The great man will live forever

Chapter 152 More and more absurd
The rain is gurgling outside the curtain, and the mood of spring is fading.Luo quilt can't bear the cold at midnight.In the dream, I didn't know that I was a guest, and I was greedy for pleasure for a while.Don't lean on the fence alone, the world is unlimited.Separation is easier than reunion.The flowing water and falling flowers are gone in spring, and the world is in heaven and earth.

The stone in the river did not turn, and many regrets were gone with the wind. In the blink of an eye, it came to the sixth year of Yuanfeng (105 BC).

The former Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a man of great talent and strategy, but watching Wei Qing die, he felt older and older and became more obsessed with immortality.

Those once great talents and strategies seem to have passed with the passage of time.

As a result, alchemists, swindlers and magicians from all over the Han Dynasty joined Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in a mixed manner, using their techniques of bewitchment and deception.

They look the same every day, which dazzles Liu Han, and it's hard to expose them. Isn't this a slap in the face of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?He treated it as a joke and did not interfere unless it went too far.

In fact, he also had his own selfish motives. If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not stupid, he would have no chance. If the disaster of witchcraft did not come, he would have to wait until Emperor Wu died.

And if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hadn't been so troubled and taken drugs to seek immortality, he might have lived a lot longer, and he might not have lived to be 90 years old.

As an emperor as famous as Qin Shihuang in Chinese history, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was unrivaled in his talent, strategy, culture and martial arts. He recovered Ningxia, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi, Guizhou, and Liaodong that were lost in the chaos of the late Qin Dynasty, and brought Gansu, Yunnan, Fujian, The Western Regions and Inner Mongolia were included in the Chinese territory, and then they conquered the countries in East Asia and Central Asia...

Among the ancient emperors, he may not be ranked first, but he cannot fall out of the top three. Qin Shihuang is the first. He and Tang Taizong are evenly matched. Each has its own merits. Some people like him more, and some people like Tang Taizong more.

Under these three people are Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Li Longji, the Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor, Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor, Genghis Khan... these people compete for other rankings. (I don’t want to talk about the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, except for Yongzheng, they all looked down upon)
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty strengthened the centralization of power, respected Confucianism, reformed the currency system, opened up the Western Regions, opened borders for profit, established reign titles, trampled the Xiongnu, captured Hexi, chased north, and sealed the wolf to live in Xu Mountain to face the Hanhai;
Conquer the Western Regions, set up city guards, cross the Congling Mountains in the west, attack and destroy the Dawan Kingdom of Kangju Cheshi, conquer Korea in the east, kill Baiyue in the south, destroy the barbarians in the southwest, and establish counties.

During his reign, China's territory doubled, basically establishing the territory of the Han Dynasty and even China in the future, and creating a stable surrounding environment for the subsequent dynasties of China for 300 years.

Even at the end of the Three Kingdoms period, the Han Dynasty was still scorning its surroundings. However, during the Eight Kings Rebellion of the Jin Dynasty, the Sima family beat the pig brains out for the throne, which greatly damaged the vitality of the Han people. This led to the chaos of the Five Husbands, the two-legged sheep, and the human beings are inferior to dogs...

Therefore, the prestige of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the Western Han Dynasty was almost unparalleled. When the crown prince rebelled due to witchcraft, he randomly sent people, but the soldiers did not dare to move. Even if he struggled in his later years, he would be forgiven for everything. The big man is solid again.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was so smart. Didn't he think that these were liars, just wishful thinking to deceive himself and others?

You can never wake up a person who is pretending to sleep, just like you can never warm a heart that is not close to you.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was like a licking dragon in this world. Various gods tortured him and changed him in thousands of ways. His love for immortality was like his first love.

These magic sticks tempted Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to worship God and pray for blessings, so he began to worship more and more gods, such as Taiyi, the Lord of Six Seasons, Houtu, the Five Emperors... everything is inclusive and inclusive. After all, he is a god. You all have to pay your respects.

Fortunately, the god from the West has not been introduced, or has not appeared at all, otherwise he would have to build a cross, build a church, and sign on his chest and forehead, "Amen, bless me forever!".

There was also Buddhism, such as Tathagata Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and the Eighteen Arhats. He had to pay homage and build a few more temples. The big man felt even more uncomfortable. The sky was filled with immortals and Buddhas fighting.

Even if there were no Jesus and Buddhist gods, even the local gods would be too busy to rely on the court to build sacrificial temples. There are many gods with various names that can only be worshiped by the alchemists themselves.

Even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, at the instigation of the alchemists, spent a huge amount of money and a lot of time and energy to tour all over the country.

Whenever he heard that there were gods somewhere, he would go and pray for them.Among them, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to Fengchan Taishan the most often, and even more alchemists were sent to the sea to find the ethereal Penglai Island!

Despite all the efforts and twists and turns, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still achieved nothing after more than ten years!However, he still refused to give up, always looking forward to some miracle!
No, he has set his sights on Daxia, an ancient country with a legendary color. The name "Daxia" can be seen in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and ancient books of Zhou, Qin and Han Dynasties, and "Lu's Spring and Autumn Ancient Music Chapter" 》The record should be the most detailed, and the record is as follows:
"In the past, Huangdi ordered Linglun to be the law. Linglun took bamboo from the west of Daxia to the Yin of Ruanxi. He took bamboo from the valley of Jixi River and cut it into two sections. It was three inches and nine minutes long. I blew it and thought it was the Palace of Yellow Bells."

