I Popularized the Pokemons in the Three Kingdoms

"What? Destroyed the Han Dynasty?"

After hearing this, Liu Hong could no longer sit still.

He suddenly stood up from the sofa, eyes wide open, looking at Lin Yu in disbelief.

"How is this possible?"

"It's just an uprising..."

Liu Hong said with trembling lips.

The Han Dynasty has lasted nearly four hundred years since Emperor Gaozu slew the white snake.

Although there were many twists and turns in the process, he never thought that the Han Dynasty would perish.

Liu Hong was indeed a tyrant. He lived an extravagant life, sold official positions and titles, indulged in wine and women, and favored eunuchs. He did all these things, and he admitted it!

As a child who grew up in a poor family, he didn't think there was anything wrong with suddenly having money and wanting to enjoy life.

Anyway, he had never thought about establishing great achievements like Gaozu and Guangwu.

But he never thought of abandoning his ancestors' inheritance!

He doesn't want to be the king of a fallen country!

If this is true, how can we face our ancestors in the underworld?

At this moment, Liu Hong was completely panicked.

I was more panicked than when I knew I only had seven years left to live!

"How is it impossible? How did the Qin Dynasty fall? Doesn't Your Majesty know?"

Lin Yu said with a sneer.

Which dynasty's demise did not begin with a peasant uprising?

"After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Dynasty persisted in your Majesty's hands for several years."

"However, after your majesty passed away, the Han Dynasty began to fall apart."

"The foreign relatives and the eunuchs fought each other, and both sides suffered losses. They all died in the first wave of unrest."

"Afterwards, your Majesty's mother and the queen also died one after another."

"Two sons, one died, and the other was a puppet for life."

"After years of fighting, there were three regimes fighting each other."

"The regime was finally unified, but it was stolen by a shameless old thief."

"Later, there was the tragic invasion of China by the Five Barbarians."

"The Hudi spread all over the Central Plains, and almost all the Han people were slaughtered and became food for the Hu people. They were called two-legged sheep in history."

"From the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the next stable unified dynasty, there was almost five hundred years of war and chaos."

Lin Yu's words were like a knife, cutting into the heart of Emperor Ling of Han, Liu Hong.

quiet!

Dead silence, Normal silence!

At this moment, both Liu Hong and Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong behind him needed time to digest what Lin Yu had just said.

There is too much information.

At this time, they were so shocked by this incredible news that their brains were almost unable to function.

The Han Dynasty is about to perish?

They heard it right!

Not only will the Han man die, but those present will also die.

"Are the mother, the queen, and the son all dead?"

It is impossible to describe Liu Hong's mood at this moment.

I originally thought that having only seven years left to live was the worst thing that could happen.

Who knows, compared with the explosive things that happened later, it was already very insignificant.

"Were my mother, empress, and son all killed after my death?"

"The Han Dynasty was destroyed, the Central Plains was taken away by the Hu people, and the Han people actually became the food of the Hu people?"

"How is this possible?"

"Those lowly barbarians..."

This explosive news made Liu Hong feel cold all over and he couldn't utter a word.

He needs time to digest.

For a moment he couldn't accept it.

"The relatives of the emperor's wife and the eunuchs fought against each other, and all of them died in the first wave of unrest."

In addition to Liu Hong, the two eunuchs Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were also on the verge of tears.

After working so hard for so many years to climb up the ladder, fighting against in-laws, suppressing aristocratic families, and adopting godsons everywhere.

Who knows...

In the blink of an eye, not to mention my home, even my country is gone.

This... this...

...

"Why did the Han Dynasty fall? Was it just because of an uprising? Didn't the Han Dynasty last for a few years after the uprising?"

After a full half hour, Liu Hong, who had calmed down, slowly asked Lin Yu.

"If I want to know the reason why the Han Dynasty fell, I must stop it!"

When saying this, Liu Hong clenched his hands and his eyes were determined.

"A dynasty certainly doesn't fall just because of an uprising."

"However, Your Majesty, you have to understand that what I know is all about what happened before I traveled through time."

"Now that I have traveled to the Eastern Han Dynasty, perhaps history has changed."

Lin Yu looked at Liu Hong and said calmly.

"I know, just tell me."

Liu Hong naturally understood that history had changed since Lin Yu told him that he was from a later generation and told him the history afterward.

However, he still wanted to know the reason for the demise of the Han Dynasty.

