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

"Che'er, since the founding of the Han Dynasty by our great ancestor, several generations of kings have been adhering to rule by inaction and recuperating with the people. Now that the country is rich and the people are strong, the army is strong and the horses are strong, if I, a big man, still make peace with the Huns and offer women, money and food without any plan, wouldn't it be raising tigers? To cause trouble?"

Wang Tao said, stood up and walked around, "Befriending the Xiongnu and restraining the southern barbarians, this was an expedient national policy in the early Han Dynasty when the poor and the people were weak."

Turning to look at Liu Xiaozhu, "The imperial power has been passed down from generation to generation. In Che'er's hands, he must make great contributions and become a great leader! He should change his national policy, advocate literature and martial arts, and promote the prestige of our country!"

"But in the court hall, there are many peacemakers." Liu Xiaozhu was depressed and placed the tea cup heavily on the table, "Especially Ji An, who kept talking about the national mourning system, that peace and family are the priority, and that he can't afford to fight... "

"There is an emperor and a minister. Most of these former emperors and old ministers regard Huang Lao as their classics. They govern by doing nothing and they have become deeply immersed in their bones..." Wang Quan sighed deeply.

"It is still necessary to promote new people and elect talented people. Let Che'er issue an edict to seek talents! The so-called talent selection system does not stick to one type, and the Langguan system has its shortcomings. The imperial edict orders all counties, counties and princes to select talented people; such as If someone thinks he or she is talented, he or she can nominate someone. Anyone who has experience in literature, martial arts, farming, and craftsmanship can recommend someone."

"I understand, kid." Liu Xiaozhu responded, "Change the national policy... If those veterans object again, how should we deal with it?"

"We use new people to suppress the old ones. How can we, the great Han Dynasty, revive by clinging to the old rules? These vested interests are always afraid of new initiatives to mobilize their interests... Powerful and powerful families become more arrogant and overbearing, and rule by inaction is the root of disaster!" Wang Nan pondered.

"Che'er, give your father a royal title! The achievements of the previous dynasty should be clearly judged by the people of the world! From now on, it will be an era for Che'er to create hegemony and leave a name in history!"

Since recorded history, there were temples but no posthumous titles in the Shang Dynasty, and there were posthumous titles but no temples in the Zhou Dynasty.Qin Shihuang abolished both of these.

The posthumous title system was restored in the early Han Dynasty, but the temple title system was not restored.The posthumous title and temple title were restored by Emperor Jing Liu Qi.

After the death of Gao Emperor Liu Bang, Empress Lu and Hui Emperor Liu Ying only received the posthumous title of "Gao Emperor" and did not receive temple titles.As the founding emperor, no matter how you look at it, as long as the temple name system exists, Liu Bang's temple name of "Taizu" will be fine, but it doesn't.

Similarly, after Liu Ying's death, he only had the posthumous title "Emperor Xiaohui" and no temple title.

Not to mention the former Young Emperor and the Later Young Emperor.When Emperor Xiaowen ascended the throne, he also did not give Gao Emperor Liu Bang a temple title.

It was not until Liu Qi ascended the throne that the temple name system was restored, giving the Gao Emperor Liu Bang the temple name "Taizu" and the Xiaowen Emperor Liu Heng the temple name "Taizong".

According to tradition, building temples is the responsibility of "legitimate" descendants. By doing this, Liu Qi declared that he was Liu Bang's direct descendant.The purpose is very clear, which is to improve the legitimacy of the throne and suppress other Liu kings.

On the one hand, Xiaowen Emperor Liu Heng was the so-called leak-picking emperor.After the death of Emperor Hui Liu Ying, the legitimate son of Emperor Gao, Gonghou executed Lu.As a prince who is neither heir nor eldest son succeeds to the throne and replaces his heir with a concubine, he must declare his legitimacy;

Furthermore, the princes surnamed Liu were powerful and coveted the throne. Liu Xingju, Liu Chang, and Liu Bi rebelled and were suppressed.When Emperor Jing Liu Qi was spending money to cut vassals and seize titles, he still faced great resistance.

Therefore, Liu Qi established the temple titles of Emperor Gao and Emperor Xiaowen in order to highlight his orthodox status and suppress the bloodlines of the princes.

