A thousand-year-old family that began with the Battle of Makino

Chapter 174 Conflict between Han and Hungary, Marquis Xiuwu is seriously ill
March

Disciples from various sects gathered in the Juxian Pavilion, but Han Emperor, the leader of each sect, did not let them come. He only sent his disciples to show his respect for the great sages.

The Emperor of Han did not come in person, but sent his doctor Ling Bai Jun to announce his will on his behalf.

Bai Jun stood on the high platform where the Han Emperor sat before. He was dressed in the court uniform of a Han Dynasty civil servant. The two clusters of white feathers on his crown and hat showed his dignity. Hundreds of disciples from various schools below were waiting respectfully. With Bai Jun's declaration.

Seeing that people were almost there, Bai Jun slowly opened a roll of yellow cloth and announced loudly:

"The Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Fengtian, said: I have heard that the country of Haotian must be governed by culture and military preparation, and both are indispensable. Now that the Han Dynasty has just been established, the people's livelihood is in decline. In a hundred miles of land, there are not enough people to live in a thousand households. What's more, there are not even a thousand households in a hundred miles. It was deserted.

I was heartbroken and constantly inspected my body, and I realized that the rule of law was ineffective, the people were disrespectful, and there was no place to eat. This led to the debate at Juxian Pavilion in Chang'an this month. I summoned the wise men from all over the world to gather in Chang'an. After a month of debate, I finally came to a conclusion.

When I established the Imperial Academy, I hope that everyone in the Han Dynasty will know the etiquette and abide by the law, so that the people will have enough food and clothing. Therefore, I have established sixty doctors. I hope that you will not be stingy with your knowledge and pass on all the skills of the sages, so that the literary style of the Han Dynasty will flourish. The people are happy.

Today there are doctors who are: Zheng Shi, a native of Gaomi, Beihai County, Shusun Tong, a native of Xue County, Lu State... Zhou He, a native of Mayi, Yanmen County.

Now Taixue has approved scriptures: "Spring and Autumn", "Poetry", "Shangshu", "Book of Changes", "Zhuang Zhou", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Rites", "Tao Te Ching", "Criminal Code", "Han Code", "Zongheng"... a total of one One hundred and eight parts.

like a story"

"The common people have thanked His Majesty the Emperor!" Hundreds of disciples from various schools in the hall bowed to accept the canonization of the Han Emperor on behalf of their teachers, and then entrusted the eunuchs holding doctor's robes and doctor's jade orders to follow them to be appointed doctors. The great virtuous chamber.

Confucianists who were appointed doctors accounted for one-third, Taoists accounted for one-third, and the remaining legalists, military strategists, political strategists, Mohists, etc. accounted for the remaining one-third.

Among Confucians, White Confucianism accounts for two-thirds, and other schools account for the remaining one-third. Among Taoists, the Taoist school that studies governance in the Taoist Scriptures accounts for two-thirds. Those who advocate self-cultivation and prefer sects, such as the Taihang Baide Tianshi Temple, only account for less than one-third.

The scholars who were successfully appointed as doctors stayed in Chang'an with their disciples, while the others returned to their families, and the city of Chang'an fell into peace again.

March 25
The first batch of 600 Taixue students entered Taixue and began their three-year Taixue career. Among them are the children of various major families, the descendants of noble lords Che, the descendants of princes and kings, and the descendants of various ministers.
There were very few civilians born, and it was the counties and counties that promoted filial piety and integrity to the central government. Seeing that these were peasant disciples, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty was grateful for their filial piety, so he allowed them to study in Taixue.

October th
The Han Emperor's first son, Liu Gong, the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, was born, along with a princess named Liu Ying.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was very happy and ordered a general amnesty for the whole country. He also rewarded women who gave birth on this day with ten stones of grain and five pieces of cloth.

November

King Youxian of the Xiongnu invaded Yanmen County and Dai County. Because the governor and captain of Yanmen County were immersed in the interests of trading with the Huns, they relaxed their defenses against the Huns. The Huns took advantage of the momentum to break through the pass and galloped all the way into the Great Wall. The Han people burned, killed and looted wantonly, and then rushed into Dai County, catching the army of King Dai by surprise.

The Han Emperor consecrated Nangong Guard Ling Bai Yu as a Chariot and Cavalry General. He led an army of 100,000 to expel the invading Huns and garrisoned the Great Wall to defend against the Huns. Immediately afterwards, he ordered the removal of the governor and captain of Yanmen County, and escorted him back to Chang'an for questioning. He appointed new capable ministers and distinguished men with martial arts skills as the new governor and captain of Yanmen County.

