Chapter 45 Emperor Jing of Han who quelled the "Seven Kingdoms Rebellion" (Part 2)

The man wearing armor and riding a tall horse looked at Madoudou and Zhiguoguo, "In the wilderness, why do you stay here, are you not afraid of the beasts in the jungle?"

Madoudou saw that the man on the horse had a heroic appearance and a straight face, and did not look like a bad person. He hurriedly told the man the truth.

"Uncle, we, brother and sister, came here to escape. Unexpectedly, we got lost in the jungle while walking. If it is convenient, uncle, could you take us two brothers and sisters out of the jungle?"

The man looked at the clothes on Madoudou and Zhiguoguo, and asked Madoudou with some confusion.

"The clothes you are wearing are not the clothes of my great people, you..."

Madoudou pulled Zhi Guoguo's hand, and the brother and sister knelt directly on the ground.

"We, brother and sister, come from a very far away place. We are travelers in time and space. We got lost when we first came here. Uncle, I see you are a good person. Please take us in and give us some food. I can give

You sing to relieve your boredom."

Madoudou's words made the man a little stunned, "A far away place? A time traveler?"

Although the man was suspicious of Madou Doudou and Zhi Guoguo's identity, he saw wild beasts appearing in the jungle at any time. If he didn't save them, the two children in front of him might not be able to get out of the jungle.

"Let's do this. Seeing how pitiful you are at your young age, you can follow us to chase the rebels. When we get to a safe place, I will send you to a safe place to stay."

After the man finished speaking, he waved to the attendants beside him, and two attendants came up. One of them rode on the horse, and the other climbed onto the horse with Madoudou and Zhiguoguo in one hand.

"I wonder what your uncle's name is?" Madouudou asked the man in front of him who was rescuing him and Zhi Guoguo after he was carried by his attendants and sat on horseback.

The man looked back at Madou Dou, looked thoughtfully for a while, and then told Madou Dou his name.

"My name is Zhou Yafu, and I am here to arrest the rebels under the king's order." The man didn't say much, and after speaking concisely, he raised his whip and rode out first.

Madoudou recited Zhou Yafu's name silently in his heart, and he was very excited.

He did not expect that the man in front of him was Zhou Yafu, a famous general who helped Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty put down the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion.

"Brother, you seem very happy. Do you know his story?"

Zhi Guoguo was like a little listener, listening carefully to Madou Dou's story about Zhou Yafu.

In the evening, when he was setting up camp, Zhou Yafu took Madoudou and Zhiguoguo to his tent.

"Are you hungry? I still have some dry food here." As he said that, Zhou Yafu gave the dry food to Madoudou and Zhiguoguo.

"Uncle Zhou, why did they rebel?" Madoudou wanted to know the cause of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion from Zhou Yafu.

After Zhou Yafu frowned and looked at Madoudou for a long time, he finally spoke quietly.

"Back then, Emperor Gaozu eliminated queens with different surnames and ennobled nine kings with the same surname from the Liu family. Now they separated themselves and formed their own vassal states. By the time of Emperor Wen, rebellions among the kings with the same surname continued to occur, which posed a great threat to the centralization of power.

Seeing this situation, His Majesty had no choice but to come up with the policy of reducing vassal states, and successively issued edicts to seize the fiefdoms of Chu, Zhao and other vassal states, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the kings..."

Zhou Yafu did not finish the rest of his words. He poured a glass of water into each of Madoudou and Zhiguoguo's cups.

"Children, don't ask so many questions. Go to bed early after eating. We still have a tough battle to fight tomorrow!"

After saying that, Zhou Yafu left the tent camp.

"Sister, it is recorded in the history books that after the war between the seven kingdoms was quelled, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty took the opportunity to take back all the power of the princes to the central government and strengthened the centralization of power. From then on, in addition to having the status of the aristocracy and titles, the princes and kings no longer held administrative power and

Judicial privileges. After the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, the issue of vassal separatism was completely resolved."

Madoudou told Zhiguoguo everything he knew, and Zhiguoguo listened with great interest.
