Chapter Seventy-Seven: Supporting Anti-Recklessness
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
"Uh...... This time I came in a hurry, and I have to send the letter first in the future. ”
Seeing that Liu Xiu seemed to have something unspeakable, Deng Chen thoughtfully didn't ask any more, he waved his hand to Zhu You and the others, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, sit down!" ”
As he spoke, he looked at Liu Xiu and said with a smile: "Ah Xiu came to Xinye this time, but he has to stay for a short time. ”
Liu Xiu nodded and said embarrassedly: "Brother-in-law, I'm going to make trouble for you this time." ”
"Hey, the family doesn't talk to each other. I have already sent someone to the backyard to inform your second sister, and your second sister will come over later. ”
Liu Xiu smiled, turned his head and nodded to Zhu You, Gai Yan, and Long Yuan, and the three of them understood, and took off the package they were carrying, opened it, and sent it to Deng Chen.
The latter was stunned and looked at Liu Xiu in puzzlement. Liu Xiu said with a smile: "These are all gifts prepared for me by my eldest brother, brother-in-law, please accept them." ”
Liu Xiu was honest, he didn't say that the gift was brought by himself, and bluntly said that the eldest brother prepared it for him. Deng Chen laughed, he liked Liu Xiu's honest and unfalse personality.
He looked down at the gifts in the three packages, including gold and silver jewelry, jade, and some local specialties in Caiyang, this gift was not cheap.
Deng Chen looked at it, shook his head and said, "Big brother is too polite, Ah Xiu, you are too polite." When you come to live at your brother-in-law's house, what gift do you bring? ”
Liu Xiu took the teacup that Jia Ding received, grunted, drank it dry, he gasped comfortably, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I told my eldest brother that I don't need to bring so many gifts, but my eldest brother didn't listen, and I couldn't help it." ”
Deng Chen understands Liu Xuan, a straightforward person, who doesn't hide his hypocrisy, if he doesn't accept what he gives you, it will be tantamount to rolling up his face, and it will only make him unhappy. He smiled and said, "Okay, my brother-in-law accepted these gifts." ”
As they spoke, a series of footsteps came from the side door of the lobby, and then the curtain was raised, and a group of people walked out of it. The first beautiful young woman to come out was Liu Xiu's second sister, Liu Yuan.
Behind her, there was also a group of little beans, who were the children of Deng Chen and Liu Yuan.
"Ah Xiu!" Seeing Liu Xiu, Liu Yuan exclaimed in surprise, and walked quickly with red circles in his eyes.
Liu Xiu hurriedly stood up from the slump, bowed to Liu Yuan, and said, "Second sister." ”
The two sisters and brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, and they can't help but get emotional.
Liu Yuan took Liu Xiu's hand, looked him up and down carefully, and felt that Liu Xiu had changed a lot.
As he grew taller, he became more energetic, and his skin was much whiter than before, exuding an air of wealth. After seeing it, Liu Yuan's tears fell and he sighed: "It seems that my uncle didn't treat Ah Xiu badly!" ”
She didn't know that most of Liu Xiu's changes came from taking gold liquid, and she only thought that he was well raised in Liu Liang's house.
Liu Xiu didn't explain much, nodded to Liu Yuanhan with a smile, and said, "Second sister, don't you think I'm very good, why are you crying?" ”
"The second sister is happy...... "Having said that, Liu Yuan's tears fell like short-term pearls. Deng Chen was distressed when he watched from the side, and he said to the children on the side: "Come and see my little uncle!" ”
The five children timidly came to Liu Xiu's approach, lined up, bowed in unison, and said in unison: "Little uncle." ”
Liu Xiu looked at the two boys and smiled at the older ones: "You are Fan'er!" Then he said to the younger one: "You are Tang'er!" ”
The younger boy was puzzled and asked, "How does my uncle know my name?" ”
Not only Liu Xiu laughed, but Deng Chen and Liu Yuan were also amused. Liu Yuan touched the top of Deng Tang's head and said, "When you were young, your little uncle hugged you!" ”
Deng Tang is the youngest son of Deng Chen and Liu Yuan, and he is also deeply loved by the couple.
