Lu Bu stood with his hands in his hands and looked up at the map,

Suddenly, he said:

"There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people."

Lu Zhi behind him,

Hearing this, his eyes shrank,

looked at Lu Bu's back and didn't say anything.

Lu Bu stretched out his hand,

Gently stroking the map,

There was a gentle look in his eyes,

Whispered:

"Think of my Han Dynasty, since Emperor Gaozu destroyed Qin, it has a history of nearly four hundred years."

Lu Bu turned around and sat down at his desk again,

looked at Lu Zhi with burning eyes and said:

"I think that Qin II was tyrannical and unkind, which led to the chaos at the end of Qin, and Emperor Gaozu rose up and was named King of Han after overthrowing the Qin Dynasty. In the final battle of Wujiang, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was forced to kill himself, which finally brought the dispute between Chu and Han to a complete end. After the victory, Gaozu proclaimed himself emperor, set the capital of Chang'an, and established the Han Dynasty. ”

Lu Bu is here,

After a pause,

Lu Zhi always listened,

There was no opening to interrupt Lu Bu's train of thought.

"When Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing were two, they began to implement the national policy of recuperation and recuperation, and finally created the "rule of Wenjing", which made the national strength of our Han Dynasty stronger and stronger. Later, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, Zhang Qian, a native of Chenggu of Hanzhong County, was ordered by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to lead more than 100 people to the Western Regions with Gan's father as a guide, opening up the north-south road to the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty, that is, the famous Silk Road. Not only did he spread the civilization of the Central Plains to the Western Regions, but also introduced species such as sweat horses, grapes, alfalfa, pomegranates, and flax from the countries of the Western Regions to the Central Plains. Because of this, Lord Zhang Qian was also named the Marquis of Bowang by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. ”

At this point, Lu Bu stood up excitedly,

Waving his fist, he said:

"It was also during this period that the general Changping Hou Weiqing raided Longcheng, recovered Heshuo, Hetao and other areas, and defeated the Xiongnu Shan Yu, established an immortal feat, and spread the prestige of our Han Dynasty far and wide. It was followed by the champion Hou Huo Hussar, who opened up the Hexi Corridor and surrendered in Hexi, and the battle of Mobei sealed the wolf Juxu, leaving a good name through the ages. These two people are also the idols of my Lu someone's life. I was born in the frontier, and I have seen the poison of the border barbarians on my border people, so I have taken the two generals as models since I was a child, and it is also the origin of the word "Fengxian", which is to emulate the two generals and pacify the barbarians. ”

Exhaling a breath, Lu Bu continued:

"When Emperor Wu opened up the Silk Road, he expanded the land and achieved the 'prosperous era of Han Wu'. During the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the national strength reached its peak, and for the first time, the 'Western Regions Protectorate' was established, and the Western Regions were included in the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, which was known as 'Zhaoxuan Zhongxing' in history. ”

When Lu Bu came out with this paragraph,

The light on his face slowly shines,

When reminiscing about those eventful years,

I can't really devote myself to the Zheng of that era

Lu Zhi on the side also showed a nostalgic look,

Smiled and nodded in response:

"What a glory I was at that time."

Lu Bu's face also showed a smile,

Then he spoke:

"At the time of Emperor Yuan, there was a character in my Han Dynasty, and he was also a general whom I Lu Fengxian particularly admired, Guannei Hou Chen Tang. During the Yuan Emperor, Zhi Zhi Shan Yu rebelled, and Chen Tang, who was the deputy lieutenant of the Western Regions, finally coerced the Western Regions to protect Gan Yanshou and send troops to attack Zhi Zhi Shan Yu, and finally held the banner of the Marquis and beheaded the Zhi Zhi, leaving behind 'Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!' This deafening cry of peerlessness. ”

Lu Zhi repeated in a low but firm voice,

"Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!"

Suddenly, Lu Bu's complexion became a little dark,

The voice also changed the way:

"However, since Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the two emperors of Yuan and Cheng have been ......"

Lu Evangelism here,

Lu Zhi opened his mouth to speak,

In the end, it could only be replaced by a long sigh.

Lu Bu glanced at the loneliness on Lu Zhi's face,

Only then did he speak again:

"In the end, it led to Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, which caused my Han Dynasty to fall into turmoil, until the Green Forest Army supported Liu Xuan of the Han clan as the emperor in February of the fourth year of the emperor, and restored the name of the Han Dynasty, but was the Han Dynasty still the Han Dynasty at that time?"

