"Reform!"
"I heard that the ancient Yellow Emperor and Yan Emperor received the destiny of 'Ji and Jiang will be prosperous', so they put aside their past grievances, overcame difficulties, eliminated hatred, and joined forces to defeat Chi You.
Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, and even King Wu of Zhou all received the revelation of heaven, followed the will of heaven, restored the country, and thus conquered the world.
Has there ever been a king from ancient times who succeeded despite being ordered by God to change his system?
I thought there was none.
At the beginning of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, His Majesty should follow the will of King Su, reform his country, and conform to the trajectory of heaven. Only in this way can the country become more stable and enjoy the destiny for a long time. "
"What you said is correct. I am the Son of Heaven. I should respect the will of God and restructure the world in order to rectify major events."
A presentation in the third year of the Yuan Dynasty had a great impact on Liu Che's thinking. He was already a bit of a middle schooler, but when he was still the prince and Prince of Liang, he felt that he was extremely extraordinary.
Later, when the crown prince was deposed, it was as if God was going to send the crown prince to him. Especially since the former emperor had just deposed the former prince and not long after his death, Liu Che felt that God was going to send the throne to him. The feeling in your own hands.
Now that he has received the apocalypse from King Su, it makes him feel that he is truly commanded by heaven. No matter what he does, he has divine help, and his secondary attributes have completely exploded.
Liu Che wants to fill the whole world with his aura, and let even the humblest servants and the most remote naturalized people know that the current emperor is called Liu Che.
The Han Dynasty launched a vigorous restructuring from top to bottom. From the format and color of official uniforms, the format and style of documents, to the readjustment of the Suwang Calendar, almost every aspect was completely new.
Although Liu Che was still a relatively young emperor, he was not in a hurry. He quietly waited for changes in the internal and external situation.
Dong Zhongshu's revised Spring and Autumn Interpretation deleted the content about Ji Zhao and retained other content. He went to Zhaocheng to meet the two sages Luo Kong and thoroughly entered the Confucian lineage. With Liu Che's support, Luo Kong With Jing's acquiescence, he served as one of the doctors of the Spring and Autumn Classics and began to officially promote his Dong's Spring and Autumn Annals.
Dong Zhongshu felt that it was too difficult for him. Both the emperor and Dong Ahou needed him to provide something for them, and sometimes there was conflict.
In this case, he could quickly expand the reputation of Dong's Spring and Autumn Period, and at the same time expand the influence of Confucianism and suppress other schools of thought. He felt that he was too strong.
If he cannot enter the ranks of Confucian sages in the future, he will not be convinced, but he is not worried about this. As long as I lick, no, make good friends with Dong'ahou, can the Zhuzi Temple open a back door for me?
After a wave of self-promotion, Dong Zhongshu once again began to promote his set of political ideas, building public opinion for Liu Che's attempt to launch a war, and at the same time transforming the political system according to his ideas.
In addition, Liu Che asked each county to recommend virtuous and virtuous talents to the court. Many people who were famous among the counties came to Chang'an, and the Han court became turbulent for a while.
…
After the rain, the grassland is verdant and green, with herds of cattle and sheep looming in it. In the later generations of Ji Zhao, there was a saying that "the Yellow River has all kinds of evils, but only one rich one". In this world, the river, as the mother river, plays more roles. , but at the same time, the Hetao has become more fertile.
When the Han Dynasty was first established, the Xiongnu royal court was set up in Hetao, which is also known as the Monan grassland among the Xiongnu people, Monan and Mobei. It can be seen from these two names that this is a large desert Gobi North and South.
In the world Ji Zhao lives in, Monan is mainly the grassland part of China, while Mobei is distributed in several countries, and the vast stretches of continuous desert Gobi between Monan and Mobei, Almost all of them are in Mongolia. This is a little bit of trivia. Most of Mongolia’s land is desert Gobi, not grassland, because the grasslands are on the Chinese side and the Maozi side. The windy sand in Mongolia is a major source of sandstorms in China. First, even if a protective forest wall is erected on the northern border, it cannot stop the sand and dust coming from high altitudes.
In the past, the reason why the royal court of the Huns was set up in Hetao was that the living environment was suitable. If a country or dynasty established its capital just because it was suitable for living, then the only thing that would greet them was sudden destruction.
The main reason why the Huns chose this place was because it was close to the Central Plains. They could mobilize men as quickly as possible and drive livestock to invade the Central Plains. This was one of the Xiongnu's strategic goals. Natural disasters on the grasslands often struck suddenly. If you didn't go south at this time, you wouldn't be able to survive. Go down.
Especially for an empire as huge as the Xiongnu, there were countless people to survive, and the Hetao Plain alone could not support such a large population.
