Pingjin Marquis Sun Hong, who has spent most of his life, finally ascended to the throne above 10,000 people under one person at such an age, and he was originally full of ambition and wanted to make a big difference. But since he visited the prime minister, he has realized how difficult it is to be a qualified prime minister in front of today's son.

Don't say that you want to be a powerful minister, you just want to fully fulfill the duties that a prime minister of the Han Dynasty should have, but there are many restrictions. At the beginning, he was still a little unhappy in his heart, the power of the prime minister would be restricted by some newly established departments, which was not in line with the court system set up by Emperor Gaozu at all!

He also had a secret struggle, but after many things, Gongsun Hong finally understood the mind of today's son, the emperor wants to break the stereotype, the imperial power is centralized, not touched, and wants to achieve a great cause. As a result, Gongsun Hong, who had been in the world for a long time, changed his strategy in time, quickly changed his role, and became a rule-abiding minister who catered to the emperor in everything.

Through his covert observations, His Majesty the Emperor was very pleased with the change in his attitude, and not only did he become kind and pleasant, but some rich rewards followed. Gongsun Hong knew that he had guessed correctly, "respect his position and reduce his power, and wealth and wealth are in the hands of the Son of Heaven", which is why he was able to worship the prime minister first and then become a marquis.

In fact, it is also good to be a wealthy Taiping Prime Minister, Gongsun Hong often comforts himself like this. His experience of the vicissitudes of life in the early years made him very open to such things. In fact, in the original history, it was precisely because of his mentality that he was able to die a good death in the position of prime minister, and he was able to enjoy peace and glory after death.

And the prime ministers after him were not as lucky as him, in the decades when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was surprised, he changed more than a dozen prime ministers, and most of them did not end well. Later, the prime minister not only had little power, but also, as the nominal head of a hundred officials, in many cases, became a scapegoat for bearing the charge of mistakes on behalf of the emperor. The prime minister of the Han Dynasty has almost become synonymous with death!

It is no wonder that later, because no one was willing to hold this position, the emperor forcibly announced that he was less a palace guard, accumulated military merits and became a marquis, and worshiped Gongsun He, who was a general who attacked the Huns, seven times as the prime minister, such a veteran general who galloped across the field was stunned. When the waiter held the seal in front of him, he didn't notice it, until the cold prime minister's seal was put in his hand, he woke up like a dream and retreated again and again, refusing to accept it. Seeing that the emperor refused to agree, he fell to his knees, tears flowed, and kept kowtowing, begging the emperor to choose someone else, otherwise he would not be able to kneel for a long time. Emperor Liu Che didn't care about him, didn't say a word, and walked away by himself.

In the face of the Hun iron cavalry, who had never frowned, he was helpless, and after walking out of the door of the main hall with the Xiangyin in his hand, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "I'm finished from now on!"

His hunch wasn't wrong at all. Sure enough, within two or three years, Gongsun He was arrested for his son's crime and was wiped out of the three clans. The prime minister's position has become such a terrifying official position, which can be regarded as a strange miracle in all dynasties.

Gongsun Hong's proposal to prohibit people from holding bows and crossbows at the court meeting today can actually be regarded as a speculation of the holy will. In any case, this is a matter of benefit to the rule of the imperial court, and he believes that it will be carried out.

However, there is only one person in the Manchu Dynasty! In the face of the emperor's inquiry, Shang Shuling of the Great Han Dynasty and Hou Yuanzhao of Changle stood up and walked to the middle of the main hall. Today, on such an occasion, there are some things he wants to say. On the eve of the Han Dynasty about to start the excitement of the four seas and the eight famines, there are some things that he wants to clean up the source and open a correct direction for future generations.

Hearing Yuan Zhao's question, there was a moment of silence in Han Yuan Hall. Many people don't understand what exactly he means by asking this phrase. His Majesty the Emperor was asking him about his attitude towards the forbidden crossbow, why did this little marquis suddenly turn the topic to the origin of mankind?

"Yuanqing, I have also been familiar with history books, although the ancient ancestors did not know exactly where it originated, but from Ru Mao drinking blood to let wild beasts invade, to learning to make simple wood and stone utensils to protect themselves, these ancient books have still been recorded, and I also know a little about it."

Seeing that no one spoke for a long time when the courtiers were staring at each other, Emperor Liu Che finally couldn't help it, he looked at Yuan Zhao with a calm demeanor with confusion in his heart, and didn't know what kind of truth he would say next.

"Your Majesty is well-read and admirable! Yes, the purpose of human beings learning to make weapons is to protect their own safety. In the era of the ancestors, there were no houses and villages, let alone the protection of castles. People are unclothed and live on grass and trees. Men made simple weapons from branches and stones, which were used to defend themselves and their women and children from the attacks of wild beasts, and at the same time they could be used to kill prey and serve as food for survival, which is the origin of the first weapons of man....... ”

The ministers in the palace listened to him talking, and some of them nodded slightly. There are many well-educated people among them, and they naturally know these things very well. Even some military attachés who don't know history books have the right to listen to the story, but they find it interesting.

