Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 202, A feast for the gluttons. Your Majesty is so unfair to Liu Hong!

His men will step on the corpses of the aristocratic families and leap up to become the new aristocratic family.

This is an iron rule. No one will give up the benefits they have obtained.

As the saying goes, the boy who slays a dragon will eventually become a dragon.

Liu Hong once used his status as a prophet and the trend of the times to be invincible, but when he went against the times, he could not move forward.

Li Chengqian noticed something was wrong with Liu Hong and spoke in confusion.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. I have already appeased these noble families. Now it's your turn to win their hearts and minds."

Liu Hong withdrew his thoughts and his eyes gradually became firm.

It is too early to think about these things now. The idea of ​​civil rights for the poor has not yet been awakened, and the bourgeoisie has not yet been born.

What Liu Hong has to do now is to protect these two weak sprouts until they grow into towering trees that cannot be shaken.

After hearing Liu Hong's words, Li Chengqian smiled gratefully.

Now the aristocratic families in Kyoto are in a state of panic. As long as he is willing to lend a helping hand, these aristocratic families will stick closely to him.

No other reason! Because he is the crown prince, the heir to the throne of Qing, and also Liu Hong's student.

The bloodbath in Kyoto was very satisfying, and it took a week to divide the profits.

The generals involved in this case were all in high spirits, and they were expected to receive promotions and salary increases, and become wealthy families within reach.

It’s really worth it to accompany Liu Hong in this gamble!

At the same time, Emperor Qing, who was staying in the Hanging Temple, slowly set out to return to the capital.

He condoned Liu Hong's actions, and was especially furious after seeing the account books.

This money is enough for Emperor Qing to fight another war between the two countries and provide disaster relief to the flood victims in Jiangbei.

As a result, this group of people would rather watch the national treasury become empty than spend even a little money to provide relief to the national treasury and the victims.

"It's not my fault that things have come to this point. It's because these big families are too greedy."

Emperor Qing's eyes were cold.

He felt more and more that it was a correct decision to use Liu Hong as this knife.

If Fan Xian were to come, he would probably just search a few families and leave it at that. How could he possibly cause almost all the big families in Kyoto to undergo a complete blood transfusion?

Emperor Qing's carriage gradually approached Kyoto. The remaining officials in Kyoto, led by Liu Hong, went thirty miles outside the city to welcome him.

Even the princes and ministers, led by Old Man Qin, relied on their seniority and dozed off all day in the court, acting like bullies.

At this moment, everyone prostrated themselves humbly at Emperor Qing's feet.

If the Great Bell Incident was the peak moment of the power of the aristocratic families, then the Kyoto Bloodbath was the peak moment of the imperial power.

And the leftovers they have are being gradually eaten up by the poor forces headed by Liu Hong.

"I, the Governor of Kyoto, the Minister of War, the General of Chariots and Cavalry, and the Prince's Guardian Liu Hong, along with all the civil and military officials, come to see Your Majesty."

Liu Hong shouted loudly.

Ranked first among Kyoto officials.

It was originally a very rude thing to do, but neither Emperor Qing and the officials of the Hanging Temple, nor the officials of Kyoto thought there was anything wrong with it.

He rescued the emperor in time, reorganized the garrison and the imperial guards with iron-blooded means, and then massacred the noble families in Kyoto.

In terms of power and authority, Liu Hong can already be compared with people like Chen Pingping and Fan Jian who have been in the court for decades.

Moreover, Liu Hong is younger than them, not even thirty years old.

"Hahaha... Liu Hong, you are great! I will reward you according to your merits, and you will definitely be promoted to the Dukedom."

Emperor Qing patted Liu Hong on the shoulder and pulled him up affectionately.

The officials in Kyoto, who were originally harboring resentment, were suddenly filled with shock.

What does Emperor Qing want to do?
All dynasties ruled the world together with the aristocratic families.

Could it be that Emperor Qing dares to risk the world's disapproval and chooses to rule the world together with the peasants?
What is a peasant? He has no influence, can barely read and write, and has nothing.

