Chapter 938: Heroes Must Be Spirited
That night, in the middle of drinking, Yuan Zhao couldn't remember what he said later. Such a state is extremely rare for him.
The emperor's handwritten letters, he read for a long time. Looking back on the achievements of Rong Ma Yantian in the past 20 years, even he did not expect that Emperor Liu Ju would make such a decision.
“…… Brother Yuan, although I am not sure about your life or death, I still want to say something to you...... Since I got acquainted outside Chang'an City, I have been rescued by you several times over the years. It also helped me to ascend to the throne of emperor. Whether it is for me, the Wei clan, or even the entire Han Empire, it is a reinvention of Entong...... Sometimes when we talk to the queen mother, we are very grateful. Without your presence, no one can predict what our fate would be...... Actually, after becoming emperor, I was not happy. Although I tried my best to live up to the responsibilities I shouldered, I was already very tired and tired, both inside and physically...... If I could choose again, I would rather go and live another easy life. The responsibility of an empire weighed on my back was not an honor for me, but a torture, and my body knew that it had been overwhelmed for a long time ....... ”
In front of Yuan Zhao, Liu Ju never used the word "I". Deep down in his heart, Yuan Zhao was his brother and the one who showed him the way. If there is still someone in this world who can save a confused emperor's heart, then he believes that only Yuan Zhao has this ability.
The wind blowing from the sea swept across the continent. Mountains and valleys, grasslands and rivers. They are all covered with emerald green colors, and they are the place of infinite hope. Some people consciously retreated into the distance, not daring to come and disturb. Although most of them didn't know why Yuan Zhao's expression was so solemn, they all knew very well that there must be something extraordinary between him and the emperor.
The night was like a wash, and countless stars in the sky shone brightly. Yuan Zhao stood for a long time, staring at the deep night sky above his head. At this moment, even he had infinite confusion in his heart. He couldn't figure out what God wanted to change by letting him travel through thousands of years of time to this era?
More than 20 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the huge wheel of history has been corrected by him as much as possible. The situation of the prosperity and decline of the Han Dynasty was completely reversed at the most critical juncture because of his participation. Many of the tragedies that once happened in real life will never happen again. At the same time, the fate of many people has also changed dramatically. This includes Emperor Liu Ju.
In Yuan Zhao's consistent cognition, he never thought that the emergence of the so-called "Ming Monarch Holy Lord" was a good thing. As for those "eloquent talents" and "perfect martial arts", I am afraid that in a certain sense, they are the biggest stumbling blocks hindering the development of the historical process.
There is always a shadow behind the mountains. The higher the peak, the greater the shadow. In the long course of history, even if there are a few truly gifted emperors, while they have made those great achievements, the negative effects they have brought are immeasurable. Not to mention, most of the time. The so-called "greatness" is nothing more than a fake created by artificial hype! For the common people in the world, in such an era of power domination, the consequences can be imagined, and the disasters are greater than the well-being!
In the Han Dynasty that had never been changed, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was so happy, self-righteous and had an extremely strong desire for power, did not relax his hand even in his twilight years
in power. Not only that, but he, like many dictators who have monopolized power in ancient and modern China and abroad, the more he reaches the end of his life, the more ruthless and ruthless he is in order to retain power.
This phenomenon is actually not surprising, to be noble, it is for the needs of the stability of the country, and the emperors are unwilling to hand over power easily. To put it selfishly, it is that power has changed human nature, and the loneliness and fear of the emperors before their deaths have made them no longer trust anyone. So much so that the psyche has reached a level of distortion. The slightest wind and grass will be suspicious. Cruelty, murderousness, and ruthlessness naturally became their last resort to maintain their majesty.
And it was under such circumstances that the "witch curse" that caused a huge disaster to the Han Dynasty and even the entire Chinese history was triggered. The crown prince Liu Ju died, and the Wei clan was destroyed. Chang'an is turbulent, and the world is restless. Whether in the court or in the army, countless elites were implicated and killed in this turmoil.
The consequences of this great change are extremely serious. Not only caused turmoil on all fronts at the time. It also left countless hidden dangers for the future development of the Han Empire. It can be said that the prosperous situation gradually formed by the reign of Wenjing in the Han Dynasty reached its peak during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Then the main reasons for the boom and bust are in two ways.
First of all, the long-term war against the Xiongnu, while achieving brilliant military victories, also dragged down the economy of the entire country. The family funds accumulated in the past hundred years have almost been exhausted, and it is difficult to recover the decline under the rapid turn of national strength. Later generations said that he was "reckless and dethroned", and he was not wronged at all.