“…… Our ancestors relied on rudimentary sticks and stones as weapons for defense and hunting, so that they were able to multiply and begin to evolve gradually. With the passage of time and the passage of time, human beings have gradually grown, and the weapons in their hands have gradually become stronger. From wood and stone, it finally evolved into bronze, iron and other materials. Sharp weapons such as knives, guns, hammers, and axes began to appear, and this was a major ...... of progress. ”

After the case in the corner of Hanyuan Palace, a young historian named Sima Qian recorded it word for word, and he was very surprised in his heart. He has been well-read since he was a child, and he has been able to read a large number of classical books by taking advantage of the convenience of the Taishi Order, and he can already be regarded as a knowledgeable person, but now when he listens to Yuan Zhao talk about these things, even he feels very fresh. The little marquis is still so young, where did he get the knowledge in his belly?

“…… It can be seen from this that the original intention of human beings to make weapons is not to harm their own kind, but to prohibit violence and evil spirits! They don't hurt people, they protect people. When they live and work in peace, they are used to hunt for extraordinary needs. If something is critical, rely on them to protect your ....... ”

Yuan Zhao's words echoed in the main hall, and more and more people's hearts began to be touched, and they felt that they seemed to be beginning to understand the truth that Yuan Zhao wanted to tell. But listening to Yuan Zhao's words, he turned sharply and became gradually excited.

"It's just that after the three generations of holy kings, with the development of society and the gradual improvement of productivity, human beings began to have selfish desires. Weapons, from then on, began to reveal their cold and bloodthirsty side! When the Zhou Dynasty gradually declined, the world was divided into thousands of vassal states, attacking each other, bullying the weak with the strong, bullying the widowed with the crowd, and the world was in chaos. ......The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period lasted for hundreds of years, and the exchanges between countries did not distinguish between justice and morality, and only aimed at killing and winning the battle. ”

Emperor Liu Che's expression moved slightly, soldiers, ominous omen! He has known this for a long time, so in his heart now, he is still very cautious about sending troops to conquer. However, he also knew that Yuan Zhao said this today not to say that the war was cruel, but should have another purpose.

"Changle Hou, what do you say about this, what does it have to do with the discussion of banning crossbows? Hum! The sages of Guan Zi Shangjun said that the way of the Son of Heaven, the so-called herdsmen, and the people under the heavens are like a flock of sheep, which needs to be herded by the court. To make them more docile and obedient, you must not let them grow horns, and the weapons of the bow and crossbow are their horns. Your Majesty, in Wei Chen's opinion, not only bows and crossbows must be forbidden for private ownership, but even swords and the like must be well restricted! ”

A person next to him stood up proudly, looked at Yuan Zhao coldly, and interrupted him. But it was none other than the imperial historian Zhang Tangye.

Yuan Zhao glanced at this political enemy with contempt, since he had just stepped into the court of the Great Han, this guy began to oppose him, and the contradictions between the two sides have been going on for a long time. He finds fault at every opportunity, although he has suffered several big losses, he still becomes more and more courageous, and he can be regarded as a ruthless character.

"Lord Zhang Tang is famous for being good at the laws of the Han Dynasty, but he didn't expect that the words he said would be so stupid, it was simply ridiculous!" Yuan Zhao has always been unceremonious to his enemies, whether they are political enemies or enemies in the killing field, he has never been soft.

The two are already old rivals, their status is about the same as each other, and they are used to cynicism with each other. Zhang Tang didn't get angry when he heard him sneer, but just laughed a few times.

"Haha! Yuan Zhao, then you are telling a convincing truth? What's the use of just saying big empty words? There is no doubt that the proposal to ban crossbows is a great plan to make the world stable. Hum! Why, have you forgotten what your injuries are? ”

Zhang Tang snorted coldly in his nose, others didn't know what happened a few days ago, but he had already heard Tingwei Du Zhou tell him in detail. Yuan Zhao was seriously injured and almost died, and gloated for a long time.

Hearing his taunt, Yuan Zhao didn't care, he just smiled faintly.

"Okay, in that case, let's not talk about the far, then let's talk about the near. I think, how powerful the Qin Dynasty is, everyone will not forget, right? After the first emperor annexed the world, unified the six countries, and established a powerful dynasty, for the foundation of the eternal generations, he used extremely tyrannical means to abolish the royal road, punish heavily, destroy benevolence and righteousness, kill heroes, burn books and pit Confucianism, prohibit private soldiers, gather the iron of Kyushu in the world, and melt it into a tripod, so as to prevent the people of the world from using soldiers and armor to cause chaos. But what about then? However, in just a few decades, the decree does not work, thieves are everywhere, the world is in chaos, the people are not happy, and those who are the first to rise up and destroy the Qin Dynasty still need swords and armor! ”

The pen recorded in Sima Qian's hand was trembling excitedly, and in the Hanyuan Hall of the Weiyang Palace of the Han Dynasty, there was a dignified and upright voice, which was deafening and deafening, and engraved in history!
