In the early spring of 184 AD, Tang Zhou, a disciple of Zhang Jue of Taiping Dao, reported that Zhang Jue was planning to commit rebellion. Ma Yuanyi, the divine envoy of Taiping Dao, was arrested, and all the thousands of followers he had gathered were arrested.

However, the call for rebels on Taiping Road has already spread, spreading from the area around Luoyang to Jingyang.

The sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established, and the age of Jiazi will be good for the world.

After reading the slogan "Poetry is not poetry, words are not words", Liu Hong slammed the memorial in front of Zhang Rang.

"Damn it! Look, look at the good things you have done." Liu Hong shouted to Zhang Rang.

Not knowing why, Zhang Rang carefully picked up the memorial. The incident of Taiping Road rebellion just made him raise his eyebrows slightly. Looking back, Zhang Rang's eyelids twitched.

I only saw that the first half of the memorial details everything before and after Tang Zhou's report, emphasizing that the matter was serious and required Liu Hong to make a decision as soon as possible.

The quality of the Sujuan used for the memorial was very average. I am afraid that it was because I could not see Liu Hong in person and I was worried that eunuchs would peek and suppress the memorial halfway.

The second half details the culpability of Zhang Rang and others, explaining that the Taiping Dao rebellion was all caused by the eunuchs' evil deeds.

How could he send his relatives to occupy important local positions, monopolize wealth and profits, rob the people of all kinds of wealth, ask Liu Hong to chop off the heads of ten regular servants in the palace, and hang their heads to sue the world, so that the disaster will be averted, etc.

After a closer look, Zhang Rang was furious. Zhang Jun! What a great doctor!

"Your Majesty~!" Zhang Rang cried out in pain and knelt down before Liu Hong.

"Your Majesty, we serve your Majesty day and night, and the family records of the old ministers are detailed. How could your Majesty not know that although this Jun confuses right and wrong, but when disaster breaks out, Zhang Rang is willing to spend all his family wealth to support the army."

"Now your Majesty must use the power of thunder to defeat the thieves first. You must not listen to the so-called words that disasters will disappear on their own. Zhang Rang is willing to go to jail until the day when the thieves are eliminated, but it is up to your Majesty to deal with it." After shouting in pain, Zhang Rang

Speak firmly and speak loudly.

"I also invite you~!" As Zhang Rang finished speaking, Sun Zhang knelt down and worshiped.

Looking at Zhang Rang and Sun Zhang who were kneeling down, Liu Hong couldn't get rid of the anger in his eyes. He raised his hand and swept away the memorials and debris on the table to the floor.

Are you talking about nepotism, monopolizing financial resources, and plundering the people? Are you talking about Zhang letting them? This is obviously referring to Sang and Huai, and it is obviously talking about me.

The sons of your noble family deserve this great Han official position, but they only seek to make profits for their own family, block the wealth of the country, and earn the reputation of your noble family. Why can't I choose people who make money for the country?

Exclusive financial resources? Gather the wealth from all over the world and I will distribute it reasonably.

The implementation of taxation is to rob the people? I asked you to abide by the law, but now you say you are robbing the people? Let me ask, are these people my people? Should they abide by the laws of the Han Dynasty?

Everyone knows that Taiping Dao has bad intentions. A group of people are using things to make excuses. It's abominable, it's absolutely abhorrent! Liu Hong was so angry that he couldn't give in.

"Hmph, get up. In the past, you all told me that the disaster was okay, and that it was difficult to do anything with this horn. Now the rebels have come out. According to what Tang Zhou said, it will affect several states. Is there anything you can hide from me?

.”

After calming down the anger in his heart, Liu Hong did not panic, and asked Zhang Rang with suspicion in his eyes.

Liu Hong was greedy for money and lustful, but after being the emperor for so many years, he dared to engage in party affairs. A being who can integrate making money into all aspects of life will naturally not be a simple fool.

This guy just has a weird brain circuit, so it's okay to say that he understands things differently.

But he was born among the people, and the prince Liu Bian was left among the people to be raised by Taoist priests. Naturally, it was impossible for him not to be aware of the Taiping Dao that was causing uproar all over the world.

"Your Majesty, Feng Zhen, you have already explained Xu Feng's matter, how can I dare to act rashly?" Liu Hong asked, Zhang Rang stepped forward and lowered his voice.

"Although there are refugees in various places, those aristocratic families have deliberately chosen them, and the villagers are regarded as the foundation of their family. How can they destroy their roots?"

"All counties and counties have grain dispatches. Although there are some who don't take care of it carefully, the quantity is limited and it cannot be considered a big deal." Zhang Rang said softly, especially when he mentioned Feng Xu, Xu Feng's eyes flashed with a strange light.

