Chapter 2: The Prince's Harem
During the reign of Emperor Xuan, the prince's harem can be said to be a place where beauties gathered. Even Wang Zhaojun, one of the four beauties later, was in his harem. I have to say that the prince is not shallow. However, like the other eldest sons of the emperor, his position as crown prince was innate, so he was very indulgent and did not know how to cherish it at all.
What seems to be taken for granted, many people will not be able to get it in their lifetime. For example, his younger brother King Huaiyang.
The king of Huaiyang bought off the eunuch Xiaolingzi and said to him: "You only need to let the prince perform the technique of overwhelming victory, and when the prince is deposed, the king will be rewarded." ”
On this day, Emperor Xuan summoned his father-in-law, Xu Guanghan, and said, "Father-in-law, I have nothing else to do with you today, I just hope that you can share my worries." What do you think of the Crown Prince? Can you be the successor of my great man? ”
"The crown prince is benevolent, and his majesty is indeed less than one-ten-thousandth of His Majesty. But what my Han needs is the king of success, not the king of pioneering. Back then, Emperor Xiaowu was also unaccustomed to His Majesty's grandfather, Prince Er, so there would be a witch curse. Xu Guanghan made a generous statement.
"Father-in-law, it seems that I know about the prince." Emperor Xuan of Han said with a smile.
"The crown prince is a good boy, Your Majesty should not really believe that he used the technique of winning to become the emperor, right?" Xu Guanghan whispered.
"Of course not, I have already found out that he hopes to have a child with Concubine Feng." Emperor Xuan of Han said with a smile.
"This, the minister is not very good to comment. However, the crown prince is indeed a man of love and righteousness. Xu Guanghan said with a smile.
In modern times, Wang Mang takes classes in middle school and can't write at all. He wrote a bunch of traditional characters. The Chinese teacher asked, "Wang Ming, did you cross over?" "Miss Wang, that's what I wrote." Wang Mang said.
The class burst into laughter.
Wang Ming always said that the matter of ancient Chinese was spread throughout the school. Wang Ming's mother had to take him to the hospital for a check-up.
When he arrived at the hospital, Wang Ming did CT, MRI, electroencephalogram, electrocardiogram, and electroencephalogram. Wang Ming's mother looked at the physical examination report and said, "No problem." What's wrong with the child? How is it the same as the person who crossed over? ”
Let's talk about the King of Huaiyang. Liu Qin said to his mother Zhang Jieyu: "This time Liu Zheng hid again, and the child really couldn't think of a way." ”
"Child, I have a plan to get His Majesty to abolish Liu Zheng." Zhang Jieyu said with a wicked smile.
On this day, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty came to Taixue in person to discuss national policies with the great Confucians of Chang'an City. The crown prince also sat in his place.
Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty asked me the crown prince: "Prince, you are the future emperor of the Han Dynasty." Do you think that the world of the Han Dynasty should implement all the sons of a hundred schools, which system is the best? ”
"Father, son, I think that my Han should govern the country with virtue, educate the people with Confucian culture, and carry forward the legacy of Confucius and Sage." Liu Zheng talked eloquently. Emperor Xuan of Han's expression became very hideous, and shouted: "Shut up, the Han family has its own system, and the way of the overlord is miscellaneous, so why not use pure morality and Zhou Zhenghu?" ”
Kuang Heng (the benevolent brother who chiseled the wall and borrowed the light) hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the prince's words are not wrong. The system of the Zhou Dynasty could indeed make the country stable for a long time. Otherwise, how could the Zhou Dynasty have been in existence for 800 years? The Qin Dynasty used the Legalist system, which fell out in just fourteen years. “
"Kuang Heng, you are a person who dares to tell the truth, if the prince can be assisted by a virtuous minister like you, even if his ability is mediocre, he can become a wise monarch." Emperor Xuan of Han said with a smile. Xiao Wangzhi said: "Your Majesty, the minister must do his best to assist the prince and make him a Ming monarch admired by all the people." ”
"You're going to forget it, right? A rotten Confucian. You have taught the prince to be like this, and I can't wait to punish you. Emperor Xuan of Han scolded.
Eunuch Honggong and Shi Xian laughed strangely on the side.
Emperor Xuan did not like the system of the Zhou Dynasty. He thought that the system of the Zhou Dynasty was too flashy. And Wang Mang and Emperor Yuan both liked the system of the Zhou Dynasty very much. Therefore, Emperor Yuan and Wang Mang always hoped to use the system of the Zhou Dynasty to govern the world.
Uncle Wang Feng was also in the crowd, thinking: It seems that Your Majesty is not too satisfied with His Royal Highness the Prince. My Wang family is broken bones, and I want the prince to become the emperor.
Speaking of this, my uncle said to me: "Mang'er, our Wang family has today's status, and I have made great efforts, uncle. I hope you study hard and don't embarrass our Wang family. Then, the crown prince continued to talk about the affairs of the period of Emperor Xuan.
After the prince returned to the harem, Feng Yuan said to the prince: "Your Highness, I hurt you this time, if you didn't practice the art of winning at the beginning, you wouldn't be scolded by your father, who has already had a prejudice against you recently." ”
"It's not your fault, my father has always had prejudices against me. If it weren't for the queen mother, my father would have stopped me from being the crown prince a long time ago. The prince burst into tears.
"Your Highness, you can't think like that. You carry the hope of the Queen Mother. Back then, in order to give birth to you, the queen mother was poisoned by the Huo family. You have to be indignant and strong, and be a wise man. Feng Yuan whispered.