In the tenth month of the first year of Emperor Jing's reign, Emperor Jing issued an edict to the censor: "In ancient times, those who heard that their ancestors had meritorious service and their clans had virtues had their own reasons for making rituals and music. Those who heard the songs developed virtue; the dancers demonstrated meritorious deeds. Gaomiao Chu, plays the dance of Wude, Wenshi and the Five Elements. Xiaohui Temple Zao, plays the dance of Wenshi and the Five Elements. Emperor Xiaowen comes to the world, passes through Liang, and is no different from afar. Eliminate slander, remove corporal punishment, reward the elders, and accept loneliness , to educate all living beings. Reduce cravings and desires, do not accept sacrifices, and do not seek personal gain. Sinners do not beg, and do not punish the innocent. Remove punishment, bring out beauties, and restore the world of human beings. I am neither sensitive nor able to recognize. These are all ancient times. It was beyond the reach of Emperor Xiaowen, but Emperor Xiaowen personally did it. He was so virtuous that he benefited the world and benefited the world. He was unlucky and blessed. The image was as bright as the sun and moon, but the temple music was incompetent. I was very afraid. This is the temple of Emperor Xiaowen. The dance of showing virtue is to show the virtue of rest. Then the merits of the ancestors are written on bamboo and silk, and they are used for all generations, forever and ever. I highly appreciate it. It is played as a ceremonial tribute with the prime minister, the princes, the two thousand stones, and the ritual officials. "

Prime Minister Shen Tujia and others reported: "I would like to discuss this: There is no greater meritorious service in the world than Emperor Gao, and no greater virtue than Emperor Xiaowen. The temple of Emperor Gaohuang should be the temple of Taizu, the emperor, and the temple of Emperor Xiaowen should be the temple of Taizong, the emperor. It is appropriate for the emperor to do so. The temples of ancestors should be dedicated to the ancestors from generation to generation. The princes of the prefectures and states should each build a temple of Taizong for Emperor Xiaowen. The princes, kings, princes and envoys should attend the temple of the emperor and dedicate the temple of the ancestors every year. Please bring it with bamboo and silk to announce it to the world. "

By giving temple names to Gao Emperor Liu Bang and Xiaowen Emperor Liu Heng to highlight the inheritance of one ancestor, Liu Qi emphasized his own orthodoxy and the supremacy of imperial power.

Unfortunately, Emperor Jing Liu Qi did not make the posthumous title system and temple title system a national policy.It is more like temporary measures and emergency measures taken to stabilize the imperial power.At that time, Wang Quan was still Mrs. Wang who played the good daughter-in-law beside Empress Dowager Dou...

"During the reign of your father, he was pure, quiet, respectful, and frugal. He did little corvee and low taxes, and rested with the people. He promoted the rule of virtue, and on the basis of the abolition of corporal punishment by the previous emperor Xiaowen, he gave lighter punishment. He reduced the fiefdoms of the princes and returned them to the people. . Use gold to reduce vassals and strengthen the centralization of power. Externally, the Xiongnu were appeased and border troubles were reduced. Internally, people's livelihood was emphasized and farmland was equalized to each household. Only then did the Han Dynasty flourish!" Wang Ao looked at his son with emotion, "Later generations will regard the late emperor as your father. The prosperous period under the emperor’s rule is collectively known as the rule of Wen and Jing!”

Emperor Jing Liu Qi was criticized by future generations for being mean and unkind.Prince Wu was beaten to death on a chessboard, and he was stigmatized as a "master of chessboards", leading to the "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms"; he beheaded his mentor Chao Cuo, forced his own son and deposed prince Liu Rong to death, and forced him to kill the meritorious prince Zhou Yafu...

Because Wang Quan's wisdom and participation changed history, the stain of Emperor Jing Liu Qi was almost gone.Only the "Government of Wen and Jing" remains in the annals of history.Doesn't Liu Qi deserve a temple title?As the first emperor to unify the imperial power and successfully depose the queen and prince without causing turmoil in the court, Emperor Jing Liu Qi's imperial methods will be admired by future generations.

"Then what temple name should I give my father?" Liu Xiaozhu pondered, "The emperor's temple name is Taizu, and his grandfather is Taizong... How about giving his father a temple name - Gaozong?"

"Your father's beautiful posthumous title is Emperor Xiaojing. Jing: The meaning of justice is called Jing; the elder's thoughts are called Jing; the righteousness and the firmness are called Jing; the great ambition is called Jing; the realization of righteousness is called Jing; virtue can be Looking up is called Jing; when the law and justice are in harmony, it is called Jing; when the light shines on the surroundings, it is called Jing. The name of your father's temple, Che'er ordered the prime minister and the censor to make the imperial edict, and all the officials should discuss it!"

