However, it is said that Zhao Tuo is really a person, and on that day, Qin Shi Huang established the land of Nanyue, and placed the three counties of Guilin, Nanhai, and Xiangjun, and the people of the migrants and barbarians lived together, and Zhao Tuo was the commander of Longchuan County. Longchuan County belongs to Nanhai County. By the time of the second, Nanhai Wei Ren Huan saw the chaos in the world, so he wanted to occupy the independence of Nanyue, but he was old and sick, and then gradually became seriously ill, knowing that he was not good, and thought that Longchuan made Zhao Tuo a heroic man, and he was very strategic, and he was competent for this job. Then he sent someone to summon Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo was ordered to come and meet him before the sickbed. Ren Huan retreated left and right and said: "Recently, I heard that Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others gathered troops to disrupt China, and I don't know when we will be able to settle down. The South China Sea is located in a remote area, and I am afraid that the enemy will invade me, so I want to block the road to guard myself, so as to wait for the times to change. I have watched the officials in the county without words, so I call you to entrust you. After I die, you will take my place, and this place will bear the mountains and face the sea, thousands of miles from east to west, and you can establish a country. You should do it for yourself. Zhao Tuo took the promise one by one. However, a few days later, Ren Huan died, and Zhao Tuo took over as the captain of the South China Sea. That is, the guards will block the road and set up troops to defend, and the guards will do as they say. As a result, the three counties of Nanyue were all occupied by Zhao Tuo, and Zhao Tuo established himself as the king of Nanyue.

and Gaozu pacified the world, Zhao Tuo refused to be a minister because of his own danger. Because of the hard work of the soldiers at the beginning of the war, and the difficulty of conquering Guangdong, Gaozu wanted to take advantage of the situation to set up Zhao Tuo as the king of Nanyue, and ordered Lu Jia to go to Kaidao and make a covenant with him to pass the city.

Lu Jia was ordered to go to Nanyue, but he didn't see Zhao Tuo coming out to pick him up in person, and he was sure that he was a stubborn person, thinking that when he met him this time, he should not be humble or arrogant, and if he was too humble, he would lose his status as a messenger and humiliate the country; If it is too high, Zhao Tuo refused to accept the order, missed the peace agreement, and only the camera acted to succeed.

Lu Jia made up his mind, took the seal and scarf all the way inside, and saw Zhao Tuo sitting proudly in the hall, without a crown on his head, and buttoning his hair into a vertebral bun; He did not have a belt on his body, but sat on his knees open. Seeing Lu Jia coming in, he didn't get up. Seeing that Zhao Tuo was so arrogant and rude, Lu Jia walked up to him and said loudly: "The foot is Chinese, and the ancestral graves, brothers and relatives are all really determined." Now the foot is contrary to his nature, abandoning the crown belt, and resisting the Son of Heaven in vain, refusing to surrender to the impending disaster. On the same day, Qin lost his political heroes and rose up, and today the son entered the customs to level Qin and destroy Chu, and the sea was pacified within five years, which was not human, but it was actually by heaven. The king did not help the world to punish the rebellion, and all the ministers asked to move troops to ask for guilt. The Son of Heaven took pity on the people for their hard work and ordered them to rest, so he sent his ministers to grant the king a seal and a contract envoy. The king should go out to the suburbs to meet the northern ministers, who knew that he would treat each other as an enemy country, and the Son of Heaven would be furious when he heard about it, and if he ordered the general to lead 100,000 soldiers to come, it would be easy for the Cantonese to kill the king and surrender to the Han. When Zhao Tuo heard this, he left his seat and stood up and said with a smile: "I have been living in barbarians for a long time and have been rude, but fortunately, I don't want to be responsible." So he sat down with Lu Jia to discuss world affairs.

