Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 127 Zhaoxuan Prosperous Age ([-])

two years later
After recuperating for two years, although the big man is still full of refugees, at least there are no new refugees. It's just that the more than 500 million refugees that have been produced in the past ten years may not be able to recuperate in a few years, at least a few years. It will take ten years to completely recuperate and stabilize the more than 500 million refugees in the Kanto region.

Emperor Liu Che reduced the land tax back to the 120th tax in Emperor Jing's time, reduced the poll tax back to [-] yuan, and only collected the poll tax of the autumn tax, no longer collected the poll tax of the summer tax, and canceled the war and peace for these years. All kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes set up for cultivating immortals stopped the construction of all palaces for cultivating immortals at the same time, and reduced the common people's corvee from March to January in the period of Emperor Jing, and at the same time the military service was also reduced to the period of Emperor Jing.

The policies for the people at the bottom all return to the period of Emperor Jing.

But the policy towards the powerful gentry and vassal states remains unchanged!

When he first came to the throne, Emperor Liu Che was just harvesting the money of the powerful and the princes crazily. Although the powerful princes cursed the emperor every day, the whole world was still stable.

After the War of Annihilation, Emperor Liu Che lost his mind after successive years of war victories. He began to cut money from the powerful princes and the people at the same time, frantically launched a military northern expedition, and wanted to use force to drive out the Huns at once. The days are gradually becoming more and more difficult, and it is countless times more difficult than when everything was waiting to be rejuvenated in the early Han Dynasty.

In the last two years of his life, he began to restore many of the policies of Emperor Jing's period, only harvesting money from powerful princes, and recuperating from the common people.

"Are you willing to give everything for me? Even if it's your own life? Even if it's buried with me?"

At this time, the emperor Liu Che was like a black dragon, with white hair all over his head, and asked hoarsely to Mrs. Gou Yi in his arms.

"Your Majesty..." Mrs. Gouyi was lying in Emperor Liu Che's arms like a kitten, and she was startled when she heard such a sentence: "Concubine, concubine..."

She didn't know how to answer.

Answering that she is willing to give her life, what if the emperor really wants her to give her life?If you don't want to answer, that's even worse, and you will "voluntarily" sacrifice your life directly.

"What? You don't want to give your life for me? You don't want to be buried with me? You don't have me in your heart at all!!!"

Emperor Liu Che felt that his time was short, so he wanted to take the young Mrs. Gouyi to be buried with him before he died, so that she would not become the second empress Lu to harm the big man.

Ever since the great Han took the power of Empress Lu, the emperors have been very concerned about this matter.

For example, in order to prevent the Empress Dowager Dou and the Queen Mother from monopolizing power, the first emperor Liu Qi held a crowning ceremony for the underage crown prince Liu Che in advance before his death.

Another example is Liu Che now, before he died, he wanted to take Mrs. Gou Yi to be buried with him.

"Your Majesty, this concubine still wants to be with you forever~~" Mrs. Gouyi cried, she didn't want to die, it should be said that as long as she was a normal person, she didn't want to die, especially if she was buried with someone else for no reason, her reaction was a big deal The normal reaction of most concubines, on the contrary, is Wei Zifu's kind of Zhenlie queen who is admirable because of the scarcity of examples.

"Someone, take her away!"

"Wang Hongnian! Take her away!"

Emperor Liu Che called the name of Huangmen servant Wang Hongnian.

Afterwards, Wang Hongnian, the servant of Huangmen, brought a group of eunuchs in, and ordered those eunuchs to forcibly drag Mrs. Guyi away from the emperor's arms.

"Your Majesty! The concubine doesn't want to die, the concubine is still young, and the concubine still wants to live! Woooooo—"

Mrs. Gouyi, who was being dragged, wailed loudly at Emperor Liu Che.

"Drag away!—"

Emperor Liu Che growled, he was actually reluctant to let this beauty die like this, but he was also afraid that if he was not careful, he would let Mrs. Gou Yi go with a soft heart. At that time, although he would be worthy of his concubine, he would be sorry for the whole man.

Immediately, Mrs. Gouyi was strangled to death by the eunuchs, and her body was buried in Maoling ahead of time, waiting for Emperor Liu Che to go to Maoling to accompany her after his death.

