Call of Heroes: A History Only I Know

Chapter 24 Why did Your Majesty rebel?

There is no doubt that Su Che is the pinnacle of calming the sea in Taiping Dao, his face is as usual, and the others no longer panic after seeing him.

Su Che's old god said, "I know."

"General Tiangong, are we going to make a big deal?" Guo Ping asked with a serious face.

At this time, someone reported: "Great virtuous teacher, Liu Yu, shepherd of Youzhou, please see me!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed again.

The state pastor is the highest leader of a state. At this critical point in time, the state pastor asks to see?
What does it mean?
Although Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yu and Su Che usually have a good relationship, they didn't take this relationship seriously. They were all people who wanted to rebel, how could they be with such serious royal relatives? Get too close?

Su Che said with a smile, "Boan is here? Follow me to meet him!"

Saying this, Su Che led the crowd outside.

"Brother Bo'an, long time no see." Su Che saluted Liu Yu with a smile.

"Great virtuous teacher, you are in great trouble. Those county guards and county magistrates even signed a blood letter to sue you!" Liu Yu said seriously with a serious face.

As soon as these words came out, the people behind Su Che looked at each other, not knowing what Liu Yu meant.

"Brother Bo'an, don't worry, come in and talk." Su Che smiled and took Liu Yu's hand.

Who said that rebellion cannot establish a good relationship with the royal relatives?The relationship between Su Che and Liu Yu is quite good, and they both regard each other as close friends, which is exactly the case, Liu Yu rushed over as soon as he got the news.

"The knife has reached the neck, why not worry?" Liu Yu was dumbfounded.

"No rush, let's have a cup of tea first." Su Che said with a smile.

Liu Yu dressed very plainly. As a relative of the emperor and the shepherd of a state, he almost spent all his family wealth on disaster relief. He usually eats simple food, but he can't even see a bit of meat because he wants to see friends. , he wore his only green shirt without patches... This dress was given by Su Che.

After Liu Yu sat down in the room, everyone under Su Che's command had subtle expressions, and only Yu Ji had a smiling expression.

Yu Ji was amazed at Su Che's ability to make friends.

Once, when Su Che had a discussion with him, he said something that shook his ears - "Who is our enemy? Who is our friend? This issue is the primary issue of our uprising."

These words are simple and straightforward, but it is extremely difficult to really do it. Who is the enemy and who is the friend?
Su Che also said: "If we want to rebel, is the royal family surnamed Liu really our enemy? Can't they become our friends?"

These words made Yu Ji doubt his own ears even more, and even wonder if Su Che's brain is broken - you want to rebel, you want to turn against the great man, so why should you still be friends with the royal family surnamed Liu?
How hilarious!

But Su Che wasn't joking. His rebellion was completely different from what Yu Ji understood. What he wanted to overthrow was the hopelessly corrupt Han Dynasty, not a royal family surnamed Liu.

Putting the royal family surnamed Liu in the position of the enemy is obviously a bit hasty.

In Yu Ji's view, the only way to change the world and realize Datong is to completely overthrow the decadent Han Dynasty, including the royal family surnamed Liu.
But from Su Che's point of view, the reason why the Han Dynasty decayed into what it is today has nothing to do with the royal family surnamed Liu. The current emperor Liu Hong is certainly fatuous and likes to indulge in pleasure. He put aside political affairs and handed over power to the eunuchs.

But the problem is, if Liu Hong really worked hard, he would have died long ago!
Even if he doesn't die, can he change all this?

The answer is obviously no.

When the land is merged to the extreme, the peasants at the bottom have no guarantee of survival. For a feudal dynasty, destruction is their inevitable and irreversible fate. This is the social law of the feudal dynasty.

This is a cycle.

This is "destiny".

Su Che clearly understands this point. He wants to change his fate against the sky, change the world, and make the world unified. The only way is to unite with all those who can be united, even if this person is the royal family with the surname Liu!
At the end of the first week, Su Che's Yellow Turban Army rebelled. In battle after battle, Su Che got to know Liu Yu, his opponent, and knew his style and character.

So in the second week, Su Che directly became friends with him, and discussed with him how to "save the country"!
That night, after a long talk all night, Su Che persuaded Liu Yu and became close friends with him. The Youzhou matter went so smoothly, thanks to Liu Yu's intelligence.

Liu Yu, as the royal family with the surname Liu, stands from the perspective of the country, which is completely opposite to the aristocratic family.

Su Che's actions in the way of peace, beating the landlords, dividing the land, touched the interests of the aristocratic families, the interests of those officials, not the interests of the big man!

Therefore, even if Liu Yu, who is the governor of the state, had a good relationship with Su Che, he could not stop those county guards and county magistrates from jointly signing a blood letter and filing a petition to the imperial court to designate Taipingdao as a traitor.

