Chapter 61

Three years later

Yuan Shuo three years
In the past three years, the situation in the world has been unpredictable.

First, the Xiongnu invaded the Han land again, and Han Anguo, who was guarding the border, was beaten and retreated steadily. The emperor Liu Che had no choice but to use Li Guang, who had been demoted to a commoner, to guard the Youbeiping area, and ordered Li Xi to send troops from Daijun Contain part of the Huns' troops.

At the same time, Wei Qing was appointed as the general of chariots and cavalry again, and used roundabout tactics to attack Henan and the Hetao Plain, and expelled the Xiongnu Aries King and Loufan King who were entrenched in Henan and the Hetao Plain.

After that, Emperor Wu built Wuyuan County and Shuofang County in Hetao Plain and Henan, and promoted Wei Qing to be Marquis of Changping.

Although they are all Marquises, Wei Qing's Marquis is attached to the fiefdom and food town, and has real power. In essence, he is already a vassal of the emperor with low autonomy, while the Marquis of Wang Changzhi and others belong to the honorary Marquis. There is no corresponding fief and food town.

With successive victories in foreign wars, Emperor Liu Che's power became more and more stable. In the face of Wei Qing's glorious record, the Peaceful faction did not dare to continue to stop the emperor from going to war.

At the same time, Shan Yu, a military official of the Xiongnu, died after being severely injured by Wei Qing. Yi Zhixie usurped the position of Shan Yu, relying on Wei Qing's brilliant record, and the Xiongnu had just ended their civil strife and were eager to stabilize the internal political situation. Emperor Liu Che could finally concentrate The power is confident and bold to attack the powerful gentry and princes in the country.

For example, adopting the Tweeting Order of Zhu Fuyan and issuing the Order of Removing Maoling.

The Tweeting Order is aimed at the princes, and the Moving Maoling Order is aimed at the powerful nobles.

For example, this year, King Qi gave birth to a child with his own sister. After the incident was reported, Liu Che deprived King Qi of his throne on this charge, and evenly distributed King Qi's Qi State to his sons, making Qi State rare. broken.

Thinking back to the past three years, Old Master Xu was so worried that he couldn't help but sigh: "God is going to kill my family, Xu Township."

Not long ago, the imperial court believed that the Xu family's property should exceed 300 million yuan, and asked the Xu family to move to Chang'an to guard the mausoleum of the first emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Old Master Xu refused to move to Chang'an on the pretext that the Xu family was poor and did not have 300 million yuan at all.

However, a tenant farmer of the Xu family was whipped by the Xu family all the year round, so he ran to the Xuxiang county government in a rage to report that the Xu family had tens of thousands of mu of fertile land, and the family assets had already exceeded 500 million yuan.

The magistrate of the county government and others had long colluded with the Xu family and beat the tenant farmer to death.

I thought everything would end like this, but who knew that the tenant farmer's brother secretly went to Donglai County to continue to report that the Xu family's property might be as high as 500 million yuan.

It doesn't matter that Xu's family is in Donglai County Mansion, the county guard has repeatedly ordered Xu's family to move to Chang'an immediately to guard the mausoleum of the late emperor.

Old Master Xu feels that the law does not blame the public, and there are many tycoons with more than 300 million yuan. There must be few who are willing to go to Chang'an to guard the mausoleum. This policy will definitely be the same as that of Emperor Wenjing in the end. Those who are willing to give money to the court There is no need to relocate, and those who are not willing to spend money will be forced to relocate.

However, after Mr. Xu stuffed more than 100 yi gold into the Donglai County Mansion, the Donglai County Mansion still ordered the Xu family to move to Chang'an immediately.

Old Master Xu still didn't give up, and was going to pretend that he hadn't received the order from the court, to see if the other tyrants would move, and to wait and see what happened.

However, after waiting for more than a month without seeing the Xu family moving to Chang'an, the imperial court actually sent [-] soldiers from counties and counties to attack the Xu family. .

At the same time, the magistrate of Xuxiang County, who was in collusion with the Xu family, was beheaded by the emperor Liu Che himself for public display!

In this way, Mr. Xu was charged with treason, and two thousand county and county soldiers surrounded Xu's manor.

It wasn't until now that Old Master Xu understood.

