Chapter 021: The Han Empire 1
In the first year of Qin II, a peasant uprising broke out at the end of Qin. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info Liu Bang also raised troops in his hometown of Pei County, calling himself Pei Gong, and later joined the anti-Qin rebel army of Xiang's uncle and nephew. Liu Bang led his army into Guanzhong, the prince of Qin surrendered, and the Qin dynasty fell.
After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu named Liu Bang as the king of Han, and later Xiang Yu and Liu Bang launched a four-year struggle between Chu and Han. Liu Bang, with the assistance of his subordinates Xiao He, Han Xin, Zhang Liang and others, defeated Xiang Yu in the Battle of Qixia, so he was officially proclaimed emperor, and the country name was still Han name, and the Han Dynasty began.
After Liu Bang ascended the throne, he adopted the suggestion of Shusun Tong, restored the etiquette law, set up the three dukes and Jiuqing, and appointed Xiao He as the prime minister.
Politically, it was to first divide the heroes Han Xin, Peng Yue, Yingbu and others as kings, and when the regime was stabilized, in order to prevent rebellion and consolidate the stability of imperial power, they canceled their princes on various charges, or degraded or killed, and renamed the Liu clan as kings, and made an oath that "those who are not the kings of the Liu family will be attacked by the whole world".
Due to years of turmoil, the national strength is weak, and when Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, attacked the Xiongnu, he was besieged by the Xiongnu in Baideng City, that is, the siege of Baideng, since then, the Han Dynasty adopted a policy of peace and proximity, and exchanged marriage and treasure for the peace of the empire, so there was no war in the early days of the Han Dynasty, and the people were able to recuperate.
After Liu Bang's death, Liu Ying succeeded to the throne, that is, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, but during this period, it was actually Empress Lu who called the system. Lv Houzun Liu Bang's will used Cao Shen as the prime minister, Xiao Gui Cao followed, followed the policy of Huang Lao politics of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and achieved the effect of "the government does not leave the house, and the world is silent", which is praised by historians, but at the same time, Lv Hou appointed relatives to suppress the heroes, causing the Zhulu Rebellion.
After the death of Empress LΓΌ, the rebellion of Zhulu was eradicated by the ministers led by Zhou Bo, and the ministers welcomed Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. Under the influence of Dou Yifang, the empress of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen and his son Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty continued to adopt the means of Huang Lao's inaction, and implemented the policy of lightly repaying the meager endowment and resting with the people. Although the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion occurred during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, it was pacified by Zhou Yafu and Luan Bu after only three months, and did not have a substantial impact on the Han Dynasty.
During this period, although the Xiongnu entered the Central Plains several times, they were in a relatively peaceful state for most of the time. The Han Dynasty continued to accumulate national strength and actively prepared for war through a series of measures, which was known as the reign of Wenjing, the first reign of China's great unified dynasty.
After the death of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, his son Liu Che ascended the throne as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. During his reign, Liu Che adopted a series of reform measures, forged ahead, expanded the territory, and laid the foundation for the strong and prosperous Han Dynasty.
Emperors are generally good beauties, and they can use their positions to get the beauties they want at will, and they want as much as they want. As the longest-reigning monarch of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is definitely worthy of the word "prodigy".
It's just that the emotional intelligence is high, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is still a philanthropic person, often loves the house and Wu, and fell in love with Wei Zifu, and then pampered her relatives Wei Qing and Huo Quai, and later became infatuated with Mrs. Li, so she gave her three brothers an official and a knight. This character led to the more sexual encounters of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the greater the harm to the country, because the favored relatives in history will become a cancer of the country, causing many unexpected consequences, just like the erotic encounters brought by Madame Li to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which brought a lot of disasters to the Han Empire.
Mrs. Li is not a simple woman, first of all, her appearance is not simple, and the idiom of alluring the country and the city was first used to describe her. She was born with beautiful temples and graceful faces, especially proficient in music and rhythm, good at singing and dancing, but unfortunately fell into the dust and became a Qinglou woman.
