As the heir personally designated by Liu Jin, there were no waves, and Liu Dan accepted the congratulations of the ministers in Changle Palace and became the emperor.

In the Changle Palace.

Liu Dan excitedly touched this, touched that, and a huge surprise filled his whole body, "Taifu, widow, no, I, what should I do now?" ”

Taifu twisted his beard lightly and said: "Your Majesty, the first emperor gave you the position of the Son of Heaven, now it is time for you to establish the prestige of the Son of Heaven, if you want to establish your prestige, it is to capture the hearts of some courtiers and the people of the world, and then make merits." ”

Hearing this, Liu Dan paced in circles, then clapped his hands and said: "The biggest thing in the emperor's life was the defeat of the southern kingdom, and even died of depression because of this."

As a brother, it is not in line with filial piety not to avenge the royal brother.

It is said that the controversy in the court was fierce, and many people wanted to start the war again, and it must not be sustainable if it did not conform to the people's will.

If I can defeat the Southwest Yi, it will not only avenge the imperial brother, but also earn enough prestige, and also conform to the hearts of the people in the current court.

Taifu, I think this should be done. ”

Taifu smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, what you said is right, that is, it should be so, summon the ministers into the palace and announce the news to them." ”

War is a continuation of politics, a means to achieve political goals, the current situation of the Han Dynasty, it is very necessary to this war, whether it is victory or defeat, as long as that frustrating atmosphere is emanated, this controversy involving the entire court will at least stop.

The ministers entered the palace with their own thoughts, especially the important ministers, looking at each other, and they were calculating in their hearts, I don't know how many people will be left here in the next few years.

Once the son of heaven and a courtier, the emperor's in-laws are old, and the vassals of the kingdom are all going to come to the court to serve, and there are so many positions, so naturally someone has to give up their positions.

The courtiers fell one after another, Liu Dan looked around the hall, full of unfamiliar faces, and said: "Zhongqing, I have received the trust of the imperial brother and can inherit the social power of the Han Dynasty.

After only a few days of long-term happiness, I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, and worried day and night, lest I betray the trust of the imperial brother and damage the benevolence of the imperial brother.

I meditated in Changle and couldn't solve it, so I asked all Aiqing about the government, and asked all Aiqing to share my worries. ”

Most of the ministers present were human spirits, and as soon as they heard this, they knew that the emperor was going to ask what to do next, and the general directly came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister received a report from the front, and when Nanxi Yi heard that the first emperor Bintian, he actually congratulated him and said, 'The emperor of the Han Dynasty died in the god of the Li people', which was extremely rampant.

The king is the face of the world, the king is humiliated, as a courtier should go to the desperate, the minister asks for war, pacifies the southwest Yi, and dedicates the head of the king of Yi to the Changle Palace, hanging on the tower of Chang'an City. ”

When Liu Dan heard this, he was instantly angry and said, "Is Southwest Yi so rampant?

I was shocked.

The royal brother is a king of high moral character, and he treats everything in the world with kindness, and he believes in me and puts the world in my hands, what kind of kindness is this?

If I can't avenge my brother, will I still have the face to sit in the supreme position in this world?

I should be conscripted against the Southwest Yidi!

All the Aiqing here, what is the only one who has hatred for Nanxiyi?

In this vast pass, how many people want to go to the south to take revenge and retrieve the corpses of their relatives?

That's what I'm concerned about.

When I was still a prince, my father once told me that there were countless loyal courtiers guarding the Han Dynasty, and there was no need to worry.

Therefore, if you want the Mandate of Heaven of the Han Dynasty to continue forever, you must clear the Yidi in all directions so that they cannot encroach on the land of the Han Dynasty.

Make Zhuxia forever strong and the world forever prosperous, so that the emperor will bless the destiny of the Han Dynasty.

Now that Southwest Yi dares to attack Zhuxia, I can't sit idly by and watch my people fall into Yidi's slaughter, that's not what a monarch should do.

Call on the princes, princes, kings, and people of the world to go to war with the southwest again.

