[comprehensive] mother instrument world
Chapter 96: Chen Ajiao
Liu Che passed away. He didn't have the posthumous title of Emperor Wu this time. The main reason is that his reign was too short, and he didn't really have a long time in power. At this time, the posthumous law is still relatively strict. Unlike later generations, Song Qinzong didn't do it for long. The emperor can also get a posthumous title of Qin.
Death is the most important thing, even if Liu Che is extravagant sometimes, there are still some people who doubt the relationship between Liu Che and Liu Ling, but in other respects, Liu Che has not made any mistakes, and Shu Yun does not want to turn around. After the conclusion of the coffin, she followed Liu Che to use a worse posthumous title. Therefore, she argued hard and finally gave Liu Che the word "respect". Not bad.
Sure enough, before Liu Che sent the coffin to Maoling, the Queen Mother jumped out and said that as the late emperor's biological mother, she should be regent.
Over there, Shu Yun directly took out the first imperial edict. After seeing it, the Queen Mother couldn't believe that it was left by her husband. After all, at that time, she had a mother-in-law on her head, so she immediately It is determined that this is a coercion.Such things as coercive edicts are very common in the Han Dynasty, but anything that is not registered in Shiqu Pavilion is a coercive edict.Even sometimes, the emperor himself is a master at playing this trick.
In fact, there were quite a few ministers in the Han Dynasty who made false edicts. If what they did was in line with the emperor's wishes, then the emperor would definitely punish him with three glasses of wine, and then he would acquiesce in this matter. The formalities, the formalities for this matter have been completed.But what the emperor of the Liu family is best at is that he promises you one thing with his mouth, and even gives you an edict, but no one knows except you. When you really do things according to this edict, then, You are screwed!How did Bo Zhao die? One of the crimes was coercion.
In another timeline, Dou Ying also died because of this nonsense. In order to make Dou Ying guilty of coercion, Tian Fu directly burned half of the Shiqu Pavilion with fire, and now there is no proof!
The Empress Dowager recognized that this imperial edict was a coercive edict, and immediately felt that she was holding Shu Yun's handle. If the late emperor's bones were not cold, Shu Yun, the late emperor's widow, would make a coquettish edict to restrict the late emperor's biological mother. This daughter-in-law is kicked out!
Even, the queen mother thought, the prince who is about to ascend the throne is not young, and he must not be familiar with it, so let's just let the second son take the throne.
It's a pity that the Queen Mother's wishful thinking soon came to nothing. She just called out the queen's edict, but Shu Yun said indifferently: "Since the queen mother thinks it is an edict, then go to Shiqu Pavilion to retrieve the file." !"
Seeing that Shu Yun's words were so firm, the Queen Mother became a little uncertain, but she still firmly believed that there was no such edict at all, so she just sat there and waited with peace of mind.
As a result, it didn't take long before an imperial edict was sent over. Not only the scroll in Shu Yun's hand represented the imperial edict of Emperor Xiaojing, but also the imperial edict of the former Empress Dowager Dou. It was very clear in the edict that it was Wang Shide Thin, not enough to support the country.
Virtue is a very important thing. The Queen Mother herself did not stand upright. When she heard that there was going to be a beauty pageant in the uterus, she immediately kicked her ex-husband and left her with her ex-husband. After paying the money, she went to the audition.
In the homes of ordinary people, this kind of behavior would still be poked at the spine. For the royal family, no matter what is inside, the outside must show corresponding moral standards.If you don't even love your own husband or children, how can the common people believe that you will love this world?
As for Emperor Xiaojing, he never thought that this woman who was very obedient in front of him would have such a strong desire for power. Although he knew that Wang was not a virgin when he entered the palace, he was too lazy to care about the specifics. At most, I thought the Wang family was just a new widow!The old Liu family didn't care about this, like the Empress Dowager Bo back then, who was actually someone else's concubine.So later when Emperor Xiaowen ascended the throne, some people questioned Emperor Xiaowen's life experience!
However, Liu Che was different. Back then, Han Yan offended the Queen Mother. In order to make amends to the Queen Mother, he finally found out what happened to the Queen Mother. He didn't dare to be professional, so he had to tell Liu Che first.
As for Liu Che, he even went to see his half-sister in person. To be honest, that one looked a little bad. The Jin family was not a wealthy family, after all, the Queen Mother was not very well-born.After the Wang family entered the palace, the Wang family moved away. In order to prevent the Jin family from clinging to them, they even deliberately suppressed the former in-laws.
As for the Jin family, Jin Wangsun has lost a daughter-in-law, and his family is not considered rich. It is not easy to marry again. Marrying a daughter-in-law is a relatively expensive matter. Other families don't know that the former daughter-in-law of the Jin family Where did her husband go, but after thinking about it, she knew that she must have climbed some high branch.It can make the daughter-in-law who has already given birth run away. It is inevitable that some people wonder if there is something wrong with Jin Wangsun, such as domestic violence, drinking, not being able to make money and so on.
But other people don't know what's going on, how can Jin Wangsun not know, he is not a fool.He is just an ordinary citizen, and he still had some expectations in his heart, but the people here in Chang'an are also well-informed. Even if the Wang family moved away, after Emperor Xiaojing ascended the throne, there were two wives in the palace, who were still sisters. It can still be heard.
After that, Jin Wangsun fell into a slump, and passed away due to illness not long after.After Jin Wangsun died, as for Jin Su, he had to live with the elders in the clan, and when he reached the age to marry, he just found someone to marry, but his husband died not long after, and he had no children, and he has been a widow since then. It was a rough day.
After Liu Che found out the situation, on the one hand, he felt ashamed. After all, this seemingly ignorant and weak woman had half the same blood as himself. Take care of Jin Su, the same mother and sister.But in his heart, he lacked a bit of trust in the Queen Mother. With such a cold hearted Queen Mother, how much affection could she have for his son?That's why Liu Che decisively concocted the edict.
After all, the Queen Mother has never been an emperor, or she has never really been the master of the house. For the emperor, as long as he is willing, things like edicts can become fake, and fake ones can also become real.In particular, for a long time before, the material of such things as edicts was either bamboo slips or silk scripts, which were very easy to forge.Among other things, there are still many blank bamboo slips in Shiqu Pavilion. There are many old bamboo slips that Xiao He failed to sort out in the past. It is simply an impossible task to clean them up.Therefore, if you want to add or delete a sum in the files of the year, it really couldn't be easier. The easiest way is to extract all the records of the year.
The Queen Mother is very interested in power, but she has never been very interested in the things in Shiqu Pavilion, which also makes her completely unaware of the management loopholes in Shiqu Pavilion. Besides, the emperor does things like the owner of the house stealing his own money with the key , it couldn't be easier!
Mrs. Wang was caught off guard by her own ignorance. Since Emperor Xiaojing and Empress Xiaowen felt that she was not virtuous, allowing her to retain the position of empress dowager was already taking advantage of her being the birth mother of Emperor Xiaojing. If you still want to point fingers at the government, don't even think about it.
