On May 17, Liu Bang was buried in Changling, 35 miles north of Chang'an City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info On the 20th, the 17-year-old prince Liu Ying officially succeeded to the throne as Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, and respected his biological mother Lu Pheasant as the queen mother.

The edict issued with the accession of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty set a precedent for the bestowal of knighthood on new monarchs in Chinese history.

This time, the knighthood is very wide: first, the world's men are universally knighted; The second is to give the emperor around the attendant knight three, second, and first, and those who do not meet the qualifications to give the knighthood will be given 10,000 yuan, which shows that the early Han Dynasty attached great importance to the title, and the first-class title is more valuable than 10,000 yuan; the third is to give the officials of the prince's mansion the second degree; the fourth is to give money to officials at all levels who participate in the funeral; Finally, it provides for preferential treatment of knights in criminal law.

It is worth noting that in this knighthood, eunuchs also have a part.

It shows that from the beginning of the Han Dynasty, eunuchs can get knighthoods.

At this time, Chen Ping was escorting Fan Xu on the way back to Chang'an.

Suddenly, a man stopped him in the middle of the road and told him that the emperor had died.

Before his death, he issued an edict that you don't have to go back to Chang'an, go to Xingyang to help the baby be guarded there.

Chen Ping was immediately stupid when he heard it!

After he reacted, he immediately rushed towards Chang'an at a speed like the wind... The reason why Chen Ping was so frightened was because he was afraid of death.

He had to be afraid of death, because the Fan Xu he arrested was the brother-in-law of the current Queen Mother.

What if Lu Pheasant's sister and Fan Xu's wife Lu Xiao want to take revenge?

The more Chen Ping thought about it, the more terrifying he became, if he didn't go back to Chang'an and explain the arrest of Fan Hao to the Lu Hou sisters, then he would have to wait to be knifed.

But the edict told him to change his route to Xingyang, what should he do now?

Chen Ping thought about it and made a risky decision: don't go to Xingyang, go back to Chang'an alone!

So Chen Ping rushed all the way into Chang'an, went straight to the palace, and cried in front of Liu Bangling.

At this time, Empress Lu came out and asked how Fan Xu was?

Chen Ping said in detail, and explained that he was in a hurry to mourn, and Fan Hao was behind, and he would arrive soon.

Empress Lu relieved herself and let Chen Ping go down to rest.

Chen Ping refused and insisted on staying in the palace to guard.

Lvhou Dayue named Chen Ping as Lang Zhongling on the spot, and served as the master of the young master Liu Ying.

Here, Chen Ping just thanked him and withdrew to go to the guard, and Lu Xiao entered the palace to complain.

However, everything was in Chen Ping's hands, and Lu Xiao couldn't do it.

After that, Fan Hao arrived, and Empress Lu issued a pardon order to restore his lordship.

Chen Ping finally escaped from danger with superhuman wisdom and wrote a legendary life, which is really not easy.

But the next person did not have such a high level of wisdom, and could only leave behind the most tragic tragedy in Chinese history.

As soon as Empress Lu took power, she launched a crazy revenge against Qi Ji.

ordered Qi Ji's hair to be pulled out, put on prison clothes, imprisoned in Yongxiang, and ordered to Chung Mi.

At this time, if Qi Ji has a little wisdom, she will behave in a proper manner, pretend to be pitiful and win the sympathy of others, even if she will die in the end, it should not be as miserable as 'Renbi', right?

It's a pity she didn't.

Qi Ji used singing to vent her complaints: the son is the king, and the mother is the captive.

All day long, often with death!

Three thousand miles apart, who should tell you?

Qi Ji wants to tell the world through this singing: My son is the king of Zhao, but I, a mother, have become a prisoner.

Every day, I cook rice until dark, and I am in the company of death.

Son, who can tell you what is going on when you are so far from me?

But Qi Ji, why don't you think about it: since no one can tell your son who is 3,000 miles away about your current miserable situation, then who are you singing this song to?

