Start having a baby!I dressed as the mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty

Tiaohou Zhou Yafu, a brave man who lived a life of bravery, unexpectedly died of illness suddenly after three days of diarrhea because he was not acclimated to the climate when he first arrived in Yuzhang County! Sure enough - a good man can't stand three shits!

When the news reached the capital, everyone sighed with regret.

Although he had not achieved any merit, the emperor still commended Zhou Yafu and gave him Shangfang Mingqi; his eldest son Zhou Yang inherited the title. By convention, the title is inherited by descendants and has to be downgraded by three levels. Tiaohou Mansion had 8,000 households in the food town, which became 4,000 households.

In order to praise the spirit of protecting the country, "the general died in the country and returned his body wrapped in horse leather", she specially gave him a jade mat and a jade mask, and ordered the eunuchs in charge of rituals to carry the imperial edict and the gifts given by the emperor. She accompanied the new Hou Zhou Yang to Yuzhang County to welcome him. Return to Zhou Yafu's coffin.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yang's behavior was unprovoked, and he even stopped in the Qin Tower and Chu Pavilion on the way, where he became jealous and was beaten half to death by a rough man. The Superintendent of Ceremonies prepared a memorial for the eunuch to report, but Zhou Yang cried and begged to no avail. He was afraid that the court would pursue him for the crime of having sexual intercourse during the mourning period, so he committed suicide out of fear of the crime!
The emperor was furious when he heard the news and deprived Zhou Yang of his title. Later, he pitied Zhou Yafu's body for being cold in a foreign land, and gave Zhou Yafu's younger brother Zhou Jian the title of Xijue, and the title of Marquis of Quping. He went to welcome Zhou Yafu and his son's coffins back to his ancestor's tomb for burial.

Zhou Jian was the concubine of Zhou Bo. He inherited the discounted title, but had an empty title, no title, no food, no salary.

Since then, the Zhou family has declined. Poor father and son Zhou Bo and Zhou Yafu, they were brave and brave throughout their lives, had outstanding military exploits, were awarded the title of marquis and prime minister, they were glorious during their lifetime, but lonely after their death, and they had no benefit to future generations...

The royal family was relieved of its worries.

Zhou Bo was originally a mourner in Pei County. After the great ancestor Liu Bang started his army, he followed him around and made many military exploits. After the founding of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang's "meritors", or generals who were related to the great ancestor, were either transferred to administrative positions, or were "honourably" deprived of military power (and even the right to life). Zhou Bo, as an honest and hard-working "gong dog", also followed Emperor Gao to quell the rebellion of princes and kings with different surnames. Emperor Gaozu did not treat him badly. He gave fiefs to more than 8,000 households and granted him the title of Marquis Jiang.

The last time Lu Wan, king of Ping Yan, rebelled, Gaozu died before Zhou Bo returned to the throne. He became the only member of the Han family's entrepreneurial team and had the highest prestige in the army, so he was appointed Taiwei - the highest military officer of the Han Dynasty - by Emperor Hui Liu Ying.

Since the death of the eldest brother Emperor Gao, the old sister-in-law Empress Lu has been in control of the government. She has also promoted her natal family to a core position and almost controlled the country of Han Dynasty.

Lu Lu served as the general of the Han Dynasty as King Zhao, and Lu Chan served as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty as King Lu, controlling the power of the Han Dynasty. Zhou Bo was a Taiwei and was not allowed to enter the gate of the military camp. Chen Ping is the prime minister and cannot handle government affairs.

Dare to touch Gonghou Group’s cake! Zhou Bo and Chen Ping planned to kill Empress Lu and destroy all Lu. They decided to wipe out the Lu family and reorganize the Han Dynasty. The reason was the "White Horse Alliance" that Liu Bang and his brothers had shed blood on - "If you are not the Liu family, you will not be a king, and if you are not a military hero, you will not be a noble. If we fail to agree, the whole world will fight together."

Zhou Bo, as the first person to talk about the overthrow of Lu's great cause, made friends with the king of Qi and other clans externally, and the ministers of the imperial court internally. He wiped out all the remnants of the Lu family and made the final decision to welcome Liu Heng, the acting king, as the emperor. In order to eliminate hidden dangers for the eldest nephew of the Liu family, they also thoughtfully killed the puppet emperor who was supported by the Lu family, leaving Emperor Hui Liu Ying to be the heir apparent.