Feng Xu and Xu Feng were both Liu Hong's constant servants. They accepted Taiping Dao bribes. How could they hide this from Zhang Rang and the others?

Liu Hong often served twelve people. Although Zhang Rang was nominally the leader, each had their own responsibilities and powers, and they could take over the power of others. There was a lot of competition and suspicion, so this kind of thing could not be hidden from Liu Hong.

The reason why the two of them are fine so far is that most of the bribes they collected were filial piety to Liu Hong. Seeing that he collected a lot of wealth, Liu Hong once even regarded Zhangjiao's Taiping Road as a special way to make money. He really had some brains.

special.

"Can't they be a big deal? Then where did these rebels come from? The aristocratic family often talks about enlightenment, and this is the people they educated for me?" Liu Hong frowned.

"Your Majesty cares about the world. How could the people not know that the short period of disaster is just a short period of time?" Zhang Rang showed just the right amount of admiration on his face, which also made Liu Hong's brows relax slightly.

"From what I can see, most of these rebels are descendants of barbarians. Although those barbarians have reproduced in the Han Dynasty for several generations, our court was lenient to them and allowed them to retain their clan system, but it caused today's troubles." Zhang Rang thought.

analyze.

"Huh? Those foreigners surrendered as prisoners? After living together for many years, most of them have adapted to the Han rules of farming, so what does it have to do with them?" Liu Hong asked.

"My Majesty, you are kind-hearted for the people, but you think everyone is a good person." Zhang Rang smiled sadly, and it was difficult to distinguish the specifics of the compliments, but Liu Hong's expression relaxed a lot again.

"Your Majesty, those barbarians are scattered all over the place, and most of them have already become our clans." Zhang Rang continued, and Liu Hong nodded in agreement.

"The majority of the remnants of the Central Plains are the Xiongnu. Even if those Xiongnu changed their surnames, they are no better than us Han people. Although they are good at talking about the ethnic group, there are many people in the tribe who do not care about ethics and are fond of plundering."

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the Guangwu incident? Although most of them have adapted to settled farming, their nature is hard to change, Your Majesty. They often occupy land, and the behavior of enclosure slaves is even more common." Following Zhang Rang's explanation, Liu

Displeasure flashed across Hong's face.

"Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with your Majesty. Our ancestral system treats them well, and they exploit mostly people within the clan, so local counties usually ignore them."

"Huh! Now that you have become a Han nationality, you are a Han citizen. From now on, you should order the local government to pay more attention to protecting you." Liu Hongzhong hummed.

"Haha, Your Majesty, everything he has known and learned since he was a child is of wolf nature. Not to mention protecting him, his family is arrogant, and the people do not like the Huns. How can they like those people who are from the Huns? Let alone speak out for them.

"Zhang Rang chuckled and shook his head.

"My father is saying that the rebellion in Taiping Road comes from these people who have been oppressed for a long time?" Liu Hong thought about it and asked Zhang Rang.

"Yi Chen seems to be inseparable, but the gathering of people will inevitably threaten the people of the state and county. Your Majesty needs to deal with this matter as soon as possible to avoid your Majesty getting a bad name again, and to avoid the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looking for despicable people like us again.

life."

"Your Majesty, my heart is really frightened and uneasy." As he spoke, Zhang let tears fall down his cheeks uncontrollably.

"Woo~~" As Zhang Rang shut up, Sun Zhang knelt down again, covering his face and crying bitterly.

"Father, don't be sad. There are some rebels. I will order people to destroy them." Seeing the two eunuchs crying sadly, Liu Hong comforted Zhang Rang.

"We deserve to die for distracting His Majesty." Zhang Rang was moved.

"Your Majesty has more important things to deal with now. He needs to stabilize Luoyang and not let anyone take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble. Feng Xu, Xu Feng has been in the palace for a long time. To prevent accidents, the guards need to be rectified." Zhang Rang wiped away the tears on his face.

, said solemnly to Liu Hong.

"What my father said is absolutely true." Liu Hong nodded.

"Your Majesty, it's time for Xu Feng to be granted the honorary title.

"As if unwilling to be left alone, Sun Zhang asked tentatively, but Zhang Rang turned his head and gave him a vicious cold look.

Sun Zhang wanted to get rid of Feng Xu and Xu Feng, the two Taiping Dao ‘internal agents’.

"Take good care of the two of them first. It might be useful later." Liu Hong thought for a moment, and when he made the decision, Zhang Rang's eyes flashed with a little relief and a little happiness.

Sun Zhang is greedy and unwise. These two people can vent the anger of all officials at the critical moment and bear the disaster for us. How can we deal with it like this? Zhang Rang was relieved. It seems that His Majesty still cares about us and will think about us.
