Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 268
"Eighty, not ten thousand?"

Seeing this barrage discussion from modern audiences, Lin Feng was completely speechless, bro, did you collect the tattered ones?
This "treasure" of mine took a lot of effort to make.

The materials alone cost me 30 yuan.

And artificial?
The host Lin Feng stood in the time and space 2000 years ago, raised his head, and said with righteous indignation: "There is no one hundred and eight, don't even think about it."

In the end, the ownership of these two "ancient globes" was also given to the two emperors of the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties - Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che and Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.

As for the desperate Liu Bang?

In front of many children and grandchildren, he did not have the cheek to snatch things that belonged to his great-grandson Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Afterwards, there were palace slaves from the Han Dynasty who cleaned up the mess, and everyone sat down on the ground again.

Without the bowls, chopsticks, cups and pots, the hall looks more tidy and polite, and the theme of the conversation can return.

Lin Feng walked to the center, and in front of more than 30 emperors of the Han Dynasty, he said, "Seniors, in fact, this junior came here through time travel, and not only prepared a gift, next, senior emperors of the Han Dynasty, you can Everyone tells about their life achievements, whoever has made the most contributions to Kyushu, to the country, to the common people, and to the people, the younger generation will offer a more solemn gift with both hands."

Liu Bang quickly asked, "Mr. Lin, what is the extra gift you prepared?"

The elegant Emperor Wen of Han also said, "Mr. Lin, can we feast our eyes first?"

Lin Feng did not refuse, "Everyone, please take a look."

An iron box appeared out of thin air in the blink of an eye.

The iron box is nearly one person tall, the color of the camouflage uniform, and there are stickers around it, so the things inside cannot be seen clearly.

Lin Feng added, "The younger generation can disclose in advance that the contents of this iron box are 2000 kinds of priceless utensils that were used in battlefields after 17 years..."

"Special equipment for war?"

"Used by soldiers or generals after 2000?"

"Is it possible to fly into the sky and escape from the ground?"

"With Mr. Lin's ability, since he did it, he is definitely not ordinary. Maybe he can have the legendary armor? Immortal blade?"

"There are 17 kinds of military equipment in total. If you can get one, you can definitely brag about it when you return to the palace."

"Then, let's get started!"

……

For a while, the emperors of the Han Dynasty whispered to each other, and each of them had their own little thoughts.

This dialogue between ancient and modern times has changed somewhat.

of course.

This can be regarded as an innovation of Lin Feng, abandoning the previous rigid dialogue, since all the emperors of a great dynasty are gathered in one space-time plane, the way of dialogue must be novel.

If you talk to each other one by one, you won't be able to finish talking for three days and three nights.

Therefore, it is definitely the best way for you big Han emperors to tell their own achievements and evaluate themselves appreciatively.

In this way, viewers watching the program can also have a clear understanding of these emperors of the Han Dynasty.

"I'm the first to come!"

Liu Bang stood up, with his hands behind his back, and walked in the central aisle of the hall, and began to tell his life experience eloquently as he walked.

For Liu Bang, there are too many modern film and television dramas.

Liu Bang's life is indeed an extraordinary experience. In the same era as Qin Shihuang, he had seen the demeanor of the emperor through the ages, but he revolted and overthrew the Great Qin Dynasty established by the emperor through the ages. , carried out the famous four-year "Chu-Han Contest for Hegemony", and finally defeated the Chu Overlord, creating a prosperous and prosperous Han Dynasty for hundreds of years.

And Liu Bang's starting point was just a commoner.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a legendary story of a dick's counterattack.

The second one to get up was Han Hui Emperor Liu Ying. However, in his life, Han Hui Emperor had no legendary experience, no battles, no shocking policies, and no domineering quotations. So he simply said a word, and then sat back in place.

The status of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty is indeed embarrassing. He was mixed between Liu Bang and Emperor Wen Jing. In addition, he died young and had a "female ruthless emperor" Lu Zhi on his head. It was really difficult for him to do anything big.

Then Emperor Wen of Han came out.

If it was a normal day, he would definitely not fight for anything, but he was also tempted by the gift from after 2000.

Emperor Wen's own story.

There are no ups and downs like Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, but it does not prevent him from being a perfect emperor in Chinese history.

In Lin Feng's opinion, from the various ancient books and historical materials he is familiar with, he also believes that Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty Liu Heng is one of the most perfect emperors in ancient China.

Emperor Hanwen, an ancient man, can satisfy almost all our imaginations about Renjun.

Throughout China's 2000-year history of imperial rule, it is difficult to find an emperor who can be praised by the world in all aspects.big
In most cases, people's evaluation of them is mixed, or they are hard-working but have mediocre political achievements;

However, Emperor Hanwen not only created the first prosperous age in Chinese feudal history in terms of governance, but what is even more rare is that in terms of personal conduct, he also truly convinced people with virtue.

Many people believe that he met almost all the expectations of a wise king.

To use the more popular words nowadays, he is almost a perfect emperor without "black spots".

