Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Yellow Turban Affair
In 184 A.D., in the early spring, Tang Zhou, a disciple of Zhang Jiao of Taiping Dao, told Zhang Jiao that he wanted to rebel, and Ma Yuanyi, the god of Taiping Dao, was arrested, and thousands of his followers were arrested.
However, the anti-thief cry of Taiping Road has come out, and there are many rumors around Luoyang to Jingyang.
The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious.
After reading this slogan of poems and words, Liu Hong slammed the chapter in front of Zhang Rang.
"Damn! Look at it, look at the good things you've done." Liu Hong shouted to Zhang Rang.
I don't know why, Zhang Rang carefully picked up the piece, the Taiping Dao rebellion in front of him only made him frown slightly, and then looked back, but Zhang Rang's eyelids jumped.
I saw that the first half of the chapter detailed all the things before and after Tang Zhou's whistleblowing, emphasizing that the matter was serious and Liu Hong needed to make a decision as soon as possible.
The quality of Sujuan used in the recital is very average, I am afraid that it is because I can't see Liu Hong in person, and I am worried that the eunuch will peek at the middle of the recital.
The second half of the book details the culpability of Zhang Rang and others, stating that the Taiping Dao rebellion was caused by the evil deeds of the eunuchs.
What sent relatives to occupy important local positions, monopolize financial interests, and plundered all kinds of people, requiring Liu Hong to cut off the heads of dozens of permanent servants in the palace, and hanging his head to tell the world, so that the disaster would retreat and so on.
After a closer look, Zhang Rang was furious, Zhang Jun! Okay, what a Langzhong!
"Your Majesty~!" Crying out in pain, Zhang Rang leaned down and knelt down in front of Liu Hong.
"Your Majesty, in front of me to serve Your Majesty day and night, how can Your Majesty not know that although this Zhang Jun is reversed black and white, but the chaos has arisen, Zhang Rang is willing to scatter all his family wealth to help the military funds."
"Now Your Majesty should take the thunder to fight the thief first, the so-called disaster retreats by itself, Zhang Rang is willing to go to prison until the day of the thief, but it is up to Your Majesty to dispose of it." After the painful cry, Zhang Rang's words were firm and sonorous.
"The minister is also please~!" As Zhang Rang's words fell, Sun Zhang followed and bowed.
Looking at Zhang Rang and Sun Zhang, who were kneeling at the bottom, Liu Hong's eyes were full of anger, and he raised his hand to sweep away, and the miscellaneous items on the table were swept to the ground.
Nepotism, monopoly of financial resources, plundering of the people? Did this Zhang let them? This obviously refers to Sang scolding Huai, and he is obviously talking about me.
This official position of the Han Dynasty is deserved by the children of your family, but it is only for your own profit, blocking the wealth of the country, and earning the reputation of the family. Why can't I choose some people who will make money for the country?
Exclusive financial resources? Collect the wealth of the world, and I will distribute it reasonably.
Is the implementation of taxes to plunder the people? I let you and others obey the law, and then they have become the mouths of you to invade the people? And I ask if this people are my people? Should you keep the law of my Han?
Taiping Dao has bad intentions, no one knows, a group of things that use the topic to play, hateful, hateful! Liu Hong was angry in his heart.
"Hmph, get up, in the past, you all had nothing to do with me, and you all said that this corner was difficult to do, but now that the thief has come out, according to what Tang Zhou said, it will affect several states, and you will have something to hide from me."
calmed down the anger in his heart, but Liu Hong did not panic, with suspicion in his eyes, he asked Zhang Rang.
Liu Hong is greedy for money and lustful, but after being an emperor for so many years, the party dares to do it, and an existence that can integrate making money into all aspects of life will naturally not be simply stupid and sweet.
This guy just has a strange brain circuit, and it's okay to say that he understands things differently.
But it was originally from the people, and the prince Liu Wei was placed in the folk and handed over to the Taoist priests to raise, so it was naturally impossible for him not to know the Taiping Dao that was making a lot of noise all over the world.
"Your Majesty, you have already explained the matter of Feng Yu and Xu Feng, how dare the ministers act recklessly." Liu Hong asked, and Zhang Rang stepped forward to lower his voice.
"Although there are refugees in various places, but those families do it intentionally, and those villagers are regarded as the foundation of their families, how can they cut off their own foundation?"
"There are grain and grass dispatches in various counties and counties, and although there are those who are not well taken care of, the number is also limited, and it is not a big deal." Zhang Rang whispered, especially when he mentioned Feng Zhen and Xu Feng, a strange brilliance flashed in his eyes.
Feng Yu and Xu Feng are both Liu Hong's permanent attendants, and the two of them accepted bribes from Taiping Dao, how could this kind of thing be hidden from Zhang Rang.
