The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]
Chapter 141 Empire Fission Part [-]
The soldier with three arrows on his back rushed forward, and wherever he went, the city gates were opened to avoid pedestrians. There were three red ribbons hanging on the arrows behind him, dancing with the wind, which was very obvious.Someone in the know immediately showed joy, "The red silk is good news, it's good news!"
"It must be a great victory at the border!"
The messenger didn't care about the people's expectant eyes, he didn't stop all the way, he went straight to the outside of Weiyang Palace, the servant at the palace gate had already received the news and said to him: "Your Majesty has given permission, you can go straight to the front hall on horseback."
The travel-worn messenger only nodded when he heard the words, and hurriedly took a cup of tea from the waiter and drank it to moisten his throat.This person traveled long distances without rest, his lips were chapped and his face was weathered, but his eyes were bright and energetic.After thanking the waiter with fists, he clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the stage horse he had just put on was full of energy and carried him forward all the way.
"Your Majesty! News from the border—" Chun Tuo received the news first, and immediately stepped into the announcement room to report.Emperor Jing was staring at the map in a daze. Hearing this, he was shaken and coughed when his breath became disordered, but he stood up indifferently, "Quick, change my clothes quickly."
"Here!" Chuntuo quickly took out the emperor's suit and put it on Liu Qi.Liu Qi even put on the crown himself. While wearing the crown, he beckoned his servant to find Liu Che, "Call the prince over here, hurry up."
Liu Cheben was studying in the side hall, and he arrived as soon as he heard the call. He put his hands on his father, and Liu Qi held his hand tightly.When they arrived at the front hall, the messenger was quickly walking up the steps holding the bamboo slips.
Seeing the emperor in the distance, the messenger protracted his tone, "Great victory at the border—"
Liu Qi had already figured it out when he saw the red silk, and he only relaxed after hearing the words of the messenger.Liu Che only felt his father loosen his arm, and his whole body shook, "Father!"
The 15-year-old boy was tall, and he immediately supported Liu Qi's back. Liu Qi only became slightly dizzy due to the sudden relaxation of his tense spirit, and soon stabilized his figure.The messenger knelt down in front of the two, holding the bamboo slips in his hand, and said: "Great victory in Mayi, killing [-] Xiongnu cavalry, taking [-] prisoners, [-] sound horses, [-] flocks of sheep, the military officer Shanyu was seriously injured and escaped."
"Okay! How's the situation of the Han army?" Liu Qi couldn't wait for Chuntuo to pick up the bamboo scroll, so he hurried forward to take it by himself.
"The Han army has about [-] casualties," the courier lowered his voice, "The soldiers who are mainly responsible for blocking the tail in Mayi City will not retreat..." Seemingly feeling a little discouraged by saying this, the courier hastily added, "Faced head-on At that time, the losses of the Han army were not great."
Liu Qi was silent when he heard this.
He naturally knew about the plan of the Han-Hungarian War. Wei Shang's plan was to cut off the Huns' army through the Wengcheng of Mayi City, and then use crossbowmen to reduce their number and divide them up.This move seems simple, but there are many difficulties.
The Han army was divided into two sections to encircle and annihilate. If one is not good, if it is brought together in one place, it will put huge pressure on the Han army.So there are two key points in this plan, one is how to bring people in, and the other is how to keep people from leaving.The former needs a group of dead soldiers as bait, while the latter can only rely on the soldiers themselves.
More than [-] casualties, this figure is enough to shock.If the final battlefield investigation determines that the situation can be controlled by the coach, but it was caused by the purpose of destroying the enemy, the coach may not only fail, but also be punished.
Liu Che was very dissatisfied with this statement. Although he knew that this was the case according to the law, he felt in his heart that extraordinary measures should be used at extraordinary times. He interceded for these soldiers at night when father and son were alone. Liu Che believed that sacrifices at certain times were acceptable. of.
However, Liu Qi seriously criticized his ideas. He even called his son by name, "Liu Che, you have to remember that the root of the country lies in the people, and the root of the people lies in fate. No victory is worth sacrificing the lives of the people." Obtained. You are the king, and you should be more aware of this."
"Do you think that exchanging one Han army for the life of one Hun is a good deal, two are profitable, and three are big profits?"
"Wrong! Big mistake!"
"Even if you change one for ten, it's a loss, because they were your citizens before they were soldiers, and you are the father of a king, and they are your children. You should always be ashamed of not being able to protect the citizens, let alone theirs. Sacrifice is taken for granted.”
"And your attitude will determine the general's attitude when he uses troops."
Liu Qi's expression was extremely serious. He squeezed his young son's hands. The recent serious illnesses seemed to have disappeared. Liu Qi's hands had never been so hard before, "Liu Che, never forget Qin Shi's lesson, and don't forget our Liu Che! Where does the family come from, and why can I become the master of this country."
"I know you have big ideas in your heart, and I know what you want to do. You have been a smart kid since you were a child. In this regard, all your brothers are inferior to you, even your brother Sheng is inferior to you. You are calmer than them. And be more ruthless."
"This is a good thing, because you are the emperor, and the emperor cannot be too merciful. But Liu Che, you have to remember—"
"The premise and conditions of all the decisions you make cannot be obtained by squeezing and abusing people's power. I will never allow you to do things like exhausting the resources and killing chickens to get eggs."
"Father!" Liu Che called out, trembling in his heart. He held his father's hand, "My son knows, and my son will never dare to think like this again in the future. Father, please sit down and drink some water."
Liu Qiding stared at him, then let go of his hand and smiled after a while, "Don't worry, my son, this old bone of being a father can last a few more years."
Just as Liu Che relaxed a bit, he heard Liu Qi say: "Sun Wu said, the march should be as swift as the wind, as slow as the forest, plundering as fire, immovable as a mountain, difficult to know as cloud, and moving as thunder."
"What's the next sentence?"
Liu Che is good at reading military books, so he naturally knew this passage, so he immediately replied without any hesitation: "It's plundering the villages to divide the masses, dividing the land to divide the profits, and hanging power...to move."
The first few sentences of the book "Art of War" are about marching, and the last two sentences are about securing the army. How to secure the army during the march?That is to plunder the enemy's finances to reward one's own people, and use benefits to tie the loyalty of one's own people, so that they know that as long as they follow themselves, they will have meat to eat.In the past, Liu Che didn't think there was any problem with this, and marching and fighting naturally had to appease his own army, but now that Liu Qi suddenly pointed it out, he suddenly realized what these eight words really meant.
"War is ruthless, and the laws of war are naturally ruthless. What do you think military books are written with? Blood is used. Your own blood and the blood of the enemy are used to forge a book of military. In order to win, there is no restraint and it is extremely cold. Liu Che, Army The generals all practice the art of war, and the military is one, without kindness, without emotion, everything is for victory, and you are not a soldier, you are a person who uses soldiers. If you can't control it, then..."
"I will definitely regret making you the crown prince."
Liu Qi said this very seriously, but Liu Che didn't feel hurt. His forehead touched the cold floor, but his heart was full of fire, "Son knows!" Liu Che's voice was a little choked, "Son will definitely not Father will be disappointed."
"I hope so." Liu Qi helped his son up, "Che'er, the big man is seriously ill now. He can walk, but he can't run. You have to take your time. Soldiers are weapons of death, and they should be used only as a last resort. The art of war is yours. I have also read, the first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city, and the ruler to decide whether to attack, attack, army or attack the city is in your hands."
