In the Chongde Palace, Liu Hong looked at the courtiers who knelt down to congratulate him with a proud face, and it was conceivable how good his mood was at the moment.

Killed more than 20,000 Xianbei people, and Hu Chief Tan Shihuai gave the head, all of which happened in Liu Hong's reign for a long time, so that Liu Hong, who has always liked to compare with Emperor Weizong Xiaohuan, the Ming monarch, is very happy. You must know that Xianbei is a headache that Emperor Huan has not solved, and now the unified Xianbei Tanshi Huai was defeated and killed by the Han army after he took power, what a wonderful thing for him.

"Zhao Weihao and Fuliuchuan have made great contributions, reward the list and take the map." With joy in his heart, Liu Hong shouted excitedly, and then asked Yuan Yu, the regular attendant, to get the map of Xuzhou. After Yuan Yu heard this, his heart tightened, his face was quite unnatural, and he delayed his efforts and slapped Yuan Feng, the eunuch behind him and the imperial servant Yuan Feng, Fuquan was his great enemy, how could he let him be so easily sealed as a marquis, and then be favored by His Majesty?

"Your Majesty, no." Zhao Jiao said in a panicked tone, he was a member of the eunuch Zhao Zhong's clan.

Suddenly stopped, Liu Hong asked with a gloomy face, "Why not?" ”

Zhao Jiao was stunned for a moment, in fact, he was quickly admonished by Zhao Zhong's eyes, how could he have a countermeasure for a while, but at this time, he let him think, and hurriedly said: "In the third year of Xiping, Xianbei entered the north, and Taishou Xia Yu led the slaughter of each to pursue, and broke it, and only moved to protect the captain of Wuhuan, how the battle of Liaoxi is the same, if the two of them are listed, it will be unfair......

"Why didn't Qing mention Chief Hu Tan Shi Huai to give the head? Since the first emperor, Tanshi Huai unified Xianbei after the Kou side innumerable, for the dynasty of great trouble, often make the first emperor worried, today the two led the crowd to kill Chief Hu, how can it be the same as Xia Yu? Liu Hong pointed to the battle report that returned to the eunuch's hand at this time and said angrily.

In the battle report written by Zhao Bao, the battle was clearly stated, Liucheng ordered Fuquan to be trapped in the lonely city, defeated Xianbei 30,000 sieges, and killed nearly 10,000, and Zhao Bao himself led 20,000 county soldiers to break Xianbei 20,000 horses, and awarded the head Hu Chief Tanshi Huai almost all annihilated the Hu people, this feat is indeed incomparable to Xia Yu, at least he did not take the head of Tanshi Huai.

Zhao Jiao in the hall suddenly panicked, only to see that he was silent, I didn't know what to say, fortunately at this time, the servant Yuan Feng came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that this matter is impossible." ”

Liu Hong said angrily: "What do you say? ”

"In the past, when Emperor Xianzong Xiaoming, Geng Jianwei was trapped in the lonely city of the Western Regions with hundreds of people, swore not to surrender, dug mountains and wells, cooked bows and crossbows, killed and injured thousands of Hu people, resisted the 20,000 army of the Huns for a year, loyal and brave, did not disgrace the Han Dynasty, Gongzhi righteousness, ancient and modern, Su Wu, after the Suzong Xiaozhang Emperor ascended the throne, and did not seal the marquis because of his merits. Yuan Feng said in a loud voice.

Emperor Xianzong Xiaoming is Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty, Emperor Xiaozhang of Suzong is Emperor Liu Wei of the Han Dynasty, Geng Jianwei is the general of Jianwei Geng Gong, the word Bozong, Fufeng Maoling people, is praised as the righteousness of the Emperor Su Wu, is the famous general of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty. His uncle was a famous general of the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty and one of the 28 generals of Yuntai.

Liu Hong frowned slightly, Yuan Feng was right, if compared with Geng Gong's merits, Zhao Bao and Fuquan would indeed be insufficient even if they had Chief Hu. After all, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, he has attached great importance to filial piety and righteousness, and Geng Gong's military achievements are also great, and he has not been crowned a marquis with such integrity, and he can't say that he can make Zhao Bao and Fuquan marquis.

