Chapter 50: Emperor Gaozong Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty (End of the Volume)
The Huns fled far away, and there was no royal court in the north.
The sword opened the Western Regions, and the Han Dynasty was thousands of miles away.
After destroying the extremely powerful nomadic empire, everyone in the entire Han Dynasty had a feeling that the sky was clear!
The feeling of uneasiness that is always tense and worried about the future is completely swept away, and even makes many people feel a sense of emptiness.
Although the ten years of war have almost emptied the treasury of the imperial court, it is all worth it, and the national strength that the ancestors have accumulated for so many years is to use it in such a major event.
Because it can be called a quick victory, although the war in the past ten years has increased a lot of military service, the imperial court has not raised taxes on the people, and the world is still a scene full of flowers.
As long as the imperial court survives the most embarrassing two years, a prosperous era of peace and tranquility will come when there are no external enemies and no internal worries.
In the midst of all this thriving situation, Emperor Liu Che actually fell into a coma after a drinking banquet, which instantly made everyone panic.
Because this scene is really frightening, almost everyone's hearts are full of gloom, and they can't suppress some things, "Emperor Xiaohui and Emperor Xiaowen seem to be ......"
Emperor Liu Che woke up slowly, his face was very ugly, he turned his head to look at Wei Zifu, and then said with difficulty: "I never thought that it would be like this, I thought that the lesions of Emperor Xiaohui and the first emperor were accidental.
Queen, I'm not reconciled!
I still have so many great things, how can I fall here?
I want to be the first holy king of ancient and modern times who has never been seen before or since, but I have fallen here. ”
Wei Zifu shed tears of grief and sobbed: "Your Majesty, you are already a holy king, listen, the whole Han is singing your name." ”
Liu Che's reputation in this time and space is much better.
The treasury left to him by Emperor Wen of Han was more substantial, with more money and grain, and the war against the Xiongnu was smoother and the results were greater.
Although he still put together the policies of improving finances such as salt and iron government, because the main purpose was not to accumulate wealth, but to centralize power, the disadvantages did not appear.
Liu Che is not a person who pities himself after all, he quickly forcibly cheered up his spirits, and said in a deep voice: "Life and death, fortune and misfortune are controlled by King Su, and I must have this fate today."
But I can leave, but my deeds will continue, the queen, call all the ministers, while I am still sober, I will explain the future. ”
The important ministers of the Liu Che Dynasty were mainly the prime minister, the Great Sima General, the Great Sima Hussar General, and the Great Sima Xiao Cavalry General.
Emperor Wen was stronger in the courtiers, and the prime minister was the only courtier above the princes and kings.
But Liu Che loves the character of martial arts, and the expansion of the general's power is doomed, and the three great Simas are all the supreme leaders in the army, with gold seals and purple ribbons.
When the ministers walked in, they saw the pale emperor, and everyone's hearts sank incessantly, and sure enough.
Liu Che saw that the ministers had arrived, so he asked Wei Zifu to help him up, dragged the sick body and said, "I can't do it."
The Han Dynasty received the Mandate of Heaven from Emperor Gao, and after decades of hard work, it has its current prosperity.
This is because the emperor of the Han Dynasty was virtuous, so he was blessed by King Su.
But now that I'm about to die, and there's still something to be done, how can I not be worried? ”
The queen sobbed and asked, "Your Majesty, here are all courtiers worthy of your trust, and please tell me without reservation, and the ministers will definitely fulfill your last wishes." ”
Liu Che sighed leisurely: "The Xiongnu are almost annihilated, and it must be impossible for them to prosper again within fifty years, but they have fled to the far north, and there are still clansmen, like a fire in the hay, which will re-ignite at any time."
How can I rest assured? ”
When the queen heard this, she said: "Your Majesty, the Han has the protection of the Mandate of Heaven, with you, the prime minister and the generals, and the brave soldiers, so he defeated the Xiongnu, although the prince is not as talented as you, but he is not a mediocre person, with the assistance of the courtiers, it is possible to defeat the crippled Xiongnu." ”
Liu Che nodded, agreeing with Wei Zifu's words, he looked at the ministers and said: "The Western Regions is the right arm of the Xiongnu, and if you cut it off, the Xiongnu will lose everything, and Liaodong is the left arm of the Xiongnu, and if you cut it off, the Xiongnu will be trapped in Wolf Juxu Mountain."
After mastering the Western Regions and Liaodong, the Xiongnu could not resurrect from the ashes. ”
Liu Che's gaze wandered over the ministers, and then fell on Luo Wuji's body, and said leisurely: "The proudest thing in my life is the day of the founding of the Yuan, the Emperor of the Prime Prince, the Apocalypse, and the beginning of the founding of the Yuan.
Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has claimed to be commanded by heaven, but how many people are really commanded by heaven?
I!
He is truly the King of Heaven!
