Chapter 106 Luoyang Wind Direction Generally speaking, the Southern Huns had plundered villages before, and the court just turned a blind eye. If they wanted to launch a crusade, they had to report it to the court first. But this was different. The emperor gave him the right to do things expediently, and directly killed them first and then reported them. To give people time, half of the reason for the defeat of the Southern Huns was due to lack of preparation.
"Ugh."
Yuan Wei could only sigh in his heart, "Now there is no one in Bingzhou who can hinder this son's development. Even the local nobles will probably avoid his edge."
If Liu Han's defeat of Xianbei last time was a form of military deterrence, then this time he slaughtered the southern Xiongnu, which felt like killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.
Kill the chicken of the Southern Xiongnu to honor the nobles of Luoyang.
I, Liu Han, hold up a bright knife in Bingzhou and tell you that not only do I dare to kill people, I dare to kill many people.
Liu Han's victory over Xianbei last time made the nobles fear the imperial power and the clan's military power. But this time he slaughtered the Southern Xiongnu, and the nobles felt another fear in their hearts.
This person doesn't like to reason with people, but likes to use knives on others.
However, as Liu Han grows bigger in Bingzhou, more people will pay attention to him, so if he is not careful, he will be criticized.
Along with the good news, there was also a handwritten letter from Liu Han, "Brother Emperor, I seem to have gotten into trouble. Before the war, I ordered people to dig a deep hole, but then I encountered five thousand Xiongnu nobles who supported the Qiang Qu and defected. , and it happened that they fell in and broke their leg when they were escaping, but I issued a military order to let the army fill the hole, which resulted in a wonderful misunderstanding."
Liu Hong looked at Liu Han's handwriting and really didn't know whether to laugh or be angry. He found such a lame excuse to kill five thousand Southern Huns who supported Qiangqu.
If this matter reaches the ears of the nobles, the reputation of the emperor's brother will be ruined!
Liu Hong thought to himself: "Oh! Even you are playing tricks on me, because I am the emperor?"
Of course I know the virtues of my younger brother, and he will definitely not do such stupid things like killing people to vent his anger for no reason.
Pollution!
Liu Hong had not thought about some issues before, but now he has started to think about them.
To be honest, when I first sent the emperor's brother there, I never thought he could achieve such a great achievement.
But now, Liu Hong, who is in the court, covets the military power in his younger brother's hands.
One hundred thousand troops!
Moreover, it is an army with such a powerful fighting capacity. From the emperor's point of view, if courtiers continue to make sacrifices, will he not become suspicious?
I can't tell.
Liu Hong was not sure that he would always stand by his brother's side, because he was the emperor and a loner, and he had no so-called family ties.
If it is transferred to defend the center, then But the emperor's younger brother is the commander-in-chief of the army. Can the army still have such combat effectiveness without a commander-in-chief? Now, the emperor's younger brother took the initiative to hand over the handle to himself so that he could retaliate at any time in the future. This was also a disguised way of telling himself that no matter what happened in the future, he would always be on his side.
"Since you trust the emperor brother so much, the emperor brother will live up to his responsibility."# In Luoyang, along with the news of the great victory of Bingzhou, there was also a story about Liu Han, the governor of Bingzhou, killing five thousand Huns in the pit.
For a time, the Han prince who was not in Luoyang became the center of the whirlpool again.
Among them, there were inevitably Bingzhou nobles who established connections in Luoyang and secretly fueled the flames. The main reason was that this person was a bit scary. In less than two years after coming to Bingzhou, he had 20 alien lives under his control.
This name spread not only among Xianbei, but also among Qiang and Wuhuan people, and he had a resounding nickname - "Butcher Liu".
Different from He Jin's title of "butcher", He Jin was called a butcher because the nobles looked down upon his birth. He Jin was called a butcher because he killed 20 people. The foreigners were frightened when they heard this. The change in color is fear.
This fear also spread to the hearts of the Bingzhou gentry. There was no other reason. This man was not friendly to the Bingzhou gentry. The officials he hired were all people who had been trained in Hejian or retired from the army. In the Bingzhou officialdom, these gentry were indistinguishable. To a piece of cake.
For this reason, the Bingzhou gentry often used stumbling blocks. However, last year, as the Guo family of Yangqu accepted punishment and the Wang family of Jinyang gave in, other gentry no longer dared to openly oppose Liu Han, but they still maintained their relationship with Liu Han. Indifferent attitude.
However, now the only army in Bingzhou that can compete with Liu Han internally has been uprooted. The nobles in various counties and counties feel the threat of death, so they unite and open up relationships, hoping that the big shots in Luoyang court can deal with this The prince of the Han Dynasty had some constraints.
But The most unfortunate thing happened. After the He family was deposed, Liu Han made a private agreement with the Luoyang nobles. He would not participate in the He family's affairs, and the Luoyang nobles were not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Bingzhou.
Therefore, even if Liu Han killed the foreigners with a knife, the Luoyang nobles could only hold their noses and admit it. Besides, he had killed prisoners last year. Although Liu Han killed the Southern Huns this time, although it was unexpected, it was also Within reason, it was something he could do.
The nobles are all selfish. Most of the time, each person takes care of their own affairs. Unless the interests of the nobles as a whole are being usurped by others, it will be difficult to reach a consensus.
Besides, the gentry from other states don’t want to mess with this Han clan member who has a lot of troops. He might really come looking for you with a knife.
Therefore, the Bingzhou gentry had to change direction again and shift public opinion from the court to the people.
Luoyang Cai Mansion.
Cai Yong listened to the rumors outside and did not stand by as coldly as last time. Instead, he took a step ahead of Lu Zhi and stood up to speak out for Liu Han, "Repaying evil with kindness, how to repay kindness? My Confucianism emphasizes repaying hatred with directness and repaying kindness with kindness." , this was caused by the massacre of Han people by foreign tribes, so the King of Hejian did a good job. The Southern Xiongnu killed more than thousands of our Han people in the past few years, so what if they trapped 5000 people?"
This made Lu Zhi very surprised. Did Cai Yong take the wrong medicine today? But he can think about it, which means he is not confused.
Subsequently, the great scholar Ma Rixi and the great scholar Yang Biao also spoke out. The fault of this matter was not entirely the fault of King Hejian, although King Hejian's move was a bit extreme, and each of them typically hit fifty big they didn't want to offend Liu Han or the nobles, so they could only say some innocuous words.
Only the gentry headed by the Runan Yuan clan supported the Bingzhou gentry. The Runan Yuan clan, the Chenjun Yuan clan, the Chenjun Xie clan, the Sheyang Zang clan (Guangling County), and the Langya Wang clan all jumped out to speak out.
The reason why Liu Han had enmity with the Zang family in Sheyang was very simple. The original governor of Taiyuan County was Zang Min (mín). He was appointed as the governor of Qingzhou and the governor of Dongjun.) After Liu Han was promoted to the governor of Bingzhou, he kicked him out, and the governor of Taiyuan was concurrently held by Biejia Jushu.
But this time is different from the past. In addition to the great Confucian scholars, many poor scholars stood up to speak out for Liu Han, because they found that the promotion resources that were originally controlled by the nobles were torn apart by the King of Hejian. The poor scholars Han Chuang studied hard for ten years and gained hope.
