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

Chapter 339: This is our reform! Sang Wen gives birth and Liu Heng is born
When Lin Ruofu heard what the ascetic monk said, his face changed drastically.

Liu Hong frowned slightly. Lin Dabao is dead?

What is the significance of the shadow taking the dead Lin Dabao to Qing Kingdom?

Lin Dabao's plump body was now stiff, and the innocent smile he had in the past had long since disappeared.

When Lin Ruofu saw that his eldest son was also dead, he knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

"Dabao, I'm sorry for you..."

I can only say that it was quite good. The shadow of the Hanging Temple made a mistake and Fan Xian's life was hanging by a thread.

Now Shadow has kidnapped Lin Dabao and killed him.

After all, he was born a killer, so there is no way he can do such delicate work as kidnapping.

Yu Ping carefully examined Lin Dabao's body, glanced at Lin Dabao's breath, and his face felt a little heavy.

"Your Majesty! Young Master Lin was first drugged, then his aorta was hit hard and he fainted. During his escape, he breathed in too much dust and died of suffocation."

Liu Hong stood there quietly, unable to deny Yu Ping's inference.

Yu Ping felt a chill in his heart and quickly lowered his head.

They haven't made a move yet! This was really killed by Shadow, an amateur from the Overwatch Council. It's none of their business.

Lin Ruofu stuffed Lin Dabao into his arms with all his strength, his eyes dull and he muttered to himself.

"Dabao, why did you leave?"

Lin Ruofu experienced the death of young people twice.

Both times were related to his son-in-law Fan Xian.

Lin Gong died, and Lin Ruofu had nothing to say. After all, it was Lin Gong who sought death, so it was normal for him to be killed.

But Lin Dabao had done nothing wrong! Why was he dragged into this struggle?

Liu Hong sighed, this is the disadvantage of secret police politics.

In the end, it can be said that victory justifies any means.

"Minister Lin, I'm so sorry... Go home and fix Lin Dabao's makeup first!"

Liu Hong patted Lin Ruofu on the shoulder.

Lin Ruofu raised his head with a complicated expression.

"My king, are you going home? I don't know where I have a home now. I have only one daughter, and I don't know how much trouble she has suffered in Qing Kingdom."

I don’t even have any relatives, and I have no place to put my soul.

Is this home still the home in Lin Ruofu’s heart?

Yu Ping was secretly delighted in his heart. Fortunately, the Supervisory Council sent Shadow to kidnap Lin Dabao, otherwise Lin Dabao would not have died.

Now Prime Minister Lin has no reason to resign.

Unexpectedly, Liu Hong's words made Yu Ping feel like he was falling into an icy cave.

Liu Hong looked at Lin Ruofu with sincere eyes.

"Minister Lin, please resign!"

Lin Ruofu suddenly raised his head, not understanding why Liu Hong, who had refused to let him return to his hometown to retire, now asked him to resign.

Lin Dabao died at the hands of the Qing State Supervisory Council and at the hands of Fan Xian.

This blood feud must be avenged!

"King of Han..."

Liu Hong raised his hand, signaling Lin Ruofu to listen to him.

"Prime Minister Lin, you only have one daughter left now, and she is far away in Qing. If you continue to serve as Prime Minister of Han, Lin Wan'er's life will be in danger."

When Lin Ruofu heard Liu Hong's sincere words, every word was for his own good, he fell silent for a moment.

The Shazhou prefect rushed over with other officials. When they saw that Master Lin had died in the Shazhou River, they felt dizzy and as if the sky was about to fall down.

And the King of Han was still here, just about to kneel down.

Liu Hong waved his hand and asked these people to buy a coffin first.

Lin Ruofu seemed to have lost his soul at that time, and followed Liu Hong into Shazhou City in a daze.

Lin Dabao had his makeup done, changed into his birthday clothes, and selected a Feng Shui site for burial.

Lin Ruofu did not intervene in these things. He did not dare to look at Lin Dabao's body again.

Liu Hong quietly accompanied Lin Ruofu, this old man who had been in the officialdom for decades.

On the attic of Shazhou, Lin Ruofu looked at a pile of exquisite snacks and had no appetite at all.

Liu Hong ate two pieces of bean paste cake, drank a sip of tea, and found it difficult to speak.

"Prime Minister Lin, I'm sorry! Our Han Kingdom will use Master Lin's matter to formally declare war on the Qing Kingdom. The Shazhou Navy and Jiaozhou Navy will escort Han Xin's 200,000 troops to capture Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible."

This is as it should be, since shadows are unreliable.

Instead of taking Lin Dabao away and forcing Prime Minister Lin to resign, he gave the Han Kingdom an excuse to go to war.

Lin Ruofu glanced at Liu Hong and his lips moved.

"Thank you..."

Liu Hong hurriedly bowed to Lin Ruofu and bowed deeply.

“Minister Lin, even if you have complaints against me about this matter, I will bear it!”

"What's the difference between my behavior and eating the dead's food? But the Han Kingdom needs an excuse to launch a war."

