Chapter 602 Guangwu Zhongxing
Chapter 602 Guangwu Zhongxing
When Liu Xiu heard this, he just smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry to Lihua and Guo Shengtong," Liu Xiu sighed.
"What's so strange about this? I would do the same if it were me," Wang Mang shrugged. Isn't this the best choice?
Liu Xiu looked at Wang Mang. He didn't expect that he would support him in doing this and didn't harm him. Something seemed wrong.
Wang Mang rolled his eyes and said, "Liu Xiu, what are you looking at me with? I am only telling you the truth. You have failed two women at the same time. You deserve to die!"
Before he traveled through time, he had never had a woman and had never even touched a woman's hand. After he traveled through time, he was already so old. Although he was still okay, he wasn't really okay anymore. It was so infuriating!
Liu Xiu also rolled his eyes at Wang Mang and said nothing, because he also felt that he had let down two women at the same time.
"Ahem, let's not talk about this, okay?" Li Wu was really afraid that the two would quarrel again. "And Senior Liu Xiu, you already have the strength to compete with Emperor Gengshi.
When Emperor Gengshi saw that Senior Liu Xiu was growing stronger in Hebei, he was extremely panicked. Senior Liu Xiu became a thorn in the side of Emperor Gengshi.
Emperor Gengshi sent people to Hebei to confer the title of King Xiao on you, Liu Xiu, and asked you to hand over your troops and return to Chang'an to receive the title.
There is no need to guess what Emperor Gengshi is up to. Senior Liu Xiu, of course you cannot go back. If you hand over the military power and return to Chang'an, what will be waiting for you? Naturally, death!
You are not so stupid as to refuse to obey.
And naturally, Senior Liu Xiu also openly broke with the Gengshi regime.
In 25 AD, your ancestor Liu Xiu proclaimed himself emperor at Qiuqian Pavilion in Zhaocheng and established the Jianwu era, which is known in history as the Eastern Han Dynasty.
However, the Eastern Han Dynasty is a term we refer to later, and our predecessor Liu Xiu still continued to use the name of the country as the Great Han.
After that, Senior Liu Xiu pacified Guanzhong, took Guandong, pacified Longxi, and conquered Sichuan and Shu. It took him twelve years to finally pacify the world.
This made the country, which had been divided and war-torn since the end of the Xinmang Dynasty, unified again.
Senior Liu Xiu, you governed the country with judo and initiated the Guangwu Restoration of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Senior Liu Xiu, you have done a really good job."
Liu Xiu was praised by the little immortal and raised his eyebrows provocatively towards Wang Mang. That look said it all.
Wang Mang clenched his fists. This Liu Xiu was going too far. Otherwise, huh, Wang Mang felt that he might really not be able to beat this damn Liu Xiu.
After hearing about Liu Xiu's impressive military achievements, he knew that he, who was weak as a kitten, was definitely no match for Liu Xiu, so he could only silently endure the other party's provocation and could not resist, otherwise he would be the one to suffer if a fight broke out.
In Wang Mang's heart, he had already cursed Liu Xiu's ancestors for eighteen generations.
In the barrage, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty praised Liu Xiu in various ways, especially Liu Bang, who never stopped smiling. At first, he thought that his Han Dynasty had perished, but he did not expect that Liu Xiu would come back to life. Liu Xiu, his good grandson!!!
Liu Bang saved the Han Dynasty, and for this he deliberately @ed Qin Shi Huang and showed off in front of him, which made Qin Shi Huang very angry.
However, when he thought about the fact that he had eaten the elixir of immortality, he thought that in the future his Great Qin would only prosper in his hands and would never perish. Others who wanted to rebel would not consider their own strength.
Forget it, he won't bother with that short-lived ghost.
Fortunately, people in other dynasties did not know that Qin Shihuang had taken the elixir of immortality, otherwise there would be a lot of trouble.
"In 40 AD, a woman from Jiaozhi rose up in rebellion, captured more than cities, and declared herself king, known in history as the 'Queen of Conquest'.
In 42 AD, your Excellency Liu Xiu sent Ma Yuan to pacify Lingnan. The Han army was unstoppable all the way. In the first month of the following year, Ma Yuan beheaded the Queen and put an end to the war.
In 43 AD, Liu Xiu thought that Yang, the son of Yin and King of Donghai, was intelligent, and Crown Prince Jiang had submitted a letter to resign from the throne, so he deposed Jiang as King of Donghai and made Yang the crown prince, changing Yang's name to Zhuang. Liu Zhuang was later Emperor Ming of Han.
In fact, as early as two years ago, Senior Liu Xiu had abolished Guo Shengtong and made Yin Lihua the queen. Although Guo Shengtong did not commit any mistakes, Senior Liu Xiu liked Yin Lihua and the only person you wanted to make the queen was Yin Lihua.
If the Guo family had not been more powerful at the time, you would not have been able to make Guo Shengtong the queen. So you have been wanting to make Yin Lihua the queen for so many years. After waiting for so many years, you finally got the chance.
Fortunately, Queen Yin was also a kind queen, and Guo Shengtong lived a peaceful life.
Fortunately, Guo Shengtong met Yin Lihua, otherwise, if it were someone else, who knows what life would be like after being deposed," Li Wu shook his head. People in the palace were all opportunists. Well, not to mention the palace, most people were opportunists. After Guo Shengtong was deposed, no matter what Yin Lihua wanted to do, Guo Shengtong would not have an easy time.
"Hehe, little fairy, you don't have to say this," Liu Xiu was also guilty. He naturally knew that he was sorry for Guo Shengtong, but what could he do? He couldn't be sorry for Lihua. Lihua was the person he loved the most. He wanted to make her the queen and make their son the crown prince. Was he wrong?
Even though he was wrong, he still wanted to do it and he would compensate Guo Shengtong.
The ancestors in front of the sky curtain were also speechless. They didn't expect that Liu Xiu was still so love-brained that he later made his beloved woman the queen. However, they were just expressing their speechlessness.
Most people didn't say anything. Zhu Zhanji said that he did the same thing, so why was he scolded so badly? Damn Zhu Qizhen, this rebellious son!
"Chengcheng, I won't talk about this. I will continue to talk about your deeds, Senior Liu Xiu.
In 51 AD, you, Mr. Liu Xiu, issued several edicts to release slaves and prohibit the harm to them.
This greatly improved the problem of a large number of farmers who had lost their land and become slaves since the end of the Western Han Dynasty.
It also solved the problem of a large amount of wasteland and insufficient population after the war.
Senior Liu Xiu, you implemented light taxes and levies. In order to reduce the number of poor people selling themselves into slavery, you often distributed relief grain, reduced rent and labor service, developed agricultural production, and built water conservancy projects.
Under the governance of your Excellency Liu Xiu, the population has reached more than 20 million, more than doubling, and the economy has also developed greatly.
In 57 AD, you, Senior Liu Xiu, passed away in the front hall of Nangong Palace at the age of 62.
"It seems that I have done a very good job in my life. At least I am much better than someone else," Liu Xiu nodded with satisfaction after listening to his own deeds, and even glanced at Wang Mang.
Wang Mang's fists clenched again. He wanted to curse. This Liu Xiu was simply hateful. Was there any point in implying something about him over and over again?
"Of course you did a great job. Senior Liu Xiu, you are known as the most perfect emperor.
Under your governance, the Eastern Han Dynasty is thriving and flourishing. Let us toast to Senior Liu Xiu," Li Wu raised his glass, and several others followed suit.
Wang Mang had a blank expression on his face and raised his glass reluctantly. He didn't want to congratulate Liu Xiu at all.
