Liu Xi: 23 years old Command: 71 Force: 67 Intelligence: 64 Politics: 66 Charisma: 67 Aptitude: abacc

Stunt: Encourage [our morale rises] (secondary auxiliary skill)

His abilities are not much different from Liu Kun's, both of them are capable of both literary and military skills, but they are still far behind in terms of being outstanding, but it is more than enough for the governor of a county.

The special skill is [Lun Ke], which is the same as Jian Yong's special skill. It should have persuaded Liu Xiu to surrender Liu Yang in history, so there is this special skill.

Liu De then went to the government office accompanied by all the ministers. During Liu De's expedition, Jian Yong actually did another thing, which was to choose an office location for Liu De. Beiping was the capital of Yang Tianlong when he established the Zhao Kingdom. Therefore, the government offices of all officials are complete, but Liu De's office is missing.

Yang Tianlong does have a palace where Liu De can handle government affairs, but Liu De thinks that he is a duke, living in the palace is obviously overstepping, although this palace was built by a false emperor, not the real emperor of Zhou royal palace.

So Jian Yong directly chose a mansion next to the imperial palace as Liu De's office. That mansion was also where Yang Tianlong's clan once lived, but it was left vacant because of Yang Tianlong's defeat.

And now Liu De is going to his own office - Hangong Mansion.

When he arrived at the Han government office, one of the first things Liu De dealt with was how to deal with the rebellious family in Beiping.

Jian Yong said forward: "My lord, the enemy general Yang Ping died in the battle, and all the soldiers under his command were also taken prisoner, as well as the 37 direct descendants of the aristocratic families who colluded with the enemy were all imprisoned. There is not enough space in the prison, and the rest of them can only be temporarily imprisoned in their mansion, and their clan soldiers are also being detained in the barracks..."

"Can those clan soldiers resist?"

Liu De had also learned about Yannan's strategy on the way, and thanks to Yannan's strategy, he unloaded those evil-minded clan soldiers, otherwise they would be a time bomb at the top of the city, which would explode at any time.

Chen Tang came out and said: "My lord, some soldiers did attack the gate, but most of them were shot to death by random arrows from the archers guarding the gate."

Liu De knew that the aristocratic families controlled most of the knowledge, land, population and power, and only a small part was donated to the soldiers and children from poor families in the border counties.

That's right, in the eyes of the family, this is charity.

No matter how you attack the family, subject to the current level of productivity and the level of education of the people, it is inevitable for the gentry class to become the ruling class. The most important thing is the decay in the late Zhou Dynasty, which gave the family a chance to develop powerfully. This is even more so now, the central government has completely collapsed, and the local areas are basically all private territories of powerful families.

Therefore, my goal in the future is to take a multi-pronged approach. On the one hand, the imperial examinations should be launched. Before the opening of the imperial examinations, the first thing to solve is to make paper. Without paper, the so-called imperial examinations will not be possible with the current bamboo slips alone.The ones who passed the exam were still the children of those aristocratic families.

The bulkiness and inconvenience of bamboo slips are always the most important factors to check and balance the spread of culture.

On the other hand, support the new aristocrats more and compete with the aristocratic families, but this may cause the new aristocrats to slowly degenerate and decay into those old aristocratic families.

There is also the army, the army must be in the hands of the monarch, Liu De does not want his descendants to die in the water like those emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

Back to the topic, although Liu De wanted to execute all the 37 family members, but doing so would do more harm than good, and would plunge the entire Jizhou into turmoil and unrest.

The fact is that it's so frustrating, someone rebelled against Liu De, but Liu De still wants to appease this group of aristocratic families and show his broad mind to calm the hearts of the people.

However, apart from killing fewer people, Liu De is ready to repair and repair this family, at least to confiscate most of the privileges of these families.

So Liu De said to all the officials angrily: "Conspiracy is a heinous crime, not to mention that the enemy is the false emperor Yang Tianlong. When the Beiping family followed Yang Tianlong to become emperor, I have already let the past go. Goulian and the puppet emperor want to rebel, how can I tolerate them! Come, send an order to execute all the 37 noble families, show their heads to the public, and hang their heads on the top of the city to shock the little ones!"

"My lord, no!"

