also.
Sheng Zizhen was granted the title of Marquis of Lucheng Ting in Zhuo County in the sixth year of Yuanshou. He lost the title of Marquis because of his family Yan, Zhaowu Zuxiong, and Fuhong. He was an official in the prefecture and county for a long time.
Zhaowu was eight feet long, with long arms and beautiful face. He was an orphan at a young age, and his family was poor and had no land. His mother, the filial Empress Dowager Wu, made mats and sold shoes to support him. There was a mulberry tree growing more than five feet high on the fence in the southeast corner of the house. From a distance, he saw children like
On the cover of a small car, passers-by all thought that this tree was extraordinary, or that it was a noble person.
When Zhaowu was young, he and the other children in the clan were playing under a tree and said, "I will definitely ride in this Yubao-covered chariot." My uncle and his son were displeased and said, "Don't lie and destroy our clan!"
When he was eight years old, he met Liu Huide, a tribesman on the road who was being bullied by a crowd. He was angry and helped him, but everyone fled. Hui's father, Liu Boyuan, disagreed and gave money to Zhaowu, Hui and others.
As he got older, he became more determined and courageous, and the able men and knights in the countryside rushed to follow him. Zhaowu used Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as his minions, and Jian Yong and Jijian as his strategist.
.
On the fifteenth year of the year, Bo sent Zhaowu and Hui Gong studied under Lu Zhi of the same county. Zhi established a school in Fengshi Mountain in Luoyang. Zhaowu and Hui went to Luoyang. They met Gongsun Zan on the road. Zan was overjoyed and became friends with Zhaowu deeply. He also became a friend of Zan.
When he was older, Zhaowu took care of him as a brother.
When he arrived at Luoyang, he entered the Fengshi Mountain, where Zhiduo taught his disciples who were highly qualified. Zhaowu was puzzled, so he entered Luoyang and stood at the gate of Zhifu, hoping to see and solve his confusion.
At first, Zhi was nowhere to be seen, but Zhao Wu did not abandon him. He stood outside the gate of the mansion, and there was no difference for a day. When he saw Zhi coming in and out, he became more respectful. After another month, Zhi looked sideways at him.
Another month, when the students in Fengshi Mountain heard about it, they all laughed at Zhaowu's lack of wisdom. Zan learned about it and went to see Zhaowu, saying: Lu Gonghai, a great scholar, has a high reputation and is known all over the world. I am a villain, and the public does not want to see him.
What can I do? Why stand outside the courtyard and make people laugh?
Zhaowu Zhengse said: I heard that Mr. Lu also went on a study tour in the past. I should know the hardships of studying and seeking knowledge. I have puzzles and cannot solve them. If you don't drive me away for a day, I will never leave.
Zan was silent.
During the fourth month of the month when Zhaowu was studying, he was not allowed to enter Zhifu.
It rained heavily the day after tomorrow, and Zhaowu did not return in the rain. It happened that Zhi was sending a car back, and he saw Zhaowu on the road and said: It rained heavily, and you did not take shelter from the rain, so you stood here. Do you want me to pity you for your painstaking efforts?
Zhaowu respectfully said: Mount Tai can slip through stone, a single pole can break a stem, water cannot be drilled through stone, and rope cannot be sawed through wood. Gradual decay makes it happen.
When Zhi heard about it, he was surprised, so he called Zhaowu into his mansion and asked Wang Mang to test him. Zhaowu answered according to the truth. Zhi was happy and allowed Zhaowu to enter his mansion to study. When the students in Fengshi Mountain heard about it, they were all ashamed and shameless.
Zhaowu.
Hou Zhi was appointed as the prefect of Jiujiang and went to quell the rebellion. He then stopped running schools and dismissed the students, and Zhaowu wanted to follow him.
Zan persuaded him and said: Duke Lu considers you his disciple?
Zhaowu said: To repay kindness.
Zan was silent.
Zhi thought that Zhaowu had an old mother in his hometown, so he sent Zhaowu back to his hometown. Zhaowu cried and worshiped again. He wanted to repay his kindness, so Zhi agreed.
Zhaowu led Yu and flew south to Jiujiang to fight with the bandits. He fought in thirteen battles and fought bloody battles. He took the lead and was invincible. He defeated the bandit army several times. The soldiers in the army exclaimed that Liu was invincible. Zhi became more happy.
Zhi led ten cavalry to check the enemy's situation and was trapped by him. Zhaowu led hundreds of cavalry to leap in with their swords raised and kill the enemy to the death. He was hit by three arrows and suffered numerous wounds. He rescued Zhi from the trap and was later seriously injured.
He fell into a coma and recovered in three days.
Hou Zhi believed that Zhao Wu was brave and fearless, so he made Zhao Wu his direct disciple. He taught him the art of war and classics, and he became close to him.
After the chaos subsided, Zhi followed the imperial edict and returned to Luoyang, followed by Zhaowu. When he heard that his mother was ill, Zhaowu was pure filial piety, so he wept and said goodbye to Zhi.
, named "Xiao Mengchang of Zhuo County".
At the beginning, Gongsun Zan was the son-in-law of Liaoxi County. Later, he was filial, honest, meritorious, and appointed as Zhuo Ling. Zhaowu returned home and became friendly with Zan. Zan was very happy. He discussed many affairs with Zhaowu in the county. Zhaowu had many good strategies, and Zan adopted them.
The county was peaceful and peaceful, and many people praised Zhaowu's virtues, and his reputation became more and more popular.
In the eighteenth year of the year, Han Rong, the governor of Zhuo County, heard Zhaowu's name and summoned Zhaowu to meet him to discuss the affairs of the world. If he had questions, there would be answers. Rong Qi was the daughter of his wife. Some people asked Rong why he was there. Rong said: This son
Things that are not in the pond will eventually become great things.
Later, he was promoted to Xiaolian, entered Luoyang, passed the public examination again, and became a Langguan, and later became a minister of public affairs.
Zhaowu had a talent for poetry, and when he tried to compose poetry, everyone was amazed by it, and they rushed to follow him, so he became famous. He was also good at scriptures and could debate scriptures. He won every time he debated. He was undefeated in twenty-four debates and became famous in Luoyang.
.
At the beginning, Yuan Shao observed the death of his mother for three years and made up for his father's mourning for three years. Later, he lived in seclusion in Luoyang and formed a friendship with heroes. He traveled between Heluo and Heluo in order to plan important events. When he heard about Zhao Wu's name, he sent Cao Cao to watch.
, Shao asked and replied: I have never seen such a hero.
