Call of Heroes: A History Only I Know

Chapter 26
【Emperor Liu Hong was very dissatisfied when he heard this. Just as he was about to explode, another person stepped forward, and it was Situ Yangci. 】

[Yang Cidao: Your Majesty Qi Zuo, I have also heard that after the Taiping Road rebels occupied the countryside of Youzhou, they used heavy taxes to squeeze the farmers and took [-]% of the grain tax. Thunder means to wipe out all of them! 】

[Then another person stepped forward, this one was even more heavyweight, Liu Kuan, the fifteenth grandson of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and the son of Situ Liuqi, who was appointed as Taiwei and ranked first among the three lords. 】

[Liu Kuan stepped forward and said: Your Majesty, I have also heard that the thieves set up punishments privately and tried the well-known squires. These are innocent people, but they died tragically at their hands. appeal.The minister is willing to lead the army to wipe out all these evil spirits! 】

[Afterwards, several people stepped forward to play. 】

[When these people finished speaking, all the ministers in the court knelt down and shouted in unison: Your Majesty, please punish this thief! 】

[All the officials in the court know that this horn has colluded with the eunuch and offered many benefits. It is definitely not easy to deal with when you get the title of Youhou. Kill this country thief! 】

[In the face of the joint pressure of all officials, even the emperor has to give in. 】

[Liu Hong's face is ugly, he hasn't spoken yet, these officials are going to force him to make a decision! 】

【Liu Hong raised his head and glanced at the eunuch Wang Fu, who immediately released a dog. 】

[This is a hound, which has been carefully dressed up, wearing a royal crown, court clothes, and ribbons, and swayed to the court. 】

[Liu Hong saw this, clapped his palms and laughed: Dog officer, what a dog officer! 】

【All the ministers raised their heads subconsciously after hearing this, and they all showed astonishment when they saw this dog. 】

【The hound recognized its owner, and when it saw Liu Hong, it ran over, wagging its tail and barking. 】

[Liu Hong said angrily: You dog officer, what are you barking like a dog! 】

[The hound falls to the ground, lying beside Liu Hong. 】

[Manchu civil and military officials, after being humiliated like this, all felt deeply ashamed, but dared not speak out. 】

[Liu Hong patted the hound's head and said loudly: What a Taipingdao rebellion, aren't you talking to Gu?Do you want to force Gu to make a decision? 】

[All the ministers dare not speak. 】

[Liu Hong is furious: dare not?I can only see that you dare to do anything!This Taiping Road is a loyal and virtuous minister. It has found out 600 million acres of hidden land and 190 million hidden households. This figure is shocking. It also pays 150 million shi and 980 million yuan in money and grain. In the future, Youzhou will pay taxes normally, and it will be the first in taxation. state!Such people who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, are you actually considered rebellious? 】

[All the ministers were shocked when they heard the words, and they couldn't believe it. This Taipingdao is clearly a rebel thief, but they are paying taxes normally?There are thousands of anti-thieves in the world, but this is the first time that an anti-thief who pays taxes to the court appears! 】

[Liu Hong also said: I also know that the tax burden of the imperial court is very low. The tax is one for fifteen, or even one for thirty. Look alone as a child.If this is the case, then why do farmers in Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Bingzhou all yearn for Youzhou, even if they leave their hometowns, they still want to go there?Is it yearning for heavy taxes? 】

[Situ Yangci's complexion changed drastically, and he quickly fell to his knees: Your Majesty, forgive me! 】

[Liu Hong laughs: Gu has decided to order the Taiping Road to investigate the hidden fields and farmers across the country!Let them all pay taxes normally!What do you think? 】

[As soon as this statement came out, all the ministers in the court kowtowed to oppose it, and a few people even wanted to persuade them with death: Your Majesty, this is an act of subjugation!You must not touch the foundation of the common people's society for the sake of petty gains, absolutely not! 】

[Liu Hong then said: Then everyone take a step back, Gu take back this life, and you don't touch the lonely Youhou. 】

[All the officials in the court looked at each other in blank dismay, all speechless. 】

【Liu Hong laughs, this is the first time he has defeated this group of courtiers, he just feels very happy, even happier than playing with dozens of concubines. 】

[Liu Hongdao: If there is no objection, then retreat from the court! 】

……

When Su Che learned what happened in the court, he couldn't help being amused by the stupid emperor.

What a great way!

What a dog officer!
Scolded happily!

It was wonderful.

Liu Hong is Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty.

In Zhuge Liang’s article on the list of teachers, there is such a sentence: If you are close to virtuous officials and far away from villains, this is why the Han Dynasty prospered;When the first emperor was there, whenever he discussed this matter with his ministers, he sighed and hated Yu Huan and Ling Ye.

The posthumous title of Lingdi means nonsense and nonsense.

This is the evaluation of him by civil servants after his death.

But the affairs of this world have never been decided by the emperor alone.

Power seems to be from top to bottom, and it seems that the higher the person stands, the higher the weight.

But in fact it is completely the opposite. Power is bottom-up, and only those who control the people below have enough right to speak.

This is the case with Liu Hong. Although he is the emperor of the Han Dynasty and looks noble, it is difficult for him to get out of Luoyang.

He wants to work hard?Then you can only die.

In Su Che's parallel world, this Liu Hong enjoyed himself until he was 32 years old, and he also realized that he couldn't continue to be absurd.

He cast four "Zhongxing Swords" and held a huge military parade, preparing to work hard to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, return the world to peace, and restore the stability of Liu's rule.

Then when he was 33 years old, Liu Hong suddenly died of illness in the palace.

This is the harsh reality.

After obtaining the title of "Youhou", Su Che started to join forces with Liu Yu and extended his hand to those county towns. In the county towns, he was not satisfied with the countryside, and began to gradually invade, and soon took control of the entire territory of Youzhou.

And after those officials struggled twice to no avail, when Su Che threw out some petty favors, they surrendered spinelessly.

When the officials have surrendered, the aristocratic families, landlords and gentry are nothing.

In the trials that should be judged, those who should be killed will be killed. Su Che has no mercy at all. Besides, he will never commit any crimes to ordinary people. This has also won the welcome of the people in all counties of Youzhou.

These low-level people don't think Taipingdao is rebellious, but regard them as court orthodoxy!
Under the rule of Taipingdao, Youzhou is thriving, and Su Che has also fulfilled his promise, paying the full amount of taxes to the imperial court, becoming the state that pays the most taxes in the whole world!
Undoubtedly, this further slapped those scholars in the face.

After carefully understanding the actions of Taipingdao, many scholars have some doubts about life, and their three views will be shattered. Who is the traitor?Who is the national thief?Who is a loyal and virtuous minister?
Has the rebellion been so rampant these days?
