Chapter 21 Liu Heng’s achievements

[In 177 BC, Liu Xingju, the grandson of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and son of Liu Fei, King of Jibei, rebelled, which marked the beginning of the war between the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty. 】

[Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty sent troops to suppress the rebels. The rebels collapsed at the first sight, and Liu Xingju was captured and committed suicide. 】

[In 174 BC, King Liu Chang of Huainan rebelled, was deposed from the throne, and was assigned to Shu County. On the way, Liu Chang went on hunger strike and died. 】

[In 168 BC, the law requiring documents to be shown when entering and exiting customs was abolished. 】

[In 167 BC, corporal punishment was abolished and replaced by flogging and cane punishment. 】

[In the same year, all land rents were exempted, and thirty taxes were made custom-made. 】

[In 158 BC, all mountains, forests, rivers and swamps originally belonging to the country were opened to the public, allowing private mining of minerals, utilization and development of fish and salt resources. 】

[In 157 BC, Liu Heng died in Weiyang Palace and was buried in Ba Ling. His posthumous name is "Wen" and his temple name is Taizong! 】

[Liu Heng has been in power for 24 years, and all the chariots and uniforms have not been added. 】

[And he repeatedly issued edicts prohibiting counties and states from donating rare treasures. 】

[The clothes I usually wear are made of rough cloth. 】

[He gave the order before his death: "The mountains and rivers of Baling must not be changed for their own sake." Therefore, Baling did not build a tall and conspicuous seal. 】

[He was also the first emperor to require that his tomb be kept simple and not covered with earth because he paid attention to people's livelihood. 】

[And Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty's efforts to govern, his virtues of generosity and thrift, and his love for the people and agriculture also had a profound impact on later generations. 】

[The posthumous title "Wen" was pulled from the etiquette and law to the point of being superior to the "posthumous title" of others. The aspiring emperors of later generations all wanted to leave the beautiful posthumous title of "Wen" after their death. 】

……

Big man,

Liu Bang, who was sitting at the top, was thoughtful, Lu Pheasant, who was beside him, had an expressionless face, and Liu Ying, who was sitting next to him, looked relieved.

"I've given the order to send the king to Chang'an!"

After hearing this edict, Lu Pheasant's face instantly turned very ugly, while all the ministers had their own thoughts.

According to Tianmu's information, it was learned that the queen took power after the prince gave up the throne, and the Zhulu rebellion occurred after the prince's death.

The ministers, who were as smart as monkeys, instantly understood what this meant.

The queen must have arranged family members in the court, and there were even many people with high official positions.

Otherwise, the words "Zhu" and "Luan" would not be used.

So here’s the problem, the official positions in the court are all filled with holes.

The number of ministers who have risen to power will be as many as the number of ministers who have risen to power.

Who can guarantee that it is “voluntary”?
  A group of old Yinbi had thoughts in their minds, but no one moved.

Because someone will move.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

The Crown Prince and Tutor Shusuntong suddenly stood up.

Liu Bang saw Shusun Tong jumping out and immediately started talking.

"What do you have to report, Master?"

Lu Pheasant on the side watched this scene with squinted eyes.

Shusun Tong knelt on his knees, kowtowed and said:

"I have failed your majesty's trust and failed to teach the prince properly. This has caused the prince to suffer so much when he is in power. I feel very sad!"

"I have no face to see Your Majesty, please resign from the position of Crown Prince and Tutor! Become a farm servant!"

"Your Majesty, please give me permission!"

When Liu Ying heard this, she panicked. Just as she was about to get up and get out of the queue, someone grabbed her sleeve tightly!
  When I looked back, I saw it was Chen Ping.

At this moment of confusion,

Liu Bang, who was still at the top, hurriedly went down the steps to help Shusun Tong.

Holding Shusuntong's hand with both hands, he said with tears in his eyes:
  "Why do you have to be so humble, Taifu! It's me, the father, who didn't teach the prince well. I spent less time with the prince and separated more. I should have cared for you all the time, but everything was left to the queen to take care of. The queen is busy with affairs and has to teach the prince. It's really It’s very hard! But it’s all my fault! It has nothing to do with you!”

Then he looked at the ministers and said loudly:
  "The queen and I have decided to shut ourselves up and reflect on our mistakes!"

"The affairs of the court are temporarily in the hands of the Prime Minister!"

When the ministers were about to speak, Liu Bang waved his hand and said:
  "No need to say more! I have made up my mind! Let's continue watching the sky!"

After saying that, he sat back down and Shusun Tong sat back down.

Except for Lu Pheasant, whose face was as dark as water, Liu Ying was confused and confused.

It's like nothing happened.

