Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 334
So Liu Chan got up early in the morning and practiced riding and shooting in an open place by the river.

In the early morning, the Han River is misty, and the rice fields and fertile fields in the distance are all shrouded in mist.

In the open place by the river, there was a sound of breaking through the air from time to time, as well as cheers from Habayashi Wei and others!
It is said that he came to Wudu to supervise the battle against Chencang, but Liu Chan was not particularly busy. After all, it was not his turn to fight the enemy himself.

It's just that Liu Chan has another purpose, that is, he doesn't want to accompany Xia Houhui in Hanzhong.It's not that Liu Chan loves the new and dislikes the old, but that Xiahou Hui after pregnancy is too clingy, which makes Liu Chan a little overwhelmed.Sometimes couples stay apart for a while, but the relationship will be closer.

After coming to Wudu, there was no sticky Xiahou Hui.In addition to reviewing political affairs and battle reports, Liu Chan seems to have a lot of free time, and he picked up riding and shooting that he hadn't practiced for a long time.

"Hey! Hey!"

Liu Chan lightly kicked the horse's belly with both feet, and the steed galloped under his crotch. He let go of the rein with his right hand, and pulled out the arrow from the pouch with his backhand, took the bow and drew the string, and aimed sideways.

"Whoosh!" There was a sound of piercing through the air, and the arrow hit the dummy's chest. Sixty steps away, Liu Chan rode his horse forward without looking back.

"color!"

Habayashi Wei and others applauded and shouted.

Liu Chan lightly reined in the reins, and the steed under his crotch followed the momentum, galloped forward a few steps, and then stopped slowly.

Faced with the applause of the crowd, Liu Chan just shook his head and chuckled a few times. He was far from his peak moment!Although he was fifteen years old at the beginning, he was able to ride and shoot with a strong bow after undergoing a time-traveling mutation.Now the older I get, the more wives and concubines I have, and my energy has entered the peak moment, but the skill of riding and shooting is not as good as once.

Sure enough, women only affect the speed of my archery!

Liu Chan got off his horse, handed the reins to his guard, and smiled at Dong Yun: "The older you are, the less refined your shots are, why is that so?"

Dong Yun was quite happy, stroked his beard and said: "Your Majesty, human energy is limited. In recent years, Your Majesty has read the scriptures well, understands the affairs of governing the country, and manages the strategy of the army in detail. It is not easy. Retire, Your Majesty still has such a skill, it is beyond human ability!"

Liu Chan wiped the sweat off his head with a towel, smiled and said nothing.

Liu Chan handed the scarf to his personal guard, pointed to Li Gui, and said, "Wen Yi, when I was riding and shooting, I saw dozens of people arguing by the side of a field not far away. Just ask what's going on. It is necessary to call the officials to solve the problem."

"promise!"

Dong Yun followed behind Liu Chan and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, is it a farmer's fight?"

Liu Chan shook his head, put on his cloak, walked into the pavilion, and said, "I don't know, let Wen Yi deal with it first."

In the long pavilion by the river, Liu Chan knelt on a blanket, blowing the slightly cold late autumn wind. After exercising, he sobered up, took out the book "Shen Jian" written by Xun Yue, and flipped through it.

"Shen Jian" is not long, only five chapters, and its words are only tens of thousands of words, but after Liu Chan saw it for the first time, he was addicted to it, and he couldn't put down the scroll, and devoted himself to studying it.

What does Shen Jian mean?It is the meaning of the previous lesson that is clear, and then repeated.

What to reiterate, and who can learn from it?Shen Han's loss, let Han Emperor as a lesson.

In "Shen Jian", Xun Yue evaluated the erroneous policies of the two Hans from the founding of the Western Han Dynasty to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, criticized Cao Cao's dictatorship, and called for reform.His words are jerky, if not for Liu Chan being an emperor and coming from later generations, otherwise it would be quite difficult to read.

After reading for a while, Liu Chan sighed, closed "Shen Jian", and rubbed his brows.