He spoke too hastily in one breath, and suddenly coughed continuously. Liu Che immediately rushed over to pass water and patted his back. The emperor calmed down and said, "It's okay." With a few traces of seriousness: "Ma Yi is a great victory, but the Xiongnu can't swallow this breath, and will definitely counterattack, but fortunately, the military minister Shan Yu is seriously injured, and he must gather forces to protect the king's tent. Most likely it is just Xiaobo's intrusion. You can mention this matter. The frontier generals naturally knew that. Father is fine, father is just a little tired and needs to rest."
Liu Che insisted on not going out. He sat beside Liu Qi, and he was relieved until he was sure that his father was just asleep. However, during the night, he repeatedly stretched out his hand to test Emperor Jing's breathing, fearing that his father would be too relaxed because of a deep-rooted worry. Exhausted energy.
As Emperor Jing expected, from March to May in the second year of Emperor Jing's Yuan Dynasty, there were endless disturbances at the border.Fortunately, after a big victory, the whole people were excited, and the people spontaneously sent supplies to the Northland. The Han army could not shrink back by relying on the reinforced city walls, and the Hu tribe usually had to return without success.After May, the harassment from the Northern Hu subsided, and news came from the grassland that Shan Yu, a military official, was seriously injured and died.
His Khan position should have been passed down to Zuoxian King Yu Shan, but before Yu Shan got the news, Zuo Guli King turned his back.
Yi Zhixie made himself king.
The power of the king's account was greatly reduced in the previous war, and Yi Zhixie was outstanding in that battle. When he evacuated later, he took the initiative to stay in the rear under pressure. Originally, the power of the Zuoguli tribe should be greatly reduced, but the nomadic tribe respects heroes and does not The young soldiers took the initiative to stay and help, and later raised their tents to join the Zuoguli tribe, and the power of the Zuoguli tribe rose steadily for a while.
Afterwards, in the process of retaliating against sexual harassment, the Zuo Gu Li Department was even more eye-catching, while the Wang Zhang was injured because of the army minister Shan Yu, and the Zuo Xian Wang Department was shrinking in strength because of the succession of the Shan Yu. Zuo Guli's arrogance soared to the sky.
Therefore, on the day when the military minister Shanyu closed his eyes, the Xiongnu nobles, who were dissatisfied with the military minister Shanyu's rash actions and various previous actions, chose to support King Zuoguli one after another.
The flames of war ignited again on the grassland.
During this critical period, Nangong Yan, who had been ill for many days, stood up. The thin and haggard woman expressed her firm support for the final decision of the Great Shan Yu, and she stood by Yu Shan's side.
According to the rules of the Huns, after the death of the great Shan Yu, the Da Yan family can temporarily take over his duties.Of course, there is some water in it. If the Da Yan family is from a noble family, it's fine, and it has the support of its own tribe. However, Nangong's embarrassing status can only make a statement. In fact, speaking out does not have much effect.
But in any case, Nangong occupies the title of the Da Yan family. As the saying goes, "the name is right and the words are right", the words of the Da Yan family still have some weight, so many "royalists" also raised the title of Nangong. flag.
The war on the grassland was rekindled due to the dispute between the two factions, but at this time, the Han court publicly rewarded the people who made great contributions in the previous war, and the people also wanted to hold public sacrifices for the dead.
Among all the memorial tablets for the deceased, two are the most eye-catching. These two people were placed at the front, but their names were not written on them.
Who are these two people?This question lingers in everyone's mind.Liu Che went to Mayi on behalf of the Han court, offered three cups of water and wine to the dead, and retreated to the back, also curiously asked Dou Wan who was acquainted with him.
"They were dating before, so they can't write their names." Dou Wan replied.
What is the reason?
Later Liu Che learned that one of the two was a slave brought to Daijun after the Han-Hungarian trade. This man had returned to his homeland during the first Han-Hungarian trade. He expressed his willingness to inquire about the news for the big man, so he turned around and went to the Huns again. Since then, he has been lurking on the prairie for many years, until he seized the opportunity this time.
The other was originally an ordinary businessman, but later accidentally hooked up with spies. This time, he also took the initiative to ask Ying to be another bait. It was the two of them who led the Xiongnu army into Mayi.Afterwards, the two were killed by the Huns to vent their anger, and the Wengcheng of Mayi was burned again, and the bodies were never found.
"It's their own request not to write their names." Dou Wan, who knew him well, explained, "They left their last words before the battle, and they didn't want to leave their names in the world."
Liu Che couldn't understand why. If he didn't leave his name, how would he enjoy sacrifices in the future?But Dou Wan shook his head, "If the two of them leave their names, it will bring trouble to their family, and there will inevitably be Hun spies among the people."
Liu Che was in awe.
The next day, according to the event regulations, Liu Che was going to visit the disabled soldiers.
He was born in a peaceful age and grew up in the court. Although he thought he was brave and went to the military camp all the year round, his eyes were sore when he saw these soldiers.
The city walls of Mayi City were damaged during the battle, and later experienced several retaliatory attacks, and the overall building has not had time to be repaired.In a barely built house, Liu Che saw the resting Han soldiers.
After taking off the armor, they were just a group of boys slightly older than him, with green faces.The whole room was filled with the smell of herbs and the lingering smell of blood and rancidity.
Even if they knew it was a big shot, many of them couldn't stand up straight, and their eyes were even more complicated.Liu Che shook his lips, he took two steps forward, and hid the bamboo scroll with formulaic soothing words written in his sleeve, he couldn't take it out anyway.
The one closest to the door was a baby-faced soldier. Seeing Liu Che approaching, he was curious, "Are you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"I'm the prince." Liu Che walked over hurriedly, seeing the little soldier stretching out his hand, he immediately handed it over, just in time to shake hands with the baby-faced soldier.The baby face was immediately surprised, "So the prince's hands are also hot! Hehe, I can actually touch the prince."
Liu Che's gaze fell on the boy's lower body involuntarily, and the area covered by a white cloth was empty.Seeing Liu Che looking over, the young man smiled, "My leg was pinned down at the time, and the log was burning. My colleagues wanted to rescue me, but they couldn't lift it, so they chopped off my leg and saved my life."
Hearing the words, the young prince's throat was choked up, and after a long time, he asked nonchalantly, "Does it hurt?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.If you lose your legs, is there any reason why it doesn't hurt?The young prince was a little annoyed at his clumsiness.
"It hurts." The baby face didn't notice the unease on the prince's face, and said frankly, "At that time, I still felt that I wished I could be burned to death, and I had to scrape off a layer of carrion every day, but now I still feel that it is better to be alive, otherwise how can I see the living prince."
Liu Che's other finger twitched convulsively, and he asked again: "I heard that at that time, you all dragged the Huns to prevent them from leaving... and you deliberately entered the burning urn city?"
"Yeah, hey, those barbarians are really cunning." Babyface pointed to his side and closed his eyes to rest, completely ignoring a guy in Liu Che's business, "Zhu Zi is amazing, he held three people by himself. The Huns are so strong that they brought back the horses forcefully."
But this person no longer has hands.Liu Che couldn't bear it.
The baby face seemed to be used to Liu Che's expression, and he turned to comfort the little prince, "Your Highness, it's okay, it's great if we can save our lives, and the country will give us tax exemption after we go back."
Liu Che's lips trembled, and he bit his back molars. He knew why these people dragged the Huns to prevent them from leaving, because the soldiers in Mayi City didn't know that there was an ambush outside the city. When the people let go, they are going to ruin the people in the city.These county magistrates here have explained to him just now, but he still wanted to ask, "Why?"
The baby face seemed a little puzzled why he asked that question, he thought for a while, and finally touched his head with the other hand, "Your Highness is really the first person to ask me this question, how can there be so many reasons... because behind us It’s home. When we quit, the home is gone.”