Shao Xi welcomed Zhao Wu to see him and discussed with him. He was shocked, so he paid homage to his guest and served him wine.
In the first month of the fifth year of Guanghe's reign, Xiaoxi issued an edict to the officials to report to the governor. The governor was greedy and harmed the people, so he wanted to eliminate the harm to the world.
Taiwei Xu Kuan and Sikong Zhang Ji flattered the eunuchs and accepted bribes. They ignored all the eunuchs' children and guests who were corrupt officials. Instead, they reported twenty-six people from a small remote county who were upright officials and had great political achievements. The people were wronged.
Then he gathered in Luoyang and went to the palace to complain about his grievances.
At that time, Rong was the governor of Zhuo County, and he was also among them. Zhaowu knew that Rong was honest and loved the people, so he avenged Rong, or said that he should avoid suspicion. Zhaowu was angry and said: Those who are greedy will be promoted, and those who are honest will be dismissed. If things go on like this, the country will not be a country, and it will be more difficult for the country.
I am alone, which one is more important?
Everyone felt grateful and could help. At that time, Situ Chen Dan, Sili Xiaowei Guo Hong, and Yilang Cao Cao all helped Zhao Wu. They drove the palace together and wanted to go to the Xiyuan to see Xiao Xi. Zhang Rang, the general servant, was blocked by Zhao Zhong. Zhao Wu
The majestic man bound Zhong with his hands, gave way, and said loudly: Your Majesty, do you want to see the blood of your loyal minister?
Xiaoxi ordered Zhaowu to go to see him, Zhaowu complained, and Xiaoxi thought it was a good thing, so he dropped the case. Twenty-six officials were restored to their posts, and later entered the court, all of them were Yilang. Many people thought that Zhaowu had high merit, and his reputation became more and more prominent.
In the past, during the reigns of Guangwu, Xiaoming, and Xiaozhang, the imperial court promoted both the Modern Classics and the Ancient Classics. The country was growing increasingly powerful, but Xiaozhang ignored it, so it dismissed the Ancient Classics and only respected the Modern Classics. By the time of Xiaoxi, it had been a hundred years, and the country's power was declining, its prestige was waning, and internal affairs were weakened.
There are traitors and sycophants, and there are barbarians and thieves outside. It is a troubled time. Therefore, we should only respect modern texts and ignore ancient texts.
Xiaoxi noticed that he wanted to introduce ancient classics into official studies to make up for the shortcomings of modern classics. However, the modern literary schools all belong to high-ranking families, occupy high positions in the court, are greedy for power and position, and focus on family and private interests. They do not want ancient classics.
After entering the official school, he went to the table to refute the argument.
Xiao Xi was angry and thought that the modern literature school valued the family and despised the country, so they did not make officials who governed modern literature, but appointed those who governed ancient literature as officials. The modern literature school was afraid and the refutation became more and more urgent.
At that time, the ancient literary school, led by Zhi, Ma Rixi, Fu Qian, Jia Xi, Zheng Tai, etc., gathered together to discuss matters. However, the current literary school is so powerful that it is worrying that although there are many people, it cannot be stopped.
Zhaowu was angry and said before: They have a closed inheritance and only value blood relatives. We open the door wide and recruit heroes from all over the world. This is a win and a defeat. They focus on prophecies and what they learn is nonsense. We are down-to-earth and inherit Confucius.
Righteous way, these are two wins and two defeats. They emphasize power and skills, neglect academics, and lose their original intention. We despise power and emphasis on academics, and uphold the way of sages without forgetting. These are three wins and three defeats. With these three wins, why worry?
Is our way unpopular?
Everyone was excited and believed that what Zhao Wu said was true, so they argued with the modern literature school.
Zhaowu was good at debating. He won every thirty-one debates in three days. Another day, one against nine, he won all. The loser covered his face and cried. Zhaowu stood up proudly, which shocked Luoyang. Everyone called Zhaowu to debate the classics.
god.
The modern literary school was defeated and collapsed. Xiaoxi issued an edict to enroll Zuo Shi Chun Qiu into the official school, and dismissed Gongyang Chun Qiu.
When he entered Luo, he also thought that Zhaowu was highly skilled in martial arts, so he passed it on to Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals.
At the beginning, the Yuan family in Runan and the Xun family in Yingchuan were all high-ranking officials. They started arguing in Luoyang. Yuan Wei and Xun Shuang were very powerful because of the ancient literary school. There were also eunuchs who were eyeing them and did not want to break with them. Everyone was unwilling to do so.
, so he respected Taiwei Yang Ci and his enemy, Wei Shuang retreated angrily and became a member of the ancient literature school.
The Ancient Literature School was accepted by the Yuan family and the Xun family, and a party dispute between Yuan and Yang broke out in Luoyang. The storms arose, chaos was not peaceful, Luoyang was in chaos, and people at the time called it a whirlpool.
In the middle of Jianning, the great sage Zhang Jiao preached in Jizhou, called Taiping Dao. The master of Taiping Dao held a nine-section staff as a talisman and taught people to kowtow and think about their faults. Drinking talisman water made them recover from illness or light day.
If it is said that this person believes, but he may not be cured, then it is said that this person does not believe, so many people believe.
Outside Jizhou, Jiao sent his disciples to preach. In more than ten years, it spread all over eight states, with hundreds of thousands of believers. Jiao then established thirty-six squares, with more than ten thousand people in Dafang, and six or seven thousand people in Xiaofang.
Qu Shuai is in charge of the affairs.
At that time, the world was in chaos and Luoyang was in turmoil. Jiao was destined to return to heaven, so he said that "the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should be established." In order to plot a rebellion, he sent envoys to the thirty-sixth place to make an appointment to start a rebellion, saying, "at the age of Jiazi, the world
Good luck".
In the twelfth month of the sixth year of Guanghe's reign, Jiao and Jiao's brother Bao died violently. The Taiping Taoist movement was in chaos and many dispersed, some of whom did not follow. However, adhering to Jiao's will, they gathered together to start an uprising. Jizhou was in chaos, and Taoists gathered in Henan. Rebellion broke out in the lands of Yan, Qing, and Xu, with more than 100,000 people in attendance, and the whole world was shaken.
Xiaoxi was shocked when he was rewarded, so he sent Zhi, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song and others to put down the rebellion. Zhaowu led his followers to Hebei and served as vanguards. They defeated the rebels many times. After the rebellion was over, he ordered Zhi to be the shepherd of Jizhou. Zhaowu returned Beijing, combined with previous efforts, promoted Shangshu Pushe Zuocheng.
