1. In spring, on February 9th, the Eastern Han Dynasty (capital Luoyang) National Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief (Taiwei) Zhao Xi and Prime Minister (Situ) Li Mo were dismissed at the same time. On February 11, Guo Dan, governor of Zuofengyi County (Gaoling County, Shaanxi Province), was promoted to prime minister. On February 14, Yu Yan, governor of Nanyang County (Nanyang City, Henan Province), was promoted to be the commander-in-chief of the national armed forces. 2. On February 19th, Emperor Liu Zhuang (33 years old) of the Eastern Han Dynasty (the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty) promoted Ms. Ma, a nobleman (the first rank in the group of wives), to be the queen, and made his son Liu Da (sound da) the crown prince. .Empress Ma, the daughter of General Fubo Ma Yuan.The first emperor (Emperor Guangwu) Liu Xiushi was elected into the womb of the crown prince Liu Zhuang.Empress Ma flattered her mother-in-law, Empress Yin Lihua, very fondly. She got along well with her peers, was courteous, and was in harmony with each other, so she was favored exceptionally.After Liu Zhuang ascended the throne, he was granted the title of "noble man" (compiled by the court concubine group of the Eastern Han Dynasty, only "noble man" level).At that time, Ms. Jia, the daughter of Ma Guiren's half-sister, was also selected into the uterus and gave birth to her son Liu Da.

Because Empress Ma had no son, Liu Zhuang taught her to adopt Liu Da, and told her: "People don't have to give birth to sons by themselves, I'm afraid they can't raise them in the right way, and they don't have enough love." Mother-in-law treats parents and children.Liu Da is filial in nature, and mother and son love and depend on each other without any gap.Because Liu Zhuang had not many princes, Ma Guiren often recommended beauties from left and right to accompany Liu Zhuang to bed, feeling impatient to have a child.Harem maids, anyone who has slept with Liu Zhuang will be treated differently.If any court lady is continuously called by Liu Zhuang, Mrs. Ma will give her a special reward.

Therefore, when the relevant units suggested that a queen should be elected, before Liu Zhuang opened his mouth, the Empress Dowager Yin Lihua said: "Ma Gui is the most moral character and the court's number one. She is the most suitable candidate." Since Empress Ma ascended the throne, she became more modest and dignified. She loved to read and often wore loose white silk clothes with no skirts.On the 1st and 15th of each month, the wives and princesses entered the palace to pay their respects. When they saw her simple and rough clothes, they thought they were specially woven silks and satins. When they came to observe her carefully, they couldn't help laughing.Empress Ma explained: "This kind of silk is most suitable for dyeing other colors, so it is used."

When civil and military officials were in court, there were matters that could not be decided, and Liu Zhuang used it to test Empress Ma's intelligence.Empress Ma's discussion and analysis are all reasonable, but she never said a word for her natal family, please ask one thing.Liu Zhuang loves and respects her even more, as always. 3. Liu Zhuang missed the heroes who created the great cause of ZTE (the great cause of the Eastern Han Dynasty). On the Yuntai of Nangong, he painted portraits of 28 generals. Deng Yu ranked first, followed by: Ma Cheng, Wu Han, Wang Liang , Jia Fu, Chen Jun, Geng Yan, Du Mao, Kou Xun, Fu Jun, Cen Peng, Jian Tan, Feng Yi, Wang Ba, Zhu Hu, Ren Guang, Ji Zun, Li Zhong, Jing Dan, Wan Xiu, Gai Yan, Pixun, Yaoqi, Liu Zhi, Geng Chun, Zang Gong, Ma Wu, Liu Long.Later, Wang Chang, Li Tong, Dou Rong, and Zhuo Mao were added, making a total of thirty-two people.Only Ma Yuan is the queen's father, and there is no portrait.

4. In summer, on April 17th, Liu Zhuang enshrined the princes Liu Jian as Qiancheng King (capital Qiancheng) and Liu Xian as Guangping King (capital Guangping). 5. On June 24th, the star Bei appeared in the north of Tianchuan Xing. 6. Liu Zhuang made a lot of construction work to build the North Palace.At that time, there was a severe drought.Zhong Liyi, the executive officer of the Palace Secretariat (Shangshu Pushe), a native of Kuaiji County (Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province), went to the palace gate, took off his official hat, and wrote a letter saying: "Once upon a time, Zi Tianyi (the first emperor of the Shang Dynasty) encountered a drought. He pointed out six things to blame himself: "Is it the lack of restraint in exercising power? Is it because the people's labor has exceeded the limit? Is it because there are too many palace buildings? Is it because women and eunuchs interfere in politics? Is it because corruption and bribery are prevalent? Is it because the sharks who framed Zhongliang gained power?" Now , the North Palace is building a large-scale construction project, recruiting peasants, so that the farmers cannot plow the fields. Since ancient times, the serious problem is not the narrowness of the palace, but the unrest of the people. It should be stopped and the heavens should be the heart." Liu Zhuang issued an edict and said: "Zi Tianyi blamed Six things, the fault is only on one person. You can put on the official hat and shoes, and don’t apologize.” Then he ordered the engineering director (Dajiang) to stop work and reduce other unnecessary expenses.He issued an edict to all civil and military officials to admit his mistakes.It rained in time.