After all, he showed a simple and honest smile, "Everyone thinks so, I'm not the only one."
Liu Che's lips trembled. These people will be behind the scenes, but these "family members" never regard these soldiers as "family members"
These soldiers voted for Qiong Yao, but what they returned was worthless papaya!
Liu Che tossed and turned in the carriage for several days, all the feelings in his heart, he suddenly felt how arrogant he was in the past, and when he thought of his words in the past, he felt very childish, so he brewed all the way, and when he returned to Chang'an, he would post a letter .
He wanted to erect a monument for these unknown people, those who could not leave their names, and those who did not know their names, and Liu Che wanted to erect this monument on the Xianyang Plain, and share it among these people with the incense of the Liu family as a sacrifice for a day. One day.
The young prince believed that if the ancestors were not willing, they would share his incense. He felt that these people were worth everything.
Liu Qi stared at him for a moment and agreed.
The father and son sent people to quarry the huge stone and summoned craftsmen to discuss the inscription in person, carefully revised every word, and finally Liu Qi wrote the pen. The prime minister, Wei Wan, wanted to stop it when he heard that the monument was going to be built. He thought that His Majesty wanted to imitate the Emperor Qin. Usually, there are monuments to write about his achievements, but after hearing what he made, he was speechless for a while, then bowed deeply to the little prince, and said nothing more.
In the summer and May of the second year of the Houyuan Dynasty, Liu Qi rejected the vassal king's entry into the court, and sent all the princes and kings staying in the country back to the country.Liu Wu, the king of Liang, wrote to stay in court, but was rejected.Later, Liu Wu contracted a disease on the way home. After arriving in the feudal kingdom, he fell ill and died before the good doctor from Chang'an arrived.
Empress Dowager Dou lost her beloved son, and it was hard to accept it for a while, and then thinking of Liu Qi's actions before, she blamed all the reasons for the death of the youngest son on the eldest son.When Emperor Jingdi came to ask for his peace, Empress Dowager Dou either looked indifferent, or stabbed him with words, even if the eldest princess Liu Piao and her beloved niece Chen Jiao came to comfort him, she couldn't let go.
The relationship between mother and child fell into a trough for a while.
Emperor Jing was also seriously ill because of this.Although Empress Dowager Dou's love for her eldest son was not as good as that of her younger son, she was still kind.Having lost one child, she could never lose another.Although Empress Dowager Dou still had grievances in her heart, her attitude towards her eldest son finally softened, and she showed much concern for Liu Qi.
After he recovered from his illness, Emperor Jing decreed to divide Liang Guo equally, and all Liang Wang's inheritance was equally distributed to all Liang Wang's children, regardless of his concubines, and he also granted the title to his deceased younger brother to show his favor.I don't know if this action has appeased the Empress Dou Dou, but at least all people in the world must think that Liu Qi has a deep brotherly love for his younger brother, and that's enough.
In the autumn and October of the third year of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Jing issued several decrees, depriving the local vassals of their right to set up officials, all the army was nationalized, and the lieutenants were also appointed by the state. This move did not cause any fluctuations, like a stone falling into a pool.
First there was the governor to supervise the country, then there was the deprivation of the right to govern the country, and now it is a matter of depriving officials of their right to hold office?Does deprivation of the army count?
If you have any opinions, please refer to the emperor's uncle who just died and Liu An who hasn't figured out how to die yet.But people really can't bear to worry about it, and not long after, Liu An's handling was announced.
Liu Qi was relieved, except for Liu An who was sent to see Gu Huangling, none of Huainan Wang's family members were implicated in any way, they were just demoted to common people.For a sinner who committed the crime of rebellion and collaborating with the enemy, it can definitely be called magnanimity.
On the first day of the first month of winter, Liu Qi crowned his son Liu Che with a title.
This was the last public appearance of the emperor. At that time, he was seriously ill and there was no cure. The whole crowning process was barely completed with the support of Chuntuo.
Liu Che knelt in front of Liu Qi with tears in his eyes, and his father still put on the black cloth crown, leather bezel, and crown for him in sequence with trembling hands.This process was extremely long, and Emperor Jing could not stand still in the icy cold wind, but he specifically rejected the suggestion to crown the crown directly before.
"The coronation ceremony of each of my children is done by myself." The haggard emperor squeezed the prince's hand and said, "The prince is the last one to be crowned, so we can't wrong him too."
So Liu Che could only look up and watch his father's hands, with Chuntuo's help, press layers of hair crowns on his head little by little. Father's face, wanting to remember all this scene in his heart.In order to complete this simplistic but lengthy etiquette, Liu Qi drank the medicine of tiger and wolf.
The effect of the medicine is exhausted, and his father's lifespan is also...
The crown was the largest and heaviest, and Liu Qi was unable to lift it physically. Chuntuo had no choice but to cover the emperor's hands with his hands to help him set up the crown, and then followed Liu Qi's strength to place it on the crown. On Liu Che's head.
"Liu Che!" The emperor looked at the young son who was scrambling to tie a knot on his crown and smiled. He was already very tired, but the smile he raised at this time was extremely relaxed: "You have grown up and grown up. From now on, you have to be a good man and stand up to the sky of a big man."
He waved his hand, Prime Minister Wei Wan unfolded the bamboo scroll and said: "Crown Prince Che, I have bestowed you with good characters. From now on, I will order him to supervise state affairs."
Liu Che held his father's hand tightly. He felt as if the last bit of warmth in Liu Qi's hand would dissipate as soon as he let go. After hearing his father's order, Liu Che burst into tears, "Father!"
"Che'er," Liu Qi smiled slightly, "Father won't be able to see the rivers and mountains of my big man, but it doesn't matter, the money saved by my father will be handed over to you, and you can save a few years of struggle. When the time comes , go and see for my father, see this great river and mountain, see the people of the Li people, and see if they have really crossed the road for the better."
"I don't want this money! Father, you have to spend all the money you saved yourself!" Liu Che and Chun Tuo supported Liu Qi together.
At this moment, he saw Emperor Buhuo rushing towards him, Liu Che suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "Father!"
"Next, you still have to complete the etiquette. You have to meet your benefactor and elders." Liu Qi lay down on the step with the support, and the step was wrapped with silk, and outsiders could not see his posture.As soon as Liu Qi lay down, he didn't even have the strength to adjust his posture, he just looked at him with a smile in an awkward posture that was uncomfortable at first sight, "Go, Che'er, I don't want to see you regret. "
Liu Qi's words were weak, outsiders could not see the Crown Prince Jishou and bid farewell to his father for a long time, and could not hear Liu Qi's words, only felt the deep love between father and son and did not feel any difference.
When Liu Che stood up again, his expression had been sorted out and there was no sign of any abnormality. After watching his father leave, he just wanted to end the ceremony quickly, and even faster, he wanted to rush to his father's side.
In the third year of Houyuan, winter, on January 48nd, the day after the Crown Prince was crowned, Liu Qi, the sixth emperor of the Han Dynasty, collapsed in Weiyang Palace. He died at the age of [-] and was buried in Yangling.
Crown Prince Liu Che is the emperor.
The following year, in the first year of Emperor Wu's reign, Liu Che ordered the completed monument of the unknown hero to be erected in front of the Yangling where his father was buried, and he went to pay his respects in person.
The inscription was written by Emperor Jing, and everyone in Jinshi carved it on the stone tablet according to Emperor Jing's manuscript. Every word and every sentence seemed to Liu Che to be his father's breath.This was the last thing left to him by his father, and together with his father's teachings, it penetrated deeply into the psychology of the young emperor.
The long river is the pharynx, and the green hills are the evidence.
