Yuanzheng seven years.
When the Donghu rebelled, most of the Liaodong capital sent troops to attack them. All the Donghu tribesmen who were taller than a wheel were killed. The Liaodong Hus were frightened and frightened, and treated them with great respect.
Civil uprisings in Langya County and Jiaobei County of the Qingzhou Governor's Department were pacified in ten months.
Yuanzheng eight years.
The mountains and rivers plundered the Han territory, and all three armies came out to strangle them. In ancient times, the mountains and rivers of the Yue mountains wept with blood, and the Yue barbarians begged for surrender, but the emperor refused. Even after three years, the Yue barbarians did not return.
Yuanzheng ninth year.
Before Yue's invasion was settled, Dawan rebelled. Most of the Western Regions sent troops to attack it. It took four months to pacify it. Thirteen people died in Dawan, and all the countries were in awe.
The refugees from the Jizhou governor's department rose up and gathered a hundred thousand people, and they were pacified in March.
Yuan Zheng ten years.
The Southern Barbarians arose, and the King of Lingnan was defeated. He sent envoys to ask for help. The emperor, headed by King Yuzhang, commanded Yuzhang County, Yuzhang Kingdom, Kuaiji County, and Yue Kingdom, with a total of 100,000 land and water troops. He drove out the Southern Barbarians. The Lingnan River was blocked by corpses. If King Luowen looked like he did in the past.
There is an earthquake and locust plague in Guanzhong, and chaos abounds. The more those who sit in law become more prosperous, the more criminals there are.
In the eleventh year of Yuan Zheng's reign.
Thousands of Xiongnu cavalry invaded Kangju, and most of the Western Regions escorted them to Chang'an. The emperor was shocked and ordered the Western Regions to send 30,000 troops and the Liaodong Provinces to send 50,000 troops to the north to look for the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu did not dare to join the Han army and failed to escape , the Han army failed to advance out of the fortress three times, so the emperor stopped.
The mountains were pacified, but the people in Yangzhou's governor's department became more popular, and it took half a year to decide.
…
In the twelfth year of Yuanzheng, there was neither internal civil unrest nor foreign invasion. The Han Dynasty seemed to have entered its peak period.
King Dongou of Nanyi said privately after drinking: "The Han Dynasty is really too domineering. It's a shame that Dongou is not strong enough. Otherwise, I must teach the emperor of the Han Dynasty a lesson."
As a result, walls have ears, and the news of these words actually leaked out. The Han envoy came to Dongou Kingdom alone, and scolded him in the main hall of Dongou King's Palace: "King Dongou, barbarians like you are born like wild beasts." The same barbarians.
Being able to be canonized by Zhu Xiazi, he finally took off his animal form, put on silk and satin, and took on the appearance of a human being.
Isn’t this the grace of re-creation?
You should kneel on the ground every day and pray to the Emperor Su and the Emperor day and night.
I didn't expect you to say such a thing, how heartless you are.
Dawan made rude remarks, and the Han army captured his royal capital and killed 30% of his population. King Dawan's head was spread throughout the Western Regions, and was finally hung on the gate of Chang'an City.
Dong Hu dared to jump the beam, but now he has been killed. You are still alive. Shouldn't you thank the emperor for his grace? "
The king of Dongou was angry and wanted to kill the Han envoy, but he was killed by Dongou's ministers instead. They prayed and said: "Dear envoy of the Han Dynasty, please intercede for us with the great and supreme princes of Zhuxia.
The country of Dongou did not dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction with the Han Dynasty. That was the king's stupidity. Killing him is our respect for the emperor. "
The Han envoy came to Dongou Kingdom alone, but when he left, he was accompanied by ministers from Manchuria.
…
Chang'an City, Changle Palace.
Emperor Liu Dan listened to the deeds of the Dongou Kingdom reported to him by his close ministers. After hearing this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "The Han Dynasty's reputation has reached such an extent. This must be an unprecedented deed.
My wish has been fulfilled, and I should go and offer sacrifices to the ancestors of the Han Dynasty.
By the way, go and summon the master craftsman to me. I have something to tell you. "
Not long after, the great craftsman hurriedly walked into the Changle Palace. Liu Dan said with great interest: "Great craftsman, now all the barbarians are in uniform, the seas and rivers are clear, and the Han Dynasty is prosperous. I heard that without a magnificent palace, it cannot be displayed." The emperor's majesty, Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace are too outdated. I want to build an unprecedented luxurious palace to the west of Chang'an to show the majesty of the prosperous age, so I summoned you."
The master craftsman was surprised when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed. His family was a master craftsman passed down from his ancestors, specializing in building gorgeous palaces and mausoleums for the royal families of various countries. So far, the strongest ancestor built the mausoleum for Qin Shihuang.
Although I knew from the day the construction started that I would be buried with him in the end, it was worth it!
The great master said excitedly: "Your Majesty, my family has a set of ancestral palace drawings that have been available since the Qin Dynasty.
Your Majesty, you know that the First Emperor believed that his achievements were great, so he wanted to build a majestic palace complex and named it Afang Palace. As a result, before the Afang Palace was completed, Bao Qin perished.
Epang Palace is actually a variation of this set of drawings. Over the past hundred years, the Han family has been adding magnificent palaces to this set of drawings.
I can now say that if this palace complex can appear in the world, it will be an unprecedented palace complex that can shock everyone! "
Liu Dan never expected that the master craftsman would have such a surprise for him, "How does that palace complex compare with my Changle Palace?"
The great master said proudly: "Let me tell you a story.
It is a hundred miles long from east to west. You are riding in a luxurious imperial chariot, and the palace guests can see a pavilion within ten steps.
You stand on the high star-catching platform and look at the black shadow in the distance. Is that a mountain?