Zhao Tuo saw that Lu Jia's answer was fluent, and he wanted to make it difficult for him, so he asked: "Who is more virtuous than Xiao He, Cao Shen, Han Xin and others?" Lu Jia replied: "It seems to be a step higher." Zhao Tuo asked again: "Then who am more virtuous than the emperor?" Lu Jia definitely couldn't say that he was a cut above the emperor, so he replied: "The emperor started from abundance and abundance, exterminated the heroes, and eliminated harm for the benefit of the world. Today, the king has only hundreds of thousands of people, and between the rugged mountains and seas, it is not as good as the Han Dynasty, how can the king compare himself with the Han emperor? Zhao Tuo heard that Lu Jia spoke decently and couldn't refute him, so he laughed and said: "I don't make trouble in China, I only call him king here; If I had lived in China that day, would I have been inferior to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty? ”

So Zhao Tuo stayed with Lu Jia, drank and talked with him every day, and the situation was very intimate, because he said to Lu Jia: "There is no one in Guangdong who has enough words and words, but fortunately Mr. came, and what he said was unheard of." Lu Jia lived in Guangdong for several months, and actually worshiped Zhao Tuo as the king of Yue, so that he made a covenant with his ministers, and returned after the matter was over. Zhao Tuo gave Lu Jia the jewelry produced in Guangdong, which was worth about a thousand gold, and did not give a gift of money. When Gaozu heard that Zhao Tuo was willing to serve as a minister, he was overjoyed, so he worshiped Lu Jia as the Taizhong doctor.

Liu Bang went out to study when he was young, and when he was studying, he was a doorman for Zhang Er, and later Chen Sheng rose up, and the heroes of the world rose up and responded, Liu Bang and Zhang Er became the best of the responders, and only Xianyang was divided, Liu Bang became the king of Han, and Zhang Er became the king of Changshan.

However, Zhang Er may have been unlucky, or perhaps his ability was insufficient, all in all, Zhang Er failed to hold Changshan Country and was expelled from Changshan Country by Yu. Zhang Er, who lost his fief and throne, found Liu Bang, Liu Bang was very courteous to Zhang Er, and sent Han Xin to help Zhang Er recapture Changshan Kingdom, and re-sealed Zhang Er as King Zhao on the territory of Changshan Kingdom, after Zhang Er died, Zhang Er's son Zhang Ao inherited the throne of King Zhao.

At the right time for Zhang Ao's new bereavement room, Empress Lu was afraid that Gaozu would marry Princess Lu Yuan to Xiongnu Shan Yu, so he married the princess to Zhang Ao. Zhang Ao naturally couldn't ask for it, and immediately named Princess Lu Yuan as the queen. Gaozu drove through Zhao in the seventh year, and Zhang Ao heard that his father-in-law was coming, so he personally went out to greet him. When he arrived in Handan, the capital of Zhao State, Gaozu went straight to the palace, and Princess Lu Yuan came out to meet him, so he left Gaozu to live for a few days. Zhang Ao is very filial to his father-in-law, serving tea and pouring water, beating his back and pinching his shoulders, and personally serving food and drink, which is closer than treating his own father.

But Gao Zu was born arrogant and scolded people at every turn, and now as the Son of Heaven, he feels even greater than his predecessor. And because Zhang Ao was his son-in-law, he treated him like a child, without any politeness. He sat up with his feet stretched out, and drank Zhang Ao like a slave, scolding him a little unsatisfactory. Although Zhang Ao is his son-in-law, he is also the king of a country, and now he is in another country, and Gaozu even disregards his decency. After Zhang Ao was insulted by him, he blindly obeyed, and he didn't mind when he lowered his voice. Who knew that Guan Gao, Zhao Wu and others were angry and wanted to vent their anger for Zhang Ao.

