Liu Heng entered Beijing
The name of Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty is very famous in Chinese history, and the "rule of Wenjing" is a full affirmation of his political achievements. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Many times, opportunities belong to those who are brave enough to create and pioneer. However, at this time, we have to say: the opportunity belongs to those who are inexplicably waiting. In this world, there are always many inexplicable ironies. Isn't it? You don't see Liu Xiang defrauding Liu Ze and seizing his military power; was then fooled by Liu Ze, making his throne empty. The two of them fought back and forth, but the biggest pie in the world fell on Liu Heng's head.
When Liu Heng heard that there was something good about the envoy of Chang'an calling him to Beijing, he asked himself thousands of times: Is there really a pie falling from the sky?
Skepticism is inevitable. He was accustomed to the loneliness, loneliness, cold, and unseasoned winds and sands of the north. In this lonely world, he has always thought that he will never be able to get out of the Daidi for the rest of his life. Dai Di is like a enclosure, he and his mother, and the group of close ministers around him who are at peace with what they encounter, are all sheep in the pen. This is what he thinks is his fate. But now, the coming fate disrupted all his thoughts and all his life plans and actions.
Entering the city? How can this be true? The good news sent to Liu Heng by the envoy of Chang'an made him feel like a person who was used to walking in the dark, and he couldn't believe that there was light ahead...
But no matter how suspicious and uneasy you Liu Heng is, the messenger is standing in front of you, this can't be fake, right? So, what is it like to trust your heart? Or do you believe in this big living person in front of you? Liu Heng hesitated. So, he summoned all his close ministers to study and discuss the "great news" brought by the envoy...
Like Liu Heng, most people are skeptical. Not only do they not believe that pie will fall from the sky, but they even suspect that this is a big trap designed by Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and others. The representative of the skeptical faction is Lang Zhongling Zhang Wu, "The people who are still alive in the central court are all masters of conspiracy, they have just killed Zhu Lu and washed the capital in blood, in the name of welcoming the king, it is really not credible, the king should say that he is sick and wait and see what happens" Even if a pie falls from the sky, you have to smell the smell first, right? Zhang Wu, as a lieutenant who has been in charge of the security of the palace for a long time, his words cannot be said to be unreasonable.
However, there are also many people in favor, he is Lieutenant Song Chang, "The king's trip must be worry-free, and all the monarchs are too suspicious." Let me tell you a few points: 1 After the death of Qin, the princes rose together, which one did not want to be honored? But in the end, the Liu family finally practiced the position of the Son of Heaven, and from then on, the world held its breath and did not dare to have extravagant hopes; 2 Emperor Gao divided the king with the same surname, and the dog's tooth system was as solid as a rock, and the world was not convinced of its strength; 3 After the Han Dynasty, in addition to Qin's harsh government, he benefited the people, and the people were at peace with themselves, and their hearts were towards the Han Dynasty; 4 With the authority of the Empress Dowager Lu, she set up three kings of Lu, and she was autocratic and autocratic, how majestic! However, Captain Zhou Bo entered the Northern Army with one section, and shouted with his arms, and the soldiers were all left as Liu, which was the will of heaven and not man-made; 5Even if a minister wants to play a conspiracy, but the people refuse to listen, how can it be done? 6 We have Liu Zhang and Liu Xingju inside, and Wu, Chu, Huaiyang, Langxi, Qi, and Dai all have the surname Liu, and they are our people. If there is a rebellion against a minister, destroy him at once; 7 There were not many descendants left of Emperor Gao, and the great king was the most outstanding of them. That's why the ministers helped you to be this emperor. The king can go as much as he wants, don't doubt it" In this way, what Song Chang said also makes a lot of sense. He is also a soldier and has a good sense of professional smell, so he can't say that what he said is wrong. But if both sides are reasonable, who does Liu Heng want to listen to? This is equivalent to the ministers talking in vain...
Liu Heng is not Liu Ze, and his brain is immediately congested as soon as it is hot. Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, go or stay, Liu Heng still can't make up his mind! So, the cautious Liu Heng had to ask his old mother Bo for help, but Bo Ji was silent at this time, because there was really no experience and lesson to tell her: In the end, did they fall from the sky on behalf of the Wang family is a pie or a bomb?
It seems that the only question that human beings can't answer is to ask God? Liu Heng had no choice but to summon a sorcerer to perform divination. Bu to a hexagram called "Daheng". What is Daheng? In ancient times, the carapace of a tortoise was roasted over a fire, and the future was identified by observing the patterns displayed. If the carapace is full of horizontal cracks, it is a large horizontal one. The hexagram of the big horizontal hexagram is as follows: Da Heng Geng, Yu is the king of heaven, Xia Qi is light (the big horizontal indicates the replacement, I will be the king of heaven, like Xia Qi continues to be Dayu, so that the father's business will be carried forward)
This is an excellent hexagram. But Liu Heng was overjoyed and angry, he calmly asked the wizard, "I am already a king, what else should I be" Liu Heng is certainly not a fool, he was born in a country of ancient superstition, how many hexagrams and other things will be studied. I believe that he is fully capable of answering this hexagram. And the reason why he questioned the wizard was because he understood that the same answer, coming from someone else's mouth, and directly breaking it himself, had a completely different effect! The sorcerer is naturally quite cooperative, "The king of this hexagram is not an ordinary prince king." It refers to the Emperor."
