If this is the case, then Liu Zhang is really "self-inflicted and can't live", and if the assassination fails, he will be assassinated by others instead.
If the murderer was the Han court, then this assassination could actually be seen as a warning.If they can stab once, they can naturally stab countless times.Compared with fighting head-on, Xianfa obviously has an advantage in assassination.
When Liu Xun succeeded to the throne, he himself had a heart for the imperial court, but it was the Han court who assassinated his father.
He intends to resist for a while, after all out of filial piety it should be like this.However, the courtiers below suggested that they should simply surrender, right?Obviously also worried that the next target to be assassinated will become himself.
Surrender, at most, is to lose the official position, and you can take the imperial examination to re-enter the official position.If you are lucky, you can even directly participate in the assessment and continue to be an official.But if you continue to persevere, you will never be hired, and you can't say when you will be assassinated.
There are also people who stand on Liu Xun's side, such as Zhang Ren and Huang Quan, but they are only a minority. Liu Xun's father-in-law, Pang Xi, is actually a capitulator.Seeing this, Liu Xun, who had this idea himself, stopped insisting and surrendered decisively.
A few days later, the document of surrender was sent to Liu Tao's imperial case.
"Is Liu Xun so cowardly?" Liu Tao complained, for the attack this autumn, the big man had already made a lot of preparations, but the opponent had already surrendered before the fight started.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, you will subdue others without fighting!" Jian Yong said with a smile, regardless of whether he is cowardly or not, as long as the result is good.
If it is necessary to attack Yizhou, it is estimated that there will be a lot of non-combat attrition in terms of the terrain.It's useless to have spells. Falling from a mountain cliff, even with stone skin protection, cerebral hemorrhage is the first step.
Cavalry can't use it either, so they can only rely on infantry.But unfortunately, the big man started in Bingzhou, and he is best at cavalry.Most of the generals below are cavalry generals, and there are really few infantry generals.
Therefore, after discussion, the original attack on Yizhou would be led by Zhang Yun, and then Xu Huang, Zhang Yan and Cao Xing would be the deputy.
The result is good, the plan is planned, and the fight has not yet started, it's gone!
"That's right, the surrender is surrendered..." Liu Tao spread his hands, "Then make an order to let Zhang Xi go to pick up Yizhou. Instruct the Ministry of Officials to arrange official assessment and supplement Yizhou officials."
"The Ministry of Officials has been preparing, but it's half a year ahead of schedule." Jian Yong replied, of course he was not idle, and had already begun to prepare blank imperial edicts.
As Liu Tao's big secret, he is not talented enough, so he learned a bit later, but naturally he is not as good as those educated people who have been nurtured since childhood.So the matter of writing the imperial decree was naturally handed over to the second secretary.
It was none other than Chen Lin, a scribe under Yuan Shao's command. Speaking of which, this is also from the Guangling Chen family.
Needless to say, the words and sentences are beautifully written, and he is generally responsible for writing according to the imperial decree.Before him, Qian Fulai was in charge.
"Your Majesty, Yizhou has been pacified and the world is about to be unified. Is it necessary to offer sacrifices to the ancestors and comfort them?" Chen Lin had to ask when writing the imperial decree.
"It seems that this is indeed the case..." Liu Tao was taken aback when he heard the words, and after thinking about it, it really was the case.Yizhou, which was still resisting in the end, has now surrendered, and the thirteen states have all been unified, and it was completed unconsciously.
After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Then pass on my will and let the Ministry of Rites arrange it. Speaking of which, do you want to have a universal celebration... or not, otherwise Wen Ruo will probably come to me with a knife."
"Xun Shangshu? How dare he?" Chen Lin couldn't believe it, and asked subconsciously.
"He, of course he dares..." Liu Tao laughed, "He will put his arm around his neck and ask me if I insist on doing this."
It turned out that it was on her neck... Chen Lin was a little caught off guard.But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't make sense for a courtier to threaten the monarch with his own life, right?
In the end, I realized that Liu Tao was just joking.It's just that this kind of joke will only be played with the old man who started a family with him.On this point, Chen Lin was quite envious of Xun Yu, Jian Yong and others.
When Liu Tao started his family, he was just the son of a squire.The only valuable thing is that he is indeed the one listed in the genealogy after King Jing of Zhongshan.However, there are too many after King Jing of Zhongshan, and they are actually worthless.
Who would have thought that Liu Tao suddenly became a child of the Immortal Family, and with the help of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he started his fortune and gradually became the Son of Heaven.The most important thing is that in the situation of the separatist rule of the heroes, the Han Dynasty has been gradually recovered, and it has already dominated the world so far.
The disciples of the Xian family are really powerful, and they cannot accept it.
The news soon spread throughout Luoyang, and even across the country.All states, counties, and counties have received news that His Majesty the Great Han has officially recovered the Thirteen States of the Great Han and unified the world!
