Yuan Zheng fifteen years.
In May, there was a general amnesty for the whole country. The ruthless emperor Liu Dan punished those who had committed crimes, those who were unjustly, falsely and wrongly convicted, and those who committed minor crimes and were severely punished. They were all released, and the whole world rejoiced.
Imperial edict: The princes of Jingnan all granted five hundred households, and the gold, silver, treasures, etc. were not calculated, and the title of Jingnan was added to show it.
In June, the ministers decided on a year name, making next year the first year of Yuanfeng.
The princes of Jingnan wrote a letter saying, "The Emperor has been executed. He should follow the imperial court's order and return to Guandong. The turmoil in Guandong has not yet been calmed down. Guarding the country cannot be delayed. I would like to warn your majesty."
The empress dowager and the emperor issued an edict to persuade him to stay.
"Since ancient times, there have been extraordinary kings and extraordinary ministers in extraordinary times. The world is out of order and the government is weak. I am in need of the assistance of all your virtuous ministers. Why do you have to leave me?
Is this because my moral character is too low to allow others to help me?
Is this because I am too narrow-minded to accommodate all the heroes?
I also ask all loyal ministers to think deeply about this.
I am willing to give you the prime minister, the general, the imperial censor, the nine ministers and two thousand shi of high-ranking officials to all those who have contributed to Jingnan, and I sincerely persuade you all again to stay in Chang'an to assist me. "
Liu Bingji's words were very sincere. No matter the Jingnan princes or officials and people, they all praised: "Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, and the country is blessed."
So some Jingnan princes stayed, including the founder of the country, some of the princes who were relatives of the Liu family, and some of the princes and generals who prospered during the reign of Emperor Xiaowu.
These people will all be rich and prosperous, because the court after political liquidation is really too clean, the three ministers and nine ministers are almost empty, and countless positions have been vacated.
But those who are really the richest have written again to return to Kanto.
Especially Lu Chan, when he used the same rhetoric he had told the Jingnan princes, the emperor had no reason to refuse, so Lu Chan became the first of the Jingnan princes to return to Guandong.
Before leaving, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor came to see him off. The Emperor said softly: "My uncle returned to Guandong and wrote many letters to Chang'an. You should take good care of the tree in your courtyard and let it grow vigorously. I am very grateful to you." Care."
Lu Chan's pupils shrank when he heard this, and then he bowed deeply and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take good care of you and send letters to Chang'an every month, just like you have seen me before."
Seeing this scene, several people who had been thinking deeply before speeded up their pace, preparing to return to Kanto to make a fortune quietly.
The nobles of Chang'an fell and the princes of Guandong were full. This sentence is the best portrayal of today.
Luo Shi left Chang'an in silence and returned with the army from the Western Regions and Hexi. He took away almost all of Liu Dan's daughters and many concubines, and everyone pretended that they had not seen them.
He is now the king of the northwest.
He rode the best Dayuan Pegasus out of Longxi and entered Hexi. He looked at the vast world in front of him, and then recalled what the emperor said, "Sir, the burden of the northwest is on you. You are the son of Luo and have experienced a long time." The battle formation, from the time of Emperor Xiaoding to the present, has guarded the Western Region for ten years. I am very relieved.
When you return to the Western Region this time, you must be careful about the whispers of some evil people. Don't make your enemies happy and your loved ones hurt. This is all I can say. "
His eyes involuntarily fell on a boy, and then on the girls and young women who had gradually recovered from the panic. Each of them was quite beautiful, and he murmured softly: "What an extraordinary emperor. How would you treat these people?"
July.
The edict: "Emperor Brute treated the people cruelly, used harsh criminal laws, and arrested and imprisoned without any further investigation. The laws of Han Dynasty were like paper, without any dignity. The laws of Emperor Brute were abolished and used Emperor Xiaowu's decree.
I believe that the enforcement of laws and orders should be rigorous. Are the results of torture and extortion of confessions sincere?
I don't think so.
Is it correct to implement the evidence if there are any doubts about it?
I don't think so.
The court should handle cases fairly and the people will obey. This is what I learned when I was living among the people.
As for the vast number of thieves taking advantage of this, I don’t think we need to worry too much. There are officials and people, there are thieves and thieves. The county and state governments should relax the punishment for revenge on the people. Killing people to pay for their lives and debts to pay back money is a matter of course. Why should we stop it? Woolen cloth?
Let the world know what I mean. "
September.
The emperor issued five edicts in succession, which wiped out almost all traces of Liu Dan's past as emperor, because Liu Dan was reprimanded, because Liu Dan was killed and his relatives and friends were condolences, and because Liu Dan was wronged All the people were purged, and those who became famous and wealthy because of Liu Dan were already exiled.
The political purges of the Jingnan princes were too superficial, and only targeted the most prominent princes, kings, three ministers and nine ministers for two thousand stones. Liu Bingji's purge even touched upon the township level, and there may have been some unjust, false and wrongful convictions. , but the effect obtained is extremely significant.
An emperor who had only ascended the throne for half a year gained prestige and power through this forced choice of sides. Countless officials and common people received his favor and became his die-hard supporters.
November.
All the ministers of Chang'an were dismissed, and the emperor issued a message to the world, ordering the princes to stabilize the country and calm the people. He also issued an edict to Guandong, excluding the most vicious people, and pardoned all the rebellious people. The government did not make statistics, and everyone returned to their homes. So Guandong gradually calmed down. .
Everything has been settled, and most of the princes in the court are Jingnan princes, with great power, almost more prosperous than the Yuan Cong princes at the founding of the country.
December.
The edict: "Emperor Ru was a single man, just like King Zhou. There were loyal ministers in the world who didn't know how to use them, so they were deceived by flattering villains. Isn't this because they only listen to and believe in others?"
