The emperor planned to mobilize the Northwest Army to attack Li Hu, but Prime Minister Wang and Deputy Prime Minister Zhang Bang T7 tried to dissuade him.

The rebellion in Hebei and Shandong is becoming more and more intense. The various anti-rebellion troops failed to achieve limited results due to insufficient troops, which led to the situation gradually worsening. What's more serious is that the treasury is out of money, so Wang suggested that the exemption of husbands be collected nationwide.

The exemption of husband money means exemption of labor. The exemption of labor was one of the servitude laws of the Song Dynasty, also known as labor service. The government recruited and commissioned labor according to the number of households in Fangguo and rural villages every year, and engaged in labor service, such as building cities, opening rivers, building houses, building roads, mining, and transporting grain.

The husbands of this dynasty use more soldiers, so the burden of the husbands of the civil servants was slightly reduced compared with the previous dynasty. The money for exemption appeared first in the Emperor Shenzong Dynasty, and some civil servants who met the conditions for exemption were allowed to pay money for exemption, so that the government could hire civil servants, but it was not customized. In this dynasty, because the court lacked money, it was ordered to collect the money for exemption during the Daguan period and it was designated as Yongfa.

Last year, the imperial court had collected funds for the Northern Expedition military funds, but now the situation is critical, and it has to be collected again. According to the king's request, the money was paid by households and other accounts, and each husband had to pay about twenty to thirty cents. In addition, because the official households enjoyed the privilege of exempting military service and the court could not collect it, so the king begged the emperor to issue an order that at this critical moment of the country, all officials had to pay the money for exempting husbands.

The emperor agreed. He used money to suppress the rebellion, and money to provide relief. He also used money to attack Li Hu and recover Jiuzhou after he recovered the mountain. Of course, it would not work without money.

After the imperial edict was issued, Bianjing immediately started to swear loudly. The court and the country hated the king with their teeth. The ministers wrote letters to advise, and some even directly called the king a traitor.

When the emperor saw that the opposition was too loud, he hurriedly issued an order saying that the people of Jingdong and the people of the two rivers were trapped in the dispatch, so he would not collect the money. It was mainly used in wealthy places such as Jingxi, Huai, Zhejiang, Jiang, Lake, Sichuan, Fujian, Guang, etc., and it was stipulated that the amount would be paid within two months. Violators would engage in military law.

After the imperial edict was issued, there was no effect. Many ministers pointed at the king's nose and scolded him at the court meeting, which scared the king so much that he didn't dare to go home.

The emperor knew the reason, so he had no choice but to issue three orders: all the royal family, concubines, relatives, and the family of the prime minister would be exempted from the husband's money. In this way, the curses were much smaller, and the ministers with high rank no longer had to pay or scold them. The ministers with low rank had to swallow their anger, but the king was cursed bloodily in secret.

The emperor is very luxurious, everyone knows, but the emperor definitely does not have to pay the husband's money. The royal family, the relatives, and the priests are all high-quality officials. In fact, they do not lack this money at all. But your emperor spends money like flowing water and is still engaged in the construction of Huashigang. Why do we have to pay this money? You don't care about the safety of the country and the lives of the people. Why do I care about it? Officials with low rank generally do not lack this money, but the emperor squanders and the relatives and priests of the royal family are also rich. You only need hundreds of stalemates or thousands of stalemates for a meal. Now the country

You turned a blind eye to the family, and you didn't even pay for this little money. Why did I pay for it? I was mentally unbalanced and resentful. Okay, I paid the money today, and I will take more corruption and bribe tomorrow, and I will make back the losses. Those officials who do not have real positions and those waiting for resettlement have limited income, but their daily expenses in Bianjing are large, which is only enough to support their lives. Suddenly, they have to pay for their living expenses for a few months. They are heartbroken and resentful. They are so angry that they grit their teeth for the emperor, the prime minister, the king, the ministers and other officials in the clan.

At this time, no one thought that the poor people would be in their hearts. The people would offer them food, meat, drink, blood, livestock, grass, mustard, ants, and croakers. Although the "people are the most valuable" is hung on their mouths all day long. Although they have recited the "people are the most valuable" scriptures every day since they were young, their souls and morality fell into the eyes of money. Only a greedy, shameless and disgusting face was left, and a body full of maggots was covered with rotten smell.