To be fair, their actions safeguarded the Liu family's regime, but it has already touched the emperor's bottom line - it is up to you to choose the emperor, and it is up to you to kill the deposed emperor. Today you welcome me into the court and kill the clan members for me. How do you know that tomorrow you will not welcome others into the court and kill me before establishing a new king?
Liu Heng, the acting king, used the four lives of Queen Lu and her son to submit a certificate of surrender to the military merit group and ascended to the throne. What Zhou Bo and Chen Ping didn't expect was that Liu Heng was not a weak chicken in their eyes, left to their mercy.

Liu Heng, the emperor who picked up leaks, pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger, and made Chen Ping and Zhou Bo the prime ministers of the left and right, and generously rewarded them with money and land. In less than two years, Chen Ping died first due to illness.

Every time he went to court, Emperor Wen would salute Zhou Bo with his eyes and watch his respected Uncle Zhou leave with a smile. In order to show their closeness, he also married his daughter, Princess Jiangyi, to Zhou Bo's eldest son Zhou Shengzhi.

Emperor Wen only dared to sit on half of his throne. The Jungong Group hopes that he can be a good baby; Prince Liu's eyes are "Brother, you can't do it! Why don't you let me try". And he shoulders the important task of saving his life, protecting his face, and restoring his ancestral business.

The oppressive feeling of the military group and their ability to move the dragon throne made Emperor Wen frightened. The coveting hearts of the princes and kings made Emperor Wen tremble with fear.

Fortunately, Jia Yi, a talented man from Luoyang, came up with the idea of ​​"the princes will join the country" and "the princes will build the country with less effort", which lit up the light in Emperor Wen's heart and shone on the land of Chang'an.

Although Zhou Bo teamed up with other meritorious princes to force Emperor Wen to exile Jia Yi, who showed his talent, to Changsha, it also made Emperor Wen see clearly: these old uncles gathered in Chang'an, visited the house, got married, and used their power to suppress the negative energy of the imperial power. It was simply overwhelming.

This group of old revolutionary comrades who have become famous and prominent are gathered together in the capital, and ordinary people cannot control them. They don't have to worry about food or clothing, and they have plenty of time, freedom, capital and qualifications to drink, chat and connect with each other. Based on the friendship between old comrades-in-arms, an extremely complex and strong in-law relationship was built.

Is there any trouble in the empire? My people are everywhere. With a greeting, they are immediately in place. They cooperate with each other tacitly and defeat the enemy with one move. They have concentrated information, concentrated resources, concentrated interests, and concentrated relationships. You have me, and I have you. I am not just me, and you are not just you. Our unity is strength! After overthrowing Zhu Lu, clearing the imperial court, and promoting Liu Heng, he dared to make waves? Take advantage!
"The princes will return to the country" and "the princes will build the country with less effort". This is a painless abortion for the Gonghou Group and the Liu family kings!

Therefore, Emperor Wen issued an edict: "I have heard that in ancient times, when the princes established their country, each of them guarded his territory and paid tribute at the right time. The people did not work hard and were happy, which is against morality. Nowadays, most of the princes live in Chang'an, and the cities are far away, and the officials are dead. It will be a pain to lose, and the princes will have no way to teach their people." Therefore, he ordered the princes of the country to send the prince to those who were stopped by the officials and edicts.

This reason is very high-sounding. Dear uncles: It is an old rule left by our ancestors to reward everyone with vassal states. The purpose of establishing vassal states is to allow everyone to perform their duties, provide safety to their people, and jointly build a harmonious society. Now everyone is staying at the Chang'an headquarters, which is too far away from your respective branches. The transportation of materials wastes people and money, and it is not convenient to educate your own people. So, you all should go back to your homes and don’t crowd around here to join in the fun. If it is true that you cannot leave because of your temporary position at the headquarters, you should send your successor to manage your own territory.

From the perspective of old rules and job responsibilities, it seems justifiable. Moreover, this arrangement does not seem to harm the actual interests of the princes, but encourages them to go back and manage their own three-acre land. Typically requests are made under the banner of "for your own good".

I'm going to pull out all the stops and cut off your line of communication. Let's see how you continue to collude with each other! If you all go back to your hometown, can you still sit at the same table and drink tea every day? Can you still go horse riding together every three days? Can you still chat anytime and anywhere? As long as you can't hug each other, no matter how big the tiger is, it is still a paper tiger. It will break if you poke it, and each one will break through.

