Chapter 100: Liu Yuan's eloquence

Empress Jia succeeded in seizing power, but fortunately, with the concerted efforts of Zhang Hua and others, the political situation was stabilized. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoHowever, because the crown prince Sima Shu was not born to Empress Jia, Empress Jia intended to abolish the prince, and the prince was deposed by Empress Jia's rebellion. Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, adopted Sun Xiu's strategy to provoke Empress Jia to kill the crown prince, and then Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, united with Sima Jian, the king of Qi, to send troops to get rid of Empress Jia and her henchmen on the grounds of avenging the prince, and Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, ruled dictatorship.

Sima Lun, King of Zhao, established himself as emperor, Emperor Hui abdicated as Emperor Taishang, and Sima Yin, King of Qi, Sima Hao, King of Hejian, and Sima Ying, King of Chengdu, united with Sima Yi, King of Changshan, to crusade against Sima Lun, King of Zhao. Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, and his henchmen were removed, Emperor Hui was reinstated, and Sima Jian, the king of Qi, ruled the throne. Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, and Sima Hao, the king of Hejian, sent troops to attack Sima Yin, the king of Qi, and Sima Yi, the king of Changsha, and the palace generals responded in the capital Luoyang. Sima Yin, the king of Qi, and his henchmen were eliminated, and Sima Yi, the king of Changsha, took power and was controlled by his relative Yang Xuanzhi.

Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, and Sima Hao, the king of Hejian, led an army to attack Luoyang and crusade against Yang Xuanzhi and others, but were repeatedly defeated by Sima Yi, the king of Changsha. Luoyang City was short of food, and the palace generals forced the king of the East China Sea to relieve Sima Yi, the king of Changsha, and Kaicheng surrendered. Sima Ying, the king of Changsha, was killed by Zhang Fang, the general of Sima Hao, the king of Hejian, and Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, forced Emperor Hui to make him the emperor's younger brother, Sima Hao, the king of Hejian, was Dazai, and Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, was Shangshuling.

Chen Zhen, the general of the later court, gathered troops from all sides and coerced Emperor Hui to crusade against Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu. In the end, it failed, Emperor Hui of Jin was captured, Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, fled back to his fiefdom of the East China Sea, and Zhang Fang, the general of Sima Hao, the king of Hejian, occupied Luoyang.

Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, and Ma Teng, the assassin of the state of the Dongying Company, and Wang Jun, the assassin of Youzhou, united with the forces of Xianbei and Wuhuan to defeat Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu. Zhang Fang took Emperor Hui of Jin hostage and fled to Luoyang, and Sima Hao, the king of Hejian who owned Guanzhong and Luoyang, reconciled with the king of the East China Sea, and finally Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, was deposed, and Sima Hao, the king of Hejian, was renamed Sima Chi as the emperor's younger brother.

Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, raised troops again in Shandong, attacked Guanzhong in the west, and Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, attacked Chang'an. Sima Hao, the king of Hejian, and Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, were defeated, and Sima Mo occupied Chang'an. Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, welcomed Emperor Hui back to Luoyang, and then the king of Chengdu was killed, Emperor Hui of Jin died of illness, and Sima Chi, the king of Yuzhang, succeeded to the throne, which was the regent of Emperor Huai of Jin, and Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, and the rebellion of the eight kings ended here.

Because of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the ethnic minorities were extremely oppressed by the rulers of the Shi clan at that time, and the ethnic groups who moved inward took the opportunity to raise troops to seek independence and make a living, resulting in the Wuhu Rebellion.

At that time, there were Xiongnu, Qian, Xianbei, Di, Qiang, Lushuihu, Wuhuan, Ba people and Goguryeo people, during the rebellion of the Eight Kings, the local power continued to expand, the ethnic minorities rebelled one after another, Li Xiong of the Di nationality gradually became powerful in Yizhou, two years later called the emperor, the country name became, and Luo Shang confronted him in Ba County.

Sima Ying was besieged by Wang Jun and Sima Teng, and sent the Xiongnu leader Liu Yuan back to the state to send troops to support, and Liu Yuan took the opportunity to declare independence. Liu Yuan was proclaimed emperor, the state was called Han, and the southwestern part of Shanxi was divided, and due to the inability of the Jin Dynasty to quell the rebellion, coupled with serious natural disasters, which seriously shook the foundation of the rule, the Jin family faced a crisis of collapse after the Rebellion of the Eight Kings.

