In the twenty-fifth year of Yuanzhen, at the birthday banquet of the imperial concubine, Zhao Hanzhang announced that he would abdicate and cede the throne to Zhao Mingming.

The courtiers were silent for a moment.

Zhao Hanzhang has a distinct personality, and the courtiers have long figured out her temper in many years of working together, and she likes to talk to people about some small things, in order to show good qualities such as humility and love, but she definitely doesn't need to test people's hearts in big things.

So they all know that since Zhao Hanzhang has said such a big thing, he must have made up his mind.

For more than 20 years, there is nothing that the emperor can't do when he makes up his mind, let alone such a thing as a Zen position?

If they dissuade them, I don't know if the new emperor will think that they do not approve of her accession to the throne;

If they praise it, I don't know if the emperor and her old people will think that they have already taken refuge in the new emperor......

So forget it, this is the emperor's family matter, and they still have to keep their heads down and listen with their ears pricked up.

The officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee have changed one after another, some have passed away, some have resigned and gone into hiding, and some have been promoted and replaced normally.

Ji Yuan and Ming were demoted a few years ago, and later the reform of the new law was put forward again, and at this time they were still in the position of prime minister.

Hearing that Zhao Hanzhang wanted to take the Zen position, the two of them frowned, and they glanced at each other, knowing that they should also abdicate and make way for Xian.

This time is different, it is really a retreat and no longer coming up.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, there are many ministers who have the same consciousness as Ji Yuanming. Over the years, Zhao Hanzhang has promoted many young people from the recruitment examination, and they have been involved in politics for more than ten years

And the officials were sent out again, but they were not rejected again.

In the past, they didn't expect that it was because Zhao Hanzhang was in the prime of life, but now, these people are obviously cultivated by her for the imperial princess.

Your Majesty, she thought about abdicating today more than ten years ago?

If you think about it, you're afraid!

In addition to Zhao Hanzhang, Zhao Mingming also cultivated his own team. After she presided over the successful conclusion of the "cancellation of regular service" case, Zhao Hanzhang let her supervise the country, and she went out to inspect from time to time

Jiaozhou.

She directly took over the military power of Jiaozhou, and transferred troops from Guangzhou, Jingzhou and Ningzhou, not only quelling the Jiaozhou rebellion, but also hitting the Mekong River in one go.

Jiaozhou is now the area of Vietnam in later generations, and before the Song Dynasty, the area of Vietnam has always been a direct area of China.

Since Qin Shi Huang unified the world, this area is called Baiyue, directly under the imperial court, Han so, Wei and Jin, it directly belongs to Eastern Wu, after the Eastern Wu was destroyed, returned to Jin.

Naturally, after the fall of the Jin Dynasty, it also belonged to Zhao Hanzhang's Huaguo.

Historically, after the fall of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, this area was not divided, and has always belonged to the southern country, and after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the Annam Protectorate was established here, and the Metropolitan Protectorate was located in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Until the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin canonized the king of Ding as the king of Jiaozhi County, recognized his independence, and the directly subordinate area became a vassal state, no longer a territory of China.

Zhao Hanzhang did not want to leave a dispute over territorial disputes to future generations, and this Jiaozhou rebellion was because the imperial court directly sent several officials to manage it, which was contrary to the interests of the local Tusi;

Second, there are people from the southern tribe who provoke it.

It was the first Shan country, that is, the area of Laos and Thailand.

But...... The Shan state is gone, the country is fragmented, and now it is ruled by various tribes, and there is no unified state. Zhao Hanzhang grabbed people and asked for a while, only to know that these tribes knew that the eastern suzerainty was becoming stronger and stronger, and wanted to send envoys to the court to pay homage, and they also wanted to ask the emperor to choose a king for us (it is best to choose someone from their tribe), but hand

The tribes on this side of the state had conflicts with them, and they were worried that they would get the support of the imperial court after contacting Luoyang.

Therefore, in alliance with some local officials, they did everything possible to obstruct their tribute, and the southern tribes could not cross the blockade line at all.

After seven or eight years of hard work, Zhao Hanzhang could not be seen, and as soon as these tribes were ruthless, they simply rebelled against the Tusi of Jiaozhou.

This wave operates in reverse

did succeed in attracting Zhao Hanzhang's attention, so Zhao Hanzhang simply hit the Mekong River and pocketed these tribes.

Don't appoint a king, assign a county guard or something, and from now on, everyone will be under the administration of Huaguo, so that there is no need to be afraid of internal strife.

