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

Chapter 396: The indifferent attitude of the Northern Qi noble families, and the Tang King Fatty Lu personally helping Liu Ying
Liu Ying set out on the journey back to Shangjing. Whenever he passed through counties and prefectures of Qi, he would summon tenants from aristocratic families to question them.

His words are well-reasoned and even though he doesn't cite any classics, ordinary people can understand them at once.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"As expected of the Emperor Gao's descendant, after going through that ordeal, his mind is probably stronger than an adult's."

Liu Ying smiled faintly and said nothing.

Never glorify suffering, because there is no reason for people to accept suffering.

We should praise those who have experienced hardships, strived to improve themselves, and broke through the shackles of class.

Liu Ying did not say these words, but just looked at the investigation reports of the past few days with a frown.

These tenants were starving and cold, with no clothes to cover their bodies, and their eyes were dull and lifeless. They had none of the proud demeanor of the southern people.

Faced with this situation, Liu Ying was helpless and didn't know what to do. He could only ask Li Chengqian for help.

"Brother, when Emperor Gao was in power, didn't he order the Tianyi Dao to change its doctrine? He even went so far as to kill more than 5,000 Tianyi Daoists."

"They also forced the Saintess of Tianyi Dao to flee to the Western Hu King's Court. Why haven't these people changed at all?"

The royal family is the royal family after all, even if Liu Ying's identity makes people wary.

However, it is still easy to call up previous data.

Li Chengqian gently stroked the wheelchair and did not speak.

Li Yunrui gently stroked his graying hair and spoke casually.

"Your Highness, the idea has already spread. How can it be easily eradicated? Bad ideas always have a better environment to grow than good ideas."

Li Yunrui has not been involved in politics for almost ten years. At most, he relies on Li Chengqian to fulfill his political demands.

However, he hit the nail on the head when it came to the situation of Northern Qi.

Liu Ying opened his mouth and his heart became heavier.

The Qi emperor's entourage soon arrived at Shangjing City.

However, today the capital city was completely silent, and it was hard to tell that it was a big city with a population of hundreds of thousands.

Even the common people on the street closed their doors and at most opened their windows to secretly peek at their new emperor.

This was a naked show of force by the Northern Qi aristocratic families, warning Liu Ying not to change the domestic environment of Northern Qi.

Li Chengqian's face turned pale and he clenched his fists slightly.

"Your Highness, I will dispatch the troops and ministers from Huaibei Kingdom and contact Li Chengze, the King of Qing Kingdom."

"At worst, we can just replace all the court officials of Northern Qi with our people! It's useless to keep ministers who are not loyal to the monarch."

When Li Yunrui heard Li Chengqian's angry words, her beautiful eyes lit up slightly.

The ambition in her heart was rekindled and burning fiercely. Perhaps this time, she could realize her dream of governing a great country, just like Ye Qingmei did.

After all, Liu Ying was only twelve years old. Even if he wanted to perform the coming-of-age ceremony earlier, he had to wait until he was sixteen to take charge of the imperial power.

These four years are the opportunity for their initial investors.

Liu Ying's face was solemn, but he still shook his head.

"Brother, that's not necessary. This will only arouse the rebellious psychology of the four major clans and make more people jealous of us, and it will have no effect."

"I don't know Northern Qi yet. I don't know who my enemies are and who my allies are."

Liu Ying clenched his fist and signaled his guards to enter the city.

The four great clans of Northern Qi shared power. Were they united as one? Were the aristocratic families under the clans willing to be their dogs?
Liu Ying did not think so.

He is the emperor of Northern Qi, and no matter what, there will always be a large number of speculators supporting him.

Outside Shangjing City, the sound of countless cavalrymen's hooves could be heard, sand was flying in the sky, and the earth was shaking continuously.

The 20,000 guards quickly formed their battle formation, tightly gripped their swords and guns, and looked vigilantly at the charging cavalry.

At this time, Li Yunrui's expression also changed slightly.

These Northern Qi noble families would not do such an unwise thing! They couldn't wait to kill them before they even came to power.