Then a rising Xiongnu Empire faced a devastating blow. The majestic wind and snow appeared in Hetao with infinite majesty and coldness. In real history, the Han Dynasty humiliated and made peace for decades. The empire that has paid tribute for decades will never have a chance to appear in this world again.
A fierce debate was going on in the Xiongnu royal court.
Today's Xiongnu Chanyu is also a man of great talent and strategy. Maodun Chanyu gave birth to Laoshang Chanyu, who completely integrated the entire grassland tribes, communicated with the Western Regions and Central Asia, and obtained many technologies, which enabled the Xiongnu to recover from weakness. recover from it.
According to the real history, the old Shanyu should have passed the throne to the military minister Shanyu, but I don’t know if he died in the plague. In the end, it was Qilian Shanyu who became the Shanyu. This was an extremely Shanyu, who was good at war, easily defeated some tribes that did not obey him. Moreover, he advocated learning the culture of Zhuxia, and his political skills were quite strong. He had forward vision and broad mind, and united a group of people with different origins. The Xiongnu dignitaries gathered these groups from different clans and tribes under the banner of "Great Xia".
"Chanyu, have you forgotten the old Chanyu's warning?
Even if they are struggling to survive on the grasslands, they must not invade the Central Plains on a large scale.
The shaman in the Central Plains has not passed away yet, and now he has been angered. If God punishes him again and turns the foot of Yinshan Mountain into an ice field, the Xiongnu will suffer a disaster. Our cattle and sheep will die, and then there will be a plague, and countless tribes will The serfs will be wasted in the plague, and we will be left with nothing.
Although you are the great son of the sky and the chanyu of the entire Xiongnu, I will never lead my tribe and sons to follow you to attack the Central Plains. "
In the golden tent of the Xiongnu royal court, King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu said loudly, and then there was a burst of agreement from the tent. Although none of these people had experienced the disaster that year, almost everyone had countless ancestors. He had warned them many times and described Luoling's terror to them, but they really didn't understand why Chanyu had nothing to do to provoke him.
Qilian Shanyu frowned when he heard this and said: "Decades have passed since that great disaster. Except for that one time, I have never heard of the Han shaman using divine punishment. Will we continue to do this until he dies?" Don’t you want to enter the Central Plains?
In recent years, natural disasters have gradually begun to invade our grasslands. The pasture is not as abundant as in the past few decades, and the output of cattle and sheep has declined. Are we going to wait here for the decline?
Could the great Son of Heaven be frightened away like this?
The Han people call themselves Zhu Xia, but we are the real Xia. We wave our swords and go to get more land within the Great Wall. "
After hearing what Qilian Chanyu said, King Zuo Xian immediately said: "Chanyu, that shaman of the Han people not only used divine punishment once, have you forgotten the Yishui Valley?"
Qilian Chanyu laughed loudly when he heard this, "That story must be false. The Yishui River Valley is already rainy and prone to floods. That legend is too ridiculous. If it can really appear suddenly, that Sasha Why didn’t Man suddenly come to our royal court?”
King Zuo Guli was hesitant when he heard this, but after looking at everyone, he gritted his teeth and said: "Chanyu, what happened in the Yishui Valley back then was true, because my father was the one who personally experienced that thing. Thanks to the blessing of heaven, Only then could he escape with his life from the flood and return to the tribe. I don’t agree with going to the Central Plains, it’s really too risky.”
At this time, everyone turned their attention to King Zuogu Li. They didn't expect this to happen, so they became even more uneasy. Qilian Shanyu felt numb when he heard this. Is that shaman really so evil?
But it would be too embarrassing to retreat directly like this. How can you maintain your prestige as a Chanyu?
As the saying goes, even if you are cowardly, you can't let people see it. Qilian Shan thought in his heart, and then muttered: "This Shan is the son of the sky surrounded by the sun and the moon. How can he be afraid of a mere Han?" Shaman?
But Daxia is not a Daxia that belongs to just one person, so it cannot be arbitrary.
Since King Zuo Xian and King Zuo Guli both said so and were afraid of the Han shaman, and all the kings did not agree with going south, then Shanyu would no longer insist on it, so as not to hurt us more than gold and stones. A solid friendship.
Ben Chanyu heard that the Han shaman was already very old, and his contemporaries had all passed away. Perhaps he would go to see the gods he believed in within the next few years.
At that time, no one will be able to stop my cavalry of Daxia. Now consider it the luck of the Han people.
The great Chanyu of Great Xia, surrounded by the sun and moon, spared the lives of the Han people. "
What does it mean to be a cooked duck with only a tough mouth? This is the current Qilian Chanyu. He is trying his best to restore his dignity and prestige here. The Xiongnu kings in the golden tent see that Qilian Chanyu's prestige is indeed high these years. For your sake, they all said in unison: "Great Chanyu, who is surrounded by the sun and moon, the Han people should be grateful to you!"
