Liu Xun was faced with one of the most pleasant choices.

Strategically, any side that supports the Xiongnu is in favor of its own side.

However, for the sake of the tranquility of the border, Liu Xun still had to think carefully.

Hu Han's evil army is weak, and he is willing to bow his head and call himself a minister, and although Zhi Zhi is also sincere in his words and sends his son as a hostage, this Shan Yu even has to kill his own brother, and his character is really not flattering.

The facts are in front of you, and it seems that even a three-year-old child can see who to support, but Liu Xun is a person with a sense of the overall situation, and his idea is not just to make a simple choice, what he wants to consider is the long-term peace and stability of the border.

If he helped either side of the Xiongnu destroy the other, what would he get?

The result could have been that the Xiongnu regained unity, or even became stronger. A unified and powerful adversary as his neighbor is something that no monarch wants to see.

Just imagine, to support a powerful and unified enemy by yourself, this kind of approach, either the brain is caught by the door panel or wants to die.

Liu Xun is obviously not a person who wants to die, his brain is very useful, and he quickly thought of a perfect solution.

Treating the Hu Han evil who was a minister and came to worship, he adopted Xiao Wangzhi's opinion, received him with a courtesy higher than the princes and kings and lower than the emperor, rewarded and sealed the marquis, and at the same time issued an edict to the world to praise the Han evil in worship.

The purpose of this move is to announce to all countries that the Hu Han evil has been placed under the protection of the Han court, and whoever wants to fight him must first weigh and weigh.

As for Hu Hanxie's request to send troops to quell the rebellion, he did not mention a word, which was also regarded as giving Zhizhi a face.

Liu Xun's "cunning" can be seen in general, I hope that you are divided by the Huns, he will not offend any party, as long as he is willing to bow his head, the title of gold, silver and jewelry can be rewarded, but he can't promise to send troops.

As the evil side of Hu Han, with Liu Xun's assurance, the stone in his heart was also put down, he was now extremely embarrassed, and he couldn't take out the generous gifts, so he could only pat his chest and assure Liu Xun of the peace of the northwest border.

Liu Xun was very satisfied with Hu Hanxie's assurance, and also dispelled Liu Xun's worries about sending troops to help him later.

Zhi Zhi saw that Hu Han Xie had been protected by the Han Ting, so he naturally did not dare to act rashly, and he saw that Hu Han Evil's people were eating and drinking spicy food in Chang'an, and he was also very red-eyed, and he kept sending envoys to come.

However, Liu Xun's treatment to them was always lower than that of Hu Han's evil side.

This made Zhi Zhi restless, unable to fight, and his kung fu was not as good as his younger brother, Zhi Zhi was worried that in the long run, Hu Han Evil would become stronger and stronger with the help of Han Ting, and one day, they would come over to grab the territory.

In the long run, life is really unbearable.

Zhizhi then decided to move west and gave up his territory.

Hu Han was able to return to Mobei and take charge of most of the Xiongnu homeland.

As a result, the 50-year-long peace on the Han-Hungarian border was established, and Han-Hungarian relations entered the most stable era. Later, Hu Hanye married a Han wife, who was one of the four beauties------ Qi woman Wang Zhaojun.

The country under Liu Xun's governance has truly ushered in a prosperous era.

The country has nothing to do, the officials are clear, the people live and work in peace and contentment, all walks of life are thriving, and there is a new situation in Han-Hungarian relations.

He was indeed relieved and proud.

It's a pity that Liu Xun feels that his body is not as good as before, and he even often recalls some old things, in Liu Xun's opinion, this is a sign of old age.

Liu Xun is about to start making the necessary layouts for the future.

Liu Xun is a person who is not proud of his achievements, he thinks that the country can come to the present in his hands, and it is closely related to those living and dead courtiers, and he is just using the right person.

Therefore, he ordered people to paint portraits of eleven heroes who have made great contributions one by one and enshrined them in the Qilin Pavilion.

Among them, the first place is naturally Huo Guang, considering that his descendants rebelled, he only has a surname in the portrait, no name, followed by Zhang Anshi, Han Zeng, Zhao Chongguo, Wei Xiang, Bingji, Du Yannian, Liu De, Liang Qiuhe, Xiao Wangzhi, Su Wu.

Among the eleven people, they are distributed on various fronts, some are engaged in military affairs, some are engaged in government work, some are engaged in diplomacy, and some are engaged in clan affairs, and they are all outstanding figures in various systems. Among the eleven people, only Xiao Wangzhi is still alive.

Xiao Wangzhi is a descendant of Xiao He, but his family passed down to his grandparents, but he was just a flat-headed farmer. In order to change his fate, Xiao Wangzhi picked up the scroll. With his own ingenuity, Xiao Wangzhi has achieved success in his studies and has become famous among Confucian scholars in Chang'an.

Xiao Wangzhi was summoned by Huo Guang under the recommendation of Bingji, Huo Guang tried a few times, and found that Xiao Wangzhi was indeed talented, and wanted to be retained, but Xiao Wangzhi was very disgusted with Huo Guang's dictatorship and refused to be attached, so he was abandoned by Huo Guang.

You may think that Xiao Wangzhi is not bad, but he is also a marquis. Actually, this Xiaoyuan Dongmen Hou is not a Hou Ye, he is just a sesame mung bean official, at most he is a director of the guard.

Xiao Wangzhi's Bole is Wei Xiang, after Huo Guang's death, Xiao Wangzhi was appreciated by Wei Xiang and made a great ruling ceremony.

