After Su Yi returned home, he asked the housekeeper about the status of Jingzhong.

After walking for more than a year, not to mention earth-shaking in Beijing, the changes must be relatively large.

One year after the Jinshi opened its doors, it finally showed a little bit of its influence.The second-class Jinshi is still practicing in the court, and the third-class magistrate has already established a firm foothold in the local area.The aristocratic families didn't feel anything at first. Although these people became officials, they all started from low levels.Yu Dynasty has a wide area, and the aristocratic clan will only stare at their ancestral land, or a relatively wealthy place.And even if the local officials in these places are not from their own family, as long as their family members are still high officials in the court, it will be fine.

They didn't intend to separate themselves.

Therefore, compared with the few Jinshi who stayed in Beijing, the aristocratic family was a little more vigilant, and the Jinshi released outside did not attract much attention.

The front line was fighting again, and Su Tianshi was assassinated. The situation between the DPRK and China was once tense, and the aristocratic family couldn't pay attention to caring for a few local officials who had been released.So when the dust settled, the aristocratic family found that the emperor had placed these Jinshi as officials in wealthy and key places, and felt that something was wrong, but there was nothing they could do.

It is true that the first batch of Jinshi are all dragons and phoenixes among the people. Even if they are admitted to the third class, their ability to handle things is leveraged.Basically, the Jinshi sent abroad have made good political achievements.They also resolutely supported the emperor and implemented the emperor's policies very thoroughly.This allows the promotion of new crops very quickly in these people's territories.It's just to promote new crops. Although the local wealthy family wants to make a profit from it, they don't care if they encounter someone who insists on promoting it.In any case, it is not necessary to contradict the central government. It is just that they feel that their own food is enough to eat, so they are too lazy to change, and they want to make some money through grain.

In addition to food, the emperor also introduced many new policies, such as the key tax reduction policy.

These policies will not be implemented in the hands of local officials controlled by the family.It is not known whose pockets the overcharged taxes will go into.

But when the magistrates changed, these methods were no longer effective.Unless it was the big families in the court who embezzled taxes, these Jinshi would not buy it.

However, although the several big families in the court have a thousand ways to make money, they will not use this method that will cause obvious problems.The emperor is just stumbling over other things now and doesn't bother to check.If the emperor wants to investigate, there is no way to cover up such things as overcharging taxes.When the time comes, whoever the emperor wants to arrest will be caught.

To put it bluntly, the emperor just fattened up these fat sheep and waited for the time to slaughter them for extra meals.

Most of the people who can put their minds on taxation are local wealthy families, or people with special intentions.

These people protect each other, if they don't report it, that's all."Nails" were placed on the local officials' network, and the place where the "nails" were located was still the most critical place, so they had to stop.

Even though those "nails" have no background, they are all directly from the central government, and there is one Mr. Gu who has run away and has not returned to Beijing.

When Gu Ao went out to promote anti-drugs, he held the title of a censor.He can directly supervise the magistrates, and directly pass the papers to the central government, directly to Shengting.

When these magistrates came out, they were all taught that if they had something to do, they could submit the papers directly to Beijing Zhongzhong. If they were afraid of being stopped, they could quietly pass the papers to Mr. Gu.

Mr. Gu is a good official, he knows how to do it.

This group of Jinshi is not like the "recommended" local officials who are attached to the family.Those local officials who were recommended were basically at the end of their official careers, and they wanted to serve the local wealthy families well so that they could stay in this position for a long time.The current position of the local officials that the Jinshi work for is just the starting point. After three years, the group of Jinshi who stayed in the central government will finish their internship, and they will also face the assessment.Not to mention entering the central government, these are far away, but they can be promoted.

Whoever blocks their political achievements is equivalent to blocking their official career.At present, the local wealthy families have not yet linked the intentions of those Jinshi, and they all regard Jinshi as "foreign objects" and reject them.These Jinshi do not benefit from the local wealthy families, but they can benefit from attacking them, and everyone knows how to do it.

