Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Waiting for Xu Xiling and Hua Feiyan to exit the room, Liu Xiu walked up to Yin Lihua and said softly: "This time, Lihua doesn't have to go with me. ”

Yin Lihua smiled and said, "It's Lihua who wants to go with her husband." ”

Liu Xiu held Yin Lihua's hand, rubbing the fingers of his thumb back and forth on the back of her hand, and after a while, he said, "I plan to canonize Lihua." ”

This is the first time that Liu Xiu has proposed to Yin Lihua about the matter of the seal, Yin Lihua was shocked, and the words that Xu Xiling had said to her naturally sounded in her head.

She held Liu Xiu's hand and said: "During Ah Xiu's campaign in Hebei, Lihua has been in Nanyang, and Ah Xiu's side is Sister Guo. ”

Liu Xiu's face was straight, and he said in a deep voice: "I am the Son of Heaven, and the decision of the Son of Heaven does not need anyone's consent!" Yin Lihua held Liu Xiu's hand tighter, and said movingly: "But Ah Xiu's foundation is all fought together with the ministers of the court. Now that Axiu's foundation is not stable, how can he divide with the ministers because of the things that will be established

What about ambiguity? ”

Liu Xiu was happy and said indignantly: "After the establishment, who is the queen, this is my housework, what do I have to do with others?" ”

Yin Lihua said: "The queen is the mother of a country, and she is related to everyone. If the queen cannot serve the public, it will not only damage the queen's prestige, but also the prestige of the Son of Heaven. Ah Xiu, don't do it impulsively! ”

If what Xu Xiling said was just her words, then now, Liu Xiu's performance is enough to show how much resistance there is to her.

If this matter was really easy and easy to do, then Liu Xiu would not have said such things in front of her and behaved so angrily.

Listening to Yin Lihua's words, Liu Xiu's heart was even more upside down, and her five tastes were dull. Even if he didn't say it, he knew everything in his heart that he owed too much to Yin Lihua.

When she was most frustrated and depressed, Yin Lihua did not dislike herself, and was willing to marry him to help him get out of the darkest trough of his life.

But he didn't give Yin Lihua anything at all, didn't let her enjoy happiness, and didn't let her live a comfortable life, but instead stayed alone in the empty house for two years.

Now that he has become the Son of Heaven, he can't even do such a thing after Liyin Lihua, is it too useless for him, the Son of Heaven?

He took a deep breath, held Yin Lihua's little hand tighter, and said, "Lihua rest assured, the queen's candidate, besides Lihua, there will be no second person." "Never!" Yin Lihua was so anxious that she waved her hand again and again, and said: "If Sister Guo is not pregnant, Ah Xiu will make me the queen, and I can still accept it, but now that Sister Guo is pregnant, Ah Xiu will insist on making me the queen, and she will definitely give birth to a lot of right and wrong.

I don't know how many people will have to talk behind their backs. ”

"Lihua—"

"This matter, Ah Xiu wants to listen to me!" Yin Lihua's attitude was very firm, no matter what Liu Xiu said, she insisted on refusing to accept the matter after the seal, which made Liu Xiu feel helpless and cherish Yin Lihua more and more. Two days later, on the official road outside Huaicheng City, two carriages came, the people sitting in the first carriage were Liu Xiu and Li Tong, the people sitting in the second carriage were Yin Lihua, Xu Xiling and Hua Feiyan, and the guards around the carriage were Long Yuan and Long

Quasi, Longxiao, Xuying, Xufei, Xuting and others.

There were not many of them, they were all dressed in civilian clothes, and at first glance, they were no different from the people from wealthy families.

From the area controlled by Liu Xiu, the road to Pingyuan County in Qingzhou was not too difficult, otherwise, Liu Xiu would not have gone in person, let alone Yin Lihua.

Jizhou is Youzhou to the north, Bingzhou to the west, Sili region to the southwest, Yanzhou to the south and southeast, and Qingzhou to the east.