At that time, the chaos in Luoyang continued, and the modern literary school was powerful and suppressed the ancient literary school. Zhaowu sued Xuan and set up the Ministry of General Affairs to fight against it.
At the end of the Guanghe period, chaos broke out in Liangzhou. Huang Zhongyi started from the north as a rebel force and connected with the Qiang people. They spread all over Anding, Jincheng, Longxi and other counties. He promoted Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and others as generals, and later promoted Bianzhang. Han Sui became a general and became increasingly powerful.
The governor Zuo Chang stole tens of millions due to the military's rise. Shi Gaixun, the governor of Hanyang County, disobeyed the advice and sent Xun to guard Ayang County in order to punish him for military crimes. However, because of his military exploits, Bian Zhang and others attacked Jincheng and killed him. The governor of the county, Chen Yi, Xun persuaded Chang to rescue him, but he refused.
The imperial court sent envoys there, and they found out that Chang had embezzled tens of millions of military expenses. Xiao Xi was so angry that he dismissed him from office and ordered him to be imprisoned and threatened with death.
The court discussed that Zhaowu had important territory in Liangzhou and should send troops to conquer it with good generals. Yilang Cao Cao followed him and gave him the gift. Zhaowu was young and incompetent. He refuted it and appointed the Confucian minister Song Xiao as the governor of Liangzhou. Xiaoxi gave him the gift. Mature and prudent, Xu.
When Xiao went to Liangzhou, he was worried about the rebellion of many bandits. He said to Xun: Liangzhou lacks academic knowledge, so it often leads to rebellion. Now I want to write more "The Classic of Filial Piety" so that every family can learn from it, and the common people may know the righteousness.
Xun's admonishment said: In the past, Taigong granted Qi, Cui Zhu killed the king, Boqinhou Lu, Qingfu usurped the throne, are there no shortage of scholars in these two countries? Now, if we don't rush to calm down the difficulty, something unexpected happens suddenly, which is enough to build a feud with a state. You should also make fun of the imperial court, and Xun doesn't know how to do it.
Xiao knew what he said, but he thought that the situation in Liangzhou was urgent and it was difficult to restore the world, so he refused to follow it and carried out the memorial. As a result, he was criticized by the imperial edict, dismissed from his position, and made people laugh. He was so embarrassed that he retired due to illness.
The situation in Liangzhou became more and more urgent. Xiaoxi appointed Yang Yong as the governor and Yongshi as an official. However, he was unable to save his life. In the first month of the second year of Zhongping, he went to the imperial court and announced that there were 80,000 rebels in Liangzhou. The official army was defeated and he cried for help. Xiaoxi knew Zhaowu's loyal words.
Sikong Cui Lie wanted to abandon Liangzhou because of its poor land and lack of people. Zhaowu was furious and said: "Beside Liangzhou, in the land of Sanfu, are the tombs of the former emperors. The public abandoned Liangzhou and wanted to use the tombs of the former emperors to fight with the rebels." yeah?
He was so frightened that he confessed his crime and retreated.
Xiaoxi thought that Liangzhou could not be abandoned, so he issued an edict to select generals and gave him Zi Biao. He said that Huangfu Song, the general of the left, was good at conquering Liangzhou. Xiaoxi ordered Huangfu Song to lead the army to conquer Liangzhou.
Song thought highly of himself and led his troops to go on a campaign, but it was unfavorable. There was no success for several months, so he resigned from his post and ordered to replace him with Zhang Wen.
Zhaowu heard about it and wanted to join the army, but many people persuaded him. Zhaowu said: If Liangzhou is not protected now, the three auxiliaries will be in danger. Are the eggs intact? I am a clan member of the Han Dynasty. If I don’t join the army, am I willing to be a slave to the subjugation of the country?
At that time, many people used Zhaowu to build the country and praised him highly. Zhaowu got a lot of help. He led Yu, Fei, Sun Jian, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Dong Huang and others to join the army, entered the land of Sanfu, fought with the thieves, and stabbed Beigong Boyu on his horse. Go down, take down his leader, defeat his army, and win a great victory.
At first, Wen did not want Zhaowu to join the army because he was the son of Zhaowu's daughter, but now he realized that Zhaowu's bravery was the best among the three armies. Later, Wen sent Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen to lead the troops into Liangzhou, marching in two directions, and Zhaowu was responsible for supervising the rear affairs.
Shen marched into Yuzhong City, besieged the city and attacked, but failed. The thieves attacked the grain road, and Zhaowu broke it. He went to warn Shen, but Shen was shocked and wanted to retreat. Zhaowu said, "If we retreat now, we will fail. I hope the general will see clearly."
Emperor Shencang said: "The grain road is attacked, how can we not retreat?"
Zhaowu Nai said: I will lead the troops to attack the bandit's food road, and the general will lead the troops to attack the city. I have heard that the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road. Now the two armies are facing each other, relying on nothing but courage. General, what do you think?
Zhaowu issued a military order, and Shen followed it and sent Zhaowu's 10,000 troops to attack the thieves' food road. The thieves were frightened and sent tens of thousands of troops to rescue them. Zhaowu's lone army stood firm and fought bloody battles for more than ten days.
After retreating, Yuzhong City collapsed, and Han Sui was killed or captured in Bianzhang.
Wen Zhi was overjoyed, and with Zhaowu as the chief contributor, he went to Luoyang.
Hou Shen and Zhuo each won a complete victory and killed tens of thousands of rebels. In the first month of the third year of Zhongping, Liangzhou was in chaos. Zhaowu returned to his army and saw Gai Xun.
The conversation was very pleasant, and the later heroes came out, and the people in Yun'an and Liangzhou will definitely show off their martial arts.
Xiaoxi was overjoyed and rewarded the army generously. Wanting to show his honor, Zhaowu asked himself to be the shepherd of Liangzhou, willing to guard the country's borders and guard the imperial mausoleum. Xiaoxi recognized Zhaowu's loyalty and bravery, so he agreed and ordered Zhaowu to be the general of the left, Fan Yang.
County Marquis, Liangzhou Mu, Zhijie.
At that time, everyone thought it was unwise for Zhaowu to go to Liangzhou, and they were worried about him. They sent Su to be afraid of Zhaowu, and they wanted to kill Zhaowu. When he was seriously ill, when he heard about it, he laughed with great joy and died.
Zhaowu went to Liangzhou, and Xun went out of the city for thirty miles to greet him. Zhaowu was so happy that he entered the city together with Xun in hand. Later, he and Xun discussed the affairs of governing Liangzhou. Xun wanted to govern Liangzhou with great prestige and benevolence. Zhaowu deeply agreed with him, so he sent Yu away.
