CHAPTER 1 When Opportunity Knocks at the Door 8.Establish oneself as king
As the saying goes, you can't be rich for three generations.
The Xiongnu Han Kingdom started from Liu Yuan, and when it arrived in the hands of Liu Cang, it was exactly three generations. As for Liu Can's actions, they have already been mentioned above and will not be repeated. In August 318, Le Zhun rebelled, killed Liu Cang, and wiped out the Xiongnu Liu clan.
Although the national turmoil shows loyalty, the national turmoil also gives the heroes a chance to start anew. Shile, who had worked hard in the Central Plains, took the opportunity to march to Pingyang. Of course, it can't be said that he is here to occupy territory and expand, Shile's banner is very clear: Kuang Fu Han Dynasty, crusade against rebellion.
The ancients loved to pay attention to everything and were famous, but fortunately, Le Zhun rebelled and killed Liu Cang, and the provincial Shi Le took matters into his own hands, and under the righteousness of Ling Ran, he was also exempted from the heinous responsibility of killing the lord and usurping the throne.
If he didn't seize such an opportunity, wouldn't Shile be stupid?
The march was very smooth, along the way triumphant songs were played frequently, many times defeated the army of Le Zhun's brother Le Ming, when Liu Yao was busy on the way to the crusade to ascend the throne and become emperor, Shi Le's army had already entered Pingyang City.
Of course, Le Zhun begged Shi Le for peace, and even gave him the emperor's carriage and horse clothes, as for the aforementioned matter of sending his daughter, I really don't know if it is or not. I only know that Shile said "NO" very resolutely.
I can pick up the things myself, and I don't need to bother to send them to my lord! But since it's been delivered, let's keep it and don't have to bring it back again, so as not to cause trouble. As for the envoy, if he is a waste of rations, someone will send the envoy to Liu Yao and let him know that Le Zhun has no intention of surrendering to him, and there is a tough battle waiting for him!
Of course, after Liu Yao saw the envoy, he naturally had his own plans, and they were successfully implemented. This has been described in detail in the previous chapters and will not be repeated.
On the surface, Shile really came to crusade against rebellion, but why do we say that he has a rebellious heart?
Before Shi Le entered Pingyang City, Le Ming had already killed Le Zhun and led the people to surrender to Liu Yao. Shile did not encounter much resistance in the process of conquering Pingyang, an empty city, patted the horse and entered. We wonder if Shi Le was a loyal servant, then what would he do after entering Pingyang City? Capture rebels, pacify the populace, search for surviving members of the imperial family, defend the palace, and wait for royal descendants (such as Liu Yao) to inherit the throne. Right? That's what loyal ministers should do.
Shi Le just reburied the bones of Liu Yuan and Liu Cong who were dug up by Lezhuo, who were his former masters, and Shi Le was heavily heavied! Under deep kindness, Shi Le did his duty. As for the rest, nothing was done. Then, a fire burned down the palace.
It was his majesty's palace, it was the palace of his country. It is a symbol from the practical meaning to the spiritual level. Shile set fire to the symbol of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom. In his heart, the Xiongnu Han Kingdom is gone.
I have long wanted to split up the family and passed, and there is such a God-given opportunity, so Shi Le, who has been going on for a long time, will naturally not twist and pinch. Goodbye to the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, what I should do for you and what I can do has been done, from now on, I Shile is Shile, and I will no longer be recorded by anyone.
But Liu Yao was very annoyed, the Huns Liu still had me, the Huns and the Han Kingdom still had me, Shi Le dared to be presumptuous?
In fact, Shi Le really didn't dare to be presumptuous, without him, his strength was not good, and he was not in the state of completely starting a fight. Although Liu Yao did not have enough strength to completely eliminate Shi Le.
So, let's bear with each other first! Shi Le led his troops back to Xiangguo, and Liu Yao led his troops back to Chang'an.
However, the patience under the evil womb did not last long before it went wrong, and Liu Yao and Shi Le broke up completely.
Because of the issue of the official entering the knighthood, Liu Yao thought that Shi Le's envoy went to Chang'an not to congratulate him, but his main purpose was to spy on intelligence, and Cao Leping, who defected from the envoy's side, could testify, so he stopped canonizing Shi Le as the title of King of Zhao. Schler thinks he didn't do it (and if he did, he must say he didn't). made great contributions to the country, was framed for no reason, and was wronged.
Shi Le's words are recorded in the "Book of Jin": The lonely brother serves the Liu family, and the way of the minister is too good. Once the foundation is established, you want to make a picture. Heaven does not help evil, so that the false hand is accurate. The body of the lonely monarch should be the righteousness of Shun seeking to be blind, so he re-respects the lord of the order, and the good is as good as ever, and he wants to be evil and not be afraid, and kill the envoy of Fengcheng. The rise of the emperor is always evil! King Zhao, Emperor Zhao, take it alone, the name is big or small, how can it be evil!
This is Schler's manifesto of rebellion, justifiably and loudly! At least, Shi Le thinks so, he and his brothers are full of indignation, if you want to be a king, you can be a king, if you want to be an emperor, you can be called an emperor, Liu Yao, you can't control it!
Liu Yao is not Liu Yuan, nor is he Liu Cong, he can't control Shile. used to be comrades-in-arms who fought side by side together, but today they want Shile to bow down to him, and they have to be angry everywhere, wretched! Shile was naturally very unconvinced!
From the very beginning, it was just a superficial surrender, and there was no psychological burden at all.
In November 319, Shi Le broke away from Former Zhao and proclaimed himself Da Dan Yu and King of Zhao, and set his capital at Xiangguo, known as Later Zhao in history.
