Public security measures

If Jia Yi, who was far away in Liang at the time, saw Liu Heng's letter to the state, perhaps he would immediately shout to the sky, "Depressed!" It's just so unreasonable."

Facts have proved that Jia Yi's shouting and beating is not entirely unreasonable.

Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Liu Heng and Mao Dun had just finished a sweet political honeymoon, and Mao Dun Shan Yu actually made a world in advance and went to the west of the crane.

Of course, Mao Dun's son Ji Congee took over and became the Hun Da Dan Yu, and the old man was on the Dan Yu.

And the one who brought the most annoying to the Han Dynasty was this old Shangshan Yu!

Let's recall how Lou Jing said to Liu Bang when he advocated peace: "If you want the border of the Han Dynasty to be fine, you can only hope for the descendants of Mao Dun." Because Mao Dun married the wife of the Han Dynasty, the son born to Mao Dun was the grandson of the Han Dynasty, how could a grandson beat his grandfather ruthlessly"

If Lou Jing was still alive, he would immediately find out: This is a big!

Because the real situation is: Lao Shangshan Yu not only wants to beat his grandfather in the Han Dynasty, but even beat you without discussion!

The Xiongnu Xinshan took office, and the Han Dynasty had to be busy again.

Although by treaty, the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu were brothers; In terms of generation, the Han Dynasty was the foreign family of the Xiongnu.

But the Han Dynasty knew in his heart that the treaty could not be eaten as food, and foreigners could not be drunk as honey.

Those who should be co-opted have to be co-opted.

Just like the matter of harmony, we must continue to pursue it to the end!

Therefore, as soon as the old Shangshan took office, Liu Heng was busy choosing the owner.

The so-called lord is the daughter of the prince of the clan.

Of course, Liu Heng was reluctant to give up his daughter.

But what Liu Heng never imagined was that this election of the owner of Weng actually selected China's first big traitor who left his name in the annals of history!

This person, the eunuch and the Yan people said in the bank!

At that time, the situation was like this: when the lord of Weng got married, the Bank of China said that he didn't know what bad luck had fallen, but the leaders of the relevant departments of the Han Dynasty took a fancy to him and asked him to marry the Xiongnu.

The Bank of China said that it was strongly dissatisfied with this, and he begged his head to "I don't want to go, can I send someone else"

The answer from above was, "No!" You have to go if you don't want to."

The helpless Bank of China said that he was stupid and went on the road, and before leaving, he said, "The Han court does not care about me, and it is not to blame me for helping Hu harm the Han in the future."

Sure enough, the Bank of China said that as soon as it arrived at the Xiongnu, it immediately surrendered to Lao Shangdanyu.

And the first thing he did was to help the Xiongnu to de-sinicize "The Xiongnu people are not as good as a large county in the Han Dynasty, but now they can dominate one side, just because they don't have to rely on the Han for food and clothing, so they can stand on their own feet."

So I wore it, and the Huns loved the silk of the Han Dynasty at that time.

However, the Bank of China said, "Don't catch up with the trend of the Han Dynasty, this toy is not durable, and it needs to be imported from the Han Dynasty, and it is a taboo for the country to authorize the handle." Therefore, you should wear the traditional felt carpet and leather robe of the Xiongnu"

For food, the Huns like to eat Han Dynasty food, but the Bank of China said that "those toys in the Han Dynasty are not delicious, so they should all be abandoned and drink Xiongnu traditional cheese"

Such as marriage customs, the Han Dynasty people believed that the Xiongnu father and son slept in the same yurt, the father died, and the son married the stepmother; When a brother dies, a living brother marries the wife of the deceased, etc., these are all uncivilized, so why not get rid of these bad habits?

The Bank of China said that it taught the Han Dynasty people a lesson: "You have seen too little, right? The reason why the Huns did this was to express their brotherhood, do you understand?"

For example, the letter of state written by the Han Dynasty to the Xiongnu was one foot and one inch long, and it was written that "the Han Emperor respectfully asked the Xiongnu Dashan to be safe"

The national letter of the Xiongnu did not have a certain system.

The Bank of China preached that the standard of the national letter made by the old Shangshan Yu was one foot two inches long, and the seal was wider than the national letter of the Han Dynasty, which wrote "born of heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon placed the Xiongnu Dashan in respect of the Han Emperor to be safe"

The Bank of China said that the de-sinicization campaign and the maintenance of Xiongnu customs with such fanfare were nothing more than to prevent the Xiongnu from becoming dependent on the Han Dynasty.

Needless to say, he did all this for only one purpose: to kill people with a knife to relieve his hatred!

