Chapter 2260 Rebellion!

Wang Yue looked at Li Rong and said with an unfathomable smile, "Every drink and every bite is destined by heaven. In the parallel world, the Su family and the Shangguan family caused chaos in the palace and intended to confuse the royal bloodline. They were indeed guilty of the serious crime of killing nine generations of the clan.

In any dynasty, the Su family would not be as light as you dreamed, and wipe out the three tribes! And the Shangguan family would not just die with Shangguan Xu.

And the reason why your mother died was entirely because she was deceived by the Su family and the Shangguan family.

As for Su Rongqing, I'm afraid he was scheming against you from the very beginning, in order to use your favor to influence Emperor Li Chuan.

I guess in the parallel world, it is because of Su Rongqing that you and your husband are becoming increasingly distant. "

When Li Rong saw Wang Yue say this, she quickly shook her head nervously and said, "My dear, that's not me! Don't get me wrong!"

Wang Yue saw how nervous Li Rong was, so he smiled and said, "I won't blame you for your dream, but what I care about is whether there is a shadow of Su Rongqing in your heart!"

Li Rong saw Wang Yue speaking so bluntly. She knew she had to face the problem calmly, so she simply said, "Before you came out, Su Rongqing was the most famous young master in the capital, and he was the dream marriage partner of many unmarried girls in the capital.

But compared to Lang Jun, he is just an ordinary person. If you existed in the parallel world, you would definitely take the position of the first son directly like in this world."

Wang Yue was very happy when he saw Li Rong flattering him awkwardly, but he was still a little depressed because Li Rong's favorability towards him was still stuck at 99% and there was no sign of it improving at all.

Fortunately, Wang Yue understood that the reason why Li Rong’s favorability had not reached the maximum value was not because she had someone else in her heart, so he felt relieved.

As for when it can be fully valued, Wang Yue feels that it will probably be achieved when he helps Li Rong realize her dream.

What Li Rong seemed to care about most was the harmonious coexistence of his family and relatives. He felt that he had to do something.

Just as Wang Yue was thinking this, Xie Wenqing was controlled by Wang Yue's clone and took the government runners to start measuring the Xie family's land. This was to make preliminary preparations for the subsequent collection of taxes.

When the people heard the news, they were extremely excited. They had long been dissatisfied with the fact that the wealthy and powerful families controlled a large amount of land in the country without paying taxes. Now they finally felt relieved.

But now there is only this one family, and the people are obviously unwilling to accept this, so they also expect more noble families to pay taxes together.

Among the eight major families in Beijing, the Yang family has been destroyed, the Xie family is now in rebellion, the Shangguan family is sitting on the sidelines, and the other five major families can no longer sit still.

They gathered together again to discuss countermeasures, and they all agreed that the trouble with Xie Wenqing must be solved.

Originally, this matter should have been handled by the Shangguan family, but the Shangguan family has now closed its doors to visitors and seems unwilling to participate.

When everyone thought of the prince who was going to conquer the country, they somewhat understood why the Shangguan family did not take any action.

After all, the prince is not in the capital at all. No matter what the Shangguan family does, they will be making wedding dresses for others. It is normal for them to want to keep doing nothing.

As for the issue of tax collection, most of the Shangguan family's land is in Youzhou, and the officials there are basically controlled by the Shangguan family. In addition, Youzhou is remote, so it is unknown how long it will take for Youzhou to get its turn.

However, other aristocratic families are different from the Shangguan family. The Shangguan family came to Kyoto after they had a queen. They are outsiders and do not have much land in Kyoto.

However, the other big families in the capital, headed by the Su family, all have their roots in Kyoto. Although they are also very powerful, they do not have as much time as the Shangguan family.

The main reason is that this method of collecting taxes will most likely be implemented first near Kyoto and then gradually spread outward, so there is not much time left for these aristocratic families.

They were worried that they would have no way to retreat, so they set their sights on Concubine Rou and her son, Prince Su!
The Xiao family, to which Concubine Rou belongs, is a poor family. However, since even the wealthy and powerful families had to collect taxes, the poor families were inevitably also subject to the tax.

After all, no matter whether they were from a noble family or a poor family, there was only one reason for tax evasion, that is, scholars who were citizens did not have to pay taxes, and then they concentrated all the land on people with official titles.

The reason why the poor are called poor is because their land and power have been reduced. Essentially, they are unwilling to pay taxes, which is different from ordinary people.

After all, their land holdings were relatively small, so they had been waiting and watching, but they were all united around the Xiao family, Concubine Rou's mother's family, and wanted to move forward and retreat together. However, the poor and the aristocratic families now had common interests, so when the aristocratic families came up, the two sides hit it off and planned to kill Li Ming and push Prince Su to the throne while the prince was away from the capital.

