In the nineteenth year of Jianwu, Liu Xiu asked Zhong Xing, a native of Runan, to teach the crown prince and the princes of the clan to read the "Spring and Autumn Period", and named Zhong Xing as the Marquis of Guannei. The pen is fun and the pavilion is www.biquge.info and Zhong Xing resigned because he had no credit.

Liu Xiu said: "Isn't it a great credit for you to teach the prince and the prince and the marquis?" ”

Zhong Xing said: "The minister is a student of Shaofu Ding Gong. ”

Liu Xiu then named Ding Gong as the Marquis of Guannei. Zhong Xing resolutely refused and did not accept it.

On September 21, Liu Xiu took Liu Zhuang to Nanyang. He also went to Nanton County, Runan County, set up a grand banquet, rewarded the officials and people, and ordered Nanton County to be exempted from land rent for one year. The fathers and elders came forward to kowtow for this reason, and said, "Your Majesty has lived here for a long time, and Your Majesty knows the temple house, and every time you come, you will be more generous, and I wish to give it ten years." ”

Liu Xiu said: "The position of the emperor is the great weapon of the world, and I am often afraid that I will not be able to do it. ”

But everyone said, "Your Majesty is just a pity, why do you need to say such humble words?" ”

Liu Xiu laughed at this, so he added another year. Then, Liu Xiu and Liu Zhuang continued to Huaiyang County, Liang County, and Peiguo.

At this time, the Southwest Yidong Silkworm Tribe rebelled and killed local officials.

Liu Xiu immediately issued an edict and ordered the Wuwei general Liu Shang to crusade.

The army passed through Yuejun, and Ren Gui, the king of Qionggu, was afraid that after Liu Shang pacified the southern border, the decrees and laws of the imperial court would be implemented, and he could no longer do whatever he wanted, so he gathered the army, built a camp, and brewed a large amount of poisonous wine, wanting to comfort the army with poisonous wine first, and then attack and attack.

When Liu Shang learned of his conspiracy, he immediately divided his troops to attack Qiongdu first, and then attacked Ren Gui and killed him.

In the spring of the twentieth year of Jianwu (44 AD), on the tenth day of the second month, Liu Xiu returned to the Luoyang Imperial Palace.

In the summer, on the third day of the fourth month, Da Situ Dai She, accused of framing the former Taicang Ling Xi She, was arrested and imprisoned, and executed.

Liu Xiu believed that the positions of the three princes were connected, and issued a policy to remove the chief secretary Dou Rong from his position. Soon after, Wu Han, the Marquis of Guangping, became seriously ill, and Liu Xiu visited him in person and asked him if he had anything to say.

Wu Han replied: "The minister is ignorant and ignorant, and I only hope that Your Majesty will be careful not to pardon criminals easily." ”

On the fourth day of the fifth month, Wu Han died. Liu Xiu issued an edict and ordered a grand burial, and the ceremony was like the old practice of burying the general Huo Guang.

Regarding the candidate of King Liu Yi's concubine, Yin Lihua originally preferred Wu Han's eldest son, Wu Cheng, but now that she heard the news of Wu Han's death, she couldn't help but feel regretful. Yin Lihua asked Liu Zhuang as if inadvertently: "Zhuang'er, do you know why your father and emperor value this loyal marquis so much?" ”

Liu Zhuang shook his head honestly, he felt that there were people who were more talented than Wu Han, but he didn't understand why Liu Xiu valued Wu Han. In addition to the loyal followers of the year, Liu Zhuang really couldn't think of more.

Yin Lihua said to Liu Zhuang: "Wu Han has a strong personality. Whenever he goes out with your father, as long as your father is not settled, he has always stood by carefully. Moreover, when the generals saw that the battle situation was unfavorable, most of them panicked and lost their normality, but Wu Han was calm, and at the same time stepped up the preparation of weapons to boost the morale of the officers and soldiers. Your father sometimes sent people to see what Wu Han was doing, and the report was that he was preparing equipment for the offensive battle. Every time Wu Han went on an expedition, he received orders in the morning and embarked on the expedition in the evening, never having time to prepare for the journey. Your father sighed and said, 'Wu Hanbi is so much in harmony with him, and his majesty makes people feel like an enemy nation.' Even at the court he was cautious in his manners and attitudes. I remember that once Wu Han led the army to go on an expedition, and his wife and children bought land and property in the rear. When Wu Han returned, he deeply rebuked his wife, saying: 'The army is outside, and the supply of officers and soldiers is insufficient, why do you buy a large number of fields and houses!' Then they were all divided between the brothers and their uncles. ”

After Liu Zhuang heard this, he suddenly realized, and he sighed: "This is the case for the ministers." Although he was not very interested in his father's imperial weapon Wu Han, but now that he heard it, he felt that he seemed to have realized something, which was also one of the reasons why he often came to Changqiu Palace to tell Yin Lihua about the previous dynasty. In addition, he wants Yin Lihua to know the news of his father from time to time, and hopes that Yin Lihua will suddenly be able to let go of the past one day and reconcile with Liu Xiu, which is also a selfishness between him and the emperor's brother and sister.