Zhong Liyi recommended Liu Ping, the magistrate of Quanjiao (Quanjiao County, Anhui Province), and Liu Zhuang recruited Liu Ping to Luoyang, the capital, and appointed him as a councilor (Yilang).Liu Ping is in Quanjiao, and he is kind to the people. The people voluntarily declare more property in order to pay more taxes; or reduce their age in order to compete for government servants.The governor (inspector) and the county head inspected the county and found that there were no prisoners in the prison. Everyone was enjoying themselves and didn't know what to investigate, so they had to read the imperial edict and go back.

Liu Zhuang likes to listen to small reports, and believes that insight into the private lives of civil and military officials is the world's wisest.Sangong and senior officials at the ministerial level were constantly reprimanded, and Liu Zhuang even beat officials close to him, such as the court secretary (Shangshu).Once, for some unknown reason, Liu Zhuang lost his temper with Yao Song (Yao, surname), the imperial guard (Lang) and beat him with his cane. : "Get out of here." Yao Song shouted from under the bed: "'Emperor Mu Mu, the princes (the kings of the country) are the emperors.' ("Book of Rites · Qu Li" original text) How can there be an emperor, and he will hit him." Liu Zhuang then gave up.

At that time, the Eastern Han government was full of murderous spirit, and the civil and military officials were frightened, and they competed harshly with each other in order to avoid execution or reprimand.Only Zhong Liyi dared to argue with reason, and sealed up and returned the edicts that had been issued several times that he thought were inappropriate.Officials made mistakes, and he always tried his best to save them.Coincidentally, when the celestial phenomena changed, Zhong Liyi wrote a letter saying: "Your Majesty respects ghosts and gods, and pities the common people, but the celestial phenomena are not in harmony. The phenomenon of whether it should be hot or cold still occurs. The responsibility lies with the civil and military officials. To promote His Majesty's kindness, he did not fulfill his duties, but made it fashionable to be harsh and difficult. There is no blind date between officials and officials, and there is no peaceful atmosphere between officials and people. Therefore, it impacts the righteousness of harmony and attracts natural disasters. For The people can be influenced by kindness to make them submit, but it is difficult to achieve the goal by pressure. The poem "The Book of Songs·Deer Ming" is sung at the banquet to communicate the hearts of humans and gods and to reconcile the celestial phenomena. I hope that your majesty will spread your kindness , relax the penalty, follow the celestial phenomena, and adjust yin and yang."

Although Liu Zhuang couldn't always follow Zhong Liyi's advice, he knew that he was sincere and loved him all the time. 7. In autumn, on August 25th, according to the mysterious prophecy, Liu Zhuang changed the name of "Tai Le Guan" (Music Officer) to "Tai Yu Le Ling" (the mysterious prophecy "Shang Shu Xuan Ji Qian" said: "There is an emperor Out of the Han Dynasty, Deqia made music, named Yu"). 8. On August 29, a solar eclipse. Liu Zhuang issued an edict: "In the past, there were no natural disasters in the Chu Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Mi Lu (the sixth Wang Zhuang Wang of the Chu Kingdom) was frightened: So he said in fear: "Did God forget me?" With this attitude, I ask God to see my own mistakes, and I will definitely not refuse the advice of the people in the lower position); During the reign of Duke Ai, there were many disasters, but there were no changes in the sky ("Chun Qiu Gan Jing Fu" contains: Ji Jiang era, political chaos, but there was no solar eclipse. There should have been a warning, but there was no change. God felt that : What’s the use of condemning him? Condemning him, he won’t wake up). The solar eclipse today means that we still have a cure. Officials of relevant units should try their best to fulfill their duties and help me complete my mission.”

9. In winter, on October 22, Liu Zhuang followed his mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager Yin Lihua, to Zhangling (tomb of three generations of Liu Xiu's father and grandfather in the south of Zaoyang City, Hubei Province).Guo He, the governor (inspector) of Jingzhou (Hubei Province and Hunan Province), had outstanding political achievements. Liu Zhuang rewarded him with the clothes worn by the three princes. "Ji" pattern, and an official hat with seven hanging tassels (旒).He also ordered him to remove the curtain in front of the car, so that the people could see his noble decorations and praise his noble character.