Do you say nameless?Rivers and mountains are named after them.
He has the best father and grandfather in the world. His grandfather assembled a loom bit by bit, and his father used it to carefully weave a piece of exquisite brocade for him, and then put it on Liu Che. .
Now the 16-year-old is striding forward, and he has built his armor on it and has been undefeated ever since.
In the first month of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty before Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed the year name to Jianyuan. In the same year, he called all virtuous and upright people from all over the country to enter Chang'an City, and ordered that anyone who wanted to join the army could directly enter Chang'an for self-recommendation without going through the counties and counties.
In the summer and April of that year, Liu Che issued three imperial edicts:
As long as there are old people in the family, in addition to being given rice and noodles, the men in the family will be exempted from hard labor so that they can concentrate on caring for the elderly.
For those who died in the army, the local government will distribute food to their sons every month to support them as adults.
Forgive the crime of being implicated in the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion and being a servant of the official family, and will be repatriated.
One month later, he ordered the removal of more than [-] palace guards, and opened the horse garden in Chang'an City to allow people to graze and collect firewood.
However, within half a year, with Empress Dowager Dou's delegation of authority and the support of Dou Ying, Wei Wan and other ministers, Liu Che quickly put the entire Han Dynasty's state affairs on the right track.The young emperor is ambitious, but he needs patience for his goal.
His luck was good, the other was not so lucky.
He is also the heir to the throne, but the Xiongnu prince Yu Dan was defeated by his uncle. His left power was devoured by the Zuo Guli tribe, and the king's tent power was divided into two factions, unable to defeat the enemy with all his strength.Under such circumstances, even if he was born in an orthodox manner, Yu Dan could not win the position of Grand Chanyu.
Some loyal courtiers advised him that under such circumstances, if he insisted on it, he would definitely suffer a loss, and he might as well shrink his power and occupy it for the time being.Yu Dan adopted his opinion, but just when he was about to retreat, the camp was suddenly attacked, and the person who came was an irrelevant person from the right.
Facing the stunned Yu Dan, the other party shrugged, saying that Your Highness, you don't mind, we just want to use your head to hand over a certificate of honor.
It dawned on Yu Dan that since ancient times, in the battle for the throne, it has only been life and death. Even if Yi Zhixie didn't make a move, someone would do it for him.
If you want to survive, you must find a way to survive.His gaze involuntarily turned to Da Yan's who was drinking tea calmly.
In May of the second year of Jianyuan, Prince Yu Shan of the Huns took the second princess of the Han Dynasty, Princess Nangong, and the youngest prince of the Huns, Jin Riyi, to the Han Dynasty.
Liu Che looked at his still beautiful sister with a bit of hesitation, but Nangong, who had changed back to Princess Han's costume, smiled and said to Liu Che, "I'm sorry! Cheer, my sister was too lazy to wait, so she came back by herself. .”
The young Han emperor was surprised when he heard this, and smiled after a while: "Sister, welcome back."
Thanks for your hard work.
In July of the second year of Jianyuan, Yu Yizhixie, the new successor of the Xiongnu, sent a letter of credence requesting the return of King Youxian and the Dayan clan of the Huns who had been kidnapped by the Han army.The big man replied that we only have Marquis She'an and Princess Nangong, and there is no Right Wise King Dayanshi.Yizhixie complained that Han was taken in in Shan, and sent troops to Daijun, Yanmen, Dingxiang, Shangjun and other places to invade and plunder.
The big man reacted very quickly, and immediately launched a retaliatory action, sending Li Guang, Li Danghu, Wei Qing, and Dou Wan to divide into four armies and order [-] cavalry from Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Shanggudai Commanderies to attack the Xiongnu in the north.
Li Guang and Li Danghu, the two father and son soldiers cooperated tacitly, and both rushed to the right of the Huns, while the two teams of Wei Qing and Dou Wan went directly northward, miraculously bypassing the grazing tribes all the way to Cage City.
Dou Wan had previously listened to Xia Anran's words that if he went to the grassland with Wei Qing, he had to trust his ability to guide the way. Therefore, the army followed Wei Qing's intuition and a few surrenders throughout the whole process, except for relying on the bird squad led by Dou Wan to find water sources. Guided by the Xiongnu soldiers, although he trusted...but Dou Wan was still stunned when he saw the ending.
Cage City is where all the sacrifices of the Xiongnu are held. Both the left and right tribes and the king's tent meet here every year. It can be said that it is one of the few fixed places on the northern grassland where everything is swimming.Therefore, the position of this place was well protected by the Huns.
They never expected that the first time they went deep into the grassland, they would touch the old nest in the old nest.
The [-] Han troops were all cavalry, and there was almost no reduction in personnel on the road. There was no need to implement any plan with such an organization.In addition to taking away the Huns who were guarding the place, Dou Wan also had people take away everything from the place where the Huns worshiped heaven.To Shang Weiqing's suspicious gaze, he replied very calmly, "This way the effect is better."
Effect?what effect?Wei Qing followed the trend, and couldn't help but nodded when he saw the broken look of the bound Huns when the Han people actually removed their holy statues.
It was so, it was this effect, he couldn't help but be in awe.
Just like when they left, when the Han army returned to the country, it was also the focus of attention, because after holding the cage city, although strictly speaking, the results of Wei Qing and Dou Wan's team were not as eye-catching as that of Li's father and son, but the significance was even greater.The Huns who surrendered to the Han army reported to Liu Che that they wanted to worship the gods, and Liu Xiaoche, who was not afraid of big things, thought it was interesting that a group of Huns worshiped the icons of the Huns on the territory of the Han people, so he specially allowed it .
The Huns on the grassland almost went crazy after hearing the news. They didn't even care about the land in Henan that had been dug away. They attacked the border one after another just thinking about taking back the statue.Since then, there has been a see-saw between the Han and the Hungarian for several years.
In the end, Yizhixie was constrained by the tribe's demand for salt, coupled with the sharp drop in the population of the grassland, it was really impossible to fight anymore and needed to recuperate, so he had to initiate a peace.
In this year, Liu Che got his eldest daughter. The old Liu family has a tradition of blooming first and then bearing fruit, so he was not at all unhappy that his first child was a daughter. He became a father for the first time and was seeking peace with the Huns At that time, Liu Che loved this daughter like a treasure, and even wanted to make her the eldest princess, but was stopped by the little princess's mother.
But even so, he also carefully selected a wealthy place and gave it to his daughter as a fief.
After waking up from the silly father mode, Liu Che thought over and over again. He quietly wrote a letter to his brother, asking if he wanted to adopt his daughter to him.
This stupid idea was sternly rejected by Xia Anran who was between Duoduo and Changchang. Not only did she refuse, Xia Anran also gave Liu Xiaozhu a long and lengthy ideological education on Liu Xiaozhu's behavior of not respecting the baby's mother at all. , to sum it up - brother, if you continue like this, others will call you a scumbag!
He didn't know that when Liu Che sat in the empty proclamation room and unfolded his brother's letter with the same tone as before, he smiled slightly.
People say that sweet dreams are easy to wake up, but Xia Anran has had this dream for more than 40 years. He has grown from a child to a middle-aged elderly man, and finally closed his eyes while holding the hand of his lover in the company of his adopted son. of.For a normal person, there are no regrets in this life.
Because when saying goodbye, he was quite free and easy.Seeing Dou Wan's middle-aged, but extraordinarily handsome face, Xia Anran smiled, "Have a good time."
"I know."
"I can wait for you, don't come too early."
"……it is good."
"Ah Wan."
"Hey."
