Liu Zhang said: "The eldest brother, the second brother, and the younger brother mean to leave temporarily." There is a truth that everyone understands, only by putting away the fist first, and then hitting it, can it be more powerful and lethal! Now the eldest brother, the second brother, and even me are all serving in the court, although it seems to be prominent for a while, but not even a single soldier can be mobilized, if there is really a change in the capital, what else can we do but sit back and watch? On the contrary, after we return to Yizhou, the situation is completely different, we can go out of the Qinling Mountains and look at the Guanzhong Plain, so that it will greatly deter those who have ill intentions to think twice about everything! ”

Liu Fan said: "If someone really wants to do something rebellious, I am willing to take my last breath to defend the dignity of my big man, and let them see the iron bones of my Liu man!" ”

Liu Zhang said: "The eldest brother sacrifices his life and forgets to die in the Han family, and the younger brother admires it very much, but the younger brother thinks that the eldest brother and the second brother are not really thinking about the Han Dynasty!" Eldest brother and second brother, imagine that our brothers stay in the capital, if there is a change, what can we do except sacrifice in vain? If the descendants of the Liu family all have such an idea, then the rebellious people will all applaud, because they will be happy to wipe out the descendants of the Liu family, once the descendants of the Liu family are killed, and no one will come to revive the Han, they can sit back and relax! Therefore, my brother thought that staying in the capital was a painful thing for relatives and happy for enemies. If the descendants of the Liu family die and the incense of the Han family is cut off, is this loyalty? Definitely! If you really think about the Han Dynasty, you should do your best, Xun Quan's life, as long as there is one of the descendants of the Liu family, the rebellious people will not be able to live in peace, and as long as there is a descendant of the Liu family alive, even if the Han family is destroyed, there is hope for revival. When Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, didn't Emperor Guangwu endure a moment of humiliation, so that my Han family could be revived? If Emperor Guangwu had the idea of the eldest brother and the second brother, I am afraid that the Han dynasty would have been cut off long ago! ”

"But ......" Liu Fan and Liu Yi finally loosened a little, but they were still a little hesitant, and they still seemed to be unable to make up their minds.

Liu Zhang hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said: "What my brother said just now just said that the two brothers were disloyal, and now, my brother has the courage to show his unfilial piety!" The two elder brothers think about it, if we are unwilling to leave the capital, once the capital changes, we are in prison, what should my father do? If my father raises an army to serve the king, the traitor will threaten our lives, and my father will cherish our lives and will not want to break the net with the traitor. If my father fears that we will be killed and does not want to send troops, he will be spurned and scolded as a disloyal person by the whole world. If we let my father be abused by the world, this is not filial piety! Therefore, if the two elder brothers insisted on staying, the younger brother would not dare to disobey, so he had to advance and retreat together with the two elder brothers, but in this way, the name of disloyalty and unfilial piety could not be washed away! ”

Liu Fan and Liu Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly, they were not afraid of death, but they didn't want their younger brother to be in danger, and they didn't want their father to suffer and be ridiculed by the world. Liu Fan took a breath and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you and leave the capital as soon as possible, what about you, second brother?" ”

Liu Wei said: "The fourth brother has said that if you don't leave, you are disloyal and unfilial, and I don't want to be this disloyal and unfilial person, otherwise, the fourth brother may even scold him for being unkind and unrighteous for a while!" ”

Liu Zhang saw that he finally moved the two elder brothers, and listened to the words of the second brother, and couldn't help but look slightly embarrassed: "The younger brother is young and ignorant, and where he is presumptuous, the eldest brother and the second brother are not strange!" ”

Liu Fan said: "You are also good for us, and what you said is very reasonable, how can my second brother and I blame you?" Then you see when we leave, we can hand over the messenger. ”

Liu Zhang hurriedly said: "The eldest brother, the second brother, and the younger brother mean that we left secretly, and now that the capital is about to rain, it's better not to make extraneous expenses!" ”

Since Liu Fan and Liu Wei had decided to leave, they didn't care about these subsections anymore, and nodded in agreement.

