Yongping Fenghe

He was once the carefree child Ayang of Changqiu Palace. He was born in Chuding in troubled times and grew up with the tenderness of the emperor and empress. When he was young, Chenghuan sat at the knees of his parents and immersed himself in poetry, books, etiquette, and his mind became clear and transparent. At the age of twelve, he saw through the long-standing disadvantages of living in the imperial court, which shocked the government and the public. At the age of fourteen, he was appointed to inherit the throne, and went to the East Palace to practice hard for ten years, losing his youthful innocence. He witnessed with his own eyes the benevolence of the late emperor in his lenient governance, and he also saw clearly the hidden dangers of lenient governance: arrogance of heroes, powerful mergers, clan undercurrents, and unresolved border troubles. In troubled times, it is appropriate to be lenient, and to govern the world, it is appropriate to be strict. The young prince has already understood the true meaning of governing the country. After ascending to the throne, he restrained his warmth, governed the court with iron laws, restrained officials, suppressed relatives, regulated the clan, and cut off the intertwined private evils in the court; he also protected the people with benevolence, stabilized people's livelihood, regulated rivers, and consolidated borders. He appointed talented people to eradicate floods in the Yellow River and put an end to thousands of years of river troubles; he expedition to the north against border bandits, reset the Western Region Protectorate, and reopened the Thousand Miles of Silk Road; he revised the Chinese etiquette and music system to establish the Han family's etiquette standards; he tolerated foreign civilizations, initiated the White Horse translation of scriptures, and the spread of Buddhism eastward, and added inclusive confidence to Chinese civilization. Above the court, he is an upright and cold-faced king who does not show favoritism. In the deep palace, he respects his mother and is filial, and his husband and wife work together to maintain the warmth of the whole family. Everyone knows that he is harsh and kind, but they don't know that he spent half his life working hard just to turn the warmth of spring in a room in the young palace into the four seasons of peace for all people in the world. A life of strength and softness, a life of eternal peace and tranquility. He inherited the foundation of Guangwu and ushered in a prosperous era. He devoted his whole life to guarding the rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty and creating eternal peace in China.
