After Tang Zhou's death, the concept of equal wealth spread widely among ordinary people in Taiping Road, which indirectly contributed to Zhang Jiao's determination to speed up the uprising.
And the concept of 'heaven replenishes the balance' is also spreading rapidly among Taiping Taoists...
It was not Liu Jian's unnecessary move, but in this era, the threat to the supreme power from aristocratic families and high-ranking families was too great, whether it was the current Han Emperor Liu Hong, or the Wei Empire Cao Pi and his descendants who inherited the Han Dynasty.
They are all constrained by the clans that control the selection system and the noble families with huge amounts of land.
In order to replace the Han Dynasty, Cao Pi made a huge compromise with the high-ranking officials in the world. He exchanged the employment system of the ninth-rank official law for the support of the high-ranking officials and scholars in the world for him to replace the Han Dynasty with Wei. The ninth-rank official law was in some way
In a sense, it is an extension of the imperial examination system. The dual monarchy system remains the same, and the imperial power is still constrained in the Wei Dynasty. The power will fall aside if you are not careful. Once a young emperor is involved, the power can easily be emptied.
In Liu Jian's view, Liu Hong's rule was indeed dirty, but even if his dirty rule was ended, if the constraints of noble families on the highest power were not fundamentally changed and the original intention of the system was not changed, everything would end in the end.
The original path would also lead to more serious turmoil than the warlord melee at the end of the Han Dynasty.
Regardless of whether it is Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, or Yuan Shu, Tao Qian and others replaced the Han Dynasty, considering the current situation, if they want to establish a new dynasty, they will eventually have to compromise with the gentry Wangmen, but the price of compromise means that
The supreme ruling power is not stable and will still be possessed by these maggots.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were two people who deeply challenged this decadent rule. One was Cao Cao, who was a "meritocratic man", and the other was Sun Ce, who had a military rise and dared to touch the "cake of Jiangdong noble families".
But Cao Cao's achievements were ultimately lost in the hands of his son, and Sun Ce died directly at the hands of Jiangdong assassins.
Liu Jian didn't know where he would end up in this troubled world, but he had made up his mind to change everything before he died, no matter what.
For noble families and scholars, we must both use them and destroy them!
The Yellow Turban Rebellion was the first step to break them.
Liu Hong gasped and clenched his teeth, making a "crunching" sound.
At this moment, Liu Yan, Liu Jian, Lu Qiang, Zhang Rang, and Zhao Zhong were standing in front of Liu Hong in the West Garden, bearing the emperor's wrath.
In this way, just after the New Year, Zhang Jiao began to prepare for the uprising in advance. He advanced the time of the uprising by several months.
Liu Hong panted heavily, looked at Liu Yan, and tried to calm himself: "Uncle Huang, what's his clever plan?"
"Crack!"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Hong suddenly exploded and threw the slip directly towards Zhang Rang.
Zhang Rang was startled, but he didn't dare to dodge. He could only let the slip hit him hard, which was very painful!
"Feng Xu, Xu Feng, these are all your people! Look at your people, take a good look! These are my loyal servants!" Liu Hong roared angrily at Zhang Rang.
"Back to your majesty, I once sat with Tang Zhou in his mansion to discuss matters. He trusted me a lot. This morning, I found this slip in front of my mansion that someone from Tang Zhou had secretly hung on my door. The details in it were
I blame myself and Taiping Dao for their crimes, but he is not in Luoyang at the moment."
Thus, the assassination work in Luoyang began.
Liu Hong thought carefully for a while and suddenly said: "Is the emperor trying to play hard to get?"
On the eve of the New Year holiday, someone reported Taiping Road to Liu Hong in advance.
"All the military officials in Luoyang may be infiltrated by Taiping Dao. Only your Yueqi battalion has just rotated the subordinate officials. I am quite relieved. I will leave this matter to you with full authority! We must keep Taiping Dao in Luoyang.
Can you dig them all out? I will notify Guang Luxun and give him full authority to cooperate with you. Whether it is Sanshu Lang or Yu Linlang, they can cooperate with you, how about?"
Zhang Rang said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please lead the imperial army to eliminate them according to the list listed by Tang and Zhou Dynasties!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will never let anyone go on the Taiping Road in Luoyang City!"
Liu Hong closed the slip in his hand heavily, his eyes were bloodshot and he was furious.
Liu Yan said, "No!"
The emperor couldn't use the slips to hit Liu Jian and Liu Yan, right?
