Uncle, please help the Han family

However, that vigilant look became more and more obvious.

chap——

Accompanied by a deep dragon chant, Liu Yu's sword inserted into the scabbard.

The condensed atmosphere suddenly melted away.

The corners of the mouth curled up slightly, looking at Zhao Gai who was at the side, and asked: "Mr. Zhao, do you think the world today belongs to the Liu family?"

"...Of course! It has been more than [-] years since the great ancestor created the Han Dynasty. Although there was Wang Mang's chaotic government in the middle, I, Emperor Guangwu, set up the teacher of the king, revived the court, and helped the big man. The world today must be the world of the Liu family! "As for this very politically sensitive question, Zhao should answer every detail, starting directly from orthodoxy.

Moreover, the 400-year-old Han Guozuo has been continuous, and there is no sign of destruction. It may change in the future, but how could it be possible to perish in my own generation?

"Then how did I hear that the world today is ruled by the great general He Jin and the eunuch's ten servants." Liu Yu asked lightly.

"..." Zhao Ying was a little speechless, so he had to lower his head, and said with some hatred, "It is true that today's people are fatuous and corrupt, with trusted eunuchs and ministers, ignoring the government, and using foreign relatives heavily, which led to He Jin, who killed pigs, in power. Monsters are rampant."

"But the world is still Han, how could it be the world of He Jin, the world of the ten permanent attendants?" After Zhao Gaiyi finished speaking, he asked Liu Yu quite incomprehensibly, "My lord, who did you listen to?" ?”

I made it up myself.

Liu Yu felt that Zhao Gai's reaction was very normal, and he was not the kind of stubborn person.

At least here, his respect for himself is higher than that of the emperor.

As the head of the clan, Liu Yu directly said to Zhao Gai in a tone of 'you outsiders don't know': "Tell me a secret of the royal family. I will only tell you this matter."

"..." Zhao Gai gulped down a mouthful of saliva, not knowing what royal secrets Liu Yu was going to say.

Scandal?

There are too many scandals in the royal family, and I can't finish it in one night.

Of course, Liu Yu didn't gossip, but opened up: "The Son of Heaven, his life is not long."

"The emperor's life is not long?" Zhao Gai was so frightened that he showed a terrified expression, and his whole body froze. "This, is this true?"

Yes, died a year later.

How did Han Lingdi die?

Rush to death.

Speaking of Emperor Han Ling, this emperor has a major characteristic that most emperors have-lust.

And his lust is very unrestrained.

He once ordered the construction of a nude swimming pool in the harem, in which the ladies and ladies did not wear clothes, and then the emperor indulged in it for a long time, drunk and dreaming, drinking and drinking.And his lust is not limited to this, in the harem, the atmosphere is very extravagant and chaotic, these beauties and concubines in the room are basically wearing crotch pants in order to please the emperor and make it convenient for the emperor.

Can such a person die early?

Such a person can handle state affairs?

Therefore, although the demise of the Han Dynasty was due to the power of foreign relatives and eunuchs, the root cause was that the emperor was too absurd.

In this era of family tianxia (the world belongs to one family), the character and talent of the person at the top determines the rise and fall of the country.

Why Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei sighed and hated Yu Huanling was because they were most responsible for the demise of the Han Dynasty. To be more precise, they started the "buying official system" and restarted the "disaster of the party" to collapse the entire state apparatus. Emperor Ling is most responsible.

In Liu Yu's opinion.

Emperor Ling, one paratrooper.

"There is no lie, His Majesty said it to me personally." After Liu Yu finished speaking, he turned around and left his back to Zhao Gai.

Is the emperor dying?

Zhao Gai had met the emperor before he left, and he didn't look like a dying person, but he had to believe Liu Yu's words.

Because Liu Yu had served as Zongzheng before, this official position was listed as Jiuqing, in charge of the affairs of the clan, and his status was very prominent.For example, a family has an elder, and a clan has a patriarch, and Zong Zheng is equivalent to the acting patriarch of the Liu family.

If you put it in the past, this is an incredible character, a top Tianlong person.