In addition to the impact of the Xiongnu War on the country's military and economic aspects, the events that had a huge impact on the political situation of the Han Dynasty were the "Witch Plague" and the death of the crown prince Liu Ju. The decline and demise of the Han Dynasty caused by this aspect is also worth pondering.
All the people in the world will never know that it is precisely because of the sudden appearance of Yuan Zhao that these two hidden dangers that caused fatal damage to the Han Dynasty were perfectly solved. Almost single-handedly, he corrected the giant ship of history back in the right direction. Since then, cleaving the waves, setting sail, thousands of years, a hundred years of beauty.
However, no one knows about it now, and Yuan Zhao feels a headache. Because he suddenly found that even though he had changed the general direction of history, he still seemed to be a little powerless in terms of personal character and fate. What made him feel dazed, stunned and unexpected was what Emperor Liu Ju said in the second half of the letter.
“…… Brother Yuan, it's been a long time since I wanted to let go of the burden of this emperor. Hope you understand. Compared to that, what I miss the most is those happy times on the Changle Plateau. But I don't know, can I get it again for the rest of my life? …… As for handing over Feng'er to the queen to participate in the upbringing, I have also thought about it for a long time. With your wisdom, you will certainly understand the balance of complex relationships behind this...... I'm sorry for you. Anyway, the most important people in this world are only a few of my mother, sister, uncle and you. I hope you all understand my painstaking efforts...... ”
Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, but floating clouds. Who is entrusted with a thousand years of achievements? Perhaps, for Liu Ju, the weight of all this is not comparable to the carefree teenage years.
Yuan Zhao silently took the finished letter into his arms. Full of mountains and rivers
The empty mind is far away, and there is no echo in the lonely world. Although now he has become famous all over the world and is full of achievements. But at this moment, I feel unspeakably lonely. There is no one to talk to him about his thoughts, and no one can share them for him.
"Your Majesty, this is really ...... It's embarrassing! ”
Beside the fading bonfire, he smiled faintly wryly. The son he has not met yet is about to be forcibly arranged for him by others to give him a special life. Anyway, I always feel a little uncomfortable. However, since the emperor has already announced it, he must have obtained the consent of Princess Suxi when he was in Chang'an, so it seems that his opinion is not very important anymore?
"How's that...... You understand what Your Majesty means, right? ”
Junjun, who was carrying a jar of wine in one hand, walked up to him and handed him one. Then he sat cross-legged on the grass, the night was dark, and the sky was high and far away, and perhaps at such a time, only the pride of wine could melt the lumps in his chest.
"Forget it! Don't want to do that...... Everyone has their own destiny, no matter who it is, it may have been predestined. ”
Yuan Zhao gave a slight gesture to the final army, and then the two of them raised the wine jar, each like a long whale sucking water, and the liquor entered his throat, which was very heroic.
Attendants in the distance waited faithfully in the night. They watched silently, but no one came to disturb them. Soon after, these two important officials of the imperial court were lying in disheveled clothes in the grass, and sporadic words occasionally sounded.
"King Yan and King Guangling, how are they doing now?"
"I put them all in the former palace of the Persian king. Served by a special person, delicious food and drink, but it is much fatter than a few days ago...... Hehe! ”
"According to the laws of the Han Dynasty and the rules set by Emperor Gaozu, the behavior of these two princes is already openly rebellious...... You have the power of life and death in the army, why are you so troublesome? ”
"How can you kill people casually? They are the sons of the previous emperor, and they are the emperor's brothers today...... Well, if they are casually allowed to die in the army, the royal family of Chang'an will probably fall into trouble! ”
"You're not right...... Hehe! That's why Your Majesty sent me. ”
"Ziyun, you still have to be cautious about them."
"Your Majesty gave me the Son of Heaven Dragon Head Sword ......."
"Oh...... I mean....... ”
"Brother Yuan, isn't your majesty's meaning clear enough? Give them to me...... You do what you have to do, if everything is stable, we can go back to Chang'an together, how great it would be! ”
"Chang'an...... Alas! Brother Ziyun, I'll tell you the truth, I've been missing it for a long time. They are in the family, my son, my daughter...... Hehe! ”
"With the care and care of His Majesty and all the people of Chang'an, everything is fine with them. Please put 10,000 hearts on this...... However, I heard that your lady came all the way here, why is she missing? ”
"Oh...... Well, but I don't have anything to say! ”
Before you know it, the dew wets the grass tips, and the conversation gradually falls silent. The past and the future are all in a dream.
