Chapter 254 The Han Dynasty has the most wise kings!
Ying Zheng said to Meng Tian again: "You can ask your brother about certain things about future generations when you go back."
Now you can finally know the secrets that your brother kept secret from him. that should Knowing how the two brothers died, Meng Tian said: "Thank you for your kindness!"
Li Nian was not surprised that Ying Zheng chose to let Meng Tian know that he came from later generations. The First Emperor had asked him beforehand opinions.
Meng Tian, who joined this small group for the first time, felt it was very novel. He was already thinking about what Li Nian would talk about in the future. He just joined now, so he must have missed a lot of information. He couldn't understand it. ?
At this time, Li Nian also asked: "What does your Majesty want to hear today?"
Ying Zheng said: "Tell me about the Han Dynasty!"
Han Dynasty?
After hearing the questions and answers between Ying Zheng and Li Nian, Meng Tian repeated these two words in his mind. It was a dynasty that he had never heard of. Then this dynasty should be after the Great Qin, and perhaps it replaced the Great Qin. dynasty.
Is this dynasty founded by Xiang Chongtongzi? Why was he named "Han"? Could it be that he wanted to distinguish himself from the country he was born in?
Li Niandao: "The 'Han' that later generations mainly recognized was the Western Han and Eastern Han. Some people want to include the Shu Han among them, thinking that the Shu Han is the continuation of the Han Dynasty."
"In some respects, this idea is not wrong. After all, they were all built by the descendants of Peigong, but they usually don’t If you think so, everyone agrees that the Shu Han Dynasty belongs to the Three Kingdoms rather than the Han Dynasty. "
"As for the Han Dynasty being divided into the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was mainly because someone had usurped the throne in the Western Han Dynasty, and the continuity of the country was interrupted for more than ten years. , and after Guangwu succeeded the Han Dynasty, he established his capital in Luoyang, not the Western The capital of the Han Dynasty is Chang'an, with Luoyang in the east and Chang'an in the west. "
"In fact, when later generations mention the Han Dynasty, they often refer to the 'Western Han Dynasty', because the Western Han Dynasty was the first country in Chinese history to be ruled by the Han people. The most prosperous dynasty, which made people of later generations feel "Pride and glory."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng felt a little unhappy, but he couldn't argue with anything. He died in the second generation, and he seemed to have no shame to say anything, but now his Da Qin will definitely win. How could the Han Dynasty be compared to the dynasty established by Liu Jina?
"When the Han Dynasty was strong and powerful, Han envoys arrived in all directions. If there was any disrespect or disobedience, the Han Dynasty would definitely punish him. Therefore, there is a saying that 'anyone who openly offends the powerful Han will be punished no matter how far away'. This sentence was slightly modified in later generations. Modify it and call it 'Those who violate the power of the Han Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away'! ”
What a domineering sentence, but it sounds really cool. You can imagine that when the people of the Han Dynasty knew that their country was so powerful, How proud and glorious it would be.
“At that time, the Han Dynasty spanned the Yinshan Mountains in the north, reached Rinan in the south, connected with Dayuan in the west, and Lelang in the east. They were all the land of the Han family. All the surrounding countries surrendered and admired the power of the Han family! ”
“The Western Han Dynasty is also known as The dynasty with the most Mingjun, some people think that the seven consecutive emperors of the Western Han Dynasty were all Mingjun. "
Hearing what Li Nian said, Ying Zheng was quite surprised. He knew that the Han Dynasty was very good and was better than his Qin Dynasty, but he didn't. The thought was so violent.
Even if the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty are included in the Qin Dynasty, they have not been able to be Mingjun for seven consecutive generations. If we do not include the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty, let’s compare...
There is no comparison at all. The great Han Dynasty produced seven wise kings in a row, but with the death of his Great Qin II, two generations of kings were wiped out. Meng Tian and Meng Yi were also shocked when they heard this. The Han Dynasty after the Qin Dynasty was really powerful. It seemed to be even better than the previous kings of the Qin Dynasty when they were striving to become stronger.