As for where it is, not many people know.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Overseas Eastern Classic" records: "Those whose countries are outside the quicksand, Daxia, stand on the vertical sand, and live on the Yao and Yue branches."At the same time, it is pointed out in Volume [-]: "Xihu Baiyu Mountain is in the east of Daxia, Cangwu is in the southwest of Baiyu Mountain, both are in the west of Liusha, and Kunlun is in the southeast." It may be in Kunlun, which is closer to the mythical Kunlun, and may be in the southwest. Everyone has their own opinions, but no one has been to it, and there is no such country in the Western Regions.

The reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took a fancy to Daxia and wanted to look for it was because Daxia was related to the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor was probably the god he most admired and trusted at the moment. After all, there was indeed a Yellow Emperor in history, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, who was very interested in his royal daughter. Three thousand, the myth of soaring in the daytime has been circulating.

"Hanshu" Volume 25 "Records of Suburban Sacrifice": "The Yellow Emperor collected copper from the first mountain and cast the tripod at the foot of Jingshan Mountain. When the tripod was completed, there was a dragon with hanging beards to welcome the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor rode up, and the ministers in the harem followed the dragon for more than seventy years. People, the dragon is going up. The rest of the ministers are not allowed to go up, but they are all holding the dragon's beard. The dragon's beard is pulled out, and it falls down. It falls into the Yellow Emperor's bow. The people look up to the Yellow Emperor as he ascends to the sky, and hold his bow and the dragon's beard. Therefore, later generations named this place. Dinghu, its bow is called Wuhao."

What's even more ridiculous is that Gongsun Qing, the alchemist favored by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, built an ancient tripod in the fourth year of Yuanding in order to have Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty consecrate Mount Tai to Zen. Then this guy started to fool Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, it was a winter when the Yellow Emperor got the tripod. This is also a winter when the Holy Emperor also got the tripod.

This is not accidental, this is inevitable. This is God's will. The Yellow Emperor has already achieved his merits and achieved immortality. The emperor should also follow his footsteps and become an immortal!

While the tripod is coming out of the furnace, the emperor quickly went to consecrate it to Zen. Zen can communicate with gods, gods can communicate with heaven, and heaven can communicate with immortals.If you understand immortality, you can understand everything, be happy and live forever! "

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very happy and went to confer Zen. As a result, he didn't even see the fart after going around. Where did the immortal come from? Huo Shan was still dead.

Gongsun Qing was very smart. He said: "Your Majesty, it is not easy to see immortals. Otherwise, everyone would have become immortals long ago. The heart must be sincere. As the saying goes, where sincerity comes, gold and stone will open."

Good guy, if you haven't seen the gods, you may be sincere. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty appointed Gongsun Qing as Lang Guan, responsible for going to Taishi Mountain in Songshan Mountain to wait for the descent of the gods who would welcome him to heaven.Later, the "traces" of the Yellow Emperor were indeed found. As a result, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was happy and granted Gongsun Qing the title of Zhongdafu.

From then on, Gongsun Qing claimed to have seen gods from time to time, and used big footprints to constantly deceive Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very annoyed, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't want this expectation to be shattered again.

Even once, when offering sacrifices in Donglai, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very angry and wanted to kill Gongsun Qing.Gongsun Qing was extremely frightened, so he asked General Wei Qing, who was with him at the time, to help him speak.

Later, Wei Qing succeeded in dissuading Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so Gongsun Qing saved his own life. At that time, Liu Han was busy destroying South Vietnam, otherwise he would probably have advised Wei Qing not to speak for the magic stick.

Over the years, in order to find Daxia related to the Yellow Emperor, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent more than a dozen groups of envoys every year, starting from the newly established counties in the southwest, hoping to find a road to Daxia in this area.

It was okay in the past few years, but this year, the envoys were trapped in Kunming, their people were killed, and their property was robbed.So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pardoned the death row prisoners in the capital and allowed them to join the army. He sent General Guo Chang to lead the expedition against Kunming, killing tens of thousands of people in total...

Good guy, for the sake of a legend and a road that may not exist, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked it with a large army. Liu Han only felt that it was extremely absurd. Prince Liu Ju tried to persuade him many times, but to no avail. Even his relationship with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty became worse and worse. .

Liu Han thought about persuading him, but thought about it and let it go. The Qin Emperor and Han Wu were obsessed with immortality, just like the old man who was superstitious about health care products. Is this persuasion possible?
He was still afraid. If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty knew that he and Shu Yuzhu could refine immortality medicine through the so-called flesh and blood of the first generation, would he go crazy?
Therefore, he became more and more low-key and lived in seclusion. He was living in isolation, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty became more and more ridiculous.

　"Zizhi Tongjian" records: The Han Dynasty opened five counties to the southwestern barbarians, and wanted to connect the land to Daxia. Every year, more than ten generations of envoys were sent out of the early counties, and they were all closed in Kunming. They were killed and the coins and goods were taken away.So the emperor pardoned the capital's troops and ordered them to join the army. He sent general Guo Chang to attack them and behead hundreds of thousands of them.Later, the envoy was sent again, but he was unable to get through.

　　Autumn, severe drought, locusts.

　　Regarding the location of ancient "Bactria", many experts and scholars have conducted long-term discussions and research, and have produced the theory that the center of "Bactria" was in "Southern Shanxi", the Amu Darya River Basin in the Western Regions, and Hotan in China. , Dunhuang theory, Hexi theory, Hetao theory and even Gansu Hezhou theory, etc.

　　Anyway, it is too long ago to be tested in archeology. Yes, there is. This Great Xia is not the Xia Dynasty.
