The great man will live forever

Chapter 93 The Son Is Not Like the Father
Jiaofang Hall, on this day, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to the queen's palace.

"The Emperor is here!"

Before he even entered the palace gate, a chamberlain was already shouting loudly.

This shout is very interesting. Almost all the emperors' travels in later generations followed this set of procedures.

One is to show respect for the emperor, and the other is to remind people to make special preparations to welcome the emperor.

If the emperor leaves the palace, which minister's house he should go to? The minister should bathe and change clothes, wash up in advance, burn incense and pray, etc...

In ancient times, when kings and even high-ranking officials and nobles traveled, they could not move alone on the street. Instead, there were people in front of them to clear the way, people in the back to follow them, and people beside them to escort them. When necessary, the army would even be dispatched...

These measures are collectively called "ceremony guards", and the emperor's guard of honor is specifically called "Lu Book".

The scale of the emperor's ceremonial guard varied in each dynasty, but it was generally divided into three types: the big chariot, the legal chariot, and the small chariot.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Dajia "prepared thousands of rides and thousands of horses", which was a ceremony dedicated to worshiping heaven. Normally when leaving the palace, Fajia and Xiaojia were used.

After the Han Dynasty, Dajia was only used for funerals when the emperor died.

Hearing the shouting, Queen Wei Zifu and Prince Liu Ju saluted at the door in advance, with a smile on her face. Due to her age, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to her palace less often in recent years.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had three thousand beauties in his harem, and it was not an imaginary number, but a real number. They were all beautiful girls of seventeen or eighteen years old, or even younger. They would sleep one a day, and they would not bring any of the same kind for a year, or even for several years. Same thing.

Once you enter this gate, it is as deep as the sea. From then on, you are just a passerby in the world of mortals. Many beauties have been looking forward to it all their lives, but they cannot get the favor of the emperor, but they cannot leave the palace. In the end, they can only live alone in the palace for the rest of their lives. They are so miserable. .

It is better to die alone, but if not, you will be buried as a sacrifice, especially some emperors were very short-lived, and many beauties were buried at a young age. It is simply a sin!

Of course, as for the burial system, the Han Dynasty still did a good job.

The burial system began in the Shang Dynasty and existed until the Qing Dynasty, involving almost all dynasties. However, this situation did not occur in only three dynasties.

They are the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty. What is interesting is that these three dynasties were not ruled by foreign dynasties, but there were martyrs in the Shang, Zhou, Qin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties.

Of course, they did not explicitly prohibit it. The Han Dynasty mostly used ceramics, but sometimes they also made one for burial.

It was also done in the Tang and Song Dynasties. It is said that this was a matter of honoring the ancestors. To a certain extent, it was voluntary. Of course, there was also a suspicion of coercion, but it was much better than that of other dynasties before and after.

"Come!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was wearing the Chixiao Sword that Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty had used to kill the White Snake. He patted Prince Liu Ju's head and pulled him into the room.

At this time, Prince Liu Zheng was wearing two small buns on his head. He was very cute and looked like he was about eight or nine years old.

"Ju'er, hurry up and congratulate your father on the great victory." Wei Zifu patted him on the shoulder and said.

"My son, congratulate your father on your great victory!" Liu Zhi crossed his hands, saluted respectfully, and bowed.

"Okay, okay, look at the reluctant look on your face."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waved his hands and walked back and forth in the room. As he walked, he said, "How do you know the significance of this battle to future generations?"

"While Your Majesty was commanding the military, Liu Zheng also looked at the map every day." Empress Wei Zifu quickly helped.

"Father, the Book of Documents says that destiny is impermanent and violence cannot be relied upon. If you are virtuous, you will win the country, but if you are not virtuous, you will lose the country."

In an instant, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty turned his head and looked directly at his son, his face was ashen, "Violence is not enough!"

He threw down his sleeves, walked forward slowly, and asked his son, "What do you mean?"

The little prince said solemnly: "A country should only be governed by virtue, not by military force."

"Snapped!"

"Hmph!" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty patted his head, snorted coldly, and pinched his face. "Our prince doesn't like fighting, so fine, let me finish the fighting for you."

