The great man will live forever

Chapter 128 Emperor Wu’s stubbornness

On the second day, Liu Che and Huo She went down the mountain and held a second "Zen" ceremony on another solemn mountain at the foot of the mountain.

At this point, the Feng Chan ceremony was all completed. Liu Che, who was wearing a yellow dress, personally completed all the salutes and kneels with the full accompaniment of solemn music. This was the largest sacrificial ceremony held since Liu Che ascended the throne.

In those days, people all over the world, even if they could not be there to see it in person, seemed to be able to feel the majesty of this emperor who had "divine right to king".

In the 30th year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che climbed to the pinnacle of his life step by step, just like he and Huo She climbed to the top of Mount Tai step by step! Looking back at the young emperor who first ascended the throne, the New Deal was dormant due to setbacks, it seems like it happened yesterday .

But Liu Che deserves the title of Zen in Mount Tai!
However, after being granted Zen status, Liu Che actually said something like this to the world: "I inherit the position of supreme being with a small body, and I am worried all day long that I am not up to the task... I want to start over from now on, and start over with all the scholar-bureaucrats!"

Afterwards, Liu Che ordered that every 80 households be given one cow and ten shi of wine, and the orphans over [-] years old were given two pieces of cloth and silk.

The four counties of Bo County, Fenggao, Sheqiu and Licheng are exempted from corvee and this year's tax.All mistakes committed two years ago will no longer be punished, and the world will be amnesty!
Taishan Fengchan is the pinnacle and a new beginning.

However, what I never expected was that Huo Shan, Huo Qubing's only son, started to have a high fever after coming down from Mount Tai. Perhaps the wind in Mount Tai was too strong and gave him a cold.

"What? Feng Chezihou contracted the cold and is already bedridden?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very surprised when he learned the news, "I regretted that I had listened to the hussar general."

In fact, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to enshrine Zen, Liu Han wrote a letter saying, "It's thousands of kilometers from Chang'an to Mount Tai. The journey is long and the journey is tiring. People with weak constitutions, especially children, are easy to get sick. I hope your majesty will not Take Huo Shan with you and wait until he is older."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought that as the son of champion Hou Huo Qubing, how could he be afraid of the long journey?Back then, the champion Hou also traveled thousands of miles and fought at a young age. He, Huo Shan, was already ten years old. How could he not suffer even this little bit?
Therefore, he didn't take it seriously and brought Huo Shan to Mount Tai.

"Quickly, send the best doctor to see if something goes wrong and I will kill you."

At this moment, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a little panicked. To be honest, too many people died young. In ancient times, a small cold would kill people. If Huo Shan died, wouldn't Huo Qubing be extinct?
"Forget it, I'll go and see for myself."

"Your Majesty, it's better not to take it. The dragon's body is the most important thing, and the wind and cold are easily contagious." Su Wen, the chamberlain, held him tightly. In the past few years, Guo Sheren also died. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed many people. Some people don't recognize their relatives, and in some ways they are more selfish and ruthless than his father.

Sometimes, the emperor's personal morality has little to do with whether he is a good emperor.

When you want to evaluate an emperor, you must first look at the dynasty and era system he lived in. Don't imitate those sanctimonious hypocrites and only look at personal morality.

Just like Emperor Han Jing, the father of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he was definitely not a good person in terms of personal ethics. He was mean, ungrateful, and ruthless, but this did not prevent him from being a good emperor. There was no conflict between the two.

When Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was angry in his youth, he killed the crown prince of Wu with a chessboard. The angry Emperor Wen wanted to replace the crown prince. Shortly after the death of his grandmother, Empress Dowager Bo, he deposed his empress Bo because she had no children.

After the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion broke out, in order to shift the blame, they killed the teacher, the Chao Cuo clan, basically the whole family, plus some other people, which was extremely cruel.

After the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms was put down, he did not retain any of the rebel kings. This was normal. However, he even cheated his younger brother, King Liang. He claimed that he would pass the throne to his younger brother, but in fact he was deceiving his younger brother to do more for him. We must work hard to stabilize the throne, otherwise King Liang would not have resisted with all his life during the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion.

But the younger brother never got close to the throne until his death. When he was an orphan, he personally experienced the fierceness and unreasonableness of the crown prince's mother, Su Ji, and deposed the crown prince Liu Rong. For this reason, he forced Zhou Yafu to death and tricked Zhidu to death.Before his death, he tricked Dou Ying with a "Three Nos" edict.

Therefore, from these points of view, Emperor Han Jing is definitely not a good person.

However, no one can deny that he continued the rule of Wenjing and changed the land rent from fifteen taxes to thirty taxes. The people were prosperous, which attacked the princes and kings and left enough accumulation for Emperor Wu to fight the Huns.

If he really had a true voice, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty Liu Qi's true voice should be, "I love the imperial power and all the people in the world, but I don't love anyone, even if that person is my teacher or son."

In this regard, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could only say that the young are better than the old. He may even not love the people but only love the imperial power.

