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

Chapter 327, Guo Baokun picks up the revolutionary thought, Cao's fantasy about Liu Fei, sword box dialogue
Before the Han army arrived here, Wang Shisanlang had already disappeared into the crowd.

Looking at the new Danzhou city, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

This place is not like the remote place in my memory, but it is similar to the capital of Qing Dynasty, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Shangjing of Northern Qi Dynasty, Nanjing and other big cities.

Although the population is not that large, it does not have a huge population size.

However, the vitality and vigor it exudes are enough to surprise people.

After all, three years ago, this was still a desolate place with a series of small fishing villages.

“It’s a masterpiece…”

Wang Shisanlang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

He thought about raising the entire Dongshan Road to support Danzhou, and then he felt relieved.

This is because Danzhou has absorbed the blood of the entire Dongshan Road and has achieved this.

In addition, it is a port city after all, and it is naturally endowed with unique conditions.

It’s understandable why Danzhou has become like this!
However, the King of Han made one mistake.

He did not close the borders or block maritime trade.

Allowing warriors from all over the world to flock into the Han Kingdom gave these people many opportunities to assassinate the King of Han.

Wang Shisanlang continued walking towards a small fishing village in Danzhou.

In the layers of intelligence from the Supervisory Council, the Western Factory, the Northern Qi Jinyiwei, and the Dongyi City trade caravan.

Yan Ruohai, the only remaining boss of the Supervisory Council, analyzed the hiding place of the King of Han.

Shisan Wang planned to use the sword energy that Si Gu Jian had been cultivating for twenty years to kill the King of Han in public.

If Yan Ruohai's analysis was wrong, then it would only take a few months.

No matter how far Wang Shisanlang traveled to every corner of the Han Kingdom, he could always find the hiding place of the King of Han.

Liu Hong looked pale and lay comfortably in the rocking chair, watching the eight-year-old Liu Fei dancing with a sword, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Cao brought wine and meat and placed them next to Liu Hong with a look of reproach in her eyes.

The injuries from the fierce battle with Emperor Qing and Ku He's full-strength attack could not be healed so quickly.

Especially when the internal energy is completely consumed, it will take at least two months.

Emperor Qing was right. This period of time was indeed when Liu Hong was at his weakest.

But so what?

Liu Hongguang could easily kill an ordinary ninth-rank master with just his physical strength.

Unless it is Yingzi, Wang Shisanlang, Haitang Duoduo, Langtao, Yun Zhilan, Yan Xiaoyi and other top warriors standing at the ninth rank.

Otherwise Liu Hong is not afraid of anyone.

Besides, he is the King of Han, and the entire Han Kingdom belongs to Liu Hong.

As long as they are willing, the ninth-grade warriors of the Han Kingdom can put down what they are doing and guard Liu Hong until his injuries improve.

But it’s not necessary!
Ninth-rank warriors all have important matters to attend to. Is it because they are afraid of being assassinated by ninth-rank warriors from all over the world that they are asked to protect themselves at all times?

Except for Cheng Jushu, even Fatty Lu was driven to Qianlong Bay by Liu Hong.

Liu Hong looked at the list of the Han court in his hand, his eyes slightly stunned.

However, it was still stamped with the seal of the King of Han.

According to the national system of the Han Dynasty, the prime minister led the six ministries and was responsible to the King of Han. The prime minister had the right to ask the King of Han to form a cabinet, and important members were all selected from the officials of the six ministries.

Prime Minister Lin Ruofu, Minister of War Huang Ming, Minister of Rites Guo Youzhi, Minister of Works Xiao He, Minister of Personnel Zhang Liang, Minister of Punishments He Kuang, and Minister of Revenue Fan Sizhe.

The cabinet is headed by the prime minister and is only responsible to the King of Han.

As for the military, there were General Han Xin, General Gou Zi, General the Western Expedition Lu Ci, General the Northern Expedition Mo Si, General the Southern Expedition Huang Xuan, and General the Eastern Conquest Fan Dadan.

The military system was still based on five people in a squad and ten people in a group, but it was based on a battalion of 1,200 people.

A regiment consisted of 6,000 people and a division consisted of 20,000 people.

The mobilization of more than 20,000 people requires the leadership of a general or above in the military, and the organization of the troops or mobilization of the troops as a corps.

The military general is responsible to the King of Han and has the authority to command the General of Chariots and Cavalry and the four generals. The deployment of troops must be coordinated with the cabinet.

