How many years has Chang'an City not seen the scene it is today?

These Liu clan's sect kings and marquis of Che entered Chang'an City in disgrace like frosted eggplants.

In the Changle Palace.

Luo Jing stood in the hall, Liu Heng circled around him, and then he put his mind at ease, patted him on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "Ah Jing, it's good that you didn't get hurt, you did a good job this time, and you have achieved such a big result so quickly." ”

Luo Jing knew that the information sent by the family saved most of the time, and what he did was just to make some mediocre and correct choices at the right time.

After Liu Heng praised Luo Jing, he encouraged Zhou Yafu and the others, and then set his eyes on the prince who had been trembling.

It was visible to the naked eye, Liu Heng, who was still smiling just now, instantly turned into a face full of anger, he wanted to find a sharp sword and stab all his relatives to death one by one, but reason still allowed him to recover.

Liu Heng walked around the crowd, and then sighed: "When King Luowen just returned to power, I wanted to create a prosperous era like King Luowen, so I asked King Wen, how can I make the Han Dynasty always prosperous and high-spirited?"

King Wen said: As long as you find the henchman of the Han and then solve it, the Han will prosper forever.

I asked again: What is the trouble of the henchmen of the great man?

King Wen said: The troubles of the henchmen are changing all the time, and if you solve a major problem, there will be new ones, and the ministers don't know what you have to face.

After the death of King Wen, I went all over the world several times, all of them were loyal ministers and good generals, and the people of the Han Dynasty also had their hearts set on the royal family, and the benevolent government was widely spread, so I really couldn't find the suffering place of the Han Dynasty.

I didn't expect that the trouble of the big man's henchmen was not outside, but inside, and it was among my flesh and blood relatives.

Which of you is not the descendant of Emperor Taizu Gao, which one is not the Liu family's Sect King Chehou, which one is not the lord of a country, and which one of you has not made an oath in Changle Weiyang.

Even if the river becomes as thin as a belt, even if Mount Tai is as small as gravel on the side of the road, your wealth and glory will not change, this is the oath given by the royal family, but the premise is that you will be loyal to the royal family.

I can't help but ask, isn't what the royal family has given you enough?

Your land is full of every inch of your kingdom and your princes, your gold, silver and jewels are as many grains of sand as the river beach, and you can't even pile up your warehouses, you wear brocade clothes and eat delicacies from the sea, why do you want to take the little food and money that the people have!

Greed has reached such a point that even the legendary gluttony is far from being comparable to you.

When you plundered the people's money, didn't you think that every bad coin you cast now would eventually turn into the wrath of the people?

How many years has the Qin Dynasty fallen!

Forget!

At the moment when I became a lone husband and was overthrown, do you Liu clan relatives think you can be alone?

It's stupid.

It's just stupid. ”

The more Liu Heng spoke, the more angry he became, Luo Jing hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need for you to be angry with them, these insects are not as good as even a single hair of yours, there are loyal ministers and good generals in this world, and there are also people in the Liu clan who put Jiangshan Sheji in their hearts." ”

Luo Jing said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, these people are clan relatives after all, and the historians are also here, you still don't leave a reputation for treating clan relatives harshly, and after that, the ministers will go to visit these princes and kings." ”

Liu Heng glanced at the intimate Luo Jing with emotion, and then looked at the group of Liu clan kings who only knew how to dig up the corners of their own walls, and sighed: "Ah Jing, if you are the Liu family, I will seal the entire Zhao land to you." ”

Luo Jing just smiled, he believed that Liu Heng really thought so, but it was impossible.

……

Following.

A holy decree came out of the forbidden, and the king of Chu tried in vain to rebel, expelled the country, and exiled 30,000 people in the country to Lingnan.

The original Chu State was divided into five, three were divided into imperial counties, one was rebuilt in Chu, and the three sons of the Chu prince were loyal to the court, so he inherited the throne, and one was divided into the Hou State and placed by the imperial court.

As soon as this decree was issued, countless courtiers wrote against it, saying that "those who rebel and rebel are not punished with capital punishment, which is not enough to demonstrate the majesty of the imperial law."

Although Your Majesty is kind, you should also have a sharp heart, otherwise how can you shock the world in the long run? ”

Liu Heng sent a letter to the ministers: "In the past, when Emperor Taizu Gao, the princes with different surnames rebelled and only punished the head of the evil, and the rest of the people were exiled, and even gave them the opportunity to return to Chang'an, at that time, everyone in the world praised Emperor Gao's benevolence.

Now the people who sit in the law are all my relatives, the Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and the most important thing is blood relatives, if they are treated too harshly, isn't it a bad example for the world?