At this moment, Liu Yu came here not out of hypocrisy, nor to spy on information, but sincerely, worried about Su Che's safety.

"Hey, what should I do..." Liu Yu said helplessly.

However, Su Che said with a smile: "Brother Bo'an, I have already reported the situation to the court, so you can rest assured! Besides, what is right is to be smashed to pieces! Why should I be afraid of death? "

……

Luoyang.

Royal Palace.

Eunuch Zhang Rang brought his subordinates, carrying a huge mirror and several account books to the Gui Palace in the north of Weiyang Palace.

At the moment, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty is playing with dozens of young women in tulle.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Rang asks to see you!" A palace maid conveyed the news.

"Let him come here quickly!" Liu Hong, who was a little fat, waved his hands, and said to the concubines on the left and right with a smile: "I don't know what good things to bring to Gu with this one?"

Soon, Zhang Rang came to the emperor, knelt down on the ground, and said respectfully: "Slave..."

He was interrupted by Liu Hong before he finished speaking: "No need to be too polite! What good things did you bring to Gu?"

"Your Majesty, this is a big bronze mirror." Zhang Rang said with a smile, and his subordinates immediately put the huge mirror on the ground.

"Bronze mirror? What good is this thing?" Liu Hong dismissed it a little.

"Your Majesty will know it at a glance!" Zhang Rang said quickly.

When Liu Hong approached, he directly pulled off the silk cover and saw the mirror inside. He couldn't help being surprised and said, "How can it be so clear?"

No matter how well an ordinary bronze mirror is polished, it is still a bronze mirror after all, and cannot be compared with a mirror.

"Report to Your Majesty, this is a treasure presented by Zhang Jiao of Taiping Road in Youzhou!" Zhang Rang said quickly.

"It really is him, Gu knows him, and often sends good things to Gu!" Liu Hong nodded.

"This time the mirror is called Guang Jian Mirror. It is made of copper, transparent gems, and countless gems. It is the only treasure in the world, and there is nothing else!" Zhang Rang said quickly.

"Indeed, this is the first time even Gu sees such a rare mirror!" Liu Hong was overjoyed: "Wouldn't it be possible for Gu to see more if he put this thing in front of the beauty? This thing is really good!"

Zhang Rang: "..."

"What else? If you don't have one, just leave!" Liu Hong eagerly wanted to experiment with this mirror.

Zhang Rang said: "Nowadays, the village of Youzhou has been completely occupied by Taiping Road."

"What? This corner is going to rebel?" Liu Hong was startled.

"No, Zhang Jiao is a Taoist priest. He is an outsider. He has no interest in power. He occupies the countryside and fields just so that the court can receive more taxes!" Zhang Rang said quickly.

"What do you mean?" Liu Hong didn't believe it.

"This is the account book of money and food in various parts of Youzhou, land and households." Zhang Rang took out the account books and handed them to the emperor.

Liu Hong took it, turned it over slightly, and felt that his head was as big as a bucket, so he quickly closed it and asked, "What does this mean?"

Zhang Rang said seriously: "Your Majesty, the gentry and rich families in Youzhou took advantage of the natural disaster to annex the land, concealed the farmers, and colluded with each other based on their relationships. This time, the Taiping Road checked the villages and found a total of 600 million mu of hidden land! Hidden farmers 190 million people, these are poll taxes that cannot be collected!"

Even Liu Hong, who rarely cared about state affairs, widened his eyes when he heard this number, and said in disbelief, "There is such a huge number? How is this possible?!"

Zhang Rang said seriously: "This matter is absolutely true. The slaves dare not speak nonsense. They all have account books to check. From now on, Youzhou will probably become the state that has handed in the most money and food in the world."

"In addition, Youzhou handed over 150 million shi grains and 980 million money this time!"

"This is just to seize the money and food of those gentry and wealthy families, not this year's tax!"

Liu Hong was directly shocked by this number. He was silent for a long time, clapped his hands and praised: "Good! Good!! This horn is really the most loyal minister in the world. Reward him! He must be rewarded!"

"How to reward?" Zhang Rang asked quickly.

"Give him a Marquis, and make him Youhou!" Liu Hong waved his hand.

As for the late blood book, it was torn to pieces by Liu Hong: "These treacherous officials and thieves! What are they thinking, Danggu doesn't know?"

Soon, when these two news spread to Youzhou in a hurry.

All the county magistrates in Youzhou were dumbfounded, and each of them shouted in pain: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty does not know people! How can such rebellious officials and thieves be named Youhou?"

"Your Majesty, I want to meet Your Majesty!"

"This is definitely being deceived by traitors!"

"Why did Your Majesty rebel?"