Now the new force at the top of the court simply took advantage of Tian Fu's retreat, so he was able to stand out. Now, how can he let himself have one more greedy and gesticulating thing on his head? Therefore, several ministers see the empress Dowager Wang's face is not good , but directly took a step forward, and said solemnly: "Please also ask the Queen Mother to move to Xiude Palace!"
The Queen Mother, the main hall of Changle Palace, cannot live here. Her husband and mother-in-law have judged her to be of poor virtue, and she is worried about her own son, that is, the first emperor before her death. She left this big killer to her own queen. , naturally can't continue to live in the main hall of Changle Palace, but can only live in Xiude Hall to improve one's virtue!And the main hall of Changle Palace will become the dormitory of the empress Shu Yun. Before Liu Yan takes power, the political center of the Han Dynasty will also be moved to Changle Palace instead of Weiyang Palace!
The general situation is over, the Queen Mother looked at Shu Yun's quiet eyes, and finally did not say anything harsh. At this time, unless Tian Fu is still the prime minister, otherwise, she will completely lose this game!Instead of wasting your energy to say something now, it's better to go back and think of other ways.
After sending off the Queen Mother, the next step is to get down to business!It took more than ten days for Liu Yan, the crown prince, to succeed to the throne after Liu Che was assassinated. Therefore, Liu Yan had already made psychological preparations.
It's just that when the matter came to an end, Liu Yan became a little panicked again.As a son, he usually has an attitude of admiration and reverence for his father, but Liu Yan can't help but have a mother who is more ruthless and won't hide anything in good faith.Shu Yun directly told Liu Yan the ins and outs of the matter, and even sarcastically said that Liu Che probably died under the peony flower, and he was also a ghost!
Liu Yan felt a little uncomfortable about his biological mother's ridicule, but it was obvious that the tall figure of Liu Che in his mind almost didn't collapse on the spot.But when he became the emperor himself, he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, could he really do well?
Liu Yan felt a little uneasy, but for Shu Yun, the challenge had just begun.For a long time, she had been working behind the scenes, but now that she was about to step up to the front stage, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
But at this time, it is better to be still than to move. If she makes a big move now, she may cause a backlash soon. Therefore, Shu Yun just brought Liu Yan by his side, and first listened to the prime minister, doctor Yushi, and other officials. Liehou first talked about the affairs of the court.
At the beginning, these ministers were actually a little worried about Shu Yun. Although the newly appointed Empress Dowager Chen had some virtuous reputations before, the Chen family seemed to have no talent in this area at all. The two don't seem to have any political talents, so they are a little uncertain about the Queen Mother Chen's ruling.
Fortunately, now Empress Chen can calm down and understand the operation of the court first, instead of wanting to make some big news from the beginning, which reassures all the ministers in the court.
As for Shu Yun, he has already discovered many problems in the Han Dynasty.Although in a sense, the Han Dynasty was a typical country with a centralized system of power, in fact, what the imperial court could really manage was the three-acre land in Guanzhong, and there were other places in Guandong, because in this era, Transportation and information transmission are very inconvenient. The so-called sky is high and the emperor is far away. Even if there is any problem, the court does not know about it, and it is not easy to manage it.
In comparison, it is easier for those princes and kings.
It just so happened that Huainan Kingdom did something like this this time, Shu Yun was going to burn the first of the three fires after he came to power, directly on those princes.
Therefore, after learning about the current operating mechanism of the imperial court, Shu Yun said directly: "The bones of the first emperor are not cold, so I don't know what happened to the sinner Liu An?" His title has been cut, now Shu Yun is not called Uncle Wang anymore, he is just called a sinner.
Prime Minister Han Anguo immediately took a step forward and said: "The sinner Liu An is really ambitious. He listened to the imperial edict and didn't think about his own faults. He bound his hands and pleaded guilty naked. However, he brazenly beheaded all the ministers of Huainan Kingdom and directly launched an army to plot rebellion. Now the army has come out of Shouchun!"
Shu Yun just frowned on this side, but Han Anguo gasped heavily on the other side, and continued: "The sinner Liu An perverted, and everyone in the world is outraged. Therefore, Liu An's army was blocked by soldiers from nearby counties within fifty miles. There was a mutiny, and a righteous man burned the grain and grass in Liu An's army, and assassinated the lieutenant general. Liu An's army was defeated, and Liu An swallowed the gold and committed suicide! His son Liu Qian wanted to escape, but he was beheaded by Liu An's concubine Liu Jian, and Liu Jian committed suicide. die!"
Han Anguo explained the matter plainly in a few sentences. In his opinion, Liu An was looking for death. Since Wu Chu and other Seven Kingdoms rebelled, the court has never stopped monitoring those princes and kings.Liu An was able to release dead men in Chang'an, so naturally there were also dead men sent by the imperial court around Liu An.
Liu An thought that he had killed all the officials sent by the court who were not in the same heart as him. Bian Guoxiang coaxed the tiger talisman in his hand, and then put him under house arrest.As a result, those ministers of the country, Wang Fu, etc., were all on the surface, and what really mattered was the staff behind the scenes. They were just low-level officials in Huainan Kingdom, and they even worked in the Huainan Palace.
These people are usually inconspicuous, but when they really move, they can cause great damage.
It's like a fire in the military rations, but it's because the person in charge secretly poured a few barrels of oil into the granary. The so-called grain and grass, of course, have grain and hay specially used to feed cattle and horses, all of which are flammable. Throw a torch in, and the army rations will naturally be finished.
And those so-called righteous men who caused chaos in the army are naturally mostly these people. When the mutiny happened, some smart people immediately wanted to make things right, and quickly change their positions, so as not to turn around and follow their own bad luck.Therefore, there are quite a few people who follow the trend.
Liu An's so-called 20 army, which he managed to raise with great difficulty, completely collapsed overnight.Liu An was already old, and he almost lost his temper at that time. Seeing that he was powerless, he didn't want to be humiliated by the emperor of Chang'an like his own father back then, so he committed suicide directly.
As for the matter of the two brothers Liu Qian and Liu Jian, it was still Liu An's fault.In Liu An's case, the son born by the concubine is a treasure, and the son born by the concubine is grass. Not only did he ignore it, but he also allowed the son and the queen to bully him.
Therefore, he saw in the dark that Liu Qian wanted to flee after he caught a few of his confidants, so he took the bow and arrow in his hand and shot at them.Don't think that Liu Jian likes Liu An, but he is quite brave. When it comes to archery, although it is not perfect, it is almost the same. Therefore, after shooting a pot of arrows, all Liu Qian's followers died. As for Liu Qian, he was shot directly in the leg by two arrows, and now he can't run even if he wants to.
Liu Jian happily ran over, picked up the long sword in his hand, and stabbed Liu Qian randomly, turning Liu Qian into a fishing net with holes everywhere. There is no reason, therefore, he simply killed himself with a sword, so as not to suffer the crime of living in the future.
In short, among the princes and kings, Huainan King, who had a relatively large and wealthy country, was completely finished. As for the brothers or nephews of Huainan King, they were quite obedient, and almost immediately wrote a letter to plead guilty, and then It means that with this kind of big rebellion, the bastard who has no king and father is at odds. The imperial court has just issued an edict, and they handed over the soldiers and horses in their hands almost immediately, and handed them over to the Ting Wei for restraint, and then What made them relieved was that Liu An was really vulnerable, but within a day of starting an army, he was finished.Several people breathed a sigh of relief, and were extremely grateful for their choice.
