Chapter 4395 Chapter 4397 [Riding a crane to send the seal]
More than ten years later, Lu Pheasant passed away.
When she was alive, she did not remember Xiang Nan's instructions to be merciful and merciful.
Instead, once the power is in hand, orders will be carried out.
He granted various titles to Zhu Lu, suppressed Zhu Liu, and harmed all ministers, causing great resentment among the people in the court.
Therefore, after her death, Zhu Lu was executed by the princes of the Liu family and all the ministers in the court. Almost no one in the Lu clan was spared.
Later, the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty was deposed, and the court officials welcomed Liu Bang's fourth son, Liu Heng, to succeed him as the acting king. He became the famous Emperor Wen of Han in history books.
Emperor Wen of Han reigned for twenty-four years, and then passed the throne to his son Liu Qi, who became Emperor Jing of Han. The two emperors were relatively accomplished. They were tolerant and thrifty, and valued agriculture and the people. As a result, the national power of the Han Dynasty continued to increase.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the country was exhausted, the people were poor, and even the court had no money. Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty tried to find four horses of the same color to drive the shaft, but he couldn't find them.
But in the later years of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the national treasury was so full that the ropes used to string copper coins were rotten, and the grain depots were full to overflowing. The Han Dynasty's national power reached its peak.
After the death of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, and the national power of the Han Dynasty reached its peak, especially its military strength, which was among the best in all dynasties.
However, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he repeatedly raised troops to defeat the Xiongnu, conquer Lingnan, pacify the Western Qiang, and conquer the Western Regions... which also caused the people to be exhausted and the country was unable to bear the burden.
By the time Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in his later years, there were two million refugees in the Guandong area, and 400,000 people were not listed on their household registrations. The cities and warehouses were empty, many people were in exile, and there were even records of people eating each other.
After the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne one after another. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was Liu Bingji, and the TV series "Oolong Breaking the Love", which was very popular at that time, told his story, and of course it was mostly a joke.
During the reign of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, there was political clarity, social harmony, economic prosperity, and national strength recovery, which is known as the "Zhaoxuan Zhongxing" in history.
However, the subsequent Emperors Yuan, Cheng, and Ai of the Han Dynasty did not achieve much, and the national power and government of the Western Han Dynasty gradually declined, so that Wang Mang finally usurped the throne.
…
Time flies, and history strides forward.
Although Xiang Nan is experiencing history, others are not in history. He also paid no attention to these historical events.
For him, these events and characters, which are enough to leave a mark in history books, have nothing to do with him. He only cares about his own cultivation.
Over the years, he has absorbed the inner strength of hundreds of masters, with an average level of three or four per year. Each person has an average of fifty years of skill, which adds up to two hundred years of skill. Even if it is folded in half, it still has a hundred years of skill.
One hundred years of skill is absorbed every year, and if it is absorbed for more than two hundred years, one can imagine the depth of the skill. It can be said that Xiang Nan's current skill can definitely be called "shattering to the world".
With a wave of his hand, he can lift hundreds of tons of mountains, with a breath he can blow away an army of tens of thousands of people, and with one stamp of his feet, the walls of Chang'an City have collapsed...
It can be said that at this level of strength, Xiang Nan would not even admit that he is a god. He is simply too powerful. But Xiang Nan knew that this was just the beginning.
There are still two thousand years in the future, and he can still **** it slowly.
It is worth mentioning that during this period, fifteen emperors of the Western Han Dynasty, including Wang Mang who usurped the throne, came to Zhongnan Mountain to pay homage to Xiang Nan, hoping that he would show up.
After all, at the succession ceremony of Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, he received the imperial seal sent by Xiang Nan, and also received personal certification from Xiang Nan that he was the "son of the Red Emperor" and should become the emperor.
Because of this, Xiang Nan has been bound to the "imperial throne" and does not get his approval, as if the throne is not sitting upright. This is also like the "Taishan Fengzen" in ancient China. On the one hand, everyone wants to live forever, especially the emperor. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were all very keen on seeking immortality.
Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty summoned his great master Jia Yi and asked him about ghosts and gods, so he left a poem: "It's a pity that I have to sit down at the front table in the middle of the night and don't ask the common people about ghosts and gods."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was even more superstitious than Qin Shihuang. He sent people out to sea seven times to search for immortal mountains. He also built a dew tray in the palace, hoping that the immortals would give him immortal dew.
So they came several times, either by themselves or by sending people, hoping to see Xiang Nan, but the result was of course in vain.
Xiang Nan was too lazy to pay attention to them and didn't even look at them.
However, after Wang Mang usurped the throne, he took the Heshi Bi out of the palace again.
…
After Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, a popular uprising was triggered. The Red Eyebrow and Green Forest rebel armies overthrew the Western Han Dynasty. Liu Xiu, the ninth grandson of Liu Bang, finally won the throne and became Emperor Guangwu.
After Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu succeeded to the throne, Xiang Nan came again to deliver the seal on a crane and returned the Heshi Bi to Liu Xiu.
This move is once again shocking.
Because Xiang Nan appeared when Liu Bang ascended the throne, more than two hundred years have passed since then. He was never seen again, leading to speculation that he was probably dead.
But I didn't expect that not only was he still alive, but he was still so young, just like what was recorded in the ancient books. This was really an exaggeration.
Liu Xiu was an emperor who was literally fought out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of fire. He had gone through hundreds of battles, life and death, and originally did not believe in ghosts and gods.
But seeing Xiang Nan, who should have died of old age long ago, still so young, and actually riding a crane, I couldn't help but be a little shaken.
"Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, his virtue was not worthy of his place, and the artifact had spirit, so he escaped again." Xiang Nan said to Liu Xiu, "Now that the blood of the Red Emperor is in control of the country again, the artifact should be returned. I only hope that you will learn from the lessons of your predecessors, implement benevolent governance, and do good deeds." , take care of yourself.”
"I obey." Liu Xiu took the imperial seal and nodded in agreement.
Xiang Nan also rode away on a crane.
"Oh my God, there really are gods. They are not fake."
"It is said in ancient times that there are gods in Zhongnan Mountain, and it is true."
"This person has already appeared during the reign of Qin Shihuang. It has been two hundred years now. I didn't expect that he is still here!"
"More than two hundred years have passed, and this man's appearance remains the same as before. He has not aged at all. He is indeed an immortal among the immortals!"
For a time, all the civil and military officials in the dynasty were filled with admiration.
It was precisely because of this that Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu also sent people to pay a visit to Zhongnan Mountain.
After that, not only the princes and nobles came to pay their respects, but also the gentry, celebrities, wealthy businessmen and even ordinary people came to Zhongnan Mountain to burn incense and pray, hoping to worship the gods as their teachers.
Taoism that emerged during the Eastern Han Dynasty, such as Taiping Taoism and Tianshi Taoism, all respected Xiang Nan as a god, and his status was very high. They often held Dharma meetings for him, and even went to the mountains to offer incense, hoping that Xiang Nan could give him golden elixirs, immortal dew, and heavenly scripts. , making them so good that they become immortals.
Of course, it's basically all in vain. Xiang Nan doesn't care about their incense, gold, silver, jewelry, etc. He still practices his kung fu in the mountains, and occasionally goes down to absorb people's internal energy.
