In the fifteenth year of Yuan Zheng.

In May, the world was amnesty, and Emperor Liu Dan punished those who punished the crime with words, those who were unjust, false and wrongly convicted, and those who were severely punished for minor crimes were all released, and the world rejoiced.

Edict: The princes of Jingnan are all sealed with 500 households, gold, silver, treasures, etc. are not counted, and the title of Jingnan is added to show it.

In June, the ministers agreed on the name of the year, and the next year was the first year of the Yuan seal.

The princes of Jingnan wrote to him, saying, "Emperor Er's sentence has been executed, and he should follow the decree of the imperial court and return to Kanto, the turmoil in Kanto has not yet been calmed down, and the country should not be delayed, so I would like to inform Your Majesty." ”

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor issued an edict to retain.

"Since ancient times, there have been extraordinary kings and extraordinary ministers, the world is out of order, the dynasty is sluggish, I need the assistance of all virtuous ministers, why are you leaving me?

Is this because my virtue is low enough to be assisted by the sages?

Could it be that I am too narrow-minded to accommodate all of you?

Please also give your loyal ministers a lot of consideration.

I am willing to give you the meritorious servants of the Jingjing with the prime minister, the general, the imperial doctor, the Jiuqing and the high-ranking officials of 2,000 stones, and once again sincerely retain you and stay in Chang'an to assist me. ”

Liu Aiji's words were very sincere, whether it was the princes of Jingnan, or the officials and the people, they all praised: "Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, and the blessing of the society." ”

So some of the Jingnan princes stayed, including the founding fathers and ministers, the princes of the Liu clan, and the princes who flourished when Emperor Xiaowu was the emperor.

These people will all usher in wealth and nobility, because the court that has undergone political liquidation is too clean, the three princes and nine ministers are almost empty, and countless positions have been vacated.

But the really richest ones went to the book again to return to Kanto.

Especially Lü Chan, taking out the set of rhetoric that he had said with the Jingnan princes at the beginning, the emperor had no reason to refuse, so Lü Chan became the first of the Jingnan princes to return to Kanto.

Before leaving, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor came to see him off, and the Emperor said softly: "Uncle has returned to Kanto, write a lot of letters to Chang'an, the tree in your courtyard, you must take good care of it, let it thrive, I am very concerned." ”

Lu Chan's pupils shrank when he heard this, and then he bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers will take good care of it, and send letters to Chang'an every month, just like you have seen before." ”

Seeing this scene, several companies that had been thoughtful before accelerated their pace, preparing to return to Kanto to make a fortune.

The nobles of Chang'an fell, and the princes of Kwantung were full, this sentence is the best portrayal of today.

Luo Shi left Chang'an in silence, led the Western Regions and Hexi army back, he took almost all of Liu Dan's daughters and many concubines, and everyone treated them as if they hadn't seen them.

He is now the king of the Northwest.

He rode the best Dawan Tianma, walked out of Longxi, entered Hexi, looked at the vast world in front of him, and then recalled what the emperor said, "Qing, the burden of the northwest is on your body, you are the son of Luo, and you have been in battle for a long time, from the time of Emperor Xiaoding to the present, the town has guarded the Western Regions for ten years, and I am very relieved."

When you return to the Western Regions this time, you must be careful of the whispers of some treacherous people, and don't let the enemy be happy and the relatives be painful, this is all I can say. ”

His gaze involuntarily fell on a boy, and then on the young girls and young women who had gradually recovered from their panic, each of them quite beautiful women, and whispered: "What a not simple emperor, how will you treat these people?" ”

July.

Edict: "Emperor Lu treated the people cruelly, used harsh criminal laws, arrested and imprisoned without much investigation, Han law is like paper, without the slightest majesty, abolishing the law of Emperor Er, using the decree of Emperor Xiaowu."

Do I think that the enforcement of the law should be rigorous, and the result of torture to extract confessions is sincere?

I don't think so.

Is it correct to implement the evidence when it is doubtful?

I don't think so.

The court should handle cases fairly, and the people will obey, this is the truth I knew when I was in exile.

As for the fact that there are big thieves who take advantage of this to get away with it, I don't think there is much to worry about, there are officials and people, there are chivalrous and thieves, and the county government should relax the punishment of revenge on the people, kill people to pay for their lives, and repay debts, why should they stop it?

Speak to the whole world, so that the people may know what I mean. ”

September.

The emperor issued five edicts in a row, almost all traces of Liu Dan as an emperor were cleaned, because Liu Dan was belittled, because Liu Dan was killed to comfort relatives and friends, because of Liu Dan was wronged and all purged, because of Liu Dan and the illustrious and rich have long been exiled.

The political purge of the princes of Jingnan was too superficial, only targeting the most prominent princes, kings and three dukes and nine kings of 2,000 stones, and Liu Aiji's purge even touched the township level, which may have some unjust, false and wrongful convictions, but the effect obtained is extremely significant.

An emperor who had just been on the throne for half a year had prestige and power through this forced choice of sides, and countless officials and ordinary people received his favor and became his hardcore supporters.

November.

The emperor told the world that the princes should stabilize the country, pacify the people, and decree the Kanto, except for the poor and vicious, all the people who made a rebellion were pardoned, and the government did not make statistics, and each could return to his home, so the Kanto region gradually calmed down.

Everything has been settled, and most of the princes in the court are Jingnan, and their momentum is fierce, almost more prosperous than the Yuan Cong Zhuxun when the country was just founded.

December.

