If you want to know the road, you must know history.

During the lifetime of the first emperor, in order to win over the family, he divided the matter of building the canal into two, and the money for the construction of the canal was directly transferred by the central government to the county where it was located, and the matter of raising people's husbands, purchasing goods and building was handed over to the local family, and the family could benefit from it.

Judging from the annotation of the west side room, there are six wealthy lords with more than 1,000 private soldiers in the six counties and nineteen counties of the three states through which the Hongqu passes, namely the Liu family of Lingyuan County, Huaxing County, Quzhou, the Cheng family of Chuihong County, Xuchang County, Quzhou, the Duan family of Leling County, Linzi County, Quzhou, the Wei Chi family of Xiandeng County, Wuwei County, Cangzhou, the Yan family of Yunzhong County, Muzhou, and the Lu family of Wuyuan County, Yunzhong County, Muzhou.

This is my first time on a trip, and I don't know when I will go out next time, so I have made every thorough consideration to ensure that there will be no mistakes on this trip. As for the attendant, cowardly, greedy auditor of the Treasury Decision-making Department, Meng An, before I left, I said to him, "Everything is at my disposal, and you will pay the taxes in your own pocket, and I will raise my personal name." ”

Meng Anjian didn't think about it, so he readily agreed.

The six major families I faced were different, and I thought about it again and decided to divide them.

The Gyeonggi court said that I was good at conspiracy, but what was conspiracy? In my opinion, scheming is the art of opportunity and balance!

For the Xiandeng Wei Chi clan, who is full of military generals and has become a trend of private fighting, I directly handed over the matter of Hongqu recruiting people to the other four weaker small clans in Xiandeng County, among the four small clans, there are patriarchs in charge of a captain of soldiers and horses, there are large cultivators, and there is a clan where the county magistrate is located. In this way, between the families of Xiandeng County, there will inevitably be internal friction, and before I get out of Xiandeng County, several families will fight, watch their nest fight, I am happy!

The Chuihong Cheng clan is one of the eight old clans in Quzhou, with a profound heritage, but for the romantic, indulgent, and extravagant Chuihong Cheng father and son, I have no scruples, and directly handed over the matter to the father and son, which boosted the extravagance of the father and son. Scold! The father and son 'Yusheng fell to Luan Feng all day long, and Luo Mu's life was not returned', so romantic, it was a matter of time before the family perished. Before leaving Chuihong County, Cheng's father and son visited late at night, and gave me two jars of golden sands with a wine jar, and I turned around and handed it all over to Meng Anjian, who was more obedient to me.

As the leader of the ranking of the six families encountered on this trip, the Le Ling Duan clan is the most powerful but also the most prone to collapse, just because his relatives are too strong, which leads to many internal contradictions within the Duan clan. I extended His Majesty's edict and put it on the notice column, attaching the four big words of 'those who have the ability to get', and Linzi County, which is on the verge of the East China Sea, suddenly made a fuss, and finally the Wang family where the wife of the patriarch of the Duan clan got the word 'can', and Duan Ruijin, the patriarch of the Duan clan, almost abandoned Mrs. Tie Fa with a letter of resignation.

As for the Yan clan located in Yunzhong County and the Lu clan in Wuyuan County under the jurisdiction of Yunzhong County, it was much easier, and the people of Muzhou could fight and plough on horseback, which was the most fierce among the people of Kyushu. The two ethnic groups compete for Fengmei pasture all year round, because dozens of cattle and sheep will fight, and the construction of canals, which is a rare matter of collecting money for decades, can still make a small fuss? Sure enough, before I arrived in Yunzhong County, the two families were already vibrating in the clouds and singing with iron blades!

At the last stop, Lingyuan Liu's family, after entering Huaxing County, heard that the eldest son Liu Desheng and the second son Liu Ruisheng had a gap and a brotherly discord.

The wind rises at the end of Qingping, the waves become between the waves, and the internal friction in the family is the most deadly, so I made up my mind to 'sell' Quzhou Mu Jiangfeng a love affair, and sent 'Qingping' to Jiang Feng's precious nephew, Liu Ruisheng. Although Liu Desheng always highly recommended his brother Liu Ruisheng, the expression of wanting to cry without tears made me secretly happy.

Ling Yuan and his entourage, I also met Mr. Zigui Xuetang and Huaxing County Scholar, this romantic genius who made His Majesty unforgettable, Liu Quansheng. When I first saw him, I only felt that this person was ordinary, he had drunk three rounds, his chest was open, Liu Quansheng's talent was exposed, and his edge was difficult to hide, compared with his knowledge, I seemed to be a drop in the ocean, insignificant.

Although Liu Quansheng is the second prince's party, with his Liu Quansheng's talent, in the Gyeonggi Rebellion twelve years ago, even without the protection of His Majesty, he can completely retreat and protect himself in Chang'an City, far from giving up high-ranking officials and returning to his hometown alone. I vaguely felt that back then, he definitely did not resign and return to his hometown, but the biggest 'cocoon' buried by His Majesty.

When he breaks out of the cocoon, he will definitely shock the world.

Leaving Lingyuan, this trip is coming to an end, I hold the bamboo slip given to me by Liu Quansheng, drink the cold river, wear snow willows, go all the way north, and drive to Zhangwu County!

Out of the Lingyuan Mountain Range, I slowly opened the bamboo slip, and when I saw it, I couldn't help but exhale.

"Those who can defeat strong enemies will win first." - Liu Quansheng

The Lu clan in Poyang, Liuzhou, where I am located, is a wealthy family that has been inherited from the Eastern Wu period, and the 28th clan supported His Majesty to ascend the throne. However, from the accession of the Son of Heaven to the throne 16 years ago to the chaos of the Son of Heaven in Gyeonggi 12 years ago, the honeymoon period between the Son of Heaven and the Son of Heaven lasted only four years before it fell apart.

