The first three years of the founding of the Han Empire were a very important year in the later history books. Because several things that are about to happen during this year, whether for the East or the West, and for the whole world, will have a significant and far-reaching impact.

As the most prosperous imperial capital of this era, Chang'an, its influence has been unparalleled today. Famous all over the world, it is a place that countless people with different identities dream of reaching.

Chang'an, I haven't heard the sound of soldiers for a long time! The people who live here now talk about the days when the enemy invaded and frightened every day, and the conversation and laughter seem to be a world away. In fact, if you think about it seriously, it will not be more than 20 years.

Some people of insight all high-fived and sighed when they talked about it casually among the restaurants and tea shops in Chang'an. As a member of the Han Dynasty, we are also of the Chinese ethnicity, and everyone feels the same way, and we are proud and proud of it.

The heyday of the Han Empire has finally arrived! It is different from the trajectory of other dynasties throughout history. It is a kind of strength that is not adulterated with any falsehood and exaggeration. No matter in every aspect of this dynasty, you can feel the self-confidence of a strong civilization from it.

Even if he is an ordinary pawn, if he is asked how he really feels about the country to which he belongs, the answer must be heartfelt satisfaction and approval.

It has just been a hundred years since the great chaos in the world after the fall of the Great Qin Dynasty. The sufferings that my parents and grandparents had told countless times were, even if I had not experienced them personally, still remember them vividly. Moreover, the Xiongnu invasion was endless, the smoke of the four borders was difficult to break, the domestic princes were in turmoil, and the world was turbulent...... Most people have suffered from all of this.

Now, all this threat and suffering is gone. After 20 years of vigorous development, the Han Empire has been reborn, and the dragon is prosperous, and the east is bright.

"Today's son in Weiyang Palace is really a blessed emperor!"

Before you know it, time flies. If you count the New Year that has just passed, it has been three years since the new emperor ascended the throne. Such words of admiration have come from the mouths of countless people, circulated in the community, and become everyone's consensus.

And the former emperor Wu Di, who once worked hard, has gradually been forgotten in the passing years, and all his merits and demerits have been buried in the depths of the mausoleum with him. Maoling Liu Lang Autumn Guest, the descendants of the Thousand Autumn Achievements said!

Today's son is a king of success, and he is also a benevolent emperor. Whether he was in the prince's mansion or in the three years of the Hanyuan Palace, everything he did showed his benevolence and generosity.

Some people have already quietly commented that if everything goes according to this, this seemingly "inaction" king may become one of the greatest emperors in history. Behind him, there will inevitably be a reputation for the word "benevolence".

Although it is said that because of the general direction of the development of the encyclopedia and the development of the empire, Confucianism has not had a chance to become a sacred science. However, some of the famous ideas in this school are still very well known to the world.

Especially after today's son succeeded to the throne, under the influence of Prime Minister Yuan Zhao, under the premise that the Han Empire ruled the world with "filial piety", a word was quietly added and changed to "benevolence and filial piety" to rule the world. This major change in national policy undoubtedly made the Confucian disciples excited, and at the same time, it also made the people of the world gradually understand the future development direction of the empire.

Don't simply underestimate these literal changes, behind this actually contains the good intentions of the actual rulers of the Han Dynasty. Although there are not many people who really have a deep understanding of it now, the more it will show that this change in national policy has a great positive effect on this prosperous dynasty.

And Sima Qian, the knowledgeable and knowledgeable scholar of the world, was undoubtedly one of the first people to understand the profound intentions of the imperial ministers.

All the way back, although the journey was tiring, Sima Qian's face was full of energy, and there was no trace of tiredness. The conversation lasted for several days, and his heart was greatly shaken. He couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he had won the opportunity to go west out of Yumen Pass this time, and was able to witness the majestic and mighty posture of the Han army. And being able to talk about these days face-to-face with Yuan Zhao is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

From a very young age, under the influence of his father, Sima Qian was determined to read all the books in the world, travel all over the world, recognize the changes of the past and the present, observe the subtleties of the world and the world, and wanted to use the pen in his hand and his own eyes to explore the infinite mysteries in the historical process in detail.

Those who have perseverance have perseverance. That's what he thinks, and that's what he does. When he really shouldered the responsibility of Taishi Ling, for the chronicler of a great era, he felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was extremely heavy.

In order to comprehensively account all aspects of this great and prosperous era, Sima Qian has made great efforts. Over the years, he has almost single-handedly collected and sorted out all the major events of the Han Empire in the past hundred years, and sorted out various clear contexts from them. He had great self-confidence, and if everything was ready, he would definitely be able to write a history book that was different from all the previous historical records.