As long as this decree is issued, the rather chaotic official positions in the entire Han Dynasty will be re-ordered.

But Cao didn't look happy.

Because Liu Hong gave too much power to the military and the government.

It was so serious that even Cao, an outsider, felt a little distressed.

Liu Hong casually handed the decree to a personal guard.

Let's do this for now! After all, we have to mobilize the enthusiasm of this group of people first. As for the method of checks and balances, Liu Hong naturally has a backup plan.

Guo Baokun, who was supposed to be in Northern Qi, was now standing in front of Liu Hong with a sincere look on his face.

"Thank you, King Han, for setting things right for my father!"

Liu Hong shook his head and spoke softly.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I want you to help Ji Xin promote the Three People's Thoughts. This is interfering in military affairs and offending people. Are you willing to do it?"

There is a reason for choosing Guo Baokun.

Ji Xin himself did not have a rich knowledge reserve, and relied on his passion to chaotically promote Liu Hong's ideas.

This is not a solution after all!

Only Guo Baokun has experienced the ups and downs of his family's financial situation, understands the sufferings of the world, and has close ties with the remaining aristocratic families of the Han Kingdom.

Only with Guo Baokun around can the revolutionary fire burn brightly.

Guo Baokun was stunned, a little panicked, and waved his hands quickly.

"I am a lowly scholar and a criminal of the previous dynasty. How can I take on the same important responsibility as General Ji Xin?"

Everyone knows that Ji Xin is a die-hard supporter of Liu Hong.

In the entire Qing Kingdom, Ji Xin is the person least likely to betray the King of Han.

And now Liu Hong's actions clearly show that he regards Guo Baokun as his trusted confidant.

Liu Hong's eyes were fixed on the package that Guo Baokun was carrying.

"You came all the way from Northern Qi at lightning speed. What are you carrying here?"

Guo Baokun hesitated for a while, then slowly untied the package from his back, revealing farm tools such as sickles and hoes.

Liu Hong looked a little nostalgic.

"So it was a relic of an old soldier from Qing. I almost forgot about it. I didn't expect you to still remember it."

Guo Baokun looked at the farm tools stained with dust and blood, his heart ached a little, and he spoke in a low voice.

"King of Han, they should not be forgotten! Even the many rebels within the borders of Han were once veterans of Qing."

Liu Hong's eyes became much more serious and he looked at Guo Baokun for a long time.

It was not until sweat appeared on Guo Baokun's forehead that he slowly spoke.

"reason?"

Guo Baokun's voice was a little dry, but he still spoke out what was in his heart.

He knew that what he said was somewhat outrageous.

The King of Han actually respected these rebellious veterans of the Qing Kingdom. How would the Han army feel when they were suppressing the rebellion?

But he still had to say it.

Because he is Guo Baokun, who has been hiding in Northern Qi for nearly ten years and still has not forgotten the hero.

“Heroes deserve respect!”

"The soldiers of Qianlong Bay and the veterans of Qing State once fought against Northern Qi, supporting each other all the way and fighting their way out of the bloody battle."

"We have the same hometown, and now we are at war because of different ideologies, but that doesn't mean the enemy has no merits!"

After Guo Baokun said this, he buried his head deeply.

A smile appeared on Liu Hong's face as he recalled Guo Baokun, who used to be a playboy.

It has to be said that there might be problems with Guo Youzhi’s teaching level, which made Guo Baokun neither good at literature nor martial arts.

But there is nothing wrong with the tutoring. After ten years of development, it actually shows signs of being in line with the 21st century.

"Okay! I will give these Qing veterans a respectful burial, not because it is right, but because of their loyalty, which deserves our respect."

Liu Hong gently wrote down his summons on the book.

He never kills his opponent with one blow.

Looking at the problem dialectically, the Han Dynasty was not entirely good, it was just that many problems had not yet erupted.

The Qing Kingdom must also be all bad, but the evil deeds of Emperor Qing and others have overshadowed the shining points of these people.

Guo Baokun smiled gratefully.

Liu Hong was the most magnanimous monarch he had ever met.

"It was because you brought these relics of the Qing veterans that I decided to let you, a scholar who is well-versed in the classics, spread my Three People's Thought."

Liu Hong gently pointed at the farm tools.

He took out a book from his arms and handed it to Guo Baokun.

"The main themes of the Three People's Thought are: people's livelihood, democracy, and nation."

