The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

Chapter 482 Governing Yuzhou (2)

The change of dynasties and kings will inevitably bring about the problem of taking sides.

Not only money is gambled, but life is also gambled. If you win, everyone will be blessed; if you lose, the better ending will be marginalized, and the worse ending will be a happy elimination game.

The Huan family of Longkang is now facing a dead end. Unlike Liu Yu, Liu He has been kept in Guanghe County for many years and has lost the image of a weak scholar. In the north, only those with big fists have the final say, and people will resort to knives if they disagree. Liu Han is called Liu the Butcher. Liu He was led astray by Liu Han, and with the assistance of Tian Yu, Qian Zhao and others, he caused a bloody storm on the grassland.

The Xianbei were crippled by Liu Han, but not killed. Liu Han was busy putting the broken Han together and had no time to take care of the north, so the burden fell on Liu He and Cheng Yu. Together, the two showed their ruthlessness to the fullest. On the surface, the territory did not expand outward, but there were no Xianbei harassments 400 miles north of Yanmen Pass, and the Xianbei caravans entered here in an orderly manner.

Although the Han Dynasty did not send out large-scale troops in the past ten years, it controlled the lifeline of the Xianbei through trade. In the past, they had the ability to overturn the table, but now they can only be slaughtered.

Of course, there were ambitious people during this period who wanted to restore the former glory of the Xianbei, but they all failed. There were constant wars within the Xianbei, and more than a decade of instigation made the hatred between the tribes much deeper than their hatred for the Han people.

The Han people sent troops to the northern desert because some tribes liked to do no-cost business and rob Han merchant caravans. As the trade between the two sides became more and more frequent, although Liu He was a county governor, he was no worse than a provincial governor. Except for the bad climate where he lived, his treatment and conditions were really good.

Many times, when there were short-sighted people bullying the Han people, he usually didn't need to take any action, as the Xianbei people would take care of them. The Celestial Empire was no exception.

Now, Liu He arrived in Pei State. The first thing he did was to deal with the Longkang Huan family. In order to save themselves, the Huan family spent all their family wealth and wrote a letter to Cai Yong and Liu Yu, asking them to come forward and give them a way out.

Huan Bin, courtesy name Yanlin, was as famous as Cai Yong when he was young. For the sake of his family, he personally went north to the gate of Cai Yong's mansion and asked to see Cai Yong.

"Hey, Brother Yanlin, why are you doing this?"

Cai Yong was advised by Cai Yan to concentrate on teaching and educating people, stay out of the court, and not participate in or discuss politics. The Yuan family has brought disaster upon themselves, so Cai Yong would not have any objection no matter what Liu Han did.

Huan Bin stood outside the door for a whole day, but Cai Yong did not see him, so he had to return empty-handed. The next day, he went to find Liu Yu, hoping that he would come forward to intercede for the king and give Huan a chance to live.

Compared with history, Liu Yu's influence in the Han Dynasty is even greater today. Seeing Huan Bin's haggardness, Liu Yu couldn't bear it. He knew that doing so would make the king unhappy, but he still wrote a letter to his son and asked someone to pass the memorial to Liu Han.

"Brother Yanlin, I can only help you up to this point. The rest is up to fate."

"Thank you." How could Huan Bin not know that the hope was slim, but he still had to try his best.

"Heh...let him in."

Jiujiang has a lot of complicated things going on, so Liu Han couldn't be at ease. He stayed for a while longer, "He really knows how to find people."

To be honest, Huan Bin once again touched Liu Han's bottom line. He hated the collusion and formation of cliques among the gentry the most, and Huan Bin showed it to Liu Han openly.

"I think it would be more worrying if Envoy Liu did not do so."

"Wenhe, please speak well of him."

Jia Xu didn't have many friends. Cheng Yu was one of them. The two of them were like-minded and in cahoots with each other. Liu Yu was half a friend, but he was too gentlemanly and Jia Xu couldn't get along with him. But it was precisely because he was too gentlemanly that he became friends with Jia Xu.

"Your Majesty..." Huan Bin was very smart. After leaving Liu Yu, he did not choose to go back and wait for death. Instead, he came to Shouchun to meet Liu Han.

"Get up, it's time to bow to me. I can't accept your bow."