, Fei, Dun, Yuan, and Huang commanded their troops to conquer Buchen and exterminate the bandits in March.
Xun also selected Yan Zhong, Yan Wen, Jia Xu, Pang De and Zhaowu as all outstanding talents, so they were awarded officials.
Hou Zhaowu did light corvee and low taxes, practiced benevolent government, made salt, smelted iron, built roads, built water conservancy, built collective farms, and served the thirty-six Qiang tribes. In more than a few years, Liangzhou was greatly governed. It was Xiaoming, and it was unprecedented since Xiaozhang.
All praised.
In April of the fourth year of Zhongping, Xianbei invaded, and Zhaowu was furious. He led his troops in the Northern Expedition and defeated it. He captured 300,000 prisoners of war and more than 2 million cattle, sheep and horses. This was a rare feat since the Zhongxing Dynasty. The western frontier was shaken and Liang Liang was defeated.
In the state, everyone respects you and no one dares to disobey.
I went to Luoyang, Xiaoxi was happy, and appointed Zhaowu as the general of chariots and cavalry.
Later, when Liangzhou prospered, Zhaowu offered Liangzhou fine salt, ironware, and peach wine as tribute to Luoyang, and Xiaoxi was delighted.
In the early days, Xuan Yizhao was highly skilled in martial arts, and Xu Zhaowu passed on Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals. In the fourth year of Zhongping, Zhaowu succeeded in passing on the inheritance and established a state school in Liangzhou.
Zhaowu Nashi was a powerful man who enrolled Li Shu into the school. He preached that he would teach without distinction and run a school of benevolence, justice, etiquette and wisdom. Scholars from poor families but good ones would be exempted from tuition fees. Liangzhou people followed this and were proud to study in the state.
In the eleventh month of the fourth year, Xianling Qiang, Baima Qiang, and Shenlang Qiang invaded Longxi. At that time, Zhang Fei, the governor of Longxi County, led his troops to defend the area. When Zhaowu heard about it, he was furious and led his troops to conquer them. They defeated them and wiped out the three tribes.
When the Thirty-six Qiang tribe heard this, they were shocked and sent envoys to make an alliance with Zhaowu. Zhaowu made a bloody alliance with Zhaowu and agreed not to invade each other, and the Thirty-six Qiang tribe was at peace.
At the beginning, the household registration in Liangzhou was only 500,000 people. If a person gave birth, many people would drown in order to avoid calculating and paying taxes. Zhao Wu couldn't bear it. Because Liangzhou was poor, the officials were vicious, and the taxes were heavy, he ordered the government to pay the taxes on his behalf and implement virtuous government.
The elders of Liangzhou felt deeply about it, so they established a shrine for Zhaowu.
In the fifth year, the Yellow Turbans in Yizhou resurrected, and the army fought with them, but could not defeat them, so they ordered Zhaowu to supervise the military affairs of Liangyi and Liangzhou. Zhaowu led troops in and defeated the rebel army within a few months. When Xiaoxi heard about it, he promoted Zhaowu to the Cavalry General.
, two thousand additional towns were added, and ten thousand households were granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households.
Everyone in Yizhou'an respected Zhaowu and admired Zhaowu's bravery. There was also a man named Gong who admired Zhaowu and gave him his two daughters. Zhaowu accepted him and became more and more powerful.
At the beginning, Zhang Yan and others caused chaos in Bingzhou and threatened Hedong. The officers and soldiers fought with them, but it was not good. Huangfu Song died, Luoyang was shaken, how could Xiaoxi advance, and He Miao led his troops to fight with them, but they could not be pacified for a long time. Later Yan
Please surrender, Xiao Xi agreed, Hedong was leveled, and the He family became more and more powerful.
Xiao Xi did not like his eldest son Bian, and preferred his second son Xie. Because the queen's own family was powerful, she was uneasy, so she gave in to Zhong and others. Xiao Xi agreed to it, and ordered the Xiyuan Army to be the emperor's personal army, with Xiaohuangmen Jianshuo.
The commander-in-chief also appointed Dong Chong as the general of chariots and cavalry, and led the troops of the capital together with Jin.
Jin was uneasy, so he met Yuan Wei secretly. He suspected that Xiao Xi had the intention of abolishing the elders and establishing younger ones. At that time, the Yuan family was prosperous with military achievements and they married Jin. Wei then told him: Everyone knows the intentions of the Tian family. If they don't take action early, they may lead to disaster.
For future generations, it is a big deal to abolish the elders and raise the younger ones. I hope the general will make plans in advance.
Jin became more and more uneasy and said: It is difficult to disobey your order, what can I do?
Wei Nai said: I heard that in the past, Emperor Gaozu did not like Emperor Hui and wanted to depose him. Empress Gao asked Sihao from Shangshan to assist him. Emperor Gaozu then agreed to take the position of Emperor Hui. Why didn't the general make plans for him earlier?
Think about it.
At that time, the world was in turmoil, and those who were hopeful thought that there would be a large number of soldiers in the capital, and there was blood in the two palaces. The general Sima Xu Liang, pretending to be Sima Wudang, said to Jin: "Tai Gong's Six Tao", there is an emperor who can control the military, and he can be awe-inspiring in all directions, so Jin thinks it is so.
, who spoke to Xiaoxi, so he issued an imperial edict to send out troops from all directions, and preached the importance of peace and optimism in martial arts.
Afterwards, the troops from all four directions did not retreat, but restrained their advance. As the advance became more and more powerful, Xiao Xi was frightened and angry, and said, "I would like to order the General Hussar to lead his troops back."
Xiaoxi thought it was a good idea, so he ordered Zhaowu to lead his troops back to Luoyang.
At first, Zhaowu was friendly with Shao, and Shao Yin was the guest of honor. Later, Zhao Wu rose to prominence, but Shao Nai was not satisfied. He was deeply jealous of Zhao Wu's talents, and told Wei that Zhao Wu had great ambitions.
If you are an enemy of plants, you will not get along with them, and there will be many dissensions.
When Zhaowu led his troops back to Wei, Shao felt uneasy, so he told Jin that Zhaowu had great ambitions. Jin was shocked, so he made Zhaowu an enemy and led his troops to confront each other. Luoyang was uneasy.
At that time, Xiaoxi was ill, so Zhaowu was in charge. Zhaowu was always popular and had many people to help him. Jin, Wei, Shao and others became more worried and felt that they were not defeated. They wanted to recruit Dong Zhuo, the governor of Bingzhou, to lead troops into Luoyang to build up his momentum. Although Zhuo was
Wei's old officials didn't like Wei's arrogance, so he secretly told Zhao Wu.
