The soft autumn light passed through the palace door, entered the palace, and shone on Emperor Liu, making it warm and comfortable. In front of the palace door, Emperor Liu was lying on the silk-backed ground, with his buttocks raised, and he was busy attentively.
Under the autumn sun, Emperor Liu's face looked particularly serious. Such concentration was rare in him. What attracted him was a puzzle. This pattern was not the idea of Emperor Liu, but the work of Duke Qi.
Something created by Liu Yun.
In the Han Dynasty, it is also a new thing. Liu Yun is a trendy player in the Han Dynasty, leading various trends in the government and the public. Jigsaw puzzle is the one most recognized by Emperor Liu, thanks to its educational properties.
, after several years of accumulation, it has also received considerable promotion.
At least, it has entered the education system of the Han Dynasty and is a kind of educational entertainment recommended by the Ministry of Rites. It can have a considerable enlightening effect on children's enlightenment education.
Of course, what Emperor Liu approves of will naturally be reflected below. Moreover, this is not limited to enlightenment education. This is a toy suitable for all ages, at least compared to those games with gambling properties that are popular among the upper class society.
Activities must have a more positive and positive effect.
Therefore, in the past few years, toys such as jigsaw puzzles have entered thousands of households in the Han Dynasty, especially those of the upper class. Things that the emperor and his majesty are playing with are obviously the best advertisements.
At this time, what Emperor Liu was playing with was a jigsaw puzzle created by the young master. It was naturally something special for the emperor to play with, not only because of the exquisite materials and exquisite workmanship, but also because of the content.
This puzzle is also a map, a map of the entire Han Dynasty. It also includes the grasslands, outer Northeast, Tubo, Nanyang and other foreign lands. Of course, the places outside Kyushu are more abstract and have several modules.
It can be solved.
Its exquisiteness is particularly prominent in the presentation of China's traditional territories. National boundaries, Taoist boundaries, and state boundaries are all clearly divided, which also reflects the administrative divisions implemented by the Han Dynasty for many years.
It has to be said that the Han Dynasty invested a lot of energy in the study of geography, and the cartography technology became more sophisticated and mature, and the calculation of distances became more accurate.
In this regard, the imperial court has already formed a tradition and maintained a mature geographical research team. For decades, through actual visits, measurements and summaries, the vast territory of the Han Dynasty was finally clearly and vividly presented.
in front of the world.
The Shaofu made this map puzzle of the Han Dynasty. After presenting it to Emperor Liu, it received high praise, and directly ordered them to mass-produce it and promote it, so that the courtiers could all pass the map modules, and even more
Feel the power and greatness of the empire in a truly detailed way.
Emperor Liu had been working on this map for half a day, and he had only completed less than one-third of it. His piecing together was also regular, following the rise of the Han Dynasty to its strength, and from separatism to unification.
along the lines of expansion over the past few decades.
Along with this process, the memory of those magnificent and prosperous years also reappeared, which aroused Emperor Liu's many emotions. When encountering key points, he always had to reminisce, and naturally he could not go faster.
As the module representing Chenzhou was installed by Emperor Liu, Emperor Liu stood up, his blood surged, his head suddenly became dazed, his vision went dark, and his body shook involuntarily.
This frightened Yantuo who was standing aside. He hurriedly stepped forward, supported Emperor Liu, and said nervously and concernedly: "Officials, be careful!"
Emperor Liu did not push away the support arrogantly this time. He closed his eyes and calmed down for a while. When the dizziness passed and his eyes were bright again, he stood firm. He raised his hand and stroked his forehead and said, "I'm fine. Look. I’m still too immersed in coming!”
"Officials, it's better to call the imperial doctor to take a look!" Yantuo suggested, feeling a little worried.
"No need!" Emperor Liu refused decisively and said softly: "It's a small problem, just let it go and it'll be fine. There's no need to worry too much, otherwise the news will get out, and I don't know what kind of trouble it will cause!"
"In the official family, the dragon's body is the most important thing!" Yantuo hesitated.
"You want to go against my will?" Emperor Liu was a little impatient.
Seeing this, Yantuo immediately knelt down and replied excitedly: "The officials even belittle and scold the young ones, but the young ones dare not be careless. The young ones still have to speak out. The official body is the most important thing for the country and the country, and the peace of the common people in the world." , Your physical health must not be neglected!"