Guan Gao and Zhao Wu were originally Zhang Ermenke, but now they are both Zhao Xiang, the two of them are over sixty years old, and they are usually negative and refuse to be wronged. Seeing that Zhang Ao was insulted by Gaozu, the two couldn't look past it, whispered to each other, and laughed at Zhang Ao's weakness, so they went to see Zhang Ao together and said: "The king went out to the suburbs to greet and salute, but the emperor did not reply and insulted, is it good to be the Son of Heaven?" The ministers are willing to remove the emperor for the king! Zhang Ao was shocked, and pointed to the blood pointing to the sky as an oath: "How can this be done? In the past, the first king lost the country, and the emperor was able to recover his homeland with the power of the emperor, and passed it on to his descendants. Seeing that Zhang Ao was disobedient, the two discussed privately: "It turns out that my king is loyal by nature and can't bear to betray morality, so why should I discuss with him." Now we will act on our own, and the matter will return to the king, and if we don't fight, we will feel clean for a lifetime. "The discussion is over, and Fang wants to start preparing, but Gao Zu has already set off. Everyone saw that the opportunity was missed, so they had to put it down.

A year later, Gaozu led his troops to attack Han Wangxin Yu Kou in Dongyuan, and after Kou Ping, Gaozu sent an order to return to Beijing. Guan Gao had already discovered the news, and expected that Gao Zu would pass by Zhao Di when he returned to Beijing, and knew that he was traveling according to the post station, and remembered that Zhao Di Bairen County was a big station, and Gao Zu would definitely stay in the pavilion here. Then he discussed with more than ten people from the same party, and secretly sent several wrestlers with sharp blades to ambush and wait in the toilet of the Bairen Pavilion.

The arrangement has been decided, and within a few days, Gaozu really arrived at the Bai people. It is also the life of Gao Zu who does not deserve to die, and after people have to go to the palace, they ask left and right: "What is the name of this county?" Left and right replied: "The name of the county is Bairen." Gao Zu said: "Bai is close to the sound of urgency, and the people of Bai are forced by people, and the name of the place is unfavorable, so they cannot stay here." ”

Immediately the order was issued, and the plan of Guan Gao fell through. Guan Gao's enemies were secretly happy when they learned of this, and they wanted to kill Guan Gao to take revenge. Although I knew that it would affect many people, I couldn't care about it now.

In the winter and December of the ninth year, Gaozu arrived in Luoyang, and the enemies of Guan Gao came to denounce him. Gaozu was furious, because Guan Gao and Zhao Wu were both Zhao Xiang, and the others were also officials of Zhao State, thinking that Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, must be an accomplice, and sent warriors to Zhao State with an edict, and sent Zhang Ao, Guan Gao, Zhao Wu and other more than ten people to Luoyang for interrogation, and informed the subjects of Zhao State that if they dared to follow King Zhao to come, they would be guilty of the three clans.

The samurai was ordered to read the edict to Zhao State, but Zhang Ao had never known about it, and listening to the edict was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky. But at this time, it is too late to complain about everyone, and you can only be bound. When Zhao Wu and the others heard the news, they thought that it would be better to find death as soon as possible, so as not to be imprisoned and punished, so they all pulled out their knives and killed themselves. Seeing that everyone was looking for death, he was so angry that he scolded: "My king did not rebel, this matter was done by us and others, and today even my king is affected, if he dies, who will defend my king?" So he was willing to be bound and go with him. There are a few brave and loyal Zhao Chen who also want to follow. However, the edict was not allowed to obey, and was guilty of the strict prohibition of the three clans, so he came up with a method, went to the tongs, pretended to be the slave of the Zhao Wangjia to follow Luoyang, and Gaozu did not meet Zhang Ao, that is, he handed over to the court Wei Prison interrogation.

Princess Lu Yuan was so frightened that she cried when she heard that her husband was arrested, she knew that her husband was tired and had no intention of doing so, so she hurriedly packed up and rushed to Chang'an. After seeing Lu, he cried and begged for help. When Empress Lu heard this, she was also surprised, so she came to Luoyang with her daughter. I heard that Zhang Ao and Guan Gao had been imprisoned, and Gao Zu was urging Tingwei to strictly interrogate him.

