"Five Poems in Praise of Ancient Monuments Part 3"
The mountains and valleys go to Jingmen, and there is a village of Mingfei.
Once we go to Zitai and Shuo Desert, we will only leave the green tomb facing the dusk.
Draw a picture to understand the spring breeze, wear a ring in the sky to return to the moonlit night soul.
For thousands of years, the pipa has been playing nonsense, and there is clear resentment in the music.
This poem was written by the great poet Du Fu who lamented that Zhaojun married a Xiongnu and got married. The poem is implicit and thought-provoking. "Once you leave the purple terrace and connect to the desert, leaving only the green tomb facing the dusk", these two sentences are so sad and sad that people can't bear to hear them.
Literati and poets of all ages have written lamentations about the women who married the Huns, complaining that the court placed the burden of history on the young shoulders of women. As time goes by, especially in the 21st century, many historians try their best to prove the inevitability and necessity of "marriage", using the wheels of history to crush personal emotions. Today, some people who claim to be historians try their best to express the happiness of "marriage" women, saying that "marriage" escapes the lonely life of a palace maid. How can this statement be responsible?
Peacemaking is a diplomatic strategy of the Han Dynasty, so who proposed this strategy? What’s the deeper meaning?
Since Liu Bang suffered the humiliation of Bai Deng, he immediately transferred his troops from Pingcheng, leaving Liu Zhong (Liu Xi) and Fan Kuai to guard the Imperial Dai County. Liu Zhong was named Dai King, and Fan Kuai was appointed as a general to assist Liu Zhong. Fan Kuai was unstoppable and a fierce general; Liu Zhong had no ability and no courage and could only run away, so he was a loser.
In December, the Xiongnu army came again and attacked the county in one fell swoop. When the Xiongnu army arrived, Liu Zhong abandoned the city without asking for reinforcements and fled back to Luoyang. The battle of Daijun was defeated without a fight, which was really shameful. Liu Bang demoted Liu Zhong to the title of Marquis of Heyang, and named his beloved son Liu Ruyi as acting king. Liu Ruyi's biological mother Qi Ji was very favored by Liu Bang, and Liu Ruyi was similar to Liu Bang. Liu Bang wanted to make Liu Ruyi the crown prince instead. Liu Bang named Liu Ruyi the acting king because he wanted to slowly improve his qualifications and eventually choose a good time to make him the prince.
When Liu Bang returned from Pingcheng, he was depressed and depressed. When he passed the fiefdom of Zhao Wang Zhang Ao, he scolded Zhang Ao until his head was bloody. Zhang Ao was Liu Bang's son-in-law, and he was very polite to Liu Bang, but for some unknown reason, Liu Bang would curse Zhang Ao every time he saw him, as if Zhang Ao was his enemy in the previous life. Zhang Ao's subordinates couldn't stand Liu Bang's swearing, but they couldn't say anything. Since Zhang Ao was incompetent, he could only blame himself for his bad luck when meeting such a father-in-law.
Liu Bang's curse this time made Zhang Ao unable to lift his head. Zhang Ao was Zhang Er's son. The generals left behind by his father were brave, brave, loyal and courageous. Seeing that their master was humiliated, he felt deeply guilty, so he Looking for revenge. Liu Bang, who was happy after scolding, was busy strangling the rebels under King Xin of Han, and did not take the matter of Zhang Ao's men to heart, but this matter of the master's silent anger almost cost Liu Bang's life.
After Liu Bang returned to the court, he was busy hunting down the remnants of Han Wangxin's old troops and ignored the Xiongnu. After killing the remnants of King Xin of Han, Liu Bang returned to Luoyang, but Liu Bang was still tormented by the hatred of the Huns. Liu Zhong was incompetent, and the loss of Daijun made Liu Bang even more unhappy.
One day, Liu Bang asked Lou Jing how to deal with the Xiongnu. Liu Bang remembered that it was because he did not listen to Lou Jing's words that he left the shame of Bai Deng in history. Lou Jing wanted to say something, but was a little scared. Liu Bang asked again and again, and Lou Jingcai said tremblingly: "Now the world has just settled down, production has not resumed, and the soldiers are also tired from the war. We can no longer use force against the world." Dun Na Si, who killed his father and king, showed off his force, made himself king, and even married his own stepmothers as his wives and concubines, is extremely shameless. This kind of person cannot be persuaded by benevolence and righteousness. For the current plan, I think we can only take a long-term plan. , let the descendants of the Huns bow to me, the descendants of the Han Dynasty. However, I am afraid that you are not willing to do this, Your Majesty."
"If it is really useful, there is nothing I can't do. What exactly is your method, and what do you want me to do?"
Liu Bang dared to do everything in the world. This is true.