Is the person closest to you who keeps an eye on you more likely to hear the song than your son?

Sure enough, this song reached Lu Pheasant's ears, and as expected, the Queen Mother was angry, "Do you still want to rely on your son to save you?" Dream on."

Lu Pheasant immediately issued an edict: send an envoy to summon Liu Ruyi, the king of Zhao, to return to Chang'an!

However, the envoy soon returned to Chang'an to report that someone was blocking him alive and dead, and did not let King Zhao return to Chang'an.

There's nothing we can do.

When the messenger reported the name of the person who stood in the way, Lu Pheasant found himself as helpless as the messenger.

That's right!

The person who dares not to obey the edict is none other than Zhao Xiang Zhou Chang!

When Liu Ying was able to keep the crown prince, Zhou Chang made a great effort, and Lu Pheasant owed him a great favor.

In the face of his block, the helpless Lu Pheasant had no choice but to grind to the end with him, and continued to send messengers to pass the edict... The two sides fought many times, and when Zhou Chang saw that the court envoys who no longer knew how many times they came to Handan again, it was estimated that he was also annoyed, so he simply opened the skylight and said brightly, "The first emperor told me to protect King Zhao well before his death. I know that the current Queen Mother hates Mrs. Qi and Queen Zhao's mother and son. This edict was clearly ill-intentioned, and the minister had the heavy responsibility of protecting him, so he did not dare to send King Zhao back to Beijing. And King Zhao is indeed sick, and he can't be edicted."

At this point, Empress Lu finally understood: According to the current situation, in order to deal with Liu Ruyi, the king of Zhao, it is necessary to first settle Zhao Xiang Zhou Chang.

So Lu Pheasant changed his strategy and ordered the messenger to summon Zhou Chang back to Beijing to give a lecture.

King Zhao is blocked, so he doesn't have to go back to Beijing.

But Zhou Chang couldn't help but return.

According to the system of the early Han Dynasty, the princes and kings could appoint all officials in their own kingdoms, except for the prime minister, who had to be appointed by the central government.

It is up to the central authorities to decide where to go.

Zhou Chang obediently returned to Chang'an.

As soon as Lu Pheasant saw him, he scolded him, "Don't you know that I resent Qi Ji?" Why did I summon King Zhao many times, but you blocked me?"

Zhou Changsheng stuttered, and this matter didn't make sense, so he simply kept silent and let Lu Hou scold.

Lu Pheasant finally finished scolding and ordered Zhou Chang to stay in Chang'an and not go anywhere!

The reason why Lu Pheasant didn't let Zhou Chang go back was that the messenger she sent again was on the way to Handan.

Because Zhou Chang was not there, Liu Ruyi had no one to call the shots, so he had to follow the messenger on the road and come to Chang'an.

This is the day I was waiting for!

Lu Pheasant sharpened his knife Huo Huo, just waiting for Liu Ruyi to come to the door to try the knife!

But at this time, there was a surprising news: King Zhao had arrived in Beijing.

But he didn't enter the city, and he was picked up in Bashang.

When the messenger said the name of the person who picked up Liu Ruyi, Lu Pheasant couldn't believe his ears: Did this kid take the wrong medicine?

How did you do this?

The person who killed and picked up King Zhao halfway was Liu Ying, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty!

Things in the world are incredible.

Liu Bang and Lu Pheasant, who killed people without blinking, actually gave birth to a benevolent and benevolent Liu Ying.

Liu Ying personally went out to take the half-brother back to his bedroom.

Just in case, Liu Ying turned Liu Ruyi into her own shadow, and let Liu Ruyi follow her wherever she went.

Eat at the same table and sleep in the same bed.

Lu Pheasant forbearance!

If nothing else, if you send someone to poison Liu Ruyi, it is likely that even Liu Ying will be poisoned to death.

For the sake of safety, she had to send someone to watch her day and night, waiting for the perfect opportunity to get off the phone.

