Chapter 39 Five stars come out of the east, benefiting China

[In 65 BC, the Huangkao Temple was established for his father Liu Jin. 】

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
  "Good boy! I understand! I understand!"

Liu Che was originally a little uneasy because of a "love affair" in the old Liu family.

After seeing this message again, I suddenly understood something!
  "This guy, huh, is quite capable."

After being happy, Liu Che tilted his body and leaned on the soft couch, snorted and said arrogantly.

The whole person exudes an aura of "I don't want you to come and ask me!"
  Wei Zifu on the side understood this gesture as soon as he saw it.

"What did your Majesty understand? Can you explain it to me?"

Wei Zifu's eyes widened, as if "I don't understand, and I need your Majesty to clarify my confusion."

Looking at Wei Zifu's appearance, Liu Che nodded with satisfaction.

"Then I will tell you a little bit!"

After saying that, he sat upright excitedly,
  "This kid gave me a temple title in the second year after he ascended the throne. In fact, I didn't understand what he meant at the time."

"But after I saw that he established the Huangkao Temple for his father, I understood!"

"This kid has been holding back this energy from the beginning!"

"The first reason why I was given a temple title is to win over Zimei! He uses this to show that you and I are on the same side!"

"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

Wei Zifu, who was just pretending at first, really doesn't understand now.

Liu Che shook his sleeves and said disdainfully:

"Humph, I can't understand these ministers!"

"They don't dare to let out a fart when I'm alive, but after I'm dead, they can let it go as they please!"

"Sigh... It's not easy to get a temple title based on the things I did in my later years."

"Liu Fulin failed to give me a temple title, which gave the disease a chance."

"Although he came to the throne after Si Fuling, his background cannot be changed. If he wants to stand firm in the court, he needs higher legal rationality!"

Liu Che's eyes were blazing, and his tone was inexplicably excited.

Wei Zifu slightly guessed, covered his mouth and exclaimed:

"Is he trying to take advantage of His Majesty..."

"That's right! He just used me as a raft!"

Liu Che stood up and said loudly:
  "Only direct descendants can build a temple!"

"He told the civil and military officials about building a temple for me. He indeed ascended the throne as the 'Queen of Xiaozhao'!"

"But, he is the descendant of Hanwu! His direct lineage!"

Liu Che, who became more and more excited as he talked, put one hand on his hips and waved the other.

"This is how he distinguishes himself from Fuling, who ascended the throne as a concubine and a young son!"

"Show yourself that you are the orthodox person who will inherit Emperor Wu's career and legacy!"

"In this way, not only is his succession a matter of course, but it is also completely legal!"

"Zimei's legal rationality after inheriting my imperial edict is also inferior to his!"

"Moreover, giving me a temple title is also very consistent with Zimei's position! Because this is also the legitimacy of his regency! Zimei has no way and no reason to object!"

"And once he takes the temple title, Liu Bingji will be the 'real' direct descendant of Emperor Wu!"

"There is no reason for Zimei to abolish the establishment anymore!" "And it is only natural and filial to build an emperor's temple for his father."

Liu Che put his hands on his hips and couldn't help but sigh:
  "Inherit the great unification, work together to create beauty, never forget filial piety, keep a low profile and bide your time"

"Kill four eagles with one stone!"

"Not bad! Really good!"

Liu Che looked at the sky and nodded repeatedly.

Then I heard a faint voice coming from behind:

"Therefore, Ju'er's posthumous title can only be "Rou" and can no longer be changed."

At that moment, Liu Che froze.

His mother...forgot, completely forgot about this matter!
  ……

The marquee continues to play.

[In 64 BC, in order to make it easier for people to avoid taboos, Liu Bing changed his name to Liu Xun and pardoned all those who had committed crimes because of taboos]

[In 63 BC, because there were always phoenixes inhabiting Mount Tai, the world was given gold, nobles, cattle, wine, and silk. In March, Liu He, the former king of Changyi, was granted the title of Marquis of Haihun]

[In the first month of 62 BC, Taizhong officials and others were sent to patrol the country to visit the orphans and widows, observe the customs and sentiments of the people, inspect the administration, and discover and recommend talents]

[In the third month, the imperial edict granted the officials of the world nobility, cattle, wine, and silk. Because of the good harvests every year, every stone of grain is worth five qian. 】

[In March 61 BC, the officials and people of the world were given gifts of nobles, cattle, wine, and silk fabrics. Money and materials for loans were exempted. No land rent was paid in the places where Emperor Xuan passed through. 】

[In April, the Xiqiang rebelled. General Zhao Chongguo, who was over seventy years old, asked Emperor Xuan for orders. He then led his army to quell the Xiqiang rebellion and wiped out almost 50,000 Qiang troops. 】

[After this battle, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to Zhao Chongguo to continue to lead his army to farm, and to set up a vassal state of Jincheng to resettle the surrendered Qiang people. 】

……

A piece of exquisite brocade cloth suddenly appeared on the sky screen.

