Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 106
"Report to my lord! The aristocratic family has become more and more rampant recently! It has obstructed local government affairs many times! This is a report from local officials! Please read it over, my lord!" Inside Tiance Mansion, Liu Bowen, Minister of the Council Office, handed a bamboo slip to Li Song, and Xu Chu Give it to Li Song.

"My lord! The aristocratic family is growing day by day, and they often control local government affairs. If they commit crimes, they will pay people to replace them! As a result, many government orders cannot be passed on normally." Xu Mao, the official censor, said fairly.

"Moreover, the aristocratic clan annexed a large amount of land, causing many common people to have no food to eat, and they had no choice but to embark on the road of becoming bandits."

"The famous families are still colluding with each other in private. On the surface, they obey our government orders, but in private, they often obstruct the passage of local government affairs."

Everyone counted down the disadvantages brought about by the growth of the family, and all the people in the council hall of Tiance Mansion were Li Song's cronies.

"Berwin! You draft an edict! Move these clans to Luoyang. Isn't Luoyang and its surrounding areas empty? Just send them there."

"If anyone dares to disobey the emperor's edict! It is the crime of deceiving the emperor! The law will be executed on the spot! There is no need to ask for instructions! All the fields they vacated will be confiscated!" Li Song decided to use some force to suppress these aristocratic families!
People can migrate to other places, which can greatly weaken their strength and remove the threat of his regime from the aristocratic family. People can go, but the land cannot!

"Everyone has anything to discuss, just say it!" Li Song said.

"My lord! This year's food and grass has increased by 10,000+ hu compared to before, and taxes in Bingzhou, Yanzhou, Hanoi and other places have increased a lot compared to last year."

"The waterwheel experiment in Hanoi and East River was very successful! It has greatly increased the production of grain, and it can be used on a large scale in our various jurisdictions."

Every matter is discussed and implemented in this council hall, from the people's livelihood to military equipment, money, food, horses, and military resources are all very important matters, and there is no slack in the slightest.

"My lord! Sun Ce, the underlord of Jiangdong who is attached to Yuan Shu, raised his troops from Danyang this autumn, crossed Zhejiang to the east, and attacked Kuaiji County. The prefect Wang Lang was captured alive by him." Pei Yuanqing, who was in charge of intelligence, came out and said.

"This Sun Ce lives up to the title of "little overlord"! I heard that he has a general under his command named Tai Shici, whose name is Ziyi, and he has two halberds in one hand, which is very impressive." Li Song laughed.

"My lord's words are true! Sun Ce's bravery has few rivals, and his subordinates Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others are by no means mediocre, and they have recently recruited a fierce general like Tai Shici, which can be said to be like a tiger with wings! In the future, it is inevitable that they will not fight with us. For the enemy!" Zhang Liao said.

"Sun Ce acts casually and is not serious, but he is blindly confident in his bravery, not good at defense, and he doesn't even have a decent guard around him. He will die sooner or later!" Li Song remembered that in history, Sun Ce was assassinated by an assassin and wounded. face to death.

"Oh! By the way, my lord! At the end of September this year, Lu Bu sent troops to defeat Liu Bei! He captured Xiapi. Yesterday, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei came to Xuchang together." Pei Yuanqing continued.

"Has Lu Bu occupied the whole of Xuzhou?" Li Song asked, seeing Pei Yuanqing nod, and then asked, "Where are Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei now?"

"Now at the mansion of Dong Cheng, the chariot general, I heard from Dong Cheng's mansion that Dong Cheng will introduce Liu Bei to the emperor tomorrow, and he wants to let Liu Bei recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors in the early morning tomorrow!" Pei Yuanqing said.

In this way, his identity as Liu Bei's uncle was confirmed. This title of emperor's uncle played an indelible contribution to him conquering the world in the future and recruiting talents. It can be said that the biggest reason why Liu Bei was able to divide the world in the end was It's his identity as the emperor's uncle.

I don’t know how many people went there because of his status as the emperor’s uncle. When Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty rejuvenated the Han Dynasty, most people in the world still hoped that there would be another Sanxing Han Dynasty, so that the Han Dynasty could last for another few hundred years. , and Uncle Liu Bei is the best candidate.

After all, if the great Han country falls into the hands of Liu Bei, it will always be better than others. Who told him that Liu Bei is the descendant of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan?

Moreover, Liu Bei not only has the luck of an emperor, but also dreams of becoming an emperor. According to historical records, Liu Bei doesn't like reading very much, but likes dogs and horses, music and beautiful clothes. Liu Bei's house has a mulberry tree, which looks like it is dedicated to the emperor from a distance. Pointing to the tree, he said, "I will ride in such a Yubaogai car when I go out in the future!"

