The Di woman who claimed to be called Yena stopped them to give them a horse, so Wei Changying and Shen Zangfeng were not able to take Shen Shuyan out of the city with them on that day. It's not that they were pestered by this Di woman, but they didn't say a word or two, and the sweating general of Di Cui Guan personally galloped over, and before he could salute, he handed Shen Zangfeng an expedited document for eight hundred miles.

Shen Zangfeng knows that things are not small, should not be opened in full view, then dismounted and boarded the car, before unfolding a glance.

At this look, Shen Zang Feng's face instantly turned iron blue!

The first time I saw the car, I saw the car, I saw the car, I saw the car, I saw the car, I saw the car. Just coaxed Shen Shuyan closed her eyes, turned her head to see her husband's expression was not right, to see that he did not avoid his own meaning, he looked sideways towards the top of a glance ...... This look, she was also surprised, and in time to raise her sleeve to cover her mouth to avoid a cry of surprise out.

Until Shen Zangfeng ordered people to take away the red horse "Red Yan" that Yena rode over, and made the carriage turn back to the courtyard, Wei Changying tightly embraced Shen Shuyan, somewhat in a dream although it has long been known that the world is not peaceful, Shen Zangfeng has also clearly said in private that the throne of Wei has already declined ... but as a noble daughter of a famous family and married to the right family, once born and raised in a beautiful bush, the omen of the death of the country appeared. ...But as a noblewoman of a famous family, married to the right family, a life raised in the embroidery bush, the omen of the death of the country appeared, no wonder she was not alarmed.

--Yanzhou civil unrest!

Before the late emperor, because Emperor Xi Zong is good and easy, obsessed with beauty, in order to accommodate up to tens of thousands of harem beauty, several large construction of additional palaces, digging forest pool. Ordered to pay tribute to the construction of the palace Lin Chi things and money at all levels of officials and seize the opportunity to enrich their own pockets, even if the ordinary rich households were raided down several times also fell into poverty and illness ...... Wei this world is gradually some chaos.

After the late Emperor Yi Zong, there were a few years of political clarity, is slightly back to the situation.

It was because Yi Zong was young when he succeeded to the throne, and his mother, Empress Gong Min, who was from a poor family and had a deep understanding of the plight of the common people, issued a number of edicts to pacify the common people in the years when she replaced her youngest son in the government. However, although Empress Gongmin was sympathetic to the common people, she favored her only son, Yi Zong, because she had only one son.

Yi Zong from the age of twelve or thirteen years old, followed in the footsteps of his father, like to play and hate the government. Empress Gongmin persuade a few, Yi Zong will say that the Royal body is not safe, the Empress a heartache, let him go. So when Yi Zong grows up, a mind to jump into the play and enjoyment, no intention to take care of the world.

At first, there is Gongmin Empress Dowager up for him to manage, but the Empress Dowager is not high, although in the palace to sharpen a body of smart, but in terms of governing means, how can with the deep-rooted Shi family than? Coupled with the Empress Dowager promoted and reused many commoners, the harem also into a number of low-born concubines, causing the scholarly clan to wake up. After a lot of secret fighting, the Empress Dowager eventually failed to get the support of Emperor Yi Zong at the critical time, and retired to the harem in disgrace, with the scholarly clan overseeing the country on behalf of the Empress Dowager.

In order to consolidate the power in their hands, the scholars changed their ways to coax Yi Zong to have fun. How can the Emperor have fun like ordinary people? There is no one does not want silver! Originally Xi Zong that would have been the treasury empty, to Yi Zong here, even worse, even the border troops have many payroll had to be demobilized. Scholarship is rich, but also can not move their own coffers for the enjoyment of the saint.

Then we'll have to hit on the tax idea.

The tax is heavy again and again, now the world that ten miles dozens of miles will be able to see a nest of large and small bandits, including the Cao family Fort in Xiliang, are that will be forced to desperate, so they have to do not want to capital business.

That will be Emperor Yi Zong is in the harem with many beauties play to forget, the clan unannounced, bought the palace people do not make it known. To a number of days later, Queen Gong Min knew, hastily past to remind his son, but ...... where is the Yi Zong Emperor who is bent on enjoyment to pursue in the end?

He casually called a minister to the harem and asked, "I heard that you have repeatedly increased taxes, and now the world is already overrun with people?"

That minister is also a member of the clan, know that the empress dowager is in the hands of the empress dowager has easily seized the right to supervise the state, can not fall into the hands of the empress dowager Gongmin to rise again. At that moment, without hesitation, replied "This is impossible, although the ministers do not dare to compare themselves to the many virtuous ministers since ancient times, but also has been the model for the previous man, daily follow the sages, willing to do their utmost for the saint, and die before they die! How could they do something that would shake the gods of the earth and grain? Who did Your Majesty hear say that taxes are heavy nowadays?"

Yi Zong was not so foolish as to betray his mother and said, "I only heard about it by chance, so you don't have to care who it is. And tell us why someone would say that?"

That minister said "If you want me to say, please forgive me, Your Majesty I think this is not strange. Because since Shang Zhou cast the Deer Platform and favored Daji in his demise, whenever any human lord proposed to build gorgeous palaces, forests and ponds, or high buildings, or to accommodate beautiful women, there would always be some people who would strongly oppose it, thinking that this would show that their virtues were comparable to those of the Bikan. In fact, many courtiers and wealthy households have forests, ponds, and pavilions in their homes, which are also built and replaced from time to time, but few would go so far as to say that this is all because the human lord is so honorable and incomparable that he invites cynicism!"

