Chapter 252: Liu Bei's Ascension to the Throne
Cao Cao's support was definitely a huge help to Liu Bei's ascension to the throne.
Although, he only supported him verbally and did not give specific support methods like Yang Biao.
But that's enough.
After all, it is still the feudal era now, and verbal support is almost fully supported by these people.
Of course, smart people like Cao Cao will definitely not let go of military power and their own power.
This kind of thing needs to be taken down a little bit, and Liu Bei Group must not be in a hurry.
Once you are anxious, it is easy to completely intensify the contradictions.
"But that's enough..."
Lin Chen took a deep breath, then quickly came to Liu Bei with his people, and after briefly explaining the situation, under the latter's strange gaze, he frowned and said, "The current resistance is only the people in the city."
The people in Luoyang can be said to be all victims of disaster.
It is actually not difficult to get their support.
Especially with the support of Yang Biao and others, it is easier to do this.
"Ziyuan has done a good job."
Liu Bei took several deep breaths, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "If it weren't for Ziyuan, Bei... wouldn't even dare to think about it."
Even if Liu Xie dies, the first heir is definitely not Liu Bei.
But due to the actions of Yuan Shu, Song Yang and others, Liu Bei got such a little opportunity.
Anyone who does not want to see the Han Dynasty continue to turmoil will probably support Liu Bei.
After all, he is one of the few powerful factions among the Han clans today.
But even so, his chances are only one.
If Yang Biao did not support him, Cao Cao turned around and left in anger. Even if Liu Bei ascended the throne, the situation he had to face would be extremely corrupt.
"In fact, even without their support, the lord can sit on it."
Lin Chen looked at Liu Bei's unconfident performance and smiled, "Because, the person who needs to fight for the most is not Yang Biao, Cao Cao, etc., but millions of disaster victims."
"As long as these people are willing to support them, the lord will be able to support them with a suitable political strategy in less than a year."
"At that time, who else in the world will not support the lord?"
Most of the victims he mentioned were from Guanzhong, Heluo and Bingzhou.
Due to the previous series of events and the climate was not so powerful, countless people were in trouble.
They just want to eat enough.
Therefore, if Liu Bei really got the support of these people, even if the people in the world didn't support him, as long as he waited for a year or two, no one would be able to resist.
"As soon as Ziyuan said, I remembered it."
Liu Bei frowned and said, "There are indeed everywhere now. I don't know if there is a solution to the source of the Ziyuan?"
"have!"
Lin Chen nodded confidently and said, "As long as the lord ascends the throne and issues an edict, these victims will be able to settle down soon."
“How to do it?”
Liu Bei's breathing became violent.
You know, those are millions of victims.
Not to mention such troubled times, even in peacetime, millions of victims are enough to cause huge chaos.
Liu Bei has always been very clear about this, but he really doesn't want to add more pressure to Lin Chen.
That is, Lin Chen mentioned it himself now, otherwise he would only mention it slowly later.
“It’s very simple.”
Lin Chen stretched out three fingers and explained: "First, I issued an edict to clear the land once every ten years; second, I issued an edict to those who sell themselves due to hunger will be exempted from being common people; third, I gradually abolish the slave system."
"That's all?" Liu Bei looked confused.
"That's all!"
Lin Chen nodded confidently and said, "Because, under the combination of these three political strategies, the lord can deprive some wealthy families of land without completely offending them, so naturally there will be no problems with Wang Mang."
This is what he thought of after the inspiration appeared.
In this era, it is definitely groundbreaking.
Therefore, he is so confident.
Liu Bei frowned and thought for a long time, but still didn't expect any benefits of these three combinations, and finally said helplessly.
"I still don't understand a little, so I'll explain in detail."
"After clearing the land of the lord, the lord can use the name of heaven and earth to say that cultivated land is the gift of heaven and earth to the people. Any land that does not cultivated will violate the will of heaven and earth."
"At the same time, the edict issued by Emperor Gaozu in the fifth year: those who sell themselves because of hunger will be exempted from being common people, and there will inevitably be people who respond at this time."
"Finally, in conjunction with the gradual abolition of slavery system..."
"Chen, how much land can those rich families cultivate?"
It has to be said that Emperor Gaozu of Han was indeed the most powerful emperor in the feudal era, as the great man said.
This can be seen from his actions in the fifth year after he ascended the throne.
"The people who sell themselves because of hunger will be exempted from being common people."
With this alone, he gradually depressed countless original nobles of the six countries.
Now, the three items proposed by Lin Chen are just supplemented based on Liu Bang.
"Ziyuan means that in the name of heaven and earth, the land of the rich is deprived and distributed to the people...?"
After Liu Bei figured it out, he took a deep breath and said, "Is this really feasible?"
"Is it feasible? Chen doesn't know, because the lord's control over the grassroots level is still much worse now."
Lin Chen sighed and said, "But if this matter can be really done, the people will definitely agree with it."
After this conversation, news came out in Luoyang City...
"Mr. Xuande intends to distribute land to our victims?"
"No, no, no, this will only happen after clearing the land of the mill."
"What? Xuande Gong also intends to let us sell ourselves as slaves and gain freedom?"
"Wrong, wrong, this was proposed by Emperor Gao. Duke Xuande is a descendant of Emperor Gao, so he will naturally support it."
"What... Duke Xuande also said that we would go home and would never be bullied by aliens again?"
"Wrong, Duke Xuande means that he has no rights now. If he has the power one day, this matter can be done."
Under the impact of such news, the people of Luoyang City also had a cry in their hearts.
"Why is Duke Xuande not the emperor?"
Most of the people are simple people.
Especially some people who sell themselves as slaves have an extremely longing for their freedom to restore their freedom... It was because of natural disasters and man-made disasters before, but now Liu Bei wants to distribute land, so they can live a good life.
So, amid the calls of the crowd, Yang Biao seemed to hear the news, and then led all officials to persuade him to come forward.
"What kind of virtue can be like? How can you do this? How can you do this!" Liu Bei naturally chose to refuse.
The rule of three verdicts and three entrusting can definitely not be broken... At least, neither Liu Bei nor Lin Chen want to be broken.
Yang Biao had no choice but to take the officials around the city for a short time, and then returned to the mansion.
The next day, Yang Biao came to the door again, and thousands of people followed him at the same time.
Liu Bei resigned again.
Yang Biao smiled bitterly and then took everyone away, but the thousands of people did not leave.
"Duke Xuande, you should be the emperor!"
"Yes, we can only have a good life if you become the emperor."
The people were shouting.
Liu Bei had to close the door and avoid seeing guests.
Another day, Yang Biao brought all the officials here again, and the number of people following this time had reached tens of thousands.
"Please Duke Xuande ascend the throne!"
As soon as Yang Biao opened his mouth, the sound of tsunami roared into Liu Bei's mansion.
This time, Liu Bei did not refuse.
He walked out of the mansion, and under the guidance of Yang Biao, all the officials and tens of thousands of people followed him, he came to Yang'an Palace, officially ascended the throne, inherited the second ancestor of Wu (successor Liu Bang and Liu Xiu), and at the suggestion of Yang Biao and others, he changed the reign to Zhangwu.
