Liu Hao spoke angrily, Liu Zhang listened with a smile, and Liu Hao continued: "Don't talk about us in Yizhou, we are the Han Dynasty, and the family is also our cornerstone. Who did Emperor Guangwu rely on to overthrow Wang Mang's regime and defeat the rebels?
Not a family yet?
If there was no family, we Han people would have been dead for hundreds of years. As members of the royal family, we are also pastors and guardians. Brother, don’t you even know this truth?
In the past few years, brother, you all knew that you were lenient in governing the country. Why is it that in the past two years, it seems like you have changed into a different person? I really don’t know why you are doing these things to ruin the country. Who does this benefit?
I never wanted to take away your position as state pastor. When Zhao Wei and Pang Xi supported you, many people persuaded me to come out to fight with you, but I didn't. Today, I also don't want to be a state pastor.
But I can't do it without rebelling. I can't just watch you destroy my father's foundation, and I can't just watch you destroy the foundation of the Liu family. I can only overthrow you, and I won't regret it."
"Brother." Liu Hao looked at Liu Zhang and begged: "It doesn't matter if I die, but brother, you can't make any more mistakes. Please turn around."
"Haha, hahahahaha." Liu Zhang sneered, laughing louder and louder, leaning against the wall, laughing so hard that his whole body trembled.
Liu Zhang shook his robe and stood up, looked at Liu Hao and said: "Brother, it turns out that this is the case. Firstly, elder brother is not greedy for power, and secondly, he is not colluding with the family. I don't blame you anymore, but the law will not tolerate mercy, so just treat him as a helper."
My brother, do me one last favor."
"Are you still stubborn?" Liu Hao looked at Liu Zhang heartbrokenly and breathed a sigh of relief: "In this case, I have nothing to say. My brother has killed countless people in the past two years. I have already expected it, and I will wait for you below.
Sooner or later, my brother will come down and be with me, and then he will know that what he said today is for your own good, just..."
Liu Hao finished speaking in the tone of an eldest brother and glanced at the cell opposite. There was a boy and two girls in the cell opposite, both Liu Hao's children. Liu Hao changed his tone and said to Liu Zhang: "I just want to ask my brother later.
Take care of my three children."
Liu Zhang sighed and said: "Many people have said the same thing as my brother. They are all down there now, and I, Liu Zhang, am still up there. It's really hard to say what will happen in the future. As for my three nephews and nieces."
Liu Zhang glanced at the cell opposite and shook his head, "Unfortunately, all the rebellions this time are executed in units of whole families. I can't save my nephew. The female family members will not be killed, but they will be punished in the official camp. The fate of my sister-in-law and niece.
It’s not for me to arrange it.”
As soon as Liu Zhang finished speaking, Liu Hao and Wu Ran's expressions suddenly changed. Liu Hao rushed towards Liu Zhang, but was pushed away by Hu Che'er. He fell in the corner and Liu Hao said loudly: "Liu Zhang, you are still not a human being, you are a beast.
? Those are your nephews and nieces, they are the blood of my Liu family, you..."
Liu Hao suddenly felt his chest suffocate and vomited out a mouthful of blood. He had never expected this result. There was never the death penalty for clan crimes, but Liu Hao didn't take any chances when he discovered that Liu Zhang's temperament had changed.
However, Liu Hao never expected that Liu Zhang would be cruel enough to implicate his family. After his son died, he would be extinct, and his wife and daughter would be sent to the official camp. Where is that? What fate would that be?
Liu Hao's heart was bleeding, and he looked at Liu Zhang in horror and complete incomprehension, just wanting to see if Liu Zhang's flesh was made of iron.
Liu Zhang smiled faintly and was about to go out. Suddenly Wu Ran knelt down and said, "My lord, my lord."
Wu Ran said with a crying voice: "I know what we did was wrong. Please let the three children go. I'm willing to do anything, please."
Wu Ran said and kowtowed to the ground. Liu Zhang listened to the voice, took a deep breath, and shouted in a calm tone: "Come here, why are you in custody? Didn't I say female prisoners, felons?"
Are you separated from all the accomplices?"
"My lord, please forgive me. My lord, please forgive me."
At first, the prison guards thought that Liu Hao might die or not, but his family members would definitely survive, so they took care of them. When they heard Liu Zhang's words, the prison guards were frightened and hurriedly sent some people to take away Wu Ran and San.
