It snowed heavily in Heluo, and all traces of people were wiped out.
Above Yiluo, among thousands of mountains and rivers, wild beasts disappeared and all birds disappeared. From east to west, only the cold wind howled by, rolling up layers of ice crystals between the sky and the earth, like the roar of the wind god and the snow god. Advent.
"Woo~~"
The desolate and sad horn sounded suddenly, instantly breaking the silence between Heluo.
When Huo Guang left Chang'an, he had a premonition that he would not be able to come back, but the Guandong incident was resolved so quickly and smoothly that he breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not expect that his fate would be like this in the end.
Luoyang.
Luo Qing stood here, feeling the comfort brought to him by this holy city of Zhu Xia. This city was like Luo's mother, continuously strengthening Luo's heritage for thousands of years.
After the heavy snow fell, Huo Guang looked at the majestic city not far away, surrounded by mountains in front of him. The Yiluo Divine Water was sparkling, and the slight waves would remind people of the legend of Hetu Luoshu. The legendary Jiuding lost in Luoshui.
A sigh.
"That's it."
Huo Guang sighed slightly.
Then he looked at Luo Qing and said, "Cousin, my brother is dying."
Relatives are born with blood ties and are naturally close, but it is equally important to move around each other. This is the case between Huo Guang and Luo Qing. The two have known each other for decades, one in the open and the other in the dark, and they have done so much together. Big things, great feelings.
Huo Guang was about to die now. Luo Qing was a little sad and asked, "Do you have any last words?"
Huo Guang shook his head and said, "What last words can I say?
You see, these great mountains and rivers, the land of Yiluo God, can stabilize this majestic Han Dynasty mountains and rivers in my hands, it is enough.
If you want to say anything, please ask His Majesty the Emperor to govern the country well, not forgetting Xiaoxuan's difficulty in reviving the Emperor, and asking the descendants of the ministers not to forget the loyalty of their ancestors. This is enough. "
Huo Guang said several times in a row, which made Luo Qing feel quite emotional. From the beginning of its establishment, the Han Dynasty was filled with a heroic spirit, in which Luo deeply restrained the moral concepts of the emperor and the people of the world.
A social atmosphere was formed among the scholar-bureaucrats and princes and nobles of the Han Dynasty that a man should perform meritorious service and be inspired by meritorious deeds. This eventually led to the Jingnan War and the emergence of courtiers like Huo Guang who yearned for King Luowen.
Every drink and peck seems to be determined by fate, but is Huo Guang's appearance an accident?
It’s because the world’s hearts are not cold!
It's because the emperors of the Han Dynasty are still trusted!
Huo Guang died in Luoyang, and the accompanying Yulin guards were crying bitterly.
When Huo Guang dragged his sick body to Guandong, not only Liu She, but many people also had a premonition that Huo Guang would never return to Chang'an alive.
But when the news that "General Sima died of illness in Heluo" reached Chang'an, it still made people feel shocked.
That was Huo Guang, who had been in charge of the world's affairs for twelve years!
He died in silence and obscurity.
Liu She listened to the news with some numbness, and suddenly felt a heaven-like pressure on his shoulders.
So is this what it feels like to carry an empire?
Huo Guang's body was put into a fine coffin in Luoyang and then transported to Chang'an. The Yulin guards were all dressed in white.
The coffin carrying Huo Guang's body entered Guanzhong, and people continued to see it off along the way.
Then ten miles away from Chang'an, he met the emperor and the Dukes of the imperial court who came to greet him.
This was not a triumph, and the emperor should not have greeted us, but he came anyway.
Luo Qing stepped forward, bowed and saluted, and said in a serious voice: "Your Majesty, Guandong is generally stable, the refugees have returned to their homes, and there is no danger of the country overthrowing."
"It's all thanks to all my dear friends that I can sit peacefully in Chang'an and achieve peace in the world."
"Your Majesty, the general passed away due to serious illness. Before his death, I asked you to remember the difficulties of Emperor Xiaoxuan's revival."
The emperor walked to the coffin, was silent for a few moments, and finally said softly: "I understand. Let's take the general back to Chang'an and lay him to rest as soon as possible. Don't let the complexity of the world disturb the general's heroic spirit."
Huo Guang's coffin was carried all the way into Chang'an. Countless people watched on both sides of the street, with plain white flags swaying and streamers fluttering everywhere.
The body was handed over to Bowang Hou Mansion for burial. The emperor directly gave Huo Guang five nine-tin suits to be buried with him. No one had any objections. Huo Guang was an excellent minister and assisted the country and took charge of government. According to the practice of the Han Dynasty, all nine-tin suits were given to Huo Guang. Buried with tin.
King Luowen is even more complete. Apart from the throne, he is no different from the emperor!
The imperial court began to follow the process after the death of important ministers and princes. Countless two-character posthumous titles were handed over by the ministers, each with their own explanations.
If a person's achievements are too great and there are no obvious character flaws, then there are many suitable posthumous names. Huo Guang has a somewhat stubborn personality. Posthumous names such as Yi and Ren are obviously not suitable for him, but he prefers posthumous names such as fortitude. All consistent with his merits.
There was a lot of commotion at the court meeting, and the ministers were arguing with each other over Huo Guang's posthumous title. This was a document that was to be submitted to the Emperor Su Wang, and he must strive for excellence.
Liu She looked at all this and listened carefully to the opinions. After a long time, he hammered the bronze bell beside him, and the ministers stopped.
Liu She's voice was louder than ever before. After twenty-one years, he finally made a thunderous voice, the voice that an emperor should have.
