Peng Yue's death
When Liu Bang went north to conquer Chen Xuan, he ordered Han Xin and Peng Yue to join the expedition. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info unexpectedly, both of them resigned due to serious illness, and Peng Yue only sent a general to Handan with some soldiers.
Liu Bang was very unhappy at that time, and now that the rebellion has been pacified and Han Xin is dead, it is natural that Peng Yue should be cleaned up next.
As a prince, it is natural to obey the orders of the Son of Heaven.
Called sick?
Thinking small is lazy, and thinking deep means confrontation.
Liu Bang had nothing to do in Luoyang City, and he was seriously studying Peng Yue's pathology report.
The results found that the probability of Peng Yue wanting to rebel was much higher than the probability of him getting sick!
At this time, Peng Yue was also actively saving himself.
He was about to go to Luoyang to apologize in person, but was stopped by a general called Hu Xuan, "King Peng, you started not going, now the emperor must be angry, and if you go again, you will definitely be arrested and punished." That Huaiyin Marquis Han Xin is an example. Now, it's better to simply send troops to rebel."
Peng Yue realized the seriousness of the problem, what should he do now?
After repeated weighing, Peng Yue decided: simply pretend to be sick to the end, wait for the opportunity, and see the development of the situation before deciding whether to oppose or not.
However, God did not help Han Xin, nor did it help Peng Yue.
Like Han Xin, Peng Yue's rebellion plan was also leaked.
The servant of Liang didn't know what crime he had committed, and Peng Yue, the king of Liang, wanted to punish him.
In order to save himself, he immediately fled to Luoyang and reported to Liu Bang that Peng Yue and Hu Yu were plotting rebellion.
When Liu Bang heard this, he immediately jumped up, "Okay, Peng Yue, you really want to rebel."
Liu Bang immediately decided to send someone to Liang to arrest Peng Yue and punish him.
But how easy is it to catch Peng Yue?
The trick against Han Xin back then definitely didn't work, and Liu Bang finally decided: send someone to secretly infiltrate Liang and kidnap Peng Yue.
The Han special police team lived up to the emperor's high expectations, and as soon as they infiltrated the Liang Kingdom, they successfully kidnapped Peng Yue and took him to Luoyang.
After arriving in Luoyang, Liu Bang immediately sent someone to start the trial, Peng Yue's rebellion has been revealed, the evidence is conclusive, and it is imperative to destroy the three clans.
But when the final verdict was announced, Liu Bang still hesitated.
After thinking about it, he decided to kill Hu Yue, and let Peng Yue have a way to live, demoted him to a concubine, and moved to Tsing Yi County in Shu County.
On February 20, Liu Bang named his son Liu Hui as the king of Liang, with Suiyang in Dangjun as the capital.
And the original eastern county directly under the central government was included in the territory of the Liang State.
The reason why Liu Bang didn't kill Peng Yue may be that he also realized that Peng Yue may not be the real opposite.
The reason is obvious: if Peng Yue really wants to rebel, when Liu Bang expeditions against Chen Xuan, that is the best time.
But Peng Yue did not move at that time.
There is only one reason for doing this now: to guard against Liu Bang in order to protect himself.
In the cold wind of early spring, Peng Yue walked alone to Shu in the west.
However, when I first walked to Zheng County, I met an old acquaintance who had known each other for many years from Chang'an.
Peng Yue felt as if a drowning man had grasped a life-saving straw.
But the facts have proved that this is a life-saving straw, it is simply a murderous brick!
This person is Lu Pheasant, the queen of the Han Dynasty who just killed Han Xin!
When Peng Yue saw Lu Pheasant, he cried bitterly and told that he didn't have the slightest intention of rebellion, but he was brought to this end by the emperor.
Can you ask the queen to be kind and persuade the emperor to send me back to my hometown, Changyi in Dangjun?
Peng Yue shouted grievances to Empress Lu, which was no less than stretching a soft head into the mouth of a poisonous snake and letting it bite.
