The emperor favored Liu Bi, the king of Wu, and aroused the dissatisfaction of two people, one of whom we know, is Liu Qi, the crown prince who killed Liu Xian, and the other is the prince's family Ling Chao wrong.

Even in front of Liu Qi, Chao Cuo repeatedly advocated the seizure of the princes' fiefs. Chao Cuo won the trust of the crown prince Liu Qi and was known as a think tank. His words deeply influenced the future emperor Liu Qi.

Now Liu Heng is in charge, Chao Cuo made many suggestions, Liu Heng praised and praised, and most of them ignored it. There were only two suggestions, which Liu Heng adopted, and had an important impact on the political situation.

Chao Cuo was born in a law, and when he was the prince's housekeeper, he was worried about Liu Qi's education, so he wrote to Emperor Liu Heng, suggesting that the prince learn more about the monarch's mathematics.

The number of monarch techniques mentioned by Chao Cuo is very thoroughly discussed by Han Feizi, who is the culmination of the Legalist. Han Feizi divided the law of rule into three levels: law, technique, and potential. Law, the code of law governing the people; arts, the power of the officials; Potential, the method of consolidating power. Han Feizi's doctrine has influenced thousands of years.

Seeing the book, Liu Heng praised his mistake and promoted him to serve as the prince's family order. The crown prince's family order is the head of the crown prince, the rank is not high, and the political status is very important. This is a vivid example of the outer Huang Lao internal method in the early Han Dynasty.

Chao Cuo was encouraged, and sent a letter to the emperor, asking to follow the Xiongnu to force. Liu Heng was unwilling to use force easily, and issued a perfunctory edict. Chao Cuo wiped his sweat, and in view of the border defense problem, he published another book, suggesting that the common people should be moved to enrich the border population, which is the famous "Guarding the Border and Persuading Farmers to Sparse". For the first time, Chao Cuo put forward the idea of Tuntian and the border. Liu Heng attached great importance to it and immediately issued an edict to implement it.

Chao Cuo's personality is harsh and severe, and he has a very good appetite for Liu Qi, and Liu Qi is very fond of this prince's family. Chao mistakenly took the prince's bus, although his official position was not high, but it attracted the attention of the government and the opposition. Yuan Ang and other ministers hated him very much.

Especially Yuan An, and Chao Cuo are incompatible. Wherever there is a mistake, Yuan Ang will definitely avoid it; But wherever Yuan Ang is there, Chao Cuo will never join in the fun. The two will also perform a few wonderful rival scenes, and now, Chao Cuo is not Yuan An's opponent.

Yuan Ang is very showy, because Liu Heng likes him, and the following things can explain it.

Liu Heng favored the eunuch Zhao Tan, relying on Liu Heng's favor, Zhao Tan often slandered Yuan Ang in front of Liu Heng. Every day, someone makes a small report to the leader, and Yuan Ang is very worried. His nephew advised Yuan Ang to find an opportunity to publicly humiliate Zhao Tan and make the conflict public.

One day, Liu Heng traveled by car, and Zhao Tan served in the car. Yuan Ang knelt in front of the carriage and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I heard that the people who can sit with you on the Chengyu are all heroes and heroes!" Although the Han lacks heroes and heroes now, how can His Majesty sit with a eunuch? ”

Liu Heng laughed and let Zhao Tan get out of the car on the spot.

Liu Heng went to Baling, and on a whim, he planned to fly down the hillside. Yuan Ang rode a horse to stop the emperor's carriage and held the reins.

Liu Heng asked: "What, is the general afraid?" ”

Yuan Ang replied: "I heard that the son of a thousand golds can't sit down, and the son of a hundred gold, he doesn't lean on the railing, because he is afraid of danger. Now His Majesty is driving a fast car, speeding down the steep slope, if something happens, even if His Majesty does not cherish himself, how can he be worthy of Gaozu and the Queen Mother? ”

When Liu Heng heard this, he gave up the adventurous plan of flying down the mountain.

Yuan Ang also had times when Liu Heng was unhappy.
