The beginning of spring belongs to wood, but those who give birth to wood must also water, so the rain that follows spring is born. And when the east wind thaws, it disperses and becomes rain. With the arrival of the second solar term "rain", the weather gradually warmed up, and the first spring rain came.

In the side hall of Changle Palace, the wine banquet is in full swing. The Queen Mother specially summoned the crown prince Liu Che and the king of Liang Liu Wu today and held a small family banquet. Emperor Jing didn't get involved, but secretly sent someone to inform Liu Che that he would go to Weiyang Palace after the banquet.

Liu Che didn't know the Queen Mother's intentions, it was nothing more than to resolve his old feud with King Liang. In fact, Liu Che did not have much disgust with Liu Wu, the king of Liang, no matter how arrogant he was, he was always a tragic figure who was played by his brother Emperor Jing.

Empress Dowager Dou has two sons, the eldest son is Emperor Jing Liu Qi, and the youngest son is Liu Wu, King of Liang. Liu Che traveled through the Han Dynasty for 12 years and personally experienced royal affairs, only to understand that the reason why Empress Dowager Dou favored Liu Wu and defended him everywhere was not only because Liu Wu was the youngest son, but also because she deeply understood that Liu Wu had always been teased by Emperor Jing but did not know it.

Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, Empress Dowager Dou discovered early on that the surnames of these two brothers were different from those of Emperor Wen of Han. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty treated people generously and yearned for order and civilization, but his two sons were brave and resolute, and their surnames were fierce. As a mother, Empress Dowager Dou naturally knew that Emperor Jing Liu Qi was calm and ruthless, and was rigid and self-serving, while Liu Wu, the king of Liang, was sincere and straightforward, and was vain and filial.

As early as when Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was alive, the crown prince Liu Qi was not used to the arrogance of Wu Chu and other vassal states. Once when he was playing chess with the prince of Wu, the prince Liu Qi lost, and in a fit of rage, he picked up the chessboard and smashed the prince of Wu to death, thus forming a grudge with Liu Wei, the king of Wu. The state of Chu is the king of Chu Yuan Liu Jiao, who likes poetry and books, the prince Liu Qi looks down on scholars, and the king of Chu Liu Wu also looks down on Liu Qi who does not learn and has no skills.

After the death of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, and he no longer implemented the policy of "turning the people into virtues" of Empress Dowager Bo, but instead planned to solve the problem of princes and kings militarily. He first united with his younger brother Liu Wu, the king of Liang, and went in and out with Liu Wu in the same car, and also said that he would pass the throne to Liu Wu after his death. Although Liu Wu didn't believe it, he was inevitably happy in his heart.

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty saw that Liu Wu was already inclined towards him, so he adopted Chao Cuo's suggestion and began to "cut the feudal domain" and forced Wu Chu and other countries to rebel. Liu Bi, the king of Wu, was a gentleman, and he couldn't see Emperor Jing's plan at all, so they really rebelled. Liu Wu, the king of Liang, sent tens of thousands of troops, under the leadership of Han Anguo and Zhang Yu, to defend desperately, and the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu could not be attacked for a long time.

It was not until Wu Chuqi's [***] grain was exhausted and internal contradictions appeared that the Western Han Dynasty political axe army commanded by Zhou Yafu launched an attack, and the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms was pacified in three months. The number of rebels killed by the Liang army was roughly equal to that of the Han army, and Liu Wu, the king of Liang, played a major role in quelling the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms.

Liu Wu, who was proud of his achievements, didn't know that in the Wuchu Rebellion, Emperor Jing originally planned to get rid of him by the hands of the rebels, so he ordered Zhou Yafu to stay put. However, all this could not be concealed from the Empress Dowager Dou, who had insight into the world, and her deep sense of powerlessness and panic about her brother's cannibalism led her to play a bad move, trying to push King Liang to the position of prince, so that Emperor Jing would not be able to attack his younger brother again, but not only did she fail, but it became more and more determined that Emperor Jing was quick to kill him.

