Although it was only a short sentence, Yan Yanghou was so shocked that he couldn't eat, and he hurriedly raised his head and said, "No one discussed with me, and no one asked my opinion. My family has 3,000 acres of land, which just meets the requirements of tax exemption, so the reform of the tax law has nothing to do with my Yanyang Hou Mansion. On the contrary, the biggest advantage of the tax reform system is that it can increase the land in the hands of the people, and it will be easier for us to collect grain and goods for trade. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "It is precisely because of this that I believe in Hou Ye, please enter the palace to discuss, because all the people in the court, only Hou Ye is the most supportive of the reform." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Yan Yanghou smiled and waved his hand.

"You are also the least likely to rebel." Zhang Xiaowu had a smile on his face, staring at him with interest, his eyes flashed, and his killing intent rose.

Yan Yanghou's smile froze instantly, he immediately realized his crisis after many years in Longdu, although this person was once very likely to become his grandson-in-law, but in the face of the chaotic situation of a coup d'état, what relatives, what family affection was thrown aside. For the sake of safety, he immediately said: "Lord Shaobao, rest assured, the Marquis of Yanyang has been loyal to the emperor for generations, how can he rebel?" Your Majesty is very good to my Gu family, and it is impossible for the Gu family to do that kind of thing that loses their conscience. ”

"That's the best, that's the best." Zhang Xiaowu nodded, his smile appeared like the sun after the rain, in the extreme time his like a cold winter and warm summer, even more his repetition and eagerness, he said slowly: "Your Majesty implemented the tax law reform, I don't know, when I know about it, the thief can't wait to do it, if I know about it in advance, I will definitely persuade Your Majesty to use other methods to reform the system, instead of this way." The reform of the tax law touched the interests of almost all the scholars and families, so that if one person pulled the flag and rebelled, there were hundreds of people who echoed, so His Majesty will stop the reform of the tax law, and this matter needs to be explained to the scholars by the Hou Ye as a messenger. ”

"Me?" Yanyang Hou was taken aback, "The emperor asked me to act as a messenger?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "It's me, not the emperor, Your Majesty is temporarily recuperating from his injuries in this matter, and it is inconvenient to come forward, and all orders will be issued by me." ”

"Well, I thought that people were old and could live for a long time, but I didn't expect this old bone to be a little useful." Yan Yanghou laughed at himself and said, "I'll go now." ”

"No hurry, one more thing."

"Lord Shaobao, please speak."

After Zhang Xiaowu took a sip of hot soup, he asked in a relaxed tone, "Does Master Hou know the text over there?" ”

"Naturally, I know that the eleventh son of the eighteen righteous sons of Dushan Bo, the son of Kaicheng Bobianxue, Kaicheng Bo is also one of the eleventh eleventh elders." Yanyang Hou said.

Zhang Xiaowu said again: "How big is the Bian family's industry? ”

"Why did Shao Bao ask the Bian family?"

"I'm judging whether Bian Wen can raise a glass to rebel against the conditions."

"It's impossible." Yanyang Hou said firmly, "The Bian family has never participated in the battle for the crown prince, the Bian family has an ancestral training, if it weren't for this ancestral training, the Bian family would have been wiped out because of participating in the battle for the crown prince." He shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then explained: "For the nobles, it is enough to be loyal only to the empire, and there is no need to be loyal to the crown prince. After all, if the imperial family is finally safe for a thousand years, and if it is caught in the battle for the crown prince, there is half the risk of the extinction of the clan - you see that my Gu family is like this, and it was almost strained. If it weren't for His Majesty's kindness, I'm afraid that the Gu family would have been gone long ago. ”

Zhang Xiaowu understood the meaning and sent Yanyang Hou out of the imperial city, and at this time there was a gratifying news that the jade seal of the country was found, and with the jade seal, Zhang Xiaowu could fake the holy decree. However, he still gave the jade seal to Tang Guifei first, and Tang Guifei was responsible for keeping it, but at the same time, Tang Guifei also said that if Lord Shaobao needed it, she could take it herself. Zhang Xiaowu knew that this was just politeness, so he only smiled slightly.