The Great Han Dynasty is the country where the eyes of the Emperor Su are lowered, and the Western Regions is the land guided by the Emperor Su Wang, and it is the inseparable land of the Han Dynasty.
I think about it, Wushuang Hou, this is a heavy responsibility on your back.
I know that you have the will of Lingzun, so I appointed you as the protector of the Western Regions, commanding the kings, princes, and officials, and controlling the important affairs of the Western Regions.
When you inherit the position of Zhaogong, you will pass on the position of Wushuang Marquis to your second son, and re-establish the country in the Yishui River Valley. ”
This is equivalent to making Luo Wujian the king of the Western Regions, a position above 10,000 people.
If you want to lead the princes and kings, you can only go to the four highest people, Liu Che knew that Luo Wujian originally wanted to go to the Western Regions, so he pushed the boat down the river and sealed him to the Western Regions.
Luo Wujian bowed and said, "The minister is ordered." ”
This is the emperor's first will, handed over to the future head of the Luo family, in Liu Che's planning, the Luo family should always occupy a more important position in the Han Dynasty.
"Champion Hou, come forward."
Huo Quai's face was full of sadness, and he kneeled forward like a son treats his father, kowtowed heavily, and couldn't hold back his tears at all, "Your Majesty, the minister is here." ”
Liu Che patted him lightly on the shoulder and said, "Go sick, I really like you, but it's a pity that you are not my son."
The Western Regions will be handed over to the Wushuang Marquis, and Liaodong will be handed over to you.
I set up the Liaodong Metropolitan Protectorate in Liaodong, under the jurisdiction of the four counties and five countries and tribes in Liaodong, you come to be the protector of Liaodong, the county guards, princes, princes, liehous, and the captain of Huhu and Wuhuan all obey your orders, and all the military and political power is handed over to you, do you have confidence? ”
Liu Che's words were very gentle, Huo Quzhi endured his grief and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely guard Liaodong for the Han Dynasty and never let the Huns resurge." ”
Liu Che set his sights on Wei Qing again, a general who had always been low-key, but in fact he was one of the most powerful people in the Han Dynasty.
He is not only a relative, but also represents the interests of the founding nobles, "General, you are the prince's uncle, you should help him well in the future." ”
Liu Che finally spoke, and let Wei Qing be the chief auxiliary minister, in fact, the most suitable person in his heart was Luo Jing, but Luo Jing is old, and he has often been sick in the past two years, I am afraid that he will not be far away, and he can no longer be an auxiliary minister.
Wei Qing is cautious, low-key and introverted, courteous, and measured, and he is also a relative, and he is a good candidate for auxiliary government.
Wei Qing's body was shocked, even if he had some guesses, but when the position of the auxiliary minister really fell on him, he still felt shocked and inexplicable.
Although this is far from being comparable to the former King Lowen, and the crown prince is already very old and can handle state affairs independently, it is still a very high honor.
In the previous life, there was a saying called Shengjin Taifu, and the death of Wenzheng represented the highest glory of being a courtier, but this is not the case in the current Han Dynasty.
Due to the continuous regency of the Luo family, the highest honor of being a courtier is to become the monarch's trusted ministers, especially those who are entrusted to the holy lord of the Ming Dynasty, which is the highest recognition of the courtiers, and is called "the loyalty of the society and the ability of the society".
Liu Che is undoubtedly the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch, so the gold content of the important ministers he appointed is quite high, in addition to these three people, Liu Che also elected four Tuogu ministers to assist the prince in power.
After making arrangements, issuing an edict, and then promulgating it, after all this was done, Liu Che let everyone retreat.
……
In a few days, the bell in the palace rang, and the ministers who had long been mentally prepared were solemn, dressed in vegetarian clothes and waiting for the summons of the palace.
The summons of the palace came quickly, everyone was mentally prepared for the death of the emperor, everything was ready, the ministers entered the palace, and countless white cloths had been hung in the palace.
The first major event is to assess the temple number and the name of the Emperor Daxing.
The nickname is very simple, basically almost everyone has determined the nickname "Wu" at the first time, and there is really no more suitable for this emperor than Wu.
On the contrary, there are some twists and turns in the evaluation of the temple number, and the temple number has four highest, Tai, Gao, Shi, and Zhong, which are respectively the meaning of creating a foundation, making great contributions, keeping the Lord of the Order and the transfer of lineage, and the Lord of Zhongxing.
For Liu Che, both Gaozong and Sejong are okay, but after some debate, the ministers thought, "Keeping the order of the lord implies the decline of the country, and now the Han Dynasty is as brilliant as the sun, where is there a trace of decline?"
His Majesty's merits and virtues are so high that the Holy Kings of the previous generation cannot even be compared, which is in line with Gaozong's explanation. ”
"Good!"
Emperor Xiaowu of the Great Han Dynasty!
