The kings of Chu and Jing have indeed returned.

But the problem is that only the kings of Chu and Jing have returned.

The king of Chu was called Liu Jiao, and Liu Jiao was Liu Bang's youngest brother, that is, Liu Chang's uncle. But this uncle is indeed very remarkable, he is not like Liu Bang at all.

Liu Chang and they all like this polite uncle very much, Liu Jiao is elegant, elegant and elegant, handsome and heroic, with a long sword, giving people the first feeling that he is a peerless Confucian general. Liu Bang's sons seem to like this uncle more than their father.

Liu Jiao liked Confucianism, or rather, he respected learned people very much, he raised a large group of disciples, and many people with ulterior motives compared him with Wei Wuji, the son of the pre-Qin period, and thought that he was Wei Wuji of the Han Dynasty.

Well, Liu Jiao may really be Wei Wuji, but Liu Bang is not the King of Wei. In the face of this younger brother who is both civil and military, loved by others, and has raised a bunch of doormen, Liu Bang has no fear at all, and the two of them do not look like a music table on weekdays, but like a family letter.

Liu Jiao Shangsheng said that Chudi had a bumper harvest this year, and Liu Bang wrote back to tell him: I know, I ate too much last night, and my stomach hurts a little.

Liu Jiao played again and said that His Majesty should pay attention to his body and eat less. Liu Bang replied again: The imperial kitchen is so delicious, I will give you a taste when I come next time.

The relationship between the brothers is really good, Liu Bang seems to be ruthless, but he is very emotional, he is a very complicated and tangled person. He can laugh and ask the enemy to share his father's meat with him, and he can treat his father's concubine as his own biological mother, and make the emperor and the queen mother so fond of his half-brother.

The day after Liu Jiao returned to worship, he was surrounded by the Jews.

For this kind of uncle who is full of charm between gestures, a few guys are quite fond of it, Liu Ying likes to talk to him about learning, Liu Ruyi likes to talk to him about the situation in the world, Liu Heng will also ask for advice on the strategy of governing the country, and Liu Chang likes his uncle to tell him stories.

When Liu Chang was young, Liu Jiao always liked to tell him stories, he would make up some interesting things in history into stories suitable for children, and then tell them to Liu Chang, many big people, such as the four princes of the Warring States Period, many Ming Jun in the pre-Qin period, Liu Chang learned from his uncle.

As for King Jing, his name is Liu Jia, he is Liu Bang's distant cousin, and he can be regarded as Liu Chang's uncle, but Liu Jia is not so close to them, after all, he is different from Liu Jiao, and it is impossible to see Liu Bang's family at any time. And this man is short-tempered and doesn't like children very much.

He got the title of prince by virtue of his military exploits and his surname Liu, and he always kept a straight face on weekdays, which was flammable and explosive.

There are indeed a lot of Liu people who come to worship, this is also a big gathering of the Liu clan, in addition to these two kings, there is also the original acting king Liu Xi, he is now the Marquis of Heyang, in the seventh year of the Han Emperor, that is, three years ago, the Huns attacked the country, and Liu Xi, who was the acting king, ran away.

Liu Bang was furious and demoted him to Hou.

In addition to him, there is also Zhang Ao, the former king of Zhao, who is now the Marquis of Xuanping.

He is also a clan, the main reason is that he married Princess Lu Yuan, Princess Lu Yuan is Liu Chang's eldest sister, second only to Liu Fei in age, and is the sister of Liu Ying and others, and Zhang Ao is the "son-in-law" of Liu Bang's family, he inherited his father Zhang Er's title of King Zhao and became the prince of the Han Dynasty.

But soon, "It's reversed, it's reversed, the Liu family's son-in-law is reversed!" ”

Here's the thing, Liu Bang once went to the north to inspect, and after passing through Zhao State, Zhang Ao saw his father-in-law coming, so he must have taken off his coat and personally served food and drink from morning to night, with a humble attitude. But, Liu Bang, we all know what kind of virtue this guy is, he sat on the ground, like a dustpan, stretched out his two feet and scolded Zhang Ao.

In fact, Liu Bang does not look down on Zhang Ao, this is his consistent approach to those close to him, not to mention that Zhang Ao is still his son-in-law. But Zhang Ao's Guoguan Gao, Zhao Wu and others didn't think so, they were very angry, thinking that Liu Bang was disrespectful to Zhang Ao, and decided to get rid of Liu Bang and elect Zhang Ao as the emperor.

So, a year later, Liu Bang came back from Dongyuan, passing by Zhao State, Zhang Ao hurriedly presented a beauty to his father-in-law, and this beauty was fortunate to be pregnant. Because this beauty was already pregnant, Zhang Ao didn't dare to put her in the palace anymore, so he built a palace outside for this beauty to live.

And Zhang Ao's guests decided to intercept Liu Bang on the way, but Liu Bang was very careful and did not stay anywhere, but soon, someone told Liu Bang about it. Liu Bang was furious and directly arrested Zhang Ao and all his ministers in prison.