As for the imperial court, there will naturally be rewards for the princes and kings who can set things right. However, as Liu An's closest relatives, they are not far away from the feudal kingdom. If they really treat Huainan I don't know anything about it, and the fool didn't believe it, so in the end, the court still cut off a few princes and kings to seal the country, but generally it was only one or two, which is considered meaning!
The first emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. Naturally, most of the princes and kings had to follow him to Beijing. As for those who could not enter Beijing, it meant that these princes and kings were marginalized and could be respected and kept at a distance.
When these princes and kings entered Beijing one by one, most of them were a little apprehensive. After all, if Liu An did such a thing, the power of the princes and kings would definitely shrink again.Just like after the Wu-Chu Rebellion, Emperor Xiaojing used various means to deprive the vassal states of many powers.Among other things, the princes and kings in the past were qualified to appoint officials with two thousand stones, but now, don't even think about it.
Now that there is such a thing again, I am afraid that the imperial court must have a conclusion.
Those princes and kings who are near have arrived in Chang'an, and those who are far away are still on the way, and the court has already begun to ask how to treat these princes and kings!
In fact, for the central government, the princes and kings everywhere are a hidden danger. In other words, as bureaucrats, everyone prefers to centralize power. It's politically correct!
As for Han Anguo, although Liu Wu was promoted back then, he really didn't get much benefit from Liu Wu.Liu Wu is a person who prefers to be close to those literati who can recite poems and compose poems. He doesn't care about Han Anguo's ability to do things and know how to do things.In addition, no matter what song he sang on some hilltop, even if he was relegated to a certain vassal state to be a state minister in the future, it is naturally because the vassal king is not strong enough that he has room to display it.
Therefore, Han Anguo is very much in favor of reducing the feudal clan.
However, the question now is how to cut it, and to what extent, if it triggers the reaction of those princes and kings, what should we do?The new king was young, and the north was still facing the attack of the Huns. The imperial court could not mobilize too much power to suppress the country.Everyone remembers the lessons of the Qin Dynasty. When the rebels broke out everywhere, Qin II ordered the legions stationed on the Great Wall to return to the Central Plains to quell the rebellion. As a result, the Qin army abandoned the land of Hetao, but the Huns finally seized the opportunity. He grew up, and then defeated the Donghu people, and now he has become a confidant of the Han Dynasty.
Now if we try again, if the Huns are really allowed to enter the pass, everyone will really die and have no face to meet the emperors and ancestors of the past.
Han Anguo raised this question at the court meeting, and talked about the embarrassment. At first, he thought that the queen mother had no idea, and then he heard Shu Yun say: "Since that's the case, how about tweeting?"
Han Anguo was taken aback, and asked: "Dare to ask the queen mother, how to extend favor?"
Shu Yun said directly: "Just like what happened between King Li of Huainan and King Xiao Xiao of Liang back then, when the king passed away, all the princes can be promoted as kings or princes!"
Shu Yun was just making a head start, and the group of ministers below couldn't help but bristle immediately. This is clearly boiling frogs in warm water, and the soldiers are bloodless!For those princes and kings, unless there is a real problem, otherwise, the sons are not embarrassed to come out to say hello.Like Zhongshan King Liu Sheng, the illegitimate ones born in marriage have more than 100 sons alone. It can be said that after his death, his sons, even if they are the eldest sons, can only be the poorest princes and kings. Yes, I'm afraid that the food town is not enough. It is estimated that by then, the poorest one may not be as good as the Marquis of Guannei.
But this matter is very feasible. Whoever has few concubines and beloved young sons is really willing to let the eldest son eat everything after his death. End up like a commoner?The vast majority of people would rather be short-sighted when faced with this situation. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with me when I am alive. After I die, I don’t care about the flood!What's more, if the country is a little bigger, can't you still seal a few princes and kings, and the rest, can you also get a prince to do it?As for the grandchildren?Hehe, it's not bad if I can take care of my son, so why bother with my grandson!
Experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move.Shu Yun just said this idea, and immediately the ministers in the court didn't dare to think that Shu Yun was just an ordinary woman, this man's wrist is very mature!Some people even thought disrespectfully, if the first emperor had such a smooth means, he probably wouldn't have died young.
In any case, after discussing with everyone at the court meeting, everyone felt that the favor order is very feasible. Next, it has to be passed by the clan, and the court can't talk to itself, so let's finalize the matter!
Therefore, after most of the princes and kings arrived in Chang'an, Shu Yun, in the name of the Queen Mother, invited these princes and kings to discuss matters in Changle Palace.
According to the usual practice, everyone first attacked the rebellious Liu An, and then, someone set their eyes on the Huainan country!It is a good place, with a good climate, rich products, and relatively well-developed commerce. Liu An can make "Huainanzi", refine elixir, and raise a large army. Wealthy, what a lot of money!Therefore, several feudal states are relatively remote, and the eyes of the princes and kings who have relatively low annual income are turning green.There are a few of them here, they are Liu Che's brothers.
Compared with Emperor Xiaowen, it is naturally impossible for Emperor Xiaojing's dozen or so sons to confer good places.Liehou may be sealed in Guanzhong, but the fiefs of these princes and kings cannot stay in Guanzhong. In this case, it is very different whether it is Qilu, the north, the southeast or the southwest.
Qilu is a good place, where the commerce is developed, and the merchants can receive a large amount of money every year just for their tribute. However, if they are unfortunately sealed up in the North or some places in the South, it will be more painful.On the one hand, there is the climate problem. It is hot and humid in summer and cold and humid in winter. It is difficult to adapt, especially in the Yangtze River Basin in the south. Nowadays, it has been plagued by various mosquitoes and parasites. These are relatively deadly things.A little further south is the territory of those small countries in the southwest, and those people are not cheap.
However, Shu Yun only skillfully practiced Tai Chi for the following princes and kings' flattery and vague inquiries, which made the princes and kings present who were familiar with Shu Yun when he was young suddenly feel a little bit I wonder, isn't that Cousin Gillian (cousin) in the past such a wealthy person, or is it that Changle Palace is so capable of tempering people, directly turning a love brain into a strong woman?
After chatting for a while, Shu Yun finally got to the point and asked, "You are all the lords of a country. I wonder who will entrust the ancestral temple after a hundred years?"
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then said honestly that the court has its own rules, and the crown prince will naturally inherit them.
Shu Yun sighed: "It's so unfair to treat other princes like this!" Shu Yun talked about the matter of Liu Qian and Liu Jian, and said that although such a thing was just an example, the families of various princes, The eldest son Fengzongmiao inherits the throne. As for the other princes, when his father is alive, he can still live in rich clothes and fine food. If his father dies, it’s okay if he can get a little more family property. No!When Emperor Hui succeeded to the throne, even though Gao Zu named his beloved son King Zhao, and Emperor Hui lived with King Zhao again, what happened in the end?When Emperor Hui changed his clothes, Liu Ruyi was sent to see his father with a glass of poisoned wine.