This battle not only frightened the Tusi and the southern tribes in Jiaozhou, but also frightened the courtiers.

The emperor drove the expedition in person, and he didn't even say a word in the court, so he ran to the border without saying a word, which is simply unreasonable!

Zhao Hanzhang felt a long-lost sense of freedom from it.

Originally, she expected to work until Zhao Mingming was thirty years old, and she would stand at thirty, and she would be in charge of the country for seven or eight years, no different from the vice emperor, and she would be familiar with it after seven or eight years, and the transition of imperial power would be smoother at that time.

At that time, she was fifty-one years old, and counting the retirement age of her previous life, she could be regarded as a few years early retirement due to injury, and she could be regarded as a hard-working person.

It was just perfect!

But, the taste of freedom is so addictive.

So after returning to Luoyang from Jiaozhou, Zhao Hanzhang quietly discussed with Fu Tinghan. Fu Tinghan is even more pitiful than Zhao Hanzhang, she has gone out to inspect every year over the years, and he has been sitting in Luoyang, and the farthest place is a few sections of the Yellow River, so as soon as she mentioned it, he immediately nodded, and the couple quietly moved

Make it up.

The two of them first observed Zhao Mingming's situation in prison, and found that she was not in trouble in prison, Zhao Hanzhang simply did not accept power, and let her continue to be in prison on the grounds of illness and physical weakness, and appeared from time to time to point her out.

Zhao Mingming has been in charge of the country for two years, and Zhao Hanzhang felt that it was okay, so he announced the news of the Zen position.

The Zen Throne Ceremony takes time to prepare.

Whenever there is a major event, the emperor will ask Guo Pu, the supervisor of Qintian.

Guo Pu chose a good day in the first month.

Zhao Hanzhang was very satisfied with this day.

New Year's Day, farming, nothing to do, many holidays, everyone is free, the beginning of the new year, the year name is also easy to change.

The best thing is that it is the time of spring flowers in two months after the Zen position, which is very suitable for travel.

So Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand and agreed.

On the twelfth day of the first month of the twenty-sixth year of Yuanzhen, this year is also called the first year of Heshun, the crown princess Zhao Renjia succeeded to the throne as the emperor, and Zhao Hanzhang was the emperor, moved out of the palace and lived back in the general's mansion.

Because of this, Zu Ti and Beigong Chun, who had the general's plaque, silently removed their own plaques and hid them in the warehouse.

Heshun was only three years, and in the fourth year, the new emperor changed the name of the year to Jianchang, opening a new era.

Later generations saw this change as a complete change of power.

Because in the first year of Heshun, Ji Yuan resigned, and in the third year of Heshun, Zu Li resigned, and the Emperor Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan also left Luoyang, touring the whole country, and the Emperor Taishang and the old ministers who had been pressing on the head of the new emperor were considered to be handed over power.

Therefore, from the first year of Heshun to the third year of Heshun, it was nicknamed the twenty-sixth to twenty-eighth years of Yuanzhen Fanwai by netizens in later generations.

Therefore, some netizens often argue, is Zhao Hanzhang in power for twenty-five years or twenty-eight years?

In the last 25 years, he won by a slight number of votes, because since Zhao Hanzhang, his descendants have tacitly agreed that they have only reigned for 24 years.

Don't mention those who die before they arrive, those who can live through this number of years have tacitly agreed to abdicate in twenty-four years, and they can't surpass Emperor Taizu. Of course, Zhao Hanzhang came to Emperor Huawu of Sun Huawu, this emperor ascended the throne at the age of twelve, reigned for twenty-seven years, and finally gave his son the throne under the hint of the courtiers, that is, he said "Emperor Taizu has been in power for twenty-eight years

This is the controversy over whether it is 25 years or 28 years. After his son's reign for three years, because his son made his father-in-law prime minister, let his uncle enter the council, and embezzled the money from the treasury to build a palace, he finally couldn't stand his son's stupidity and directly put him on the throne

He usurped it, and ascended to the throne of God himself, and then worked hard to create man.

This time, he reigned for another twenty-four years.

In the twenty-fourth year, he gave up the throne to his sixteen-year-old daughter, and sat on the edge of the dragon chair to watch her take power, until Emperor Xiao was twenty years old and could take charge of the throne alone.

Therefore, although this Emperor Wu is not the longest-lived emperor of Huaguo, he is the emperor who has reigned and actually controlled for the longest time. He is also one of the most controversial emperors, and like his ancestor Zhao Hanzhang, he is the most talked-about.
