After Wu Yong and Liu Yan left, Liu Kui, the king of Bohai, also felt that he couldn't sit still, which was too passive. So he gathered all his sons who were over the age of 15 and over.

Compared with his brother Liu Zhi, although Liu Kui's concubines are only eleven, he has more than 70 children.

Of course, some of these children were born to wives and concubines, and some were born to maids. Female singers, nowadays refer to female singers and dancers, also known as singers.

As we all know, music is a social culture that is closely related to people's lives. After the unification of the feudal empire, stable political and economic development also contributed to the progress of the music model.

The main function of a courtesan is naturally inseparable from music. After 400 years of development in the Qin and Han dynasties, music culture has developed extremely maturely and has become an indispensable culture in aristocratic etiquette.

Therefore, the number of singers has also become a status symbol. Of course, some aristocrats have another purpose for raising singers, that is, to spread the branches of the family.

After the Zhou Dynasty, although all classes below the Son of Heaven also practiced the concubine system, but from the Han Wu Emperor's

Since the beginning of "overthrowing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", Confucian classics have become the orthodoxy and mainstream ideology of society.

Confucian classics are ancient

"The princes marry nine daughters",

"Doctor Qing's wife and two concubines",

"If you succeed and receive the title, you have to prepare eight concubines",

"Scholars, one wife, one concubine", concubines

"One husband and one wife" and so on. In other words, concubines are not something you can accept if you want to, you must have a certain social status, and you can only have a wife and a concubine if you become a scholar.

Even if ordinary people have money and want to take concubines, they will be spurned by society and even punished by the government.

At the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, it was stipulated that the princes and kings had one concubine and eight sons. Later, this number was broken, and when Emperor Wu, Emperor Zhao, and Emperor Xuan, the wives and concubines of the princes reached hundreds, but they did not dare to be too blatant.

The Eastern Han Dynasty inherited the Western Han Dynasty, and naturally standardized the number of concubines of the princes and kings. During the reign of Emperor Huan, Liu Kui was reported by Yousi because of the excessive number of concubines, deposed the feudal state, and demoted him to the king of Xuantao.

He naturally didn't dare to go too far now, so there were only eleven concubines in the palace, but there were twenty-four maids.

When the heirs arrived, Liu Kui asked, "My father has suffered a great disaster this time, do you have a way to help your father survive this catastrophe?" After saying that, he also looked at the many heirs below with a look of hope.

Wu Yong's words just now suddenly alerted him. Although he was not afraid of those court envoys, he heard that Yuan Kui, the Great Hongluqing, Liu Zu and Zong Zhengqing, Liu Zu and Chen Qiu, the court Weiqing, were going to come to Bohai to hold them accountable, and he was also uncertain.

The festival represents the identity of the emperor, and all the envoys who hold the festival represent the emperor in person, symbolizing the emperor and the country, and can exercise many rights.

At that time, he still wants to rely on the identity of the King of Bohai, but I'm afraid it won't work. And none of the three characters who came this time could be offended by him.

Runan Yuan's protégés are all over the world, and it is rumored that Yuan Kui is mixed up with Yuan Yu, a regular servant, and it is not for him to offend.

As the head of the Han family, Liu Zu was in charge of the affairs related to the emperor's relatives or relatives. According to the provisions of the Han Eight Discussion System, if the relatives and nobles of the clan are guilty, they must first complain to Zongzheng, and then Zongzheng will report to the emperor, and then they can be dealt with lightly.

Originally, Liu Zu's arrival was his greatest hope. But Liu Kui was very afraid of Liu Zu, because Liu Zu insisted on putting him to death in order to correct the law of the country, and was finally stopped by Emperor Huan.

Chen Qiu, as a court lieutenant and in charge of the laws and decrees of the Han Dynasty, was most disgusted by people who dared to challenge the dignity of the law, and Liu Kui was just such a person.

What's more, Chen Qiu is the son-in-law of Cheng Huang, Liu Kui thinks that if he is planted in his hands, he will definitely not be soft on himself.

Only now did Liu Kui have a trace of regret. Since Song Qing became the queen, Liu Kui instigated his wife Song to communicate with him often, and he also became acquainted with Zheng Sa, a member of the Zhongchang Chamberlain, and Dong Teng, a member of the Zhonghuangmen.