"That being the case, that's it. However, the merit of breaking Xianbei has to be rewarded, Yang Shi, Zhao Weihao has been in Liaoxi for several years? What is the political performance? Liu Hong asked.

Situ Yang replied: "After a year now, the political achievements are acceptable, the resistance is majestic, and the reputation is vibrating. ”

"Before Zhao Weihao was appointed to Liaoxi, what was the official? What is the political performance? ”

"For the Guangling Order, I will look at things for three years, and my politics and religion will be clear."

Liu Hong nodded, with a smile on his face, and then looked at Zhao Zhong beside him and said, "Zhao Changshi, I didn't expect that the Ru family would have such a famous general, it's really fortunate." ”

Zhao Zhong smiled unnaturally and said, "Slave and maid, thank Your Majesty for your praise." "His heart is very unhappy, except for the emperor, no one in the outside world knows that his clan brother is deeply ashamed of himself and does not associate with himself, but at this time Liu Hong praised, he must respond, no one is changed, his heart will not be happy.

Then Liu Hong said to the hundred officials: "Zhiliaoxi Taishou Bao is the general of the five officials, and the Lingquan of Liucheng is the general of the Yulin Zhonglang, and he will bring the head of Chief Hu to Beijing on the same day." ”

"Your Majesty, no." The servant Yuan Feng hurriedly came out of the queue.

"What's the matter?" Liu Hong's face was not good, and he was disturbed by the courtiers several times in a row, and no matter how good his mood was, he was gone.

Yuan Fengdao: "Liu Chengling is young and has just taken office, and this time he was promoted, I am afraid that it will be unfair. "Fu Quan has already offended the Yuan family ruthlessly, Yu Lin Zhonglang will have a rank of two thousand stones, and the position is not trivial, how can Yuan Feng let Fu Quan be promoted, if so, how will the Yuan family retaliate in the future?

As soon as the words fell, I heard Liu Hong shouting: "I want to take care of my family affairs?" If there is any more false opinion, his crime should be punished! ”

……

Looking at the silent ministers, Liu Hong snorted coldly, threw off his sleeves and left, leaving everyone looking at each other and being speechless for a long time.

Yuan Feng complained in his heart, he patronized to stop Liu Hong, but he forgot Fuquan's identity as a relative, he is the emperor's family, even if he is useless, it is beyond reproach to be promoted to an important position in the army, not to mention that there is a great victory in Liaoxi now, and he has been favored by His Majesty since he was a child, this matter must be unavoidable, is it not asking for hardship or how to stop it yourself?

Liu Hong, who returned to the palace at this time, had an unusually bad complexion, he could finally compare with Emperor Huan, but he was blocked by the courtiers in every way, and it was strange that he could have a good mood. Since his accession to the throne, Emperor Liu Hong has always had a knot in his heart, that is, the first emperor Xiaohuan Emperor Liu Zhi, because Emperor Huan had no children after his death, and the Dou family needed a puppet, by chance, it was his turn to win the throne from this powerless and down-and-out clan.

Don't look at Liu Hong's mouth has been ridiculing Emperor Huan for "not being able to do home", as the emperor has no money, and he doesn't even dare to build a large number of buildings in the palace, but in his heart, he has always regarded Emperor Huan as the target in his heart. After all, only when you remember a person, will you always put him on your lips, otherwise you will forget 108,000 miles long ago.

Looking at the life of Emperor Liu Zhi of the Han Dynasty, he can only be evaluated by the wise monarch of the Tao, and it is shameless to be listed as a faint monarch together with Emperor Ling in the history books, and it is even more ridiculous that there are so-called historians in later generations who agree with this point of view, which is really unknown. It is true that Emperor Ling did a lot of untrustworthy and unrighteous things in the later period, but he was not an incompetent and faint monarch, and listed Emperor Huan as a faint monarch, except for being smiling and generous, there was nothing else.

Liu Zhi was a distant relative of the clan and was named the Marquis of Liwu. When he was fifteen years old, good luck suddenly hit Liu Zhi's head, and the Empress Dowager Liang decided to marry her sister Liang Nuying to him, and Liu Zhi rushed to Luoyang, before becoming a groom official, and got a good news of five thunders - he was going to be the emperor.