Edict: "Emperor Lu is a single husband, just like the king of Xu, there are loyal and upright courtiers in the world who don't know how to use it, so they are bewitched by flattering villains, isn't this because of the reason for partiality and bias?"

Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaowu were fond of recruiting talents, so they were able to create meritorious deeds, but Emperor Xiaoding and Emperor Jie did not do so, so they caused social turmoil.

I was born in Jiaodong, I have never seen the difficulties of the Western Regions, I have never seen the wind and frost of the state, I have never seen the difficulties of Tiannan, I am the monarch of the world, but I don't know the difficulties of the world, this is not what a virtuous monarch should do.

I want to get a virtuous courtier, but the world is thousands of miles big, and in terms of heaven and earth, I am just a drop in the ocean, and it is so difficult to meet all the virtuous ministers.

Now I beseech upon the princes, kings, and magistrates of the four directions, among your counties and nations, to elect for me men of good character and outstanding talents, whom I will treat with respect and dignity. ”

An upright order to seek talents.

An edict that divides power above board.

This is the first time that the empress dowager has looked at her son so solemnly, Liu Ying has sat quietly opposite Lu Ying, Lu Ying asked: "What the emperor has done, but he has thought it through, and the talents recruited are to be given status, and they are in the same class as the heroes of Jingnan." ”

Liu Yi had already looked at his mother, and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "If there were no heroes of the martyrdom, how could you and your son get to this point?"

If there is no martyrdom, the great enemy of the former king may not be able to take revenge in this life.

I wanted to make them more prominent, so I gave them glory.

I want to continue their wealth.

Just like Emperor Gao did, is excessive favor a good thing?

Then you can't give too much reward, that will make them arrogant, then you can't give them all the power, that will make them arrogant.

I don't want them to change, I don't want to get to the point where the sword is against the sword one day, it's so embarrassing, that's what a son can do. ”

Empress Dowager Lu glanced at Liu Ai deeply and said: "You are a smart and resourceful child, so I am reluctant to stop your governance, but smart people usually ignore one thing, that is, people's hearts."

I was born in the Lu family, and there are too many wise and wise monarchs in the history books, but there are not many holy lords who have created meritorious deeds.

Remember, never let the world think that you are a mean and ungrateful king, even if you can dominate the world.

If the courtiers think that you are mean and unkind, then you will no longer be able to get loyal ministers, but all for profit, if you are lucky and have a heart for the community, if you are unlucky, there will only be those who are submissive.

A mean and ungrateful emperor will ruin a hundred years of kindness cultivation.

The emperor was in turmoil, corrupted the society, and the Han family was in danger of overturning.

Because of the century-old legacy of Gao Hui's civil and military affairs, there were Jingnan princes who rose up, killed their only husbands, and did not love power, and returned to the Han family.

In the past, the concubines of the Zhou family assisted King Yi of Zhou, and asked King Yi to move the capital to Luoyang.

The Jingnan princes did not ask to move the capital because they really wanted to restore the Han dynasty.

This is not inferior to the kindness of welcoming your superiority!

If you have a reputation for being mean and unkind, if you liquidate the princes of Jingnan, if the blood of the loyal ministers is brutally extinguished, it will be clearly remembered in the annals of history.

There was once a group of people who saved the Han family, and then they were miserable in their old age.

When there is another disaster like this, there will be no one to save the Han family!

Do you understand? ”

Liu Ai's ears are still echoing the words of the queen mother, Chang'an City in March is still a little cold, but the winter light is very warm, he looked at the majestic Weiyang Palace and the entire palace, and then raised his hands to reflect in the warm sun, very slender and white, but very powerful.

The fifteenth year of Yuan Zheng is about to pass, and the first year of Yuan Feng will come, this is my era!

————

Filial piety was established, and the ministers said: "The country cannot be without a king, and the king cannot be without a queen, please choose a virtuous and virtuous lady as the queen."

We selected the thirty-six ladies of Guanzhong and Kanto and reported them to His Majesty.

Your Majesty should do it, yes. Your Majesty should not, please decree that all the seas will be accepted for Your Majesty. ”

Shang said: "I suffered when I was young, exiled from the world, and lived with an old sword, and now I hold the red sky in my hand, I still remember the old sword, please find it, I use the sword as an appointment to welcome the virtuous queen." ”

The ministers knew what they were referring to, and they all said: "The sword of the time is slight, and this does not live up to the old people, and those who do not live up to the old people, do not live up to the loyalty, integrity, and integrity, and we are fortunate." ”

The ministers then greeted Queen Xu, presented the old sword, and said: "The old man of the old sword, I have peace of mind, and all the ministers are also meritorious." ——"Hanshu: Biography of Foreign Relatives"

"Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Venerable"

The fairy world, the fairy realm of all souls.

The Island of Ten Thousand Beasts, the main altar of the Gate of Ten Thousand Beasts.

In the northwest corner of the island, there is a steep mountain peak, and at the foot of the mountain stands a cyan stone tablet, which is engraved with three big characters of "On Dao Peak".

The top of the hill is a bluestone square covering an area of 100,000 acres, and there is a round stone platform with a hundred zhang in the center of the square.

Tens of thousands of young children, all under the age of 10, gathered in the square, sitting cross-legged on the futon with solemn expressions.

An old man in a green robe with a ruddy face stood on the round stone platform, his gaze sweeping over the young children.

"You have just detected the spiritual root, you are a new disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, the first lesson to you is the origin of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate, this matter should start with the Founding Patriarch Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Venerable, the Founding Patriarch was born in the Qianyang Realm Donghua Cultivation Immortal Realm Qin State, he was just a casual cultivator at that time.