"Please drive the horse for me! You are the one I trust the most."

Emperor Qing waved his hand and drove away the imperial guards on horseback.

It seems that the treatment is generous and he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to Liu Hong, but in fact he is hinting at Liu Hong and also at the aristocratic families.

He never had the idea of ​​letting the peasants rise up and become masters; they were just horse slaves.

The officials breathed a sigh of relief, while the generals of Liu Hong's faction, who understood the situation, were clenching their fists and gnashing their teeth.

For the sake of Emperor Qing, they risked being hated by everyone and were willing to massacre Kyoto in blood.

Now the noble families have become obedient, and all officials have also lowered their heads and are submissive, not daring to raise any disputes.

The enrichment of the national treasury and the inner treasury also greatly eased the conflicts between the upper and lower classes in Kyoto.

As a result, Emperor Qing was still unwilling to let Liu Hong ride in the same carriage with him and still treated Liu Hong as a dog.

How unfair!

Are these officials and generals who have climbed up from the bottom just chamber pots? They can be used when they want, and thrown away when they don’t want to use them anymore.

Liu Hong did not say anything. He sat on his warhorse and spoke softly.

"Your Majesty! Please sit tight. I am a soldier by nature. Even when I ride a horse, I can ride as fast as lightning."

"It doesn't matter. I like to train dogs. Although they are unruly at first, once they are conquered, they will be the most loyal dogs."

Emperor Qing seemed to be smiling, as if he was hinting at something, or just bringing up the topic.

All the officials followed Emperor Qing's carriage and slowly entered Kyoto.

Emperor Qing glanced at the newly renovated Kyoto, and then looked at the mountain of human heads erected at the city gate.

For a moment, everyone was shocked by Liu Hong's generosity.

This guy is a bit too cruel. How many people has he killed?

However, the more people he killed, the happier Emperor Qing was, after all, they were all working to prepare for his future.

From then on, Liu Hong had no choice but to rely on himself.

"I have deprived you of your title of Marquis of Pei before. How about I give you the title of Duke of Pei this time? With the fief of a duke, the entire Qianlong City will be yours."

Emperor Qing spoke casually, testing Liu Hong's ambition.

"My lord, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Hong spoke loudly, and his movements of clamping the carriage became much smoother.

This is reasonable. You can't expect the horse to run away and you can't expect the horse to eat grass. It's impossible.

"What else do you want? Wait until the Grand Court to present your petition and I will grant it to you."

Emperor Qing was quite generous. This time he took the lion's share of the profits, and the remaining share was given to Liu Hong.

After all, there were so many officials being purged, and there were not many generals and officials who came from humble backgrounds.

In the end, it was not a top family, but was divided among the clan members and the powerful.

It was as if Liu Hong was preparing wedding clothes for Emperor Qing and others.

Therefore, Emperor Qing didn't care about this quota at all.

"My lord, thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Hong had a blank expression on his face. He now had gathered too many talented people from poor families. Although he had no official position, as long as he was still the Governor-General of Kyoto.

He will be promoted slowly.

Besides, Liu Hong also kept a lot of the spoils from the house search, so the loss was not as great as imagined.

"Okay, let's stop here!"

In front of the palace gate, Emperor Qing suddenly spoke up and did not let Liu Hong drive directly into the palace.

Just let Liu Hong send it here.

It also made Liu Hong understand that the assassination in the Hanging Temple had come to an end, and the most important thing for the Kyoto court now was stability.

"Your Majesty, go slowly."

Liu Hong dismounted and wanted to support Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing waved his hand. On the one hand, he disliked the strong smell of blood on Liu Hong's body. On the other hand, he was also the emperor of the Ma Dynasty, not a weak monarch.

"I am very satisfied with your teaching of the prince this time. It seems that the prince made the right choice to have you as his teacher."

When they parted, Emperor Qing sighed.

In this case, the prince was shameless and ruthless and eliminated a large number of opposition forces, but put the blame on Liu Hong.

Moreover, he appeased the aristocratic families afterwards and became the biggest beneficiary.

This is quite like Emperor Qing's style.