Even if the foundation of your relationship is that you will be good brothers for life! I don’t believe you can make a big splash just by remembering each other! In this era, physical distance increases the difficulty of information exchange and resource organization, and is inherently a huge obstacle to all kinds of big moves. One is that information is not flowing smoothly, and the other is that distant water cannot put out a nearby fire.

Emperor Wen secretly gave Jia Yi a big thumbs up!

Helplessly, the heroes turned a deaf ear and hung a thousand-jin pendant from their butts - not moving at all.

Emperor Wen then said to Zhou Bo: "The day before yesterday, I ordered the princes to return to their feudal kingdoms, but many people didn't like me. You are my elder and my dear uncle Zhou. How about you take me with you?" Big one!"

Only a year after Zhou Bo was driven back to the fiefdom, the situation reversed. Ji Bu, the governor of Hedong County, inspected Jiang County as usual. Zhou Bo wore armor all over his body and ordered his family servants to guard him with weapons for fear of being killed.

Because when he was in Chang'an, he was surrounded by his own people and information was flowing smoothly, so Zhou Bo was confident! Now, with information lagging behind and being blocked, he had no idea what Emperor Wen's strength was or what he was thinking. Was it a coincidence that Ji Bu came to his fiefdom, or was he ordered to kill him by the emperor? The shadow of a cup bow and a snake made Ji Bu speechless.

He was always at war with himself, and was finally sued to the emperor for "intending to rebel." Emperor Wen ordered people to arrest Zhou Bo and throw him into the prison of Tingwei Mansion. Later, Zhou Bo bribed his uncle Bo Zhao to ask Empress Dowager Bo to come to the rescue, and also asked his daughter-in-law Princess Jiangyi to intercede, and he was able to escape safely.

However, Zhou Bo's eldest son, Zhou Shengzhi, was also a heartless person with a bad temper. As a consort, he disrespected the royal family and often domestically abused Princess Jiangyi. Zhou Bo inherited the title after his death. With dissatisfaction with the emperor, he secretly contacted the Huns, but was discovered by his servants. Zhou Shengzhi, who committed murder and silenced his wife, was found guilty of indiscriminate killing. In addition, the emperor's daughter was resented for domestic violence. After being deprived of her title and demoted to a commoner, she committed suicide out of fear of the crime.

Emperor Wen, in recognition of Zhou Bo's military exploits in the founding of the Han Dynasty, ordered that the best of Zhou Bo's sons be selected to inherit the title. Everyone unanimously recommended Zhou Yafu, so Zhou Yafu inherited his father's title.

When the Xiongnu invaded the border, Emperor Wen visited the troops stationed in Bashang, Jimen and Xiliuying. Both Bashang and Thorny Gate greeted him respectfully, giving the emperor the full power of the military parade.

And Zhou Yafu's Xiliu Camp was tough on the emperor, saying "the general has orders, the army only obeys the general's orders, not the emperor's edicts", and shuts out the emperor; "the general has orders: no carriages and horses are allowed in the military camp" Galloping" forced the emperor to get off the dragon chariot and walk.

When he arrived in front of the military tent, Zhou Yafu, dressed in military uniform, came out to greet him. He held a weapon and bowed his hands to Emperor Wen: "If you don't bow to the ministers, please allow me to meet you in the military salute."

Although Emperor Wen had a thorn in his heart, he still pretended that he was tolerant and loved talents, and praised Zhou Yafu mercilessly.

Zhou Yafu was strict in running the army, and his willows were thin and majestic. He was famous all over the world for his generosity and praise. And he did not live up to Emperor Wen's praise. He made outstanding achievements in quelling the rebellion of Wu. He turned the empty title he inherited into a marquis with a settlement of 8,000 households.

Relying on his military exploits, Zhou Yafu rose through the ranks and served successively as Taiwei and Prime Minister. During the reign of Emperor Jing, he gained power and restored the glory of his father Zhou Bo.

Zhou Yafu, who was more powerful than Emperor Wen, would naturally not let go of Liu Qi, who was more powerful than Emperor Jing.

scene one:

Liu Qi: Changling Tianfu donated 250,000 yuan to help the imperial army purchase horses and weapons to fight against the Huns. I want to make you a marquis as a reward!

Zhou Yafu: The great ancestor taught us that one cannot become a nobleman without military merit. Your Majesty must not violate the ancestral precepts! Just give me some reward.

