Big Han Weiyang

After my wedding, the construction of my mausoleum began to be put on the agenda.

This has always been the case in the Han Dynasty. After the emperor ascended the throne, he began to build the mausoleum.Build as long as you are in power.Therefore, the tombs of the emperors who died early were relatively simple, and the longer they reigned, the more luxurious the tombs were.

Soon, the Xiongnu proposed to make peace with the great Han.Most of the courtiers uphold the attitude of approval.After being the emperor for more than a year, apart from anger and shame, I have a better understanding of the marriage.

The Xiongnu are nomadic people and live in no fixed place.The Han Dynasty is mainly based on farming, with a large country and a wide territory. It can neither move nor defend, and it is difficult to cover everything.

The Huns plundered by killing people, taking money and women.Marriage is the initiative of the big man to present money and women.Although the latter had an embarrassing face, the ending was the same.

Marriage can also make the Han people in the border counties suffer less.

Since the big man can't fight against the Xiongnu now, I agreed to make a marriage.

Of course, I am not like some ministers who wishful thinking that the marriage between a big man and the Huns is an in-law relationship. In the future, the Huns will feel guilty about this and restrain themselves.

The strong look to strength, the weak to morality.

The first battle between the Han and the Hungarians is inevitable.

Fighting against the Xiongnu with the strength of the big Han alone is not enough.Long distance and close attack is the most common and effective method.

The Huns were originally a nation that liked wanton aggression.Most of the surrounding countries have grievances with him, and they dare not speak out.

Several ministers who were in charge of the war discussed with me, thinking that we should secretly tie up with the Yuezhi and other countries, and unite with them to fight against the Xiongnu.I have been looking for a candidate to go to the Western Regions.When I saw Zhang Qian from Jiaodong, I thought it was him.

Liu Che once colluded with the Huns to create the Siege of Yanmen.It's not that I don't doubt his intentions in recommending talents to me.If I send someone to the Yuezhi, and that person pretends to persuade the Yuezhi, but in fact makes the Yuezhi and other countries secretly attack the Han and the Xiongnu, the consequences will be serious.

However, based on my meager memory of history and my investigation of Zhang Qian's life experience, I made up my mind and dispatched the Southern Army, which had been trained for two years after enlistment, to escort Zhang Qian there.

In July, in order to reduce Empress Dowager Dou's dissatisfaction with my respect for Confucianism and restraint of scholars, I followed Taifu's suggestion and set up a new Confucius Hall in Chang'an.From all over the Han Dynasty, famous scholars and hermits from hundreds of schools came one after another.

I let them spend 20 years discussing the future direction of a Han national policy.But progress needs to be made every month.

Unexpectedly, this unintentional move made the academic atmosphere in Chang'an City thicker.Almost every once in a while, new ideas come out.

However, the farming school and other schools, which were not eye-catching before, suddenly shined brilliantly.

The most useful in actual combat is Mohism.Many new weapons will come into play in the war against the Huns.

I practiced a set of theories of Dong Zhongshu, and the ministers gradually got used to observing the etiquette of courtiers.In the past two years, the power in the court and China has swayed between me and Queen Mother Dou, and a delicate balance has always been maintained.

The fact that Gillian was not pregnant until the time passed became more and more important in people's hearts.

If an emperor has no descendants, how can the country continue?

The root of the matter is Gillian's infertility, not my problem.Gillian and I know each other well.But Gillian will not admit this.

These years, Gillian relied on Empress Dowager Dou's favor and did not allow me to stay overnight with other concubines.Even if they are lucky enough, they will send palace guards afterwards to eliminate the possibility of their pregnancy.

At the same time, Liu Rong is a thorn in her side.Han Shuo was vaguely given the name of a sycophant.

Empress Dowager Dou is getting old eventually, I put up with Gillian's willfulness and suppressed the court's comments, thinking that this balance of good and bad, neither far nor near, would last until the death of Queen Mother Dou.

In the third year of Kaiyuan, Zhao Wan, who was born in Confucianism, led a group of Confucian scholars, and jointly signed a memorial requesting Changle Palace to return power to the emperor.

It's easy to influence a person.Incorporate certain opinions in the conversation, and repeat them several times, and the other party will unknowingly accept this viewpoint, and gradually think that this is his original idea.

This idea gradually deepened over time.And through the other party's continuous strengthening of hints, it began to affect the fundamentals of thinking.

