Volume 12 Han Ji IV (3)

Empress Lu wanted to summon Han Xin, but I was afraid that he would not come, so she made a plan with Prime Minister Xiao He, assuming that someone had come back from the emperor, and that Chen Feng was dead, and the ministers had come to congratulate him. Xiangguo said to Han Xin: "Although I am sick today, I must go forward." ”

Han Xin entered the palace, and Empress Lu made the samurai tie Han Xin and beheaded him in the Changle Bell Room. Han Xin was about to be executed, and sighed and said: "I really regret not using Kuaiche's plan, but now I am deceived by the little woman, isn't this the will of heaven?" "Then annihilate Han Xin's three clans.

Sima Guang commented: "The world thinks that Han Xin was the first to build a great strategy, and Gaozu started Hanzhong together, set the three Qin, and then divided the troops to the north, captured Wei instead, and served Zhao Weiyan, attacked Qi in the east and had its place, and destroyed Chu in the south. The reason why Han was able to win the world was mostly due to Han Xin's contributions. Seeing that he rejected Kui Che's suggestion and welcomed Gaozu Yu Chen's move, how could he have any objection? It's just that because of dereliction of duty, he fell into rebellion. With the old grace of Lu Wanli, he can still be king in the south. Han Xin can only be invited by the court, isn't Gaozu also defeated Han Xin? The minister thought that Gaozu used deceit to capture Han Xin and Chen, saying that he was defeated by Han Xin, but even so, Han Xin was also self-inflicted. At the beginning, Han and Chu were separated from each other in Xingyang, Han Xin destroyed Qi and did not return to the king, and then Han chased Chu to Guling, and Han Xin made an appointment to attack Chu together, but Han Xin did not come. At that time, Gaozu had the heart to go to Han Xin, but he couldn't do it. And the world has been decided, what else can Han Xin rely on? Taking advantage of the time is the ambition of the market. Repaying merit and repaying virtue is the heart of a gentleman. Isn't it too unwise for Han Xin to benefit himself with the ambition of the market, but to hope for others with the heart of a gentleman? Therefore, Tai Shi Gong commented that if Han Xin learned to be humble, he would not make his own contributions. If you don't keep your ability, the merits of the Han family can be compared to the disciples of Zhou Zhao Taigong and benefit future generations. Unexpectedly, when the world was decided, he plotted rebellion and destroyed the clan, didn't he deserve it?

General Chai Wu beheaded Han * Yu Shenhe.

The emperor returned to Luoyang and heard the death of the Marquis of Huaiyin. Although I was very happy, I felt a little pity for him in my heart. Asked Lu Hou, "What did Han Xin say when he was dying?" “

Lu Hou said: "I regret not using Kuaicher's strategy to rebel." So he issued an edict to arrest Kui Che.

When Kui Che brought it, the emperor asked, "Why did you teach the Marquis of Huaiyin to rebel?" “

"Yes," said Chercher, "I taught him. It's a pity that the vertical doesn't use my strategy. So that if you use the strategy of the minister, how can Your Majesty have a chance to destroy him. “

The emperor was furious and said, "Cook him." “

Archer said: "It is unjust for the minister to be cooked and killed. “

The emperor said: "You taught Han Xin to rebel, what other grievances are there?" “

Kui Che said: "Qin lost his deer, and the world chased him." Those who are high-quality and sick have the ambition first. The dog barking Yao is not unkind, the dog barks at him because he is not his master. At that time, the minister only knew Han Xin but did not know His Majesty, besides, there were many people in the world who wanted to achieve the cause of His Majesty, but they didn't do it because of their lack of strength, how could His Majesty be able to kill them all? “

The emperor said, "Let him go." “

Liu Heng is the acting king. , all Jinyang. Amnesty to the world.

When the emperor was conscripting Chen Xuan, he had recruited troops from King Liang. King Liang said that he was ill, so his generals led his troops to Handan. The emperor was angry and made people rebuke King Liang. King Liang is afraid that he will go to apologize in person. His generals said: "The king did not go at first, but when he saw the emperor's order, he went, and he went to be a fowl." It's better to send troops to rebel,"

King Liang didn't listen.

At this time, the servant of Liang was offended, fled to the Han capital, and sued the king of Liang and Hu to rebel. So the emperor sent an envoy to cover the king of Liang. King Liang was unaware of it and was imprisoned in Luoyang. There is a case of treatment, and it is said that the reverse form has been formed. Request to press *. The emperor pardoned him as a concubine. Place him in Tsing Yi Road in Shu. To the west to Zheng, when he met Empress Lu from Chang'an, King Peng wept in front of Empress Lu and said that he was not guilty. I would like to return to my hometown, Changyi. Empress Lu promised to go east to Luoyang with him. Empress Lu said to the emperor: "King Peng is a strong man, and he moved him to Shu, which is to leave trouble for himself." It's better to kill him. Therefore, I tricked him into returning to Beijing with me. “

So Empress Lu ordered his people to sue Peng Yue for rebellion again, and Wang Tian, the court captain, asked the clan to destroy him. The emperor will play. In March, the three tribes of Yi Peng and Yue. Xiao Peng crossed the head, placed him under Luoyang City, and issued an edict to arrest anyone who dared to watch it.

Liang Guo's doctor Lebu sent Qi Guo back and played under Peng Yue's head. Then pay homage to him. The officials arrested him and reported it to the emperor. The emperor summoned Lebu to scold and was about to cook him. Hot soup is ready. Le Bu looked back and said: 'The minister is willing to say a word before he dies.' ”

The emperor said, "What words? ”

Lebu said: "At the beginning, His Majesty was trapped in Pengcheng and defeated between Xingyang and Chenggao, but King Xiang could not go west because King Peng was in Liangdi and the King of Han and Congyi were trapped in Chu. At that time, if the king of Liang turned against Chu, then Han Po. With the Han Dynasty, it will be broken. And in the meeting, without King Peng, the Xiang clan would not perish. Today's decision has been made, King Peng has been sealed, and he also wants to pass it on to eternity. As soon as His Majesty conscripted troops into King Peng, and King Peng was unable to do it due to illness, His Majesty suspected that he was going to rebel, and before he had a rebellion, he killed him with a petty case. Now that King Peng is dead, it is better to live than to die, please cook. ”

So the emperor pardoned Lebu's sins and worshiped him as the captain. On the afternoon of Bingwu, the prince Liu Hui was established as the king of Liang.

Bingyin, the prince Liu You, was appointed as the king of Huaiyang. Cancel Dongjun and increase the fief of King Liang. Cancel Yingchuan County and increase the fief of King Huaiyang.
