Six hundred and forty-six iron-fisted Liu Xuande
This was the first time that the ancient literature school felt the negative effects of Liu Bei's strength on them.
In the past, it was all a positive effect, but now that the literary school is gone, Liu Bei's strength is directly used on them, which makes them very uncomfortable.
The military strongman is all-encompassing, it is aimed at everyone, not against a particular group alone, it used to be because everyone had a common enemy, but now the situation is different.
Since everyone has no common enemy, who to target is, of course, determined by Liu Bei's own interests.
The interests of the ancient literature school are not the same thing as Liu Bei's own interests, Liu Bei needs to let the ancient literature school understand this truth and not go too far.
If they thought that Liu Bei would be very scruptuous, and infinitely tolerant of them, then they were very wrong.
Liu Bei must not tolerate their excessively behavior.
During the same period of time, Zhang Rang also convened an internal meeting of the Ten Standing Attendants, at which everyone slapped the table and smashed the bench, quarreled endlessly, and there was a fierce dispute over the distribution of interests, and Zhang Rang also found out the people who bought his subordinates.
Guo Sheng, Sun Zhang, Song Dian.
Zhang Rang was very dissatisfied with the three of them, and gave them an ultimatum, if something similar happened again, Liu Bei would not do it, he would have to clean up the portal.
And Guo Sheng and the other three were also very dissatisfied with Zhang Rang's strength, thinking that Zhang Rang was eating inside and out.
"My generation is your ally, Liu Xuande is a general! He wants to be powerful, without my generation, how would Liu Xuande treat you? Don't be confused about reality! ”
"It's the guys who don't understand the reality! Liu Xuande has the power of the world, all because he can live, can continue to hold positions in the court and grasp power, without him, we will die and have no place to be buried! You fools! ”
Zhang Rang was very angry about this, and forcefully demanded that the Ten Standing Servants hand over part of what Jizhou had swallowed to Liu Bei in exchange for his forgiveness, otherwise, he could not guarantee the integrity of the Ten Standing Servants.
In this regard, Zhao Zhong, Xia Yun, Duan Qi and Gao Wang, who were familiar with Liu Bei's methods, admitted their cowardice, while Bi Lan, Li Song, Zhang Gong, and Han Kui had an ambiguous attitude.
And Guo Sheng, Sun Zhang and Song Dian still maintain a tough attitude.
Everything has been done, all the money has been swallowed, can you still spit it out?
If this is spit out, what kind of face do they have to continue to mix in Luoyang City? Aren't the guys who are waiting to be fed under them going to leave them soon?
Seeing that the ultimatum was ineffective, Zhang Rang told Liu Bei about the matter and gave up saving other people's lives.
Liu Bei sneered, informed Guo Hong of the news, and gave Guo Hong an order to take down the three eunuchs.
After Guo Hong learned of Liu Bei's order, he immediately mobilized his officials and apprentices to rush into the mansions of Guo Sheng, Sun Zhang and Song Dian in broad daylight, captured the three, and then escorted them to the entrance of the market to be beheaded in public.
The three of them were killed in an instant, all the relatives in the family were arrested and thrown into prison, and the Hongdu Sect students and court officials who were related to the three were arrested and liquidated at the same time, and the forces of the three were cleaned up in only half a day.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Liu Bei killed the three eunuchs on charges of corruption and fornicating with the Yuan family, and liquidated all their forces in half a day, and the people related to them were arrested, with a high effect, and the action was very decisive.
This news shook the officialdom of Luoyang, the eunuch group and the ancient literature school.
They only thought that Liu Bei was ruthless to outsiders, but they didn't expect Liu Bei to be equally decisive in his internal attack.
This time it was three notorious eunuchs who died, and it was impossible for the scholar officials to say anything for these three people anyway, so they could only applaud against their will, but they all knew that this was Liu Bei's reaction to this Jizhou incident.
He's telling everyone.
I will kill.
I can kill.