So, what if after a hundred years, the crown prince hated himself for favoring his younger son and attacked him directly, what should he do?Thinking about it this way, some princes and kings who were not so fair in their usual actions suddenly became a little restless.
Then, someone started to be a fan, attended directly, and asked, "I don't know why the queen mother taught me?"
Shu Yun said with a smile: "Since they are all descendants of the Liu family, why don't you show kindness to all the sons and make them all kings?"
This can be said to be a poor idea, but a group of princes and kings have nothing to say for a while. It sounds like a good idea, but it is clearly a sugar-coated poison. If you swallow it, then After three generations of feuding the country, it was almost fragmented.Don't expect that because of this, these princes and kings will be able to control their belts and not have children. There is no family planning these days, and everyone pays attention to having more children and more blessings.But now, having many children is not considered a blessing, it's not that they can't support them, it's that they can't afford to share the family property in the future!
Although it is considered a feudal patriarchal system these days, even patriarchs have to consider the opinions of family members.It is obvious that, with the tweet, except for the dissatisfaction of the eldest son, everyone else will be happy with each other.Even if it is the queen, there will be no objection, because under normal circumstances, the queen cannot have only one son, and she can't just sit and watch the eldest son inherit the feudal state, and the other sons can only inherit a little private money!
Parents generally have a kind of egalitarian thinking. Whichever son does better, he hopes that he will support the child who is not doing well.But now, as soon as the Tweeting Order comes out, everyone seems to be able to get what they want. As for what will become of their own descendants, who cares?I wish I had a good time myself!
In the end, these princes and kings had no choice but to pinch their noses to Shu Yun with complicated emotions, and complimented Liu Yan who put on a serious look, saying that it was the Queen Mother and His Majesty who sympathized with us, and I was so grateful.
No one dared to say anything extra, if they really wanted to object, they would be in trouble after returning home!
The Tweeting Decree has been passed by many princes and kings, and it is only waiting for it to be officially released at the time of the great court meeting, and then passed on to the world.
There will no longer be any problems with the princes and kings. The only thing that bothers Shu Yun is that those ministers have already clamored for Liu Xun to be the king and then go to seal the country!Just kidding, Liu Xun is only so old now, if he is really sent to Fengguo, who knows if he can grow up smoothly, so, he can be named king, but if he goes to Fengguo, forget it.However, Shu Yun didn't want his youngest son to stay in the Central Plains to be a vassal king who was destined to be constantly stripped of his authority. You must know that many places nowadays are lands without owners!
Of course, these words cannot be said now. After all, the biggest enemy of the big man is actually the Huns. Compared with the Huns, other things have to stand aside.
Now the situation on the border has been very tense, and the news on the Huns side is also very well-informed. An emperor died on the Han side, and the Huns thought it was an opportunity. Unfortunately, there was no reason for the national mourning on the Northland side. But what changes have occurred, on the contrary, the supply of food and grass is still being sent into the Northland continuously.
These days, when the emperor was buried, there were a lot of funeral objects, mainly gold, jade, and other kinds of artifacts. It can be said that after Liu Che was buried, half of the national treasury was buried with him.Fortunately, when the emperor was buried, he would usually not be buried with five baht coins, and the current common currency is still the five baht coins that Liu Che made before. Gold and the like are only circulated at the upper level and will not affect the military pay.
The Shaofu is not short of money, food, and ordnance. It can be said that the supply of the army is not a problem. The most important thing is that the army in the north has long had a deep hatred with the Huns, and it is impossible for the Huns to Cross the border again.As for Mayi, it was originally outside the Great Wall, so it became like a meat grinder there. The battle against Mayi has never stopped. Shaofu only sent craftsmen to repair crossbows and rhubarb crossbows There are already nearly a thousand people.
The Han Dynasty has a strong foundation, and it can still hold on now. In the past, they didn't count on the taxes from the North, but the Xiongnu couldn't hold on.
The economies of nomadic peoples are much weaker than those of farming peoples.The Huns can't support themselves just by herding horses and sheep, because there are always various accidents on the grassland.
To put it bluntly, the rise of ethnic groups on the grasslands has something to do with the climate. Since the Warring States period, the overall climate in China has turned cold. Now it is the beginning of the Little Ice Age. There are snowstorms on the grasslands from time to time. There will be locust plagues, and every disaster will bring a big blow to the Huns.
If the Huns marched westward, the small countries in the Western Regions would be soft persimmons, and it would be easy to grab enough food, livestock, slaves, and other wealth to make the Huns live a better life.
But now fighting against the Han Dynasty, the Great Wall is already solid and clear. They can't grab anything at all, and the losses are still huge, especially when the Huns' army goes out, they have to bring enough cattle and sheep as military rations, and these cattle Sheep also need to eat grass, and the pasture outside the Great Wall will be eaten up in a short time.
Although people nowadays don't know what sustainable development is, their instincts still make them continue to do so, just like hunters who hunt will not catch pregnant females and cubs, and must pay attention to restraint when cutting in the forest.It is said that it is the virtue of the former king, but in fact this is the simple principle of sustainable development.
The same is true for the Huns. It is impossible for them to completely destroy the grassland unless it is absolutely necessary. For them, the degradation of the grassland is a more terrible disaster than snow disasters and fires. This means that they can no longer graze in these places, and even have to go around just walk.But now, it is obviously beyond their psychological bottom line.
Therefore, everyone on the Han side is actively fighting, and on the Xiongnu side, many nobles have already started shouting to go back!
Although the Huns also care about face, like the credentials they sent to the Han Dynasty are always an inch wider than those of the Han people, but they pay more attention to their interests. When they heard that there was a rebellion in the Han country, one day After calming down, suddenly, some nobles began to clamor more and more.
When the Huns go to war, they can’t wait to send out all their clans. Of course, a few tribes will be left behind to prevent other nomads, such as Dingling people, Xiaoyuezhi people, Xianbei people, Wuhuan people and so on. Come out and sneak out to occupy their pastures and grow.
Now, in order to retaliate against the Han people for breaking the peace treaty, the Huns have lost many lives on the Great Wall. Although many of them were slaves, the various tribes of the Huns were also damaged.
Now I heard that the Han people still maintain a considerable force in the country. If they are also deployed to press on the border in the future, the Huns will not know how much damage they will suffer!
As for the military minister, he also felt withdrawn at this moment.The Huns' requirement for Shan Yu was to be able to lead them from one victory to another.Back then, Maodun Shanyu’s greatest contribution was defeating the Donghu people and dominating the grasslands. However, the old Shang Shanyu turned his attention to the West and maintained the Huns’ long-standing advantage through plundering the Western Regions. status.
In fact, the military minister Shan Yu was not loved by the old Shang Shanyu at first, but, the Huns often married close relatives, which also led to the old Shang Shanyu's dozens of children, but few of them survived. A little bit is not the opponent of the military minister Shanyu at all. Yi Zhixie was quite liked by the old Shanyu back then, but he was a little younger after all. There were enough people inside, and the military minister Shan Yu had already found an excuse to kill Yi Zhixie.