From this point of view, the time when the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty turned their faces again will no longer be far away!

In the 7th year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (BC173), although Jia Yi was treated so unfairly, in Changsha, Jia Yi also wrote "Hanging Qu Yuan Fu" and "Serving Bird Fu", which was a record of his personal desolation.

Now that time has passed, the shadow left by the bird that fell on the seat has gradually faded.

On the contrary, Jia Yi began to study diligently in the new position of Liang Taifu, and finally wrote a shocking political commentary.

This is the famous "Public Security Policy".

sprinkled more than 10,000 words, pointing out that there is one thing that should be wept bitterly today: the kings are divided, and the power is difficult to control; There are two things that should be runny: the Huns plundered, and the royal insult lacked talent; There are six things that should sigh for a long time: extravagance, disorderly dignity and humility, lack of propriety and righteousness, incorruptibility, the prince's loss of religion, and the loss of his subordinates.

We have to talk about this political treatise, because it has a great deal to do with the later rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms.

Jia Yi's inner drive for creating "Public Security Policy" originated from the rebellion between Liu Xingju and Liu Chang.

Engaging in historical research has always been Jia Yi's specialty.

Jia Yi summed up a classic historical experience from the rebellion of Liu Xingju and Liu Chang, and put forward a plan to solve the rebellion of the princes and kings once and for all.

Jia Yi's summary of historical experience is: In the footsteps of history, all powerful feudal countries must be the first to rebel!

Jia Yi, the "strong man first rebels"

The corollary is roughly as follows: the ambition of the rebel is always proportional to the strength.

For example, the king of Changsha, the reason why he has become the only surviving king with a different surname is mainly because of his small strength, and the situation does not allow him to have excessive ambitions.

Therefore, their only way to survive is to be loyal to the central government and bow down to orders.

For example, Zhou Bo, Guan Ying, and Fan Hao did not oppose at the beginning, mainly because of their lack of strength.

If Liu Bang made them princes and kings, he would definitely become careerists and eventually be killed by the central government.

Further afield, among the princes and kings with different surnames in the early Han Dynasty, the figures who rebelled in turn were Han Xin, Peng Yue, Yingbu, and Lu Xuan.

Among these four people, Han Xin was the strongest, so he reversed first; Lu Juan was the weakest, so the rebellion was at the end.

So, in response to this lesson, is there a feasible plan to make the princes and kings be obedient and good kings like the king of Changsha?

Jia Yi's answer is yes: the way is to weaken the power of the vassal states!

Cutting power is a high-level game in the national game second only to foreign wars, and it is also a kind of gambling with a large stakes.

If the scale is not grasped well, the country will be ruined, and even the emperor's old capital will be lost.

But Jia Yi will tell you: his plan to cut power will not have the above sensational bloodshed.

In Jia Yi's view, as long as the feudal state is vigorously implemented, the power of the vassal states will definitely become weaker and weaker in the long run.

The reason is very simple: the feudal country is like a cake, and it begins to be taken care of by the ancestors alone; The ancestors gave birth to two sons, so after the implementation of the sub-sealing system, the cake had to be cut in half; The two sons each gave birth to two grandchildren, and the cake continued to be cut in half... Inheriting the inheritance by cutting the cake is in line with the Chinese thinking.

The advantage of this is: you have food, I have food, and everyone has food.

Only in this way can we achieve the concept of governing the country of the Qi family put forward by the sage of Confucius.

As a result, the princes and grandsons within the feudal kingdom benefited, and the emperor got cheaper.

In this way, there is only one result: the center is getting stronger and stronger, and the princes are getting weaker and weaker.

Want to rebel?

Weigh yourself first!

One might ask: What if the vassal states unite to rebel?

Don't worry too much about this question.

Chinese history proves that the so-called joint rebellion must first consider the issue of partition.

The rebellion of one prince and king is death, and the rebellion of ten princes and kings is also death; But if a prince-king rebels successfully, he gets a large piece; If ten princes and kings rebel together, they will get only one-tenth of it.

The cost of paying is not proportional to the profit and will definitely scare off these people.

The probability of rebellion or success is greatly reduced.

Some people may ask: If a vassal state has poor reproductive ability and too few descendants, it still accounts for a large share.

What to do about such a situation?

Don't worry, Jia Yi has already made careful arrangements for this question.

Jia Yi believed that if this situation occurred, he should retain his feudal state, but he must vacate the throne and have the prime minister sent by the central government preside over the state administration, and wait until they have more children and grandchildren before authorizing them.

The above plan, if not described in one sentence: it is too talented.

However, it is a pity that Liu Heng did not adopt this suggestion at this time.

