On December 21, Liu Qing died of illness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Empress Dowager Deng ordered Sikong Yin Qin to hold the festival and pay tribute, and the general Deng Qiu to protect the funeral.

All of this, on the surface, looks beautiful, but on the inside it is terrible. Maybe no one knows: Liu Qing, who is happy on the outside, walks with a sad heart... Although his son is an emperor, he knows exactly what kind of emperor he is! Liu Hu, the emperor, is just an ornament. The one who really holds the power is still Deng Sui!

As Liu Qing saw, Liu Hu was Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, but Deng Sui still listened to the government in the court, making it clear that he regarded Liu Hu as a puppet...

In the eyes of the Deng family, all this is like pushing a boat down the river, as long as there are no special circumstances, on the river of the Han Dynasty, Liu Hu's small boat, and Deng Sui has to guide the direction... Under the sun, what Empress Dowager Deng did seemed to be able to stand the test of the sun. This is the idea of harmony among the people of the world. In fact, no one knows: Empress Dowager Deng still has an amazing secret buried in her heart! Until one day, the truth will be revealed...

On the 28th, Situ Liang died of tuna.

On May 3, Lu Gong, the captain of Changle Guard, was promoted to Situ.

More than 10 years ago, Liu Wei committed suicide and Beihai was expelled from the country. On the 6th, Empress Dowager Deng issued an edict: Liu Pu, the grandson of Liu Mu and the nephew of Liu Wei, was named the king of Beihai.

In May, Jiuzhen was outside, Yelang was barbarian, and Natu was subordinate.

On June 8, Empress Dowager Deng sealed her biological mother Yin as Xinye Jun, and Tang Muyi had ten thousand households.

Liang Qing held on for more than half a year. Half a year later, there was no one outside the city of Qiuzi, and it was very sad.

At this time, Liang Qing's situation became more and more bad. Except for a city of Qiuzi, the Han army had nothing. Outside the city of Qiuzi, the four fields are vast, and the wolves are surging. Liang Qing is like a trapped lion, he can't even send a piece of information out of the city...

Liang Qing is in a hurry over there, and the Empress Dowager Deng in Luoyang City here is also like an ant on a hot pot. She urgently convened a meeting of hundreds of officials to discuss the plan to pacify the Western Regions. The meeting was very heavy, and finally came to a conclusion: abandon the Western Regions, withdraw troops and return home!

Reason: The Western Regions are very large, the Han Dynasty is very poor, and the war will burn money, and it will not be able to last. If it is just for that breath, don't say that in the end, the Western Regions will not be able to get it, and the Han Dynasty may be dragged into the precipice... Being able to bend and stretch is what a great nation should learn the most. When the reason is explained, the action begins.

On the 22nd, the central government of the Han Dynasty officially decided to revoke the capital of the Western Regions, and sent Wang Hong, the cavalry commander, to lead the troops of Guanzhong out of the fortress to welcome Duan Xi, Liang Qing, Zhao Bo, Yiwulu, and Liuzhong's tunshu soldiers back to China!

The vast Western Regions has since become an eternal legend of the Han Dynasty! Even 16 years later, Ban Chao's son Ban Yong was appointed as the chief of the Western Regions, but he failed to restore the entire territory of the Western Regions. To the west of Wusun and Green Ridge, there will never be a big man!

In my lifetime, the Western Regions were not legends; After my death, the Western Regions became a mirage. Has all this turned into a floating cloud? Through the vast history, I seem to see: a heroic old man named Ban Chao is staring at the West sadly, and he can't let go of it for a long time!

The house leak happened to rain overnight! In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Pandora's box was opened! After the Western Regions, the Qiang people also rebelled again!

In the long rebellion and counterinsurgency movement, the Han Dynasty produced several experts on Qiang issues, two of the most famous: Ma Yuan and Deng Xun. The common characteristics of the two are: holding a sharp arrow in one hand and an olive branch in the other. first scared the Qiang people, and then persuaded them with virtue, sent a team to the countryside, and persuaded the Qiang people to live a good life and not to come out to make trouble...

When Deng Xun was alive, the Qiang people were particularly obedient. After Deng Xun's death, they were so sad that they even committed suicide and followed Deng Xun. When Ma Yuan died, the Qiang people were not so sad, which shows that Deng Xun managed the Qiang people and really achieved harmonious coexistence...

But after Deng Xun's death, all these beautiful situations were destroyed! The Han officials after Deng Xun looked at the Qiang people very unpleasantly, and they used all kinds of oppressive methods... The result is: You don't like me, I don't like you, I don't like you, the anger in the Qiang people's stomach is about to explode!

At that time, the largest tribe among the Qiang people, the cousin of the Qiang chieftain Mi Tang, the Hao chief Donghao and his son Manu surrendered to the Eastern Han Dynasty and were placed in Anding County. Freezing three feet, not a day's cold. With the previous foreshadowing work, if the Qiang people want to rebel, it will be a matter of time, and there will be a fuse!

Soon, someone lit the fuse! So the Qiang man made a fire, like a wildfire burning the plain, and swept the Han Dynasty for decades! The person who lit the fire was not a Qiang person, it was Wang Hong, a Han man sent by the central government of the Han Dynasty to welcome Liang Qing and his party, who abolished the capital of the Western Regions!

After Wang Hong received the task of sending troops to rescue people from Empress Dowager Deng, he was very active. Immediately pull up the Qiang cavalry troops, and rush to the front line day and night!

The Qiang cavalry of Jincheng, Longxi, Hanyang and other counties that were pulled by Wang Hongqiang totaled thousands. As soon as these people heard that they were going to the Western Regions, their hearts were all furious. The road in the Western Regions is far away, the sky is high and the earth is wide, and those barbarians are no worse than themselves in killing people. If you follow Wang Hong, it is estimated that it will be a meat bun beating a dog, and there will be no return... Thinking of this, the Qiang people all retreated in their hearts.