"Your Majesty, calm down. Taiping Dao has been deployed in the Han Dynasty for many years. It has not only infiltrated the palace, but also the imperial army. There are countless local officials and nobles who have been infiltrated by it. The top priority is to first put down the chaos in Luoyang and ensure that Luoyang
If Yang can't afford to rebel, then he will gather all the troops and attack the local area! To put an end to the disaster!" At the critical moment, Liu Yan was still mature and prudent, and he could offer valuable words to Liu Hongjin.
"What is the most urgent matter?"
Ma Yuanyi, on the other hand, concentrated all the Taiping Dao forces deployed in Luoyang City and gathered near Luoshui River. When he saw a fire breaking out at the city gate, he rushed in to meet his internal response in Beigong.
After the New Year, we started to take action.
As the saying goes, "Capture the thief first, capture the king first." For Zhang Jiao, no matter how sufficient the preparations in the local counties were, they could not compare to killing the Han emperor with one blow in Luoyang.
Ma Yuanyi, the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turban Army, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou, is responsible for planning the uprising in Luoyang City, and the specific time will be advanced to January.
…
By the time the fifth battalion of the Northern Army or the subordinates of Guang Luxun reacted, they might have already beheaded the emperor!
…
As soon as the new year passed, Ma Yuanyi began to quickly contact the Taiping Dao people in Luoyang City. Their purpose was to complete the victory in one battle. They planned to use the eunuchs and the Imperial Army in the North Palace of Luoyang as internal agents to open the Ten
The four gates on the south side of the two city gates were set on fire at the city gates to disrupt the palace, and at the same time, eunuchs and imperial troops were allowed to assassinate people in the palace.
"What if these people are arrested according to the list and other hidden people are attracted to sacrifice themselves? Wouldn't this be a recipe for disaster?"
"I think he fled because he was afraid of being punished, or was afraid of being retaliated by Taiping Dao. I dare not publicize this matter too much, so I came to report it to Your Majesty first! Your Majesty, if what Tang Zhou said is true, I am afraid that in the near future, Taiping Dao will
They are about to start taking action, Luoyang City is the first place for their rebellion, your Majesty should be careful and guard against it!"
"Royal brother, there are only a few people I can trust. Don't let me down."
The regular attendants Feng Xu and Xu Feng, as well as Taiping Dao's internal counterparts in the imperial army, prepared to raise troops in the palace.
"Your Majesty, the matter is of great importance, and the truth has not yet been determined. Regardless of whether what Tang and Zhou said is true or false, even if it is true, Zhang Jiao has been setting out in various states for many years and has hundreds of thousands of followers under his command. In Luoyang, will there be any
Anyone unknown to the Tang and Zhou dynasties cannot be known."
"Deran, is this report of yours true? Then where is Tang and Zhou now?"
…
"Here!"
…
"Okay, okay, Deran."
It was not only Liu Hong's imperial power that was weakened, but also the prominent families.
He had information provided to him by Tang Zhou and could report it to Liu Hong at any time.
"Exactly!"
This person is Liu Jian.
…
Liu Jian, who had been silent until now, stood up and said, "I'm here!"
…
Liu Hong was a bit unreasonable. Feng Xu and Xu Feng, two of his ministers, were personally appointed by him. Although they were colleagues with Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang did not instigate them to rebel. How about this?
Can you blame Zhang Rang?
But the emperor was angry now. He wanted to vent his anger but had no outlet. Of those present, only Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong could shoulder this important task.
On the night of the incident, Ma Yuanyi gathered all the Taiping Dao elites stationed in Luoyang City, including Taiping Dao internal officers who had been stationed in the city for many years, in Lifang, the southern suburbs.
In the southern suburbs of Luoyang, apart from Lifang, there is the Luohe River. After crossing the pontoon bridge, these more than a thousand Yellow Turbans can go straight to the Lingtai, build the Pingcheng Gate, and then enter the Nangong through the corridor and point directly to the West Garden of the Beigong!
The reason for this layout is that Luoyang North Palace is the residence of Liu Hong and his female family members. Yulinlang and Sanshulang are heavily guarded. If they enter Lifang directly from Mang Mountain in the north, they can then attack Xiamen.
Hegumen is heavily defended and it is really difficult to break through.
Moreover, they have internal support in the palace. Even if they go a little further from the south, as long as they can attract the other party's attention, the important matter will not be delayed.
