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

Chapter 295 There is a man in Weitian, and the purple is flickering

Thirty years of Jianwu

Since the last time the Xiongnu and Xianbei invaded Liaodong and were defeated by the Liaodong prefect Ji Xu and the entire army was wiped out, Xianbei has been afraid of the Han Dynasty ever since.

Later, Xianbei sent envoys to Luoyang to express his willingness to surrender to the Han and began to pay tribute. Liu Xiu then established the Xianbei Governor in Liaodong to handle affairs within Xianbei.

September
Xianbei lords Yu Qiuben, Mantou and others led all the Xianbei nobles to Luoyang to congratulate Liu Xiu, indicating that Xianbei officially surrendered to the Han. Liu Xiu was granted the title of King of Xianbei by Qiuben, and Mantou was granted the title of Marquis of Guihan.

The second year of Jianwu Zhongyuan (the thirty-third year of Jianwu)
There was a small country in the east that came across the ocean to meet with the Celestial Empire. Liu Xiu received an envoy from the small country in the east. The envoy expressed his willingness to become a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. He would serve as vassal and pay tribute to the Han Dynasty for generations, and asked the Han Emperor to grant him a name.

Liu Xiu saw that he was short and no bigger than the Han people's neck, so he regarded "Japanese" as his people and gave him "Japanese country". And "granting seals and ribbons" to the Japanese.

The Japanese envoy was overjoyed and asked the Emperor of the Han Dynasty to grant him a title. Liu Xiu granted him the title of "King of Japanese Nu" and a gold seal engraved with "King of Han Wei Nu".

After waiting for the Japanese envoy to bring the gold seal back to the country and hand it over to the Japanese king, the entire Japanese nation was overjoyed because it had been canonized by a great power.

February
Han Emperor Liu Xiu died in the front hall of Luoyang South Palace at the age of sixty-two.

Before his death, Liu Xiu left an edict: "I have done no good to the people. My future affairs will be in accordance with Emperor Xiaowen's system, and we must be frugal. The governors and two thousand officials from all over the country should not leave the city where they are, nor should they harm the national power faction." Officials may send letters of condolence via e-mail."

March
Prince Liu Zhuang succeeded to the throne in Gaomiao, and the officials gave Liu Xiu the posthumous title "Guangwu", making him the Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Guangwu revived the Han Dynasty in troubled times, and his achievements were comparable to those of Gaozu and Emperor Wu. Therefore, with the joint decision of the ministers and princes and kings, a temple was built and the name of the temple was "Shizu". The full name is Emperor Guangwu, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. Buried in the original mausoleum.

Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu had joined the army from Nanyang with his brother. He had been a soldier for a long time and was tired of fighting. He also knew that the country was exhausted and wasted, so he wanted to take off his burden and relax.

Therefore, after pacifying Long and Shu, the situation was not urgent, so we seldom talked about the use of troops, and devoted all our thoughts to governing the country.

Every morning when I go to work, the shadow of the sun stops setting. He summoned ministers, ministers, and generals many times to discuss the principles of the scriptures, and did not go to bed until midnight.

Although Liu Xiu defeated other dragons vying for the world and became the great treasure, he always behaved cautiously, fearing that he would make some mistakes and cause irreparable harm to the country.

That's why he had a clear and prudent understanding of political affairs. During the thirty-two years of his rule, he took full control of the power, judged the time and efforts, and was completely faultless in everything he did and said.

He did not treat the meritorious ministers who followed him to conquer the world unkindly. Instead, in order to protect them, he bestowed great honors on them. He knew that governing the country required civilian officials, not military attachés, so he relieved these military attachés from their duties and appointed civilian officials to handle state affairs.

After the world was peaceful, he ordered the weapons to be collected, the soldiers to be streamlined, and the horses to be released to Nanshan. Although the way of governing the country cannot be compared with that of the ancient sages, after all, it still relies on fighting with force and emphasizing civilized governance.

He treated the people as gently as the spring breeze, and treated corrupt officials and lawless powerful people as coldly as the severe winter. Under his governance, the powerful people did not dare to act recklessly, the people were cultivated and protected, talented officials were promoted and appointed, and those without virtue were Criticized and dismissed from office.

After taking over the world, he did not use troops against the surrounding foreigners at will. Instead, he used gentle methods to appease them, but he did not give in blindly.