The hard work paid off, and this opportunity to kill people was finally waited for by Empress Lu.

One day in December of the first year of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty (BC195), Liu Ying got up early and wanted to go hunting in the suburbs.

But the young Liu Ruyi was greedy for sleep and loved the bed and was reluctant to go out.

Liu Ying had no choice but to leave him in the palace to rest and go out of the city to hunt by himself.

The genius Meng Mengliang, Emperor Han Hui, who was not worried about his brother's safety, rushed back to the palace, and everything in front of him shocked him - Liu Ruyi, the king of Zhao, had died in bed!

It turned out that the emperor had just gone out of the city to hunt on the front foot, and the queen mother received information on the back foot and immediately sent someone to poison Liu Ruyi with wine.

After that, Liu Ying made his other younger brother, Liu Youxi, the king of Huaiyang, the king of Zhao.

After Lu Pheasant got Liu Ruyi, the next step was to torture Qi Ji.

In Chinese history, harem battles were even more brutal and bloody than the battles for the throne.

But what Lu Pheasant did to Mrs. Qi was a cruel torture that was unique and unheard of in history!

If you want to say that there is only one thing that can barely match it in the history after that, there is only Wu Zetian's 'bone drunkenness' on Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu.

Lu Pheasant ordered someone to cut off Qi Ji's hands and feet, so that she could no longer dance; then gouged out her eyes, so that she could no longer secretly send Qiu Bo; Then she deaf her ears so that she could no longer hear the voices of this world; After that, she was poured dumb medicine, so that she could no longer sing the sound of heaven; In the end, he threw such Mrs. Qi into the toilet, and took the insulting name "Renbi"

Pig is pig.

Birds and beasts can't do it, but Lu Pheasant did it 'flawlessly'!

A few days later, Lu Pheasant also asked someone to take Liu Ying to Yongxiang to visit her 'great masterpiece' Liu Ying saw this bloody and still wriggling thing in the toilet, and asked left and right, "What is that?"

Left and right answered truthfully, "Mrs. Renqi"

Liu Ying couldn't believe her eyes, she was so frightened that she cried on the spot, and vomited all the way back to the palace.

Back in the palace, Liu Ying immediately sent someone to convey the message to the Queen Mother, "This is not something that people can do at all." As your son, I have nothing to do with you, what else can I talk about governing the world? In the future, you will be in charge of all the government affairs."

Since then, Liu Ying said that she was sick, indulged in wine all day long, and degenerated into the world... Sima Qian's "Historical Records" therefore believes that Liu Ying, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, did not rule the world at all, so he did not set up "Emperor Hui Benji" but only "Gaohou Benji".

Sima Guang commented in "Zizhi Tongjian": "Those who are sons of men, their parents will admonish them." If you don't listen to the advice, you cry and follow. An has the business of guarding the ancestors and being the lord of the world, and he can't bear the cruelty of his mother, so he abandons the country and does not care for it, and indulges in alcohol to hurt his life? If filial piety is benevolent, it can be said that he is devoted to small benevolence and does not know the great friendship."

In December, Empress Lu issued an edict: give each household a first-class knight.

If the people are guilty, they can buy a knight level 30 to avoid capital crimes.

This edict set a precedent for later generations to sell their lords to atone for their sins.

At that time, the first rank was worth two thousand.

That is to say: a person who has committed a capital crime only needs to pay 60,000 yuan to buy a 30-level knight, and he can be exempted from the capital crime.

Interestingly, in this edict, the government did not directly ask for money, but first bought the knight and then avoided death, which seems to be intended to increase the value of the title.

In January of the first year of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty (BC194), Empress Lü began to levy and send people to build the capital Chang'an.

In 194 BC, although the rebellion of Lu Juan, the king of Yan in the previous year, ended in vain, the northeast region had been in trouble.

When the news reached the Korean Peninsula, people were panicked for a while.

Seeing that the opportunity had come, Wei Man applied to the Korean king Jijoon to lead the army back to Pyongyang to defend the capital with all his might.