"As long as the emperor can allow the eldest princess to marry the Xiongnu Chanyu and give generous gifts, barbarians like the Xiongnu will definitely admire the majesty of our Han Dynasty and make the eldest princess the Yan family (the title of the head wife of the Xiongnu Chanyu in the Han Dynasty). The eldest princess is The child she gave birth to will be the prince. After the death of the Chan Yu, the prince will inherit the Chan Yu's position. Besides, the Huns' land is so wild that they must be greedy for the gifts we send and cannot bear to refuse. The emperor gives them a gift every year. Give some gifts and let the eloquent people persuade you. The Huns are stupid and believe it as soon as they hear it. In this situation, if Mao Dun is still alive, he will be your son-in-law; if Mao Dun dies, your grandson will be the Chanyu. Have you heard about your grandson and grandpa fighting against each other? I advise you not to fight with the Huns again. If you continue to fight, the losses will be immeasurable! However, although the marriage plan is effective, if you are not marrying the eldest princess, but If you use daughters from the clan, harem, or even ordinary people's families, then the Huns will know that they are not marrying nobles, and this strategy will be useless."
"Okay, this is a great plan! From now on, I, a man, will have no worries!" Xiang Yu pursued him. For the sake of his life, Liu Bang even gave up his eldest son Liu Ying. Abandoning a daughter now was nothing in Liu Bang's heart.
Lou Jing proposed the marriage because he hoped that his son-in-law would not embarrass his father-in-law, or his grandson would not embarrass his grandfather, or his nephew would not embarrass his uncle, so that his family would have a stable environment for development. Lou Jing's marriage was only a temporary measure, and his fundamental plan lay with the descendants of the Han Dynasty. Lou Jing's proposal was good, but there were problems during its implementation.
Princess Lu Yuan is the eldest princess and has been married for a long time. The person she married is Zhang Ao. Liu Bang never looked directly at Zhang Ao. He ignored Zhang Ao when he was in a good mood, and cursed and cursed him when he was in a bad mood. To Liu Bang, Zhang Ao was an eyesore when he was alive, but nothing when he died. With this good opportunity, Zhang Ao could only be unlucky and follow Liu Bang's wishes even if he didn't want to.
Liu Bang told Lu Pheasant that he wanted to marry the eldest princess. Lu Pheasant was angry and anxious, crying and fussing. Finally, he said resolutely: "I only have one son and one daughter. Why do you want to marry my daughter to the Huns?" , Aren’t you abandoning her? Do you dare to be a father? "
Liu Bang had a big talk with Lu Pheasant, but Lu Pheasant refused to let the eldest princess marry the Huns. Lu Pheasant was determined and strong, and he lost his temper, but Liu Bang was helpless. With no other plan, Liu Bang had to secretly find another woman to pretend to be the eldest princess and marry the Huns. And the person who escorted the fake princess to the Huns was Lou Jing who came up with this plan. But the ideal is beautiful, and the reality is cruel. Lou Jing, who got up from his dream, took the fake princess to go to the Huns to get married.
The marriage was not carried out according to Lou Jing's suggestion, and the marriage changed from the beginning. One emperor after another slowly changed, and finally became a palace maid who married far away. Most of the palace maids came from the common people and lived a miserable life. They were lonely in the palace and it was unspeakable. When it came to marriage, it was natural that sensitive literati often used the topic to express their feelings.
After the marriage, the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu swore to be brothers of Kunzhong, and each side would live in its own place and not invade each other. The Han Dynasty married the princess of the clan to the Xiongnu Chanyu as the Yan family, and presented generous gifts of silk, wine, food and other items. In the Han Dynasty, there were many people and abundant supplies. Giving away gifts to people was like giving away mud, and giving away things was like giving away stones. The court would not be stingy.
The marriage indeed brought intermittent and short-lived peace to the Han Dynasty.
Lou Jing escorted the eldest princess back to get married and said to Liu Bang: "The Xiongnu, Aries and Loufan tribes are very close to Chang'an, only 700 miles away. Light cavalry can reach them in a day and a night. Guanzhong was damaged by the war, has a small population and fertile land. ; Although you are now living in Guanzhong, the population is very small and it is difficult to develop. You should enrich it. When the princes were everywhere, there were powerful and wealthy families such as the Tian family and the Zhao, Qu and Jing tribes of Chu State. They were powerful and should be controlled. . Also, Chang'an is close to the Xiongnu in the north and the powerful clans of the past six countries in the east. Once the world changes and the family alliances are in chaos, the emperor will not be able to sit down and sleep peacefully. Wei Chen suggested that the surname of Tian, Chu and Yan Descendants of royal families and wealthy families such as Zhao, Han and Wei all moved to Guanzhong. If nothing happened in the world, they could be used as a force to resist the Xiongnu; if there was a change, the emperor would also have troops to march eastward. This move is called strengthening the capital and suppressing it. end."
Liu Bang adopted it and immigrated 100,000 people to enrich Guanzhong. These 100,000 people are not ordinary people, but wealthy businessmen and wealthy families, and they are deeply involved. For a time, Chang'an was full of people from all directions, rich families, powerful families, knights, thieves, etc. all crowded into Chang'an. There are many good and bad people in Chang'an City. Every time someone commits a crime, a large number of people are implicated, making it difficult to manage public security.
Lou Jing made two suggestions to Liu Bang, both of which would have an impact on the development of later generations. The first one is the continuation of the marriage. The palace maids became the best candidates for the marriage, rather than the eldest princess; the second one is the immigration to guard the mausoleum. After that, whenever the emperor was buried, the court would move the common people to guard the mausoleum.
