Chapter 181 Liu Xiu: I'm going to start a rebellion!
People from all timelines were speechless at Lin Ke's statement: Rebellion has nothing to do with us!
It's not like they only think of rebellion when they can't survive. But Wang Mang was actually put on the throne by them!
The blame lies with Wang Mang, who was too good at deceiving people!
Meanwhile, people living in chaotic times are more hoping that someone will come and end this damned life sooner!
……
"When Liu Yan stammered that it would be a waste not to use this era for rebellion, Liu Xiu very cautiously refused, distancing himself from his elder brother, after all, he still wanted to marry Yin Lihua!"
"Although Liu Xiu was disliked by his brother for being timid and cowardly, his own convincing temperament was still evident. For example, when he was selling grain in Xinye and Wancheng, he often encountered powerful families or people from the Jianghu."
"At that time, Liu Xiu had not yet risen to prominence and was far less famous than his elder brother Liu Yan, but the powerful clans and江湖人士 (jianghu figures) still respected this peddler very much, and all felt that this young man was destined for greatness."
"For example, the Li family, a powerful clan in Wancheng, was one of the first to follow Liu Xiu into his entrepreneurial team. They were a family with a rich history, and many of their descendants were merchants and high-ranking officials for generations. By the time of Wang Mang, Li Shou, a member of their family, was an official in Chang'an."
"This man's leader was Liu Xin, who had changed his name. Later, he followed Wang Mang and became his chief minister. He had some knowledge of prophecies and found a sentence in them: 'The Liu family will be restored, and the Li family will assist.'"
"And the Li family specializes in studying prophecies. Don't forget that the original prophecy clearly stated: 'Liu Xiu sends troops to capture the wicked...'"
"So when Li Shou's son, Li Tong, heard from his father that the Li family would be the assistants, he was overjoyed! Wasn't this referring to the Li family of Wancheng?"
An official from the Song Dynasty said: Gold always shines!
A farming expert from the Ming Dynasty: But these prophecies from the late Han Dynasty are too straightforward!
A bystander from the Han Dynasty: That's amazing!
……
"Although Li Tong had some connections, he was also quite capable, having held positions such as a general's aide and a county magistrate. However, because he often thought about that prophecy, he didn't want to work anymore and simply resigned and returned to his hometown."
"But they also wanted to gain merit by supporting the emperor, so they kept searching for the hero who would end the chaos."
"Until they encountered Liu Xiu, who was selling grain, they sensed from his domineering aura that he was a remarkable person, which could be considered a kind of early investment!"
"By October of 22 AD, Brother Liu Yan's rebellion was complete, and other rebel armies began to cause chaos, plunging the whole country into complete turmoil."
"Liu Xiu had no choice but to act. After all, they were brothers, and no matter what, he couldn't say that his elder brother had rebelled. As the younger brother, he could still absolve himself of any responsibility."
"Since the world is in chaos, let it be completely chaotic. If Liu Xiu can't be a good citizen, then let him be a warlord in this chaotic world!"
"However, once when he visited someone's home with his brother-in-law Deng Chen, someone mentioned that prophecy. But for some reason, when everyone jokingly said it was Liu Xin, Liu Xiu himself retorted: 'How do you know it wasn't me!?'"
"At the time, everyone thought he was joking and just teasing us. No one expected that this seemingly ordinary young man would make a name for himself in this chaotic world."
A scion of a prominent family in the Song Dynasty: Destiny is in your hands! Hahahaha
A young farming expert from the Ming Dynasty: I've made up my mind, let's get started!
A high-ranking official in the Tang Dynasty had a son who said: "At this point, he's already starting to want to compete!"
A member of the Song Dynasty royal family: But that makes sense! With so many people rebelling, why can't he be the ultimate winner?
