Volume 11 Han Ji III (7)

The sky will be peaceful, and the one who will rule the ceremony. Introduce the hundred officials into the temple gate in order. East-west array. And he made the guards stand in the middle of the temple, and set them up in the court. All with weapons in their hands and banners in large displays. So the emperor called the police. Take a chariot out of the house. and bring in the princes and kings below to six hundred quintals of officials. Pilgrimage in order. All officials are afraid and respectful.

After the ceremony, the French wine was added. Hundreds of officials sat in the hall, all bowing their necks and bowing their heads, not daring to look up. Rise up to life in the order of dignity and inferiority. Nine elements, the person said to stop drinking, the imperial history enforced the law, and led those who could not perform according to the etiquette out of the court. Even the wine was set up, but no one dared to be rude.

So the emperor said, "I only know today that being an emperor is so honorable." So he worshiped his uncle and grandson for being too often. and gave five hundred pounds of gold. When Qin had the world, the etiquette of the six countries was all introduced, and the etiquette that could show respect for the king and suppress the minister was preserved. and uncle and grandson Tongzhi ceremony, although there are some increases and losses, but generally follow the old system of the Qin period. From the title of the Son of Heaven to the names of the assistants and palace officials, they were slightly tampered with, and his books were later stored in the same place as the legal decrees. The Legalists were never passed on again, so the subjects only knew their deeds but did not know their words.

Sima Guang commented: As an existential object, the role of rites is greater. If you use it for your body, you will have a way to move and be still. And the hundred lines have. If it is used at home, there is a difference between inside and outside, and the nine clans are harmonious. When used in the township, it is young and old, and the folk customs are beautiful. If it is used for the country, the monarch and the ministers will be orderly and the country will be safe. If it is used in the world, the princes will obey, and the discipline will be correct. Is it as simple as only having a few seats, and the courts can get it without chaos? With the wisdom of Gaozu, he will listen to Lu Jia's words and praise goodness, and sigh when he sees the etiquette of his uncle and grandson. However, he cannot be compared with the king of three generations because he refuses to study. With the assistance of Confucianism,. And they rule the world with propriety, and their merits stop here? It's a pity that the uncle and grandson are small, and they just get the chaff of the ceremony, so they can choose according to the likes and dislikes of the world. So that the former king's etiquette was not uplifted. So far. Isn't it deplorable? The real Confucianism will not destroy its rules and standards in order to achieve temporary success.

The emperor himself is a general to attack Han*. In Tongti broke its army. Behead its general Wang Xi. Han * died and left the Huns. Bai Turen Manqiuchen, Wang Huang and others, Zhao Li, a descendant of Zhao, became king. Recovering the defeated army of Han*, he conspired with Xin and the Xiongnu to attack Han. The Xiongnu made the left and right virtuous kings to ride more than 10,000 horses, and Wang Huang and other troops were widely armed. south to Jinyang.

The Han soldiers attacked, the Xiongnu retreated, and then reunited. The Han soldiers took advantage of the victory to pursue. At this time, it was cold, rainy and snowy. Three out of 10 soldiers froze their fingers. The emperor lived in Jinyang, and heard that Mao Dun was in Daigu and was about to attack him. He made people reconnoiter the movements of the Huns, and Maudun hid his strong men and fat oxen and horses, but he saw the old and weak and the animals. The envoys went back and forth dozens of times, and they all said that the Huns could be attacked. The emperor sent Liu Jing to envoy the Xiongnu, but he did not return, and the emperor marched north with an army of 320,000 troops. Today, when the minister goes, he sees a barren old man and a weak man, and he must have deliberately exposed his shortcomings to us and lured us to attack, and then he will set up a surprise army to compete for profit. Foolishly thought that the Huns were unbeatable. ”