What does Yubaogai car mean?Yubao refers to the canopy decorated with toba couplets on the emperor's ceremonial guard, which means that in the future, he wants to ride in the emperor's car like an emperor.

Before Liu Bei captured Jingzhou, he had two sons, one was his adopted son named Liu Feng, and the other was his eldest son named Liu Chan!Together they are called "Feng Chan". In Feng Chan, it is a sacrifice to the sky, and Zen is a sacrifice to the earth. It is a large-scale ceremony for ancient emperors to sacrifice to the heaven and earth when they are in peace and prosperity or when the sky is auspicious.

Because the ancients believed that Mount Tai was the highest among the mountains and the first mountain in the world, so the emperors of the world should go to the highest Mount Tai to worship the Emperor of Heaven, so that they could be regarded as being ordered by the sky. Legend has it that Feng Chan existed in ancient times.

From the above signs, Liu Bei is thinking about one thing in his dreams, that is, to be the emperor. If he wants to become the emperor, he must replace Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

"My lord! My lord!" Pei Yuanqing pulled Li Song back from his thoughts to reality, "My lord! What's wrong with you?"

"Okay! I'm fine! Let's end the discussion today! The rest will be discussed after the court tomorrow!" Li Song said, got up and left.

Looking at the figure of Li Song going away, he was a little confused. Li Song usually rises in the spring night and the short day. Since then, the king has not gone to court early, but now it is going to go to court early. Everyone looked at each other and had to leave.

The next morning, Dong Cheng invited Liu Bei to meet Liu Xie. Liu Xie looked at Liu Bei and asked, "Where is Aiqing from? Who is your ancestor?"

"Report to Your Majesty! My minister is the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan Liu Sheng, great-great-grandson of Emperor Han Jing, grandfather Liu Xiong, and late father Liu Hong." Liu Bei replied.

Liu Xie hurriedly ordered someone to fetch the family genealogy to check, looked up at the officials under Dan Chi and asked, "Where is Zong Zhengqing?"

"The minister is here!" A civil servant came out and knelt down in front of Dan Chi.

"Read out this genealogy in front of civil and military officials!" Liu Xie waved his hand, and Yang Wu immediately came to Zong Zhengqing with the family genealogy and handed it to Zong Zhengqing.

Zong Zhengqing took over the genealogy of the clan, got up hastily, and read it to all the officials. Li Song watched them perform this "recognition of relatives" drama with cold eyes.

"Emperor Xiaojing had fourteen sons, and the seventh son was Liu Sheng, Prince Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Zhen, Marquis of Lucheng Ting, Liu Ang, Marquis of Pei, Liu Lu, Marquis of Zhang, Liu Lian, Marquis of Yishui, Liu Ying, Marquis of Qinyang, Liu Jian, Marquis of Anguo, Liu Ai, Marquis of Jian. , Mourning for the birth of Glue Hou Liu Xian."

"Xian gave birth to Liu Shu, Marquis of Zuyi, Shu gave birth to Liu Yi, Marquis of Qiyang, Yi gave birth to Liu Bi, Marquis of Zeze, Bi gave birth to Liu Da, Marquis of Yingchuan, Liu Buyi, Marquis of Fengling Da, gave birth to Liu Hui, Marquis of Jichuan, and Liu Xiong, Marquis of Hui, Dongjun. , Xiongsheng Liu Hong, Hong is not an official, Liu Bei is the son of Liu Hong."

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty ranked the genealogy, only to find that Xuande was the uncle of his Liu Xie.Liu Xie was overjoyed, got up from the throne, lifted the hem of the dragon robe with both hands, and ran all the way to Liu Bei.

Holding Liu Bei's hand, he said, "According to the order of genealogy, I should respectfully call Aiqing the emperor's uncle! After I retire from the imperial court, please invite the emperor's uncle to stay and express my love for my uncle and nephew!"

"My minister obeys the order!" Liu Bei hurriedly pulled his hand from Liu Xie, took a step back, and bowed in salute.

The more Liu Xie looked at Liu Bei, the happier he was, thinking, Li Song is in charge!I am just a puppet, now I have Cao Cao internally and Liu Bei externally, regaining power is just around the corner!God help me!
Liu Xie seemed to see that with the help of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, he took back the power of the country from Li Song, and couldn't help laughing: "Uncle Emperor! I named you General Zuo, Marquis of Yicheng Tinghou."

Liu Bei hastily accepted his head and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
