Wang Mang's policies, no matter how you look at them, don't seem to be things that can be sorted out in this feudal era. Moreover, his policies greatly alleviated the already acute social contradictions at that time and promoted the development of the country. It played a decisive role in the national fortunes of the Han Dynasty that could continue for more than 200 years.

Otherwise, at that time, the land annexation that had evolved into a frenzy and the aristocratic big businessmen occupied all the resources and acted recklessly. And the ordinary people have been reduced to lowly slaves, and they can't live at all in the last days, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion is estimated to be two hundred years in advance. Judging from the fact that the whole world was in dire straits at that time, once a peasant uprising broke out, the Han Dynasty would have been gone for a long time.

After Wang Mang's death, this reform, which can be said to have been carried out in the 19th century, was frantically counterattacked by those vested interests that had been suppressed before, and Liu Xiucai was finally able to ascend to the throne. Relying on the resources left by Wang Mang, the national fortunes of the Han family continued for another 200 years, until social contradictions broke out again and the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. And this time, there is no other Wang Mang to renew the life of the Han family.

Gao Yang had a wonderful expression on his face, and he heard the hearty and excited response, which vividly performed an audience member who listened to the speech loyally. Even Wang Yun on the side looked up at Gao Yang from time to time.

"Aiqing is willing to share your worries for you?" After finally saying this, Liu Xie wiped his chin, his clear eyes flashed with excitement, and he looked at Gao Yang with hope.

"Wechen is willing to die for His Majesty!" Gao Yang looked impassioned, held his head high, and made a loud statement.

"Very good." The young Liu Xie nodded with satisfaction. After a pause, he glanced at Wang Yun, who looked indifferent, and after a slight sigh, he said loudly, "Gao Aiqing stepped forward to listen to the seal." ”

"Wechen is here." Gao Yang strode forward and saluted.

"Gao Aiqing's merit is in Sheji, and now Gao Aiqing is canonized as the general of Zhenxi and the captain of the Tun Cavalry. The car is long, and the rank is 2,000 stones. Liu Xie's clear voice echoed in the hall. After a pause, he continued, "After the punishment of Dong Rebellious, the widow will not hesitate to reward the marquis!" ”

Gao Yang lowered his head, the corners of his mouth turned slightly, and a strange smile flashed on his face, which then disappeared. Solemnly and respectfully saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

......

"It's kidding you, isn't it? Wasn't the Northern Army abolished? Who are you going to command, the captain of the Tun Cavalry? Isn't it up to you to rely on your own soldiers? As for the others, it's just a little better. On the carriage back to the mansion, Yuan asked softly.

"Hmm." Gao Yang, who was sitting cross-legged in the carriage, supported his chin with one hand and squinted his eyes slightly. Responded casually, with an indifferent expression.

"Don't you have anything to say?" The origin asked unwillingly.

"What is there to say?" Gao Yang said casually: "It's just taking advantage of each other." If they have enough strength in their hands, where do they need to look for me? It's good not to get rid of me as Dong Zhuo's fellow party. These things are better than nothing, at least they have a name. And, until it really happens, these are just empty promises. I don't dare to say it at all now. In fact, as long as you have enough strength in your hands, what do you want and can't get it? You've been with me for so many years. Having seen so many things, isn't it clear? ”

Origin pursed his lips, paused, and then asked, "So what are you going to do?" ”

Gao Yang slowly opened his eyes. There was a cold look in his eyes, "Now I'm waiting for the news of Huang Liang." ”

Gaoyang Mansion, in the back hall.

Diao Chan was still with Cai Wenji, and all the servants and maidservants in the mansion were sent away by Gao Yang. These subordinates were all sent by Dong Zhuo, if there are no spies sent by Dong Zhuo, who can believe it? At this moment, all the people in this mansion are Gao Yang's personal guards.

"Any news?" Gao Yang, who changed into a gorgeous robe, leisurely poured himself full of wine. Asked casually.

Huang Liang, who was standing at the place of his hand, hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said in response, "The matter has been clarified." ”

"Oh?" The corners of Gao Yang's mouth curled slightly, and he chuckled, "Let's talk about it." ”

"Yes." Huang Liang said respectfully: "The person the lord is looking for is hiding in the palace. Those who had been sent into the palace to inquire had been killed. ”

"Huh?" Gao Yang's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly. Suspiciously, he looked up at Huang Liang and asked out loud, "Everyone is dead, where did your news come from?" ”

"Back to the Lord." Huang Liang showed a confident expression on his face, and even his body straightened up unnaturally, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty noticed that something was wrong when he went to the outside of the palace, even if he knew that something was wrong. Later, the subordinates spent money and goods to buy the eunuchs in the palace, and all the truth was revealed. ”

After a pause, Huang Liang cleared his throat and continued, "According to those eunuchs, the person the lord was looking for appeared in the palace somehow after being blinded eight years ago. Originally, it was going to be taken down by the palace guards, but Zhang Rang, one of the ten permanent servants at that time, valued this person's excellent martial arts and was a blind man, so he took this person in to teach a group of eunuchs martial arts. This person was called Ancestor by those eunuchs. ”

"Ancestor? Since he is an ancestor, how could those eunuchs take your money and betray him? Gao Yang raised his hand and took a sip of grape wine, the smile on his face became more and more obvious, and asked softly.