In June, Liu Xiu was afflicted by a headache and dizziness and became very ill. So, he appointed Yin Xing as a servant, and entrusted him with the affairs of his death in the Yuntai Wide Room.

Liu Xiu was seriously ill, Liu Zhuang knew about it, and he wanted to tell his mother immediately, but Liu Xiu told him not to tell Yin Lihua. For Yin Lihua, who was meticulously observed, Liu Zhuang was not sure that he could keep the secret, so he had to not see Yin Lihua.

It is also common to not see Liu Zhuang for many days, but this time Yin Lihua's heart is clearly deeply uneasy, and she always feels that something big is not good. So, she asked Qingyu to hurry up and inquire to see if something had happened to Liu Zhuang, and told Liu Zhuang that he was safe and sound. Yin Lihua asked Qingyu to inquire about the Yin family again, and the Yin family was fine. In this way, Yin Lihua couldn't help but think of Liu Xiu, and when she was hesitating whether to send someone to inquire or take a look by herself, her brother Yin Xing asked to see her.

Yin Xing didn't say anything when he saw Yin Lihua, he glanced at Yin Lihua left and right.

Yin Lihua immediately understood and ordered the left and right to retreat.

"Your Majesty is seriously ill." Yin Xing saw that there was no one else, and immediately said bluntly.

When Yin Lihua heard this, she was stunned for a moment, came back to her senses, and said lightly: "Your Majesty has always been healthy, how can you be seriously ill?" Besides, if you are seriously ill and have a doctor, what is the use of the second brother telling me? ”

Yin Xing thought that Yin Lihua would panic, worry, and be anxious when he heard it, but he didn't expect to see her so calm, and hearing these almost ruthless words, Yin Xing had an illusion that this was not the Yin Lihua he knew. For Yin Lihua and Liu Xiu's mustard, as a brother, he actually knows a little bit about it, and he also has a lot of criticism about Liu Xiu's actions in the past few years, although he thinks that Liu Xiu has failed his sister, but it is not so bad, and as a king, he feels that Liu Xiu is a Ming Jun, so in addition to supporting Yin Lihua and gaining fame for himself over the years, he is willing to do things for Liu Xiu. But just the day before yesterday, he knew Liu Xiu's hardships. For this reason, he also forgave Liu Xiu for his inaction back then. But even if she doesn't know the inside story, Yin Xing doesn't think that Yin Lihua should be so indifferent, after all, Liu Xiu has really loved her all these years. He came today to tell Yin Lihua that Liu Xiu was seriously ill and asked Yin Lihua to take a look, maybe this would be the last time, but now in this situation, Yin Xing is hesitating whether he should tell Yin Lihua the truth. After hesitating, Yin Xing still said what was in his heart.

"Actually, Your Majesty, it's not easy. In the past, the late King Zhending borrowed 100,000 troops to help His Majesty, in addition to marrying the Empress Dowager Sun Yat-sen as his wife, he also asked His Majesty to promise that no matter what happens in the future, he will protect the Empress Dowager Zhongshan and Guo's glory, and must not abandon them, otherwise 100,000 soldiers and horses will turn against each other. His Majesty had no choice but to agree. Your Majesty has always known that the late King Zhending has a heart of disobedience, and wants to deal with it quickly, but the world is undecided, and if there is another civil strife, it will be very disadvantageous, and Your Majesty has to pay close attention to it first. In the second year of Jianwu, he learned that King Zhending intended to commit rebellion, and His Majesty took the opportunity to eradicate him. This person was once in love with the Empress Dowager of Zhongshan, if it were not for his father's arbitrariness, he and the Empress Dowager of Zhongshan might be able to become a good match, there was an extraordinary friendship, and he was ashamed of the Empress Dowager of Zhongshan, he was more protective of the Empress Dowager of Zhongshan than his father, and he threatened His Majesty with the power of Zhending, if he was negative to the Empress Dowager of Zhongshan, he would chase the Central Plains, even if the Empress Dowager of Zhongshan was at fault, Liu Xiu was not allowed to dispose of it arbitrarily, Otherwise, you will bear the consequences. In order to take care of the overall situation, His Majesty had to endure the humiliation and promise King Zhending, so that the Empress Dowager Zhongshan repeatedly hurt you, and His Majesty could not dispose of the Empress Dowager Zhongshan. But secretly he has sent many men to protect you, otherwise you will be hurt far more than you have suffered. It's not that His Majesty doesn't want to do something, but as a last resort, he has been protecting you, protecting you where you can't see, and he has never let you know. Your Majesty manages every day, and the affairs of the court are enough to make him tired, but he still has to be distracted to protect you, and secretly think about how to disintegrate the power of King Zhending, and then return justice to you, and return to you everything that belongs to you. Your Majesty actually has an easy time every day. That day, Liu Xiu talked to him a lot, and it was probably the most in history, and he didn't expect to have such an insider. It's okay if you don't know, how can you blame if you know? At that moment, Yin Xing felt that even he couldn't compare to Liu Xiu's heart for Yin Lihua, even Liu Xiu's heart had been shaken.