Kei believed it, so Wei Man took his army, which had been training on the border for several years, and marched towards Pyongyang... When the soldiers came to the city, Wei Man immediately turned his face and ordered to attack Pyongyang!

In desperation, Ji Zhun abandoned the city and fled to the southern part of the Korean Peninsula.

In this way, the 850-year-old Mizi Joseon perished, and Wei Man established the Wei Joseon, which had been in power for 86 years.

In the southern part of the peninsula, Ji Zhun nominally unified the three major tribes of Mahan, Chenhan, and Benhan, and proclaimed himself the king of Han.

For the first time on the Korean Peninsula, there was a north-south confrontation between Wei's Korea and Mino's South Korea... It is said that the reign of Minzi Korea continued for more than 100 years before it became extinct because it had no descendants (it is said that it was annexed by Baekje) If you count it as such, this line of the Yin Shang Dynasty on the Korean Peninsula lasted for thousands of years!

not only waited for the destruction of the number one enemy, the Ji Zhou Dynasty, but also waited for the destruction of the second enemy, Wei Dynasty.

That's what the so-called 'I can't beat you, but I can beat you'.

After Wei Man seized power, he took the initiative to proclaim himself a vassal to the Han court.

Empress Lü and Emperor Hui of Han also recognized the identity of this Joseon king as a 'foreign minister of the Han Dynasty'.

In the 2nd year of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty (BC194), in October of the New Year, Liu Jiao, the king of Chu, and Liu Fei, the king of Qi, came to the dynasty.

Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty treated the King of Qi as a brother, entered the palace to meet the Queen Mother, and sat on it.

Lu Pheasant was unhappy in his heart, and he used to kill again, wanting to kill Liu Fei.

So at the banquet, the Queen Mother prepared two wines to force King Qi to celebrate her birthday.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Han Hui on the side also picked up the wine and wanted to toast to the Queen Mother with his half-brother.

Empress Lu's complexion changed on the spot, and she snatched the wine from Liu Ying's hand and poured it on the ground.

When Liu Fei, the king of Qi, saw this scene, the governor was strange, and he stopped drinking, pretending to be drunk, and thanked him for retreating.

After coming back, Liu Fei secretly sent someone to inquire, and knew that it was actually two wines, and he couldn't help but be horrified.

What should I do if I think that I will be spared for a while, but I am afraid that I will not be able to get out of it?

At this time, his internal history offered him a plan: Princess Lu Yuan is the beloved daughter of the Queen Mother, and the king might as well recognize his sister as his mother, and then cede some land as Princess Lu Yuan's Tang Muyi.

As long as the princess is happy, there is hope for the king to return to the Qi Kingdom.

Liu Fei acted according to the plan and identified his half-sister Princess Lu Yuan as the queen mother of the king of Qi, and dedicated Chengyang County to Tang Muyi.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother was overjoyed, and then returned to Qi safely.

On January 4, the 2nd year of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty (BC193), two dragons appeared in the well of a common man's house in Lanling County, Donghai County.

Disappeared on the night of the 6th.

Immediately after, an earthquake occurred in Longxi County.

Then, in the summer, a great drought enveloped the Central Plains... In the eyes of the ancients, all the ominous signs of nature were more or less intrinsically connected with man.

Sure enough, in the summer of this year, Liu Bang's second brother Liu Zhong died.

Immediately after, Xiao He was seriously ill in bed, dying, and only one breath was left.

Liu Ying heard that Xiao He was seriously ill and came to visit him in person.

Liu Ying asked Xiao He, who was seriously ill, "Who can take over after a hundred years?"

Xiao He replied, "Knowing the minister is not as good as the lord"

At this time, Liu Ying suddenly remembered the last words of the first emperor, so he asked, "Is it okay for Cao Shen?"

As soon as Liu Ying's words fell, Xiao He suddenly got up and said suddenly, "Your Majesty, you really found the right person." The minister is dead and has no hatred."