The most important thing is that the military minister also has no children, and now only one son, Yu Dan, survives, and it is not known whether he will grow up smoothly. Therefore, in case Yu Dan fails to survive, Yi Zhixie is the undoubted heir.Under such circumstances, the Xiongnu nobles who also paid attention to blood could not let Yi Zhixie be killed by military officials anyway.
As for the military minister, it was difficult to ride a tiger at the moment, but he soon had the idea of bringing disaster to the east, and he simply said directly, didn't the Right Wise King Yi Zhixie always control Munan?Therefore, Yi Zhixie stayed in Munan and continued to teach the Han people, but what about the military officials?
Death is the most important thing, even if Liu Che is extravagant sometimes, there are still some people who doubt the relationship between Liu Che and Liu Ling, but in other respects, Liu Che has not made any mistakes, and Shu Yun does not want to turn around. After the conclusion of the coffin, she followed Liu Che to use a worse posthumous title. Therefore, she argued hard and finally gave Liu Che the word "respect". Not bad.
Sure enough, before Liu Che sent the coffin to Maoling, the Queen Mother jumped out and said that as the late emperor's biological mother, she should be regent.
Over there, Shu Yun directly took out the first imperial edict. After seeing it, the Queen Mother couldn't believe that it was left by her husband. After all, at that time, she had a mother-in-law on her head, so she immediately It is determined that this is a coercion.Such things as coercive edicts are very common in the Han Dynasty, but anything that is not registered in Shiqu Pavilion is a coercive edict.Even sometimes, the emperor himself is a master at playing this trick.
In fact, there were quite a few ministers in the Han Dynasty who made false edicts. If what they did was in line with the emperor's wishes, then the emperor would definitely punish him with three glasses of wine, and then he would acquiesce in this matter. The formalities, the formalities for this matter have been completed.But what the emperor of the Liu family is best at is that he promises you one thing with his mouth, and even gives you an edict, but no one knows except you. When you really do things according to this edict, then, You are screwed!How did Bo Zhao die? One of the crimes was coercion.
In another timeline, Dou Ying also died because of this nonsense. In order to make Dou Ying guilty of coercion, Tian Fu directly burned half of the Shiqu Pavilion with fire, and now there is no proof!
The Empress Dowager recognized that this imperial edict was a coercive edict, and immediately felt that she was holding Shu Yun's handle. If the late emperor's bones were not cold, Shu Yun, the late emperor's widow, would make a coquettish edict to restrict the late emperor's biological mother. This daughter-in-law is kicked out!
Even, the queen mother thought, the prince who is about to ascend the throne is not young, and he must not be familiar with it, so let's just let the second son take the throne.
It's a pity that the Queen Mother's wishful thinking soon came to nothing. She just called out the queen's edict, but Shu Yun said indifferently: "Since the queen mother thinks it is an edict, then go to Shiqu Pavilion to retrieve the file." !"
Seeing that Shu Yun's words were so firm, the Queen Mother became a little uncertain, but she still firmly believed that there was no such edict at all, so she just sat there and waited with peace of mind.
As a result, it didn't take long before an imperial edict was sent over. Not only the scroll in Shu Yun's hand represented the imperial edict of Emperor Xiaojing, but also the imperial edict of the former Empress Dowager Dou. It was very clear in the edict that it was Wang Shide Thin, not enough to support the country.
Virtue is a very important thing. The Queen Mother herself did not stand upright. When she heard that there was going to be a beauty pageant in the uterus, she immediately kicked her ex-husband and left her with her ex-husband. After paying the money, she went to the audition.
In the homes of ordinary people, this kind of behavior would still be poked at the spine. For the royal family, no matter what is inside, the outside must show corresponding moral standards.If you don't even love your own husband or children, how can the common people believe that you will love this world?
As for Emperor Xiaojing, he never thought that this woman who was very obedient in front of him would have such a strong desire for power. Although he knew that Wang was not a virgin when he entered the palace, he was too lazy to care about the specifics. At most, I thought the Wang family was just a new widow!The old Liu family didn't care about this, like the Empress Dowager Bo back then, who was actually someone else's concubine.So later when Emperor Xiaowen ascended the throne, some people questioned Emperor Xiaowen's life experience!
However, Liu Che was different. Back then, Han Yan offended the Queen Mother. In order to make amends to the Queen Mother, he finally found out what happened to the Queen Mother. He didn't dare to be professional, so he had to tell Liu Che first.
As for Liu Che, he even went to see his half-sister in person. To be honest, that one looked a little bad. The Jin family was not a wealthy family, after all, the Queen Mother was not very well-born.After the Wang family entered the palace, the Wang family moved away. In order to prevent the Jin family from clinging to them, they even deliberately suppressed the former in-laws.
As for the Jin family, Jin Wangsun has lost a daughter-in-law, and his family is not considered rich. It is not easy to marry again. Marrying a daughter-in-law is a relatively expensive matter. Other families don't know that the former daughter-in-law of the Jin family Where did her husband go, but after thinking about it, she knew that she must have climbed some high branch.It can make the daughter-in-law who has already given birth run away. It is inevitable that some people wonder if there is something wrong with Jin Wangsun, such as domestic violence, drinking, not being able to make money and so on.
But other people don't know what's going on, how can Jin Wangsun not know, he is not a fool.He is just an ordinary citizen, and he still had some expectations in his heart, but the people here in Chang'an are also well-informed. Even if the Wang family moved away, after Emperor Xiaojing ascended the throne, there were two wives in the palace, who were still sisters. It can still be heard.
After that, Jin Wangsun fell into a slump, and passed away due to illness not long after.After Jin Wangsun died, as for Jin Su, he had to live with the elders in the clan, and when he reached the age to marry, he just found someone to marry, but his husband died not long after, and he had no children, and he has been a widow since then. It was a rough day.
After Liu Che found out the situation, on the one hand, he felt ashamed. After all, this seemingly ignorant and weak woman had half the same blood as himself. Take care of Jin Su, the same mother and sister.But in his heart, he lacked a bit of trust in the Queen Mother. With such a cold hearted Queen Mother, how much affection could she have for his son?That's why Liu Che decisively concocted the edict.
After all, the Queen Mother has never been an emperor, or she has never really been the master of the house. For the emperor, as long as he is willing, things like edicts can become fake, and fake ones can also become real.In particular, for a long time before, the material of such things as edicts was either bamboo slips or silk scripts, which were very easy to forge.Among other things, there are still many blank bamboo slips in Shiqu Pavilion. There are many old bamboo slips that Xiao He failed to sort out in the past. It is simply an impossible task to clean them up.Therefore, if you want to add or delete a sum in the files of the year, it really couldn't be easier. The easiest way is to extract all the records of the year.
The Queen Mother is very interested in power, but she has never been very interested in the things in Shiqu Pavilion, which also makes her completely unaware of the management loopholes in Shiqu Pavilion. Besides, the emperor does things like the owner of the house stealing his own money with the key , it couldn't be easier!
Mrs. Wang was caught off guard by her own ignorance. Since Emperor Xiaojing and Empress Xiaowen felt that she was not virtuous, allowing her to retain the position of empress dowager was already taking advantage of her being the birth mother of Emperor Xiaojing. If you still want to point fingers at the government, don't even think about it.