This big man has really changed!Really changed! ! !

"Haha! The emperor of the Han Dynasty actually sent troops to slaughter his own subjects. What is the difference between Jie and Zhou?!" On the city wall of the manor, old master Xu, who was nearly seventy years old, was wearing the heavy armor hidden by the Xu family, and was commanding the soldiers. Resistance officers and soldiers.

Although he knew it was impossible to win, but he had already been accused of treason, and his entire clan was about to be exterminated, and it was irreparable, so he could only fight desperately when he was dying.

shhhhhh!
Whoosh!
"what--"

Hundreds of arrows hit the city wall of the manor, and more than a dozen Xu family soldiers died on the spot.

"The Xu family in Xu Township intends to rebel, and the whole family will be exterminated!"

"kill!"

The generals of the Han army outside the manor commanded the county soldiers to attack Xu's manor.

Thousands of Han troops rushed to the Xu Family Manor, and more than 100 Xu Family soldiers were far inferior to the Han Army in terms of numbers, momentum, weapons and equipment, and righteousness. The moment they saw the Han Army rushing, In an instant, his legs became weak from fright, and no one dared to resist the big Han Tianbing.

No big man would dare to offend the combined strength of the tyrants, but a single tyrant is so vulnerable in front of the court.

"The Xu family! It's over!"

At this moment, whether it is the old master Xu, the children of the Xu family, or other tyrants in Xu Township, or even Wang Laojiao who is drinking tea and leaving the Xu family manor, they all understand that the man who owns [-] mu of fertile land and has thousands of tenants The Xu family is completely over.

"Emperor Liu Che is trying to scare the chickens to scare the monkeys! By killing some rebellious tyrants, he warns other tyrants and powerful clans that the court will cut leeks obediently, and if they dare to obey others, that will be the end of the entire clan's extermination."

"kill!"

The Xu Family Manor was breached by the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court in an instant.

Da da da--

The cavalry of the Han army rushed into the manor and killed wantonly. The Xu family and servants of the Xu family in the manor were being slaughtered crazily.

"no--"

"I am a good citizen, I am loyal to the big man, don't kill me! Ah—"

"Dog Emperor, you must die!!!"

"Liu Che! I curse you!"

"My son of the Xu family, even if you are a ghost, you will not let your royal family surnamed Liu go! Ah!!!"

"Ugh!—"

Facing death, the children of the Xu family can no longer maintain the character of scholars as before, and can no longer pretend to respect the court and the emperor as before. , Anyway, they are all dead, at least have a mouth addiction before they die.

The maids, daughters-in-law, daughters-granddaughters, wives and concubines of the Xu family will all be arrested and demoted to official prostitutes, sent to women's homes, and use their bodies to make money for the Han court.

"God! Why is this happening, why!!!"

Seeing the manor being breached, the old master Xu in heavy armor knelt on the ground and shouted. On weekdays, he taught the students to be loyal to the court and the great man, and to study the classics left by the saints.

But today, he has no choice but to put on his battle armor to fight against the imperial court.

It turned out that the so-called loyalty to the court and the so-called sage's words were not worth the wealth of the manor's fields. In order to keep the manor, the family business of several generations or even a dozen generations was preserved.

What is a saint?What is benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith?What is the imperial court?
Before reaching this moment, Old Master Xu himself did not believe that he would actually fight against the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court.

"If the emperor hadn't forced the order to relocate Maoling, our Xu family would still be a loyal minister for the rest of our lives, and maybe a few loyal and patriotic Xu family children would go to the front to fight against the Huns..."

In misery and despair, Old Master Xu killed himself with a sword.

And Wang Laojiao, who was drinking tea in the manor before, rode a steed back to Xuxiang Harbor before the Han army began to surround the manor, and returned to the Wang family in Liaodong on the Wang family merchant ship.

She wants to report this big news to her cousin, who is the head of the Wang family, Wang Tairan.

"Emperor Liu Che, he is not joking, he is serious!"

"Like the beautiful generation during the period of the Second Emperor Wenjing, who could get through the customs by opening up the relationship with the officials of the county and county, it is gone forever!"

"The era when the powerful nobles could sit back and relax and enslave tenant farmers is coming to an end."

"Big man, the sky has really changed!!!"
