Settle accounts after the fall

The so-called iron relationship of the Zhu family is actually the good old man Xiahou Ying. www.biquge.info In Luoyang City, after Xiahou Ying stayed at the Zhu family for a few days to drink, the Zhu family found an opportunity to ask Xiahou Ying, "What crime did Ji Bu commit?" The emperor wanted him like this."

These words reminded Xiahou Ying of the defeat of Pengcheng, and Ji Bu still vividly remembered the fact that Ji Bu chased his carriage wildly, "This Ji Bu once felt sorry for the emperor, so the emperor resented him very much"

The Zhu family asked again, "Then what do you think of Ji Bu?"

Xiahou Ying "is a sage"

Of course, it's a sage, no one has ever chased Xiahou Ying's carriage so closely, only this Ji Bu almost caught up.

The Zhu family finally couldn't help it, and said the prepared words in an old mind, "The so-called people and ministers are all dedicated to the master, Ji Bu was Xiang Yu's subordinate at the beginning, chasing the emperor, that is a manifestation of his loyalty." Could it be that the emperor is now going to kill all of Xiang Yu's courtiers? Now that the emperor has newly won the world, he will search for a person all over the world because of his own personal grudges, what will the people of the world think? It's too broad-minded, isn't it? Besides, if Ji Bu is forced to be in a hurry, he will either run north to the Xiongnu or flee south to South Vietnam. This is how Wu Zixu took revenge on King Chuping in the past. Does the emperor want to be the second King of Chuping? You are the emperor's confidant, why don't you persuade the emperor well"

Xiahou Ying suddenly understood.

The Zhu family came all the way to Luoyang, not to drink him, but for Ji Bu.

In this way, isn't Jibu hiding in your house?

Xiahou Ying smiled knowingly.

The Zhu family also smiled, yes, Ji Bu is hiding in my house, whether he is alive or dead, you can watch it!

We know that Xiahou Ying's life is a life of sacrificing his life and a life of saving the wounded.

The Zhu family has found the right person.

Xiahou Ying immediately agreed to intercede with the emperor on behalf of Ji Bu.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Liu Bang to issue a holy decree announcing the pardon of Ji Bu.

Later, Ji Bu was summoned by the emperor and worshiped as Langzhong.

The Zhu family has also become a world-famous hero.

Ji Bu later relied on his personal efforts to become such a big official as Zhonglang General and Hedong County Shou.

But after Ji Bu was honored, the Zhu family never saw him again for the rest of his life.

The meaning is obvious: I will not repay the favor!

So everyone even threw the five bodies admired by the Zhu family to the ground, and they all wanted to make friends with the Zhu family.

Ji Bu also has a half-brother Ding Gong, who is now also on the run.

He thinks he is also a sage, and his 'sage' is still shouted by Liu Bang, who was forced to be in a hurry, during the battle of Pengcheng.

Ding Gong thought that he was Ji Bu's younger brother and a sage, and he let Liu Bang go.

If you can meet Liu Bang, you will definitely survive, right?

In fact, Ding Gong's calculation was really wrong!

When he came to Luoyang confidently and took the initiative to see Liu Bang, he didn't expect Liu Bang to sneer and "take it for me"

Ding Gong was completely blinded: Your Majesty, I will let you go, and if you don't become an official, why do you want to take me?

Liu Bang said: "Then I will tell you clearly: if you die, you will die in Zeng let me go!" Jibu chased me wildly, that was faithful to duty; If you let me go, it's called dereliction of duty, you know."

Liu Bang ordered Ding Gong to be escorted through the army, announcing the crime: "Listen, everyone listens, Ding Gong is disloyal to Xiang Wangchen, and it is he who makes Xiang Wang lose the world"

After reading it out, a knife was cut down, blood splattered on the ground, and Liu Bang stood up again and spoke, "In the world of the Han Dynasty, if anyone imitates Ding Gong, his head will fall to the ground."