When Zhaowu heard about it, he was shocked and told Xiaoxi that Jin and others wanted to rebel. Xiaoxi was shocked and angry, so he abolished his eldest son Bian and established the younger son's association. He ordered Zhaowu to get rid of the thieves. Zhaowu followed the order to get rid of the thieves. He fought with the thieves and defeated them.
Chu Kui, Jin, and Xiao Xi were overjoyed when they heard about it.
So he deposed the Queen He, established his youngest son Xie as the crown prince, ascended the throne by imperial edict, and appointed Zhaowu as the general to assist the government. However, he died in half a day, and Zhaowu was in tears.
When Xiaoxian first came to the throne, he ordered to change the Yuan Dynasty to Jian'an next year. Since he was young and incompetent in common affairs, he appointed Zhaowu to assist the government with full power.
Zhaowu worked conscientiously and fulfilled his duties, not daring to miss a single day. Luoyang was safe, but the remaining members of the Yuan family, Shao, Shu and others, fled Luoyang to Hebei and Runan to recruit troops. They pretended that Zhaowu had usurped power and plotted against Xiaoxi, so he told the world that he wanted to raise troops.
Discuss Luoyang.
Zhao Wu then informed the world about Shao, Shu and other unruly things, and ordered the world to punish the thieves, and many people followed him. Zhao Wu then ordered the soldiers in the Central Plains to fight against Shu.
At that time, in Nanyang, he went against the grain and imposed excessive levies. The people were dissatisfied. He also used troops to plunder the states of Chen and Pei. He attacked and killed Chen Wang Chong and the Prime Minister Luo Jun, which shocked the whole world.
Zhaowu was furious and sent troops to challenge Shu. Eight commanderies followed him and attacked from all sides. However, Shu was unable to defeat him, so he defeated him. He sent his troops to Luoyang and then Zhaowu to the whole world to show the majesty of the imperial court.
Zhaowu was good at writing and loved reading. He lamented the destruction of books by the ancients and the difficulty of inheriting ancient books, so he summoned masons to carve books on stone slabs. The books in Luoyang's collection were all engraved on thousands of slabs, and they were buried deep in the ground. He said: Thousands of years later
, when future generations obtain this stone slab, they should know the difficulties of our ancestors in inheriting culture, and they should know the full picture of our era. In this way, we are not alone in our ways.
At the beginning, Yuan Shao fled to Jizhou. Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, was an old official of the Yuan family. He knew that the Yuan family was rebellious, but could not bear to kill him. Many of his subordinates tried to persuade him, but Fu could not stop him. Later, he dismissed his troops and abandoned his official position to Luoyang. Shao then captured Jizhou and Zhaowu.
After hearing this, I deeply hated the evil deeds of my disciples and former officials and wanted to eliminate them.
After Shao captured Jizhou, he conscripted and captured men as soldiers. If there was a strong man in the family, he would give birth to a son. If there was no strong man, a healthy woman would take his place. Even the widowers and widowers were sent to the army camp to serve as servants. They were all unable to escape because of their cruelty.
So far.
When Zhaowu heard about it, he wanted to send troops to attack Shao, but Shao was uneasy. Tian Feng and Shen Pei planned it, but it was difficult to do it alone. He wanted to use Wu Wan and Xianbei as foreign aid to attack Youzhou and defeat Youzhou, so he joined forces.
One place, fighting Zhaowu.
Shao thought this was true and accepted his strategy, so he led his troops north to attack Youzhou.
At the beginning, Gongsun Zan went out to the fortress and performed meritorious service because of his long history in Liaodong. Zhaowu recommended him as the governor of Youzhou because of his bravery. Zhaowu said that Shao would invade Youzhou, so he told Zan to hold on and not go out. However, Zan thought of his bravery and led his troops out lightly.
Youzhou fought with Shao and was defeated, so he retreated to Fanyang and Zhuoxian.
At the time of Wuwan, Xianbei heard that Zan had been defeated and led troops to join the bandits. Within ten months, all life in Youzhou was in ruins.
When Zhaowu heard about it, he was furious, so he told Xiaoxian, led his troops to the north, defeated Wei County, and went to Yecheng.
After that, they relieved the Wei of Fanyang, marched north to Zhuoxian County, and fought against Shao. Shao was defeated and defeated by Zhaowu. The whole army was annihilated. Zhaowu defeated his leader and destroyed his clan.
Hou Zhaowu marched eastward into Liaodong, defeated Wuwan, and then went north to conquer the grasslands, conquering Xianbei in the east and Xianbei in the center. He stretched across thousands of miles and was invincible. He captured more than 700,000 people and captured millions of cattle, sheep and horses. The remaining Xianbei people were frightened and fled westward, and northern Xinjiang
Naiping is famous all over the world.
Zhaowu's power became more and more powerful, and the Jinwen school became uneasy. At that time, Yang gave his son Biao to keep his filial piety. The modern Wenzhou school was headed by Huan Dian, Zhang Xi and others. Dian, Xi and others used Zhaowu to achieve great achievements, and they would achieve great things. They were afraid, so they
Rumors were spread all over Luoyang that Zhaowu was disloyal, and knowledgeable people were worried about it.
In April of the first year of Jian'an, Zhaowu asked Zhi, Zheng Tai, Jia Xi, Ma Rixi, Cai Yong, Fu Qian and others to express their filial piety, asking them to depose the modern text and only respect the ancient text. Luoyang was abuzz, and the momentum became stronger.
Dian, Xi and others were greatly frightened, so they plotted to assassinate Zhaowu.
Ximensheng should move to Zhaowu's General Affairs Department first, and then leave. Noting Zhaowu's kindness, he sued Zhaowu for plotting to assassinate him. Zhaowu sued Xiaoxian, but Xiaoxian was furious.
, Zhi et al. are happy.
In the seventh month of the first year of the year, Zhaowu held a meeting in the Jiade Hall to discuss with the public the fallacies of the Jinwen school, which was to respect ghosts and gods and keep them at a distance. There was no discussion of ghosts and gods in the temple, but common affairs. All the participants thought this was true.
After Zhaowu caused chaos in Bingzhou, he expressed his favor to Manchu and appointed him as the governor of Bingzhou. He expressed his favor to Guan Yu and led troops to guard the border. He wanted to make Zhang Yan and the Southern Xiongnu surrender. However, Yan and the Southern Xiongnu in Fuluo were afraid of Zhaowu's power and did not dare to resist, so they surrendered.
Bingzhou was pacified.
In the second year, Zhaowu expressed his filial piety and issued a slave restriction order.