Liu Hong often served twelve
Although Zhang Rang is the leader in name, they each have their own powers to focus on, and they can confiscate the rights of others, and the competition is quite suspicious, so this kind of thing cannot be hidden from Liu Hong.
The reason why the two of them have nothing to do so far is that most of the bribes they received honored Liu Hong, seeing that he received a lot of wealth, Liu Hong even regarded Zhang Jiao's Taiping Road as a special financial road, and the real brain circuit was a little special.
"Isn't it a big deal? So where do these thieves come from? The family often says to educate, and this is the people they have inculcated for me?" Liu Hong frowned.
"Your Majesty has the world in mind, how can the people not know that in a short year of calamity, patience will pass." Zhang Rang's face showed just the right amount of admiration, which also made Liu Hong's brows stretch slightly.
"As far as the ministers are concerned, I am afraid that most of these thieves are descendants of barbarians, although those barbarians have multiplied in the Han land for several generations, but our dynasty has been lenient to them and allowed them to retain the clan system, but it has caused today's incident." Zhang Rang pondered and analyzed.
"Huh? Those foreign captives? After many years of coexistence, most of them have adapted to the rules of farming, so what does it have to do with them?" Liu Hong asked.
"My majesty, thou art good for the people, but thou art good for all of you." Zhang Rang smiled distressedly, refuting and praising the praise was difficult to distinguish from specific, but it made Liu Hong's expression stretch a lot again.
"Your Majesty, those barbarians are scattered all over the world, and most of the ethnic groups have long since turned into family clans on our side." Zhang Rang continued, and Liu Hong nodded in agreement.
"Most of our remnants in the Central Plains are the Xiongnu, even if those Xiongnu change their surnames, they are not as good as our Han people, although they are good at talking about the ethnic group, but there are many people who like to plunder regardless of etiquette and religion in the clan."
"Your Majesty, do you remember the incident of Guangwu? Although most of them have adapted to settled farming, their nature is difficult to change, Your Majesty, and they often occupy land, and the behavior of enclosure slaves is even more common." With Zhang Rang's explanation, displeasure flashed on Liu Hong's face.
"Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with Your Majesty, our ancestral system treats them well, and most of the people they oppress are people in the clan, so the local counties usually ignore them."
"Humph! If you are a Chinese national, you are a Chinese people, and in the future, you should order the local government to take care of them." Liu Hong snorted heavily.
"Hehe, Your Majesty, everything he has known since he was a child is a wolf, not to mention care, the family is arrogant, and the people don't like the Huns, how can they look at those people from the Huns? Not to mention speaking up for it." Zhang Rang chuckled and shook his head.
"Father is saying that the rebellion of the Taiping Dao comes from these people who have been oppressed for a long time?" Liu Hong thought about it and asked Zhang Rang.
"It seems that Yichen is inseparable from ten, but his gathering of people will inevitably coerce the people of the prefecture and county, and His Majesty needs to deal with this matter as soon as possible, so as not to make His Majesty bear the notoriety again, and to avoid the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty from seeking the lives of our lowly people."
"Your Majesty, the minister's heart is full of shock." As he spoke, Zhang let tears slide down his cheeks uncontrollably.
"Woo~~" As Zhang Rang shut up, Sun Zhang knelt on the ground again, hiding his face and crying bitterly.
"Father, don't be sad, a little thief, I should order someone to destroy him." Seeing the two eunuchs crying sadly, Liu Hong comforted Zhang Rang.
"We deserve to be damned for distracting Your Majesty." Zhang Rang was moved.
"Your Majesty now has more important matters to deal with, and you still need to stabilize Luoyang, and don't let people take advantage of the chaos to make trouble. Feng Zhen and Xu Feng have been in the palace for a long time, and in order to prevent accidents, the guards still need to rectify it." Zhang Rang wiped away the tears on his face and said solemnly to Liu Hong.
"What my father said is very true." Liu Hong nodded.
"Your Majesty, that Feng Zhen and Xu Feng should be now.
。?」 As if unwilling to be lonely, Sun Zhang asked tentatively, but Zhang Rang turned his head and gave him a vicious cold look.
Sun Zhang wanted to deal with Feng Yu and Xu Feng, the two Taiping Dao "internal responses".
"Look at the two of them first, and it may be useful to turn back." Liu Hong thought for a short time, and when he decided, Zhang Rang's eyes flashed with a little relief and a little happiness.
Sun Zhang is greedy and unwise, these two people can vent the anger of hundreds of officials at a critical moment, and they can withstand disasters for us, how can they deal with it like this? Zhang Rang was relieved in his heart, it seems that His Majesty still has his heart for us and will think about us.