Xia Anran pursed her lips, showing a shy smile, and whispered: "If there is an afterlife, I still want to meet you again."
Unfortunately, it is impossible.
He smiled at his lover who made the same promise, and closed his eyes.

"It must be a great victory at the border!"
The messenger didn't care about the people's expectant eyes, he didn't stop all the way, he went straight to the outside of Weiyang Palace, the servant at the palace gate had already received the news and said to him: "Your Majesty has given permission, you can go straight to the front hall on horseback."
The travel-worn messenger only nodded when he heard the words, and hurriedly took a cup of tea from the waiter and drank it to moisten his throat.This person traveled long distances without rest, his lips were chapped and his face was weathered, but his eyes were bright and energetic.After thanking the waiter with fists, he clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the stage horse he had just put on was full of energy and carried him forward all the way.
"Your Majesty! News from the border—" Chun Tuo received the news first, and immediately stepped into the announcement room to report.Emperor Jing was staring at the map in a daze. Hearing this, he was shaken and coughed when his breath became disordered, but he stood up indifferently, "Quick, change my clothes quickly."
"Here!" Chuntuo quickly took out the emperor's suit and put it on Liu Qi.Liu Qi even put on the crown himself. While wearing the crown, he beckoned his servant to find Liu Che, "Call the prince over here, hurry up."
Liu Cheben was studying in the side hall, and he arrived as soon as he heard the call. He put his hands on his father, and Liu Qi held his hand tightly.When they arrived at the front hall, the messenger was quickly walking up the steps holding the bamboo slips.
Seeing the emperor in the distance, the messenger protracted his tone, "Great victory at the border—"
Liu Qi had already figured it out when he saw the red silk, and he only relaxed after hearing the words of the messenger.Liu Che only felt his father loosen his arm, and his whole body shook, "Father!"
The 15-year-old boy was tall, and he immediately supported Liu Qi's back. Liu Qi only became slightly dizzy due to the sudden relaxation of his tense spirit, and soon stabilized his figure.The messenger knelt down in front of the two, holding the bamboo slips in his hand, and said: "Great victory in Mayi, killing [-] Xiongnu cavalry, taking [-] prisoners, [-] sound horses, [-] flocks of sheep, the military officer Shanyu was seriously injured and escaped."
"Okay! How's the situation of the Han army?" Liu Qi couldn't wait for Chuntuo to pick up the bamboo scroll, so he hurried forward to take it by himself.
"The Han army has about [-] casualties," the courier lowered his voice, "The soldiers who are mainly responsible for blocking the tail in Mayi City will not retreat..." Seemingly feeling a little discouraged by saying this, the courier hastily added, "Faced head-on At that time, the losses of the Han army were not great."
Liu Qi was silent when he heard this.
He naturally knew about the plan of the Han-Hungarian War. Wei Shang's plan was to cut off the Huns' army through the Wengcheng of Mayi City, and then use crossbowmen to reduce their number and divide them up.This move seems simple, but there are many difficulties.
The Han army was divided into two sections to encircle and annihilate. If one is not good, if it is brought together in one place, it will put huge pressure on the Han army.So there are two key points in this plan, one is how to bring people in, and the other is how to keep people from leaving.The former needs a group of dead soldiers as bait, while the latter can only rely on the soldiers themselves.
More than [-] casualties, this figure is enough to shock.If the final battlefield investigation determines that the situation can be controlled by the coach, but it was caused by the purpose of destroying the enemy, the coach may not only fail, but also be punished.
Liu Che was very dissatisfied with this statement. Although he knew that this was the case according to the law, he felt in his heart that extraordinary measures should be used at extraordinary times. He interceded for these soldiers at night when father and son were alone. Liu Che believed that sacrifices at certain times were acceptable. of.
However, Liu Qi seriously criticized his ideas. He even called his son by name, "Liu Che, you have to remember that the root of the country lies in the people, and the root of the people lies in fate. No victory is worth sacrificing the lives of the people." Obtained. You are the king, and you should be more aware of this."
"Do you think that exchanging one Han army for the life of one Hun is a good deal, two are profitable, and three are big profits?"
"Wrong! Big mistake!"
"Even if you change one for ten, it's a loss, because they were your citizens before they were soldiers, and you are the father of a king, and they are your children. You should always be ashamed of not being able to protect the citizens, let alone theirs. Sacrifice is taken for granted.”
"And your attitude will determine the general's attitude when he uses troops."
Liu Qi's expression was extremely serious. He squeezed his young son's hands. The recent serious illnesses seemed to have disappeared. Liu Qi's hands had never been so hard before, "Liu Che, never forget Qin Shi's lesson, and don't forget our Liu Che! Where does the family come from, and why can I become the master of this country."
"I know you have big ideas in your heart, and I know what you want to do. You have been a smart kid since you were a child. In this regard, all your brothers are inferior to you, even your brother Sheng is inferior to you. You are calmer than them. And be more ruthless."
"This is a good thing, because you are the emperor, and the emperor cannot be too merciful. But Liu Che, you have to remember—"
"The premise and conditions of all the decisions you make cannot be obtained by squeezing and abusing people's power. I will never allow you to do things like exhausting the resources and killing chickens to get eggs."
"Father!" Liu Che called out, trembling in his heart. He held his father's hand, "My son knows, and my son will never dare to think like this again in the future. Father, please sit down and drink some water."
Liu Qiding stared at him, then let go of his hand and smiled after a while, "Don't worry, my son, this old bone of being a father can last a few more years."
Just as Liu Che relaxed a bit, he heard Liu Qi say: "Sun Wu said, the march should be as swift as the wind, as slow as the forest, plundering as fire, immovable as a mountain, difficult to know as cloud, and moving as thunder."
"What's the next sentence?"
Liu Che is good at reading military books, so he naturally knew this passage, so he immediately replied without any hesitation: "It's plundering the villages to divide the masses, dividing the land to divide the profits, and hanging power...to move."
The first few sentences of the book "Art of War" are about marching, and the last two sentences are about securing the army. How to secure the army during the march?That is to plunder the enemy's finances to reward one's own people, and use benefits to tie the loyalty of one's own people, so that they know that as long as they follow themselves, they will have meat to eat.In the past, Liu Che didn't think there was any problem with this, and marching and fighting naturally had to appease his own army, but now that Liu Qi suddenly pointed it out, he suddenly realized what these eight words really meant.
"War is ruthless, and the laws of war are naturally ruthless. What do you think military books are written with? Blood is used. Your own blood and the blood of the enemy are used to forge a book of military. In order to win, there is no restraint and it is extremely cold. Liu Che, Army The generals all practice the art of war, and the military is one, without kindness, without emotion, everything is for victory, and you are not a soldier, you are a person who uses soldiers. If you can't control it, then..."
"I will definitely regret making you the crown prince."
Liu Qi said this very seriously, but Liu Che didn't feel hurt. His forehead touched the cold floor, but his heart was full of fire, "Son knows!" Liu Che's voice was a little choked, "Son will definitely not Father will be disappointed."
"I hope so." Liu Qi helped his son up, "Che'er, the big man is seriously ill now. He can walk, but he can't run. You have to take your time. Soldiers are weapons of death, and they should be used only as a last resort. The art of war is yours. I have also read, the first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city, and the ruler to decide whether to attack, attack, army or attack the city is in your hands."
He spoke too hastily in one breath, and suddenly coughed continuously. Liu Che immediately rushed over to pass water and patted his back. The emperor calmed down and said, "It's okay." With a few traces of seriousness: "Ma Yi is a great victory, but the Xiongnu can't swallow this breath, and will definitely counterattack, but fortunately, the military minister Shan Yu is seriously injured, and he must gather forces to protect the king's tent. Most likely it is just Xiaobo's intrusion. You can mention this matter. The frontier generals naturally knew that. Father is fine, father is just a little tired and needs to rest."
