A mediocre emperor will bring decline to the dynasty, Emperor Xiaoding proved this, and an emperor who likes to torment will bring the country to destruction, Emperor Ruo proves this.
What can a talented and strategic emperor bring to a dynasty?
He will tell everyone that the so-called hard work and inability to recover are all excuses.
Three hundred years of dynastic periodicity?
Since the next one is still a feudal dynasty, why can't the person who creates the new dynasty be the helmsman of the old dynasty?
Since the world still needs an emperor, why can't the new emperor be the old emperor?
Great men from heaven exist objectively. As long as they are capable and have room to move around, they can be reborn!
Emperor Ruo's actions brought disaster to the Qin Dynasty. If the next emperor is still like him, the Han Dynasty will definitely perish. By that time, people all over the world will probably say that the Han Dynasty is hard to come back, and no one will be able to save it.
But in fact, to maintain the existence of a dynasty, the emperor does not need to control the world, he only needs a basic base.
For an emperor as capable and resourceful as Liu Xun, it is easy to find a base that can probably maintain loyalty. ZTE is not a dream at all.
Yuanfeng thirteen years.
Liu Xun worshiped Emperor Su and the spirits of his ancestors.
"Xunben was an eldest son with shallow virtues and no outstanding talents. Because he followed the teachings of God, he was able to control the power of the Xia and inherit the country of the Han Dynasty. Since he succeeded to the throne, he never dared to forget the teachings of God.
The violent emperor corrupted the world. For thirteen years, with the blessing of the ancestors and the unity of the monarch and his ministers, the country finally recovered somewhat.
The Changping warehouse was full, the armor of Chang'an and the counties were repaired, and the people got their land and resumed farming.
So the descendants worshiped the ancestral gods devoutly and reported the prosperity of the world to King Su, hoping that the ancestral gods would continue to protect the Han Dynasty and restore the prosperous age of the civil and military emperors as soon as possible. "
Changpingcang is one of the most important granaries in Guanzhong. If Changpingcang is full, Guanzhong can survive even if there is a famine. It can also support the war in Guanzhong and is the key to stabilizing the Han Dynasty's sacred weapon.
Of course, Liu Xun's goal is not limited to this. His ultimate dream is to restore the rule of Xiaowen, the ultimate prosperous age when Emperor Wu defeated the Huns and the people were not benefited from the wealth!
Although it is basically a dream, after all, Liu Heng's prosperous age was created by Lu Fei, Queen Gao, but he obviously understands the principle of seeking the top to get the middle, and seeking the middle to get the bottom.
Whenever someone praised him, he would say, “Have we done enough to boast?
It is said that during the reign of Emperor Xiaowen, there was a tax rate of over 110 in Guanzhong.
It is said that during the reign of Emperor Xiaowen, granaries all over the world were filled with grain, and even ordinary people's homes had enough grain to survive the winter.
There are still refugees all over the world. Last year, more than 3,000 beggars were sent to the Western Regions from Guanzhong alone.
I am very cautious and do not dare to slack off at all. I want to reward you all, so we should work harder. "
Lowe's donated crops.
Yuanfeng fourteenth year.
Three heroes who contributed to Jingnan passed away, and the emperor sent people to express condolences. They were all given posthumous titles. In addition to the eldest son inheriting the title, another son was selected to serve as a guard in the imperial palace.
The queen gave birth to her second son with difficulty, and Liu Xun rewarded the world with the rank of civil nobility. He also issued an edict asking all counties and counties to reward widows, widows, orphans, singles, and those over seventy years old with wine and meat, and those who could not eat were converted into money and silk. .
This is the method of spreading coins that he learned from his grandfather, Emperor Xiaowu. When the country is financially wealthy, it is an excellent behavior to alleviate social conflicts and reduce the gap between the rich and the poor.
In the fifteenth year of Yuanfeng, Yinghou Luosi and Luhou Luchan passed away one after another. Basically all the leaders of Jingnan died, leaving only Luo Shi alone guarding the Western Regions thousands of miles away.
The death of Lu Chan made Liu Xun very sad. Although he did not let Lu Chan participate in political affairs, his feelings for Lu Chan were very deep. If it weren't for Lu Chan, he would probably have died among the countless people in Laixi City. cold winter.
"My uncle is a loyal minister rarely seen in the world. When Emperor Ruili brought disaster to the country, he was the first to initiate a public letter and was not afraid of Emperor Ruili's threat.
When the ruthless emperor insisted on his own way, he was the leader of the heroes of Jingnan, and he fought bravely to be the first. When the new emperor was elected, my uncle praised my meager virtue.
Isn't it because of my uncle that I have the honorable position I have today?
I have passed down my decree to add 500 households to the Marquis of Lu, and exempt the Marquis from taxes for three years, to show my love for boxing. "
Yuanfeng fifteen years.
Luo Qing wrote to Liu Xun, and Liu Xun appointed Luo Qing, the eunuch of the Qin Dynasty, to offer wine to the Taixue Palace and serve as a doctor of "Astrology Sutra". This was the first non-social science classic to be included in the Taixue Palace. At the same time, the study of astrology scriptures was launched.
Yuanfeng sixteen years.
The Liaodong Protectorate put down the rebellion of the Wuhuan tribe, and the Western Region Protectorate had three small battles with the Kangju Kingdom. Due to the inability to carry out an expedition, there was also the rebellion of the old Wusun Kingdom and the rebellion of the Cheshi Kingdom. Luo Shi led the temple army to return and killed Kill the old king of Wusun, make the pro-Han nobles king, and slaughter the charioteers eastward.
