Liu Xiu is a person who can understand and employ people very well, but "Guangwu knows people, but Feng Yan is still lost", especially for Ma Yuan, it is too mean. ”

"Ma Yuan's death has nothing to do with Liu Xiu, but Ma Yuan couldn't be buried after his death, but Liu Xiu is the culprit."

"Typical cases include Dai She, Han Xin, and Liu Xiu, who have given a lot of benefits to the minister, but they are still too harsh on the minister."

"In order to strengthen the imperial power, Liu Xiu personally selected and appointed the officials of the court and the central government, and the work for them was very heavy, and he sent commissioners to supervise the pickets.

"But Liu Xiu changes officials too often, and the people are also very uncomfortable, and at the same time, treacherous people take the opportunity to falsely accuse good people and suppress dissidents, anyway, as soon as they report it, Liu Xiu will reprimand or remove them from their official positions."

"Dai Sheguan was appointed as the Great Situ, and he was the third duke, this was originally a high-powered and weighty person, but he was only convicted of bribery and perversion of the law by the recommended person, and finally died in prison."

"Not only that, but Liu Xiu also dismissed Sikong Dou Rong from his position because of the fact that the three princes communicate in government affairs and are responsible for each other."

"Han Xin was originally the Taishou of Hanoi under the first emperor Liu Xuan, and when Liu Xiu recovered Hanoi, Han Xin originally wanted to defend and block the attack, but later surrendered to Liu Xiu under the persuasion of Cen Peng."

"With this entanglement, Liu Xiu hates Han Xin very much, you don't want to surrender to me, if it weren't for Cen Peng to say good things, Han Xin would have been beheaded by Liu Xiu."

"Han Xin has an upright personality, has something to say, has been against Liu Xiulong's scales several times, and was later promoted to the rank of Da Situ, one day during the court meeting, he suddenly stood up and pointed fingers, talked eloquently, and argued one of his own points of view, there will be a great famine this year."

"Liu Xiu was furious and dismissed Han Xin from office and sent him back to his hometown, which was not relieved, and Liu Xiu issued an edict to condemn Han Xin."

"The minister was condemned on the way to dismissal, which was an unspoken rule in the Han Dynasty to force the minister to commit suicide, Han Xin knew that Liu Xiu was very angry, so he committed suicide with his son on the road."

"Han Xin doesn't know how to look at words and feelings, and has repeatedly offended Liu Xiu in public, this may not be a good courtier, but the crime is not to death."

Cheng Yanjin: The dead are big, why bother with a corpse.

Li Shimin: No matter how perfect an emperor is, it seems that he can't listen to slander.

Liu Heng: With such a suppression, how can any courtier be cautious!

"In order to strengthen the imperial power and suppress the power of the ministers, Liu Xiu also set up Shangshutai outside the Three Dukes, which was led by Shangshuling, who participated in the uploading and issuance of government affairs, and was directly responsible to the emperor, with low power and high power."

"However, Shangshutai was later controlled by eunuchs and relatives, and the power of the court was never in the hands of the emperor, which was an important reason for the political darkness at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty."

Qin Shi Huang: "People are not sages, who can do nothing", Yu does not hide his flaws, he is already very good.

Lis: This man has done well enough, he has his own historical limitations, and this is the first time I've heard of a near-perfect emperor, much better than the previous ones.

"Then the last mistake should be that Liu Xiu is too pretty."

The most famous proverbs in history are: the Qin Dynasty's "Hu Ye, the Dead Qin", the Han Wu Emperor's "Acting Han Dynasty When Tu Gao", the Tang Dynasty's "Three Queens of the Heroine Wu Wang Dynasty have the world" and so on. ”

When Liu Xiu had not yet made a career, there was a proverb "Liu Xiu should be the Son of Heaven", and later Liu Xiu really responded to the proverb, so Liu Xiu believed in the proverb very much throughout his life. ”

"In fact, as early as the era of Wang Mang before Liu Xiu, the doctrine of Wei Wei was very popular, and Liu Xin next to Wang Mang was a master of Wei Wei, and it developed into the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the theory of Wei Wei was still very active."

"Proverbs can be used as an important ideological weapon at some point to control the minds of ordinary people, but throughout the Eastern Han Dynasty, proverbs are forbidden and do not stop, and the harm is very deep."

"Liu Xiu, a staunch weftist, Liu Xiu, who can be called the holy lord of the Ming monarch, has done a lot of ridiculous things in his life."

"At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, Liu Xiu appointed officials according to the hints in "Red Fufu".

"In the Guangwu Dynasty, if anyone doesn't believe in Yu Wei, they will be unlucky, I will simply list three."

"Zheng Xing was one of the four great academic masters in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he specialized in the "Spring and Autumn Zuo Biography", and the Eastern Han Dynasty's "Zuo Biography" school, half of which came from his disciples."

"Zheng Xing believes in the Mandate of Heaven, but he does not believe in Weiwei, he is a theist and believes in the induction of heaven and man."

At the same time, he did not think that Heaven would send down a "holy decree", and all the prophecies were just fools. ”

"Once, Liu Xiu consulted Zheng Xing about sacrifices."

"Liu Xiu wanted to use the Wei Wei to set the suburban festival ceremony, but Zheng Xing just said that I don't understand the Wei Wei, which made Liu Xiu angry."

Zheng Xing is quite knowledgeable, and he escaped punishment with "I haven't learned the prophecy, it doesn't mean that the prophecy is wrong", because he didn't rely on the prophecy theory, Zheng Xing couldn't be reused for the rest of his life. ”

Yin Min's thinking is generally close to that of Zheng Xing, and he is also a theist who opposes the Confession, and also advocates "the Five Classics, benevolence, righteousness, and righteousness." ”

Soon after the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu ordered Yin Min to sort out the diagrams left over from the new dynasty, but Yin Min was unwilling, he said: "Prophecy is not the words of a saint, there are many mistakes, and it will delay future generations." "Liu Xiu didn't listen, and drove the ducks on the shelves, so Yin Min came to attack the shield with the spear of the son."

"It means that when Yin Min saw a place where there was a lack of text, he put a pen to add a sentence there, "Jun has no mouth for Han Fu", and "Jun" has no mouth, which is "Yin", which means that the surname Yin should be an auxiliary minister as the prime minister!"

Liu Xiu was stunned and asked Yin Min what do you mean by this?

"Yin Min said with a big grin, isn't the predecessor of Tu Yu just adding and decreasing like this, I also learn, and if I am lucky, I may be able to make my dream come true!"

"Yin Min pointed directly to the essence of the diagram, this thing should be from heaven logically, but in fact, it is basically a forgery, and it is not reliable at all."

"Didn't you Liu Xiu appoint a Sun Xian who popped out of nowhere to be the big Sima with "Red Fu Fu", why can't I deceive a Zai?"

"Poke your shield with your spear and see what you do!"

"Yin Min openly challenged Liu Xiu, but the method was too ingenious, so that Liu Xiu couldn't be angry, although he escaped the blame, he was also at the bottom of the slim line for the rest of his life and couldn't stretch."

Huan Tan was the greatest master of scripture between the Han Dynasty and an astronomer, and he was even hailed as the "Prime Minister of Su", and his New Analects was revered as comparable to the Analects. ”

"Unlike Zheng Xing and Yin Min, Huan Tan is an atheist, and he is also a staunch anti-weft scholar."