"The reasons for the fall of the Han Dynasty are similar to those of many later dynasties, but they are also unique."

"Specific matters naturally need to be analyzed specifically."

"The first problem is the weakening of the imperial power of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the political turmoil in the central government."

Lin Yu took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

"During the Eastern Han Dynasty, emperors generally ascended the throne at a relatively young age."

"For example, Emperor He of Han, Liu Zhao, ascended the throne at the age of nine; Emperor Shang of Han, Liu Long, ascended the throne at the age of just one hundred days; and Emperor Shun of Han, Liu Bao, ascended the throne at the age of five."

"Young emperors are unable to effectively control the overall political situation, so they often need to rely on their relatives and eunuchs, which leads to the phenomenon of 'young emperor and strong mother'.

"This was also a major feature of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Dou, Deng, Yan and Liang families, among other foreign relatives, all became the emperor's right-hand men."

"However, these relatives do not truly govern the country, they only enrich themselves."

At this point, Liu Hong, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others kept nodding.

Yes, yes, you are right.

That group of in-laws were like that.

None of them are good.

"However, when the emperor came of age, he would often use the power of eunuchs to fight against his relatives in order to regain power."

"This enabled the eunuchs to take control of the government and become the actual controllers of the country."

"However, the harm caused by eunuchs' disorderly politics to the country is equally serious."

"Most of them behave recklessly and bring disaster to the country."

Before Lin Yu could continue speaking, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others immediately knelt down in front of Liu Hong.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I have never done anything wrong!"

"Someone is committing illegal acts in the name of a slave from time to time. Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong had beads of sweat on their foreheads at this time, and they kept crying and kowtowing to apologize.

This shopkeeper Lin is really an ancestor!

He was just talking about his in-laws, but now he is talking about himself.

"Why are you crying? Shut up and don't disturb Master Lin from talking!"

Liu Hong didn't let the two get up. He turned his head to look at them and scolded them coldly, with a bit of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Of course, in addition to the relatives and eunuchs, the ministers in the court also made great contributions."

Lin Yu ignored Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong and continued talking.

"The struggle between the eunuchs and the ministers was very fierce, and the various forces fought for power and profit, and even the so-called 'Party and Prison Dispute' occurred in history, which led to political chaos and made it impossible to govern the country."

"Under these circumstances, the Eastern Han Dynasty naturally gradually declined, and eventually led to the fall of the dynasty."

Liu Hong was silent.

He naturally knew what Lin Yu was talking about.

He had used the power of eunuchs to get rid of his relatives by marriage.

Even the Party and Faction Persecution reached its peak with his support.

But he never imagined that things would be so serious.

What I didn't expect was that this incident would be recorded in history books and passed down to later generations.

This was far beyond Liu Hong's imagination.

"How will the future generations evaluate the 'Party Imprisonment'?"

Liu Hong asked Lin Yu angrily.

Well...

How can I evaluate it?

Of course, I'm calling you an idiot!

Even if you want to deal with those scholars, you can't do it like this, big brother!

Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents!

You directly ruined the future of these scholars, what's the difference between that and killing them?

If you play this way, even if there is no Yellow Turban Rebellion led by General Tian Gong, those scholars will fight you to the death sooner or later!

It is hard to say whether there is any behind-the-scenes support for this uprising, or if there is conspiracy behind it.

After all, no matter what the truth was, the Party Ban was lifted with the help of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

"How else can I comment? The disadvantages outweigh the advantages!"

Lin Yu curled his lips and found a relatively euphemistic statement.

After all, he is the Emperor of Han, the supreme ruler recognized by everyone in the world, so Lin Yu still has to give Liu Hong some face.

After hearing Lin Yu say this, Liu Hong stopped asking further questions.

Anyway, there will definitely be nothing good to say.

"There are certain things about the scholars that Your Majesty is dissatisfied with, but they are still an important force in maintaining stability in the world. Even if you want to suppress them, you can't be too hasty, otherwise there will be trouble."

After a moment of silence, Lin Yu decided to say a few more words.

"Of course, among the scholars, there are many who talk about morality, righteousness, and morality, but are corrupt and take human lives lightly. They only care about themselves, not the emperor or the country."

"But there are also some noblemen who care about the country. Your Majesty should not treat them all the same!"

After hearing this, Liu Hong was silent for a while and said nothing.

Then, he nodded slowly.

"Master Lin, besides this, are there any other reasons that led to the demise of the Han Dynasty?"
