His Majesty Emperor Taizu Gao

In the winter of the eighth year, the emperor attacked Han*'s Yu Kou in Dongyuan. Pass by the Kashiwa people. Guan Gao and other people hid people in the toilet, ready to invite the emperor. The emperor was about to stay overnight, and suddenly his heart was moved, and he asked his attendant: "Where is this?" “

The attendant said, 'It is a cypress.' ”

The emperor said: "Bai people, forced by others." The place name is ominous. So he went away without sleeping.

In December, the emperor went to Dongyuan.

In spring and March, the emperor traveled like Luoyang. Merchants were ordered not to dress in fancy clothes, carry weapons with them, or ride horses.

Autumn September. From Luoyang to Chang'an. The kings of Huainan, Zhao, and Chu all followed.

The Xiongnu took the trouble to the north, and the emperor thought it was a big disaster. Ask Liu Jing. Liu Jing said: "The world is predetermined. The soldiers are tired. Martial arts are not allowed. Mao Dun killed his father and set up his mother, and he used his strength as his might. Nor can you persuade him with righteousness. but for a long time, he may make his children and grandchildren vassals. But I am afraid that Your Majesty will not do so. ”

The emperor asked: 'What is the way, tell me about it'?"

Liu Jing said: "If Your Majesty can marry the eldest princess to him as his wife, he will definitely become the Yan family." and if he gives birth to a son, he shall be a prince. His Majesty asked the legacy, the defender, and the courtesy. Mao Dun is here, and he is a son-in-law. If he dies, his grandson will be single. Has anyone heard that a grandson dares to fight against his uncle's family? You can gradually become a vassal without war. If His Majesty can't send the eldest princess and make the clan and the harem fraudulently call the princess, he knows that it is useless to refuse to get close. The emperor said, "Okay." "Prepare to send the eldest princess.

Empress Lü wept day and night and said, 'There is only the crown prince and this daughter, why did you abandon her to the Xiongnu?' "The emperor can't send it.

Winter of Nine Years. The emperor took the daughter of the family, pretended to be the eldest princess, and gave it to Shan Yu as his wife. Make Liu Jing go to the knot and make a personal appointment.

Sima Guang commented: Jianxin Hou said that he could not be benevolent and righteous, but he wanted to marry him, why did it contradict him? The grace of flesh and blood, the order of respect and inferiority, can only be known by the righteous and righteous. Why do you want to take this service? The emperors of the previous generation dealt with Yidi, and they were all obedient and virtuous, and rebellion was shocking. I haven't heard of anyone who can marry him. And Maudun saw his father as a beast and hunted him. How could he put Madame's father in his eyes? Jianxin Hou's technique is not enough to take, not to mention that Princess Lu Yuan is already Empress Zhao, how can she forcibly seize her will and make her go to the Xiongnu?

Liu Jing came back from the Xiongnu, because the above said that the Xiongnu Henan Baiyang Lou annoyed the king, and it was only 700 miles away from Chang'an, and he could ride lightly to Qinzhong in one day and one night. Qin Zhongxin broke the few people, and the land was fertile. It can be enriched by relocation from the interior. When the princes first rose, they were not Qi Zhutian, Chu Zhao, Qu Jing and other clans could not be prosperous. Although His Majesty has set the capital of Guanzhong, there are actually few people in Guanzhong. There are six powerful clans in the east, and once there is a change, Your Majesty will not be able to lie down. I hope that after His Majesty moves to the Six Kingdoms and the famous family of Haojie is in Guanzhong, there is nothing to prepare for Hu, and if the princes change, they can lead the eastern expedition. This is the art of the strong and the weak. “

The emperor said, "Very good. “

In November, the five clans of Zhao, Qu, Jing, Huai, Tian and Haojie of the Chu clan were moved to Guanzhong. Give them a convenient farmhouse. Where more than 100,000 mouths.

December. The emperor traveled to Luoyang. Guan Gao's enemies knew about Guan Gao's plan and sued him. So the emperor arrested King Zhao and all the rebels. Zhao Wu and more than a dozen others all rushed to commit suicide. Only Guan Gao scolded angrily: "Who told you to do this? Now King Zhao really did not participate in the scheme, and the emperor was arrested along with King Zhao. Everyone is dead, who will prove the innocence of King Zhao"

So he boarded the carriage and went to Chang'an Prison with King Zhao. Guan Gao said to the jailer: "It's just that our subordinates did this, and the king actually didn't know about it. “

The jailer slandered the law, flogging thousands, until the body was incomplete, and Guan Gao never changed his words. Empress Lu said many times that King Zhang should not participate in the conspiracy because of the princess. The emperor was angry and said, "If King Zhang wins the world, will you be a daughter." "Don't listen.

Tingwei sent Guan Gao's confession, and the emperor said: "What a strong man." Anyone who knows him can ask him privately. “

The middle doctor said: "The son of the neighbor of the country has fellowship with him, and knows that he is a man who keeps his promises and keeps righteousness. “

The emperor sent the prince to ask him. Gong Xuan and he asked each other about their hardships, and they talked with each other like a happy life, because they asked Zhang Wang privately if he really participated in the scheme?

Guan Gao said: "Who doesn't love their parents and wives? Now that my three clans have died, how can I love King Zhao more than my dearest? It's just because King Zhao really didn't participate, but all of us did it. How can I let King Zhao be wronged? ”

So he saw the emperor and reported the truth to the emperor.

In the first month of spring, the emperor pardoned Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao. Abolished as the Marquis of Xuanping. The king of Zhao Ruyi is the king of Zhao. The emperor was a virtuous person, so that the Duke said to him: "Now that King Zhang is out, I will also forgive your sins." ”

He rejoiced, saying, 'My king is not guilty?' He said, "Yes." The emperor admires the people under his feet, so he also pardons you,"

Guan Gao said: "I don't die because I want to prove that King Zhang is not opposed." Now the king has come out, and my task has been completed. It's not enough to die and hate. And if the ministers have the name of usurpation, what face do they have to serve the emperor again? Even if the emperor doesn't kill me, don't I feel ashamed? So he died of absolute prohibition.

Xun Yue commented: Guan Gaoshou is a thief who plots and kills the master. Although he can prove that he is the king, Xiaoliang does not rebel and does not atone for his public sins. The Spring and Autumn Period is righteous, and the sin is unforgivable.

Sima Guang said that Gaozu lost his ministers because of arrogance, and he was ruthless in his death. Guan Gao's heart was rebellious, and he rose because of the arrogance of Gaozu. It's the fault of Gaozu. But Zhang Ao's death is a sin for Guan Gao.

Before the edict was issued, the guilt and death have been pardoned.

In February, from Luoyang to.

At first, the emperor edicted that the guests of Zhao Guo and the ministers dared to obey King Zhang, and all the people were exterminated. Lang Zhongtian, Uncle Meng Shu and others all punished themselves as slaves of the Zhao Wang's family. And Zhang Ao was exempted, the emperor took Tian Shu Meng Shu and others as virtuous, summoned them to talk, and no one in the Han court could compare with their talents, and the emperor worshiped them as the county guards and the princes' ministers.

Summer and June. There is a solar eclipse.
