Chapter 12 The Emperor of Filial Piety
Liu Heng did not listen to Jia Yi's advice, moved Liu Xi away from the Huainan Kingdom, became the king of Chengyang, divided the Huainan Kingdom into three, and gave it to Liu Chang's three sons, Fuling Hou Liu An as the king of Huainan, Anyang Hou Liu Bo as the king of Hengshan, and Yang Zhou Hou Liu Ci as the king of Lujiang. Dongcheng Hou Liu Liang has passed away, there is no son, this branch is cut off, so it is not sealed.
In the Xuanshu Palace, Liu Heng sighed: "Brother, you can rest in peace!" ”
Liu Heng's combination of rigidity and softness, grace and power played a great role in subduing all the princes and ruling the country.
Chaos to calm the world with martial arts, rule to cultivate culture and people's hearts!
Under a system with a high degree of centralization of power, from a small unit to a large country, the performance of the top leader is very crucial! Wang virtue is like the wind, the people's virtue is like grass, where the wind goes, where the grass follows.
Liu Heng understands this truth, and he wants to set an example for the people of the world and inspire the people with filial piety. Governing the country first is the family. Liu Heng was in front of his mother, Empress Dowager Bo, and tried his best to be a filial son.
Empress Dowager Bo suffered a lot in her early years, and she was not favored by Liu Bang, until her only son Liu Heng became the acting king, and she began to enjoy some happiness. Empress Lu was in power and persecuted several of Liu Bang's concubines, and Empress Dowager Bo was not less frightened.
As soon as Liu Heng ascended the throne, he sent someone back to Daiguo to take over Empress Bo to Chang'an. Empress Dowager Bo was touched by her son's light, and was promoted from the acting queen mother to the queen mother, and her life was comfortable.
Liu Heng is very filial to his mother.
Once, Empress Dowager Bo was seriously ill and bedridden for three years, and Liu Heng often stayed in front of his mother's bedside all night and served in person, regardless of his identity as emperor. The decoction taken by the Empress Dowager Bo, Liu Heng always had to taste the hot and cold with his own mouth, so that his mother could take it with confidence.
The emperor's filial piety spread to the people and touched the people of the world. Later generations compiled "Twenty-four Filial Piety", and the story of Liu Heng's 'tasting the decoction' was successfully selected.
In 168 BC, Liu Heng issued an edict saying, "Filial piety is the great shun of the world." "Let the local people elect filial piety and friendship and give rewards. The Han Dynasty selected officials with filial piety, which began in the era of Liu Heng, and when his grandson Liu Che became emperor, a complete system of filial piety and honesty was formed. Nationwide, the prosperity of honesty and filial piety, Shu has become a trend!
Liu Heng is not blindly foolish and filial, the disaster of the Lu family, Yin Jian is not far away, he did not relax his vigilance.
The emperor's uncle, the Hou Hou, and the general of the chariot cavalry, Bo Zhao, became more and more presumptuous!
In Weiyang Palace, there is a pair of eyes that are always watching him.
Liu Heng didn't expect that his uncle and Zhou Bo and others were getting closer and closer. Zhou Bo was arrested and imprisoned, but he actually found his uncle to pull the strings and put pressure on his mother. This is a sign of danger!
Liu Heng asked the princes to return to their fiefdoms, and the princes resisted, and people went to Bo Zhao's Yihou Mansion to discuss the emperor's new policy.
"We stayed well in Chang'an, now we have to leave if we want to go!"
"The emperor's ears are soft! It was all instigated by that Jia Sheng. ”
"I don't want to go, I can drag it out until one day!"
……
Bo Zhao enjoys this feeling of the stars holding the moon very much, as an illegitimate child, he has been despised since he was a child, God has eyes, and now he is finally bitter.
He snorted softly, and the crowd fell silent, and several people looked at him with blank eyes.
Someone couldn't help but say: "General, you are Your Majesty's own uncle, can you come forward and say something?" ”
Someone next to him immediately chimed in: "Yes! You should come forward to persuade Your Majesty! ”
Bo Zhao waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty is something I grew up watching, with a soft appearance and a big mind in my heart!" No one can convince him of what he has decided! ”
There was a sigh in the room, and someone said in disappointment: "Your own uncle can't persuade us, we want to stay in Chang'an, it seems that there is really no hope." ”
Bo Zhao smiled: "If you want to stay in Chang'an, I'll teach you a way!" ”
