The great man will live forever

Chapter 156
In 104 BC, due to the long-term use of troops to expand the border, the internal defense was empty. In order to strengthen the protection of the capital Chang'an, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty created eight captains, including the middle base captain, the garrison captain, the infantry captain, the Yue cavalry captain, and the long captain. Shui Xiaowei, Hu Qi Xiaowei, Shesheng Xiaowei, and Huben Xiaowei.

The eight captains each had a rank of 700 shi, and were subordinated to Cheng and Sima. Each school had [-] soldiers, all of whom were the best among the best.

At the same time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Gongsun Qing, Hu Sui, Sima Qian and others to compile the Taichu Calendar, use Xia Zheng, adopt 24 solar terms, and change the Yuan to Taichu, so this year is also called the first year of Taichu.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built the Jianzhang Palace in Shanglin Garden in the west of Chang'an City because Bailiang Terrace was burned down. It was also from this year that Sima Qian prepared to write "Historical Records".

In the summer of this year, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che asked for a sweat-blooded horse from Dawan, a small country in the western region, but King Dawan refused. Emperor Wu was furious and issued an edict to attack Dawan.

The one who leads the army is Li Guangli. He wants to follow the path of Wei Qing, a relative, and then use his military exploits to control the army. Because the most important goal of this operation is to go to Dayuan Kingdom's Second Division City to rob the bloody BMW, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave him Li Guangli has a very special title, called "General of the Second Division".

Of course, Liu Han knew very well that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to support another Wei Qing. If Liu Han was Huo Qubing back then, then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted Li Guangli to become the next Wei Qing. He could not let one person's family dominate.

"How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer? I will send Li Guangli to attack Dawan this time. I believe he can bring me good news."

In Weiyang Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty specially summoned Liu Han.

"Your Majesty is wise."

"You, don't you think you're scolding me for being militaristic?"

"Don't dare!"

"You mean you've thought about it?"

Good guy, how should Liu Han answer this?It has to be said that as he grew older, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty became more and more eccentric.

"I, a great Han, are sincere and have traveled thousands of miles to Dawan with horses made of gold. If Dawan doesn't give us horses, just forget it, and intercept and kill the Han envoys. This is simply a provocation to the majesty of the Han Dynasty, and the country should be destroyed."

This is Liu Han's answer: support, absolutely support.

"It would be great if the prince were like you. A few days ago, he wrote a letter asking me to rest with the people, and advised me not to use swords for my own selfish interests. But how did he know that the might of the big man was revealed? A careful big man Wan dared to provoke me, a big man, and just tolerated it. Who will respect the envoys sent to the Western Regions in the future?"

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said this, he became even more angry, "It's not enough for me to scold him. I continued to write a letter yesterday. He is wise and praised by the government and the public. I am the only one who is a coward and a tyrant? Is he a loyal minister, a good minister, and a wise minister?"

"How did he know that I went to Dawan just for my own selfish reasons? The horses traveled thousands of miles a day. They are the best breeds of horses. If everyone in our Han cavalry rides Pegasus, then the Xiongnu will definitely be completely wiped out by us. All my painstaking efforts have turned into selfish desires in his eyes. He only sees the people of the world, and I am afraid that I am no longer the father..."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said, more like complaining, but he was also worried. The prince's power was getting stronger and stronger. By supporting Li Guangli, he was actually indirectly supporting himself and Mrs. Li's son Liu Kun.

"Do you understand these painstaking efforts?"

"I understand, these ministers will tell the prince."

"Ah."

"You still understand my heart. I want to keep you until I go out to attack the Xiongnu again and wipe them out completely."

Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made Liu Han the Crown Prince and Tutor, he also secretly attracted Liu Han. His influence in the court could not be ignored. Most of the generals and marquises with military merits had worked with Liu Han.

Although Liu Han is young, he is only in his 30s, but in all the battles Huo Qubing fought, he did not fall behind. He was always the second-in-command, holding the thigh. He also fought in things that Huo Qubing did not fight. With this qualification, if he fights more After some battles and some military achievements, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty might have to take action.

……

"Eighth Colonel, who should you guard against? The prince or me?"

Liu Han, who returned to the mansion, murmured to himself. He thought about reaching out, but the thought only passed by in a flash. The embroidered messenger of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not jealous. To reach out to one of the eight lieutenants was to seek death. Although Sima Yi was despicable. , but he was ruthless enough, able to survive, and forbearing enough to succeed.

Liu Han happened to have plenty of time, "Wait a minute, the witchcraft disaster will only last for more than ten years, so don't worry."

A few days later, Prince Liu Zhi came again.

"Taifu, my father actually wants to build a palace on a grand scale. He wants to build the Jianzhang Palace in Shanglin Garden in the west of Chang'an City."

The Chang'an Imperial Palace of the Han Dynasty mainly consists of Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace. Weiyang Palace is called the West Palace, which is the palace where the emperor lives. Weiyang Palace is forever; Changle Palace is called the East Palace, where the Queen Mother lives. After the Queen Mother dies, the prince lives here.

