The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 170 Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty collapsed!

"I have seen His Royal Highness!"

Seeing Prince Liu Zhi entering the palace, they quickly stood up and saluted.

At the same time, he naturally saw the divine bird in front of Liu Zheng, and excitement suddenly appeared on his face. He quickly saluted again and said, "I have seen the divine bird!"

Unexpectedly, I would be able to see the divine bird here today!
Twenty years have passed since the news that the divine bird fell into a deep sleep. During these 20 years, the divine bird seemed to have disappeared from the world. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the divine bird appeared again!

I'm afraid, this is also the first time in the past 20 years that the Divine Bird has become a simple person!

They were a little excited.

"Free gift!"

Prince Liu Zhi spoke in a gentle tone, and then looked at the divine bird on the side, "Your Highness, the divine bird, go this way."

Prince Liu Zheng personally led the way for Bai Zhi, and then came to the couch inside before sitting down.

"You can continue to deal with government affairs, don't worry about me!"

Bai Zhi said this to Liu Ju who was looking at him respectfully.

"This... is also good!"

Prince Liu Zheng immediately nodded respectfully, and then began to sit down and handle government affairs.

Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty went to Mount Tai to enshrine himself. Although many matters in the court were handled by ministers, the most important thing was that the prince Liu Zhi handled it on his behalf.

After some time, Prince Liu Zheng seemed to be becoming more and more skillful in handling government affairs, and his views on some facts became more comprehensive, which made the ministers in the DPRK very satisfied with the prince.

Bai Zhi sat quietly in the palace, and then observed the prince Liu Zhi. Time passed and it was time to light the lamp.

"Your Highness, please retire!"

As the last prince's official in the palace left, Prince Liu Zhicai dragged his tired body and looked at the divine bird inside.

"Please ask His Majesty the Divine Bird to atone for his sins. There are too many things that need to be dealt with, so the Divine Bird has been kept waiting for a long time!"

"It's okay!"

Bai Zhi shook his head, then looked at Liu Zhi and said, "After all, you are the crown prince and the emperor is not in Chang'an. It is normal for you to work harder!"

"I don't dare, it's just to share my father's worries!"

"I wonder what's next for His Majesty the Divine Bird..."

Prince Liu Zhi looked at the divine bird and asked.

"Don't worry about me, just go and do your business!"

After an afternoon of inspection, Bai Zhi was still very satisfied with the prince Liu Zhi at this time. After all, the records of the prince Liu Zhi in the history books were positive.

As for the so-called rebellion, it was also framed.

"This……"

Hearing the words of the divine bird, Prince Liu Zheng hesitated.

But in the end it slowly receded.

After staying in the palace for a moment, Bai Zhi's figure flashed and disappeared into the palace.

When he appeared again, he was already outside Chang'an City.

The changes brought about in 20 years are undoubtedly huge. Chang'an City seemed to be even more majestic than 20 years ago.

Moreover, a large number of sweet potatoes are also grown in the fields outside the city.

Today's man, sweet potatoes have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and have become the food that ordinary people rely on. Correspondingly, many fewer people are starving to death in the world.

……

The news of the divine bird's awakening was quickly sent to the shores of Mount Tai. Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, who was enshrining Zen in Mount Tai, heard the news and immediately returned to Chang'an.

Within a month, the Emperor of Han returned to Chang'an City, along with Prime Minister Zhang Qian.

"The divine bird finally wakes up!"

The Divine Bird Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che had just arrived in Chang'an, and he quickly came to the Divine Bird Palace.

In the Divine Bird Hall, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che sat on the cushion, and then looked at the divine bird in front of him.

"I didn't expect that His Majesty is also old!"

Bai Zhi looked at the white hair on the temples of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and couldn't help but sigh.

"yes……"

Hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che had a look of sigh on his face, and then looked at Bai Zhi with bright eyes.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi didn't know what Han Wu Emperor Liu Che was thinking, so he took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will naturally not forget what I promised you."

"Besides, Your Majesty hasn't run out of oil yet, so why should you be anxious?"

After hearing the words of the divine bird, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che suddenly had a smile on his face, but the smile gradually faded.

How could he not understand what the divine bird said, but who knew how long he would live?

I am nearly fifty this year, and my father died at this age.

However, since the divine bird said so, he would wait until his life is approaching in the future to help him rejuvenate.

After hearing the words of the divine bird, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che suddenly felt relieved.

Previously, he saw the divine bird sleeping for 20 years and never woke up. This made him very anxious, fearing that the divine bird's sleep would last for a hundred years.

A hundred years later, when the divine bird wakes up, he will no longer exist.