Three days later, Liu Zhang found Xun You, and the group pretended to be hunting, straddled horses, carried longbows, and led falcons, surrounded by more than 20 guards, and went to the city gate.

The city gate Sima saw that it was a group of idle sons and brothers, and he didn't dare to ask more, this place in the capital was definitely Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and he pulled one out at random, it was not provoked by his small city gate Sima, in case if he was a noble and arrogant person, it would really be a disaster, and it would be better to have more than one thing.

A group of people left Luoyang in a bright light.

Along the way, everyone beat horses and galloped, and at noon, they arrived at Bishui Pass, which is known as the gateway of Luoyang.

Legend has it that King Mu of Zhou had imprisoned the tiger here, so it was also called the Tiger Prison Pass (Master Luo's Tiger Prison Pass and Bishui Pass are not the same pass). This water is connected to Songshan in the east, the Yellow River in the north, with Songshan as the head, the Yellow River as the tail, and the tiger prison as the waist, just like a moat across Luoyang and the Central Plains, it is really solid, and the name of the Luoyang gateway is well deserved!

Liu Zhang looked up and looked into the distance, only to feel that Songshan was magnificent, Guancheng was majestic and solid, the mountain wind blew, and the Chinese character flag with a radius of nine feet on a flagpole more than five zhang long on Guancheng flew in the wind and hunted soundly.

Standing in front of the pass, looking at the fluttering Chinese character flag, a sense of pride was born, Liu Zhang secretly swore to the Chinese character flag that he would do his best to revitalize the Han family, and return the people to a stable and prosperous life as soon as possible.

Bishui Pass is located in the place where the east and west want to rush, people come like a shuttle, there is only one case next to the three gates, there is a bamboo basket on it, regardless of the agricultural business, want to go out of the customs, each person must pay ten yuan, if there is a carriage, mule cart, but also to add twenty yuan, want to "evade taxes", the dozens of soldiers at the gate are not decorations, but those who dare to "resist the law", first hit and then fine, no money? Find dead or alive!

Xun You sighed: "The taxes are so heavy, and the people are safe...... Alas, the Yellow Turban Rebellion is also a last resort! ”

Xu Huang said: "Mr. Gongda has been in the capital for a long time, maybe I don't know, this poll tax is the same all over the world, when I was in my hometown, I heard a merchant in the neighborhood once said, once he pulled a mule cloth to Yecheng to sell, back and forth less than 600 miles, layers of poll tax has been paid dozens of times, back to the hometown to count, a car of cloth actually only got more than five money, half a penny did not earn, but also put in more than two times! ”

Man Zhong said: "It used to be better, but after the Yellow Turban Rebellion started, the Taishou everywhere wantonly levied all kinds of taxes in the name of protecting the territory and the people, and there were more than 30 kinds of names, called buying weapons and preparing the army, but in fact, all of them went into the pockets of the officials themselves!" ”

"My Han officials have fallen to the ground, and the world is not in chaos?" Xun You sighed.

Liu Fan also scolded: "It is these pillar worms that knock on the bones and suck the marrow, so that the Han Dynasty is in the wind and rain, if you want to revive the Han Dynasty, you must ban these harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and you must reform the official system, otherwise the flesh and blood of the Han Dynasty will be swallowed by them sooner or later, and there will be no scum left!" ”

Liu Zhang suddenly remembered a couplet he had seen before about the Republic of China, and couldn't help but read: "Long live the Han Dynasty, the world is peaceful!" ”

Everyone looked at Liu Zhang curiously, even if he was a descendant of the Han family, there was no need to sing praises for the Han Dynasty against his will!

Liu Zhang smiled and said: "This tax is not the age of the year, but the tax of the 'tax', and the level is not the peace of the 'peace', or the poverty of the poor!" ”

Xun You said: "What Gongzi said is the Han Wan's 'tax', and the world is too 'poor'!" ”