"If you have made great contributions to bring peace to the people, you are called Lie. If you have made great achievements, you are called Lie. If you have done great things to bring life to the people, you are called Lie. I will be a great general and be given the posthumous title of Marquis Wu Lie. This is the will of me and the Queen Mother, and it will not change!"
Liu She stood up and walked around in response to the ministers' words, then stopped and said loudly: "I have been thinking, if loyal ministers have meritorious service and are not praised, who will be willing to fulfill their duties?
The majestic mountains will never move, the surging rivers will never stop, the sun, moon and stars will be eternal in the starry sky, but human life is so short.
Carve people's names on stone tablets. Stone tablets are probably things that last longer than people.
Record people's names in the annals of history, and the clear history will be passed down forever.
Marquis Wulie deserves to enjoy the temple of Emperor Xiaoxuan, and the emperor worships him every year. I think of those ministers who have made great achievements but are not worthy of enjoying the temple.
I will erect a pavilion named after the auspicious beast Qilin, and hang in it the portraits of the late emperor and all the loyal and important ministers of my period. It will be called the Qilin Pavilion of the Twelve Heroes of the Zhongxing Dynasty!
Offering sacrifices every year is recorded in the annals of history and passed down to future generations.
Qilin Pavilion is headed by Great Sima General Bowang Wu Liehou Huo Guang! "
Liu She recalled that before Huo Guang left, he had told him that he would build the Qilin Pavilion with him when he came back. Unexpectedly, now the yin and yang were separated, and Huo Guang could not see the moment when he entered the Qilin Pavilion.
The emperor's loud words resounded in the hall, and the officials were shocked by the sudden news. The title of the Twelve Heroes of Qilin Zhongxing is really incredible.
There have been countless talented people for thousands of years, but how many people have shown their talents in later generations?
The emperor built Qilin Pavilion in order to allow the achievements between the emperor and his ministers to be passed down to future generations forever. Huo Guang, in particular, must be famous in history. If he can be listed with Huo Guang among the twelve heroes of the ZTE, it will also be a long-term success.
Especially Prime Minister Liu Xiang, he has experienced a lot in his life. He established his own school from Legalism, and finally gave the final blow to Legalism in the Three Jin Dynasties. He integrated Confucianism and Taoism, created his own criminal law, and finally reached his current position step by step. He can be said to be a human being. At the peak of my career, the only thing I can pursue is a posthumous reputation.
The emperor's list of Qilin Pavilion was soon circulated from the ban. This is what all the families in Chang'an are most concerned about now. Except for some undisputed people, every family hopes to compete for a posthumous name for their elders or teachers.
Liu She began to think about this list when Huo Guang went to Guandong, and discussed it with the Empress Dowager for a long time. Basically, he was able to convince the public. This is the most important thing. Liu She must not let anyone question the fairness and authority of this list. .
The number one in Qilin Pavilion is the Great Sima General Bowang Hou Huo!
"I have only served Emperor Xiaoxuan for twenty years, and assassinated the prince to cause rebellion. The Huo family fought bravely to quell the chaos, restored our country, and assisted in the government for twelve years. After successfully returning to power, I also controlled Guandong, but I was unable to return. To this day, I On the Qilin Pavilion, his name is not displayed to show his dignity and respect."
The second in Qilin Pavilion, Wushuang Hou Luoshi, the Protector of the Western Region!
"I have been born in a famous family, inherited my father's ambition, stabilized the Western Regions, and made great achievements. I served Tian Jingnan, stabilized the Han family, and led the elite cavalry to defeat Di's orders. The martial arts of the late emperor can be seen on the unparalleled sword blade, and the martial arts are fierce. I admire him very much, but I regret that the noble lord is so jealous that I cannot see him, so he is ranked second."
Third in Qilin Pavilion, Prime Minister Wancheng Hou Liu Xiang!
"..."
In the fifth place of Qilin Pavilion, Grand Sinong Taixue offered wine to Luo Qing!
"Young famous people have a clear name. I have fulfilled great responsibilities and have gained a lot of merit. I am ranked fifth in the world."
…
The twelfth Qilin Pavilion, Zongzheng Liu Chang!
The so-called Qilin Pavilion is based on merit.
Liu She first commended the ministers who had made achievements in the late emperor and his dynasty, and Luo Shi was a very special one among them.
He was not considered a minister during the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xun, but he led his army northward to annihilate the Xiongnu, and was the person with the highest military merit during the Yuanfeng period.
The great cause of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and his cultural and martial arts cannot be bypassed. In addition, he is Huo Guang's uncle and Luo Qing's uncle, so he must go to Qilin Pavilion.
As soon as the list of twelve people came out, scholars all over the world rushed to praise it. All Liu She's thoughts and ideas came true.
The Han Dynasty is in decline, the filial piety is restored, the ancestors are honored, and the sage king appears in this world, there must be virtuous ministers.
Where are the ministers of ZTE?
The tool is on Qilin Pavilion!
————
Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun and Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty Liu She jointly established a stable situation for decades. Looking at the world, this is actually rare.
The excellence of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty has been described many times in the previous chapters. Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty did not have the ability of his father, especially after Huo Guang's death, his shortcomings became apparent, but he was still a qualified lord of success.
The author's consistent view is that a king who lacks ability will make far greater contributions by not reforming than by reforming haphazardly.
The Han Dynasty still maintained a prosperous situation, although there were already many shortcomings inside!
This once again prosperous dynasty began to decline, but fortunately no one stepped on the accelerator. It slowly landed in the hands of Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty in a way that perfectly complied with the law of cycles. ——"The Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