Therefore, he also began to pursue the path to immortality.

Thinking about it now, I realized that I was too worried.

After getting the answer he wanted, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che immediately showed a smile on his face, and then looked at Bai Zhi, "I wonder what the divine bird will gain from sleeping this time?"

"There's no harvest to speak of, it can only be regarded as normal growth!"

Bai Zhi looked outside the Divine Bird Palace and replied.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che naturally didn't know why the divine bird was sleeping. He just asked casually.

……

The news that the divine bird had awakened again spread quickly throughout Chang'an City. Of course, the news of the divine bird's awakening appeared a month ago, but no one believed it at the time.

And now, even the Emperor of the Han Dynasty hurried back from Mount Tai, presumably the sacred bird has really awakened.

But what does the awakening of the divine bird matter to ordinary people?

Therefore, ordinary people in the city just exclaimed and became the subject of conversation after dinner, and then forgot about it and went about their busy lives for another day.

However, some dignitaries are very concerned about the awakening of the sacred bird. In other words, like Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, they are always looking forward to the awakening of the sacred bird.

At this time, the divine bird woke up, which naturally made them happy.

Of course, what they wanted in their hearts was naturally the same as what Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, wanted.

But for no reason, why did the divine bird grant them youth?

Bowanghou House.

Zhang Qian was sitting in the study, and on the side, there was a divine bird standing.

"I have finished what the divine bird told me..."

Zhang Qian was also nearly 50 years old at this time, and his hair was mixed with white hair, making him look even older.

At this time, he was naturally talking about sweet potatoes.

"It is precisely because of the divine bird that the Han people no longer have to worry about hunger. People all over the world also know that sweet potatoes are given by the divine bird, so they respect the divine bird even more!"

"Just spread it to the world!"

Bai Zhi nodded, and then with nothing to say, Bai Zhi returned to the Divine Bird Palace.

As time passed, with the return of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, there were more and more alchemists in the entire Chang'an City, because the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che asked for immortality.

After all, if something is good above, it will be prosperous below. If the emperor pursues immortality, it is natural that scholars from all over the world will gather in Chang'an.But they didn't know that at this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was not worried about lifespan, and he didn't attach much importance to immortality.

However, they did not drive away the alchemists in Chang'an City.

Perhaps in the eyes of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the divine bird only promised to rejuvenate him, but did not really make him live forever, so he had expectations.

However, the gathering of warriors from all over the world in Chang'an brought all kinds of chaos.

At the same time, some dignitaries in the city also believed in the alchemists' words, burned elixirs in their mansions to pay tribute, and took so-called elixirs.

Gradually, it spread to the palace, especially in the harem. Many concubines believed in the so-called witchcraft by alchemists, cursed others, and competed with each other for favor.

……

In 100 BC, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty ordered to go south to pacify Dongou and other countries and make them Han territory. However, before the troops arrived, Dongou and other countries surrendered.

Therefore, the Han army immediately went southwest to conquer the Yelang Kingdom.

In 99 BC, the Yelang Kingdom was destroyed.

In 90 BC, the Han Dynasty conquered the Korean Peninsula and destroyed the Qizi Dynasty.

In the same year, he conquered the Western Regions and went to war with the Kingdom of Dawan. He destroyed Dawan and obtained a horse with sweat and blood.

In 88 BC, the divine bird restored the Han emperor to his thirties.At the same time, the Prime Minister Zhang Qian returned to his youth and returned to his thirties.

The power of the Han Dynasty reached its peak, the whole world was convinced, and all the nations came to court!

In the same year, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che followed the advice of Prime Minister Zhang Qian and ordered the whole country to stop fighting and implement a strategy of rest and recuperation.Let the scholars from all over the world gather in Chang'an City and select virtuous people as officials.

Another ten years later, the Han Dynasty's national power was somewhat restored. After decades of war, the Han Dynasty's national power was severely depleted. Although it had the merits of Sweet Potato, the people of the world were already resentful.

After ten years of recuperation, the world will once again be in a state of prosperity.

Everyone in the world calls this "the prosperous age of the two emperors"!
The so-called second emperor means that the emperor of the Han Dynasty lived his second life.

At the same time, the Dian Kingdom in the south was disrespectful to the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty sent an envoy to reprimand him. The envoy said:

"The heavenly soldiers of the Han Dynasty are coming, don't move, otherwise the country will be destroyed!"

The nobles of the Dian Kingdom were frightened and immediately killed the king of the Dian Kingdom, established a new king, and begged the man for forgiveness.

……

……

Time passes slowly, and 50 years pass again.