As a result, the army pulled out by Wang Hong had just arrived in Jiuquan County, and before it was out of the fortress, the Qiang cavalry had already smeared oil on the soles of their legs and slipped away. Seeing that the plan to save people was about to come to naught, Wang Hong was in a hurry... I can't say it, so I have to be ruthless!

Any fleeing Qiang cavalry will be severely punished if caught! How serious is it? The Qiang people never dreamed that after they were caught, they would be beheaded, and the Han Dynasty actually sent people to find out the tribe they belonged to, and the whole family was in the pot... The Han Dynasty's technique of rectifying people is really bad, and it is clear that it is to awaken the idea of rebellion in the Qiang people!

Sure enough, as soon as they heard that the Han army was coming, the whole tribe of the Qiang people, old and young, men and women, moved and ran away. Sister Le and the chieftain of the Dangfang tribe directly coerced the Manu brothers on the east bank to escape from the Saiwai, and the Yunnan Ling and Zhongqiang tribes intercepted Longdao and plundered by the gap.

The Qiang people who ran outside the Saiwai had followed Deng Xun for many years, and they didn't know what the rebellion was, but now they felt a little awkward and nasty. But no matter what! Casually pull up a wooden bamboo pole and carry an iron plate and bronze mirror, it is a revolutionary tool! Isn't this situation very similar to the scene when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up and cut wood into soldiers? In a word: the government forces the people to rebel, and the people have to rebel!

The generals of the Han army on the front line were confused, but the Empress Dowager Deng, who was far away in Luoyang City, had a good head. The local government has made a mistake, and the central government cannot follow the mistake again and again! On the 27th, she urgently issued an edict to pardon the Qiang people for the crime of forming a party and rebelling. And call a guy "The front line is in chaos, it's time for you to get out of the horse"

Empress Dowager Deng's eldest brother, the general of the chariot and cavalry, Deng Qiu, looked forward to the stars and the moon, just waiting for Empress Dowager Deng's words! As soon as you receive the task, immediately lead your troops and set off!

Deng Qiu has always craved a decent fight. He is a person with pursuits, and he doesn't want others to say that he relies on his old sister to get so glorious today. If he wants to plug the mouths of the people of the world, he has to be like Ma Fang, a relative of the Ma family, and Dou Xian, a relative of the Dou family, to go to the front line and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!

The one who followed Deng Qiu on the expedition was a very evil person. This person is no stranger to us at all: he is Ren Shang who fled back from the Western Regions before! Ren Shang lost the Western Regions, but he did not lose his official position, and was reappointed as the captain of the Western Expedition.

On September 1, Liu Hu issued an edict ordering the three dukes to affirm the old order, prohibiting extravagant and frequent, and advocating thin burials. Taiwei Xu Fang was dismissed due to disasters and thieves. On the 2nd, Sikong Yin Qin was dismissed due to the flood, "the highest official of the imperial court was dismissed due to the disaster, the third duke, since Xu Fangshi"

Zhong Changtong carefully observed the politics of the Eastern Han Dynasty and put forward a point in his "Changyan": since Liu Xiu's Zhongxing, I saw the two factions of the royal family and foreign relatives busy working in Luoyang City. Before the death of Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty, the royal family was busy; After Liu Zhuang's death, his relatives were busy. But no matter how busy the two factions are, there is nothing else to do!

This other person refers to the group of civil officials and doctors in the outer court! So far, the Eastern Han Dynasty civil official group has only heard that Yuan An and Ren Kui were once very good. Other than that, there is no one else. The momentum of the Shidafu Group is worrisome! But where did all the backbone of a huge civilian-bureaucratic group go?

Let me tell you: they have all been domesticated into good children. And what everyone didn't expect was that the person who swept the civilian-official group out of the political influence circle of the Eastern Han Dynasty was none other than Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Emperor Guangwu! At the beginning of Liu Xiu's founding of the country, his political philosophy was very problematic. He believes that at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the reason why the imperial power fell into the hands of Wang Mang was mainly because the power of the civil official group was too fierce and hijacked the imperial power, coupled with a relative stabbing him in the back, which led to everything good being snatched away!

Therefore, in order to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy, as soon as Liu Xiu came to power, he suppressed the two factions of civil officials, scholars, doctors and relatives. The approach is to leave it in the air. Although Liu Xiu set up the three dukes, he actually did not let the three dukes take care of things, and the people in charge moved to Shangshu Province in the palace...

Liu Xiu's ideals look beautiful, but the reality is cruel! He couldn't have predicted: this seemingly beautiful political idea not only failed to restore the political model of the early Western Han Dynasty, but pushed the Eastern Han Dynasty into a place of no return! Liu Xiu didn't know that in order to realize his great dream of imperial power, there must first be a big premise: the emperor must be a person who wants to do things and can do things! Once an emperor who wants to do things but can't do things, or doesn't want to do things, comes to power, then the imperial power is in danger!

Sure enough, after the second generation of Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty left, the third generation of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, Liu Wei, was a little unable to hold on! The power of his relatives developed rapidly in his hands, completed the primitive accumulation of political assets, and once again appeared on the stage of history. The situation has changed from the dominance of the imperial power to the fierce fight between the royal family and foreign relatives! Liu Zhao, the fourth generation of Emperor Han He, did not have the help of the scholar and civil official group, and he could only rely on the power of the royal family and eunuchs to eradicate his relatives, so the situation got out of control again, and it became a stage for the three families of the royal family, foreign relatives, and eunuchs to wrestle!
