Xue Bai has always been too lazy to pay attention to others, but Lai Yi is special.

While others were looking for profit, Lai Yi came to take the lead personally to control the situation. This thought is difficult to understand. Simply put, he was afraid that local officials would be forced to rebel by the new law and cause chaos in the world, so he organized them to

form this orderly protest.

The premise is that in Lai Yi's heart, Xue Bai was indeed completely wrong.

This is a naughty person, doing naughty things is difficult and thankless, and he may offend all parties if he turns around, but there are always such people in the world.

So Xue Bai scolded him.

"Idiot! The Tang Dynasty was founded on the equalization of land. The foundation lies in the equalization of land. Ask yourself, who ruined the foundation of the Tang Dynasty? Is it these greedy bugs or me who controls the equalization of land?!"

The more Lai Yi was scolded, the more stubborn he became. He frowned and said, "If you do something you know you can't do, you will bring disaster to the country and the people!"

"Why can't I do it?"

"Don't you understand yet?" Lai Yi said, "Others may succeed in reforming their methods, but you cannot!"

Xue Bai said: "Okay! Tell me, why?!"

He knew that the Tang Dynasty also reformed the tax system in history. Although it was not as radical as him, the two tax laws and various miscellaneous taxes including the rent system were patchworked together in parallel. After all, the reform was successful and there was no

Such a big resistance.

Why can't he change the law when it comes to him?

In addition to his stricter implementation of the new law, another very important reason is that the world's ministers and nobles do not agree with him in their hearts.

Some people think that he is impersonating the royal family to usurp the throne. Some people believe that he is Li Qian, but they despise him for his past lowliness.

They will inevitably think, "We pinched our noses and recognized someone like you as the emperor, so you just have to obey our wishes."

This is the shortcoming of legitimacy, nothing can be done so logically.

It's like a man from a humble background married a wealthy daughter, but he said he wanted to take a concubine, but others could do it, but he couldn't.

Of course, everyone knows these things in their hearts, and they naturally scold "Xue Ni" in private, but rarely say it openly. Li Chengyu kept shouting "anti-Xue Ni" in private, and he really rushed to the palace.

Here, it is still "I came to rescue you".

Until then, Xue Bai asked in public.

"Why?"

"Don't you know?!"

Before Lai Yi could answer, Li Xian strode out and shouted in a deep voice.

Xue Bai was a little disappointed that Li Xian finally stood on the opposite side.

Back then, Li Xian participated in the palace coup initiated by Li Longji. Although Xue Bai demoted him, he thought that one day he would call him back and re-appoint him as prime minister. Unexpectedly, he gradually drifted away.

After all, Xue Bai personally killed Li Xian's brother Li Xian without any mercy.

"Are your reforms for the sake of the Tang Dynasty? Or are you trying to eliminate dissidents and cover up your ulterior motives?!"

Li Xian's words led the reform issue to Xue Bai's life experience.

This is Xue Bai's most fatal weakness.

But in fact, Li Xian was more sure that Xue Bai was Li Qian than Xue Bai himself, because he went to Hedong on Li Longji's secret order to find out whether Xue Bai was forcing An Lushan to rebel, and he suspected that Xue Bai was Li Qian.

At that time, he even determined that "the emperor's grandson Li Qian concealed his identity and approached His Majesty in the name of Xue Bai."

In other words, Li Xian was an important witness that Xue Bai could succeed to the throne.

Now it was he who was the first to publicly deny it in front of countless high officials and nobles.

"I suspect that you pretended to be the emperor's heir, usurped the country, and then killed Zhongliang in vain in the name of reform..."

"No need to doubt it!"

Xue Bai interrupted Li Xian's words loudly.

He knew that the Zhongliang mentioned by Li Xian was Li Xian. Li Xian said that "the Tang Dynasty was founded by good family members" and had a tit-for-tat conflict with Xue Bai. Now this conflict has been erased. No one wants to argue anymore, they just think about it.

How to deal with the other party.

