The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 91 Changes in the Military System

Dongfang Shuo thought for a while before stating his point of view to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

His views coincided with those of Weining. They both believed that an army could be defeated, but the sacrificed and injured soldiers needed to be rewarded, so as to increase the combat effectiveness and morale of the soldiers.

Unlike before, rewards and punishments for soldiers needed to be determined based on the success or failure of a war.

In the final analysis of this system, the emperor's personal mood determines rewards and punishments. When the army wins, the emperor is happy, so he rewards.If the army fails, the emperor will be in a bad mood and the army will not receive any reward.

The current military shortcomings of the Han Dynasty need to be reformed.

After Dongfang Shuo finished stating his point of view, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Dongfang Shuo with squinted eyes and asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Dongfang Shuo thought to himself, "You don't give me a chance. Every time I want to talk about these things, you always say that you know how to run the army better than me, and that I am a civil servant and don't understand these things."

He was also wondering in his heart, who was changing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who had such a domineering and arbitrary temperament?

Dongfang Shuo cupped his fists and said, "I know I'm guilty."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. From today on, we will announce to all the armies in the world that for all wounded and sacrificed people, there is no need to determine rewards based on the victory or defeat of an army. Anyone who kills the enemy and makes meritorious service will be rewarded. Anyone who fights fiercely on the battlefield will be rewarded! Anyone who is wounded or sacrifices will be rewarded." Those who sacrifice themselves will be rewarded!”

Dongfang Shuo hurriedly clasped his fists and said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Long live your Majesty!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waved his hand and said: "Go down."

"Oh, there is one more thing. We need to change the people's view of the soldiers. Let Zongzheng Da Nong Mansion focus on publicizing the wounded soldiers. I want to see the people's respect for the disabled soldiers from the bottom of their hearts."

"According to the order."

After Dongfang Shuo left, Prime Minister Zhuang Qingzhai came to Qilin Hall to meet Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The winter solstice is approaching, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has already announced to the Prime Minister's Office that he will go to Baling to worship his ancestors' mountains and rivers during the winter solstice, and wish for good weather and a good harvest next year.

Zhuang Qingzhai informed Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in detail about the arrangements for ancestor worship.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought for a moment and said, "Let's send more imperial troops over."

"Here!"

After he left, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt vaguely uneasy.

Weining had just warned him today to be careful.

Although he didn't take Wei Ning's words to heart at that time, now that the sacrifice was coming, he became a little uneasy.

According to Weining's hunch, someone seemed to want to assassinate him.

But Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty really couldn't figure out who could dare to assassinate him, the emperor, in Chang'an!
……

Wuyuan Palace.

"Huan'er."

Chen Ajiao found Liu Huan.

Chen Ajiao has very high expectations for her son.

Wei Zifu's eldest son Liu Ju was still young. According to Zhou rites, she, the eldest son, should inherit the throne.

But now the collapse of rituals and music started with Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. The crown prince Liu Rong was supposed to succeed him, but in the end he became the ninth son of Jiaodong King Liu Che.

So before the world is decided, who can sit in that position is still uncertain!
Her eldest son is now qualified to inherit the throne, both in terms of age and talent!

Chen Ajiao was sure that she had no hope in this life. Once that arbitrary emperor began to hate a woman, it would be impossible to win his favor from Xinbo.

A woman's beauty is worthless. Does the emperor want any beauty?
Chen Ajiao was ignorant and did not understand these principles before. By the time she understood these things, it was already too late.

Her only hope now is that her son ascends the throne and becomes emperor. Only then can she get out of this cold palace.

Palace politics is very cruel, and she is the loser. She has no hope of getting ahead in her life, and is trapped in the cold palace until she dies alone!

She is unwilling!
She must take everything back from Wei Zifu!
Liu Huan respectfully cupped his fists and saluted Chen Ajiao, and said, "My child has met your mother." Chen Ajiao smiled and said, "My son, don't be too polite. What are you reading recently?"

Liu Huan smiled and said: "My child is reading the Book of Songs."

After hearing this, Chen Ajiao's expression darkened and she said, "You shouldn't be like this. You should read the book on governing the country. The rest is useless to you."

Liu Huan snorted and said, "Mom, I understand."

"Good boy."

Chen Ajiao patted Liu Huan on the shoulder and said with emotion: "You have grown up."

"Have you gone to see your father these past two days?"

Liu Huan shook his head: "No."

Chen Ajiao glanced at him and said, "In the winter solstice in a few days, your father will go to Ba Mausoleum to worship his ancestors."

"You go to your father's house frequently these days."

"No matter what, you must let him take you to Baling to worship your ancestors, you know?"

People in the outer dynasties now know too little about Liu Huan. If you want to fight for the throne, you not only need the support of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but also the approval of the ministers of the outer dynasties.

The opinions of foreign ministers cannot be ignored. They are the people who meet the emperor the most, and their words carry a high weight in the emperor's heart.

Chen Ajiao is no longer the jealous woman she used to be. After being baptized by palace struggles, she has a deep understanding of many things, especially the royal struggle.

At first, he was proud of his favor, thinking that he was the daughter of his relatives, and with the support of his relatives, he could act unscrupulously in front of the emperor.

But later she discovered that this country does not belong to her relatives. No matter how powerful you are, once the emperor's wings are full, that's when disaster will happen.

This world can only belong to the emperor alone!

If you want to maintain power, you must please the emperor!

This is a truth she realized and taught her son personally.

As long as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty liked Liu Huan, and as long as the foreign ministers saw Liu Huan's potential, then regardless of Liu Huan's mother, there was a high possibility that Liu Huan would be appointed as the heir apparent!
As for Wei Zifu's son, he is still young. Who knows what his future will be like?
In the palace, not fighting is the greatest stupidity!

After hearing what Chen Ajiao said, Liu Huan asked, "Mom, my father didn't notify me to follow him to worship our ancestors."

Chen Ajiao said: "I know, but he didn't notify you, wouldn't you take the initiative to fight for it?"

Liu Huan scratched his head: "Mom, I can't even see my father, how can I fight for it?"

Chen Ajiao thought for a moment and said, "Leave these matters to your mother, and she will help you."

Liu Huan nodded heavily!

Chen Ajiao said: "Your father believes in witches, gods and ghosts the most."

"These days, you should eat less food every day and concentrate on praying for witch blessings at your residence."

"When your father comes to find you, you will say this..."

Chen Ajiao personally taught Liu Huan how to deal with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believed in ghosts and gods the most in his life. He was paranoid and stubborn. No one dared to contradict him. Even though everyone believed that the ghosts and gods were fictional, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was fascinated by them.

If you want to impress Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, conventional methods will definitely not work.

After Liu Huan heard what Chen Ajiao said, he hurriedly said: "Mom, I know."

Chen Ajiao waved her hand and said, "Good boy, go quickly."

"it is good."
