Chapter One Hundred and Eight
In the spring of the thirteenth year of Jianwu (37 AD), Liu Xiu took advantage of the day of Mu Xiu to go out hunting with Yin Lihua's mother and son, and returned at night in the car, to the east gate, and the Hou of the upper east gate was a native of Runan, Zhiyun refused to open the door. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Liu Xiu ordered Wan Fuhai to meet Zhi Yun from the crack in the door, and Zhi Yun said: "The fire is far away, and I can't see clearly." He rejected it again.
Liu Xiu was quite unhappy at the time and wanted to deal with Zhi Yun on the spot, but Yin Lihua persuaded: "The Hou of Shangdongmen is also dutiful, not deliberate." Gyeonggi is a major place, which should have been strictly guarded against and extremely cautious, if a person with ill intentions can easily enter the city and do misdeeds at the risk of the Son of Heaven, then the Marquis of Shangdongmen will be guilty and deserve death. ”
Liu Xiu thought that this was the reason, so he had to return and enter the city through the East Central Gate. However, as soon as the Marquis of Dongzhongmen heard that it was Liu Xiu and saw Wan Fuhai again, he opened the city gate without saying a word and welcomed him in.
On the second day, Zhi Yun wrote a letter to persuade him: "King Xiwen did not dare to travel to the field, and offered the only righteous offerings of all the people. And His Majesty hunts in the mountains and forests, night and day, which is like the temple of Shejizong! ”
After the chapter was presented, Liu Xiu rewarded Zhi Yun with 100 pieces of cloth and demoted the Dongzhong Gate to be the county lieutenant.
In February, Zhu Youzuo said: "The ancients were entitled, not direct clansmen, and did not add princes. ”
On the 27th, Liu Xiu issued an edict, Liu Xing, the king of Changsha, Liu De, the king of Zhending, Liu Shao, the king of Hejian, and Liu Mao, the king of Zhongshan, all demoted to marquis. Ding Si (28th), renamed Liu Liang, King of Zhao, as Duke of Zhao, Liu Zhang, King of Taiyuan, as Duke of Qi, and Liu Xing, King of Lu, as Duke of Lu. At this time, the Liu royal family and the original feudal state were revoked and the title was inherited by later generations, a total of 137 people. Zhang Chun, Marquis of Fuping, is the fourth grandson of Zhang Anshi, who experienced the era of Wang Mang, and was able to preserve his title because of his generosity, prudence and law-abiding. In the early years of the establishment of the martial arts, Zhang Chun came to join first, and he was still the marquis. Subsequently, Kong An, the Duke of Shaojia, was the Duke of Song, and the Duke of Chengxiu was often the Duke of Wei.
On March 12, Liu Xiu appointed Han Xin, the Taishou of Peijun, as the chief situ. On the 17th, Ma Cheng, who acted as the chief secretary, served as General Yang Wu again.
At this time, Wu Han returned from Shudi and arrived in Wancheng. Liu Xiu issued an edict allowing him to go to his hometown to worship the ancestral tomb and give him 20,000 grains. In the summer, in April, Wu Han returned to Luoyang.
Since the third year of Emperor Wang Mang (AD 22) October, Liu Yan and Liu Xiu raised troops to Lingling, and Xinshi and Pinglin joined the division, from then on, until April of the thirteenth year of Jianwu (AD 37), the great Sima Wu Han returned from Shu County, before and after more than ten years, Liu Xiurong was handsome, long in the soldiers, tired of martial arts, and knew that the war was chaotic and famine, the world was exhausted, and the desire to rest with the people's livelihood. So, the feast of soldiers, Ban Ce Shuxun. 365 meritorious heroes were entitled, and 45 relatives were entitled. Strike the officers of the left and right generals and collect the seal of the general Geng Yi. Twenty-two-year-old Geng Yi was worshiped as the general of Jianwei at the beginning of Liu Xiu's accession to the throne, and in the past 10 years, he has forty-six Pingjun and three hundred sieges, and has never suffered a setback. Dismissed Geng Yi from the post of general, as a liege, he was invited by the court, Longshu Xiping, in addition to the use of troops in Jiaozhi, Nanban and other places, unless there was an emergency police, Liu Xiu did not talk about military affairs, Liu Xiuyan's ambition to Wu Siwen can be seen from this.
