Chapter 52, Fengyun Shenwu River (1)
In 873 AD, Tang Yizong Li Luo died.
After the death of Tang Yizong, the powerful minister Tian Lingzi helped the fifth prince Li Yi to become the emperor.
……
Li Yi is the Tang Emperor in history.
……
Isn't it the eldest son who ascended the throne, why did the fifth prince ascend the throne?
The powerful minister Tian Lingzi privately changed the invitation of the former emperor (Tang Yizong).
……
After Tang Xizong became the emperor, he made Tian Lingzi the prime minister.
……
Tian Lingzi became the prime minister, and people began to worry again.
Tian Lingzi is a traitor.
Tian Lingzi is even more treacherous than Ling Fox.
……
Why did Tian Lingzi make the fifth prince the emperor?
The fifth prince is only twelve years old, and the fifth prince listens to him for everything.
……
The emperor is only twelve years old?
Be.
The first emperor Tang Yizong was only forty-one years old, could his son be very big?
……
Therefore, Tian Lingzi is more treacherous than Ling Fox.
Ling Fox rape again, the emperor can remove him from the post of prime minister in one sentence, Tian Lingzi let the twelve-year-old prince be the emperor, and the twelve-year-old emperor will listen to him in the future, he plots against him.
……
What does Tian Lingzi want to do?
He wants to develop his power and become the emperor in the future.
……
This book is called "Who is the King in the Vast World", and another person who wants to be the emperor has appeared.
……
After Tian Lingzi became prime minister, the whole world was cloudy.
Tian Lingzi asked people to increase donations and taxes.
The common people are more bitter.
……
Let's talk about Shenwu Chuan's Li Ke.
After Li Guochang's death, Li Ke succeeded his father as the lord of Shenwu River.
……
At that time, when the emperor gave Li Ke a surname and a name, he gave the name "Li Ke", which means that talents are available, and Li Ke does not like that name.
He thought to himself: I can't be a "cow and horse" for people.
Later, he changed his name slightly, changing "usable" to "keyong".
……
After Li Keyong became the lord of Shenwu Chuanchuan, the people of Shenwu Sichuan lived very well.
The emperor gave him Shenwuchuan, his people don't have to pay taxes, his people grow and eat themselves, and his people live well.
……
Without paying taxes, are people's lives much better?
Be.
Taxes in the feudal era were very strong.
At that time, the productivity was also low, and at that time, there was not much grain per mu of land, and there was not much grain in the field, and people would have a very hard life if they paid a lot of taxes.
Therefore, it is much better to let people live without paying taxes.
……
While Li Keyong was living a good life, he did not forget his father's instructions before he died.
Before his death, his father told him that he still needed to be strengthened.
What do you mean by "need to be consolidated"?
Now the court will not let you pay taxes, and what will happen in the future, what will you do if the court will let you pay taxes in the future?
To prevent water, build a dam first.
In order to prevent the imperial court from paying taxes in the future and developing its strength, it still needs to be consolidated.
……
In order to consolidate, Li Keyong trained his troops frequently.
In order to consolidate, Li Keyong also accepted thirteen righteous sons.
……
The thirteen righteous sons that Li Keyong received were all children of poor families, or their fathers and mothers were unable to raise them, or their fathers and mothers died.
Li Keyong adopted those children as adopted sons.
Li Ke thought with his heart: I have the grace of life for you, I have the grace of raising you, you will definitely repay the favor in the future, and you will be loyal to me in the future.
Li Keyong's thirteen righteous sons are known as the Thirteen Taibao.
There are two of the most outstanding of the Thirteen Taibao, one is the Great Taibao Li Siyuan, and the other is the Thirteenth Taibao Li Cunxiao.
The great Taibao Li Siyuan was the famous good emperor and the second emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty.
The Thirteenth Taibao Li Cunxiao is the most famous Thirteenth Taibao Li Cunxiao during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
……
Rick's use of prevention is really right.
Sure enough, Duan Wenchu, the assassin of Yunzhou, began to calculate Li Ke's use.
In the past, the history of Yunzhou was Fu Xiu, and now Fu Xiu has gone to another place to become an official, and the current history of Yunzhou is Duan Wenchu.
