Chapter 160: Liu Yan dies, and Xuewu ascends to the throne
At this time, another five years have passed since Liu Xuewu's water control, and it can be said that Liu Xuewu did not directly attack Dongwu in the five years after the success of water control. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Instead, we will let it go, and vigorously strengthen internal reforms. First of all, the major states and counties carried out large-scale personnel transfers, on the one hand, they began to promote the township system, and of course, in order to replace the old regional system, Liu Xuewu converted the cities in the township system into counties that were easy to accept. Although the scope of those states and counties was revised at once, the interests of those families were touched at once. But now Liu Xuewu's reputation is in full swing in the hearts of the people, coupled with the domineering behavior with heavy troops, after performing an iron-blooded trick to teach a lesson, those families have quieted down.
It's okay if you don't reform the measurement, and a lot of hidden land and fertile land that are usually occupied by the families have been measured. Liu Xuewu recycled the extra land and disposed of it, and many people who had nothing could work for the government as old OEM, and then the government would distribute a certain proportion of remuneration to them, so that they gradually got rid of the status of serfs in the landlord's family. Then Liu Xuewu issued a series of new policies, such as no human trafficking, no suicide, and so on.
But today is different from the past, Yizhou came to 800 miles of urgency, thousands of miles of Mercedes-Benz funeral. Eighty-year-old Liu Yan couldn't sleep at all when he was napping, and he didn't have the slightest pain, and suddenly even his sons couldn't see their dying side. The old lady informed the three of them to return to Yizhou, and when this kind of thing happened, Liu Xuewu had no choice but to throw all the things at hand to Zhuge Liang, and he took his wife and children to Yizhou.
After more than a month of traveling, Liu Xuewu ran and killed five or six horses, and finally arrived at the Yizhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion.
"Third brother, you're finally here." Liu Zhang saw Liu Xuewu who broke in in a hurry, and just shouted quietly.
When Liu Xuewu entered the door, he saw the eldest brother and the third brother sitting in the hall, but they didn't see their mother. Looking at Liu Xuewu's anxious face, the eldest Liu Fan stood up and shouted at the screen behind him: "Xuewu, please come to my mother." ”
"Yes." Two maids stood behind the screen, and with a word of agreement, they turned and walked to the back hall.
After a while, a maid walked out of the back hall and said to Liu Xuewu and the three brothers: "The old woman has invited the three princes to meet in the ancestral temple. ”
As soon as they talked about the ancestral temple, everyone couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts. At this time, the three brothers all knew what to do next, as early as half a month ago, Liu Yan's funeral presided over by the boss Liu Fan, and the old father did not speak. When the fourth Liu Zhang arrived two days ago, the old lady only saw him in the hall. Now that Liu Xuewu has just returned, the old lady proposed to go to the ancestral temple. This shows that everything is based on Liu Xuewu as the protagonist, when this brother is the third brother, they all understand something in their hearts, but they all have their own thoughts.
You must know that the incident of the trouble between the brothers has happened from time to time since ancient times, and the reason for this makes the three brothers have to be cautious.
Sure enough, when the three brothers stepped into the ancestral temple. The old lady spoke: "You kneel down and kowtow to the ancestors of the Han royal family." ”
The three brothers did as they were told, and the eldest knelt down in a proper manner, and stood up when he was thirsty. The fourth Liu Zhang kowtowed three times in a row and stood up, but Liu Xuewu kowtowed but didn't get up, but shouted: "The ancestors and ancestors on the top, Liu Xuewu, the descendants of Xiao, recently presented it." ”
The old lady looked at it and nodded, and took out a yellow brocade from her sleeve. As soon as this cloth brocade came out, the three brothers couldn't help but feel that their eyes were bright, this cloth brocade was extraordinary. It is woven by the thousand-year-old silk, which is commonly known as the heavenly silk, which is invulnerable, hard when it encounters water, and melts when it encounters fire. It is the first treasure in Shu, but now it is as big as a handkerchief, so what is written on it is very important.
I saw the old lady holding this silk brocade and chattering: "Today, the son of the Liu family, I am fortunate to be born in the emperor's house, and I met Lu Longen to receive a state pastor." In order to repay the grace of the former emperor, I sat in Shuzhong and worked diligently all my life, but unfortunately every year, my Han was in the wind and swaying. It's a pity that I have no power to return to heaven, and I can't shelter my big man, and I can't help it. Fortunately, he has four sons under his knees, and he is very talented. The boss is honest and honest, good at benevolent government; The second child accumulated a lot of money, turned to the princes, and established a foundation to protect the peace of a state; The third child is talented, has extraordinary military achievements, and defends the territory to live up to my Han descendants; The fourth is brave and brave and good at fighting, but he can also be regarded as a general. I have four sons in my life, and I have no regrets, and I make this will now. I'm afraid of the disaster of Xiao Qiang in the past! Now I think about it again and again, considering that the boss of the troubled times is safe but lacks great ambition; The second child unfortunately died young; The fourth child is a reckless person who is not a minister, and finally decided to hand it over to the third child after a hundred years, hoping to be disappointed. ”
At this moment, Liu Xuewu became the heir of this large family business. Of course, even if there is no positive Liu Xuewu is still the speaker of various states and counties, but with this will, there will be no estrangement between the three brothers, and there is no need to be suspicious of each other.
Liu Yan can be regarded as very thoughtful, and the rule of kings in ancient times was justified and righteous. And this will can save Liu Xuewu a lot of means and troubles, and with this will, even if Liu Xuewu wants to ascend the throne as the emperor now, it is logical. It's a pity that the current Liu Xuewu doesn't have such thoughts, and now the Han Dynasty has not yet been unified, and Jiangdong and Dongwu are still based on one side. This piece has long been Liu Xuewu's heart disease, although Sun Ce and Liu Zhang are sworn brothers, but now standing in their respective positions, there is no other choice at all. Therefore, as soon as the three-year period of filial piety passed, Liu Zhang and Liu Xuewu asked for orders to go south to conquer Eastern Wu. Originally, Liu Xuewu wanted to avoid Liu Zhang, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to ask for battle.
In fact, Liu Zhang's thoughts are very simple, on one side is his own brother, on the other side is his sworn brother, and the scene of death on both sides is not what Liu Zhang wants to see. The reason why he took the initiative to ask for war was mainly due to two considerations, the first was that he still had a trace of luck in his heart, hoping that with his own relationship, he could make Dongwu surrender. In this way, it is possible to recover Jiangdong and unify the Han Dynasty without bloodshed. Second, even if the negotiation is not appropriate, he can still bring down his sworn brother at the moment of crisis. With his own guarantee, the third brother Liu Xuewu will sell himself a face. Based on the above two points, Liu Zhang can achieve his goal, but the result of defeat is directly ignored by him, and there is no word defeat in his mind at all, although he has been defeated many times.
