The envoy sent by Emperor Wu to find out whether the prince was rebelling reported false information at the instigation of Su Wen, saying that the prince had really rebelled; Emperor Wu was furious when he heard this, and immediately ordered Prime Minister Liu Quyak to send troops to arrest the prince, and issued an edict ordering the soldiers and horses in all counties near the capital to be under the command of the prime minister.

Liu Quyak received the order to immediately send troops to attack Changle Palace, and the crown prince Liu could not think of any other way according to the report; On the one hand, under the pretense of the emperor's order, the prisoners in the capital were pardoned and ordered them to fight with arms, and ordered Shi De and the guest Zhang Guang to lead the division of troops to meet the enemy.

Liu Ju also declared everywhere that the emperor was critically ill and traitorous ministers were in rebellion, and he wanted everyone to lead troops to rebel.

Both sides were in the name of the emperor, and the ministers didn't know whether it was true or not, and they didn't have a clue, and they didn't dare to act rashly, so they had to wait and see for the time being.

The crown prince fought with the prime minister's troops, and they fought for three days and three nights without seeing a victory; It wasn't until the fourth day that Emperor Wu came to Jianzhang Palace to figure it out, and it turned out to be the crown prince's edict.

The ministers and generals have helped the prime minister to crusade against the prince, and even the people in the market have also rumored that the prince rebelled.

The prince's situation became more and more critical, and he hurriedly ran to Ren An, the envoy of the army, to give him Chijie; Ordered him to send troops.

Ren An was usually very good friends with the prince, and it was difficult to excuse himself in person, so he accepted the Red Festival, but ran to the army and never saw him again.

The prince had no choice, so he let the people in the capital fight as soldiers, fought for two nights, and finally was defeated, and Shi De and Zhang Guang were also killed.

The prince fled to the city gate with his two sons, the city gate had already been closed, and when he saw that the prince was on duty with his two sons, he was in a pitiful state and could not bear to arrest him, so he let him out.

Prime Minister Liu Quyak chased to the edge of the city and found out that Tian Ren let go of the prince, and immediately beheaded Tian Ren.

Yushi Violent Victory stopped him and said: "Tian Ren is an official of 2,000 stones, and he cannot be beheaded without authorization, and he should be disposed of by Emperor Wu of Ming." ”

When Emperor Wu heard that the crown prince had fled, he was furious; not only killed Tian Ren, but also tracked down why the violent victory favored Tian Ren, so scared that he committed suicide, and even Ren An, the envoy of the escort army who did not send troops but received the festival privately, was also arrested, imprisoned, and beheaded in half.

Emperor Wu received the seal of Empress Wei Zifu again, and Empress Wei cried and hanged herself; All the Wei family were killed, including the prince's concubines, all of whom committed suicide, and the officials of the East Palace who accompanied the prince's rebellion were also executed.

After Emperor Wu killed so many people, he was still angry and issued an edict to arrest the prince, but the ministers did not dare to admonish him.

Only the third elder of Huguan wrote: "Jiang Chong is just a cloth cloth, and His Majesty has appointed him as a loyal man; As a result, Jiang Chong persecuted the prince everywhere under the pretense of the emperor's will. Jiang Chong was cunning and hypocritical, and he was very good at covering up, so that the prince could not see the emperor when he entered, and he was troubled by the rebellious ministers when he retreated. In the past, Jiang Chong slandered and killed Prince Zhao, and the world knew about it, but now he wants to slander the prince, the prince has no injustice, and he is in danger, so he has no choice but to kill Jiang Chong, just to protect himself, and has no evil intentions. ”

Emperor Wu read this piece and was somewhat repentant, but he had not yet made up his mind to pardon the prince.

The prince fled to Huxian and hid in a spring, where the people kept the prince, but his family was too poor to provide for him.

The prince wrote to a friend from a well-to-do family in Huxian County, hoping that the friend could help, but the news leaked out because of this.

The magistrate went to arrest him, surrounded the spring and dove, and when the prince saw that he was desperate, he hanged himself. The two sons of the crown prince resisted along with the Izumi Hatori people, but they were also killed.