Originally, Prince Liu Zhi did not support the war, but now he still wants to build a palace. Isn't this a waste of money and people?

"My father said that the building should not be smaller than the Weiyang Palace, but also the front hall, Shenming Terrace, Shuangfeng Que, Taiye Pool, etc. should be built inside, especially the Shenming Terrace. My father planned to build it at least 50 feet high to beg the gods to come. "How big a project is this?" "Have you already persuaded him?"

"Uh-huh!"

"It doesn't work, does it?"

Prince Liu Zhi was in an unusually low mood, "Zhou'er can't understand that Qin Shihuang's pursuit of immortality was a living example of wasting people and money. Doesn't my father know about it? Besides, for so many years, I haven't heard of anyone who has immortality? They all say The Yellow Emperor ascended in the daytime, but who has really seen it? My father didn't understand. I have been begging for immortality for decades, but I haven't seen a single immortal..."

He complained a lot, his eyes were red, and he was obviously scolded by Liu Che. Only in Liu Han would he say this. He was used to treating Liu Han as a safe haven, just like his uncle Wei Qing.

Over the years, his relationship with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has become weaker and weaker. In fact, when he was a child, the relationship between the child and his parents may have been better, and he was more attached to his parents. When the child grew up and had his own family, his love for his parents It seems that it has begun to weaken invisibly.

Looking at Liu Zhi who was trying hard but had no choice but to do anything, Liu Han was like looking at the children of later generations who tried their best to persuade their parents not to buy health care products.

"A lot of life is about compromise!"

Liu Han sighed, "Ju'er, there are many things that we can't do anything about. What you have to do is to keep your position, become the next generation of emperor, and be a good emperor."

"Taifu refers to the fifth brother?" Prince Liu Zhi was actually very smart. He immediately thought of Liu Kun, the fifth son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the current King of Changyi.

"Although my father doesn't like Ju'er anymore, he probably won't..."

"Everything in the world is unpredictable, so you should make plans early. Qin Shihuang still liked Fusu back then, but in the end, no one said that you were like him? As studious, as benevolent..."

"But my father is not Qin Shihuang."

"He's also obsessed with immortality in some ways, isn't he?"

Prince Liu Zhi was a little shocked. He shook his head hard and said quickly, "Father, you can't do it, and there are no treacherous people like Li Si or Zhao Gao in the court."

He was telling it not only to Liu Han, but also to himself.

"I just want you to make plans in advance and take precautions before anything happens."

Liu Zheng left the Lanling Hou Mansion feeling a little sad. He seemed to have changed, but also seemed not to have changed.

"Your Highness, why are you frowning tonight?"

The speaker was Liu Zhi's wife Shi Liangdi. Her figure was graceful and graceful, like a beauty with dancing curves. She was uniquely dignified and gorgeous.Her slender waist is soft and slender, like a graceful willow branch, her arms are slender and erect, and her skin is as white and tender as snow. When you touch her, it feels like you are touching a beautiful jade.

This princess not only has a beautiful appearance, but also has noble moral character and talent.She is gentle, considerate, well-educated and elegant.

She was originally from the Lu State and was born in the Shi family of the Lu State. Her mother was named Zhenjun and her brother was named Shi Gong.Qilu, the land of etiquette and righteousness, has many great Confucians.In addition to Shi Liangdi who married Prince Liu Zhi, the Shi family also had another daughter who married Liu Guang, King of Lu An, and became Queen Lu.

Later, Shi Gong's son married the Liu family and married the granddaughter of King Cheng (Liu Hu, King of Jibei). This shows the reputation of the Shi family in Lu State.

She is not the crown prince yet, and Liu Zhi does not have a crown prince. Originally, the prince should have concubines, concubines, and children. There are several levels of wives and concubines. He should marry the concubine first, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that the prince concubine will be the mother of a country in the future. You can't make a choice easily, you have to give it more consideration, so Liu Zhi still doesn't have a princess, and he feels a little bit resentful towards Wei Zifu.

And the two of them had a sense of free love. Liu Zheng married because he liked it, without too many interests. After all, in the Western Han Dynasty, no matter how powerful the family was, it could not compare with the royal family, especially the royal family during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In one sentence, he said, It can bring about the destruction of aristocratic families. The word "Martial" of Emperor Wu was typed and forged with blood.

"On weekdays, you always want to be happy when you come back from the Lanling Marquis Mansion. Why are you like this tonight? What did the Taifu say? Do you blame His Highness?"

"Has Jin'er fallen asleep?"

The Jin'er he refers to is his eldest son Liu Jin, who is almost 7 years old this year and can already run and jump. You must know that Liu Ju himself is only 24 years old.

"After sleeping, you want to see him?"

"Don't look, don't look. If you are alone, you are here." Liu said and hugged Shi Liangdi. He seemed to have grown up. After all, he was no longer alone.

Perhaps feeling something, Shi Liangdi hugged her harder and spoke softly in Liu Ju's ear, "I will always follow Your Highness, I will never leave you!"