Such a sincere confession brought tears to his eyes. Although it was a bit of a performance, Emperor Liu was moved by Yan Tuo's loyalty and self-esteem.
He couldn't say harsh words anymore, sighed, and waved his hands: "You people! You just like to make fuss out of molehills, but after crouching for a long time, it's a normal body reaction, and after you talk about it, it's so serious, so there's no need to !Get up and take a nap, I’m not feeling any better!”
Hearing this, Yantuo raised his head and looked at Emperor Liu eagerly. Seeing that he really had no abnormal reaction, he hesitantly responded: "Yes!"
However, he still paid careful attention to Emperor Liu, for fear that something might happen to him, which made Emperor Liu feel both loyal and a little ridiculous.
His attention returned to the puzzle piece at his feet. Emperor Liu held his arms in his arms and looked at his achievements with a smile on his face. He said: "The recovery of Hunan seems to have happened around the seventh year of Qianyou! In a flash, thirty The year has passed quickly, it’s been such a long time!”
"I remember that when Hunan was first restored, it was still desolate and devastated. Now, it is a land of plenty!" Emperor Liu said with emotion.
Seeing that Emperor Liu was immersed in reminiscing about the past, and there was a hint of complacency in his words, Yantuo naturally could no longer be disappointed and complimented: "This is all the result of your Majesty's hard work!"
"This credit cannot fall on me. It is the merit of Bian Guifan, Zan Jurun and other virtuous ministers who govern Hunan!" Emperor Liu shook his head and said modestly.
As soon as the thought arose, he rushed to Yantuo and ordered: "Don't forget these meritorious ministers. Send an edict to the Hunan government to build a temple with monuments and statues in Changsha to commemorate them!"
"yes!"
"By the way, where is Zhou Baoquan now?" Emperor Liu asked curiously, remembering Zhou Baoquan who was "the wisest mother of Zhou" in the Han Dynasty.
Yantuo was stunned for a moment. This touched a blind spot in his knowledge, but he couldn't directly say that he didn't know. With some vague memory, he replied: "Guangping Marquis seems to be an official in Yanshan South Road. I will go here." Inquire!"
"No need!" Emperor Liu raised his hand: "With such a virtuous mother, the children and grandchildren who have been educated should be good. I think they will be good officials!"
In fact, Zhou Baoquan is not only a good official, but also capable. Now he is the magistrate of Jizhou. His official reputation is very good, he is conscientious and diligent, and he is highly praised by his superiors and colleagues.
At the beginning, after Emperor Liu showed special grace and ended the life of raising horses in the palace, the mother and son settled down in the capital, and because they were regarded as descendants, they received the title of Marquis of Guangling.
Under the guidance of Zhou's mother, Yan, he was eager to learn and had good conduct. Later, at the age of twenty-six, he passed the Jinshi examination and entered an official career. Now, he is gradually becoming a famous official of the Han Dynasty.
In fact, Zhou Baoquan is not an exception. Among the surrendered ministers of the Han Dynasty, there were also many outstanding talents. Another representative figure is Meng Chang's eldest son Meng Xuanzhe.
He was only appointed by the imperial court, but he was still re-employed. Now he is worshiped as the Commander of the Xiazhou Army and Horses, and he is assisting Wang Qian in suppressing bandits on Yulin Road. He is a man of both civil and military talents.
It can be seen that although Emperor Liu was a jealous master and engaged in liquidation and even spy politics from time to time, the political atmosphere of the Han Dynasty was still relatively relaxed, and the Han Dynasty was still a very tolerant empire as a whole.
"This jigsaw puzzle is good and very meaningful!" Emperor Liu took two steps forward, stepped on the Gyeonggi plate, and said: "However, it is still not detailed enough at the state level. I need to give an oral instruction to the young master and let them
Think of a way to put this puzzle together at the county level."
Although it is only done at the county level, the additional work required has doubled. Today, there are 1,329 counties in Dahan. To make more than a thousand detailed puzzle modules, the workload can be imagined.
Know.
However, if it can succeed, it will be a great achievement and of extremely great significance.
