The giant ship cannon was strange and incredible to Ren Xiaoxiao, and of course, she didn't care about it at all—because she hadn't seen it.

Ren Xiaoxiao's biggest problem at the moment is the contradiction between the gold owed to Qin Mu and the growing anger of the people.

The money owed must be repaid, otherwise Qin Mu may bring troops over, and Ren Xiaoxiao feels that the imperial court may not be able to bear it.

Since you can't bully Qin Mu, you can only bully those who you bully. After all, there are only the people.

The people of Bianliang really suffered at this time. Even the little money that was barely left behind after escaping the soaring food prices was also looted by the imperial court - anti-gold tax.

In the name of resisting the invasion of the Jin Kingdom, Ren Xiaoxiao added a new tax. It's called the anti-gold tax.

It is directly apportioned according to the capitation, with an average of one tael of gold per person. Bianliang, with a population of one million, can make up a million taels, even if it is discounted, it can make up hundreds of thousands of taels, so that it is almost enough to make up the missing figure of five million taels.

How could the people in Bianliang City keep one or two gold per capita. But Ren Xiaoxiao doesn't care if you have it or not, this is a tax, and no one can run away. If you don't pay it, you will go to jail until the family finds a way to scrape together the money.

As a result, the prison in Bianliang City was overcrowded, and the people were furious. There is no longer half a person who thinks that the new emperor is good.

The new emperor Zhao Huan is not even as good as Emperor Yang of Sui. This is the King of the Senseless Monarch Shang. Ren Guifei, that is, Daji, is the root of the country's demise.

Faced with this situation, Ye Meng had a headache.

Ye Huande's family fled Suzhou and came to Bianliang, naturally to find Ye Mengde to cry and ask the eldest brother to seek justice for the Ye family.

When Ye Mengde heard that the old nest at home had been copied by Qin Mu, he was also furious. But after all, he has been in Bianliang, and he knows much more about the inside story of the imperial court, as well as the relationship between Ren Xiaoxiao and Qin Mu, than Ye Huande.

Although he didn't know the true situation of Ren Xiaoxiao and Qin Mu, he knew that these two people were very close. Otherwise, as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he would have promoted Qin Mu first.

In the matter of the Ye family, if you go to Ren Xiaoxiao or the new emperor, I am afraid that there will be no good results.

After thinking about it, Ye Mengde decided to find the old emperor Zhao Ji. It is better to let Zhao Ji restore. Now Bianliang City is angry and resentful by the new emperor, and it is simply a country.

Zhao Huan's foundation was very weak, and there were very few private individuals in the Manchu Dynasty, most of whom were Zhao Ji's people. And the position of these people is still very important, Zhao Huan has not yet found his own people to replace these people.

The position of the new emperor was given to him by the old emperor - the Zen position, so can Zhao Huan let it back again!

Ye Mengde began to collude privately for the sake of his own family's affairs and the world of the Great Song Dynasty, preparing to force Zhao Huan to abdicate. Either give it to the old emperor, or give it to someone else, in short, you can't sit in that position anymore.

If you sit down again, the Great Song will be gone, and my house will be gone.

In the Great Song Dynasty, the Hanlin Bachelor was a small group, and it could be regarded as a faction. They collude with each other, take care of each other, lose and prosper, and have a lot of energy.

Ye Mengde's actions made Bianliang City even more turbulent.

King Kang Zhao Gou was extremely satisfied with this situation. Daddy abdicated, the eldest brother did a mess, and the people's desire can only be himself.

He was not afraid of his personal safety, and personally entered the Jin State military camp as a hostage, which brought Zhao Gou great popularity.

If Zhao Gou is now the emperor, the absolute people will support it.

Now the question for Zhao Gou is how to fulfill his promise to Jin Guo - that is, to kill Yue Fei.

Zhao thought about it, but he couldn't think of any good way, so he could only summon Qin Hui over.

