"History of Emperor Guangwu of the Later Han Dynasty": "Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty looks at the DPRK every day, but the day is lost. Counting officials, ministers and generals to talk about managers is simply sleepless at night. When the Crown Prince saw that the emperor was industrious and tireless, he accepted the idle advice and said,' Your majesty has the wisdom of Yutang, but he has lost the blessing of Huang Lao's cultivation. His first concern was the spirit of love and he enjoyed it. The emperor said,' I am happy here, not tired.' "

Story background

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Red Eyebrow Uprising in Qinglin broke out, and Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, also participated. After Liu Xiu joined the outlaw hero, he soon showed his keen political talent and rich military strategy. Especially in Kunyang World War I, Liu Xiu's excellent command played a key role in winning the decisive battle for the insurgents. At that time, Kunyang City was surrounded by Wang Mang's army. There are only eight or nine thousand Han troops stationed in Kunyang. Although Kunyang City is small, it is quite strong. The Han army in Kunyang was also well defended, and the city was never breached by Wang Mang's army. Liu Xiu rushed out of the south gate of Kunyang City with twelve warriors in the dark. When he arrived at Dingling, he said to the general of the Han army, "Now we will go to Kunyang and gather all the men and horses. Only by defeating the enemy can we achieve great things and make great contributions. " So the generals followed Liu Xiu to Kunyang with all their troops. Wang Feng and Wang Chang, the Han army in Kunyang City, immediately opened the gate and rushed out when they saw the arrival of reinforcements outside the city. Under the attack of the Han army on both sides, follwed's troops all panicked, fled everywhere and trampled on each other. When Wang Yi, the general of Wang Mang, fled back to Luoyang, there were only a few thousand people left in the 430,000-strong army. After the outlaw captured Chang 'an, Liu Xiuling left Chang 'an, and in Hebei (north of the Yellow River), with the slogan of reviving the Han Dynasty, he constantly expanded his power. Every time Liu Xiu went to a county, he announced the abolition of heavy taxes and heavy punishments during the reign of Wang Mang, and inspected local officials to restore the official name of the Han Dynasty, which was welcomed and supported by local officials and ordinary people and gradually formed the basic force for establishing political power. In a few years, Wang Mang's regime was overthrown by the insurgents. After the overthrow of the Xin Mang regime, the whole country quickly fell into a state of melee. Two insurgent armies, Greenwood and Chi Mei, established their own emperors and fought against each other, but Liu Xiu took the opportunity to expand his power. Later, Liu Xiu adopted the method of combining military strike with political struggle, and successively recruited 300,000 bronze horse troops, which greatly enhanced his military strength and was called "Bronze Horse Emperor". In June of 25 AD, with the support of ministers, Liu Xiu proclaimed himself emperor, still adopting the title of Jianwu of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Xiu was Guangwu Emperor. Liu Xiu completed the great cause of reunification and restored the rule of the Han Dynasty. The establishment of the new dynasty is faced with the mess left by years of war, and many laws, decrees and rules need to be revised and redrafted. Liu Xiu devoted himself to the revitalization and construction of the Eastern Han Dynasty with abundant energy. He goes to the court as the director at dawn every day and leaves the court after sunset. He often called ministers and personally told them about the Analects of Confucius. In order to stabilize people's livelihood, Liu Xiu adopted the policy of "rest and recuperation" during his tenure. During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty, he wrote to restore the old system of thirty taxes and one tax, lent the public land to farmers for farming, and advocated reclaiming wasteland, developing wasteland, resettling refugees and helping the poor. In this way, the burden of feudal servitude in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty was greatly reduced compared with that in the late Western Han Dynasty and during the war. Farmers live and work in peace and contentment, and their production has been greatly restored. He also issued many orders, releasing handmaiden and forbidding the mistreatment of handmaiden. In addition, Liu Xiu also actively built water conservancy projects. In order to strengthen the centralized political system, Liu Xiu laid off more than 400 counties, streamlined officials and abolished local military commanders. During the reign of Emperor Guangwu, agriculture and handicrafts in the Eastern Han Dynasty developed greatly. The improvement of iron farm tools, the popularization of Niu Geng and the extensive construction of water conservancy projects have greatly improved the production technology; The improvement of iron smelting technology has greatly increased the output of iron; Exquisite bronzes, lacquerware and silk fabrics reflect superb craftsmanship; The business of copper capital Dayi is booming, and the footprints of businessmen are as far away as the western regions and abroad. After decades of operation, the Eastern Han Dynasty witnessed a scene of economic prosperity, which was called "Guangxu Zhongxing" in history. Liu Xiu's efforts touched the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and his son. Once, the crown prince was afraid of affecting his father's health, so he advised, "Your majesty has the wisdom of Yutang, but he has lost the blessing of health care in his later years. He is willing to keep his spirit and enjoy himself. " Your Majesty, you are as smart as Yu Xia and Shang Tang, but you are not as good at fitness as Huangdi and Laozi. We hope you pay attention to your health and take time to rest quietly. Liu Xiuxiao smiled and said; "So I'm happy and not tired!" According to this story, people derive the idiom "never tired of it" from Liu Xiu's words, describing being interested in something, indulging in it and being tireless.
