————The following text————

In the sixteenth year of Wei Zhaowu, Wei finally conquered all other countries and unified the Central Plains.

However, considering that there were still people in Han, Qi, Chu, Qin and other places who were dissatisfied with Wei's rule, and they still had many conflicts with the Wei people, so in the spring of the 17th year, Wei King Zhao Run changed his reign name to "Jianhe" and devoted himself to communication.

The conflicts between the people of Wei, Han, Qi, Chu, and Qin.

Therefore, the seventeenth year of Zhaowu was the first year of Jianhe.

In the same year, Wei general Sima An died of illness, and Wei King Zhao Run gave Sima An the posthumous title of Liehou.

After that, Bai Fangming, Sima An's deputy general, served as the governor of Hexi.

At the beginning of the first year of Jianhe, at the suggestion of the minister Jie Ziu of the Inner Dynasty, King Zhao Run of Wei consecrated Zen to worship heaven on Mount Tai, declaring that the world had ended the age of kingdoms and entered the age of a unified empire.

The king of Wei, Zhao Run, was also revered as the "Emperor Wu" of Wei.

At this time, veteran cabinet ministers Li Liang and Xu Guan were already old, but they still insisted on accompanying Wei King Zhao Run to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven. They died with a smile after offering sacrifices to heaven. Wei Emperor Zhao Run was deeply saddened.

In the sixth year of the same year, Wei Emperor Zhao Run summoned Jie Ziyu, Wei Yang, Zhang Qigong, Kaifangdi, Guan Zhong, Bao Shu and other civil servants to the Ganlu Hall to discuss the general strategy of governing the country, hoping that Wei would change from "pacifying the world" to "ruling the world".

.

At this time, the biggest hidden danger of the Wei State was not only the conflicts among the people of Wei, Qin, Chu, Han, and Qi under its rule, but also the major unrest factor of the old aristocrats of various countries.

The power of the old nobles of various countries, including the Ying family, the Zhao family, the Tian family of Qi, the Xiong family of Chu and other nobles of the old Qin State, after they obeyed the Wei State, the power of their families was not greatly weakened. Under Wei Emperor Zhao

With Run's tacit approval, he still governed the local area on behalf of the imperial court.

Therefore, people like Jie Ziu, Wei Yang, Zhang Qigong, Guan Zhong, Bao Shu and others believed that this move was not conducive to the long-term stability of the country. Therefore, Jie Ziu and others proposed to abolish the enfeoffment system, weaken the kings of cities, and strengthen the functions of counties and counties.

However, this suggestion was opposed by the Zongfu Zongzheng Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng, the king of Yao, believed that if the functions of counties and counties were strengthened, the enfeoffment system was abolished, and the kings of cities were weakened, this would completely dissolve the Zhao royal family and the old nobles such as the Ying family, the Xiong family, and the Tian family, and create new ones representing the imperial court.

The gentry class replaced them.

Zhao Sheng's opposition was successively opposed by many great nobles of the Wei state, including Yan Wang Zhao Jiang, Huan Wang Zhao Xuan, Anping Marquis Zhao Tan, Hedong Shou Wei Ji, Lantian Jun Ying banished, Liyang Jun Xiong Sheng, etc.

At this time, the most serious disputes and conflicts broke out between the old aristocratic forces and the gentry and bureaucratic class.

In September, Emperor Zhao Run of the Wei Dynasty, against all opinions, abolished the feudal system and strengthened the functions of counties and counties. However, the kings of the cities who had previously been granted fiefs were not among them. As an appeasement to the nobles, they would never take back their fiefdoms unless their direct blood relatives were cut off.

Yap.

At this point, the contradiction between the old aristocratic forces of Wei and the gentry of Wei was temporarily reconciled, but in essence, the former was destined to be surpassed or even replaced by the latter.

In order to better strengthen the functions of counties and counties, the imperial court divided the world into forty-six counties, with left and right prime ministers. The left prime minister was Jie Zizi, who led the inner dynasty. The right prime minister was Zhai Huang, who led the Tiance Mansion on behalf of the emperor. They did not know each other.

put one's oar in.

But even so, it still couldn't stop the situation where the imperial court was powerful and Tiance Mansion was weak.

The reason is very simple. First, the imperial court has a military department that is mainly responsible for war logistics and transportation, which can suppress Tiance Mansion. Now that the world is at peace, Tiance Mansion has basically no place to use it, unless it goes on an expedition to the grasslands beyond the Great Wall to expand its territory again.

