The king's hegemony lasts for thousands of generations, and the imperial power is surrounded by thousands of bones.
For the sake of a crown and power that dominates the world, what does it matter if a few people die? How did he die? What does it matter?
Seeing the desolation in front of him, Liu Yi seemed to understand a little bit why his majesty in Chang'an wanted to boil the frog in warm water.
After forty or more years of development, the aristocratic families entrenched all over the world, whether at the local level, at the central level, in the officialdom, or in the Jianghu, have intricate networks of relationships and the hard power to dominate one side. Cutting the tangle of knots, cemeteries like this will probably be spread all over the Han Dynasty!
There are capable people around the emperor. The "Five Grain Civil Order" seems to be a book that guides the people in farming, but it contains the art of farming. The "Weiyang Dian" seems to be a new law to restrict the royal family, but it contains the opportunity to cut down the vassal.
Once the two new policies are fully implemented, from then on, the recipients of merit will be granted titles but not land, and will be rewarded with wealth but not land. After the existing aristocratic families in the territory of the Han Dynasty are weakened, they are afraid that their descendants will be extinct.
Thinking of this, Liu Yi felt happy: Haha! Let's see the king of gods holding an ax and ax, destroying his roots and pulling out his branches.
It is really not easy for a thirteen-year-old, fledgling boy to think of this!
Although this is related to Liu Quansheng's sincere teachings, it is also inseparable from the enlightenment from Zi Qidong. The mysterious and magical Taoist skills are hidden in Liu Yi's body like air, acting subtly and constantly enlightening him. His insight and analytical skills are far superior to those of his age, and even compared to many talented adults, he does not give in to others.
Liu Yi rubbed his head and laughed at himself, "Hey! I'm thinking a little too far. I am just a dispensable pawn. If I conscientiously complete the five counties of Pingtian, even if it is a great achievement, there will be no chance to sit down and discuss matters with the emperor in this life. ?”
The young man was alone in a desolate tomb, his mind as calm as water, and he gradually thought about many things clearly.
After the trip to western Liaoning, the task of leveling the fields in the three counties of Bozhou has been completely completed. After returning to Huaxing County and handing the piano insect to old Zhao Yao, Zhao Yao will definitely fulfill his promise and hand over the thousand acres of fertile land in his hands. With Zhao Yao handing over the fields, the great cause of Pingtian in Huaxing County has also come to an end. In this way, Pingtian in the five counties has passed through the four counties, which can be said to be more than half accomplished.
The rest is the Zhending Zhao family located in Fanggu County.
The beginning of everything in this world is difficult. I heard my father say: The beginning of Pingtian and Pingtian is the five counties of Pingtian. In order to give Pingtian a smooth start, the emperor actually chose Pingtian at the junction of Bozhou and Quzhou after careful planning and calculation. Five counties serve as the starting point of Pingtian. In order to get a smooth start, Emperor Liu Yan had deployed a series of secrets in the five counties many years ago to remove the strong obstacles in the five counties.
As the emperor's favorite and the emperor's pawn, his father naturally participated in the great cause of clearing the five counties.
Clearing obstacles for the emperor, this may be the real reason why his father eradicated the Liu family.
The Fanggu Zhao family was a well-known family with a military background, but since the emperor designated Fanggu County as one of the first large counties in Pingtian, he must have considered it thoroughly. Liu Yi guessed that the Fanggu Zhao family would not be difficult to deal with.
Liu Yi thought deeply, and in his memories, he gradually discovered every trace of something unusual.
From Grandpa Dongfang coming to Lingyuan City, to traveling all the way north to Bozhou, to his father eradicating the most powerful Lingyuan Liu family in Huaxing County, to receiving the Pingtian Order of the Five Counties, until now, these seemingly unrelated things have actually Like filaments, they silently formed a large invisible net, tightly entangled around Liu Yi. In the end, Liu Yi only wanted to let the five counties level the fields for one thing.
This surprised Liu Yi. After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out why the emperor wanted him to go to Pingtian in the five counties. Was it just for the sake of the kindness between his father and the emperor?
Haha, the Tian family has been very ruthless since ancient times. At least Liu Yi didn't believe this reason.
Then, he shook his head vigorously and grinned to himself: Tianjia's thoughts are unpredictable, but he thinks too much!
The breeze blew on his face, and Liu Yi gradually woke up from his meditation.
Looking at the seemingly endless tombstones in front of him, he began to make calculations.
What he has to deal with right now is to immediately pay a visit to Liaoxi County Governor Xie An, and end his trip north to the Lingyuan Mountains as soon as possible. After returning to Lingyuan City, he will accumulate strength, reorganize his troops, beware of Jiang Ruisheng and Jiang Feng, and quickly pacify Quzhou. The fields of the two counties.
Also, try your best to kill as few people as possible during the process. The rest is an afterthought!
...
The leaves were falling in the autumn wind, and the sound of soft footsteps recalled Liu Yi from deep thought.
Liu Yi regained his energy and looked sideways, only to see Su Daoyunzhai wearing a royal robe, walking lightly towards him.
Liu Yi stood up, straightened his clothes, held his breath and greeted everyone with a smile.
When Su Daoyun saw Liu Yi, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Master Liu, you...!"
Su Daoyun was surprised for a while, then immediately calmed down. With a look of relief on his face, he stood up and said, "Master Liu, you came to visit the martyred soldiers! I will be very grateful."
Liu Yi nodded, "Well, let's stop by and take a look. Don't forget what you shouldn't forget!"
