History live broadcast: Starting from selling the princess

Chapter 12 The Impact of Yellow Turbans and Yellow Nests
Eastern Han Dynasty, Guangwu period.

Not long after he ascended the throne, Emperor Guangwu, who was arguing with aristocratic families, complained to a group of aristocratic family heads: "You all have problems with your bloodline and your IQs. Do you want to go home and retire?"

"Stop meddling in governing the country."

"After all, the better the country is, the longer your family will last."

A group of nobles from aristocratic families stared at Emperor Guangwu with gloomy expressions.

Boy, can you speak? What does it mean that our IQs are all wrong?

Believe it or not, if you were not the founding emperor and had a bunch of loyal generals under you, we would kill you directly.

The bosses of the aristocratic families burst into incompetent rage.

But they must admit that they can't kill Liu Xiu now.

After ascending the throne, Liu Xiu had the support of the royal family surnamed Liu and the founding fathers, and was not afraid of them at all.

I am willing to sit down and talk because we have worked well together before.

Liu Xiu yawned and said lazily: "You have also seen the results caused by the Yellow Turban and Huang Chao. The whole family is dead. I believe this is not what you want to see."

What you said is nonsense.

The big guys from the aristocratic family rolled their eyes and made speechless complaints in their hearts.

"So our goals are the same. I don't want the Han Dynasty to perish, and you don't want your family to perish."

"That way we can talk together about how to run this country."

The boss of the family gave out a helpless smile in his heart.

This is going to force us to bleed.

Liu Xiu looked at their bitter eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm.

Then he quickly hid it again.

"Your Majesty, stop being so pretentious and tell me what you think."

An old man from aristocratic family said to Liu Xiu.

Seeing Liu Xiu's delay in speaking, he knew that this little bastard must despise them in his heart.

Liu Xiu smiled and said: "I recently looked through the history books and asked my subordinates to draw a map of the surrounding area."

As he spoke, Liu Xiu clapped his hands, and a eunuch immediately brought out an extremely scrawled map.

Liu Xiu pointed at the map and said, "I think the conflict between you and the people is mainly about land."

"The main way the imperial court exploited the people was through taxation."

"So I figured we could pass both of those things off."

The bosses of the aristocratic family looked at Liu Xiu in collective confusion.

what do you mean.

Liu Xiu pointed to the map, the grassland tribes and small countries around the Han Dynasty, and said with a smile: "You cancel the people's loans from you, and return your local land to the country. I will return these surrounding tribes, small countries Kill them all and help you rise to power."

"A tribe with tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and two or three cities in a small country should be enough to make up for your losses."

"When the time comes, I will bring the army to protect you. You are exploiting wildly abroad. Divide the four and six, and I and you will die. My six is ​​used to maintain national expenditures, and the four of you are yours."

"When the time comes, I will use foreign money to replenish the national finances and reduce taxes on the people. Everyone will be satisfied, there will be no friction, and the probability of peasant uprisings in the future will also be reduced."

"How about, do you want to bet on this future together?"

The family bosses admitted that at this moment, they were shocked by Liu Xiu's operation.

"But in this case, we have to conquer all the people around us, which requires unimaginable financial, material and military resources."

A young family member looked embarrassed.

Before Liu Xiu could speak, an old man from an aristocratic family sneered: "But I have to admit that if this road is open, the strength of our aristocratic family will expand, the power of the country will expand, and the pressure on the people will be relieved."

"Our family's lifespan will definitely be extended."

In the end, the aristocratic families decisively agreed to Liu Xiu's plan.

In their view, now that they have a wise king, famous generals and ministers, and the army is still an elite that has just experienced troubled times, it is a good time.

In order to stimulate the people, the family took the lead in choosing to let out a wave of blood.

Cancel half of people’s borrowings and let them support the country’s strategy.

He also promised that when each family's mission is completed, a batch of loans will be cancelled.

If a child of the borrowing family dies, they will also cancel.

Families of ordinary people who had borrowed money from wealthy families at high interest rates for twenty years rushed out with their own weapons.

Isn't it just a foreigner? Who is afraid of whom?

