The Three Great Han Dynasties: Awaken Liu Bei with a scolding; you weave mats and sell sandals.

"They're all bastards."

Zhang Rang sneered, his eyes flashing with hatred. "It's perfect that we have this Marquis of Weining. Let's see how I deal with you this time. You think you can get His Majesty to lift the Party Prohibitions? You scum, do you even deserve it?"

Waste. All of them are waste.

Zhang Rang slowly opened his mouth.

His shouts and curses quickly attracted the attention of others in the palace.

Zhao Zhong approached, his voice tinged with a distinctive theatrical accent, and with a high-pitched laugh, said, "Who dares to offend Zhang Changshi in the palace? Do they really not want to live anymore?"

"Zhao Zhong, I'm warning you, we're not in a good mood right now."

Immediately, Zhang Rang began to publicize the misdeeds of the previous dynasty's aristocratic families.

"Hey, I thought it was something else?"

Zhao Zhong waved his hand, "Zhang Changshi, you should have thought of this long ago. Cooperating with the gentry is like asking a tiger for its skin."

If they had any conscience, would it be our turn to stand up for them?

Suppress those who can be suppressed to the bitter end; cooperation is nothing more than a facade.

Yes, that's right.

Hearing Zhao Zhong's words, Zhang Rang felt particularly uncomfortable at that moment.

"Isn't this a perfect coincidence?"

His Majesty has established the Eight Colonels of the Western Garden; now he should rely on us more and consider those so-called aristocratic people less.

A deep hatred flashed in Zhang Rang's eyes once again.

Zhao Zhong seemed to think the same way, and after the two of them discussed it, they basically settled the matter, and no matter what others said, they couldn't change it.

The two looked at each other, feeling particularly pleased, as if causing trouble for those aristocratic families was the greatest achievement for them.

This is also the significance of the existence of these eunuchs.

Otherwise, why would His Majesty keep these people around?

They were all just Liu Hong's loyal dogs, meant to teach those blind bastards a lesson for their master.

The master did not get angry.

They all genuinely believed themselves to be superior beings in the Han Dynasty, unaware that they were merely another dog by His Majesty's side, their situations no better than their own.

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong exchanged a glance, and then the cold light in their eyes grew brighter and brighter.

What belongs to them must be theirs, and no one should even think about taking it; anyone who tries to take it will die. In the end, all the eunuchs reached a consensus, and under Zhang Rang's leadership, they were unusually united.

In just a few months, Liu Hong's decree had spread throughout the entire Han Dynasty and also reached Youzhou.

In no time, everyone in Youzhou knew that military and political power had been reshuffled.

In this way, Liu Hong was able to take control of the military and political affairs of a region.

"This time, the aristocratic families have really pushed His Majesty to the limit; otherwise, he would never have done such a thing."

Upon hearing the news early in the morning, Xu Shu rushed to Liu Hong's side, his eyes gleaming and the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

Liu Hong nodded slowly: "I really didn't expect that Emperor Liu Hong would have such courage."

Now, in the selection of generals and soldiers in the court, not only Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun are included, but even I have been promoted and given important positions because of this.

It must be said that the other party did something to their liking, and as a result, the entire Liu family will undoubtedly be able to advance even further in a very short time.

However, all of this was pretty much exactly what Liu Hong had initially imagined, and it was all within his expectations.

"In that case, it's time for the Liu family of Youzhou to properly suppress these Yellow Turban rebels."

First of all, we must establish our power base in Youzhou, a fact that must never be forgotten.

As for the other Yellow Turban and Taiping Dao members around here, it's best to sever all ties that need to be severed on this trip. We absolutely cannot allow this to affect the survival of the entire Liu family, nor can it affect the Liu family's future situation and treatment among the gentry.

Liu Hong spoke with absolute certainty, his words filled with cold-blooded ruthlessness, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Previously, the Taiping Sect and the Liu family of Youzhou had many exchanges, but times have changed, and it is time to sever these exchanges.

Otherwise, if the Liu family of Youzhou were to stand on both the side of the Yellow Turban rebels and the side of His Majesty and the Han Dynasty, the consequences would be far more serious than they could be resolved in a short time once the truth is revealed.

Therefore, evil must be eradicated completely. If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Liu Hong had no choice but to kill him here.

"Yes, Father."

A resolute look flashed in Xu Shu's eyes. Some things can be compromised, but others cannot be yielded on.

He was not the kind of person who was pedantic.

Soon, Xu Shu went down to relay the order.

Bo Cai came to report on the troop deployment. The tens of thousands of troops were already fully prepared and ready to be dispatched at any time to suppress anyone in Youzhou who was associated with the Taiping Dao.

Liu Hong nodded in agreement and told Bo Cai to do it immediately.

It took half a day, and Liu Hong eventually sent out all the manpower, including Liu Yuanqi and Liu Zongran.

In this way, the entire Liu family of Youzhou was put into a state of high-efficiency operation, and all that was left was to wait quietly for the results.

Outside the mansion.

Liu Hong stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with worry.

Beside him, Cui Yan, dressed in white and blue robes, walked over and smiled slightly at Liu Hong: "What is it?"

Is it possible that even Lord Liu is starting to worry now?

Wasn't Lord Liu always confident and resourceful, strategizing from afar?

Cui Yan suddenly joked, and his gaze toward Liu Hong showed genuine surprise.

After all, even he found it hard to believe that the Liu family would develop so quickly one day.

From the small county of Zhuo, to Zhuojun, and then to Guangyang, he assumed the title of governor of a region. Now, the entire Han Dynasty is probably watching the Liu family of Youzhou, which can be said to be standing at the forefront of the storm.

The implications of this are far too significant to be discussed lightly; the impact is far too great.

"Does the Cui family of Qinghe intend to continue placing bets?"

Liu Hong looked at Cui Yan and asked again.

Cui Yan smiled faintly and nodded: "Why not?"

Could it be that now, the dignified governor intends to abandon the entire Cui family?

Could it be that the governor did this intentionally?

Upon hearing this, Cui Yan cast a pitiful glance at him.

Liu Hong simply smiled faintly: "Now, it's not just the Liu family of Youzhou who have no choice; everyone who boarded the ship of the Liu family of Youzhou before probably has no choice at all."

But it was just a smile.

"Alright, now the moment has begun, the moment that will determine the fate of our great clans. I care nothing for the calamity of the Party Prohibitions. All I care about is for my Liu clan of Youzhou to become stronger; nothing else matters to me."

Liu Hong snorted coldly, and only now did he truly display the aura of a warlord in troubled times.

"it is good."

Cui Yan glanced at Liu Hong with a complicated expression, then sighed, nodded heavily, and softly agreed.
