Li Ziyi was shocked, how could this man with an immortal demeanor, fair hair and childish face, look like a noble man from the world, be so unscrupulous?
And who is he talking about?
If you don't listen to him, will you kill yourself too?
Li Ziyi suddenly regretted asking Huang to help him carry out a coup. This was not his original idea. He originally wanted to start fighting for the crown prince after the late king died.
The late king's health was getting worse and worse, and he could not live long without being killed. However, Ding Chunqiu did not wait for a moment, not even giving him a chance to die.
Zhao Xu succeeded to the throne and almost provoked a war. Although it disappeared, his desire to win back Yan Yun never stopped for a moment.
During the pro-government period, he cultivated politics internally and armaments externally. He was prosperous at home and never failed in foreign wars. It's a pity that Jealous Yingcai's life ended abruptly at the age of twenty-five before he could regain Yanyun. Temple name: Zhezong, posthumous title: Xianyuan, the successor to Dao, Xian De, Ding Gong Qin, Wen Rui Wu, Emperor Qi Sheng Zhao Xiao.
No one expected that the successor to the throne would be Zhe Zong's second brother, Duan Wang Zhao Ji, who was obsessed with the art of calligraphy and painting and had never shown any political talent.
Huang Shang suddenly transformed into a scale master again.
After so many lives, I have never been the emperor once, but I have been the emperor's teacher for many times, and I have always been so destined to the emperor.
But this time, Huang Shang did not have time to enjoy the glory brought by the emperor's master, nor did he wait for the new emperor's important appointment. Before the new emperor ascended the throne, his old father died of illness, and Huang Shang returned home to Ding You.
So when Zhao Ji boarded the plane, Huang Shang didn't even try at all.
But Zhao Ji was young and had no preparation to become an emperor before. Suddenly he became the emperor. He was a little overwhelmed and wanted to use the emperor's order to win his love and keep Huang Shang, the only person he could rely on now.
However, given Huang Shang's current status in the court, it seems that he is not qualified enough, and Huang Shang himself does not want to stay. With this Ding You, he has completely become an official, even if the emperor asks him to do so.
Zhao Ji was really lucky. He ascended the throne at a young age and was unprepared. The Queen Mother took power when he had no clue. However, the Queen Mother died the next year, giving him a year's buffer, and then took charge of the throne. He was much luckier than his elder brother, the late Emperor Zhezong.
When Zhao Ji first ascended the throne, he was young and full of energy. Although he had never thought about becoming an emperor before, when he got the throne, he didn't want to do anything, and he didn't feel that he could not be the emperor.
The emperor's position is very strange. Any idiot or loser will feel wise and powerful sitting in that position.
Zhao Ji activated Cai Jing, won the battle with Zeng Bu, ascended to the position of Zuopushe, and began drastic reforms.
Restore the new laws of Song Shenzong, continuously change the salt and tea monopoly systems, reform the currency system, improve the market shipping system, etc., and increase government fiscal revenue. Establish a nationwide welfare system, set up nursing homes, Anjifang, and Luzeyuan to support the poor and sick, and provide medical care, elderly care, and funerals for the poor. It also established a three-level public education system of county school, state school and Taixue; resumed the establishment of medicine, and established arithmetic, calligraphy, painting and other technical schools.
These policies that benefit the people all require money. Where does the money come from? We can only levy more taxes on wealthy families and wealthy people.
Zhao Ji even abolished the imperial examination and selected officials from the public schools he established. This caused him to form a deep hatred with the scholar-bureaucrats under him.
The scholar-bureaucrats and those aristocratic families are actually the same group of people.
Another advantage of Zhao Ji was also revealed during the reform process, that is, his queen was a princess of Xia Kingdom, not from those aristocratic families. Otherwise, she would be like the previous emperors who died young. The scholar-bureaucrats colluded with the harem and brought him down directly.
In the world of martial arts, you can also directly assassinate, but Zhao Ji has Tong Guan by his side. Tong Guan has been diligently practicing "Sunflower Collection" for more than 20 years, and it is his real life-saving weapon.
After so many years of hard work, the Yanping Huang family has long become the leading family in the entire Jiangnan. The Huang family cannot avoid Zhao Ji's various measures.
However, under the management of Huang Shang, the Huang family in Yanping fully supported the new law. Even if someone contacted the Huang family and wanted to join a group to fight against the new law, the Huang family remained unmoved.
The patriarch of the Huang family was not passed to Huang Shang after his father died, but to Huang Yinglin, the eldest son of the third brother Huang Jinyuan, directly skipping Huang Shang's generation.
Huang Jinyuan was too old to manage such a large family, and Huang Shang didn't care.
Although Huang Shang has no real power, Huang Jinyuan warned Huang Yinglin that he must consult Huang Shang for any major matters in the family.
Huang Yinglin said to Huang Shang: "Uncle Jiu, the taxes imposed by the emperor are too heavy now. Our Huang family has to pay an extra million taels every year. This is just our Huang family, and the tax taken away from Jiangnan every year is more than 100 million taels." . Moreover, the emperor also took back many of the most profitable businesses, which is clearly targeting our Jiangnan family."
Huang Shang frowned. He had already asked him to do these things, and he still came to complain to him. It was really annoying.
Huang Shang asked: "You can't take it out?"
Huang Yinglin was stunned. This is not a question of whether he can take it out or not, but a question of whether he can give it up or not.
Huang Yinglin said: "It's not that I can't take it out, it's just that it's too much."
Huang Shang said: "Since you can take it, just take it, don't have any other thoughts. If you don't want us, we are relatives of the emperor and the country, and we are indispensable. Although I am the emperor's master, if you want me to tell you about this matter, The emperor asked, and it was waived. From now on, the share that belongs to me in the family does not need to be given to me, it is regarded as the tax that I help my family avoid."
Huang Yinglin shouted: "Uncle Jiu, that's not what I meant."
The money that Huang Shang takes from the Yanping Huang family is a huge amount every year. If he really gives up, he will indeed leave a lot for the family.
But that's not what happened. If Huang Shang really stopped taking money from the Huang family, would he still be a member of the Huang family? Can this money buy someone like Huang Shang?
Huang Yinglin said: "Uncle Jiu, not only our Huang family, but also the entire Jiangnan family are complaining."
Huang Shang said: "I can't control other people, but no other voices are allowed in our family. I knew these systems before they were implemented. The emperor talked to me, and I nodded. You must take the full amount of the money, as long as You can take as much as you can, but you can’t take less.”
Huang Yinglin said: "We support the imperial court so much, but it is difficult to move forward in Jiangnan."
The Huang family supported the imperial court, causing the Huang family to be excluded from the entire Jiangnan family. Huang Shang had not expected it.
But the real interests of the Huang family are actually mostly on the sea and are not very dependent on land. And as the imperial court nationalized all the industries that really made big money, there were no deals that Huang Shang could fancy.
