The Yushitai officials transferred the files and quickly found out the results. In fact, they didn't need to check. It was Zhou Buyi who stood up and admitted his guilt.
The results showed that Huang Quan was the only person who framed Liu Xun in the first place, and all the other civil and military officials were innocent.
Zhou Buji announced to the world that he had fabricated evidence to prove that Huang Quan colluded with other civil and military officials to deceive Liu Zhang.
Moreover, Liu Zhang only ordered the detention of Ma Chao and others, but did not order their execution. He was afraid that his secret would be revealed during the confrontation, so he shot them on the spot.
When he reported it to Liu Zhang, he said that Ma Chao and others were stubborn and resisted arrest, so they killed him.
When the news came out, the world was shocked. Zhou Buyi was immediately at the forefront of the limelight. He had killed so many meritorious civil and military personnel. It was an unpardonable crime. People everywhere petitioned for Zhou Buyi's execution.
Emperor Liu Zhang quickly ordered Zhou Buyi to die. At the same time, he issued an edict to punish himself and reflect on his own mistakes.
A glass of wine was placed on the table. Cao Chong, Liu Xun and others stood aside. Both of them were already in their twenties, and Zhou Buyi came to Liu Zhang from a nine-year-old child and is now three years old.
Zhou Buji was sitting alone on the edge of the bed, with a calm smile on his face, when Liu Zhang walked in from outside.
"Your Majesty, you are here."
"No doubt, can you call me by my name like you did before? If this emperor continues to be emperor, I won't even know my last name."
Today, Liu Zhang no longer has the same momentum as before. His body is gradually aging, and he has been busy with state affairs. He has aged faster, and there are already signs of vicissitudes of life.
"Your Majesty." Zhou Buyi looked at Liu Zhang, stood up and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, you don't need to remember your name. Instead, you should always remember that you are the emperor.
If you want to be a foolish and mediocre king, you can only remember yourself and not your own identity.
But you have to be a wise king. To fulfill your heart's desire, you should know that some things must be given up when necessary, such as emotions."
Zhou Buyi glanced at the wine glass on the table: "Your Majesty, you don't have to feel a little guilty, whether it was the Huang family at the time, the Wenwu family who were massacred later, or Zhou Bujie now, or even the hundreds of thousands of family members who were massacred.
For a king to achieve great things, corpses and blood are unavoidable, not to mention that Your Majesty is still overthrowing an era?
Today's world is already very satisfactory to Buyi, at least all the sacrifices have not been in vain."
Zhou Busuo said with a smile: "Actually, your Majesty, do you still remember the first time you met Your Majesty on Elm Street twenty years ago? At that time, Fa Xiaozhi said that my strength was very easy to break, and I said that I had died young.
Expected it.
When he was a child, he learned the hexagram technique and told his fortune that he could live to be eighteen years old. It seems that the fortune tellers were all fake. Now that he has lived to be twenty-eight years old, he has lived for ten more years. Is there anything wrong with Zhou Buyi?
fulfilled?"
Liu Zhang was silent. Although Zhou Buyi lived to be twenty-eight years old, what he did since he was eighteen years old had already determined today's outcome.
And I can't say anything. There are too many people I'm sorry for. If I say I'm sorry one by one, it will not only be hypocritical, but I'm afraid that I will die from exhaustion without being able to finish.
Facing Zhou Buji, Liu Zhang could only feel grateful. This man had never officially given him any advice, but he had helped him so much.
Cao Chong looked intently at Zhou Buyi, who was holding the wine glass. Liu Xun was already crying.
"Your Highness, don't cry. Don't you know that your father hates you crying? Besides, you are already in your twenties now."
Zhou Bujie stretched out his hand to wipe Liu Xun's tears. This action suddenly reminded Liu Xun of the time when Zhou Buyi was reading with him.
The two brothers are the same.
Now that Zhou Buji was wiping his tears, Liu Xun realized that Zhou Buji had been taking care of him like an older brother. As Zhou Buji wiped his tears, more and more tears flowed.
"Your Majesty." Zhou Buji turned to Liu Zhang: "Perhaps Your Majesty has always had a doubt, but never said it out. Zhou Buji thanked Your Majesty for your trust in Zhou Buji.
Why did Zhou Buyi clearly know that His Majesty likes a fierce and decisive king, but he always asked His Highness to preserve his feelings and not be so decisive? Even when he was in Chang'an, even those noble families, Buyi, did not persuade His Highness to kill them all.
Now it can be said without a doubt, because conquering the world is different from ruling the world, because the first generation of kings and the second generation of kings need to do different things.
Without doubt, I can tell Your Majesty clearly that if Your Majesty's generation consolidates its foundation, the next generation of kings will still have the same character as Your Majesty, fierce and willful, and will carry out drastic reforms and kill them all when encountering resistance.
Then the foundation established by His Majesty will not go far.
The Han Dynasty can produce a majesty, but it can never produce kings like your majesty for two consecutive generations. If you do not doubt that your highness will be taught to be like your majesty, it will be a disaster."
Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel shocked when he heard Zhou Buyi's words. Perhaps only the dying Zhou Buyi could calmly face what he said.
Facing the decadent class, iron-blooded reform and forceful oppression are indeed needed, but nothing can be accomplished by relying on a moderate and power-playing king.
But can such iron-blooded reforms happen in every generation?
Reform will inevitably bring turmoil and bloodshed. Isn't the purpose of my reform not to let the people live a stable life, but to keep them immersed in the iron-blooded reform?
Indeed, after large-scale reforms, a stable environment is needed.
The first generation of kings conquered the world and made rules. What the second generation of kings should do is to continue these.
Obviously, if Liu Xun is also a cruel and ruthless person, he is not so suitable to take over the already stable country he left behind.
But now, Liu Xun is definitely not just sentimental. He knows how to employ people. He knows who treats him well. He also has the ability to manage politics. The only difference between him and himself is that he can use some tactful means to handle things and doesn't like mass killings.
.
And these do not conflict with the qualities needed by a king to rule the world.
"Fortunately, your majesty's second son has inherited the same blood as your majesty. If your majesty is still unwilling to let a benevolent king take over the country after Zhou Buyi's death, then there is another option, which is not considered to be a benevolent king."
I was forced to the point where I had no choice.”
After Zhou Buji finished speaking, he was silent for a while, then raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
"Cao Chong, I'm leaving. There's only so much I can do for His Highness. From now on, Your Highness will rely on you."
…
"Kang'er, you are already eighteen years old. You are good at martial arts, military and political strategy. Our all-out war against Baekje and Silla is about to begin. My father sent you to assist Wang Yue, and then you will stay in Baekje or Silla.
Would you like Luo to manage the internal affairs?"
Liu Zhang took Liu Kang's hand and said. Ten years ago, Liu Zhang found out the truth. Before the incident, Huang Quan found Liu Kang and asked him to put the sheep head in Liu Xun's room, but Liu Kang took the opportunity and put down the nine
The authentic copy of Chen Qun produced by Pinzhongzheng.
And Liu Zhang also knew that regardless of whether Huang Quan asked Liu Kang to put the sheep's head or not, Liu Kang had already planned to put the authentic copy of the Ninth Grade Zhongzheng system with Liu Xun, but there was no chance, and no one immediately put the authentic copy.
chance of being investigated.
It was Huang Quan who gave him such an opportunity.
But Liu Zhang never told Liu Kang that Liu Kang's putting down of Chen Qun's true book was not considered as placing blame, because it would not bring sin to Liu Xun, but only made Liu Xun lose his expectations.
Liu Zhang just asked Liu Kang: "Do you remember when Chang'an was in crisis, your brother asked you to leave first?"
Liu Kang didn't say anything at the time, but his expression told Liu Zhang that he remembered and was grateful, but he still had to do it.
At that time, Liu Zhang felt that Liu Kang's behavior was so similar to his own that he could sacrifice everything for his ideal, perhaps inheriting the throne.
On its own, Liu Kang does seem to be better than Liu Xun.
At that time, Liu Zhang couldn't make up his mind and didn't know who was more suitable to inherit his position, Liu Kang or Liu Xun, but now, Zhou Buyi gave him the answer.
…
In five years, Baekje and Silla were conquered one after another. Even if the Xu family of the Wonu Kingdom did not want to fulfill their promise, the country that was hollowed out by opium was eventually cannibalized by the Han Dynasty.
Twenty years later, Liu Zhang reorganized the Japanese slave kingdom for the first time. The Japanese slave kingdom no longer existed and was divided into Fusang Prefecture. The state governors were sent from the Han Dynasty. The talented people of the Japanese slave kingdom also began to be deployed to the Han Dynasty. Fusang Prefecture and Dianzhou were transferred to the prefecture.
Compared with other states, there is no difference.
In the past twenty years, Sun Quan still failed to counterattack the Han Dynasty. However, under the threat of Sun Quan from Yizhou and the development of transportation with Fusang Province, the Han Dynasty navy flourished and its ships have acquired ocean-going capabilities.
Finally, in 235 AD, Wei Wen led a naval expedition and captured Yizhou, and the Han army landed on Yizhou.
At the same time, due to the complete Chineseization of Fusang Prefecture, the import of opium was no longer reasonable, and Fatty Jin's opium base in Goguryeo gradually moved to Fuso Prefecture.
Large-scale seafaring fleets expanded to the outer reaches of the Pacific Ocean, and of course, all fleets brought with them the holy fruits of Buddhism and Taoism.
The glory of the Han Dynasty continues and people's livelihood continues to develop. However, veteran generals such as Huang Zhong, Wang Yue, and Yan Yan have fallen one after another, and Liu Zhang has also become old.
On the high stargazing platform, Huang Yueying, who was once unparalleled in beauty, has silver hair, but her temperament is still the same free and easy, much better than the old Liu Zhang beside her.
