Three Kingdoms: Unlimited Premium Gift Pack

Liu Yan smiled slightly, and said: "Of course it won't work based on this reason alone. However, if you add the actions of the two of you, it will be different. For example, old general Zhang Huan, he is wise and decisive, and he is kind and powerful. It is really rare. A handsome talent.

In the past few years, he changed his name to Zhang Wuwei, took up the post of Deputy Chief Protector of the West Lake Protectorate Mansion, and guarded the 36 countries in the Western Regions for my big man. He has made great contributions!

If General Zhang was alive, the 36 countries in the Western Regions could be completely included in our Han territory.You said, if Zhang Wuwei's real identity is announced in the future, can he be washed away, so what about the eternal infamy? "

"Okay you, old Zhang Huan! You actually took such a big advantage without saying a word, you...why didn't you say it earlier?"

It was only then that Duan Jiong realized that when he was in Luoyang Afu eunuch Wang Fu, he was scolded by the world.

Zhang Huan didn't get up after a setback, and he ate and waited to die in Xiliang.Instead, he changed his name and surname, and made a huge career in Xiliang.

Guarding the 36 countries in the Western Regions!

It's even more prestigious than when I was that Laoshizi Taiwei in Luoyang!

And most importantly.

In terms of guilt, Zhang Huan is much younger than himself.After all, Zhang Huan was tricked into participating in the coup, and then immediately resigned to show his innocence.

And what about myself?He took the initiative to attach to Wang Fu for several years, and he did countless bad things, the nature of which was extremely bad.

Zhang Huan can rely on guarding the 36 countries in the Western Regions to wash his hands, what should he do?Now, there is no other 36 countries in the Western Regions to guard for themselves.

Liu Yan seemed to see what Duan Jiong was thinking, and said, "Old General Duan, don't worry. If you want, you can guard the city of Malakanda and its surrounding areas for me.

There are all alien races there, and they are alien races that have nothing to do with my big man. They just need General Duan's extremely sharp Yitian sword to guard them!But those who dissatisfy...you can kill them! "

"Malacanda City and its surrounding areas?" Duan Jiong frowned slightly, and said, "Young Champion, I don't think I'm a petty official, and killing people is my old profession. I don't want to. But... I'm afraid this little credit can't wash away my eternal infamy, right?"

"Hahaha!" Liu Yan laughed loudly, and said, "Old General Duan, don't worry. You must know that what you are guarding now is the most border area of ​​my big man. This world is big, Guishuang, Anxi , Rome, are all powerful countries in the world standing side by side with my big man, are you afraid that there will be no battle?

As long as you spend the rest of your life wholeheartedly opening up territories for my great man and beheading stubborn enemies, are you afraid that you won't be able to wash away your eternal infamy? "

"As long as the old man spends the rest of his life wholeheartedly opening up the territory for my big man and beheading stubborn enemies, are you afraid that he won't be able to wash away his eternal infamy?"

Duan Jiong repeated this sentence, the more he chewed, the brighter his eyes became.

Suddenly, he stood up, bowed deeply to Liu Yan, and said, "Thank you, Champion, for giving this old man this opportunity to get rid of his eternal infamy. I, Duan Jiong, are willing to swear here: I will not win every day under the sun for the big man." One land, if you don't kill all the stubborn enemies for the big man, you won't return to the middle land!"

Obviously, the old general has made up his mind.

He wants to use the rest of his life to pay off his debts and atone for his sins!

"Okay! Old General Duan is truly commendable!" Liu Yan also stood up, raised his glass, and said, "Come, come, come, let's drink this cup together and congratulate Old General Duan on his new life."

"Dry!"

The three of you have a drink together!

Duan Jiong finally found a way to get rid of the eternal infamy, and his mood was completely relaxed.

Suddenly, his heart moved, he looked at Liu Yan, and said: "The champion just now compared the old man to the Yitian sword, and Zhang Laoer to the dragon sword. Then, what do you compare yourself to?"

"Am I..." Liu Yan said confidently, "I am the one who... holds the sword!"

"A man with a sword..."

This metaphor is not casual.

Zhang Huan was shocked, and said, "Could it be that... the Champion Hou has the intention of ruling the world? Now, isn't it the time?"

"Of course now is not the time. But..."

"how?"

Liu Yan smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "In ten or twenty years, it won't be certain."

Ten years later, the Yellow Turban Rebellion will definitely... be raging like a storm!

Chapter 135 Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty wants to blackmail Liu Yan

Ten years later, Luoyang, the Imperial Palace.

One year spent similar, each year is different.

