Chapter 508 Whose fault?(2/2)
The unique scenery of Jiangnan is indeed, with outstanding people and beautiful people. In addition, it is far away from war and turmoil, the Jiangnan region has become the most prosperous area in Dazhao for a hundred years and an important part of the lifeline of Dazhao's economy.
At the same time, a large number of aristocratic families were born in the Jiangnan region. These families have been passed down for a hundred years, and some even follow the founding heroes of Taizu. With hundreds of years of inheritance, they have gradually become giants.
They were far away from the capital, gradually escaped from the control of the court, and mastered the true economic lifeline of Jiangnan. Even the court had to be cautious.
These aristocratic families joined forces to become a huge force in the Jiangnan region. They monopolized the economic taxation of Jiangnan and almost became chief officials.
Over the years, the imperial court has become increasingly weak in control of Jiangnan. Although the economy in the Jiangnan region is prospering, the tax revenue is less and less every year. Various reasons are emerging one after another, and the imperial court is perfunctory.
The ministers sent out for investigation every year in the imperial court eventually found nothing. The aristocratic families in the Jiangnan region that had already formed a rope have become a community of interests.
For the court, this is undoubtedly a very serious problem.
The annual tax revenue in Jiangnan region accounts for almost one-quarter of Dazhao's annual tax revenue. Once something happens to Jiangnan region, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to Dazhao.
However, over the years, the court has no way of doing anything about this.
Under Dazhao's calm appearance, the mainland has already been full of holes and is in danger.
Su Xiang closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
After a while, he opened his eyes and stared at Zhao Jing again: "Is this your reason?"
Zhao Jing looked at Su Xiang and said calmly: "Father, he could have been a good emperor, but he didn't do that!"
"I, Dazhao, have an unshirkable responsibility for my internal and external troubles. He is not a good emperor. He is so deprived of the government. Dazhao is in his hands, and it is only a matter of time before he goes to perish!"
Su Xiang's eyes were cold: "Is this the reason for you to kill your father?"
"As the prince of Dazhao, I cannot watch Dazhao fall, I cannot watch Dazhao's country be destroyed in the hands of my father!"
Zhao Jing's eyes were very firm.
He cannot deny that he is indeed selfish!
But, so what?
He was originally the crown prince of Dazhao, and he was the only one who could sit in the territory of Dazhao!
After his father has been in power for so many years, he has abandoned the government so much that why does he still occupy that position?
He didn't want to wait until one day when he ascended the throne, Dazhao would be surrounded by enemies and could not make a comeback!
Therefore, he must do something, even if his decision will make him despise by the world!
But he doesn't regret it!
He has the ability and confidence to do better than his father!
"I didn't plan to kill my father, I just wanted him to leave that position!"
Zhao Jing said calmly: "As long as he writes the abdication edict, what's wrong with being a stable emperor?"
"Let you say too many sweet words. It is a certain fact that you kill the lord and the father, and you can't even wash it out!"
Su Xiang spoke coldly.
No matter how scattered Zhao Jing said, the facts are the facts.
In order to ascend the throne, he murdered his father!
His body was stained with the blood of his father. How can such a despicable person be qualified to inherit the orthodox of the Great Jokhang?
Zhao Jing looked at Su Xiang and said, "The person who killed him is not me, but those three Taoist priests!"
Su Xiang looked at him coldly: "Do you want to tell me that those three people are not yours?"
He had always suspected the origin of the three Taoist priests, but at that time His Majesty favored the three people, and the three people seemed to have some skills, which made His Majesty's health much better, so he did not pursue it.
Now it seems that those three people are indeed having problems.
The three Taoist priests plotted to murder His Majesty?
If there is no one instructing them behind them, I am afraid no one will believe them.
As for whom the instructor is, it goes without saying.
"Su Xiangke knows, what is the elixir they ate for their father?"
Zhao Jing spoke slowly: "There are some banned drugs from all over the world in that elixir. The so-called banned drugs are some medicines that have miraculous effects but are indelible and harmful to the body..."
"In the past few years, the father has relied on their so-called immortal pill to prolong his life. Although his body seems to have improved, the immortal pill has long damaged the father's internal organs and has been poisoned to the extreme!"
He paused for a moment and spoke slowly: "Su Xiang should also know very well that his father was the number one master at the time. To this day, there are few opponents of his father... But even if his father's martial arts are superb, he will block it.
Can't resist the erosion of drugs!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Jing looked at Su Jianan and slowly spoke: "If I told Su Xiang that I was not aware of all this, would you believe Su Xiang?"
Su Xiang looked at him coldly: "What do you think?"
"I am indeed a sinner. I am extremely sinful and deserve death!"
Zhao Jing slowly closed his eyes, and the expression on his face seemed a little indifferent.
He will not deny his crimes!
Killing your father to the throne is hard tolerate.
He is already the damnest person in the world!
"I don't beg Su Xiang for forgiveness. What I said today is just to tell Su Xiang that it doesn't matter if I, Zhao Jing, dies, but the success of Dazhao today is inseparable from the joint efforts of all the emperors and good ministers like Su Xiang.
!”
"No matter what, I don't want Dazhao to be destroyed by the emperor, or in your and my hands!"
"I also plead for Su Xiang to see the 200th year of foundation in our Zhao Dynasty, the efforts of the previous emperors to govern, and the countless people in our Zhao Dynasty..."
"Save my century-old foundation in Dazhao and revive my glory!"