Liu Bang's move is called borrowing strength to fight and make an example of a hundred.

Not only did it not receive the slightest criticism, but it deterred the army, and it became a classic teaching material for later emperors.

It's a pity that Ding Gong's little life has taught the people of the world from now on: no longer be the farmer who is kind enough to save snakes!

Then Liu Bang remembered that Tian Heng, the youngest of the three heroes of the Tian family, came.

After the state of Qi was destroyed by Han Xin, Tian Heng defected to Peng Yue.

But Peng Yue has now become the king of Liang in the Han Dynasty, Tian Heng felt that Peng Yue was unreliable, so he simply fled to a small island in the Yellow Sea with 500 guests to hide.

After Liu Bang received the confirmatory news, he immediately sent an envoy to Zhao'an.

Announce the pardon of Tian Heng's crimes and let him come to Luoyang.

Tian Heng refused, and his reason was that "I used to cook His Majesty's envoy Li Shiqi, and now I heard that his younger brother Li Shang is a general by His Majesty's side. I was afraid, so I didn't dare to obey the edict. Please ask the emperor to be gracious, depose me as an ordinary person, and let me live on this island for the rest of my life."

Of course, it's okay to abolish you as a commoner, but do you see that in this world, there are 500 warriors who can be reunited with 500 soldiers who are desperate to die for you?

Since you are afraid of the revenge of the merchants?

That's okay, I, the emperor, will come forward to support you!

In order to dispel Tian Heng's concerns, Liu Bang immediately summoned Wei Wei Lishang and told him very seriously, "Listen: I want to recall Comrade Tian Heng, who killed your brother, back to the capital." If you dare to touch him, I will kill your whole people."

Liu Bang warned that after the discussion was completed, he would send an envoy to the island.

The envoys sent this time were different from the last time.

The difference is that the messenger has an extra bamboo pole in his hand, which is not an ordinary bamboo pole, but a "knot"

It is a token representing the emperor.

The "Festival" of the Western Han Dynasty Government

It is a bamboo pole about two meters long, with an oxtail tied to the tip.

"Holding the Festival"

That is, to hold it, to represent the emperor in person, with absolute authority.

So don't underestimate this little knot, if you don't have it, Tian Heng can stubbornly resist to the end; But with it, Tian Heng dares to resist again, and there is only a dead end.

Sure enough, this time, the envoy of the festival only threw a sentence to Tian Heng: "The emperor asked me to tell you: If you return to the capital, you can discuss the title of king and marquis; But if you dare to disobey, immediately send troops to wash the island in blood! Whether you go or stay, you can do it yourself."

Liu Bang's trick is ruthless enough!

All of a sudden, Tian Heng was speechless to quibble.

Staying is death, and going may not be a blessing, but it is a trivial matter to die for me Tian Heng alone, how can it affect five hundred brothers?

So Tian Heng had no choice but to pack his luggage, take two doormen, and go to Luoyang with the Han envoy.

When he came to the corpse village post more than 10 kilometers east of Luoyang, Tian Heng suddenly stopped leaving.

This is really a strange post station, there are so many words in the world, why take such an unlucky name?

Is the corpse township a township that specializes in receiving corpses?

Of course, a bad name is not the reason why Tian Heng stopped.

In fact, he had a plan in his heart.

Tian Heng said to the Han envoy, "When a minister sees the Son of Heaven, he should wash and change his clothes to show respect."

When the Han envoy heard this, he agreed to Tian Heng to stay at the post station to take a bath and change clothes.

The messenger was fooled.

Tian Heng didn't really want to shower and change clothes, but had other plans.

But what is surprising is that Tian Heng is not planning to escape, but is preparing to commit suicide!