"Yes, I look at the world's talents, no more than you. If I am the emperor on another day, you will be my prime minister. Zhao Gou said a word, Qin Hui raised to a height that he would never have imagined.

Qin Hui never imagined that he still had the talent of a prime minister. Can I sit in this position?

He was excited for a while before he understood what Zhao Gou meant. First of all, King Kang must be the emperor before he can be the prime minister. It seems that Zhao Gou is discussing with him how to make him emperor.

This made Qin Hui excited and embarrassed.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by letting Zhao Huan take the throne?" Qin Hui asked tentatively.

"Yes, I'll think about it. At present, there is a problem, Yue Fei's popularity is too high, which is the biggest obstacle to my ascension to the throne. What do you think? ”

Qin Hui thought carefully for a moment. He really couldn't understand how Yue Fei delayed Zhao Gou to become emperor.

He is a fighting man in the army, and the people in the army have always been separated from the court. When will anyone be the emperor, and the army will be able to manage this matter?

Qin Hui couldn't understand the reason, but he knew that since Zhao Gou said so, then there must be something wrong with Yue Fei. Otherwise, why didn't Zhao Gou mention Li Gang and Han Shizhong? These two people are also very popular at the moment.

However, in order to be the prime minister himself, Qin Hui didn't care about Yue Fei's life or death.

He thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, when the Jin army came, none of the armies in the world were the opponents of the Jin people. Only the Yue family army moved against the sky, and the Jin people who fought could not pass Taiyuan. Could it be that Yue Fei is so godly? Even if he is strong in force, the Yue family army is still a Song person, right? How could the Song people beat the Jin people? ”

Zhao Gou suddenly came to his senses. This angle is novel.

"You go on."

"Your Highness, my opinion is that Yue Fei must have colluded with the Jin people. The victories he fought were all deliberately defeated by the people of the Jin Kingdom. ”

"Then Yue Fei's purpose?"

"Gain fame and prestige for your exploits, gain a higher status, and thus master all the forbidden armies. When the Jin people came again, he happened to surrender to the Jin country with his army. At that time, the people of the Jin Kingdom could be said to have entered Bianliang without spending a single soldier. ”

"High! Yes, the prime minister's talent! Zhao Gouda was excited. Qin Hui's reason is simply too correct.

"Yes, we have no basis for this matter. What if the world wants evidence? ”

"Not necessarily." Qin Hui immediately said: "The collusion between Yue Fei and Jin Guo, how can it be possible to leave a handle for people. Let's just look at the facts, and the fact is that Yue Fei has always won battles. That's the best proof of this! The one who wins the battle is the traitor of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

"Wonderful!" Zhao Gou got up and came to Qin Hui and patted him on the shoulder: "I will be the emperor one day, and you will be my prime minister." You and I are of the same heart, and nothing can be accomplished in the world. ”

With Qin Hui's clever plan, Zhao Gou was at ease. He just had to wait patiently for his chance.

The opportunity is not long in coming.

Zhao Huan received information from the front line, and the Jin people raised troops again, and the troops were divided into two routes, from the direction of Youzhou and Datong, to Bianliang.

This frightened Zhao Huan.

He hurriedly asked Ren Xiaoxiao what to do.

"What are you afraid of, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth." Ren Xiaoxiao was not afraid: "Now that the waterway is unblocked, there are countless grains piled up in Bianliang City, and there is no problem in guarding it for two or three years." ”

"But we don't have soldiers." The forbidden army is also the people of Bianliang, and if the people are the people, they can't escape the anti-gold tax. Many of the forbidden soldiers are now in prison, and many more have escaped – unable to pay the money.

"There are people in the world, send a holy decree, let the people of the world come to the king."

"Sister, I'm afraid this thing is not easy to do." Even if Zhao Huan was afraid of Ren Xiaoxiao, he couldn't help but say a few words at this time.

He rarely analyzed the situation in front of Ren Xiaoxiao.

