Chapter 40 Two, the top of Mount Tai

Queen Guo was indeed very unfortunate in her life.She met the wrong opponent at the wrong time.Back then, Yin Lihua had just arrived, but she didn't dare to compete with her because she didn't have a son.Years passed in a blink of an eye, but Yin Lihua was not idle, and gave birth to five sons in one breath, and finally caught up with Queen Guo. Ever since, what Empress Guo had, Yin Lihua also had.But Yin Lihua has them, but Queen Guo doesn't.Yin Lihua has a beautiful appearance and sincere and romantic love, does Queen Guo have it?No.She only has a lot of tears, which flow to the bright moon.

However, Queen Guo was lucky again.She was in the right place, at the right time, losing to the right person.In the history of the Han Dynasty, the women in the harem who fought for the wind and were jealous had never ended in the worst, only worse.Lu Pheasant was to Mrs. Qi, and the Queen Mother was to Mrs. Li; Mrs. Qi became the only human being in history, and Mrs. Li died of depression.There was also that Chen Ajiao, who fought back and forth with Wei Zifu, but unfortunately her skills were not as good as others, so Liu Che locked her into the cold palace. Mrs. Qi paid the compensation, and her son Zhao Ruyi was also killed. As for Mrs. Li, her life was lost, and her son Liu Rong did not save her life either.The mother is more valuable than the son, and the son is more valuable than the mother. Both are people on the same boat.When one person fell, the whole family suffered.

However, Queen Guo did not.She was crippled, and the hope of life was gone like a star, but her life went on.Her younger brother, Guo Kuang, continued to be an official; her sons were firmly established as princes and kings.Only the crown prince was always uneasy. In the power field of the imperial palace of the Han Dynasty, whenever the imperial power changes, there must be a fierce struggle.At the beginning, Wei Zifu fell out of favor, and the prince Liu Ju was sued by the villain Jiang Chong. In order to protect himself, he did not hesitate to fight his father Liu Che with his troops.The result was bleak, Liu Ju committed suicide, and his family almost died.

Queen Guo's luck lies in the fact that he gave birth to a smart son.When the prince Liu Qiang saw that his mother was deposed, he knew that the situation was over.After much deliberation, he decided to ask Liu Xiu to resign as the crown prince. When Liu Xiu heard this, she shook her head and disagreed.Liu Qiang was in a hurry, so he resigned again, many times.Liu Xiuyi changed his previous aggressive style, remained silent and did not answer. Two years later, Liu Qiang resigned again, saying that he was willing to be demoted to become a prince, and the crown prince should be left to others.This time, Liu Xiu finally nodded, removed Liu Qiang from the throne, and changed his title to King of the East China Sea.Liu Qiang is a good boy, and Liu Xiu told him that the king was sealed for you, but you should not rush to seal the country, you can stay in Luoyang for more fun.

In this way, Liu Qiang has been playing in Luoyang for many years.Nine years later, after leaving Luoyang, the country was sealed off.After Queen Guo left Luoyang, she felt lost.But she didn't make things difficult for herself, and she lived another eleven years in one breath.Finally, reluctantly waved his sleeves to bid farewell to the clouds in Luoyang. This ending is not perfect, but it is the most humane ending.Liu Xiu was helpless, but satisfied enough. So far, many important events in Liu Xiu's life have been almost completed.He decided to set aside some time to do something healthy for his body and mind.In 54 A.D., when Liu Xiu was fifty-nine years old, he left Luoyang and traveled all over the world.

direction, east. Since Qin Shihuang, Chinese emperors always liked to run to the east whenever they had time to spare.Qin Shihuang made many eastward tours, almost to the point of masochistic.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not to be outdone, and he brought along literati and inkmen to fly flags and sing songs all the way, which was very pleasant. In contrast, Liu Xiu's east tour was very low-key.He planned to only go to places such as Lu State and Jinan State, and return home after walking around.But on the way, someone told him, it's rare to see you have leisure time, and it's not easy to come out.There is a place, Your Majesty, don't forget to come.

That place is Mount Tai, one of the Five Sacred Mountains.Of course, the left and right asked Liu Xiu to go to Mount Tai, not only to play, but to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen. Throughout the ages, Chinese emperors are like crucian carp crossing the river, which dazzles you.However, very few people have actually been to Mount Tai.It's not that those emperors didn't want to go, but they didn't dare to go.If you want to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen, you need to talk about seniority.If you don't have enough qualifications, even if someone sends you there for free, you don't dare to go.

Of course, if you go to heaven, you won't be hacked.But naturally someone will attack you, and those who dare to go with low qualifications will definitely be flooded with saliva after returning. Among the many emperors in China, there is nothing to say about Liu Xiu's qualifications.As I said before, in comparison, he is simply the emperor of emperors. Compared with Qin Shihuang, he is less violent and enjoys the blessings of descendants.Qin Shihuang will not deal with the aftermath, let a prodigal son Ying Huhai defeat all the country.Compared with Liu Bang, both of them have top-notch escape skills; without Zhang Liang and Han Xin, Liu Bang would feel panicked, but Liu Xiu would not; And Liu Xiu's outstanding military talent surpassed many generals like Deng Yu and Feng Yi.

Only Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty seemed to be better than blue.However, Li Shimin's Xuanwumen mutiny seized power, and his name was not justified.Liu Xiu is not the case. He started from a low level and grew up quickly. He completed the unification of the world in his lifetime and merged it into a blueprint for the development of the Han Dynasty. Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin rose up in troubled times, inherited Liu Xiu's mantle, and released military power with a glass of wine.However, the Song Dynasty had only half of the country, and Liu Xiu was not. The vastness of the Eastern Han Dynasty was beyond comparison with the Song Dynasty.Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang had a lower starting point and grew faster.But he is cruel and ruthless, and is obsessed with murder.Almost all the meritorious deeds for founding the country were chopped off by him.

