Emperor Zhao's accession to the throne
On February 15, 8-year-old Liu Fuling officially ascended the throne as Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info crowned his sister, Princess Eyi, the wife of Gaihou Wang Chong, as the eldest princess of Gai, and entered the palace to accompany her on the same day. All the affairs of the harem are handled by Princess Gaichang.
Liu Che was like a gambler who made a bet and then withdrew it, and left without looking back. The gambler is gone, and the game has just begun.
To be exact, Liu Che's chips were bet on five people. According to the popularity index, the ranking is about as follows: Huo Guang, Jin Riyan, Shangguan Ji, Sang Hongyang, Che Qianqiu.
The above popularity index is in terms of Liu Che's closeness and reuse of them during his lifetime. In terms of appearances, this ranking has to be revisited. For example, there is a name that was extremely unfamiliar before: Shangguan Ji.
As for Sang Hongyang, it was no accident that he suddenly appeared in front of Liu Che's hospital bed and was worshiped as the imperial doctor. As mentioned earlier: Sang Hong sheep has always been very good. When Liu Che was worried that he couldn't find the money, it was Sang Hongyang who was like a rising star in the East, which suddenly lit up Liu Che's eyes!
Sang Hongyang was able to light up Liu Che because he appeared at the right time and launched a series of appropriate economic policies, which brought Liu Che countless extremely rich fixed industrial incomes: salt, iron, and wine official camps; Even-losing, leveling, calculation, suing, unified coinage... and other economic policies, all of which are excellent masterpieces of Comrade Sang Hongyang!
Sang Hongyang came from a merchant family and was good at knocking on plans all his life. It should not be surprising that he can count himself in front of Liu Che's bed and be worshiped as the imperial doctor. What he didn't expect was something he didn't know: Ban Gu didn't pay attention to him, didn't give him a tablet in the Book of Han, and didn't even have a small biography!
In fact, Sang Hong Yang is not the most lost. Also enjoying the same treatment as him is Shangguan Ji. There is also no biography of Shangguan Ji in the Book of Han. At first, I thought I had read it wrong, and I searched for the "Book of Han" over and over again, but I could only extract their clues in other people's biographies...
To be honest: I'm depressed. I believe more: If Sang Hongyang and Shangguan Ji are still alive, they will definitely be more depressed than me. And among the two masters, Shushangguan Ji is the most depressed. Because he never had a chance to play.
In fact, before this, Shangguan Ji had shown his face once. However, in that appearance, Shangguan Ji was not the protagonist, but a trickster. Who do you play for whom? Li Guangli.
In that year, Li Guangli conquered the Western Regions, and Shangguan Ji set off with the army and personally attacked Yu Chengguo. King Yu Cheng fled to Kangju Kingdom, and it was Shangguan Ji who beat the water dogs, chased him all the way to Kangju Kingdom, and forced King Kangju to hand over King Yu Cheng before he quit his army and returned...
Shangguan Ji, before Liu Che's death, his promotion route was roughly as follows: Yulin Period Menlang - Weiyang Stable Order - Shizhong - Tai Servant - General Zuo. What is the mysterious force that pushes Shangguan Ji step by step to the pinnacle of power? Become one of the five ministers of Tuogu?
The answer is: Shangguan Ji is not Che Qianqiu, he is not an upstart. The reason why he can go all the way is because of two sharp weapons. One is strength, and the other is show.
Shangguan has excellent arm strength and invincible courage. When he was still the Yulin Janissary, once Liu Che was going to Ganquan Palace, but there was a sudden strong wind on the road, and the convoy couldn't move. So Liu Che ordered the emperor's special yellow silk umbrella cover to be handed over to Shangguan Ji. Shangguan Ji did not fail in his mission, and advanced with the yellow silk umbrella cover held high in the gale, as steady as Mount Tai. That time, Liu Che remembered his name and gave him a slightly better job - to go to Weiyang Palace to manage horses.
Another time, Liu Che went to Weiyang Palace to see the horses. He was recovering from a serious illness and was in a good mood. Unexpectedly, when I saw the horse raised by Shangguan, I was in a bad mood. Because I looked left and right, I couldn't see a horse that wasn't thin. Why do good horses get thin? It's very simple, Shangguan Ji's work is not careless, but very irresponsible!
Liu Che was furious, pointed at Shangguan Ji's nose and scolded, "Do you think I will never see a horse, I sent you to take care of the horse, it was so perfunctory" After Liu Che finished speaking, he was ready to call someone to take Shangguan Ji down and throw him into prison for ten or eight years. And yet a miracle happened!
