Chapter 15: The First Year of Emperor Wu

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, he inherited the Qin system, emphasized military merits, and was still black, and in the early Han Dynasty, he advocated the rule of inaction, did not disturb the people, and did not belittle the merchants. www.biquge.info It was not until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty listened to Dong Zhongshu's words that he respected Confucianism, and there were some laws that restricted people, such as restricting people's houses from being higher than the emperor's houses;

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to centralize power, and what he advocated at that time was Huang Lao Wuwei, he wanted to fight against the Xiongnu, only to change the concept at that time, he wanted to change the status quo, thinking that the Xiongnu could not only invade the Han people, and the Han people could only sit and wait for death.

At that time, only Confucianism advocated centralized power to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but the doctrine of the supremacy of monarchical power, and there was no other set of statements that met the needs of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty needed Confucian thought, and only by adopting Dong Zhongshu's words and implementing the system planned by the Confucian scholars could he fully establish the idea of the supremacy of monarchy. However, the set of 'heaven and man induction' that Dong Zhongshu attached great importance to was not adopted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which made Dong Zhongshu resign in disappointment, but Dong Zhongshu did not go far, he settled in Chang'an, and he was always eager to be called.

But what was very disappointing to Dong Zhongshu, fortunately for the Han nation at that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not ask Dong Zhongshu to enter the court again, nor did he fully implement the system established by Dong Zhongshu, such as Dong Zhongshu said, 'The martial arts are rough and can be used as murder weapons, not enough to plan', in fact, this is also the reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted the Confucian system, but did not want Dong Zhongshu to enter the court.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che implemented the idea of Confucianism, but he couldn't say so under the lessons of the Qin Dynasty, so there was a Confucian record of Confucianism, and no one could confirm the statement of deposing a hundred schools, and the Confucian record also seemed to be a bit empty, because since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the history books were written by Confucian students, and the people who wrote history books generally have their own likes and dislikes and definitions, which can only be regarded as a family.

With the efforts of several generations of Confucianism, the Han nation finally went to a bumpy road, to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the emperors began to believe in the induction of heaven and man, and believed that they could not easily move the sword soldiers, and the words always only said half a sentence "soldiers, murder weapons, although the country is big, belligerent will die" Countless Confucians automatically ignored the second half of the sentence, and the whole sentence was "soldiers, murder weapons, although the country is big, belligerent will die." Although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous', because the literati who advocate martial arts to rule the society will lose their lofty social status.

But many prefer to believe another statement, at least the author likes this sentence: soldiers, national weapons, although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous, although the country is small, the belligerent will be prosperous!

In his later years, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty told his eldest son Liu Ju: "Confucianism, it can be used, but it cannot be reused." Most of the Confucian scholars can only boast and talk about empty words, and they are only suitable for being officials, not important ministers. ”

Emperor Wu said that Confucian scholars could only help come up with ideas, and if they wanted to do things, they would only mess up and make it worse. According to records, the word rotten Confucianism also came from Emperor Wu Chrysostom.

The crown prince Liu did not believe it and refuted it, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Liu Ju to find the best Confucian students under his disciple and asked him, "Give you a county, can you manage it", the Confucian replied, "No", Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked again, "What about that county?" Confucian replied, "No", Emperor Wu of Han laughed, "What about the sentry post?" Under pressure, Confucian finally replied, "Maybe."

Emperor Wu asked the Confucian to go to the frontier to manage a sentry post, and as a result, when the Confucian arrived in office, he idealized all the original arrangements to change them to what he wanted. He only served as the sentry commander for seven days, and on the eighth day, the day he finished the arrangement, the Huns stormed the post and killed everyone.

After Emperor Wu learned about it, he asked about the situation in detail, knowing that Confucianism had changed all the arrangements, resulting in the killing of more than 70 Han soldiers and civilians, and heard that the Confucian scholars and princes in the court were opposed to continuing the war with the Huns, and thought that they should continue to implement the pro-national policy, so angry that Emperor Wu roared: "The war of those decades was not fought in vain!?" What's the use of me expelling the Huns for 3,000 miles!! The rotten Confucianism is boastful, the prince is boastful! I should have killed you all on behalf of the soldiers who were loyal to my country!! ”

It was also because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was disappointed in the crown prince Liu Ju that he left an allusion that 'the son is not like the father', that is, it implied that Liu Ju was not as good at governing the country and employing people as he was, and then Liu Ju was deposed as the crown prince.

That is, today, Emperor Wu, who single-handedly created the most powerful and greatest Han Empire of the Han nation, finally stepped into his position......

……

"What!?" Han Zhu's face was full of grief, he stood up and grabbed the collar of Hongling's envoy, "You said that the Son of Heaven died!?" ”

Lin Bin was combing Lingzi's hair, and when he heard Han Zhu's cry full of horror, he looked curiously, but saw Han Zhu and the other elders with painful expressions. And the messenger with three small flags behind his back, a dusty servant, he was grabbed by the collar but he was not angry, and his face was full of sorrow.

