The emperor is a profession that is "happy".

Those with strong abilities are very painful, and those with weak abilities are helpless. It can call the wind and rain, thunder and thunder, hold the well-being of the people of the four seas, and the soul is thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the world.

However, in the final analysis, the emperor is also a person, a person with heart, lungs, flesh and blood, thoughts, seven emotions and six desires, since he is a human being, then he cannot avoid vulgarity, even if the ministers' mountain calls are calloused, the emperor understands in his heart that long live can only be a dream forever, and when he wakes up from a dream, he should go to heaven and go to heaven, and he should go to hell and go to hell.

Moreover, the special profession of the emperor, its pain is also that the employee cannot retire, and retirement means death. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, there are countless living beings, countless things, and it is rare to have leisure on any day! Sometimes, a big thing has to be approved in person, and once it is passive, a bunch of ministers outside the palace are waiting to move out of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Tang Wu, Jin Wen, Qi Huan and other role models to be initiated.

Liu Heng came over so diligently for three hundred and sixty-five days a year.

He had little entertainment, and when he was young, his only entertainment was to go hunting in Shanglin Yuan and talk and laugh with his playmate Deng Tong. More than 20 years ago, he ascended to the throne with trepidation, and the court wanted to set things right, Liu Heng felt a great responsibility, and naturally did not dare to slack off.

Liu Heng rarely goes out on patrol, according to the current standards, he is an out-and-out otaku, he goes to the front hall every day to 'check in' to work, eats in the imperial dining room, goes back to the harem to sleep after work, reads books, criticizes chapters, and occasionally goes shopping and hunting. Liu Heng also thought that the house was not big enough, he once planned to build a terrace for a night banquet, and later the courtiers reported that it would cost 100 gold, Liu Heng knew that 100 gold was equivalent to ten middle-class families, so he dismissed the idea of building.

Liu Heng would rather stay in the palace and not go on patrol, one of which is that he thinks that the emperor will inevitably be restless and wasteful along the road. Second, although he rarely stepped out of the palace, he was still able to understand the people's sufferings well, of course, thanks to the capable officials he single-handedly promoted.

For more than 20 years, Liu Heng has been walking on thin ice and trembling.

The years are unforgiving, from a heroic young man to a middle-aged man with gray temples. The year of not being confused is the second spring of many people's lives, his father is still living a drunken life at this age, but he shows an old state that is not commensurate with his age.

In a sea of life, when the government and the opposition were overwhelmingly singing praises of virtue, Liu Heng still maintained a calm heart.

He wasn't the only one in the kingdom who knew how many craters were surging in the dark.

Twenty years ago, Jia Yi pointed out the crux of the problem.

Brother Jia, Brother Jia, don't I understand your hard work? However, if I act rashly at that time, the situation will be unpredictable. Brother Jia, Brother Jia, your untimely death is my fault. You know, how heartbroken I am when I read about your hanging owl and bird endowment! I summoned you to the Xuan Room to ask the ghost to ask God, and I really had to do it as a last resort. If God gives me another twenty years, I will definitely adopt Brother Jia's strategy, but the sky will not be a holiday, and the year will not spare people!

Liu Heng put down Jia Yi's recital many years ago, sighed, the cool breeze blew, and he couldn't help coughing a few times.

Suddenly, he thought of his brother Liu Chang, and he was worried again.

After he ascended the throne back then, he loved the only remaining sibling brother a lot, with a car and a meal, and he couldn't understand that he would be instigated to participate in the rebellion. Haven't I loved him enough? Am I not tolerant of him enough? Even after the rebellion, I forgave him. But... I have made irreparable mistakes, if I could have listened to Yuan An's advice and not sent him to Shu County, maybe the king of Huainan would not have died!

The matter of King Huainan at least proves that Jia Yi's judgment of the princes and kings is right, and over the years, I have tried my best to cultivate and recuperate, and I have not been able to fight, and I have adopted a laissez-faire policy towards the princes and kings. Counting up, the old King Wu (Liu Bi) has not come to see me for 20 years, and he must have a grudge against the prince for killing his son by mistake. Lao Wu Wang has been in the army for half his life and has rich practical experience. The King of Qi also had a lot of resentment. If there is a change in the future, and the princes join forces to deal with the imperial court, how should the imperial court respond? If I am not there, who will be able to listen to Qi'er's dispatch? Qi'er is still immature, do you want to leave the mess for him to clean up?

Liu Heng had a headache every time he thought of the question of the princes and kings, because he had been secretly played several times, and the king of Wu was recruiting troops and gathering the dead, and his intention was unknown. For the sake of enriching the country and the people, Liu Heng tries to avoid this problem every time, but when is the end of avoidance, Liu Heng has no bottom in his heart.