If you die, your family's loans will disappear. If you come back alive and make great achievements, a lot of your loans will be cancelled. Why not do that? How long will it take?

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

After the curtain was over, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, who was gradually failing in health, did not do anything to the family.

He began to do his best to increase the strength of the Liu clan.

Let them work on it.

Among the people, Liu Xuande murmured after watching the curtain: "I want to integrate into the common people."

There was a flash of madness in his eyes.

The big man is finished, then he will imitate Emperor Wu and rebuild the world.

The peasant uprising was severe, so he became the leader of the uprising army, and finally ascended the throne again.

The Three Kingdoms and the Kingdom of Shu have just entered Shu and stabilized.

Zhuge Liang had a terrifying thought in his mind after the curtain ended.

"It's difficult to defeat the Cao thieves with just two states."

“But what if we have the hearts and minds of the people in the world?”

Zhuge Liang immediately found Liu Bei, told him his thoughts, and summoned the wise men of Shu, such as Fazheng, Liu Ba, and Li Yan.

All the people of Shu were shocked when they heard Zhuge Liang's idea.

But then comes the excitement phase.

Liu Bei and other warriors were excited, and they also wanted to establish greater achievements.

Fazheng and others were excited. Which counselor wouldn't want to prove himself by subverting the world.

"If you want to win over the people, you need to give them real benefits."

"So, our goal now is how to give the people the greatest benefits and let them join us on their own."

Fa Zheng pointed out the crux of the problem.

The Kingdom of Shu fell into heated discussions.

The Three Kingdoms were the same period as the State of Wu.

Sun Quan and the Jiangdong family didn't care what Tianmu said.

No matter what happens in the future, they will always be divided.

The natural dangers of the Yangtze River protected their peace.

"Our goal is to get Jingzhou back and continue to enjoy it."

Sun Quan said happily to the courtiers attending the banquet.

Other things don't matter.

In any case, Wei could not be defeated, and the alliance signed with Shu was only to check and balance Wei.

The aristocratic families in Jiangdong came to Sun Quan's aid: "With the natural dangers of the Yangtze River in hand, who can do anything to us?"

The few smart people could only sigh helplessly.

Three Kingdoms, Wei State at the same time.

They were busy taking care of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was so angry that he fainted due to the hidden taunt in that joke, "Cao Cao is a rebellious minister and a traitor."

Tang Dynasty, Zhenguan.

Li Shimin was approached by an aristocratic family headed by Wu surname Qi Wang.

The Tang family is the most panicked right now. What they need to face is Huang Chao.

"Don't you look down on me and refuse to marry me? Why are you here to find me?"

Li Shimin made a strange taunt.

Erfeng said, I hold a grudge.

The aristocratic families smiled bitterly.

Under the gaze of others, the head of the Cui family could only bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, we are willing to cooperate with you in holding imperial examinations, running schools, fighting foreigners, stabilizing the world, and governing the country."

Li Shimin sneered and made a disdainful taunt: "You have intermarriage, your children are all the product of incest, and your IQs are not high enough. Why should I use you?"

The heads of the aristocratic families want to curse.

At this moment, they really wanted to strangle Li Shimin to death.

There is no one like you who can chat like this, so you can expose your shortcomings when you come up.

They conducted an internal investigation and found that they had indeed lost many top talents in recent years.

Like the Wang family in Taiyuan, it has been more than fifty years since a fierce man like Wang Meng or Wang Sengbian was born.

The Xie family has not produced a talent like Xie An for many years.

In the past they could have been referred to as fertility issues.

Now they had no doubt that miscegenation was the cause.

After all, he couldn't even figure out the kinship between their families.

Like Cui's eighty-year-old man, who needs to call Li's eight-year-old baby "Master".

Then the daughter of this eighty-year-old man married the uncle of this eight-year-old boy.

It's just messy.

The head of the Cui family stepped back and asked Wang Gui and Fang Xuanling to come forward.

Fang Xuanling and Wang Gui looked at Li Shimin pitifully.

"Your Majesty, please help us."

At this time, you can only play the emotional card.

Li Shimin spread his hands and said helplessly: "Now none of us can come up with a solution."

"It can only be said that the country's stability is an important prerequisite for people not to rebel."