If the aliens invaded, he would beat them black and blue. If the aliens wanted to make good friends, he would send envoys to dispel their concerns. Therefore, with this series of benevolent and powerful means, the surrounding alien races that had separated since Xinmang were basically reunited. Returning to the embrace of the Han Dynasty, only the Western Region has not been resolved due to strength reasons.

This is the son of destiny who calmed down the troubled times, the unrivaled king who saved China, the ninth grandson of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, the Liu family's descendant who revived the Han Dynasty, and the Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, the founder of the Han Dynasty.

October
An obituary came from the Bai Kingdom. King Bai Shi passed away at the age of ninety-four. According to the posthumous title provided by the Bai Kingdom, it was agreed that the posthumous title would be "Guangcheng", which was King Bai Guangcheng. Bai Qi, the eldest son of the Bai Kingdom, inherited the throne and received With the approval of the imperial court, he was canonized.

【Descent】

Wu Zu (aged fifty-five years): Si’s surname was Bai Shizhen [last words]: Wu’er didn’t expect that, treat your retainers well.

Xiangzu (aged sixty-three): His surname was Bai Shiwu. [Last words]: Come on, Huan'er! Pay attention to the inheritance of the school.

Huan Zu (aged forty-one): Si’s surname was Bai, Huan’s last words: Ji Xia, you are a cheat, you TXX.

···
Ancestor Wending (aged ninety-six years): Si's surname was Bai Shiguan. [Last words]: The dynasty has been changing for hundreds of years, and the Bai family has been for tens of thousands of years.

Guangchengzu (aged ninety-four): Si's surname was Bai's family. [Last words]: The second rise of the Liu family is destiny.

Bai Shi is the second son of Bai Guan, and his mother is the same as his late son, Bai Xuan, Duke of Han Dynasty. Bai Xuan was originally scheduled to be the successor of the Bai Kingdom, but Bai Xuan died while pursuing the road of greatness, and Bai Shi had to replace Bai Xuan to inherit the Bai Kingdom.

Bai Qi is Bai Xuan's legitimate son. Bai Shi was unwilling to inherit the throne of King Bai and liked to study mathematics. However, Bai Xuan died young, so Bai Guan was pulled to the throne.

In the eyes of the Bai family, the position of the head of the family, that is, the position of the Bai King, is like a shackle, binding him to the Bai Kingdom. If there is no important matter, he cannot take a step outside the Bai Kingdom, even the Bai Mansion and Chaoge. Since the White House succeeded to the throne, the White House has only been out three times, Chaoge has only been out twice, and the Bai Kingdom has only been out once, which was the banquet hosted by Emperor Guangwu in Handan.

Therefore, the Bai family does not desire the throne as much as the royal family, because if they are not King Bai or the head of the family, they can still enjoy the glory of the Bai family and realize their desires.

Therefore, Bai Shi did not pass the throne to his own son, but to Bai Xuan's son. Because the throne and the position of the head of the family originally belonged to Bai Qi.

The second year of Yongping
At this time, two years had passed since Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne. Liu Zhuang loved Confucianism, and due to Liu Xiu's long-term teachings, he was deeply influenced by him in preventing the chaos of foreign relatives and local tyrants.

Therefore, after Liu Zhuang succeeded to the throne, in addition to continuing to pursue various policies implemented during the reign of Emperor Guangwu to consolidate the rule of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu changed his past tolerant attitude towards his relatives. Anyone who violated Han law, no matter who he was Relatives, even my own relatives, will not indulge.

Liu Zhuang followed Emperor Guangwu's order to paint twenty-eight paintings in Yuntai. Among them were Taifu Deng Yu, Wu Han, Jia Fu, Geng Yan, Kou Xun, Cen Peng, Feng Yi, Zhu You, Bai He, Ji and others. Zun and other twenty-eight people followed Emperor Guangwu to pacify the world.

However, his father-in-law Ma Yuan was not allowed to receive any income, just because he was the father of his queen. This gave the ministers a signal that he wanted to restrict and restrain his relatives.

In order to control the government, as soon as Liu Zhuang came to power, he brought representatives of the tripartite groups into the court and appointed Deng Yu, who represented the meritorious group, as Taifu; he issued an edict to summon his younger brother Liu Cang, King of Dongping, who represented the clan group, as a hussar general; he promoted representatives A veteran of the former bureaucracy, Shangshu Ling Bai Li was appointed Taiwei.