Now the new force at the top of the court simply took advantage of Tian Fu's retreat, so he was able to stand out. Now, how can he let himself have one more greedy and gesticulating thing on his head? Therefore, several ministers see the empress Dowager Wang's face is not good , but directly took a step forward, and said solemnly: "Please also ask the Queen Mother to move to Xiude Palace!"
The Queen Mother, the main hall of Changle Palace, cannot live here. Her husband and mother-in-law have judged her to be of poor virtue, and she is worried about her own son, that is, the first emperor before her death. She left this big killer to her own queen. , naturally can't continue to live in the main hall of Changle Palace, but can only live in Xiude Hall to improve one's virtue!And the main hall of Changle Palace will become the dormitory of the empress Shu Yun. Before Liu Yan takes power, the political center of the Han Dynasty will also be moved to Changle Palace instead of Weiyang Palace!
The general situation is over, the Queen Mother looked at Shu Yun's quiet eyes, and finally did not say anything harsh. At this time, unless Tian Fu is still the prime minister, otherwise, she will completely lose this game!Instead of wasting your energy to say something now, it's better to go back and think of other ways.
After sending off the Queen Mother, the next step is to get down to business!It took more than ten days for Liu Yan, the crown prince, to succeed to the throne after Liu Che was assassinated. Therefore, Liu Yan had already made psychological preparations.
It's just that when the matter came to an end, Liu Yan became a little panicked again.As a son, he usually has an attitude of admiration and reverence for his father, but Liu Yan can't help but have a mother who is more ruthless and won't hide anything in good faith.Shu Yun directly told Liu Yan the ins and outs of the matter, and even sarcastically said that Liu Che probably died under the peony flower, and he was also a ghost!
Liu Yan felt a little uncomfortable about his biological mother's ridicule, but it was obvious that the tall figure of Liu Che in his mind almost didn't collapse on the spot.But when he became the emperor himself, he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, could he really do well?
Liu Yan felt a little uneasy, but for Shu Yun, the challenge had just begun.For a long time, she had been working behind the scenes, but now that she was about to step up to the front stage, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
But at this time, it is better to be still than to move. If she makes a big move now, she may cause a backlash soon. Therefore, Shu Yun just brought Liu Yan by his side, and first listened to the prime minister, doctor Yushi, and other officials. Liehou first talked about the affairs of the court.
At the beginning, these ministers were actually a little worried about Shu Yun. Although the newly appointed Empress Dowager Chen had some virtuous reputations before, the Chen family seemed to have no talent in this area at all. The two don't seem to have any political talents, so they are a little uncertain about the Queen Mother Chen's ruling.
Fortunately, now Empress Chen can calm down and understand the operation of the court first, instead of wanting to make some big news from the beginning, which reassures all the ministers in the court.
As for Shu Yun, he has already discovered many problems in the Han Dynasty.Although in a sense, the Han Dynasty was a typical country with a centralized system of power, in fact, what the imperial court could really manage was the three-acre land in Guanzhong, and there were other places in Guandong, because in this era, Transportation and information transmission are very inconvenient. The so-called sky is high and the emperor is far away. Even if there is any problem, the court does not know about it, and it is not easy to manage it.
In comparison, it is easier for those princes and kings.
It just so happened that Huainan Kingdom did something like this this time, Shu Yun was going to burn the first of the three fires after he came to power, directly on those princes.
Therefore, after learning about the current operating mechanism of the imperial court, Shu Yun said directly: "The bones of the first emperor are not cold, so I don't know what happened to the sinner Liu An?" His title has been cut, now Shu Yun is not called Uncle Wang anymore, he is just called a sinner.
Prime Minister Han Anguo immediately took a step forward and said: "The sinner Liu An is really ambitious. He listened to the imperial edict and didn't think about his own faults. He bound his hands and pleaded guilty naked. However, he brazenly beheaded all the ministers of Huainan Kingdom and directly launched an army to plot rebellion. Now the army has come out of Shouchun!"
Shu Yun just frowned on this side, but Han Anguo gasped heavily on the other side, and continued: "The sinner Liu An perverted, and everyone in the world is outraged. Therefore, Liu An's army was blocked by soldiers from nearby counties within fifty miles. There was a mutiny, and a righteous man burned the grain and grass in Liu An's army, and assassinated the lieutenant general. Liu An's army was defeated, and Liu An swallowed the gold and committed suicide! His son Liu Qian wanted to escape, but he was beheaded by Liu An's concubine Liu Jian, and Liu Jian committed suicide. die!"
Han Anguo explained the matter plainly in a few sentences. In his opinion, Liu An was looking for death. Since Wu Chu and other Seven Kingdoms rebelled, the court has never stopped monitoring those princes and kings.Liu An was able to release dead men in Chang'an, so naturally there were also dead men sent by the imperial court around Liu An.
Liu An thought that he had killed all the officials sent by the court who were not in the same heart as him. Bian Guoxiang coaxed the tiger talisman in his hand, and then put him under house arrest.As a result, those ministers of the country, Wang Fu, etc., were all on the surface, and what really mattered was the staff behind the scenes. They were just low-level officials in Huainan Kingdom, and they even worked in the Huainan Palace.
These people are usually inconspicuous, but when they really move, they can cause great damage.
It's like a fire in the military rations, but it's because the person in charge secretly poured a few barrels of oil into the granary. The so-called grain and grass, of course, have grain and hay specially used to feed cattle and horses, all of which are flammable. Throw a torch in, and the army rations will naturally be finished.
And those so-called righteous men who caused chaos in the army are naturally mostly these people. When the mutiny happened, some smart people immediately wanted to make things right, and quickly change their positions, so as not to turn around and follow their own bad luck.Therefore, there are quite a few people who follow the trend.
Liu An's so-called 20 army, which he managed to raise with great difficulty, completely collapsed overnight.Liu An was already old, and he almost lost his temper at that time. Seeing that he was powerless, he didn't want to be humiliated by the emperor of Chang'an like his own father back then, so he committed suicide directly.
As for the matter of the two brothers Liu Qian and Liu Jian, it was still Liu An's fault.In Liu An's case, the son born by the concubine is a treasure, and the son born by the concubine is grass. Not only did he ignore it, but he also allowed the son and the queen to bully him.
Therefore, he saw in the dark that Liu Qian wanted to flee after he caught a few of his confidants, so he took the bow and arrow in his hand and shot at them.Don't think that Liu Jian likes Liu An, but he is quite brave. When it comes to archery, although it is not perfect, it is almost the same. Therefore, after shooting a pot of arrows, all Liu Qian's followers died. As for Liu Qian, he was shot directly in the leg by two arrows, and now he can't run even if he wants to.
Liu Jian happily ran over, picked up the long sword in his hand, and stabbed Liu Qian randomly, turning Liu Qian into a fishing net with holes everywhere. There is no reason, therefore, he simply killed himself with a sword, so as not to suffer the crime of living in the future.
In short, among the princes and kings, Huainan King, who had a relatively large and wealthy country, was completely finished. As for the brothers or nephews of Huainan King, they were quite obedient, and almost immediately wrote a letter to plead guilty, and then It means that with this kind of big rebellion, the bastard who has no king and father is at odds. The imperial court has just issued an edict, and they handed over the soldiers and horses in their hands almost immediately, and handed them over to the Ting Wei for restraint, and then What made them relieved was that Liu An was really vulnerable, but within a day of starting an army, he was finished.Several people breathed a sigh of relief, and were extremely grateful for their choice.
