Your subject believes that as long as we delay for a few more days, once the imperial army has finished gathering, we will certainly be able to wipe out the Huang Jin rebel soldiers in one fell swoop.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grand General He Jin stepped forward and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was originally just a butcher, but his younger sister was now Empress He, the wife of Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, as the older brother, he had risen along with her status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been promoted all the way until he sat in the position of Grand General.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he held a high position, the officials from aristocratic families in the imperial court looked down on He Jin entirely and disdained to associate with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their daily lives, they even opposed him at every turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This included eunuchs like Zhang Rang, who had always been at odds with He Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am truly sorry; I have a bit of a cold today and my head has been aching all day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will rest for a bit, and once I am better tomorrow, I will start releasing chapters in bulk.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Your Majesty, this subject disagrees with what the Grand General has said.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Yuan Huai, the Grand Tutor and one of the Three Excellencies, stepped out and said loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He represented the power of the great Han aristocratic families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That He Jin, a butcher, could become Grand General was a resounding slap to the faces of the aristocratic families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the families led by Master Yuan Huai naturally had to constantly oppose He Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, these aristocratic families had all secretly supported forces in the Wu Lin, and this uprising of the Huang Jin rebel soldiers was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as one was bold enough to take a gamble, perhaps their status could advance even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the Runan Master Yuan clan represented by Master Yuan Huai, which had produced Three Excellencies for four generations and was one of the top aristocratic families in the Great Han Dynasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a high possibility they could ascend to the throne!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, even if the Great Han Dynasty were destroyed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it would not have much of an impact on these aristocratic families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once a new master or a new emperor replaced the old, they would still need to rely heavily on these aristocratic families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, they could still enjoy wealth and glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because they understood this that Master Yuan Huai and the others could oppose He Jin without fear, and repeatedly refute and even hollow out the power of Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, clenched his fists tightly, a hint of very subtle resentment flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That the Great Han Dynasty had reached such a state was entirely because of these aristocratic families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the imperial court down to the common people, they controlled the Great Han and sucked its blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Liu Hong could not do anything to them; he still had to rely on them to handle the various affairs of the imperial court and the Great Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time he thought of this, Liu Hong felt extremely depressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could neither stop the aristocratic families nor function without them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Hong felt utterly helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Yuan Huai straightened his clothing, bowed slightly to Liu Hong, and said, “Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject believes we should strike with the force of thunder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Use the fastest speed to catch these Huang Jin rebel soldiers off guard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In this way, we can restore a clear and stable Great Han in the shortest time with the minimal cost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When the Champion Marquis fought the Xiongnu back then, it was like this: rapid flanking attacks, destroying the enemy quickly before they could react.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today, our Great Han is no less than it was during the time of Emperor Wu, so we can certainly achieve this step.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Yuan Huai’s words sounded like they had significant loopholes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was deep meaning within them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words were entirely built upon the current prosperity of the Great Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If He Jin dared to object or offer a different opinion, Master Yuan Huai could immediately counterattack on the grounds that He Jin was belittling the Great Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most vicious part was the last sentence Master Yuan Huai said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In every aspect, the current Great Han was not even fit to carry the shoes of the era of Emperor Wu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone from the Emperor to the officials, and even the common people below, understood this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, while everyone knew it in their hearts, it absolutely could not be said out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this, one can see how much was hidden in Master Yuan Huai’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Jin cursed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They say scholars have black hearts; this was more than just black—it was rotten to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were the He Jin who had just entered the imperial court, he might have fallen into this little trap, but now that he had been immersed in the officialdom for many years, he naturally would not be fooled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought carefully, and suddenly a flash of inspiration gave him an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since the Grand Tutor says so, then this subject suggests that each aristocratic family should provide troops and grain to help the imperial court quell the rebellion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to what I know, every family now has fortified manors and private troops within the limits allowed by the imperial court.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If this force is gathered together, it is also a significant military strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Presumably, dealing with the Huang Jin rebel soldiers will become much easier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Jin laughed as he spoke, the expression on his face very confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does the current Great Han have troops?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could say yes, and one could say no.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the imperial court lacks are trained soldiers; the court only has some weak troops that have not undergone training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for the regions bordering foreign tribes—Liangzhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou—there are no strong troops in the other regions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The true elite are all held by the various aristocratic families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the time of Emperor Wu, in order to guard against accidents, the aristocratic families built fortified manors where their families resided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Defensive works, grain, and troops—everything was available inside the fortified manors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the slaves in the aristocratic families, even if the imperial court conducted a census, they would not be registered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, except for the heads of each family, no one knew how many private troops their own family had raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, with the current corruption in the imperial court, every aristocratic family could use weapons manufactured by the court, and even armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This resulted in the combat effectiveness of the aristocratic families’ private troops being extremely formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Emperor Guangwu ordered the destruction of the fortified manors, the prohibition could not be absolute, and since the aristocratic families controlled every part of the Great Han, as long as it was not too blatant, it did not matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Master Yuan Huai and the other aristocratic families heard He Jin’s words, their faces turned ugly one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Yuan Huai, in particular, was so angry that his face turned blue and purple by turns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected that the butcher he had always looked down upon could actually come up with such a scheme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly beyond his expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Emperor Ling of Han shouted with joy, and the way he looked at He Jin became more and more pleasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was indeed his own brother-in-law; regardless of the original intention of these words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they had helped him vent his anger properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This brother-in-law is reliable; he really steps up when there's trouble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Heavenly Demon Cang Qu who made the list this time is a person of our Great Han.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps we can try to find him; he had a friendship with our Master Yuan clan’s ancestor back then!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Yuan Huai said after thinking for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not something he said randomly; there were indeed relevant records in the Master Yuan family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only remembered this matter after seeing the Demon Sect make the list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this was also his way of breaking the trap He Jin had set for the aristocratic families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not that Master Yuan Huai was particularly noble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that He Jin’s proposal had too great an impact on the Master Yuan family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, he could use this opportunity to once again increase the Master Yuan family’s status among the aristocratic families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is what the Grand Tutor says true?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong, eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he felt as if he had grasped a straw to save his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could invite the help of the Heavenly Demon Cang Qu, what was there to fear from the mere Huang Jin Rebellion?\u003C\u002Fp>",1492,"2026-06-15T04:18:15.875Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","131327d07934f307e887cbcc0bc5dd4e4f0c057ab6371f5d929ca87d45e09a98","the-golden-list-descends-my-personal-maid-is-jia-chapter-145","the-golden-list-descends-my-personal-maid-is-jia-chapter-143",519,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-golden-ranking-descends-my-personal-maid-is--cover.jpg"]