A child.
The jailer closed the cell door, and Liu Zhang took Hu Che'er away. The voices of prisoners and the sound of whips were heard again. Liu Zhang was inexplicably agitated. Hu Che'er whispered: "My lord, your brother is so stupid. You are obviously doing this for the people. Why?"
Don’t tell him and let him listen? Let him know how ignorant he is.”
Although Hu Che'er didn't understand the truth, he had followed Liu Zhang for a long time and was present at every discussion, and he gradually understood the reasons why Liu Zhang did all this.
Liu Zhang smiled, a little lonely and bitter, and sighed: "Different Taoists do not work together. He will not understand anything I say. We think in different ways. Moreover, I also hope that he can die when he dies."
, thinking that what he did was right, so that he could die happily."
Liu Zhang now understands some truths. Some people are not born on the same path. He cannot satisfy everyone, nor can he change some people's thoughts and arguments, which is tiring.
The road ahead is full of dangers. To realize his ideal, Liu Zhang must sacrifice his feelings when he has no choice but to do so.
Before a king reaches the peak, there is always noisy noise.
Hu Che'er looked at Liu Zhang with wide eyes, and couldn't help but admire him greatly. He then said: "Master, do you really want to kill your brother's whole family?"
Liu Zhang glanced at Hu Che'er: "Why do you think you are accusing me when I hear this?"
"I don't dare." Hu Che'er hurriedly lowered his head and smiled. Originally, Hu Che'er wanted to kill all the traitors, but after what he had just experienced, Hu Che'er suddenly felt compassion in his heart.
At this time, the jailer was escorting Wu Ran out of the dungeon. Suddenly Wu Ran broke away from the jailer and ran towards Liu Zhang. She knelt down and cried to Liu Zhang again. She burst into tears. Liu Zhang wanted to leave, but Wu Ran hugged Liu Zhang's thigh.
"Sister-in-law." Liu Zhang looked down at the woman who became Liu Bei's empress in history, took a deep breath, knelt down and said: "Brother is not here, I will say a few words to you, it is up to you whether you listen or not.
My brother and nephew must die. I, Liu Zhang, don’t care about the reputation of being cold-blooded, ruthless or even a beast, because only in this way can those Xiaoxiao know that I, Liu Zhang, will not show mercy to anyone who rebels, including my close relatives, beasts, they can only
I cursed in my heart and didn’t even dare to say it out loud.”
Wu Ran looked at Liu Zhang blankly. Liu Zhang originally wanted to leave, but when he saw Wu Ran's face full of tears, he added: "The only thing I can do is to give you and your two nieces to the hero Wu Ban as maids."
."
After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he stood up and walked out without stopping. Wu Ran suddenly collapsed to the ground.
…………
In the middle of the night, Huang Yue woke up faintly and felt that someone was holding her hand tightly. She turned around and saw that it was Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang was sleeping on the bedside when he felt his hand being pulled. He woke up, looked at Huang Yue and smiled.
: "Yue'er, are you feeling better?"
Huang Yue nodded, but the pain in her stomach made her frown again and she gritted her teeth.
"Sister Ronger came here last night. Husband, you have marched long distances for several days without rest and have fought, so your bodies must be very tired. Why are you still accompanying Yue'er? Yue'er really doesn't know what to do."
Huang Yue wanted to get up, but her whole body was so weak that she couldn't get up at all.
Liu Zhang gently pressed Huang Yue's shoulders and said apologetically: "It's okay, I spent too little time with you, and you suffered so much this time. The situation in Chengdu is unstable. From tomorrow on,
I'm afraid I have to be busy again, so don't blame me."
"How could it be? My husband is a prince of a certain country, and his great cause should be his top priority." Huang Yue suddenly glanced at Liu Zhang and asked with some nervousness: "Husband, how is the child? What did Mr. Zhang say?"
Huang Yue glanced at her belly covered by a thin quilt, and now she cared about him the most. If she could give birth to him, she would be considered as a child for Liu Zhang. On the top of the city a few days ago, she was so devastated that she didn't realize that now.
I realized how much I cherished my flesh and blood with Liu Zhang.
"Don't worry, keep it safe, it'll be fine." Liu Zhang gave Huang Yue a reassuring smile. Huang Yue nodded hesitantly, glanced at his stomach again, and closed his eyes gently.