"Besides, we also need to keep the people fed."

"Land distribution is also a problem."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin glanced at the head of the Cui family thoughtfully and said softly: "Do you think your family's private slaves will lead the way when Huang Chao invades your house?"

"After all, as long as you are dead, they are free."

The scalps of the heads of the aristocratic families instantly became numb.

Is hiding in a house also a scourge?
They put themselves in their shoes and thought about it. If they were private slaves who didn't have enough to eat, worked every day, and had no future, suddenly one day a man came and said, I will chop your master to death later, as long as you don't interfere.

So what would you choose?

The heads of the aristocratic families, who became more and more frightened as they thought about it, looked at Li Shimin in horror.

Is there really something wrong with our IQ?
Why did Li Shimin think of it but we didn't?

Fang Xuanling looked at the trance-like expression of the head of the Cui family, and then looked at Li Shimin with a foxy smile on his lips, and smiled helplessly.

Your Majesty is really evil.

The heads of the aristocratic families left in a daze, and Li Shimin smiled proudly.

"Save you? It's not impossible. Give me the hidden room first."

"You want my help without a gift, dream."

Thinking about his age, Li Shimin was very proud.

Tang Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong.

Li Zhi directly refused the family's visit.

I conveyed a sentence to the outside world, my merits are enough to make me famous for eternity. When the Tang Dynasty falls, I feel good that I can be buried with you.

Queen Wu Zetian smiled and said to Li Zhi: "Your Majesty is so evil."

Li Zhi sneered: "They want me to do things without giving me any good things. It's really shameful for them."

Tang Dynasty, Wu Zhou Dynasty.

Emperor Wu Zetian also chose a similar path to Li Zhi.

Don't expect us to help without a gift.

Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing.

The four dynasties, which no longer had large aristocratic families controlling the court, chose to respond to their own people.

They were also reminded by the Yellow Turban and Huangchao mentioned by Tianmu.

They are afraid too.

What's more, they can also see past history and know better what it was like.

Jiajing and Wanli sent a message to the court.

"Just do it. When the day comes when the palace is destroyed and the people revolt, all the wealth you have accumulated will be yours."

At the end of Ming Dynasty, it was the tenth year of Chongzhen.

The Donglin Party looked at the turmoil in the country, and then looked at Chongzhen, who was suspicious all day long, and really didn't know what to say.

"Otherwise, let's destroy His Majesty."

"Without him causing trouble, we can free up our energy to clean up the country."

"When the time comes, each of us will donate some money, stop paying taxes for two years, and kill off a few big businessmen, the country will be able to stabilize."

After a long silence, a young Donglin Party member whispered.

As the strongest political party in the original Ming Dynasty, it is really frustrating to be the weak party now.

The reason for all this was Chongzhen's suppression.

Their current party leader Qian Qianyi is about to be taken down.

If it were normal, they would naturally be willing to play with Chongzhen slowly.

Take the time.

But now that the sky was reminding them, they compared the last years of the Tang Dynasty in history, and then thought about Huang Chao, they suddenly realized that they could no longer play.

They will be revolutionized by the common people.

"Wait a minute, if His Majesty makes trouble again, then we will have no choice but to have a big job."

"First secretly bring in familiar generals."

It's just that the emperor was deposed, and it's not like there are no templates in history to copy.

A group of Donglin Party members immediately made up their minds.

"Also, we must top up the money of the border generals to prevent those barbarians from entering."

A member of the Donglin Party gave a proper reminder not to have their house stolen when they deposed the emperor.

"It's okay. Tell the generals that the money they robbed from the barbarians belongs to them. Just let them kill him."

Someone sneered unceremoniously.

In the past, Huang Taiji was allowed to take advantage of the loophole in order to bully Chongzhen.

Orders belonging to the Donglin Party members were passed out one after another without Chongzhen's knowledge.

Various time and space in the Qing Dynasty entered turmoil.

The opposition to the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty became more and more fierce, and the voices became louder and louder.

Some organizers use the canopy as a guiding halo.

Yongzheng period.

Yongzheng, who had been on the throne for three years, decided to change the pattern of the Qing Dynasty.