At the beginning, Emperor Shun of Han died, and Emperor Liu Bing, who was only two years old, was put on the throne and died less than a year later. Empress Dowager Liang, who controlled the government, and her brother, the general Liang Ji, selected an eight-year-old child Liu Zhang from the imperial family as the emperor, who was the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

The young Emperor of Han had a deep understanding of Liangji. In front of the minister in the court, Chong Liang Ji said the famous sentence "This is a general", Liang Ji was terrified and sent someone to poison Emperor Han to death. As a result, Liu Zhi, who was not of high status and had a relationship with his in-laws, unexpectedly got the emperor's throne.

After Liu Zhi succeeded to the throne, Liang Ji "knew the details" of the affairs in the apartment, and his first few years as emperor were completely hollowed out by Liang Ji. And Liu Zhi knew that the Liang family's relatives were extremely powerful, and they could not resist hard, but only forbearance, so they greatly rewarded the Liang family for their "support", and the Liang family alone reached one percent of the country's population.

Facts have proved that Emperor Han Huan is a soft-minded person, knowing that everything cannot be admitted, and everything has a strategic problem. He never complained, rewarded Liang Ji constantly, and often visited Liang's house. He knew that as time went on, the emperor's power would always grow.

Later, when the time was ripe, Liang Ji heard that Emperor Huan had been going to the toilet for too long, and instructed his cronies to enter the palace to spy on the news, and was arrested by Gu Ying on charges of plotting misdeeds. Liu Zhi brazenly staged a coup d'état and ascended to the front hall of the palace and issued an edict: Liang Ji intended to rebel...... quickly swept away the Liang family's relatives, and during this period, he made an unprecedented move - a blood alliance with the eunuchs and formed a comrade-in-arms who shared life and death.

After that, there were eunuchs who were later criticized by the historian for one day to be named "five marquis", that is, the five eunuchs of Shan Chao, Xu Huang, Gu Yuan, Zuo Yi, and Tang Heng were named the marquis of Wanhu, and later eight eunuchs such as Hou Lan and Zhao Zhong were added as the marquis. And this reward is also the most generous reward for eunuchs in history, especially Shan Chao, who was awarded 20,000 households, and was crowned a general of the Che Cavalry. Therefore, people in later generations said that Emperor Huan of Han favored eunuchs.

After Liu Zhi came into power, the government and military affairs of the DPRK and the country were thriving, and it can be said that the people were in good weather, the economy was developing rapidly, and the riots almost disappeared. Moreover, the foreign war and successive victories, the registered population soared to more than 56 million, plus the hidden population and ethnic minorities, it should be more than 60 million people, the most in the Western Han Dynasty, and the later Tang Dynasty is on par, reaching the upper limit of the land carrying capacity of ancient China, which is the "Taikang Prosperous Era" of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty more than 100 years later, and the population is only 16 million people.

In terms of viewing Liu Zhi's majesty and life, except for lust, which is the problem of most Ming monarchs in previous dynasties, other aspects can be described as perfect. In order to raise military expenses, he was stunned to exhaust all the money from within, so that there was no money to repair the palace, the officials would ask the common people to be merciful, the scholars could criticize the emperor at will, the eunuchs would donate money for the country's war, the soldiers would eat dead horse meat, drink snow water, and fight for 2,000 miles to kill the enemy, and the field tax maintained a low level of 30 taxes and 1. When the disaster occurred, Liu Zhi repeatedly issued an edict that the counties and counties without the disaster should store food for the hungry people, and everyone in the world is a family, and the people live a good life, which is the treasure of the country, and exhorted the people not to make wine, and pay attention to saving food.

Can such an emperor be the faint monarch in the history books? I'm afraid that many Ming monarchs can't do it, so Liu Hong has always liked to compare with Emperor Huan after succeeding to the throne, comparing which emperor doesn't like fame? In the response of Yang Qi, who became famous later, didn't he ask Yang Qi how he compared with Emperor Huan?