At this time, the crown prince Liu Qiang, who was thirteen years old, was often on the emperor's side, and sometimes asked about the strategy of attack, Liu Xiu said: "In the past, the avant-garde Linggong asked about the battle formation, and Confucius did not answer correctly, and this matter is not suitable for you to ask." Deng Yu and Jia Fu knew that Liu Xiu decided to lay down his arms and rule with etiquette and music, and did not want the heroes to have heavy troops in Luoyang, so they handed over their military power and devoted themselves to studying Confucian classics. Liu Xiu also considered the future whereabouts of the heroes, and wanted to protect their titles and fiefs from making mistakes because of their positions, so he let them leave the court as marquis and return to their own mansions, and then they were given special titles and regularly attended court meetings.
Deng Yu has a good personality and now has thirteen sons, each of whom is asked to learn a skill. His rigor in governing the family and educating his children and grandchildren can serve as an example for future generations to follow. The expenses of the family are taken from the income of the fiefdom and do not profit from other industries.
Jia Fu is resolute and upright, and has a big festival. After returning to the house, close the door to self-cultivation. Zhu Hu and others recommended Jia Fu, believing that he was suitable to be the prime minister, while Liu Xiuzheng instructed the three dukes to rectify the official system, so they did not appoint meritorious heroes. At this time, among the marquis, only the Marquis Deng Yu of Gaomi, the Marquis of Gushi, Li Tong, the Marquis of Jiaodong, and the Marquis Jia Fu of Jiaodong discussed national affairs together, and their grace was particularly deep.
Although Liu Xiu controls the heroes, he can often defend and tolerate them and forgive them for their small mistakes. Paying tribute and delicacies from afar must be rewarded to all the princes first, and the eunuchs have no superfluity, so all the meritorious men keep their titles and property, and they are not killed or dismissed. Compared with those flying birds, the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook; The enemy country is destroyed, and the ministers forget; Those who cover the world are not rewarded, and those who are famous are defeated, Liu Xiu is like this, which shows that he is open-minded and benevolent.
Yizhou sent the blind musicians of Gongsun Shu, the musical instruments used in the sacrifice, the car made of five feathers into a canopy, and various vehicles dedicated to the emperor and concubine to Luoyang, so that the utensils used by the emperor's ritual began to be complete. Because the war has subsided, there are few things in the world, and the exchange of various official documents and the dispatch of errand soldiers, Liu Xiu strives to be simple and subordinate, only one-tenth of the past.
Liu Xiu's actions have won Yin Lihua's heart, so that she appreciates and is proud at the same time, she thinks, God is fair, although she did not give her a wishful husband, but let her marry Liu Xiu such a generation of Ming Jun, deeply favored by him, she misses it. However, because of this, Yin Lihua will naturally consider things from Liu Xiu's point of view, for the back position, she has been planning all these years, Guo Shengtong's harm to her is no longer enough for her to be merciful, but Liu Xiu has no love for Guo Shengtong, but he is also affectionate, after all, Guo Shengtong and Liu Xiu have been together for more than ten years, and there are several princes and princesses between the two as a bond, if she makes a move, Liu Xiu will inevitably look at these feelings to protect Guo Shengtong, and Guo Shengtong has been keeping to himself all these years. Liu Xiu was a little more lenient with her, so that she couldn't bear to fulfill her promise. Sometimes, Yin Lihua admires Liu Xiu's affection, but she hates him very much, because Liu Xiu is affectionate, she will have her current favorite, but it is precisely because of his affection that she is now hesitant and difficult to break the dilemma.
Now, Yin Lihua has made a move on Guo Shengtong, and she has achieved what she wants, and if she loses, she will lose everything, but she has no choice, because she knows very well that Guo Shengtong's forbearance at this time will be the cruelty and ruthlessness of the day when she raises her eyebrows, but she hasn't figured out how to do it, and what she never expected is that her delay made her regret it for the rest of her life.
