Chapter 22 Liu Xiang loses the throne

After some discussion, the meritorious group and the representatives of the royal family surnamed Liu, Liu Zhang, Liu Xingju and Liu Ze, the king of Langya, reached a consensus to simply kill the little emperor Liu Hong and find a new one surnamed Liu to be the emperor.

Wasn't Liu Ze under house arrest by Liu Xiang, the king of Qi? How did it end up here? Sometimes I have to take it, the ginger is still old and spicy! It is said that Liu Ze fell for Liu Xiang and was detained in Linzi. He pondered for a way to get out, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of a good idea.

He found Liu Xiang and lied to him: "Your father Liu Fei is the eldest son of Emperor Gaozu, you are the eldest son of your father, you are the eldest grandson of Emperor Gaozu Zhengzongzong, and the position of Emperor Han belongs to you!" The old ministers in the DPRK and China don't necessarily think so. I am willing to go to Chang'an to convince them. Now in the Liu family, I am the highest in generation, and I am still useful when I speak. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xiang's eyes lit up. Liu Ze looked at Liu Xiang's face and continued: "So, if you leave me in Linzi now, it won't work at all." Why don't you send me to Chang'an and let me say good things for you, isn't it the best of both worlds! ”

Liu Xiang was eager to be the emperor, he believed Liu Ze's words, and sent someone to send Liu Ze to Chang'an. Looking at the Linzi City Gate, which was getting farther and farther away, Liu Ze almost didn't laugh, "Boy! You're still a little tender. ”

When Liu Ze arrived in Chang'an, he was really taken seriously and was invited to participate in this meeting to decide the ownership of the throne. After all, Liu Ze's identity is here, the founding hero and the prince surnamed Liu, and he is the uncle and grandfather of the current little emperor.

When discussing who to appoint as the next emperor, someone put it forward: Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, is the eldest grandson of Gaozu Liu Bang and should be the emperor.

The proposer is Pingyang Hou Cao Jiao. Cao Shen is the son of Cao Shen, don't forget, Cao Shen was the minister of state of the first generation of Qi King Liu Fei. Cao Ji has served in the palace for a long time, is close to Liu Zhang and Liu Xingju in age, has the origin of his father, and has the opportunity to have close contact with the brothers because of his work relationship, it is not surprising that he secretly became the king of Qi.

Moreover, Cao Ji made great contributions in the coup d'Γ©tat that annihilated Zhulu, but he was not rewarded, and was removed from office after Liu Heng, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, succeeded to the throne, and only had the name of Pingyang Hou. It is speculated that the reason is that Cao Qi supported Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, as the emperor.

Before Cao Ji's words fell, Liu Ze jumped out to object, "The Lu family is able to do evil by virtue of their relatives, and almost ruined the Liu family's world." King Qi's uncle Si Jun is a cruel person, if the king of Qi is the emperor, it is equivalent to supporting another Lu family. ”

Liu Ze's words are exactly what Chen Ping wants. The Liu Xiang brothers are like wolves and tigers, they have become the climate, there is a set of teams from the Qi Wang family, they come to power, and our old brothers are not allowed to stand aside! Chen Ping pushed the boat down the river, echoed Liu Ze's words, and said that he could not establish the king of Qi. Liu Xiang passed by the throne.

Perhaps he was angry, but only a year later, Liu Xiang died of illness, nicknamed: King Mourning. It's so sad, I worked so hard and in the end, I made a wedding dress for others!

The highest art of politics is balance. The people who are finally selected must be in line with or relatively in line with the interests of each faction.