In 38 BC, Prince Liu passed away, marking the first 60 years of a prince in the world!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che felt sad and personally handled the affairs of the prince Liu Ju. He named the prince Liu Ju the Chongde Emperor and was buried beside Maoling.

In 37 BC, the year after the death of Prince Liu Ju, Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty died and was buried in Maoling.

Before the emperor's death, Prime Minister Zhang Qian was summoned to the palace and presented to him the "Chart of Zhou Gong's Succession as the Princes of the Dynasty".

Because the emperor's eldest grandson died young, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che made his great-grandson Liu Xun the new emperor.

At the same time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che also met the sacred bird for the last time.

In the palace, in a magnificent palace, a large number of officials stood quietly in the outer hall of the palace. Then they saw a holy light falling from the sky, and then the figure of a divine bird appeared in the palace.

Bai Zhi glanced at the concubines in the palace who were crying and looking at the officials with sad expressions on their faces. Bai Zhi immediately walked into the palace.

On the bed, an old man was lying weakly on the bed. In front of the bed, there was a waiter standing quietly, paying attention to the state of Emperor Liu Che.

There was silence in the entire palace, and you could hear a needle drop.

This silence seemed a little strange.

"Sacred Bird, you...are finally here..."

As if he noticed Bai Zhi's arrival, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che immediately turned to look at Bai Zhi.

I saw that his face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were sunken, and he was already in his twilight years.

"I am coming!"

Bai Zhi looked at the face of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but felt very calm in his heart.

After seeing too much about birth, old age, illness and death, naturally you no longer care.

Seeing the divine bird coming in, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che suddenly showed a faint smile.

At the same time, he sighed: "The immortality that the world pursues is nothing more than this!"

"In the past, the First Emperor also pursued immortality. But now, I am living my second life, and the long years have passed, but I feel particularly empty in my heart."

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, had his eyes blank, as if he was recalling the memories of the past, "My former ministers and my queen have also disappeared in the long hours..."

Seeing Emperor Liu Che's sighing eyes, Bai Zhi immediately asked, "What does the emperor think of this immortality?"

"How about immortality? Haha..."

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, suddenly laughed. His laughter was full of vicissitudes of life and indifference, and then he looked at the divine bird. His cloudy eyes seemed to want to see through the divine bird, but in the end he gained nothing.

Said: "The so-called immortality is just a kind of pain!"

"Oh?"

Bai Zhi was a little surprised. He never thought that Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, would say this.

After all, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che had the ultimate power, so how could he feel pain?

"The most painful thing is to have a white-haired person give a black-haired person a gift, and watch your former best friends and loved ones pass away one by one..."

"Perhaps passing away like this is the best relief..."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che said calmly.

The waiter on the side lowered his head.

"I wonder if the sacred bird will still stay in Dahan after I die?"

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, whispered softly, and his voice became weaker and weaker until he was close enough to hear it.

"nature!"

Bai Zhi nodded, looked at Liu Che and said, "After all, I promised the emperor that you would protect this man..."

"……good!"

Leaning on the soft couch and hearing Bai Zhi's answer, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che suddenly lost the strength to support his body, his head drooped, and his breathing stopped.

When the waiter on the side saw this, he immediately knelt on the ground, then crawled forward and tried Liu Che's breath. Then it was gone. The waiter quickly backed away and turned his attention to Bai Zhi.

"Go!"

Bai Zhi said to the waiter.

"..."

The waiter bowed silently and hurried out.

……

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty passed away, the whole country was in mourning, and everyone was weeping.

The emperor had been in power for more than a hundred years. Not only did he eliminate the troubles of the Huns in the north, but he also attracted the appearance of divine birds to protect the Han Dynasty.Finally, the prosperity of the Second Emperor was created!
The passing of an emperor is the passing of an era, the end of an evocative poem...

However, none of this has anything to do with Bai Zhi.

Weiyang Palace.

Prime Minister Zhang Qian, dragging his old body, stood on the magnificent palace Danbi and read out the emperor's edict.

As a minister of Tuogu, Zhang Qian had rights that no one could control.Moreover, the new emperor is only ten and five years old, has not yet reached the crown, and cannot yet rule personally.

The operation of the Han Empire was all tied to one person.

As the years passed, Bai Zhi stood on the palace, quietly watching the ceremony below, the replacement of the old with the new, the perfection of heaven and earth, and the cycle.

In the palace, the new emperor's childish voice echoed in the palace, and all the officials knelt down to discuss government affairs.

The ministers discussed the achievements of the late emperor, and he was called: Emperor Wu!
It means: Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!
