Creative background:

This sentence was said by Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty after he entered Beijing to consolidate the throne.

Only six people, including Chang Song and Zhang Wu, entered Beijing. After he ascended the throne, he made up his mind to integrate the imperial power system as soon as possible in order to restore and strengthen the operational capacity of the state power. ?

Because the throne was not easy to come by, Emperor Wendi first appointed his confidant and Zhang Wu as the general Wei and the doctor, who was responsible for guarding the palace and the capital, thus fundamentally ensuring his personal safety.

Then, for the heroes who made him emperor, they were rewarded and knighted one by one, and for Liu Wang who was reprimanded by Lv Hou, they also got titles and fiefs. At the same time, the heroes who followed their father Liu Bang's founding were also rewarded and enfeoffed respectively. These measures consolidated Wendi's throne? .

In addition to wooing and consolidating power, cracking down on important officials is also an important measure of Emperor Wen. This aspect mainly involves Zhou Bo, a great hero. Because of his contribution to Emperor Wen, Zhou Bo always looks arrogant every time he goes out to the DPRK, and he doesn't seem to take the new emperor seriously. Wendi was polite to him and often watched him leave.

Some ministers persuaded Wendi Deng that taking Zhou Bo so seriously was detrimental to the dignity of the monarch. Since then, Deng Wendi's expression has become more and more serious, and Zhou Bo has become more and more awed. Zhou Bo's subordinates reminded him in time: be careful not to build too high a reputation and get burned. The frequency was like an awakening, and he suddenly woke up. So he resigned from the right prime minister (right was the most important thing in the Han Dynasty, and Chen Ping was the left prime minister at that time, equivalent to the deputy), and Wendi quickly agreed.