For the first time in these days, Liu Heng felt unprecedented tiredness, and his heart was a little uneasy. Liu Heng got up, opened the small window of the apse, and looked at the gorgeous sunset at the end, and his heart suddenly surged.

If his father was alive, what would he say to himself? Although there are still many problems, but in recent years, the country has become rich and the sea has been peaceful, and I, Liu Heng, are finally worthy of the sky, the earth, the country, and the father!

Thinking of this, Liu Heng was immediately refreshed, and he immediately decided to go to the border for a cruise. First, let's see if there are any available generals, and second, we must boost the morale of the border soldiers.

Liu Heng hated Bing Ge. However, the border troubles have always plagued Liu Heng, and after making peace with the Huns, there are fewer wars, but the small fights have never stopped.

After the death of Mao Dun, Lao Shangdan Yu ascended the throne, and after more than ten years of quiet border passes, the Han Dynasty produced a eunuch, named Zhongxing said, was forcibly sent to the Xiongnu and relatives, and Zhongxing said that he resented the Han Dynasty and became a traitor, and persuaded Lao Shangdan Yu to attack the Han Dynasty.

Under the instigation of the Bank of China, Lao Shangdan Yu became a scoundrel, coerced and lured the envoys of the Han Dynasty, and demanded excessively, and if he could not ask for it, he sent troops to attack the Han realm. The Huns have always pursued the principle of fighting if they can win and running away if they can't win.

Once the Han army was found to be lax, it plundered. As soon as the Han army arrived, they ran away without a trace.

I can't hide and hide, I can't fight and I can't fight, in the vast grassland, where to find those Hun bandits? The border guards can only look at the grass and sigh.

The Huns not only plundered the wealth of the frontier population, but sometimes even the border government offices were sabotage.

Liu Heng arrived at the border pass, looked at the suffering people at the border pass, and looked at the vast grassland, the only thing Liu Heng could do was to sigh: "Why don't I have generals like Lian Po and Li Mu, if there is, what are I worried about?" ”

Hearing Liu Heng's emotion, Feng Tang, who was the director of Zhonglang at the time, jumped out and said: "Your Majesty is Lian Po, and a general like Li Mu will not use them?" ”

Feng Tang is very familiar with this person, thanks to the famous sentence in the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" written by Wang Bo in the Tang Dynasty, "Feng Tang is easy to be old, Li Guang is difficult to seal". can appear in famous articles, although there are few opportunities to show your face, but it is also a character.

Feng Tang's words made Liu Heng very angry, and he thought to himself, I have to sigh, you have to say a sentence too! Who do you think you are?

Liu Heng was hindered in front of hundreds of officials, so he could only swallow the words back into his stomach.

When everyone dispersed, Liu Heng summoned Feng Tang in alone and asked, "Why are you humiliating me in front of everyone?" ”

When other people heard this question, they were about to pee their pants and beg for mercy, but Feng Tang replied without changing his face: "Contemptible people don't know how to taboo!" ”

The implication is to say that don't look at you as the emperor, you can say whatever Lao Tzu thinks.

If Feng Tang was not in front of Liu Heng, I am afraid that Feng Tang's life would be over, and if he dared to speak like this in front of the emperor, he would be looking for death.

Liu Heng was different, he continued to ask: "How do you know that I can't use Lian Po, Li Mu?" ”

"Your Majesty's law is too clear, the reward is too light, and the punishment is too heavy. For example, Yunzhong Taishou Wei Shang beheaded the enemy at the sixth level, but His Majesty listened to others' one-sided words and cut his position and locked him up, may I ask Your Majesty Even if you get Lian Po, Li Mu, can you use it? ”

After listening to this, Liu Heng thought for a long time, sighed, waved his hand to Neishi, and ordered Wei Shang to be released and reinstated.

After Feng Tang retreated, Liu Heng's sharp words were circling in his mind for a long time, he raised his eyes to look at the endless mountains outside Guancheng, and sighed lightly again, thinking that he was not a man of great talent, and the Xiongnu problem could only be solved by the juniors.

Liu Heng ended the parade at the border with deep worries, he put most of his energy into the work of enriching the country and the people, although he didn't like swordsmen, but Liu Heng knew very well that sooner or later there would be a duel between Han and Hungary. And all he can do is to try to accumulate national strength for the arrival of this moment.

In the 22nd year of Emperor Wen (158 years ago), the perennial border troubles finally evolved into a large-scale invasion of the Xiongnu in Yunzhong, Shangjun, only a hundred miles away from Chang'an.

The sudden dispatch of the Xiongnu made the Han court extremely nervous, Liu Heng sent a three-way army to defend Chang'an, in order to boost morale, he went to the barracks in person to work for the first time, and the army worked hard, but this trip down, Liu Heng finally found a person to rely on.

