However, Zhou Yafu is also a person who has read books, and he believes that he has a lot of judgment and reasoning ability in life. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info So he didn't believe that "my brother has inherited my father's throne; If he dies, it should be my brother's son, so how can it be my turn? Besides, if I really made a marquis, a general, and a minister, reaching the extreme of what you said, then how could I starve to death?"

Xu Cheng, as the first phase master of the Han Dynasty, did not argue, just smiled, pointed to a texture on Zhou Yafu's face and said, "These two longitudinal lines on your face, according to physiognomy, this is the appearance of starvation."

Unfortunately, there were no cosmetic surgery hospitals at that time. If it is replaced now, for people who love beauty, there are longitudinal lines on the face that go straight to the mouth, which is also a big disaster. No matter what, you have to smash the pot and sell the pot and go to South Korea to get rid of it! But Zhou Yafu couldn't eliminate the ominous texture on his face, and what was even more terrifying was Xu Ying's physiognomy!

Three years later, Zhou Shengzhi first had an emotional conflict with his princess wife; Secondly, somehow, he killed someone. Although it was not enough to pay for his life, he was deprived of his title and could not pass it on to his children and grandchildren. But a few days later, Liu Heng somehow suddenly remembered the good of the Zhou family. In order not to make the title of the Zhou family go down the drain, he ordered to choose a marquis from among Zhou Bo's sons. Zhou Yafu was selected and named the Marquis.

Let's go back to the scene of the Xiliu Camp again and see how Zhou Yafu staged this big show that was out of the limelight. After the captain of the military gate refused the captain of the emperor's honor guard, Liu Heng was blocked outside the military gate. There was no choice but to send an envoy to General Zhou Yafu with a festival.

At this time, Zhou Yafu rumored to go out and open the door. What's more: when Liu Heng just entered the wall gate, a wall gate soldier stepped forward to warn "The general said that you must not drive in the army"

The doorman's words surprised Liu Heng. But if it comes, it will go with the flow. He had no choice but to rein in his horse and swing slowly. When he shook in front of Zhou Yafu, he saw that Zhou Yafu was also wearing armor, and he didn't bow down, but just bowed his hand, "The minister's armor is on his body, it is inconvenient to kneel and worship, please allow him to see His Majesty with military salutes" Liu Heng couldn't help but be moved, so he bowed his body slightly, and saluted by the style, and the messenger proclaimed that "the emperor respects General Lao" Zhou Yafu led the sergeants to stand on both sides and bowed and thanked. Liu Heng personally instructed a few words, and then left the camp. Zhou Yafu didn't send it off. As soon as the emperor left the camp, he ordered the camp gate to be closed and kept in order.

The whole process can only be described in one sentence to the general Zhou in front of him: cow! It's amazing! But no one knows: Liu Heng at this time was already moved in his heart. When Liu Heng finished working and withdrew from the barracks, he looked up to the sky and sighed, "This is a real general!" The two armies of hegemony and thorniness are like child's play. If attacked by the enemy, the fearor will not be captured. How can there be no gaps like General Zhou?"

Suddenly, Zhou Yafu made Liu Heng find a sense of security that he had never felt before, and even confidence in the victory of the Huns. For many years, he has been looking for the real general, but what he didn't expect was that when he turned to most of China, he suddenly looked back, but that person was at the door of General Zhou's house...

It is precisely because of the strict defense of Zhou Yafu and others that for more than a month, the Hun cavalry has only been wandering around the border, but they dare not go deeper. The two armies are facing each other, and they are obviously in good shape, if you don't beat me, then don't blame me for being polite! So Liu Heng decided to change the passive defense to the active attack and press towards the border! The funny thing is: when the Huns watched the Han soldiers coming, without saying a word, the group of robbers all ran away. The Han army did not force the pursuit, and immediately withdrew and returned home. After returning to China, Zhou Yafu was worshiped as a lieutenant.

So far, Liu Heng has been harassed three times by the Xiongnu Right Xian King, the old Shangshan Yu, and the military minister Shan Yu, and each time he suffered heavy losses, and he was speechless to the sky.

Mencius said: If there is no wise man inside and no enemy outside, the state is often going to perish. From this point of view, Liu Heng is not all losses. Because of the repeated invasions of the Hun wolves, he was taught how to be a good emperor. Especially in recent years, Guo Wuliang has pricked these four words like a needle in his heart, making him feel painful. Liu Heng thought that it would be impossible to complete the training of good generals for the country in this life. It was precisely the military minister Shan Yu's attack that allowed him to find a good general who could entrust the future of the Han Dynasty, and this person was of course Zhou Yafu!

And Zhou Yafu is the general that God asked Liu Heng to dig before he died. For this alone, Liu Heng's many years of shame have not been in vain, and he has fulfilled his great wish. Even if he dies immediately, maybe he will leave with a smile and peace of mind!