At first, Zhaowu heard that there were more than 8 million slaves in the country, and he was deeply troubled by it. He also thought that the small number of farmers and the large number of slaves was a sign of the country's collapse, so he decided to limit the number of slaves. Maybe he said it would involve a big deal. Zhaowu was angry and said: Is it more involved than the country's subjugation?
After the slave restriction order was issued, the Central Plains was in turmoil. Many slaveholders were dissatisfied and gathered people to rebel. Zhaowu said: If you want to benefit the country's life and death, how can you avoid it because of misfortunes and blessings?
He then mobilized troops to quell the rebellion. In just over a month, more than 400 households in Sili were defeated and 250,000 slaves were freed. In the next month, more than 400,000 slaves were freed. By July of the second year, 9 slaves were freed in Sili.
More than 100,000.
Zhaowu was good at writing, good at commanding troops, and was also good at governing the country. He established six departments in the general's office to manage the country's affairs. From the top to the filial piety, to the bottom to the officials, his words were smooth, and those who were able to follow him were able to govern and manage people. The country was prosperous and everyone followed.
Of.
In the fourth year of his reign, Zhaowu showed his filial piety and built a Zhongshutai to control the country's troops. Then he took the local military power into the court. The world was so big that no one dared not to obey. He also cast the general's money and bound it with fine salt. The imperial edict was to use the general's
Money can be used to buy fine salt, and the rest cannot be used. The general's money is the rule in the world.
In November, Guan Yu led his troops south to Yangzhou to attack the remnants of Taiping Road.
In April of the fifth year, Zheng Tai, Jia Xi and others spread rumors that Zhaowu had disobedient intentions and wanted to put Zhaowu to death.
At the beginning, Tai, Xi and Zhaowu both belonged to the ancient literature school, and they were close and friendly. However, Zhaowu was upright and upright. He established the State Council system and wanted to bring great order to the world. He emphasized the capabilities of the bureaucracy. Those who were capable were promoted and those who were incompetent were demoted. This was the way to go.
Ran Tai, Xi and others focused on family and private interests, similar to the modern literary school. The disciples and disciples who were incompetent also occupied high positions. Those who were capable but not the disciples and disciples had no way to serve the country. Zhaowu thought it was impossible, so he established the State Council system.
Tai, Xi and others were dissatisfied and tried to refute Zhaowu. If they could not succeed, they would have treacherous intentions.
When Zhao Wu heard this, he sighed deeply, saying that those who put the family's personal agenda more seriously than the laws of the country are not allowed to use it. If they want to argue with him, everyone advises him.
At that time, the world was great, and all was pacified by Zhao Wu's brave strategy. The soldiers in the four directions only knew about Zhao Wu but did not know about the imperial court. The young people were afraid of Zhao Wu instead of filial piety. Rumors started to spread and were out of control. This Tai, Xi and others
Unexpected.
Zhaowu thought of Xiaoxi and asked for his kindness, and wanted to retreat, but many of his troops followed Zhaowu's brave strategy. Xiaoxian was young, and the young leader was suspicious of the country. To advance would be unfaithful, and to retreat would be the destruction of the country. Zhaowu was in a dilemma.
At that time, the Empress Dowager Dong knew about Zhaowu, and thought that Zhaowu was loyal and brave, and as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, she would be able to stabilize the world and protect the Liu family, so she ordered Xiaoxian Zen to be located in Zhaowu. Zhaowu refused again, and Dong was angry and said: "You want to make it happen?"
The great man is in ruins. How does your name compare to that of the great man?
Zhaowu shed tears over it and fell to the ground to receive Zen.
On May 20th of the fifth year of Jian'an, Zhaowu accepted the Zen throne and ascended the throne, with the royal family Han as the queen, his eldest son Liu Shen as the prince, and his mother Wu as the empress dowager. The next year, he was changed to Yuan Zhenguan.
In the twelfth month, Zhaowu collected the classics passed down from various families and used punctuation marks to pass them on to the world. Then he stopped the Confucian tradition of passing down the classics. Led by the Liu family of Zhuo County, Zhuo County, he abandoned inheritance and emphasized the country, not the country.
The door is also a private plan.
Later, he issued an edict to announce to the world, decided to reform the law, abandoned Confucianism alone, and adopted the best of all to govern the country. He abandoned the Spring and Autumn Period and respected Han law. He also issued "Jia De Tong Yi" to inform the world, saying that if you do not follow the ancient laws, you will not follow the ancient laws.
Following today, officials do not have personal relationships, and the law does not leave behind love.
In addition, the Chinese state was narrow in territory and the world was vast, so the Han people were encouraged to expand outward and bring lands from all over the world into China, making it a national policy.
In the fifth month of the first year of Zhenguan, Zhaowu promulgated the law of Consolidation of Fields, intending to convert the fields of the world, which shocked the world.
At the beginning, when Guangwu conquered the fields, the whole country rebelled against him. Guangwu fought against it with troops, but failed to complete the task. Zhaowu felt deeply that he was in trouble and said: If he failed to conquer the fields, the country would be destroyed, so he decided to conquer the fields.
As soon as the order to save the fields was issued, rebels all over the world sprang up, and the land of Shenzhou was filled with smoke. However, Zhaowu had already established a military region in Shenzhou and stationed troops in the local area. When chaos broke out, soldiers were sent out to suppress the world with 300,000 elite soldiers. All those who rebelled were given heads.
After the chaos was settled and the law on land transfer was completed, Zhaowu was delighted and said: The Han Dynasty can live longer for three hundred years.
In the second year, Gan Ning, the general who conquered the sea, was ordered to sail from Rinan County and cross the ocean to the Qin Dynasty.
In April of the second year, Zhaowu heard about Jiaozhou's plan to seize natives as slaves, and was worried about it. However, the land transfer decree stipulated that Han people could not be enslaved but natives could be slaves.
In March of the third year, an imperial edict was issued to attack Gongsun Du of Liaodong. The general who conquered the north led Zhao to attack him and defeated him. Gongsun Du died and Liaodong was peaceful. Zhao Geng defeated Goguryeo, Sanhan, and Fuyu, and established Liaozhou in his hometown.
At the beginning, Zhaowu sent Dahonglu Dong Zhuo to the Western Regions as an envoy to restore the Western Regions Protectorate. However, many countries in the Western Regions had different intentions and it was not easy for Zhuo. Zhaowu then sent General Zhang Fei to conquer the West and General Zhao Yun to suppress the West.
The moon flew, the clouds broke through the Wusun, Kang Ju's troops destroyed the Dawan Kingdom, and the Western Region was peaceful.