According to the custom, no matter what, the whole world should celebrate together.There will definitely be amnesty in the world, but I don’t know if there will be tax exemption.
Just waited a few days, and it seems like no word is coming out at all.Those civil and military officials of various forces, as well as soldiers, who were eagerly waiting for the amnesty to take part in the imperial examination, or no longer had to perform hard labor, began to feel strong malice.
It was not until the beginning of March that the imperial court officially issued a decree to thoroughly investigate the major unjust and false cases in Yizhou, and at the same time, Yizhou was exempted from tax for three years.
It is useless not to be exempted from taxes. The local government has received all the taxes for three years.That is to say, take over quickly, otherwise it will be possible in 30 years.It is not difficult to imagine that with the trial of the case, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of people.
The people were also dumbfounded, and it was someone else who celebrated the unification of the world with amnesty.When I arrived at His Majesty's place, I actually used human heads to celebrate...
Chapter 656 Don't waste everything when you're ready
It started with an incident reported by the secret guards in Yizhou.
At that time, when Liu Zhang was traveling, several beggars stopped him in the street to complain.Later, when the assassination started, they also took advantage of the chaos to leave.Thanks to them attracting Liu Zhang's attention, the dark guards were able to succeed.
Afterwards, I also found a few people, and after a little understanding of the situation, I found out that in the past few months, those wealthy families in Yizhou have robbed and robbed them.I don't know how many ordinary families have been ruined because of this.
It was also impossible for the hidden guards to believe what other people said casually, so they had to do some investigation. It took more than ten days to collect the matter and report it.After all, if Liu Xun surrendered, Yizhou would be considered recovered, and these things cannot be left alone.
Jin Yiwei received the news and sent it to Liu Tao immediately.Seeing this, the latter was also furious and demanded a thorough investigation.This is the first time I saw such an ugly family!
At the same time, considering that these aristocratic families have been tormented so much, Yizhou has been exempted from tax for three years, which is to let them reply.
This also includes the three-year taxes collected in advance by local officials.Fortunately, the population there is not too large. Even if there is no tax from Yizhou, the total income of other states is enough to run the court.
Since there was no amnesty, and there was no such thing as universal celebration, in the eyes of the world, Liu Tao used this method to celebrate the unification of the world.
"This is definitely not possible!" Xun Yue cried directly, "Your Majesty, if this happens, the people of the world will misunderstand the court!"
"Aren't you responsible for the propaganda work?" Liu Tao asked, "Or is there any difficulty in the propaganda work?"
"Of course not!" Xun Yue quickly denied it. Did Liu Tao ask about the propaganda work?of course not!What he asked was himself, did he plan to change jobs?Of course, promotion is impossible, at most, it will be flat, and it may even be demoted.
"Since there isn't one, why not?" Liu Tao laughed.
"It's just that for the common people, the actual tax cuts are more practical than the illusory slogans." Xun Yue quickly explained.
"Then it's true..." Hearing this, Liu Tao felt that there was some truth to it.A hundred good words are nothing compared to a piece of fat pork.People are used to being poor, so they hope to get more affordable things.
After a pause, he asked back: "In this way, the counties in the south of the Yangtze River will be exempted from tax for one year."
It was only recovered last year, and the people did not fully recognize the current Han court, so it is okay to give some preferential treatment.
"Are there no exemptions for other places?" Xun Yue was a little puzzled, "Otherwise, it's okay to amnesty the world..."
"In other places, we have done a lot of publicity and work. People's lives are getting better every day, and food and clothing are no longer a problem. We have invested so much in the early stage, and if we reduce taxes for another year, your cousin is afraid I want to have a good chat with you."
Thinking of that cousin who was like a housekeeper, Xun Yue could only keep her mouth shut.He may not complain to you, but when he looks at you, it feels like he owes him hundreds of millions.
The key is her own cousin, who can't see up and down, Xun Yue can only surrender obediently.
"As for the pardon... who is pardoned? The death row inmates from all states have been sent to Baiyun City for construction. Now that the new railway is about to be laid, and the waterways in the south of the Yangtze River may need to be further expanded. When manpower is needed everywhere, who do you think can be pardoned? "Liu Tao asked again.
So this time it was not Xun Yu, but Su Shuang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was looking for him desperately.
Thinking about it, it is really possible to do it, how could Liu Tao not do it.It's not that I don't want to, but I really can't do that!
"Why don't you do it this way!" Liu Tao weighed it up, "Prisoners serving hard labor will continue to do hard labor starting this year, but they will only enjoy half-pay from now on."
After all, it was labor reform, and the imperial court took care of most of the food, and every year there were two sets of spring and autumn clothing, and one winter coat, which was considered the utmost benevolence.After five years of service, he was freed, so Liu Tao didn't care if he wanted to join the army or return to the field.