Don't look at Deng Tang's age, only three or four years old, but he is very clever and knows how to fight snakes with sticks. He stretched out his two little arms and said to Liu Xiu crisply: "Little uncle, hug!" ”
Liu Xiu laughed and picked up Deng Tang, and raised him so high, and the little guy yelled excitedly.
After Liu Xiu played with a few little dolls for a while, Deng Chen asked his subordinates to take the children back to the backyard, and then sent out all the subordinates present.
At this time, only Liu Xiu, Zhu You, Gai Yan, Long Yuan, Deng Chen, Liu Yuan and his wife were left in the hall.
Deng Chen was the first to cut to the chase and asked, "Ah Xiu, I heard that a while ago, you and your eldest brother joined the rebel army and went to Yizhou. ”
Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Yes, brother-in-law." ”
Liu Yuan sighed and said resentfully: "Big brother has always been willful in doing things, Ah Xiu, why are you messing around with your eldest brother, is it child's play to fight?" It's such a big person, and it's still not worry-free. ”
Deng Chen said: "Since your second sister heard that you and your eldest brother went to fight in Yizhou, she has not been able to eat well and sleep well these days, for fear that you and your eldest brother will have a mistake in Yizhou." ”
Liu Xiu's heart warmed, and he bowed to Liu Yuan and Deng Chen, and said, "Xiu has worried the second sister and brother-in-law. ”
Deng Chen held Liu Yuan's hand, smiled at Liu Xiu, and said, "It's good to come back safely, and we will all be relieved." After a pause, he asked, "Is there anything to gain when I come back from Yizhou this time?" ”
are all real relatives, Liu Xiu has nothing to hide from Deng Chen and the second sister. He said: "When we were exterminating the barbarian army, we seized a sum of money, about a million dollars. ”
When Deng Chen and Liu Yuan heard this, they were both secretly surprised, and the latter couldn't help but exclaim: "There is so much money......
"It's no wonder that after the eldest brother returned to Chungling, he solicited guests everywhere, and even many people here in Xinye rushed to Chungling when they heard the news." Deng Chen was not too surprised by this. In the past, although Liu Jiu loved to make friends, after all, his family background was not thick and his financial resources were limited, so he did not reach the point of recruiting customers. But since he returned to Chungling from Yizhou, there has been a great change from before, as long as someone comes to vote, he will not refuse to come, and all of them will be included in the door, so Deng Chen is determined
, Liu Xiu and Liu Xiu must have gained a lot when they came back from Yizhou, but he didn't expect Liu Xiu and Liu Xiu to be able to bring back millions of money from Yizhou.
Deng Chen cleared his throat and asked word by word: "What does the eldest brother want to solicit customers with such fanfare?" ”
Zhu You, Gai Yan, Long Yuan, and Liu Yuan's eyes fell on Liu Xiu in unison. Liu Xiu only groaned slightly, and said: "Wait for the opportunity, the incident will be reckless!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Yuan's face suddenly changed. Liu Yuan can guess the eldest brother's thoughts, but when he heard the younger brother say such a thing in person, Liu Yuan was still shocked.
After all, this is not a trivial matter, it is to rise up, it is to raise an army to rebel.
Deng Chen's eyes flickered, and he said slowly: "Reckless? Ah Xiu, this big event, you can't laugh at it, let alone take it lightly. ”
Liu Xiu said: "Brother-in-law, I didn't laugh, my eldest brother didn't ignore me, let alone ignore reckless things!" Wang Mang is not good, the people are not happy, the world is in chaos, people are thinking about Han, and we are the sons and daughters of the clan, so we should shoulder the heavy responsibility, overthrow the reckless thieves, restore the Han Dynasty, and save the world from fire and water. ”
Liu Yuan didn't expect that his little brother, who had always been honest, would say such a thing, and his face was full of surprise. Deng Chen and Liu Xiu looked at each other for a moment, and said quietly: "Success is good, if you fail, you will never recover." ”
Liu Xiu said: "Even if you are broken bones, you will die without regrets!" When Deng Chen heard this, he didn't say much, he stood up, arched his hand to Liu Xiu, gave a deep salute, and said in a loud voice: "Wei Qing is not talented, but he also knows what the right way is!" Now Wang Mang usurped the throne, the world is alive, displaced, starving everywhere, such a troubled world, all people of insight should stand up,
Fight hard, Wei Qing is willing to follow the eldest brother and Ah Xiu, and follow the work of dogs and horses! ”
Speaking of which, Deng Chen's dissatisfaction with Wang Mang has not been a day or two.