Zhaowu established the Protectorate of the Western Regions, with Fei as the Protector of the Western Regions, and stationed his troops in his hometown of Dawan.
In the fifth year, the imperial examination was launched, and the internal ranking list was set up to select scholars. Three hundred thousand students from all over the country went to take the examination. There were three examinations, namely the state examination, the selective examination, and the Jun examination. There were more than ten thousand people who passed the state examination and those who passed the selective examination.
Three thousand, Jun Kao was not deposed, but Zhuge Liang, Liu Ba, Lu Yi and others were selected.
Zhaowu was pleased with Zhuge Liang, awarded him the title of champion, and gave him a bloody horse. He then sent Liang to the cabinet to observe the government. During the third month of the month, the cabinet ministers called him Neng, and Zhaowu was pleased.
In June of the sixth year, the natives of Yizhou were in rebellion, and the barbarian general Liu Sheng led his troops to fight against them. They were defeated in December. Zhaowu asked about the instability in the south of Yizhou, so he divided the territory of Yizhou into Yizhou, Zangdao, Yizhou, and Yongchang.
Qianwei established Yunzhou as a vassal state and ordered a large army to be stationed in Yunzhou to prevent it.
In the seventh year, Gan Ning, the general who conquered the sea, returned and said that he had arrived in Da Qin. He was treated courteously by the Emperor of Da Qin and all the supplies he brought were sold. Da Qin was happy and sent an envoy to Luoyang.
The shipping company was opened, and the sea route has been open since then.
In the tenth year, Zhao Fei, Yun and others sent out troops to fight against An An, Kangju and Guishuang, and defeated them. They destroyed Kang Ju and defeated the Guishang soldiers. An An heard about it and sent envoys to surrender. No one dared to fight. The power of the Han Dynasty spread far and wide.
The west border can stop children from crying at night.
In the thirteenth year, he sent an imperial edict to attack the Japanese state, captured Yinshan, and minted silver coins.
In September, Guan Yu attacked Shanyue and destroyed them all. The remaining people were registered as household members and hundreds of collective farms were built. Farming in Yangzhou flourished and Shanyue no longer existed.
In the tenth month, Lu Zhi, the emperor's teacher, died of illness. Zhaowu was greatly saddened. He left the court for three days, wore sackcloth and mourning, and wept and worshiped while facing Youzhou, saying: Without a teacher, there would be no self. Now that the teacher has passed away, I feel heartbroken and unable to eat for the whole day.
Zhuge Liang was ordered to take charge of future affairs.
In November, Zheng Xuan, the Minister of the Xianxue Department, died of illness. Zhaowu was also sad. He left the court for three days and paid homage to Qingzhou, saying: Mr. Zheng loved me and helped me. I have been with him for twenty-one years. He did not have the name of teacher and student, but he had the name of teacher and student.
Reality.
Zhuge Liang will then take charge of the affairs.
In the first month of the fifteenth year, the second son Liu Ze was granted the title of "Kang Ju" in his hometown, established the Western Qin Kingdom, and carried out the policy of enfeoffment.
At the beginning, Zhaowu wanted to implement the policy of enfeoffment after the death of Qin II after the Zhou Dynasty had lived for eight hundred years. He told everyone that the Zhou Dynasty had been pioneering and enterprising for eight hundred years. It was because the Zhou Dynasty had been stubborn and self-contained that future generations would not be as good as the Zhou Dynasty.
The policy of enfeoffment.
However, enfeoffing the border areas was difficult and dangerous. The border areas were bitter and cold, and people were reluctant to go there. Zhaowu said: "Since there is an enfeoffment, it should start with my son. If my son doesn't go, how can the son of man go there?"
Everyone is willing to follow.
In April, chaos broke out in Yunzhou. People from outside the territory invaded Yunzhou. Sheng went to ask for it, but the food and fodder could not be continued, so he had to return it. Yunzhou was shaken. At that time, Han Hao, the governor of Yunzhou, was seriously ill and could not govern. Zhaowu was worried about it.
, Zhuge Liang, the assistant minister in the cabinet, asked himself to be the governor of Yunzhou. Zhaowu was delighted and followed his advice.
In the 16th year, Piao State returned to Kou Yun Prefecture and was ill. He was succeeded by Zhang Ren. At that time, Liang governed Yun Prefecture and his father returned home. Zhang Ren led his troops to attack the Piao people. Liang led his father and old men to eat pots of slurry to help them. They won and pursued him six hundred miles away.
He defeated Piao's army, beheaded Piao's king, and captured 60,000 men. When Zhaowu heard about it, he said: "The victory of the Southern Kingdom was the first achievement of Liang."
In the seventeenth year, the prince of the Qin Dynasty came across the sea to visit. Zhaowu traveled thirty miles from Luoyang to greet him. He saw the prince. His appearance was the same as that of a Han Chinese. Although he couldn't understand the language, he could still converse with him through an interpreter. Zhaowu was so happy that he held his hand and entered Luoyang together.
The prince lived in Luoyang for three months. When he was leaving, he was enjoying himself here and did not think about the Qin Dynasty. He wanted to stay as an envoy of the Qin Dynasty. Zhaowu laughed and held hands to see him off.
In June, the imperial edict was issued to seal the kingdom of Western Shu in the north of Guishang.
In the 19th year, the imperial edict sealed the Western Jin Dynasty in the land of physical poison. Zhaowu said goodbye to his son because of its high mountains and long roads.
In the 20th year, the Western Wei Dynasty was sealed and the Western Yan Dynasty was outside the territory. It was done. Zhaowu wanted to retreat, so he asked Liang. Liang said yes. Zhaowu smiled and said: Are you not afraid of my anger?
Liang said: Your Majesty treats his ministers with sincerity, and I also treat your majesty with sincerity. There is absolutely no difference of heart.
Zhaowu laughed and said, "You are the only one who has said this. The others all think that I am easily angry and dare not say anything."
Liang Nai said: Your Majesty's willingness to abdicate is truly a shocking act that ordinary people would not dare to fathom.
Zhaowu sighed and said: Everyone in the world thinks that I am greedy for power, but I came to this position by abdication, and I should leave by abdication.
Renzong was the crown prince at the time, and Zhaowu used Renzong to govern the country. After not going to court for a long time, people may say that Renzong's power is getting stronger and stronger. He does not have the name of emperor but has the reality of emperor, which is not good for Zhaowu. Zhaowu laughed and said: "How can I guess father and son?"
Renzong heard this and sighed.
