Chasing King

Under the arrangement of Yan Zilian, Yan Sikong finally secretly meets Zhao Fuyi. Without saying a word, he plops down on his knees.

"Sikong, ah What are you doing Zhao Fuyi quickly pulls Yan Sikong up from the ground.

Since the end of the first World War, Zhao Fuyi has been stationed in Jingshan. Although he has only been in Beijing for two or three hours, he has not seen many of them, but his friendship of fighting side by side is still there.

Yan Sikong's eyes were full of tears: "General Zhao, it was wronged to seal the family."

Zhao Fuyi sighed heavily: "I don't think the family will rebel. It's just that I saw the army of the family break into the hunting ground with my own eyes and blocked it. I caught people too. It's called me What can I do? "

"If Fengjia wanted to rebel, how could he break into the hunting ground without any rules and regulations, and how could he be easily found by the general? All this was premeditated. Xie Zhongren bribed Fengye's coachman and stole the talisman."

"What Zhao Fuyi was shocked, "do you have evidence?"

Yan Sikong frowned deeply: "I have found the brothel woman sent by Xie Zhongren to seduce the coachman, but now the coachman is dead. No matter what we say, there is no proof of death."

"Alas Zhao Fuyi paced back and forth, pausing and looking at Yan Sikong, "Fengye humiliates you, but you want to clear up the grievances for Fengjia regardless of the past. It's really open-minded."

Yan Sikong coughed softly: "Fengye and I fought in the battlefield and lived and died together. Even if we had some disagreements later, I can't make king Jingyuan's meritorious and loyal officials unjustly wronged because of personal enmity. Moreover, if Fengjia is punished, the crown prince's position as the crown prince will be crumbling! "

Zhao Fuyi nodded: "I used to work for King Jingyuan, and I don't want to see him trapped by a sycophant. I heard that the eunuch encouraged his majesty to dispatch troops from Datong to northern Liaoning. If the Datong army fell into the hands of Han Zhaoxing, Northern Liaoning would not be able to keep it."

"Yes Yan Sikong stepped forward and said earnestly, "General Zhao, the world is trembling because he has been wronged in sealing his family. If he hears this news, he may take the opportunity to make a comeback. This is not only the difficulty of sealing his family, but also the national calamity."

Zhao Fuyi's face turned pale: "but now But now the evidence is solid. Even if I want to argue for them, the situation on that day is obvious to all the soldiers. I can't open my eyes to perjury. "

"The general is the commander-in-chief of the 30000 garrison troops. The general's words play an important role in the court. If the general is different about this matter, his majesty also needs to weigh it, which can even deter the eunuch party."

Zhao Fuyi looked rather hesitant.

"Now I'm afraid only the general can save Feng's family," Yan said in a sad voice

Zhao Fuyi sighed: "I'm a Wufu. I didn't mean to get involved in the court court dispute, but how can I watch the eunuch party set up Zhongliang and see the Datong defense line collapsed. As a matter of fact, I have already joined hands with several adults to admonish this case. "

Yan Sikong said happily: "thank you, general, thank you

Zhao Fuyi waved his hand: "I'm not sure, especially after your Majesty's cold treatment of Yan Ge because of Liu An, Xie Zhongren gradually grasped the general trend."

"No, your majesty is also very dissatisfied with Xie Zhongren in the case of Liu An."

"Oh? How did you find out? " After Zhao Fuyi asked, he suddenly said, "you knew about the topic."

Yan Sikong nodded: "the previous title was written by me and has been submitted to the cabinet for approval. Liu An changed the title temporarily. If it was not for Xie Zhongren's instructions, he would not dare to give him the courage. Your majesty originally wanted to weaken Feng's army with jingcha, but he didn't want the teacher to impeach Liu An regardless of your Majesty's face. Stealing chicken can't corrode rice. Naturally, your majesty is dissatisfied with Xie Zhongren. "

Zhao fuyisi cableway: "in this way, Xie Zhongren designed to steal the military talisman, risked the world's great injustice, and formed a famous general of loyal officials. He was afraid of angering his majesty and wanted to pull back a city."

"That's right. This plan is full of loopholes and extremely dangerous. If there's a slight mistake, I'm afraid the world will have to change the surname. Xie Zhongren must be forced to jump out of the wall. Therefore, the general's words are expected to shake your Majesty's determination."

Zhao Fu Yi's eyes are clear and firm: "don't worry, I will try my best!"

"Thank you, general!"

-

Zhao Fuyi did what he said. A few days later, he signed a letter with several powerful generals to put forward all kinds of doubts about Feng Jianping's conspiracy case, and advised emperor Zhaowu not to be used by crafty people and repeat Gaozong's mistakes.

The memorial was not discussed with Yan Zilian in advance, but was presented directly in the early court. When Yan Zilian and Yan Sikong learned about the contents of the memorial, they were all in the dark.

Sure enough, the memorial stabbed the hornet's nest, implying that emperor Zhaowu was the song Gaozong who wrongly killed Yue Fei. The emperor was so angry that the emperor scolded Zhao Fuyi. The eunuch party seized the opportunity to accuse Zhao Fuyi of being tied for the sword and suspected of covering up. Under the order of Emperor Zhaowu, he asked Zhao Fuyi to go back to Jingshan and was not allowed to participate in the case.

Of course, Zhao Fuyi's goal was achieved for the time being. Emperor Zhaowu could not turn a blind eye to the admonition and admonishment of many generals, especially the commander in chief of the garrison. Although he wanted to quickly convict Feng's father and son, he had to look at the direction of the court.

After the incident, the Feng family's trial slowed down. First, the father and son did not plead guilty. Second, there was no new evidence. Third, the wind swayed in the middle of the court, and Emperor Zhaowu did not dare to act rashly.She Yan and others go to Hei prison to make sure that they are ready for a break.

But just when Yan Sikong thought he saw a glimmer of hope, God seemed not to push them into the abyss.

In an early court, Xie Zhongren's Yamen raised the Jiangnan sea tax again, accusing Yan Zilian of shielding his hometown's rich businessmen and nobles, making the court unable to collect Shanghai Tax and damaging the national treasury.

Jiangnan sea tax is one of the most taboo topics in the court. As Xie Zhongren said, after Yan Zilian became the first assistant, he reduced and remitted a lot of sea taxes in the south of the Yangtze River, and the national treasury lost at least one million liang of revenue every year. Even Shen Hexuan, a student of Yan Zilian, criticized the rich Jiangnan for levying less taxes.

However, Yan Zilian had no choice. As a student of Jiangnan, most of his aristocratic officials and his faction came from Jiangnan. They were closely related to the local aristocratic families.

The sea tax touched on the lifeblood of the gentry. Whenever it was mentioned, it was bound to be a dark day, and both sides were hurt. Over time, no one dared to mention it easily.

Xie Zhongren chose to raise the sea tax again at this time, and his heart is to blame.

Sure enough, this time, Emperor Zhaowu was unconventional. Instead of stirring up the water, he severely accused Yan Zilian of unfair taxation.

It is said that Yan Ge, a senior minister of the three dynasties, a senior minister of the cabinet, who was in the prime of his life when he went to court that morning, was red in the face when he was reprimanded.

When I got home that night, I fell ill.
