……

{The score is so high? really! Taller than the First Emperor! }
  {I don’t want to say anything, but you didn’t mention a word about how many points the First Emperor scored on the people’s livelihood panel! }
  {The panel is like this. Many people cannot accept it after it is arranged into data, but subjective emotions and objective facts are not the same thing. And data has a range, just a considerable feeling does not mean everything. }
  {This is an inventory of achievements, not an inventory of gains and losses of characters. It is impossible to detail everything. Otherwise, the First Emperor could speak a hundred thousand words, so let’s stop talking about it. }
  {I still think this score is low! Author, are you trying to score points? Isn’t the Protectorate of the Western Regions worthy? }
  {The Protectorate of the Western Regions is just right for S, but there is also "Gu Liang"! You don’t need the good "Gongyang", why use "Guliang"! }
  {You really don’t understand "Rongyang"}
  {Why is the people’s livelihood economy so high? Just pick up the wisdom of the predecessors! }

{Because it became a formal system during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty! Do you understand what price control means? }

{It’s just blowing, it’s not that powerful. }
  {The reign of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was the most prosperous period of the First Chinese Empire! }

……

In an instant! The sky is filled with golden light!
  The continuous clouds are dyed with golden glow!

A buzzing sound got louder and louder!

When the sound reaches its peak, a clear and sweet sound of phoenix cry suddenly comes from the sky!

An extremely gorgeous phoenix hovers over Chang'an City with its brilliant tail feathers.

During the reign of Emperor Xuan, the people of Chang'an looked at the extremely colorful phoenix in shock.

"Is that a phoenix bird?"

"His Majesty has just ascended the throne and the Phoenix Divine Lord has arrived in Chang'an?! Ruixiang! Such auspiciousness!"

"Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"

The people of Chang'an City couldn't help but shout long live the mountain.

The hovering phoenix chirped, and the clear phoenix cry resounded throughout the world!
  Then he dragged his gorgeous tail feathers and roared straight to Weiyang Palace.

At this time, Liu Xun and his party were already waiting in front of Weiyang Palace.

Watching the phoenix flying in the sky really slowly fall in front of you.

Not only the ministers were stunned, but Huo Guang was also in disbelief.
  Liu Xun, on the other hand, couldn't help being happy.
  The phoenix gathered its wings, turned its head slightly and chirped again.

"The phoenix is ​​flying and singing in harmony."

"Zuo Zhuan never deceived me."

A great Confucian scholar couldn't help but murmured to himself after hearing this phoenix cry.

"Danjun, are you asking me to go up?"

Recalling the scene of Emperor Gaozu riding a dragon in the sky, Liu Xun looked at the Phoenix's movements and asked tentatively.

Phoenix nodded.

"Then I would be rude!"

Liu Xun's joy was indescribable, and he turned over directly with the help of the wings stretched out by the phoenix!

"His Majesty…"

Although the phoenix is ​​a sacred bird, all the ministers can't help but be a little worried.

"My lords, rest assured, I will be safe and sound as long as Lord Dan is with me!"

Liu Xun waved his hand to reassure the ministers.

No, Your Majesty, we are worried that you will crush the sacred bird!
  All the ministers couldn't help but feel worried when they looked at Phoenix, who was only about one person tall.

Although Emperor Gaozu rode a dragon, the red dragon was huge! Just the dragon head is about one foot long!
  Compared to this, this phoenix is ​​indeed a little thinner.

The emperor can still look for it, but there is only one phoenix!

Liu Xun didn't know the slander of the ministers, so he just grabbed Feng Yu excitedly and nervously.

When Phoenix saw Liu Xun sitting firmly, he spread his wings.

It's not as laborious as everyone suspected.

Just a flick of the door and it will skyrocket!

Flying higher and higher, flying farther and farther.

All the ministers were left worried and watched him go.

……

Da Qin,

Zhangtai Palace,
  Ying Zheng, dressed in black uniform, sat upright.

He touched the bamboo slips in his hands and calculated.

After watching the operations of these emperors in the early Han Dynasty, he also had a rough framework on how to implement "benevolent government".

According to Fusu's state, there are also the evaluations of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty and Liu Shi.

Ying Zheng completely understood that Confucianism could not be used.

When he first let Confucians enter the court, he had the idea of ​​using Confucian theories for his own use.

I have to say that although Confucius's ideas are not practical, they are really useful as a means of governance.

I like it very much!
  but!

Ying Zheng remembered the conversation between Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and the prince.

For people who are not mentally strong, this is simply a brainwashing tool!
  But for the rulers of a country, believing in that theory is a recipe for chaos.

Ying Zheng squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Bingji sitting on the phoenix.

Huh, vigorously promote Confucianism?

I'm afraid you too will perish on this Confucianism!
  He placed his fingers on the bamboo slips and closed his eyes in deep thought.

Confucianism cannot be used, Qin Fa is too overbearing, and Huang Lao is only suitable for a while.

This is because a single theory is too paranoid.

It may be very easy to use at first, but over time it can easily fall off the track.

Huh, the evil in people's hearts can actually be covered by one theory?