After Wang Mang ascended the throne, he proposed a number of new policies, one of which was land reform, the implementation of the royal land system, and the state-owned land of the whole country was divided into the state and distributed equally among individuals.
If there are no more than eight males in the family, the land owned by them shall not exceed 900 mu.
It sounds like a very good policy, and it has dealt a heavy blow to the landlord class, but when it is actually implemented, it is not like that at all.
Wang Mang's clan relatives and cronies, officials and relatives of the imperial court, and local officials and relatives took advantage of this opportunity to wantonly annex the land in the hands of the peasants, so that the ruling class could sit on thousands of hectares of fertile land, while the peasants at the bottom even lost the little land that belonged to them for a living.
The Deng family was also greatly affected. Although the Deng family has ancestors who were officials, but that was before, the current Deng family only belongs to ordinary wealthy families and landlords, and a lot of land that originally belonged to them has been confiscated by the government and divided up by those in power, and the whole family is also in decline.
The new policy implemented by Wang Mang has an existential contradiction with the Deng family.
At that time, the Deng family was by no means an exception, many big families like the Deng family were deprived of their land, and they hated Wang Mang so much that they itched their teeth, as long as the anti-Wang Mang forces became a little more climate, these families immediately gave the greatest support.
It's just that among the current anti-Wang Mang forces, the strongest is the peasant rebel army, such as the Red Eyebrow Army, the Green Forest Army, the Bronze Horse Army, etc., especially the Red Eyebrow Army, which has developed into more than 100,000 people, directly threatening Luoyang and Chang'an, and shocking the world. However, there is also a fundamental contradiction between the landlord class like the Deng family and the peasant rebel army, and it is impossible for Deng Chen to join the peasant rebel army to oppose Wang Mang, so when Deng Chen heard that Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu brothers were going to raise troops against Wang Mang and restore the Han family, he confirmed that the two brothers were not messing around.
But after careful consideration, he immediately expressed his support and was willing to join the Liu brothers to resist Wang Mang together.
In fact, Deng Chen's decision is not difficult to understand, and it is the inevitable result of the contradiction between the ruling class and the landlord class at that time after it intensified to the point of irresolvability. No one is right or wrong, but the truth is, either you die or I die.
Seeing Deng Chen's statement, Liu Xiu was also stunned for a moment before reacting, he hurriedly got up, bowed to Deng Chen in return, and said: "With the help of my brother-in-law, the Zhutian Capital Department is bound to be like a tiger!" ”
Deng Chen asked puzzledly, "Zhutian Capital Division?" ”
Liu Xiu smiled and said: "The eldest brother has established the Zhutiandu Department in Yizhou, ......" Immediately, Liu Xiu told Deng Chen about the recruitment of Ma Wu, Cho Period and other green forest troops in Yizhou.
Although they didn't have personal experience, just listening to Liu Xiu's narration, Deng Chen and Liu Yuan's hearts rose and fell from time to time, and their expressions were sometimes frowning and worried, and sometimes showing joy.
After Liu Xiu finished speaking, Deng Chen stroked his palms excitedly and said: "Great, we have hidden these thousand cavalry in Yizhou, and at the critical moment, we will definitely be able to achieve a surprising victory!" Looking at the excited husband, Liu Yuan gently took his hand. Deng Chen held Liu Yuan's hand and said meaningfully: "Madam, for the sake of husband, I want to fight against the eldest brother and Ah Xiu, I don't know what Mrs. is willing to ......."