At present, in Bianliang City, the struggle between the two forces of the old and new emperors is extremely fierce, and their holy decrees may not be issued - the courtiers have the power to block them. At the same time, there is a bigger problem, Zhao Huan knows very well that his reputation is too bad.

If you rely on yourself, or even in the name of Ren Xiaoxiao, you will call on the people, I am afraid that no one will come.

After hearing this, Ren Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "It's easy to do." Let King Kang go out of the city and order him to be the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses. He has a good reputation now, and with him in his appearance, he will definitely be able to gather soldiers and horses from all over the world. ”

"Sister's plan!" Zhao Huan's admiration for Ren Xiaoxiao deepened.

There is nothing in the world that can be difficult to live in Ren Xiaoxiao.

When Zhao Gou got this appointment, he immediately realized that his opportunity had come.

He entered the palace and faced Zhao Huan neatly and accepted the appointment. Zhao Gou was willing to be the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and to recruit troops and horses to resist the Jin State. But he had one condition, that is, he had to kill Yue Fei.

"Official," Zhao Gou said to his eldest brother with a heavy heart: "That Yue Fei is treacherous and loyal, harboring evil intentions." He is Li Yuanhao of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Li Yuanhao was a high-ranking official in the Tang Dynasty, and then took advantage of the decline of the Tang Dynasty to divide one side and establish Western Xia.

Zhao Huan was afraid that his position was unstable now, and when he heard Zhao Gou's words, he immediately became interested.

Why, Yue Fei is a traitor. Do you have proof of this?

Zhao Gou immediately added fuel and vinegar to what Qin Hui said. He knew Jin Guo better than Qin Hui, after all, he had colluded with Jin Wushu many times, and he was the one who knew the most about the situation of Jin Guo in the Great Song Dynasty - there was no one.

Now all this information has come out of Yue Fei's mouth. And all this information is classified, and it is impossible for outsiders to know.

This made Zhao Huan suddenly break out in a cold sweat.

How could there be such a big traitor in ambush in Bianliang City. Now that the city defense is all handed over to Yue Fei, if the people of the Jin Kingdom come, as soon as he opens the city gate, won't he be finished.

Thinking of the ferocity of the Jin people, and then fantasizing about being tortured by the Jin people, the key is that Zhao Huan also imagined the scene of Ren Xiaoxiao being insulted by the Jin people.

This must not be tolerated! I'd rather be humiliated than let my sister be violated by others.

Zhao Huan immediately issued a holy decree to arrest Yue Fei.

Although Yue Fei was in Bianliang City, Zhao Huan couldn't wait for a minute. He issued twelve holy decrees in a row to arrest Yue Fei.

Yue Fei had no foundation at all in the court of the Great Song Dynasty. The people of the new emperor did not recognize him, and the people of the old emperor did not recognize him.

His position was created by himself with a knife and a shot. Such a person is in itself the envy of the civil official clique.

It's okay now, Zhu Zi of the Manchu Dynasty - a high-ranking official in the imperial court, no one spoke to Yue Fei.

Yue Fei was inexplicably imprisoned.

Zhao Gou was overjoyed.

"Official, there are many dreams at night, without further ado." Zhao Gou was about to leave the city to recruit troops. Before leaving the city, he must fulfill his promise to the Golden Vultures: "The Golden Soldiers will be killed soon." Big brother, don't forget the situation last time, beware of the Jin people repeating their old tricks. ”

When Zhao Huan heard Lao Jiu's words, he immediately remembered the last time the Jin soldiers besieged the city.

At that time, the Jin State took the old emperor's Zen position as a requirement to retire the soldiers. That's how he got to the throne.

Now the people of the Jin Kingdom are coming again. When the time comes, what if they want to withdraw from the army on the condition of releasing Yue Fei?

Lao Jiu reminded me right! Sure enough, he is a pillar of the country!

"Lao Jiu, don't worry. Yue Fei will definitely not see the sun tomorrow. ”