Those who dare to pass the entrance examination all the way from the first Jinshi examination are all ambitious and gambling.

So this year in the local area is very interesting. After a year, the new crops are mature, the granaries are full, and the clothes made of cotton are worn by the people. The people everywhere are fed and clothed, and even taxes are reduced. I was very happy, and they asked for the Wanmin umbrella one after another.

Jinshi are well-informed and courageous, and these methods are very slippery.

As soon as the place is noisy, the center is also unstable.Although the aristocratic families in the central government will not deliberately collect money from taxes, it does not mean that these local wealthy families will not make offerings in various names in order to seek protection.

So these aristocratic families wanted to torment those disobedient magistrates, but once Gu Ao's book came up and listed the tax collection situation in those places one by one, these aristocratic families had to change their tone and said that these magistrates did a good job.

Collecting taxes privately is greedy if you say it lightly, and self-reliance if you say it more serious.

And the family is not monolithic.There are aristocratic families that are holding back at the critical juncture of the country's recovery, and there are also aristocratic families that want to make the country stronger.This is the case with the family headed by the Wang family and the Mu family. Now that Mu Yan has achieved such great military exploits, he has a faint tendency to become the leader of the family.

Although other aristocratic families have higher official positions than Mu Yan in the court, but in terms of merit and prospects, no one can compare to Mu Yan.It is already foreseeable that Mu Yan will become the No.1 in court.

What's more, Mu Yan also has Su Yi, a celestial master friend, as a god-level assistant.

"So, Heqing is fighting at the front, and someone is holding back?" Su Yi sneered, "Your Majesty has reduced the tax for so many years, and some people have increased it several times? According to their collection method, if there are no Jinshi who are officials in the local area , to prevent their greed, if He Qing is trapped in Goguryeo, I am afraid the rear will catch fire."

Even if Su Yi didn't know anything about military affairs, he knew that the attack on Goguryeo was so smooth, it was a fluke.According to the normal situation, even if the surprise attack is successful, it is impossible to take down the entire territory of Goguryeo so quickly, and make it defenseless.

Mu Yan spent so much time on the Goguryeo battlefield, it was basically not time for fighting, but staying there, improving public security, rebuilding order, and preparing for Yu Chao to take over here.

If it would take more than half a year to attack, the manpower and material resources consumed would be unimaginable.

At this time, if those people in Yu Chao who were heavily taxed were provoked and chaos broke out in the area, His Majesty the Emperor would be devastated.

Su Yi doesn't mind using the greatest malice to speculate on those who overcharged taxes. Apart from being greedy, who knows if those people have such thoughts?

As vassal kings, they actually have liaison with foreign countries, what else can they not do?

Back then, they couldn't compete with their own emperor's father, so they set their minds on him and his younger brother. They knew how shameless these people were and how low their moral bottom line was.

Even in ancient times, it was a very embarrassing thing for two parties to compete to count each other's immature children.If the two armies are hostile, they will be returned to their families. He and those uncles are still in the same camp.

The butler should have been prepared a long time ago, so even some secret matters in the court were at his fingertips, allowing Su Yi to have a more comprehensive understanding of the current situation in the court.

In general, although there were disturbances, but because His Majesty the Emperor responded properly, Mu Yan quickly ended the battle of Goguryeo, and the cost was not much, so everything was going in a good direction.

And Mu Yan's victory is the decisive factor.

Both the vassal king and the aristocratic family watched the battlefield of Goguryeo, and the emperor's move was really a gamble.If Mu Yan loses or spends too much, then the monarchy that the emperor has managed to gather will have to be dispersed and weakened.

Su Yi rubbed his head, he finally understood why this group of people would rather expose themselves than keep sending killers to assassinate him.

Although he is a humble person, he also feels that he may have played a big role in the results achieved by Mu Yan.Although the effect was a fluke, it was inexplicable like God's help, but it was indeed not that easy without his own intervention.

"But now that I've returned to the capital, let those assassins continue to hang around outside, and it's best to catch them all." Su Yi said with a smile.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Although the situation between North Korea and China is very tense, several forces are all wrestling in the final battle.