Gold pattern on blue background.

Several embroidered characters are clearly visible on it.

……

[In the edict sent by Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty to Zhao Chongguo, it was said: "Today the five stars are out of the east, China will benefit greatly, and the barbarians will be defeated."]

[Nearly two thousand years later, a joint archaeological team discovered an exquisite piece of Shu brocade from the Han Dynasty in an ancient tomb at the Niya site in the Western Regions. On it was a sentence woven with Han official script: "Five stars come out of the east and benefit China."]

[Across the long river of history, the documentary records in history books and the weavings on the Shu brocade excavated by archaeologists are in perfect contrast. 】

……

{This is the cultural heritage, this is the inheritance (thumbs up)}
  {The five stars come out of the east, benefiting China, killing the Southern Qiang, subduing the four barbarians, surrendering the Shanyu, and being incomparable with the sky! }

{This is actually quite interesting, the Five Stars really came out of the East}

……

Big man,

"Hey, Xiao He! Did you hear that? Two thousand years!"

Liu Bang sat on the steps and yelled at Xiao He, who was also sitting next to him, and raised two fingers.

"Two thousand years! Han people! Han people! Han people of the Han Dynasty!"

"Hahahaha!"

Young and hearty laughter echoed in front of Weiyang Palace

Looking at Liu Bang who had become younger, Xiao He shook his head helplessly.

He understood what Liu Bang meant, but he just didn't want to pay attention to him.

As people get younger, their temperament becomes more and more out of character...

Weiyang Palace,
  "Mom, did you hear anything? Someone seems to be crying?"

Liu Ying poked her head outside the palace gate in confusion.

Lu Pheasant closed her eyes. She didn't want to talk to anyone now.

The ministers below wanted to stuff their heads into the ground.

Your Majesty, you should either go farther away or laugh less, and don't harm us!

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
  "presumptuous!"

Liu Che cursed when he saw that message!
  "You unworthy descendants! You actually dug up the graves of your ancestors!"

"and many more…"

Liu Che suddenly remembered that his own grave had been dug up, which he had mentioned when taking stock of his grandfather's achievements, and he became even more angry!
  "Will we be able to dig our ancestors' graves in two thousand years?"

"Your emperor actually doesn't kill you?"

"The rites are ruined and the music is ruined! The rites are ruined and the music is ruined!"

……

[In May 60 BC, Xiqiang surrendered. 】

[In the autumn, the Xiongnu chased the king and the sages, and brought more than ten thousand people to surrender. 】

[Emperor Xuan sent Zheng Ji to send 5 soldiers from the Quli and Qiuci kingdoms to meet the surrender. Zheng Ji also captured Che Division without any bloodshed. Since then, the Xiongnu's power in the Western Regions has completely collapsed. 】

[Zheng Ji defeated the charioteer, descended to the sun to chase the king, and his reputation shocked the Western Regions. Emperor Xuan worshiped him as the protector of the Western Regions, granted him the title of Marquis of Anyuan, and also protected the charioteer and other countries in the northwest. 】

……

The canopy continues to play,

The red map of Han territory appeared on the sky again,

The territory map at this time was nearly twice as large as the territory map during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!
  The entire Western Region has also turned into red Han soil!
  ……

[Zheng Ji set up a shogunate in the center of the Western Regions and built Wulei City, more than 2,700 miles away from Yangguan, commanding the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. The Han Dynasty's order was officially issued to surrender the Western Qiang in the vast Western Regions, and built Jincheng to resettle the surrendered Qiang people. . 】

[The establishment of the Protectorate of the Western Regions was an epoch-making event not only for the Han Dynasty, but also for the Chinese history! 】

[After Zhang Qian, the Han and Huns fought for more than seventy years until the Xiongnu king returned. With the establishment of the Western Region Protector, the vast area of ​​the Western Region was officially under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty. 】