On October 26, the mother and son returned to the capital Luoyang. 10. This year, floods occurred in the capital Luoyang and seven counties and feudal states. 11. King Xian (surname unknown) of Shache Kingdom (Shache County, Xinjiang) in the Western Regions (Xinjiang and Eastern Central Asia) successively conquered Khotan Kingdom (Hotian City, Xinjiang), Dawan Kingdom (capital Guishan City), Guisai Kingdom ( The current location is unknown), and it was garrisoned by General Shache. The people of Khotan revolted, beheaded Jun De, the commander of the occupying army, and supported the noble Huo Moba as king.Xian led tens of thousands of coalition forces from various countries to attack, but was defeated by Huo Moba, the coalition forces collapsed, and Xian escaped alone.Xiu Moba counterattacked and surrounded Shache. Unfortunately, he was shot by a stray arrow and died.The people of Khotan also supported Guangde, the son of Brother Xiumoba, as the successor of King Khotan. Guangde ordered his younger brother Ren to continue attacking Shache.Father Guangde (unknown name) was originally detained in Shache as a hostage. Xian was unable to resist Khotan's offensive, so he had to send father hostage back and marry the princess to Guangde (Original: "Xian Nai belongs to his father, Take it as a female wife.” I don’t know who to marry the princess to? To Guangde? Or to marry Guangde’s father? Just from the grammatical point of view, it is also correct to marry Guangde’s father), and Khotan reconciliation. 1. In spring, Liu Zhuang (the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty) of the Eastern Han Dynasty (the capital Luoyang) visited the capital Luoyang and planned to go hunting in Hanoi County (Wuzhi County, Henan Province).Liu Cang, the king of Dongping (the capital without salt), wrote a letter to persuade Liu Zhuang to return to the palace immediately after seeing it. 2. In autumn, on the twelfth day of the ninth month, Liu Jian (Liu Zhuangzi), the king of Qiancheng (the capital of Qiancheng) passed away without a son, and the feudal kingdom was withdrawn. 3. In winter, on October 19th, Prime Minister (Situ) Guo Dan and Supreme Supervisor (Sikong) Feng Bing were dismissed.The mayor of the capital Luoyang (Henan Yin), Fan Qian from Peiguo (capital and county) was promoted to prime minister, and the Minister of Communications (a servant) Fu Gong was promoted to be the chief inspector.Fu Gong is the son of brother Fu Zhan (Fu Zhan, refer to July 2005). 4. Hou Liangsong of Lingxiang, accused of being dissatisfied with the government and slandering with anonymous letters, was arrested and imprisoned, and died in prison. At the beginning, when Liu Zhuang was still the prince, Zheng Zhong, the son of Zheng Xing, a middle-level state official (Taizhong doctor), was well-known in the world for his proficiency in Confucian classics.Liu Zhuang and Shanyang King (capital Changyi) Liu Jing both entrusted Liang Song with silk as gifts and invited Zheng Zhong to be their guests.Zheng Zhong said: "The crown prince is the reserve king of the country. He is not allowed to make friends with his subjects privately. The government has always strictly prohibited it. And the prince is not allowed to invite guests." Liang Song said: "The meaning of the distinguished officials should not be offended. ” Zheng Zhong said: “Rather than committing crimes and dying, it is better to stick to righteousness and die.” He refused.When the Liang Song incident happened, many disciples were implicated, but none of the confessions involved Zheng Zhong. Bo Yang said: Liang Song was the murderer who murdered Ma Yuan (refer to 1949), but Ma Yuan was an old friend of Liang Song's father, Liang Tong, and had no ill will towards Liang Song at all.Liang Songzhi's insidious and unscrupulous mentality of framing his opponents is deeply rooted.History books have not reported the details of the incident.All I know is that when Liang Song was the Minister of Communications (Private Servant) in 1958, he kept asking the local county and county governments for entrustments to satisfy his personal desires, but he was dismissed in 1959, so he blamed everyone and everyone, and anonymous letters spread everywhere.The content of the anonymous book is not recorded, but it can be inferred from the precedent of murdering Ma Yuan that it must be quite vicious.Liang Song believes that the result of framing his opponent this time may be the same as framing Ma Yuan, and history repeats itself.Unexpectedly, he made a wrong judgment and fell into it himself. The means of framing, like a roundabout, often still returns to the original launch base. 5. King Guangde of Khotan led a coalition force of 30,000 people from various countries to launch a general counterattack in the form of liquidation against the Shache Kingdom that had invaded all countries in recent years.Lured Shache Wangxian (surname unknown) to his camp, executed him, and annexed Shache. The Xiongnu Khanate (should be the Northern Xiongnu Khanate; the Royal Court established Harhelin City in Mongolia) as the suzerain state, assembled the armed forces of the Western Regions and surrounded Khotan.Guangde could not resist and asked to surrender.Bujuzheng, the son of the Xiongnu Lixian sent to the Xiongnu as a hostage, became the king of Shache.However, when the Xiongnu army retreated, Guangde beheaded Bujuzheng again, and made Bujuzheng's younger brother Qi Li the king of Shache. 