"Back to the Lord." Huang Liang responded: "This time is different. The current eunuchs are far from the scenery of the original Ten Permanent Servants. The poor who survived the chaos were dying of starvation. Where do these rootless people know what faith is? For them, having milk is a mother. The subordinates threw out the goods, and these people immediately knelt down and licked them. ”

"Interesting, go on." Gao Yang smiled and motioned for Huang Liang to continue.

"Yes." Huang Liang replied and continued, "This man has no hair on his head and no beard on his face. Silent by nature, not good at words. He lived in a very remote part of the palace all year round, and did not interact with people. That Zhang Rang wanted to serve the emperor and fight with his ministers, and it didn't take long to forget about this person. However, he is a disciple who has taught many martial arts skills. When Yuan Shao led the troops into the palace to eliminate the ten permanent servants, this person and those apprentices who were familiar with the terrain of the palace killed many officials and soldiers, and saved a lot of eunuchs, and had a very high reputation among the eunuchs. At this moment, this person is still hiding in the palace. ”

"Martial arts have not fallen? It's good, it's good. Gao Yang's face was full of smiles, and he even chuckled. After drinking a few glasses of grape wine in a row, his eyes wandered, and he reached out and tapped lightly on the table in front of him.

Listening to the rhythmic percussion sound, Huang Liang's heart trembled slightly, and he involuntarily lowered his head, looking at his shoes, and he didn't dare to breathe. He never understood what Gao Yang was looking for this person for. However, the experience of running around for many years has taught him that for a small person like him, some things are better if he doesn't know them!

After half a ring, Gao Yang stopped what he was doing. Slowly raised his head and looked at Huang Liang, who looked nervous. smiled indifferently and said, "You have done a good job in this matter, wait until you go to the account office to receive a reward of 200 yuan." When the big thing is understood, there will be a lot of rewards. ”

"Thank you, Lord." Huang Liang was beaming with joy and hurriedly saluted.

Gao Yang pursed the corners of his mouth, his gaze fluctuated slightly, and he said softly, "I arranged for you to do something." It's a very important thing, and you have to do it well. ”

......

Dong Zhuo's army was defeated, and the Tiger Prison Pass had fallen into the hands of the Kwantung coalition army. This news spread throughout Luoyang City as if it had wings. And those big people who have already learned the news have secretly colluded and planned more closely, and the entire Luoyang City has gradually had a trend of mountains and rains coming and full of buildings.

Gao Yang began to frantically overdraft his income, and even sold the salt production method to wealthy merchants in exchange for a large amount of goods. At the same time, Wang Yun continued to ask for money and goods, as many as he wanted.

Gao Yang is ready to launch. This can be called a thunderous blow that will become a benevolent if it is not successful, and it must go all out for Gao Yang! He now needs to quickly expand his strength. And if you want to conscript, you can't do it without money.

Gao Yang, who seems to be fishing with all his might, actually doesn't care about these things outside his body at all. If the plan succeeds and he is able to reopen Planaris and Storage Space, all the work he's doing now is nothing. And if he fails, as long as Gao Yang succeeds in escaping, no matter where he goes, with his wisdom thousands of years ahead of this era, it is just an extremely simple matter to make a comeback.

Gao Yang began to throw money wildly, and a large amount of goods were thrown out like flowing water. In exchange for a large number of elite former Central Army sergeants, as well as various military supplies in the arsenal. The strength of his men began to expand massively.

Gao Yang's movements were so big, Duan Xuan and Dong Huang, who stayed in Luoyang, naturally knew about it.

However, Duan Xuan may have already been in contact with Wang Yun and others. He may not take the initiative to take action, but as a noble-born prominent family, Duan Xuan, who is still loyal to the Han family, has long been unwilling to succumb to Dong Zhuo. Therefore, he didn't see everything he did to Gao Yang.

As for Dong Zhuo's nephew Dong Huang, this is a second ancestor in the true sense. It is completely dependent on his identity as Dong Zhuo's nephew that he can have today. He's a complete piece of rubbish.

Dong Huang stayed behind as Luoyang, and handed over all affairs to Duan Xuan on weekdays. He spent all day drinking, and lived a very chic life in the days when Dong Zhuo was not around, drunk and dreaming of death.

After Dong Zhuo's defeat, Dong Huang, who hurriedly left Gentle Township, was busy following the orders sent by Dong Zhuo, searching everywhere and preparing for the relocation of the capital. I don't have the energy to care about Gao Yang's affairs at all.

Soon, the defeated soldiers who retreated from the Tiger Prison Pass came to Luoyang City one by one. These soldiers infected the mood of defeat into the city, harassed the people all day long, drunk and quarreled, and made the whole city of Luoyang into a miasma.

The forces of all sides are mobilizing and preparing, either overtly or covertly. Everyone's eyes were focused on Dong Xiangguo, who was about to arrive in Luoyang City!

Two days later, Dong Zhuo finally returned to Luoyang City with his personal guard Feixiong Army! (To be continued.) )