"Your Majesty...your servant..." Huan Bin knelt on the ground in even greater fear, not daring to get up.

"I asked you to stand up. Do you want to disobey my order?" "I dare not." Huan Bin's forehead was covered with sweat. The oppressive feeling Liu Han gave him was too strong, but the burden of the family was on his shoulders and he could not give up.

"Do you regret it?"

"I...will die!" How could Huan Bin not regret it? He regretted it so much that his intestines turned green, but it was useless!
"Whether you want to die or not is your business. What if you tell me before you die?"

"minister……"

How to do?
Huan Bin didn't know what to do. Logically speaking, his family had committed a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the family, which was unforgivable.

It was Liu Han who spoke first. "Enough people have died since the Yuan family proclaimed themselves emperor. I will give you a chance for my brother's sake."

Huan Bin's eyes welled up with tears when he heard Liu Han's words. A man in his fifties had suffered so much, and he said with a sense of relief, "Your Majesty, I bow to thank God for His grace!"

The Huan family of Longkang survived, and the Huan families of Zhi County and Xiang County also escaped the disaster. The Huan family even spent all their wealth to contribute to the construction of the Han Dynasty.

For hundreds of years afterwards, the Longkang Huan family worked diligently to contribute to the dynasty.

The Ji family of Zhi County was well-known in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. They migrated south during the Yongjia period. Their ancestors were surnamed Xi and were from Shangyu, Kuaiji. They moved there to avoid resentment. There was a Ji Mountain in Zhi County, and they built their home next to it, hence the name Ji.

Ji Zhao served as the Imperial Censor of the Wei State.

Zhaozi Ji Xi was the governor of Yangzhou and the chief of the imperial clan of the Wei State.

Xizi Ji Fan, also known by his courtesy name Maoqi, was a prose writer and Prince's attendant in the Western Jin Dynasty.

Zhaozi Ji Kang was a thinker, musician and writer of the Wei State. He was granted the title of Zhongsan Dafu. Ji Kang's wife was granted the title of Changle Pavilion Master. She was the granddaughter of Pei Wang Cao Lin and the great-granddaughter of Cao Cao.

The Ji family also survived this time, as did the Chen family of Xu County and the Liu family of Zhuqiu.

The Zhu family of Xiao County has been a family of 2,000 stones for generations.

The Liu family of Xiao County has three dukes in the second generation. Liu Ju, courtesy name Shufang, was recommended by the Grand Commandant Hu Guang as a virtuous and upright person, and was promoted to the position of Shangshu Ling for the fourth time. In the fourth year of Yanxi, he replaced Huang Qiong as the Grand Commandant. Qiong was again the Minister of Works, and Ju, Qiong and the Minister of the Interior Zhong Hao worked together to assist in the administration, and was known as a virtuous minister. In the early years of Emperor Ling, he replaced Zhou Jing as the Grand Commandant.

It was also because of Liu Ju's legacy that Liu Han did not take harsh measures against the Liu family of Xiao County. Sometimes, dead people are really more useful than living people.

The Zhang family of Xiang County is the descendant of Zhang Liang. Another branch is in Jiangdong, namely the Zhang family of Wu County.

Liu Han had no ill feelings towards Zhang, and Zhang also actively cooperated with the new policy, so the Zhang family was able to continue.

The Shansang Wen family, a family of two thousand stones. Liu Han recognized that this family would produce a very ruthless person in the future, who would kill seven people in a true sense - Wen Yang (Wen Chu), whose courtesy name was Ciqian and nickname was Ayang, and was known as Wen Yang in the world.)
The head of the family, Wen Ji, had just given birth to Wen Qin. Liu Han didn't want to disturb her, but he still paid some attention to her.

After all, Pei State was the place where Emperor Gaozu started his rebellion. Liu Han did not launch a large-scale war against it, but the power of the internal gentry and clan members was greatly reduced. Liu He was in charge of the areas outside the Great Wall and had no experience in governing within the Great Wall, so Liu Han had a lot of thoughts to think about.

"The world of the Han Dynasty still belongs to the young people." What Liu Han has to do now is to clean up the Han Dynasty as much as possible to give young people more room to display their talents. He can bear the consequences of the old forces and the things that offend people.
