Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 16 Ambition
Gan Ning, who personally killed Li Da, was very happy. The grudge was settled today. His Ming Gong was decisive in killing, hoeing the strong and supporting the weak, and acted like a knight-errant. He commanded him to kill Li Da, which also made him feel relieved. .

He looked at Liu Hao, who was sitting on the ground with a blank look on his face, and complained in his heart: "You are as timid as a mouse." "It's better to meet someone than to meet him. Fortunately, he has heard in the past that this Liu Hao is like his father. He is courageous and courageous. When he meets him today, he is just an embroidered pillow. He doesn't know how much worse he is than his own Ming Gong."

During the mourning period, he was so drunk and had to watch singing and dancing. If he didn't give me anything, he would beat him to death because of his status as a prince. He was really not a son or a master.

Gan Ning rejoiced. Fortunately, his Minggong became a shepherd in Yizhou. If someone like Liu Hao became a shepherd in Yizhou, it would be better for him to return to Bajun. Even farming in Bajun would be better than being a county magistrate in Chengdu. .

Gan Ning used Li Da's clothes to wipe the blood on the sword. After wiping it clean, he held the sword and looked at it.

The blade of this sword is made of black iron Baipi, with a faint cold light. It chops off a head. There is no chip on the blade. The sword is engraved with the word "Qingjun". It is worthy of being a sword from Zhou Muli. It was really a rare sword. He put the sword into its sheath and held it with both hands levelly, and presented it to Liu Zhang.

"Xingba, if you like it, keep it." Liu Zhang saw Gan Ning's love for this sword.

"Thank you Ming Gong." Gan Ning did not hesitate, retracted his hands, and hung the sword on his waist.

It was time to establish new rules in the mansion. Liu Zhang looked at Caiwei, who was holding Aunt Wang, who was getting colder, and was still crying bitterly.

Pang Jing also arrived at this time. He had gone out to take care of things in the morning. Hearing the conflict between the two young masters, he rushed back immediately. Along the way, he also gained a general understanding of the matter.

Not only Pang Jing, but also all the minor officials in the mansion arrived. Outsiders would avoid such matters, but they needed to get involved because it was a matter in the mansion and related to their lives and fortunes.

"Your Majesty." Pang Jing first saluted Liu Zhang. He looked at the scene and probably guessed what happened.

"As the person in charge, Jing cannot correct his subordinates and allows young people to act recklessly, which resulted in the death of Aunt Wang. Jing is guilty and please punish him."

Liu Zhang shook his head and denied Pang Jing's apology: "Uncle Pang, it's not your fault. This is because the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Most of the rules in the house are so bad."

In the final analysis, this matter was caused by his good brother Liu Hao. Liu Hao, who was usually acting pretentious in the palace, learned that he had lost the opportunity to inherit Yizhou Mu. His true intentions were exposed and he did not dare to vent his anger on Liu Zhang. The slaves below were beaten or punished, and it was Li Da who was a sweet-talking man who fanned the flames around Liu Hao. The master and servant worked together in a conspiracy, which resulted in Aunt Wang's death today.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Zhang gave the final decision to the matter to the people who had arrived: "Li Da was fond of causing trouble and stirring up trouble, which led to the death of Aunt Wang. Now I have put him to death on the spot. Zhang San and Li Si, In order to be punished as accomplices, Uncle Pang, you will tie these two people up and send them to Dong Youzai, the commander of Chengdu, and let him deal with them."

"Also, Uncle Pang, let's bury Aunt Wang safely."

"No." Pang Jing gave the order.

Liu Zhang set a rule and announced to everyone: "From now on, all matters in the mansion, big and small, will be handled by this envoy. If the envoy is not in the mansion, it will be handled by Chief Pang. Especially matters of reward and punishment, all matters need to be handled by this envoy or the envoy." Director Pang approves."

"Promise." All the young officials in the mansion agreed in unison, not daring to disobey in the slightest.

They knew that things had changed in the state pastoral office.

Before leaving, Liu Zhang lowered his head and told Pang Jing: "Uncle Pang, send my brother to rest. Don't let him drink in the past few days. He has done so many ridiculous things. Please take some time to reflect behind closed doors."
-
With such an incident happening in the mansion, Liu Zhang no longer wanted to drink. Gan Ning and Gan Jiu also knew this and left on the pretext of packing their bags for Bajun. They would come back tomorrow to resign.

Liu Zhang, who was alone, came to the backyard pavilion again, looked at the calm surface of the pool, and sighed heavily. The barrier in his heart had not dissipated.

Aunt Wang's death was of no use to Li Da. The real culprit was his brother Liu Mao, but he couldn't let Gan Ning chop Liu Mao into pieces. The crime of killing his brother was too high.