When Empress Lu saw Gaozu, he defended Zhang Ao and asked him to immediately issue an edict for pardon. Gaozu didn't allow it, and Empress Lu said it several times in a row, to the effect that Zhang Ao was a son-in-law, and he would definitely not do this for his daughter's affection. Gao Zu said angrily: "If Zhang Ao wins the world, is there one less daughter for you?" Empress Lu saw that Gao Zu was angry, so he didn't dare to say anything more.

Tingwei was the son-in-law of Gaozu because Zhang Ao was the son-in-law of Gaozu, so of course he stayed in another room. Guan Gao, the sole envoy, said loudly: "This is all done by us, and it has nothing to do with the king." The court lieutenant suspected that he was protecting the king of Zhao, so he ordered the subordinate to be heavily flogged. Guan Gao gritted his teeth and endured it, and there was nothing else to say. After one news, tomorrow's news, and three news the day after tomorrow, Guan Gao insisted on the former word for the king's grievance, and at the end, Tingwei stabbed the iron bar red into Guan Gao's limbs, Guan Gao couldn't bear to faint several times, and even died without his skin, but he still did not change his preface. Tingwei had no choice, so he had to show the interrogation of Guan Gao to Gaozu.

Gao Zu unconsciously praised when he saw it: "What a strong man! Because he asked the ministers, he said: "If you and others know Guan Gao, you will go to the prison to take a look, and you can ask him privately whether King Zhao has an accomplice." On the side, the doctor leaked out of the class and said: "Guan Gao is in the same place as the minister, and the minister knows it, and this person advocates righteousness and righteousness." Gao Zu then ordered the Emperor to go to the prison, but at this time, Guan Gao was tortured and could not move, and the jailer put him in the whip. When he approached, Guan Gao was lying in prison and was depressed, but now he was very happy to see the old man, and the two talked to each other as usual. Seeing Guan Gao, he also felt sad when he suffered from this.

In the middle of speaking, Gong Xuan asked about the assassination, whether Zhao Wangguo knew about it. Guan Gao replied: "Who doesn't love his parents and wife, if I am not the mastermind, how can I lose the life of a family for King Zhao alone?" Just because King Zhao really didn't conspire with him, I can't rely on him. We are all responsible for this. So he told how Gaozu despised King Zhao, how they got angry and how they designed, from beginning to end. Knowing that what Guan Gao said was the truth, he repaid Gao Zu according to his words. Gao Zucai believed that Zhang Ao was indeed innocent, so he issued an edict to pardon him and release him from prison.

Gaozu secretly thought that it was really rare for Guan Gao to be upright, and ordered the Duke to go and inform Guan Gao of King Zhao's release from prison, so as to comfort his heart and pardon Guan Gao's crimes. After hearing this, Guan Gao asked, "Is King Zhao really unexpected?" "It's really pardoned." "Running tall and happy. He said, "The Lord is very heavy, and he has specially commanded me to forgive the sins of my feet." Guan Gao was not happy when he heard that he was pardoned by the emperor, he said that since he was imprisoned, he did not think about getting out alive, the reason why he did not commit suicide was to avenge King Zhao, if he died, King Zhao's grievances would not be appealed. Now that King Zhao is safe and sound, his mission has been completed. What's more, the minister is accused of killing the king, what kind of face do you have to go to see the emperor! Even if the emperor didn't kill him, he was ashamed in his heart. After speaking, he choked his hands by his throat, and immediately died of exhaustion.

When Gaozu heard that Guan Gao had committed suicide, he sighed very much. I also heard that Uncle Lang Zhongtian, Meng Shu and other more than ten people did not avoid danger and were willing to be slaves, and it was rare to accompany Zhang Ao, so they summoned them together, and everyone answered them like a stream, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty argued that he could not. Gaozu secretly thought that the ministers of Zhao were all wise men. And he worshipped them all as princes and princes.