At the same time, Helan Zong led the entire Qinglong Army to kill the Zilong Army camp.

However, at the gate of the Zilong Army's camp, Yin Fengnian, the deputy commander of the Zilong Army, led the crowd out, willing to say that the Zilong Army was not allowed to resist and was captured, Helan Zong was taken aback. Of course, he knew that King Jin had bought the Zilong army, but the Zilong army did not participate in the rebellion last night, and there was no sound, and they surrendered early this morning.

Yin Fengnian said: "The king of Jin and the commander Yanda, last night they bewitched everyone to rebel and kill the king, confronted us all night, and disappeared as soon as possible. ”

Helan Zong was surprised: "King Jin is in the camp of the Zilong Army? ”

"Yes, it used to be here, but now I don't know where it is." Yin Fengnian said.

Helan Zong said: "Tell me about last night's incident in detail. ”

With the support of Yanda, the commander of the Zilong Army, the King of Jin secretly sneaked back to Longdu, and convened an emergency meeting of the generals of the Zilong Army together. When they saw the King of Jin in the ranks, they immediately realized something, most of the Zilong army were the nobles of the Dragon Capital and the children of the scholar clan, these people were very smart, and they knew what to do and what not to do. When Yanda clamored for Zilongjun to participate in the rebellion and enter the palace to eliminate the tyrant, they immediately expressed their refusal to rebel, and some people took the opportunity to clamor for the removal of traitorous ministers.

Yan Da, the commander of the Zilong Army, said: "Your Majesty's so-called is really a tyrant's act, which will bring disaster to the country and the people and hurt the vitality of the scholars, and we can't bear it. The King of Jin is the destiny of heaven, and there have long been a group of private alliances such as the Qinglong Army, the Xuanwu Army, the Imperial Forest Army, the Jinyi Guard, and the Longdu Yajun to support the succession of the King of Jin. You are all children of the scholar clan, so you naturally understand that everyone's interests are closely related, and when will you not get rid of the tyrant at this time? ”

"Nonsense, nonsense!" Yin Fengnian, the deputy commander of the Zilong Army, got up and said angrily, "We are loyal to Your Majesty, how can we do such a act that violates our conscience, Your Majesty's so-called national policy, our warriors only need to abide by it, how dare we interfere in the national policy and interfere in the government?" Martial arts interfere in politics, which is really a taboo for the country, and it will bring disaster to the country and the people for thousands of years! Yanda, you are unforgivable, regardless of the severity of your sins. ”

Yan Da was taken aback, slapped the table and said angrily: "Don't you know that I am thinking about the reigning clan? ”

"We are imperial soldiers first, and when we take off our armor and battle robes, we are the children of the warrior clan." Yin Fengnian stood up with his head held high, and the people who supported him also immediately stood up, and King Wan of Jin did not expect that with the full support of Yanda, the commander of the Zilong Army, the Zilong Army did not support him, but instead opposed the usurpation of power by the King of Jin, which was completely contrary to his original expectations, and even contrary to the plan of the prince.

The Zilong army was divided into three factions, the one with the largest number was the royalist faction that opposed the killing of the emperor, the faction with the smallest number was the opposition that supported the king of Jin, and the centrist faction who waited and watched only accounted for 20%. Everyone quarreled fiercely, fearing the persecution of the royalist faction in the Zilong army, and the king of Jin immediately fled that night without knowing where to go.

And Yanda waited until the morning to learn that the silver-clothed guards had occupied the palace and exterminated the rebels, and immediately fled with his people, and he also disappeared. And because Zilongjun did not participate in the rebellion, Helanzong didn't know how to deal with it, so he sent a letter to the young protector in the palace, and he decided the whereabouts of Zilongjun.

Soon, news came from the palace that Yin Fengnian, the deputy commander, was appointed as the commander of the Zhonglang General of the Zilong Army, and immediately hunted down and killed King Jin and Yanda and his party.
