In summer and April, there are stars in the northwest.
The prince Liu Yue was appointed as the king of Guangchuan. Liu Ji is the king of Jiaodong.
Autumn and September are obscure. Solar eclipse.
At first, King Liang Xiao and his relatives had meritorious service and were given the banner of the Son of Heaven. From thousands of rides, the police enter and go. The filial piety king believes in the victory of the sheep, Gongsun Wei, and takes Gongsun Wei as a lieutenant. The two of them have many evil plans. I want to make King Liang the heir of Han. Prince Li was abolished, and the queen mother also wanted to take King Liang as his heir. once said to the emperor at the banquet: "Anche is a big driver, and King Liang is used as a send." ”
The emperor knelt on the seat and stepped forward and promised, "No." ”
After the wine, the emperor visited the ministers, and the ministers Yuan Ying and others said, "No. In the past, Song Xuangong did not set up a son but a younger brother, so that there was chaos and chaos for five generations. Small unbearable, harmful to righteousness. Therefore, the Spring and Autumn Period advocates a great residence. So the Queen Mother's proposal was shelved and never mentioned again. King Liang also wrote a letter to give a place to accommodate cars, went to Changle Palace, and made Liang Guoshi build a road to the queen mother. Yuan Ying and the others thought it was impossible. King Liang resented Yuan Ying and his ministers as a result. It was a conspiracy with Yang Sheng and Gongsun to assassinate Yuan Ying and more than ten other ministers, but the thieves failed to catch them. So the Son of Heaven speculated that he was the king of Liang. chased the thief, and it was really done by King Liang.
The emperor sent Uncle Tian and Lord Lu Ji to inquire about King Liang, and hunted down Yang Sheng and Gongsun Wei. The two hid in the palace of Queen Liang. The envoy came to Liang for more than ten generations, and asked Liang Guo's two thousand burdens were very urgent, Liang Xiangxuan Qiu Leopard, and the internal history of Han Anguo, and the whole country searched. There is no moon left.
When An Guo heard that the two were hiding in the palace, he went to see King Liang and cried and said, "The lord humiliates the minister and the minister is dead, and the king has no unscrupulous ministers because of this." Now the two of them can't, please resign and die. “
King Liang said, "Why is this so? “
An Guo burst into tears and said: "The king thinks about it himself, compared with you and the king of Linjiang, who is closer to the emperor?" ”
King Liang said: "I am not as good as the king of Linjiang." ”
An Guo said: "The king of Linjiang is the prince of the right elder, and if he says a word, he will be abolished as the king of Linjiang." And because he occupied a little palace wall, he was forced to commit suicide in the lieutenant's mansion. Why is that? To govern the world, we can't use private affairs to mess with the public. Now the king is listed among the princes, listening to the evil ministers, violating the ban, bending the law, and the son of heaven can't bear to punish the king because of the queen mother. The Queen Mother wept day and night, hoping that the king would be able to change himself. But the king never came to his senses. If one day the Queen Mother is in the palace, who else can the king count on? ”
Before An Guo finished speaking, King Liang was already in tears. Bai Xie Anguo said: "I now let the sheep win, and Gongsun screamed out." "Because they both committed suicide.
The emperor resented King Liang from then on.
King Liang was afraid and made Zou Yang enter Chang'an. Seeing the queen's brother* said: "Sister Changjun is fortunate to be in the emperor, and the harem is beyond reach." And Changjun's deeds are often unreasonable. If Yuan Ying's matter is investigated exhaustively, King Liang will be ambushed. The queen mother is so angry that she will gnash her teeth and look at your ministers. The thief is worried about his feet. ”
Changjun said, "Then what should I do?" ”
Zou Yang said: "If Changjun can think of speaking to the emperor, he will no longer pursue the matter of King Liang." The elder monarch will firmly tie himself to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will be grateful for your kindness, and it will enter the bone marrow. And your sister is fortunate to have two houses, so that your position will be solid in Jincheng. In ancient times, Shun's younger brother Xiang wanted to kill Shun, and Shun was established as the Son of Heaven and sealed him in a humble place. Benevolence deals with brotherly relationships, no hidden anger, no old grudges, just kindness. But later generations praised him for it. In this way, the Son of Heaven may be able to persuade the emperor to change his mind and no longer pursue this matter. ”
Changjun said, "No." ”
took the opportunity to enter the palace and talk to the emperor about this, and the emperor's anger eased slightly.
