The rebellion in Guangxi's fourth year was finally ended in the form of a farce.

In fact, when describing this rebellion, many historians of later generations unanimously believe that the rebellion launched by the Yuan clan despite the considerable difference in strength between the Yuan clan and the Guangxi Emperor Liu Wei was just hitting the stone with an egg.

From beginning to end, Liu Wei controlled and guided the development of the rebellion. Yuan Kui and Liu Wei were completely confrontation on two different levels, so the damage caused by this rebellion was not great. Compared to the epic wars and thrilling power struggles that took place later in the Guangxi era, this rebellion does seem a little insignificant.

Many historical sources in later generations do not write much about this rebellion, and some are even vague. More descriptions are also like "a futile rebellion by a group of desperate people." Compared with this rebellion, it was the purge that was carried out on this ground that really attracted the attention of later historians.

Later generations of scholars have received mixed reviews and controversy about this purge. Left-wing views believe that the purge dealt a blow to the arrogant momentum of land annexation by the big landlords in the Sili area, and laid a solid foundation for future land reform. Right-wing viewholders, on the other hand, believe that the purge launched by Liu Wei is essentially an ugly drama of forcible seizure. The purge began as a target for the Yuan clan who had participated in the rebellion, but soon expanded into a political movement against the landlord class throughout the Sili region. The primitive accumulation of agrarian reform was completed through a series of violent means.

At any time, later generations of scholars had their own opinions, but they all agreed that after this purge, Liu Wei's ** imperial power was greatly strengthened, and the entire Sili region was "smooth and unhindered".

Of course, before the Great Purge begins, it is still necessary to settle the matter of the current Yuan rebellion.

In the early morning of the second day of the night of the rebellion, Huang Wan was called by Liu Wei to the Nangong Jiade Palace. As a member of the imperial history, he has the responsibility of impeaching and picketing hundreds of officials. As for the handling of the Yuan rebellion, he naturally couldn't stay out of it.

It's just that as soon as Huang Wan entered the Jiade Palace, his heart sank. The Son of Heaven has gathered many cronies and important ministers around him, Prime Minister Lu Zhi, Great Judicial Ying Shao, President Shi Jiaxu, Director of Propaganda Shi Weiyi, Military General Xun You, Hubu Shangshu Xun Yu, and even the pale and sick general Huangfu Song and the white-bodied Guo Jia, the only thing that is not is Yang Biao, who is a sub-prime minister.

As the country's prime minister, he was not called by the Son of Heaven to discuss such a big event as the Yuan rebellion, which actually shows that Yang Biao has fallen out of favor and been excluded.

Yuan Kui is completely finished, and there is no need to win over Yang Biao as a means to contain Yuan Kui in the court. As a former auxiliary minister, even if Yang Biao's power is not as huge as Yuan Kui's, he still feels that it is in the way in Liu Wei's eyes.

Yang Biao would have such treatment, in fact, it was not too surprising to Huang Wan. However, what really bothered him was that the Son of Heaven only called himself to come.

Huang Wan was imprisoned by the party's scourge that year, but he was released thanks to Yang Biao's father, Yang Ci, who campaigned for him many times, and later recommended him to join the court as an official. The Yang family has a great favor to Huang Wan, so he will be the head of the Yang family.

However, judging from today's situation, the Son of Heaven called him alone to let him cut off Yang Biao. Of course, the choice is still in Huang Wan's hands, if he chooses a path to go to the dark with Yang Biao, the Son of Heaven doesn't mind that he and Yang Biao are finished together.

Almost instantly, Huang Wan thought everything clearly. He was stunned in front of the porch of the Garter Hall for a moment, but finally walked in.

"Minister, Huang Wan in the imperial history, please see Your Majesty." Huang Wan stepped forward and saluted and said.

Liu Wei got up and returned the salute and said, "Huang Zhongcheng came at the right time!" Yuan rebelled and betrayed the country, and my heart was like numbness, and Huang Zhongcheng came here to relieve my worries. ”

"The minister heard that Yang Xiang was sick, did His Majesty ask him to come with him?" Huang Wan finally mentioned Yang Biao, which can be regarded as making a final effort for Yang's kindness.