Today's government is not like the previous Han Dynasty, where the emperor was subordinated to the Three Dukes, who controlled the government. Instead, the emperor directed the foreign dynasties through the Shangshutai, which contained Cao Shangshu, who was responsible for all the government offices of the foreign dynasties.

In the outer dynasty, Taifu was the superior, and Taiwei, Situ, and Sikong were the three Dukes. Taifu was often asked to record ministerial affairs and participate in internal court decision-making.

However, the Taifu did not have the right to rule the three princes. He mainly wanted to teach the emperor about Confucianism, but Liu Zhuang still loved Confucianism.

The appointment of Deng Yu as Taifu was just to appease the meritorious group, because Deng Yu was not recorded as a minister.

In the foreign dynasty, the Taiwei led the three ministers Taichang, Weiwei and Guangluxun; the Situ led the three ministers Taipu, Honglu and Tingwei; the Sikong led the three ministers Zongzheng, Shaofu and Sinong.

However, if he is not recorded as a minister, Sangong is no different from a vase.

June
Liu Zhuang inspected the west and went to Chang'an to worship at the Gaodi Temple and the Eleven Tombs. Visit the guest houses, summon county and county officials, offer condolences and entertainment.

September
Liu Zhuang personally discussed with Liu Cang, King of Dongping, and imitated the Zhou rites, formulated rituals for worshiping heaven, earth and ancestors, and established a system of carriages and uniforms for the emperor, princes, and officials according to rank.

After the discussion with the Confucian masters was completed, he issued an edict: "Yousi and others immediately restored the crown system with reference to ancient books such as "Zhou Guan", "Book of Rites", and "Shang Shu Gaotao Pian".

October
A secretary submitted a written system, and Liu Zhuang reviewed it and agreed, confirming the rules of the crown: the crown boards are seven inches wide, one foot and two inches long, rounded at the front and back, the top of the crown board is dark black, the inside of the crown board is vermilion green, the front Four inches hanging down and three inches hanging back. The emperor tied the white jade beads into twelve strings, and composed the tassel with the colors of the ribbons.

The princes and princes of the Three Kingdoms have seven strands, and the sapphires are pearls; the ministers and ministers have five strands, and the black jade is pearls. They all have a front and no back, and each uses the color of its ribbon to make a tassel, with a ribbon hanging on the side. When offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, ancestral temples and Mingtang, wear a crown.

As early as the reign of Emperor Guangwu, there were signs of recovery in the Mianqi system.

When Emperor Guangwu hosted a banquet for King Bai Guangcheng in Handan, in order to reflect the majesty of the royal family in front of the long-standing Bai Kingdom, the design of the banquet and clothing mostly used ancient systems, and even used the Emperor's Twelve Stripes for the first time after the Qin Dynasty. Mianqi.

Now, Liu Zhuang has identified it as a system, making the Han family's system more perfect.

November

Liu Zhuang sent envoys to sacrifice pigs and sheep to Xiao He and Huo Guang to show respect for the two heroes who assisted the Han Dynasty.

In the same month, Liu Zhuang's carriage patrolled Hedong, and rewarded the county magistrates, county magistrates, and officials below 2,000 stone in the places he passed. Bai Xu, the Crown Prince of Bai Kingdom, came to court with gifts on behalf of Bai Kingdom. Liu Zhuang was very happy and gave Bai Kingdom a set of bronze musical instruments used by the royal family.

December

Dou Lin, a relative of Sikong Dourong, the founding hero of the People's Republic of China, and Dou Lin, the guardian of the Qiang army, was imprisoned and sentenced to death by Liu Zhuang for the crime of "deceiving the emperor, neglecting his superiors, taking bribes and perverting the law."

Then Dou Rong was criticized for his lax discipline on his children. He issued several edicts to punish him and dismissed Dou Rong from office.

The Queen Mother Yin Lihua's relative, Yin Feng, son of Shaofu Qing Yinjiu, one of the Nine Qings, spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, Princess Liyi. Liu Zhuang was furious and ordered a strict investigation into Yinfeng's affairs, regardless of his relative's identity.

In the end, Yin Feng and his beloved concubine were executed, and Shaofu Qing Yin committed suicide.