Since God supports it, Liu Heng decided to go! Before leaving, Liu Heng first sent Bo's younger brother and his uncle Bo Zhao to Chang'an to find Zhou Bo and find out the truth.
Zhou Bo told Bo Zhao, "Let the acting king enter the city with confidence, we have taken care of everything for him" Bo Zhao asked Zhou Bo, "Why do you make me believe in you" Zhou Bo smiled, "Just because I am the upright Zhou Taiwei of the Han Dynasty" Of course, to convince Bo Zhao that this was a kind invitation, Zhou Bo also had to give Bo Zhao a briefing on the process of the ministers' meeting and discussion.
Bo Zhao finally believed it, and immediately reported back to Liu Heng, so that he could pack his luggage and set off with confidence. When Liu Heng heard the news, he finally smiled happily. The first person he wanted to praise was of course Song Chang, "as the public said", Liu Heng took Zhang Wu and other six people as the passer, and Song Chang accompanied him to Chang'an!
In Chinese history, the vast majority of princes and kings have a common dream in their hearts: to enter the capital and command the world! Of course, the vast majority of them failed in the end. We have reason to believe that Liu Heng also has such a dream in his heart, but he is a cautious person. So when he came to Gaoling, which is more than 30 kilometers northeast of Chang'an City, he sent Song Chang, who accompanied the car, to explore the road first...
It's really not easy to come this way!
At this time, Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and others were already waiting on the Wei Bridge 3 miles north of Chang'an City. The momentum of the magnificence, the solemn expression, and the neat procession do not seem to be deceitful. Song Chang returned to report to Liu Heng: There are no mines ahead, only hundreds of officials are lined up, please rest assured that the king will move forward...
Liu Heng's questions were like piles of blocks in his heart, and when he heard Song Chang's report, another stone fell. So I continued to move forward and came to Weiqiao, where I saw that these unfamiliar faces were full of happy and excited expressions. They are like a group of wives and concubines, waiting for their masters who have traveled far away and never returned: we have waited for the flowers to be grateful, and it is time for you to come back, the king.
When the ministers saw Liu Heng's carriage from a distance, they immediately bowed down to the ground with courtesy. This worship made Liu Heng, who was still the acting king, a little flattered, and he hurriedly got out of the car and saluted everyone.
At this time, Taiwei Zhou Bo walked out of the ministers, walked up to Liu Heng and said, "Can we talk in private" Zhou Bo's words made Liu Heng feel shocked when he heard it. Is there anything you can't say publicly? Why talk privately? I've traveled thousands of kilometers just to listen to your terrible words?
At this time, Song Chang was standing beside Liu Heng. As soon as Zhou Bo's voice fell, he said with a straight face, "If the captain has something to say, you can say it directly." If you are talking about official business, please explain it publicly; If you talk about private matters, then I'm sorry, the king is selfless"
When it comes to this, then it's public. I saw Zhou Bochang kneeling on the ground, and immediately presented Liu Heng with the Son of Heaven Fu Seal. It turned out that Zhou Bo had a private appointment to give this national treasure!
I think: In the face of this treasure in Zhou Bo's hands, Liu Heng's heart must be fighting between heaven and man at this time. A voice said to him, "Take it!" And another voice said to him: No, not now!
Perhaps it was the indifference of learning Huang Lao's art all year round that allowed Liu Heng to successfully control his inner demons. I saw him humbly say to Zhou Bo, "This thing doesn't belong to me, I can't accept it." Let's go into the city and have another meeting to discuss, okay?" But when those old ministers heard it, they were greatly relieved. This acting king, it is right to choose him. Knowing how to give in, but also modest, free to advance and retreat. What a plant!
Yes, I am not destined to eat hot tofu in a hurry. What's more, it's the world that I'm going to eat today, and I can't be in a hurry. Later, on September 29, Liu Heng successfully entered Chang'an City. After entering the city, he did not go straight to Weiyang Palace, but came to the Dai Mansion, that is, the hotel where Dai Guo's permanent office in Chang'an City lived.
That night, Prime Minister Chen Ping, Taiwei Zhou Bo, General Chai Wu, Imperial Historian Zhang Cang, Zongzheng Liu Ying, Zhu Xuhou Liu Zhang, Dongmu Marquis Liu Xingju, Dianke Liu Zhang and other ministers gathered in the palace to discuss matters. Chen Ping sent a petition to Liu Heng on behalf of the ministers: Liu Hong's little children are not born to Emperor Xiaohui, and they have no right to be the son of heaven. We have discussed with Emperor Gao's Liu Bang's eldest sister-in-law, Yin Anhou, second sister-in-law, Queen Qing, and King Langya, and we all unanimously elected you as the Son of Heaven.