Recently, Wen Chu was very worried.
What is Duan Wenchu's worries?
After Tian Lingzi became the prime minister, Tian Lingzi let the additional donations and taxes, and the additional donations and taxes had to be taxed.
Who collects taxes?
Administrator.
He was the magistrate.
The Yunzhou under his jurisdiction is different from other places.
In other places, when it comes to collecting taxes, everyone has to pay taxes, and in Yunzhou, which he governs, there is a Shenwuchuan that does not pay taxes.
The emperor exempted the tax of Shenwu River, and the tax of Yunzhou Mansion was not exempted at all, how much tax should Yunzhou Mansion pay to the imperial court every year, and how much tax should be paid, if you want to complete the task of the imperial court, you have to collect more from other places outside Shenwu River.
In the past, Fu Xiu, the assassin of Yunzhou, left because of that, he used to collect less taxes, and he could deal with them before, but now he collects more taxes, and now he is not easy to deal with.
What also made Duan Wenchu worried was that the task of the imperial court could not be completed, and many people scolded him.
There is a more serious problem: people in some places see that the people of Shenwuchuan are living well, marry the girl to Shenwuchuan, and go to Shenwuchuan to settle down.
There are fewer and fewer people in other places outside of Shenwu River, and I still collect so many taxes every year, doesn't it make it more difficult for me?
There are fewer and fewer people in other places, and they still pay so many taxes every year, so naturally people in other places have to pay more.
……
Duan Wenchu finally couldn't stand it anymore.
Duan Wenchu thought to himself:
I have to think of a way, if I keep going like this, I won't be able to become an official.
If I keep going like this, not only will I not be able to become an official, but I will also be convicted and beheaded by my superiors!
……
So, Duan Wenchu wanted to get rid of Li Keyong.
Duan Wenchu also knew that it was very difficult to get rid of Li Keyong.
Shenwuchuan was rewarded by the first emperor to Li Ke, can the things rewarded by the first emperor be moved casually?
Li Keyong trains troops every day, Li Keyong's power is not trivial, Li Keyong has thirteen Taibao under his command, how easy is it to get rid of Li Keyong?
In addition to Li Ke's difficulty, it must also be removed.
……
Duan Wenchu came up with an idea.
He went to Hedong Jiedu to make Tian Huang.
Hedong Jiedu envoy Tian Huang is his superior.
……
Duan Wenchu found Tian Huang.
He and Tian Huang are friends.
Duan Wenchu and Tian Huang drank together.
When Tian Huang was half drunk after drinking, Duan Wenchu asked Tian Huang: "Lord Tian, is it true that everyone on the ground in the Tang Dynasty has to pay taxes to the court of the Tang Dynasty?" ”
Tian Huang said: "That's nature. ”
Duan Wenchu said: "What if someone doesn't pay? ”
"Those who don't pay, kill."
"There is a person on the ground in my Yunzhou, he is very powerful, he doesn't want to pay taxes."
"If he doesn't pay it, kill him."
"He's so powerful, I don't dare to kill him."
"Why are you so useless?"
"Yes. I'm useless. Let your adults smile. ”
Tian Huang and Duan Wenchu are friends.
Friends can talk to each other.
Tian Huang asked Duan and Chu, "What do you want?" ”
Duan Wenchu said, "My lord, can you give an order to the person I said?" I want to borrow your tiger power to scare that person. ”
Tian Huang said, "What do you mean ......? ”
At this time, Wen Chu took out a piece of paper and a pen.
Duan Wenchu said: "I would like to ask your Excellency to write a few words on this piece of paper. Write: 'All the people on the ground in the Tang Dynasty had to pay taxes, and those who did not pay were killed.' ’。 ”
Tian Huang said: "Okay. ”
Tian Huang took the piece of paper, and he wrote on the paper, "All those on the ground in the Tang Dynasty must pay taxes, and those who do not pay will be killed." ”。
Then, Tian Huang stamped the great seal of his knotted envoy.
Duan Wenchu was very happy.
Duan Wen Chuxin said: In this way, I can kill Li Keyong.
