Chapter 1 Empress Lu conspired to punish the generals Liu Ying succeeded to the throne of Weiyang Palace
In Changle Palace, Empress Lu was not ready to mourn Liu Bang for the time being, so she urgently summoned Biyang to discuss important matters. At this juncture, of course, the lover is reliable and more intimate.
Empress Lu felt uneasy, she discussed with the judge: "The generals who founded the country were all civilians like the first emperor, and the first emperor could still suppress the scene, but now that the first emperor has died, the prince is still young, I am worried that these generals will not be convinced, and if they don't kill them all, the world will be uneasy!" ”
Deep down, Empress Lu is still unconfident and insecure. This is also a common problem of many founding monarchs, who have succeeded in their own rebellion, and are always afraid that others will follow suit, so they have to kill all the old brothers who follow them to fight the world before they can rest assured. The more the founding emperor from the bottom of the country, the more ruthless he was when he killed his old subordinates.
If power is a tempting drug, then imperial power is the most addictive heroin, and once it is contaminated, it will be impossible to extricate itself. They are always vigilant and nervous in their hands, and on that high throne there may be strong monarchs, but only weak people.
After judging his old lover and boss, Lu Hou, has always been responsive and agrees to help. This workload is too much, and there is no room for mistakes, and the two of them will discuss and discuss, and they will not be able to think of any good way to kill people for a while. It has been three days since Liu Bang's death, and there has been no movement in the palace. The ministers were puzzled. At such a sensitive moment, no one dares to take it lightly.
Qu Zhou Hou Lishang inquired about this amazing inside information. He hurriedly found the judge and persuaded him: "It has been four days since the emperor died, and I heard that the palace is not ready to mourn, and he wants to kill all the meritorious generals. If you really do this, the world will be uneasy. Chen Ping and Guan Ying led 100,000 troops to be stationed in Xingyang, and Fan Hao and Zhou Bo led 200,000 troops to quell Lu Xuan's rebellion in the northern battlefield. ”
In the end, it was already a naked threat. Judging by the food, he was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly said that he would appease Li Shang, so he entered the palace to persuade Empress Lu to change his mind. From ancient times to the present, the pillow wind is the most powerful wind. Empress Lu listened to the words of the judge and gave up the idea of killing people. It is better to pick up the day than to hit the day, and on the day of Ding Wei, he mourned for Liu Bang and gave amnesty to the world.
When the emperor died, it was necessary to summarize his life's achievements and determine the temple number and the temple number. The standard for posthumously honoring the temple number is that "the meritorious person is called the ancestor, and the virtuous person is called the ancestor", and the name should be determined in accordance with the "Confession Law". Liu Bang received a very high evaluation, the temple name is Han Taizu, and the name is Emperor Gao, commonly known as Han Gaozu. The temple names and nicknames of the founding kings of later generations almost all followed this template.
Before the Tang Dynasty, it was extremely prudent to add temple numbers to emperors, and many emperors did not have temple numbers. In the entire Western Han Dynasty, only four emperors enjoyed the glory of the temple number. Liu Ying, who was about to succeed to the throne, did not receive this honor.
In 195 BC, in May, Bingyin Day, the crown prince Liu Ying officially inherited the throne in Weiyang Palace, and respected his mother Empress Lu as the queen mother. Liu Ying entered the darkest seven years of his short life.
