Chapter 184: Xu Ambitions and Desire to Become the First Emperor
Carrying Liu Yan, Zhang returned to Chengdu. Liu Zhang called the doctor and drank two bowls of dark stuff, and Liu Yan and Zhang regained consciousness.
"Where...am I?" Liu Yan was in better health and woke up faster. He opened his eyes and found that he was not in a familiar place, so he immediately asked.
"Father, are you awake?" Liu Zhang sat next to Liu Yan and said with a smile, "This is the governor's office of Yizhou!"
"The governor's office?" Liu Yan glanced at it and found that it was indeed the governor's office in Yizhou. He couldn't help laughing and asked, "Why am I here?"
"Father, you have been kidnapped!" Liu Zhang helped Liu Yan sit up and put a pillow on his back.
"A robbery?" Liu Yan shook his head, as if he didn't remember anything. Suddenly, Liu Yan asked: "Where is the Zhang family?"
"Uh... over there!" Pointing to the Zhang family on the side, Liu Zhang suddenly felt a little helpless. I don't know if it was a matter of blood, but the Liu family seemed to like ***. Liu Bang had a Wu wife, and Emperor Jing had a Mrs. Wang.
Liu Yan, however, had a soft spot for a well-maintained little widow.
"Huh?" While he was thinking about it, Liu Zhang suddenly remembered Queen Mother He, and he was shocked and said: "No way! I remember that I am a lolicon, so why am I thinking about having sex!"
Shaking away the inexplicable thoughts in his mind, Liu Zhang suddenly found that Liu Yan looked at him with a very doting look. Liu Zhang couldn't help asking: "Father, why do you look at me like this?"
"Mr. Zhang and I were kidnapped. My son must have been very troubled when he brought us back!" Liu Yan had a gentle face, and his eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
Liu Zhang shook his head and said: "What's the trouble? I only know that if my father wakes up and can't see her, he will be very sad. Although my mother has passed away, I believe that she never wants to see her father sad! It's as if her mother knew about witchcraft.
The medical treatment is useless, but I still do what my father wants, just because I am afraid that my father will be unhappy!"
A trace of guilt appeared on Liu Yan's face. In fact, in ancient times, there was nothing wrong with being flirtatious, and there was nothing wrong with having more women. The mistake was that Liu Yan only had two women, but he didn't take good care of them. Women in ancient times were not as possessive as in modern times.
Women are so strong, and all Mrs. Liu needs is a little care. Unfortunately, Liu Yan didn't notice.
"By the way, who kidnapped us?" Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Liu Yan quickly changed the subject.
Liu Zhang sneered: "Zhang Wei, Zhang Xiu!"
"What? Impossible!" A scream sounded nearby. It turned out that Mrs. Zhang had woken up.
"Where are they?" Liu Yan knew that Liu Zhang would not lie to him because there was no need!
"Run away!" Liu Zhang shook his head and said: "I really didn't expect that the Zhao family, Jia family, and Zhang Xiu all have a tunnel leading to the outside of the city. Fortunately, they discovered it early. If they use this tunnel to plot evil in the future,
That would be troublesome!"
Liu Yan sighed: "Zhang'er, you have gone too far!"
"Father, I don't like hearing what you are saying! As the saying goes: Once the emperor, there are always ministers. If Zhang Xiu and others are really capable, I will naturally use them. But what are they doing? They rely on their seniority and do not obey orders.
, disrespecting orders, fighting for power, and occupying people's fields. Now in troubled times, I need Yizhou as a foundation, but they are destroying my foundation. I am extremely merciful by not killing them. They actually don't want to repent. Can you blame me?
!" Liu Zhang was furious and wanted to eat Zhang Xiu and others alive.
Liu Yan knew that Liu Zhang was telling the truth, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "This kind of thing can be done slowly. Do you need to use such thunderous means?"
"Come here, take Mrs. Zhang down!" What Liu Zhang is going to say next is all confidential. Mrs. Zhang is not his confidant, so naturally she cannot hear these words. Mrs. Zhang is also very sensible, so she goes down with the primary school!
Liu Zhang saw his confidants on both sides, so he smiled and said: "Father, Dong Zhuo has an army of 400,000. If he is in a bad mood and sends 200,000 to Shu, but I don't have a solid foundation, I will definitely die! Now all the princes in the world are expanding their strength.
, once the heroes compete, you will die or I will perish. Four hundred years ago, Emperor Gaozu founded the Han Dynasty; two hundred years ago, Guangwu Zhongxing; now, his son wants to be the second Emperor Guangwu, even surpassing Emperor Gaozu, Guangwu, let the Han Dynasty
Go on forever! The position of emperor is not attractive to my son. If he wants to do it, his son must be the first emperor of Han Dynasty!"
"The First Emperor of the Han Dynasty?" Liu Yan was stunned, but everyone standing next to him looked excited.
Ever since Liu Zhang took over Yizhou, Guo Jia and others felt that he was not enterprising. For example, Dong Zhuo's position should belong to Liu Zhang, but Liu Zhang gave up. For a lord without ambition, his subordinates will often rebel.
Just like Liu Zhang in history, Zhang Song, Fazheng, and Meng Da jointly sold him.
Today, Liu Zhang revealed his ambition for the first time, and his ambition excited Guo Jia, Fazheng and others.
Yes! In the eyes of the world, Qin Shihuang is a tyrant. However, no one can deny Qin Shihuang's achievements. Some people may say that the Qin Dynasty only lasted for a short fifteen years, but who would dare to rebel while Qin Shihuang was still alive? Besides,
Liu Zhang did not want to be a tyrant like Qin Shihuang, but wanted to create a lasting legacy for the Han Dynasty!