Liu Yuan was a member of the Xiongnu ethnic group, and his grandfather once helped the Eastern Han Dynasty to defeat the Yellow Turban Army, so he took the opportunity to settle in the Yellow River Valley. Liu Yuan grew up in Han China and studied Confucian culture at an early age, and his father, Liu Bao, invited Shangdang Cui You to be his teacher.

Under Cui You's strict education, he studied Chinese books such as the Book of Songs, the Book of Changes, the Book of Shang and the Art of War. While studying Confucian culture, Liu Yuan continued to practice the Huns' riding and archery fighting skills, and gradually grew into a civil and military all-rounder with a strong mind and a soft and rigid mind.

However, it was such an all-rounder, and Emperor Wu of Jin at that time never dared to entrust him with important tasks. Once Emperor Wu of Jin crusaded against Eastern Wu, he needed a commander, and many people recommended Liu Yuan, but Emperor Wu of Jin did not appoint him. Another time is that the Liangzhou area was captured by the Xianbei chieftain, and it was urgent to conquer the border, and someone recommended Liu Yuan again, although Emperor Wu of Jin was moved, but some people in the court objected, and Emperor Wu of Jin gave up this idea, so in the Western Jin Dynasty at that time, Liu Yuan has not had the opportunity to display his talents.

It is precisely because Liu Yuan has never had the opportunity to display his talents that his name is engraved in the emperor's book, and if he is entrusted with important tasks at any time, then Liu Yuan can only be a general of the Jin family. Liu Yuan endured pain again and again in the torture of history, anxiously waiting for the opportunity, and finally one day the time came, Liu Yuan returned to the Xiongnu in the process of conquering the rebellious army, established himself as the king, built the capital and left the stone, and opened the foundation of the Han State.

In order to win the hearts of the people, Liu Yuan regarded himself as the nephew of the Western Han Emperor, and the country was known as the Han. Liu Yuan married the daughter of the royal family to the Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty, and the ancestor was the queen of this daughter, so he called himself surnamed Liu. At this time, Liu Yuan used the banner of restoring the Han dynasty to pave the way for the direction of progress, and Liu Yuan moved the capital to the Golden Palace of Pingyang and officially ascended the throne as emperor.

Liu Yuan wanted to build a city wall after building the capital in the Golden Palace, and captured the nearby people to do hard labor, but the city wall could not be built for a long time. I had to post the Yellow List to recruit sage buildings, and the Yellow List was removed by a young man named Zhu'er, who was the adopted son of Mrs. Han of Hanjiazhuang in the south of the Golden Palace. Speaking of Qi'er, his life experience is quite legendary, he is a dragon egg that Mrs. Han picked up when she was chopping wild vegetables, took it home and placed it on the kang horn to warm, and when the egg shell broke, a baby boy crawled out of it. When Liu Yuan knew that the unveiler was a teenager, he was very unsure, and ordered Qi'er to set up a military order, and if he didn't cover it in seven days, he would be beheaded.

There was no movement for five days in a row, and the villagers were secretly worried about the Ling'er, and on the night of the sixth day, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and suddenly the sky was dark, and the sand and stones were flying, and when the wind stopped, a city wall surrounded the Golden Temple.

Liu Yuan was overjoyed and came to see it for himself, but saw that the city wall was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and the building was upside down. He was about to ask for the guilt, but he saw that the wind and sand rose again, and the city wall was turned upside down in the wind and became better.

Liu Yuan was furious, thinking that Qi'er was a monster and intended to tease him. However, Qi'er had already escaped by taking advantage of the wind and sand, and Liu Yuan hurriedly sent troops to capture it. Qi'er fled to the west at the foot of Luliang Mountain, there was no way in front of him, and there were officers and soldiers chasing after him, and he fell to the ground and turned into a snake, which found a crack in the stone and got in. When the pursuers arrived, they saw only a snake tail, and cut it with a sword, and the blood flowed out, gushing incessantly, and it became a clear spring.

The common people think that the dragon prince went down to earth to relieve the people's disasters and seek benefits for the people. Therefore, the ancestral temple is built not far from the spring to worship, and the name is called the Dragon Temple.