"Hahaha, godson, do you miss being your godfather?" Fatty Lu's hearty laughter almost covered up all the sounds of horse hooves.

Not only Liu Ying was stunned where he stood, but even the four major families hiding in the dark felt a chill in their hearts.

Who is Fatty Lu? He is the brother of Emperor Gao and the child he raised. When Emperor Gao was seriously ill, he almost entrusted his power to Fatty Lu.

To put it bluntly, Emperor Gao may not want to teach the child because he has psychological trauma from teaching Fatty Lu.

In the whole world, the only one who could lead troops to travel around the prefectures and counties without any scruples and without informing the court was Fatty Lu.

Because Fatty Lu can be said to be the executive vice emperor of the Han Dynasty, a king on par with the emperor, a leader of the military aristocracy, the honorary chief minister of the cabinet, an honorary general, the garrison commander of Qianlong Bay, the title of King of Tang, and a powerful figure with a fief of 30,000 households.

Fatty Lu doesn't care about anyone except Emperor Gao.

When Liu Ying saw Fatty Lu's fat figure clearly, joy immediately showed on his face and he quickly jumped down from the ceremonial guard.

He jumped into Fatty Lu's arms.

"Father!"

Liu Ying's panic of being in a foreign country and the grievance of being treated coldly by the aristocratic families of Northern Qi disappeared at this moment.

Fatty Lu lifted Liu Ying up high and laughed out loud.

He has no son. Although he has not seen Liu Ying often in recent years, deep down, Fatty Lu has already regarded Liu Ying as his own son.

After Liu Ying's excitement, he looked at the size of the cavalry behind Fatty Lu and spoke with some concern.

"Foster father, you have mobilized so many cavalrymen, I'm afraid there must be 10,000 of them! The Queen Mother and the Prime Minister will definitely reprimand you, and even reduce your fiefdom."

Fatty Lu can lead the army without orders, but there is a limit on the number of soldiers, no more than one thousand armored soldiers.

With more than 10,000 cavalrymen traveling around the world, no matter whether it is the fiefdom of aristocrats with military merit or the aristocratic families, all of them will be in chaos!
Concerns about Liu Ying.

Fatty Lu looked nonchalant.

"Just cut it, I don't care about this little fief, I don't have a son, the Tang Kingdom in Donghai County will probably be destroyed in a few decades, or it will be handed over to you."

"Besides, my eldest brother is not dead yet. I don't know where he is hiding. Once there is a happy event in the country, you still have to restore my fiefdom."

After all, it comes down to strong backing and great confidence.

In the entire Han Dynasty, no one dared to say who had the most legitimate lineage except Fatty Lu.

The censors didn't even have the courage to slander Fatty Lu, accusing him of wanting to rebel and having disloyal intentions.

Because Fatty Lu likes beautiful women. When the Qing Kingdom was destroyed, most of the 3,000 beauties in the Qing Emperor's harem were abducted by Fatty Lu alone.

The problem is that Fatty Lu has no offspring! If we rebel, who will inherit the world?

Liu Ying chuckled foolishly and scratched his head.

That being said, my adoptive father must be under a lot of pressure from the court.

Because in the court, apart from Queen Sang Wen and Prince Liu Heng, there were probably few ministers who wanted Liu Ying to take charge of the Northern Qi government.

Liu Ying's biological mother Fan Ruoruo.

It will always be a thorn in the side of the ruling party in the court and Liu Ying.

Fatty Lu carried Liu Ying onto his warhorse and glared at the guards who seemed a little at a loss.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry and get into the palace!"

For a moment, the originally active Li Chengqian and Li Yunrui also fell silent, looking at the reckless Fatty Lu from time to time.

Arrogant and domineering!

This word popped up in the minds of both Liu Ying's followers and the aristocratic families in secret.

But the problem is that King Tang and the Qianlong Bay garrison commander Lu Ci personally stood up for the Qi Emperor Liu Ying.

If anyone dared not to give him face, no one would say anything even though Fatty Lu killed a few clan leaders and wiped out a large number of aristocratic families.

This group of people may not care about Liu Ying, who has a shallow foundation, but Fatty Lu has to care.
