Chapter 67: The showdown between the ancestors and grandchildren of the Liu family
"Is this really Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? It's all the whites of the eyes, or is it a corpse? "I was secretly surprised in my heart, it stands to reason that this Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is much more powerful than Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, but why Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun is already the body of a Yang person, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is still a Yin corpse, the same is a thousand-year plan, how can Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty have no means to restore Yang Qi, all people's vitality is the intersection of Yin and Yang to be fulfilled, the people of the whole Yin are zombies, ghosts and evil things, and the people of the whole Yang only exist in the legendary gods, such as the sun and the moon, so the soul of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is hidden in the Yin corpse.
Negotiations are still going on, but I know that nothing good will come out of it, because the two people have completely different philosophies, and even contradict each other.
You must know that in June of the fourth year of Zhenghe (89 BC), the sixty-eight-year-old Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che issued what may be the most famous "guilty edict" in Chinese history - the Luntai edict.
The Han Empire fell into turmoil in the later years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In the previous two years (91 BC), there was a "witch curse" that shocked the world, the crown prince Liu Ju, who was framed and forced to launch a coup d'état, committed suicide in defeat, and the queen Wei Zifu also followed his son; In the second year (90 BC), Li Guangli, the most relied on general in the later period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, surrendered to the Xiongnu in front of the battle, almost announcing the final bankruptcy of Liu Che's military solution to the Xiongnu problem.
In addition to the political and military setbacks, Liu Che also lost the rich family wealth accumulated by Wenjing Zhizhi for decades at this time, and the statement in the "Book of Han" is "waste at home" and "half of the household registration in the world".
According to the "Zizhi Tongjian" recorded three months before the Luntai edict, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at the ceremony of sealing Zen near Mount Tai, it is said that he also made a more profound self-criticism than the Luntai edict: "Since I ascended the throne, I have acted in a rebellious manner, making the world sad and unrepentant. From now on, those who harm the people and waste the world will stop it. ”
In Sima Guang's view, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was infinitely close to the tyranny of Qin Shi Huang ("there are few people who are different from Qin Shi Huang"), and gave a series of negative four-character evaluations, "Poor and extravagant, heavy punishment, extravagant palaces, foreign affairs, belief and confusion, and excessive parade". If it weren't for the Luntai edict of "late and reformed", how could Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "have the loss of Qin and avoid the disaster of Qin".
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty undoubtedly loved war. In the context of ancient history, if it were not for the paranoid view of peace like Sima Guang, the war of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty itself, whether from a moral point of view or from a political point of view, may have been defined by the negative meaning of "reckless military force" may have been attached to too many modern human emotions.
However, I still want to give the "reckless military force" to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the war itself may be neutral, but it is difficult to defend the war that runs through the entire reign almost all the time. The biggest thing that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Qin Shi Huang have in common is that they are very bad at self-control, ignoring the limits of national strength and people's strength, and allowing the desire to open the border to spread endlessly.
The biggest illusion given by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is that he will not fight the country to the brink of collapse, will not use the people's power to the limit, and will not stop the conquest if he does not fight the war until it is unsustainable. As far as the Han-Hungarian War is concerned, although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was "hurting people with his own heart" throughout the whole process, enjoying the victory of killing 10,000 enemies and losing 8,000 self-losses, there was indeed a time window to close when he saw it. In the fourth year of Yuanzhan (119 years ago), in the battle of Mobei, the main force of the Xiongnu had actually been severely injured by Wei Qinghuo's illness, and there was a good situation of "the Xiongnu fled far away, and there was no royal court in the south of the desert", and the hundred-year humiliation of the "siege of Baideng" of Han Gaozu was even avenged, and the Xiongnu could no longer constitute a military threat to the Han Empire.
If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ended the war at this time and did not dwell on the pursuit of a "complete solution" to the Xiongnu problem in his real history, it would be equivalent to the Luntai edict for a full 30 years in advance.