Liu Yuan not only has a good eye to select the capital of the Golden Palace, but also a good hand in governing the country. Emperor Guangwen Liu Yuan wore cloth clothes, and there were no double-layer cushions in the place where he lived, and the queen's concubines did not wear silk and satin, and the horses pulling the carts were not fed to Su Yuan, which was because he cherished the people. Liu Yuan not only has a civil and military strategy, grasps historical opportunities, but is also a person with good quality.

However, such a majestic city, which only survived for more than ten spring and autumn periods, was soon razed to the ground and turned into ruins. What is the mystery between the rise and the fall?

After Liu Yuan's death, he was succeeded by the crown prince Liu He, Liu He listened to the traitorous ministers and wanted to get rid of Liu Cong, who had military power in his hands, but Emperor Liu He was killed by Liu Cong, and in the bloody storm, Liu Cong ascended the throne. Liu Cong is Liu Yuan's fourth son, Liu Cong has a pioneering initiative in history, that is, the three queens of the upper queen, the left queen, and the right queen were established at once, and Liu Cong's mediocrity can be seen.

After Liu Cong's death, Liu Cang succeeded to the throne, Jin Zhun tried to usurp the throne, killed Liu Cang, not to mention, but also killed all the men and women of the Liu family, regardless of age and young, in Dongshi, bleeding like a river, miserable. Later, Liu Yao ascended the throne and sent troops with Shi Le to attack Jin Zhun, which was another bloody war. Jin Zhun was killed by his own left and right cavalry generals, and after Shi Le attacked the city, he actually burned down Liu Yuan's Jinluan Treasure Palace.

I can't imagine how many days and nights that fire burned? How many miles did the flame spread? How did Liu Yuan's Jinluan Treasure Hall struggle and cry in the fire, and finally turned into ashes in agony? The waves swept away the eternal romantic figures, and all he saw in front of him was this bend of clear Jindian water, and the soup flowed out without looking back.

In the ancient Chinese court, the emperor had 3,000 beauties in the harem, and among the many wives and concubines, the emperor's wife was called the empress. Before the Zhou Dynasty, the wives of the Son of Heaven were called concubines, and at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, they were called Hou. After Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he changed the Son of Heaven to the emperor, and established a concubine system in which the emperor's wife was the empress.

During the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, Liu Cong, Emperor Zhaowu of the Han Dynasty, once canonized eleven empresses, breaking the record of an emperor canonized as an empress in a minority dynasty in one fell swoop. Liu Cong, the word Xuanming, is the fourth son of Liu Yuan, smart and studious since childhood, a high degree of sinicization, at the age of fourteen has been through the study of scripture and history, the study of a hundred schools, and is particularly proficient in the art of war of Sun and Wu. He is also good at calligraphy, poetry, and the two bodies of the grass and grass, with more than 100 poems and more than 50 songs. Liu Cong is strong in martial arts, at the age of fifteen began to learn fencing, riding and archery, his strength is outstanding, he bends the bow of 300 catties, and he is good at both civil and military affairs, and he is indeed a rare talent at that time.

Therefore, Wang Hun, a famous man in Taiyuan, once said to Liu Yuan, "It is unpredictable to find here." ”

But Liu Cong was neither a descendant of the Western Han Dynasty nor a continuation of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but a branch of the northern Xiongnu aristocracy. At that time, Liu Yuan, a Xiongnu nobleman in the north, raised troops in the Fenhe River Valley, and he did not play the banner of the Han Dynasty of the Liu family like Liu Bei of the Three Kingdoms, but established himself as the emperor and was known as the Han State. This is also known in history, the Han State, one of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms between the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Liu Cong canonized four queens in the early stage, Empress Huyan, Empress Wuxiao Zhang Huiguang, Empress Wuxuan Liu E, and Empress Wude Liu Ying. And Liu Cong canonized seven queens in the later period, Liu Cong is a beautiful woman, when the Fan family was the queen, in addition to the three famous queens, there were seven people who wore the queen's seal. Later, Liu Cong added the middle queen, and the four famous queens who were established at the end of the period all lived until after Liu Cong's death.

After Liu Cong ascended the throne, during his reign in power, he once created a temporary prosperity of the Han Kingdom. Liu Cong killed his brother and the crown prince Liu He seized the throne, and the following year Liu Cong sent the general Hu Yanyan to break through Luoyang, captured Emperor Sima Chi of Jin Huai, and sent Liu Yao to finally capture Chang'an, capturing Emperor Jin Chu, and the Western Jin Dynasty perished.