……

{I will see you off at the east gate of Luntai. When you leave, the road to Tianshan Mountain is covered with snow. }
  {Grapes, wine, beauties, here we come! }
  {The Western Region Protectorate has a strong restraint on the nomadic forces in the north! } {Yes, after controlling the Western Regions and encountering nomads heading south, the Central Plains Dynasty can send troops from the Protectorate of the Western Regions directly into the rear areas of the northern nomads! }

{But it is effective, because the position of the nomadic royal court is not absolutely fixed, but it can control some military initiative. }
  {The establishment of the Protectorate of the Western Regions also included Princess Chang Hui and Jie You. They are not familiar people in history. }
  {Maybe it’s because Su Wu’s light was so bright that it overshadowed Chang Hui. Perhaps because of Princess Jieyou’s female status, they did not receive much attention. But both of them are courageous people. Just as the name suggests, Jieyou solves the country's worries. She is indispensable for the establishment of the Western Region Protectorate. Chang Hui has gray hair, but he still works hard for the country and leaves a name in history! }

……

Tang Dezong Period
  Li Shi, wearing a blue round-collared robe and a futou on his head, stared blankly at the sky.

"Western Region...Anxi..."

"Hexi, Anxi, Gua, Sha, Gan, Liang, Su, these states are gone...gone..."

"Taizong...what should I do?"

"Where is the way out for the Tang Dynasty..."

……

[In May 59 BC, the Xiongnu Chanyu sent his younger brother Huliuruo Wang Shengzhi to Chang'an to meet Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty to congratulate him on the first month]

[In 57 BC, Prince Liu Shi performed the coronation ceremony. 】

……

In Changle Palace,

Liu Xun, who was wearing a mysterious robe and a long crown, looked at Liu Shi who was sitting next to him with a serious face, and his expression was ugly.

"Father!"

"The world must be governed with benevolent governance!"

Liu Shi, who was at the bottom, said eloquently:

"It's wrong for you to be tortured by a law official!"

"Legalism is too domineering and undesirable!"

"Ministers Yang Yun, Gai Kuorao, and others just pointed out your faults and punished them for their crimes!"

"My father's punishment is too profound and his method is too cruel. It is better to use a Confucian scholar."

Liu Xun took action!

Liu Shi was so frightened!
  Liu Xun paced back and forth angrily, pointing his sword at his son.

"You...you!"

"Stupid! So stupid!"

"Our Han family has its own system, and it has always been used with a mixture of domineering and kingly ways. How can we be like the Zhou Dynasty and only rely on moral education!"

"That Confucian scholar is so arrogant! He always compares the past with the present! He makes dazzling and unrealistic things all day long, and yet he dares to reuse them?!"

Liu Xun pointed at Liu Shi who was shrinking his head and said nothing, and shouted loudly:
  "Get out! Get out of here!"

Looking at Liu Shi who left in a hurry with a disgraced face.

Liu Xun, who was helpless with his hands on his hips, couldn't help but sigh.

"The prince is the one who messes with my family!"

……

{The love left behind by Nanyuan is deeply loved by the sword. Emperor Xuan's feelings for Xu Pingjun could not make him depose the crown prince like his great-grandfather. }
  {It’s a pity that I didn’t have more children. }
  {The one who disrupts my family is the prince. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun was also burdened by emotions. }
  {Liu Xun: Son, remember, our Han family must use foreign Confucianism and internal methods to govern the world, don’t forget it! }
  {Liu Shi: Ah, dad, I understand, it’s about external Confucianism and internal law, right? I use Confucian officials in the outer dynasty and legal officials in the internal dynasty. Dad, do you think this is external Confucianism and internal law (dog head)}

……

Da Qin,

"Confucian scholar, hum!"

"A bunch of pedantic people!"

Ying Zheng snorted as he remembered something not so wonderful.

"It seems that the decline of the Han family will fall on this prince."

……

Big man,

"Xiao He, why do you think these Confucian scholars' heads are so stiff?"

Liu Bang, who was holding his hands back on the steps with his legs crossed, didn't care at all who was messing with the Han family.

He just looked puzzled.

"If the Zhou Dynasty was so good, could it still fall?"

"Your Majesty, the way of Confucianism has never been to restore the Zhou Dynasty, but to restore the patriarchal system."

Xiao He sighed and explained slowly.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, because..."

"Forget it! Nai Gong doesn't want to hear it anymore."

Xiao He, who was about to explain in detail the fundamentals of Confucian philosophy, almost couldn't catch his breath.

Looking at Liu Bang swinging his feet wildly,

Xiao He tried his best to luck again.

This man was so annoying when he was young!

