Taiping Inn

Chapter 237: Finale

In the first year of Shenlong, Qin Su was exactly forty years old, and Qin Qing was already over 60 years old.

Qin Qing ascended the throne and became emperor, and conferred the title of three generations, and made Bai Xiushang the queen, Qin Daoyuan as the King of Liao, Qin Daofang as the King of Feng, and Situ Xuance made the title of King of Qi with another surname. However, for the ministers and generals, the title of kings is all a trivial matter. The key lies in the candidate for the crown prince. Qin Qing has no son, only one daughter. According to common sense, Qin Qing either takes concubines and continues to have a son or chooses Adopt one son from the descendants of his brother, and then directly establish the crown prince. However, considering Qin Qing's age, it is not realistic to have another son. The key is that Qin Su has too high prestige and has made too great contributions, so Qin Qing chose to establish Qin Su As the Crown Princess, Qin Su adopted the youngest grandson of the second uncle Qin Daoyuan as his son, and was the crown prince.

In this way, although Qin Su would ascend the throne as an emperor as a woman, the inheritance of the throne was still among the male members of the Qin family and would not fall into the foreign surname. Although the ministers had slandered him, they did not strongly oppose it.

After Qin Qing proclaimed himself emperor, many prefectures and counties almost surrendered, and almost showed no fighting. Only Zhang Suqing and Qin Xiang, who were in charge of Xijing, did not respond.

At this time, there were only three chess players left in the world, namely Qin Su, Zhang Suqing and Song Zheng, who had entered the final stage.

During the second year of Shenlong, Qin Qing was in charge of the imperial capital, and King Qin Daofang was in charge of Liaodong to guard against the Jin tent. Qin Su personally led his troops to Jinling Mansion.

The war lasted for more than a year, until the third year of Shenlong, Qin Su had recovered important towns such as Qiantang Prefecture and Guangling Prefecture. Jinling Prefecture became an isolated city. Song Zheng abandoned the city and ran away without a trace. Qin Su conquered Jinling Prefecture, Qingyang, which was once prosperous. The church is finally at a dead end. Qin Su led his army up the river. Dan Taiyun, who was in charge of Baidi City, surrendered and was named King of Shu by Qin Qing, and was also the second king of different surnames. Then the great heavenly master Zhang Jingchen asked to surrender, but Qin Su agreed to him, and still retained his title of great heavenly master and was granted the title of great heavenly master.

In the end, only Zhang Suqing and Qin Xiang were left. Under the general trend, the two had to surrender.

At this point, the world is peaceful. During the four years of Shenlong, Qin Qing discussed merits in the imperial capital. In addition to the kings, seven people including Jing Xiu, Hu Liang, Yun Chengzong, Situ Xuanluo, Zhang Suqing, Qin Xiang were granted the title of Duke. Thirty-six people were granted marquis and seventy-two people were granted marquis. At Qin Su's suggestion, Qin Qing still followed the old system of the previous dynasty, formed a cabinet, and dominated the six ministries, with Yun Chengzong as the chief assistant of the cabinet and Zhang Suqing as the second assistant of the cabinet. Yun Chengzong was so old that he was just a name, but in fact he was in charge of Zhang Suqing. The Grand Governor's Office was established, Jing Xiu was appointed as the Grand Governor, and Qin Xiang was appointed as the Left Governor.

At this time, Qin Qing was nearly 70 years old and had no intention of political affairs, so Qin Su was supervised by the state. Qin Su began to implement Zhang Suqing's new policy in the present world, including the examination of the administration of officials, as well as the system of stakes for the gentry in the world and the system of raising grains for officials and gentry. This move naturally aroused opposition from countless people. Qin Su appointed his confidant as Qingluanwei. The left-ranking governor of the Governor's Office launched a major case, implicating tens of thousands of people, and all the property of the family was confiscated into the Duke.

At the same time, Qin Su revised the tax law and increased commercial tax.