And now, this person, who is actually very conceited in his heart, is facing Yuan Zhao, who is much younger than him, but he has always listened carefully to the questions answered by the other party with the attitude of being a disciple, all the way.

Far away from Guanshan, the scenery is still vague. The ancient road of Qin and Han dynasties, Chang'an is in sight. When Sima Xiangru, who had been asleep for a long time, woke up in the bumps of the carriage, he was surprised to find that the conversation between the two people around him had not ended. The Imperial Doctor couldn't help but smile and shook his head, both impressed by the persistence of his fellow surname and Yuan Zhao's patience.

It's just that how did he know that under Yuan Zhao's plain smile, he had already been made miserable by Sima Qian, who had asked the bottom of the matter!

"Yuanhou, oh...... And one last question. Ha ha! ”

Sima Qian was in a good mood. However, he seemed to have already sensed Yuan Zhao's emotions, he finally put down the pen in his hand, and nodded to Sima Xiangru, who got up and tidied up, as a greeting.

Yuan Zhao also nodded hurriedly, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief, muttering to himself in his heart, I really can't see it! Sima Qian, this guy turned out to be a chatterbox. If you put it thousands of years later, it will be comparable to those super paparazzi!

"So, Yuanhou advocates governing the country with benevolence and filial piety, and puts the word benevolence first, is he learning the lesson of the first emperor Wudi, and wants to use this to regulate the future kings to do as they want?"

The question is very sharp, almost straight to the heart. Sima Xiangru raised his head in surprise, he actually really wanted to know the answer.

Yuan Zhao's expression remained unchanged. He knew that he had some long-term ideas, and he couldn't hide them from guys like the two smart people in front of him. What's more, he didn't want to hide it from them. Whether it is Sima Xiangru, Sima Qian, Dongfang Shuo, or Zhongjun, these people are his most staunch supporters and implementers of some policies. In the future, we will need to fight side by side with them.

Dahan Taishi Ling looked at Yuan Zhao calmly, and at this moment, he put away his humility and respect. The stakes are high, and he wants to see the true inner thoughts of this character who is destined to go down in history.

Yuan Zhao nodded, faced them and began to speak. If what he said and said was to spread the word, it would have caused a great shock. But he believes that both men can be trusted. They are true like-minded people.

"In fact, such a thing as restricting the behavior of the emperor is shocking to the world, but in some of the thoughts of the Spring and Autumn Princes, it is not without precedent...... Of course, those are just theories. If you really want to realize it in reality, you still have a long way to go...... And the development of the Han Dynasty to this day, there has been a good opportunity...... If our generation can firmly grasp and lay a good foundation for this empire, then the future will be worth looking forward to...... In the best I could hope for, the king would no longer be a man of his word. He will lead his subjects as a symbol of national honor...... The formulation of the major policies of the state depends on the deliberation of the ministers within the limits of the legal system...... ”

The two Sima adults looked at each other, and an indescribable feeling suddenly filled the body and mind, it was the feeling of the hair on the whole body exploding, and it was a kind of power that hit the heart directly through the thousand-year-old annals. Originally...... The picture is poor. Yuan Zhao wants to lead this empire in such a direction!

After the new year is the new year, and the first solar term in the new year is the sting. Although the spring thunder in the sky has not yet sounded for the first time, in their hearts, it is no less than the thunder and thunderbolt pride.

Before arriving in Chang'an, Yuan Zhao finished his words like this. Or rather, he finally uttered his proclamation to the most trusted government aides and historical engravers.

Chang'an Yongning Gate arrived, and after the general defending the city surveyed correctly, he immediately respectfully put this envoy team to and from the Western Regions into the city. The soldiers of Chang'an actually wanted to come forward to inquire about the details of the war in the Western Regions, but no one dared to delay them. His Majesty the Emperor must have waited more urgently, right?

It's just that no one thought that the person who was regarded as an idol by all the generals and soldiers of the Han Army was sitting in the carriage that was galloping by at this moment.

"Chang'an...... I am back! ”

In the short period of time before the Western Regions and the Persian army decided the victory, the reason why Yuan Zhao wanted to return to Chang'an was to meet the emperor in person once to discuss matters related to the Han Empire's collection of forces from all sides to conquer the western continent. He also wanted to see his newborn daughter Yuanyue and Lingzhi with his own eyes.

And just after Yuan Zhao entered Chang'an, even he didn't expect that a bigger surprise was waiting for his arrival!
