50 The death of Emperor Hui

But it is said that when Emperor Han Hui was born, Liu Bang was busy fighting outside, and he stayed at home with his grandparents, mothers and sisters. Like today's rural children, the sisters and brothers cut grass to feed pigs, and pick mulberry and silkworms. Whatever grandpa and mom say, they do. Liu Bang occasionally went home, Liu Ying was silent, respectful and afraid of her father. In Liu Bang's view, being too honest is a fool, and being too kind is a fool. People are good at being ridden, and horses are good at being bullied, so I don't like Liu Ying at all!

What about Empress Lu? She likes children from the bottom of her heart, but her husband is not by her side all the year round, she has children under her father-in-law, and she has to be busy with housework and farm work. Liu Ying didn't want to make her angry, like a servant.

In April 205 BC, when the Han army took advantage of Xiang Yu's fall into Qi and could not extricate itself, they captured the Chu capital Pengcheng in one fell swoop. Xiang Yu led the cavalry to quickly return to the defense, and the Han army fought in Suishui, Liu Bang's 560,000 army was defeated by Xiang Yu's 30,000 elite soldiers, and finally fled with only more than ten horsemen. On the way, he met his two children, and Xiahou Ying carried them to the car. The Chu soldiers in the back were in a hurry to catch up. King Han was afraid that the car would be too late to restart, so he pushed his children under the car. Fortunately, Xiahou Ying put the two children in the car again. General Chu couldn't catch up, so he had to lead his troops back. At the moment of life and death, I don't know why Liu Bang disregarded the lives of his children and daughters.

Later, Liu Bang took Mrs. Qi to the army and lived with Liu Bang's children. Mrs. Qi gave birth to a child, and the family got along harmoniously. Mrs. Qi cares for Liu Ying's sister and brother meticulously, just like her own children. In this year, Liu Bangli Liu Ying was the crown prince at the age of 6. Liu Bang became the emperor and made Liu Ying the crown prince.

In September 203 BC, Chu Hanyi and Shi Taigong and Lü Pheasant were released. Lu Pheasant found that Liu Bang already had Mrs. Qi by his side, so he hated Mrs. Qi to the core. For Mrs. Qi's kindness in taking care of her children when she was away, Empress Lu was not grateful at all!

In ancient times, it was normal for men to marry concubines, although Liu Bang doted on Mrs. Qi, but he still named Lu Pheasant as the queen, and the emperor and queen were named queens. Liu Bang saw that Liu Ying was not as smart as Liu Ruyi, so he had the idea of changing the crown prince. It doesn't matter if Liu Ying is the prince or not, but Lu Pheasant must be the queen. After Liu Bang died of illness, Liu Ying successfully inherited the throne when he was only seventeen years old.

In Liu Ying's impression, although his father is the emperor, he is not tyrannical and cruel, sometimes he does something wrong, and when others point it out, he can correct it immediately. For Han Xin and Peng Yue, he didn't plan to execute them, he just stripped them of their military power! Even Kuaitong persuaded Han Xin to rebel, and Liu Bang later wanted to cook him to death! Kuaitong said that at that time, he only knew that there was Han Xin, but he didn't know that there was Liu Bang, and if Han Xin listened to his rebellion, he would not have died and the clan would have been wiped out! Liu Bang felt that Kuaitong was reasonable, so he actually let him go!

However, my mother is different from my father, my mother only looks at the result, does not consider right or wrong, and is even more unscrupulous. After Liu Ying succeeded to the throne, Empress Lu took control of the government, and after she killed Ruyi [actually Zhou Yi], she began to attack Mrs. Qi. She had Mrs. Qi cut off her limbs, gouge out her eyes, cut off her tongue, and put her in the toilet as an adult. She admired her art of killing people very much, and asked the palace ladies and eunuchs to watch it. Although the palace maids and eunuchs felt cruel, no one dared to express sympathy, and they were silent one by one. In order to let his son also appreciate his genius art, Empress Lu even asked Emperor Hui to watch it. Liu Ying didn't understand art, and when she heard that Ren Bi was Mrs. Qi, she couldn't help crying. He made people say to the Queen Mother: "This is not human! The minister is the queen mother, and he will not be able to rule the world in the end! "If others scold Empress Dowager Lu for not being human, ten lives will also die! Emperor Hui is her son, and Empress Dowager Lu is helpless.