Speaking of which, Liu Heng was accidentally pushed to the throne during the struggle of powerful officials.Originally, these power ministers wanted to control the government by manipulating Liu Heng, a seemingly incompetent and powerless emperor. However, what they never expected was that this seemingly weak and powerless emperor would actually be in power during his subsequent reign. Demonstrated outstanding ability to govern the country and extraordinary charisma.

Although Emperor Wen was not the founder of the Han Dynasty, what he faced was a society where people's livelihood was also in decline and a thousand things were waiting for prosperity.

Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty took the death of Qin Dynasty as a lesson, and knew well the significance of the quality of people's lives to the stability of the regime.

Therefore, he began a series of reforms aimed at improving people's livelihood and consolidating the regime.Politically, he used force to quell the rebellion of princes and kings, and maintained peace with the Xiongnu through peace; economically, he promulgated policies to reduce taxes and corvees, which stimulated the enthusiasm of farmers for production.Through a series of means, the political situation was stabilized and the economy recovered, which opened the prelude to the "Government of Wenjing".

In addition to his strong political skills, Emperor Han Wen was also praised for his personal virtues.During the more than 20 years of his reign, he has always maintained a thrifty and simple style. Not only did the palaces and gardens never build new buildings, but his clothes and horses did not update for a long time.According to literature records, Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty once wanted to build a terrace, and it would cost a hundred gold, so he said: "A hundred gold is equivalent to the property of ten middle-class families. Terrace.” So the plan to build a terrace was discontinued.What is even more touching is that the last will he made before his death was to bury himself lightly, without cloth, carts or weapons, and all the funerary utensils were made of pottery, and gold, silver, copper, and tin were not allowed to be decorated. It is very rare among the kings of all dynasties.

Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty was also known as benevolent in history.He once reformed the criminal law, abolished the law of accepting children and sitting together, and no longer imposed joint sittings on relatives of offenders; abolished the crime of slander and gossip, so that the people gained a certain degree of freedom of speech.

In addition, he also abolished cruel corporal punishment, which is a great progress in the construction of the legal system in ancient China and a big step towards civilization.The benevolence of Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty is also reflected in his love for the people.

He once ordered local officials to condolences to the elderly over 80 years old on time, and distributed rice, meat, cloth and other items to them.

In times of famine, he also introduced temporary policies to provide relief to the people.Just as Zhu Xi, a famous Confucianist in the Song Dynasty, said: "Below three generations, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty can be regarded as the master of respect and thrift." It can be seen that, in the eyes of Confucian scholars, the benevolence of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty may be second only to Yao and Shun, and even Tang Taizong Li Shimin could not compared with him.

The "Wen" in the posthumous title of "Emperor Han Wen" means "Jiangtianweidi". During his reign, he was politically enlightened, economically prosperous, and culture and education flourished. He was Emperor Wen.Later, it was added the temple name "Taizong" by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and became one of the four emperors with temple names in the Han Dynasty.

When Sima Qian commented on Emperor Han Wen, he even quoted the words of Confucius: "Being benevolent after the world, a good man can rule the country for a hundred years, and he can overcome the disabled and kill."

Praise that only under the rule of a benevolent king like Emperor Wen of Han, the country can last forever.

In Emperor Wenwen's own comments, modern audiences have a better understanding of this perfect king.

Soon after, Emperor Han Jing, the first "rule of Wen Jing" in Chinese history, came to the center.

Unexpected.

Emperor Han Jing didn't say much, only mentioned three people, and returned to his seat in a few words.

Those three people were the ones that Emperor Han Jing was ashamed of all his life.

One is Chao Cuo. Before suppressing the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty mistakenly believed in treacherous schemes and killed this minister by mistake.

One is Zhou Yafu, the general who put down the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion in three months, but ended up being alienated by Emperor Han Jing, killed, and finally died of a hunger strike.

The other is the princes and princes of the Liu family. Back then, Liu Bang divided his royal family into various places, but when Emperor Han Jing came, the war broke out, and nearly half of the Liu family kings were killed by Emperor Han Jing.

These three are all knots in the heart of Emperor Han Jing.

Lin Feng, who came from a later generation, felt that Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had nothing to be ashamed of. As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he should put the community and the common people as the most important thing in everything.

Chao Cuo's death is not a manslaughter, because of the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, Emperor Jing and Chao Cuo discussed the matter of quelling the rebellion, but Chao Cuo advocated that Emperor Jing's imperial conquest and let him stay in Chang'an, this is the real reason why Emperor Jing was determined to kill Chao Cuo !
What about Zhou Yafu?When the imperial court reached the pinnacle of its political career, it was hard for him not to die when he actually got involved in the royal strife where the prince seized power.

As for those dead princes and kings of the Liu family, how could the rebels not be killed?

If Emperor Han Jing had been kind, perhaps the Great Han Dynasty would have evolved into the "Eight Kings' Rebellion" that followed the Sima family's Jin Dynasty, and eventually it would have turned into the scene of the "Five Husbands" in the Central Plains.

It can even be said that any modern person, in his position, will definitely be more ruthless than him.