But this has nothing to do with Su Yi.Even the cause and process of this wrestling has something to do with him.

Su Yi finally returned to his good old days in Beijing.Although most of the laboratories in Beijing were relocated to Qingzhou, the crown prince asked the craftsmen to leave Su Yi in the vacant laboratory in Beijing to buy new equipment.

Su Yi's experimental equipment was made by craftsmen in the palace. Although they don't understand the principle, it is easy to copy one.So when Su Yi came back, his laboratory was not much different from when he left.

So Su Yi thought about eating, drinking and drinking every day, and then tossed about some experiments, not knowing what to do.Although Qiuhu was fierce, Su Yi had his own gazebo and inexhaustible ice cubes.This little day, don't mention how comfortable it is.

Compared with Su Yi's comfort, the ministers of any faction in the court have been a little anxious recently.Those who are in an advantageous position want to expand their advantages, and even get it done once and for all; those in a disadvantaged position, not to mention turning defeat into victory, can at least protect themselves.This court scene is simply the epitome of the entire Yuchao officialdom.

Su Tianshi, who is the fuse and an important influencing factor, has his head empty every day, as comfortable as a useless cat. If these people know about it, he will definitely get angry even more.

His Majesty the Emperor was very angry.If it wasn't for him to arrange some things following Su Tianshi's "disappearance" and not being able to leave the palace to let people find that Su Yi had returned, His Majesty the Emperor would definitely grab Su Yi and beat him up to ease the imbalance in his heart.

Well, violent beating is impossible, His Majesty the Emperor is reluctant, but it is still possible to knock him a few times and kick him twice.

Su Yi watched the play with his feet up every day, and finally let him see "himself" appear on the stage.

An urgent report was sent from the front. On the way back to Beijing, Su Tianshi suddenly became seriously ill and fell asleep. At this time, he was assassinated by an assassin again.

His Majesty the Emperor was furious, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally led troops out of Beijing to look for it. Mu Yan handed over the follow-up of Goguryeo to the deputy general, and returned to Beijing ahead of schedule.

The people all over the world knelt down and howled, begging the celestial master for his well-being.

Su Yi, a melon eater, sat in his house, listening to the prayers and cries of the people who could not be stopped by the walls, and felt tremendous pressure.

"Can't we persuade them to leave?" Su Yi heard the voice outside the door, feeling coldness constantly coming out.

Although he was so respected and loved by the people, after the news that he was assassinated after he was seriously ill and his whereabouts were spread by interested people, the people spontaneously came to the wall of his house in Beijing to burn incense and pray.Let the smoke around his house in Beijing be like a temple with the most incense.

When Su Yi first became famous, common people in Beijing came to worship at his door, but Mu Yan persuaded him to leave, and the emperor issued an imperial decree not to let others disturb Su Yi's peace.It's just that when the news of Su Yi's attack came out, the people reacted too much. Even the emperor didn't dare to make an order lightly and let the people bear it.

What's more, if Su Yi's whereabouts are really unknown, it would be unreasonable for the emperor to issue such an imperial edict.

So the emperor took pleasure in other people's misfortune and let Su Yi bear it, and the smell of incense was quite pleasant.

Su Yi couldn't help but secretly raised his middle finger. Even if this was his father, he still wanted to hit someone.

Su Yi wanted to hide in Mu Yan's mansion next door, but his house was made of an iron barrel made by the prince, and Mu Yan's house was left because the master left, but that was not the case.

After both Su Yi and Mu Yan left the capital, the gate connecting the two sides was sealed again, and no communication was made.The news of Su Yi's return was not known to the neighbors.

Su Yi looked at the misty smoke above the house every day, feeling depressed.

In fact, the smoke is still pretty good, but the smell is too choking.A faint sandalwood scent is fine, but the quality of the incense that ordinary people burn now is of course not as good as modern ones.