The next day, Xiao Furong came to take care of Huang Yue, and Liu Zhang led two hundred soldiers out of the city to patrol and arrest the clan. During the curfew, the population was sparse, and Chengdu almost turned into a dead city, but the suburbs were a different scene.
The common people voluntarily organized a security brigade to arrest the children of aristocratic families. After all, the children of aristocratic families are the figures who stand at the top of the pyramid. Although they are powerful, they have a small population.
When the people had Liu Zhang's backing and their fear of the aristocratic clan was gone, the servants who guarded the courtyard were either afraid of being executed, or they were greedy for land rewards and silver, so they turned against each other one after another. There were not many people who were willing to die loyal to their master. All of a sudden, the aristocratic clans in Chengdu
Submerged in the vast sea of mass struggle.
In the counties and cities outside Chengdu, there are scenes everywhere of people twisting the children of aristocratic families into the courtyards for approval. Whenever the charges are carried out, charges will be written down one by one and they will be imprisoned. All the properties and houses of the aristocratic families will be seized by the government.
"I didn't expect that I would have to use this trick." Liu Zhang shook his head lazily.
"Lord, what did you say?" Hu Che'er asked.
"Nothing." Liu Zhang led people to a village.
There are dozens of households in the village, three or four yards, and some single-family houses. The largest yard among them used to belong to the head of the Yan family. Now it has been sealed off by the county officials. The people formed a circle and surrounded the Yan family.
Seven or eight men were surrounded in the middle, including a boy no taller than a wheel.
Several people lowered their heads, their eyes almost numb.
Liu Zhang has ordered that all female family members under the latest childbearing age of the family be taken away. Huang Yueying said that women are the guarantee of the future population.
The common people were in full swing reviewing and approving the children of the Yan family. They were very frightened when they saw Liu Zhang coming. Liu Zhang greeted the officials in charge and asked them to continue.
The people were very restrained at first, maybe criticizing people was an addictive job, but soon they became enthusiastic again.
"Yan Fang, when you robbed my daughter, you gave me ten cents. My daughter refused to die and finally committed suicide. You dumped the body in front of my house. I went to sue the government. Not only did you collude with your Zheng family
My brother-in-law falsely accused me of beating my daughter to death and put me in jail for a month.
I even got someone to knock on my door. My eighty-year-old grandma was so angry that she died of it. Today, the emperor is in power, and I can finally tell you about this account clearly. What else can you say to a bully like me?"
"Beast."
"A killer with a thousand swords."
"God opens your eyes."
"Yan Xiong, you have occupied the three paddy fields in the Big Bunker for so many years. Now it's time to return them to me. At first, you said that you would open canals and colluded with the officials in your family. You said that you would seize my land by force, but now the canals have not been opened.
Not only did you occupy the village's pond, but you also refused to return the land to me. You weren't very majestic back then, so why are you mute now?"
"Evil people will eventually be punished. Watch how these evil people die."
"What a dog."
"Zhang Kai, how did I offend you? I have been a servant of the Yan family for so many years, and you, a son-in-law of the Yan family, are picky and picky with me, and you are fined and confiscated at every turn. It is your Yan family's daughter-in-law who is so harsh on you.
, If I don’t give you money, you’ll attack servants like us, and you’ll be in a panic whether you lose or not.”
"The conscience was eaten by the dog."
"Wimp."
"Raking ears."
The common people were counting the crimes of the clan members, and a literate young man was recording them. These clan members have been pampered, and no one has a clean butt. From morning to night, dozens of crimes were listed for each clan member.
Some are exaggerated, some are fictional, and half are untrue.
But this is not important. I am not Bao Qingtian, and I am not here to judge the case. Sometimes as long as it conforms to the general trend, right or wrong is not that important.
For nine consecutive days, the people's enthusiasm was high. Almost all the children of the aristocratic families on the rebel list were arrested. They were regarded as meritorious services by the people and imprisoned in their own homes. In the end, there were no aristocratic children, and some people who could not reach the territory were anxious.
If it doesn't work, I'll take it like a hunt and go to the mountains to catch those rich people who have fled into the mountains.
Liu Zhang inspected counties and cities every day during the day and dealt with government affairs at night. He was a little tired. Fortunately, nine days passed, the situation gradually stabilized, and there were a lot less government affairs that he needed to handle.
It was another dusk. Liu Zhang visited a farther county and rushed back to Chengdu very late.