"Now that he has died, the new monarch has ascended the throne, changed the name of the year 'Jianyuan', and issued an edict to mourn the whole country, and the border army is not allowed to fight." Originally a messenger for urgent military orders, the Hongling Envoy was now used to inform the border generals and the envoys of the princes who were in mourning. He came to inform Pavilion Chief Xiao that Pavilion Chief Xiao had died in battle, and he only had to inform the three team leaders stationed in Jingxiang Pavilion.

Han Zhu burst into tears, "Your Majesty has died, ...... has died" Immediately, crying sounded all over the village.

Emperor Xiaojing of the Han Dynasty was very loved by the common people, he reigned for 16 years, pursued the rule of Huang Lao inaction, respected filial piety, and gave the people rest, the Han Empire that had just been established experienced early difficulties, under the leadership of the two generations of emperors of Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han, the country was relatively peaceful, the common people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the national strength was gradually restored. Under the soft policy, the national strength did not suffer a heavy blow, on the contrary, because Emperor Jing handled it properly, the country became richer and richer because of the recovery of the fiefdom of the Zhuhou Kingdom, and now Emperor Jing has died, and Emperor Wu has ascended the throne......

Lin Bin stopped combing his hair and was stunned, until Lingzi called softly a few times before he came back to his senses, he caressed Lingzi's hair, and said to himself: "Here, the great era full of unpredictability is coming!" ”

"Dad, what did you say?" Lingzi's ear power is very good, and after a few days of getting along, she gradually became less afraid of Lin Bin, and she seems to like this father who is always in a daze, and the children who have lacked father's love since childhood will always cherish the hard-won happiness.

Lin Bin smiled gently, "Lingzi, do you like the hairstyle that your father combed you?" ”

Lingzi was very shy, "I like it!" ”

In fact, Lin Bin's combed hair is simply terrible, under the destruction of those clumsy hands, Lingzi's hair that was already burned into a mess has become even more miserable, but she likes this feeling, she likes the feeling of being cared for!

Originally, Lin Bin was worried that he couldn't keep Lingzi by his side, but later Han Zhu said that there was no such rule in the pavilion, but he warned Lin Bin very seriously, saying that Lingzi could not be wronged, which stumped Lin Bin, so that Lin Bin replaced the food and salary he received with daily necessities, and arranged two sets of clothes for Lingzi, and Lingzi was happy for several days.

"Brother!" Dou Shiyan is a rude man, every time he looks like a few tendons, and he always snores so loudly, "The thatched hut has been built, we finally have a place to live!" ”

Soldiers only live in the barracks when they go to war or have special military orders, and they can be allowed to stay in a specific place during the repair period and wait for the call, and generally live in the pavilion when they don't go to war, and the soldiers with family members can go home to reunite with their relatives, and the soldiers without relatives live in the hut arranged by the pavilion chief, but there is a rule that you can't lose your weapons, and you must go with the pass, and those who violate the order - die!

Lin Bin was a little surprised, he had been busy with the affairs of the army and taking care of Lingzi, and he didn't have much time to deal with the affairs of the house, so he entrusted this matter to Dou Shiyan and Lu Wu Zuomu, but he didn't expect it to be done so quickly.

"Good work. By the way, what is Gongsun Hong doing these days? ”

Dou Shiyan is making a grimace with Lingzi, in fact, his face is very ugly without pretending, his whole face is full of hair, when he heard the question, he let Lingzi kick the root of his calf, "It's not hard, it's not hard at all!" Our family also lived for a while, and the neighbors heard that it was for Lingzi to be in charge, and they were very helpful, contributing materials and labor, and they also thanked us for taking care of Lingzi. ”

He picked up Lingzi and laughed a few times, "Gongsun Hong? This kid stayed with those captains all day, and he didn't know what he was doing. ”

Lin Bin feels a little strange recently, Gongsun Hong seems to be doing some secret things, and together, Lu Wu Zuomu has asked many times when the military merits will be determined, and the two seem to be eager to be promoted to the rank of captain, and Han Zhu said that because Xiao Tingchang died in battle, most of those heads and war horses were lost, and it may be very troublesome to confirm the military merits, Lin Bin is a little pity and feels indifferent at the same time, but it does not mean that other people do not care.

The chief of the pavilion is responsible for the eating and drinking of the soldiers in the pavilion, keeping the military merits recorded by each team, and is responsible for raising money and food to distribute food to the soldiers, and with the death of the chief Xiao Ting, the military merit spectrum was burned, and most of the grain depots and money in the pavilion were lost, and the direct consequence was that the military merits and duty records that the soldiers exchanged for their lives were all empty and could not be confirmed. (This set of policies was later abolished and transferred to the responsibility of the quartermaster above the military cantonment unit, which can be regarded as a strange product unique to the early Han Dynasty)

"Let's go, let's go see the new house!"

There are mourning everywhere in the village, but for Lin Bin, the death of Emperor Jing of Han and the accession of Emperor Wu to the throne gave him the opportunity to show his stage. Death is also a ghost!

"It's a good fight!"