Liu Che insisted on not going out. He sat beside Liu Qi, and he was relieved until he was sure that his father was just asleep. However, during the night, he repeatedly stretched out his hand to test Emperor Jing's breathing, fearing that his father would be too relaxed because of a deep-rooted worry. Exhausted energy.
As Emperor Jing expected, from March to May in the second year of Emperor Jing's Yuan Dynasty, there were endless disturbances at the border.Fortunately, after a big victory, the whole people were excited, and the people spontaneously sent supplies to the Northland. The Han army could not shrink back by relying on the reinforced city walls, and the Hu tribe usually had to return without success.After May, the harassment from the Northern Hu subsided, and news came from the grassland that Shan Yu, a military official, was seriously injured and died.
His Khan position should have been passed down to Zuoxian King Yu Shan, but before Yu Shan got the news, Zuo Guli King turned his back.
Yi Zhixie made himself king.
The power of the king's account was greatly reduced in the previous war, and Yi Zhixie was outstanding in that battle. When he evacuated later, he took the initiative to stay in the rear under pressure. Originally, the power of the Zuoguli tribe should be greatly reduced, but the nomadic tribe respects heroes and does not The young soldiers took the initiative to stay and help, and later raised their tents to join the Zuoguli tribe, and the power of the Zuoguli tribe rose steadily for a while.
Afterwards, in the process of retaliating against sexual harassment, the Zuo Gu Li Department was even more eye-catching, while the Wang Zhang was injured because of the army minister Shan Yu, and the Zuo Xian Wang Department was shrinking in strength because of the succession of the Shan Yu. Zuo Guli's arrogance soared to the sky.
Therefore, on the day when the military minister Shanyu closed his eyes, the Xiongnu nobles, who were dissatisfied with the military minister Shanyu's rash actions and various previous actions, chose to support King Zuoguli one after another.
The flames of war ignited again on the grassland.
During this critical period, Nangong Yan, who had been ill for many days, stood up. The thin and haggard woman expressed her firm support for the final decision of the Great Shan Yu, and she stood by Yu Shan's side.
According to the rules of the Huns, after the death of the great Shan Yu, the Da Yan family can temporarily take over his duties.Of course, there is some water in it. If the Da Yan family is from a noble family, it's fine, and it has the support of its own tribe. However, Nangong's embarrassing status can only make a statement. In fact, speaking out does not have much effect.
But in any case, Nangong occupies the title of the Da Yan family. As the saying goes, "the name is right and the words are right", the words of the Da Yan family still have some weight, so many "royalists" also raised the title of Nangong. flag.
The war on the grassland was rekindled due to the dispute between the two factions, but at this time, the Han court publicly rewarded the people who made great contributions in the previous war, and the people also wanted to hold public sacrifices for the dead.
Among all the memorial tablets for the deceased, two are the most eye-catching. These two people were placed at the front, but their names were not written on them.
Who are these two people?This question lingers in everyone's mind.Liu Che went to Mayi on behalf of the Han court, offered three cups of water and wine to the dead, and retreated to the back, also curiously asked Dou Wan who was acquainted with him.
"They were dating before, so they can't write their names." Dou Wan replied.
What is the reason?
Later Liu Che learned that one of the two was a slave brought to Daijun after the Han-Hungarian trade. This man had returned to his homeland during the first Han-Hungarian trade. He expressed his willingness to inquire about the news for the big man, so he turned around and went to the Huns again. Since then, he has been lurking on the prairie for many years, until he seized the opportunity this time.
The other was originally an ordinary businessman, but later accidentally hooked up with spies. This time, he also took the initiative to ask Ying to be another bait. It was the two of them who led the Xiongnu army into Mayi.Afterwards, the two were killed by the Huns to vent their anger, and the Wengcheng of Mayi was burned again, and the bodies were never found.
"It's their own request not to write their names." Dou Wan, who knew him well, explained, "They left their last words before the battle, and they didn't want to leave their names in the world."
Liu Che couldn't understand why. If he didn't leave his name, how would he enjoy sacrifices in the future?But Dou Wan shook his head, "If the two of them leave their names, it will bring trouble to their family, and there will inevitably be Hun spies among the people."
Liu Che was in awe.
The next day, according to the event regulations, Liu Che was going to visit the disabled soldiers.
He was born in a peaceful age and grew up in the court. Although he thought he was brave and went to the military camp all the year round, his eyes were sore when he saw these soldiers.
The city walls of Mayi City were damaged during the battle, and later experienced several retaliatory attacks, and the overall building has not had time to be repaired.In a barely built house, Liu Che saw the resting Han soldiers.
After taking off the armor, they were just a group of boys slightly older than him, with green faces.The whole room was filled with the smell of herbs and the lingering smell of blood and rancidity.
Even if they knew it was a big shot, many of them couldn't stand up straight, and their eyes were even more complicated.Liu Che shook his lips, he took two steps forward, and hid the bamboo scroll with formulaic soothing words written in his sleeve, he couldn't take it out anyway.
The one closest to the door was a baby-faced soldier. Seeing Liu Che approaching, he was curious, "Are you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"I'm the prince." Liu Che walked over hurriedly, seeing the little soldier stretching out his hand, he immediately handed it over, just in time to shake hands with the baby-faced soldier.The baby face was immediately surprised, "So the prince's hands are also hot! Hehe, I can actually touch the prince."
Liu Che's gaze fell on the boy's lower body involuntarily, and the area covered by a white cloth was empty.Seeing Liu Che looking over, the young man smiled, "My leg was pinned down at the time, and the log was burning. My colleagues wanted to rescue me, but they couldn't lift it, so they chopped off my leg and saved my life."
Hearing the words, the young prince's throat was choked up, and after a long time, he asked nonchalantly, "Does it hurt?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.If you lose your legs, is there any reason why it doesn't hurt?The young prince was a little annoyed at his clumsiness.
"It hurts." The baby face didn't notice the unease on the prince's face, and said frankly, "At that time, I still felt that I wished I could be burned to death, and I had to scrape off a layer of carrion every day, but now I still feel that it is better to be alive, otherwise how can I see the living prince."
Liu Che's other finger twitched convulsively, and he asked again: "I heard that at that time, you all dragged the Huns to prevent them from leaving... and you deliberately entered the burning urn city?"
"Yeah, hey, those barbarians are really cunning." Babyface pointed to his side and closed his eyes to rest, completely ignoring a guy in Liu Che's business, "Zhu Zi is amazing, he held three people by himself. The Huns are so strong that they brought back the horses forcefully."
But this person no longer has hands.Liu Che couldn't bear it.
The baby face seemed to be used to Liu Che's expression, and he turned to comfort the little prince, "Your Highness, it's okay, it's great if we can save our lives, and the country will give us tax exemption after we go back."
Liu Che's lips trembled, and he bit his back molars. He knew why these people dragged the Huns to prevent them from leaving, because the soldiers in Mayi City didn't know that there was an ambush outside the city. When the people let go, they are going to ruin the people in the city.These county magistrates here have explained to him just now, but he still wanted to ask, "Why?"
The baby face seemed a little puzzled why he asked that question, he thought for a while, and finally touched his head with the other hand, "Your Highness is really the first person to ask me this question, how can there be so many reasons... because behind us It’s home. When we quit, the home is gone.”
After all, he showed a simple and honest smile, "Everyone thinks so, I'm not the only one."