But because Emperor Huandi and Lingdi favored eunuchs and reused relatives, this led to the clan's power falling aside.

All in all, the Liu family's affairs are naturally better understood by the Liu family.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at Zhao Gai, Liu Yu stretched out a hand and said, "Master Zhao sit and talk."

Although Zhao Gai was a little apprehensive, it was because what happened today and the topics discussed today were all too rebellious.However, he still found a stool, sat down and talked, and listened to what the lord's plan was.

Thus, Liu Yu began to fool around.

"Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world has been in turmoil, and heroes have risen together. The so-called states and counties have not been restricted by the central government, and they have become small kingdoms." Regarding the current situation in the world, Liu Yu detailed, "Yizhou Liu Yan sent Zhang Lu to guard Hanzhong to resist the imperial court. Ma Teng in Xiliang was ambiguous with the Qiang and Hu tribes, and connived at his subordinates to make troubles and three assistants. Not to mention these things, this Gongsun Zan of Liaodong, on the surface, was under my control, but Look at this man...does he look like a servant?"

"No."

Zhao Gai admitted that Gongsun Zan really didn't respect the lord.

And like other warlords, Gongsun Zan is not under the control of the court at all.

The regular army of the entire Han court was only 28, but he, Gongsun Zan, had more than [-] troops. What is self-reliance?

Because this is in a private inner room, Liu Yu didn't care so much, and said without hesitation: "According to my observation, the emperor may not live long, and will collapse within two years. How will that change?"

"How...how will it change?" Zhao Gai felt himself becoming nervous.

"Big changes." Liu Yu stretched out his index finger and said seriously, "At least two forces will take the opportunity to rise."

Zhao Gai replied, "Eunuchs and relatives."

"That's right. And these two forces will compete for the throne." Liu Yu said further, with a very firm tone.

Why so sure?

Because after the death of Emperor Ling, the two women, Empress He and the Queen Mother, began to compete for the right to inherit the throne.

The eunuch forces represented by Empress Dowager Dong urged Liu Xie to ascend the throne, while the relative forces represented by Empress He He Jin supported Prince Liu Bian to ascend the throne.

Then, the two forces began to fight openly and secretly, and that adult would take advantage of the situation to take over the capital.

From then on, the second chapter of Devouring Heaven and Earth - Resisting Dong Zhuo begins.

Therefore, what Zhao Gai needs to convince now is that the collapse of the big man started from the mess left by Emperor Ling.

And after the death of Emperor Ling, there will definitely be a party struggle between the two empresses (empress dowager).

"Prince Liu Bian ascended the throne...isn't it a matter of course?" Zhao Gai showed a puzzled look.

"Yes. But the queen mother will fight and desperately support Liu Xie to ascend the throne."

"No way……"

"It will definitely be, Liu Xiesiri is insightful, and has the appearance of an emperor."

This kid can be as young as he is, and I watched him grow up.

"However, it's never Liu Xie's turn to be emperor."

"Why are you so sure?"

Liu Yu is getting impatient, why do you have to struggle with such an easy-to-understand question, are you a paratrooper?

"Because Liu Xie..."

Zhao Gai finally settled down in Bengbu, showing a sweaty and soybean expression: "She is a princess."

Chapter 19 Recasting the Glory of the Great Han

"?"

Liu Yu put a question mark on his face.

He didn't know if the paratrooper was himself or Zhao Gai.

But he understands that things seem to be different from what he imagined.

How should I put it, under normal circumstances, the wheel of history is rolling forward, but at this moment, the wheel TM took off directly in Wuhu, and even the car was ignored! .

In the history of Chinese feudal society, there was only one female emperor, and that was Wu Zetian!

Could it be that, because of the unprecedented improvement in the status of women, after a year, there will be a heaven...

Goddess? !

"Don't be surprised. There will definitely be a battle between Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He. The purpose is to win the throne. And Liu Xie is one of the pawns." Liu Yu felt that it is not impossible for a female emperor to appear. Zi Yu and Gongsun Zan are both women, so It shows that because of the appearance of the mother stone, this era is full of infinite possibilities.

