Chapter 274 Hanwen Emperor VS Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu

Chapter 274 Hanwen Emperor VS Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu
I am afraid that since then, he has not dared to slack off his martial arts. Emperor Han Jing in the film and television drama is very weak, obviously nonsense!

This is a master who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger.

Western Han VS Eastern Han.

In the second game, the archery skills in "Six Arts of Gentlemen" were tested, and Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty faced Emperor Zhang of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

But what everyone didn't expect was that it would end in a one-sided crushing victory.

Emperor Han Jing won.

One arrow pierced through the heart "punctuation" of the wood [-] meters away, another arrow pierced the "punctuation" between the eyebrows of the wooden man, and the last arrow was even more powerful, whizzing out, carrying extremely terrifying power.

Holding——

The wooden man fell apart in an instant, and with a burst of smoke, the wooden fragments splashed all over the ground, shocking everyone.

"Father, how did you do it?" Emperor Wu of Han was shocked.

He obviously didn't even know that his father had such a skill of flying and shooting.

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was very calm and said, "In less than three years after I succeeded to the throne, the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion broke out. How can I deter those ambitious princes and kings, so since then, I have made up my mind to strengthen my body, sharpen my equestrian skills, archery skills, etc., in order to prepare for the day, even if it is my own. When the army confronts each other, the power of the emperor explodes, thereby deterring the three armies..."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked again, "Father, where did you learn from? Why have you never heard of it?"

Emperor Han Jing replied, "It was taught by Zhou Yafu."

Zhou Yafu, who suppressed the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, is a commander whose military strategy is said to be no weaker than Han Xin.

Instructed by this kind of actual combat general, it is no wonder that Emperor Han Jing has such superb archery skills.

"Liu Qi."

"You did a good job."

"Next, it's up to the emperor to turn the world around again!" The handsome Han Wendi walked out.

On the side of the Eastern Han camp, the loser, Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, did not have any anger, and bowed humbly, "Emperor Jing is even better, Liu Da is convinced to lose this time!"

Emperor Han Jing was not complacent either, and said, "Liu Da, you shot three arrows and hit two yuan, which is also very good."

Liu Da lowered his head, "Thank you Emperor Jing for exaggerating!"

Then the emperor who created the "Ming Zhangzhi" in the Eastern Han Dynasty retreated silently.

Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, did not blame his grandson for his failure, but comforted him softly.

in the gazebo.

The two referees were still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, Liu Bang asked, "Mr. Lin, what is the competition for the next third game?"

Lin Feng said, "Emperor Gaozu, this junior thinks that we can compete in the "music" of the six arts!"

[Music]: It is six music.

Six Music: Refers to the six music and dance sets of "Cloud Gate Dajuan", "Xianchi", "Dashao", "Daxia", "Dalu" and "Dawu".

The earliest ceremonial music and dance in ancient times, "Cloud Gate Scroll".

There was "Xianchi" in Yao Dynasty.

During Shun's time, there was "Da Shao". Confucius claimed that he had heard Shao music and praised it greatly, saying that its music and dance were perfect.

Yushi had "Great Xia".

In the Shang Dynasty, there was "Da Lu".

There is "Da Wu" in Zhou Shi.

These are all famous ceremonial music and dances in ancient times.

The complete six sets of music and dance were preserved in the Zhou Dynasty, and became six musics, which were used in major sacrificial activities: "Yunmen Dajuan" was used to worship the gods; "Xianchi" was used to worship the gods; "Dashao" was used to worship the surrounding "Da Xia" sacrifices mountains and rivers;

But unfortunately, after more than 3000 years of historical changes, the six musics were handed down to the Han Dynasty, and there are only two musics, "Da Shao" and "Da Wu".

But the other four "music" have been lost and hard to find.

After listening to Lin Feng's explanation, the audience who watched the show were dumbfounded, or they couldn't accept it!
"Host, what does he mean? Let the emperor dance lightly?"

"seems like it."

"This scene is not very good, is it? The emperor is not a dancer, how can he dance in it?"

"It is indeed a bit insulting to the ancients."

"However, if you can enjoy the long-lost six songs and dances, in fact, it's not too bad!"

"Emperor Hanwen and Emperor Guangwu want to fight and dance? This is too weird."

"Host, if you dare to do this, I will never forgive you. Emperor Han Wen is the perfect emperor in my heart."

……

Not only did the audience have different opinions, even Liu Bang couldn't understand it.

Because Emperor Hanwen said just now that he will play in the third game, which means that soon his son Liu Bang will dance in it?