Is the king a traitor? The land is indeed a traitor. His original intention is to enrich the treasury to quell the rebellion and provide relief to the victims. But like all local bureaucrats, he has no people in his heart and no people in his eyes. He only knows how to collect and exploit the people. The consequence of collecting the land of freeing money across the country is to make more people have nothing. In the end, he has to take risks and rise up. He vows to overthrow this dark world of cannibalism.

In two months, the king collected 62 million guan of money for exemption, which greatly alleviated the financial crisis in the court. But in the same two months, the riots began to extend to the Jianghuai area, and the riots were even larger in scale.

The emperor was worried that the situation would be out of control. On the grounds of suppressing the rebellion, he demoted Cai You and removed Tan Zhen. Then Tong Guan was asked to leave Tong Guan and let Tong Guan take charge of the Privy Council. He was fully responsible for the rebellion. It has been more than half a year since the riot began. The court has spent a lot of money. However, the bad situation in Hebei and Shandong has not only failed to calm or ease, but has become more and more serious. At this moment, except for Tong Guan, who else can share the emperor's worries?

In July, Zhao Kai, the prince of Yun, received the emperor's decree and suddenly heard that Bianjing was planning to kill Li Hu. He was shocked and urgently summoned Zhe Yan until Taiyuan to discuss matters.

In the northwest, he deliberately created the illusion of confrontation between the Tiger and the Northwest Army. This was planned in advance, but Li Hu obviously did it too much. He not only confronted the Northwest Army, but also confronted Bianjing, and the situation suddenly deteriorated.

Zhe Yanzhi hurried to Taiyuan. On the way, he carefully considered the changes in the situation and believed that Bianjing's move was not really about destroying Li Hu, but because the rebellion in Hebei and Shandong became increasingly fierce, which had seriously endangered the safety of the country. Bianjing was worried that Li Hu would go south to disrupt the Central Plains, and that the Jurchens would rob him by fire, so he came up with such an idea. If the two tigers fight, one would be injured, and the other would be dying. This plan is beneficial to both Bianjing and Taiyuan, so why not do it?

"That

What to do?" asked Prince Yun.

"It's enough to disobey the enemy." Zhe Yanzhi said lightly, "Bianjing has made every effort to quell the rebellion and has no financial resources to launch a northern expedition. His Highness agreed with confidence and boldness, and then asked Bianjing for money, grain and weapons. Bianjing has no money, grain and weapons, and even if there is one, it is impossible for us to turn against you. Besides, we cannot turn against Li Hu, so this battle has nothing to do with us for the time being. This battle is a war between Li Hu and the Jurchens. When the time is right, we can come forward to clean up the mess."

When Wang heard this, he had forgotten about it and asked, "Do you want to tell Li Hu?"

"Of course we have to tell Li Hu." Zhe Yan said, "We don't need to hide Li Hu about this matter. This is the breakup between Bian Jing and Li Hu. Your Highness firmly stands on Li Hu's side at this moment and will win Li Hu's trust and loyalty."

After saying this, Zhe Yanzhi himself didn't believe it. He could guess how great Li Hu's ambition was, so he was worried and afraid, so he deliberately curbed Li Hu. Now that there is such a chance to weaken Li Hu and arouse Li Hu's hatred for Bian Jing, he of course he has to do it. If this is done well, it will be very beneficial to Wang himself and ZTE's strategy.

"Will Li Hu be defeated in the battle?" This is the most concerned issue of Prince Yun. If Li Hu is defeated or even defeated, it will have a fatal blow to his plan to seize the imperial throne.

"Li Hu will not be defeated because of us." Zhe Yanzhi immediately comforted Prince Yun, "But even if Li Hu wins, he will still win miserably. He will never pose a threat to us anymore."

