Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes were worried, and with trust in Liyanghou, she wanted to snuggle up to Liyanghou's side, but she was afraid of the people around her, so she could only bow her head and say: "Xiao'er made a big mistake because of the traitor and bewitchment, but he is kind-hearted and has never harmed anyone, so he deserves a happy end." It's a pity that our mother and son actually said goodbye in such a way, which is really unbearable. ”

Zhang Xiaowu was surprised in his heart, the Empress Dowager Zhang he knew was a woman who was proud and impatient and wanted to surpass others at all times, even in the face of the emperor, she did not care about the other party's face, she had never been such a young daughter, and she did not rely on other people's actions, and today really opened his eyes, it turned out that this proud woman also has a meek time. He then smiled again in his heart, Emperor Taiqian's favorite concubine, it turned out that there were other people in his heart, it seems that Emperor Taiqian was either not charming, or his ability was not good, and he did not really conquer Empress Dowager Zhang's heart.

Liyang Hou explained softly: "The emperor has repeatedly weakened the power of the scholars, and the equal taxation law introduced two months ago really broke the hearts of the scholars. Yan'er, do you know, who did the Holy Han Empire rely on to conquer the world? And by whom will the world be strengthened? They are all the children of the scholar clan in the Xuanyuan family with no regrets, and they are dedicated to the Holy Han Empire. But as soon as His Majesty's equalization law came out, the scholars suffered heavy losses, and they would inevitably dislike such a bloody storm, how could he not expect it? ”

Zhang Xiaowu didn't know what the uniform law was, because he didn't have any land, and he didn't need to pay taxes, and in the past few months, he was busy with the reform of the Yinyi Guard and the case of the Tianhuo Sect, and he didn't go to the court, and he didn't know what the uniform law was and what disputes it caused in the court.

This law is not an uncommon tax law, but refers to the requirement that all land in the world be taxed according to the area of the field, and exempted the 3,000 mu of the scholar from tax exemption, because the right side of the end in the verification of the tax found that almost all the scholars have good land but do not pay a tax, and many people in order to pay less taxes will hang their fields in the name of the scholars, and they themselves become tenants of the scholars, and from then on only need to pay the land of the scholars and do not need to pay the national taxes, and in the long run, the national fields are becoming less and less. As a result, the country's income is also decreasing.

In order to change this blood-sucking situation of eating the country's land endowment, Xiang Ruizhen, the right minister from the head of the household department, proposed the uniform tax law to the scholars, and strictly required all land in the country to implement the law of tithes. Xiang Rui promised Emperor Dade that after tithing, the state tax would be doubled next year (the third year of Dade), and Emperor Dade immediately allowed to play, and Xiang Rui promoted the law of equal taxation. However, the equalization law really hurt too many scholars, almost all of whom secretly hid land and kept tenants privately, and after the implementation of the equalization law, their income will not only be greatly reduced, but also lose many tenants and land, which will fundamentally shake their interests.

However, at this moment, Zhang Xiaowu did not know about the uniform law, as an official living in Longdu, he had no feeling for the uniform law, and he did not realize how much turmoil the uniform law would bring to the country. Emperor Dade's eager reforms eventually led to the coup d'état, and the young Jin king became the target of support from the scholars.

Zhang Xiaowu did not continue to listen to them, he chose to escape from the cold palace, because this place could no longer be used as a crossroads for them to escape, he returned to the crowd, briefly explained the inside, speculated that there were three hundred rebels, and informed everyone of the Helan Sect's rebellion.

Emperor Dade was so angry that he almost vomited blood, gritted his teeth and said: "I just dismissed Helan Sect from his military position, but I didn't expect him to be so ungrateful and rebel." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Helan Sect has a stubborn personality, although Your Majesty has protected him, but in his opinion, Your Majesty is indiscriminate in listening to traitors. ”

Emperor Dade said: "I really can't punish the crimes of the Marquis of Yingchuan, just reprimand, after all, the wolf guards are loyal to the Marquis of Yingchuan, if I punish him, I am afraid that he will turn his head and take refuge in Wuhuan, if the two wolf passes are the land of Wuhuan, when the dog enters the Central Plains, it will bring historical catastrophe to the Central Plains." I also know that Helan Sect has been wronged, and I also know that this Marquis of Yingchuan is arrogant and has made a big mistake, but what can I do? The ancestor let the Murong family guard the two wolf passes for generations, creating a situation where the tail is now too big to fall, alas-why doesn't he know the severity? ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Helan Zong is a martial artist, not a politician, he doesn't know how to weigh the pros and cons, so his mind is easy to be used." ”

Emperor Dade waved his hand and said: "That's it, that's it, now now, escape from the palace first and then make plans." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Okay." ”

Everyone discussed again, since Helan Sect led the army to kill from the north gate, they could only flee to the distance, that is, the south gate. Outside the south gate of the palace is the eight departments and six courtyards of the imperial city, and there are still hundreds of royal forest troops in the eight departments and six courtyards that can help them escape, but now that the south gate is occupied by the rebels, they need to deceive the rebels.

Zhang Xiaowu suddenly proposed: "Li Canglan led the Helanzong forbidden army into the imperial city, so to speak, the two rebels do not look at each other, we only need to disguise Li Canglan's rebels in front of Helanzong's people, and disguise Helanzong's rebels in front of Li Canglan's rebels, so that we can deceive the two rebels." When we arrived at the south gate, we deceived Li Canglan's rebels and said that we were a rebel army of Helan Sect, and we were ordered to enter the eight departments and six courtyards to search for Emperor Dade, and we should be able to deceive them. ”

Although the people were suspicious, it was only like this, so they immediately turned their horses and headed towards the south side of the palace. But they rode horses with some swagger, and they encountered many rebels along the road, everyone looked sideways, and Zhang Xiaowu secretly screamed in his heart that it was inappropriate. Sure enough, when passing by the Millennium Palace, he bumped into a group of people head-on. The rebels that Zhang Xiaowu and the others had encountered before were no more than fifty people at most, while the Yidu team had one hundred and fifty people, so they detoured very wisely. But just as they were about to retreat, a group of rebels appeared in the rear, and they were trapped between the narrow corridors in the middle.

Everyone was anxious, Zhang Xiaowu waved his hand, rode his horse and continued to move forward, and when he approached the front team, he said: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

The other party immediately replied: "The Queen Mother is blessed with a thousand years of happiness like the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan." ”

Zhang Xiaowu nodded and said, "On the orders of General Helan, we rushed to the south gate to prevent the tyrant from escaping to the south gate and joining up with the Imperial Forest Army." ”

"Give way." The other lieutenant immediately ordered.

Zhang Xiaowu and the others rode their horses slowly, and when the distance was far away, they immediately accelerated their pace. But soon, I heard a shout from behind: "Don't let them run!" ”

"General Helan didn't bring cavalry into the palace, they were fake."

"Don't run away from them."

"Damn the Guards!"

Zhang Xiaowu shouted: "We have been discovered, everyone listens to the order, protects the emperor, and kills me to the south gate." Whether everyone can escape or not depends on this time. Remember, speed, time, speed! ”