As early as the Great Jin Dynasty, the proportion of commercial taxes in the imperial court's taxes exceeded that of agricultural taxes, and the annual commercial tax revenue was 20 million jin. However, Taizu of the Great Wei despises the merchants, and Taizu of the Great Wei ordered: "The merchant family is only allowed to wear cloth, but there is only one merchant in the farmers' home, and the veil is not allowed to wear gauze." Trade is also compared with farmland farming, "All commercial taxes are taken at thirty, and the life is considered as violation of orders."

You must know,

Trading is different from farming. Due to the long cycle of farming and layered exploitation, it is normal for agricultural tax to be one tenth. However, in general, taxes vary according to industry and scale, at least. Twenty takes one, and most of them is half. The thirty-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-

In this way, merchants had to seek refuge with scholars and officials, that is, the combination of officials and businessmen. For their own interests, scholars and officials resolutely resist taxes and evade taxes. If the emperor wanted to focus on commercial taxes, it would be "competing for profit with the people."

The so-called "The Great Wei lost money" is not because of the weak trade, but because the court could not receive commercial taxes at all and was divided up by the Shilin and merchants.

Dayou inherited the old system of the previous dynasty and inherited the tax system of the previous dynasty. Qin Su naturally wanted to modify the commercial tax. This move naturally affected the vital interests of many people. Even Butian Sect, Qingwei Sect and Cihang Sect had some oppositions. However, the root of these three companies is still in Hai Trade. Qin Su did not take action against Hai Trade. There was no loud voice to object.

After so many years of experience, Qin Su is no longer the little girl who was devoted to the mountains and rivers back then. If she is not inferior to Xu Wugui, she will not turn political affairs into war.

In terms of killing people, Qin Su, or Li Xuandu, who plays chess, knows a truth that killing people by politics is not a siege on the battlefield, but a need to win over one faction, stabilize one faction, and kill another faction.

Qin Su naturally wooed the elderly in Liaodong, led by Jing Xiu, Hu Liang, Yun Chengzong and others, stabilized the people who later surrendered, and led by Zhang Suqing, Qin Xiang and others. Both of these sects were nobles, that is, Yu A person who has made contributions to the world. The person killed can be regarded as a vested person of the previous dynasty, which is exactly what Sikong Daoxuan said about gaining the right and wrong state, and has little to do with the nobles and gentry of the previous dynasty. If the heaven and earth are reopened, the country will naturally gain the right state. The country will last for a long time, otherwise it will be a bad country. For all the nobles, Qin Su attacked these people from the previous dynasty. Not only did they not feel sad about the death of a rabbit, but they would gloat. Look, the Princess still looked at us old people, those who later changed their minds. He is just a villain who is tempted by the flames.

Because of this, Qin Su would not be restrained everywhere like Xu Wugui, but instead could make a difference.

This storm lasted for three years, and it was not until the seventh year of the Shenlong that the world was determined.

However, in this major case, Qin Su completely offended many local noble families. In addition, Qin Su's previous actions of relaxing ethics and restraining women, causing these local noble families to gradually surround the Confucian school, and a targeted one. Qin Su's conspiracy began to brew.

The Qin family has a huge population, but most of them are distant branches. The real direct line only has three brothers. The elder brother Qin Daozheng, that is, Qin Qing, and only his only daughter Qin Su. The third brother Qin Daofang had no children in his early years and did not get a son when he knew the destiny of heaven. Only the second brother Qin Daoyuan has rich descendants, with five sons and three daughters under his knees, and more than a dozen grandchildren, so Qin Su chose to adopt one from his second uncle's grandson to his own knees.

When the seventh year of Shenlong was about to be the 46th year of Qin Su, Qin Daoyuan's eldest son, Qin Su's cousin, was already fifty years old. He died of illness in the sixth year of Shenlong. His second son was also weak and sick. Only the third son, Qin, was a grown-up and strong man, was in the clan. It has a very influential situation and gradually gains real power.

