Chapter 429

"Hehe, that's for sure; you must know that this is a weapon above Yellow Grade Superior, naturally much better than the ordinary weapons we used before."

After hearing Lü Bu's words, Liu Bian also said proudly.

Yellow Grade Superior weapons, according to his guess, were estimated to be about the same as the Heaven Sword he knew in his previous life.

As for Mystic Grade weapons, they must have transcended the category of ordinary divine weapons.

"Now, I still have things to do in the palace, so I'll go back first."

Seeing that the matter here was finished, Liu Bian also intended to leave; there were many things in the palace waiting for him to handle.

Immediately, he said to everyone.

"We respectfully send off Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately cupped their hands and shouted loudly to Liu Bian.

After leaving the military camp, Liu Bian took Dian Wei and others toward the palace.

After arriving at the Imperial Study and sitting down, Dian Wei stood guard outside, while Xu Chu went to the Yulin Army; he still had to be responsible for the defense of Luoyang City.

"Li Liangcheng!"

After entering the Imperial Study and sitting down, Liu Bian shouted to Li Liangcheng, who was serving beside him.

"Your Majesty!"

"Go and call the Six Ministers and Inner Cabinet ministers; I have something to find them for."

Liu Bian looked at Li Liangcheng, who was respectful in front of him, and said majestically.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Li Liangcheng immediately bowed and responded, then exited the Imperial Study.

Half an hour later, the Six Ministers and Inner Cabinet ministers, ten people in total, came to Liu Bian's Imperial Study.

"We pay respects to Your Majesty!"

Seeing Liu Bian, everyone bowed and cupped their hands to salute.

"My dear ministers, rise!"

Liu Bian said to everyone majestically.

"Thank Your Majesty!"

After everyone thanked and stood up, Liu Bian pointed to the seats below and said with a smile:

"My dear ministers, let's sit down and talk."

"Thank Your Majesty!"

After everyone thanked, they sat down respectfully.

After everyone was seated, Liu Bian asked Xi Zhicai gently:

"Zhicai, how is the matter of distributing land and reducing taxes going?"

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai immediately cupped his hands and replied respectfully to Liu Bian:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, after so many days of effort, ninety percent of the people in the entire Sili region have already been allocated land."

"As for the remaining people, I am confident that within ten days, the people of the entire Sili region will be able to be allocated farmland."

"As for the tax reduction matter you mentioned, Your Majesty, except for the three provinces we control, the attitudes of other provinces and commanderies are different."

"Only Xuzhou, Youzhou, Yuzhou, and Jizhou, these four provinces, responded to Your Majesty's decree."

"Qingzhou is currently controlled by Yellow Turban remnants and does not follow the court's decree, which is reasonable, while the remaining five provinces, such as Yanzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou, and Jiaozhou, have no movement."

After everyone heard Xi Zhicai's previous words, they were all smiling, but as Xi Zhicai continued to speak, everyone's faces became ugly.

The hearts of these provinces that did not accept Liu Bian's decree were already clear.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the current situation is very clear; it is highly probable that these five provinces will rebel!"

At this time, Xun Yu, after hearing Xi Zhicai's words, said with a solemn face.

Hearing this, everyone also nodded in agreement.

At this time, Liu Bian also nodded slightly, and then said to the Shadow Guard Commander, Tai'a, below:

"Tai'a, tell me and the ministers about the movements of the major marquises."

Hearing this, Tai'a immediately stood out, first cupped his hands respectfully to Liu Bian and everyone, and then said respectfully:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, my lords!"

"According to the latest intelligence sent by the Dark Guards, ever since the major marquises received the news of Your Majesty's return to the capital to report on duties and attend Your Majesty's wedding."

"Jiaozhou Inspector Shi Xie, Yangzhou Inspector Liu Yao, Jingzhou Inspector Liu Biao, Yizhou Inspector Liu Zhang, and Yanzhou Inspector Liu Dai, these five people, have no signs of moving."

"Moreover, Yanzhou Inspector Liu Dai even sent his strategist Wang Kai to visit Youzhou, wanting to unite with Youzhou Inspector Liu Yu to resist the court."

"However, Liu Yu has always been loyal to our Great Han and did not agree to Liu Dai's request, and even scolded Wang Kai severely before driving him out of Youzhou."

"Now, Wang Kai has returned to Yanzhou, and Liu Dai is currently contacting several major marquises in the south, intending to unite to resist the court."

"As for the marquises of other provinces and commanderies, we won't talk about the ones we control; the lords have already arranged things, and they are currently on their way back to the capital."

"Others such as Yuzhou Inspector Kong Zhou, Youzhou Inspector Liu Yu, Xuzhou Inspector Tao Qian, Jizhou Inspector Han Fu, and others have also set off and are rushing toward Luoyang."

Tai'a reported the movements of the major marquises respectfully to Liu Bian and everyone, then retreated to the side to wait.

"It seems that our Great Han still has loyal ministers!"

At this time, Wang Yun, who heard Tai'a's report, couldn't help but sigh.

And Yang Biao and Lu Zhi, the two old ministers of the Han family who heard his words, also nodded with complex expressions.

They also didn't expect that among these marquises who resisted the decree, more than half were members of the Liu family.

It seems that the Han family, after so many years of turmoil, had also bred the ambitions of these people.

At this time, everyone looked at Liu Bian.

However, Liu Bian, who already knew this result, had a plain face and couldn't see a trace of displeasure.

"Have the Dark Guards keep a close watch on these five people and the movements of the aristocratic families in these five provinces."

After Liu Bian heard Tai'a's words, he just exhorted him plainly.

"Hehe, my dear ministers, with the loyalty of Liu Yu, Tao Qian, and the other four, at that time, seven of the thirteen provinces of the Great Han will be in my hands."

"Liu Biao and the other five are just making a futile resistance; with your help and the help of our Great Han's hundreds of thousands of soldiers, they will only slightly block the speed of my unification of the world."

Seeing everyone, Liu Bian said domineeringly.

Not putting these five resisting marquises in his eyes at all.

"Your Majesty is wise; we are willing to die for Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, everyone was also infected by Liu Bian's domineering spirit, all looking at Liu Bian with reverence and shouting loudly.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that the grain and fodder in Liu Bian's hands were not enough to support the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops, with the current strength of the Great Han army, it would be enough to sweep the world.

Currently, just the one hundred thousand Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry originally formed by Zhang Liao, now the lowest cultivation has reached the strength of a third-rate martial general.

And Lü Bu's fifty thousand Xiyuan Eight Captains, etc., now all have the strength of third-rate martial generals, and those with stronger talent have already reached the strength above third-rate martial generals.

With such a powerful army, who in this Great Han world can block it?

Now, Liu Bian was just waiting for the newly formed six major legions to take shape; at that time, it would be the moment for him to unify the world.
