Chapter 1019: Emperor Wu of Han's Mistakes
The same was true for the people of other dynasties, except perhaps the Qing Dynasty, because the Western countries that the Qing Dynasty faced had already developed long ago, while the Qing Dynasty lagged behind them by hundreds of years.
In addition, they were unwilling to change and were afraid that the Han people would take back the throne, so they suppressed the Han people in various ways.

"My dear little immortal, now that I have your reminder, this time, I will attack the wealthy places first. With weapons like gunpowder, it will be easy to attack those small countries," Emperor Wu of Han said this, and he couldn't stop being excited.
After gunpowder was developed, they used it to experiment with blasting mountains.
At that time, there was a loud bang and the mountain was blown up. It was so spectacular. He had already imagined how powerful it would be to use this thing to attack other countries. Just blowing up the city gate would make them tremble in fear, and they would have no choice but to open the city gate and surrender.
Fortunately, fortunately, the little immortal supports China. Otherwise, if other countries obtain such powerful weapons, no matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to defeat them.
Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Taizu of Ming also nodded, as gunpowder had already existed during the reign of Emperor Taizu of Ming.
He naturally knew the power of gunpowder. Today, their gunpowder is even more powerful. People in later generations are truly amazing, using gunpowder in such and such a way.
"That's true. With gunpowder, it would be easy to conquer those Western countries, and not so many people would die." As for the deaths in other countries, what does that have to do with their own country?
As for not wanting to fight, Li Wu didn't care. She didn't want to fight, but if she was too weak, she would be bullied.
Moreover, those Western countries had bullied them so much before, so Li Wu naturally wanted her ancestors to take revenge.
Especially during the good times, hehe, all dynasties were destroyed.
Several people nodded and thanked Li Wu repeatedly.
"Forget it, three seniors." She had already expressed her gratitude, what else could she say?
"Let me continue to talk about your mistakes, Emperor Wu of Han," Li Wu took a sip of water and continued, "After the national treasury accumulated during the reigns of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing was exhausted, Emperor Wu of Han exploited the people's wealth through the sale of salt and iron, and the sale of official positions, resulting in the bankruptcy of wealthy merchants and the loss of the homes of the middle class.
Emperor Wu of Han also implemented harsh laws and cruel officials.
Cruel officials were rampant, and Zhang Tang, Du Zhou and others implemented the "law of slandering in the heart" and used the "law of sinking lives" to severely punish grassroots officials, creating a large number of unjust imprisonments.
The collective punishment was expanded, and in 119 BC, the "Death Order for Counterfeiters" executed hundreds of thousands of people within a year.
So many people were executed in one year, Emperor Wu of Han," Li Wu shook his head. This collective punishment was really terrible. If one's relatives made a mistake, they would definitely be implicated.
Emperor Wu of Han touched his nose and said nothing. He would change it, he would change it all. It was true that too many people were executed. He didn't even know if more than ten people were born in the Han Dynasty in a year.
The ancestors in front of the sky curtain were also talking about this, and several emperors before Emperor Wu of Han all talked about Emperor Wu of Han in the barrage.
Emperor Jing of Han looked at little Liu Che and pinched his face hard. He didn't let go until little Liu Che's eyes were filled with tears.
He said a lot of things to the little Liu Che, which were nothing more than asking him to be a good emperor in the future, not to kill so many people, not to cause any more witchcraft disasters, not to empty the national treasury, etc. Finally, looking at the ignorant little Liu Che, he sighed deeply. What's the point of saying all this to him now? He won't understand at all and will forget it after hearing it.

"And there's the witchcraft incident that I've mentioned countless times.
Because of the tragedy caused by your superstition, Emperor Wu of Han, the Queen, the Crown Prince and tens of thousands of others died, and the foundation of the country was shaken.
Superstitious about alchemy and the pursuit of immortality, Emperor Wu of Han spent huge amounts of money on six large-scale Fengshan ceremonies. In 6 BC, 110 cavalrymen were mobilized to patrol the border for a demonstration during the Fengshan ceremony.
In fact, it is really unnecessary. And Emperor Wu of Han, have you ever regretted your Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai?"
Li Wu looked at Emperor Wu of Han with a smile, and as expected, Emperor Wu of Han's expression changed, and he looked disgusted.
The good Mount Tai was defiled, and the emperors were downgraded as well. It was all the fault of Emperor Zhenzong of Song. How could he be so shameless? Who was worthy of going to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth?
He doesn't even look at what he has done. How can he have the nerve to do that?
Emperor Wu of Han had many obscene things he wanted to say, but he didn't say them. It was not nice to swear in front of the little immortal, and it was even worse to say it in front of the sky curtain, with so many people watching.
You can tell how angry Emperor Wu of Han was from his eyes.
Several other emperors who were offering sacrifices to the gods on Mount Tai in front of the sky curtain were once again shocked, and they all cursed Song Zhenzong harshly.
Emperor Zhenzong of Song trembled with fear, not daring to look at the comments, let alone refute. What was wrong with him offering sacrifices to the gods on Mount Tai? He felt that he had done a pretty good job. Why were they scolding him?
Song Zhenzong could only complain in his heart.
The other emperors, ministers, and people of the Song Dynasty felt extremely ashamed, and that the Song Dynasty was embarrassing itself again.
We are going to be laughed at by other dynasties again. It’s not over, it’s not over. Just get used to it. Just get used to it. This is not the first time that the Song Dynasty has been so embarrassed.

"Little Immortal, can we not talk about this?" Emperor Wu of Han had an expression that was hard to describe. Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Taizu of Ming tried hard to hold back their laughter, fearing that they would laugh too loudly, which would be bad.
Emperor Wu of Han glanced at Emperor Taizu of Ming again and was very unhappy. Don't think he couldn't see that Emperor Taizu of Ming was trying to hold back his laughter. Humph, be careful not to hold it to death.
"Success..." Then let's not talk about it. Also, Emperor Wu of Han favored alchemists. Li Shaojun, Luan Da and others were granted the title of marquis, and they spent millions to find elixirs.
You also sought an official position in Jianzhang Palace, built a 50-zhang-high Shenming Terrace and a Jinggan Tower, set up dew-receiving plates to collect "immortal dew", and increased corvee labor.
Look at what you have done. The most important thing is that I did not expect that you, Emperor Wu of Han, were superstitious about alchemists and gave them too much power. You even married Princess Wei Chang to the alchemist Luan Da. Later, the alchemist was exposed and was executed by you, Emperor Wu of Han. Princess Wei Chang became a widow again and became a victim of you, Emperor Wu of Han.
You are pursuing that illusory immortality," Li Wu sighed. Many people died. Emperor Wu of Han was really too confused in his later years. Not only Emperor Wu of Han, but many emperors, many.
Emperor Wu of Han looked at the little immortal and knew that he was standing up for his daughter. He was indeed confused in his later years. How could a liar be worthy of his daughter?
Although Princess Wei Chang is a daughter, she is his first child, so he naturally loves her.
Princess Wei Chang in front of the sky curtain did not look very good either. Her father was old and really confused.
Wei Zifu's face changed again and again, but she didn't say anything in the end. She was waiting, waiting for Liu Che to come back. She knew that Liu Che was feeling the most guilty now, and as for things that had not happened yet, she would not let them happen again.
If you want to grab something, grab what is in front of you and what is now.
Some of our superstitious ancestors who pursued immortality did not want to stand out, and they did a lot of foolish things in their pursuit of immortality.
Qin Shi Huang's face turned even darker because he was also included!