Yuanfeng seventeenth year.
The eastern and western regions of Liaoning were generally stable. The tribute envoys from the Lingnan Kingdom had not arrived. Liu Xun sent envoys to hold him accountable, and the Lingnan Kingdom bowed its head and begged for mercy.
Yuanfeng eighteen years.
Liu Xun has ruled this huge dynasty for eighteen years. This number has exceeded the Xiaoding Emperor Liu Jin and the violent Emperor Liu Dan, and even longer than the Gao Emperor Liu Bang's reign.
In Changle Palace, Huo Guang was reading the summary of the previous year for Liu Xun.
"Your Majesty, the granary in Guanzhong has been roughly filled, and the granary in Guandong has also recovered to 70%. According to resource records, the world has now roughly recovered to 50% of what it was at the end of Emperor Xiaowen. Your ZTE career has surpassed all previous ZTE masters. .
Whether it is Wu Ding of the Yin Shang Dynasty or King Xuan of the Zhou Dynasty, they are far inferior to you. "
Huo Guang's words were sincere. He was able to restore the exhausted world to this point in less than twenty years. Even though the Han's foundation was good, it was also inseparable from the emperor's personal ability.
Unite the forces that can unite, and then attack the powerful and powerful, killing even the clan members. Within the scope of his ability, he turned the refugees, the biggest hidden danger of the dynasty, into farmers who can maintain the stability of the society. Even small landowners.
This is not the effect of one plus one equals two, but one plus one equals four!
"King Xuan..."
Liu Xun muttered two sentences, people are going to die after all, and posthumous names are very important. He likes to announce this posthumous name.
Because Luo Xuangong was the highest among civil and military officials, Yi Xuan was the best, so this posthumous title could not have been better for him.
Huo Guang heard Liu Xun's voice, then looked up and understood instantly.
The monarch and his ministers looked at each other, and Huo Guang said that there was no problem. A public announcement of your achievements is more than enough. Even if you mention it, Emperor Su Wang would definitely agree.
Liu Xun smiled slightly and expressed his approval of Huo Guang's sensibleness.
Eighteen years!
Liu Xun slightly raised his head and looked at the complicated and exquisite patterns in the palace. Unknowingly, he had been the emperor for eighteen years. During these eighteen years, he could be said to have been working hard and sleeping hard. He did not dare or forget about his body for a moment. responsibilities.
Halfway through the period of Emperor Xiaowen, this is already the limit that can be reached so far.
Liu Xun looked at Luo Qing, who was sitting on his knees in the hall, drinking alone, and sighed with a smile: "Young Master Qing, I am able to achieve what I am today, and the crops and skills contributed by your family are indispensable!"
Roche has been studying high-yielding crops and how to increase the yield per acre of land. This kind of research is basically useless, but years of research has naturally produced some results.
In the absence of modern technology, if you want to make a crop highly productive, there are only two ways to do it, either genetically mutate it itself, or breed new seeds through hybridization.
For example, corn, one of the high-yielding grains, is a rhizome with seeds wrapped in a hard shell, but its genes have mutated.
The hard shell actually disappeared!
Although corn at that time had only one row of grains, it still became an auxiliary staple food. However, corn could not compete with others and continued to evolve. It soon became modern corn with dozens of rows of grains, becoming a high-yielding staple food crop.
There is no corn here in the Central Plains, but Luo's careful cultivation still resulted in some crops with significantly higher yields, which gradually spread on all major plains.
In addition, Luo Shi improved agricultural tools and water conservancy, and also formulated the time for fertilization and insect removal. According to the calendar, he formulated more precise planting time and harvesting time for various places. It can be said that he made outstanding contributions to the agricultural development of the Han Dynasty.
Otherwise, how could it be possible to reach the 50% level of Emperor Xiaowen at the end of his career in just eighteen years!
The level of 50% in the last period of Emperor Xiaowen can be regarded as a prosperous era in any period.
Liu Xun knew this very well, and had no intention of taking credit or being arrogant at all. He was the emperor, and it was his duty to employ people. Luo offered suggestions, and if he adopted them, everyone would take credit, which was good.
Luo Qing was also very satisfied with Liu Xun. The emperor in front of him basically had no shortcomings except the emperor's instinctive suspicion.
In his opinion, he is a low-profile version of Emperor Xiaowen.
Luo Qing bowed his head slightly and bowed: "Your Majesty, there are always wise ministers in this world, but not always wise kings. It is a blessing for the great man to have you."
While the two were talking, an eunuch hurried in, looking anxious.
————
Emperor Liu Dan was an emperor with outstanding martial arts. The author believes that ancient China was too harsh on him. The emperor after Liu Dan, Liu Xun, was much luckier.
Of course, Emperor Liu Xun was also an outstanding emperor, even more outstanding than Liu Dan.
Emperor Liu Xun used his outstanding political wisdom and superb political skills to carefully and carefully manage the empire that had just recovered from a serious illness, and successfully made it healthy.
Any king who can save an empire from its decline deserves the highest respect.
What's more, his process of saving the empire was so bright. No loyal ministers died, no people were cruelly abandoned, and the glory of humanity was not abandoned for political compromise. He was one of the most outstanding emperors in ancient China. ——"General History of the World·Qin and Han Volume 6·Final Commentary"