He also sent a letter of accountability to the acting king Liu Heng, asking him to defend the city with all his strength and wait for the arrival of the Central Army. After receiving the letter of accountability, Liu Heng, the acting king, felt unlucky, but had no choice but to order the walls to be fortified and the fields to be cleared. All ministries strictly guarded the city and were not allowed to go out at will.

November 30
When the imperial army arrived, the Huns had already withdrawn from the way they came, and the central army was completely defeated. Bai Yu had no choice but to regroup the remaining defeated generals. He first killed some generals who were timid before the battle and took the lead in escaping.
Then he promoted the generals who defended the city, successfully rebuilt the defense line, and then reported back to Chang'an about the situation.

After receiving Bai Yu's reply, Emperor Han immediately held a court meeting to discuss how to deal with it.

In the end, it was concluded that it was not easy to fight the Huns now, and the domestic recovery situation was finally formed. However, the Han Emperor had no choice but to agree.

First, he sent a letter to Dai Kingdom, explaining the cause and effect of the matter, and then agreed with Liu Heng's successful defense against the Huns, and appointed King Dai's biological mother as the Queen Mother of Dai Kingdom. He also rewarded him and expressed the central government's appreciation for him. Then he publicized to the princes all over the world the achievements of the king in preventing the Huns from wreaking havoc in the past few years to show his honor. Liu Heng also felt the care of his elder brother, so he tried his best to guard against the Huns.

The other princes and kings surnamed Liu were relieved when they saw this, and they all thought that this brother would not treat them like Empress Lu, so they no longer paid attention to Chang'an, but focused on the development of their own territories, which also promoted the development of the princes' countries. develop.

After appeasing his brothers, the Han Emperor ordered to revoke the command and jurisdiction of the border counties over the Great Wall defense line. He only asked them to provide logistics for the Great Wall defense line. He divided the Great Wall into multiple sections.

The defense line of the Great Wall from Longxi County to the northern part of Beidi County is in charge of the Great Wall Western General's Office, and its commander is General Changxi, with a troop strength of 30,000; 30,000; the defense line from Shangjun to Yanmen County is in charge of the Eastern General's Office of the Great Wall. The commander is General Changdong, with 40,000 troops. Further east, King Dai and King Yan were in charge. Originally there were Jiuyuan County and Yunzhong County in the Hetao area during the Qin Dynasty, but they were occupied by the Huns at the end of Qin and the beginning of Han Dynasty. In addition, the central government implemented a conservative policy towards the Huns. Now they have all been abandoned, and the Han Dynasty had to shrink. Line of defense.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty appointed Li Bo, the governor of Longxi County, as the general of Changxi, Shi Kuangxuan, the governor of Beidi, as the general of Changzhong, and Ling Baiyu, the guard of Nangong of the Southern Army, as the general of Changdong.

Later, he wrote to the Great Chanyu of the Xiongnu, asking why the Xiongnu violated the treaty between Han and Xiongnu and invaded the Han land. Don't the Xiongnu people not be trustworthy, and they don't even believe in the Immortal Heaven?

When Mao Dun received the letter of credence from the Han Emperor, his face became very ugly, because this southern invasion was not his original intention. It was King Youxian who acted on his own initiative. However, he had to suffer the loss of being dumb and wrote back to the Han Emperor:
"What happened here was not the intention of the Great Chanyu. It was caused by the herdsmen tribes who suffered from the snowstorm in the country without authorization. The Great Chanyu of the Xiongnu is very sorry for this. He hereby apologizes to the Emperor of Han and hopes not to cause any conflict between the two countries. The friendship is broken, and in view of this, the Great Chanyu can ask for less of the annual gifts from Han to the Xiongnu."

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty wrote back: "Since this was not the intention of the Xiongnu Great Chanyu, then I, a big man, believe it. As for giving less gifts, there is no need. The amount set by the emperor is the amount. I, a big man, will not be able to take even this little thing." I just hope that Your Majesty the Great Chanyu can take good care of his subordinates, otherwise the Han and Hungarian countries will start a war over some trivial matters, and the gains will outweigh the losses."

When Mao Dun saw that the Han people did not reduce the tribute, he was relieved. At the same time, he became increasingly dissatisfied with King Youxian. He ordered that King Youxian be deprived of three thousand tents for violating the orders of the Great Chanyu, hoping that all ministries would take a warning.