Another suggestion made in the "Public Security Policy" was adopted: to encourage deposed princes or vassals to commit suicide.

The reason why Liu Heng accepted Jia Yi's suggestion was because he had suffered a loss before.

For example, if Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, had been encouraged to commit suicide before he was detained, then he would not have been named as a murderer; Another example is the arrest of Zhou Bo, if you are smart and instigate him to commit suicide, there will be no embarrassing incident of Empress Dowager Bo throwing his headscarf and scolding him, let alone a bad image of a monarch who is a cunning rabbit dies and a lackey cooks.

I wrote so many policy theories, but I only used one!

In the face of the cruel reality, the unfair fate and all kinds of bad luck seem to unite to kill this young genius Jia Yi... Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, who committed suicide, left behind four sons.

For example, Liu Heng felt guilty about his brother's death and sincerely apologized; Then the title of King of Huainan should fall to any of these four children.

But in fact, on May 11, the 8th year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (BC172), Liu Heng only made all the four sons of Liu Chang marquis, not kings: Liu An, Marquis of Fuling, Liu Bo, Marquis of Anyang, Liu Ci, Marquis of Yangzhou, and Liu Liang, Marquis of Dongcheng.

Of course, Jia Yi is against the feudal marquis, and Jia Yi means that these four children should be allowed to be people with peace of mind.

Don't talk about the king, even the marquis should not be sealed.

But Liu Heng didn't listen.

But the eyes of the masses are bright.

Soon, Liu Heng suddenly heard a piercing ballad, "A foot of cloth can still be sewn; A bucket of millet is still acceptable; The two brothers are incompatible."

This ballad is of course the best interpretation of Liu Heng's killing of his brother, and it is also the last thing Liu Heng wants to hear.

For Liu Heng: He wants to wash away the sins of his soul, what a long road it will be!

In Jia Yi's "Public Security Policy", once the minister is guilty, he encourages suicide.

But he didn't expect that the person Liu Heng chose turned out to be his uncle Bo Zhao!

Here's the thing: In the 10th year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (BC170), Bo Zhao somehow killed a Han envoy, so Liu Heng arrested him and asked him for the crime.

However, Liu Heng couldn't bear to do it himself, so he sent a bunch of ministers to Bo Zhao's house to drink with him, and hinted: Give you good food and drink, I just hope you don't go hungry underground, please do it yourself!

Bo Zhao was stunned: Good guy, you actually came to encourage me to commit suicide!

Want me to kill myself?

Two words: no way!

So, the ministers only saw Bo Zhao drinking wine and dancing, but they didn't see him swinging a knife and cutting his neck, and they didn't even see him pretending to be one!

Why is it so difficult to implement a beautiful concept!

So Liu Heng thought of another trick and ordered the civil and military officials to wear filial piety clothes and go to Bo Zhao's house to cry loudly.

The reason that a bunch of living people crying for a living person is that you have to decide on your own, is too obvious.

Bo Zhao was desperate and had to commit suicide!

Liu Heng thinks: Encourage criminals to commit suicide, and he can escape a bad reputation?

But in fact, there are still people in later generations who attack this practice of Emperor Wen of Han, and even think that such a practice is stupid!

For example, Sima Guang believes that when Liu Chang and Bo Zhao were alive, they were both favored by Liu Heng.

If Liu Heng knew that prevention was better than prevention, how could there be two tragedies one after another?

Jia Yi's bad days after becoming the prince of Liang Huai did not stop.

An unfair fate, once again with bad luck to destroy this young genius!

In June of the 11th year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (BC169), an unexpected incident occurred, Liu Yi, the king of Liang Huai, was riding a horse and accidentally fell down and died.

When he died, he didn't have time to leave a successor.

What did Liu Heng say to Jia Yi at the beginning: Train my beloved little son well.

Could it be that Jia Yi's training is such a result?

Of course, falling off a horse and dying, it was an accident, how does it have anything to do with the teacher?

But Jia Yi publicly said, "As a master, I am guilty"

This is the sin of the soul that can never be redeemed, not even the most tears!

Jia Yi wrote the last chapter in his life: Please set up the queen for the king of Liang, and set up the favorite of Queen Dou, your second son Liu Wu.

He also said that Huaiyang was too small, so it was better to cancel it and divide the land to Liang and Huainan.

Liu Heng accepted Jia Yi's dying wish and made Liu Wuxi, the king of Huaiyang, the king of Liang, the king of Taishan, the north bounded by Mount Tai, the west to Gaoyang, and more than 40 cities in Daxian County.

He also made Liu Xixi, the king of Chengyang, the king of Huainan.