In order to suppress the imperial court, especially the inner dynasty, Wei ministers such as Zhao Sheng, Wei Feng, Tian Tao, Xiong Sheng, etc., implored the Censor to increase the power of the Censor. The Censor has benefited from this, and the Censor has now become the chief minister in the court, in addition to the left and right prime ministers.

, third-party power forces mutually constrain the relationships between civil servants and generals, aristocrats and noble families.

In addition to the struggle between the forces of the DPRK and China, the Wei State also issued a decree that year, advocating the "Su's Weights and Measures" originally formulated by Wei Emperor Zhao Run, making it the only measurement standard in the country.

Furthermore, the left prime minister Jie Zizi proposed to abolish the scripts of other countries so that everyone in the world could speak and write the Wei script.

This proposal was almost opposed by most of the remnants of the old kingdoms, but was supported by the Wei people.

It is worth mentioning that the alliance between the Zhao royal family of Wei and the Xiong family, Ying family, Tian family, Han family, etc. that originally jointly opposed the "abolition of the feudal system" was almost collapsed.

However, just when the ministers were arguing with each other, Wei Emperor Zhao Run made an arbitrary decision. He even abandoned the old characters of Wei State and ordered the Imperial Academy to use the old Wei characters as the backbone to absorb the old characters.

The scripts of various countries will be reorganized into a set of scripts and relatively simplified to make them a common script used by the country in the future.

As soon as this decree came out, people from Wei, Qin, Chu, Qi, Han, etc. were all shocked by it.

But because this matter was relatively fair, no one had anything to say.

In comparison, the Wei people were the most dissatisfied, but due to the great power of Wei Emperor Zhao Run, the matter had to be left alone.

All in all, in the first year of Jianhe, the Wei court established the "Shu Tongwen", "The Carts Tongrail", "Unity Measurement" and other decrees that would benefit future generations, and under the power of Wei Emperor Zhao Run, these reforms

Smooth implementation.

In the spring of the second year of Jianhe, Anping Marquis Zhao Tan accidentally fell off his horse and died while riding drunk.

Wei Emperor Zhao Run was very sad, so the imperial court came to comfort his family and appointed Tian Dan to lead the suppression of the rebels and Tian Wu as deputy general.

A few years later, Tian Wuxian died of an old injury due to alcoholism, and his son Tian Tian was promoted as deputy general.

A few years later, Tian Dan resigned as a general in old age and recommended Tian Tian to take charge of suppressing the rebel army. Wei Emperor Zhao Run agreed.

In the summer of the second year of Jianhe, Donghu united with Lou Fan to attack Jijun of Wei State again. Wei generals Shaohu and Qin Kai sent troops to resist.

In this battle, the old general Shao Hu died on the way. Qin Kai asked Tiance Mansion for help, and Tiance Mansion sent King Zhao Jiang of Yan to support him.

In the autumn of the third year of Jianhe, Lin Hu and the Xiongnu also came out of Yinshan and tried to recapture the Hetao. Zhao Yue, the defender of Shuofang, asked Lian Pi, the former guard of the central fortress, for help, and Lian Pi asked for reinforcements.

In the spring of the fourth year of Jianhe's reign, Emperor Wei ordered Lian Pi to be the commander-in-chief. He led Taiyuan to guard Lecheng, Yanmen to guard Han Chi (son of Han Wu), and Shangdang to guard Jiang Bi to attack Lin Hu and the Xiongnu.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Shangdang guard Jiang Bi died, and the Tiance Mansion ordered King Huan Zhao Xuan to lead Jin Pai, Han Xu and other generals to replace the Shangdang army in the northern expedition.

In the spring of the fifth year of Jianhe's reign, Longxi County was attacked by the Western Qiang. Wei Ji, the defender of Hedong, sent a petition to support Longxi, and the Wei Emperor agreed.

A few days later, Tiance Mansion ordered Hedong to guard Wei Ji, and led Gongsun Qi, Marquis of Wuxin, and Wang Jian, Marquis of Changxin, to attack the Western Qiang.

This battle lasted for a whole year. In the end, Wei Ji, the king of Lintao, defeated the Xiqiang and defended Longxi County. However, due to his physical condition, he had to stay in Longxi County to recuperate.

However, not long after, Wei Ji died of illness in Lintao, Longxi. It is said that he died with a smile on his face.

