Chapter 162

In the twenty-first year of Jianwu (45 AD), Liu Zhuang accepted two princes Liangdi, one was Jia Liangdi, the daughter of Ma Jiang (formerly known as Ma Fuling), the wife of Jia Wuzhong, the fifth son of Jia Fu, Marquis of Jiaodong, and the other was Yin Liangdi from the Yin family. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info At the beginning, Liu Zhuang did not favor the two Liangdi, but after all, Liu Zhuang did not have much contact with women, Jia Liangdi came from a big family with many children, and she may not have much knowledge, but there were many means, which finally made Liu Zhuang gradually favor her. The people in the palace had their own thoughts about this, but no one said anything, except for King Liu Yi, who married into the Liang Mansion, who had some objections to this.

Liu Yiwang originally had no objection to Liu Zhuang Na Jia Liangdi, but when she met Jia Liangdi in the palace one day, she first happened to see her hateful face towards the palace people arrogantly, and then saw Jia Liangdi's hypocritical face, especially the face that looked very similar to Ma Jiang, which uncovered the scars left by Liu Yiwang's heart, making her feel that the character of the children taught by the little woman like Ma Jiang at a young age who knew how to see the wind and steer, and tended to be inflammatory, must not be much better, and she would dislike Jia Liangdi. Now that I heard that Jia Liangdi made Liu Zhuang favor her, she was even more sure of her judgment on Jia Liangdi. So, she deliberately went into the palace to find Liu Zhuang and talked to Liu Zhuang about a childhood incident, and then told Liu Zhuang everything she had seen.

Liu Zhuang knows that Liu Yiwang is jealous and hateful, and his grievances are clear, not the kind of person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, and he disdains to slander others, Liu Yiwang is very similar to Liu Huang, Liu Zhuang listened to Liu Yiwang's words, and began to snub Jia Liangdi, favoring Yin Liangdi, who has always been calm and submissive, and empathetic.

Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua still didn't say anything about Liu Zhuang's change, but Yin Lihua specially summoned Yin Liangdi to Changqiu Palace, and told Yin Liangdi to always remember her duty, don't have bad intentions and delusions, otherwise she will never spare her. Why did Yin Lihua tell Yin Liangdi so much? It turned out that King Liu Yi was able to see Jia Liangdi's true face because of Yin Liangdi's credit, and Yin Liangdi's city government was not inferior to Jia Liangdi. As the lord of the harem, Yin Lihua knows both Jia Liangdi and Yin Liangdi well, but she can not expose Jia Liangdi, but she can't let Yin Liangdi go, after all, Yin Liangdi is from the Yin clan, and Yin Lihua is not good at standing by.

After Yin Liangdi received Yin Lihua's private advice, she didn't dare to make another incident and settled down.

Although the harem began to become calm, the chaos in the world did not end.

In the spring of the twenty-first year of Jianwu, Liu Shang entered the army and fought with Dong Silkworm and others, and won successive battles, Liu Shang pursued to Buwei County and killed Dong Silkworm. The southwestern Yi people were all pacified.

At this time, the armies of Wuhuan and Xiongnu and Xianbei united to invade. The east of Daijun was particularly badly injured by the Wuhuan tribe. The Wuhuan tribe lived close to the border fortress, and they could reach the city in the evening from their tents in the morning, and the people of the five border counties were infringed upon. As a result, the county was destroyed, the people went into exile, the border was depressed, and there was no one to live.

In the autumn, in August, Liu Xiu sent horse aid and confidants to build castles and fortresses respectively, and gradually restored the county, and in some places set up false guards, county orders, and county magistrates to recruit people to return to their hometowns. Among the Wuhuan tribes, they are the most powerful and wealthy in the Saiwai Baishan area of Shanggu County. Ma Yuan led 3,000 cavalry to attack, unable to win, and returned.

