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

Chapter 266, Liu Hong was very angry this time! The real cause of Ye Qingmei's death.

After hearing Ji Xin's statement, Liu Hong clenched his fists a little, but didn't say anything else.

Seeing Ji Xin's surprised expression.

Liu Hong spoke slowly.

"At this moment, do you think I am too sad? Now that things have come to this, if anger is useful, then the anger of the people in the world will be enough to burn down Emperor Qing's Weiyang Palace."

There are some other reasons that Liu Hong and Ji Xin knew very well but did not say.

This time when Emperor Qing was mobilizing troops, he did not send messengers from the prefectures and counties along the way, but instead sent urgent messages over a distance of 800 miles.

I'm afraid they also acquiesced to Emperor Qing's actions and sacrificed the noble families in Jiaozhou City.

Let Liu Hong bow his head, stop the reforms, and return to the embrace of the aristocratic family.

Er Gouzi and the others did not tell Liu Hong about these things immediately after he woke up.

I'm afraid they also maintained an attitude of acquiescence. They were a new family with military merits, and gradually became part of the conspiracy with those people.

He couldn't wait to help Liu Hong become emperor, obtain the title of duke and marquis, and have power over the world.

It cannot be said that people like Ergou are not loyal to Liu Hong.

Even if Ergouzi were asked to die now, he would do it without hesitation.

However, due to the limitations of historical perspective, they found that there was no other way to conquer the world except relying on the aristocratic families.

Since we have to compromise with the aristocratic families no matter what, we might as well compromise now so that they can enjoy wealth and glory in advance.

Ji Xin stood silently for a while and spoke in a low voice.

"Sir, the guards have assembled. When will they set off?"

"Now!"

Liu Hong spoke in a firm tone.

Ji Xin was stunned for a moment. Liu Hong had just woken up and was weak.

"I live on horseback, riding a warhorse, and I will recover faster."

Liu Hong smiled and said nothing more.

He casually grabbed the rice porridge on the table, added some pickles, and drank it all in one gulp.

He wants to return to Dongshan Road, to the local aristocratic families, and to the executioner who massacred the Jiaozhou soldiers.

Are you ready for some good rage?

So what if Liu Hong only brings a thousand personal guards?

Not only did they rescue millions of people living along the Yangtze River, but they also rebuilt the Yangtze River embankment.

As long as Liu Hong doesn't seek death and kill all the noble families in Dongshan Road, or do something to implicate everyone and make them panic.

Who on Dongshan Road dares to disobey Liu Hong’s transfer order!
Liu Hong was kind and was able to build a new Danzhou city, provide relief to disaster victims, and rebuild the Yangtze River embankment.

He could also use drastic measures to cleanse the aristocratic families in Jiangbei Road and make Li Hongcheng, the King of Wubei, who was once in the limelight, return to Kyoto in disgrace.

The governor's ceremonial procession set out again, and officials from prefectures and counties along the way spontaneously went out thirty miles outside the city to welcome them.

However, Liu Hong did not choose to rest in the city. Instead, he camped outside the city and then continued to Jiaozhou.

Everyone knew that Liu Hong was still angry.

Emperor Qing directly mobilized the soldiers from the Cangzhou camp, crossed the road and massacred the Jiaozhou soldiers. This move was tantamount to a slap in the face of Liu Hong.

If the Dongshan Road family had not made a choice, the aristocratic families who had remained silent at the beginning might have even added fuel to the fire.

All these people will become Liu Hong's fat pigs. Under the butcher's knife, their homes will be confiscated and divided, and they will contribute the silver and land accumulated over hundreds of years.

In Jiaozhou City, Eunuch Dai and Magistrate Cao had made enough money and were preparing to flee to the capital to seek asylum.

For no apparent reason, he was tied up while he was sleeping late at night.

When he woke up, he was already kneeling at Liu Hong's feet.

"Grand Commander, spare me. Eunuch Dai ordered me to do all this. I was forced to do this."

When Cao Zhi saw Liu Hong, he knew that he had been sold out by those aristocratic families.

Perhaps even his men were bribed, otherwise he would not have been tied up and forced to kneel at Liu Hong's feet in his sleep.

He immediately abandoned his dignity and begged Liu Hong for mercy.

Eunuch Dai turned pale with fright, but he still spoke in a timid manner.