Wang thought for a long time and felt that Zhe Yanzhi had neglected a very important place. "In view of Li Hu's current situation, is it necessary for him to turn against Bian Jing? He can obtain some degree of understanding through me and Bian Jing. Is it necessary for him to anger Bian Jing and force Bian Jing to form an alliance with the Jin Kingdom and jointly attack him? Li Hu is so powerful. He is not an ordinary person. He must have his purpose in doing this."

Zhe Yan looked solemn and thoughtful. Did he really neglect? How could he be neglected?

There are no idiots in this world. You use me, and I also use you. Prince Yun and the Northwest General tried to use Li Hu to achieve their goals, while Li Hu took the opportunity to set up a bureau. Once this bureau was untied, Li Hu's goal would be achieved. What is his goal? It is to develop and grow. He no longer has the opportunity to grow and grow in Daibei, so he plans to go south.

If the king and the Northwest General lacked the force of Li Hu, they would not be able to achieve their goals. Li Hu knew very well, so he angered Bian Jing and forced Bian Jing to join forces with the Jin people to attack Daibei, forcing Hu Lie Mansion to a desperate situation, and then he died. How did Li Hu find a way to live? Once Li Hu was defeated, the Prince Yun and the Northwest General were in danger, so Prince Yun and the Northwest General would never send troops to attack Daibei.

When the Jin people attacked Daibei, the Xixia people would take the opportunity to threaten Shaanxi and restrain the Northwest Army's troops. At this time, the army on Hedong Road was limited, and Li Hu had enough strength to attack south. His excuse for going south was very simple. If you, the Song Dynasty and I turned against each other, I would of course attack you, and of course I would go south to Hedong.

When Li Hu arrived at Hedong Road, what should the Song Dynasty do? Should he fight or comfort? Of course, it is comfort. If the Song Dynasty and Li Hu start a war, the northwest will fall into a melee, and coupled with the riots in Hebei and Shandong, wars will spread everywhere in the Song Dynasty, and the Jurchens will inevitably follow Li Hu and leak down, and the entire north of the Yellow River will be over.

If the Song Dynasty wanted to recruit Li Hu, it had to agree to Li Hu's conditions. In this way, Li Hu could not only unite the Northwest Army to defeat the Jin people, but also stay in Hedong and expand his territory. At the same time, he could also help Prince Yun and the Northwest Generals achieve their goals, which was a three-killing victory.

Did Li Hu think so? Zhe Yanzhi thinks that he is at least 60% sure.

Why did Li Hu return the front trap to the people of Xixia? What promise did Brother Cha give him that made him so generous? Li Hu gave up the front trap and then withdrew the main force to the Datong line, trained troops day and night, strengthened Datong defense day and night, which shows that he knew very well that Dai Bei would have a fierce battle. If the Jin army launched a large-scale attack, Li Hu could not defend the front trap at all, nor could Tiande Army and Yunnei. He was just doing a favor. Brother Cha got such a huge benefit, of course he had to repay Li Hu. What reward did he get? Xixia suffered a heavy blow and could no longer use troops in the short term. It is obvious that his only reward was to restrain the Northwest Army on the Hengshan line and give Li Hu the chance to go south.

Thinking of this, Li Hu formed an alliance with Xixia by returning the previous trap. Li Hu used his alliance with Xixia to anger Bianjing, and he could get a reasonable explanation. However, this is just a speculation. Zhe Yanzhi had no evidence and could not tell Prince Yun about this speculation. If his speculation was wrong, Prince Yun made a wrong decision based on his wrong speculation. First of all, the Zhe family and a group of northwest generals, and then Prince Yun. He could not take this risk. He could only interpret the development of the situation based on the existing news and then told Prince Yun about his countermeasures.

"You should remind Bianjing." Zhe Yan said straight, "Li Hu did this, probably because he was very disappointed with what Bianjing did, so he deliberately created a series of contradictions and then found a suitable opportunity to surrender to the Jin people."

The king was shocked, "He is from the Song Dynasty and Li Qingchen's grandson. How could he surrender to the Jurchens?"

"But he is the tiger king of Liaodong people now, and he must not help but think about the people of Liaodong people." Zhe Yanzhi smiled bitterly, "He wants to survive, and Bianjing wants to kill him. If it were you, what would you make?"
