Yu Su is not a person, but the leader of a faction in the imperial court.
Zhang Family is so powerful that Yu Su can still be defeated, which is a testament to its power.
Even if he is not as capable as Chancellor Long, Chancellor Zhang and the like, and has the ability to subvert the world, he will not be imprisoned for the sins of his tribe.
Zhou Yi concluded that the imperial court concealed the truth.
Yuan Shun As the commander of Brocade Guard, he supervises all officials and is rarely unaware of the affairs of the court. "The real reason why Mr. Yu is in prison is that he tried to persuade His Majesty to change the tax law."
Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a deep voice, "Yu Su wants to collect taxes from scholars?"
"Your Majesty is wise! The Yong Tiger is watching with eager eyes. In order to avoid the Renyin Coup again, the imperial court sent most of the tax revenue to support the army in Northern Xinjiang."
Yuan Shun said, "Coupled with the continuous natural disasters in recent years, the local and state governments are in urgent need of disaster relief funds. Ministry of Revenue has already been unable to make ends meet. Mr. Yu took the opportunity to make suggestions to reform the tax system and remove the tax exemption law for officials and gentry."
"No wonder he was abandoned."
Zhou Yi was suddenly enlightened and asked again, "What does the emperor think of this matter?"
"According to what Shangyang Palace's chamberlain said, His Majesty Yu originally persuaded His Majesty to first find a place to try to collect taxes. Later Vice Premier Qin met in private and said that Lord Yu was the next Chancellor Long and Chancellor Zhang, which made His Majesty suspicious."
Yuan Shun said, "Master Qin also said that His Majesty and the scholar-bureaucrats govern the world, not the common people. If the court is short of money, it can just increase taxes. Don't shake the foundation of the court."
"What a great foundation for the imperial court! Little Yuanzi, send someone to do something."
Zhou Yi does not think Yu Su can reform the tax system. Even without Vice Premier Qin, there will be others who will come to see him.
Emperor Zhengtong No matter how much you support him, he can't help but the officials and distinguished officials taking turns to say bad things. Yu Su will be jailed sooner or later.
Yuan Shun bowed and said, "My lord, please give me your instructions."
Zhou Yi ordered, "Use Brocade Guard's traditional craftsmanship to make a dragon robe and place it in Yu Su's home, and then send someone to report it to the censor."
Yuan Shun said doubtfully, "My lord, no one will believe that Master Yu can make dragon robes."
"Everyone knows it was framed, but it does not affect the conviction!"
Zhou Yi was not sure what Yu Su was thinking, so he just went with the flow and was forced to go to the end.
Twenty years of orthodoxy.
Autumn.
Yu Su was charged with treason for hiding the dragon robe.
His people committed many crimes, ranging from exile to beheading.
Execution Grounds.
Yu Su was wearing prison uniform and fell to his knees.
Thousands of people gathered here to look at the lonely old man on the execution ground.
Over the years, Yu Qingtian's reputation has long spread throughout the Fengyang Kingdom, especially the reform of official governance, which has truly affected every common person.
Now, Qingtian is dying!
Imperial Guards, who was on duty at the execution ground, kept shouting and scolding, but he still couldn't stop the outcry.
The execution officer raised his head and looked at the sun. Fearing that if he delayed the execution any longer and would cause civil unrest, he took out a sign with the word "severe" and was about to say execution.
An arrow whizzed over and penetrated the executioner's chest.
Dozens of figures jumped out from the crowd of people and rushed towards Yu Su on the execution ground.
"Someone robbed the execution ground!"
The supervisor's face turned pale and he quickly shouted for Imperial Guards to encircle and suppress him. If Yu Su didn't die, he would die.
However, these people were all masters of martial arts and cooperated with each other tacitly. After rescuing Yu Su, they easily broke through Imperial Guards's encirclement and suppression, blended into the surging crowd, and rushed towards the north gate.
"Hmph! Yu Su, you really have different intentions!"
The sound is like thunder and the speed is like ghosts.
An old figure flew in the sky, rising and falling among the crowd. The innate energy condensed into a palm print and slapped the man who was running away with Yu Su on his back.
"Go back, old guy!"
The black spear came through the air and stabbed directly at the old man.
boom!
There was a loud noise, and the old man flew back, spitting out blood.
Chen Jinyu held a dark iron spear and pointed it at the old man in the air, the murderous aura of the fierce battle formation almost solidifying.
"It's you!"
The old man's eyes narrowed slightly. The death of Feng Zhong shocked the government and the public. One of the assassins' weapons was a spear.
At this time.
Two more old figures landed on the execution ground, surrounding Chen Jinyu like horns.
The old man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Little baby, Brocade Guard has received news a long time ago that someone wants to rob the execution ground. If the three of me work together, no one in the world can defeat you. Today is the day you die!"
Chen Jinyu saw that Yu Su had gone far away, his footsteps tapped the ground lightly, and he quickly retreated.
The old man jumped into pursuit and heard a voice in his ears.