Many more memorial tablets were added to the Tower of Heroes. The only thing that Liu Zhang regretted was that Zhou Buyi did not enter the Tower of Heroes. Perhaps, future generations will never know that a man who should enter the Tower of Heroes has replaced a king and entered the history of traitors.
of torrent.
Listening to Liu Zhang's heavy sigh, Huang Yueying smiled slightly: "Husband, when Zhou Buyi came to serve me, he never cared about fame and fortune, nor was he a person who cared about life and death. In fact, you don't need to be too sad."
Liu Zhang turned to look at Huang Yueying and smiled slightly: "Yueying, you are always like this. You can make me feel comfortable at any time. How do you do it?"
"Oh, if you don't go back, you'll get sick from the wind blowing here for a long time. Queen Xiao and Concubine Yue won't be able to spare you, and I won't be able to make you comfortable by then."
Huang Yueying said that she ran under the stargazing platform, leaving Liu Zhang alone and messy on the stage. Is he capable of martial arts? He bullies others even when he is old.
Huang Yueying looked back at the helpless Liu Zhang, laughed twice, ran back to the stage, and helped Liu Zhang down the steps step by step.
The years roll by mercilessly like a flood, but they always leave some traces of youth.
"His Majesty Liu Zhang, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, was born in the autumn of the Han Dynasty, when the country was in ruins, when treacherous ministers harmed the country, princes fought for hegemony, and the sun and the moon failed to shine.
Revitalize the heroes of Xichuan, recruit the righteous men of the Han Dynasty, pacify the feudal princes, and settle the people in troubled times.
Subdued the Southern Barbarians and the Western Qiang, conquered Mobei in the Western Region, pacified Goguryeo, settled Yizhou Island, and settled Fusang Prefecture.
Inheriting the virtues of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Qin Emperor's majestic sweep across the country, and the Han Wu's majesty whipping across the desert.
Following the achievements of reviving the Han Dynasty, converting the people with the New Deal, civilizing the barbarians, and opening up the territory. He is the great emperor of the Han Yuan Dynasty and His Majesty.
Taking advantage of the vastness of the world and the blessings of the emperor, we built an altar to worship, blessed with jade plates, and told ghosts and gods from all over the world to worship the heaven and earth."
On the top of Mount Tai, the sound is loud and clear.
Liu Zhang, dressed in yellow clothes, stepped onto the altar step by step, knelt down and saluted amidst the solemn music, and threw a jade plate into the altar.
All civil and military officials stood at the altar, looking toward the endless sky from the direction where Liu Zhang stood.
But within sight, what really catches the eye is Liu Zhang's back standing on a high platform and worshiping the sky.
The clouds are shining, the mountain wind is howling, and there is only one person in the sky and the earth, the real Nine-Five Supreme Being.
At this moment, Liu Zhang suddenly felt like he was out of control at a high place. Perhaps it was because people had left one by one over the years that he was not used to standing alone.
Even though I am high up, I still feel lonely and boundless.
"Proclamation, the Dharma is at hand."
Fazheng walked slowly to the altar, breathing heavily, and huddled up.
"You are getting old too, hahaha." Liu Zhang laughed loudly. "Do you still remember that night outside Xiangyang City? How strong you would have been if you pushed me into the mud pit."
Fazheng also laughed, and then he lost his breath and started coughing again.
The jade plate that bequeathed heaven needed to contain the congratulatory message of the King of Zen. Liu Zhang took the jade pen and was slow to write on the jade plate. After a while, he asked sadly: "Xiaozhi, for decades, I have remembered it for so many years."
I’m not sure, do you still remember the original Jiangzhou Garden?”
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really can't remember clearly."
Fazheng looked at the document in the altar, and the memories of the quiet night garden came to his mind little by little.
"Xiao Zhi...Today in Jiangzhou, in this garden, we bet on a bright future with the number of one to nine, Xiao Zhi, do you dare?"
"A clear world?" Fazheng's heart skipped a beat, "Eradicate the aristocratic families and return benefits to the common people. The four major civil servants will be promoted to official positions so that every Han citizen, no matter how rich or poor, can have a fair chance to become an official. Even doctors and craftsmen will have channels to do so.
Showing your talents, such a world is really bright and prosperous.
But is it worth it to count one to nine?"
…
If you can trample the filth of the world under your feet, one or nine will be enough.
"Lord, I dare." Fazheng finally nodded, his tone full of determination.
"Aren't you afraid that you will die before your great work is completed?" Liu Zhang said with a smile.
"What's so scary about death?"
"Historical writing is in the hands of literati."
"My lord, Fazheng has figured it out. Even if he dies like Wang Mang without a complete body and remains in disgrace for thousands of years, Fazheng is willing to follow the lord and fulfill his grand ambition."
Starlight shone in the garden, and the night wind caused the grass to sway, as if they were exchanging secrets with each other. It was on this quiet night that one king and one minister reached a lifelong contract, and the whole world of Han Dynasty was washed away by the contract of that ordinary night.
Liu Zhang brought up the jade pen and finally wrote four words on the jade plate: "Bright Universe". (To be continued...)
