Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 530 Comprehensive cleaning
The defeat of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the death of Tuoba Tao, the Hebei family that was most shocked was the previous collusion.

They were instigated by Cui Wei before and wanted to join forces in Hebei, but they were immediately suppressed by Liu Yilong and imprisoned one by one.

Although they were imprisoned, after Liu Yizhen came to Hebei, he didn't care about their bad things. Such a cold treatment also made them feel at ease, but when the news of Tuoba Tao's defeat and death came, they immediately Know it's bad.

In the spirit of self-help, everyone rushed to the gate of the Bohai Gao family, hoping that the Bohai Gao family could come out to intercede with Liu Yizhen on behalf of the Hebei family.

The Bohai Gao clan acted as if he was superior and none of my business.

Before, everyone was jealous of Gao Yun's status in the Liu Song Dynasty, and tried their best to exclude the Bohai Gao family. Now that the limelight is not right, they come to let him be the Bohai Gao family as a shield. Really think that the Bohai Gao family is a kind of resentment?

The current head of the Gao family in Bohai is called Gao Ji, and he is a cousin of Gao Yun's father, Gao Tao.

But the aristocratic family knows everything about it.

They are all in Hebei. Whose family has not been in touch with each other a few times?
Soon someone from his own family came to Gao Ji and brought the words of the Hebei family to Gao Ji——

"We all know that Mrs. Gao is able to sit firmly on Diaotai because there is a senior official sitting in the middle school, who is the right arm of the emperor."

"But let me ask, if we are all taken down by the emperor, wouldn't the Gao clan become the dominant family in Hebei?"

"Hebei has been rich since ancient times, and it has been separated from the Central Plains for a hundred years. If the Gao family has it alone, how can the emperor rest assured?"

"I hope Duke Gao will consider it carefully. If Duke Gao is willing to intercede with the emperor for us, Hebei will use the Gao family as the leader in the future, so that his reputation will not be weak. King, thank you."

Gao Ji was naturally cursing when he first saw it, and he dealt with several clansmen who had adultery with outsiders in a row, but in the end Gao Ji also fell into reflection.

Tell the truth.

If the Son of Heaven really killed other families in Hebei, how could the Gao family live alone?

After much deliberation, Gao Ji still made a judgment—the Hebei family cannot fail!
The truth of dead lips and cold teeth has been said for thousands of years, Gao Ji will not fail to understand!
Immediately, he sent a letter to Gao Yun in Chang'an, and he came to Yecheng to meet the emperor with a feeling of anxiety.

When meeting Liu Yizhen for the first time, Liu Yizhen was still amiable, and praised: "Gao Yun is my right-hand man, thanks to Gao's cultivation."

This gentle attitude caused Gao Ji to make a wrong judgment, that is-the emperor still needs a family from Hebei!

But when he revealed his true intentions, Liu Yizhen, who was originally kind and kind, suddenly became unkind, and just asked Gao Ji to stay in Yecheng first.

During this period, Gao Ji also received a reply letter from Gao Yun. There were only two words in the letter——

"Don't go!"

Others don't know Liu Yizhen's attitude towards the aristocratic family, but Gao Yun, who is the minister of Liu Yizhen's hidden residence, can't understand?
The pen written in two characters is a dragon and a snake, fully showing Gao Yun's urgent mood, but all of this came a little late.

On the second day after Gao Ji left, Liu Yizhen issued an imperial edict in Yecheng——

"Han and Hu live together in Hebei today, and people's hearts are fluctuating. We should thoroughly check the household registration, and change the Xianbei, Xiongnu, Qiang and other tribes to Han surnames to reassure them."

This imperial decree is apparently intended to appease the Hu people in Hebei and incorporate them into the Han family system with a gentle "surname change" system. In fact, the key lies in the four words "thorough investigation of household registration".

Why is the family powerful?
Because they have the resources.

What are the resources?
land, population.

Land is the largest means of production in farming civilization, and population is closely related to land.

Liu Yizhen's decree, on the surface, is to settle down those Hu people who have already settled down in Hebei, but in fact it is sharpening their knives against the aristocratic family.

Naturally, the "insidious" part of this edict cannot be hidden from the elite family.

But to see clearly is to see clearly.

Who dares to object?
Liu Yi is really not like the last time he came to Hebei.

At that time, although Liu Yizhen also had a large army in his hands, on the one hand, there was heavy military pressure from the north and the west, and the regime in the south was unstable, so he couldn't really let go of the Hebei family.

But now it's different.

Hu Xia was dead, and the Northern Wei Dynasty insisted on holding on in Pingcheng. The army under Liu Yizhen's command could "do anything wrong."

Song Jun who wants to fight against the invincible opponents all over the world with Wubao... even the Hebei family knows that it is not reliable!
The combat effectiveness of the family's private soldiers has been tested by Liu Yilong. Not to mention the five scumbags, they are at most ten ruthless.

So the road to armed confrontation was directly blocked by Liu Yizhen's army!
As for the political resource that the family relies on the most...

In the Liu Song Dynasty, the Hebei family had a political resource with a hammer?
The only one, Gao Yun, was "abducted" by Liu Yizhen when he was young, and his heart is not at all with the Hebei family.

As for the others, is it possible to bribe Liu Yizhen or Liu Yizhen's close ministers?
Not to mention, there is such a thing!

Wang Maide, Du Ji, Liu Yilong, and even Wang Zhen'e and Zhu Lingshi have all recently received money from the Hebei family.

But they quickly handed over the property to Liu Yizhen intact.

They are not short of money, and the future is bright, even if they are deceived by lard, they will not make mistakes at this time.

Moreover,
Do you really think Jin Yiwei is idle and eating?

After a few sets of actions, the Hebei family gradually fell into despair in the face of Liu Song Chaotang, who was like a copper wall and an iron arm.

"Oh, my Hebei family is suffering from Cui Hao!"

All the aristocratic families in Hebei thought that Liu Yizhen was dissatisfied with Cui Hao's serving the Northern Wei Dynasty, so Liu Yizhen made such a cruel move.

In the helpless and painful mood, they finally shrugged.

Books of pornography and pieces of land were stripped clean under the auspices of Wang Maide and Liu Yilong.

Numerous hidden household registrations and hidden properties have been dug out and flooded into the accounts of the government.

In Hebei and Weijun alone, there are 200 million young adults who are not registered, and 400 million should be fertile land in "wasteland".

During the period, Liu Yilong also thoroughly checked the files of various places in Hebei over the years under the instruction of Liu Yizhen, and he was merciless when there were unjust, false or wrongly decided cases. No matter how noble the other party was, he would directly bring the army to arrest people. Cut off to show the world.

In just one month, thousands of Hebei family members were purged, which can be called the largest massacre since Liu Yizhen came to power.

At the same time, the armies in the Northeast and Northwest are also advancing steadily.

To the northeast, Liu Yizhen sent Zhu Chaoshi to cooperate with the Xiehui tribe on the sea to attack Youzhou, Liaodong and other places, and the progress was very smooth.

On the contrary, they thought that Pingcheng in the northwest, which should have been easy to win, had a hard nut to crack.