Afterwards, considering the threat of the Western Qiang, the Tiance Mansion ordered Wang Jian to guard Longxi, so that he could attack the Western Qiang so that the Western Qiang would not dare to invade Wei again.

In the same year, Hejian Shou Yanju died of illness.

In the blink of an eye, ten years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, under the impartial governance of the Wei Emperor, the conflicts between the Wei people and the Qin people, Chu people, Qi people, and Korean people were greatly alleviated, and they gradually became harmonious with each other.

Both the Wei Emperor and the imperial court believed that this event was worthy of celebration, so in the spring of the 11th year of Jianhe's reign, the reign name was changed to "Yanhe" in order to continue peace.

The eleventh year of Jianhe was the "first year of Yanhe".

It has to be said that the Jianhe period was the most critical decade for the Wei State after it unified the Central Plains. Under the governance of Wei Emperor Zhao Run, the Wei State continued to develop with bumps and bumps, and tried its best to avoid internal strife among the people in various parts of the country.

Infighting between nobles and gentry was avoided.

But in these ten years, Wei also lost many outstanding talents.

For example, Zheng Tu, the Minister of Rites, Tao Ji, the Minister of War, Tang Zheng, the Minister of Punishments, Chu Shuli, the Prime Minister of Daliang Mansion, Yang Yu, the Minister of Dali Temple, Meng Wei, the Minister of Works, etc. Not only did the six ministers of the imperial court almost have a blood exchange, but even

At that time, many people including governors, county magistrates, etc. in various counties and counties in Wei State also passed away.

In the early years of Yanhe, Zhao Sheng, the king of the Zongfu Zongzheng Yao, passed away, and the Wei Emperor appointed his brother Zhao Xin as Zongzheng.

In the same year, Xiong Sheng, Lord of Liyang, passed away.

In the second year of Yanhe, King Zhao Jiang of Yan defeated Donghu, but unfortunately he died on the way back. The news spread to Luoyang, and Emperor Wei felt deeply sad.

In the same year, Wang Jian, the governor of Longxi, launched a large-scale attack on the Western Qiang and severely damaged the Western Qiang, causing them to retreat hundreds of miles westward.

In the same year, Lu Balong, the leader of the Lun tribe, died due to addiction to drinking and sex.

Three years of Yanhe...

The fourth year of Yanhe...

Until the tenth year of Yanhe, after twenty years of governance, Wei became increasingly stable and its national power was growing.

At this time, Wei Emperor Zhao Run was already seventy years old. Among the Zongwei generals, Shen Yu, Wei Jiao, Lu Mu and others had all passed away one after another. Even Mu Qing, the youngest Zongwei general, was over seventy years old at this time.

Ten years ago, he was very old.

One day, Emperor Wei Zhao Run summoned Mu Qing to the palace and said with a smile: "When I was fourteen years old, I made an appointment with all the ministers. In the future, I would be the king of leisure in the prosperous times.

At its peak, even if I am not here, the prince can still take charge of the country. I wonder if you still have the strength to ride with me across the territory and witness the prosperity of our great Wei Dynasty?"

Mu Qing was overjoyed when he heard this and said with a smile: "I have been waiting for this day for more than fifty years!"

After returning to the mansion, Mu Qing happily called his children and grandchildren, relayed the wishes of Wei Emperor Zhao Run, and asked his children and grandchildren to prepare everything they needed for the trip.

Unexpectedly, Mu Qing passed away that night because he was so emotional.

The next day, his son Mu Yu came to the palace to report the bad news. Wei Emperor Zhao Run was stunned for a long time and sighed.

A month later, Wei Emperor Zhao Run invited Zuo Prime Minister Jie Zigui to the palace to discuss with him the succession of the throne.

Since Prince Zhao Wei has been the crown prince for forty years and has more than ten years of experience in supervising the country, even if Zhao Run passes the throne to Zhao Wei, it will not have any impact on the Wei State.

In contrast, the problem lies in the attitude of Prince Zhao Wei.

According to the records of the Shang Palace Bureau, one day the Emperor of Wei summoned the prince to the palace and talked about passing on the throne, but the prince showed little interest.

When asked about the reason, the prince replied: "My father's great achievements have been unparalleled throughout the ages, and there will be no successors. When my son succeeds to the throne, he thinks that he cannot imitate his father. How can he be interested?"

When the Emperor of Wei heard this, he angrily scolded the prince: "You are the king of human beings, and you are serving the people of the country. How can you satisfy your selfish desires?!"