"That's all. When he gets better, I'll go take a look."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also cherished life, and as he got older, he began to pursue immortality. During his reign, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was particularly obsessed with the way of gods. This obsession later gave rise to the utilitarian purpose of pursuing immortality.For example, the "living god" Li Shaojun in his early years was the first alchemist Liu Che came into contact with.

Li Shaojun never told anyone his age, place of origin and life story. He had no wife and children and traveled around the world relying on his own alchemy skills.

People heard about his skills and gave him gifts one after another, leaving him with a lot of money and property. When new acquaintances saw that he had no business but was very wealthy, and did not know his origins, they believed in and served him more.

Li Shaojun met an old man at a banquet and told him about the place where he had hunted and played with his grandfather. The old man had followed his grandfather when he was a child. He knew the place and thought he was very accurate. All the guests were surprised.

When Li Shaojun first met Liu Che, there was an ancient bronze vessel next to him. When asked about it, he said it was the vessel of Duke Huan of Qi. Liu Che checked the inscription on the bronze vessel and found that it was indeed the case. The Manchu officials were surprised and thought how long Li Shaojun had lived. A hundred-year-old god.

Liu Han just wanted to laugh at that time. He estimated that Li Shaojun was the earliest tomb robber, the kind who was proficient in antiques, and the previous ones were all bribed by him to perform.

Of course, Liu Han didn't laugh or expose it. Li Shaojun even advised Liu Che to refine cinnabar into gold to extend his life. According to his instructions, he sent alchemists to the sea to find immortals, and at the same time, he started to use cinnabar and other medicines to refine gold.

But Liu Han wished that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would take more elixirs and die sooner. If he didn't live so long, he would not be in trouble with Li Shaojun.

Later, Liu Che dreamed that he and Li Shaojun climbed a mountain together, and the other party rode a dragon away from the clouds.It is said that Li Shaojun died of illness not long after the dream, but Liu Che naively believed that he had ascended to heaven and was not dead. He even ordered Kuan Shu, a clerk in a county near the sea, to continue searching for Peng Xianren according to the method provided by Li Shaojun. In the end, of course, nothing was found.

The young man from Qi was the second alchemist Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty met. This man had white hair, but he looked young. Liu Han probably had albinism.

This guy loves to pretend to be gods and ghosts. It is said that the magic method that can summon ghosts and gods is actually a little magic plus shadow puppetry. In later generations, some people say that he is the inventor of shadow puppetry.

He used the method of summoning ghosts and gods to summon the deceased Lady Wang, the beauty of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He used shadow puppetry to pretend to be gods and ghosts. He was rewarded by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and was granted the title of General Wencheng.

Liu Han didn't expose him, he just thought it was funny, but this guy was not good at magic, and his 'spells' always failed, so he wrote a picture and asked the cow to eat it, and then said that there was something in the cow's belly.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty found the content strange and became suspicious. After checking it, he naturally found that he had been deceived. He was furious and killed him. He also said that he was poisoned by eating horse liver. He was the great Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and could not afford to lose it. This face.

But he would not die until he saw the Yellow River, and he would not shed tears until he saw the coffin. How could Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's desire for immortality come to an end just like that?
Even if he found out that he had been deceived, he was only suspicious of the young man's way of seeking immortality. He did not regret his pursuit of immortality. He still continued to move forward on the evil path of seeking immortality.

Then, he met the third liar, Gongsun Qing. This was a powerful figure. He had knowledge of astronomy and calendar, was articulate and eloquent, and was an extremely knowledgeable and cunning figure among the alchemists.

Gongsun Qing was the person who deceived Liu Che for the longest time and most successfully about seeking immortality. He first used the Yellow Emperor's becoming an immortal as an example to lure Liu Che into being deeply obsessed with the way of seeking immortality.

Later, he continued to use specious evidence such as giant footprints and recited divine words to prove the existence of gods, and even described the disasters caused by thunder as being similar to those of the Yellow Emperor.

All these enable Liu Che to always get timely comfort and a bit of joy every time he is disappointed and frustrated. Although Liu Che cannot seek immortality, he still can't stop. There are always new deceptions that can be continued. Liu Han admires these very much. , after all, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not easy to deceive.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also very angry. He threatened him several times. He once mentioned to him Shaoweng and Luan Da's deception of seeking immortality, and wanted to force Gongsun Qing to question him. He even wanted to kill him, but Gongsun Qing was able to defy him skillfully.

Liu Han did not expose this. As long as Gongsun Qing did not infringe on his interests or harm him, he would just act like a clown just for fun.

　I saw a passage today that made me want to cry.

　　The prime minister had never seen the Han Dynasty in its prime, but he restored the Han Dynasty one by one. This was to repay the kindness of his late lord.

　　Boyue had never met the late emperor, but he kept saying that he wanted to protect the late emperor's inheritance. This was just to repay the kindness of the prime minister for knowing him.

　　Last year, the Tianshui tram opened to traffic and was named Boyue, a romance with thousands of years of Chinese history.