"People's Livelihood: The highest tax in the Han Dynasty is one tenth of the tax, the people have the right to one year of free education, and the elderly over 60 have the right to receive subsidies from the government."

"Civil Rights: Citizens enjoy all rights equally, and can monitor and reflect problems of the policymakers through the People's Congress. Except for the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty who has political immunity, the princes who break the law are punished the same as the common people."

“Nationality: Oppose the old exploitative feudal class headed by the aristocratic families and cultivate the self-confident and self-reliant Han people.”

Guo Baokun read the first page carefully and his mind suddenly exploded.

This is a knife that the King of Han wields against himself and against rulers of all generations!
Looking at the King of Han in disbelief, Guo Baokun didn't understand why the King of Han would weaken his supreme power.

Liu Hong pointed to his Three Thoughts of the People again and motioned Guo Baokun to continue reading.

"The sovereignty of the Han State belongs to all its citizens..."

"We will unswervingly carry out the national policy of protecting the wealthy and small landlords and supporting handicraft workers and small merchants..."

The more Guo Baokun read, the more confused his mind became, and he became completely dazed.

Liu Hong watched Guo Baokun close the book with some surprise in his eyes.

"You finished reading it so quickly?"

Guo Baokun couldn't help but speak in a low voice.

"King Han, what exactly do you want to do?"

When Cao saw Liu Hong's Three People's Thoughts, her face turned extremely ugly.

This idea, together with the military and political system established by Liu Hong, would soon be passed down.

Basically, a large part of the emperor's power was divided fundamentally.

From the supremacy of the divine right of kings, it was adjusted to the equal concept of the human right of kings.

The emperor is still the emperor, but the emperor is no longer the emperor.

While Liu Hong was still alive and was the founding monarch, his prestige was unmatched and no one dared to oppose Liu Hong.

What about Liu Hong’s descendants?
Cao couldn't help but want to reach out and snatch the Three Thoughts of the People and tear it into pieces.

But he was held tightly by Liu Hong's strong and powerful hand.

Cao couldn't help but yell angrily.

"You are crazy! After you do this, the emperor will be supervised every day. What's the point of being in power?"

Liu Hong stared at Cao with dim eyes, his voice a little cold.

"This is not something you should consider."

Liu Ying and Fan Ruoruo were far away in Qing State in the south of the Yangtze River.

The position of the Crown Prince of Han in the Han Kingdom remained vacant for a long time.

Although Cao understood that this position would most likely be reserved for the child in Sang Wen's arms.

But she still couldn't help fantasizing in her heart that Sang Wen was just a concubine at the moment, and her son Liu Fei might not be without a chance.

That's why I don't understand Liu Hong's actions.

But Liu Hong's cold words made Cao feel as if a bucket of cold water had been poured down on her heart. It turned out that Liu Fei had no hope of becoming the heir of the Han King from the beginning to the end!

Liu Hong felt a little bit sorry when he saw Cao's distraught look.

Youyou sighed.

Don't blame him!

The position of the second emperor of the Han Dynasty was not an easy one as the imperial power was divided and dismembered.

The civil and military officials in the court and the entire nation used this new power to try to break the emperor's hand in military, political and financial affairs.

Then they would have to face a desperate counterattack from the oppressed aristocratic families, big landlords, and big businessmen.

Not to mention Liu Ying, who was born and raised in Qing State in the south of the Yangtze River and was likely to have been ruined by his education.

Even Liu Heng, whom Liu Hong expected, might not be able to handle this mess.

Unless there is someone like Liu Che, who has a temperament very similar to Liu Hong, who dares to start everything over again.

Otherwise, whoever becomes the second emperor of the Han Dynasty will be dead!
Only when secret rebels committed evil deeds and the civil and military officials who could no longer tolerate it launched a second revolution, did this system truly take root in the hearts of the people.

Only the third emperor of the Han Dynasty could live a peaceful life, and only then would the emperors after him behave themselves.

This was the fate that Zhang Liang set for Liu Ying, which Liu Hong could not and would not change.

Unless he wanted to be completely alienated like Emperor Qing and become one of the feudal monarchs of all dynasties.

But if this is really the case, then what is the point of revolution and reform?
Liu Hong sighed deeply, as if he was comforting Cao, and also as if he was comforting himself.

"It's good to be a prince in peace and prosperity for life, but it's not easy to be the emperor of Han!"

Cao was still standing there blankly, not knowing whether she heard it clearly or not.