6. Liu Cang, King of Dongping (the capital has no salt), presided over the government because he was a direct brother born to the same mother as Emperor Liu Zhuang (in 1957, Liu Cang was appointed as a general of hussars, under the emperor alone, civil and military Hundreds of officials), with increasing prestige and fear in his heart, he kept writing letters, pointing out: "Since the Western Han Dynasty, no one from the royal family has ever held a high position at the Sangong or ministerial level, requesting to resign from the position of Hussar General and return to his fief country (Dongping country)." The speech was very sincere, so Liu Zhuang ordered Liu Cang to return to the country, but he was not allowed to resign. 1. In spring, on February 16th, Liu Cang, king of Dongping (capital Wuyan) of the Eastern Han Dynasty (capital Luoyang), returned to his feudal kingdom. Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty (second emperor of Ming Dynasty) Liu Zhuang (35 years old this year) appointed the Secretary-General of Hushi General's Mansion (Hussar Chief History) to be the prince master (Taifu) of Dongping Kingdom, and the secretary (掾) to be the senior official of Dongping Kingdom State officials (Zhong Da Fu) and other low-level officials (Ling Shi) served as imperial guards (Lang).A special reward of 50 million yuan and 100,000 pieces of cloth. 2. In winter, in October, Liu Zhuang went to Ye County (the county where Wei County Government is located · Southwest Ye Town, Linzhang County, Hebei Province).This month, return to the capital Luoyang. 3. In November, the Northern Xiongnu Khanate (Khalhelin City, Mongolia) attacked Wuyuan County (Baotou City, Inner Mongolia). In December, they attacked Yunzhong (Toketuo County, Inner Mongolia); the corpses of children in the Southern Huns Khanate (the royal court set up Meiji) expelled the marquis Shanyu (twenty-sixth) and repelled the Northern Huns. 4. This year, all frontier residents who emigrated to the interior were investigated and forced to return to the frontier, and each was rewarded with 20,000 yuan for medical treatment and clothing. 5. Dou Rong, the Marquis of Anfeng (Dai Hou), is old and unable to restrain his family. His descendants grew up in a wealthy environment, proud and indulgent, and committed many crimes.The eldest son, Dou Mu, who married Princess Neihuang, even fabricated the imperial edict of Empress Dowager Yin Lihua, ordering Liu Xu, Marquis of Liu'an, to divorce and marry his daughter to Liu Xu.Liu Xu's wife's natal family sued Emperor Liu Zhuang.Liu Zhuang was furious and dismissed all officials in the Dou family.Staff, big and small, together with their family members, were expelled back to their hometown (Pingling), and only Dou Rong was allowed to stay in Luoyang, the capital. Dou Rong died soon (at the age of seventy-eight).A few years later, Dou Mu was accused of committing a crime again, and died in prison along with his sons Dou Xun and Dou Xuan (Liu Zhuang believed that Dou Mu could not love himself, but his property was rich and his house occupied too much land, so he sent A royal concierge managed the housekeeping on his behalf. Several years later, the royal concierge reported that Dou Mu and his son had complained angrily since they lost power. Liu Zhuang then ordered Dou Mu to return to his county with his family. And his son Dou Xun stayed in the capital Luoyang because he was the husband of Princess Biyang. Soon, Dou Mu was accused of bribing low-level officials. The Youfufeng County Government arrested Dou Mu and imprisoned him in Pingling County Prison. in Pingling Prison in his hometown. Dou Xun was arrested in Luoyang, the capital, and died in Luoyang Zhao Prison).After a long time, Liu Zhuang ordered Dou Rong's wife and grandson to return to live in Luoyang, the capital. 1. In spring and February, a treasure tripod was excavated from Mount Wangluo (the current location is unknown, but it should be in the middle of Anhui Province) in the territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty (the capital Luoyang), and presented to the emperor (the second Ming emperor) Liu Zhuang (36 years old this year). 2. In summer, on April 7th, Liu Zhuang issued an edict: "Auspiciousness comes, which is a response to the development of noble morality. Nowadays, there are still many perverse politics, how can there be auspiciousness?" Said: "Ding, like Sangong (Ding has three feet, and the three lords respectively assist the king).' Isn't it a proof that both the three lords and the ministerial officials can fulfill their duties! Here is a reward of fifty bolts of silk and satin for each of the three lords, and twenty-five bolts of silk and satin for each of the ministerial officials. The late emperor (Liu Xiu ) has an edict prohibiting writing to praise the Holy Ming (refer to the 31st year), but the recent memorial has a lot of fluffy wording. From now on, if excessive praise is found again, the Palace Secretariat (Shangshu) should refuse to accept it, saying that I don’t want to Being laughed at behind the back by sycophants." Bo Yang said: Liu Zhuang is just an ordinary king. However, after reading this edict: "I don't want to be ridiculed by flatterers behind my back." The insight into the world is so profound.For some reason, some bosses who thought they were ten thousand times smarter than Liu Zhuang never got tired of it.Because of this, the sound of sneering behind her was also heard endlessly. 3. In winter, in October, Liu Zhuang went to Lu County (Qufu City, Shandong Province, the capital of Donghai State). In December, on the way back from Liuzhuang, he made a detour to Yangcheng (southeast of Dengfeng County, Henan Province). On December 29, return to the capital Luoyang. 4. This year, the corpses of children in the Southern Huns Khanate (the royal court set up Meiji) expelled the marquis Shanyu (twenty-sixth) and passed away.The son of Su Mo (twenty-fourth) succeeded to the throne, and he removed Che Lin Dan Shanyu (twenty-seven) for Qiu.A few months later, he died again.The younger brother of Tongda Shi's younger brother Tongda Chang succeeded to the throne, and he was the 28th in charge of the Huxie Corpse. 