The Pingyuan County of Qingzhou is just bordering Qinghe County of Jizhou, only separated by a Yellow River in the middle, and Pingyuan City, the county seat of Pingyuan County, is just near the junction of the two states, located on the edge of the Yellow River.

Liu Xiu took the route of Qinghe County, Jizhou, to Pingyuan City, the county seat of Pingyuan County, which was quite convenient, if there was danger, it was also after he crossed the Yellow River and entered Pingyuan City.

This time he went to Pingyuan City, Liu Xiu also happened to make a private visit to the area he was passing by, and saw with his own eyes how the people at the bottom were doing, how the thieves were in various places, and how the local officials were governed.

Liu Xiu's crusade in the east and west in the Hebei region and the continuous attacks on the rebel army were quite effective, and at least the situation in the ten villages and nine emptiness had been greatly improved.

In the past, many peasants who participated in the rebel army were released back to their hometowns after being captured alive by Liu Xiujun. These people returned to their homes and began to cultivate again, and many of the fields that had been abandoned were now able to see crops again.

Liu Xiu is still quite happy and proud of this. When passing through Wei County, Liu Xiu was in a high-spirited mood, and Yin Lihua each rode a horse and walked side by side.

He pointed to the crops on the side of the road and said happily: "In the past, the cultivated land here has been abandoned, and the people in the village have disappeared without a trace, but now, someone has finally come back to farm!" ”

Looking at the smile on Liu Xiu's face, Yin Lihua was also happy and said, "This is all the credit of Ah Xiu!" ”

Liu Xiu looked back and smiled, waved his hand, and said meaningfully: "If there is a life to live, who else is willing to rebel with his head and live a life of licking blood from the knife edge." ”

Since he became emperor, he has issued several edicts to free slaves and stipulate that anyone who arbitrarily kills or injures slaves can be punished.

Liu Xiu's policy seems to be no different from Wang Mang's, which is to abolish slavery.

However, the implementation of one policy of the imperial court did not exist in isolation, and Wang Mang's policy of abolishing slaves led to the increase in the number of slaves in the whole country rather than decreasing, due to the unfavorable implementation of other policies.

Many people at the bottom can't live, what should they do? It is just to sell wives and children, and to be sold into slavery.

In so many rebellious rebels across the country, the slaves were a large group. Wang Mang is bent on abolishing slaves, but the most anti-Wang Mang is precisely slaves, I have to say, this is too ironic.

Liu Xiuzheng learned the lesson of Wang Mang's reign, and while abolishing slaves, he divided the fields and greatly reduced taxes, so that as long as the people were willing to work, they could not only live, but also live well.

In this way, the labor force of the whole society will be fully mobilized, farming will be fully revived, and all the abandoned industries will gradually recover.

At present, Wei County, and even the entire Jizhou, Youzhou, as well as Hanoi, Hedong, and Henan, have undergone earth-shaking changes, which is reasonable.

Seeing the resumption of cultivation of large tracts of fertile land, Liu Xiu was in a good mood and turned around and beckoned to the back. Li Tong and Long Yuan urged forward and said in unison: "Childe! ”

Liu Xiu asked, "Where is the place ahead?" ”

Long Yuan said: "In front is the pavilion pottery. ”

Liu Xiu sighed, and smiled at Yin Lihua beside him: "At the beginning, our army defeated the copper horse in Guantao, and between Guantao and Qingyuan, persuaded 200,000 people to surrender the bronze horse!" ”

It was also after this battle that Liu Xiu had the reputation of 'Bronze Horse Emperor'.

Looking at the pride on Liu Xiu's face, Yin Lihua was also honored. She said: "In this battle, although Lihua is not by her husband's side, she can also imagine that this battle is magnificent. ”

Li Tong asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty at that time...... Childe's army does not have 200,000, how can he force the 200,000 bronze horse army to surrender? ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "In this battle, Jun Ran has made a lot of contributions!" ”

Since Cen Peng took refuge in Liu Xiu, he has not made many shots, but every time he makes a move, it can have a miraculous effect.