I wanted to get some benefits from it, but I didn't expect to suffer trouble for myself. I knew that I wouldn't wade into this troubled water, Liu Kui thought regretfully in his heart.

At this time, a handsome young man stood up and said, "Father, the child heard from the minister of state that this incident was caused by the Zhongchang servant Wang Fu, so the child thought that the top priority was to ease the conflict with the Zhongchang servant and give him the 50 million money promised by his father before. The person who spoke was Liu Yuan, the eldest son of Liu Kui.

He just held the crown ceremony this year, and it was in the prime of life, and he didn't want to be implicated by his father. He believes that now that Wang Fu is quite trusted by the Son of Heaven, it is better to provoke less.

It would be great to be able to use money to ease the conflict between the two families.

"Shut up!" Liu Kui listened, but he was furious,

"Do you know how much tax 50 million dollars is from my Bohai Kingdom! Do you want this king to use the people's fat and ointment to submit to the eunuchs? "Don't look at what he said righteously, in fact, he is reluctant to give up this huge amount of money.

Before he was demoted to the king of Liaotao, there was only one Xiatao County in the fiefdom. In order to restore the original Bohai Kingdom, he kept bribing Wang Fu and others, resulting in many years of savings being empty, and some of his concubines and concubines were also dismissed by him.

Finally, when the imperial court issued an edict to restore his Bohai Kingdom, Wang Fu couldn't wait to ask for money. In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to give, it's that the amount is too big, and he is also powerless, so he can only believe that this is his brother Liu Zhi's last wish, not the result of Wang Fu's efforts, and refuses to fulfill his promise.

I wanted to delay for a few years, and when I had more money, I would ease the relationship with Wang Fu. But I didn't expect Wang Fu to do things so desperately!

directly falsely accuses him of rebellion, who can bear this. Therefore, he felt that Wang Fu was too deceitful, and he didn't leave him a way to live.

Especially when he heard the words of his eldest son, he was even more angry. At this time, bow your head and submit to softness, and he Bohai King will become the laughing stock of the world.

Seeing Liu Kui angry, Liu Yuannuo didn't dare to speak. At this moment, another handsome young man spoke: "The child thinks that his father can send someone to ask for the help of his relatives. "The person who spoke was Liu Pan, Liu Kui's second son, who was born to Liu Kui's concubine Song, and was regarded as a son-in-law.

Don't look at Liu Kui's current figure is a little bloated, but his children are all handsome and extraordinary, which are the perfect genes of his father Liu Yi.

In the sixth year of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Deng Sui recruited Liu Shou, the king of Jibei, and Liu Kai, the king of Hejian, to the capital, and was very surprised by Liu Yi's beautiful appearance, so he was made the heir of Liu Sheng, the eldest son of Emperor Liu Zhao of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Yi then stayed in the capital, and was soon named the king of the plains and enshrined Liu Sheng. As the saying goes, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck.

In the second year of Yongning, Empress Dowager Deng died, and Wang Sheng, the nurse mother of Emperor Liu Hu of the Han Dynasty, and Jiang Jing, the servant of Zhongchang, framed the Deng Qi brothers and Liu Yi, saying that they were plotting against the Zhongda doctor Zhao Wang, coveting the throne, and harboring a great rebellion.

Emperor An of the Han Dynasty then demoted Liu Yi to the rank of marquis of the capital and sent him back to Hejian. Liu Yi then refused the guests and closed the door.

In the fifth year of Yongjian, Liu Yi's father Liu Kai wrote a letter that he was willing to divide Liwu County to his son Liu Yi, and Liu Bao, Emperor Shun of Han, agreed, so he named Liu Yi as the Marquis of Liwu.

Two years later, his eldest son, Liu Zhi, was born and later became Emperor Huan of Han. Liu Yi's fate was bumpy and depressed, which led to his untimely death.

But he left behind three sons and two daughters. The eldest son, Liu Zhi, was born to Liu Yi's concubine Kuangming, and when Liu Zhi was fifteen years old, he was made emperor by the general Liang Ji.