1. In spring, on the 20th day of the first lunar month, the Empress Dowager Yin Lihua of the Eastern Han Dynasty (capital Luoyang) passed away. On February 8, he was buried with the posthumous title Guanglie. 2. The Northern Huns Khanate (the royal court is located in Kharhelin City, Mongolia) is still quite powerful and continues to invade the northern frontier.They also sent envoys to Luoyang, asking for a designated place to resume bilateral trade.Emperor Liu Zhuang (37 years old) of the Eastern Han Dynasty (the second Ming emperor) hoped to reduce military conflicts by means of trade, so he agreed to this request. 3. Appoint Zongjun, the Prime Minister of Donghai State (the capital of Lu County), as the Secretary-General of the court (Shangshu Ling). At the beginning, when Zong Jun was the governor of Jiujiang County (Shouxian County, Anhui Province), he only dealt with official business every five days. The local government and the people), the counties to which they belong are all safe and sound, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.Jiujiang County has always been infested with tigers and leopards. The government and people often invite hunting experts to set up fences or traps for catching them.However, tigers and leopards still hurt people.Zongjun ordered the counties: "There are ferocious beasts along the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River, just like chickens, ducks, fish and pigs in a civilized society. Today, tigers and leopards are harmful to the people. The responsibility lies with the brutality of the officials. It is not the right way to love the people by letting the working people work hard to catch them. Only by eradicating corrupt officials and recruiting loyal and good men can we eradicate them. Fences and traps should be removed, and land taxes and taxes should be reduced.” After that, there was no catastrophe of tigers and leopards. Liu Zhuang heard of Zong Jun's reputation, so he appointed him to be in charge of the important position of the Central Committee.Zong Jun said to people: "The emperor has always loved people who are skilled in handling official documents, and he has always loved honest officials, thinking that they have enough ability to prevent evil in the officialdom. The problem is that people who are skilled in handling official documents often use writing skills , deceive the superior and deceive the inferior. As for the honest officials, they are only not corrupt. They are not able to prevent the exile of the people, nor the ability to prevent the rise of bandits. I plan to kowtow to the emperor and fight hard. It is bound to fall into a greater predicament." However, before he put forward this proposal, Liu Zhuang promoted him to be the commander of the general garrison of Gyeonggi (Sili Xiaowei).Later, Liu Zhuang heard this statement and thought it was correct. 1. In spring, on the second day of the first lunar month, Fan Qian, the prime minister (Situ) of the Eastern Han Dynasty (capital Luoyang), passed away. 2. On the day of Xinmao in March (Ding Weishuo in March, there is no Xinmao), Yu Yan, the commander-in-chief of the national armed forces (Taiwei), was appointed as prime minister, and the commander-in-chief of the imperial city security (Weiwei), Zhao Wei, was appointed as the acting general of the national armed forces. Commander (doing Taiwei affairs). 3. Zheng Zhong, the military and political officer of the South Vietnam Corps (Yueqi Sima), was sent to the Northern Huns Khanate (the king's court was located in Harhelin City, Mongolia). The Northern Huns Shanyu forced Zheng Zhong to bow down, but Zheng Zhong refused.Shan Yu ordered people to surround his tent and cut off the supply of water and fire (it is cold in the north, no water can support him, and he will freeze to death without fire), Zheng Zhong drew his saber and declared that he would rather commit suicide than bend his knees.Shan Yu did not want the envoys sent by the Eastern Han Dynasty to die violently in the royal court, so he released them; he sent envoys with Zheng Zhong to the capital Luoyang (Who was Shan Yu from the Northern Huns? Cannot be traced. , the Xiongnu split into two kingdoms. The northern Xiongnu Shanyu moved to the north of the vast desert, and the deeds are unknown. We only know that in 1987, Xianbei attacked the Northern Xiongnu, beheaded and left Shanyu. In 1991, the Eastern Han Dynasty attacked the North The Xiongnu, the northern Xiongnu Shanyu led the crowd to the west, some of them were at the northern foot of the Altai Mountains, and the other part disappeared. In 1992, the Eastern Han Dynasty enshrined Shudan as the Northern Huns Shanyu. , surrendered to the Eastern Han. After that, they occasionally harassed the countries in the Western Regions intermittently and could not be coherent. But the Southern Huns always surrendered to the Eastern Han until the first ten years of the fourth century. . At the beginning, Geng Guo, the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry (Da Si Nong), wrote a letter suggesting: "A 'Northern Frontier Commander' (General Du Liao) should be established and stationed in Wuyuan County (Baotou City, Inner Mongolia) to prevent the Southern Huns (Wang Ting established Meiji) from , fled north.” The central government refused to adopt.Before long, the southern Xiongnu Xubu Gudu Hou and others (the Shanyu of the Huns Khanate had a surname of Suda; non-royal clans with the surnames Xubu, Huyan, Lilin, Lan, etc., intermarried with the royal family for generations, and all of them were royal relatives. State relatives, with strong political power), received news of the envoys between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Northern