Although his house was quite big, but the surrounding walls were surrounded by the whole city people burning incense continuously, so it could only be completely shrouded in smoke.

Fortunately, Su Yi lives in his own gazebo, which is filtered by a water curtain, and the smell is not bad.

It's just that he was still alive, and being treated as if he was dead, crying and burning incense every day, Su Yi felt a little bitter in his heart.

I heard that if a living person is worshiped as a dead person, his luck will be damaged. The people in the whole process are crying every day, so his luck has dropped to a negative number, right?I always feel that I will fall flat when I walk.

When Su Yi was troubled, other people in Jingzhong were naturally more troubled than him.

Compared with those who want Su Yi to die, there are more ministers who admire Su Yi and hope that Su Yi can live without disease or disaster.They all knew what Su Yi had brought to Yuchao. This time Su Yi intervened in the Goguryeo affair, they had expected that there would be disaster for Su Yi.Mu Yan and His Majesty the Emperor should have also expected this, and they would let Su Yi return to Beijing immediately when the battle situation stabilized.

Unexpectedly, the house leak happened to rain overnight, Su Yi became seriously ill and fell into a coma on the way, and was assassinated again.Looking at it this way, it seemed that it was a doom arranged by the heavens for Su Yi.According to reports from those who escaped, they would not have been in such a mess, but they were on their way, when Su Tianshi, who had been doing well, suddenly fell into a coma, causing the escort team to fall into chaos.And the ambush people were waiting in the forest, and when they saw the team stop suddenly and fell into chaos, they rushed out from the hiding place.

If Su Yi is still awake, even if he is ambushed, Su Yi will dodge himself, and can escape on horseback under the protection of others; if Su Yi is unconscious when passing through the town, the escort will have enough time to arrange everything.

If it's just that, it's fine, the people who escorted Su Yi were all elites, and they carried more sophisticated weapons than those who intercepted and killed them.Even though there were heavy casualties, those people couldn't get close to Su Yi's carriage. Even if there was only one person left, they could take Su Yi away and come to a nearby town to identify themselves and ask for help.

As long as Su Yi and his party reveal their identities, no matter which faction the local officials belong to, they will have to protect Su Yi's safety cautiously.

But when the battle took place, it had been raining for several days, and the mountain mixed with the torrent rushed down the road, engulfing everything in an instant.

Afterwards, when people finally came back to this place, they found the unrecognizable corpses of the two warring parties and the destroyed carriage, but they did not see other corpses in the carriage.

Su Tianshi can't see people alive, and dead bodies can't be seen.

These are all put together, it is unbelievable to say that it is a coincidence.

Because it is unbelievable, it is more believable.

Su Tianshi went to battle in person and compromised Goguryeo's fortune, the law of heaven must not tolerate it, and this calamity must be close to death.The so-called serious illness and the so-called interception and killing are nothing but the disaster brought by the heaven through the hands of the common people.

The so-called divine punishment is also human robbery.

"Su Tianshi once said that in the event of a catastrophe, the sky will kill, the earth will kill, and people will kill." Sima Hu said in a deep voice, "Heaven will kill, serious illness and coma; Earth will kill, landslides and waters will come out; people will kill, people will kill." Fall into ambush and be robbed."

Wang Boyuan said: "The Celestial Master is not a reckless person, and Goguryeo can't offend the Celestial Master to put himself in danger."

Everyone was silent.This is also where they are puzzled.Judging by Su Yi's usual behavior, he has a clear understanding of the punishment mechanism of heaven, and seems to have confidence in how to avoid disaster.In fact, Su Yi encountered many catastrophes, but every time he turned danger into good luck.Therefore, it is hard for everyone to believe that Su Yi did not expect this catastrophe.

What's more, the Goguryeo matter, in their view, is really not important, and there is no need for Su Yi to take such a big risk.Not to mention that Mu Yan's army had seized the opportunity by circumventing the sea, and the Liaodong army also sneaked back to attack Mu Yan.Even if Mu Yan fails and Goguryeo fails to attack, Yu Chao will not be injured.