Guo Baokun dared to speak slowly only after he saw that Liu Hong had finished taking care of the household chores.

"Then what do you want me to do, King Han?"

Liu Hong smiled. Since Guo Baokun asked this question, he probably had already been tempted.

After all, this is the dream that small and medium-sized landlords and local families have always pursued.

Limit imperial power and strengthen one's own power.

However, Liu Hong only achieved the first step, and the second step was to strengthen the power of the Han people.

"Nothing, just forming a party! All the primary power of the military and political party belongs to the emperor of Han."

Liu Hong took a sip of wine.

All this is just four words.

Democracy, centralization, power is delegated to the people, and the highest power is in the hands of the emperor.

Cao didn't understand it, she simply thought that the emperor's power had been weakened.

Guo Baokun was shocked when he heard what Liu Hong said.

Since ancient times, forming a clique has always been about pursuing personal gain.

Why did the King of Han form a party and become the leader of it?

"Just accompany Ji Xin and do it slowly. I still have a lot of time and I am not in a hurry. It is enough for you to spread this idea to every corner of the Han Kingdom."

Liu Hong just mentioned it lightly.

He simply promoted revolutionary ideas and systems and made them deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

As for the future, it depends on whether the descendants can live up to their expectations! Or how many people can understand Liu Hong!
The people’s soldiers that Ji Xin promoted in the army were good, but not good enough!
We must let the Han soldiers know that their silver, grain and salary do not come from officials or emperors, but from the people behind them.

Only in this way can they gather their faith and resist the urge to massacre the city.

Guo Baokun looked at Liu Hong and didn't dare to look up for a moment.

As Cao said, she didn't understand what Liu Hong was thinking.

Guo Baokun didn't understand what Liu Hong was trying to say.

Maybe only God knows!
But that doesn't stop Guo Baokun from admiring him.

Among all the emperors in history, Liu Hong must be the most generous, the most people-friendly and the most enlightened one.

"In that case! Then I will boldly accept this mission of forming a clique."

"But King of Han, what is the name of this party?"

Liu Hong smiled faintly and his thoughts returned to the place where the red was fluttering.

"Let's call it the Hanmin Party! I hope everyone remembers one sentence: take from the people and give back to the people!"

The guard behind him handed Guo Baokun a badge, which was a badge only available to cabinet members.

The prime minister has the right to form a cabinet, but the King of Han also has the right to add cabinet members.

With this badge, Kuo Pao-kun may not have as much power as a cabinet member.

But he can also enjoy the treatment of a second-rank official.

Guo Baokun took Liu Hong's three summons and slowly walked out of the courtyard.

However, as soon as the door was opened, Wang Shisanlang stood quietly at the door, looking at Liu Hong with a complicated expression.

He stayed here for a long time and no one noticed him.

In Wang Shisanlang's career, he had never met an emperor as different as Liu Hong.

It’s a pity that Liu Hong still has to die.

Guo Baokun froze in place, his blood running cold.

Cheng Jushu led three hundred personal guards and stood in front of Liu Hong.

The bell rang, and the remaining nine hundred guards and three thousand soldiers from Danzhou County were about to arrive in an endless stream.

Cao quickly picked up Liu Fei and looked at the silent man in front of her vigilantly.

There was no panic in Liu Hong's eyes, but rather a hint of interest.

He waved his hand and asked Cheng Jushu and others to disperse!

"Come to kill me? I'm afraid you alone are not enough!"

Liu Hong was not exaggerating. No matter how weakened the grandmaster was, there would still be four or five people like Yan Xiaoyi and Wang Shisanlang.

Instead, Liu Hong would easily defeat them one by one.

It might not be enough for Wang Shisanlang to come alone.

Wang Shisanlang slowly took out a sword box from his sleeve, his tone sonorous and powerful.

"And there it is!"

Liu Hong looked at the sword box with a trace of confusion in his eyes, and then he suddenly realized.

The voice remained calm and peaceful.

"What a pity! If Si Gu Jian had brought this sword case with him, he wouldn't have been seriously injured by Ye Liuyun."

Wang Shisanlang slowly opened a corner of the sword box.

"We have to leave a trump card for Dongyi City, right?"

It was sharp and filled with crazy sword energy, running around everywhere, but only a trace of sword light was leaked.

He then covered his neck with his hand, holding up a tall shield, and died inexplicably.

Liu Hong waved his hand.

