The mausoleums of several emperors of the Han Dynasty are not too far from Chang'an City. Except for the tomb of Emperor Wen on the south bank of the Wei River in the eastern suburbs, the rest are buried on the Xianyang Plateau on the north bank of the Wei River.

Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty advocated simplicity all his life, and always thought about the well-being of the people. On the day of the big day, he deliberately left an edict, and there is no need to build a mausoleum in accordance with the royal system after his death, and the mountain is the mausoleum and the coffin can be accommodated. This great emperor was revered by later generations as a benevolent and virtuous king, and he lived up to his name.

Of course, no one can make their own decisions about what is behind them. Nor could his children and grandsons make the emperor's mausoleum so shabby. Although in the end, against his last wishes, the tomb built on the mountain is still majestic, but the majesty of the empire and the face of the royal family are reflected in these aspects, and it is not allowed to be careless.

The dead are gone! No matter what kind of posthumous reputation is no longer known. A hundred years are easy, the grass and trees are turned to ashes, and the virtuous emperors are buried in the ground, whether they listen to it or not, their successors will still come to pay tribute on time to tell these ancestors some holy virtues or glory.

As a part of the Winter Solstice Festival, the sacrifice to the mausoleum temple is originally a major content, not to mention, the recent Han Dynasty has achieved a series of outstanding achievements, and it is necessary to tell the ancestors well.

After the completion of a series of tedious ceremonies, the emperor Liu Chezhi was complacent, he had great ambitions since he was a child, and made a vow that since he was an emperor, he inherited the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains handed down by his ancestors, and naturally he had to play it well. What is Emperor Gaozu's merits? What is the merit of Qin Shi Huangdi? It must be surpassed! Create an unprecedented situation to live up to the honor of the lord of the nine continents.

From the long tomb of Han Gaozu to the tomb of Emperor Wen of Han, he stood on a high place, overlooking the Guanzhong Plain, the snow fell vast and flat for thousands of miles, and when the pride in the chest was born, Chang'an flew to the horse and rushed to, and first sent the news of the great victory of Yanmen Pass.

The emperor looked up to the sky and laughed, and all the ministers with him shouted long live and congratulated enthusiastically. The victory came so heartily that Yixue's humiliation of the siege of Mayi was the revenge of the siege of Emperor Gaozu Bai Mountain. The majestic hegemony of the Han Empire began from here, and the ancestors under their feet should also be pleased.

However, before the celebration of the garrison began, the Yulin general Li Dang arrived on horseback. The news he brought made the atmosphere calm down all of a sudden. When the attendants close to him secretly looked at His Majesty the Emperor's face, they all felt that a storm might be coming.

Li Kang, who rushed to report the news, didn't know much about the situation behind it, and even so, Emperor Liu Che had already noticed many unusual things from these simple messages. With a wave of his hand, the wind and clouds changed abruptly. Soon, the guards of the "Xifeng Guard" sent out collected and brought back all kinds of information he wanted to know.

Just after hearing that the joy of the great victory at Yanmen Pass was covered by heavy dark clouds, both the emperor himself and his cronies and courtiers such as Dongfang Shuo and others were immediately keenly aware that if this matter was not handled well, perhaps the consequences would be very serious.

Emperor Liu Che rubbed his forehead and glanced at several courtiers with different expressions. What kind of character Yuan Zhao guy is, through what he did in the past, everyone already understands it deeply. And now he personally led the troops in the front to fight bloodily, defeated the strong enemy, opened up the territory, and his own home, but was set on fire ......? How this matter ends, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to give up when he comes back!

But what needs to be dealt with most now is to stop the further fermentation of this matter as soon as possible, and talk about everything else later. Therefore, the emperor immediately made a decision and ordered Li Dang to immediately lead a part of the Yulin army in his car, and go to Changle Plateau as quickly as possible to prevent a more serious conflict.

Without the order of the Son of Heaven, even the men and horses of the Northern Army battalion were dispatched? The nature of the matter is already serious. Dongfang Shuo, who was beside him, took a step forward and said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, the people in the Northern Army camp have always been unruly, even if General Li Dang arrives in time, I'm afraid they will ......."

This sentence is poking at the thorn in Emperor Liu Che's heart. The large battalion of the Northern Army, like a stubborn fortress, relied on intertwined forces and formed interest groups. Some of the generals in the battalion, even the chief generals personally sent by the emperor have disobeyed the yin and yang, formed gangs, and have changed several main generals, but they are all trapped and unable to open the situation, and they cannot completely do what they command. The emperor had long wanted to rectify it thoroughly, but because of all kinds of resistance, it was not possible. Today is a great opportunity! Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, nodded to Dongfang Shuo, and then beckoned to the secret.

"Lao Feng, you follow along! Take this sword with you, you know what to do, right? ”

"By Your Majesty's will, the old slave understands! We must live up to our mission. ”

The commander of the West Fengwei named Feng Yanzhi bowed down and took the sword of the Son of Heaven, the iron palm was like a hook, although the sword in his hand was light and fluttering, but once it was unsheathed, it would be angry and thunderous, and it would be as heavy as a thousand pounds!

"How unreasonable! I didn't leave the palace for two days, and this happened. If it weren't for Li Dare to report, I would still be kept in the dark! What is this trying to do? Hum! I don't take me seriously...... You're doing great things! ”

The emperor's voice was low and resentful. Although he did not name him, he knew what he was talking about.