After Emperor Hui saw people, he became seriously ill and ignored the government. As the emperor, he felt that the queen mother was too vicious to kill! I can't stop or blame myself for such evil deeds, so what qualifications do I have to point fingers at civil and military officials in the court? Kind-hearted people have their own moral bottom line, and after this bottom line, they can't forgive themselves! Empress Dowager Lu doesn't talk about morality and has no bottom line, she only knows that power is supreme, and she can do whatever she wants! She may think that Mrs. Qi wants Ruyi to be the prince, and Liu Ying must hate it to the core! In fact, Liu Ying is a child from the countryside, and he is satisfied if he can have no worries about food and clothing. It doesn't matter if you are the prince or the emperor. Even if the father really set up other sons, he would not have any complaints! People say that they know their son Mo Ruo's mother, but Empress Dowager Lu doesn't know her son at all!

Even if you are scared of her sick son, we don't understand the art of the Queen Mother, in order to make the country forever, she thought of a way to marry Liu Lu. In the past, there was no marriage law, and it was not impossible for close relatives to marry, but it was impossible to say that a niece married an uncle.

In Liu Ying's childhood memory, the best thing for him was Sister A. When he was born, his family was difficult, and his father Liu Bang was a gangster, and his mother had to pick mulberry and raise silkworms to subsidize the family. In a childhood without love, his sister was his only source of warmth.

Liu Bang got into trouble, Lu Yuan and Liu Ying traveled with the army, in the barracks, the conditions were difficult, not to mention the difficult conditions, and his father's attitude towards them was also very cold, and for countless nights, the young Liu Ying fell asleep under the protection of her sister.

In the hard years of the struggle between Chu and Han, Liu Ying was accompanied only by her sister Princess Lu Yuan, who took care of her younger brother Liu Ying, and the two depended on each other.

Princess Lu Yuan finally married Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, during Liu Bang's reign, Zhang Ao was targeted and humiliated, Liu Ying was extraordinarily generous to his sister after succeeding to the throne, and he would give Princess Lu Yuan a copy of all the treasures that others sent into the palace; He treated Zhang Ao well and the Zhang family well.

This year, Emperor Hui's heir has been on the throne for three years, and he is already twenty years old. The children of ordinary families are about to get married when they are weak and crowned, why is it that a son of heaven has not been crowned a queen for three years? It turned out that Empress Dowager Lu had another idea. He had a daughter because of Princess Lu Yuan, but her appearance was still neat, and her temperament was also gentle, and he wanted to marry Emperor Hui, but it was a pity that he was still naïve and inconvenient for a while. When Emperor Hui was three years old, his granddaughter was only over ten years old, and when it came to age, she was still inhumane. In order to avoid the loss of power in his hands, in the fourth year of filial piety (192 BC), Lu Pheasant established Zhang Yan, the daughter of Princess Lu Yuan, as the queen.

Emperor Kehui and Zhang Yan are ten years apart, and Princess Lu Yuan is a sister; My sister's daughter is my niece, how can my nephew be worthy of being husband and wife?

In an instant, it was already a good time, and Princess Lu Yuan and her husband Zhang Ao were preparing to marry their daughter, and they were very busy. Empress Dowager Lu and Emperor Hui lived together in Changle Palace, and this time she prepared for the post-book ceremony, and ordered to arrange a grand ceremony in the Weiyang Palace, one to make Emperor Hui live in the palace, and he was so relieved to be happy; The second is to make his granddaughter detain Emperor Hui and ask her to secretly supervise it, so as to save Emperor Hui from credulity.

Hui Diren is benevolent and kind, and his mother's life is difficult to disobey, but his niece is young and contrary to human morality, Liu Ying, as an uncle, naturally can't do anything to his niece. The queen was not fortunate to be favored by the emperor, so naturally she was not pregnant.

The imperial doctor diagnosed and treated his pulse, and prescribed a lot of nurturing medicines and supplements, and Zhang Yan was obedient to take them, but there was definitely no good news.

Unfilial piety is great, and the emperor cannot have no heirs. Empress Lu made her own opinions, and she made many beauties for Huidi. These beauties are the same age as Emperor Hui, Emperor Hui is like a fish in water, like lacquer and glue, soaking with them all day long. The government has a queen mother's agent, and he doesn't bother to ask. Therefore, in less than two years, these concubines and beauties gave birth to six sons for him, namely Liu Gong, Liu Hong, King Liang, King Huaiyang, King Changshan, and Marquis Liu Chao.

The concubine has added a son to the emperor, and the Empress Dowager Lu should be happy! The emperor's son is his own grandson! But Empress Dowager Lu was not happy at all, she was afraid that Liu Ying's concubine and mother would be expensive by virtue of her son, and she would threaten her and Empress Zhang's status in the future. Therefore, all the concubines who gave birth to children, she sent people to kill them one by one!

