Frontier Turmoil

When the crown prince Liu Yi saw that his mother Guo Shengtong was deposed, he knew that the general trend had gone. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Under the persuasion of Zhi Yun, he decided to ask Liu Xiu to resign as the crown prince. Liu Xiu kept shaking his head in disagreement at first. Liu Yi resigned, resigned, resigned, resigned... Liu Xiu remained silent and did not answer...

For more than a year and a half, the crown prince Liu Yi has repeatedly resigned, saying that he is willing to be demoted to become a prince, and the crown prince will be left to the son born to the queen Yin Lihua... Finally, on June 26, Liu Xiu nodded, abolished Liu Yi's position as the crown prince, and changed his title to the king of the East China Sea. But Liu Yi was a good boy, so Liu Xiu told him, "The throne is for you, but you don't have to rush to the country, you can stay in Luoyang and have more fun" At the same time, Liu Xiuli made his fourth son, the eldest son born to Yin Lihua, and Liu Yang, the king of the East China Sea, the crown prince, and renamed Liu Zhuang.

After that, Liu Xiu named Yin Lihua's elder brother Yin Zhi as the ruling Jinwu and his younger brother Yin Xing as the guard captain to tutor the prince. Feng Huanrong was the speaker and taught the prince's scriptures. Ordered Zhong Xing to teach the crown prince and the kings "Spring and Autumn", and gave Zhong Xing the title of Marquis of Guannei. Zhong Xing's resignation was fruitless, Liu Xiu said, "You educate the prince and the kings for me, isn't this a great achievement" Zhong Xing replied, "This is all taught to me by my master Ding Gong", so Liu Xiu ordered Ding Gong to be rewarded, but Zhong Xing still stubbornly did not accept it.

On September 21, Liu Xiu traveled to Nanyang County, and then went to Nandun County, Runan County. Liu Xiu's father, Liu Qin, was the commander of Nanton County. Liu Xiu held a cocktail party in his father's county house that year, gave the people to the people, and ordered Nanton County to be exempted from land rent for one year on the spot. The elders of Nanton County kowtowed and said, "I am willing to be exempted from ten years", Liu Xiudao: "The world is heavy, and I am often afraid of it." I can't have predicted what will happen in ten years," Nanton County officials said again, "Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live, long live, why bother to be humble," Liu Xiu laughed and decided to waive it for another year. After that, Liu Xiu visited Huaiyang, Liang, Pei and other counties.

The Southwest Yidong silkworm united with various tribes to rebel last year and attacked and killed the chief. After the defeat of Yizhou Taishou Fansheng, he retired to Zhuti County. This year, Liu Xiu ordered Liu Shang to lead an army to quell the rebellion. On the way to march, you have to pass through Yueshan County, where Ren Gui, the king of Qionggu, is located. Ren Gui feared that once the Han Dynasty put down this rebellion, it would then come against him. So he decided to strike first, and in the name of ****, he wanted to assassinate Liu Shang and the Han army with poisonous wine. Who knew the conspiracy was leaked. In December, Liu Shang preemptively occupied Yueshan County to govern Qiongdu County and attacked and killed Ren Gui.

This year, Liu Xiu ordered the renovation of the Chang'an Palace and the reinstatement of the Hanguguan Governor.

Liu Xiu's eldest sister, Liu Huang, the princess of Huyang, has been widowed at home since Song Hong refused to marry. Liu Xiu was also very merciful and generously gifted property, so Princess Huyang's family raised hundreds of domestic slaves, and it was inevitable that there would be good and bad people. Even after the pale head killed people during the day, he hid in the princess's house, and the local officials did not dare to go in and arrest him. Including Luoyang Ling Dong Xuan, he could only wait outside the princess's gate every day, hoping to have the opportunity to bring the murderer to justice on the spot. Finally, here's your chance...

On this day, Princess Huyang went out on an outing and let this cangtou be her own ride. Dong Xuan also happened to be waiting in the Xiamen Pavilion this day, and when he saw the murderer going out, he immediately stepped forward, stopped the car and knocked on the horse, drew the ground with a knife, and directly reprimanded Princess Huyang for the crime of covering up, and sternly told the man to get out of the car, and directly killed the murderer in front of the princess!

