Wei and Jin cooks

In the twenty-fifth year of Yuanzhen, at the birthday party of the princess, Zhao Hanzhang announced that he would abdicate and cede the throne to Zhao Mingming.

The courtiers were silent for a while.

Zhao Hanzhang has a distinctive personality, and the courtiers have long understood her temper through years of working together. She likes to chat with people about small things to show her humility and other good qualities, but she never tests people's hearts with big things.

So they all knew that since Zhao Hanzhang had spoken out about such a big thing as abdication, he must have made up his mind.

For more than 20 years, there is nothing the emperor can't do when he makes up his mind, let alone something like the Zen position?

If they dissuade her, I wonder if the new emperor will think that they disapprove of her taking the throne;

If they praise her so much, I wonder if the emperor and her will think that they have surrendered to the new emperor a long time ago...

So forget it, this is the emperor's family matter, they should keep their heads down and their ears open to listen.

Officials in the DPRK changed one after another. Some died, some resigned and went into seclusion, and some were promoted and promoted normally.

Ji Yuan and Ming Yu had been demoted a few years ago, and later the new reform law was proposed. At this time, they were still in the position of prime minister.

When they heard that Zhao Hanzhang wanted to take the throne, their brows jumped. They looked at each other and knew that it was time for them to abdicate.

This time is different from the past. Once you retreat, you will never come back.

There are many ministers who have the same enlightenment as Ji Yuan Mingyu.

Over the years, Zhao Hanzhang has promoted many young people from the talent recruitment examination, and they have been involved in politics for more than ten years. These people are in their prime, and she has basically put them in various places for training. In the past few years, they returned to Beijing for a while, and they were not very successful. The official in the capital was released again in the next year, but he was not abandoned again.

In the past, they did not expect that it was because Zhao Hanzhang was in his prime, but now it seems that these people were obviously trained by her for the Crown Princess.

Your Majesty, she was planning to abdicate today more than ten years ago?

It’s scary to think about it carefully!

In addition to Zhao Hanzhang, Zhao Mingming also trained his own team.

After she presided over the successful conclusion of the "cancellation of official service" case, Zhao Hanzhang asked her to supervise the country. He went out on inspection tours from time to time. Last year, there was a rebellion among the local people in Jiaozhou. Zhao Hanzhang, who was touring Jiangnan, suddenly appeared in Jiaozhou for some unknown reason.

She directly took over the military power in Jiaozhou and mobilized troops from Guangzhou, Jingzhou and Ningzhou. She not only quelled the rebellion in Jiaozhou, but also reached the Mekong River in one go.

The Jiaozhou we are talking about now refers to the Vietnam area in later generations. Before the Song Dynasty, the Vietnam area had always been an area directly under the jurisdiction of China.

After Qin Shihuang unified the world, this area was called Baiyue and was directly under the imperial court. This was the case in the Han Dynasty. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it was directly under Soochow. After Soochow was destroyed, it was returned to Jin.

Naturally, after the fall of Jin, it belonged to Zhao Hanzhang's Hua Kingdom.

Historically, after the fall of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, this area was not divided and always belonged to the Southern Kingdom. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Annan Protectorate was established here. At that time, the Protectorate was located in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Until the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin canonized the King of Ding as the King of Jiaozhi and recognized its independence. The area directly under it became a vassal state and was no longer the territory of China.

Zhao Hanzhang did not want to leave the territorial disputes to future generations. The reason for the Jiaozhou rebellion was that the imperial court directly sent several officials to manage it, which was contrary to the interests of the local chieftains;

Second, there was instigation by people from the southern tribe.

That is the Shan Kingdom, which is the area around Laos and Thailand.

But... the Shan Kingdom has been destroyed and the country is fragmented. It is now ruled by various tribes and there is no unified country.

Zhao Hanzhang caught people and asked about them before he found out that these tribes knew that the Eastern Suzerain Kingdom was becoming more and more powerful, and wanted to send envoys to the court to pay homage. They also wanted to ask the emperor to choose a king for us (preferably someone from their tribe), but in Jiaozhou, The tribes on the border had conflicts with them and were worried that they would get support from the court after contacting Luoyang.

Therefore, they joined forces with some local officials to prevent them from paying tribute in every possible way. The southern tribes could not cross the blockade at all.

After seven or eight years of hard work, Zhao Hanzhang could not be seen. When these tribes got angry, they simply incited the chieftains in Jiaozhou to rebel.

This wave of reverse operations did successfully attract Zhao Hanzhang's attention, so Zhao Hanzhang simply went to the Mekong River and captured all these tribes.

Don't appoint a king, appoint a county guard or something like that. From now on, everyone will be managed by China, so there is no need to be afraid of internal fighting.