In the 23rd year, the queen's illness persisted for a long time, and Zhaowu was upset, so she abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor. Renzong accepted the throne and ascended the throne. He respected Zhaowu as the Supreme Emperor and the queen as the Supreme Empress. Next year, she was changed to Chengde.
Zhaowu retreated and did not take care of things. He stayed with the Queen Taishang all day long and personally made soups and medicines. The Queen Taishang was happy when she saw a slight improvement, but was worried when she was ill. The Queen missed her hometown, and Zhaowu returned to Zhuoxian County with the Queen Taishang.
In the second year, the Supreme Empress died, and Zhaowu was in great sorrow. She mourned all day long and could not eat. Renzong tried to persuade her, but she refused. The Empress Dowager also tried to persuade her, but she also refused.
Renzong was anxious, so he issued an edict and persuaded Liang, saying: Your Majesty does not eat all day long, damaging the holy body. The Supreme Empress has a spirit. Seeing Your Majesty like this, are you at ease?
Zhaowu cried and said: "I know, but the tears won't stop. A young couple has been together for fifty years, and they are separated for life and death. How can they not cry?"
Then he ate, his rice was wet with tears, and he never had a wife again.
Three years later, the Grand Canal was completed. Zhaowu was overjoyed and ordered Zhaoliang to accompany him on inspection. He went to Yangzhou and met Guan Yu on the banks of the river. He said with emotion: The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure are all gone, but the green mountains are still there.
Several times the sunset is red, white-haired fishermen and woodcutters are on the river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze, happily meeting each other over a pot of turbid wine. Many things in ancient and modern times have been laughed at and talked about.
Then Yu Yongyu burst into tears, and Yu also shed tears. Zhaowu and Yu got drunk together, and when Yu became ill, Zhaowu took care of him all day long, making decoctions himself, and Yu recovered from his illness.
In the fourth year of his reign, Zhaowu visited Jiaozhou in the south and arrived at Rinan County. He met the governor of Jiaozhou, Fa Zheng.
Thirty miles later, Zhaowu held his forehand and said, "You have gray hair on your head."
Feeling sad, he shed tears and said: Your Majesty has also seen gray hair!
In the fifth year, Zhaowu returned to Luoyang. He contracted an illness on the way and returned to Luoyang to recuperate. He recovered in three months. He knew about the affairs of the Western Qin and the Western Sea, so he praised Liang and said to others: "Liang is the pillar of the country."
In October of the eighth year, the Huaihe River froze and the world was shaken.
At the beginning of the Zhenguan period, Zhaowu announced that the world was getting colder and even the Huaihe River was frozen, so he started to build the Grand Canal. Many people did not believe it, but because of Zhaowu's power, no one dared to disobey. By the eighth year of Chengde, the Huaihe River was frozen, and everyone in the world knew Zhaowu's foresight.
of gods.
Zhaowu sighed and said: There is no god in the world, only humans. Those who save people are not gods, but human beings. If future generations regard me as a god, how sad will it be?
In November of the eighth year, Zhaowu fell ill. During his illness, he missed his old friend, so he reported it to Renzong. Renzong asked Liang, and Liang said Zhaowu was nostalgic, so he ordered Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Qian Zhao and others to return to Luoyang. When Zhaowu heard about it, he sighed:
Know me clearly.
Yu and others then returned, and Zhaowu came out of the city to welcome him. Yu and others were all moved, and ordered Zhao Yun, Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan and others to return to Luoyang. Later, Zhaowu and Yu and others feasted all day long and recovered from their illness.
In June of the 10th year, Liang was ill, and Zhaowu was weak at that time. The imperial doctor told Zhaowu that he should stay behind closed doors for self-cultivation.
In the first month of the eleventh year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs ordered Zhang Rang to die, and Rang followed Xiaoxi first and then Zhaowu for thirty-four years.
Renzong had six sons. The eldest son Rui died early and was promoted to the filial prince. However, the second son Ruizong survived and was loved by Zhaowu. When Ruizong was eleven years old, Zhaowu recognized Ruizong's wisdom and sent Liang to teach him, and he was appointed as the prince's grand master.
In August of the 14th year, Zhaowu celebrated Ruizong's birthday and had a feast all day long. He fell ill the next day and did not recover for a long time. In September, his illness gradually became serious and he could not find any medicine. Renzong and Ruizong were sick and worried about him.
On the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, Zhaowu knew that his time was short, so he met Yu, Fei, Zhao, Yun, etc. and talked about their farewells. Yu and others burst into tears, and then Liang returned to see Zhaowu. Zhaowu was delighted and asked Liang not to forget to come.
Time and road, part with it.
On September 11, Zhaowu Zhao Renzong, Ruizhong and other ministers came to see him and said: I have acted before and after, and I have never had any regrets in my heart. My life has been magnanimous. The only thing I worry about after my death is the country. As the saying goes, it is easy to conquer the country, but difficult to defend it.
, I deeply believe that, my life is not long now, I only have one word to tell my descendants, kings, kings and ministers are boats, and common people are water, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. This one sentence is worth thousands of words, I hope you will not forget it.
.
After finishing speaking, he lowered his head for a moment and everyone looked forward, Zhao Wu collapsed.
Emperor Zhaowu came from a slightly cold place in the border area, but he remained determined, fearless, magnanimous, and treated people with sincerity, thus achieving impossible things with impossible ambitions.
Zhaowu established himself in war, fought in Jiujiang, conquered the Yellow Turbans, conquered Liangzhou, punished the Di and Qiang, defeated Xianbei, weeded out traitors, destroyed Wuwan, pacified Hedong, restored the prefecture, incorporated Liaozhou, and the Western Regions, opened up Jiaozhou, Yunzhou, and expanded
The border extends from the West Sea in the west, to the North Sea in the north, to the East China Sea in the east, to the South China Sea in the south, and finally reaches the peak of the Han Dynasty, which was not achieved by the ancients.
At the end of Xiaoxi's reign, the Han Dynasty was in decline and on the verge of collapse, and the world was in chaos. Disobedient people emerged in droves. Zhaowu came into being and swept through the wilderness, killing all the disobedient officials. The Han Dynasty flourished again.
They smelted iron, made salt, built bridges, paved roads, built water conservancy projects, set up collective farms, built craftsmen's courtyards, built sea-going ships, issued orders to restrict slaves, establish orders for land transfer, end the tradition of family tradition, and conduct imperial examinations, all to clean up the decadence.
Changing the administration of officials, recreating a prosperous age, and showing off the merits of martial arts are comparable to those of Yao and Shun in the Tang Dynasty.
Let me just say that there are few emperors in ancient and modern times who can compare to the one who only wishes to come.
