Now we Chinese speak Chinese and write Chinese characters because of this great dynasty in ancient Chinese history, the Han Dynasty! The Qin and Han dynasties were not only the beginning of China's feudal dynasties, but also the peak period of the first social development.
The Qin Emperor Han Wu also became two great kings in ancient Chinese history, and he was a model for future generations and admired by thousands of people. But under this aura, it is not all praise. Du Fu once criticized Emperor Wu of Han for his poor military efforts with the verse "The side court bleeds into seawater, and Emperor Wu opens the border without hesitation.". Some people even criticized them for their great achievements, appointing cool officials and sound dogs and horses.
After opening the history books, it is not difficult to find out how similar the political measures of Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han were: Qin Shi Huang abolished the division of feudal seals, pushed counties, Andi County, Emperor Wu of Han issued Tui En, and grouped the dynasty; Qin Shi Huang he currency, advocating the Fa, Emperor Wu of Han cast five baht, honor confucianism; Qin Shi Huang Ping Baiyue, attacked the Xiongnu, Han Wudi descended to the Western Regions, and Goryeo. Interestingly, Qin died in the fourteenth year, and the Han Dynasty lasted more than four hundred years, through 29 emperors.
The Zizhi Tongjian says: Han Wu had the loss of qin and avoided the disaster of qin. The reasons for this are so complex that today's cobblers only analyze one point, the problem of successors. When it comes to the emperors of the Han Dynasty, everyone is most impressed by the four, Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gaozu, Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, the Emperor of Han Guangwu, and Liu Xie, the Emperor of Han Xian, but there is one emperor in the Han Dynasty whose merits are no less than that of Emperor Wu of Han, that is, Emperor Xuan of Han.
He was imprisoned when he was born, if it were not for the prison guards sacrificing their lives to protect him, he would have feared for his life, but unexpectedly 30 years later, he expanded China's territory by more than 2 million, and his experience is legendary!
This matter has to start from the late years of Emperor Wu of Han, accompanied by the king like a companion of the tiger, the emperor's temper is difficult for ordinary people to figure out, the lonely family is not plain, the late Han Wu emperor did a lot of stupid things, of which the most painful and regrettable is the "curse of the witch".
In the harem of the Western Han Dynasty, the art of witchcraft was prevalent, and one day Emperor Wudi of Han dreamed that thousands of wooden men with sticks wanted to attack him, and when he woke up, he quickly sent his favorite minister Jiang Chong to investigate the matter. Jiang Chong had a bad relationship with the crown prince, and was worried that he would be unlucky after the death of Emperor Wu of Han, so he obstructed it and framed the prince.
But Jiang Chong was not Li Si, the prince was not Fu Su, and Jiang Chong, who was clever in his own way, was directly killed by the prince for provoking the relationship between father and son. However, due to the poor information at that time, the prince was worried about changes in the palace, and Emperor Wu of Han spread the word "prince rebellion" and said that "the arrest and beheading of the rebels has its own rewards and punishments", and as a result, the cornered prince was forced to commit suicide.
Although Emperor Wu of Han later understood this, he issued a decree to build a "si womb", but before and after, the good and bad, all the forces, were almost exterminated. The crown prince's grandson, Liu Yiji, the great-grandson of Emperor Wu of Han, had just been born at the time and was also imprisoned.
Bingji, who was in charge of the prison, knew that the prince's family was innocent, not to mention this infant in his infancy, so he specially arranged a spacious and bright cell for this baby and let several female prisoners feed him, and finally saved his life.
Four years later, some people said that there was a heavenly son in Chang'an Prison, and the elderly and dim-witted Emperor Wudi of Han actually wanted to kill all the people in the prison, regardless of severity, and sent people to execute them overnight. At the moment of the first attack, Bingji stepped forward again, not allowing the messenger to come in, and scolded, "What do you want to do!" No innocent person can be killed so casually, and the emperor's great-grandson is still here! In this way, the two sides confronted each other until dawn, knowing that Bingji was resisting the will by doing so.
"This is really providence", afterwards Emperor Wudi of Han finally thought that he still had his great-grandson in the cell, so he pardoned the world. As a result, this four-year-old child who came out of the cell later really became the emperor, that is, the Han Xuan Emperor.
Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dealt a heavy blow to the Xiongnu, he lost his troops in the battle against the Xiongnu in his later years, and failed to completely solve the Xiongnu problem, until the Han Xuan Emperor once again broke the Xiongnu again, and after the Xiongnu Hu Han evil Dan led the people to the court to claim the title of vassal, he established the Western Regions Capital Protectorate, officially incorporating no less than 2 million square kilometers of territory in the Western Regions into the territory of the Western Han Dynasty!
At this time, the comprehensive national strength of the Western Han Dynasty reached its peak, and the history records that "to the world of filial piety, the power of Emperor Wu's struggle, the fortune of the Xiongnu for a hundred years, because of its bad chaos and several deaths, the power of the time is appropriate, and the will of the will ... The border city is closed, the cow Mabuye, the third king without dog barking, the battle of Li Shu's death. ”
Emperor Xuan of Han also cared for the people very much, and worried about the people's avoidance in their daily lives, so he changed his name from the common word "sick" to the strange word "inquiry".
The greatest meritorious servant Bingji did not mention anything about the protection of him after Emperor Xuan of Han succeeded to the throne, and Emperor Xuan of Han only later learned by chance, greatly moved, Bingji was promoted to the position of chancellor, ranked as one of the eleven heroes of the Qilin Pavilion, and his descendants were blessed.