Liu Huang, the princess of Huyang, immediately returned to the palace to see her third brother Liu Xiu, the emperor, crying. Liu Xiu couldn't help but be angry, summoned Dong Xuan into the palace, accused him of the crime of colliding with the princess, and wanted to kill him to make the princess angry. Dong Xuan kowtowed and said, "The minister has a word, and he is willing to die after speaking" Liu Xiu asked "What words" Dong Xuan said, "Your Majesty is holy and virtuous, but he has made the princess set on slaves and kills people, how will this govern the world?" The minister finished speaking. There is no need to kill, just the minister will die on this hall by himself" After speaking, he hit his head against the pillar and bled all over his face. Liu Xiu hurriedly asked Xiao Huangmen to pull Dong Xuan and said, "It's good if you just kowtow to the princess to accompany you", but Dong Xuanning refused to kowtow. Liu Xiu asked Xiao Huangmen to hold Dong Xuan's head, wanting to force him to speak to the princess. Unexpectedly, Dong Xuan was on the ground with both hands, and he refused to bow down.

Liu Huang, the princess of Huyang, also spoke when she saw this scene: "When the third brother was dressed in white, he was still hiding outlaws at home, and the servants did not dare to come to the door. Now that you are the Son of Heaven, can't you make an order?" Liu Xiuxiao replied, "The Son of Heaven is different from the white clothes", turned his head and said to Dong Xuan, "You are really a strong order." It's okay, you can go out" For this matter, Liu Xiute gave Dong Xuan 300,000 yuan, and Dong Xuan gave all the money to his subordinates. Since then, the name of the strong order has been the power of the Jingshi. Dong Xuan fought strongly, and Jingshi was terrified.

On April 3, the 20th year of Jianwu (44), Da Situ Dai was imprisoned and died because of the case of Taicang Ling Xi Shen. Another of the three princes, Dou Rong, was also implicated and dismissed. On May 4, the great Sima Wu Han died, and the funeral was like the story of the Western Han Dynasty Great Sima Huoguang. When Wu Han was seriously ill, Liu Xiu came to visit. Wu Han's last words were "The ministers are ignorant and have little knowledge." May Your Majesty be careful not to be pardoned"

In May, the Xiongnu invaded Shangdang and Tianshui counties, and the rangers even penetrated deep into the territory of Youfufeng.

In May, Liu Xiu committed a dizzy illness and summoned Yin Xing, the younger brother of Empress Yin Lihua, in the Yuntai Guang Room, and sealed him as a servant and received his order. After recovering from his illness, he summoned Yin Xing again, this time wanting him to take over as Da Sima. Yin Xing kowtows and runny, and he doesn't do it. There is also the crown prince Zhang Zhan, who has been called ill since Empress Guo was deposed, and Liu Xiu also rose up and wanted to crown him as the Great Situ. Zhang Zhan is also stubborn. In the end, Liu Xiudu had to give up. On June 14, Liu Xiufeng Guanghan Taishou Cai Mao was the great Situ, and the servant Zhu Fu was the great Sikong. On the 16th, Liu Long was named a hussar general and did great things.

On the 19th, Liu Xiu changed the title of second son, Liu Fu, the king of Zhongshan, as the king of Pei. Feng Liu Fu's uncle Guo Guo is the great Honglu. After Guo Shengtong was deposed, Liu Xiu was still very good to her younger brother Guo Guo. Fortunately, the house is rewarded, and the gold silk is abundant. Even Guo Kuang's house was called the "Golden Cave" by the people of Luoyang

In September, Ma Yuan returned to the dynasty in triumph and said something to Meng Ji who came to greet him: "Now the Xiongnu and Wuhuan are still encroaching on the northern frontier, and I want to attack them." The boy should die in the border field, and be buried in horse leather. How can you lie on the bed and die in the hands of your sons and daughters?" Meng Ji said: "This is magnificent! For the martyrs, it should be so"

In the autumn, the Koreans of Dongyi led the crowd to Lelang County and begged for attachment.

In December, the Xiongnu invaded the three counties of Tianshui, Youfufeng and Shangdang. Ma Yuan invited himself to attack the Huns. Liu Xiu gave him 3,000 cavalry and let him go out of Xiangguo County, Zhao County. When Ma Yuan set off, Liu Xiu ordered hundreds of officials to see Ma Yuan off at Dumen. There were two people in the send-off procession: Dou Gu, the son of Dou Rong's younger brother Dou You, and Liang Song, the son of Liang Tong.