Emperor Xiaowen and Emperor Xiaowu liked to recruit talented people, so they were able to create achievements. Emperor Xiaoding and Emperor Ru did not do so, which caused turmoil in the society.
I was born in Jiaodong, and I have never seen the hardships in the Western Regions, the wind and frost in Bingzhou, and the difficulties in traveling to the south. I am the monarch of the world, but I do not know the difficulties of the world. This is not what a wise king should do.
I want to get virtuous ministers, but the world is thousands of miles wide. In terms of heaven and earth, I am just a drop in the ocean. How difficult it is to meet all the virtuous ministers.
Now I would like to ask the princes, kings, and governors from all over the world to elect people with good moral character and outstanding talents in your counties and countries. I am willing to treat them respectfully with gold and noble titles. "
An open and honest order to seek talents.
A fair and just edict to divide power.
This was the first time that the Empress Dowager looked at her son so solemnly. Liu Bing was sitting quietly opposite Lu Ying. Lu Ying asked: "What the emperor did was carefully considered. He recruited talented people." , is to give status, and be ranked in the same class as the heroes of Jingnan."
Liu Bing looked at his mother and was silent for a moment before he said, "If it weren't for the hero of Jingnan, how could you and your son get to where you are today?
If there were no heroes who saved the country, the great enemy of the late king would probably never be able to take revenge in this life.
I wanted to make them more prominent, so I gave them glory.
I want to continue their wealth.
Just like what Emperor Gao did, is excessive favor a good thing?
Then you can't give too many rewards, that will make them arrogant, then you can't give them all the power, that will make them arrogant.
I don't want them to change. I don't want to get to the point where we are facing each other one day. That would be really embarrassing. This is what a son can do. "
Empress Dowager Lu looked deeply at Liu Bingji and said, "You are a smart and capable child, so I am not willing to stop your governance, but smart people usually ignore one thing, and that is the human heart.
I was born in the Lu family. There are many smart and wise monarchs in the history books, but there are not many holy masters and wise monarchs who have created great achievements.
Remember, never let the world think you are a mean and unkind king, even if you can dominate the world.
If your ministers think you are mean and ungrateful, then you will no longer have loyal ministers, but only those who are seeking profit. If you are lucky, there will be people who care about the country, but if you are unlucky, you will only be submissive.
A mean and ungrateful emperor will destroy centuries of cultivation of kindness.
The violent emperor caused chaos and ruined the country, and the Han Dynasty was in danger of overthrowing the world.
Because of the centuries-old legacy of Gao Hui's civil and military affairs, some feudal lords in Jingnan rose up in rebellion, killed the single husband, and did not care about power, so they returned to the Han Dynasty.
In the past, the concubines of the Zhou Dynasty assisted King Zhou Yi and even asked King Yi to move the capital to Luoyang.
The Jingnan princes did not ask to move the capital because they really wanted to revive the Han Dynasty.
This is no less gracious than welcoming you to the throne!
If you bear the reputation of being mean and unkind, if you liquidate the feudal princes, if the passion of loyal ministers is cruelly extinguished, it will be clearly recorded in the annals of history.
There was once a group of people who saved the Han Dynasty, but then lived in misery in their later years.
When another disaster like this overthrows the country, no one will come to save the Han Dynasty!
Do you understand it? "
The words of his mother were still echoing in Liu Bing's ears. Chang'an City was still a little cold in March, but the winter light was very warm. He looked at the majestic Weiyang Palace and the entire palace, and then raised his hands to reflect Under the warm sunshine, it is very slender and white, but very powerful.
The fifteenth year of Yuanzheng is about to pass, and the first year of Yuanfeng will come. This is my era!

After Xiaoxuan was established, the ministers reported: "A country cannot be without a king, and a king cannot be without a queen. Please choose a virtuous and virtuous queen as your queen."
We have selected thirty-six ladies from Guanzhong and Guandong families and submitted them to Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, yes. Your Majesty does not agree, so please issue an edict and exhaust all possible means for your Majesty to accept it. "
It said: "When I was young, I suffered a disaster and was exiled from the world. I survived with an old sword. Now I hold Chixiao in my hand. I still remember the old sword and ask you to find it. I will use the sword as a retainer to welcome a virtuous queen."
All the ministers knew what the superior was referring to, and they all said: "I ask for the Weishi Sword. This will live up to the old people. It will live up to the old people, and it will live up to the loyalty, integrity, and uprightness. We are lucky."
The ministers then welcomed Empress Xu, presented the old sword, and said: "The old sword is the old one, I feel at ease, and all the ministers have done well." - "Book of Han·Biography of Wife's Wife"
Push the book and make a sacrifice.
"The Immortal Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts"
The fairy world, the fairyland of all spirits.
Ten Thousand Beasts Island, the main altar of Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
In the northwest corner of the island, there is a steep mountain peak. At the foot of the mountain stands a blue stone tablet with the three characters "Lundao Peak" engraved on it.
At the top of the mountain is a bluestone square covering an area of 100,000 acres. In the center of the square is a 100-foot-large circular stone platform.
Tens of thousands of children, all under the age of ten, gathered in the square. They sat cross-legged on futons with solemn expressions.
An old man in green robes with a rosy face stood on the circular stone platform, his eyes passing over the young children.
"You have just detected your spiritual roots. You are the new disciples of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. The first lesson I will teach you is the origin of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. This matter starts with the founder of the Li sect, the Wan Beast Immortal. The founder of the Li sect was born in the Qianyang realm. In the Qin Kingdom of Donghua Immortal Realm, he was just a casual cultivator at that time.