Not bound by the law, only guided by benevolence.

Do you really think that everyone is a saint and everyone wants to be a saint?
  Ying Zheng is not a fool.

As the last person to read through the history books of the Six Kingdoms,

He understood the merits and demerits of all doctrines.

Since a single path will not work...

that……

Ying Zheng opened his eyes and slowly unfolded the bamboo slips in his hand.

Then we can only take the rule of law as the main body and draw on the strengths of all schools!

Looking at the four Qin seal characters on the right side of the bamboo slip, Ying Zheng snorted coldly:
  "Huh, a word of gold is worth "Lü's Spring and Autumn Annals"

"Lu Buwei, Lu Buwei..."

"You really have good intentions!"

……

Big man,

"Riding a phoenix? Not bad either."

"But it's not as majestic as the male dragon riding!"

"And isn't this phoenix a little small?"

Liu Bang was lying on the steps of Weiyang Palace.

He crossed his legs, put his hands behind his head and looked at the sky to comment.

"Your Majesty, this Changpingcang is beneficial to the people."

"You can prepare in advance to prevent natural disasters in the future and cause you to be in a hurry."

Xiao He sat next to him and said seriously to Liu Bang, thinking about the achievements of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.

"Yeah, I'll leave these things to you. You don't need to ask me."

Liu Bang didn't even look at Xiao He, and answered perfunctorily while shaking his feet.

Looking at Liu Bang's bohemian look,
  Xiao He couldn't help but sigh.

Your Majesty is looking more and more like he was when he was young...

This bastard is getting annoying!
  ……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
  Looking at the phoenix flying around the Han Dynasty on the sky,

Liu Heng was not thinking about the vision or the auspiciousness.

What he was thinking about was the prosperity of "Gu Liang".

As an emperor who has studied Huang Lao deeply.

The De Dao Jing was almost read out by him!

And there is a saying that is the truth in the world, and he deeply believes it!

"The opposite is the movement of Tao."

Once something begins to prosper, the decay inherent in it also begins to grow.

And the more you promote something, the farther away you will be from it.

This is also the reason why he implements benevolent government but never mentions Confucian "benevolent government".

If benevolent government is mentioned too much, it will no longer be benevolent government.

It is a slogan and a saying.

And this kind of slogans and sayings are easier to be exploited by those who are interested.

This is what Liu Heng is worried about.

According to Tianmu and later descendants, Prince Liu Shi was not a wise king. Those who don’t understand can’t tell the difference between benevolence and benevolence.

"Oh, it's the foundation of disaster."

Listening to Liu Heng's endless sighs, Dou Yifang was confused.

……

The period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty
  "I am just a ray of light..."

……

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

Watching Liu Bingji rising on the phoenix.

Liu Che flicked his sleeves and sat back behind the desk, pouring a glass of wine.

"Is it amazing to sit on a phoenix?"

"I have a goddess delivering medicine! A row of goddesses!"

After muttering, he drank the wine in his glass!

"Pooh!"

Liu Che spit out the drink as soon as he took it into his mouth!
  "What bad wine! It's so sour! Is this wine or vinegar?"

Then he slammed the wine baron on the table!
  "Hmph! I won't drink anymore! I'll give it to you!"

After saying that, without waiting for the servants in the palace to thank him, he walked out of Wei Zifu's bedroom with his hands behind his back and walked away!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Follow your Majesty quickly! Grab your cloak. It's late at night and you're exposed. What should you do if you catch the wind and cold?"

Looking at Liu Che who was furious and didn't know where to run, Wei Zifu shook his head.

Then he ordered the maid next to him to pick up the big cloak and follow Liu Che.

After the maids carried the palace lanterns and chased Liu Che, Wei Zifu glanced at the wine on the table.

Then I poured half a cup and tasted it.

"This Pu Tao wine is indeed better than Qumi."

"Well, it does have a bit of a sour taste, but it adds more flavor. It's not as sour as His Majesty said, right?"

Wei Zifu, who tasted it carefully, was a little confused.

……

Datang,

In Tai Chi Hall,

"Phoenix..."

Li Shimin, dressed in a bright yellow round collar robe and wearing a bun on his head, put his hands behind his back and spoke in a leisurely manner.

"There is a majestic phoenix, resting in the morning sun. You swim in the purple mist in the morning, and drink the mysterious frost in the evening..."

"To celebrate the virtuous and virtuous people, it will spread through thousands of leaves."

Li Shimin transformed into Li Erfeng and read another piece of "Ode to Wei Feng" written by himself

"I often compare myself to a powerful phoenix, but unfortunately I have never seen what a real phoenix looks like. Today I have achieved what I wanted."

Looking at Li Shimin who was smiling and talking, all the ministers felt very strange.

Doesn't this look like you, Your Majesty?
  No more sour water?
  Don't you like Phoenix anymore?
  ……

Of course I like Phoenix! I'm almost dying of jealousy!
  Why is this broken sky so stained!
  Can you take stock quickly?
  I have no interest at all in those emperors who are inferior to me!

When will it be my turn to ride the phoenix?

I want to ride the phoenix!
  ……

Looking at His Majesty, who was twirling his beard and showing a graceful posture.

