Seeing Tian Lan retreat from the Xuanfu Hall with a thousand thanks, and was guided by Wang Zhong to the Shaofu subordinate government in the palace in a low-key manner, after visiting Uncle Tian, the head of the Shaofu subordinate office, Liu Hong walked out of the Xuanshu alone, accompanied by several palace attendants, and came to a pavilion.

is different from what was shown in later film and television dramas, in the feudal era, at least in the palace of the early Han Dynasty, there was basically no place to reveal IQ like the 'Imperial Garden'.

As Liu Hong saw at this time, as far as the eye could see, there was only a slightly dilapidated pavilion, standing in a 'desert' with a radius of more than 100 meters.

Not to mention the trees and bushes, even the flowers and plants are pitiful.

The pavilion is 100 meters around, except for a few stone and brick paths that intersect in the pavilion, all of which are made of mud and compacted land.

The main reason for the use of such an unornamental design in the palace is to prevent problems before they occur.

——Flowers and trees, rockery pools, but the best place to hide!

Now Hanli has only been more than 20 years, and the wind of the Warring States is still strong among the people; If Liu Hong made up his mind to investigate, he would definitely find that in almost every noble mansion, there were so many Jing Kezhi's 'queens' who wrote as doormen and sat alone on the dead.

Although since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Guanzhong has been operated and maintained by the old Liu family as the last basic plate, and it is basically unlikely that the incident of 'Guanzhong people assassinating the holy driver' will occur, but the personal safety of the ruler, no matter in any era, needs to be guaranteed first.

Putting aside everything else, just from some time ago, the Xiongnu mission took only a little more than a month, and then informed Shan Yuting, who was far away in the north of the curtain at this time, and received Maodun's diplomatic instructions, Liu Hong dared to conclude: I am afraid that even the capital Chang'an, there is no shortage of Hun spies in clothes and clean hair!

Coming to the pavilion, looking at the patent leather that had long been withered on the old pillar, Liu Hong shook his head secretly, and waited for the waiter next to him to lay down a feast in the pavilion and put a low table, Liu Hongfang stepped forward and sat down.

If it is said that in the early Han Dynasty, Emperor Gao Liu Bang belonged to the temperament of the nouveau riche, and the second emperor Wenjing was the image of the iron rooster, then the pig master, who was considered the fifth emperor of the Han family in the official history, was undoubtedly the image of the 'second generation of losers'.

For example, the pavilion where Liu Hong is at this time does not need to think that its completion date must be similar to the completion date of Weiyang Palace; Liu Bang's entire career as an emperor was spent in quelling the rebellion of the princes, and it is estimated that the days in the palace are not as long as those of Empress Lu!

didn't live for a few days, which means that as long as this pavilion does not collapse, it will not be noticed by Liu Bang.

As for Emperor Hui Liu Ying, there is no need to say much - Cao Shen is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, but he faintly won the reputation of 'and the emperor's concubine' in the public opinion of the early Han Dynasty!

Even the dethronement of the Imperial Dao could not escape Cao Shen's saliva baptism, let alone the renovation of the palace.

As for Liu Heng, the original historical Emperor Wen, it was even more exaggerated - after discovering that the cost of a pavilion required 100 gold, he directly made a gesture of an aunt asking for a Lamborghini, and hurriedly put down this plan.

Emperor Jing Liu Qi, although he was deliberately downplayed by history because of the political stain of 'Chessboard Man', just one 'rule of Wenjing' is enough to prove that Liu Qi is not an extravagant and wasteful person.

Besides, in addition to the chessboard man, Emperor Jing Liu Qike also had a more resounding nickname in the Han Dynasty: Sword Giving Madness!

Relying on successive generations of emperors who have actively or passively searched for the emperor, the old Liu family has firmly held the hearts of the people in the world in their hands, even in the face of the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, when most of the country fell into rebellion, they can still sit firmly in the world.

Even Emperor Wu, who built a palace west of Chang'an City and thought it was his residence, was able to gather back the gradually dissipating people's hearts in the world with a piece of paper in his later years, which was also too unrelated to the 'search' of these emperors in the early Han Dynasty.

From the perspective of later generations, the situation of Emperor Wu in the later period may be the same thing; But in fact, in the later period of Emperor Wu, among the people at the bottom who were tormented by frequent wars and gradually complicated exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, there were already peasant uprisings!

Attention, it's not the trend, it's the uprising!

If Master Zhu didn't issue that guilty edict in the end, he was afraid that the rebel army would no longer be called a 'chaotic army' in history, but would be passed on by a certain historian alone, such as 'x win x wide biography'!

Being able to restore stability to society with an apology can only happen in the Han dynasty in history, and it happened within 50 years after the second emperor Wenjing.

In the theory of things in later generations, Emperor Wenjing was naturally a diligent and thrifty housekeeper, picking out and collecting the positive image of the funds for the decisive battle with the Xiongnu; And Emperor Wu Zhu Ye is in addition to his heyday of martial arts, and he has a negative evaluation of 'paving for luxury'.