After saying this, Liu Hong had a bitter taste in his mouth.

Ten years ago, Emperor Qing declared war on Northern Qi because of Lin Gong's death.

Ten years later, Liu Hong used Lin Dabao's death to declare war on the Qing Kingdom.

History always has surprising similarities. Emperor Qing is right. It is hard not to be alienated when sitting in this position.

Lin Ruofu raised his eyes, and his eyes seemed to have regained some vitality.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. I sincerely want to thank you. You are different from Emperor Qing."

“Emperor Qing killed my son, and he still asked me to kneel down in gratitude and endure it silently! And King Han, you have done your best to help me, but this is probably Dabao’s fate…”

As the grandmaster, the King of Han learned of Lin Dabao's whereabouts at the first opportunity, and shamelessly went directly to Shazhou to rescue him.

In terms of emotion and reason, Liu Hong has done his best.

The Grand Master is not a god and cannot revive the dead.

Lin Ruofu helped Liu Hong, who was bowing, up and spoke sincerely with a determined look in his eyes.

"King of Han, please let me continue to serve as the Prime Minister of Han!"

Liu Hong looked at Lin Ruofu in surprise.

Didn't he already tell Lin Ruofu? Lin Wan'er is still in Qing Kingdom, and now Lin Ruofu only has one daughter.

Lin Ruofu stood up with some difficulty and looked at Jiangnan Qingguo.

"I'm old! I've been a timid and cautious official all my life, but there are still people who won't let me go."

"King of Han, even if I resign and return home, will Qing let me go? They will want me to return to Qing and wantonly destroy Han's reforms."

"It is only now that I understand that blindly compromising will only make others think you are weak and vulnerable, which will make them even more aggressive."

This was the warning from his ancestors that Liu Hong remembered when he was at the Hanging Temple.

Now Lin Ruofu has understood this truth himself.

A smile that had not been seen for a long time appeared on Lin Ruofu's face.

Outside Shazhou City, Lin Dabao's seventh day of mourning has passed and he is being buried in a Feng Shui treasured site.

A large group of children, wearing clean patched clothes, looked at the coffin-carrying team with curiosity.

Reforms are not always good. There will always be corrupt officials who tamper with the content of the reforms and find excuses for their own extortion.

Everything has two sides. There is a rare gentleman like Li Chengru in Qing Kingdom, and there are villains in Han Kingdom as well.

But reform can benefit the majority of people, including many working people.

There is no doubt about this!

Lin Ruofu puffed out his chest and pointed at the foot of Shazhou City. Young children were playing with each other, while the older ones were sharing their parents' work.

"King of Han, listen, what's the noise below the city?"

Liu Hong's ears moved slightly, and countless sounds of blacksmithing, hawking, and playing rang out.

But Liu Hong did not speak. Lin Ruofu opened his arms, immersed in it, as if he wanted to embrace this Shazhou City.

"King of Han, please continue your reforms! Han has not yet reached its heyday, and it is still some distance away from being a well-governed country."

“I really hope that one day I can see a new world!”

Liu Hong's expression was moved, but he shook his head, his tone extremely firm.

"Minister Lin, you are wrong. This is not my reform."

Lin Ruofu turned around, looking a little surprised.

All I heard was a steady and powerful voice coming from the attic.

“This is our transformation!”

Lin Ruofu laughed, with a mixture of pain, carefreeness, and more importantly, relief.

His two sons had already died, and his daughter was far away in Qing State. He had no children and was living a very difficult life.

He had nothing left to lose.

In this case, it is better to follow the King of Han and bring peace and prosperity to the world.

"King of Han, in fact, food is also easy to satisfy. The food grown on the ground is limited, but there is still a vast world in the sea!"

Lin Ruofu spoke softly, awakening Liu Hong who had been in a dilemma.

Food is the most important thing for people. Rice and wheat are food, and the crabs, fish and shrimps in the ocean are also food.

The technology of the three major workshops was popularized, factories were densely distributed, and the shipbuilding industry was also developing rapidly.

It can provide the Han State with larger and stronger ships, and enable it to set foot in deeper oceans!

Lin Ruofu has always been capable, but before he was just a nobody, merely stabilizing the power of the court.

Liu Hong bowed deeply to Lin Ruofu.

"Please ask Prime Minister Lin to return to Beijing!"

Lin Ruofu took a deep look at Lin Dabao's coffin, then smiled and nodded.

Yu Ping led a guard team of thousands of people and shouted loudly.

"King of Han, Prime Minister, set off back to the capital!"

There were many forces in the Han court who were eager to climb to the position of prime minister, but after seeing Lin Ruofu return to the cabinet again.

He calmed down and continued to do his job honestly.

The King of Han has always trusted Prime Minister Lin. As long as Prime Minister Lin doesn't want to leave, no one can drive him away.

The Han State mobilized most of the Jiaozhou navy to salvage fish and shrimp deep along the coast.