It was like a debate that ended with a curse word.

Xue Bai also broke the jar.

"It is true that I am not the emperor's heir, so I will restore my name and change my country's name. What will you do with it?!"

"..."

Li Xian was about to speak full of accusations when he was stunned for a moment.

His long speeches were actually finished in one sentence by Xue Bai, so the words stuck in his throat, and then he raised his finger angrily at Xue Bai.

"You...you are rebelling!"

It was indeed Li Xian who was right. Xue Bai wanted to rebel from the bottom of his heart, to rebel against these feudal officials, and to rebel against the strict class system of the world, which divided people into three, six or nine levels.

He ascended to the position of emperor step by step, not for enjoyment. What he enjoyed in his previous life was something no emperor in the world could even imagine. If emperors were allowed to imagine his life, it would be like a farmer imagining that the emperor plowed the land with a golden hoe.

In this way, it is better to be an emperor than to rebel.

"That's right, I'm just the opposite!"

Not only Li Xian, but also all the officials who rushed into the palace were shocked.

They are the ones here to rebel.

At this moment, they realized that they actually did not have the courage to rebel. They talked about "great achievements", but in fact, they still subconsciously believed that Xue Bai would give in.

They were used to "conquering people with virtue", and their military strength was just the backing to show their strength. They thought they would argue and discuss as usual, but in the endless arguments, Xue Bai realized how powerful they were and became something they could manipulate at will.

"Mingjun".

However, Xue Bai was completely out of control.

Li Chengyu was also stunned. He was stunned for a while, then stepped forward and shouted at the guards on the steps.

"Did you all hear it? He admitted that he is Xue Ni and he rebelled... Are you still protecting him? Get out of the way! We will bring order to the chaos!"

After all, these ministers had too much and did not have the courage to fight for their lives. When they faced each other in battle, they still expected the other side's soldiers and horses to get out of the way.

Fan Lao listened and sneered.

The reason why he and his men are standing here is because they are accomplices who followed Xue Bai in his attempt to usurp the throne. How could they get out of the way?

Not only did they not get out of the way, they suddenly raised their weapons and shouted to kill.

"If you don't retreat, after three bells ring, anyone who dares to collide with His Majesty will be killed without mercy!"

"Boom——"

Above the bright hall, a long bell suddenly sounded.

The so-called "sound like a loud bell" means that the sound of the bell was so loud that it spread throughout Luoyang City.

"retreat!"

The guards were shouting and murderous.

Li Chengyu felt timid for no reason, so he took a few steps back and huddled among the ministers. Looking back, he felt more at ease when he saw the many people and horses they had brought with them.

"Boom——"

At the second bell, a small number of people were finally frightened and began to retreat.

The nobles and nobles gathered in front of the stone steps were unable to get off the stage at this time. Since Xue Bai admitted to treason in front of them, he was the mortal enemy of the Tang Dynasty. As the clan and ministers of the Tang Dynasty, how could they sit idly by and ignore it?

"Xue Ni!"

Someone shouted loudly.

"You brought trouble to the world, attempted to usurp the throne, killed loyal people, and harmed the people... and you still haven't eliminated the traitors for the Tang Dynasty?!"

"Let's see who controls the world today!"

Some people turned red in the face, raised their arms high and waved, and read out the famous lines of "Chao Wu Zhao Xi", trying to remind everyone of the disasters caused by Wu Zhou and the Tang Dynasty, and arouse resistance.

"Still not backing down?!"

"Kill it!"

Li Xian finally made up his mind.

However, he realized at this time that his side was not fully prepared for rebellion in advance and had not elected a commander.

At this time, Lai Yi was still in a daze and could not give orders with him.

"Lai Gong, Xue Ni has rebelled, we have to..."

"Boom——"

The last bell interrupted Li Xian's words.

He was still standing on the stone steps at this time. Looking back, he saw a murderous army of soldiers and horses rushing into the Qianyuan Gate.

"What's going on?" Li Xian murmured, "Where are our people guarding outside?"