Empress Lu had a whim, asked Zhang Yan to pretend to be pregnant, and then raised Liu Gong, the child born from Emperor Hui of Han and the palace, as her own child, and made him the crown prince.

The history books say that Emperor Hui's son was not born to Emperor Hui, but in fact, this is nonsense! The queen did not give birth, it was because Emperor Hui did not have sex with her, and it cannot be considered that Emperor Hui could not have children! Later, when Emperor Wen ascended the throne, Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and others killed Emperor Hui's four sons at the same time, claiming that they were mongrels to the outside world, which was excessive! Ruthless is the most emperor's family! This is a later story, so I won't press the table for the time being.

However, it was said that he was a native of Pei County, Liu Bang, and it was said that he was also the first batch of old comrades who participated in Liu Bang's revolutionary team. When Liu Bang left Peixian, he was left behind to take care of his father, wife and children. It is said that there is no high or low level in revolutionary work, but there is only a difference in the division of labor. But compared with other people who shed blood and sacrificed, his contribution is a bit unacceptable, so some people talked about it when he was crowned, saying that he relied on the queen's nepotism.

Liu Bang ignored this when he was alive, but after Liu Ying ascended the throne, he couldn't stand it. But he was not easy to justify his crimes, so he had to use the other misdeeds of the trial to issue an edict to lock him up, and signaled the court lieutenant to make him a capital crime.

When Empress Lu heard that he was arrested, she was really reluctant to intercede with Emperor Hui, but she knew that he was angry about this matter, and she had done something wrong, and she was ashamed of Emperor Hui. However, Cao Shen, Zhou Bo and others mostly hated him, and when they heard that he was going to be beheaded, they were too late to be happy, who was willing to save him? Emperor Hui also urged Tingwei to be convicted as soon as possible. Who knew that his life should not be extinguished, and at this time a man came out to save him.

This person's surname is Zhu Mingjian, a native of Chudi, and the former prime minister of Huainan Wang Yingbu, who was dismissed due to incidents. Later, he was a close minister of Yingbu, and Yingbu wanted to rebel that day, and asked Zhu Jian for advice, Zhu Jian advised him not to rebel, but Yingbu did not listen, so he rebelled against Han. Gaozu punished Yingbu, and heard that Zhu Jian had admonished Yingbu, so he named Zhu Jian as the king of the plains and moved his family to Chang'an. Zhu Jian is very eloquent, honest and unwilling to fornicate, although he lives in Beijing, he never interacts with the ministers and nobles, and only Lu Jia is close to him.

Soon Zhu's mother died, and Lu Jia rushed to Zhu Jian's house to mourn. Seeing that he was cold and the funeral was not done, he thought that his friend had suffered such a big reason, and he should help him, but he couldn't do it alone, so he had to go everywhere. Suddenly, he had a plan and hurriedly ran to his house to congratulate him.

He was stunned and asked, "What do I have to congratulate?" Lu Jia said calmly: "Pingyuanjun's mother is dead. When he heard this, he was even more inexplicable, so he said: "His mother has nothing to do with me, so why congratulate me?" Lu Jia said: "Pingyuanjun's mother has just died, because her family is poor and can't afford to bury her. If you can prepare a generous gift, Pingyuanjun will naturally be grateful, and he will definitely try to repay it in the future. He was very happy when he heard this, so according to Lu Jia's words, he sent someone to give Zhu Jian a hundred gold, saying that it was as a funeral fee. At this time, Zhu Jianzheng was in a hurry because he was unable to prepare for the funeral, and suddenly saw that he sent 100 gold, which was really powerful. Sure enough, it is easy to do things with money, and it will be done well in a few days. Zhu Jian was very grateful to the judge.

This time, he was imprisoned in prison, and he knew that the situation was in danger and his heart was sad, remembering that no one in the Manchu Dynasty had any concern for him, only Zhu Jian had been favored, and he did not come to see me when he heard that I was in prison. He then ordered his family to inform Zhu Jian and invite him to see him in prison. Zhu Jian said to the visitor: "This case is handled urgently, I really dare not see you." "Someone came to report and judge him, and he didn't feel angry and filled his chest, scolded Zhu Jian for being ungrateful, and saw that I was in trouble and didn't save me, and I didn't even want to see him, I really had no heart. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, seeing that Empress Lu was powerless, Zhu Jian was like this again, knowing that his hope was gone, so he had to sit and wait for the time of death.