Liu Che's lips trembled. These people will be behind the scenes, but these "family members" never regard these soldiers as "family members"
These soldiers voted for Qiong Yao, but what they returned was worthless papaya!
Liu Che tossed and turned in the carriage for several days, all the feelings in his heart, he suddenly felt how arrogant he was in the past, and when he thought of his words in the past, he felt very childish, so he brewed all the way, and when he returned to Chang'an, he would post a letter .
He wanted to erect a monument for these unknown people, those who could not leave their names, and those who did not know their names, and Liu Che wanted to erect this monument on the Xianyang Plain, and share it among these people with the incense of the Liu family as a sacrifice for a day. One day.
The young prince believed that if the ancestors were not willing, they would share his incense. He felt that these people were worth everything.
Liu Qi stared at him for a moment and agreed.
The father and son sent people to quarry the huge stone and summoned craftsmen to discuss the inscription in person, carefully revised every word, and finally Liu Qi wrote the pen. The prime minister, Wei Wan, wanted to stop it when he heard that the monument was going to be built. He thought that His Majesty wanted to imitate the Emperor Qin. Usually, there are monuments to write about his achievements, but after hearing what he made, he was speechless for a while, then bowed deeply to the little prince, and said nothing more.
In the summer and May of the second year of the Houyuan Dynasty, Liu Qi rejected the vassal king's entry into the court, and sent all the princes and kings staying in the country back to the country.Liu Wu, the king of Liang, wrote to stay in court, but was rejected.Later, Liu Wu contracted a disease on the way home. After arriving in the feudal kingdom, he fell ill and died before the good doctor from Chang'an arrived.
Empress Dowager Dou lost her beloved son, and it was hard to accept it for a while, and then thinking of Liu Qi's actions before, she blamed all the reasons for the death of the youngest son on the eldest son.When Emperor Jingdi came to ask for his peace, Empress Dowager Dou either looked indifferent, or stabbed him with words, even if the eldest princess Liu Piao and her beloved niece Chen Jiao came to comfort him, she couldn't let go.
The relationship between mother and child fell into a trough for a while.
Emperor Jing was also seriously ill because of this.Although Empress Dowager Dou's love for her eldest son was not as good as that of her younger son, she was still kind.Having lost one child, she could never lose another.Although Empress Dowager Dou still had grievances in her heart, her attitude towards her eldest son finally softened, and she showed much concern for Liu Qi.
After he recovered from his illness, Emperor Jing decreed to divide Liang Guo equally, and all Liang Wang's inheritance was equally distributed to all Liang Wang's children, regardless of his concubines, and he also granted the title to his deceased younger brother to show his favor.I don't know if this action has appeased the Empress Dou Dou, but at least all people in the world must think that Liu Qi has a deep brotherly love for his younger brother, and that's enough.
In the autumn and October of the third year of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Jing issued several decrees, depriving the local vassals of their right to set up officials, all the army was nationalized, and the lieutenants were also appointed by the state. This move did not cause any fluctuations, like a stone falling into a pool.
First there was the governor to supervise the country, then there was the deprivation of the right to govern the country, and now it is a matter of depriving officials of their right to hold office?Does deprivation of the army count?
If you have any opinions, please refer to the emperor's uncle who just died and Liu An who hasn't figured out how to die yet.But people really can't bear to worry about it, and not long after, Liu An's handling was announced.
Liu Qi was relieved, except for Liu An who was sent to see Gu Huangling, none of Huainan Wang's family members were implicated in any way, they were just demoted to common people.For a sinner who committed the crime of rebellion and collaborating with the enemy, it can definitely be called magnanimity.
On the first day of the first month of winter, Liu Qi crowned his son Liu Che with a title.
This was the last public appearance of the emperor. At that time, he was seriously ill and there was no cure. The whole crowning process was barely completed with the support of Chuntuo.
Liu Che knelt in front of Liu Qi with tears in his eyes, and his father still put on the black cloth crown, leather bezel, and crown for him in sequence with trembling hands.This process was extremely long, and Emperor Jing could not stand still in the icy cold wind, but he specifically rejected the suggestion to crown the crown directly before.
"The coronation ceremony of each of my children is done by myself." The haggard emperor squeezed the prince's hand and said, "The prince is the last one to be crowned, so we can't wrong him too."
So Liu Che could only look up and watch his father's hands, with Chuntuo's help, press layers of hair crowns on his head little by little. Father's face, wanting to remember all this scene in his heart.In order to complete this simplistic but lengthy etiquette, Liu Qi drank the medicine of tiger and wolf.
The effect of the medicine is exhausted, and his father's lifespan is also...
The crown was the largest and heaviest, and Liu Qi was unable to lift it physically. Chuntuo had no choice but to cover the emperor's hands with his hands to help him set up the crown, and then followed Liu Qi's strength to place it on the crown. On Liu Che's head.
"Liu Che!" The emperor looked at the young son who was scrambling to tie a knot on his crown and smiled. He was already very tired, but the smile he raised at this time was extremely relaxed: "You have grown up and grown up. From now on, you have to be a good man and stand up to the sky of a big man."
He waved his hand, Prime Minister Wei Wan unfolded the bamboo scroll and said: "Crown Prince Che, I have bestowed you with good characters. From now on, I will order him to supervise state affairs."
Liu Che held his father's hand tightly. He felt as if the last bit of warmth in Liu Qi's hand would dissipate as soon as he let go. After hearing his father's order, Liu Che burst into tears, "Father!"
"Che'er," Liu Qi smiled slightly, "Father won't be able to see the rivers and mountains of my big man, but it doesn't matter, the money saved by my father will be handed over to you, and you can save a few years of struggle. When the time comes , go and see for my father, see this great river and mountain, see the people of the Li people, and see if they have really crossed the road for the better."
"I don't want this money! Father, you have to spend all the money you saved yourself!" Liu Che and Chun Tuo supported Liu Qi together.
At this moment, he saw Emperor Buhuo rushing towards him, Liu Che suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "Father!"
"Next, you still have to complete the etiquette. You have to meet your benefactor and elders." Liu Qi lay down on the step with the support, and the step was wrapped with silk, and outsiders could not see his posture.As soon as Liu Qi lay down, he didn't even have the strength to adjust his posture, he just looked at him with a smile in an awkward posture that was uncomfortable at first sight, "Go, Che'er, I don't want to see you regret. "
Liu Qi's words were weak, outsiders could not see the Crown Prince Jishou and bid farewell to his father for a long time, and could not hear Liu Qi's words, only felt the deep love between father and son and did not feel any difference.
When Liu Che stood up again, his expression had been sorted out and there was no sign of any abnormality. After watching his father leave, he just wanted to end the ceremony quickly, and even faster, he wanted to rush to his father's side.
In the third year of Houyuan, winter, on January 48nd, the day after the Crown Prince was crowned, Liu Qi, the sixth emperor of the Han Dynasty, collapsed in Weiyang Palace. He died at the age of [-] and was buried in Yangling.
Crown Prince Liu Che is the emperor.
The following year, in the first year of Emperor Wu's reign, Liu Che ordered the completed monument of the unknown hero to be erected in front of the Yangling where his father was buried, and he went to pay his respects in person.
The inscription was written by Emperor Jing, and everyone in Jinshi carved it on the stone tablet according to Emperor Jing's manuscript. Every word and every sentence seemed to Liu Che to be his father's breath.This was the last thing left to him by his father, and together with his father's teachings, it penetrated deeply into the psychology of the young emperor.
The long river is the pharynx, and the green hills are the evidence.
Do you say nameless?Rivers and mountains are named after them.