Liu Heng keenly discovered a flaw in the petition: there is one person missing from the so-called Liu elders: Liu Bang's half-brother, Liu Jiao, the king of Chu! So he immediately said, "My ability is limited, and my seniority is low, so it is not my turn to be the emperor." You better ask my Uncle Chu Wang to find another suitable person, anyway, I don't dare to take on this big responsibility" Liu Heng's move seems to be resigned, but it is actually tentative. There is a lack of historical records, and I don't know how Chen Ping dispelled Liu Heng's doubts about Liu Jiao, in short, Liu Heng finally unloaded the last stone in his heart.
Liu Heng sighed and said with a wry smile, "Since the clan, the generals, and the princes all think that I am suitable to be the emperor, then I have no choice but to obey my fate" The next scene seems to have returned to the scene where Liu Bang was appointed as the Son of Heaven. After Liu Heng made the third concession to the west and the third to the south, he accepted the Fu Xi of the Son of Heaven. At this point, the dust has finally settled on the throne of the emperor. 23-year-old Liu Heng also officially became Emperor Wen of Han!
Next, it is to enter the Weiyang Palace. But here comes the troublesome problem: at this time, the palace still lives in the titular little emperor Liu Hong's children. Since the ministers of the Han Dynasty recognized the new Son of Heaven, they must sweep the little emperor out of the house. Someone took the initiative to take over this glorious task immediately, and he was Liu Xiang and Liu Zhang's third brother, Liu Xingju, the Marquis of Dongmu. Liu Xingju took the initiative to ask Ying to "kill the Lu family, the minister is ashamed and useless, and leave the matter of the Qing Palace to me" After receiving the order, Liu Xingju immediately went straight to the palace with his servant Xiahou Ying. In the matter of clearing the palace, if there is cleaning, there must be someone who moves garbage, and Xiahou Ying belongs to the latter.
The two broke into Weiyang Palace and asked the young emperor Liu Hong to move his buttocks. The little emperor still doesn't know why Liu Xingju's brother asked him to move? Regarding this question, Liu Xingju replied very simply, "You are not Liu Ying's biological son, you are not worthy of staying in the palace" After speaking, he took the guards forward and drove away the halberd ministers around the little emperor, and most of them threw their halberds and dispersed. There are still a few people who refuse to retreat, and the original Lu family's sworn friend and eunuch ordered Zhang Shi to seek meritorious service and self-protection, and stepped forward to advise, so everyone dispersed in a hurry.
Subsequently, Xiahou Ying stepped forward and carried Liu Hong into the car. At this time, Liu Hong raised his head in fear and asked the good man Xiahou Ying, "Uncle, where are you going to send me" Xiahou Ying sighed and coaxed, "Go out and live, the place will not be very far" Xiahou Ying did not lie to the children, he got Liu Hong to Shaofu.
Subsequently, Liu Xingju forced the Empress Dowager Zhang Yan to move to the North Palace. Then prepare the Son of Heaven and go to the palace to greet Liu Heng.
At dusk that day, Liu Heng entered the palace. The emperor is easy to change, and the driver remains the same; The person who drove for Liu Heng was still Xiahou Ying. When he came to the end gate of the palace, he saw ten people holding halberds and blocking the royal driver, "The Son of Heaven is still here, who are you?" How to trespass" Liu Heng was not surprised, and hurriedly sent someone to tell Zhou Bo. Zhou Bo immediately rushed over and told the ten people: This is the new son of heaven, you should go to the halberd to avoid it.
Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty finally entered the Weiyang Palace. That night, he immediately drafted an edict: Song Chang was the general of Wei to pacify the northern and southern armies; Zhang Wu was the commander of Lang Zhongling and was in charge of the internal affairs of the palace. He also issued an edict: amnesty for the world, grant every man in the world a knighthood, take a hundred women as a unit, give a cow a head of wine, ten stones, and five days of drunk... Amnesty, knighthood, cattle wine, and drunkenness have since become a fixed format, and have become the first good things that all emperors must do after ascending the throne.
At the same time, the relevant officials separately killed the four children of the Later Young Emperor Liu Hong, the King of Liang Liu Tai, the King of Huaiyang, and the King of Hengshan Liu Chao, and Liu Ying's seed was declared extinct!
I believe that this night is destined to be a sleepless night for Liu Heng. Above the treasure hall, the candlelight is swaying, and the hall is full of wealth; Outside the palace gate, the night was covered with blood, and Liu Hong turned into a ghost. Internal and external reflections, it turns out that the heaven and hell of politics are just a door apart!
October 1, the first year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (BC180), is another unusual New Year; It's another New Year where I see the new people laughing and the old people crying. As the saying goes, there are three fires when a new official takes office. In fact, for the new emperor Liu Heng, just three fires can't burn anything. If we can't burn it, let's burn it slowly, and the fire that should be burned at present still has to be burned. The following fires, Liu Heng is indispensable in any case: 1 clan and meritorious heroes; 2 Crown Prince and Queen; 3. Reorganize foreign policy.