At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty may not want to kill the crown prince; But in the end, the crown prince and the imperial grandson were killed, and Emperor Wu could only do it himself; He could no longer regret it, so he had to reward the captor of the crown prince as promised.

The crown prince Liu Ju, his mother Wei Zifu and two imperial grandsons have all died, and Emperor Wu seems to have woken up; Send someone to investigate the matter of Jiang Chong and others digging up puppets.

Soon it was found out that it was completely Jiang Chong, Su Wen and others who deceived and catered to the emperor; Emperor Wu was furious and ordered Jiang Chong's entire family to be destroyed.

After the death of the crown prince, the sons of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conspired to establish a substitute, and this disaster disappeared, and the other disaster arose.

It's really like a bubble in life, and wealth is like a dream. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty hoped to prolong his life and become an immortal, which is not grotesque, but ordinary people have this hope, and it is just hope; If it is an emperor, the situation is very different, unlimited desire and unlimited power will give birth to infinite evil.

The longer Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lived in his old age, the more he was afraid of death; The more you have built up your deeds, the more you want to possess everything, and even want to become a Buddha and become an immortal, and live forever.

Qin Mugong is like this, Qin Shi Huang is like this, and Emperor Wu of Han is even better.

As for the other emperors in history, although they are not as crazy as they are; But there are many people who favor Fangshi and swallow pills!

The greed of human nature is terrible, and it is not enough to be the emperor of the world and still want to ascend to immortality; Even if he can really become an immortal Buddha, he will not be enough.

As the saying goes, desire is insatiable, and greed is like no restriction of power; I'm afraid it will devour the whole of humanity.

However, there is a reliable side to the development of history; Although the imperial power is unlimited, once abused; It is also often set on fire, which has been proven countless times in Chinese history.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was confused in his later years, and the crux of his crux was that he favored Fangshi, believed in witchcraft, and was also stubborn and self-serving, violent and wanton.

If the root cause is investigated, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a confused and violent personality in his later years; It is mainly caused by the upset caused by immortality; Greed is the root cause of trouble.

The families of the crown prince Liu Ju, the empress Wei Zifu, the prime minister Liu Quyu, and the second division general Li Guangli, these were the most trusted people by the emperor in the past; All because of the "witch Gu incident" fabricated by Jiang Chong and the reason for the establishment of the crown prince, he died tragically under the butcher's knife of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally appointed his 8-year-old youngest son Liu Fuling as his successor, assisted by Huo Guang, the minister of Gu Ming; However, Liu Fuling's mother, Mrs. Gou Yi, was killed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was worried that Mrs. Gou Yi would interfere in the government affairs.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is really worthy of the iron-fisted emperor, but after his death, he undoubtedly attracted a lot of scolding; As for why Jiang Chong wanted to harm Wei Zifu and the crown prince Liu Ju, this is this little gangster who figured out the "immortality" mood of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty; In order to protect their own safety, a monstrous wave was set off.

In terms of character, Jiang Chong is completely a scumbag, he is not a weed that "can't be burned by wildfire"; It's a poisonous flower in the greenhouse, and I can't stand the grievances and coldness for half a day; Once you feel that the situation is not good for you, you have to sharpen your knife.

Jiang Chong's sharpening knife Huo Huo naturally wanted to borrow the power of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had to rely on traitors like Jiang Chong to support him in order to "live forever"; The two are in unison, can the world be peaceful?

Jiang Chong believes that if he doesn't kill the prince today, Emperor Wu will die in a hundred years; Therefore, Jiang Chong's persecution of the prince is essentially a manifestation of inner weakness.

Moreover, at that time, the prince and Emperor Wu had political disagreements, the relationship between father and son was already in jeopardy, and Wei Zifu was also old and out of favor; It was very easy for Jiang Chong to persecute the crown prince......

Liu Min chattered endlessly about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killing the crown prince Liu Ju, taking away Wei Zifu's queen seal and forcing him to commit suicide; The cruel fact that tens of thousands of people died in a "witch Gu incident" is not without emotion: "Whether Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a tyrant or a Ming monarch has been commented on for thousands of years; However, after Emperor Taizu established the Great Song Dynasty, he treated the Later Zhou royal family and the ministers of the previous dynasty favorably; This is really rare among the emperors of all dynasties! ”

Zhao Yuanzuo saw that Liu Min really learned five cars and was full of economy; couldn't help but say: "Little sister, you are not wrong, Emperor Taizu is a generation of Ming Jun!" ”

Zhao Yuanzuo said, and listed several good deeds of the emperor.