What's more, now Liu Zhang is Liu Mao's only brother. Although he has no affection for Liu Mao after time travel, there are some things that he cannot do. Even if he does, he must leave no trace so that outsiders cannot detect it.

"Sooner or later." Liu Zhang made up his mind.

Looking back on the time he traveled back in time, there were certainly happy moments, such as drinking and chatting with the ancient general Gan Ning, talking about worldly affairs with the ancient celebrity Dong He, and admiring the wonderful halberd dance of the Han Dynasty.But there are also unsatisfactory aspects, such as what is happening today. As a modern person, there is no concept of king, king, minister, father, father and son, nor does he understand the boundaries between superior and inferior, punish others arbitrarily, and do not punish unjust killings. It was even more difficult for others to accept this kind of thing. Aunt Wang's death made him unable to let go for a long time.

Liu Zhang also knew that this was the case in the feudal era, and every era had its mark.In the eyes of superiors, the status of slaves is just like that of cats and dogs. They can be killed at will without any guilt.

Since the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty has successively issued edicts: "Those who kill slaves shall not be reduced from punishment; those who burn slaves shall be punished according to law, and those who are not burned shall be treated as common people; the law of slaves shooting and wounding people shall be abolished." '

But in the end, it had little effect. The founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty relied on the powerful families. The status of the powerful families was deeply rooted. In addition, most of the people who sat on the throne of the Eastern Han Dynasty were children. There was no majesty and power to restrict the powerful families. This led to the development of powerful families. Acting wantonly, the treatment of poor families and slaves is getting lower and lower day by day.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhang couldn't help but smile bitterly. The current situation of the Han family and the slaves may be called the worst time in the past 200 years, but in the future, their current situation will be the best time in the next 200 years.

Looking to the future, it is the Three Kingdoms, the Two Jins, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

The poor family and the slaves are in the north. They are the two-legged sheep in the mouth of the foreigners, the fish and meat that are taken from everyone, and the begging army struggling in the mountains of corpses and sea of ​​blood, under the iron hooves of the foreigners.

In the south, things are not much better. There are no poor families in the upper class and no noble families in the lower class.The noble will always be noble, the humble will always be humble, and the humble family and slaves will not be able to breathe or get ahead for more than two hundred years.

But the nobles have such superior conditions in the south. They all wear loose clothes and big hats, apply makeup and powder, ride in cars when going out, and be supported when entering.All of them were weak and panting heavily when walking.

Wang Fu, the magistrate of Jiankang County in Nanliang, shivered with fear after seeing the horse's neighing, and said: "This is not a horse, it is clearly a tiger."

This group of people has been suppressing the general public in the South for more than two hundred years.

Liu Zhang knew that the rise of noble families and the decline of imperial power were the general trends in the future. The most glorious time for the nobles was when the king and the horse shared the world.

But are the nobles worthy of all this?

These nobles couldn't carry it on their shoulders, couldn't lift it with their hands, and couldn't even get on their horses. They could only play tricks and tricks in the middle.After defeating the Western Jin Dynasty, they patted their butts and crossed the river to Jiangdong, leaving the Central Plains to the foreigners.

'Sijue's ancestor, exposed to the frost and dew, chopped off thorns to obtain a sizeable land. His descendants did not cherish it and gave it to others, just like discarding grass and mustard. 'Liu Zhang remembered Su Xun's words on the Six Kingdoms.

Starting from the Western Zhou Dynasty, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Han people conquered the Central Plains through generations of heroes, exposed to frost, cut down thorns, and wiped out the barbarians. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu from the north, pacified Lingnan from the south, expanded the Western Regions from the west, and expanded Liaodong from the east. He paid an unknown amount of money. With the blood of generations, these nobles simply threw away the land they obtained. When they arrived in the south, they began to paint it over without any intention of making progress.

The nobles have the rights, but they don't want to pay the obligations. They just want to enjoy the happiness brought by the rights, but they don't want to pay a penny for the rights.

The world has been ruined by this group of nobles for more than two hundred years. For more than two hundred years, the sound that echoes throughout the Central Plains is the continuous wailing of living creatures.

'How can you give up the world to someone you despise? Liu Zhang questioned himself. His mentality had changed. He was no longer seeking stability, but had a plan, wanting to do something and change the world.

At this moment, his eyes seemed to have drifted past Daba Mountain, across the Qinling Mountains, across the Yellow River, all the way north along the Taihang Mountains, then crossed the Yanshan Mountains, turned around and set foot on the Central Plains, crossed the Huaihe River, the Yangtze River, and went upstream along the Yangtze River. Passing Xiangyang and heading north, we arrived at Luoyang, the ancient capital of thousands of years.

'This great river and mountain should not be lost at the hands of the nobles and fallen under the iron hoof of the Wuhu. '