Lu Pheasant pretended to have a sympathetic expression on his face and said to Peng Yue, "You go back to Luoyang with me now, and I will go to the emperor to intercede for you."
In this way, Peng Yue followed Empress Lu to Luoyang.
But he didn't expect that after seeing Liu Bang, Empress Lu said something else: "King Peng, a strong man." You exiled him to Shu, this is a legacy of raising tigers! Now that I've deceived him back, it's better to just keep doing nothing, confirm his crime of treason, and destroy his three tribes."
Lu Pheasant's words made Liu Bang suddenly wake up.
Once, Xiang Yu did not listen to Fan Zeng's words and killed him at the Hongmen banquet, so he lost his life and the world.
If he has Xiang Yu's benevolence again today and lets Peng Yue enter Shu, who dares to guarantee that Xiang Yu's tragedy will not be repeated on him?
It seems that Peng Yue will be punished.
But the question is, how to kill it now?
At this time, Lu Pheasant seemed to see Liu Bang's inner entanglement, and she said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, everything can be left to the concubine to operate."
LĂź Pheasant immediately sent someone to falsely accuse Peng Yue of attempting to rebel again, and then sent his confidant Wang Tiankai to try again.
The facts of the case will be 'clear' immediately: Peng Yue's crime is true, and he should be of the three clans.
In March, the cold air was not over, and the spring in Luoyang City was once again shrouded in a layer of cold murderous aura.
The three tribes of Peng Yue were killed, and his body was chopped into meat sauce, and each prince and king gave a copy.
And his head was hung in the downtown of Luoyang to show the public, and Liu Bang also issued an edict "If anyone dares to watch Peng Yue's head, the crime will be the same as Yue"
But what Liu Bang didn't expect was: within a few days, the guards caught a person who was crying under Peng Yue's head on the street, this person was Doctor Liang Guo, Peng Yue's old friend, and Luan Bu, who had recently sent an envoy to Qi State.
Liu Bang was furious: "Don't you know my edict? How dare you openly cry and sacrifice to the thief? Dragged it down and cooked him."
Luan Bu shouted loudly, "Please let your majesty say a word, and the minister will die without hatred"
Liu Bang said, "Although I said it"
Luan Bu talked eloquently, "Your Majesty defeated Pengcheng and was trapped in Xingyang and Chenggao, and the reason why he was able to hold on to Xiang Yu was thanks to King Peng who cut off the grain route of the Chu army in Liangdi. At that time, King Peng moved, and the relationship was not shallow. From Chu is Han broken, and from Han is Chu broken. Besides, in the battle of Qixia, without King Peng leading the troops to come, I am afraid that Xiang Yu will not be easy to die. The world has been decided, King Peng has been sealed, and His Majesty has promised to pass it on for eternity. But now just because the conscription was not available and Peng Yue was sick, His Majesty suspected him of rebellion. Moreover, the extermination of the three clans and the hanging of the head of the flesh will be feared that the heroes will endanger everyone in the future, and if they do not rebel, they will be forced to rebel. All right! The minister's words have been finished, I am willing to follow King Peng to the ground, and Your Majesty will cook me."
Liu Bang saw that Luan Bu was impassioned, and knew that Peng Yue had been wronged, so he hurriedly ordered the warrior to let go of Luan Bu and named him the post of captain.
On the 11th, Liu Bang named his son Liu You as the king of Huaiyang.
Take Chen as the capital.
And Yingchuan County, which originally belonged to South Korea, was included in the territory of Huaiyang State.
In April, Liu Bang returned to Chang'an.
In May, Liu Bang ordered Lu Jia to take the seal ribbon and the dissection charm to Panyu in Nanhai County to canonize Zhao Tuo as the king of Nanyue.
At the time of the great chaos at the end of Qin, Zhao Tuo inherited the will of Ren Huan, occupied the 3 counties of Nanhai, Guilin and Xiang, closed the 3 passes of Hengpu, Yangshan and Huangji, closed himself and established himself as the martial king of Nanyue.