When the great grandfather was in the yellow robe, he ordered his subordinates, and the queen mother and emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty were once my kings; It is strictly forbidden for subordinates to be alarmed.

After ascending the throne and becoming emperor, "Emperor Gong and Empress Fu were in the West Palace, Emperor Yi was called King Zheng, and Empress Fu was the Empress Dowager of Zhou."

Grandpa Tai's favor and protection for the royal family of the Later Zhou Dynasty were engraved in the stone tablet instructions known only to the rulers of the Song Dynasty: "The descendants of the Chai family shall not be punished for their crimes, and if they commit rebellion, they shall be given all in prison, and they shall not be poked by Cao Xing in the city, nor shall they be allowed to sit on their subordinates."

Song Taizu also gave preferential treatment to the ministers left behind in the Later Zhou, and most of the civil and military officials continued to use it; The candidates for prime minister have not changed, and they are still the three former ministers of Fan Zhen, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu.

As for the officials of the southern secession regime, Song Taizu did not kill them all; Rather, what can be retained is retained.

For example, after Pinghu South, "civil and military officials are still gracious, and those who have made meritorious contributions are superior to their ranks."

After Pingshu, "the pseudo-civil military attache will be appointed to the school and the one who comes to surrender." ”

The clans attached to these small courts not only did not commit crimes, but they were also able to rank in the court.

After Meng Chang surrendered, not only was he given the high position of the Duke of Qin, but his eldest son was also appointed as the envoy of Taining, and several younger brothers were all generals. After the Southern Tang Dynasty was extinguished, Li Yu's children were all awarded the title of General of Zhuwei.

Grandpa's compassion for the people is even more subtle.

At the celebration meeting after the Song army destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, the ministers congratulated; Taizu cried and said: "Yuxian is divided, the people suffer from it, Sibu Sheng teaches to raise it, and there will be people with blades when attacking the city, which is really sad!" ”

It doesn't really matter whether this statement is sincere or a show, what matters is the attitude that the founding ruler is expressing.

After the great grandfather pacified the princes in various places, most of the measures implemented in the territory of the former small country to benefit the people were to remove the previous taxes and pardon prisoners; On the one hand, it strengthens the centripetal force and makes people realize the advantages of the new regime compared with the previous separatist regime, and on the other hand, it also conserves the people's power well.

Grandpa Tai is well versed in the way of cultivating people's power, and does not spoil the overall situation of agricultural production for the sake of some small gains.

The ruler of the Southern Han Dynasty collected 3,000 people to form the "Meichuan Capital" to go to the sea to dive pearls, and many people drowned in the sea.

Five generations of rulers recruited border people to steal the enemy's horses to make up for military horses, and after the great grandfather ascended the throne, "to protect the territory and the people, not to cause trouble in foreign lands; Even if the order is to return the horse stolen before, it is still forbidden to do so, and it is not allowed to be stolen. ”

If the horse theft is forbidden, there will be less border provocations, and the people at the border will be able to rest in peace.

The great grandfather cut off small profits such as pearl diving and horse stealing, in exchange for the stability and "business" of the people.

Loving others sparingly, so that the people may have time. The people must not be exhausted, otherwise production will be destroyed.

Grandpa Tai's idea of cultivating people's power was also reflected in the use of troops: Li Yun, who had just pacified Ze and Lu, wanted to cut down his neighbor Northern Han.

His Majesty said: "Ze, Lu sores have not been cured, and the army is recommended, I am afraid that I will not be able to die." It is better to educate the people with soldiers, and then plan to be rich. ”。

After hearing this, the grandfather felt that it was very reasonable, so he did not let Shanxi, which had just experienced the war, be subjected to military revolution again; Instead, he used the army to use the land.

In the last year of his grandfather's life, his plan to move the capital also included the consideration of conserving people's power......