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, the Empress Dowager Dou, who was powerful in the past, is a poor mother at this time, trying to grasp any life-saving straw and save her young son's life. So there was a family banquet today, and the reason why she didn't invite Emperor Jing was precisely because she hoped that the crown prince Liu Che and Liu Wu, the king of Liang, could sit down alone and resolve the old grudge, so that Emperor Jing could let go of the idea of killing his brother.

After three rounds of drinking, Empress Dowager Dou saw that her uncle and nephew were talking happily, so she immediately got up and left the table, and said with a smile: "The mourning family is a little tired, go and rest for a while." You are not allowed to leave, and I will have to talk to you later. ”

The queen mother beckoned, and the palace people all followed her towards the apse, and only Liu Wu and Liu Che's uncle and nephew were left in the empty side hall. The two were silent, each tasting the wine and food on the table, and seemed to have forgotten the existence of the other.

After a long time, Liu Wu, who was straightforward, seemed to be a little unable to hold back, snorted coldly, and slammed the wine bottle on the case.

Liu Che sighed slightly, and took the lead in breaking the silence and said, "Doesn't the imperial uncle still understand the hard work of the imperial grandmother?" Still don't understand what your father means? ”

Liu Wu's face turned pale, and he said coldly: "This king treats Your Majesty with sincerity, but Your Majesty does not treat me with sincerity, is it still the king's fault?!" ”

Liu Che didn't have the slightest scruples, and his jaw head agreed: "Uncle Huang is straightforward and open-minded, and the lonely king is also very admired. It's a pity that Uncle Huang was a little late in understanding his father's thoughts. ”

"Your Majesty has promised that in a hundred years, he will be the king. Although the king knew that it was a drunken joke, he also thanked his brother for his deep friendship. Even if Liu Rong was made the crown prince, the king was never disgruntled, and was still willing to assist His Majesty wholeheartedly. However, Liu Rong was deposed, but His Majesty secretly appointed Yuan Ang's ministers, opened a court, coerced the queen mother, and drove the king away from Chang'an, so as to make you the crown prince. It wasn't until that that the king really understood that His Majesty regarded the princes as a big trouble, and he only had no trust in the king, and I would die sooner or later, and the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu were the example of the king! Liu Wu raised the wine bottle, raised his neck and drank it all, and said with a miserable smile: "This king has never had the luxury of becoming the emperor of the Han Dynasty!" It's all Your Majesty, my good brother, your good father, who has pushed this king on the road of no return! ”

Liu Che did not refute, because what Liu Wu said was the truth, Emperor Jing was indeed very unkind, and since the beginning of his accession to the throne, he has been calculating his own brother, and Liu Wu, the king of Liang in history, was simply forced to die by him. After the death of King Liang, Empress Dowager Dou cried extremely sadly, and said that she couldn't eat, saying: "Emperor Guo killed my son!" Obviously, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Emperor Jing has already set up a set, and he is planning to kill King Liang.

"It's come to this, and it's useless to talk about it." Liu Che was a little sad, he had almost never experienced family affection in his previous life, and he really didn't want to see the emperor's grandmother heartbroken, so he said helplessly: "It's just that the lonely king still has some doubts and wants to ask the imperial uncle for advice." ”

Liu Wu waved his hand and said quite boldly: "If you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it, although your kid is also like a ghost, you have a faint bit of style, and you have an appetite for this king." ”

"Since Uncle Huang knows what his father means, why is he still so domineering? The lonely king heard that the emperor's uncle built the East Garden, more than 300 miles away, 70 miles of the vast Suiyang City, the Dazhi palace room, for the compound road, the palace platform and pavilion stretch for 30 miles. He also used the banner of the Son of Heaven to ride from thousands of horses, called the police, and entered the words, intended to be the Son of Heaven. Recruit the Quartet, from Shandong Travelers are indispensable. Now the Liang State has made hundreds of thousands of crossbows and bows, and the treasury has hundreds of thousands of dollars, and there are more jewels and jade treasures than Jingshi. Liu Che shrugged, raised his glass to Liu Wu, and asked faintly: "Uncle Huang is amazingly talented, how can he not know that all these things are the way to die?" ”