As for the imperial court, there will naturally be rewards for the princes and kings who can set things right. However, as Liu An's closest relatives, they are not far away from the feudal kingdom. If they really treat Huainan I don't know anything about it, and the fool didn't believe it, so in the end, the court still cut off a few princes and kings to seal the country, but generally it was only one or two, which is considered meaning!
The first emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne. Naturally, most of the princes and kings had to follow him to Beijing. As for those who could not enter Beijing, it meant that these princes and kings were marginalized and could be respected and kept at a distance.
When these princes and kings entered Beijing one by one, most of them were a little apprehensive. After all, if Liu An did such a thing, the power of the princes and kings would definitely shrink again.Just like after the Wu-Chu Rebellion, Emperor Xiaojing used various means to deprive the vassal states of many powers.Among other things, the princes and kings in the past were qualified to appoint officials with two thousand stones, but now, don't even think about it.
Now that there is such a thing again, I am afraid that the imperial court must have a conclusion.
Those princes and kings who are near have arrived in Chang'an, and those who are far away are still on the way, and the court has already begun to ask how to treat these princes and kings!
In fact, for the central government, the princes and kings everywhere are a hidden danger. In other words, as bureaucrats, everyone prefers to centralize power. It's politically correct!
As for Han Anguo, although Liu Wu was promoted back then, he really didn't get much benefit from Liu Wu.Liu Wu is a person who prefers to be close to those literati who can recite poems and compose poems. He doesn't care about Han Anguo's ability to do things and know how to do things.In addition, no matter what song he sang on some hilltop, even if he was relegated to a certain vassal state to be a state minister in the future, it is naturally because the vassal king is not strong enough that he has room to display it.
Therefore, Han Anguo is very much in favor of reducing the feudal clan.
However, the question now is how to cut it, and to what extent, if it triggers the reaction of those princes and kings, what should we do?The new king was young, and the north was still facing the attack of the Huns. The imperial court could not mobilize too much power to suppress the country.Everyone remembers the lessons of the Qin Dynasty. When the rebels broke out everywhere, Qin II ordered the legions stationed on the Great Wall to return to the Central Plains to quell the rebellion. As a result, the Qin army abandoned the land of Hetao, but the Huns finally seized the opportunity. He grew up, and then defeated the Donghu people, and now he has become a confidant of the Han Dynasty.
Now if we try again, if the Huns are really allowed to enter the pass, everyone will really die and have no face to meet the emperors and ancestors of the past.
Han Anguo raised this question at the court meeting, and talked about the embarrassment. At first, he thought that the queen mother had no idea, and then he heard Shu Yun say: "Since that's the case, how about tweeting?"
Han Anguo was taken aback, and asked: "Dare to ask the queen mother, how to extend favor?"
Shu Yun said directly: "Just like what happened between King Li of Huainan and King Xiao Xiao of Liang back then, when the king passed away, all the princes can be promoted as kings or princes!"
Shu Yun was just making a head start, and the group of ministers below couldn't help but bristle immediately. This is clearly boiling frogs in warm water, and the soldiers are bloodless!For those princes and kings, unless there is a real problem, otherwise, the sons are not embarrassed to come out to say hello.Like Zhongshan King Liu Sheng, the illegitimate ones born in marriage have more than 100 sons alone. It can be said that after his death, his sons, even if they are the eldest sons, can only be the poorest princes and kings. Yes, I'm afraid that the food town is not enough. It is estimated that by then, the poorest one may not be as good as the Marquis of Guannei.
But this matter is very feasible. Whoever has few concubines and beloved young sons is really willing to let the eldest son eat everything after his death. End up like a commoner?The vast majority of people would rather be short-sighted when faced with this situation. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with me when I am alive. After I die, I don’t care about the flood!What's more, if the country is a little bigger, can't you still seal a few princes and kings, and the rest, can you also get a prince to do it?As for the grandchildren?Hehe, it's not bad if I can take care of my son, so why bother with my grandson!
Experts will know if there is one as soon as they make a move.Shu Yun just said this idea, and immediately the ministers in the court didn't dare to think that Shu Yun was just an ordinary woman, this man's wrist is very mature!Some people even thought disrespectfully, if the first emperor had such a smooth means, he probably wouldn't have died young.
In any case, after discussing with everyone at the court meeting, everyone felt that the favor order is very feasible. Next, it has to be passed by the clan, and the court can't talk to itself, so let's finalize the matter!
Therefore, after most of the princes and kings arrived in Chang'an, Shu Yun, in the name of the Queen Mother, invited these princes and kings to discuss matters in Changle Palace.
According to the usual practice, everyone first attacked the rebellious Liu An, and then, someone set their eyes on the Huainan country!It is a good place, with a good climate, rich products, and relatively well-developed commerce. Liu An can make "Huainanzi", refine elixir, and raise a large army. Wealthy, what a lot of money!Therefore, several feudal states are relatively remote, and the eyes of the princes and kings who have relatively low annual income are turning green.There are a few of them here, they are Liu Che's brothers.
Compared with Emperor Xiaowen, it is naturally impossible for Emperor Xiaojing's dozen or so sons to confer good places.Liehou may be sealed in Guanzhong, but the fiefs of these princes and kings cannot stay in Guanzhong. In this case, it is very different whether it is Qilu, the north, the southeast or the southwest.
Qilu is a good place, where the commerce is developed, and the merchants can receive a large amount of money every year just for their tribute. However, if they are unfortunately sealed up in the North or some places in the South, it will be more painful.On the one hand, there is the climate problem. It is hot and humid in summer and cold and humid in winter. It is difficult to adapt, especially in the Yangtze River Basin in the south. Nowadays, it has been plagued by various mosquitoes and parasites. These are relatively deadly things.A little further south is the territory of those small countries in the southwest, and those people are not cheap.
However, Shu Yun only skillfully practiced Tai Chi for the following princes and kings' flattery and vague inquiries, which made the princes and kings present who were familiar with Shu Yun when he was young suddenly feel a little bit I wonder, isn't that Cousin Gillian (cousin) in the past such a wealthy person, or is it that Changle Palace is so capable of tempering people, directly turning a love brain into a strong woman?
After chatting for a while, Shu Yun finally got to the point and asked, "You are all the lords of a country. I wonder who will entrust the ancestral temple after a hundred years?"
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then said honestly that the court has its own rules, and the crown prince will naturally inherit them.
Shu Yun sighed: "It's so unfair to treat other princes like this!" Shu Yun talked about the matter of Liu Qian and Liu Jian, and said that although such a thing was just an example, the families of various princes, The eldest son Fengzongmiao inherits the throne. As for the other princes, when his father is alive, he can still live in rich clothes and fine food. If his father dies, it’s okay if he can get a little more family property. No!When Emperor Hui succeeded to the throne, even though Gao Zu named his beloved son King Zhao, and Emperor Hui lived with King Zhao again, what happened in the end?When Emperor Hui changed his clothes, Liu Ruyi was sent to see his father with a glass of poisoned wine.