In this way, the historical evaluation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will not be so entangled, oscillating between the two extremes of tyrant and "Emperor Wu of Han".
Even the direct descendants of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at this "Great Emperor" with mixed feelings. A few years after the death of Emperor Wu, at the Salt and Iron Conference held in the sixth year of Emperor Zhao (81 BC), virtuous literature from the people tried to completely negate the various economic policies implemented by Emperor Wu; In the second year after Emperor Xuan's accession to the throne (72 BC), around the sacrifice of Emperor Wu or not, the Han court was divided again, and the minister Xiahou Sheng fiercely attacked Emperor Wu, "the people cannibalized", "no virtue in the people", Emperor Xuan was furious and sent Xiahou Sheng to prison, but then pardoned and released from prison; During the time of Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty, the courtiers even suggested that the temple should be destroyed because of Emperor Wu's great negligence, and although the temple was preserved in the end, the Emperor Ai of Han even held a neutral position for a time.
Mr. Rusich wrote in "Why the Grass Is Not Yellow", "It is not easy to achieve great achievements with the authority of the emperor and powerful national resources, but what is even more difficult is to admit one's own mistakes, and even deny one's great achievements, and the courage and strength required for this denial are far greater than the courage and strength required to create great achievements"
But how do the history books evaluate Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che gives me the impression that he is open, this heroic man is rooted in history and has nothing to do with good and evil, no worries about right or wrong, it is not easy to dare to reflect on himself in his later years, not to mention that for a generation of emperors who have great military exploits and pay attention to fame, it is even more difficult to be willing to tell the world like this.
On the other hand, the great-grandson of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, that is, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xun, this guy is very feminine, and it may really have too much to do with the situation when he was a child.
So I don't think that Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can have any results in the negotiations, the two have completely different understandings and insights on the country, one is strong, the other is soft, the result is bound to be very different, and the collapse of the talks is inevitable!
"Grandpa Huang, I finally advise you to think twice and lend the death and corpse qi of Maoling to your great-grandson, who will be able to conquer the four seas, subdue the barbarians, and stabilize ·····."
"There is no possibility, force cannot be taken by outsiders, this is the rule of the ancestors, the Yin soldiers cultivated for thousands of years will not be borrowed by you with a word, and their breath has long been the same as mine, so great-grandson, do you still want to borrow the hundreds of millions of Yin soldiers of your great-ancestors?" Liu Che looked at Liu Xun in a loving tone, but when he saw that his great-grandson still had the idea of insisting, the whites of his eyes actually rolled, and the whites of his eyes completely turned into a black hole.
"Don't talk about this point anymore" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was upright and round, and although his serious voice came from the Yin corpse, it still carried that undoubted majesty, which made people irresistible.
At this time, the scene is silent and sound, the atmosphere is very depressing, and the breath has a feeling of cold and penetrating.
Ge Chunsheng and I lurked behind Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and didn't dare to take a step forward, because there was a bottomless waterhole in front of us, surrounding the parade platform where Xia Siye, Liu Xun, and Liu Che were.
I've seen this guy before, it's the giant octopus that fought with the corpse mantis before, "Could it be that this guy is also the help of several parties?" ”
I can't help but feel a chill in my heart, I have heard Junzi say that Xia Siye has a deep-water giant beast, a demon octopus swimming in the netherworld. The octopus just can't go ashore, it's a hegemon in the water, although the last time I met the corpse mantis, it caused a little damage, and the tentacles fell a few but quickly grew up again, the demon octopus guarded the treasure of the old bell's water spirit, and now appears behind Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?
"It's not good, this guy belongs to Fourth Master Xia, and it is going to be unfavorable to Emperor Wu of Han!"
Ge Chunsheng and I just wanted to howl "Bah, where is the demon here", but we heard a tentacle dozens of meters rising under the waterhole, and the huge tentacles were flowing with disgusting mucus and swept towards Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