In April of the 6th year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (158 BC), the great drought and locust plague seemed to herald a hint of ominous atmosphere in the Han world. Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty issued an edict for the last time: exempt the princes from paying tribute, open the ban on the mountains, reduce the number of servants and officials in the court, send the state warehouse to help the people, and the people can sell the lord for grain.

On June 1, the 7th year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (BC157), since the beginning of spring this year, there has been nothing in the world, no earthquake on the ground, and no stars in the sky. But on this day, there was a news spread throughout Chang'an City: 46-year-old Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty Liu Heng died in Weiyang Palace. Before dying, Liu Heng wrote a long edict about the funeral, but it was summed up in only one sentence: everything is thrifty, there is no need to waste.

A great emperor came to an indifferent end, and six days later, on the 7th, he was buried in the tomb.

To summarize the life of Emperor Wen of Han, four words: immeasurable merits. This is not only my personal evaluation, but almost all historians since Sima Qian have used this term less.

In order to let the people of the world have food and clothing, I listened to the policy of Jia Yi and others to focus on agriculture and personally farmed to set an example. In addition to this, I have abolished many inexplicable exorbitant taxes. The punishments imposed on the people were also withdrawn and changed, and the people were given a relaxed political environment.

It should be said that I have done a clear conscience about this. Because I don't have one thing on the surface, one thing behind me. Since I came to Chang'an to be the emperor, I have been reluctant to wear new clothes, I am reluctant to build a new house, and even my little wife is clamoring for a good piece of cloth to make clothes, I am also reluctant, but let them drag their skirts to the ground.

The history book summarizes the achievements of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty for more than 22 years: "Both bow to the Xuanmo, and the generals are all old heroes, less literature and more quality." Punish the evil and the government of Qin, discuss the affairs of leniency, shame the mistakes of people, turn the world, and admonish the customs. The officials are in peace, the people are happy, the livestock are increasing, and the household registration is interested. The romance is generous, the prohibition is sparse, and the people who are suspected of crime are given to the people. It is a large province with a penal punishment, and as for the four hundred prisons, there is a wind of punishment and error" "The emperor has been on the throne for twenty-three years, and the palace, the garden, the chariot, and the royal service have not benefited. If there is inconvenience, rush to benefit the people. If you want to make a terrace, call the craftsman to plan it, and go straight to a hundred gold. It is said that '100 gold, the property of ten Chinese families.' I serve the palace of the first emperor, and I am often afraid of it. Why is Taiwan 'the body of the cloth. Fortunately, Mrs. Shen is not dressed on the ground. The tent is not embroidered. To show simplicity, for the world's first. Zhiba Mausoleum, all pottery, shall not be decorated with gold, silver, copper, tin, because of its mountain, not grave. King Wu was sick and gave him a few rods. Yuan Ang and others admonished that although they were earnest, they often borrowed and used them. Zhang Wu and others accepted bribes and money, and felt that they were even more ashamed of their hearts. Special affairs to the people of morality. It is to be peaceful in the sea, and the home is sufficient, which is rarely reached by future generations."

I have always respected the lives of every human being. That's why I don't want a war against the Huns!

Speaking of the Huns, I really have a belly full of resentment and grievances. The complaint is that the natural Xiongnu are the natural enemies that promote the evolution of the Han people, so that our country has been harassed, attacked, and plundered repeatedly, it is like a nightmare that can never be waved in the long night!

In later generations, many indignant youths even scolded me for being weak and did not dare to pursue the Xiongnu in depth. The reason why they can scold is because they have counted: In the country during my term of office, after a long period of recuperation, the common people have food and clothing, and they have new ideas in their hearts. This new idea, of course, refers to the fact that the dignity of China can be recovered from the Xiongnu!

In the face of these fragmentary accusations, I thought: in the long river of life, the right to life and the right to dignity are equally important. But if you had to choose which of the two was more important, which one would you choose? Is it the right of the people to exist or the right to national dignity?

Yes, we were plundered and harassed by the Huns three times and twice. But since my father Liu Bang and even the Empress Dowager Lu, our Han Dynasty has basically reached a consistent national development strategy: under the bottom line of national dignity, the unreasonable provocations of the Xiongnu are allowed. Our bottom line is: do not expand the war, and do not cause the country to lose an inch of territory!

Originally, the Huns love to rob, so we will spend some money to eliminate the disaster, which is understandable. Deng Lao once said: If China wants to become rich and strong, it must be obscure for a hundred years. In fact, more than 2,000 years ago, our Han Dynasty did the same. Our temporary rapprochement is nothing more than a stopgap measure. Once the young bird becomes an eagle and the young tiger becomes a king, we can hold our chests up and say: Huns, you wait!