Immediately afterwards, more than 10,000 cavalry of the Xianbei tribe invaded Liaodong County. Liaodong Taishou led thousands of people to meet the attack. The sacrificial relatives themselves wore armor and rushed into battle to kill. The Xianbei cavalry fled in a big way, and more than half of them fell into the water and died. In their urgency, the Xianbei people all abandoned their weapons and fled for their lives naked. From then on, the Xianbei people felt frightened, afraid of sacrifices, and did not dare to watch the side plug anymore.

In winter, the Xiongnu invaded Shanggu and Zhongshan. At the same time, King Xian of Shache gradually became arrogant and arrogant, wanting to annex the Western Regions, constantly attacking neighboring countries, demanding heavy taxes, and the countries of the Western Regions were worried and afraid. So the eighteen kingdoms of Cheshiqian, Shanshan, and Yanqi sent their princes to Luoyang as hostages and dedicate treasures. When Jin saw Emperor Liu Xiu, they all wept and kowtowed, hoping that the Han Dynasty would send the Western Regions to protect it again. Liu Xiu, because the Central Plains had just been settled and the northern aliens had not yet submitted, asked all the hostages from all countries to return and reward them with rich gifts. The countries of the Western Regions heard that the Han Dynasty refused to send the capital protector, and let all the hostages return, they were very sad and afraid, so they sent an official document to Pei Zun, the Taishou of Dunhuang: "I wish to keep the waiter to show Shache, and the waiter will see and stay, and the guard will be found, hoping to rest his soldiers." Pei Zun reported the situation, and Liu Xiu agreed.

In the summer of the twenty-second year of Jianwu (46 A.D.), there was a solar eclipse on the 30th day of May. In autumn, an earthquake occurred in September (doubtful). In winter, on the 19th of October, he was dismissed from the post of Grand Sikong Zhufu. On the 20th of the year, he appointed Guanglu Xun Dulin as the chief secretary.

Du Lin was appointed as the chief secretary, and the position of Guangluxun was vacant, just when Liu Xiu was considering the candidate, Yin Lihua seemed to inadvertently mention to Liu Xiu some things about Chen Liuren Liu Kun, according to her, she also heard the ladies at the palace banquet some time ago.

It is said that at first, Liu Kun, a native of Chen, was ordered by Jiangling, and a fire broke out in the county, Liu Kun kowtowed to the fire, and the fire was extinguished immediately. Later, Liu Kun became the Hongnong Taishou, and the tigers in the county crossed the Yellow River with the tiger cubs on their backs.

Liu Xiu was surprised when he heard this, and went back to let people listen in private, and after learning that this was indeed the case, he immediately recruited Liu Kun to replace Du Lin as Guangluxun. Liu Xiu asked Liu Kun: "In Jiangling in the front, the fire was extinguished against the wind, and the Hongnong was guarded in the back, and the river was crossed in Hubei. ”

Liu Kun said: "Accidental ear." ”

The attendants on the left and right couldn't help but laugh.

Liu Xiu sighed and said, "This is the matter of the elderly! Then he ordered that the incident be recorded in the history books.

This year, there was a locust plague in Qingzhou.

Xiongnu Shan Yuyu died. His son, Zuoxian King Wudahou, succeeded to the throne and died soon after. Wu Dahou's younger brother, Zuoxian Wang Punu, succeeded to the throne. Drought and locust plagues have occurred in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Xiongnu year after year, thousands of miles of famine have been lifeless, and most of the people and livestock have died due to hunger and plague epidemics. The Xiongnu were afraid that the Eastern Han court would take advantage of its exhaustion to attack, so they sent envoys to Yuyang to ask for peace. Liu Xiu sent Zhonglang to return Li Mao.

Taking advantage of the decline of the Xiongnu Khanate, the Wuhuan tribe launched an attack and defeated the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu migrated thousands of miles north, and the area south of the desert became an open space. Liu Xiu issued an edict to abolish the pavilions and border guards of the counties along the border. He also used money and silk silk to recruit the Wuhuan tribe. At this point, the neighboring alien races were temporarily settled. (To be continued.) )