Scene two:
Liu Qi: I deposed Prince Li Liu Rong and demoted him to King Linjiang!
Zhou Yafu: Your Majesty, no! I want to advance and retreat with the Taohou Tao Qing and the Wei Qihou Dou Ying, and I will resign due to illness...

Liu Qi: I'll be your prime minister! It just so happened that Tao Qing resigned and became vacated!

Zhou Yafu: This, this... okay!
Liu Qi secretly smiled and finally took away the military power from Zhou Sicheng!

Tao Qing: Zhou Yafu betrayed his trust and won the position alone, which makes me mad!

Dou Ying: If it weren’t for me, the Crown Prince and Tutor, who must have a stand, who would have any grudge against Xiang Xiang? The first of all officials, the phase I have longed for! ...Why is the saliva flowing out? Why did the tears of jealousy flow out? Ouch! Go to Zhongnan Mountain to relieve your disappointment...

Scene three:
Liu Qi: King of the Huns Wei Xulu and five others, surrender to my great Han! In order to show prestige to the world, set an example, and let more Huns come to surrender, I will make Xu Lu and the others marquis! What do you think, Prime Minister?

Zhou Yafu: I object! These five people turned their backs on their Lord and asked for glory. If Your Majesty were pleased to confer the title of Marquis, wouldn't it encourage the people of the world to turn their backs on their Lord and ask for glory?

Liu Qi: What the Prime Minister said is wrong! These five people will be granted the title of Marquis, my decision has been made!

After that, there were earthquakes such as Shangyong County and many other disasters. As the prime minister, Zhou Yafu failed to provide disaster relief, and a solar eclipse appeared in the sky. Liu Qi dismissed the prime minister as a warning.

In the struggle between imperial power and prime minister power, Liu Qi's use of imperial power to suppress prime minister power was a small victory. However, although this cold-blooded and iron-fisted emperor won, he was ultimately hampered by the military conglomerate, making everything difficult and troublesome.

Zhou Yafu, who had resigned as prime minister, was still a thorn in Liu Qi's side. Zhou Bo and his son's contempt for imperial power, disrespect for the emperor, and their prestige in the military all left Liu Qi with lingering fears. He was worried that his little pig would be difficult to subdue, and that Zhou Yafu would massacre the heirs of Emperor Hui like his father Zhou Bo did, causing chaos in the court.

When he was critically ill, Emperor Jing Liu Qi asked his lonely queen Wang Nuan to leave a message to kill Zhou Yafu to avoid future troubles. This is also the reason why Wang Quan was able to survive Liu Qi's sword.

The empress dowager Wang Ao protects her son's throne and manipulates Zhou Yafu and the military group; Liu Xiaozhu, who has a stable throne, re-appoints Dou Ying, but Dou Ying is restrained by Tian Fu, who is greedy for power; Dou Ying holds his secret decree and waits for an opportunity to get rid of the powerful Wang Ao siblings . This strange and balanced triangle is a closed loop carefully designed by Emperor Jing Liu Qi. With Liu Xiaozhu as the center, everyone must make sacrifices for the imperial power to keep the Liu family stable.

Wang Quan, who knew Liu Qi's temper well, was the most important link in this triangle. By winning over Dou Ying and destroying Emperor Jing's secret decree, she protected herself before Emperor Jing's death.

Perhaps she was greedy for power. She just wanted to protect her son's steady progress, make the Han territory boundless, and let the Han nation stand at its peak from now on. From generation to generation, there would be no more disasters and no more weakness... But she never thought about replacing Liu Xiaozhu. All she has is the son she loves most in her life!

Wang Quan had no ill intentions toward the Zhou family at first. He once asked Dou Ying to take Zhou Yafu to see Yao Weng in an attempt to change Zhou Yafu's fate. Probably because of the contempt for imperial power inherent in the Zhou family, Zhou Yafu refused to be used by the new emperor, and repeatedly touched the royal bottom line. It was her last resort to get rid of the Zhou family skillfully and decently.

Zhou Bo and Zhou Yafu, father and son, were responsible for the merit of serving the dragon and the honor of saving the country. They held the power of auxiliary government and occupied the position of prime minister, but in terms of identity and status, they were always subordinate to the imperial power! It's like the difference between shoes and hats. If you take over the throne, can you still expect the royal family to be in harmony with you and your subjects?

Shoes, no matter how you embroider them with beads or gold, pretend to be noble, they are ultimately meant to be worn and stepped on, and cannot be compared with a hat. If you dare to overstep your bounds and try to put others on your head, won't you be asking for your own death? !