Tian Heng avoided the Han envoy and confided the secret in his heart to the two doormen: "At the beginning, Liu Bang and I were both lonely in the south. But now that he is the Son of Heaven, and I am a prisoner, I am a prisoner, and I want to serve in the north, is it not shameful! And I have cooked a murderous brother, and I want to serve the Lord side by side with his brother, even if he is afraid of the edict of the Son of Heaven and does not dare to kill me, do I have no shame in my heart? In fact, the reason why the emperor summoned me this time was just to see what I looked like. This place is less than 30 miles away from Luoyang, I cut off my head here and gallop to Luoyang, and my face should not change. Just send it for me."

After Tian Heng finished speaking, he immediately killed himself.

The doorman hurriedly brought Tian Heng's head to the Han envoy: "My lord has killed himself." The two of us are willing to take this head and go to Luoyang with you to see the driver, and show the Son of Heaven the voice and face of my lord."

The Han envoy had already regretted it, and he didn't even eat, and immediately led the two of them to gallop to Luoyang City.

In the palace, Liu Bang finally saw Tian Heng's head, and sighed with tears, "The three Tian brothers started from cloth clothes and became kings one after another, and they are all sages today."

Liu Bang ordered: appoint Tian Heng and these two disciples as captains, and send 2,000 soldiers to bury Tian Heng with the gift of the king.

At the end of the funeral, the two doormen each dug a deep hole next to Tian Heng's tomb, drilled into it, and shouted in front of Tian Heng's coffin, "Island master, we are also with you"

Suicide martyrdom.

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly reported to Liu Bang.

Liu Bang was even more shocked: "Tian Heng, these two doormen are so loyal. Kindness. How many more people are there on the island?"

The Han envoy replied "five hundred"

Liu Bang was stunned again: "If these five hundred people are like the loyalty of these two people, they will die for Hengxiao." That's definitely a big problem. You go to that island again right away and recall all 500 people back to Luoyang."

These five hundred guests did not doubt him, and came to Luoyang with the Han envoys.

But after arriving in Luoyang, I heard that Tian Heng was dead, so I came to Tian Heng's tomb collectively, and after crying and sacrificing, they all committed suicide and martyrdom!

For a while, the mountains and rivers changed color, the sea was silent, and the sky rained down, this is the last swan song of loyal ministers and righteous men in history!

Liu Bang was completely speechless.

Tian Heng is like a meteor in the sky that passes away in a hurry, but it leaves an eternal human light on the earth.

His name is also deeply engraved on the small island where he once lived - Tianheng Island (now at the mouth of Donglaoshan Bay in Jimo City, Shandong Province), and Liu Bangding's capital Luoyang was less than three months before someone came to him to suggest moving the capital.

This man's name is Lou Jing.

Before this, almost no one in the gang of bigwigs in Luoyang City knew that there was a person named Lou Jing in the world.

Of course, Lou Jing at that time was just a hard-working soldier who was recruited from Qi and sent to Longxi to guard the border.

And when Lou Jing's border army passed by Luoyang City, he suddenly untied the rope on his body and ran.

But what is unexpected is that he did not flee back to Qi, but defected to a fellow countryman named General Yu.

Lou Jing told General Yu straight to the point: "I want to see the current emperor." I would like to make a suggestion to the Emperor."

General Yu stayed for a long time, and finally said, "Then I'll give you a new set of clothes, you at least have to shower and change before you go to see the emperor."

But I didn't expect Lou Jing to refuse, "I'm used to this brown coat on my body." I just want to see the emperor, and I won't change it."

This fellow is crazy, isn't he?

Showering and changing clothes is the most basic respect for the emperor, and if you don't even understand this basic etiquette, isn't that tantamount to death?

Well, since you want to die, I'll fulfill you.

So General Yu tried to report to Liu Bang, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Bang was willing to summon Lou Jing.

and ordered to take this Lou Jing to have a good meal first.

In fact, the reason why Lou Jing dared to meet Liu Bang was because he had a powerful weapon on his body, that is, the tongue in his mouth.

We know that since Su Qin became famous, almost all of the Zongheng family were from poor backgrounds, and they all had a common characteristic, high art and boldness.