"Grand Commander, I am a eunuch, the chief of criminal justice in Dongshan Road appointed by His Majesty himself. According to Daqing law, you have no right to attack me." Liu Hong did not speak, but remained silent as he looked at the endless new mounds of earth at the mass grave.

The new captain of the guards, Fan Dabing from the Kyoto gangster faction, sneered, with contempt in his eyes.

"You three are still underground. Tell it to the tens of thousands of dead souls in Jiaozhou City!"

"Three people, aren't there only two of us?"

There was a hint of doubt in Cao Zhizhou's eyes.

Then he began to sweat profusely, and his face turned pale with fear.

Unexpectedly, General Wang Bao of Cangzhou Camp was also escorted here without knowing it.

He was a prominent figure who was about to be promoted by Emperor Qing to Kyoto as the Minister of War because of his meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion of Jiaozhou soldiers demanding wages.

Unexpectedly, Wang Bao also fell into Liu Hong's hands.

How is this possible? Wang Bao is commanding 40,000 Cangzhou troops and is under the protection of the army.

Liu Hong glanced at Wang Bao.

This guy did take some time to think about it, but with the Supervisory Council, the East Factory, the Dongshan Road aristocratic families, and the Dongshan Road army and Jiaozhou navy.

The generals in the Cangzhou camp, fearing that they would be implicated by angering Liu Hong, sold out Wang Bao without hesitation.

Of course, this was also carried out with the tacit approval of Yan Xiaoyi, the Grand Commander of Zhenbei.

"Grand Commander of Andong, I am now a second-rank official, the Minister of War, and you cannot kill me! Otherwise, it would be a slap in the face of His Majesty."

Wang Bao was making his final effort.

As a soldier, he was just following orders, there was nothing wrong with that.

As for slaughtering the Jiaozhou soldiers who had no weapons in their hands, wasn't that a military strategy? It was to prevent the Cangzhou army from suffering too much damage.

"killed……"

Liu Hong ignored Wang Bao, picked up three incense sticks, knelt down and prayed for the tens of thousands of innocent souls in Jiaozhou City.

The guard raised his sword and slashed, and the heads of three good men fell to the ground.

Unlike the innocent souls in Jiaozhou City, these three people didn’t even have the chance to bury their bodies.

They will lie dead in the wilderness until vultures devour them.

As a result of the final handling of this matter, the Western Factory forces in Dongshan Road and Jiangbei Road were cleared out without hesitation, and a large number of corrupt officials were also taken away.

The Cangzhou soldiers were disarmed and returned to Cangzhou unarmed.

Emperor Qing put out what Liu Hong cared about most and instantly warned the people of the world.

The aristocratic families were delighted from ear to ear because Liu Hong was so gentle and prudent, thinking that he was trying to get close to them and compromise.

The chaotic Jiaozhou City was stabilized again because the main culprit was executed, but people probably didn't dare to talk about political affairs in the next few years.

It looks like all three parties are happy.

Only Liu Hong stood silently in the mass grave, looking at those Jiaozhou soldiers who didn't even deserve a name, feeling a dull pain in his heart.

"Ye Qingmei, I think I know how you died."

Liu Hong spoke softly and found a vacant space to sit down.

As everyone knows, Ye Qingmei is the one who secretly cooperated with Emperor Qing, the temple, and the aristocratic families to cut off all defensive forces.

Finally, the Qin family secretly led the army, rushed into Taiping Villa, and killed Ye Qingmei.

In fact, Ye Qingmeixin had already died.

Because from the very beginning, she was wrong to think that she could influence those at the top from the top down.

Emperor Qing, who had high hopes, became the executioner.

Chen Pingping, Fan Jian and others have chosen to remain silent in the seemingly vigorous reform, neither understanding nor supporting it, and will one day drift away.

But Ye Qingmei was a woman, and she did not have the reputation to conquer the whole world, so she could not become the emperor.

It seemed that a series of policies that benefited the country and the people were promulgated in the court, but in fact they became tools for exploiting the people.

The Supervisory Council, which is responsible for monitoring the imperial power, has also become the sharpest weapon in Emperor Qing's hands.

Ye Qingmei saw this.

She knew that if she continued with the reforms, it would not only be Emperor Qing who would take action, but even Chen Pingping, Fan Jian, Prince Jing and others would oppose her.
