The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

After the Kushan Xihou among the Yuezhi gradually became powerful, he conquered the south and the north in the area of ​​​​Bactria and established a vast empire.

But the Yuezhi were essentially still a nomadic country, and there was no corresponding system that would allow the Kushans to sit at the center and control the empire.

Therefore.

The Kushans chose to live in different cities in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter to facilitate management.

The most important of these, which is visited in both spring and autumn, is the city of Brushabuluo, also known as Peshawar, Flusha, Husband City, and City of Flowers...

And Li Fu was brought to this city, the capital of the Kushan Empire.

As the most important city of Kushan, Li Fu was once amazed and impressed by it.

But since his trip to Han territory, he felt that the capital of Kushan City was so pathetic.

"Not to mention big cities like Chang'an and Luoyang, even a random county town in the Central Plains would probably be more than this standard, right?"

The wall of the city is more than ten feet high and covers an area of ​​two square kilometers.

The population of the people living in the city was the highest in the Kushan Empire, reaching nearly 300,000!
The surrounding pagoda temples and tulips make this place even more solemn and lively!

but……

After seeing cities of the size of Chang'an and Luoyang, in Li Fu's eyes, these cities not only lacked the slightest cultural atmosphere, but were instead filled with a strong sense of decay.

"Kushan can't continue like this!"

Whenever Li Fu met someone on the road, he would tell the other person about the big man he saw.

The palace guards were fed up with this and simply threw Li Fu into prison to prevent him from contacting other people.

"Why are you arresting me? What crime have I committed?"

"You know what! In the Han Dynasty, there is the Jian'an Law! Everything must be done according to the law! Even the emperor of the Han Dynasty would not put someone in jail for no reason! Why do you treat me like this?"

"..."

Li Fu shouted unwillingly in prison.

At the same time, a trace of gloom inevitably appeared in his heart.

Fortunately, Li Fu did not give up.

Because there are also people in prison! There is hope!
In prison, Li Fu described the big man from the East to the prisoners.

"In the Han Dynasty, there were no slaves."

"Even the servants in the house, the Han people would treat them like family members!"

"The emperor of the Han Dynasty will distribute land to every citizen of the Han Dynasty. All citizens of the Han Dynasty will get land when they are born, and they will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives..."

soon.

The prisoners in the prison were all attracted by the beautiful world that Li Fu described.

gradually.

Even the jailer was attracted by Li Fu. Whenever Li Fu spoke, he would stand beside him respectfully and listen to his teachings.

"We Kushans are actually the Yuezhi people from three hundred years ago."

"The Yuezhi used to live at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, and were driven here by the Xiongnu... But we are all descendants of the Xia people, and this is indisputable!"

"..."

After the Xia Dynasty!

The Yuezhi and the Han Dynasty have the same origin!

But now that the Han Dynasty is so prosperous, we Yuezhi people are still so backward!
Kushan...needs change!
……

"Be bold!"

The Kushan king, Bodiao.

He was no ordinary Kushan king.

Before Pothau, the Kushan Empire had already shown signs of decline. Even Khwarezm in the west had slipped out of the Kushan Empire's control. It was only after Pothau ascended the throne that it was taken back and returned to Kushan rule.

Bodiao can be called the leader of the Kushan Empire's revival!

but now.

This leader of a country with slightly curly hair and wearing a round-necked robe was roaring at the people below.

"Mrs. Li, is she a spy sent by the Han people?"

"That's not the case! Li Fupo is a native Kushan."

"Since he is a Kushan, why does he flatter the Han so much? How much money did the Han give him?"

The question of wave modulation is destined to remain unanswered.

"Bring Mrs. Li here! I want to see him!"

In order to shock the wealthy lady Li, Bo Diao put on the most gorgeous clothes, dressed herself meticulously and looked extremely majestic!

So much so that when Bo Diao saw Mrs. Li, the first thing he said was to question -

"Who is more majestic, me or the Emperor of Han?"

Li Fu put his hands together——

"You are like the golden Buddha in the Buddhist temple. People dare not even look at you directly!"

Bo Diao nodded with satisfaction, thinking that Li Fu was not hopeless.

"I look like a golden Buddha, what does the emperor of the Han Dynasty look like?"

Li Fu recalled Liu Xie's outfit in his mind and shook his head slightly.

"The emperor of the Han Dynasty is just like an ordinary person."

After hearing this, Bo Diao was even more delighted: "Then why do you praise the Han so much and belittle the Kushans?"

Li Fu's legs were pressed down by the guards and he fell to his knees, but his back was straight.

"Because the reason why the emperor of the Han Dynasty is the same as ordinary people is that he never shows his fangs to his subjects."

"Your Majesty, you are just like the Golden Buddha because you always treat your own people as superiors and do not regard the people of Kushan as your own people!" "Asshole!"

The smile on Bo Diao's face froze.

I thought Li Fu was giving in in front of me, but unexpectedly Li Fu's words were full of sarcasm!