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
  Liu Che, who was still angry at first, saw Liu Xun's words "overlord and Tao Zazhi".

I couldn't help but have fun.

"You are truly worthy of being my descendant, with my style! Like me!"

"Overlord Daozazhi! Well said!"

But then he sighed again,

To reuse Confucian scholars is just to tell others.

As an emperor, you must make use of the Confucian viewpoints that are beneficial to your rule!

Instead of being used by Confucianism!

This prince is so stupid!

How can the complexity of governing a country and the unpredictability of people's hearts be as simple as Confucianism says!
  Apply benevolent government, benevolent government alone is of no use!

Liu Che thought again of the teachings he had given to the prince in the sky, and couldn't help but hold his head.

Dare to lead troops to rebel against me, it shows that you are still a bit bloody in your bones, but you have been spoiled by Confucianism.
  It seems that we can't just point out some Confucian scholars to Ju'er as teachers.

but……

You still want to let such a stupid person continue to be the prince.

Do you have to be this kind of lover?

Liu Che didn't understand.

……

[In 55 BC, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty reduced the world's oral tax. 】

[In the first month of 54 BC, the Xiongnu Chanyu proclaimed himself a minister and sent his younger brother King Guli to serve in the court. 】

[In the same year, Changpingcang was established to increase the number of merchants when the grain is low, in order to benefit farmers, and to reduce the number of merchants when the grain is high, and it is called Changpingcang. It is convenient for the people." It avoids "the low price of grain hurts the farmers" again. Preventing "the wealth of the people hurts the people"]

[In the same year, Huo Chengjun committed suicide and was buried in the east of Kunwu Pavilion, Lantian County]

[In the first month of 53 BC, the Xiongnu Chanyu sent his son Youxian Wang Bah Lou Qutang to serve in the imperial court]

[In winter, the Xiongnu Chanyu sent his younger brother, King Zuoxian, to pay his respects. 】

[In the winter of December of 52 BC, Huhanxie Chanyu of the Xiongnu knelt down at Wuyuan fortress, wishing to pay tribute to the first month of the third year of Ganlu with the national treasure]

The canopy continues to play,

In Ganquan Palace,

Liu Xun, who wore a heavenly crown and a mysterious robe, looked at the people kneeling below him with a smile.

"My lord, Hu Hanxie pays homage to His Majesty!"

The Huns, with their hair braided, wearing eagle feathers on their heads and fur robes, saluted loudly.

"There is no need to be polite to Shanyu Huhanxie. If someone comes, take Shanyu down to rest."

Liu Xun, who was sitting at the top, waved his hand.

……

[In the first month of 51 BC, the Xiongnu Hu Hanxie Chanyu Jihou Xun came to the court. When he paid homage, he called himself a vassal but did not sign up. The Zhizhi Chanyu was isolated and fled far away. The Xiongnu became stable from then on. 】

[Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty granted the people a second level of nobility and ordered that the number of people in the country be reduced by 1 yuan as a gift. And the land rent for the current year is exempted. 】

[In March, various Confucian scholars were ordered to lecture on the similarities and differences of the Five Classics, and doctors of Yi, Shangshu, and Gu Liang's Spring and Autumn Annals were established]

[Winter, Wusun Princess Liu Jieyou returns home]

[In the first month of spring in 49 BC, Emperor Xuan came to Ganquan Palace and offered sacrifices to the Thai people in the suburbs. The Huns called Hanxie Chanyu to come to court. 】

[In February, Emperor Xuan issued an edict to rectify the administration of officials, asking the three princes and the censor to pay attention to and carefully check the accounting books to ensure the safety of the people]

[In the twelfth month of winter, Emperor Xuan was seriously ill and ordered Shi Gao, the Marquis of Leling, to be appointed as the Great Sima and Cavalry General, the Crown Prince Xiao Wangzhi as the former General Guanglu Xun, and the Young Master Zhou Kan as the Guanglu Doctor. Together they assist the prince. 】

[On Jiaxu day in December 48 BC, Liu Xun died in Weiyang Palace. After reigning for 25 years, he was given the posthumous title of Emperor Xiaoxuan and the temple name of Zhongzong. He was buried in Duling. 】

 In fact, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty also began to become mediocre in his later years, just like his great-grandfather.

  The disadvantage is that he will die early.

  Unreliable and irresponsible speculation, if Li Longji died early, he would be a replica of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty!
    And if Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty had not died early, he might have been Li Longji's predecessor.