"Except Cheng Jushu, everyone else should leave the yard. This is not something you can participate in. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices."

Everyone hesitated for a moment, and seeing Liu Hong's determined eyes, they gritted their teeth and walked out of the yard.

Seeing that Cheng Jushu was the only one left in the courtyard, Liu Hong felt relieved and looked at Wang Shisanlang calmly.

"Although Si Gu Jian is seriously injured now, he can still hold on for another five or six years. So does Dongyi City no longer need this trump card?"

Liu Hong's five-year agreement was indeed kept in mind by these grand masters.

Wang Shisanlang lowered his head, not daring to look into Liu Hong's eyes, and his voice was firmer than ever before.

"I'm sorry. I took advantage of the King of Han's serious injury. But for the sake of the people of the world, I, Wang Shisanlang, will bear the blame."

Liu Hong showed a sneer on his face and waved his sleeves in disdain.

"Many despicable deeds are done in the name of the people. When I rebelled, I did not use the name of the people. You are not worthy of using it either!"

"Go on, tell me, I have no grudge against you, why do you want to kill me?"

Cheng Jushu mobilized all his internal energy, and his whole body was shining with metallic luster.

Wanting to block the fatal blow for Liu Hong.

However, Wang Shisanlang just glanced at it and looked away.

This is the most lethal Grandmaster Si Gu Jian. His sword energy has been cultivated for twenty years. If the Grandmaster is not careful, he will be seriously injured.

What's more, he is just Cheng Jushu who has practiced ninth-grade horizontal training.

Wang Shisanlang thought about Liu Hong's words and spoke slowly again.

"You are trying to change the system of past dynasties. You are cold and heartless. You even dared to shoot your wife Fan Ruoruo and your eldest son Liu Ying."

"For the sake of the orthodoxy of the country, I will kill you, the cholera dynasty."

Liu Hong looked at the sword box in Wang Shisanlang's hand, which had been opened a lot again.

He was not afraid at all, but instead sneered.

"The emperor kills and plunders at will, the aristocratic families are rich but merciless, and the big merchants under their command are rich but merciless! I will restore order to the world."

"What's more, during her time as mistress, Fan Ruoruo was a traitor and repeatedly got herself into trouble. Our relationship as husband and wife is over, so why can't I kill her?"

Shisan Wang's hand, which was about to open the sword box, paused for a moment, then slowly and firmly opened it again, even though his palm had turned into bloody bones.

"For your own selfish desires, I used the entire Dongshan Road to support the people of Danzhou, and for the people of Dongshan Road to stab you!"

Liu Hong snorted coldly.

"You probably came directly to Danzhou! I built an economic circle with Danzhou as its core to boost the economy of Dongshan Road. The lives of the people in Dongshan Road have become much more prosperous."

Wang Shisanlang stared at Liu Hong, but there was still no regret in Liu Hong's eyes.

"I am supported by Fan Xian as a national warrior. As a warrior, I must stab you!"

Liu Hong finally smiled with satisfaction, but there was still a hint of sarcasm in his smile.

"You finally hit the point, but I can give you the same thing that Fan Xian gave you. I ask you to kill Fan Xian, will you go?"

Wang Shisanlang opened his hand to hold the sword box, but it seemed as if it had been hit by a tremendous force and could no longer be opened.

Liu Hong seemed to understand something, and there was a hint of playfulness in his smile.

"If I were you, I would not kill the King of Han! Because once the King of Han dies, the whole world will immediately fall into war."

"As for your reasons, they will all be questioned in your heart."

Wang Shisanlang remained silent, his palm bones constantly eroded by the sword light.

Then he pulled it suddenly and the sword case opened.

One sword illuminated the entire Danzhou.

Wang Shisanlang's tone remained firm.

"I am a warrior. I will keep my word and do what I say! How can I go back on my promise?"

Liu Hong looked at the dazzling sword light that was coming towards him.

This is Si Gu Jian’s twenty years of accumulation.

It is indeed extremely gorgeous and dazzling.

He looked at Wang Shisanlang again, without any sneer, ridicule or amusement.

There was only determination in his eyes.

“So that’s why I promote revolutionary ideas.”

"Warriors have power, but if they don't use it in the right way, it will definitely bring disaster to others."

"If I can't use the power of the government, then I will use my mind to change the warriors into my own people and kill those who don't obey!"

Liu Hong slowly stood up and gently raised his hand.

"As long as I am here, warriors will be used by the people!"