Xiao Wangzhi was valued by Liu Xun because of an allusion to Huo's rebellion, and it was precisely because of this note that Xiao Wangzhi walked away from Liu Xun's sight.

Liu Xun had just taken power, and there were many unknowns in governing the country, he often consulted Xiao Wangzhi, and Xiao Wangzhi could always give reasonable advice, so Xiao Wangzhi quickly did it to consult the doctor, the prime minister, the young government, etc.

Liu Xun wanted to test Xiao Wangzhi's ability to govern the local area, and appointed him as Zuo Fengyi, serving as the administrative head of the Gyeonggi region, accumulating practical governance skills. Three years later, he was promoted to Dahonglu because of his political achievements.

In 59 BC, Xiao Wangzhi replaced Bingji as the imperial historian.

In the long-term observation of Xiao Wangzhi, Liu Xun still found his shortcomings.

Although Xiao Wangzhi is talented, he is proud of his talents, and often looks down on others, so he offends many people, especially the eunuchs Honggong, Shi Xian and others who offended Liu Xun's side, in the second year of Wufeng (56 years ago), Xiao Wangzhi was denounced for not caring about the prime minister's illness, being powerful, and greedy for money. Liu Xun knew that Xiao Wangzhi had a problem with arrogance, but his talent was obvious to all, and he was unwilling to treat him. Moreover, considering that his health is not as good as before, the prince is benevolent and weak, and he must be assisted by important ministers, so he secretly arranged to demote Xiao Wangzhi to the prince's left master, and accompany the prince to study, which is also an obvious protective measure, lest Xiao Wangzhi be sacrificed on the fire pit before he hangs up.

Liu Xun's intention is actually very clear, he wants to leave Xiao Wangzhi for his son, so no one dares to report Xiao Wangzhi after this denunciation.

The Imperial Historian was succeeded by Huang Ba, who only sat in the Imperial Historian seat for one year. In the third year of Wufeng (55 years ago), Bingji died of illness, and Huang Ba's buttocks were not hot, so he succeeded Bingji as prime minister, and Yu Shi Dafu was promoted by Du Yannian.

As we all know, Huang Ba squatted on the trumpet, he was a person who was not afraid of heaven and earth, he was a maverick official in Huo Guang's era, and other officials used punishment as a means to cater to Huo Guang's taste, but he didn't think so and disobeyed Huo Guang's policy. Therefore, Huang Ba was not valued by Huo Guang until Liu Xun ascended the throne, and Huang Ba was transferred to the Central Committee with excellent political achievements.

However, Huang Ba's level as prime minister is obviously not as good as his predecessors Wei Xiang and Bingji, nor is it as good as his successor Yu Dingguo.

In the second year of Ganlu (52 years ago), Du Yannian died of illness, and Yu Dingguo, who was as famous as the previous generation Zhang Shizhi, was promoted to the imperial historian.

In the third year of Ganlu (51 years ago), just one year, Huang Ba died in office, and after his death, Yu Dingguo succeeded him as prime minister, and Yu Shi Dafu was succeeded by Chen Wannian.

Needless to say, Yu Dingguo naturally did a good job in Tingwei, and he was full of praise from top to bottom.

For Chen Wannian, Liu Xun is indeed blind, having said that, his important ministers are all seventy or eighty, and there is really no one to use, so they can only make do with it. Chen Wannian doesn't care about money, most of his money is used to tie up the Xu family and the Shi family, especially in Shi Gao, the Marquis of Leling, who has an infinitely bright future, and he has invested blood. Chen Wannian is proficient in the way of patting horses and greeting people, and can be promoted from a small official to a doctor of imperial history, and the art of drilling camps can be described as perfect.

It is said that when this old man was teaching his son the way to be an official, his son dozed off, and Brother Chen was furious, and said while holding a stick: "I'm teaching you, why are you asleep?" His son said impatiently: "I know what you teach, don't you just want to pat the horse and welcome it?" When Brother Chen heard this, his face turned blue and white for a while, and he was speechless. It is estimated that his heart has already blossomed, and if his son really understands the essence of it, is he afraid that there will be no successor?

Of course, Chen Wannian is not without merits, at least this old man is diligent and has a good work attitude. This is one of the reasons why Liu Xun takes a fancy to him.

In addition to the above people, Liu Xun also focused on cultivating a person from a foreign relative's historian, who was Shi Gao, the Marquis of Leling, and had been serving as Liu Xun's close minister.

Shi Gao can't say how powerful he is, but with the identity of the Shi family and the work experience of various yamen, he is naturally very popular, and he has already entered Liu Xun's layout.

In the first year of Huanglong (49 years ago), in December, winter, the palace was surprisingly cold, the air was filled with a strong smell of medicine, everyone frowned, occasionally looked at the maids and guards in the palace whispered softly, the crystal ice hairpin hung all over the eaves of the carved dragon and phoenix, and the cold and murderous atmosphere.

The crown prince Xiao Wangzhi, the young master Zhou Kan, and the Marquis of Leling Shi Gao were urgently summoned into the palace, and the hundred officials heard the wind and knelt outside the palace gate.

I don't know how long later, a cry came from the emperor's bedroom.

Everyone couldn't hold back any longer, and they wailed one after another, and they cried out in their mouths, Your Majesty, Your Majesty...

Liu Xun was 43 years old when he died, and he reigned for 25 years. In the past 25 years, the country has been strong, the rulers are clear, and there are very few wars, which can be described as a blessed and blessed son of peace.

Liu Xunmiao is called Zhongzong, Emperor Xuan.
