After presiding over Liu Che's crown ceremony, Liu Qi could no longer support it and was bedridden. Ten days later, on the 27th day of the first lunar month, Liu Qi died in Weiyang Palace at the age of 48 and reigned for 16 years.

When he was dying, Liu Qi left an edict: reward the vassal kings and princes with eight horses; Officials of more than 2,000 stone shall be rewarded with two catties of gold; Officials and the common people who were less than 2,000 stone were to be given 100 pieces of gold per household. Some of the palace people were dismissed, each returned to his own family, and he was exempted from lifelong servitude.

When the emperor died, the ministers were to give the temple name and the nickname according to the emperor's deeds.

Liu Qi inherited Emperor Xiaowen, did not change his humble and frugal style, loved the people, and could be called a virtuous monarch. Therefore, he got the nickname: Emperor Xiaojing. The word "jing" is a beautiful word, and only the monarch who is recognized and praised is entitled to it.

"The Law" cloud: "From righteousness to the scenery; The elderly are worried about the scene; Bu Yi Xing just said the scene; Zhizhi big picture said the scene; Righteousness becomes a scene; Virtue can be looked up to; The law is righteous and the scenery is said to be together; Mingzhao next to the Zhou said the scene. ”

Sadly, Liu Qi did not get the temple number. The ministers believed that Liu Qi had too much black history and was not worthy of entering the ancestral temple and enjoying sacrifices.

As early as when he was the crown prince, Liu Qi beat and killed the prince of Wu because of a game of chess, which caused the resentment of Liu Bi, the king of Wu. After ascending to the throne, his credit was wrong, and he radically cut the feudal domain. In one day, two of the three counties of Wu were cut off, triggering the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. Then, he deceived and killed Chao Cuo, abolished his eldest son Liu Rong, and tortured and killed Zhou Yafu, who had made great contributions, which violated morality.

。

In the eyes of many people, Liu Qi has only done two major things in his life: pacifying the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms and choosing the right successor.

If you can turn back time and go back to twenty years ago, Liu Qi, who was still the crown prince, inadvertently did something that changed history and left a precious spark for the revival of the Han Dynasty.

One day, Liu Qi summoned the courtiers of the imperial palace to feast. Liu Qi was in a good mood and drank a few more glasses of wine. At the end of the banquet, Liu Qi was full of interest and summoned his favorite Cheng Ji to sleep.

Unfortunately, Cheng Ji came to menstrual affairs, and she was physically inconvenienced, so she wanted to refuse, worried that she would sweep Liu Qi's happiness. After hesitating, Cheng Ji's eyes fell on her personal maid Tang'er. Tang Er is at a good age, she is beautiful, and she is honest.

"Why don't you let Tang'er take your place and go to bed?" Cheng Ji had an idea.

Every miller draws water to his own mill! Can't be cheaper than other concubines. Cheng Ji made up her mind, called Tang Er, and ordered her to be a stand-in. Happiness came too suddenly! Tang Er was surprised and delighted, as if in a dream.

So, Cheng Ji dressed up Tang Er and sent him to Liu Qi's bedroom. At this time, Liu Qi's wine strength had already come up, he was dizzy, and when he saw a beautiful woman with glamorous makeup, he didn't know who it was, so he rushed into the account.

When he woke up the next day, Liu Qi realized that he had slept with the wrong person. If you are wrong, you will be wrong, and Tang Er will be given a name and become Tang Ji. Soon after, Tang Ji found out that she was pregnant, and she was excited. Cheng Ji was also happy and treated Tang Er more and more.

Ten months later, Tang Ji gave birth to a baby boy, Liu Qi's sixth son. Liu Qi named this accidental son Liu Fa.

After Liu Fa grew up, his performance was mediocre and not taken seriously, and his biological mother was from a humble background and was not favored by Liu Qi. When the prince was divided, Liu Fa was named the king of Changsha. Among the more than ten brothers, Liu Fa's fief was the worst, and the fief area was the smallest.

Liu Fa was very filial to Tang Ji and Cheng Ji's two mothers, and he once wrote to his father and wanted to take the two mothers to Changsha for support, but Liu Qi did not agree. Liu Fa had no choice but to build a platform for his mother in Changsha to express his thoughts on his mother.

Only when the princes went to Beijing for pilgrimage, Liu Fa could see his mother and say goodbye. In the bottom of his heart, Liu Fa couldn't help but have a faint resentment towards his father.

The emperor gave a banquet to all the princes. At the banquet, Liu Fa took the initiative to stand up and dance for his father to celebrate his birthday. Accompanied by music, Liu Fa shrunk his hands and feet, and his movements were funny. Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Liu Qi was puzzled, frowned and asked, "King of Changsha, which dance are you dancing?" ”

"The feudal country is small and can't be used." Liu Fa stopped dancing without hurrying, arched his hand, and replied loudly.

The hall was suddenly silent.

"......" Liu Qi was silent. How could he not hear the sound of his son.

For many years, I had indeed neglected this son. After all, he is also his own son! Liu Qi touched the love between father and son, and hung his head.

After a while, Liu Qifang said with a smile: "In this case, I will hand over Wuling County, Lingling County, and Guiyang County to you, so that you will not be able to show it." ”

"Erchen thanked Your Majesty!" Liu Fa was overjoyed.

Back in Changsha, Liu Fa worked diligently and made good achievements in governance.

Liu Fa's thirteenth son, Liu Mai, was named the Marquis of Chungling, and this branch moved to Chungling. More than 100 years later, Liu Mai's great-great-grandsons Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu brothers, seeing the chaos in the world, instigated their clansmen and doormen to raise troops in Chungling......

A butterfly flapping its wings gently can trigger a hurricane.

On the day of Liu Qi's death, the crown prince Liu Che ascended the throne in front of the spirit. The era of Dahan has come to an end, and the era of Liu Che has arrived! (End of Volume III)