Liu Zhang glanced at the crowd and said: "Now that the world is in chaos, the Han Dynasty has lost its deer, and there must be manpower to turn the tide! Two hundred years ago, Guangwu Zhongxing, but Emperor Guangwu only allowed the Han Dynasty to continue for two hundred years. The child is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty, why?
Can't we follow the example of Emperor Guangwu? Qin Shihuang once said that if we want the Qin Dynasty to spread from one generation to all generations, I also want the Han Dynasty to spread from one generation to all generations. Without the change of dynasties, there will be no wars in the world. Qin Shihuang doesn't know what to do, son.
But he knows the simplest and most effective way: to keep people fed and clothed all over the world!"
"Let the people of the world be fed and clothed?" Zhao Yun, who was standing aside, murmured to himself, but his face was full of fanaticism.
You must know that Zhao Yun is different from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are blindly loyal, but Zhao Yun is a benevolent general. Just like Yuan Shao was unkind, Zhao Yun defected to Gongsun, and Gongsun was immoral, but Zhao Yun defected to Liu Bei. Maybe
Zhao Yun will not betray, but if his master does not meet the standards in his heart, he will leave!
Liu Zhang patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and said: "Zilong, it is a difficult goal to feed and clothe the people of the world, but I am determined to do it, and I will be able to do it one day. Moreover, I also know how to do it,
It’s just that the conditions are not mature yet.”
"Yun is willing to go through fire and water for his lord's great cause!" Zhao Yunmeng knelt on the ground and looked at Liu Zhang enthusiastically. In Zhao Yun's view, no matter whether Liu Zhang can do it or not, as long as he has the heart, he is a lord worthy of assistance.
"We are also willing to go through fire and water for your lord's great cause!" Zhao Yun's statement immediately aroused the resonance of everyone. Dian Wei, Guo Jia, Fazheng, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Song, etc. actually knelt on the ground.
"Get up!" Liu Zhang helped everyone up and said, "You don't have to be like this! If I want to create a great cause, I need your help. One day, when the Han Dynasty is revived, I will build a pavilion called Lingyun Pavilion. Only portraits of heroes are enshrined in it.
I will not let future generations forget those who have made great contributions to the founding of the Han Dynasty!"
Everyone was very excited when they heard this. As a minister, who doesn't want to leave a name in history? Just like Long Feng and Bigan, they died in exchange for eternal fame, so that later generations of ministers were proud of being punished by the emperor's stick, and were killed by the emperor.
Death is a honor. Especially for Fang Xiaoru, a great scholar in the Ming Dynasty, regardless of his ability to govern the country, just because he was the only person in Chinese history who had ten tribes exterminated by the emperor, he was enough to leave a name in history.
Looking at the excited crowd, and then at the dumbfounded Liu Yan, Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Father, everyone! As the saying goes: One general can make thousands of bones wither! If we want to build a court that will never perish, how can we not die? How many people?
People with lofty ideals sacrifice their lives and shed their blood for the sake of the world. How can we let those short-sighted people stand in their way? The Zhao family and the Jia family only know how to occupy people's fields and fish and meat towns. I want to deprive them of their privileges, and they still have to resist. How can I have time?
Are you arguing with them?"
After the initial excitement, Guo Jia had calmed down, and he couldn't help but ask: "My lord, your ambition is so lofty. If you can take over the imperial court and issue orders in the name of the imperial court, wouldn't you get twice the result with half the effort?"
"Wrong! If I really do that, it will be half the result with twice the result!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "It is so difficult to reform bad habits in Yizhou. If I announce in the court that the land and slaves of the world's noble families will be confiscated, we will
Facing the world's famous families and their coalition forces, it will not be Dong Zhuo's 300,000 to 400,000-strong army, but a million-strong army. At that time, we will only have one way to perish, or we will change our policies. By then, even if I sit on the throne, it will be nothing more.
It is similar to Gaozu Guangwu. It may take a hundred years or hundreds of years, but the world will still be in chaos. Instead of this, it is better to destroy and then establish, and clean up one state after another. First, take Yizhou as the foundation, then occupy Sili, merge with Liang,
Fight for hegemony in the Central Plains, then sweep across the southeast to unify the world!"
"This..." Guo Jia was shocked! He never imagined that the lazy Liu Zhang actually had such a big picture in his mind. He had never underestimated Liu Zhang, but even so, he still underestimated Liu Zhang. It turned out that
It's not that Liu Zhang didn't have great ambitions, it's that he stood at a higher point and saw farther and clearer.
Looking at Guo Jia's astonished expression, Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Fengxiao, do you think this is over? In fact, I am a big man with more space! To the east and south of the big man, there is a sea, and there are countless islands on the sea.
Not far from the sea to the east, there is a large island, equivalent to one-third of the area of Dahan. There is also a large area of land to the north, even dozens of times larger than Dahan! Don't always limit yourself to the land of Dahan
, we have to stand high and look into the distance!"
"My lord, how do you know that there is a large land outside the Han Dynasty?" Fazheng was young. Hearing what Liu Zhang said, he immediately became interested.
Liu Zhang touched Fazheng's head and said: "Xiaozhi, this world is so big that you and I can't imagine it. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt that the Western Regions were already big enough, but in the past, there was also Western Qin. But was Western Qin still there?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't know about other countries. I can tell you responsibly that there are!"