So, what if after a hundred years, the crown prince hated himself for favoring his younger son and attacked him directly, what should he do?Thinking about it this way, some princes and kings who were not so fair in their usual actions suddenly became a little restless.
Then, someone started to be a fan, attended directly, and asked, "I don't know why the queen mother taught me?"
Shu Yun said with a smile: "Since they are all descendants of the Liu family, why don't you show kindness to all the sons and make them all kings?"
This can be said to be a poor idea, but a group of princes and kings have nothing to say for a while. It sounds like a good idea, but it is clearly a sugar-coated poison. If you swallow it, then After three generations of feuding the country, it was almost fragmented.Don't expect that because of this, these princes and kings will be able to control their belts and not have children. There is no family planning these days, and everyone pays attention to having more children and more blessings.But now, having many children is not considered a blessing, it's not that they can't support them, it's that they can't afford to share the family property in the future!
Although it is considered a feudal patriarchal system these days, even patriarchs have to consider the opinions of family members.It is obvious that, with the tweet, except for the dissatisfaction of the eldest son, everyone else will be happy with each other.Even if it is the queen, there will be no objection, because under normal circumstances, the queen cannot have only one son, and she can't just sit and watch the eldest son inherit the feudal state, and the other sons can only inherit a little private money!
Parents generally have a kind of egalitarian thinking. Whichever son does better, he hopes that he will support the child who is not doing well.But now, as soon as the Tweeting Order comes out, everyone seems to be able to get what they want. As for what will become of their own descendants, who cares?I wish I had a good time myself!
In the end, these princes and kings had no choice but to pinch their noses to Shu Yun with complicated emotions, and complimented Liu Yan who put on a serious look, saying that it was the Queen Mother and His Majesty who sympathized with us, and I was so grateful.
No one dared to say anything extra, if they really wanted to object, they would be in trouble after returning home!
The Tweeting Decree has been passed by many princes and kings, and it is only waiting for it to be officially released at the time of the great court meeting, and then passed on to the world.
There will no longer be any problems with the princes and kings. The only thing that bothers Shu Yun is that those ministers have already clamored for Liu Xun to be the king and then go to seal the country!Just kidding, Liu Xun is only so old now, if he is really sent to Fengguo, who knows if he can grow up smoothly, so, he can be named king, but if he goes to Fengguo, forget it.However, Shu Yun didn't want his youngest son to stay in the Central Plains to be a vassal king who was destined to be constantly stripped of his authority. You must know that many places nowadays are lands without owners!
Of course, these words cannot be said now. After all, the biggest enemy of the big man is actually the Huns. Compared with the Huns, other things have to stand aside.
Now the situation on the border has been very tense, and the news on the Huns side is also very well-informed. An emperor died on the Han side, and the Huns thought it was an opportunity. Unfortunately, there was no reason for the national mourning on the Northland side. But what changes have occurred, on the contrary, the supply of food and grass is still being sent into the Northland continuously.
These days, when the emperor was buried, there were a lot of funeral objects, mainly gold, jade, and other kinds of artifacts. It can be said that after Liu Che was buried, half of the national treasury was buried with him.Fortunately, when the emperor was buried, he would usually not be buried with five baht coins, and the current common currency is still the five baht coins that Liu Che made before. Gold and the like are only circulated at the upper level and will not affect the military pay.
The Shaofu is not short of money, food, and ordnance. It can be said that the supply of the army is not a problem. The most important thing is that the army in the north has long had a deep hatred with the Huns, and it is impossible for the Huns to Cross the border again.As for Mayi, it was originally outside the Great Wall, so it became like a meat grinder there. The battle against Mayi has never stopped. Shaofu only sent craftsmen to repair crossbows and rhubarb crossbows There are already nearly a thousand people.
The Han Dynasty has a strong foundation, and it can still hold on now. In the past, they didn't count on the taxes from the North, but the Xiongnu couldn't hold on.
The economies of nomadic peoples are much weaker than those of farming peoples.The Huns can't support themselves just by herding horses and sheep, because there are always various accidents on the grassland.
To put it bluntly, the rise of ethnic groups on the grasslands has something to do with the climate. Since the Warring States period, the overall climate in China has turned cold. Now it is the beginning of the Little Ice Age. There are snowstorms on the grasslands from time to time. There will be locust plagues, and every disaster will bring a big blow to the Huns.
If the Huns marched westward, the small countries in the Western Regions would be soft persimmons, and it would be easy to grab enough food, livestock, slaves, and other wealth to make the Huns live a better life.
But now fighting against the Han Dynasty, the Great Wall is already solid and clear. They can't grab anything at all, and the losses are still huge, especially when the Huns' army goes out, they have to bring enough cattle and sheep as military rations, and these cattle Sheep also need to eat grass, and the pasture outside the Great Wall will be eaten up in a short time.
Although people nowadays don't know what sustainable development is, their instincts still make them continue to do so, just like hunters who hunt will not catch pregnant females and cubs, and must pay attention to restraint when cutting in the forest.It is said that it is the virtue of the former king, but in fact this is the simple principle of sustainable development.
The same is true for the Huns. It is impossible for them to completely destroy the grassland unless it is absolutely necessary. For them, the degradation of the grassland is a more terrible disaster than snow disasters and fires. This means that they can no longer graze in these places, and even have to go around just walk.But now, it is obviously beyond their psychological bottom line.
Therefore, everyone on the Han side is actively fighting, and on the Xiongnu side, many nobles have already started shouting to go back!
Although the Huns also care about face, like the credentials they sent to the Han Dynasty are always an inch wider than those of the Han people, but they pay more attention to their interests. When they heard that there was a rebellion in the Han country, one day After calming down, suddenly, some nobles began to clamor more and more.
When the Huns go to war, they can’t wait to send out all their clans. Of course, a few tribes will be left behind to prevent other nomads, such as Dingling people, Xiaoyuezhi people, Xianbei people, Wuhuan people and so on. Come out and sneak out to occupy their pastures and grow.
Now, in order to retaliate against the Han people for breaking the peace treaty, the Huns have lost many lives on the Great Wall. Although many of them were slaves, the various tribes of the Huns were also damaged.
Now I heard that the Han people still maintain a considerable force in the country. If they are also deployed to press on the border in the future, the Huns will not know how much damage they will suffer!
As for the military minister, he also felt withdrawn at this moment.The Huns' requirement for Shan Yu was to be able to lead them from one victory to another.Back then, Maodun Shanyu’s greatest contribution was defeating the Donghu people and dominating the grasslands. However, the old Shang Shanyu turned his attention to the West and maintained the Huns’ long-standing advantage through plundering the Western Regions. status.
In fact, the military minister Shan Yu was not loved by the old Shang Shanyu at first, but, the Huns often married close relatives, which also led to the old Shang Shanyu's dozens of children, but few of them survived. A little bit is not the opponent of the military minister Shanyu at all. Yi Zhixie was quite liked by the old Shanyu back then, but he was a little younger after all. There were enough people inside, and the military minister Shan Yu had already found an excuse to kill Yi Zhixie.