In Liu Hong's eyes, whether it is Emperor Wen Liu Heng with three dishes and one soup, or Emperor Wu Liu Che who plays with the country's economy, they are not good reference objects.

The pendulum will swing.

When good things reach the extreme, they will inevitably lead to bad results, and bad things will go to the extreme...

Even if there is a good result, the process is very difficult.

For example, the diligent and thrifty Emperor Wenjing left a 'simple and simple' officialdom style for the Han family, but in the end, the government departments at the grassroots level of the Han family have become a hot potato that 'must not be repaired'!

In order to preserve the official reputation, officials not only did not dare to renovate and maintain government buildings, but even deliberately created a few small incidents that collapsed due to 'disrepair' during the period, so as to show that they are clean and serve the country and the people.

When the next official takes office, looking at the dilapidated departmental buildings, he will sit back and watch the buildings continue to be dilapidated because he is afraid of the condemnation of 'large-scale construction'.

It seems that this gesture has indeed established the inherent impression that 'officials and families are good people' in the people, which has reduced the resistance of local administration and improved administrative efficiency.

But compared to this benefit, the disadvantages are even more unacceptable.

Not to mention how many officials will put a layer of Shu brocade on their patched clothes under such a surface, the loss of government authority caused by the dilapidated government buildings alone made Liu Hong give up setting up a character like Emperor Wen for himself.

To a certain extent, dilapidated government buildings will reveal a message of 'national poverty', and thus extend the message of 'national weakness'.

This is inconsistent with Liu Hongdi's proposition - Liu Hong is not a landlord and a strong landlord, and the Han family is not a family clan!

It is shameful to be extravagant and wasteful, but there is no need to be a low-key person at all, and pursue any 'wealth not exposed'.

As a unified Chinese regime, what Liu Hong should do is to make the people of the Han family feel at all times: the country is really strong, the country is really rich!

Only in this way can the authority and image of the regime be 'sacrosanct' established, so that ordinary people will be in awe and obey the rule, and the hostile forces will be able to correctly recognize their own stupidity."

Internally, Liu Hong wants to make the people at the bottom clearly realize: Chang'an is rich and strong, and the Kwantung princes will not be able to succeed; Outside, Liu Hong also hopes that the people at the bottom will have full confidence in the Chang'an Central Committee behind them.

As for why you care so much about the senses of the people at the bottom, it is because in the early Han Dynasty, the people were about equal to quasi-soldiers!

In the Han family, which is in the afterglow of Emperor Guo's boiling righteousness, every adult man has the combat ability to be used as a reserve at any time!

In internal and external wars, the only northern and southern armies in the central government were the backbone of officers, and these civilians with murderous skills were recruited as soldiers.

Of course, Liu Hong didn't want to learn from Master Pig, as long as he could avoid the officialdom from turning to an extremely simple direction and a moderate amount of bluffing, it would be fine.

Secretly writing down this matter, Liu Hong lay down regardless of his manners, staring at the palace wall in the distance.

Liu Hong walked out of the Xuanshu Hall today, naturally not looking at a dilapidated pavilion and feeling nostalgic.

To be precise, Liu Hong was forced by the imperial doctor to walk out of the closed Xuanshu Hall to breathe through the air.

I have to say that even if he was mentally prepared for Zhang Cang to be deliberately underestimated by the history books due to political reasons, after a period of contact, Liu Hong still couldn't help but admire Zhang Cang's talent.

In other words, I was surprised by Zhang Cang's inhuman all-round ability...

After Zhang Cang resolutely took over the arduous task of 'recuperating His Majesty', Liu Hong and Zhang Cang actually met a lot more than in the past.

Different from Liu Hong's prediction in advance, Zhang Cang's treatment of Liu Hong not only included acupuncture, fumigation, decoction and other methods common in later Chinese medicine, but also psychological counseling for Western medicine in later generations!

- That's right, Zhang Cang will run into the palace every once in a while to chat with Liu Hong to relieve boredom and relieve pressure!

When Liu Hong asked the reason and got Zhang Cang's reply, Liu Hong couldn't help but feel infinitely proud of the wisdom of the ancients and the long-standing heritage of Chinese culture.

At this time, in 179 BC, while governing the country, researching academics, and defending the law, the old men of Huang Laoxue advanced the medical career to the point of 'the disease is born from the heart, and the body should be cured first'!

In layman's terms: Zhang Cang believes that Liu Hong's main problem is that the psychological pressure is too much, which affects the balance of yin and yang in the body, leading to endocrine disorders and the like.

So in the past ten days, Liu Hong not only turned around the Weiyang Palace inside and out, but also lost about fifty games of chess.

- It's all white, and the opponent is Zhang Cang!

Thinking that Zhang Cang knew everything about astronomy and geography, and was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Liu Hong couldn't help but smash it into a chessboard - don't bring such a bully!

