History live broadcast: the beginning is Qin Shihuang's live broadcast of the subjugation of th

Qin Shihuang: What a "judo"! "It is easy to cultivate oneself but difficult to maintain one's family." This should be something all emperors should consider!You are the hero who accompanies me to conquer the world, but I don’t want to share the country with you. Doesn’t “having great merit surpass the master” explain the problem?
Zhu Yuanzhang: Don't talk about it. I think I am a wise emperor, but these four words "great achievements surpass the master" are hanging over my head. Which emperor has no idea when encountering this matter?I believe it's impossible?

Li Shimin: Why not? Am I the one?

Zhu Di: Are you sure you haven't thought about removing Changsun Wuji's snobbery?

Li Shimin:  …

Wu Zetian: The contradiction between conquering the world and governing the world is often triggered by the issue of how to treat old heroes. The world was brought by this group of people. It seems unreasonable not to let them share the rights and interests of governing the world, but they are needed to govern the world. , how to deal with it is a big problem? "The cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks." The founding emperors of all dynasties were very cruel, but Emperor Guangwu was a special case. The "judo" he used on his heroes was wonderful!

Qin Shihuang: OK, OK!If a female emperor can become an emperor, I know you are special. Although you are vicious, your thoughts on the political power are indeed deep enough, which is much better than some men becoming emperors.

Yue Fei: Her Majesty the Queen said it well!We are needed to conquer the world, govern the world, and stabilize the political power. We will accompany you to conquer the world, but you can't escape the four words "higher merits than master". It's really ridiculous!In this matter, Emperor Guangwu did indeed do a good job, but the matter regarding the Xiongnu is still a black spot in your governance.

Bai Qi: If you can really do what Emperor Guangwu did, you will be satisfied with food and clothing for the rest of your life.

Zhang Liang: Not only the emperor is afraid, sometimes the ministers also have to act blindly!

Liu Che: What's going on with the Huns?

"His Majesty the First Emperor's words, "It is easy to cultivate one's self, but difficult to maintain one's family," explains the reason."

"Which emperor doesn't want to be a wise king? Liu Xiu also wants to be a wise king."

"He doesn't like luxury and indulgence, and has no interest in food, wine, music, or jewelry."

"It is a custom for emperors to build mausoleums in advance while they are still alive, but Liu Xiu ordered that they should not occupy too much space, do not pile up high tombs, and that low-lying areas should not accumulate water. After the change of dynasties in the future, the corpses, coffins and soil Become one.”

"He also said that after his death, he would not be buried with gold, silver and jewelry like Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. When the Red Eyebrow Army robbed the burial objects from the imperial mausoleums of the Western Han Dynasty, only Emperor Wen's mausoleum was spared. Liu Xiu believed that this was the reward of simplicity."

"He can often stay awake when singing praises to his subjects."

"In his edicts, he often claimed that he had "poor moral character" and asked officials not to praise him as a saint."

"Reports from various places confirmed the auspiciousness of the virtuous government. He did not allow historians to record it. On one occasion, he even ordered that if the county sent people to the capital to boast, the person's hair would be shaved and sent to the frontier to work in the fields."

"Liu Xiuchang can tolerate and appreciate people who are upright, even if they offend Long Yan."

"Once Liu Xiu went hunting in the countryside and returned to Luoyang at night. He wanted to enter the city through the northeast gate, but the gate guard Zhi Yun refused to open the door."

"Liu Xiu ordered his entourage to approach the crack of the door and talk to Zhi Yun. Zhi Yun replied that the brightness of the torch was limited and he could not see clearly, so Liu Xiu had to go around to another gate to enter the city."

"Unexpectedly, Zhi Yun wrote a letter the next day, saying that he hunted in the mountains and forests, day and night, and did not take the Sheji Ancestral Temple seriously. Not only did Liu Xiu not get angry, but he also rewarded him with a hundred pieces of cloth. However, the city gate official who let the emperor into the city did not Unlucky enough, he was demoted to the rank of county captain."

"If you can control yourself, you can't control your family. Politicians throughout the ages have suffered a lot from this, and Liu Xiu was not immune."

"He lost his father when he was young. It was his uncle Liu Liang who raised their brothers. When he became emperor, Liu Liang was named King of Zhao."

"Once when he entered the city, he fought with others and scolded the palace officials and city gate guards. He was impeached by Sili Colonel Bao Yong." "Bao Yong also had a subordinate named Bao Hui, who was just like him. Not afraid of power Liu Xiuchang said that the emperor's relatives should restrain themselves and avoid the two people named Bao."

"Later, Liu Liang was seriously ill, and Liu Xiu went to visit his uncle and asked him what his wish was."

"Liu Liang said that he had a deep relationship with Li Zichun, a native of Huai County. Li had committed a crime and the county magistrate Zhao Xi wanted to kill him in order to save his life."

"Liu Xiu said that local officials cannot be biased in enforcing laws and regulations. Let's change the matter to something else. Liu Liang didn't say anything else. After his death, Liu Xiu remembered his uncle and finally pardoned Li Zichun."

"Sister Liu Huang also caused a lot of trouble for Liu Xiu."

"Her slaves killed people in broad daylight and hid in her house so that the officials could not arrest them."

"Later, when Liu Huang went out, the servant was riding with him in the carriage. Luoyang County Magistrate Dong Xuan stopped the carriage, loudly criticized the princess for her fault, then ordered the servant to get out of the car and killed her on the spot."

"Liu Huang ran to the palace and cried. Liu Xiu was furious and summoned Dong Xuan to beat him to death with sticks. However, Dong Xuan was persuaded by his words and asked him to kowtow to Liu Huang to apologize."

"Dong Xuan refused to kowtow, so someone pressed his neck."

"Dong Xuan put his hands on the ground and did not bow his head in the end."

"Liu Huang blames my brother. When you were a commoner, you hid desperadoes who committed capital crimes, and officials did not dare to come. Now that you are the emperor, you can't even deal with a county magistrate?"

"Liu Xiu said with a smile that it was because the emperor could not act like a commoner, so he pardoned Dong Xuan and said: Get out of the tough-necked county magistrate!"

"There is another matter related to Liu Huang, which also reveals Liu Xiu's temperament."

"At that time, Liu Huang's husband had just died. Liu Xiu discussed the court officials with her and secretly understood her intention to remarry."

"Liu Huang had a good impression of the Grand Sima Song Hong, and Liu Xiu promised her that he would find a solution. Soon, he summoned Song Hong and asked Liu Huang to stay behind the screen."

"Liu Xiu said to Song Hong, "There is a saying among the people that if you have a noble status, you need to change your friends, and if your wealth increases, you need to marry another wife. Is this human nature? "

Song Hong replied, "The saying I heard is that friends of the poor and the humble should not be forgotten, and the wife of chaff should not go to court."

Liu Xiu turned to her sister behind the screen and said, "This can't be done."

"Liu Xiu's magnanimity is also shown in his interactions with some reclusive people."

"Zhou Dang from Taiyuan County was well-known in the local area. He was recruited to Luoyang. When he came to see him, he just bent down and did not kowtow. He also refused to become an official."

"Doctor Fan Sheng impeached him, but Liu Xiu issued an edict saying, "Since ancient times, the Ming king and the Holy Lord have people who are unwilling to serve. Boyi and Shuqi do not eat Zhou Su, and the Zhou party does not accept my salary, they are just human beings. Everyone has his own ambition. ""

"So I rewarded Zhou Dang with forty bolts of silk and sent him back to his hometown."