In addition, the Han State purchased salted fish at one and a half times the market price and produced large quantities of canned food in preparation for the war.

Han Xin finally got the imperial edict he had been waiting for. The King of Han gave him full authority to command an army of 200,000 and 20,000 naval forces in Shazhou.

Go on an expedition to the Kingdom of Qing to seek justice for the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Han.

General Chariot and Cavalry Er Gouzi, General the Southern Expedition Huang Xuan, General the Pacification of the East Fan Dadan, and General the Northern Expedition Mo Si accompanied Han Xin on the expedition.

This time, Liu Hong sent more than 80% of the essence of the Han State and the veteran generals who had been on the battlefield for a long time to Han Xin.

After Hong Zhu announced this decree, his hands kept shaking.

Liu Hong is so generous!

Officials in the court kept writing letters of concern, questioning whether Han Xin had too much military power and whether he might betray the Han Dynasty.

The Han Kingdom would probably lose a large amount of territory. Without the great master Liu Hong, the country would probably be destroyed.

However, Liu Hong ignored all these memorials.

There is a way to solve the food problem. The silver will be given to Versace, and the military equipment and logistics will be handed over to Xiao He.

In this case, let Han Xin give full play to his extraordinary talent and let the world see what it means to be an unparalleled hero!
Han Xin took the imperial edict, with a mixture of gratitude and excitement flashing in his eyes.

With his aloof personality, he couldn't think of any way to flatter others.

Han Xin was determined to win a great victory for Liu Hong.

Even if it is impossible to destroy Qing in one fell swoop, we must seize the Jiangnan area, which is the richest part of Qing and accounts for half of the tax revenue.

After Hong Zhu announced the decree, he should have left, but he was still a little worried and gave many instructions.

"General, you must be cautious! This is the capital that the King of Han has accumulated for ten years."

It’s not that Hong Zhu doesn’t believe Han Xin.

The main reason was that the State of Qing had deployed hundreds of thousands of troops along the Yangtze River, ready to fight, waiting for Han Xin to cross the river and launch a head-on attack.

Han Xin remained silent, but he held the imperial edict in his hand even tighter.

Hong Zhu said nothing more and was about to leave.

"One year! I only need one year to occupy most of Jiangnan and send a gift to the second son of the King of Han."

Hong Zhu smiled. Although he felt that Han Xin was just talking nonsense, it was good that he had this intention.

He also had to go back quickly to welcome the true heir of the Han Dynasty.

In Changle Palace, a large number of Liu Hong’s troops and cabinet officials stood outside the palace, waiting anxiously.

Liu Hong seemed calm and composed, standing quietly outside the courtyard, looking at the lake without any ripples.

Lin Ruofu was somewhat impressed by Liu Hong's energy-cultivating skills.

Hong Zhu hurried over and was stunned to see everyone still waiting outside the palace. Then his heart skipped a beat.

"Not born yet?"

The young eunuch nodded with some embarrassment.

His eyes flickered and he kept glancing at the imperial concubine's palace.

If Sang Wen had a difficult birth, the people who would probably be the happiest would be the Northern Qi royal family.

The idle marquises Li Chengqian and Li Chengze also noticed that something was wrong with the time.

My heart was slightly tense, but also a little relaxed.

If Sang Wen's child could not be born, Liu Ying's position would probably be as stable as a rock.

Liu Hong finally turned around and looked at Changle Palace with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Even though he was a grandmaster, the number one person in the Han State, there was no way for him to make better preparations for Sang Wen's childbirth.

"King of Han, why don't you let me enter Changle Palace and give it a try?"

Li Yunrui opened her red lips slightly, stood out from the crowd, and her beautiful eyes met Liu Hong's scrutinizing gaze.

But there was no trace of fear or cowardice.

Liu Hong clenched his fingers tightly, then waved his hand, motioning Li Yunrui to go in.

After all, Li Yunrui has experience in giving birth, so she should be able to tell what went wrong.

Anyway, for the many midwives in the palace, having Li Yunrui is better than having nothing.

Li Yunrui had not yet approached Changle Palace.

The tightly closed palace gate opened wide, and Sang Wen's personal maid screamed in surprise.

"It's born, it's born, it's a boy!"

Li Yunrui stopped, lost in thought, and then smiled in confusion.

"I'm really lucky. I only gave birth to a boy in my lifetime."

Then Li Yunrui walked towards Li Chengqian without looking back.

Lin Ruofu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Liu Hong.

"King of Han, may God bless our Han people!"

When the Han Dynasty was undergoing reforms, Queen Sang Wen, who had been successfully enthroned, gave birth to a boy.

This child was influenced by the Reform Movement since he was born.

As long as his intelligence is at a normal level, he can be prevented from being led astray by someone with ulterior motives.

Under the increasingly mature bureaucratic system of the Han Dynasty, the reform could continue for another 20 to 30 years until it became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Liu Hong was a little absent-minded and didn't look too happy. He thought of Yu Ping's fortune-telling in the past.

Muttered to himself.

"Maybe! God help me, big man."