But relaxation is relaxation, and as an emperor, Liu Hong is unlikely to have 'leisure' in the true sense of the word.

At this moment, Liu Hong looked comfortable lying under the gazebo, basking in the warm sun of early spring; But what I think about is still a national event.

The Xiongnu mission has been in Chang'an for almost a month, but the diplomatic process, which was supposed to be coming to an end, has almost completely come to a standstill.

According to the usual practice, the stay of the Xiongnu envoys in Chang'an will not exceed a month, and now, it is already the time when the Xiongnu envoys are approaching to turn back.

However, the diplomatic demands of the two sides are almost at odds with each other, or rather, they have fallen into a very strange deadlock.

Originally, the Xiongnu mission, which opened his mouth wide and demanded that the Han family provide a large amount of supplies, made an ambiguous posture of 'I have said everything I want, Shan Yu is indeed dying, whether to give it or not, how much you can do it'.

And the Han courtiers, who were at a diplomatic disadvantage and were emboldened because Liu Hong judged the message that Mao Dun was about to die, fell into a tangle under the posture of the Huns.

The Han dynasty was also very clearly divided into two camps because of this diplomatic incident.

The main battle faction believes that this is the Xiongnu Shan Yu Maodun playing tricks and testing the confidence of the Han family; Once frightened, it is very likely that the Huns will despise it, which will attract the unscrupulous incursion of the Huns.

The lord and faction of the Han family are different from the soft-footed crabs of later generations: the lord and faction generally believe that if they do not agree to the request of the Huns, they will inevitably suffer a retaliatory attack, and the current Han family is not ready for large-scale battles, and should temporarily endure humiliation and wait for the future.

These two 'hawkish' and 'more hawkish' views made Liu Hong feel a little relieved about the quality of officials in the Han Central Committee, and he also had stronger confidence in the future Armageddon.

However, what really made Liu Hong feel full of interest was that the members of the two camps greatly surprised Liu Hong!

Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, and Liu Jiezi needless to say, in order to hit Liu Hongdi's political prestige, he naturally jumped into the main and faction.

But the rest of the main and faction surprised Liu Hong!

Except for Liu Jie, the only one who is the master of Jiuqing is actually Lang Zhong Ling Mian!

The other seven people, whether it is Liu Yingke, who has just been appointed as Zongzheng on the body of the crown prince of Chu, or Liu Budo, a veteran of the imperial party, or the founding meritorious insect Da, Chen Fei, and even the Tingwei Wu Gong and others, are all in the main battle!

Even if Liu Jie, who has an impure purpose, is counted, it is only a two-to-seven ratio, and it seems that the main battle faction occupies an absolute dominant position.

But just the matter of Ling Mian and the Lord is enough to make Liu Hong's heart cool down for the most part!

If Ling Mian Zhuhe is not able to explain the problem, then the bias of another group completely made Liu Hong give up his determination to be tough to the end.

- The three princes are all the lord and the peace!

Chen Ping and Zhou Bo don't care, and don't mention the trial of the upcoming position of Zuo Xiang, just the matter of Zhang Cang's master and the matter is enough to completely expose the facts in front of Liu Hong: The Han family can't afford to fight.

Even if these internal responses are aside, the 'unanimous opposition of the three princes' alone is enough for Liu Hong to abandon his hard-line strategic approach and instead strive for peace for the longest possible.

This incident can be said to have made Liu Hong rack his brains, so entangled that he didn't know how to deal with it and how to judge.

But in the end, it was Liu Hong's knowledge reserve that made Liu Hong calm down.

Judging from the time of Maudun's death in history, at least in the next five years, the Xiongnu will not have much internal chaos and strife.

As long as Mao Dun is here, even if he becomes a vegetative person, it is enough to make the hundred tribes of the grassland bow their heads and do not dare to face each other with scimitars, but only dare to charge in the direction of Mingdi.

Liu Hong also figured it out - the important thing is not whether the Huns are real or false, whether the Huns are real or false, but whether the Han family can afford to gamble and whether they dare to fight.

Just like a child who is being bullied, he should not think about whether the big brother next door is sick at all, but should look down at his slender arm and make a calm judgment.

For now, even if he is no longer willing to admit it, Liu Hong can only accept the reality: even if the entire Munan is out of the control of the Xiongnu Shan Yuting, and the Right Xian King is independent, the Han family has not yet entered the market and is not qualified to benefit from it.

Whether it is Shan Yuting, who lost the south of the house, or the Youxian Wang's department that divided the south of the country, it is not something that the Han family, which still uses chariots as the elite force, can compete with at this time.

Therefore, Liu Hong has already made a final decision: aside from the fantasy demands put forward by the Xiongnu mission, he will meet the requirements of the Huns with grain, rice, salt, cloth and other daily necessities.

This result, which neither side is very satisfied with, but can barely accept is already the ultimate that Liu Hong can do.