……

[Emperor Wen not only made many achievements in people's livelihood, but also established effective defensive measures against the Xiongnu. 】

[At that time, although the Xiongnu agreed on a peace and marriage policy with the Han, they did not abide by the peace and marriage agreement and repeatedly violated the border. Once the Han army gathered, the Xiongnu retreated. At that time, the Han Dynasty was in ruins and was unable to send out troops to attack the Xiongnu. 】

[Chao Cuo, who was the prince's family magistrate at the time, wrote to Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty to implement the strategy of "recruiting people to strengthen the border". 】

[Build cities in the border areas, recruit people from the interior to move to the border areas, farm the fields, and guard against the Huns. 】

[More than a thousand households will be relocated to each city, and all the people will be given free farming tools, clothes, and food by the court until they can be self-sufficient. 】

[The common people who moved to the border areas were organized according to the military establishment. Carry out training at ordinary times, and be able to respond to the enemy in case of trouble. 】 【And it is clearly stated that anyone who resists the Huns' invasion and regains the wealth plundered by the Huns will be rewarded by the government with half of their wealth according to the price. Emperor Wen of Han adopted this strategy. 】

[In addition, Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty also established 36 horse gardens in the border areas, distributing them in the north and west, employing 3 official slaves and raising 30 horses. 】

[At the same time, among the people, people are rewarded for raising horses to meet the demand for horses for border defense. 】

[These measures changed the system of single rotation of garrison, which not only facilitated the development of border counties but also strengthened the defense force against the Xiongnu. Moreover, it did not affect the people's rest and recuperation, allowing the social economy of the Han Dynasty to recover and develop rapidly. 】

[This also laid the foundation for the later Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to completely eliminate the Xiongnu. 】

……

Big man,

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Looking at the words on the marquee, Liu Bang couldn't stop laughing!

Enter your mother! Finally let Nai Gong wait for useful news!
  "Xiao He! What do you think of this policy? Can we use it now?"

The excited Liu Bang ran directly to Xiao He's desk and sat down, pointing at the sky and asked excitedly.

And Xiao He was also calculating silently.

"Your Majesty, this strategy is feasible, but it needs to be changed."

Xiao He pondered for a while and then spoke.

"Change? Change what?"

Liu Bang wondered, how good is this policy? What else should be changed?
  Facing Liu Bang's doubts, Xiao He said calmly.

"Your Majesty, the reason why Emperor Heng... Dai... Wen made such arrangements is because the previous policies have restored some vitality to the people."

"But our current situation is very bad."

Liu Bang sounded a little impatient.

"Just tell me what to do! You are Xiao He!"

Xiao He glanced helplessly at Liu Bang, who was trying to act rogue again.

"Your Majesty, it is temporarily impossible to move a thousand households. Not to mention that it is difficult to leave the homeland and the people are hungry and cold. We don't have that many people who can move to the border areas."

Liu Bang sat on the ground, holding his hands back and crossing his legs. "Then what do you think we should do?"

"Your Majesty, first reduce taxes and let the people have enough to eat. After five years, we will implement the policy of recruiting people to strengthen the border."

"But at this time, we can first let the soldiers guarding the border 'get half of the wealth'"

"Your Majesty must not imitate Emperor Qin."

After Liu Bang heard this, he stood up, patted his butt and left.

"Isn't it just five years? Ten years will do! I'm not in a hurry!"

"Just in time to see which descendant of Emperor Wu is!"

"Hahahaha! Not bad! I am a big man with both civil and military skills! Hahahaha!"

……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
  "Emperor Wu? Who could Emperor Wu be?"

Liu Heng looked at the sky and thought.

Suddenly, the image of the prince swinging the chessboard flashed through his mind.

"Is it Qi'er?"

Hearing Liu Heng's hopeful words, Dou Yifang's mind flashed to the way Liu Qi looked at a doting concubine and giggled.

"impossible."

……

The period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty
  "Emperor Wu, who is Emperor Wu?"

Liu Qi looked at the sky and thought.

"Could it be Cheer?"

Queen Wang, who was lying in Liu Qi's arms, said with expectation.

Liu Qi thought for a moment about Liu Che, who started to work in the house at the age of seven.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Liu Qi immediately denied it.

"It has only been 30 years since my father succeeded to the throne. Even if Cheer succeeded to the throne and was crowned, it has only been years."

"In fifty years, how can there be so much money to support Cheer Dang to eliminate the Huns."

"It's probably only possible with Che'er's son."

Liu Qi's estimate was very consistent with common sense. Queen Wang also felt that it was very reasonable and couldn't help but sigh.

Che'er can become the prince in a safe way, and then he can become the emperor in a safe way.

It’s better not to think too much.

 Emperor Wen of Han was also an idol-level emperor among emperors.