Today, the owner of this imperial palace is neither the original Emperor Huan Liu Zhi of the Han Dynasty, nor Liu Yan's deadly opponent, the Queen Mother Dou, nor the eunuchs who won the shocking coup 14 years ago, but the emperor Liu Hong, who is called by later generations. The one who is Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty.

It must be explained that although Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty Liu Hong was a well-known faint emperor in history.

However, he is not exactly the kind of stupid and incompetent person who "why not eat meat", but a character like King Zhou of Shang who "is wise enough to refuse advice and speak enough to cover up wrongdoing".

Just four years after the shocking coup, when he was 17 years old, he had put to death the powerful eunuch Wang Fu by dividing up the eunuchs and sowing dissension, and soon actually took control of the government. power.

At that time, although the bureaucratic system of the Han Empire was old and decayed, it was still alive and functioning normally.

At that time, the Han Empire had nearly 6000 million people, the world was peaceful, and the treasury was full.

At that time, because of the previous Jinyang victory, Langjuxu victory, and Liu Yanping's annihilation of 36 countries in the Western Regions, the four barbarians were convinced.

Ordinarily, at this time, Liu Hong made great efforts to govern, and it is not impossible to achieve ZTE like the former Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.Even if he does nothing, he can still enjoy peace.

However, the problem is that, in fact, Liu Hong is not a stupid and incompetent person, but an extremely smart, proud and conceited person.

Since the situation is so good, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to collect more taxes and build more royal palace gardens, right?

It should be no problem for me to sell my officials to get money and raise more women in the harem, right?It shouldn't be a problem for me to indulge my trusted eunuchs to do evil, right?

In other words: Liu Hong knows that he has done many things wrong, but for his own selfish desires, he still lets it go.

Because, he believes, everything is under his control.As for the life and death of the common people in the world?He didn't care at all.

Ten years passed in a flash.

Eunuchs and their relatives bullied men and women, blackmailed and blackmailed, and turned many places into darkness, almost like hell on earth!

Those who spend a huge amount of money to buy officials want to get back their capital and make money, forcing many people to go bankrupt!

Even in some places, there are neither eunuchs doing evil nor greedy officials, but the heavy taxation ordered by the emperor himself makes the common people breathless.

Fortunately, at this time, the heavens are not beautiful.

Floods, severe droughts, earthquakes... All kinds of disasters came one after another. For a while, an unknown number of people were displaced, precarious and miserable.

The country's tax revenue has been reduced sharply, the anger of the people is surging, and the Taiping Road is expanding rapidly. The entire Han Empire seems to be sitting on a crater.It seems that at any time, it will be wiped out with the erupting volcano.

However, the 27-year-old Liu Hong, who is in the prime of his life, is still unaware that a fatal crisis is approaching, and is still addicted to pleasure.

His only worry now is the sharp reduction in tax revenue caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters, and his official position can no longer be sold for money, and his income has dropped sharply.

Where should I get the money?

Liu Hong's heart moved, and he turned his eyes to Liangzhou.

Glassware, glass mirrors, wine, wool fabrics, white salt, which one does not represent the wealth of the sky?

If you can make a fortune from Liu Yan, wouldn't everything be solved?

"so……"

Liu Hong slowly looked at the more than twenty eunuchs he had just assembled, and said, "Do you think that my idea of ​​getting a fortune from Liu Yan is feasible or not?"

"Your Majesty, don't do it! Absolutely don't do it!" Zhongchang Attendant Cao Jie immediately stood up and shouted: "The champion Hou Liu Yan is not easy to mess with! Is the Xianbei Lord Tan Shihuai very good at the time? Liu Yan chased him for thousands of miles and cut off his head!

Is King Guishuang powerful?The one who was beaten by Liu Yan ceded land and paid compensation, bowed his head and proclaimed himself a vassal!

Even the original Empress Dowager Dou had to pinch her nose and add an official to Liu Yan!Your Majesty, you stole money from Liu Yan, the consequences are unimaginable! "

"Huh? Is it that serious?"

Liu Hong said disapprovingly: "I am the Son of Heaven of the Great Han Dynasty. Is it possible that the whole world is the king's land, and the land on the shore is the king's subject. Could it be that he, Liu Yan, is not my subject?

My money is tight, what's wrong with asking him to pay tribute?Could it be that he still dared to risk the displeasure of the world by raising troops and rebelling? "

Cao Jie said: "It is of course impossible for Liu Yan to rebel against such a small matter. But he...he is likely to be very disrespectful to His Majesty and damage His Majesty's heavenly power!"

Liu Hong's expression became even more disdainful, and he said, "He dares? Let him have two guts! How did the Queen Mother Dou let him enter the capital? He used self-defilement to evade the court's recruitment.