On the aunt's side, she said to the maid Xiaobi: "Your Highness's soul has been taken away by Concubine Feng. "Niangniang, Concubine Feng's father is a general, and His Royal Highness is also for someone in the court to help him speak." You have to be considerate of Your Highness's difficulties. Xiaobi explained.
"You don't know His Highness, he is an emotional person. He went to Concubine Feng, it must be for the love of his children, and it is impossible for the sake of military affairs, otherwise his father would not have such a headache. My aunt said wistfully.
The crown prince held Feng Yuan in his arms and whispered, "Feng Yuan, I really don't want to be the emperor." It's really hard to be an emperor. I really want the King of Huaiyang to be the crown prince. However, I also know that once the position of the crown prince is seated, it cannot be given up. Back then, Emperor Xiaojing's crown prince was like this, after he was deposed, he was executed by Emperor Xiaojing. If one day, I am no longer the crown prince, then my father will also execute me. At this point, the prince's eyes were bloodshot.
After Wang Feng finished telling the story of the prince and Concubine Feng, he said, "It's so late. You can also rest. I'm going to Taixue tomorrow. Tomorrow the Xiongnu scholars will also come to listen to the lecture. If you can't answer Mr.'s question in class. You're in for a treat. ”
The next day, the Xiongnu scholar Li Nong came to Taixue to listen to the lecture. Mr. Kong Guang, who is too learned, said with a smile: "Next, please ask the Xiongnu scholar Li Nong to tell the story of the Xiongnu." ”
Li Nong smiled: "I am a descendant of General Li Ling during the period of Emperor Xiaowu. Our Huns have been actively making peace with your Han Dynasty in the past. ”
The gaze turned to the fourth year of Emperor Xuan's reign, that is, in 58 BC. The Xiongnu prince Ji Hou Shan united his father-in-law Wu Chanmu, Zuo Xian Wang and other Xiongnu elders to raise troops against Yan Qu Shan Yu. Due to the single-mindedness of the conquest and the greed for pleasure, the army was defeated for a while.
Ji Hou Shan's elder brother Hu Tu Wusi defected in front of the battle and pursued Da Shan Yu.
Da Shan Yu rode alone and fled in the direction of Wusun. Hutu Wusi drew his bow and arrow, and a cold arrow hit Da Shan Yu.
Da Dan was shot in the back and fell off his horse. Hutuwus's knife was on Da Dan Yu's neck, and he said, "Da Dan Yu, take your life." ”
"Hutuwus, I have always treated you like my own son, why do you want to betray me?" Big order is questioned.
"You killed my father, do you think I don't know? You had an affair with the Zhuan clan, and it was you who poisoned my father. Hutuus retorted. I saw that the scimitar was swung, and Hutuus's head also fell to the ground.
Ji Hou Shan summoned the Xiongnu tribes and was proclaimed as Hu Han Evil Shan Yu. However, the prestige of Hu Han Shan Yu was obviously insufficient. In the winter of this year, Du Longqi and King Youxian jointly established Bo Xu Tang as Tu Qi Shan Yu. The king of Hujie established himself as Hujie Shan Yu. The right king of O's sage set himself up as a chariot plow.
The Huns have always been killing like this, and so have I been the emperor since I became emperor. However, the Xiongnu had a sense of identity with the Han Dynasty from the beginning of Hu Han Evil Shan Yu. So much so that my Great New Empire was not recognized by them.
After Feng Fengshi reported the news of the division of the Xiongnu to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuan said with great joy: "It seems that there is no problem with the frontier of my Han Dynasty. ”
On this day, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty summoned the crown prince again and asked, "Prince, I will test your ability to govern the country again today." Now the Xiongnu are divided into various tribes and attack each other. How do you think the Xiongnu issue should be handled? ”
The prince said without thinking: "Erchen thinks he should be friendly." Nowadays, harmony can be said to be a gift. ”
"The prince's words made me very pleased. Xiao Wangzhi didn't teach you in vain. I will reward him heavily. The eldest son Xiao He is a loose horseman, and the second son Xiao Yu is the prince's concubine. Emperor Xuan of Han said with a smile.
On the Xiongnu side, there was a heated discussion about whether to cooperate with the pro-Han dynasty. The Xiongnu were divided into two factions, one for peace and pro, and the other for peace. Hu Han Xie Shan Yu said: "King Gu thinks that the national strength of the Han Dynasty is far superior to that of our Xiongnu. Harmony is the best policy. "Ji Hou Shan, are you a lackey of the Han Dynasty? Do you want to be Liu Xun's son-in-law? "Hutuwus took the case.
On the prince's side, Xiao Wangzhi said to him: "Your Royal Highness the prince, the old minister thinks that if you can handle the matter of harmony, Your Majesty will definitely affirm your ability to govern the country." ”
The Xiongnu scholar Li Nong finished telling the story.
The audience applauded thunderously. Kong Guang said with a smile: "As a Xiongnu scholar, it is indeed commendable to have such a Chinese ability." ”
I was thinking: What other way can King Huaiyang destroy the harmony? It's a pity that it's not early, and the classmates who are too academic have gone home, and I have gone back too.
The next morning, Li Nong and I both came to Taixue early.
Li Nong and I both love swordsmanship.
The two of us practiced swordsmanship. Li Nong stabbed me with a long sword in hand. I fought with my sword, defeated his sword, stabbed him in the chest, and at the critical moment, I stopped in time.
"Wang Mang's swordsmanship is exquisite. is worthy of being the nephew of the current queen. Aristocracy is just different. Li Nong said with a smile. I vaguely feel that he is satirizing the dictatorship of our royal relatives. I wouldn't have thought that later we would become people from both camps because of the power struggle.