Dongfang Shuo peeked at his face and sighed, with deep worry in his heart. Those who have great wisdom can observe words and colors, be meticulous, and can see what people can't see, and check what people can't. The emperor did not immediately say what to do with the culprit, which already explained a lot of things.

Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, is the first prince of the river today, and the brother who grew up with the emperor since childhood. Li Yannian, the younger brother of Li Wanyu, the most favored beauty in the harem, is also a favored person who serves the emperor. What's more, there is also the shadow of the Queen Mother behind this...... Facing the reality, in addition to anger, His Majesty the Emperor's heart is probably inclined to be muddy at the first time, right?

Sure enough, as he expected, after Li Dang and Feng Yanzhi left, after a little silence, the emperor stretched his brows slightly, as if he had made up his mind. He ordered the guards to summon them separately, so that the dozen or so important ministers who came with him would come to discuss the matter immediately.

For such a major event as the Winter Solstice Festival Sacrifice to the High Temple, important ministers of the DPRK and China generally have to accompany them without special reasons. Originally, a series of ceremonies had been carried out, and he could return to Chang'an in the second half of the afternoon, when he suddenly heard His Majesty the Emperor call urgently, and he didn't understand what was going on to be so urgent. Could it be the victory of Yanmen Pass? Then you can wait until you go back and think about it in the court. Therefore, with speculation in their hearts, they came to the emperor.

"Zhuqing, the victory of Yanmen Pass, the defeat of the Xiongnu by the soldiers of my Han family, you all know about this matter, right?"

The ministers were relieved, and it was really because of this incident. Although the emperor was a little impatient, it was understandable that after all, it was an unprecedented victory, and it was worth congratulating in advance. Dongfang Shuo and others, who knew the emperor's intentions earlier, secretly praised the emperor's clever methods in their hearts, and quietly took the victory at Yanmen Pass as an opportunity to start the layout.

However, before they could praise the congratulatory message together, Emperor Liu Che had already spoken first.

"Okay, don't say anything else for now. Now I have a few decisions that I need to do right away. ”

The ministers swallowed the words that came to their lips, raised their heads and listened to His Majesty's will, not understanding what orders needed to be so impatient. At this time, the curtain moved slightly, and the crown prince Liu Ju walked in, he didn't know what was going on, he was laughing with Mrs. Wei in the back, and the emperor sent someone to call him over. Before he could salute, Liu Che waved his hand and asked him to stand there and listen. The prince was naturally confused, and stood beside him in an orderly manner.

"I have decided to reward all the soldiers who participated in the Xiongnu battle in northern Xinjiang this time. Prime Minister, you must come up with a charter as soon as possible, and this matter must be done safely before my victorious soldiers. Remember, it's a big prize! Don't follow the old precedents of the previous dynasties, but break the rules. Got it? ”

Prime Minister Sun Hong nodded in agreement, indicating that he understood. He glanced at several of his colleagues, all secretly envious in their hearts. Listening to the meaning of the emperor's words, this time it is to be rewarded, if you refer to the reward specifications of the previous counterinsurgency such as Dongyue and Southwest Yi, then there may be a large number of meritorious people in the army who can be knighted this time. The blood-stained hairpin is immediately sealed, which is really enviable and admirable!

"Also...... Whether it is the destruction of the real fan, or the victory over the Huns, there is one person who has made great contributions! Alas, if it weren't for Emperor Gaozu who made a White Horse Alliance for future generations, the Liu family would not have been crowned king...... I'm a little embarrassed! Prime Minister, Imperial Doctor, tell me, how should you reward this? Hehe! ”

What's what? That's right! The emperor wants to reward him with the throne? Although there is a twist in the meaning of the words, as long as there is this thought, it is a great event! Although he did not name it, everyone present certainly knew who he was talking about.

"Your Majesty, although the Marquis of Changle Yuanzhao has made outstanding contributions this time, he is already a knight of the Marquis of Wanhu, and it is not appropriate to reward him with a knighthood. What's more, he is still young and has risen too high, I am afraid it will not be a blessing! I hope that Your Majesty will be enlightened. ”

Prime Minister Sun Hong's eyes rolled, his heart moved, and he didn't speak immediately. Imperial Doctor Zhang Tang couldn't help it. Hearing that Yuan Zhao had made such a world-class feat, the envy and jealousy in his heart almost made his eyes bloodshot red, and he almost blurted out a curse Yuan Zhao died early!

When the crown prince Liu Ju heard this, he finally understood what was going on, it turned out that Yanmen Pass had completely defeated the Huns! Brother Yuan, you are too powerful! His eyebrows fluttered in excitement, and looking at Zhang Tang's jealous look, he couldn't help but sneer on his lips. However, the emperor's subsequent words surprised him again.

"Zhang Tang, there is no need to say more about this matter. Since he can't be crowned king, I will reward him with another marquis! The glory of double waiting should be a special case. That one...... Yuanzhao's Hou Mansion was burned down last night, and I want to build him a new mansion, so I'll leave this matter to you to supervise. In addition, Prince, I ordered you and the Prime Minister to set off immediately to Yanmen to reward the three armies, and by the way, look at the kid and tell him what I mean...... ”