It is my order to order the whole army to demolish their houses, to erase their language, to destroy their flesh, to exterminate them. ”

Liu Dan is really violent, when he followed Huo Quai's illness in the Liaodong Metropolitan Protectorate, when he was a teenager, he fought and killed at every turn, and he was even more inappropriate in the face of Hu Ren, and he has always been very ruthless.

Taifu sat in the hall and nodded, although the emperor did not learn or know, but at least his memory was still very good, and these words were said without missing anything.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

As soon as Liu Dan's words fell, a tsunami-like sound sounded in the hall, and a large group of people stood up and shouted, and when they looked closely, they were all ministers who had written to fight again.

The general and others were very excited, after such a long tug-of-war, and even survived the death of an emperor, this huge controversy finally came to an end, ending with the victory of the main battle faction, and the officials who were unwilling to carry out the war had a slightly bleak future, coupled with the suicide of the prime minister, a considerable number of officials were driven from Chang'an to the place.

Liu Dan looked at the past one by one, most of them were military generals, and the personnel were mainly composed of three parts.

The first part is naturally the liehous, the representatives of the military meritorious nobles.

The second part is the high-ranking generals who do not have a liemarquis, they have a lot of merit, but they have not yet reached the standard of a marquis, so they hope to continue the war to get promoted.

The third part is somewhat similar to the second part, which is the distant branch of the clan, the princely kingdom is in a state of abolition, or is about to be abolished, and now it needs merit to transform into a military meritorious family, or military merit is needed to maintain the existence of the kingdom.

Liu Dan saw that the personnel of this group of main battle factions were so widely distributed, he shook his head helplessly, he didn't understand why his imperial brother wanted to stop the war, the feelings of the group had already surged to this point, even if it was hard-headed, then he had to fight this battle.

Besides, Liu Dan really didn't take it seriously.

Because of the Liaodong Metropolitan Protectorate, the northeastern front of the Han Dynasty was greatly moved forward, and the King of Zhao, who had controlled the military affairs of Zhao, Dai, and Yan, lost his wartime command and was replaced by the Liaodong Metropolitan Protector.

After the death of the champion Marquis Jinghuan, in the power structure of the Liaodong Metropolitan Protectorate, his position as the king of Northern Yan became very important.

According to Liu Dan's thoughts, it was easy for me to fight those strong and powerful nomads in Liaodong, and Nanxi Yi was like a monkey, and it was easy to defeat.

At the beginning, Liu Dan read the war report of the Han Dynasty's conquest of Southwest Yi, and after reading it, he felt that it was really outrageous, completely giving up his advantages, and then being unlucky to the extreme, lack of food and illness led to a great reduction in the combat effectiveness of the Han army, and finally was scattered by Yi Di in a wave, lost his command, completely bombed the camp, and trampled on each other to death.

At that time, Liu Dan commented with Taifu: "Your Majesty must not have read the book of war, and you have not seen the battle of Changping in which Qin State Bai Qi defeated Zhao State in the past.

It is terrible to have a war in the middle of this mountain.

Once the enemy guards the pass, there is no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground, and one carelessness will wipe out the entire army. ”

Liu Dan took out the strategy he had formulated, he was quite confident in martial affairs, asked the eunuch to hand it over to the ministers, and said with a smile: "This is my strategy, you Aiqing can take a look." ”

————

Although there were twists and turns in the pacification of the Southwest Yi of the Han Dynasty, it was generally smooth, this was a complete war of national strength, and the extremely backward civilization of the Southwest Yi faced the high-level civilization of the Han Dynasty, once the rulers of the Han Dynasty did not make mistakes, the author could not find any chance of victory in the Southwest Yi.

This proves from the side that Emperor Ding of the Han Dynasty was indeed not an emperor who was good at martial arts, and the southwest, as a territory, remained firmly in the management of the Zhuxia system and even the central dynasty.

Although limited to the complex terrain and the cost of rule, the Han court was not willing to develop the southwest, but the sacredness of sovereignty is unquestionable, which is an immortal achievement, which greatly enhanced the prestige of the emperor and sat on the throne, and then the Han Dynasty began everything that followed, the author will tell in detail. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
