Lu Ze pointed at it casually again,

"By the way, Chen Ping's son Chen Mai is also there, and the doll with a sharp face is.

Standing beside him was Xiahou Zao, the son of Tenggong Xiahou Ying. ”

Well, Chen Ping has been careful everywhere in his life, forbearance and hibernation, and improvisation, but the title he got in his life has only been passed down for three generations, and his great-grandson Chen He was later abandoned by death due to a small mistake, and the country was removed.

And Xiahou Ying's great-grandson was not spared, and was crowned with adultery during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Lu Pheasant got up before dawn today to deal with government affairs, and chatted with Xiao He for a long time about South Vietnam, and it was afternoon in a blink of an eye.

She stood in the scorching sunlight for a long time, and heard Lu Ze still gushing in her ear, and she didn't know which heartstring was touched by the pile of immature smiling faces in front of her, she was in a trance, and she couldn't tell what day it was.

"It's basically all here, right?"

"Well, almost.

It's just the kid on the far right in the second row, which you haven't seen yet. ”

Following the guidance of Lu Ze's gaze, Lu Pheasant saw a childish young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, who looked about the same age as the crown prince Liu Ying, and was not tall, but his eyebrows were already full of a heroic aura that did not match his age.

"That's Zhou Bo's second son, called Yafu, very clever."

Well, it turns out that this young man is the last leader of the group of meritorious veterans, and the ultimate pride.

At this time, the ignorant child was Zhou Yafu, a famous general who was bullied to death by Emperor Jing after he was ordered to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms for Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty in the future.

Historically, after Zhou Yafu was forced to death on trumped-up charges, Emperor Jing had a guilty conscience after all, and in order to save his reputation for crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, he changed the title of Zhou Yafu's younger brother Zhou Jian as the marquis.

However, Zhou Jian's son could not escape the tragic fate of the patriarch's family, and finally fell into the crime in the fifth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and was eliminated from the country.

The successive declines of the meritorious group and their children are not only a simple explanation of the bird's exhaustion, but also the characteristics of the imperial power through the ages.

Lu Pheasant, who is reincarnated, has the experience of seizing power step by step and becoming the emperor, so he can see it more clearly.

In the final analysis, this has to be attributed to the fact that the monarchy of the early Han Dynasty was not strong enough, and the influence of the hero group was too great.

***

According to the history books, the ability of this group of heroes in the early Han Dynasty is staggering.

After Liu Ji's death, Liu Ying also died early, and the historical Empress Lu had to support his young son as the young emperor, while he continued to preside over the government.

On the day when Empress Lu was alive, because of her shock and encirclement, the heroes did not dare to act rashly, and the sea was very stable.

But once she died, the heroes immediately "reversed" and easily abolished the young emperor she set up.

And the reason for the killing was that it was purely a matter of the impurity of the young emperor's bloodline.

After the success of "Reverse Lu", followed by "An Liu".

For the heroes, the high-sounding "An Liu" is actually the easiest master to choose for himself among Liu Ji's heirs.

At that time, the surviving sons of Liu Ji were all in a passive position of being chosen, and the ministers of the liehou based on their own interests, carefully weighed, and finally unanimously chose Liu Heng, the son of Bo Ji, who was later Emperor Wen of Han.

Liu Heng's reason for being selected is very simple, because Bo Ji has a gentle personality and a weak mother's family, so she will not repeat the mistake of Empress Lu abusing power.

As a result, the heroes completed the act of "establishing the king with ministers", which was completely contrary to the political principle of the monarch's respect and inferiority, and the acting king Liu Heng was also welcomed to the capital from thousands of miles away, becoming the new emperor after the chaos was rectified.

It's a pity, Lu Pheasant thought regretfully, no matter how high the merit of the patriarchs, they were ministers after all, they never understood the emperor's heart, and they didn't understand the person sitting on the throne, the deepest worry in their hearts.

For all the emperors who have been promoted, just like Gaozu Liu Ji and the new emperor Liu Heng, the first major thing after sitting firmly is to completely eliminate the strength of the elders and re-nominate others.

Therefore, Liu Heng, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Qi, the later Emperor Jing, persevered in continuing to strengthen the centralization of power, using all moral and immoral ways to restrain the elders, and finally formed the supreme imperial power in the whole world during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

This is a tragedy in which all people participate, from Liu Ji to Empress Lu, to the Hero Group, to the children of the Liu family, everyone has lost their minds in the frenzied power struggle, and no one has really won the battle.

And now, God has given her a new opportunity to try to completely reverse this regret from the beginning.

***

The king is the king, the minister is the minister, the power was withdrawn earlier, and other talented people were introduced into the court earlier, which also saved the heroes from holding the hot potato, losing ground and retreating, and at a loss.

Seeing Liu Ying running towards him in the distance, Lu Pheasant stretched out his hand to pull him, and silently thought in his heart, the great principle of the division of monarchs and ministers must be deeply implanted in their hearts, so as to not only protect themselves, but also to avoid disasters for them, perhaps, they can also leave a lot of talents for governing the world for future generations.

And this great truth, it is estimated that it needs the help of Confucian propaganda to penetrate into the hearts of the people, which is a later story.

Also, the tragic fate of the patriarchs is certainly the inevitable result of too much power, but it also has a lot to do with the fact that they were born in cloth clothes and will not be able to teach their children.

Based on her experience, the bunch of young people in front of her in their prime, in less than ten years, will become pot-bellied and incompetent children.

At that time, they would only talk about the old man's military exploits back then, but they did not know how to restrain their descendants, so that their children and grandchildren misbehaved and were mostly forbidden by the law, and finally gave people a handle and embarked on the road of losing their lives.

Seeing that the queen was silent, as if she was wandering out of the world, Xiao He broke the silence and spoke to everyone.

"Your fathers have all made great contributions to the imperial court, and Your Majesty is deeply grateful.

Now calling you as Lang officials is a favor, a closeness, and an opportunity.

You must behave in your own way, remember to quit arrogance and fulfill your duties. ”

Lu Pheasant came back to his senses, his eyes were blazing, he took his words, and said loudly,

"Soon, the virtuous talents sent by the counties will also be with you.

Compared with them, are you willing to be a gentleman for the rest of your life, being pointed at by others, relying on the shadow of the door and relying on relationships, and have no real ability of your own? ”

"We don't want to!

Although I am young, I also have great ambitions. ”

The teenagers said in unison, their faces full of childishness that they would not admit defeat.

"Oh?

Tell me, what are your ambitions? ”

Hearing their answers, which had obviously been rehearsed in advance, Xiao He glanced at the empress and asked with a curious smile.

"We are willing to ride 100,000 horses, gallop through the desert, drive Rong Di, make meritorious contributions, and pacify the four seas!"

Everyone laughed, and Lu Pheasant took Liu Ying's hand, leaned over and said to him,

"See, among this group of people, there will be pillars of our country in the future."

Well, since God has been gracious enough to give me a chance to be born again, then I will give you another chance.

In this life, take out your skills, make good contributions, and don't have such a ending.