Liu Bang's intention of sending Lu Jia to canonize was to let Zhao Tuo replace him to appease Baiyue and do nothing.
When Liu Bang fought the world, Lu Jia, Sui He and Li Shiqi focused on diplomacy and dominated the world.
At that time, Lu Jia and He reflected it like stars dotting the moon.
It's a pity that the radiant moon disappeared overnight, and in the starry sky of the Han Dynasty's diplomacy, the star of Lu Jia was particularly lonely and dazzling.
In fact, Lu Jia is also a comrade with outstanding political achievements.
After Li Shiqi's death, he did not live in the shadow of the post-Li Shiqi era, on the contrary, he cherished the opportunity given to him by God and opened up a diplomatic era of his own.
The most outstanding achievement that established Lu Jia's diplomatic position in the central Han Dynasty was of course to get Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue.
Liu Bang recognized Zhao Tuo as the king of Nanyue.
Of course, Zhao Tuo must also admit that Liu Bang is the supreme son of heaven, long live peace!
The task of negotiating on behalf of Liu Bang and Zhao Tuo naturally fell on Lu Jia.
The trip to South Vietnam, if the negotiations are successful, is a small step for Lu Jia personally; But for the cause of peace in the Han Dynasty, it was a big step!
But the legendary mission is not a bowl of delicious rice.
When Lu Jia finally climbed the mountain and waded in front of Zhao Tuo, he did not receive the hospitality that the Han envoy deserved, but Zhao Tuo also played the arrogant style of the landlord and put on a cool appearance.
"Historical Records" records that when Zhao Tuo met Lu Jia, his cool appearance was about as follows: combing his hairstyle like an awl, which was popular at the time, and spreading his legs like a dustpan.
Not to mention diplomatic occasions, even ordinary banquets, as long as the king and his ministers pose like this, they are all criticized material.
However, Lu Jia didn't slap the table and scold Zhao Tuo rudely, let alone brush his sleeves away, his professional feeling told him that this was a paper tiger.
Lu Jia first asked Zhao Tuo, "Excuse me, where are you from?"
Zhao Tuo smiled, "I'm from the original"
Lu Jia: "If you are not mistaken, you are just the first generation of immigrants from South Vietnam, and many of your relatives and friends, and even the graves of your ancestors are still in Zhending in the Central Plains."
Zhao Tuo smiled again, "What you said is right, please say something"
Lu Jia "Foot Chinese, do not know etiquette, today anti-nature, abandon the crown belt, do you want to compete with the country of the Son of Heaven with just a place of South Vietnam, aren't you seeking your own destruction?"
Zhao Tuo sneered in his heart: Bullshit etiquette, don't think that Lao Tzu is afraid of you under a guise.
The Son of Heaven is in the north, and Lao Tzu is in the south; As the so-called mountain is high and the emperor is far away, Lao Tzu is bullying you as the envoy of the Han Dynasty, what's the matter?
Lu Jia looked at Zhao Tuo with a look of disdain, and sneered in his heart: Small, change the vest, do you really think that you are the best in the world?
If I don't teach you a lesson today, you really don't know that you are a frog at the bottom of the well.
So, Lu Jia continued to state the benefits, "First of all, you Zhao Tuoniu, you can't beat Qin Shi Huang, right?" But the result? Tyrannical Qin has no way, heroes rise together, Liu Bang entered the customs first, according to Xianyang, and should be the first merit of the dead Qin; and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, who has been fighting with Liu Bang for five years, hasn't he been killed yet? After only five years, the country was reunified. This is not only something that can be achieved by manpower, it is also helping us Liu Bang! I'll tell you honestly: You live in one side, only care about your own enjoyment, and don't help the Son of Heaven to punish the rebellion, and the central government of the Han Dynasty originally wanted to kill you. But the Son of Heaven was concerned that war would hurt the people, so he sent me to canonize you as king. But it's incredible that you don't go out into the wilderness and call yourself a vassal in the north, but are so cool. If the Son of Heaven sees you like this, I believe that he will definitely dig up and burn all the graves of your ancestors in the Central Plains, wipe out the clan, and then order a partial general to lead 100,000 male soldiers to come to conquer, that is to believe: the officials and people of South Vietnam will also resent you together, so it will not be easy to get rid of you."