In order not to alert the enemy, they no longer stopped Xie Wenqing's actions, which also gave the people and Li Ming the illusion that the aristocratic families had compromised.

However, their plan might deceive others, but it could not deceive Wang Yue, the old fox. He immediately began to closely monitor the actions in the palace.

In Wang Yue's opinion, as long as Li Ming is not killed, it would not be a problem even if he is seriously ill. At that time, the crown prince can be allowed to govern the country or even ascend the throne.

The only trouble was that Li Chuan, who was traveling around, began to encounter a new round of assassinations, which were unprecedentedly fierce, making both Li Chuan and Qin Zhenzhen feel a sense of crisis.

Fortunately, Qin Zhenzhen's cultivation is getting higher and higher, and ordinary assassinations have no effect on her.
The main reason for this is that after Qin Zhenzhen cultivated her magic power, her swordsmanship became much more powerful, especially when her sword energy left her body. A light sword could cause large numbers of casualties.

The long-range attack of the Exploding Sparks could also injure a large area at once, so as long as she discovered the danger, it would be easy for him to escape.

Of course, the assassins were quite vicious and even hard to guard against. The reason they were not hurt was entirely because they all had the amulets given by Wang Yue.

Ordinary damage is of no use to them at all, and it can temporarily save their lives at critical moments. The only trouble is that they waste amulets too much. In less than a month, they have used up dozens of them!

Both of them were smart people. They found that the amulets they brought with them were consumed too quickly, so they immediately prepared to rush back to Jiulu Mountain.

As the two of them slowly approached Kyoto, the number of assassinations suddenly decreased. It was not because they gave up on the assassinations, but because the time was up and the actions of the poor and the wealthy families had already begun.

In order not to alert the enemy, the rebels need to concentrate their forces and closely monitor the capital.

There were people from the aristocratic families in both the capital and the palace. Therefore, when tens of thousands of rebels from the aristocratic families arrived, the palace was directly breached in one fell swoop.

Li Ming looked at Concubine Rou and Prince Su who were walking in surrounded by the rebels, and asked in disbelief, "Concubine Rou, I have supported your Xiao family from a poor and lonely family to where it is today, and you dare to rebel?"

Concubine Rou sneered and said, "I am just a pawn you use. If you achieve your goal, I am afraid that in the future our Xiao family will be targeted and suppressed by you just like the Shangguan family that supported you to ascend the throne. I am just one step ahead!"

Li Ming was speechless. He did have this idea, but he couldn't admit it now. He said in a timid way, "The prince is still outside. If you rebel like this, you will definitely become a stepping stone for other families. It's not too late for you to regret it now."

Concubine Rou drew her sword and put it on Li Ming's neck, then said coldly, "Don't say any more nonsense. If you have that much time, you might as well hand over the jade seal to me quickly. Otherwise, don't blame me for being cold and ruthless."

Li Ming originally wanted to say a few harsh words, but the sword in Concubine Rou's hand moved forward slightly and directly cut his neck. He felt a pain in his neck and liquid flowed down!

Li Ming saw that Concubine Rou was obviously preparing to kill him, and he knew that he would surely die if he didn't tell her. With the mentality that he could have a chance to survive by telling her, he still told her the location of the jade seal.

After hearing what Li Ming said, Lord Wen of the Wen family, who was beside Concubine Rou, immediately rushed forward to look for the jade seal. However, after he opened the mechanism, he found that it was empty.

Concubine Rou saw this scene and thrust the sword in her hand forward a little further. She shouted angrily, "Where is the imperial seal? Can't you just be your emperor? Why are you seeking death?"

Li Ming was also a little confused. He was clearly hiding there, and even his personal eunuch Fu Lai didn't know about it. How could he disappear for no reason? He hurriedly looked at Fu Lai.

Fu Lai was also kicked to the ground. Lord Wen directly put his sword on Fu Lai's neck and shouted angrily, "Where is the jade seal? Do you know?"

Fulai knew that these people didn't dare to kill Li Ming directly, but they would kill him directly. He shook his head quickly and said with a sad face, "I really don't know. Only His Majesty knows about the jade seal."

Seeing that he didn't want to lie, everyone's eyes turned to the emperor. They didn't expect that the emperor would be so tough and hide the seal so strictly.

Right Prime Minister Su also stepped forward and said seriously, "Your Majesty, so many ministers are here. Even if you don't take out the jade seal, Prince Su can still ascend the throne, so you'd better be sensible."

Li Ming was so frightened that he said anxiously, "I clearly put the imperial seal right there, I don't know why it suddenly disappeared!"

Lord Su felt that Li Ming did not seem to be joking, so he quickly reached out and pulled Li Ming, and walked towards the grid. He wanted Li Ming to look for it with him.