Seeing Su Daoyun coming, Liu Yi suddenly felt a warm current filling his heart, and his inexplicably lonely heart suddenly found some solace.
A strong man died for his country and a hero left. These two things should not be forgotten hastily. Even if not many people remember it, it would be nice if someone remembers it.
Su Daoyun's face was full of excitement and joy. He pointed to the tombstones surrounding him and sighed softly, "The river goes east, old friends say goodbye to the west, the long river of history rolls forward, and the people lying here are like being photographed by the surging river. The waves on the shore are wonderful, but fleeting."
Su Daoyun's voice was trembling, "They are the benefactors of this land, but now, they are reduced to the point where there are no grave sweepers. Haha, Liu Pingtian, is this considered ungrateful?"
Feeling Su Daoyun's sadness, Liu Yi whispered, "They will not be forgotten, at least, I will not."
Su Daoyun was also an open-minded and open-minded person. He complained a few words, sniffed lightly, his eyes wandered, and smiled, "Oh, Mr. Liu, just come here, and you even brought fine wine?"
After hearing this, Liu Yi laughed loudly and raised the wine jar, "The old wine collected in Hanfeng Temple is worth drinking every jar. Only soldiers who go to battle to kill the enemy are worthy of drinking it."
Su Daoyun's steps were light, and he came closer, smiling like the rising sun, "Brothers don't have the ability to take it orally, I'll do it for you!"
"good!"
The two opened the wine jar and each took a sip.
Liu Yi approached a tombstone, pulled out the withered grass from the grave, and while arranging the grave, asked, "Brother Su, do you often come here to visit your old friend?"
"It will come when nothing happens!"
Having worked with Liu Yi twice, Su Daoyun, who had always been a bit dull, felt a little emotional for the first time today. After thinking about it, he felt that his sigh just now was a bit unkind, so he tried to mediate, "Sir, the population in western Liaoning is already sparse, and recently it has become even more... I was busy with the autumn harvest and the peace fields, so I neglected to take care of the martyrs' cemetery, which is understandable. However, people in western Liaoning never dare to forget what they should not forget. I was the one who complained just now because I was rude!"
Liu Yi is so smart that he doesn't bother to listen to Su Daoyun's explanation. How many days does it take for a hundred feet of grass on a grave to grow? Is this clumsy cover-up too far-fetched?
Therefore, Liu Yi only nodded slightly and did not respond at all. He still lowered his head to clean.
This actually made Su Daoyun a little embarrassed.
After cleaning up a small area, Liu Yi was slightly drunk, sat down, patted the place next to him, pointed at the wine jar, suddenly laughed, and said, "Brother Su, one sip of this wine is not enough for one person." Okay, today, how about getting a little tipsy with Brother Su and trying to get a hangover another day?"
"Thanks to Mr. Liu for not giving up, I will accompany you as an official."
Su Daoyun sat down and took the initiative to open the altar for drinking.
Liu Yi took the wine jar, took a swig, and said boldly, "Brother Su, I am just a young man. Besides, you and I have no affiliation. Brother Su can just call me Brother Liu. There is no need to be too rigid in the officialdom." Red tape!”
"That's not okay. Officials have official ethics, and politeness means courtesy. If you continue to be humble, I'm afraid I will spit out the wine!" Su Daoyun said seriously, looking at his expression, he was not joking at all.
As the setting sun blew the shakuhachi, Liu Yi looked at Su Daoyun with admiration, "Brother Su is upright, loyal, and has a polite manner. Having you in charge of Liaoxi is really a blessing to the people of Liaoxi!"
"Master Liu is so complimentary!"
Su Daoyun may have been inspired by this. He drank heavily, stood up, raised his sword and said, "In the past, I, Emperor Xiaoren, held a golden mirror to shine, and beat jade drums to clang. In the world, all clouds broke through the fog, and followed the dragon and the tiger. In the past, I, Emperor Shenwu, , where Wang Xi is imprisoned, where his majesty is derailed, when the soldiers of Qin Dynasty disintegrate and disappear, that is the great blessing of the world. The little ink and ability of the lower official can only be regarded as supporting the family, otherwise, Jin Zhao would have been dismissed long ago If he is slaughtered, will it be his turn to cause harm to the country for decades?"
"All officials in the world are officials who support the people, and everything in the world is about supporting the people. Mr. Su, there is no need to belittle yourself, just be yourself!" Liu Yi replied lightly, not wanting to have this entanglement with Su Daoyun again.
As the wine got darker, the two of them started to drink more and more, and their faces gradually turned crimson.
After a few sips of wine, Liu Yi raised his head slightly and said with a smile, "My father once told me that when a person is sad, he should never drink, as he will easily become an alcoholic. But if you get together with your close friends and drink, Maybe he’ll become a wine master!”
Su Daoyun probably hadn't drunk such a mellow old wine for a long time. He was very drunk and had a hint of Jianghu spirit. He said boldly, "Good wine! It's really a good wine. I would like to thank you for your kindness on behalf of my brothers." La! Hahaha."
"Hehe, Brother Su is lucky. I only have one jar of this wine left in Pingtian Army. That guy Wang Dali always comes to ask for it, but I ruthlessly reject him!"
Liu Yi was flushed and half-drunk. He was about to throw an olive branch and asked, "Brother Su, in today's states, the imperial power is weak and the clan power is strong. It is the time for us to serve the country. Brother Su, Lao Ji Fufeng, Have you ever thought about following this order to see the great rivers and mountains?"
The autumn wind blew, opening the young man's heart.
33
Some people died, but not completely...