The father planted the tree, and the son enjoyed the shade. Liang Tong's eldest son, Liang Song, became very powerful and married Liu Xiu's eldest daughter, King Liu Yi, the princess of Wuyin, and became Chenglong's fast son-in-law. Dou Gu also entrusted the blessing of his uncle Dou Rong and married Liu Xiu's second daughter, Liu Zhongli, the princess of Nieyang, and became another son-in-law of Chenglong. The family is illustrious, the status is extraordinary, such energy, who dares to underestimate it? But some people don't buy the accounts of these two concubines Huang Menlang: there is only horse aid in the whole world!

Seeing off is to reflect the respect of the younger generations for their predecessors. But the senior Ma Yuan didn't appreciate it, he told the two juniors quite seriously, "People are in a high position, and you must always remember where you come from." If you want to keep rich and prosperous for a long time, you should be prepared for danger in times of peace and be careful to protect yourself" Ma Yuan's words are true, but they are very hurtful! Ma Yuan thought: I, Dou Rong and Liang Tong are all old friends, and there is nothing wrong with educating two proud junsheng as elders? But in fact, he was wrong! He didn't know: In the eyes of Liang Song and Dou Gu, the two high-ranking cadres, face was not earned by himself, but by others!

Even the emperor's father-in-law, Liu Xiu, gave them face, but Ma Yuan couldn't even say a polite word! What's the point of partnering with him? It's better to just dismantle the stage and leave!

In this year, Liu Xiu ordered the abolition of Wuyuan County and the relocation of officials and people to Hedong County. He also ordered that the people of Jy County, Chenliu County, be exempted from six years of forced labor.

In January of the 21st year of Jianwu (45), Liu Shang led the army to chase all the way to Buwei County, Yizhou County, and finally killed Qu Shuai Dong silkworm, and the southwest Zhu was razed to Xiping.

In April, the Hu people of the vassal state of Anding rebelled and gathered in Qingshan. was led by Chen Xin to seek peace.

The Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei tribes often joined forces to fight for the Kou, and the five counties along the border, Dai, Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, and Liaoxi were deeply affected by the Wuhuan. The county is damaged, the people are in exile, the border is depressed, and there is no trace of people... The sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep, it seems to be a distant legend!

The Wuhuan tribe in Saiwai Baishan in Shanggu County is the strongest. In August, Ma Yuan led 3,000 cavalry to attack, but returned in vain. It can only be divided into Baosai on the border with the confessor, and the county is slightly established, and the Taishou, Order, and Chang are vacant. Recruit the people.

In August, more than 10,000 Xianbei cavalry invaded Liaodong County, and Liaodong Taishou led thousands of people to attack and defeated the Xianbei cavalry. Since then, Xianbei has been terrified, and he has not dared to make a mistake.

In October, the Xiongnu invaded Shanggu and Zhongshan two counties.

The countries of the Western Regions complained bitterly, because their black boss there, Shache Wang Xian, fought in the local area! The countries of the Western Regions were restless, and the chickens flew and the dogs jumped. In winter, 18 countries such as Cheshiqian, Shanshan, and Yanqi sent their sons to serve again and contributed treasures.

But Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was determined to give up the Western Regions. He has no energy, no military strength, no time, and no mood to sort out this national issue. The mess left by Wang Mang is too big, and Liu Xiu has too many places to clean up. So Liu Xiu told the envoy of the Western Regions euphemistically: "It's not easy for you to come here. Bring as many things back as you want, and I will send you some good things back by the way," but when the messengers heard this, their hearts were cold.

When the servants of the countries were about to return to their respective countries, the kings of the Western Regions were even more frightened, so they could only jointly write a letter to Pei Zun, the Taishou of Dunhuang, "Luoyang refuses to take in our servants, and we ask to keep the servants in Dunhuang County." In this way, you can deceive that Shache Wang Xian, saying that the emperor has agreed to send the Western Regions to protect you. I just hope that this will scare that Xian and make him quit the army" Pei Zun forwarded the letter to Liu Xiu, who was noncommittal.

May 30, Jianwu 22 (46), solar eclipse. In July, Su Ye, the captain of Sili, was imprisoned and died. On September 5, there was an earthquake. Liu Xiu issued an edict to exempt rent, reduce sentences, and provide disaster relief.

On October 19, Dasikong Zhufu was dismissed. On the 20th, Guanglu Xun Dulin was promoted to the rank of Grand Sikong. Liu Kun was appointed Guangluxun. When Liu Kun was the commander of JL County, he encountered a fire. He prostrated to the fire, and it was quenched. Later, Ren Hongnong was too punctual, and the tigers in the territory under his jurisdiction did not eat people, but carried the children across the river. Liu Xiu was also very curious, and specially summoned Liu Kun to ask if these two things were true or false? Liu Kun replied, "It's true, but it's all accidental" Listening to it left and right, he couldn't help but snicker. Liu Xiu sighed: "This is really a loyal elder!" Words need no embellishment. If someone else answers, he will either boast or pay tribute."