He seemed to feel the helplessness of Xun Yue when he wrote "Shen Jian". He was in the court, but he was powerless.

Yes, at a loss!As an emerging unified empire, the Western Han Dynasty did not know how to deal with land annexation.As his successor, the Eastern Han Dynasty could only make up for the old system, and the land saving could only be done reluctantly when Guangwu was alive, and he couldn't even achieve the land restriction policy of the Western Han Dynasty Emperor Wu.

But what can I do...

Dong Yun seemed to be aware of Liu Chan's strangeness, put down the scroll, and asked, "Why is Your Majesty sighing?"

Liu Chan pointed to "Shen Jian", couldn't help getting up and sighing, and said: "I sigh because I don't see Xun Zhongyu (Xun Yue). It's a pity that such a talent is not known to the world!"

"Discussing the loss of the Han Dynasty, calling for the reform and revitalization. But it is not the owner, isn't it sad!"

"If I can only inherit the system of the Han Dynasty, but I can't change the prosperity of the Han system. What is the difference between my great Han and the Han of the later Han? Even if it can be revived, it may perish after a hundred years!"

Liu Chan straightened his waist and pressed the sword, looked at the rolling river, sighed near the river, and said.

I have to say, in his position, worry about his thoughts.

After a lapse of eight years, Liu Chan once again expressed his expectation of restructuring.

Unlike eight years ago, the great Han was troubled internally and externally, and the hearts of the people were uneasy. Even though he had a strong desire for reform, he had to act tactfully for the sake of the Northern Expedition.In the past few years, except for the separation of local military power and administrative power, and the recovery of the power to appoint county meritorious officials, the centralization of power has been carried out, and there have been almost no major changes.

At this time, the big man is more energetic, seems capable, and can make further major changes.

Dong Yun seemed to be impressed by Liu Chan's imperial aura, hesitated for a while, and asked, "May I ask what your majesty means?"

Liu Chan turned his head, raised the corners of his mouth, spread his hands, and said domineeringly: "I mean, there is no other way, but reform!"

This is the first time that Liu Chan has revealed his thoughts to outsiders except to Zhuge Liang.

Dong Yun's face changed drastically. The last one who shouted for reform was Wang Mang, who directly changed the world to fission, and all the heroes rose together. After decades, Guangwu was rejuvenated.

Liu Chan looked at Dong Yun's uncertain face, and asked with a smile, "What does Xiu Zhao mean?"

Dong Yun mused for a long time, then cupped his hands and said: "I have too little talent to know your majesty's deep meaning. I just hope that your majesty Shen Wangmang's mistakes in reforming the system can be used as a lesson."

Dong Yun, who has always been upright, did not dare to speak out to persuade Liu Chan, who was on the top of his head, and tactfully persuaded with Wang Mang's reform and Shen Jian.

Wang Mang's restructuring is also quite depressing.Wang Mang can be said to have a unique vision, seeing the social problems of the former Han Dynasty, such as land annexation and the proliferation of slaves and maidservants.But it is a pity that Wang Mang's series of actions were divorced from reality, and an edict to change private land into royal land directly forced the whole world to rebel.

Liu Chan couldn't deny it, waving his sleeves and bowing his waist, smiling without saying a word, looking at the river.There are a lot of thoughts in my heart, don't look at Liu Chan calling for reform, but how to change it?
Maybe Liu Chan himself doesn't know, but fortunately, Liu Chan can still learn from the system of later generations.

In the eighth year of Jianxing in "Han Ji Guangwen Emperor Ji", Zhongzu ruled "Shen Jian", and sighed by the river: "The former Han Dynasty was about to perish, and Wang Mang reorganized it, but it didn't work. Later Han revived it, and it was handed down for another [-] years."Just like a building that is about to collapse, it was supposed to be restored, but Guangwu was repaired, so the later Han Dynasty also returned to the appearance of the former Han Dynasty's subjugation.
