, the Li family will soon be renamed!"

Li Bi looked at Li Zhi, Li Zhi nodded in affirmation of Zi Yao's words, and he muttered in disbelief, "How dare he?"

Zi Yao said solemnly: "You should have guessed that the emperor will be replaced today, isn't it! A relative is a relative, if you want to stabilize the political power, you must naturally hold it in your own hands, and you can give some talented people certain rights, but you must have a degree, not blind trust!"

Zi Yao waved her hand and asked Su Juren to wait and rest.

The three of them returned to Zi Yao's study, Zi Yao took out the map she had discussed with Li Zhi before, and the three of them began to discuss seriously.

Li Zhi pointed to the red positions in the picture and explained them one by one, "Your Majesty, these local officials or garrisons marked in red are all descendants of the Liu family, and the blue marks are all royalists.

In terms of location and area, we still have an advantage, but now we have to be justified to capture the thief and the king, so we must immediately detain Liu Chengjing and the relevant personnel of the Liu family, and at the same time let the three divisions interrogate to convince the public, according to our investigation, there are no less than eight hundred secret guards around Liu Chengjing, so the means are also extremely powerful, we have to be careful, for the time being, you don't want to go back to the palace, it is the safest here in Baili Gongzi!"

Li Bi thought about it and shook his head, although he agreed with Li Zhi's point of view, but the palace must go back, because he is the emperor "I must go back to the palace, after all, Concubine Yao doesn't know my situation yet, I'm afraid I have to worry." Uncle Huang, can we compete with the forces in our hands in this way? How can we seize it? Besides, Uncle Huang's poison has not yet been solved!"

Although Li Zhi was dissatisfied with the emperor's canonization of Tian Tian's word 'Yao', he could only pretend to be unsmiling and replied: "I have brought all the senior generals of Yunnan over, and the generals under the Liu family under the four products, I will change a batch in two days, and the soldiers don't care about the relationship between the generals, they just follow the order, so as long as all the generals are broken one by one, it is naturally easy."

The last thing Mr. Baili and I want to see is the loss of life, because no matter how big or small the war is, the people who suffer the greatest losses are the people! As for how to detain them, the day after tomorrow is not the Thousand Autumn Festival, and it is still okay to let the ministers enter the palace for a banquet on the emperor's birthday!" After speaking, he raised his leg and took two steps, and Li Bi realized that these imperial uncles pretended to be sick in order to paralyze the Liu family.

couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Li Bi nodded, "Everything has Uncle Lao Huang! If the queen mother wants to support the Liu family in the palace, she will be imprisoned directly!"

Looking at Zi Yao, he hugged his fists and bowed deeply, "Teacher Baili, thank you for being able to help at this time, he will definitely thank you in the future!"

Zi Yao rolled her eyes and shook the fan in her hand, "Okay, the emperor is the emperor, there is no need to be so low, besides, I did this because you are my student and have to protect it, and the other reason is that the King of Freedom begged me, and I can't shirk it, so let's gossip less!"

The three of them got together and scrutinized every detail repeatedly, and gradually the sky brightened, and Ziyao also listened to Qibao's report and knew the Liu family's plan and schedule, so she was still more relieved.