Speaking here, the minister sighed, ''Speaking of which, most of the palaces and pavilions that His Holiness lives in and enjoys today were left behind by the previous emperor. And the late emperor was only to see the palace left behind by Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong was already dilapidated, which made a great deal of construction, but the result attracted countless people to oppose! So that you now live here, always some people can not see ...... tell you heavy taxes, the people are not bored with the purpose, is not precisely the hope that you enjoy less, more even out of the silver money to comfort the people? But as far as I know, now the world for many years of good weather, harvest full of hoards, the district tax, the people's burden is very easy. It is simply impossible to supply your majesty's offerings today!"

Emperor Yi Zong enjoys himself and detests hardship, and the minister's words have struck a chord in his heart if he follows Empress Gongmin's words, won't he, as the Lord of the People, have to cut back on his own treatment? Yi Zong was unwilling to do so from the bottom of his heart! So after the minister left, he invited his mother, Empress Gongmin, to come to him and politely refused her suggestion to let him personally visit the court and inspect the kingdom, saying, "All the ministers in the previous dynasty are capable and loyal people, and mother has been worrying about my son all these years, so now it's also time to take a break and stop listening to rumors of the palace people and blaming the loyal people."

Such a confused son! Empress Dowager Gongmin almost didn't pass out from anger!

As Yi Zong did, Empress Gong Min knew that her son had no hope, and like Empress Gu before her, she put her hope in her grandson. Today's saint in the Yi Zong of the sons of the emperor is not the eldest, the reason why the throne, but accounted for its birth mother Deng's status in the palace is not very high, and origin is not as good as Yi Zong's empress and Guishu Xiande four consorts of light.

In the seizure of power lost to the Shi clan Gongmin Empress Dowager because Yi Zong is not like Xi Zong only Yi Zong a son, even if she is from a poor background also made the Empress Dowager, had to choose the daughter of the Shi clan's daughter out of the royal son for the Crown Prince, but also hard to pick a birth mother's background and favor relatively speaking the worst Deng, and personally raised the present-day saints.

Influenced by the Empress Dowager Gongmin, before the Emperor ascended the throne and the first few years of the throne is ambitious to think of cleansing the world, revitalization of Wei. However, the Empress Dowager, who has easily become Empress Dowager from concubine Deng, does not think so!

At the time of Emperor Xi Zong, there were tens of thousands of concubines, many of whom had never seen Emperor Xi Zong in their lives, or had only served him once before being left out in the cold until their deaths. Although Emperor Yi's harem was not as overcrowded as his father's, there were still hundreds of concubines. The Empress Dowager Deng, in terms of birth and status and favor, was not much of a person in the palace, but she had given birth to a son, and was the daughter of a scholarly family, so she lived in the palace in a modest way.

Once Yi Zong died, her mother factor noble became the empress dowager, but held his breath to enjoy the days of no one to suppress, do not need to be careful!

Empress Dowager Deng was not very interested in holding the dynasty, the key was that the Empress Dowager did not have the ability to go to the curtain to listen to the government. But the Empress Dowager was interested in adding grace to her family.

The world is so big, the six valves in the sea, the major families, each other's sphere of influence unspoken. Empress Dowager Deng wants to raise the Deng family, there is no need to read with the valves of the family to test each other, compromise, agreement ...... The key is that the Empress Dowager's mother's family is also the Shi clan, the saint would like to follow the example of his grandmother, Empress Kung Min to vigorously promote the common people as well as the common people's daughter to suppress the power of the Shi clan in Empress Dowager Deng can not get through the gate here!

When the saint reached the age of marriage, Empress Dowager Deng immediately established her niece as a noble consort if it were not for the consideration of the Deng family, wanting to get the valve to read the acquiescence of the Deng family to develop and grow, the first empress of the dynasty would certainly be Empress Deng instead of Empress Liu!

...... All in all, counting from today s saint, Wei is not a bright ruler for three generations in a row. Not to mention the Mingjun, and Mingjun is simply a hundred thousand miles away from each other!

Since Xizong, the saint is considered the best one. At least he did not build a wide range of palaces, did not build forests and ponds, and did not have a large number of people ...... Three generations of monarchs can be said to be mediocre, and the base of Wei has long been rotten.

But what is Yanzhou?

It is connected to the North Rong in the north, the East Hu in the east, and the Han Sea in the west. The grain and grass of the three places all come from Yanzhou.

The location of the supply wagon base camp of all generations, stocked with 200,000 elite soldiers stationed for many years!

How can there be civil unrest in such a place? How can the people change? How can the people change?

Because the land of Youyan from ancient times out of chivalry and courage, this dynasty of soldiers, in addition to the long years of constant beacon fire of the East Hu Liu family army and the West Liang Shen family army, recognized as the most swarthy and most elite is the soldiers recruited here. Yanzhou military households are many, the townships and villagers inevitably take care of some of them, is considered to be the Wei up and down the tax is relatively light one of the places.

According to this civil unrest, how should it not happen from Yanzhou?

Even if Yanzhou was raided to the people's grievances, but now put 200,000 elite troops in, dare to toss under the eyes of 200,000 army, this is not looking for death is what? Even if it is hungry and stupid and a bellyful of gas of the common people, committed this confusion, but how will the people become up? Will not be extinguished as soon as it happens?

Chaotic people and an army are two different things in the end, not to mention the ones stationed in Yanzhou, which are still elite soldiers!

Wei Chang Ying how can not understand, Wei up and down banditry for the trouble, has not yet had enough to let the imperial capital to 800 miles expedited to send news of the scale of the civil unrest, how ...... is potentially considered the most unlikely, at least is the last will be the problem of the Yanzhou, the first out of the problem?

It was a pity that there were no details written on the paperwork, and looking at Shen Zang Feng's face as he stared in deep thought, Wei Chang Ying bit his lip and swallowed the words that he wanted to ask more carefully.