I believe that the people of the Han Dynasty will eventually wait for this day! I lay quietly under the tomb, and I longed to wait for this day! Because we have endured humiliation for generations, this is the day we have been waiting for!

Liu Heng died, and the Han Dynasty had to work again. The first thing to be busy with is, of course, the crown prince ascending the throne and becoming the emperor. On the 9th, the 32-year-old Liu Qi officially ascended the throne as Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, respecting the Bo family as the empress dowager and the Dou family as the empress dowager, and establishing the Bo family of the Empress Dowager Bo as the queen, and the position of the crown prince is temporarily vacant.

In this year, the last king of the Han Dynasty, King Wu of Changsha, died. and the kingdom was destroyed because he had no children. From the Han Dynasty ancestor Liu Bangxi named Wu Rui, the king of Hengshan, as the king of Changsha to the present, Changsha has been passed down for 5 generations and 45 years: Wu Rui, Wu Chen, Wu Hui, Wu You, and Wu Shu.

The second task of the Han Dynasty was to organize a team of experts to evaluate the achievements of the emperor during his lifetime, so that he could wear two important hats: the name of the emperor and the number of the temple.

The so-called nickname refers to the nickname given to the emperor by the expert group after the emperor's death. This scheme was invented by the Zhou Dynasty and has strict specifications and standards. It was later abolished by Qin Shi Huang. After the death of Qin and the Han Dynasty, it was restored by Liu Bang. And the temple number is because for a dynasty, there will be more and more emperors, and these people can't all be squeezed into one temple after death, and new temples must be built. However, a new temple is like building a house, not as high as you want, but as you build it as you want. As a result, each temple has a different temple number. There are two main types of temple numbers: ancestral and zong. Under normal circumstances, only those who fight the country can be called ancestors; Those who sit on the country are all sects. Therefore, Liu Bang is called Han Gaozu. But there are too many emperors in later generations, and they can't just call one zongzi, and they also score different grades.

In October of the first year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (BC157), after the final discussion and decision of the expert group, Prime Minister Shen Tujia led the performance: Liu Heng's nickname was Emperor Xiaowen, and the temple name was Taizong.

The third thing to be busy with in the Han Dynasty was to celebrate the whole world. On April 12, the first year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (BC156), the people of the world were given a first-class knighthood. On the 22nd, amnesty was granted to the world. In May, half of the people's land rent was reduced from 15 taxes to 30 taxes. These are a few of the good things that all emperors must do when they ascend the throne. In addition, Liu Qi also did one more good thing - commutation of punishment.

Regarding punishment, corporal punishment was abolished before Liu Heng's death. However, Liu Qi thinks: This seems to be a light punishment, but it is actually murder! There is a reason why Liu Qi said this. Because Liu Heng stipulated: Anyone who cuts off his left toe will be whipped 500 instead; and he that shall have his nose cut shall be whipped three hundred times. Liu Heng thought that the prisoners of labor reform only suffered a little bit of flesh and skin, and they had less of the pain of short feet and less nose. It's good for everyone. But what about the facts? There are very few of these RTL prisoners who can withstand three to five hundred lashes. Therefore, if you are not whipped to death, you will become crippled, and the lightest will also end up with the sequelae of whipping! As a result, he was originally just missing his feet and nose, but now he was beaten to death. Doing good deeds becomes doing bad deeds!

How does Liu Qi think this will work? So he immediately issued an edict: If you have been beaten with five hundred lashes, you will be beaten with three hundred; 300 lashes, 200 lashes... If no one can withstand the fight, then they will have to reduce each by 100 next time. I think: Liu Qi should have been prepared for such a thought.

The fourth major task of the Han Dynasty was to quickly re-establish peaceful diplomacy with the Xiongnu. In April, Tao Qing, an important minister in the court and one of the three dukes, was ordered to go to the next generation to meet Shan Yu, the military minister of the Xiongnu, to discuss making peace again.

The fifth major event of the Han Dynasty was that the new emperor Liu Qi should promote some of his cronies to important positions in the imperial court: Zhou Ren was the commander of Lang, Zhang Ou was the lieutenant of the court, Chao Cuo was the internal historian, and Liu Li, the son of Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, was Zongzheng.

After this lot of things were busy, it was already in December of the 2nd year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (BC156), Liu Qi issued another edict: order the men of the world to be twenty years old, register in the name, and serve as a servant for the public.

On March 27, the 2nd year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (BC155), Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty named his son Liu De as the king of Hejian, Liu Yan as the king of Linjiang, Liu Yu as the king of Huaiyang, Liu Fei as the king of Runan, Liu Pengzu as the king of Guangchuan, and Liu Fa as the king of Changsha. On April 25, the Empress Dowager Bo died.