"To give your father the temple title is to comfort several generations of emperors. It is their merits that led to the resurgence of the Han Dynasty, so that the people can appreciate the emperor's magnanimous grace and support the Emperor of Han!"

"The second is that the new emperor is the reincarnation of the true god of the sun, commanding the world and the subjects to return to their hearts! People say: In the whole world, is it the land of the king... Can Cheer know that there are hundreds of mountains, endless seas, and the vastness of heaven and earth? The Xiongnu in the north and the Baiyue in the south. , and actually allowed me, a big man, to live in peace and quiet for decades..."

"What a disgrace to the Han Dynasty! The mother did not allow Che'er to be the king, so she gave her a woman and a new year's coin in exchange for a corner of peace and happiness! The country is rich and strong, the people are brave, and avenging the previous humiliation should be what generations of Han emperors have been looking forward to! Swallowing thousands of miles with anger, Full of martial virtue, expanding territory, and dominating the world, you will be a great leader!" These words made Liu Xiaozhu passionate and heroic, his sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes bursting with splendor, "My child swears that I will be a great man. Translated, it brings special customs, and its mighty virtue spreads all over the world!"

*
A few days later, Liu Che's edict for seeking talents was spread to all counties, counties and vassal states.

"If you have extraordinary merit, you must treat extraordinary people. Therefore, a horse may gallop to reach a thousand miles, and a scholar may be burdened by the burden of the world and gain fame. The horse that is driven by the husband, and the scholar who is relaxed, are just trying to control it. The officials and people in Lingzhou and counties are talented and capable, and they can serve as generals and ministers, and can lead the country to extinction."

Everyone is talking.Scholars who were well versed in literature explained to those who were ignorant of literature that the emperor was talented in literature, had great ambitions, and was thirsty for talents.

"Extraordinary achievements wait for extraordinary people to achieve them. A horse may run wildly and kick, but it can reach a thousand miles; a man may be ridiculed and discussed by the world, but he can achieve fame and achievements. For those who have extraordinary spirit and gallop, they do not follow the old track. Horses, as well as unruly and unruly people, it depends on how to control and control them. Let the chiefs of each county and county inspect the local officials and people, and recommend outstanding people and outstanding talents who can be generals, prime ministers, or envoys On a mission to a foreign country."

Throughout the empire, public opinion is boiling, and everyone is gearing up, thinking "I can do it!"

Inside and outside the court, all the ministers were stunned, saying that the new emperor was young and should not be underestimated. He would set off "two fires" when he ascended the throne:
The first fire was the temple title "Gaozong" for the late Emperor Xiaojing. "Emperor Xiaojing came to the world, was quiet, courteous and frugal. He spared corvee taxes, practiced moral governance, and lightened punishments. He kept the barbarians in peace externally and valued people's livelihood internally. Inherited from the late Emperor Xiaowen. Yizuo, jointly governing the prosperous times, is called the rule of Wenjing. The princes of the prefecture and state should each build a temple for Emperor Xiaojing. The princes, kings, and envoys will serve the emperor and dedicate their ancestors' temples every year. Together with the prime minister, the princes, and the two thousand Stones and official utensils are used for etiquette. Please use bamboo and silk to declare to the world."

The second fire is "Edict seeking talents".Any wild and unruly horse, a horse that kicks and bites, a horse that doesn't follow the beaten path, can be a general, a prime minister, or an envoy...

Will the fire of riding a horse burn my own head?I am a wealthy and powerful family, and you have recommended me as a meritorious prince. Before I can figure out the new emperor's preferences, my eyes are dazed, and I am about to be fucked by this little piggy? !

The ministers were discussing and anxious, and the third fire came!
Liu Che issued another "Xianliang Zhao".

"I heard that in the Tang and Yu years ago, people painted pictures but the people did not offend. The sun and the moon set candles, but they did not follow the lead. The Zhou Dynasty became prosperous, and punishments were not used. The virtues were as good as those of birds and beasts. The teachings were universal and the people were cautious overseas. Search the canals in the north, The Di and Qiang came to serve. The stars are not dead, the sun and the moon are not eclipsed, the mountains are not collapsed, and the rivers and valleys are not blocked. Linfeng is in the suburbs, and books are published in Heluo. Woohoo! How can you achieve this!"

