Liu Zhang frowned tightly and slowly clenched his fists: "Could it be that since ancient times, since the founding of the dynasty, there has been a bloody killing for no reason?" ”

Liu Zhang never believed in any cunning rabbit dead lackey cooking, and the birds were good at hiding their bows, thinking that as long as they were well controlled, they could continue.

But now that I think that so many dynasties in history, even one that cannot be mentioned, have had bloodshed, are those wise founders not as good as themselves?

"The reduction of titles is a policy that comprehensively weakens the interests of the interest strata, how can such a major policy not shed a little blood?

Throughout the ages, any major measure must begin with bloodshed, and the same is true for the implementation of decreasing titles.

If Your Majesty doesn't even have this awareness, then don't promote any decreasing titles. ”

"Zhou Budo, you are presumptuous." Huang Yueying looked at Zhou Budo coldly.

Zhou Budo bowed and bowed: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, but Your Majesty has known before that if you want to implement a new policy and offend the world, you will be slaughtered and bloodshed, including so many innocents."

Now the decreasing title is equivalent to the previous New Deal, and now those dissatisfied civil and military are equivalent to the world, if they don't kill, why Mingzhi? ”

"What's more, this is not without reason, God has already given His Majesty a reason, although it is not very sufficient, but as long as a person is dead, who cares? As long as there is a reasonable reason, as long as there is a reason to announce the world, isn't it?

Isn't the reason of colluding with Huang Quan and trying to frame the eldest prince enough to kill them a thousand times? ”

Of course, Zhou Budo knew that only Huang Quan was the one who framed Liu Xun. also knew that Liu Kang framed Liu Xun. But that's just one reason. framing the prince is tantamount to rebellion, and it is not an exaggeration to punish the nine clans.

Zhou Budo knew what he had to say, and after he had finished speaking, he stood quietly, waiting for Liu Zhang's reply.

You can hear a pin drop on the floor in the room.

"If so many people are implicated, many years later, they will inevitably be rehabilitated. When the time comes, those who carry out this order will probably not end well, and who dares to risk the condemnation of the world? ”

Since ancient times, there has been a rule of officialdom, first framing Zhongliang, and then rehabilitating many years later, arresting and criticizing the person who framed Zhongliang in the first place.

But from the beginning to the end, the ruler will be fine, and the one who will do it is the one who executes.

Zhou Budo just expected that those martial generals would rebel, but others did not oppose after all. Kill it now, that's the cunning rabbit dead lackey cooked. In the future, even if the executor does not die, he will be ruined, and the possibility of not dying is very small.

"Zhou Budo is willing." Zhou Budo said immediately. He added another sentence: "Reform must begin with bloodshed, and bloodshed begins with Zhou Budo." ”

……

After Zhou Budo withdrew, Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying were silent for a long time, and Liu Zhang knew that from tonight onwards, Liu Zhang, like Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, would be a cold-blooded king.

"Your Majesty, I said that this is your final test." Huang Yueying said.

Liu Zhang hugged Huang Yueying, and once again violated his heart, he didn't want to kill but still wanted to kill, but now, Liu Zhang felt a lot better.

Maybe it's because you've done too much of this kind of thing, and you're numb, or maybe it's because you really understand that the so-called king is going to embark on such a path.

……

"Alas, General Ma, we have been living desperately for so many years, and the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood have come over, how many robes have died by our side? How many times have I almost died?

But now, diminishing titles? Although I, Wang Xiong, have never read a book, I also know that this fucking thing is simply unprecedented, and it is ridiculous in the world.

I am now a marquis, and I will become an earl for the next generation, Earl, what is the difference between that and not having a title? It was not easy for me Wang Xiong to buy some land and pass it on to my son, and most of it became leased land, which is really a ridiculous decree.

Not to mention grandchildren, great-grandchildren. At that time, my Wang family will have nothing, and when the time comes, my descendants will scold me Wang Xiong for being a fool, you see you Wang Xiong working hard and fighting hard, what did you spell out? It really doesn't make sense. ”

"Yes, alas, Your Majesty must have listened to the villain's instigation this time, it's really ...... Alas. ”

"In the past, it would have been clear of the monarch's side a long time ago."

"Shhhh

Listening to the discussion of the generals below, Ma Chao sat on it alone and drank wine, Ma Chao was a second-class prince, and the Ma family was not a traditional family, and he didn't care about any land.

But the Ma family is a famous family, and it is a famous family that has been standing in the world since Ma Yuan.

But from his own generation, the prince has become a duke, the duke has become a marquis, and the title after the marquis can basically be ignored, how can the Ma family gain a foothold at that time?

Abdicate to the earl, that must be lower than how many families have a lower status? It can be said that during the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, the Ma family could not be so few, it was a joke.

He Ma Chao is still the most accomplished general of the Ma family since Ma Yuan, and originally thought that being named the General of the Five Tigers could establish a higher prestige than Ma Yuan.

Unexpectedly, the decline of the Ma family actually started from his own generation, how did Ma Chao accept it.

Not only Ma Chao, but also Ma Tie, Ma Dai and others are also angry.

Ma Chao never thought of betraying Liu Zhang, but now the gap is too big, Ma Chao feels that his brain is confused, so he can only keep drinking, and the complaints of those generals around him have become background sounds, and the complaints of these generals are also deepening Ma Chao's resentment little by little.