Empress Lu hurriedly pleaded, thinking that with Princess Lu Yuan here, it was impossible for Zhang Ao to rebel.

Liu Bang scolded her: "If Zhang Ao is allowed to occupy the world, will you still consider your daughter!" ”

Liu Bang began to interrogate Zhang Ao's disciples, but no matter how tortured they were, those people were dead, saying that Zhang Ao did not know about it, that the rebellion was planned by them, and more than a dozen people were ready to commit suicide. In the end, even Liu Bang felt that these people were very righteous, and pardoned Zhang Ao, and was ready to pardon those rebel leaders.

But after these people learned that Zhang Ao had been released, they committed suicide in prison.

Liu Bang exclaimed: It is really enviable to have such a guest.

Although Zhang Ao was released, the throne of Zhao could not be kept, and he was demoted to the Marquis of Xuanping.

Many people think that Liu Bang is a hero... However, Han Xin wanted to rebel, he didn't kill it, Zhang Ao's disciples rebelled, he didn't kill it, Liu Xi left the country and ran away, and he didn't kill it, the only one who was killed was Yan Wang Zang Di, after all, this goods personally led the troops to attack Liu Bang, and was killed after being defeated by Liu Bang.

There are also many people who say that Zang Tu rebelled because Liu Bang wantonly harmed Xiang Yu's old department, not to mention that they can't say which people Liu Bang harmed that caused Zang Tu to be so afraid, and even did not hesitate to rebel, even if this is the case, after ascending the throne, he can't say anything wrong with cleaning the original enemy's subordinates, after all, these enemy's old subordinates are princes, and they are princes with soldiers, food, and people.

There is something else worth mentioning.

Do you still remember that Zhang Ao dedicated to Liu Bang and then had a pregnant beauty? This beauty is called Zhao Ji, this name is very wrong, and after she became pregnant, she gave birth to a son, and that son was called Liu Chang.

After Zhang Ao's rebellion was revealed, Zhao Ji was also arrested in prison.

Zhao Ji said to the jailer in captivity: I have been favored by Your Majesty and am pregnant.

The jailer was taken aback and hurriedly reported the matter to his superiors, but Liu Bang was dealing with Zhang Ao's matter at the moment, so he ignored it. And Zhao Ji's younger brother Zhao Jian asked the Marquis of Piyang to judge him and tell Empress Lu about it, hoping that Empress Lu could save the lives of their mother and son.

When Empress Lu heard this, she was very angry, you go outside to inspect, and you have to get a little third and a little bastard for me??

So, Empress Lu scolded him and asked him not to care about such a trivial matter.

Zhao Ji gave birth to Liu Chang in prison, and because of the resentment in her heart, she committed suicide after giving birth to a child.

And when the jailer held the child and sent it to Liu Bang, Liu Bang regretted it and ordered Empress Lu to adopt him.

It stands to reason that Empress Lu should hate this child, but after raising him for a long time, Empress Lu gradually forgot his life experience and regarded him as her own biological child. In history, Empress Lu wanted to poison Liu Fei, poisoned the bold Liu Ruyi, killed the generous Liu Hui, killed the silent and inconspicuous Liu You, and even Liu Jian's son, who died early, was killed.

Liu Ying died of grief and anger because of her mother's series of behaviors, and those who did not suffer any blow from Empress Lu were only her favorite Liu Chang and Liu Heng, whom she didn't hate.

However, after Liu Chang grew up in history, he was still lawless, and finally tried to rebel, and was caught by Liu Heng, Liu Heng did not kill this stubborn younger brother, and wanted to send him to Shu, and some ministers persuaded him, saying that this younger brother was spoiled by you, and you treat him like this now, what if he can't stand it?

Liu Heng confidently told the minister, it's okay, let him experience a setback, let him come back, be a marquis or something, his character can't be changed if he doesn't change.

As a result, the extremely strong Liu Chang was extremely resentful in the prison car, because he was born with brute strength, and no one dared to approach his prison car, and he shouted: "How can you endure such depression when you live in the world?" ”

So, Liu Chang committed suicide on a hunger strike, and the guy who loved meat starved to death.

When Liu Heng heard this, he cried and put to death the officials who escorted his younger brother, he thought that these officials were irresponsible, how could they watch the prisoners starve to death? ?

Later, he crowned three of his sons kings.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, it was a tragedy, and the one who liked the younger brothers the most watched them being poisoned by their mothers, powerless, and died of depression and early death. The one who watched his younger brothers grow up, because he was shrouded in the fear of being poisoned, didn't last long. The one with great ambitions was forced to drink poisoned wine shortly after his father left.

The one who was generous and kind also ended the same way, and the one who saw the only one who cared about his brother being killed also died in pain. The bastard, the gluttonous, starved to death, and the youngest didn't have time to see the scenes.

In the end, there was only a lonely soul left, sitting alone in Weiyang Palace, and I don't know if he would occasionally think of the figures playing in Tianlu Pavilion, if he thought of it, would he cry for them?