Huns, terrified and resentful, planned to rebel, sent secret envoys to the Northern Huns, and asked the army to go south to meet them. When Zheng Zhong went out of the fortress, he found that their expressions were different from usual. He thought that there must be some changes, so he sent people to the pass to monitor closely, and he captured Xu Bu's envoys.Then he wrote a letter to reiterate Geng Guo's previous suggestion: a general should be established to be responsible for cutting off the connection between the northern and southern Xiongnu.As a result, the northern frontier defense army camp (Duliao Camp) was established, and the royal guard commander (General Zhonglang) Wu Tang was appointed to act as the commander of the northern frontier defense (Xingdu Liao General Military. Seven or eight years ago, the Western Han Dynasty government appointed Fan Mingyou "General Du Liao" belongs to the miscellaneous generals. After the military operation, it will be abolished. After the restoration this year, it will become a permanent organization. The tasks and organizational structure of the generals are different. Huyaying", entered Manbo in Wuyuan County (60 kilometers southeast of Dalat Banner, Inner Mongolia). 4. In autumn, fourteen counties and states were sealed off, flooded. 5. In winter, in October, the North Palace in Luoyang, the capital, was completed (five years ago, when Liu Zhuang built the North Palace, Zhong Liyi, the executive officer of the Palace Secretariat, wrote a letter to dissuade him, and Liu Zhuang immediately ordered it to stop. But this year, it was suddenly completed, probably because it stopped working soon , after leaving a record of accepting remonstrance, work will start again).
6. On October 4th, the Eastern Han government recruited prisoners sentenced to death to serve as soldiers in the northern frontier camp (Duliao Camp).Any fugitive criminal who goes to serve as a soldier in the camp of the northern border guards can have his original charges or sentences reduced or revoked according to the length of time. 7. Liu Ying (younger brother of Liu Zhuang), King of Chu (Pengcheng), the king of Chu, sent yellow and white fine silk to the prime minister of the feudal country, saying: "As a vassal, I have accumulated too many crimes. In order to thank the great kindness, I donated silk fabrics. Redeem my sin." Prime Minister Feng Guo reported it to the Central Committee.Emperor Liu Zhuang (38 years old this year) of the Eastern Han Dynasty issued an edict to the prime minister of the feudal country: "King Chu (Liu Ying) read the articles of Ji Xuanyuan (Huang) and Li Er (Old), and those who worship Buddhism Be merciful, bathe and change clothes, eat fast and chant Buddha for three months, and make an oath before the gods. What is there to suspect? What is there to suspect? It is worth repenting and remorse? Return the fine silk to him and help him set up more tables when entertaining nearby monks Feast." At first, Liu Zhuang heard that there was a god named "Buddha" in the Western Regions (Xinjiang and eastern Central Asia), so he sent envoys to Tianzhu (India) to look for them, and got Buddhist scriptures and monks (Sramanas) to return to China together.Buddhist scriptures, generally a kind of nihilism, believe that compassion is one of the most noble virtues and oppose killing.It is believed that after death, the soul is immortal, and can be reincarnated and come to the world again.The good or evil deeds done in life will be rewarded.As long as you cultivate your mind and behavior, you can become a "Buddha".He is good at making inscrutable remarks to seduce and persuade ignorant ordinary people.People who are proficient in Buddhist classics are called "monks" (Sramanas).So China began to have this kind of religion, and painted statues of gods.The princes and senior officials of the three princes, as well as the royal family and their relatives, have all become believers.Liu Ying, king of Chu (Liu Zhuang's younger brother), worshiped first. Bo Yang said: Liu Zhuang once dreamed of a golden man with a white light on his head.The next day, he asked the civil and military officials about the truth. When he knew that it was the Western god named "Buddha", he sent the junior guard (doctor) Cai Yin and others to Tianzhu to draw the Buddha statue, and together with the eminent monk Shemo Teng , Zhu Falan, etc., returned to China together.Carried Buddhist classics on a white horse, arrived at the gate of the country.Until today, the holy site of Baima Temple (to the east of Luoyang City, Henan Province) still exists. This was an unprecedented impact. Buddhism, a completely unfamiliar "barbarian" culture, broke into the gate of China, and soon had a fierce conflict with the Confucian system. Confucian scholars do not understand how such a grotesque religion can be believed in.However, as soon as Buddhism entered China, it took root in China. This foreign religion stimulated the rise of Taoism, a purely Chinese-standard religion.As a result, the shortcomings of Chinese culture were gradually formed bit by bit under the influence of the three sects: Confucianism cultivated Chinese feudalism and antiquity consciousness, Taoism cultivated Chinese people's inaction, and Buddhism cultivated It shows the submissive mentality of the Chinese people. 