Fast Travel: Those Years of Saving Destiny

Rong Wen in the palace was secretly stirring up trouble, and Li Zizuo in Qingzhou was also secretly stirring up trouble.

The snipe and the clam quarreled, and the fisherman benefited. Li Zizuo was equal to the fisherman. He was not his loyal and patriotic father. He could not tolerate the corruption and cruel officials of the current dynasty. Although the northwest was relatively peaceful under the governance of his Li family, the people underneath There are also many undercurrents. After all, the city of West Beijing has always adopted a suppressive policy. Military pay never arrived on time, and deductions were common. The massive tax collection during the late emperor's reign aroused public anger. Nowadays there is famine and chaos everywhere.

Looking at the news coming from the capital in his hand, a trace of ambition flashed across Li Zizhuo's face, and his shrewd eyes were filled with ambition and desire.

"An Yi, do you think our Empress Rong will be a good partner?" Li Zizuo raised his head and looked in the direction of the window, and then a deep voice sounded gently, "Hasn't the master already cooperated with her? Did you? And the second lady was sent over as a hostage."

"Really? That second lady is really the best treated hostage in history." Li Zizhao casually put the note in his hand on the lamp and burned it. As the ashes were born, his expression returned to his usual expression. "The second young lady who is kept in the dark, the empress and the minister of etiquette who are devoted to planning for her are getting more and more interesting."

"Master, what are you going to do next?" Although Li Zizuo's expression could not be seen clearly through the window, An Yi could imagine his own master's calculating expression, but his expression remained calm, although his heart was turbulent. Zeng Sheng.

"If you don't do anything, there are more and more rebellions and civil disobedience everywhere. The more the authorities suppress them, the more they will rebound. When there are no more people left, they will think of the Li Family Army stationed on the border. But whether it is a civilian rebellion or a defense against foreign enemies, it depends on Let’s see how our Majesty decides.”

Li Zizhuo thought that if the other party wanted to be a wise king, he would definitely punish corrupt officials and resolve civil unrest. Unfortunately, he overestimated his majesty, who was lost in power and changed his mind.

With the beginning of spring after the new year, people everywhere have fallen into complete hardship. Insect plagues and floods have made crops in the fields useless. However, this is not the most desperate thing. The most desperate thing is the tax revenue that is coming one after another. Officials simply couldn't see the hardship of the people, or they didn't care about the hardship of the people at all. Instead of reducing or reducing taxes, they increased the taxes. This made the people who had been suppressed to the bottom also develop a rebellious mentality. A man swung his stick, and the first splash of bright red liquid was followed by more and more people rising up to resist.

Starting from a remote village, it burned like a fire, until it burned to the entire town. The mud-legged people who were once suppressed underground became the people in charge, and the rich who were unkind to their wealth also became the targets of robbery. It was all wailing and blood, and these completely aroused the rebellious psychology of more people.

A single spark is enough to start a prairie fire. As things expand, more and more people join in. The solution from the top is to suppress it with force. Unarmed people and well-equipped troops have no chance of winning against the people. But the more oppression there was, the more resistance there was, so that in the end things were completely unsuppressable, and the people's rebellion that originally only existed in one city evolved into neighboring towns joining in.

The frightened local officials were completely helpless and could only rush to report overnight. Unfortunately, the public resentment had reached its peak at this time and could not be solved by reporting. At this time, Li Sheng, who was passively delayed in getting the news, was also a little dumbfounded. He just ascended the throne. In the first year of , this public dissatisfaction almost overturned half of the dynasty.

At this time, Li Sheng no longer cared about the beauty land, and quickly got up to deal with government affairs. As for the concubine Feng Guifei who had originally agreed with Xu You, there was no movement at this time. Xu You was so angry that he was beating and beating in the palace. For a period of time, the harem was very lively, no less lively than in the previous dynasty.

Without Rong Wen blocking him in front, Xu You's arrogance was infinitely magnified. When it spread to the previous dynasty, it affected the senses of a large number of officials, and everyone also had opinions on Mr. Xu, the Minister of War. This is true. Rong Wen and Li Zizuo didn't expect it, but they were happy to see it happen.

It was the second year after Li Sheng ascended the throne that the people were in dire straits. The current situation of the Qiu Ding Dynasty also seemed to be a kind of denial of Li Sheng's ascension to the throne. The rumors about him getting the throne seemed to spread all over the country overnight, even at the foot of the capital. The storytellers began to publicize it. The once peaceful singing and dancing seemed to be an illusion, and those who once supported Li Sheng also remained silent or ambiguous in this invisible coup.

The previous dynasty was not going well, Li Sheng was angry, but he had nothing to do with these people. After all, he could kill one person, but he could not kill them all. What's more, the rumors about him seizing the throne and lusting after his brother were true, even if he didn't Take action directly, but secret promotion is indispensable.

Li Sheng, who knew he was in the wrong, could only force the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites and other departments to deal with it. Unfortunately, everyone who had talked freely in the past retreated when they needed to stand up. Li Sheng, who had no one to use, finally found his way to the Ministry of Rites. Lord Shang Shurong reminded him of the Li family who was sent to the northwest to guard the frontier a few years ago. Although he was very reluctant, Li Sheng, who had no one to help him, could only swallow the bitter pill and ordered Li Zizuo to return to the court.

When the edict arrived in Qingzhou in the northwest, Li Zizuo finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately organized his troops and returned to the court.

Before leaving, Li Zizuo was taken to the study by General Li for a secret conversation. However, perhaps the content of the conversation was not very smooth, so that when General Li left the study, he basically threw away his sleeves with a dark face, and he Li Zizhuo's face behind him didn't look much better either.

Only the two of them know about this conversation between father and son, and no one else knows.

Li Zizuo is a general in Qingzhou and is most familiar with military affairs. However, after all, it is a civil riot and it is not feasible to suppress it with force alone. Therefore, Li Zizuo combined the local officials' rescue policies and Li Sheng's edict not to hold any responsibility. Next, the riot lasted for three months before it was resolved.

The lake surface returned to calm again. Looking at the people and officials who were in their respective places, everyone knew that this was just a superficial recovery, and the riots underneath were about to begin.

After solving everything, Li Zizuo once again stepped into the capital. The Li Mansion, which had once been mistakenly thought to be in decline, opened its door again. Faced with all the invitations, Li Zizuo declined. He stayed in the capital for half a month before returning again. He led the team back to Qingzhou.