Lu Bu smiled bitterly and said this,

seems to be asking Lu Zhi,

It seems to be asking myself again,

It's more like asking about the ancestors of the past.

When Lu Zhi heard this,

The eye sockets are already starting to redden.

Finally two years later, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu was unified, still using Han as the national name, the capital Luoyang, and the unification of the army to raise the people, known as "Guangwu Zhongxing"; After Emperor He of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, the general Dou Xian broke the Northern Xiongnu, climbed Yanran Mountain, went to the fortress for more than 3,000 miles, carved Shi Legong, Ji Han Weide, and made Ban Gu make an inscription. Dingyuan Hou Banchao, leaving 'not into the tiger's den to get the tiger', with 36 warriors to break into the Western Regions, and finally burned the Xiongnu camp, sword slashing foreign wizards, the prestige of the Western Regions, and finally made the imperial court recover more than 50 countries in the Western Regions. This is already the 'Yongyuan Zhilong' created during the period of Emperor He, when the national strength of the Eastern Han Dynasty reached its peak. ”

Lu Bu sided,

Lu Zhi listened carefully while aside,

At the same time, he kept nodding his head.

"However, it was at the beginning of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty that there was always a crisis in our Han Dynasty."

Lu Zhi's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this,

Unconsciously interfaced:

"Feng Xian, but is it a dispute between relatives and eunuchs?"

dot fraction,

Lu Bu continued with a gloomy expression:

"That's right, although my big man is still strong, it is undeniable that there is also a fatal crisis within it, and it is getting worse with the passage of time. It is precisely because of the large consumption of national strength in the internal strife that since the Emperor He, our Han Dynasty's border policy has become more and more weak. It was also after that, relatives and traitors alternated power, and even when the two emperors of Huan and Ling appeared in the disaster of the party, the impact and losses caused were difficult to estimate, and the Han court gradually entered the dire Zheng finally A few years ago, the dynasty collapsed, and the traitorous eunuchs were in power, which made the Yellow Turban Uprising break out in the whole country, and later the imperial court suppressed the civil unrest but led to the local army self-respect. Since Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang'an, my Eastern Han Dynasty has actually existed in name only. ”

After Lu Zhi listened,

His expression also became very gloomy,

Although he was loyal to the Han Dynasty,

But for Lu Bu's method of "existing in name only",

But there is no half-point argument.

In fact, the struggle between relatives and eunuchs has been going on for a long time.

And not even just the Han Dynasty,

This problem existed in many dynasties.

It's just that at the time of the Han Dynasty,

This kind of problem has reached a peak.

Lu Zhi let out a long sigh,

Finally spoke:

"In fact, as early as the early days of the establishment of our dynasty, Emperor Gaozu absorbed the disadvantages of the excessive power of the eunuchs of the Qin Dynasty and regarded the empress dowager as the core of assisting the emperor."

Lu Bu nodded,

At this time, he added:

In fact, Emperor Gaozu's original intention was very good, he thought that in this way he could consolidate the imperial power and curb the expansion of the eunuchs' power. From Empress Dowager Lü to Empress Dowager Bo, it turned out that his approach was not wrong, and the Han Dynasty was not only stabilized, but also developed positively. ”

"That's right."

Lu Zhi nodded in agreement,

Then he spoke:

However, there is a problem that cannot be ignored, that is, the power of the queen mother will inevitably lead to the expansion of the power of relatives, so that although the power of the eunuchs is eliminated, it cultivates another force. That is the group of foreign relatives. ”

With a long sigh, Lu Zhi continued:

"Emperor Gaozu has some things, but he thinks about it too complicated. In fact, it is the power of foreign relatives that can really threaten the imperial power, because the power of eunuchs is so huge is based on the imperial power, if the emperor does not trust him and wants to remove him, even if the power in his hands is useless. In the end, they are all just some foxes and fake tigers, once they lose the emperor's rebirth, they are just crippled people. ”

Although Lu Zhi was once framed by a traitorous eunuch,

That's why they're crusading against the Yellow Turbans,

It was the spring breeze that was framed and imprisoned,

But he didn't because of this,

and deliberately hated the traitors,

On the contrary, at this moment, with a very objective position and angle,

Analyze this matter.

When Lu Bu heard this, he nodded in agreement,

He doesn't just agree with Lu Zhisuo's views.

Regarding this period of the Han Dynasty,

The struggle between relatives and traitors has a long history,

Later generations of historiography,

Almost all the discussions on this issue are rotten,

Therefore, the point of view put forward by Lu Zhi at this moment is not new to Lu Bulai,

And that's the real essence of it.