Liu Bang said, "Mr. Lin, can't the third game be changed to "Le" in the Six Arts?"

Ritual: etiquette.The five rites are: auspicious rites, fierce rites, military rites, guest rites, and honorary rites.

This is indeed the best for Emperor Hanwen, who has been conferred as a perfect emperor like jade all his life.

But that would be boring.

Lin Feng smiled slightly, and said with a somewhat sly expression, "Emperor Gao Zu, what this junior means is that the "music" and "ritual" in the Six Arts should be carried out at the same time."

Liu Bang, "..."

One is the etiquette posture, the other is the music and dance posture, how to mix them together?
Lin Feng said again, "Three dancers will dance "Cloud Gate Scroll". The emperor stands in front of him, carrying Shang and Zhou etiquette, and then recites and sings his own lyrics. In the end, whoever can do the best will be the No. .1."

Liu Bang, "Han Yuefu Song Ci?"

Lin Feng said, "Exactly, but Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Guangwu cannot recite the existing lyrics of the Han Yuefu, but they have to compose them on the spot, which must conform to the artistic conception of the scene, and must also fit the dancers' singing and dancing."

Liu Bang frowned, "It's extremely difficult!"

Lin Feng said, "Emperor Wen and Emperor Guangwu are the dragons among the two, this level of difficulty can be described as a piece of cake!"

Liu Bang had never heard the phrase "a piece of cake", but he, a smart and troubled hero, naturally knew what Lin Feng meant.

"All right!"

"I will go out and read the rules."

"Mr. Lin, get ready for the dancer." Liu Bang walked out of the pavilion and went out to explain the rules to many emperors.

Modern dancing girls are definitely not suitable for ancient lyrics.

What about the dancers of the Han Dynasty?I'm afraid I can't jump out of the ancient meaning of the harmony between man and nature.

"Borrow the three dancers from the royal family of Zhou!" Lin Feng thought of this, and with a thought, he activated the time-traveling function, and wanted to take away the three singers from the Haojing Hall in the time of King Wu of Zhou.

Soon.

More than 30 emperors of the Han Dynasty looked up and saw three dancing girls dressed in Zhou Dynasty looking down, slowly falling down this royal hunting ground.

Because Lin Feng made it clear in advance, the three dancers settled on the lawn without saying a word, just waiting for orders.

Emperor Wen of Han VS Emperor Liu Xiu of Guangwu is about to start.

At this time, someone walked into the gazebo, and it was Uncle Liu Huang who had an uneasy face, "Mr. Lin, this competition of six arts is a competition between the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is divided by later generations, but what about the Shu Han that was said to be established?"

Lin Feng asked, "Uncle Liu Huang, which camp do you want to join?"

Liu Bei shook his head, "Bei and Adou are just two people, and they are the last emperor of the Han Dynasty. You are all the ancestors of the old Liu family, and you dare not surpass them."

Lin Feng thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, Uncle Liu Huang, you should also be the referee!"

what--

Liu Bei was shocked, and hurriedly opened his mouth to delay.

In his heart, this is simply a joke!Because another referee is Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang.

How could he, Liu Bei, sit side by side with Emperor Gaozu?

He doesn't have that qualification either!
Lin Feng said, "Emperor Gaozu is the first emperor of the Han Dynasty, and you, Uncle Liu, are the last emperor of the Han Dynasty. It is fair and just in this way!"

Liu Bei, "..."

Uncle Liu Huang had 1 whys in his mind?
How could he be the last emperor of the Han Dynasty?
Isn't his family, Adou Liu Chan, human?
Liu Chan has been the emperor for 40 years, so his sense of existence is so low?
I'm sorry, Lin Feng directly ignored this Emperor Adou who was said to be "unable to support the wall with mud".

Whether Liu Chan is an incompetent monarch or not will be very controversial in later generations!
As time went by, more and more people believed that Liu Chan was a wise king who was as wise as a fool.

After Liu Bei's death, Tuogu in Baidicheng began to talk about that before Liu Bei's death, he asked Zhuge Liang to assist Liu Chan, and Liu Chan was also very obedient and recognized Zhuge Liang as his father.The relationship between the two has changed from a monarch and a minister to a "father and son" at the beginning. Although Zhuge Liang still meets each other with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, Zhuge Liang still obeys Zhuge Liang in everything such as military and state affairs.