"...This, this is it."

Zhao Gai now regrets coming to the State Shepherd's Mansion. He would rather know nothing about the Shenshi than listen to the lord talking nonsense here.

Liu Xie as the emperor?

Since ancient times, there has never been a saying that a princess should be an emperor.

Princess Liu Xie did show her intelligence. Compared with the weak Liu Bian, she was much stronger. Being a female official is no problem. ) such a high-level civil official, and with the status of a princess, maybe it is really feasible.

But to be emperor?

That's ridiculous.

If Liu Xie becomes emperor, who will she pass the throne to?

her child?

However, if her child follows her husband's surname, then the 'not the Liu family but the king, the world will punish him' will be triggered.

If her child's surname is Liu, then the tradition of "children take their father's surname" will be violated, and it will also cause social shock.

In this regard, the only solution may be——Liu Xie married another member of the Liu family.

In this case, the surname, bloodline, and etiquette are relatively obeyed, and the bloodline is really free of impurities, pure royal.

However, since the Western Zhou Dynasty, there has been a tradition of not intermarriage with the same surname, and two people of the Liu family cannot get married.

However, the surnames in the Han Dynasty were confused, and the ban on intermarriage with the same surname seems to be less strict...

No, why should I seriously consider such an absurd thing? !

Zhao Gai wanted to beat himself up now, how could he be so dull and think so seriously about the lord's joke.

So, he shook his head, cleared the mud in his mind, and returned to the topic: "My lord, is the purpose of your robbery stone for your own use?"

"Yes, but not." Liu Yu turned into a riddle, and replied unhurriedly, "It is not only for my Youzhou, but also for my big man."

For the sake of Youzhou, Zhao should be able to understand, because if he masters this kind of weapon, it will be more beneficial for the barbarians to fight. After all, it is a rare big rough stone, and depending on the quality, he may be able to forge three orange weapons.

You know, there are less than [-] soldiers of the country that are hidden in the imperial court today.

"I know that Duke Ming is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty." Zhao Gai also fell into the crossroads of choice, and seemed extremely contradictory, "But..."

"You don't think the act of intercepting the sacred stone is considered a loyal minister, right?" Liu Yu asked in a rather humorous tone.

"I don't dare." Zhao Gai quickly waved his hand, denying what Liu Yu said, but not all of it, "Duke Ming opposed the expansion of the local princes, so before taking office, he told his subordinates that Gongsun Zan must be cut down. The army. But after coming to Youzhou, the lord not only did not lay off Gongsun Zan's army, but instead used all the money to expand the army. This is really hard for me to understand."

Commonly known as - double standard.

Oppose separatist regimes, so you county guards and state shepherds cannot separatist regimes.

In order to preserve the strength of the big man, I want to separate one side and recruit troops.

"Indeed." Liu Yu had nothing to argue with what the other party said, and sighed, "A gentleman doesn't care about his deeds, and no one is perfect in the world."

"...My lord's words are very ingenious."

Liu Yu's understatement made Zhao Gai suddenly fall into deep thought.Because this "famous saying" that I have never heard of seems to contain a lot of content.

And he happens to be a scholar who has read a lot of books, so he will naturally savor them carefully.

A gentleman doesn't care about his heart when he talks about his deeds, and no one is perfect in the world.

Well said.

The ancient gentleman refers to people with high moral character, but this kind of virtue is actually something that cannot be quantified.

What does it mean to be a gentleman?

No one can tell, but common people are definitely not gentlemen.

A gentleman should have nothing to do with Nongsang, so a gentleman should be... one of the Four Gentlemen of the Warring States Period?

However, judging from the results, none of the four gentlemen can be regarded as a gentleman, and they might as well be called the four powerful ministers of the Warring States Period.

Liu Yu didn't expect Zhao Gai to be a man of culture, so he said, "So, Mr. Zhao also agrees that whether a person is a gentleman should be based on his behavior rather than his heart, right?"

"...Well, yes, it should be so."