He discovered Zhou Yafu's generals.

Zhou Yafu is the chief general of the Xiliu military camp, and the military discipline is strict, and even Liu Heng must dismount and slow down when he enters the military camp.

Liu Heng is very happy, who said that there are no generals in this dynasty, Zhou Yafu is also!

A month after the Xiongnu invasion, they did not confront the Han army head-on, so they retreated by mistake.

Liu Heng's hanging heart was put down.

Soon after, Liu Heng promoted Zhou Yafu to lieutenant and was in charge of the guards of Changle Palace.

In the 23rd year of Emperor Wen, on a summer night, the apse of Weiyang Palace was brightly lit as usual, Liu Heng finished reading the courtier's chapter, and was about to get up, when suddenly a strange wind blew the Xuan window open, and then Liu Heng suddenly felt dizzy, and a mouthful of blood spurted out and spit on the slip.

Deng Tong, who was serving outside, saw this and cried: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" ”

When the imperial doctor arrived, Liu Heng was already in a coma on the sickbed. After the imperial doctor took the pulse, he shook his head directly at Queen Dou and the crown prince Liu Qi. The tears that Queen Dou and Liu Qiqiang endured suddenly burst out of their eyes.

Probably hearing the cry, Liu Heng opened his eyes slightly, waved his hand to Deng Tong, and passed on Prime Minister Shen Tujia, Ting Lieutenant Zhang Shizhi, and Lieutenant Zhou Yafu to come and see him.

After a while, the three ministers hurried over. entered Liu Heng's dormitory one after another, and when they came out, the three of them all had tears on their faces, and nodded to Queen Dou and the crown prince, but they were all choked up.

Empress Dou and the crown prince Liu Qi were then announced.

Seeing the queen and the crown prince, Liu Heng motioned for everyone else to go out, Liu Heng forced out a smile, adding a little more to the originally sad atmosphere, and comforted their mother and daughter: "Queen, emperor, I... I... I'm going to see the emperor, everything in the court has been arranged, you can rest assured..."Empress Dou and Liu Qi have already cried into tears.

At this moment, there was another cry outside the curtain.

"Son, my son..."

It turned out that the old empress dowager Bo heard that Liu Heng was seriously ill, and she didn't care about the couch for many years, and came to Weiyang Palace tremblingly with the support of the maid.

When Liu Heng saw his mother coming, he also wanted to support himself, but he was weak, so he could only say: "The queen mother, the son is not filial, and it disturbs the queen mother..."

The old empress dowager Bo looked at her beloved son with tears, held Liu Heng's hand, and rubbed it gently, "Son, don't say this to scare the queen mother, so that you can live and recuperate, and your mother will personally cook your favorite jade soup and lotus root soup." ”

At this moment, the old Empress Dowager Bo is like an ordinary family, she only has her own son in front of her, so she can't take care of the royal etiquette system, and the school language is the only way to show the affection between mother and son.

Looking at his mother's sadness, Liu Heng's tears couldn't stop flowing, "Queen Mother, don't be sad, there is no regret in this life, what I regret is that I can't serve my mother for the rest of my life..."

Empress Dou and Liu Qi sobbed and nodded again and again.

"Queen, I can't, I can't accompany you anymore, Qi'er will hand... I'll leave it to you, I'll go... After leaving, you can let Qi'er follow as soon as possible... Succeed to the throne in case of change! Empress Dou sobbed, shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you will definitely get better!" ”

Liu Heng took the hands of the mother and daughter, and slowly said to Liu Qi with the last trace of strength: "Qi'er, let's go... After leaving, the funeral matters were Jane, the thin burial, and the edict had been transferred to the prime minister, and the court lieutenants each held a copy. If there is an emergency, Zhou Yafu should be used as the captain. The border troubles of the Huns, it is better to defend than to attack, and not to consume people's strength... Be kind... Be kind to Deng Tong, Zhang Shizhi..."

After speaking, Liu Heng closed his eyes forever. The thin queen on the side couldn't bear Liu Heng's departure, and actually passed out. It should be noted that Empress Dowager Bo died suddenly a year later because of her thoughts.

There was a cry beside the sickbed, and the ministers who had come in a hurry heard the cry outside the hall, and they also knelt down and wept in unison.

A generation of saints has finally finished his life, and he can finally rest. Liu Heng, the temple name Taizong, Emperor Xiaowen, died at the age of forty and six. As mentioned earlier, the writer is a writer who writes through heaven and earth, is morally broad, is kind and courteous, asks questions without shame, and is kind and loves the people.

Liu Heng is worthy of this.
