Chapter 1 When the opportunity comes knocking on the door 5. Liu Cong usurped the throne

Liu Cong, who had suffered a great defeat, returned to Pingyang, the capital of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, and this time his face was even bigger than the last time. But he came back alive, and in fact, he also annihilated a considerable number of living forces of the Jin army. Although the battle was defeated, Liu Cong still had merit, at least Liu Yuan thought so. It's better than those dignitaries who are drunk and dreaming of death at home with their beautiful wives and concubines! should be rewarded by the Xiongnu Han State. Liu Cong's wounded heart also needs to be appeased.

In fact, we can also think of it this way, people who lose face once are ashamed, and people who lose face twice are very indifferent. Liu Cong, maybe that's what it looks like.

Soon, Liu Cong was promoted, and the official was promoted to the rank of Da Situ. In the Han Dynasty, this was one of the three princes in power.

This is the difference between the second generation of officials and wage earners, a result that should have been rolled up and rolled out of the way or even lost his head, but because of Liu Cong's father, it became a reward for meritorious service to the country.

Liu Cong should be happy, he was promoted to get rich and died of his wife, for him who doesn't have to get rich and die of his wife, good things can be regarded as all the good things. But Liu Yuan was very unhappy, he didn't know the price of firewood and rice, and looking at the lack of more than half of the army, Liu Yuan's heart was about to break. Is the money so easy to earn? Soldiers are so easy to recruit? What a loser son.

Soon after, Liu Yuan fell ill.

Although the battle was defeated, there were a lot of losses, but the overall strength of the Xiongnu Han State is still thriving, according to the development of this scenario, under the elimination of the other, the day of the destruction of the Jin is just around the corner! It's a pity that Liu Yuan didn't wait.

In August 310, Liu Yuan died of illness, and he reigned for six years, Emperor Guangwen, and the temple name was Gaozu.

For the Huns, Liu Yuan was a hero, a 100% hero. The Huns have never been as brilliant as they were in Liu Yuan's time. Crisscrossing the Central Plains, drinking Malo water, the Western Jin Empire only had the ability to parry, and had no power to fight back. It's enough to make them proud from now on.

But from the standpoint of the Chinese nation, Liu Yuan opened the Pandora's box of five chaotic flowers, starting from him, after him, tens of millions of Li people on the land of the Central Plains were slaughtered, the white bones were exposed, and there was no rooster crying for thousands of miles. This poison has ravaged China for nearly 300 years.

We should hate him, but we should admire him even more. At that time, there was no such person in China.

The enthronement was the crown prince Liu He.

According to historical records, Liu He is eight feet tall, majestic and resolute, dignified, studious and early.

Study well, look handsome, and have quite a social status (emperor), the successor Liu He is almost perfect, but, since becoming the prince, Liu He has become "suspicious of sex, no kindness", not very supported by his subordinates, and Liu He has never been on the battlefield, compared to Liu Cong, who led the troops several times, Liu He's military merits are equal to zero, that is, Liu He's prestige in the army is equal to zero. In the troubled times when he speaks with the barrel of a gun, Liu He, who is handsome but has no prestige, also has a nice name - embroidered pillow.

The weakness of the monarch and the strength of the minister are in itself a signal of turmoil, even if the person who is stronger than the monarch is the monarch's own brother.

Facing Liu Cong, who was in military power and ambitious, Liu He decided to take the lead before Liu Yuan's coffin was buried, although there was no evidence, but there was no choice. The first strike is strong, and the second attack suffers, the potential threat must be cut off, and when Liu Cong and the others are ready to do it, it must be Liu He himself who dies.

Although he has never been on the battlefield, it can be seen that Liu He is also a ruthless character, and as soon as he succeeded to the throne, he thought of killing all those who threatened his status, and he was ready to clean up Liu Yuan's other two sons together with Liu Cong: Liu Yu, King of Qi, and Liu Yi, King of Beihai.

Although the Southern Expedition was defeated, Liu Cong was more than enough to deal with the embroidered pillow Liu He. Liu He's army, which had been preparing for a long time, failed to defeat Liu Cong's guards, who had been in a hurry, and fled in defeat. Immediately afterwards, Liu Cong led the army to break through the Ximing Gate and enter the palace, and then beheaded Liu He. After that, in line with the principle of leaving no future troubles, Liu Cong beheaded Liu He's comrades who wanted his life.

Set the overall situation.

As for Liu He, there is no posthumous seal, no nickname, and some are the result of being thrown into the wild to feed the dogs.

Is it ruthless? Ruthless enough.

Killing, let's all, can be seen as resistance. Throwing is a symbol of Liu Cong's violent and ruthless.

Liu Cong, who originally planned to send his father down to the ground and go south to conquer the Jin Kingdom again, did not expect his brother Liu He to kill him, but fortunately, the combat effectiveness of the guards who had been in battle for a long time was very powerful, and the agility cultivated by many battlefield battles allowed him to quickly resolve the crisis and save his life. After the coup d'état, Liu He was dead, and the big pie (throne) fell on his head.

Liu Cong naturally wants to resign from the throne that has already been obtained. To cry with a handful of snot and tears, try his best to show how innocent he is, how forced he is, killing Liu He is purely a helpless move, and cutting off dissidents is just a need to save his life, it is really not that he is worried about the throne. In order to show his innocence, Liu Cong also elected Liu Yi, the king of Beihai who had been sadly urged with him, to be the emperor.

Liu Yi is naturally not stupid, if he really nods, there is no doubt that he is the next Liu He, and his death may be even more ugly than Liu He.

After pushing in every possible way, Liu Cong reluctantly and reluctantly ascended the throne of the emperor, it was indeed a flying blessing, Liu Cong's heart blossomed: Dad, I really didn't want to rob it, Liu He sent it himself, there was no way, the matter was forced to that share, and it couldn't be done.

After ascending the throne, Liu Cong made Liu Yi the emperor's younger brother, and named his son Liu Cang as the general of the Fu army, supervising all Chinese and foreign military forces. The era that belongs to Liu Cong began.
