Dressed as Wu Dalang, Jinlian please respect yourself

Chapter 646 Overthrowing the Rebellion
Seeing the satisfied smile on Wu Tian's face, Hubu Shangshu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

He hadn't seen Wu Tian smile for a long time, this time he was finally satisfied.

Wu Tian came back to his senses and ordered the Minister of the Household Department to allocate 1000 million taels of silver to Li Shilang to train a million-dollar navy, and 1000 million taels of silver to the Manufacturing Bureau to manufacture warships.

Although Hubu Shangshu didn't understand, but Wu Tian actually said that, so he nodded in agreement.

……

After Dai Zong led Lin Feng and Lu Fei out of the palace, he returned to his residence to pack his things, and immediately left for Tokyo by train.

As soon as they left the capital of Liangcheng, the news spread to Xiao Tou, the leader of the old nobles in Luoyang City.

When he learned that Wu Tian had sent Dai Zong to deal with them, Xiao Tou was very shocked, and immediately summoned all the old nobles who had followed him in Luoyang City, and informed them of this matter.

When the old nobles learned that Wu Tian was about to attack, some were shocked, some were disdainful, some were terrified, and they were all different.

Among them, Liu Bing, the head of the Liu family who was terrified, said first: "Since Your Majesty has become angry, I think we should surrender. Although we were at fault for repairing the river dam, it is just to pay some money. If there is any, at most With a few angry reprimands, this matter is over. If we resolutely fight against His Majesty to the end, with our strength, we will not be His Majesty's opponent at all."

As soon as Liu Bing's words fell, many old nobles' patriarchs were dissatisfied.

They all cast contemptuous glances at Liu Bing.

The Zhang family advocated standing up, pointed at Liu Bing and said, "You were one of the people who coveted the river money back then. Now that the matter has been discovered, and you know that His Majesty is going to attack us, you are cowardly? It's ridiculous. You Do you think His Majesty will really let you go if you surrender?"

"Patriarch Liu, don't forget that our majesty is not an ordinary majesty. He wants to establish immortal achievements. The flood in Luoyang and the collapse of the river embankment just slapped him hard. He found out that it was us So, if we are caught, even if we are not killed, all our properties will be confiscated. What's more, we gathered together to fight against the ministers Li Li and Li Bing he sent in Luoyang City. In His Majesty's heart, this is already It was treason, how could he let us go?"

As soon as these words came out, they were immediately recognized by many Patriarchs.

They all nodded and echoed Zhang Yi's words.

"Patriarch Liu, we have reached this point, and there is no turning back. Either we will die in His Majesty's hands, or we will overthrow His Majesty and re-establish a regime of our own."

"That's right, His Majesty Liang's power was also taken from the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. We took it from him, and it's not a big deal."

"It's true, the emperor takes turns to do it, and he will come to my house next year."

Everyone laughed and cursed, triumphant, as if they didn't take the fact that Wu Tian sent Dai Zong to arrest them seriously.

Only Liu Bing was very anxious and regretted that he followed them to fight against Wu Tian without thinking clearly for a while.

Things are already like this now, and there is only one way to go to the dark.

"Patriarchs, since we can't make peace with His Majesty, there is only one battle. Liu just wants to ask everyone, do you have any tricks to fight against His Majesty?"

As he spoke, Liu Bing stared closely at Xiao Tou.

Here Xiaotou is the strongest and the most well-informed.

Although the rest of the Patriarchs laughed at Liu Bing for being timid, the questions Liu Bing raised were indeed realistic, and they urgently needed to solve them now.

Their eyes followed Liu Bing and fell on Xiao Tou's face.

Xiaotou frowned slightly, and glanced at all the people present, seeing that they were all waiting for his reply, knowing that if he didn't give an answer that could convince them all, the Patriarch present would probably start to act distorted. Thoughts.

However, Xiao Tou dared to take the lead against Wu Tian, ​​he must have already contacted everything.

He smiled calmly and said: "Patriarchs, you don't have to worry. As early as when you stood up against His Majesty, the old man had already thought that such a day would come, so I contacted the nobles in Guanzhong and the people in the Northwest region in advance. Nobles, the leaders of their two factions have already connected with the old man."

"Everyone agrees that His Majesty Wu Tian suppressed the old nobles of the Central Plains too hard. Part of the monopoly revenue that originally belonged to the nobles was transformed into state ownership, and part was distributed to the poor. As a result, the common people no longer depended on the nobles, and all Put it in the country, and put it in the hands of His Majesty Wu Tian."

"The industries of the old aristocrats have also gradually lost their advantages under the competition of the industries directly governed by His Majesty Wutian, and they may be annexed. If this continues, we old aristocrats will be completely wiped out. So they made an agreement with me, as long as When our side starts to act, their side will also start to act."

"First destroy the main economies of the Central Plains, Guanzhong, and Northwest regions, and then gather refugees and raise troops to seize the main cities. Once this step has been reached, support the descendants of Emperor Song to proclaim themselves emperors, and call on the rest of the people to rise up against Wutian!"

The rest of the Patriarchs were very surprised when they heard this.

They didn't expect that Xiaotou was already ready, and it seemed that he was about to raise his arms.

Xiao Tou was very proud to see all the Patriarchs were surprised.

His Xiao family originally had close ties with the Zhao family of the Song Dynasty. The rise of the Xiao family was due to the secret support of Emperor Demeng Zhao's great ancestor, and was able to become a great aristocrat in the Central Plains with Luoyang as the center in just five years.

Whenever the Song Empire's treasury was unable to make enough money, the Xiao family would join hands with the nobles of the Central Plains to send money to the Song Empire to ensure that the Song Empire's finances would not collapse.

Correspondingly, the Song Empire will give some help to the Xiao family, which supports the Song Empire overtly or secretly, in the officialdom and even in the business field, so as to stabilize their positions.

This has been maintained for nearly a hundred years, but it was finally destroyed by Wu Tian.

At that time, because these nobles were afraid of Wu Tian's power, they did not dare to confront him head-on, but they only stumbling him secretly.

Now Wu Tian's domestic treasury is empty because of his conquest of the tsarist state, and the surrounding borders are not so peaceful, so they dare to move around.

But they were not ready for a showdown with Wu Tian, ​​but they didn't expect that Luoyang floods would expose all the mistakes they made, and they had to face Wu Tian directly.

After a long time, everyone calmed down, especially Liu Bing, who had a sad face just now, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Patriarch Xiao, if I had known that you were already prepared, I wouldn't have said that just now."