After Shangguan Ji was trained, he looked like a wronged child, his face was covered with tears. I saw him bow to the ground and say, "I heard that Your Majesty is sick, and I only have Your Majesty in my heart, how can I remember the horse?"
High, really high! As soon as Shangguan Ji's wonderful trick came out, the world smashed his tongue. Shangguan Ji tells us with practical actions: an employee who always has leadership in his heart will never have an excellent employee who works everywhere. Liu Che was deeply moved.
Be anxious about what the leader is anxious about, and then be anxious about what the work is anxious about. Regarding the above two things, Liu Che gave Shangguan Ji a score: very reliable. As a result, Shangguan Ji, who spoke considerately and artistically and was brave in doing things, was transferred back to his side by Liu Che as a waiter.
The quantitative changes in Shangguanji's life and politics began to undergo qualitative changes. In front of him was a golden avenue of stars.
However, the above five people have not yet reached the time for them to rank seniority and reward meritorious deeds. The most urgent task before them is: how to fill the political vacuum of the Han Dynasty with the death of Liu Che and the new accession to the throne of 8-year-old Liu Fuling?
This question must be answered by Huo Guang himself. And Huo Guang's answer is: The current thing, stability overrides everything!
Since stability is to be achieved, the monarch and the minister, the central and local governments, must perform their respective duties and do their jobs well. And the first thing Huo Guang did was to assign work tasks to the five big people who accepted the edict and assisted Liu Fuling: Jin Riyan and Shangguan Ji were Huo Guang's deputies, and the three of them were in charge of Shangshu; Sang Hongyang was Che Qianqiu's deputy.
Then, Huo Guang told Che Qianqiu, "I am in charge of palace affairs, and you are in charge of political affairs." You do your thing well, and I do my thing well. Let's match each other, and the central idea is to serve the emperor" Huo Guang, this is called power distribution and demarcation of territory. However, Che Qianqiu resigned.
In my opinion, many nouveau riche in modern China have risen to the sky overnight, often without knowing their parents' surnames. So he got carried away, flying around in the sky, often carelessly, he was kicked into the clouds by the gods and fell to the ground. Among the five people of Huo Guang, no matter how Che Qianqiu looks at it, they are all nouveau riche. But Che Qianqiu thinks: He has an outbreak, but he is very clear-headed...
Che Qianqiu fully understands that he has a few catties and taels. I also know that in this seemingly peaceful political arena, but in fact there is a hidden steel knife, everyone must have two brushes. And Che Qianqiu thinks: In addition to finding the right time to show off his two brushes, he also has a commendable specialty - modesty!
When people are humble, many things are often easier to do. So the modest Che Qianqiu said to Huo Guang like this: "What is mine is yours, and what is yours is still yours." Palace affairs, political affairs, internal and external affairs, are all up to you."
Che Qianqiu's subtext seems to tell Huo Guang: I know how I got involved. I'll sit for you for the time being. If you want to make a change, you can do so at any time. You can leave me no place, but you can't leave me alone. Politics, that's it anyway, I'll do it for you, it doesn't matter...
In the middle of the night a few days after the new emperor ascended the throne, someone suddenly reported that "there is a monster in the palace" and the ministers were shocked, Huo Guang heard the news and immediately called Shang Fu Xilang, who was specially responsible for managing the seal, to prepare to take the most important imperial seal in his own hands, so as not to have an accident. Unexpectedly, this Shang Fu Xilang is a dead brain, and he regards the imperial seal as his life and refuses to deliver it. Huo Guang didn't want to say more, so he wanted to come up and snatch the imperial seal. Shang Fu Xilang pressed his sword and said sharply: "The ministers can get it, but the seal can't get it." Where the minister's duty lies, he would rather die than have a personal relationship" Huo Guang was relieved that "I'm just worried that something will happen, how could I ever think of asking for this imperial seal" Then he ordered the guards in the palace: Don't make a fuss, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! As soon as this order came out, nothing strange happened...
The next day, Huo Guang ordered the addition of Shang Fu Xilang's second-class Yulu. After this incident, the ministers of the DPRK and China began to obey Huo Guang's justice and relied on him as a pillar.
In June, Liu Fuling granted amnesty to the world. In July, Liu Fuling rewarded the eldest princess and the clans surnamed Liu. Honored by his father's mother, Mrs. Hook Yi, as the queen mother. Liu Kuan, the king of Jibei, committed suicide for adultery.