When I took a closer look, I realized that they were connected by air bridges and the mezzanines flew into the air. There were so many such fly bridges that they looked like rainbows in the sky.
On a clear day, there is a sun in the sky and a sun on the ground. It turns out that it is the brilliance reflected by countless colored glasses.
There are no women in the world who do not like it, no scholars in the world who do not admire it, no nobles in the world who do not admire it. You are the only one in the world who can build it. "
The great craftsman made an extremely boastful performance, which was quite similar to what was described in later Du Mu's Afang palace poems. Emperor Liu Dan was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
"I want to build this palace!"
This was Liu Dan's only idea. He thought for a moment and said, "I want to name this palace complex 'Eternal Life'!
Great craftsman, I will give you whatever you want. You must build me a palace of ingenuity. "
The master craftsman naturally bowed to accept the order and walked out of the hall with great interest.
…
"Three hundred million dollars?!"
When Sang Hongyang heard the master's report on the palaces, he felt his hands trembling. He thought the master was joking. The annual salary of Han court officials could not reach 30 million yuan in money and goods. How could he build a palace? Want 300 million yuan?
Sang Hongyang said angrily: "When Emperor Xiaowu fought against Mobei, not counting the rewards after the victory, the military expenditure was only 100 million yuan!
Over the years, His Majesty has made great achievements in military affairs, but his military expenses and rewards only amount to more than a billion dollars.
Are you telling me now that it will cost 300 million to build the palace?
It must be you, the traitor, who wants to line your own pockets. "
Unexpectedly, the master was not in a hurry at all. Shi Shiran said: "Doctor, you don't have to be so anxious. It's naturally not 300 million yuan."
Before Sang Hongyang could relax, the master craftsman continued: "Three hundred million yuan was the cost of building Afang Palace during the Qin Dynasty. What I built for your majesty is a magnificent miracle that far exceeds Afang Palace. Three One hundred million dollars is far from enough, one billion dollars is about the same.
Moreover, the corvee force must be more than 500,000 people. Just relying on Guanzhong must not be enough. It also needs a lot of support from doctors. "
Sang Hongyang was completely speechless when he heard this. He only felt dizzy and his eyes turned black. After he threatened, Dajiang Zuo still dared to say this, which proved that he was unafraid.
The problem is that the treasury is already empty. The money for the wars in these years was obtained by him by demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall. Naturally, the official business of Yantie Liquor has been completely in the hands of the imperial court, which basically monopolizes all kinds of goods. purchases and sales.
Dajiang Zuo stood up, bowed to Sang Hongyang Zuo and said with a smile: "Doctor, don't be so anxious. Naturally, this billion will not be needed in a year. You have enough time to raise it.
The minister left first and asked the doctor to raise money. This year, only 100 million yuan will be enough. "
After saying that, he walked out. Sang Hongyang's face was extremely ugly.
Is there any way to make money?
have!
Do you dare to use it?
Don't dare!
After Wang San wanted to kill the county magistrate, he came to Chang'an City to assassinate him. In the end, Wang San was taken away by Luo Sheng, but there was more than one person in the world?
I can't even count how many people thought about killing him. It was only in the past few years that they gradually stopped. If they continue to help the emperor make money, I really don't know how long they can live.
but……
Sang Hongyang looked at the seal and ribbon on his body, and the next step was the prime minister with a gold seal and purple ribbon!
…
News that the emperor wanted to build a palace spread. Ordinary people may not realize it, but nobles, officials, and students knew it all too well. A group of more upright officials and students wrote letters of opposition. Some of these letters came from the county, Some came from Chang'an and made roughly the same remarks.
“The country is so strong on the outside, but it is gradually becoming empty on the inside.
The people of the Han Dynasty are so tired and tired, they should be allowed to rest.
Now is the time to work together to overcome difficulties. What's the use of building a palace?
The county where the minister is located has begun to deteriorate. It has lost the prosperity of the past, cannot draw out enough corvees, and cannot pay more taxes.
Your Majesty, please think about it seriously. I wish you the best, may you enjoy the great light, may you have long-lasting health and life. "
These petitions made Liu Dan very dissatisfied. In the past few years, the Han Dynasty had been at its peak of power, and all the barbarians were in submission. Moreover, the Han Dynasty was vast and rich in resources. How could it be that the Han Dynasty could not even build a palace.
————
Yuan Zheng twelve years.
It said: "The Han Dynasty is the sect of all Xia and the lord of the world. The territory opened up by Emperor Xiaowu is almost double that of the previous generation. I have served for twelve years and dare not claim to have great achievements. I only fight with trembling fear and dare not Lost half an inch of my ancestors.
The power of the Han Dynasty shocked hundreds of barbarians, and its territory was vast. Once a decree was issued, the Yiyue people immediately followed it. I promoted it and built a palace to live forever. The princes came to congratulate me. The power of the Han Dynasty will shine in all directions forever. "
Fang Zhengjin, a wise man, said: "Your Majesty has made great achievements and carried forward his ambitions. However, after years of conquests, the soldiers and people are exhausted, and strange things are happening in the sea. Building palaces and palaces costs a lot of money. Please be careful about this."
Shang Buhe said: "The territory of the Qin Dynasty is only five thousand miles away, and its population is only 20 million. It goes north to defeat the Huns, and conquers Baiyue in the south. It connects ditches, builds imperial mausoleums, and connects the Great Wall. Our Han Dynasty covers thousands of miles and has a population of 100,000. Half a billion, not one palace?
How absurd! "
Zhu Xianliang and Fang Zheng went on to say: "It was possible in the era of Xiaowen, but not in today's era."
The superior was angry and said: "Those who ridicule the superior should die."
Then he killed him. ——"Historical Records·The Chronicles of Emperor Ruili"