At that time, the Han soldiers had already begun to attack, and the emperor was furious and said: "Qi Lu won the official with his tongue, and today he is vainly talking about disrupting my military." "Because of the order, Liu Jing Yu Guangwu. The emperor went to Pingcheng first. Before the soldiers were exhausted, Mao Dun set up 400,000 elite soldiers and surrounded the emperor in Baideng for seven days. Han soldiers were not allowed to rescue each other. The emperor used Chen Ping's secret plan to bribe Mrs. Mao Dun with gold coins. The lady said to Maudun, "The two lords are not in trouble. Now get the land of Han, and Shan Yu can't live here in the end, and the Han lord is also blessed by the gods, and he can't harm each other, and he is willing to be clear and clear. "Mao Dun dated Wang Huang and Zhao Li, but Wang Zhao didn't come when it was due. Suspecting that they had a conspiracy with the Han army, they broke the siege. Just in time for the sky there was a heavy fog, and the Han envoys came and went, and the Huns could not perceive it. Chen Ping ordered a strong crossbow to cover and rushed straight out from the corner where the siege was relieved. After the emperor came out of the siege, he wanted to drive his horse to gallop, and the servant Tenggong insisted on Xu Xing. When they arrived in Pingcheng, the Han army also arrived. Hu Cai then broke the siege and left. Han also returned with his army. Ordered Fan Hao to stop leading the troops to the place.

The emperor pardoned Liu Jing from Guangwu. Said: "I don't need what my husband said, so that I am trapped in Pingcheng. I have beheaded those who spoke in front of me. “

So he sealed Liu Jing with 2,000 households and became the marquis of Guannei. The number is Jianxinjun.

The emperor went south and said: "This county is so magnificent. I walked the world and saw that Luoyang City was as magnificent as him. So he named Chen Ping as the Marquis of Qu Rebellion. Chen Ping went on an expedition with the emperor and had six strange plans, so the emperor added food to him.

In December, the emperor returned to Zhaodi. Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, was very respectful. The emperor proudly scolded him. Zhao Xianggao, Zhao Wu and others were angry. He said, "The king is really a humble prince. Because he said to King Zhao: "The heroes of the world rise together, and those who can stand first." Now the king is so deferential to the emperor, but the emperor is rude to the king. Ask that we kill him for the king. ”

Zhang Aozui pointed out the blood and said, 'Why is Sir talking so nonsense? The ancestors lost the country, and it was the power of the emperor that restored the country, and virtue and righteousness flowed to the descendants, and the country's every bit was due to the power of the emperor. I hope you don't say that in the future. “

Guan Gao, Zhao Wu and the others said: "This turned out to be ours, no." The king is an elder and refuses to betray virtue. But I will not be humiliated by my righteousness, and now the emperor has humiliated my king, so I want to kill him, what does it have to do with the king? If we succeed, we will return to the king, and if we fail, we will be single. ”

The Xiongnu attacked the dynasty, and the acting king Liu Xi abandoned the country and returned to himself. Pardon for the Marquis of Haoyang.

Xin Mao, the prince Ruyi was appointed as the acting king.

In spring and February, the emperor went to Chang'an. Xiao He repaired Weiyang Palace. The emperor was very angry when he saw his magnificence, and said to Xiao He: "Today's world is turbulent, years of hard work, success or failure is not yet known, why is it so excessive and wasteful, repairing this gorgeous palace?" ”

Xiao He said: "It is precisely because the world is undecided that the palace should be repaired. The Son of Heaven takes the four seas as his home, and he is not magnificent. Moreover, the kings of later generations cannot be allowed to surpass the emperor. ”

The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this.

Sima Guang commented: The king regards benevolence and righteousness as magnificence, and morality as divine might. I haven't heard of anyone who fills the world with the magnificence of the palace. The world is undecided, and self-denial should be used to solve the urgent needs of the people, and why does Xiao give priority to governing the palace, how can he be called aware of current affairs? At the beginning, Yu was inferior to the palace room, and the palace was tilted. The king of entrepreneurship and vertical rule, bow to the thrift to show his descendants. In the end, his children and grandchildren were inevitably obsessed with obscenity. How much more to take extravagance as an example? Isn't it a fallacy to say that future generations should not surpass it? When he arrived at Emperor Xiaowu, he was exhausted because of the overhaul of the palace. This is not necessarily due to the precursor of the Hou Hou.

The emperor moved the capital to Chang'an from Shuoyang.

The first official of the sect was placed in the order of the nine clans of the Ming Dynasty. In summer and April, the emperor traveled like Luoyang.