He persuaded Qingyuan City to surrender, causing the Bronze Horse Army to be cornered and could only surrender to Liu Xiujun; Cen Peng entered Luoyang City alone and persuaded Zhu Kun to surrender, and the 200,000 Luoyang troops led by Zhu Kun surrendered to Liu Xiu.

With only these two things, I don't know how many casualties Liu Xiujun has lost, and how many new forces have been added? Liu Xiu's world relied on these profitable subordinates to fight down little by little.

As they were walking forward, they saw a large number of people gathered on the road ahead. Not knowing what was going on in front of her, Liu Xiu said to Yin Lihua: "Lihua, you go back to the car first." ”

Yin Lihua looked ahead, and said with some concern: "Husband, be careful!" ”

"Hmm!" Liu Xiu nodded, watching Yin Lihua sit back in the carriage, and he continued to urge the horse forward.

On the road, there was a group of men armed with spears and sticks blocking the road, led by a person with dark skin, a beard, short eyebrows, standing upward, and a pair of large ringed eyes below, flashing with an aggressive and fierce light. The black-faced man stood in the middle of the road with his hands on his waist, shouting at the people who were blocked from the road: "Our five school army has always helped the people fight the official army, we are working hard with the official army, do you have to have money to pay."

, powerful force, huh? ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a farmer in sackcloth and linen pants and said, "You, would you like to join our Fifth School Army?" ”

The farmer was transporting grain to Guantao City to sell. Seeing the black-faced man pointing at him, he shrank his neck in fright and retreated again and again. Now Liu Xiu is called the emperor, Hebei here is implemented Liu Xiu's policy, the government levies a very low tax, the people after paying the tax, the rest of the harvest can be completely self-sufficient, and there is surplus grain to sell, for some daily necessities

Supplies needed. Since you have a stable and good life to live, why do you want to join the rebel army to fight with the government?

Seeing that the cropper man was retreating vigorously, the black-faced man was not angry, he stepped forward quickly, kicked the cropper man to the ground, and scolded angrily: "Useless thing! ”

As he spoke, he shouted to the left and right, "Take it down and bring it over!" ”

As he spoke, two big men immediately approached the farmer, pulled him up from the ground, and dragged him to the side of the road.

On the side of the road, there were dozens of young people dressed as ordinary people sitting on the ground, and there were several men with spears around them watching them.

After Liu Xiu became emperor in Hebei, the number of people willing to join the rebel army had been greatly reduced, but within the rebel army, deserters continued to appear.

In order to maintain their own troops, the rebel army also had to adopt tough measures and capture strong men everywhere to replenish their own troops.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, this kind of thing is common in Hebei, but it is the first time that Liu Xiu and his party happened to bump into it.

After seeing what was going on, Li Tong was furious and said in a low voice: "Childe, these thieves are reckless, they are simply lawless and hateful!" ”

It turned out that they were all remnants of the Fifth School Army! Liu Xiu narrowed her eyes.

At the beginning, there were hundreds of thousands of people in the Fifth School Army, and in Shanggu County, they were severely injured by Geng Quan once, and later in Zhending, they were severely injured by Jia Fu again, and now the strength of the Five School Army is not as good as before.

The remnants of their troops fled to the vicinity of Wei County and Qinghe County, and their behavior was not restrained compared with before, but became more and more tyrannical, looting everywhere, and they used to only rob money and grain, but now they even rob people. The black-faced man turned his gaze to another farmer dressed like a villager. The man wore a hat and a cloak that covered most of his face, revealing only the tip of his nose and his resolute jaw. The black-faced man approached him, looked him up and down, tapped the hat on his head with the scabbard, and asked, "What about you?" Would you like to join our Fifth School Army? ”