"Report, report to the general, Zhou Budo suddenly came with a large number of troops, strong bows and crossbows, rocket cavalry, and has surrounded the mansion."

"What?" Ma Chao slapped the table and stood up, furious.

"Zhou Budo doubt that he turned against him, doesn't he know that this is the General's Mansion?" Pound, Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and others stood up at the same time.

"It's so lively, it's so lively." Zhou Budo walked in with a smile and saluted Ma Chao, "Although General Ma's birthday is still two months away, Zhou Budo congratulated him in advance." ”

"Zhou Budo, I, Ma Chao, took advantage of the fact that all the generals were celebrating their birthdays in Beijing in advance, what does it matter to you? What do you want to do here with your troops? ”

Zhou Budo waved his hand, and a deputy general took out a holy decree and read it aloud: "Passing on the emperor's imperial decree, Ma Chao, Pang De, Wang Xiong, Ma Dai and others, colluded with Huang Quan, framed the prince Liu Xun, and immediately detained him. ”

"What? This is slander. ”

"When did we collude with Huang Quan?"

Ma Chao suppressed the voices of the generals, looked at Zhou Budo coldly, and said: "Huang Quan framed Liu Xun, that is to pave the way for his nephew, what do you have to do with me?" ”

Although I don't know that Huang Quan framed Liu Xun, but when Liu Xun was slandered by the head of the sheep, only Xu Jing and others have been found out, but Xu Jing and others have no intention of harming Liu Xun at all, they are Cao Chong.

The person who framed Liu Xun didn't find out, and Zhou Budo said that it was Huang Quan, and there were nine letters out of ten, because only Huang Quan had a motive.

And at the beginning, the foreman of the package was found by Huang Quan, and he didn't know that he had found a person who was related to Captain Liu Xun's guards, but now that he knows, where do you not know what medicine is sold in Huang Quan's gourd?

"I don't know this, I'm just on an errand, if I have anything to say, go to the Yushitai and say it, take it, the rebels, kill on the spot, large-scale resistance, hard crossbows outside and fire at any time, dead or wounded."

"Yes."

A large number of soldiers poured into the hall, and all the generals knew the power of the Sichuan army's new crossbow arrows, and under this kind of dense and powerful crossbow arrows, Wang Yue couldn't get out, let alone the people here.

"I'll go to the Yushitai with you, and then I'll see what kind of crime you can charge Ma Chao for me."

Ma Chao was tied, and all the generals were detained and escorted out of the compound, but Zhou Budo did not order to leave, and all the crossbow arrows were still aimed at all the generals.

"Aren't you going to the Imperial Tower? Why not go? ”

"No need to go." Zhou Budo said coldly, and waved his hand: "All of them will be killed on the spot." ”

In the frightened eyes of all the generals, countless crossbow arrows were shot, overwhelming the sky, and the black and oppressive arrow rain almost blocked the light, and all of them shot at hundreds of civil and military forces.

These generals were all tied up, and they had no power to parry, including Ma Chao, all of them were nailed to the ground, and countless people stared at each other, dying.

Since the beginning of the bloodshed of reform, Ma Chao's government in Beijing staged the bloodiest scene.

The next day the sun shone out, and a killing without any justice ended.

……

More than 100 civil and military officers were killed, and the news spread through the streets and alleys the next day, and at the same time, Huang Quan was detained for framing Liu Xun, and countless civil officials were implicated and imprisoned.

Just like the Wuling massacre, on Chinese New Year's Eve, all civilian officials asked for beheading.

Huang Quan framed Liu Xun for Liu Kang, although Huang Yue was not guilty, but according to ancient regulations, he could not be exempted and deposed as Empress Huang Yue.

Hearing the great changes in Beijing, the Quartet shook, the most violent is Jiangdong, Wei Yanben was reluctant to write a letter to request the implementation of a decreasing title, Ma Chao and others died, and the rabbit died and the fox was sad.

Wei Yan clenched his saber, looked at the desk in front of him, and finally made up his mind, and put the sword on the desk, the hilt of the sword trembled, and the 100,000 troops of Jiangdong rebelled and quickly swept Jiangdong.

Liu Zhang sent the prince Liu Xun, with Zhou Budo Cao Chong as his military advisor, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Vulture Gu, Su Lan, and Wang Shuang as generals to conquer Wei Yan.

With the cooperation of the Ganning Navy and Zhuge Liang of Jiaozhou, Wei Yan's army quickly collapsed.

On the evening of Chinese New Year's Eve, Liu Zhang came to Huang Yue's palace, and Huang Yue sat alone in front of the attic looking at the distant sky.

Liu Zhang stood behind Huang Yue, he knew that Huang Yue was very sad now, and he wanted to comfort Huang Yue, but he didn't know how to exit it anymore.

If Huang Lan and the Huang family were killed last time, he could still say "I'm sorry", but now, I don't deserve to say the three words I'm sorry.

"Husband, do you remember that evening on Yushu Street in Chengdu? It's a pity that there is no Caixia here. Huang Yue looked at the gray sky in the distance and said quietly.

Liu Zhang's thoughts seemed to be pulled back to ten years ago.

"My lord, Huang Yue is willing to accompany you forever, I can't stabilize the rear for you like a civil official, I can't fight on the battlefield for you like a general, adults fight the world, blood stains mountains and rivers, and there will be times when you are tired, but when you are tired, Huang Yue can cook a bowl of soup for you and pour a cup of tea, if so, Huang Yue has no regrets in this life."