But what made Lu Bu agree and admire was Lu Zhi,

He is indeed as judged by history,

It's just a person who is close to perfection,

Wen Taowu is not necessary,

His conduct is also noble,

was framed by a traitor,

He almost died because of it.

But at this moment, it is timely to talk,

But it is always analyzed from an objective standpoint,

And there is no trace of subjectivity,

Lu Zhiqirao's cultivation and his own character,

As can be seen from this incident,

Therefore, Lu Bucai was very respectful.

Lu Zhi didn't know what Lu Bu was thinking,

Still gloomy, he continued:

"But those relatives are different, the real backer of the relatives is actually the queen mother and not the emperor. As early as when the emperor was young, they held great power in their hands and installed their own people everywhere. And in the eyes of the Queen Mother, these people are her own family, and they will work harder than other ministers. In this case, often when the emperors were young, the queen mother would listen to the government, but this time was the best time for the development of the power of foreign relatives. ”

Lu Zhi stopped, shook his head, and did not continue.

Lu Bu opened his mouth at this time and added:

"In fact, among the emperors of my dynasty, there are also people who have wanted to solve this problem, the most typical is Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, he once ordered the prince to kill his biological mother after he was born, he believes that the reason for the expansion of the power of foreign relatives is that the mother of the new emperor has too much power, that is, 'the emperor's young mother is strong', which also caused a shock in the court at that time, but in the end although the problem was solved on the surface, but in fact it was not. Because he didn't realize that the root cause was because the Queen Mother had too much power, and only weakening the Queen Mother's power was the most important issue. Of course, I don't know if it's fate, few emperors in our dynasty have long lives, most of them are in the prime of life, on the other hand, the queen mother's life is very long, which is actually one of the reasons for the queen mother's excessive power. Relatives and eunuchs alternately interfere in politics is the most serious in the past dynasties, the Western Han Dynasty died in the relatives Wang Mang, the Eastern Han Dynasty died in the eunuchs ten permanent servants, the Han Dynasty after hundreds of years, but did not think of a solution, it is really sad, Emperor Gaozu thought that with the assistance of the queen mother, the imperial power can be stable forever, but he ignored the fatal factor of the relatives. As Mr. Fang Cai pointed out, Emperor Gaozu's consideration of preventing adultery is really too complicated. This led to the rise of foreign relatives, making most of the national strength consumed and infighting Zheng"

Drink all the tea in the cup in one gulp,

Lu Bu ended this analysis,

In fact, this is also in the field of later historiography,

The analysis conclusion on the alternating dictatorship of the power of the Han Dynasty's relatives and eunuchs,

When Lu Bu was in the later generations,

It is the experts who study this,

Therefore, at this time, I came out with more emotion.

After listening to Lu Bu's words,

Lu Zhi fell silent,

His gaze gradually became hollow,

Shaking his head and sighing,

There is too much heaviness and helplessness in this sigh,

It seems that he wants to spit out all the depression in his heart.

Lu Bu looked at Lu Zhi with some pity,

He can understand Lu Zhi's psychology,

Although Lu Zhi is also aware of the nature of these problems,

But as an ordinary courtier,

But there's nothing he can do to change that.

Therefore, one can only sigh gloomily.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu's heart suddenly moved,

He remembered Dong Zhuo's bizarre conversation with him at that time,

Dong Zhuo's tone, expression, and words at that time,

Compare with Lu Zhi's performance at the moment,

It turned out to be similar to Rutz,

Don't......

Could it be that Dong Zhuo's words at that time were all true?

Is he really not as inferred by later historians?

Just an over-inflated guy with a lust for power,

Could it be that he turned out to be a person who was truly loyal to the Han family?

It's just that the path he chose was diametrically opposed to Lu Zhi.

He is intended to stand by breaking and then standing,

This method of PUBG survival,

Eliminate the problem of alternating dictatorship between relatives and traitors,

It's just that he himself didn't make it to the end.

The reason why Lu Bu thinks that Dong Zhuo did not persist to the end,

It was also based on that conversation,

Dong Zhuo's actions,

Always give Lu Bu a strong feeling,

He's deliberately backing down,

even took the initiative to let Lu Bu develop and grow,

At the same time, there are too many opportunities to merge the state.

Thinking about it at the moment, there are really too many doubts in this.

Lu Bu suddenly felt that he had always known,

and the conclusions he once thought he had,

At this moment, there was a slight wavering,

After talking to Dong Zhuo at that time,

He only had some suspicions.