In the past two years, Zhao Wan has gradually gained a firm foothold in Chang'an and raised many followers.Some of the disciples have not simple origins.

In just one month, Zhao Wan, who told me to be patient at the beginning, defined herself as a martyr who disregarded personal life and death for the sake of the country's righteousness.

I got the memorial and presented it to Empress Dowager Dou.I wonder where the courtiers are now, and whether Queen Dowager Dou is willing to let go.If the results are not good, I plan to put this memorial down gently, as if it never happened.

However, under the impetus of premeditation, the small memorial ignited the anger of Queen Mother Dou.

She recalled the old events of Emperor Wen, new and old hatred broke out at the same time, Zhao Wan and others were executed, and all ministers related to Zhao Wan were imprisoned.The New Deal was forced to be suspended.The imperial court became the one-way house of Queen Dowager Dou.

In the past three years, it has been patience, retreat, and balance.

The Xiongnu invaded the border, natural disasters continued in the country, the vassal king was ready to move, the courtiers relied on the old to sell the old because I was young, attacked each other, and secretly made profits.A series of nasty things made me feel bad all the time.

As a human being, the higher the position I stand, the heavier my self-esteem. Every compromise I make is like a slap in the face.As emperor, I'm just a symbol.I should give up all personal likes and dislikes and make the best choice for the big man, not to mention the so-called self-esteem.

These two thoughts have been swaying in my mind.

Now, I simply quit.

Leading a group of attendants, galloping on horses in Shanglinyuan, shuttled through the hills and boulders, under the shade of trees above the head and the blue sky, and finally regained some youthful spirit.

There is a grand master in the court, Han said, Tian Fu, Dou Ying, Han Anguo, Ji An and others maintain the situation for me.

If I hadn't had to go to the morning court every five days, on a whim, I wished I could take a group of Habayashi army youths on a tour of the big man.

Empress Dowager Dou was even more dissatisfied with me. If Liu Shun and Gillian hadn't persuaded her, she would probably have considered abolishing the establishment of a new monarch.

That evening, when I got on my horse and was about to go out, the Tai Tuo stopped in front and said coldly: "The emperor is going out of the palace again?"

I waved my hand to make a group of young servants around me stop: "With the Empress Dowager here, why should I stay in the palace to be hated by others."

The Taifu said: "According to the report from the prime minister of Jiaodong Kingdom, after the king of Jiaodong got the military power, he no longer sensuality, nor did he practice alchemy to seek immortality. Now the people of Jiaodong Kingdom are rich, and the soldiers are strong and strong. The emperor has the leisure to leave the palace, so it is better to care about this. "

I wrote in a low mood, got off the horse, handed the whip to Huo Qubing, went to the Grand Tutor and said helplessly: "Teacher, you also know that all the ministers passed me to see the face of the Empress Dowager, what's the point of me going back? "

The Taifu took a step back and bowed, "Your Majesty, I'm here to tell you that the time has come to return to the palace, and Mrs. Wei is pregnant."

"Really?" Wei Qing and I looked at each other, both were happy, "I'm going to pick her up right now."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." The servants all said with a smile.

Autumn went to spring, and in the fourth year of Kaiyuan, I finally had my first son, named Jia.

I haven't made any drastic reforms recently, and Zhuzi Pavilion has also produced some new results.The conflict between Queen Mother Dou and me has eased a lot, and she is also very happy to hear that I have an heir.

In autumn, her body gradually failed, and she returned most of her rights to me.

I am taking over the power of the big man myself, and my inner uneasiness has calmed down, and some complicated emotions are hard to let go.

The Taifu told me about Jiaodong, but I already knew about it.

Over the years, my attention to Jiaodong has never stopped.

I know that after Liu Che brought Han Yan back to China, he has been in a relationship with him as a monarch and minister.I know that Liu Che married the niece of a vassal king, took Li Yannian's younger sister as his wife, and had his eldest son Liu Shi before he left.

On the day I heard the news, I lost my temper for the first time in Chaoshang.

Ministers are puzzled.

I always thought that my nature was cold and cold, and no matter how deep my feelings were, I could easily leave if I let go of them.For the realization of ambition, you can be desperate.

But that night, I didn't go to any concubine's palace, I just stared at the candlestick all night.

Before my eyes, I kept replaying the scene of Liu Che buried his head in his knees helplessly when I looked back under the shadow of the tulle on the day of my wedding.

Only then did I realize that the back view that I thought I would easily forget would never be forgotten in my lifetime.