He has the best father and grandfather in the world. His grandfather assembled a loom bit by bit, and his father used it to carefully weave a piece of exquisite brocade for him, and then put it on Liu Che. .
Now the 16-year-old is striding forward, and he has built his armor on it and has been undefeated ever since.
In the first month of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty before Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed the year name to Jianyuan. In the same year, he called all virtuous and upright people from all over the country to enter Chang'an City, and ordered that anyone who wanted to join the army could directly enter Chang'an for self-recommendation without going through the counties and counties.
In the summer and April of that year, Liu Che issued three imperial edicts:
As long as there are old people in the family, in addition to being given rice and noodles, the men in the family will be exempted from hard labor so that they can concentrate on caring for the elderly.
For those who died in the army, the local government will distribute food to their sons every month to support them as adults.
Forgive the crime of being implicated in the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion and being a servant of the official family, and will be repatriated.
One month later, he ordered the removal of more than [-] palace guards, and opened the horse garden in Chang'an City to allow people to graze and collect firewood.
However, within half a year, with Empress Dowager Dou's delegation of authority and the support of Dou Ying, Wei Wan and other ministers, Liu Che quickly put the entire Han Dynasty's state affairs on the right track.The young emperor is ambitious, but he needs patience for his goal.
His luck was good, the other was not so lucky.
He is also the heir to the throne, but the Xiongnu prince Yu Dan was defeated by his uncle. His left power was devoured by the Zuo Guli tribe, and the king's tent power was divided into two factions, unable to defeat the enemy with all his strength.Under such circumstances, even if he was born in an orthodox manner, Yu Dan could not win the position of Grand Chanyu.
Some loyal courtiers advised him that under such circumstances, if he insisted on it, he would definitely suffer a loss, and he might as well shrink his power and occupy it for the time being.Yu Dan adopted his opinion, but just when he was about to retreat, the camp was suddenly attacked, and the person who came was an irrelevant person from the right.
Facing the stunned Yu Dan, the other party shrugged, saying that Your Highness, you don't mind, we just want to use your head to hand over a certificate of honor.
It dawned on Yu Dan that since ancient times, in the battle for the throne, it has only been life and death. Even if Yi Zhixie didn't make a move, someone would do it for him.
If you want to survive, you must find a way to survive.His gaze involuntarily turned to Da Yan's who was drinking tea calmly.
In May of the second year of Jianyuan, Prince Yu Shan of the Huns took the second princess of the Han Dynasty, Princess Nangong, and the youngest prince of the Huns, Jin Riyi, to the Han Dynasty.
Liu Che looked at his still beautiful sister with a bit of hesitation, but Nangong, who had changed back to Princess Han's costume, smiled and said to Liu Che, "I'm sorry! Cheer, my sister was too lazy to wait, so she came back by herself. .”
The young Han emperor was surprised when he heard this, and smiled after a while: "Sister, welcome back."
Thanks for your hard work.
In July of the second year of Jianyuan, Yu Yizhixie, the new successor of the Xiongnu, sent a letter of credence requesting the return of King Youxian and the Dayan clan of the Huns who had been kidnapped by the Han army.The big man replied that we only have Marquis She'an and Princess Nangong, and there is no Right Wise King Dayanshi.Yizhixie complained that Han was taken in in Shan, and sent troops to Daijun, Yanmen, Dingxiang, Shangjun and other places to invade and plunder.
The big man reacted very quickly, and immediately launched a retaliatory action, sending Li Guang, Li Danghu, Wei Qing, and Dou Wan to divide into four armies and order [-] cavalry from Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Shanggudai Commanderies to attack the Xiongnu in the north.
Li Guang and Li Danghu, the two father and son soldiers cooperated tacitly, and both rushed to the right of the Huns, while the two teams of Wei Qing and Dou Wan went directly northward, miraculously bypassing the grazing tribes all the way to Cage City.
Dou Wan had previously listened to Xia Anran's words that if he went to the grassland with Wei Qing, he had to trust his ability to guide the way. Therefore, the army followed Wei Qing's intuition and a few surrenders throughout the whole process, except for relying on the bird squad led by Dou Wan to find water sources. Guided by the Xiongnu soldiers, although he trusted...but Dou Wan was still stunned when he saw the ending.
Cage City is where all the sacrifices of the Xiongnu are held. Both the left and right tribes and the king's tent meet here every year. It can be said that it is one of the few fixed places on the northern grassland where everything is swimming.Therefore, the position of this place was well protected by the Huns.
They never expected that the first time they went deep into the grassland, they would touch the old nest in the old nest.
The [-] Han troops were all cavalry, and there was almost no reduction in personnel on the road. There was no need to implement any plan with such an organization.In addition to taking away the Huns who were guarding the place, Dou Wan also had people take away everything from the place where the Huns worshiped heaven.To Shang Weiqing's suspicious gaze, he replied very calmly, "This way the effect is better."
Effect?what effect?Wei Qing followed the trend, and couldn't help but nodded when he saw the broken look of the bound Huns when the Han people actually removed their holy statues.
It was so, it was this effect, he couldn't help but be in awe.
Just like when they left, when the Han army returned to the country, it was also the focus of attention, because after holding the cage city, although strictly speaking, the results of Wei Qing and Dou Wan's team were not as eye-catching as that of Li's father and son, but the significance was even greater.The Huns who surrendered to the Han army reported to Liu Che that they wanted to worship the gods, and Liu Xiaoche, who was not afraid of big things, thought it was interesting that a group of Huns worshiped the icons of the Huns on the territory of the Han people, so he specially allowed it .
The Huns on the grassland almost went crazy after hearing the news. They didn't even care about the land in Henan that had been dug away. They attacked the border one after another just thinking about taking back the statue.Since then, there has been a see-saw between the Han and the Hungarian for several years.
In the end, Yizhixie was constrained by the tribe's demand for salt, coupled with the sharp drop in the population of the grassland, it was really impossible to fight anymore and needed to recuperate, so he had to initiate a peace.
In this year, Liu Che got his eldest daughter. The old Liu family has a tradition of blooming first and then bearing fruit, so he was not at all unhappy that his first child was a daughter. He became a father for the first time and was seeking peace with the Huns At that time, Liu Che loved this daughter like a treasure, and even wanted to make her the eldest princess, but was stopped by the little princess's mother.
But even so, he also carefully selected a wealthy place and gave it to his daughter as a fief.
After waking up from the silly father mode, Liu Che thought over and over again. He quietly wrote a letter to his brother, asking if he wanted to adopt his daughter to him.
This stupid idea was sternly rejected by Xia Anran who was between Duoduo and Changchang. Not only did she refuse, Xia Anran also gave Liu Xiaozhu a long and lengthy ideological education on Liu Xiaozhu's behavior of not respecting the baby's mother at all. , to sum it up - brother, if you continue like this, others will call you a scumbag!
He didn't know that when Liu Che sat in the empty proclamation room and unfolded his brother's letter with the same tone as before, he smiled slightly.
People say that sweet dreams are easy to wake up, but Xia Anran has had this dream for more than 40 years. He has grown from a child to a middle-aged elderly man, and finally closed his eyes while holding the hand of his lover in the company of his adopted son. of.For a normal person, there are no regrets in this life.
Because when saying goodbye, he was quite free and easy.Seeing Dou Wan's middle-aged, but extraordinarily handsome face, Xia Anran smiled, "Have a good time."
"I know."
"I can wait for you, don't come too early."
"……it is good."
"Ah Wan."
"Hey."
Xia Anran pursed her lips, showing a shy smile, and whispered: "If there is an afterlife, I still want to meet you again."
Unfortunately, it is impossible.
He smiled at his lover who made the same promise, and closed his eyes.