In winter, the Huns invaded Shuofang County and killed officials and people. Liu Fuling issued an edict to levy troops to Xihe County to garrison Tun, and sent General Zuo Shangguan Ji to inspect the northern frontier.
In February of the first year of the first year (BC86), Liu Fuling issued an edict to reward all princes, princes, and clans, and added 13,000 households to Liu Dan, the king of Yan, Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, and the princess Gaichang.
In the summer, more than 30,000 people in Yizhou Yi 24 Yi rebelled. LĂź Pihu, the commander of Shui Heng, was ordered to recruit the people, and at the same time recruited soldiers from Qianwei County and Shu County to quell the rebellion and broke it.
In July, Liu Fuling granted amnesty to the world. Give the people cattle and wine for every hundred households. From this month to October, Chang'an has been raining heavily, and Weiqiao is absolutely dead.
When Emperor Wu died, Emperor Zhao ascended the throne, and the seal book awarded to the princes and kings arrived in Yan Kingdom, Liu Dan did not cry when he received the book, but asked the court envoy, "This seal letter is very small, it can't be fake, right?" Could it be that there is a change in the capital division" immediately sent Shou Xichang, Sun Zongzhi, Wang Ru and other close ministers to Chang'an to the west, in the name of inquiring about the funeral, but in fact, to investigate the movements of the imperial court. When the ministers came back from Chang'an to report, Liu Dan hurriedly asked, "Can you see the eldest princess?" The ministers replied, "The princess has entered the palace and can't see each other" Liu Dan suddenly feigned surprise, "My father died, is there no will?" The eldest princess can't see it, so it can be seen that there must be something wrong in the court, and we must be ready to enter King Qin at any time."
In this world, there are many things that do not belong to us, and we feel red when we see them being taken away by others; There is a kind of rich thing, which was born and already exists, and suddenly it is snatched away overnight, and this central situation is called resentment. All along, Liu Dan was on the verge of a volcanic eruption. In his opinion, if Liu Ju is gone, the prince should be his, why did he fall into the hands of Liu Fuling, who has not dried up? But now the fact is that Liu Fuling has ascended the throne as the emperor, so what should I do?
It's easy to do. Since others can snatch this fat meat unreasonably, why should I, Liu Dan, be reasonable? The impulsive devil seems to be a sea of thousands of streams, impacting Liu Dan's turbulent heart! Suddenly, a terrible thought popped up in Liu Dan's mind: My life is up to me, it's against the fuck!
Liu Dan is ready to snatch the throne that belongs to Liu Fuling! If Liu Fuling is a little abbot in a robe, then Huo Guang and the other five are the five King Kongs. The little abbot is not terrible, what is terrible is the five King Kongs. With Liu Dan's strength alone, he can't do the Five King Kongs.
Therefore, Liu Dan has to do two things: 1. Practice internal skills; 2. Form a gang and prepare for a rush.
In this world, if you want to rebel, there is never a shortage of people who are afraid of death. Soon Liu Dan found two helpers: Liu Chang, the great-grandson of Liu Qi, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and the son of Liu Chang, King of Zhongshan; Liu Ze, the great-great-grandson of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty and the grandson of Liu Jianglu, the king of Qi...
In fact, the helper is easy to pull, but the internal strength is not easy to practice. The so-called internal strength is not good to practice, not because it is not good at practice, but because it cannot be practiced.
We know that the princes and kings of the early Han Dynasty were quite moist. In addition to having no legislative power, they have an intimidating amount of executive power. If the central government can collect taxes, they can also collect taxes; There is an army in the center, and they can also form an army. The central government can appoint officials, and the princes and kings can appoint officials. The slight difference is that high-ranking officials with more than 2,000 koku are appointed by the central government, and high-ranking officials below 2,000 koku are decided by the princes and kings.
However, these good days are gone. The person who ended the good days of the princes and kings was none other than the first victim of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, Liu Bi, the king of Wu. After quelling the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, the central Han Dynasty learned a lesson and carried out a series of power reduction actions against the princely kingdoms. The most important point is that the feudal monarch is no longer allowed to intervene in the administration of the feudal country!
Of course, appropriate taxes can still be collected; An official who seals a few hundred stones still has the right; The central government also allows the establishment of a palace self-defense force of several hundred people. But Liu Dan's so-called practice of internal skills is to form his own army. This Han Dynasty Central Committee will never allow it!