King Youxian did not disobey the Great Chanyu's order. After all, Mao Dun's prestige on the grassland was too high at this time. And this time, seeing that Mao Dun was old, he wanted to test it. Now it seems that Mao Dun's lineage is still there. No rights have been lost, it seems the only option is to wait.

After resolving this Han-Hungarian conflict, the Han Emperor also breathed a sigh of relief. If a fight really broke out, although the Han Dynasty would not necessarily be defeated, the domestic policies and systems would definitely be in vain because of the war.

The sixth year of Emperor Han's reign
March
Wei Wei, Xiu Wuhou, wrote that he was old and his health was deteriorating due to the war in his early years, making it difficult for him to take up the position of a guard. He hoped to return to Chaoge to recuperate his health.

Bai Wei is fifty-one years old this year. Logically speaking, he is not too old. Compared with other ministers in their fifties and sixties, he should be considered young. However, due to his many years of military career and many births and deaths, he is In the previous battle with Xiang Yu in the south, the internal injuries on his body never healed, and then he accompanied Liu Bang on Baishan Mountain to enjoy the wind and snow.

Now all the hidden wounds on his body have appeared, and every time the temperature drops, he feels excruciating pain on the bed. Otherwise, if he attacks the Xiongnu from the north this time, it will not be Bai Yu but Bai Wei who goes out to attack.

The Emperor of Han repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but Bai Wei wrote that his health was indeed unable to continue working, so the Emperor of Han had no choice but to accept Bai Wei's resignation and appointed Xia Houying as a guard.

Ten months later, Bai Wei returned to Chaoge, and Bai Qing personally went out of the city to greet him. When he saw this brother who was younger than himself, he now looked like an old man in his sixties or seventies, with sparse hair and a haggard face, and he felt a sudden surge in his heart. Tu, without saying much, just stepped forward to hold his hand and got into his car. Instead of going back to Bai Wei's mansion, he went straight to Bai's mansion.

Because now the place with the richest medical resources is not the Taiyuan Hospital in Chang'an, but the Physician's Mansion in Bai Kingdom, a college that specializes in training doctors, and there are various masters of medicine in it.

The master of the doctor's house was called. The old man felt his pulse, looked at his tongue and eyeballs, listened to his lungs, and then had Bai Wei's feces and urine brought over for observation. After a series of inspections, the palace master sighed:

"Perhaps my medical skills are not good, and Marquis Xiuwu is already terminally ill. I am really helpless and can only prescribe some prescriptions to stabilize the condition, which may allow Marquis Xiuwu to survive this winter."

Bai Qing looked at Bai Wei who kept coughing. He was such a dazzling and famous general, but now he was tortured by the disease on the bed, waiting for the judgment of fate.

Not only Bai Wei couldn't accept it, but Bai Qing couldn't accept it either. Holding back his tears, he almost begged the palace master and asked: "Is there really no other way?"

The master of the palace looked at Bai Qing, the lord of a country. In his eyes, besides the Han Emperor, the most noble person in the world, he could be so humble for his relatives. He couldn't bear it, but what else could he do?

By the way, there seems to be a way. The palace master thought of someone, but he was a little hesitant. Seeing the palace master's hesitation, Bai Qing immediately said: "No matter what method, I am willing to give it a try!"

The master of the palace had no choice but to say: "There is a man named Bian Hong in our doctor's palace. He claims to be a descendant of Bian Que and came to the doctor's palace to study. Although I don't know whether what he said is right, his talent is very intelligent and rare in a hundred years." As soon as we met, he learned medical skills instantly and got started very quickly. However, he was very weird and his medical skills were different from ours.

We usually use medicinal materials orally to make patients recover, but he didn’t know where he saw that iron needles can be used to treat diseases, so he created his own golden needle technique, saying that he learned it from his ancestor Bian Que, but we all think that This had no effect, and many famous doctors disdained him and were angry that he had given up his talent.
He was obviously just over thirty years old, and his medical skills were on par with ours, but he fell in love with evil ways. Wouldn't it be a waste of talent? In the end, the two sides became more and more disagreeable, and he left with one of his adopted disciples. , saying that he wanted to prove to the world that his golden needle technique was not a crooked way. "

Bai Qing asked: "Where is this person?"

The master of the palace said: "I heard that he is currently in Yanmen County, using his acupuncture techniques to help the victims!"

Bai Qing didn't say much, just thanked the palace master. After returning the gift, the palace master walked out slowly, carrying the medicine box on his back. Bai Qing immediately returned to the house, wrote everything on the cloth, and then sent it to Bai Yu who was stationed in Yanmen County.
