Chapter 111 My Eighth Brother is Too Fast!
Reading Settings
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. No matter how outrageous these three kingdoms may be, our Great Han is a land of propriety, and you are a wise emperor. Our Celestial Dynasty should treat these uncivilized barbarians with courtesy."
At this moment, one of them walked out from the court corridor.
Liu Laowu stared in disbelief and saw that it was an official from the Ministry of Rites.
"What a waste of all that education!"
Why didn't he treat us with courtesy when he bullied us?
"Now he comes to us so arrogantly and rudely, yelling and shouting at us in front of us. Does he have any manners?"
Liu Laowu was furious and said:
“You said it yourself, these people are uncivilized barbarians. The etiquette of our Han Dynasty is for dealing with guests, not for dealing with these uncivilized, jumping monkeys.”
After saying that, Liu Laowu immediately ordered his men to take action.
The three envoys couldn't understand Liu Laowu's Chinese at first and didn't know what he meant. It wasn't until the guards reached out to grab them that they understood Liu Laowu's intention.
They initially acted nonchalantly, but when the palace maids brought over steel needles and thick thread, the three of them panicked, their faces immediately turning terrified.
Not to mention the three envoys, even the civil and military officials in the court gasped when they saw such thick steel needles.
But since it was foreigners suffering, everyone was naturally happy to be idle and even gleefully watched the spectacle from the sidelines.
With several screams, the envoys from the three kingdoms had their mouths sewn shut.
Liu Laowu ultimately decided to cut off one of their ears and send it back to their respective kings as a lesson.
After all, they've lost both ears, so they can't hear you when you speak.
"Hmph, so you're asking us for compensation, huh?"
“We didn’t kill anyone. The one who killed your Japanese envoy and your Later Jin envoy was Liu Fu, the Prince of Zhongwu. His fiefdom is in Liaodong.”
"Guards, escort them all to Liaodong to find the Prince Zhongwu. The grievances have their source, and the debts have their debtors. Don't come looking for us again for the debts the Prince Zhongwu owes."
The officials below burst into laughter upon hearing this.
When the envoy from Japan and the Later Jin dynasty first entered the palace, he was dragged out and beheaded before he could even say a few words.
Liu Fu, this living ancestor, can be described as a living Yama in the eyes of the Later Jin Japanese. If they really fell into Liu Fu's hands, they would be in for a world of trouble.
really.
Upon learning that they were to be sent to Liaodong, they went to Liu Fu to collect their debt.
The envoys from the three kingdoms immediately shook their heads like rattles, but with their mouths sealed and half of their ears cut off, they were already writhing in pain, rolling on the ground. At this moment, they struggled to their feet and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy.
"What? Does this mean you don't want to go?"
"How can that be? Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. How can we not repay the debts our Han Dynasty owes? We will not only escort you there, but we will also send five hundred elite soldiers to escort you along the way. You have no choice but to go. Alright, court adjourned!"
"Your Majesty!"
Liu Laowu passed the three messengers to Liu Fu like a football, thus relieving himself of his worries. Moreover, he knew that with Liu Fu's abilities, dealing with these petty scoundrels would be a piece of cake.
Liaodong at this time.
Liu Fu ruthlessly annihilated the four major families, and Kongming soon arrived in Xiaozhou Prefecture to reunite with the Five Tiger Generals.
"Yun Chang, the four regions of Liaodong, which were originally guarded by the four great families, will now be guarded by Yide, Zilong, Mengqi, and Hansheng respectively. You will be the new governor and lead these four generals. The task of pacifying the people is entrusted to you. You must make every effort to restore the people's livelihood."
The decision to appoint Guan Yu as the governor was made by Liu Fu.
Among those who have left their mark on history, very few can be described as having "powerful influence throughout China".
Guan Yu was one of the most famous figures in China. He once defeated Cao Cao so badly that Cao Cao was considering moving the capital. Fortunately, Lü Meng stabbed him in the back, saving Cao Wei from danger.
Having governed Jingzhou for many years and served as a regional warlord under Liu Bei, Liu Fu appointed him to govern half of Liaodong, given his experience.
After doing all this, Liu Fu returned to Dongcheng in triumph.
Once the four major families were eliminated, along with the numerous smaller families connected to them, there were thousands of such families in total. Liu Fu immediately organized a team to cause trouble for these remaining smaller families.
At the same time, as these families fell one after another, a large amount of land was confiscated and returned to Liu Fu's hands.
At this time, Liu Fu began to allocate land to each household according to the number of people in the family.
Measuring the land and counting the population were also very busy tasks.
Liu Fu subsequently recruited dozens of historically renowned local officials, most of whom served as prefects, governors, or vice-prefects at different times. They were all highly regarded officials and left behind a legacy of virtue in their governance.
For example, Xu Yougong of the Tang Dynasty was an upright and honest official.
Zhang Ji of the Three Kingdoms period was actually the legendary physician Zhang Zhongjing. He served as a prefect during the Three Kingdoms period, and treating patients was just a side job. He also did a lot of good deeds during his tenure.
Subsequently, Liu Fu recruited Hua Tuo, Bian Que, Sun Simiao, and others to stay in Liaodong to improve people's livelihoods and treat diseases...
Because many aristocratic families went bankrupt, the number of petitions from ordinary people to the government offices was overwhelming, to the point that Liu Fu had to transfer half of his talents to handle cases. Even Zhuge Liang's old friend Pang Tong was summoned to handle major cases...
Meanwhile, in the fiefdom of his elder brother Liu Shan.
After receiving the letter from Liu Fu, Liu Shan already knew what his eighth brother was thinking. He immediately followed Liu Fu's advice and soon heard about the rebellion of the four major families in Liaodong.
The day before, I heard that the four major families had rebelled, and the next day I heard that the rebellion had been quelled.
Liu Shan was completely baffled.
"My eighth brother is too fast!"
"Is he even human? How could he be so fast???"
Following Liu Fu's experience, Liu Shan then began to oppose powerful clans.
He didn't have Liu Fu's strength, but when Liu Fu parted ways with his eldest and second brothers, he gave each of them a treasure-hunting rat to save their lives.
Liu Shan wasn't stupid; he used the treasure-hunting rat to launch sneak attacks, specifically targeting important members of powerful families.
Following the experience of Liu Fu and his eldest brother, Liu Dai, the second brother, also began to conduct experiments. Although he had both wins and losses against the opposing powerful families, the power of the treasure-hunting rat was like a deadly ghost in the night, making many powerful families tremble with fear every night, afraid that they would never wake up again after falling asleep.
Soon, Liu Fu ate meat while his two older brothers drank soup. In addition, news of Liu Fu's swift suppression of the rebellion of the four major families spread, immediately causing a great shock to all the powerful families of the Later Han Dynasty.
What's even more terrifying is that the news that Liu Fu possessed a 40-meter-tall behemoth soon spread!
At this moment, those powerful and wealthy families were completely dumbfounded...