The heads of the three eunuchs first frightened the forces of the Ten Standing Servants, so Bi Lan, Li Song, Zhang Gong and Han Kui quickly confessed their cowardice, and immediately went to Liu Bei's general's mansion to apologize, saying that they would soon clean up the Jizhou problem and explain all the misunderstandings.
Zhao Zhong and the others acted more quickly, and sent carts and carts of gifts directly to the General's Mansion with super high efficiency, apologized to Liu Bei, and told Liu Bei that everything that happened was a misunderstanding, and there would be no next time.
Liu Bei was very satisfied with the heartfelt attitude of the eunuchs and praised them.
And this decisive move also frightened many people from the ancient literature school, and they quickly realized how far Liu Bei's power had swelled.
As long as he wants, he can kill the eunuch today, and tomorrow, maybe he can kill the people of the ancient literature school for the same reason.
As long as you live in Luoyang, you may not be able to escape this threat.
Even in Luoyang City, where his army was not stationed, he could still be unimpeded - anyway, Dong Chong had been a shrinking turtle for a long time, and for Liu Bei, Luoyang City was actually undefended.
At least the 1,200 officials and apprentices of the Central Capital under Guo Hong can enter and exit at will, and Guo Hong is Liu Bei's ironcore, and he will do whatever Liu Bei says.
Zheng Tai and the others held their own identities, and they couldn't pull their faces to admit it, but after thinking about it, they didn't dare to really tear their faces with Liu Bei, so they could only privately explain to their respective high-level disciples to go to Liu Bei's mansion to apologize on their behalf, and by the way, they told Liu Bei that they had already decided to accept the sixty percent request.
With Liu Bei's super high merits, what can't you do with sixty percent?
As a result, starting from April of the third year of Jian'an, the number of slaves counted by the Jizhou government and the number of family property confiscated from the guilty have also increased greatly.
This number was counted by Jizhou Thorn Shi Qiaomao and then summarized to Luoyang, and then according to Liu Bei's instructions, the slaves were sent to Zhongshan Kingdom, Changshan Kingdom and Hejian Kingdom, and part of the property was also sent to the three places, and the rest were all escorted to Luoyang.
This is the first time Liu Bei has been mad, the first time he has been mad at "his own people", such a fierce and fast action has stunned many people, and it is also the first time that some people have successfully understood what a military strongman is.
The problem in Jizhou was quickly straightened out, and the slave restriction order and the resettlement of slaves soon became regular.
As a result, among the four states involved in this wave of slave restriction orders, only Yizhou remains.
Yizhou is a relatively complete and peaceful state, unlike Guanzhong and Hebei, Guanzhong and Hebei have repeatedly suffered from the impact of war in the past five or six years, and the internal forces have been purged by the army and the war in turn, and the losses are great, but Yizhou has not.
After the unique terrain conditions made Ma Xiang and others rebellious, there was no war in Yizhou, and the forces in various places were basically in a relatively complete state except for the great changes in Ba County.
But Yizhou is particularly important to Liu Bei.
In particular, half of Liu Bei's paper production capacity is in Yizhou, and now the entire Guanzhong, including the Luoyang Imperial Court, can use paper in large quantities for official processing, relying on the vigorous development of Yizhou's paper industry.
Among them, the efforts of Shu County Taishou Gao, who made a lot of contributions to the popularization of paper in the Han Empire, making the paper industry almost a pillar industry in Shu County.
It can be said that under the protection of Liu Bei, Yizhou's economic development is very good, and the locals think that Yizhou will always be prosperous and comfortable.
But the issuance of the slave restriction order cast a shadow over this peace and ease.
Should I say it or not, Liu Bei's influence in Yizhou is still very large.
After all, as early as the fifth year of Zhongping, he began to run Yizhou, and he also planted his forces in Yizhou early, and recruited subordinates and students in Yizhou, influencing a group of Yizhou people.
Now that the policy of restricting slavery is being issued, there are still people in Yizhou who are willing to respond.