Liu Wei's face sank, and he said coldly: "Since Yang Xiang is sick, don't call him." ”

Huang Wan stopped talking, at this time he had already done his duty, and if he didn't know the current affairs, he could only put himself in.

Huang Wan showed a deferential attitude, which made Liu Wei very satisfied, and continued: "Before Huang Zhongcheng came, Lu Gong and Zhongxian had already drafted some opinions on how to deal with Yuan Yi, you can refer to them together......"

Huang Wan stayed in the Jiade Hall for a whole day, and his opinions on the handling of Yuan Kui and other traitors to the party were finally decided under the deliberation of everyone.

In line with the logic of the rights of the victor, the prince, the loser, and the thief, Yuan Kui was naturally beaten into a "traitor through the ages" and "a scum of the world who is inferior to a dog", and was splashed with a lot of sewage.

In the smear of Yuan Kui, Wei Yi's propaganda bureau assumed the main offensive firepower. Soon after the rebellion was extinguished, the Propaganda Department presented Liu Wei with an article to be published in a special issue of the Luoyang Times, exposing Yuan Kui's crimes.

Liu Wei read it with interest.

“…… The Yuan family has been deeply favored by the emperor for generations, and has served as the third prince many times, and Yuan Kui himself is deeply trusted and promoted by today's son. However, Yuan Kui, who was deeply gracious to the emperor, did not want to serve the Son of Heaven wholeheartedly, but instead used the trust of the Son of Heaven to form a party in the court for personal gain, and installed cronies everywhere. Such behavior has lost the minimum conscience and morality of human beings. Moreover, for the sake of his own corrupt life, Yuan Kui embezzled and took bribes, forcibly seized a large area of land, causing many kind-hearted people to be ruined, and even for his own sinister intentions, Yuan Kui deliberately messed up the imperial economy, in a vain attempt to arouse the people's dissatisfaction with the imperial court, and then colluded with the Yellow Turban thieves to disrupt the country. Yuan Regency's various crimes are too numerous to mention, but fortunately, the great emperor, the sun of the Han Empire, and the wisdom and vigilance of Liu Bian, the son of Guangxi, have timely insight into Yuan Re's ambitions and tricks. Feeling that the conspiracy was exposed, Yuan Reyi launched a riot in the capital in a frenzy, hoping to succeed in the rebellion and usurp the Han Dynasty. In the end, it was crushed in front of my powerful emperor ** team. Yuan Wei's defeat proved that the lineage of the Son of Heaven Liu was unquestionable and changeable. ”

Liu Wei read the whole article in one go, and was very satisfied, and said to Wei Yi with a smile: "It's well written, even the Yellow Turban Rebellion can be pulled to Yuan Kui, do you want to say that he has a corrupt style of life and maintains improper relationships with many women?" ”

Wei Yi replied very seriously: "It seems that this article does not expose Yuan Yi enough. ”

Liu Wei thought about it, the current moral atmosphere is very different from the previous life, it is very common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, even if this kind of thing is true, it is just a first-class rhyme for Yuan Kui, and it is harmless.

"Then forget it!" Liu Wei said stupidly.

Lu Zhi and Xun Yu are both upright men and gentlemen, and they naturally can't stand the undisciplined conversation between Liu Wei and Wei Yi.

In fact, at the legal level, Lu Zhi and other important ministers still resisted smearing Yuan Kui. In their opinion, a big crime of rebellion and forming a party is already okay, after all, Yuan Kui was also an important minister of the state, and the Yuan family has served the country for generations, and he also has a certain amount of credit, and splashing too much sewage will also have an impact on the imperial court.

And the big judicial response is even tougher. In the imperial history, Cheng Huang Wan was also in jeopardy because his position was also in jeopardy, so he obeyed Liu Wei's intentions. Although Yuan Kui's charges were written on the impeachment seal one by one at the behest of Liu Bian's instructions, Ying Shao refused to give in in the spirit of the sacredness of the law, dismissed the inconsistencies one by one, and directly told Liu Biao that if Liu Biao liked to pour dirty water on Yuan Kui, he could not control the publicity, but he had to speak with facts about the law.

Liu Wei was angry at Ying Shao's non-cooperation, but he was helpless, because he knew that Ying Shao was doing the right thing.