"Your opponent is me!"
"Who?"
The old man was about to look back when suddenly his hair stood on end and he suddenly moved half a foot in the air.
brush!
The green long sword passed by, easily breaking through the body's protective energy, and cut off the old man's shoulder at the root.
The old man screamed, and his movements were like ghosts, turning into three or four phantoms. However, humans are not as flexible, convenient and fast as a flying sword. The long sword spun around in the air and cut off all the phantoms.
The shadow dissipated, revealing the old man broken into two pieces.
Innate Grandmaster's vitality is tenacious, and even though he was cut in half, his breath still remained. The old man watched the flying sword fall into the hands of the middle-aged man in Jinyi, and said in horror.
"Are you a descendant of Duke Who Pacifies the Nation?"
Fengyang Kingdom Over the hundreds of years, Martial Grandmaster has been recorded, and only Duke Who Pacifies the Nation has the secret technique of flying swords.
"I am the parent and son of Duke Who Pacifies the Nation!"
Li Hong held a long sword and glanced at the remaining two masters. Since the distance was more than ten feet, the flying sword could not kill them.
The two masters looked at each other, filled with fear, and disappeared from the execution ground in an instant.
Shangyang Palace.
"Trash! They are all trash!"
Emperor Zhengtong cursed angrily. He almost fainted after hearing Imperial Guards's report.
The new Qin ministers Chief Minister, Six Bu Shangshu, Imperial Guards Dutong Yang Zheng and other ministers knelt on the ground, obediently listening to Emperor Zhengtong's reprimands, and were equally horrified that Yu Su had been robbed.
This is not a simple tribulation field!
Yu Su has a clean and upright character and will never take the initiative to make friends with powerful people. The powerful people must need him.
A bad old man, unable to carry his shoulders or lift his hands, the only thing he can do is govern the people and the country.
What's more, the person who kidnapped him was the remnant of Duke Who Pacifies the Nation!
Emperor Zhengtong vented his anger and said coldly, "Why don't any of you speak?"
Qin Chief Minister felt Emperor Zhengtong's gaze falling on him and knew he had to speak.
"Your Majesty, if the remnants of the Li family dare to show up, they must be fully prepared, and there may be an uprising in the near future. The imperial court must take precautions. Capital Garrison can be sent to the capital to protect him, and Brocade Guard can be ordered to thoroughly investigate where Li Ni is hiding!"
Emperor Zhengtong pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes."
Brocade Guard Commander Yuan Shun, who was the only official standing in the palace, knelt on the ground after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty! Brocade Guard In recent years, I have indeed noticed Li Ni's traces. I only wanted to arrest him and report him to Your Majesty. I never wanted to cause such a big trouble."
"Yuan Aiqing does not need to blame himself. This advance warning has been effective. It is only Imperial Guards's fault for improper security."
Emperor Zhengtong looked a little gentler and asked, "Where can I find Brocade Guard? Can we know the extent of its power?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, Li Ni has been active in the Jiangnan area in recent years."
Yuan Shun had a look of helplessness on his face. "It's just that Brocade Guard is in the south of the Yangtze River and is too subject to local control. After many years of exploration, we can only vaguely detect traces, and we don't know where Li Ni is hiding."
Upon hearing this, the ministers in the palace looked at Yang Zheng.
Jiangnan is controlled by the Aristocratic Clan. Imperial power may not have been effective in the past. Only they can protect Li Ni.
Yang Zheng pretended to be frightened. "Your Majesty, the Yang family is loyal to the court and will never collude with Li Ni!"
Emperor Zhengtong looked gloomy. Even Yang Zheng could only guarantee the Yang family, but had no confidence in the other seven families who were in the same league.
If Li Ni gets Jiangnan Aristocratic Families's help, he can easily gather an army of one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand troops. Just like the Cang Huang rebellion back then, it will definitely be a catastrophe that shakes the foundation of the country.
"Your Majesty, this matter must be guarded against!"
Qin Chief Minister said, "Back then Duke Who Pacifies the Nation swept the world, and his son may inherit the mantle of military literature. It is not safe to rely only on Capital Garrison."
Emperor Zhengtong nodded slightly, familiar with the history of the country and clearly aware of Duke Who Pacifies the Nation's divine power.
Capital Garrison has been reorganized by Yu Su and has reached full capacity. He is also diligent in training on weekdays. However, with little experience in battle, it is difficult to say how high his combat power is.
Seeing His Majesty looking over, Minister Yan from the Ministry of War said bravely, "Your Majesty, the Northern Xinjiang army has been fighting all year round. It is the elite of the country. It can deploy one hundred thousand troops to defend Shenjing. It is absolutely foolproof."
Emperor Zhengtong pondered for a moment, either afraid of Duke Who Pacifies the Nation's reputation, or thinking about taking over the military power in northern Xinjiang, and nodded.
"Yun!"
I wrote and deleted a lot last night, which slightly sped up the plot. I'm extremely sorry for making readers wait in vain.
