Chapter 396 Thirty years later, abdicate and leave
After flipping through the Wanyan Book, news came that Ouyang She had passed away.
Liu Xiu fell silent.
Whether to kill Ouyang She or not is a trivial matter, the key is how they choose.
Those who choose to fight, the outcome is already doomed.
Ouyang She will undoubtedly die, even if he "confesses and is lenient".
Ouyang She also understood this and committed suicide directly. He never thought of asking for forgiveness by relying on ten thousand words of writing or confessing.
"If you want to die, I'll let you die!"
Liu Xiu sneered.
He is very kind, and he is also very kind to his enemies, provided that the enemies do not threaten his interests; if they threaten his interests, he does not mind killing.
Soon after, a dozen prefects were executed due to the unfavorable order of field transfer, and even more prefects were dismissed. As for officials of other levels, the number was even greater.
Due to the impact of the Order of Land Transferring, many aristocratic families rebelled one after another, and the world, which was suddenly peaceful, was on the verge of chaos.
Kyushu is once again in turmoil.
It seems that another chaotic world is coming.
"If you don't rebel, it's okay; if you rebel, it's actually better!"
Liu Xiu smiled and said: "You are welcome to rebel!"
The aristocratic family was very strong before the rebellion; but the aristocratic family was very weak after the rebellion.
The aristocratic family is very powerful because it has great influence in the local area. It is a local snake and is difficult to deal with. Once it is non-violent and non-cooperative, the emperor has to compromise. But once the aristocratic family rebels, the so-called influence will disappear.
After all, once the aristocratic family rebels, the officials who colluded with them in the past will turn against them.
The people who were obedient in the past will also turn against them.
Former allies and allies turned against each other.
Rebellion is risky. Many people will not rebel unless they are cornered. Many people do not want to rebel, but are coerced into rebelling.
Just like in Water Margin, there are very few real rebels, and many are coerced. As long as they let things go or are treated leniently, many will surrender.
…………
The rebellion continues, affecting many areas, but most areas are just a mess, without a climate.
Liu Xiu took action. On the one hand, he sent troops to quell the rebellion, but on the other hand, he only killed the culprits and let bygones be bygones.
The rebellion lasted only three months before it was put down.
Those families that participated in the rebellion, or were unfavorable in their land tenure, were gradually relocated and left their local areas. The local snakes left the local area and lost their support. They moved to new areas and fought with other aristocratic families, and their influence continued to decline.
Suddenly, the influence of the aristocratic family was declining.
In the struggle between the imperial power and the aristocratic family, the royal family won, while the aristocratic family's power was weakening.
Maybe in a few decades or a few hundred years, the family's power would become bigger again, but that would be a few hundred years later, and he couldn't care about that anymore.
As long as the emperor can handle it well, things will be good in the past few decades; as for what happens a few hundred years from now, he can't interfere at all, and his descendants will have their own blessings.
Du Tian Ling, successful!
As for the aristocratic family, Liu Xiu just wanted to suppress the aristocratic family, not to destroy it, because the royal family was the largest aristocratic family.
A noble family cannot be destroyed either.
At most, it is to support new aristocratic families and suppress the old aristocratic families; to support obedient aristocratic families and suppress disobedient aristocratic families. It is just to find a balance between the aristocratic families.
The imperial examination continues, but relying on the imperial examination to suppress aristocratic families is a dream in itself.
It is also an imperial examination. Disciples from aristocratic families have the guidance of famous teachers and various abundant resources. In fact, they are more likely to pass the examination. Those from poor families seem to have participated in the imperial examination and can compete with aristocratic families on the same stage, but in fact they are not as good as them.
As the saying goes, it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son.
The imperial examination is becoming more and more popular, but most of those who succeed in the examination are from well-connected families. There are also students from poor families who succeed in the examination, but the number is very small.
It is possible to suppress aristocratic families by relying on imperial examinations, but it is impossible to eliminate aristocratic families.
As long as there is human society and as long as we have not regressed to the Stone Age, there must be aristocratic families.
…………
In the blink of an eye, thirty years passed.
Liu Xiu is over sixty years old.
Although he is sixty years old, Liu Xiu is still as young as ever, like a teenager.
"Prince!" Liu Xiu asked: "Killing one person and saving ten thousand people is the right way; killing ten thousand people and saving one person is the evil way. If it were you, what would you choose?"
Prince Liu Jiang said: "Of course it is necessary to kill one person and save ten thousand people! As a human being, you should have the spirit of sacrifice!"
Liu Xiu smiled: "Wrong. It is wrong to kill one person to save ten thousand people. It is also wrong to kill ten thousand people to save one person. Among ten thousand lives, one person's life may not be precious. Remember, if that person is not you,
If you have relatives and friends, you will naturally kill one person to save ten thousand people; but if it is your relatives and friends who die, you will naturally kill ten thousand people to save one person!"
"When you are an emperor, you must always bewitch your ministers and make selfless contributions. It is best if all of them are Wen Tianxiang. But when you become an emperor, you cannot be selfless, but must learn to be selfish. A selfless emperor is not a good emperor, but a selfish emperor is a good emperor!
"
"The strong are selfish, the weak are selfless! The emperor can use benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust, he can use all kinds of morals to restrain his ministers and the people, and he can deceive as much as he likes; but the emperor cannot believe this; whoever believes in it is seeking death!"
Prince Liu Jiang suddenly felt something bad and said, "Father, what happened?"
"I'm leaving, you can become the emperor!" Liu Xiu said.
"Father..."
Prince Liu Jiang listened, feeling happy but also disappointed.
My father's martial arts cultivation means that he can live at least five thousand years. He may be a prince for the rest of his life and cannot be an emperor.
But now, my father is about to abdicate.
"I'm about to ascend to the immortal world. Life or death is uncertain. I leave this to you!" Liu Xiu said, taking out a box and handing it over.
Prince Liu Jiang took the box, opened it, and immediately saw a pill inside, exuding a fragrance.
"This is……"
Prince Liu Jiang said in confusion.
"This is the Martial God Pill. After the Martial Emperor takes it at his peak, he can enter the realm of the Martial God!" Liu Xiu said: "If it is difficult for you to break the shackles after a hundred years, you can take the pill and enter the realm of the Martial God!"
This elixir was purchased by the main temple and cost half a million points.
"Thank you father!"
Prince Liu Jiang said excitedly that his qualifications are not good, and it is not difficult to become the Martial Emperor. He may not be able to become a Martial God, but it depends on luck. But with the pill, he can become a Martial God, with a lifespan of at least five thousand years.
"If you can avoid taking the Martial God Pill, try not to take it. The greatest benefit is to attack the Martial God by yourself!"
Liu Xiu finally warned: "After becoming the God of War, you can abdicate for a maximum of thirty years! Don't pay attention to the affairs of the world, whether it is the birth of a wise king or a weak king, or the demise of the Han Dynasty.
!”
"The family fortune has been established. I have a good card in my hand, but I still lost! I deserve to die!"