8. Total solar eclipse on October 30. Liu Zhuang issued an edict to encourage civil and military officials: to obey the law and strengthen administrative efficiency.It is required to use the most straightforward attitude to criticize the government without any taboos.As a result, officials all submitted "personal revelations" (sealing documents) to accuse the government of its faults.After Liu Zhuang saw it, he blamed himself deeply, and handed over some "closed performances" to civil and military officials for circulation.Then issued an edict: "All the criticisms of the officials are my fault. The people's injustice cannot be punished, and the officials' corruption cannot be prohibited. Instead, they rashly recruited servants to build the palace (Luoyang North Palace). There is no restraint in both collection and expenditure. , moody, not to the point. Looking back at the warnings of the ancients, I can't help being afraid. What is even more frightening is that my morals are not good enough, and I will be lazy for a long time." 9. Although the Northern Xiongnu Khanate (the royal court was located in Harhelin City, Mongolia) sent envoys to pay tribute to the Eastern Han Dynasty, the robbery and attacks on the northern border of the Eastern Han Dynasty did not stop, so that the gates along the border had to be closed during the day. Liu Zhuang discussed with civil and military officials to select and send envoys to the Northern Huns to apply for employment.Zheng Zhong wrote a letter to dissuade him, saying: "I once heard that the Shanyu of the Northern Xiongnu must send envoys from our country. The thirty-six countries in the Western Regions have become more determined in their allegiance to the Northern Huns. The Northern Huns will take the opportunity to declare that they will make peace with the Eastern Han. This kind of news is deliberately spread to neighboring and enemy countries, so that countries in the Western Regions that intend to submit to the Eastern Han will hold back; Exiled in the Western Regions, the Han people who miss their homeland are desperate for their motherland. The first time our envoys went, the Northern Huns were immediately arrogant and arrogant. If they send envoys again, the Northern Huns will definitely think that our country has jumped into its trap. Among the officials of the northern Xiongnu, those who suggested that Shanyu belong to our country dared not speak again. As a result, the confidence of the southern Xiongnu was shaken, and the Wuhuan tribe (the upper reaches of the West Liao River in Inner Mongolia) would also leave China. The southern Xiongnu Shanyu lived in the The inland (at that time the Southern Huns Khanate settled in the northern part of Hetao of the Yellow River and the northern part of Shanxi Province), knew the terrain and national conditions of our country well. Once they turned against our country, it would immediately become a disaster on the frontier. Today, fortunately, there is the Northern Frontier Corps (Du The troops of the Liao Battalion are showing their prestige in the northern part of the country. Even if they refuse to apply for employment, they dare not retaliate." Liu Zhuang refused to accept it, and instead appointed Zheng Zhong as an envoy to the Northern Huns.Zheng Zhong then wrote again, saying: "I was ordered to go there last time, because I did not bow down to Chanyu, and Chanyu was angry and sent troops to surround me. If I go again this time, I will definitely be humiliated again. I must not hold the talisman of the Eastern Han Dynasty in my hand, facing the Salute in fur and felt. Even if the Northern Huns surrender, it will hurt the prestige of the mighty Eastern Han." Liu Zhuang still refused.Zheng Zhong had no choice but to set off, and he still wrote a letter to argue on the way.Liu Zhuang was so angry that he issued an imperial edict to severely reprimand him, ordering him to return to the capital (Luoyang) and imprison him in the prison of the Ministry of Justice (Tingwei). Fortunately, he was pardoned soon and was deported back to his hometown.Later, Liu Zhuang heard from the visitors from the northern Huns that Zheng Zhong refused to bow down to the Shanyu, and a dispute broke out, so he recruited Zheng Zhong to be the military and political officer (jun Sima) of the general headquarters of the national armed forces. 1.

Liu Jing, the king of Guangling (the capital of Guangling), once again invited the magician who came to see the physiognomy, and said: "My appearance is similar to that of the first emperor (Liu Xiu, the first Guangwu Emperor), and the first emperor became emperor when he was 30 years old (Liu Xiuyu) I became emperor in 2005). I am also thirty years old this year, can I join the army?" The physiognomist was taken aback and hurriedly reported it to the local government.Liu Jing panicked and went to the prison to report by herself.Liu Zhuang was very gracious and did not pursue this matter.But he was deprived of all political power, and only received land taxes from the feudal country.Order the Prime Minister (Prime Minister) of Fengguo and the Commander (Lieutenant) of Guangling National Guard to monitor closely. However, Liu Jing asked the sorcerer to pray and curse (just to curse Liu Zhuang for his early death).Liu Zhuang issued an edict ordering the commander of the Changshui Foreign Corps (Changshui Captain) Fan Min (sound tiao) and others to organize a joint trial court.After the trial, please kill Liu Jing.Liu Zhuang said angrily, "You think Liu Jing is just my younger brother, so you plan to kill him. If it is my son, how dare you think so?" Fan Min replied, "The world belongs to Emperor Gao (Liu Bang, the first emperor of the Western Han Dynasty). , is not the world of His Majesty. The righteousness of "Spring and Autumn" means that for rebellion and rebellion, he must be killed. It is precisely because Liu Jing is the younger brother of His Majesty's same mother, and His Majesty's Sacred Heart sympathizes, that we report it specially. If it is His Majesty's son, we I will execute the sentence arbitrarily, and I will not ask for instructions." Liu Zhuang sighed and praised.Fan Min is the son of Fan Hong (Fan Hong, Liu Xiu's uncle). 1.