As the saying goes, disaster comes from the mouth, if you are timid, don't do the Zongheng family, if you are a Zongheng family, you have to wash your neck and wait to be cut at any time.

Lou Jing didn't wash his neck, he had enough confidence to judge, and Liu Bang would definitely accept his opinion.

That being the case, let's prove it in practice!

As soon as Lou Jing saw Liu Bang, he asked, "May I ask the emperor to set the capital of Luoyang, does he want to establish a country with the Zhou Dynasty for a longer time?"

Liu Bang replied without hesitation, "You are right"

Lou Jing said: "The Han Dynasty takes the world, which is different from the Zhou. Since the Zhou royal family has accumulated virtue for more than ten generations, it was only by King Wen, King Wu, King Cheng, and Duke of Zhou that they finally took over the world and built a palace in Luoyi, which is located in the middle of the world. It can be said that with this place as the capital, it is prosperous, and without virtue it is easy to perish. And how did you get this, Your Majesty? Qi Fengpei, Shu Han, and Xiang Yu fought for many years, with 70 big battles and 40 small battles. The people of the world are smeared with liver and brain, and their bones are in the wilderness, crying endlessly, and their eyes are full of devastation. Now you want to be in the Billon Circumference Room? The minister did not agree. That being the case, Luoyang is really not suitable for the capital. And Guanzhong is dangerous, millions of soldiers can be quickly recruited, and there is the wealth of Tianfu. In case of chaos in Shandong, Guanzhong's hometown can protect His Majesty. Therefore, for the sake of His Majesty, it is better to move the capital to Guanzhong"

Lou Jing's words made Liu Bang praise again and again: "I think what you said is very reasonable. But I still have to consult with the ministers to see what they think."

As a result, Liu Bang immediately convened an enlarged meeting to discuss the matter of moving the capital to Guanzhong.

However, when Liu Bang threw out Lou Jing's proposal, almost no one in the Manchu Dynasty agreed to move the capital, for only one reason: "Luoyang, the capital of Zhou, has been passed down for hundreds of years." The Qin capital was Guanzhong, and the second died. Besides, Luoyang has Chenggao in the east, Kuoshan Mianchi in the west, the Yellow River in the north, and Yishui Luoshui in the south. Why do you have to close it all? We are all people from Kanto, and we don't want to go to Guanzhong."

Liu Bang is embarrassed, will this move or not?

So I had to consult Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang's opinion is exactly the same as Lou Jing's: "What the ministers said is certainly right. But Luoyang's land is small and not fertile, and it is surrounded by enemies on all sides, so this is not the place to use. Guanzhong is different, the left Yanhan, the right Longshu, there are natural barriers on three sides, as long as the east is controlled, you can control the world. And there are thousands of miles of fertile fields, with the Rao of Bashu in the south and the benefits of Huyuan in the north. If the princes are stable, the Cao Yun of Hewei can raise the Beijing division with the world. Once the princes change, it is very convenient to go down the river, and it is also very convenient to entrust and lose. That's what really solidifies. So what Lou Jing said is not wrong at all. Please ask Your Majesty to decide to move the capital."

Liu Bang suddenly realized, Liu Bang immediately ordered the capital to be moved, and immediately set off to enter Guanzhong in the west.

Liu Bang's move is fierce enough, he just wants to attack decisively, so as not to let the ministers have the opportunity to squeak and gossip, which harms the country's major affairs.

Hometown is important, and it is also important to honor the ancestors, but the foundation of the Han Dynasty is always the top priority!

So, the generals have no chance to argue, the emperor has played the front and traveled west, do you still dare to stay in Luoyang?

In this way, Liu Bang successfully set the capital of Chang'an.

Lou Jing suggested meritorious service, was named Langzhong, Fengchun Jun, and at the same time gave the surname Liu: Liu Jing, after Li Shiqi, only with a soft tongue, and created a poor man's flying myth, in the history of the Han Dynasty, leaving a strong stroke.