The ministers were secretly ashamed.

How can you speculate on His Majesty like this? !
  Your Majesty has a broad mind that encompasses heaven and earth!

How could one be secretly sad because of a phoenix? !

I really deserve it!
  Only Wei Zheng looked suspiciously at Li Shimin who kept smiling.

In years of trouble-finding and counter-fighting,

He now fully understands what kind of person his Majesty is.

Looking at the phoenix that I had always wanted to ride, I sat on it before anyone else could ride it.

Will he not care?
  Wouldn't he feel sad?
  impossible!
  With your majesty’s proud temperament, you can reach heaven on your own without any pressure!
  It's impossible to bear it!

but……

Wei Zheng carefully looked at Li Shimin's expression.

There was really no trace of concern.

Am I too worried?
  Li Erfeng looked leisurely, but he was smiling proudly in his heart!
  I knew you country bumpkin was staring at me!
  I won't give you a chance to take advantage of it!

Just figure it out for yourself!

Take a guess!
  Do you want to scold me again?
  impossible!
  ……

The period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty
  Before returning to Weiyang Palace, Liu Xun, who inherited Caifeng,
  He took the phoenix feather in his hand into his arms.

Then Fengniao rode Liu Xun and slowly landed in front of Weiyang Palace.
  Seeing Liu Xun standing firm, Phoenix nodded to him and then walked away.

"Ministers! Follow me to discuss matters!"

After watching Phoenix leave, Liu Xun turned around, looked at the ministers with a serious face and said.

All the ministers saw that Liu Xun's expression was very bad, and they all thought in their hearts.

After returning to Weiyang Palace and settling down in their respective places,

Liu Xun spoke slowly:
  "After I traveled around the Han Dynasty with Danfeng, I fully realized that our Han Dynasty is vast and has many people."

"But Lord Dan told me some things that will happen in the future, which makes me wonder whether the Han Dynasty will perish?"

Liu Xun's words shocked all the ministers and even Huo Guang.

Without waiting for the ministers to ask questions, Liu Xun came out with a tray.

"According to Tianmu's calculations, the year of my death was 48 BC, which was also the year that Xi'er ascended the throne."

"That year, a plague broke out in Dahan."

These two words immediately made the officials look shocked, but Liu Xun was still saying even more cruel things.

"At the same time, floods hit eleven counties in Kanto."

"After flooding, there was no harvest and famine occurred."

Liu Xun looked at the heavy-faced ministers and uttered a sentence that made them shudder.

"In the plains, people eat each other again."

Without waiting for the officials to react, Liu Xun continued.

"The next year, 47 BC."

"An earthquake occurred in Longxi, crushing countless people to death."

"In April of the same year, the famine in Guandong expanded. People began to eat each other again."

"In July of the same year, earthquakes continued."

"In 46 BC, there was a severe drought."

"In 44 BC, there was frost in March and another frost in September, and there was a great famine in the world."

"Starving to death everywhere!"

Liu Xun closed his eyes, and the officials were silent.

After a while, Liu Xun continued:

"41 BC, earthquake."

"In 39 BC, there was a flood in Yingchuan County, and countless people drowned."

What? Yingchuan County? The ministers were panicked. Yingchuan County was the most prosperous place in Han Dynasty!

"In the same year, the Yellow River burst its banks, and the Jianghuai River in the Central Plains...was littered with corpses."

"In 37 BC, a major earthquake occurred in the ancient Chu and Qi regions, resulting in numerous casualties."

"In 35 BC, there was an earthquake in Lantian, landslides and ground cracks, and the Ba River was blocked. The embankment near Anling collapsed, and the Jing River flowed back to the west, causing numerous deaths and injuries."

"In 33 BC, Shi'er passed away. After that, Lord Dan didn't say anything about it."

"My dear friends, please express your opinions."

After Liu Xun finished speaking, he sat upright and said nothing.

The officials were still confused.

This, this natural disaster... is too much!
  How can this be good?

What a good thing!

Even if His Majesty creates a world of resurgence, it will not be able to withstand such frequent natural disasters!
  There was deathly silence in Weiyang Palace.

……

The canopy continues to play,

[Based on the length of time and audience response, I will not go into detail about the Emperor who was not highly rated in the follow-up, and I will skip showing the six-dimensional diagram. 】

【Hereby inform. 】

 If you don’t check it, you don’t know.
    He really couldn’t bear all the blame for Emperor Han Yuan!
    His character can't be exactly the same as Liu Adou's, but they are very similar!
    They are all obedient, but too obedient!

  Moreover, during the sixteen years of Emperor Han Yuan's reign, there was one major natural disaster every year! How can a family be so rich!

  Moreover, at that time, the Chinese version had a new season. Frequent natural disasters led to the rise of powerful powers, and the Lingyi system existed in name only.

  In the court hall, due to the prosperity of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty in Guliang, the court was full of people.

  Emperor Han Yuan opened an unprecedented new version, the eunuch group.

  This resulted in all the prerequisites for the demise of the Western Han Dynasty being concentrated on Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty.

  He's really unlucky.