The second son, Liu Shuo, in the second year of Jianhe, the son of heaven, Liu Zhi, made Liu Shuo, the marquis of the capital, the king of the plains, stayed in Boling, and served Liu Yihou.

Respect Liu Yi's wife Ma Shi as the noble person of Xiaochongbo Park, with the good township and hometown of Zhuo County, and the three counties of Liwu between the rivers as Tang Muyi.

However, Liu Shuo was addicted to alcohol, and often because of drunkenness, his behavior and speech were inappropriate, so the Son of Heaven ordered Ma Guiren to manage the family affairs of Liu Shuo, the king of the plains.

The third son is Liu Kui, in the first year of Jianhe, he was named the king of Bohai by the Son of Heaven, and later because he was impeached for rebellion, he was demoted to the king of Liaotao, and soon reverted to the king of Bohai.

The eldest daughter Liu, the princess of the Feng Changshe, married Geng Yuan. Geng Yuan is a native of Fufeng Maoling. Ancestor Geng Yiwei

One of the "28 generals of PTZ". In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Fufeng Geng's family was glorious for a while. Two of them became generals, nine became generals, thirteen of them were ranked in Jiuqing, three of them married princesses, nineteen liehous, and more than 100 people who served as Zhonglang generals, Huqiang lieutenants and assassins, and 2,000 stone level officials.

The second daughter Liu, the eldest princess of Feng Yiyang, married Kou. Kou Xun is a native of Changping in the upper valley, and the ancestor Kou is for it

One of the "28 generals of PTZ". The Kou clan was very low-key in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and in Yanxi, the Kou clan was caught in the crime, and the clan was exempted from returning to the upper valley of the old county.

However, there is a family named Kou Rong who has fled for several years, and he will be pardoned, but he cannot be removed, and he is poor, and he has written to ask for guilt since he died, but he thinks that Kou is framed by a traitor.

So Liu Zhi, the son of heaven, saw it and became even more angry, not only killing Kou Rong, but also imprisoning the descendants of the Kou family, and the Kou family was in decline.

Therefore, the relatives mentioned by Liu Pan actually refer to the Geng family of Fufeng Maoling and the Song family of Fufeng Pingling on the side of the mother family.

After hearing this, Liu Kui's eyes lit up, and he also thought it was a good idea, but then his eyes dimmed.

Because at this time the palace was besieged by officers and soldiers, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Eventually, he didn't give up and asked, "Do you have a way to get out?" Then he assured his many heirs: "As long as any of you helps the palace to survive this calamity, the father will pass on the throne of Bohai to him." Nowadays, although the family implements the primogeniture inheritance system stipulated by the patriarchal system of the Zhou Dynasty, it is not as strict as that of later generations, and the designation of heirs is a common occurrence.

Therefore, when everyone in the hall heard such a promise from King Bohai, their eyes lit up. You must know that Liu Kui, the king of Bohai, has more than 70 children, that is, excluding women, just sons, there are more than 20 people.

A large part of these people, when they become adults, can only get a little property, and then they have to fend for themselves, and it is impossible for the imperial court to give so many people a title.

But the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny. They all knew very well that it would be extremely difficult to get out.

Now there are officers and soldiers on duty everywhere outside, let alone a big living person, even a fly is difficult to fly out.

Instead of being ashamed of his words and being disgusted by his father, it is better to honestly wait for others to make a fool of themselves. So, Liu Kui waited for a long time, but no one stood up.

Just when he was a little impatient, a woman's voice came from outside the door.

"Father, daughter is willing to go to Luoyang and contact relatives." Liu Kui raised his eyes and saw that it was Liu Yun, the daughter of his own family, and couldn't help but have a headache and said: "Don't mess around, how can one of your daughter's families participate in this matter!" Liu Yun walked to the center of the hall and said unhurriedly: "Father, now our palace is strictly guarded by officers and soldiers, and the men in the palace are all recorded. After counting, she glanced at the brothers in the hall and said loudly: "But I'm different, who cares about a woman." Liu Kui pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "Then how do you get out?" It is impossible for officers and soldiers to let you out for no reason! Liu Yun grinned and said, "Of course, I asked that Wu attendant for help." I can hear his conversation with my father very clearly. This man came all the way to help us. ”