"Today I am honored with the ancestral temple. I have been seeking for it for a long time, and I have been thinking about it all night. If I wade into the deep water, I don't know how to save it, but I am so great. How can I do it to show the great achievements and virtues of the late emperor! The top is Yao and Shun, and the bottom is three King, I am not sensitive enough to achieve far-reaching virtues. This is what I have heard so much about the great officials. The virtuous and outstanding kings in ancient and modern times have shown themselves in the affairs of kings in ancient and modern times. After receiving advice and brief questions, I wrote a book about it and wrote it in a chapter. I have personally read it."

So sincere!So humble!So magnanimous!This is asking for national policy from the virtuous!It ignited the desire of scholars all over the world to serve the country by serving the country!
In plain English, this virtuous edict means: In the days of Yao and Shun, prohibitions were established and the common people did not violate them.All people in the world obey the king.During the reigns of King Cheng and King Kang of Zhou, punishment was abandoned because no one committed a crime.Even the animals obey the king's teachings.The foreigners from all directions came to worship the king.There are no unlucky broom stars, no terrible solar or lunar eclipses, no earthquakes.Auspicious unicorns and phoenixes appear in the suburbs.Pictures written by God appeared in the Yellow River, and books written by God appeared in the Luo River.What kind of clear and clear politics is it to be able to sense that God is here!
I inherited the position passed down from my ancestors and was cautious.How can I demonstrate the virtues of my ancestors?How can we achieve the supreme rule of Yao and Shun?My abilities are limited.All virtuous people should know the connotation of ancient and modern kings and clear up my confusion.You have responded to this one by one and written it down. I want to read it myself.

"Meet the Queen Mother!" Taiwei Tian Fu entered the Jiaofang Hall and saluted Wang Quan, who was practicing leg-pressing exercises.

"Where is Ji An going?" Wang Quan returned to the desk and asked, and the palace servants brought tea.

She was worried that Ji An was upright and arrogant, spoke harshly and lacked courtesy, and sent an envoy to Vietnam to mediate the war, which would only add fuel to the fire.Therefore, I ordered my envoys and attendants to report promptly.

"Ji An has just arrived in Wuxian County and is not in a hurry." Tian Fan said, looking at his sister's face, and seeing Wang An drinking tea calmly, he asked tentatively, "Queen Mother, I wonder what the purpose of Ji An's stay in Wuxian County is?"

Wang Quan smiled: "What does he mean? He considers himself a loyal minister, but he doesn't do anything loyal to the emperor. The emperor points east, but he wants to go west."

"Ji An is cold and straightforward, and everyone dislikes him. I think he is somewhat similar to Lu Jia, maybe he can get things done?"

"Fu'er is saying that Lu Jia contradicted Emperor Gao? Yes, both Ji An and Lu Jia used harsh words and were good at arguing, but..." Wang Ao put down the tea cup, "Lu Jia was direct in his remonstrances and indulged in rhetoric. The emperor assigned He will try his best to do the things he wants to do; Ji An, whether he obeys or not, is shown on his face, and he refuses to listen to the emperor's words or obey his actions. This is not a remonstrance, but a stone in the pit!"

"The Queen Mother guessed it right! Ji An, he didn't go to Dongou or Minyue. He turned around from Wu County and went back..."

Wang Ao slapped the tea cup on the table, and just as he was about to get angry, he sneered, then picked up the tea and drank it slowly.

"The Queen Mother, Cheer issued two edicts seeking talents in succession, and there was a lot of discussion in the court. The civil and military forces of the entire dynasty have not yet been put to full use, and they are recruiting and recommending talents. There are three religions and nine schools, crazy horses and chaotic horses... Sister, please take care of him. !" Tian Fu said with a smile, "This has offended everyone in the civil and military dynasties!"

"Offended?" Wang Quan snorted coldly, "Ji An disobeys the holy order like this. Should the emperor run to Dongou by himself? Your envoys use their fingers like arms. If they can't move, they can only cut off their fingers!"

Tian Fu was so frightened that he kept silent.

Wang Quan glanced at him: "Someone is asking you to recommend an official! Tell me."

Tian Fu shook his head hurriedly, "I'm just listening to the opinions of the ministers, and I'm afraid that it will be detrimental to the emperor's governance..."

"Then tell the ministers that when promoting virtuous people, do not avoid relatives. The imperial court's selection of virtuous people is not limited to those outside the court. Anyone with virtuous relatives or friends can recommend them to the Ai family!"