The crescent moon was high, and Liu Zhang and his soldiers took a break on the official road. Liu Zhang leaned against a tree and closed his eyes, thinking about the current situation in Yizhou.
Now the destruction is over, and the construction is not on the right track yet. It is impossible to continue the struggle like this. The people have not done any farm work in the past nine days. If this continues, everyone will starve to death.
After tomorrow, we must focus on resuming production.
The aristocratic family is a nobleman sandwiched between the ruler and the ordinary people, and the aristocracy is inevitably formed in any era. It is either a noble family, a soldier, a businessman, or a combination of both.
There is a disconnect between people.
He cannot avoid it either, and now it seems that what he can cultivate is the business aristocracy. To develop business, he must first develop agriculture and supervise the orderly conduct of business...
Liu Zhang was thinking about it, and when his head hurt, suddenly, a soldier in the forest yelled.
"There are assassins."
Wang Xu hurriedly led a group of soldiers in and took out a man wearing a gauze hat. Liu Zhang saw that it was Qu Lingchen. Hu Cheer walked up stupidly, opened the gauze hat and took a look.
The escorting soldiers opened it.
"What are you looking at, Miss Qu? My lord is over there."
Hu Che'er said with a proud smile, as if he had made a great contribution, and Qu Lingchen's face turned red.
…………
"Yan'er, why are you here? Are you... here to assassinate me?"
Liu Zhang and Qu Lingchen were sitting on a large rock. The remaining heat of the sun had been blown away by the night wind on the large rock, leaving it completely cool. Except for Hu Che'er, soldiers stood guard fifty steps away.
Qu Lingchen put Shali aside, the breeze blew on his cheeks, and did not speak for a long time. After a long time, he said: "The big leader's rebellion failed. Now there are only a dozen people left in the alliance, and they have all fled to other states.
It's all because of me that I'm sorry for him. Before the big boss left, he left me a secret code at the meeting point and asked me to find him."
Qu Lingchen had some guilt on his face.
"So, you plan to go find him?"
Qu Lingchen nodded: "I just wanted to see you one last time. I didn't plan to see you at all. I didn't expect..."
The soldier went to use the latrine and unexpectedly found a stranger. Since Liu Zhang was assassinated last time, the soldiers were more alert. When the soldier saw Qu Lingchen holding the piano and holding the sword, he was hiding alone.
In the wilderness, either assassins or goblins started shouting.
Qu Lingchen could have left, but in the end he didn't.
Liu Zhang hugged Qu Lingchen over and sat on his lap, feeling the soft hips and smooth pink back, and the faint fragrance penetrated his heart.
"Yan'er, I respect your decision. I know that many people want to assassinate me. After this time in Chengdu, I don't know how many more people will be there. Everyone has their own position. That big boss is very good to you, so you feel that you have betrayed him.
I'm sorry, he has to continue to follow, I understand.
However, I feel that if you follow like this, sooner or later we will still be enemies. What will we choose between me and your leader? If it is him, you can leave now and I will not keep you."
"I..." Qu Lingchen turned back and glanced at Liu Zhang, his eyes a little panicked.
Liu Zhang continued: "If you are willing to stay with me, why not stay and stop tossing around outside, okay?"
Liu Zhang looked at Qu Lingchen's beautiful face and pushed the hair from her forehead with his hands. Qu Lingchen looked at her confusedly, "Look at you. You run outside every day. Your body has become thinner, your face has become darker, and your chin has changed."
It’s too sharp, and the eyes are dull.”
Liu Zhang said, Qu Lingchen couldn't help but follow what he said, and touched her face with a look of anxiety. Liu Zhang looked at her and suddenly kissed Qu Lingchen gently on the lips. Qu Lingchen then
Then she realized that Liu Zhang was playing tricks on her, and she pushed her angrily.
But he didn't exert any effort. Instead, he was hugged tighter and tighter, and his teeth were penetrated by foreign objects. Liu Zhang's hand slipped through the thin clothes to his waist and touched the proud chest.
Qu Lingchen made a "squeak" sound. Being forced to do such a thing in such a place, he couldn't help but blush with embarrassment. However, Liu Zhang didn't let go, and he couldn't bear to push it away. After pushing for a while, he could only bear it silently, feeling moved.
Underneath, he responded awkwardly.
After a long time, Liu Zhang let go of Qu Lingchen, looked at her breathing heavily and said, "Yan'er, I want you to go back with me."