Throughout the history of the Guangxi Empire, there is a peculiar scene. On the one hand, the Son of Heaven Liu Biankeng was abducted and deceived and despicable and vicious, but on the other hand, a large number of loyal ministers rushed forward to resist and do not cooperate with Liu Bian's various non-compliant methods. Liu Wei did not attack these ministers, and those ministers also tried not to go too far, and the two sides maintained a delicate balance, each guarding its own bottom line.

Although there were some small twists and turns in dealing with Yuan Kui's problem, it did not affect Liu Bian's mood. After everyone finished discussing and leaving, Liu Wei knelt down at the table with a tired and satisfied smile on his face.

Although he has the chance to win the rebellion to quell the Yuan family, this is not a game after all, Liu Wei has always tensed his nerves and paid hard work.

It was only at this moment that Liu Wei felt as if he had unloaded his burden, and began to close his eyes and taste the taste of victory. In his previous life, he did a lot of work, librarians, extras, etc., none of them did a good job for a long time, until he traveled to the Han Dynasty and he really found a job that suited him, that is, to be an emperor.

He likes to be an emperor, and he knows how to be a good emperor, and he hopes that he can create an empire with the foundation of eternity, if he has been working hard to survive before this, he is a little confused after solving Dong Zhuo. Only now has he finally found a goal, that is, to build a large empire that will be watched and passed down from generation to generation.

A faint fragrance came into his nose, and Liu Wei smiled. Opening his eyes, Tang Ji held a bowl of soup in front of him.

"Yuan rebelled, Your Majesty has been tired for many days, I boiled a bowl of medicinal soup according to the recipe prescribed by Dean Zhang (Zhang Zhongjing), and Your Majesty drank it while it was hot to replenish the body." Tang Ji said with concern.

Liu Wei said with a smile: "I smelled a faint fragrance just now, I thought it was Sister Tang's body, but I didn't expect it to be an unpalatable medicinal soup!" If you want to nourish the body, for me, it is still a medicinal soup that is not as good as a pot of wine. ”

Tang Ji's face flushed, and he said angrily: "Your Majesty said this, this shameful thing again." Drinking alcohol hurts your body, didn't Your Majesty promise your concubines to drink less and not drink? ”

Liu Wei Lai said: "I am very happy to sweep away Yuan's rebellious party in a few days, and Sister Tang will allow me to break this example." ”

Tang Ji couldn't resist Liu Bian's Pi Lai, so he had to negotiate the conditions for Liu Bian to finish the medicinal soup, and then fetch him a pot of wine.

Liu Wei shook the wine pot dissatisfiedly and said, "There is a whole bowl of the medicinal soup I drank just now, but why is there only half a pot of wine?" ”

Tang Ji pursed his lips and smiled: "Your Majesty didn't say that a pot should be filled. If you are not satisfied, then the concubine will take it away. ”

Liu Wei pursed his lips, poured a full wine cup and drank it.

There was only half a pot of wine, but for some reason Liu Wei was drunk. Even Tang Ji found it strange, Liu Wei had always drunk a lot of alcohol.

Lying on Tang Ji's lap, Liu Wei curled up like a cat.

"A long time ago, there was a popular saying: 'Wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lie on the knees of beauty', which seems to be the highest level of success. But that's more than that. Liu Wei muttered with his eyes closed.

"Your Majesty?" Tang Ji was a little dazed.

Liu Wei smiled and continued: "Those Tang Dynasty and Song Ancestors, even if they created so many brilliant achievements, they were only short-lived in history. The empire they created is still lost in the long river of history. Unlike them, I want to create a great empire that will dominate the world and be immortal for generations to come! ”

When Liu Wei said to the end, his voice was as thin as the sound of mosquitoes. Soon he fell into a deep sleep.

Although there are some things I don't understand about Liu Bian's words, because Liu Bian often says some strange things, Tang Ji has long been used to it.

Caressing Liu Wei's hair, at this moment, his man was lying in his arms, sleeping like a child, and a feeling of happiness, warmth, and motherhood came to his heart.

Originally, she was going to ask about the handkerchief on Liu Wei's body, but she had already forgotten about it at this time, but closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the man who belonged to her lying quietly in her arms.