For the sake of family interests, my father and the remaining three Dongwu remnants in Liuzhou formed the Liuzhou Alliance, and the four major families divided Liuzhou and became princes.

This made me indignant, and I knew that after Your Majesty finished purging the internal affairs of Chang'an and Luoyang, he would immediately stimulate the 'cocoons' scattered in all corners of the world early and eradicate the local clans, including my Lu clan.

Therefore, when His Majesty is peeling off the cocoon, I am also cocooning myself, and the dream of reaching the world and serving the country loyally, I met a family that is rich in life and family affection, which makes it difficult for me to sleep and eat, until I go north out of Chang'an, my heart is still weighing and wandering, although my heart is inclined to the country, but it is still difficult to give up the family.

Liu Quansheng's words, although he did not mention half of the vague sentence, but inappropriately mentioned me, the family is unpopular, and it is difficult to set off the evil waves that caused chaos in Gyeonggi back then, and the destruction is a foregone conclusion, under this premise, I can only be dedicated to the country and loyal to Your Majesty, and when the family is in danger, can I exchange for Your Majesty's open side.

Ay! Those who know me, Liu Quansheng also!

......

Before I returned to Chang'an, the imperial capital, my father sent my brother to hurry up and whipped me halfway, and ordered me to resign and go home.

When I asked my brother why his father wanted me to resign and return to my hometown, my brother replied, "The Son of Heaven intends to eradicate the clan, and this is the time when the family is employing people. ”

After hearing this, I laughed, "Hanjia 300,000, once used to be a Huns." Today, there is Lu Wenyou, who is willing to be a broken mangosteen. Lu Ling has made up his mind, clan brother, please go back! ”

Perhaps, from now on, I will break off with the Lu family!

......

The day after I returned to Beijing, I saw a scene that I had never encountered in my life, and this is also the second major event I want to talk about, which is closely related to me, a major event.

In the early morning of that day, thousands of riders folded into Chang'an;

Above the temple, thousands of words are played by Lu Ling.

The spearheads of the large and small clans were all pointed at me alone, and they used extremely harsh words to play me for privately expanding the Holy Zhao, playing for my private pockets, playing for me not knowing the general situation, playing for my cholera prefecture and county, playing me for instigating relations, and treating me as a thief.

His Majesty, who was living in Chunling at the moment of the Spring Festival, after receiving an urgent report from Chang Xia, one of the Twelve Emperors, stroked his palms and laughed, faced Sima Men, and shouted loudly with full of energy, "Look! Look! What does it mean to spend a lot of money? What does it mean to be arrogant? I repair a rainbow canal, and I will reap such a rich gift, these large and small clans, can also be regarded as the beauty of the southeast of the guest and host! This large and small dozen families, send a bamboo slip, and actually get together a thousand rides, it's not simple! It's not easy! ”

I stood beside His Majesty, and I didn't know what to do.

"There is the 'friendship' of the guest and the host, and there must be the elegance of the guest. Chang Xia, go! If it is a private soldier, detain the horses and equipment, and drive them all out of Chang'an City, if they are officers and soldiers, they will be removed from the army, and they will be sent to the southwest, and they will never be hired. The folds sent were burned on the spot, and none of them remained. Zizizizi! This beauty is on the side, how dare I live up to it? Today is a day off, and no one is allowed to disturb it. ”

After speaking, His Majesty walked into Chunlingju without looking back.

I wanted to stop talking, but my heart was grateful, Your Majesty has always been of a gentle temperament, and this time, he used strong means to protect me from the impeachment of the world.

And this move, His Majesty's signal is far more than that, he used this incident to tell the world, today's Son of Heaven is no longer the Son of Heaven who was ravaged twelve years ago, the sky of the Han Empire, it is sunny!

The so-called open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent.

Back to Yulin Zhonglang Mansion, 'the undercurrent in the river' hired hooligans, in front of my mansion to scold, there were many onlookers, the government soldiers expelled and returned, seized and rehired, in addition to my cronies and henchmen, some of the soldiers were either favored, or had scruples, hesitated, only promised, always caught and released, let me cry and laugh.

The mud bodhisattva still has three points of anger, after several times of repeated fruitless, I finally became angry, waved the long sword in my hand, strode out of the door, stabbed one to death with the sword, and saw that there were dissatisfied, another! One more backhand!

Between the swords and flowers, more than ten people splashed blood in Zhonglang's mansion.

The hooligans were torn apart and fled, never to return.

It's funny to say, I've been in the post for nearly six years, but this is the first time I've killed someone.

After venting my anger and being happy, I also changed from reasonable to unreasonable in this matter, and those fallacies such as "violent personality", "preference for killing", "ignoring the royal law", and "disregarding human life" were completely confirmed by me in front of everyone!

I carried the bloody sword and sat crookedly on the steps of the house, not moving for a long time.

Your Majesty always has a heart of love for talents, and today I can be said to be benevolent and righteous, and at a young age, he selected me and Xie An and other six people as the prince's master, which shows even more profound expectations. Today, even if I killed people for nearly half a day because of my private anger, Your Majesty pretended not to know, thinking about it, I suddenly remembered the first time I saw that day, one was full of expectations, the other was also full of expectations, the sunshine of that day, it was so good!

I couldn't help but burst into tears.

There must be something more important than the future, such as the pampas outside the city, or the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival. - Liu Yan

Time can smooth out the edges and corners, and erase the memories!

With the passage of time and His Majesty's indifference, the turmoil gradually subsided in Chang'an City, and just when I thought that this matter was over, on the tenth day of April, I ushered in a turning point in half my life! This is also the third major event that happened in Chang'an City!