Liu Ju pursed his lips and said nothing.

"In the future, you will be a king who defends the city and a king of peace. Go ahead, go ahead. Your violence is not worth relying on."

Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a little unhappy, the prince was still young and his favorite son, so he did not punish him.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty favored many maids in his early years, but he never had any children.It was not until the first year of Yuanshuo, that is, in the spring of 128 BC, that Wei Zifu gave birth to a prince for the 29-year-old Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Regarding the belated prince Liu Ju, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty held it in his hands for fear of falling and held it in his mouth for fear of melting. After Wei Qing made great achievements, he immediately made Liu Ju the prince.

In ancient China, the number of princes in history was higher than the number of emperors, and the unnatural mortality rate was three times that of emperors.Although the prince has a dazzling aura, inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, the challenges and pressures he faces are also extremely heavy.

The status of the prince is comparable to that of the emperor. They enjoy an independent official office, an excellent team of mentors, and even a small army. Sometimes they even need to act as agents of state affairs.

In this empire, except the emperor, perhaps no one can enjoy such treatment.

However, the crown prince's position is not permanently guaranteed. No matter how outstanding or mediocre his performance is, the worries of the emperor and court ministers are always with him.

You are too weak. The emperor and ministers think you are mediocre and are worried about handing over the country to you. Brothers will covet your position.

You are too strong. The most uneasy person is the emperor. Power is the devil. It can swallow up too many things, including family affection, love, friendship, and even human nature.

Many emperors liked their princes very much and had high hopes for them in their early stages. For example, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty also liked Yang Yong at the beginning, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty particularly liked Liu Zhi at the beginning, and Kangxi loved his princes very much, and he was very fond of them...

In the end, it was they who personally sent their children to hell.

How could Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty never think that his future self would kill his beloved prince? No one could think of it, except Liu Han and Shu Yuzhu who had traveled through time.

Liu Juyou resigned helplessly. Looking at his leaving figure, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a little angry, but he did not scold him in person. After he left, he said loudly: "The son is not like the father, so what can you do?"

"Aha!" Wei Zifu smiled awkwardly, "Your Majesty, Ju'er is still young, and he still doesn't understand your Majesty's talents and strategies."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was lying on the bed, and Wei Zifu pulled down the curtain on the side.

"Don't cover for him."

Perhaps out of anger, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sat up again and said, "I was determined to defeat the Xiongnu when I was less than ten years old. I am even younger than him. I don't understand why the son I gave birth to has such a cowardly virtue and is not like me at all." .”

Fortunately, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not have to help his children with homework like later generations of parents. Otherwise, he would have been so angry that he would have simply deposed the prince and started training again.

"Even your Wei family's bravery and good fighting skills have not been passed down at all."

Wei Zifu could only smile, and stepped forward to squeeze Emperor Wu's thigh, "Look at what you said, Ju'er is still young after all, and the next generation of Your Majesty has overspent the accumulated blessings of several generations. Where can you tell me to find and talk to Your Majesty?" Where is your identical son?"

If Liu Zhi was really like Han Wu, the disaster of witchcraft might have been rewritten. Even though Liu Zhi, who had no military power, relied on his prestige and tens of thousands of prisoners to fight in Chang'an for several days, and Chang'an was bleeding profusely, he was defeated in the end.

"Okay, okay, go to sleep. I still hope that each generation will become stronger than the last."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty originally wanted to contribute to human reproduction with Wei Zifu, but Liu Zhi was so angry that he lost his mood.

Parents are the same throughout the ages. Many of them are very satisfied with their children when they first look at them. They are babies, a gift from God...

As time goes by, I am dissatisfied with this and that, and I am always talking about other people’s children.

Sometimes, when the child has found a partner, he will still wonder, why does such a good girl fall in love with this little kid from my family?

In fact, in history, Liu Zhi was quite good, with a kind, generous, gentle and prudent personality. He will most likely be a wise king in the future, like Fusu.

Unfortunately, Fusu's ending seems to foreshadow his ending.