This battle not only frightened the chieftains in Jiaozhou and the southern tribes, but also frightened the court officials.

The emperor went on a personal expedition, but he didn't say a word to the court and just ran to the border without saying a word. It's simply unreasonable!

However, Zhao Hanzhang felt a long-lost sense of freedom.

Originally, she expected to work until Zhao Mingming was thirty years old. After thirty years, he would be in charge of the country for seven or eight years, which was no different from the deputy emperor. After seven or eight years, he would become familiar with it, and the transition of imperial power would be smoother by then.

By then she would be fifty-one years old. Calculating the retirement age in her previous life, she would have retired a few years early due to injury, and she would be considered a hard-working working people.

Simply perfect!

But, the taste of freedom is so addictive.

So after returning to Luoyang from Jiaozhou, Zhao Hanzhang quietly discussed with Fu Tinghan.

Fu Tinghan is even more pitiful than Zhao Hanzhang. She has been out on patrol every year for the past few years, while he has been sitting in Luoyang. The farthest place is a few sections of the Yellow River. So when she mentioned it, he nodded immediately, and the couple started to move quietly.

The two first observed Zhao Mingming's supervision of the country and found that there was no trouble in her supervision. Zhao Hanzhang simply refused to take over the power and allowed her to continue to supervise the country on the grounds of illness and physical weakness. He would appear from time to time to give her guidance.

Zhao Mingming supervised the country for two years. Zhao Hanzhang thought it was enough and announced the news of the Zen position.

The Zen ceremony takes time to prepare.

Whenever there was a major event, the emperor would consult Zheng Guo Pu, the eunuch of Qin Tian.

Guo Pu chose a good day in the first month.

Zhao Hanzhang is very satisfied with this day.

In the first month of the year, there is no work to do, there are many holidays, everyone is free, and at the beginning of the new year, it is easy to change the year number.

The best thing is that just two months after the Zen position is the time when spring flowers bloom, which is very suitable for traveling.

So Zhao Hanzhang agreed with a wave of his hand.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month in the twenty-sixth year of Yuanzhen, this year was also called the first year of Heshun. The imperial concubine Zhao Renjia succeeded to the throne as emperor, and Zhao Hanzhang became the supreme emperor. They moved out of the palace and lived back in the General's Mansion.

Because of this, Zu Ti and Bei Gongchun, who had the general's plaque, silently removed their own plaque and hid it in the warehouse.

Heshun lasted only three years. In the fourth year, the new emperor changed the reign name to Jianchang, ushering in a new era.

Later generations regarded this change as a complete change of power.

Because in the first year of Heshun, Ji Yuan resigned, and in the third year of Heshun, Zu Ti resigned, and the Supreme Emperor Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan also left Luoyang to tour the country. Only then did the Supreme Emperor and the old ministers who had been pressing on the new emperor hand over power.

Therefore, from the first year of Heshun to the third year of Heshun, they were jokingly called the 26th to 28th year of Yuanzhen Extra by later generations of netizens.

For this reason, netizens often debate whether Zhao Hanzhang was in power for 25 years or 28 years?

In the last twenty-five years, he won subtly with a slightly larger number of votes. The reason is that since Zhao Hanzhang, his descendants have tacitly agreed to only reign for twenty-four years.

Not to mention those who will die before they arrive, those who can live beyond this age have tacitly agreed to abdicate in the twenty-fourth year, euphemistically speaking, they cannot surpass Emperor Taizu.

Of course, Zhao Hanzhang came to Sun Hua and Emperor Wu was not counted. This emperor ascended the throne at the age of twelve and ruled for twenty-seven years. Finally, under the hints of the courtiers, he finally gave the throne to his son. It was he who said, "Emperor Taizu is really the second emperor." "Eighteen years." This led to the controversy over whether it was twenty-five years or twenty-eight years.

After three years of his son's reign, because his son made his father-in-law the prime minister, let his uncle enter the parliamentary chamber, and also misappropriated money from the treasury to build a villa, he finally couldn't stand his son's stupidity and directly gave up the throne. He usurped it, ascended the throne of God himself, and then worked hard to create humans.

This time, he reigned for another twenty-four years.

In the twenty-fourth year, he abdicated the throne to his sixteen-year-old daughter, and sat on the throne to watch her rule. It was not until Emperor Xiao was twenty years old that he could take charge of his own affairs, and then he removed the throne from the throne.

Therefore, although Emperor Wu was not the longest-lived emperor in the history of China, he was the emperor who had been in power and actually controlled power for the longest time.

He is also one of the most controversial emperors, and like his ancestor Zhao Hanzhang, he is the most talked about. (End of chapter)