True diplomacy is always to grasp the sword and show the olive branch.
The olive branch is not good, but the way of the sword.
You Zhao Tuo, don't grow your eyes behind your buttocks, and make low-level mistakes with your eyes wide open.
In fact, Zhao Tuo just wanted to play prestige in front of Lu Jia, rub some face, and have a good time.
However, Lu Jia's words immediately made him wake up, it turned out that some cool things were really unbelievable!
Zhao Tuo suddenly woke up, reversed his arrogance, and immediately jumped up and saluted Lu Jia and said, "I'm really embarrassed, I didn't act cool, I just lived in a barbarian land for a long time and forgot all about the etiquette of the Central Plains."
Well, if it is your attitude of admitting your mistakes, Lu Jia nodded with satisfaction.
However, some vanities of fame and fame, like the moon in the sky, obviously can't be picked, but there are still people who want to look up to the moon and sigh, or bow their heads to the moon in the water.
Zhao Tuo is such a person, he is cool and powerful, and he wants more than the hat of the king of Nanyue that the Han Dynasty gave him that originally belonged to him.
What he wants most now is an answer: Who is more powerful than me and the gang of bigwigs in the Han Dynasty?
So Zhao Tuo asked Lu Jia, "According to you, who is more virtuous than Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Han Xin?"
Lu Jia smiled in his heart, this question is very simple, don't you King Nanyue just want to say that he is better than the three heroes of the Han Dynasty.
Then give you this face, Lu Jia smiled slightly, and replied, "Compared to them, you seem to be a little stronger"
It's just that Lu Jia didn't expect that Zhao Tuo would take advantage of the excitement to ask, "So, compared with Liu Bang, who is more virtuous?"
The so-called diplomacy is flexible and changeable within the framework of unchanged principles.
Keeping the emperor first in the world is not only a problem of the emperor, but also a problem of the country, which cannot be discussed at all.
Zhao Tuo, Zhao Tuo, I really don't know if you want to test the strength of the Han Dynasty or Lu Jia?
I, Lu Jia, have to tell you clearly now: It's okay to wear a top hat if you want to, but if you want me to say that you are stronger than the emperor, no way!
Lu Jia gushed endlessly and told Zhao Tuo a lot of truths, which can be summed up as: Liu Bang started recklessly, until he dominated the world, and made the Han Dynasty bigger and stronger, he was the first person in ancient and modern times, and he was a real born dragon!
Compared with him, you are like a river seeing the sea, and the hills looking at the high mountains, and you are not worthy of comparison at all!
Lu Jiayi looked stern, Zhao Tuo was shocked, and hurriedly said, "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously"
Then Zhao Tuo raised his glass to persuade the wine and played a round by himself.
Some people, just like water and milk, if they don't meet, they will be inseparable, and water and milk intersect.
For Zhao Tuo, Lu Jia is the person he met and hated late.
He is generally knowledgeable, flexible, sycophant, and can speak.
As a result, Lu Jia sent an envoy to South Vietnam, and finally turned out to come to South Vietnam for vacation.
A few months later, Zhao Tuo reluctantly let Lu Jia return.
Before leaving, Zhao Tuo gave Lu Jia a daughter, which was full of a sack; At the same time, he will give goods and goods worth thousands of gold.
If you don't use one sentence to describe Lu Jia's trip, there are only four words: return with a full load!
Lu Jia's merit returned successfully, Liu Bang was happy, and he was named the Taizhong doctor.