Since I ascended the throne, I have ruled the world with benevolence, treated my subjects well, commuted my sentence and killed him with caution, so I am deeply concerned and should be exiled. ”

Naturally, a group of people praised Liu Heng's benevolence and kindness, but more books poured in, the king with a different surname was punished for his evil back then, and now the princes and kings of the Liu family should also be punished for evil, after all, this is a rebellion and rebellion, how can it be easily bypassed?

In the disturbance of the outside world, Luo Jing took people to meet the late King of Chu, and the King of Chu was a little surprised that Luo Jing would come to see him, and changed his attitude when he was in Luoyang City, he could say that it was unbelievable, and comforted him warmly: "Don't worry too much, Your Majesty is merciful today, and you value family affection the most, your life safety will be fine, you should pay attention when eating, pay attention to drinking water, pay attention to the threshold when you go out, and don't walk to high places such as pillars, if you have an accident, Your Majesty will be sad." ”

Therefore, the king of Chu was a little flattered, bowed directly in the direction of the palace, and cried: "The grass people are really ashamed of Your Majesty's grace, please return to Your Majesty, and the grass people will definitely change their ways." ”

Luo Jing didn't speak, but finally glanced at the late King of Chu with inexplicable eyes, and then left with a group of people, including the historian Shi Shiran.

Therefore, the king of Chu was slightly relieved at first, and then suddenly woke up in his sleep, cold sweat, his face was pale, and he was full of fear.

The conversation between the two quickly spread, and everyone didn't expect that the emperor really wanted to save the life of the king of Chu, but simply exiled.

Just when many courtiers gave up, the news of the king of Chu committing suicide in fear of crime came, and he also left a suicide note, which said, "I have heard of the disturbances of these days, but I did not expect that because the fault of the sinners involved His Majesty's sage, I am really ashamed, and I can only die to atone for his sins and repay the grace of the saint."

Your Majesty is wise and wise, and I only wish Your Majesty a long life and a long life. ”

The suicide of the king of Chu in fear of sin was beyond everyone's expectations, and then most people found out that this might be the best ending.

Although there is more experience in exile in Lingnan now, with the physical fitness of these powerful people, the probability of surviving the exile is half, not to mention the possibility of dying directly on the way.

is also very good to the emperor, the reputation of benevolence and righteousness is almost brushed, and the opposition of the courtiers is directly eliminated.

The hearts of the people were rejoicing.

The death of the king of Chu solved many more problems than his mediocre life, and for the king of Chu who committed suicide in fear of sin, he naturally couldn't even get a, and the court gave him a bad scold.

However, at least he was restored to the status of the princes and kings, and the number of exiles in Lingnan in the Chu Wangfu was greatly reduced, and those younger children were able to stay in the Central Plains without having to go to the Lingnan region for the rest of their lives, which was already Liu Heng's greatest mercy.

As soon as the king of Chu, where the problem was most serious, was solved, the remaining princes and kings were very simple.

According to the Han law, on the grounds that the kings sat on the law and committed crimes, they directly seized the lord and removed the country.

Half of the land was divided into feudal kingdoms, and the eldest son inherited the throne, and the rest of the sons were all marquis, and the remaining half of the land was turned into counties.

As the population has gradually increased over the decades, the largest county has a population of one million, so it is inevitable that the new county will be divided from the old one.

Now it's just the right thing to do.

This is a major event that shook the world, from the time of King Luowen's regency, the court began to build princes, plus Tui'en, such as the number of Liu princes and kings today is really a lot.

This time, five princes and thirteen princes lost their kingdoms at once, and although the imperial court re-established sacrifices, this was the first time that there were princes and kings whose fiefdoms were less than one county.

To a certain extent, these kings are no longer qualified to be called princes and kings, how can such a big change not attract people's attention?

The new emperor had just taken the throne and had done such a great deed, and countless people were waiting for what else this emperor would do.

As the princes and kings of Shandong were constantly suppressed, Chang'an became more and more dazzling in the hearts of the people of the world.

Due to the existence of Donghou Luojing, the "Zhuliu Lost the Country" incident is extremely well-known, and has always been talked about on the Internet, and was jokingly called "a bloody case caused by a copper coin" by netizens.

At the very beginning of this incident, even the Han court did not expect to cause such a big reaction, but with Luo Jing's vigorous and resolute action, the incident was rapidly expanded, and Emperor Wen of Han took advantage of this to start the next step of Tui'en, that is, to deprive those distant clan relatives of the feudal state.

This was a landmark event that strongly maintained the centralization of power in the Han Dynasty, and laid a solid foundation for the Han Dynasty to move towards its peak and prosperity. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