It took a long time for Liu Yan to clear himself of his innocence by distributing newspapers with the prestige of destroying the 36 countries.

It can be seen from this that everyone in the world was frightened by Liu Yan's bluff.It is true that this person can be defeated, but how dare you..."

After a pause, Liu Hong squeezed his index finger and thumb into a ball, and said confidently, "That's just a little bit. He doesn't even dare to stand up to the Queen Mother Dou, let alone a real big man like me?"

This is Liu Hong's old problem: too confident.He thought that even if he made himself angry, he would not escape from his control!

The eunuchs around him, except for Cao Jie, were all newly promoted, completely unaware of the power of Liu Yan who oppressed the world more than ten years ago and forced Queen Mother Dou to bow her head.

At this time, they saw the emperor's will is so firm, they immediately clamored.

"Yes! What His Majesty said is absolutely true!"

"It is his honor to ask Liu Yan to contribute some money!"

"Who doesn't know that Liu Yan is as rich as an enemy? This time, he will bleed hard!"

"Liu Yan has to contribute at least 80...[-] billion yuan?"

"What is 80 billion yuan? At least one hundred... 200 billion!"

……

Well, now these eunuchs have echoed Emperor Liu Hong's opinion, and the number of contributions Liu Yan has reached has reached 200 billion.

You know, the total annual income of the Great Han Dynasty is only about 100 billion.

It's really a lion with a big mouth, and a snake swallows an elephant if people's hearts are not enough!

Seeing the turmoil of the crowd, Cao Jie backed away silently, wisely protecting himself, and dared not act like a horse.

Seeing this situation, Liu Hong felt more and more that his judgment was correct, and said, "200 billion? What kind of money is 200 billion? Is it worth opening my mouth once? My annual income of the imperial court is only about 500 billion. It is true, but the former Han The annual income of the imperial court is about [-] billion. So..."

After a pause, Liu Hong looked at the eunuchs and said, "I don't know which lover is willing to go to Liangzhou. Force Liu Yan to contribute... 500 billion yuan to me!"

Chapter 136 Liangzhou is prosperous, the shocked eunuch

When Liu Hong's words fell to the ground, the audience suddenly fell silent.

500 billion, this is 500 billion!

The total income of the Han court for five years!

Even if the lion opened its mouth wide, the emperor, the lion, opened its mouth too big, right?

You know, when Emperor Guangwu established his country, he also wanted to measure the land of the whole country so that the tax revenue of the court could reach the level of the former Han Dynasty.

The results of it?Soon the world will be full of turmoil and rebellions will continue!

Even if he was as wise as Emperor Guangwu, he had no choice but to shrink back in the end, accepting the fact that the income of the later Han court was only [-]% of that of the former Han.

This time, the emperor Liu Hong wants to squeeze out the total income of the Western Han Dynasty court from Liu Yan, a fat sheep!

Is this too much?

Can Liu Yan not be impatient?

"What? My loves think that I want too much money?" Liu Hong said disapprovingly, "I tell you, it's not much at all. Because, 15 years have passed since the Jinyang victory!

In the past 15 years, Liangzhou's tax revenue has gradually increased, and now the annual tax revenue for the imperial court alone has reached 30 billion!

It is also with these 30 billion that the total revenue of the imperial court has reached about 100 billion.

Otherwise, there may not be 80 billion.My Dahan business tax is fifteen and one tax, tell yourself, how much money can Liu Yan make?I don't care if Liu Yan wants 500 billion, is that much? "

"Then...doesn't that mean that Liu Yan's annual income is nearly 500 billion? Much higher than the imperial court's income! Is this true?"

"Of course it's true! After the tax, can it be fake? You know, the glass mirrors, glassware, wine and other items in Liu Yan's hands are not only sold in us big men, but also sold to Western countries. Can the money be less? ?”

"As rich as a country, Liu Yan is really as rich as a country!"

"Hey, if you want His Majesty to say that, knocking Liu Yan 500 billion is really not much!"

"Your Majesty, this servant is willing to go to Liangzhou and asks Liu Yan to donate 500 billion to His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, leave this job to your servant! The servant is loyal to His Majesty, and the sun and the moon can learn from each other!"

"Your Majesty, since I have served you for so many years, and I have worked hard without any merit, let me go!"

……

Well, after Liu Hong's explanation, all the eunuchs' eyes were red, and they all asked for orders to go to Liangzhou, and beat Liu Yan's bamboo stick hard——

Liu Yan gave the emperor 500 billion benefits, so he can't be too stingy with himself, right?

It doesn't take much, if I can knock billions from Liu Yan, it will take me dozens of lifetimes to use up!Ha ha!