With Su Yi doing things on a daily basis, if it wasn't for Huaxia's life and death, he shouldn't risk his life.

"What happened that day is only speculated, and we don't know what happened that day. Whether the celestial master was in danger is just speculation." Xie Chun said, "What's more, the celestial master can see things that the world cannot see. Even if we are serious and fail, Yu Chao will not be injured, who knows what kind of scene he will see in the eyes of the celestial master?"

Everyone sighed in unison.

After the news of Su Yi's life and death spread, the various families who had friendship with Su Yi joined forces to inquire about the news.Sima Hu has already left the Sima family, and Xie Chun is not from a family, so there are not many sources of information about the two.Sima Hu and Su Yi have a very close friendship, and Xie Chun also has some friendship with Su Yi, and they think that they are today because of Su Yi's advice. The two are very anxious, so they gather in the Wang family and ask about Su Yi's current news.

Among the aristocratic families in Beijing, apart from Mu Yan, the Wang family and Su Yi had the deepest friendship, their own influence was great, and their sources of information were extensive, and Sima Hu and Xie Chun were close friends with the Wang family, so it was not too abrupt to visit them.

Sima Hu looked at Wang Boyuan, who was frowning tightly, and sighed.

He and Wang Boyuan are both good friends of Mu Yan, and they are also very close to each other.Wang Boyuan is a different person now than he was before, his whole body is like a sword drawn out of its scabbard, with a strong evil spirit, and there was a gloomy air between his brows and eyes.

Wang Boyuan and Wang Ting used to be the most dissolute members of the two generations of the Wang family, but now both of them seem to have gone to an unexpected extreme. Wang Ting commented that he is like a fox with a knife hidden in his smile, while Wang Boyuan is as cold and deep as a poisonous snake.Sima Hu is not familiar with Wang Ting, so it is not easy to make more comments.Wang Boyuan became like this, which made Sima Hu very uncomfortable.

Sima Hu vaguely heard some rumors about what happened to Wang Boyuan.After Wang Boyuan physically got rid of his drug addiction, he went to the frontier to join the army, and when he came back half a year later, he had become like this. No one knew what Wang Boyuan had gone through.All he knew was that after he returned to the capital, he voluntarily accepted a secret errand from the emperor, followed Wang Tin's side, and handled some undisclosed matters for the emperor.

The glamorous and promising son of an aristocratic family voluntarily "degenerates". Some people sigh and others laugh at him. Wang Futao once got drunk because of his younger brother's choice, wailed and hugged Xie Chun, and said that he was not qualified to be a big brother. I didn't protect my brother.

Seeing Wang Boyuan again today, and seeing his murderous look, Sima Hu's heart ached like a needle again.

But this is not the time for him to lament for what his friends have suffered, they gathered here for the sake of friendship.

The rest of them are fine, they are friends who know Su Yi's ability, and don't believe that he will put himself in a desperate situation.

But to say that this matter is false, the behavior of the prince and Mu Yan, as well as the attitude of the emperor, does not seem to be false.What's more, the Wang family also found out that there was indeed a mudslide that destroyed the road, and then found the corpse and the carriage.

Their understanding of this matter can only be obtained from the situation at the scene, and at the place of the battle, they were injured and fell into the water, washed down the river, and the escort soldiers who escaped by chance dictated.

Su Yi's sudden coma, the confusion of the escort team, and the sudden appearance of the interceptor were all learned from him.It's just that he fell into the water at the beginning of the battle and was washed away by the water, and was rescued by a caravan passing by the river, and he didn't know what happened afterwards.

"There is no need to speculate about the antecedent. If the celestial master can come back, the celestial master will naturally solve my doubts for us. If the celestial master can't come back, it's useless to think too much." Wang Boyuan closed his eyes, opened them after a while, suppressed the killing intent on his face, "Kangle will not be trapped in a cocoon. There must be someone behind him. No one in the carriage is the proof."

"Perhaps... the Celestial Master is really fine." Sima Hu suddenly remembered something.
