~7 min read 1,221 words

Soon, he started drawing people again!

In the blink of an eye, another S-level character appeared!

And the appearance of this person made Ying Su's eyes hot to the extreme!

At that moment, even the bloodline of his previous life as a commoner was about to awaken!

It can be said that in the history of China, any commoner who could receive fair treatment should thank this person!

Without this person, commoners wouldn't know how long they would be oppressed by noble families!

Without this person, all the people might have ended up with the caste system like the Indians!

Without him, the common people at the bottom of China would never have had hope of getting ahead!

Likewise, because of his appearance, there were no more nobles in China from then on!

And because of his appearance, all people of high status were forced to look at commoners with respect!

It was also because of his appearance that the so-called imperial examination system was finally somewhat fair!

Commoners could finally become officials!

Not only could they become officials!

But they could also sing on the opposite stage to those noble families in the imperial court!

He is...

When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth month,

After my flowers bloom, all other flowers will be killed.

The soaring fragrance permeates Chang'an,

The whole city is covered in golden armor.

Song Jiang, the leader of the Liangshan rebellion, was even more shameless to compare himself with this person!

If I fulfill my lofty aspirations one day, I dare to laugh at Huang Chao for not being a man!

Hehe... is he worthy?

Does he even dare to compare himself with others?

Yes!

He is Huang Chao!

A person in history who truly defeated the nobles as a commoner!

A fierce man who truly achieved the elimination of noble influence!

053, Annihilate the Xiongnu, Li Li Yuanba, set out!

In the late Tang Dynasty, the power of the clans was strong; it could be said that the clans were iron, and the royal family was flowing water!

Even if the dynasty changed, the major clans could stand for hundreds of years without declining!

In the imperial court, nearly eighty percent of the official positions, large and small, were monopolized by the children of the clans!

Even if the imperial examination system was implemented, it could not change the situation in the imperial court at all.

Even if commoners entered the imperial court, they would be isolated by the power of the clans!

If they didn't defect to the clans, they wouldn't get any chance of promotion!

At the same time, the major clans would also recommend their juniors to enter the court as officials, firmly grasping the imperial court!

And just at this time, Huang Chao appeared!

Originally, Huang Chao was also an honest man who wanted to pass the imperial examination!

But unfortunately, the imperial examination at that time was also controlled by the clans.

Huang Chao took the exam many times but never passed!

Finally, he passed once, but the result was that because the chief examiner said he was too ugly to be an official, he threw his test paper on the ground.

In a fit of rage, he directly wrote that poem that has been passed down through the ages!

Afterwards, without even thinking, he started an uprising directly!

And it was only after the uprising that he discovered that breaking into Chang'an was actually much easier than passing the exam into Chang'an!

After breaking into Chang'an, he directly launched a massacre against the major clans!

And what's funny is that at that time, someone also wrote the "Theory of Clans" to rank the major clans!

Almost all clans took pride in being able to be on the "Theory of Clans."

As a result, when Huang Chao entered Chang'an, he started killing house by house according to the "Theory of Clans"!

A "Theory of Clans" directly became the King of Hell's Book of Life and Death!

And under Huang Chao's massacre, these clans were almost all wiped out.

The Cui family of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs was killed to the point of being outside the top dozens of the Hundred Family Surnames, and many clans were killed to the point of having their surnames extinct!

From then on, the clans that had been harmful for hundreds of years were directly eradicated!

It was also from here that commoners could finally be treated as human beings by the clans and nobles.

It was precisely because of this that commoners could finally hold their heads high in front of the clans!

So... is this person suitable for carrying out taxation based on land?

In Ying Su's view, he is too suitable!

Even, it has already exceeded expectations!

Even... Ying Su felt that the system ranking him as an S-level character was a bit of a grievance to him!

The things he did could almost be deified!

Yes, since Xia Qi usurped the throne, how many years have the commoners of China been oppressed by these nobles and clans?

But he, by himself, forcibly wiped them all out!

Any commoner should treat him as a god!

If it weren't for him, commoners really wouldn't know how long they would be oppressed!

Then why could this person only be an S?

Oh! Understood!

Military ability is a bit poor, and the means of employing people are also a bit poor.

Moreover, his own will to rebel was not firm enough!

Clearly he had already rebelled, but what he thought about in his heart was not how to become emperor himself, but how to change the status quo of the imperial court!

But, how could that corrupt Tang Dynasty still be supported!

The decline of the dynasty had already become a foregone conclusion!

Thus, it caused the outcome of his failed rebellion!

But whether his rebellion succeeded or failed!

The things he did could be recorded in history!

He was definitely a fierce man of a generation!

But... this person's heart for killing was so heavy, isn't he afraid of causing some chaos?

Ying Su had thought so at first.

But, that was just a thought!

The noble taxation Zhang Liang talked about, weakening the influence of the nobles, to put it bluntly, was still a revolution.

And since it is a revolution, how can there be no deaths?

Shang Yang reforms, how many people died in the Qin State?

Guan Zhong reforms, how many people died in the Qi State?

Zhang Zhang Juzheng carried out the Single Whip Law, how many people were killed?

Even the universally respected Zhou Zhou Gongdan was extremely ruthless when killing people!

Revolution cannot be without deaths!

Before, Ying Su thought Zhang Liang was the most suitable!

However, after Huang Chao appeared, Ying Su felt that Zhang Liang was not very suitable!

Besides the reasons he mentioned, another reason was that he was not ruthless enough!

In terms of strategy, no one could compare to him!

But compared to the ruthlessness in actual operation, he was far behind!

Li Si was also not good; he was a noble himself; if he were to do it, he would inevitably let things slide, and the outcome of the revolution would inevitably be a half-cooked meal!