“The first wise king was Pei Gong, the founder of the Han Dynasty, who is also known to your majesty. Without Pei Gong, there would be no Han Dynasty. It was his establishment of the Han Dynasty that led to the follow-up.”
"Second place Mingjun is Liu Ying, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty. He is the son of Pei Gong and Empress Lu. He succeeded to the throne at the age of sixteen. He has a tolerant personality, can treat virtuous subordinates, and put good officials in high positions. He knows that the Han Dynasty has just been established and the world needs to rest and recuperate after the war. "
"According to Liu Ying's original behavior and style of work, she might have achieved greater things. However, because of her mother, Empress Lu, her temperament changed drastically. She often drank and had sex, ignored political affairs, and entrusted the government to her mother, Empress Lu. ”
Liu Ying meets Lu The ultimate tiger mother was forced to act like a fool. He wanted to protect his younger brother, but he couldn't. He couldn't decide which woman he wanted to make his queen (he was forced by Empress Lu to marry his niece). He couldn't do anything he wanted to do. If it doesn't work, then what's the point of what the emperor did?
It is better to let the mother preside over the affairs of the court and indulge herself. Liu Ying can be said to have been ruined by Empress Lu.
After hearing Li Nian’s words, Meng Tian frantically brainstormed in his mind. The Han emperor’s surname was Liu, and he might also be the Liu family, but this also overturned his previous conjecture that the Han Dynasty was the Xiang family. The pupil is established.
Because the Xiang family has the surname of Xiang Ji, if the Han Dynasty was founded by the Xiang family with double pupils, then the emperor of the Han Dynasty would either be named Xiang Moumou or Ji Moumou, but not Liu Moumou.
Now that he knew that the emperor of the Han Dynasty was named Liu Moumou, and that the emperor of the Han Dynasty was also called Peigong, Meng Tian quickly thought of one person, that is, Liu Ji, who had a good reputation in the Qin court in the past few months.
Liu Ji's surname happens to have "Liu" in it, and he comes from Peixian County, which meets each of the above conditions. As for Empress Lu, Meng Tian also thought of a person who was personally granted marriage by His Majesty. The Lu pheasant who gave the young master Gao as his first wife.
No wonder His Majesty invited Liu Ji to Xianyang to watch his proclaimed emperor ceremony. It turned out that he wanted to show off in front of the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty. No wonder His Majesty wanted to marry Lu Pheasant to Young Master Gao...
That’s not right, why did Lu Fei marry Gongzi Gao? His Majesty should have left it to himself, or given it to Gongzi Fusu. This was the wife of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, and it was most likely after the founding of the Han Dynasty.
Unless this Lu Pheasant has other problems, think about it, it is very possible. What Mr. Li Nian said is that Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty Liu Ying changed his temperament because of his mother, Empress Lu, so he drank and had sex. , ignore political affairs.
Meng Tian also met Lu Pheasant. He was quite beautiful and looked dignified and virtuous. He didn't look like a ruthless person who could force his son to change his temperament. But people's temperaments can change. Maybe something happened later that caused Lu Pheasant to change. .
Meng Tian discovered something else. Liu Ji seemed to be much older than Lu Pheasant. How could these two people get together and become husband and wife?
After thinking about it, some things that seemed confusing at first can be explained. His Majesty would inexplicably invite so many people to Xianyang to watch the ceremony. In fact, the people he invited were all civil and military officials who founded the Han Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Meng Tian also had the same idea as Li Nian. Their majesty is a bit vain, but if it were them, they would definitely do the same.
But this also illustrates another thing from the side. When the Han Dynasty replaced the Qin Dynasty, it did not do too much to the Qin Dynasty. Otherwise, Your Majesty should not have invited Liu Ji to Xianyang, but asked someone to Bring Liu Ji's head to Xianyang, just like those of the Xiang clan.
Meng Tian felt that this should be the case. According to what he saw and heard, Liu Ji was indeed a free-spirited, open-minded and generous person. It was indeed possible for him to let the Qin clan go as he was the queen of the Qin Dynasty.