At that time, the Queen Mother was worried about King Liang, so she cried day and night and did not eat. The emperor was also troubled because of this.
At this time, Uncle Tian and the others returned according to the Liang matter, and returned to the Bachang stable, where they took fire and burned all the confessions obtained in Liang State. Came to see the emperor empty-handed.
The emperor said: "Is there a problem with the Liang State? ”
Uncle Tian replied, "There is a capital crime. ”
The emperor said, "What is the specific situation? “
Uncle Tian said: "The emperor should not ask about King Liang again. “
The emperor said, "Why? “
Uncle Tian said: "Today, the king of Liang is not ambushed, but the Han law cannot be enforced." If the king of Liang is subdued, the queen mother will not be able to eat sweetly. Restless seats. This will worry your majesty. “
The emperor thought so. Let Uncle Tian wait for the Queen Mother. and told the Queen Mother: "King Liang doesn't know about this, it was his evil ministers Yang Sheng, Gongsun Wei and others who did it." The two have been ambushed, and King Liang is unharmed. “
When the Queen Mother heard about it, she immediately sat up to eat, and her anger calmed down. King Liang asked to enter the court because of his letter. When he reached the pass, Mao Lan said that King Liang made him ride a cloth chariot, rode into the palace from the two, and hid in the garden of the eldest princess. The Han envoy greeted the king of Liang. King Liang has entered the que, and the accompanying chariots are outside. It's just that I don't know where King Liang is.
The Queen Mother cried and said, "The emperor really killed my son. “
The emperor was terrified. So the king of Liang took the axe and apologized to His Majesty. The Queen Mother and the Emperor were overjoyed. Relative to each other and crying. Reconciled as before. Recruit the servants of King Liang into Que. However, the emperor was even more alienated from King Liang. No more chariots with him. The emperor regarded Uncle Tian as a virtuous man and was promoted to Lu Xiang.
In the winter and November of the third year, the princes were dismissed.
In the summer of April, there was an earthquake. The weather is dry, and alcohol is forbidden.
In March, Ding Si, the prince Liu became the king of Qinghe.
Autumn and September, locust plague. There are stars in the northwest. Obscure. There is a solar eclipse.
At first, the emperor abolished the prince, and Zhou Yafu couldn't fight, so the emperor began to alienate him. And every time King Liang Xiao had a court meeting, he ruined him in front of the Queen Mother, and the Empress Dowager Dou said: "Brother Queen* can be established as a marquis,"
The emperor humbly said: "At the beginning, Nanpi. Zhang Wu, the first emperor is not a marquis. When a minister ascends the throne, how can he be crowned a marquis? Empress Dowager Dou said: "Life is based on its own time. When Dou Changjun was there, he was not allowed to die as a marquis. Later, his son Peng Zu was made a marquis, and I have always regretted it. The emperor quickly sealed * as a marquis. “
The emperor said, "Please let me make a decision after consulting with the prime minister." “
The emperor consulted with the prime minister. Zhou Yafu said: "Emperor Gao has an appointment, and he cannot be the king unless he is Liu." If you don't have merit, you can't do it. Although he is the queen's brother, he is useless. It should not be made a candidate. The emperor stopped silently. Later, Xu Lu, the king of the Huns, and six others surrendered, and the emperor wanted to persuade him. Prime Minister Zhou Yafu said: "These people turned their backs on His Majesty, and His Majesty made them marquis, so why should they be blamed as ministers and not observant of festivals?" The emperor said, "The prime minister's proposal is not available." "He made each of the six princes princes. Yafu was sick with a lot. In September, Yafu was exempted. With the imperial historian Taohou Liu She as the prime minister.