Secondly, her brother is not simple, her brother Li Yannian is also a musical genius, a bosom friend, good at singing and dancing, can write lyrics and choreograph, it seems that he was born specifically for art. Li Yannian was sentenced to corruption for breaking the law when he was young, and then sent to the palace to manage dogs. It just so happened that in addition to power and women, music, singing and dancing were the third favorite of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty.
The person who created music met someone who liked music, and Li Yannian's official fortune came, and soon he was named the assistant governor of Yuefu and served in the palace court. Later events proved that Li Yannian was not only a musical genius, but also an advertising genius, and what he packaged with advertising was his beautiful sister Li.
One day, he took advantage of the opportunity to sing to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and sang a famous song "Pretty Woman Song" composed by himself: "There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent; β
As it turned out, "The Song of the Pretty Woman" was an extremely successful advertisement, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was fascinated by it, and then asked, "Is there really such a beautiful woman?"
His sister, Princess Pingyang, whispered: "Yannian's sister is beautiful and superhuman. β
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hurriedly summoned Li into the palace, only to see that Li was light, looked like a fairy, his skin was as white as jade, and he was also good at singing and dancing like his brother. The beautiful words and phrases of "The Song of the Beauty" echoed in the ears of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the beauty in front of her was undoubtedly exactly the same as what was said in the song, and it was really the so-called genuine, so Li began her court life and was immediately favored.
However, since ancient times, God gave Mrs. Li a good look, but did not give her a good figure. She was already in a weak physique, coupled with postpartum disorders, and soon withered and became sick, becoming more and more emaciated. But Emperor Wu still thought about her and had no interest in other concubines, including Empress Wei.
Mrs. Li's wisdom is not simple at this time, and she wants to leave a good impression on Emperor Wu of Han from beginning to end, so every time Emperor Wu of Han comes to visit the patient, she covers herself in the quilt and does not let Emperor Wu look at her.
Emperor Wu didn't understand it very much, and insisted on seeing it, and Mrs. Li said blindfoldedly: "The concubine wants to entrust her son, King Changyi, and the brother of the concubine to Your Majesty." β
Emperor Wu persuaded: "Madame is so seriously ill that she can't get up, if you let me see you, wouldn't it be nice for you to entrust them to me in person." β
Mrs. Li covered her head and face with a brocade quilt, and said in the brocade quilt: "As a woman, her appearance is not repaired, her decoration is not neat, it is not enough to see her father, and now she is unkempt, and she really dare not meet Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty can understand." β
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty advised: "If my wife can see me, I will give my wife a thousand gold, and give my wife's brother an official and a knight." β
Li Fu always refused to show his face, and said: "Whether you can add an official to your brother, the power lies in Your Majesty, and the concubine doesn't care if she can see it." β
and turned his back to Emperor Wu and cried, Emperor Wu was helpless and left very unhappy. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty left, Madame Li's sisters complained that she should not do this, but Madame Li said: "Whoever pleases people with his appearance, and loves relaxation when his color is weak; if I meet the emperor with a haggard appearance, those good impressions of the past will be swept away, and can I expect him to take care of my son and brother with all his heart?"
After her death, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was heartbroken, and was buried with the gift of the queen, and personally supervised the painter to draw the image of Mrs. Li in his impression, and hung it in the Ganquan Palace.
The real trouble began, because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was obsessed with Mrs. Li, and he himself loved the house and Wu's stinky problem, so according to Mrs. Li's dying request, he used high-ranking officials to take care of her brothers and make them rich and noble, which was equivalent to paying off the love debt owed to Mrs. Li, so that the lost heart was balanced, so as to seek comfort, in order to alleviate the pain of longing.
So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened Chrysostom and appointed Li Yannian, the eldest brother of the Li family, as the lieutenant of Xielu, and the second brother Li Guangli as the general.