Xu Shu, Gao Yan, and Gao Lin all came out and retorted to Liu De.

Liu Zhi and other tyrants who joined later, as well as the families who had not rebelled before, were also a little pale and frightened. Speaking of which, these families said they were wronged, but they were not wronged. information.

But if it is not wronged, it is quite wronged. After all, except for some of the clan soldiers, all of them did not take any action. If they did not take any action, what is it?Attempted rebellion?

There is no definite evidence such as letters for the so-called treason, all of which are confessions.

So to say that all executions will definitely make people feel dissatisfied, and it will even make people feel fearful, especially in ancient times. Communication is not smooth. When the news spreads to other state capitals, maybe what Liu De will be described as!

Executioner?

Therefore, it is very detrimental to Liu De, and even more detrimental to the Dukedom of Han that he finally established.

But Liu De has his own intentions...

Gao Yan said to Liu De: "My lord, the execution of 37 gentry families will inevitably cause turmoil in Jizhou, and it will also be detrimental to the reputation of the lord. Please also learn from the lord."

Gao Yan didn't mention any lack of evidence. He didn't have to guess that these aristocratic families definitely had rebellious intentions, but they were resolved by Yan Nan's ingenious plan and didn't have time to implement it. Therefore, Gao Bin could only persuade Liu De from other aspects.

Liu De looked at Gao Lin. This was Gao Lin's first conversation with Liu De in the political hall since he became an official.

Gao Lin said in a deep voice: "My lord establishes the world with benevolence and slaughters the family. It will definitely make the world centrifugal and hinder the lord's future hegemony. If the lord spares everyone with benevolence, they will be grateful and die in return!"

Let the family be grateful to Dade?It's a bit of a nonsense!But Gao Lin dared to say this because he was thinking of Liu De.

Liu De looked at Xu Shu again.

Xu Shu cupped his hands and said: "I have the same opinion as the two Gao lords, and I hope that the lord will be punished a little, and all of them will be executed. Beiping will flow blood into rivers, and the world will change color, which is not conducive to the return of scholars."

After Liu De listened, he nodded and said to everyone: "The three lords are all right, but after all, it is treason. If I acquit them, wouldn't it destroy my prestige? People in the world laugh at me? "

"Where is Dai Zong?" Liu De shouted.

"The end is here!"

Dai Zong came out.

"Have you found out who the aristocratic families who are trying to break out of the tent are?"

"Reporting to my lord, I have already found out! There are a total of six aristocratic families..."

"Okay, don't tell me which six families they are. All the patriarchs of these aristocratic families will show their heads to the public. There is a shortage of people in Beizhou to build the Great Wall, and all the remaining clansmen will be distributed to the frontier. The remaining aristocratic families can use money to redeem their lives, which is regarded as giving them A lesson, after all, life is more important than money, isn't it?"

Of the 37 gentry families, only six heads were beheaded, and the lives of the rest were saved. Although the northern border is dangerous, there is still a way to survive, isn't it?

And money is really nothing to the family, and all the officials can see that Liu De didn't really want to execute the whole family, but just wanted to teach these families a lesson, which also made many people look confused. relax.

But the following sentence let some aristocratic families know Liu De's ultimate goal.

"From now on, no family is allowed to have more than a hundred soldiers, but if they find out, they will be severely punished!" Liu De sternly said.

Liu De's ultimate goal is to use this excuse to eliminate the family's right to own soldiers. After all, the family alone can gather nearly ten thousand soldiers that do not belong to them, which makes no ruler feel at ease.

"I will obey..."

Liu De came back with a great victory. Fifty thousand Huren were wiped out in one battle, and the Huren King Otto was captured. The false emperor Yang Tianlong's ten thousand soldiers were also wiped out. Who can stop Liu De's soldiers? Knowing that Liu De's power is now established, how can he compete with it?

I can only bow my head and obey orders.

The aristocratic family is just a bunch of scumbags, if they don't repair it, they really don't know what their last name is.

After dealing with the aristocratic family, basically there are some miscellaneous trivial matters left, and Liu De pushed all these matters to Xu Shu and others.

"Where is the convoy from Liaocheng?"

The convoy in Liaocheng refers to the family members of all the generals heading to Beiping.