"Are you saying that I am not as good as that big man's emperor?"

"..."

Li Fu did not give a direct answer.

"The Emperor of the Han Dynasty has admitted that you, Your Majesty, are his brothers! Just like me, the Kushans, and the Han Dynasty, we are all descendants of the same Chinese roots! Since we are brothers, why do we need to compete with each other?"

"But now the prosperity of the Han Dynasty is indeed far greater than that of the Kushan Empire. This is a fact that I have witnessed with my own eyes!"

Facing Bo Diao, Li Fu stopped talking about the prosperity of the Han Dynasty and instead focused on the Han Dynasty's system.

"When the people of the Han Dynasty were born, the imperial court allocated them land so that they could cultivate the fields and not starve to death."

"The Han court will take the initiative to open schools to teach the people to read and write, and everyone, regardless of their social status, will participate in the imperial examinations and be uniformly registered!"

"In the university hall outside Chang'an City, everyone can express their opinions!"

"Their scholars do not discuss the meaning of scriptures or doctrines, but rather how to increase land production, how to increase grain harvests, and how to make the people rich and strong, which is beneficial to the country and the people!"

"And what about us in Kushan?"

"The nobility will always be the nobility, and caste has become an insurmountable gap!"

"Everyone must listen to the teachings, and no other discussion is allowed. Anyone who has any doubts will be executed. Officials do not follow the law, and the people never respect orders. Is this what a country should be like?"

Li Fu's eyes were already filled with tears.

"Respected King! The Kushans and the Han are both descendants of the Chinese people. We all have the same blood in our bodies, but the difference between us is so huge now. Shouldn't we reflect on this?"

……

Bo Diao looked at the tears in Li Fu's eyes and was suddenly shocked.

"Then according to your idea, what should Kushan do?"

Hearing that Bo Diao was willing to listen to his words, Li Fu was overjoyed!

"Your Majesty is the wisest man in Kushan. You should know what Kushan's biggest problem is now!"

"First, please take back all the nobles' land and follow the example of the Han Dynasty to distribute it equally to the common people!"

Just the first one made Bo Diao's eyes tremble.

"Secondly, I ask the king to abolish the hereditary status of the nobles in the country and adopt the imperial examination system to select talented people in the country to govern the country!"

There was a loud bang in Bo Diao's head, and he seemed to be split in two!
"Third, the king must ban all Buddhist and Brahmanism! Fully sinicize and learn advanced knowledge from the Han Dynasty, such as Lun Heng..."

"enough!!!"

Before Li Fu could finish, Bo Diao roared, and then pointed at Li Fu with his hands shaking continuously -

"You are a spy! A spy of the Han people!"

"Execution! For people like you, there is only execution!"

Bo Diao was furious!

He couldn't even imagine how much shock these words would cause once they reached the ears of the big landowners, nobles, and religious leaders in the Kushan Empire!

This was the first time in the Kushan Empire that someone pointed the finger at the big landowners, nobles, and Kushan religion!

Attacking them...are you looking for death?

Precisely because Bo Diao is the leader of the revival, he knows who are the pillars supporting his throne!

If I really listened to Li Fu's words, what would be the difference between that and chopping off my own head with a sword?
And things turned out just as Bo Diao expected.

When Li Fu's remarks spread, especially the three "national policies", the Kushan land, which had been silent for hundreds of years, suddenly became boiling!
"The great man's lies are misleading!"

"The man deserves death!"

"Heresy! Heresy!!!"

"..."

The big landlords, nobles, religious leaders in Kushan, even the royal family of Dayuan who fled to Kushan and other people from the Western Regions who were dissatisfied with the rule of the Han Dynasty, unexpectedly united for the first time.

"Trade with the Han is prohibited!"

"Yes! The Han things must not be allowed to reach Kushan!"

"We should send troops to capture the Annan Protectorate! Retake the Western Regions! Teach the Han a lesson!!!"

"..."

Faced with the terrifying pressure from these people, the Kushan King Bo Diao finally made a decision -

"Today, the Kushan Empire officially declares war on the Han Dynasty!"

When the letter declaring war was delivered to the Protectorate of the Western Regions, all the Han officials were stunned.

Liu Bei opened his mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time.

Cao Cao closed his eyes and opened them, opened his eyes and closed them again and again, repeating this cycle several times before he was finally sure that he was not dreaming.

"You mean... Kushan, the Yuezhi back then, declared war on the Han Dynasty?"

how many years?

How many years have passed since the Han Dynasty beat the Huns into pieces?

They never imagined that in their lifetime, they would hear the news that a country declared war on the Han Dynasty!
"Xuan De, don't stop me this time."

Cao Cao's eyes were sharp, but he couldn't close his mouth at all.

"Since the Kushans dare to declare war on the Han Dynasty, there is absolutely no reason for the Han Dynasty to avoid the war!"

"Since he dares to declare war, we must not give him the chance to surrender!" (End of this chapter)