In the past and present two thousand years, only Liu Xiu stands tall and stands in the forest of emperors.He is like Mount Tai, the head of the Five Sacred Mountains, who can see all the small mountains at a glance.Such an expert, if he said he dare not climb Mount Tai, who else would dare to go? But Liu Xiu just said, don't be ridiculous, the country has been established for 30 years, and its achievements are still not satisfactory.As long as the common people are not satisfied with their lives, I dare not go to Mount Tai to deceive God.This is the end of this matter, and no one is allowed to mention the matter of ascending Mount Tai to enshrine Zen in the future.If anyone dares to mention it, his head will be shaved, and his body will be exiled, so that he can't finish eating.

Liu Xiu bluffed everyone. Could it be that his life just passed by, and he didn't want to leave his beautiful political footprints on Mount Tai?No one knew, and no one dared to ask. Is Liu Xiu really humble, or is she trying to put on a show?No one can guess.Extraordinary people often do extraordinary things and do extraordinary things. It is hard for us idiots to see their hearts, and there is nothing wrong with it.Soon, however, Liu Xiu changed his mind. The reason for this is that Liu Xiu read a book, which is a mysterious prophecy book called "He Tu Hui Chang Talisman".There is a sentence in the book that goes like this: "Chiliu Zhijiu will order Daizong." In the Han Dynasty, the mysterious prophecy was first used as a gossip for sensationalism after dinner and dinner.Later, after Liu Xiang and Wang Mang transformed it into official scholarship, people all over the country talked about Tuji.As a result, mysterious prophecy books are flying all over the sky, and the real version is pirated, and no one knows about it. In Liu Xiu's life, power, beauty, music and other things are nothing in his eyes.He has a unique quirk, that is, he likes to study the so-called mysterious prophecies. The reason why he never gets tired of it is that he complied with a certain Ji dialect that had been widely circulated many years ago and became the emperor.Since then, he has only followed suit. To be honest, Liu Xiu is invincible if he takes things seriously, but when he becomes confused, it really makes people laugh and cry.Back then, when he first became emperor, he worshiped Deng Yu as his prime minister, but he couldn't think of who should be Da Sikong and Da Sima.So, he went to look through the mysterious prophecy books at home and found two candidates.One is Wang Liang and the other is Sun Xian. It doesn't matter who the two are.The important thing is that Liu Xiu's comrades who fought side by side with him are not happy.There are many outrageous things in the world, but how can anyone find an official position by flipping through the book?In the end, under pressure, Liu Xiu had no choice but to withdraw her thoughts and choose Wu Han as the chief minister, and the turmoil stopped there. "Chiliu Zhijiu will order Daizong." What does this mean?In fact, it is not difficult to understand.Chiliu means the surname Liu.After the great ancestor Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, he advocated red color, and Liu's regime was called Chiliu.Chi Liu Zhijiu is the ninth generation of the Liu family.Daizong is another name for Mount Tai. This roughly means that the ninth-generation descendants of the Liu family should go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen.Liu Xiu happened to be the ninth grandson of Liu Bang, and the person who enshrined Zen must be the emperor.According to the mysterious prophecy, no matter how much he didn't want to go out, he had to make a hard trip to Mount Tai. When Liu Xiu saw this for the first time, she was extremely suspicious.The reasons are very complicated, and I think one of the reasons is that he is worried that he will be deceived by reading pirated books.So, he immediately called Huben Zhonglang and Liang Song over, and assigned a mission. The task is very simple, it is to go to the library and look through all the mysterious prophecy books collected to see if there are any words similar to "Chiliu Zhijiu, will order Daizong". Liang Song kowtowed and worked hard when he was scolded, and he was also very active in running errands.Soon, he found a book.The name is "He Luo Ji Wen".Looking at the title of the book, I guess it is similar to our "Xinhua Dictionary".The latter includes Chinese characters, while the former includes all Ji languages. Liang Song went to see Liu Xiu with the book, and said that there was indeed an article in the book, which was similar to what His Majesty read.Before Liang Song left, the sycophant came. People in the arena involuntarily.For a person like Liu Xiu who doesn't like to listen to good things, the sycophant system will get a chance to sycophant, which is only once in five hundred years.This is a godsend opportunity, of course they can't miss it. The first person to move upon hearing the news was Sikong and Zhang Chun.He is a descendant of Zhang Anshi, the richest man in the Han Dynasty in the era of Liu Bingji. Liu Xiu said before that anyone who wants to bring up the matter of enshrining Zen in Mount Tai will have his head shaved and exiled.Flattering is like doing business. You are responsible for your own profits and losses, and you are willing to gamble and admit defeat.Zhang Chun inherited the family tradition and decided to fight.He led a group of people, risking being driven out of Luoyang with their heads shaved, and jointly signed a letter, suggesting that Liu Xiu climb Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. Soon, Liu Xiu wrote back.He said, for the sake of everyone's sincerity, I will not shave your heads, so I have to work hard and climb Mount Tai myself. AD 56, January 28th.Liu Xiu officially set off, and one month later, he successfully climbed to the top of Mount Tai. The Zen ritual is very cumbersome, but this is the rarest happy time in Liu Xiu's life.He stood up from the bottom of the grass root, jumped in the dragon field, leaped on the riverside, and flew on the top of the mountain.Mountains are as high as man-made peaks, and Liu Xiu exhausted his life to reach the pinnacle of his life, realizing the height that all great men aspire to reach. At this moment, history has witnessed that Liu Xiu will be immortal!