Xun Chi sound xun chi), increasing the joyous atmosphere between the guests and host.On the way home, I went to Nandun (Xiangcheng County, Henan Province, where my grandfather Liu Qin was the county magistrate). On December 4, Liu Zhuang returned to the capital Luoyang. 4. In the end, Ding Wei, Marquis of Lingyang, died, and his son Ding Hong should inherit the title.Ding Hong wrote a letter saying that he was seriously ill and was willing to give up the title to his younger brother Ding Sheng; the central government ignored it.After his father's burial, Ding Hong hung the mourning clothes in the small room in the cemetery, but he slipped away secretly.A good friend Bao Jun from Jiujiang County (Shouxian County, Anhui Province) met him in Donghai County (Tancheng County, Shandong Province) and scolded him: "In the past, Boyi and Wu Jizha were born in troubled times. To achieve the goal (Bo Yi, the legal heir of the monarch of Guzhu Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period, after his father died, he gave up the throne of the monarch to his younger brother Shuqi. Wu Jizha is the youngest son of Wu Shoumeng, the first king of the Wu Kingdom. After his father died, the brothers planned to give the king the throne The throne was given to him, but Wu Jizha resolutely refused). The righteousness of "Spring and Autumn" is not to interfere with the affairs of the country because of family affairs. Now, for the sake of brotherhood, you have made the father work so hard to lay the foundation that will never be destroyed , It was destroyed, is it okay?" Ding Hong suddenly realized, shed tears, and went home to inherit the title.Because Bao Jun wrote to the emperor, he praised Ding Hong for his mastery of Confucian classics and his noble conduct.刘庄征召丁鸿,任命他当宫廷随从(侍中)。 1、春季,正月,东汉王朝(首都洛阳)东平王刘苍跟其他亲王,都前来首都洛阳朝见,逗留月余,各回封国。 东汉帝(二任明帝)刘庄(本年四十一岁)亲自送别,回宫之后,感到分离的悲戚,于是亲自写信,派使节送给东平王亲王辅佐宦官(中傅),说:“离别之后,独自闷坐,郁郁寡欢。乘车回来,扶着车前横木,呻吟不语。瞻望怀念,内心兴悲。背诵《采菽》(诗篇名),更增加我的叹息。昨日,我问刘苍,身在家宅,做什么最快乐?他说:'为善最乐!'这句话涵盖面太大,简直超过他的腰围(刘苍心广体胖,胡三省注,腰粗十围)。今送上侯爵印信十九颗,刘苍儿子们年五岁以上,只要懂得行礼,就教他们佩带。” 1、春季,哀牢王(云南省南部)柳貌,率领他的部落五万余户,归附东汉王朝(首都洛阳)。东汉政府在原地设立哀牢(云南省保山市)、博南(云南省永平县)二县。开始开凿博南山(永平县西南)道路,及在兰仓水(澜沧江)上修建桥梁。行人看见工程艰苦,歌谣说:“中国恩德太深/蛮夷都肯称臣/横渡兰仓水/都为了别人。” 2、当初,一世纪最初十年,西汉王朝十四任帝(平帝)刘箕子在位时,黄河、汴河,先后决口(汴河,是一条水道不断变迁的河流,在一世纪初期,从河南省荥阳县北广武向东,直到山东省定陶县,再向南注入淮河。这条河道,七世纪隋王朝时,已经淤塞),很久没有修复(迄今已六十余年)。三四年,一任帝(光武帝)刘秀准备动工,浚仪(河南省开封市)县长乐俊,上书说:兵荒马乱之后,人民创伤正重,不适宜再征调差役;因之暂停。后来,汴河泛滥区逐渐向东扩张,灾区面积越来越大。兖州(山东省西部)、豫州(河南省)一带,人民愁苦悲愤,认为政府官员去做别的事情,忽视民间疾苦。正巧,有人推荐水利工程师、乐浪郡(朝鲜平壤市)人王景。 夏季,四月,东汉帝(二任明帝)刘庄(本年四十二岁)下诏,征调士兵民夫数十万;派王景跟皇家礼宾官兼工程总监(将作谒者)王吴,修筑汴河堤岸。西自荥阳(河南省荥阳县),东到千乘郡(山东省高青县东北)海口,计一千余里。每隔十里,立一个水坝闸门,使能够互相调节,不再有崩溃或漏水的危险。 王景虽然尽力节省费用,然而仍消耗一百亿以上。