"The country of Liang is very large, living in the world, with Mount Tai in the north, Gaoyang in the west, more than 40 cities, and many large counties. The queen mother felt sorry for the king, and the reward was naturally invincible. His Majesty seems to be in the same car as the king, and when he enters, he will be in the same car, but in fact, he never forgets to weaken the Liang State in every way. You go and ask Your Majesty, this king was a domineering man when he was young? Have you ever coveted jewels? Have you ever been fascinated by the beautiful palace? Have you ever competed with him for the position of the Son of Heaven? Liu Wu looked up to the sky and sighed, full of melancholy: "Now that this king has become like this, such a surname, it is all thanks to my dear brother!" ”

Liu Che was silent for a long time, the current Empress Dowager Dou Yifang was originally a small palace maid, because of her humble background, she had no chance to raise her two sons by herself, and Liu Wu was taken care of by her brother Liu Qi since he was a child. Thinking that the emperor's father cultivated his younger brother's surname when he was a child, he insisted on bringing Liu Wu, who was originally one of the top ten teenagers with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, beauty and labor, into a flying and domineering surname.

The so-called "three-year-old looks old", the vain and domineering Liu Wu is naturally not suitable for entrusting Sheji. After Dou Yifang entered the East Palace, Emperor Wen of Han wanted to choose the prince among her two sons, even if he knew that Liu Qi was ruthless, he could only be made the prince. Liu Che thought that the emperor's father had such a scheming at a young age, which was really much better than crossing the crowd.

Thinking of this, Liu Che chuckled in his heart, a cold sweat broke out on his back, and he realized that he seemed to be thinking wrong. He tried his best, and even implored the emperor's father to use the self-confident Zhou Yafu as the Taishou of Peijun, and set up heavy troops around the Liang State to prevent the Liang King from rebelling. Now that I think about it, I have misseen King Liang and Emperor Jing!

The reason why Liu Che was so wary of Liu Wu, the king of Liang, was only because according to historical records, not long after, his advisers Yang Sheng, Gongsun Yi and others suggested assassinating Yuan Ang and more than ten other important ministers of the court to relieve the hatred in their hearts about the original court discussion, and despite the opposition of Han Anguo, Liu Wu still adopted the advice of Yang Sheng and others.

After Yuan Ang and others were killed, Emperor Jing of Han pursued him relentlessly, and Liu Wu, the king of Liang, was forced to accept Han Anguo's suggestion, let Yang Sheng and Gongsun Wei commit suicide, and sent Han Anguo to Chang'an City to apologize, and the situation eased. However, the king of Liang has been confined in the Liang country since then, although the family has a huge amount of money, the mood is very depressed, every time he hears that the queen mother is sick, he sleeps and eats restlessly, and repeatedly asks to stay in Chang'an to serve the queen mother, but he has not been allowed. Later, on the way out hunting, he saw a strange cow with two feet on his back, Liu Wu was very disgusted, and when he came back, he fell ill and died of fever.

Wrong! Wrong! Looking at the words and deeds of Liu Wu, the king of Liang, now he is definitely not such a crazy and stupid person!

Yang Sheng and Gongsun Yi are all famous people in Qidi. Gongsun is even more strange and evil, when he first saw the king of Liang, he was given a thousand gold, the official to the lieutenant, and the Liang number was called General Gongsun. And Liu Wu is humble and talented, and his disciples have top talents such as Sima Xiangru, Mei Cheng, and Zou Yang. Han Anguo, the domestic history of Liang, was personally appointed by the Empress Dowager Dou, how dare the sincere and filial King of Liang be imprisoned because Han Anguo opposed the stabbing of Yuan Ang and others like the history books?

Whether it is from the strategists or from the king of Liang himself, it is impossible to use such a stupid trick as assassinating the important ministers of the court. The only possibility is to plant the blame! And Emperor Jing has murderous intentions for this younger brother, but King Liang has a lot of credit, especially when he is also loved by the Queen Mother, and he can't be moved lightly without real evidence. It was this assassination incident that shocked the government and the opposition that gave Emperor Jing the opportunity in his previous life to send the cool official Zhidu to the Liang State and turn the matter into an iron case! King Liang was unanimously hated and spurned by the Han aristocracy, and since then he has been in a slump!

When Liu Che thought of this, he couldn't help but be horrified in his heart, Emperor Dad! It must be the emperor's father!