At the same time, Confucianism and aristocratic families

It also united around Qin Weicheng, forming a force that cannot be underestimated. However, the seven dukes including Zhang Suqing, Qin Xiang, Jing Xiu, Situ Xuanluo were still led by Qin Su, and Qin Weicheng did not dare to disobey Qin Su on the surface.

When Qin Qing was old, he realized the creation of heaven and man. Because of the "Taishang Forget the Love Sutra", he gradually developed a world-weary thought and was addicted to refining qi and practicing Taoism, so he handed over all the power to Qin Su. Qin Su was in charge of great power, but he did not know the undercurrents. He summoned his confidants several times and said, "Knowing people and not knowing their faces, not only the king and the ministers, but also the brothers are difficult to know their minds and actions." All the confidants knew what the master had done. When it comes to the words, the master understands the meaning of the Lord, so the situation in the imperial capital became increasingly unpredictable.

During the eight years of the dragon, Qin Qing felt that the ascension period was approaching and did not want to stay in the world for a long time. He personally returned to Liaodong to worship his ancestors. Qin Su stayed in the imperial capital as usual. Before leaving Beijing, Qin Qing revealed the idea of ​​giving a preachment to the emperor and abdicating himself as the emperor, which made Qin Weicheng and others decide to take a risk.

A large number of masters of Confucianism arrived at the imperial capital, and masters of aristocratic families and sects from all over the country also sneaked into the imperial capital one after another, and decided to get rid of Qin Su and support Qin Weicheng to replace him. Before this, people in the Confucian school had already begun to build momentum, claiming that a woman ascending the throne was an act of a hen in charge of the morning, and would definitely harm the country and the people. As long as Qin Su died, it would be natural for Qin to ascend the throne to success.

Qin Su had also noticed it, and secretly transferred Butian Sect, Qingwei Sect, Cihang Sect, Wangqing Sect, Taipinghui, and elite military masters to Beijing, and were filled into Qingluan Guards, waiting for the battle.

On the ninth day of the ninth month, Qin Weicheng attacked and took advantage of the time when Qin Su returned to the palace, all the masters under his command came out to surround Qin Su. All the seven hermits of Confucianism were here, and there were also masters of Wudao Sect under Song Zheng's command back then, including Ji Tianwang and others. However, Qin Su was also prepared. In addition to the many masters transferred to Beijing by Qin Sumi, many Dukes, Boxunqiu are among the few masters in the world. Even when facing Confucian masters, they also have the power to fight.

This is the change in the imperial capital in the world in the book, but it has been nearly thirty years later than it is in this world.

Unlike Li Xuandu during the current imperial capital, Qin Su had already entered the immortal realm for many years and was protected by the "Yin and Yang Immortal Clothes". Not only did he not need protection from others, he even took action to quell the chaos himself and was invincible.

At the critical moment, Song Zheng, who had been missing for many years, suddenly appeared and attacked Qin Su.

This was Song Zheng's last attempt. The chess game takes the world's heart as the way to win. Since ancient times, there have been many dynasties that have died in the second generation, so Li Xuan has not won the chess game yet, but it is not far away. If Song Zheng continued to lie on his back and had no chance of winning, he could only try to sacrifice his life at the last moment. If Qin Su successfully killed him, it would be not difficult to win, and this was also the one that Song Zheng left the city. The reason lies.

Song Zheng has been committed to improving his cultivation over the years, while Qin Su was busy with political affairs and neglecting his cultivation. The two were judged immediately, but Qin Su was prepared. At the critical moment, Qin Qing, who had already returned to Liaodong, suddenly appeared, and King Situ Xuance of Qi. The situation reversed for a while. King Situ Xuance of Qi and other masters blocked the seven hermits of the Confucian sect, Qin Su and his daughter, two of them. Join forces to siege Song Zheng.

In the end, Song Zheng died on the spot, and the Confucian master suffered heavy casualties and fled out of the imperial capital in a panic, with one out of ten remaining. Qin Su executed the rebellious Qin Weicheng, Qin Qing abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor, and Qin Su ascended the throne and became emperor.
