Chapter 12 Zhu waits for Liu Zhang
Liu Chang was raised by Empress Lu and had some feelings. When he heard what happened to his biological mother, he couldn't hate his father Liu Bang, nor did he complain that his adoptive mother Lu Hou didn't come to the rescue, but hated him.
It turned out that before Liu Chang's mother committed suicide, she asked someone to find a way to find the trial and eat him, and begged the trial to intercede with Lu Hou and recognize the mother and son. He did mention this to Empress Lu, who was jealous and unwilling to take care of the romantic debts caused by Liu Bang. After seeing that Lu was not happy, he didn't mention it again.
Who knew that Liu Chang hated him when he grew up. To be fair, it is really unjust to judge him in this matter, and it is not about judging him in the first place. Liu Bang refuses to admit it, and Empress Lu is unwilling to take care of it, what can he do? Judging that he had Lu Hou as a backer, Liu Chang didn't dare to trouble him. In the end, the trial and his death were in the hands of Liu Chang, and he did not press the table here.
Empress LΓΌ spared no effort to persecute Liu Bang's descendants, seized the fiefdoms of the princes surnamed Liu, divided his own family, and handed over the world of the Liu family to the Lu family. Under the iron fist, everyone retreats. Liu Heng, the acting king, drank wind and ate sand on the northern border, and Tao was obscure to protect himself. Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, is being the good son of Empress Lu. The members of the royal family surnamed Liu were almost submissive, and only one dared to fight openly.
This hero is Zhu Xuhou Liu Zhang, Liu Bang's best grandson, and an outstanding figure of the royal family surnamed Liu. Liu Zhang is very famous, in the imperial era, whenever the royal family is in trouble, there are always people who talk about this Zhu Xuhou.
Liu Zhang's wife is Lu Lu's daughter, needless to say, this marriage was arranged by Lu Hou. The relationship between the young couple is not bad, and Empress Lu is very satisfied. Liu Zhang was born with divine power, both civil and military, and he could only stand aside under the situation of the Lu family in power, and he was often indignant.
One day, Empress Lu held a banquet in the palace and summoned Liu Zhang to serve as the wine supervisor.
Liu Zhang immediately realized that this was an opportunity, and he begged: "I am a descendant of military generals, please allow me to supervise the wine in accordance with military law." β
Empress Lu casually agreed: "Yes." She didn't realize that the kid wanted to do something big on this occasion.
The crowd drank and watched the singing and dancing. After a song, Liu Zhang stood up and said, "Please let me sing the song of ploughing for the Queen Mother." β
Empress Lu laughed and said, "Your father only knows how to plow the fields." You were born a prince, how do you know what it means to plow a field? β
Liu Zhangzheng replied: "The minister knows." β
Lu Hou smiled and said, "Then try to sing and plough the fields for me." β
Liu Zhang sang: "Deep cultivation is both planted, and the seedlings are sparse, and those who are not their seeds will hoe and go!" β
Those who are not of their kind will hoe and go. is really a versatile person, Liu Zhang created this "Ploughing Song" on the spot to express his dissatisfaction with Empress Lu's favoritism towards the Lu family and the persecution of the princes and kings surnamed Liu.
Empress Lu naturally understood, and she was silent.
After a while, someone in the Lu family got drunk and fled from the banquet, Liu Zhang chased him out, directly drew his sword and killed him, and then came back to report: "There is a person who escaped from the banquet, and the minister has killed him according to military law." β
Hearing this, the whole hall was taken aback. But before the banquet, Empress Lu had agreed that Liu Zhang would supervise the wine in accordance with military law, so he could not be blamed.
When the wine was drunk like this, the people of the Lu family could no longer drink it, and the wine banquet was over.
From then on, the people of the Lu family were afraid of Liu Zhang, and they had to take a detour when they saw him from afar. The ministers of the court and the central government who were unwilling to rely on the Lu clan all moved closer to Liu Zhang, and the power of the Liu clan gradually became stronger.