In fact, Liu Chan really obeyed Zhuge Liang in everything.Before Zhuge Liang died, whether it was an important matter in the army or a matter as small as a sesame seed, it was up to Zhuge Liang to decide.Some people think that it can be seen from this that Liu Chan is an incompetent emperor, because Liu Chan let Zhuge Liang take power and regarded himself as a decoration.But is Liu Chan really an incompetent emperor?In fact, the opposite is true.

Why do you say that?For one thing, Liu Bei had said and even had his last words before his death, asking Liu Chan to obey Zhuge Liang in everything.At that time, the social atmosphere always put the word filial piety first. If Liu Chan did not obey his father's last words, it would be unfilial.

Secondly, how could Liu Chan not know the value of power.Although he is already a monarch, the military power is in the hands of Zhuge Liang, which makes Liu Chan, who is the emperor, very uncomfortable.If things go on like this, Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang have many conflicts with each other.What's more, Liu Bei's last words before his death were to ask Zhuge Liang to assist Liu Chan in governing the country.But instead of Zhuge Liang, he was obsessed with the Northern Expedition, and his purpose was obvious.It can be seen from the Northern Expedition that Zhuge Liang will not give up power, and Zhuge Liang has the final say on everything.And Liu Chan is like a puppet emperor, how could Liu Chan not see this?

The relationship between Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang was not very harmonious. Before the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang's "Teacher List" was not right no matter how you looked at it.The tone in that article seemed like a stern father scolding his ignorant son. After reading it, Liu Chan couldn't help but feel pimples in his heart.

But Liu Chan didn't say anything, but instead supported Zhuge Liang to go to the Northern Expedition.Liu Chan's approach is easy to understand. All the power is in Zhuge Liang's hands, and he has no right to say no at all.

However, Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition did not go smoothly, and he even retreated steadily.And Liu Chan lived a sad life under such circumstances.

Seeing that the Northern Expedition was not going well, Liu Chan was very worried. On the one hand, the national power of Shu was consumed too much.On the other hand, he was even more worried about Zhuge Liang, so he sent an envoy to greet Zhuge Liang.

The envoy asked: "Your Majesty asks what will happen to your heirs after the prime minister's death?"

Zhuge Liang, who was in the Northern Expedition at that time, was very frightened when he heard this sentence, and broke out in a cold sweat.He is a smart person, so he understood the tentative meaning in Liu Chan's words, so he replied: "The minister's family has eight hundred mulberry plants in Chengdu, and the children have more than enough food and clothing!"

It means that "there are about 800 mulberry trees in my home, and the children's basic necessities of life are naturally enough."Zhuge Liang's meaning is very clear, his children will not have any dissent towards the Shu Han, so Liu Chan can rest assured.

For Zhuge Liang, Liu Chan has always been worried, because Zhuge Liang's skills are so high.Secondly, it is not only Liu Chan who is worried, but it is impossible for any emperor in history to completely trust the courtiers of the Lord of the Earthquake.

Those views came out.

It is not true that Liu Chan has no political ambitions. On the contrary, he is very smart. In such a chaotic period, he will still consider this issue. How can he be said to be an incompetent emperor?
Furthermore, Liu Chan still served as emperor for more than 30 years after Zhuge Liang's death.Although he became the king of subjugation in the end, this does not mean that he is an incompetent emperor.

What's more, after Liu Chan was captured and fell into the hands of the people of Wei, his performance of not wanting to go to Shu was not an expression of forbearance?It is Liu Chan's ability to escape from this and save his life.

Is the truth really like this?
Lin Feng questioned:

"A generation of emperors, why can't they control the central power of the court? Let Zhuge Liang control the court? Whose fault is it?"

"As the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, who is to blame for living like a puppet?"

"Knowing that Zhuge Liang is not a great military talent, and he is not as invincible as the soldier Han Xin, but he has made the Northern Expedition every year, causing the land of Shu Han, which is rich and oily, to struggle and the people to be poor. Whose fault is it?"

"Deng Ai's 3000 soldiers and horses approached the city, so they opened the city and surrendered? Whose fault is it?"

……

To know.

The beginning of Han Wudi was much more difficult than that of Liu Chan, and he was also a puppet emperor in the early stage.

However, he had a strong strategy, firmly controlled the power of the court, and knew how to use it well. He selected the strongest descendants such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, swept the northwest, and deterred Kyushu.

Liu Chan is really capable, so she's not the one who can't afford to support her.

It would be Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in his place.

Zhuge Liang is afraid that he wants to become a civil servant who governs internal affairs honestly, and the ending of the Shu Han must be very different.

So in Lin Feng's heart, this Emperor Liu Chan really hated Adou.