This year, the locust plague in Qingzhou.

In this year, the Xiongnu Hudu and the corpse of Dao Gao Ruo Shan Yu died, and his son Zuoxian Wang Wu Da Yu succeeded as the last Shan Yu of the Great Xiongnu, but soon died as well. His younger brother Zuoxian Wang Punu succeeded Shan Yu. The Great Huns are about to split! The reason lies in this person: Wuzhu Liu, who was removed from the position of Shan Yu by Wang Mang, is still like Shan Yu! At that time, Wang Mang changed the seal to the seal and changed the Xiongnu to serve the slave, which made Wuzhu stay very dissatisfied. After his death, with the support of Wang Mang, Wuzhu Liuruo's brother Xian became Shan Yu. After Xian's death, it was Hudu, and the corpse was Gao Ruo Yu. However, Wuzhu Liuruo Shan Yu had a son named Bi, who was the king of the right side of the Xiongnu at that time, and led the eight departments in the south.

It is said that there are many sons in Huhan. After his death in BC31, he went from the replanting plant to Hudu and the corpse of Gao Ruo Shan Yu, and he had been a brother and six generations of 77 years, and Hudu and the corpse of Gao Ruo Shan Yu also had a younger brother, Yougu Liwang Zhiya Master (I really want to know how old this guy should be?). According to the tradition of brother to brother, it should be the successor of the tooth master. But Hudu and the corpse Dao Gao Ruoyu Shan Yu actually killed his younger brother Zhiya Master in order to pass on his son. Now, although it has been passed on smoothly, it has caused strong dissatisfaction with Bi, "In the words of brothers, he should be the king of the right valley." In the words of the Son, I am the son of the former Danyu, should not I be appointed?"

Bi sent an envoy to Yuyang County, asking for peace with the Han Dynasty, in order to get the support of the Han Dynasty to covet the Xiongnu Shan Yu at any time. Liu Xiu sent Zhonglang to send Li Mao as an envoy to the Xiongnu.

Not only is it facing the crisis of separatism, but in recent years, the Xiongnu have also suffered from drought and locust plagues, thousands of miles of red land, human and animal hunger, and too much of the death and consumption. Wuhuan took this opportunity to rise strongly! In this year, Wuhuan broke the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu migrated thousands of miles north, and the land south of the curtain was empty. Liu Xiu issued an edict: abolish the pavilions and officials in the border counties, send people to envoy Wuhuan, and surrender them with coins and silks.

The servants of the Western Regions stayed in Dunhuang County for a long time, and each returned to the Western Regions. At this time, Shache Wang Xian was excited: It turns out that there is no Western Regions to protect this file! Send troops now! Break through Shanshan Kingdom and attack and kill King Qiuzi. Shanshan Wang An had no choice but to write to Liu Xiu for the last time: "I plead again: send your son into the service, please send the capital to protect to maintain order in the Western Regions." If you really don't help, we have no choice but to go to the Huns" Liu Xiu replied, "I understand your feelings. But the Han Dynasty is really difficult now, and there is no army for you to send. I'm sorry, to the east, to the west, to the south, to the north, just let it go" Finally, Shanshan, Cheshi and other countries reattached to the Xiongnu, who were about to be divided and could not protect themselves...

Ban Gu, the author of the Book of Han, praised Liu Xiu's move to abandon the Western Regions: "Isolated from the Han Dynasty, the road is far away." What is gained is not gained, and what is discarded is not lost. Shengde is in me, and there is nothing to take from the other. Therefore, since the establishment of the military, the Western Regions Si Han Weide, Xianle is a subordinate, and several envoys have been sent to the Han Dynasty, and they are willing to protect the capital. The saint has a long-term view of the past and the present, and he has not allowed it to be allowed because of the opportune time. Although Dayu's order Xirong, Zhou Gongzhi let the white pheasant, Taizong's horse is gone, and righteousness is both" But in my opinion, this move is a great mistake by Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu! Ban Gu's younger brother Ban Chao is probably not impressed, in the future, he will lead 36 warriors to recover the Western Regions for Liu Xiu's son, Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty! And a big slap in the face of Liu Xiu and Ban Gu!