……

A few months later
"Huo Guang, Sang Hongyang, Jin Rixun, Shangguan Jie, you must assist Fuling well." The dying emperor Liu Che said to the four Gu Ming ministers.

A few days ago, he appointed these four people as Liu Fuling's auxiliary ministers, and in order to let no one dare to stop the four people in the process of assisting them, he even added officials and ranks to the four people before he was about to die.

Huo Guang was ordered by the Minister to concurrently serve as the Great General of the Grand Sima, who presided over the affairs of the Shangshutai in the inner court and was also the supreme military commander. He had military power and political power, and was the core of the four auxiliary ministers; ; And the Shaofu Shangguan Jie concurrently served as the General Zuo, who was one of the Nine Qings, and at the same time was the General Zuo; Jin Rixun, a doctor of Guanglu, was promoted to Guangluxun, one of the Nine Qings.

At the same time, in addition to these four assistant ministers, there is also Prime Minister Tian Qianqiu. After making these arrangements, the emperor thought that everything was in order, so he pushed back the four assistant ministers and stroked Liu Fuling's face next to the bed. The little head said lovingly: "Fu Ling, you must follow the advice of the four auxiliary ministers, especially Huo Guang, the great general of the Great Sima. He is absolutely loyal to the big man."

"Good~"

However, Liu Fuling, who was seven or eight years old, didn't understand these things, and couldn't tell whether these people were loyal or not, but he remembered the words to listen to Huo Guang, so he answered obediently by biting his fingers.

"Hahaha!"

Emperor Liu Che knew that his youngest son was too young to understand the worldly ways of adults, so it was enough to just remember to listen to Huo Guang, because he believed that Huo Guang would be absolutely loyal to the big man.

"Go out and play."

Emperor Liu Che asked Liu Fuling to go out to play by himself, and he wanted to be alone.

"Good~"

Liu Fuling is very well-behaved and obedient, and also very cute.

When Emperor Liu Che was the only one left in the bedroom, he stared at the empty bedroom in a daze.

When he was bored, he actually picked up those local newspapers that he didn't bother to read for many years.

These memorials have been silent for many years, because everyone knows later that the emperor is busy cultivating immortality and doesn't bother to read them, so they simply don't appear in the memorials, so these memorials are all from many years ago.

After looking at it casually, Emperor Liu Che couldn't help sighing. It turned out that the world began to decay more than ten years ago, and he still suffered for so long under such circumstances.

But when I saw a report on the war of destroying the DPRK, I suddenly felt a little confused.

"There was a Liaodong warrior who first climbed the wall of the King's Dangerous City and beheaded hundreds of people?"

"There is such a brave general?"

"Back then I was busy fighting the Western Regions and cultivating immortals. I didn't see this battle report. I really missed a capable general."

Although he lost a capable general, Liu Che didn't care anymore. The big man had a lot of capable generals. Unless he reached the level of Wei Qinghuo Qubing, it would be difficult to attract his attention.

After reading the report on the war report on the destruction of the dynasty, he saw another report, which was written by the left general Xun Zhi many years ago before committing suicide.

"General Wang Changzhi brought a young girl with the army in the barracks?"

"This Wang You'an is really... tsk tsk, he didn't forget to have intercourse during the war. If it was before, I would definitely beat him up, but it's been so long, let's forget it."

But after reading many memorials, especially those about Liaodong, he suddenly found something was wrong.

"I remember that when Wang Changzhi was still a cavalry general, someone also wrote a letter saying that Wang Changzhi took a young girl with the army to go out with the army... But the two incidents were more than ten years apart, shouldn't it be the same person? A young girl How could it be possible to still be a girl after more than ten years?"

"Isn't there really immortality in this world?"

Emperor Liu Che laughed at himself, if it was before, he might have investigated this matter, but after nearly ten years of tossing and still not being able to live forever, he has completely disbelieved in the matter of immortality.

Looking at the report, Emperor Liu Che suddenly felt haggard, so he put down the bamboo slips, lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

After he closed his eyes and rested, the past of his life replayed in his mind like a horse watching flowers.

From the golden house, to meeting Wei Zifu for the first time, to fighting back against the Xiongnu, to opening up territories, to cultivating immortals and longevity, to...

Then, the world went dark.

The emperor who ruled the world for 54 years passed away forever.