In fact, Zhu Jian heard that he was sent to prison, and he felt his old kindness in his heart, and was pondering the rescue method, and sent someone to ask him to meet him in prison, Zhu Jian thought that he could only act in secret outside, and if he went to see him in prison, it would not be good to leak the news. So he resigned and refused to go to him, nor did he tell him the reason. Zhu Jian was thinking alone, but he thought of a clever plan.

Zhu Jian believes that the only way to intercede with the Lord is to find a competent person in this case, and there is no other way. But the lord was in a rage, and Empress Lu didn't dare to intercede. Other ministers were even more daring. Now if it is to be said that the Lord has changed his mind, it must be someone who he is particularly favored. And it can't be bribed to him, it can only scare him.

It turned out that Empress Lu killed Emperor Hui's concubines one by one, and Emperor Hui didn't dare to like women anymore. He later found a male pet named Hong Ru. Zhu Jian doesn't get along with him on weekdays, but now because he is bent on saving him, he visits his residence to ask for a meeting.

Hong Ru admired Zhu Jian's name for a long time, and he didn't expect him to be willing to visit, so he hurriedly greeted him. The cold hustle and bustle is over, Zhu Jian said very simply, you are the queen mother's lover, you Hongru is the emperor's same-sex partner, the emperor hates to judge him, and he will be punished, and the queen mother also hates you Hongru, can't you be punished? If you die, can you still exist? For the sake of today's plan, if you beg the Lord to pardon the Marquis of Biyang. The Queen Mother will definitely be grateful, and she won't hate you in the future. When Hong Ru heard this, he was terrified, and immediately acted according to the plan, begging Emperor Hui to release him for trial, otherwise the Queen Mother would find an excuse to kill him. Emperor Hui has always been kind, and he couldn't bear to be killed by the Queen Mother, so he issued an edict to try and pardon him.

I was overjoyed by the amnesty of his edict, thinking that it must be the power of Empress Lu, and returned home to secretly investigate, who knew that it was Hong Ru who saved him, thinking that Hong Ru had no friendship with me, how could he be willing to protect him with his life? So he went to Hong Ru's house to thank him, and asked the reason, only to know that it was Zhu Jian's plan.

Immediately went to Xie Zhujian. Zhu Jian told him not to leak his words. Judging the food, he respected Zhu Jian more and treated him as a courtesy.

Who knew that after the Xiongnu Mao Dunshan heard about this, he wanted to tease Lu Hou. So he made a book and sent an envoy to Chang'an. Lu Hou opened it and read it, only to see that the book reads:

The lonely king, born in frustration, grew up in the domain of cattle and horses in the plains, counted to the border, and is willing to travel to China. His Majesty is independent, living alone, the two masters are unhappy, there is no way to entertain themselves, and he is willing to give everything he has.

It means that I don't have a wife, you don't have a husband, and we're good together.

When Empress Lu saw the meaning of the book, every sentence was teasing her, she was furious and summoned the ministers and generals to the meeting. After reading the Huns' letter to the ministers, Empress Lu said: "The Huns are so rude, I want to cut them down so that I can send troops to attack them, I don't know what the kings think?" Before the ministers could speak, the Marquis of Wuyang Fan Xu stepped forward and said: "The ministers are willing to get 100,000 people and run rampant among the Huns." The ministers were very annoyed because of Empress Lu, and saw that Fan Xu was very interested, so they said yes together according to Empress Lu's meaning.

The only Ji Bu came out of class angrily and said, "Oh, you can cut it." Empress Lu and the ministers were taken by surprise, and they were all stunned when they heard this. Empress Lu asked why. Ji Budao: "In the past, Emperor Gao led an army of 400,000 troops to the north to attack the Huns, and Fan Xu, as a general, went out to fight, but was besieged by the Huns for seven days, and Fan Xu was unable to relieve the siege. Now Fan Xu's vain words can be rampant with 100,000 people, isn't it a face of deception? According to the minister's humble opinion, the Huns are like beasts, and it is not enough to be happy if he has good words, and it is not enough to be angry if he has bad words, so they can not discuss the conquest lightly. Ji Bu talked eloquently, and the courtiers in the palace were afraid of him. After Lu said that he was good, he made the great confessor Zhang Shi prepare a reply and give it to the carriage and horse. The book omits:

Just don't forget the eup, give it a book. We are afraid, and we are trying to retreat. Old age and decay, falling teeth, and walking out of order. Listening alone is not enough to defile oneself. We are not guilty, and it is advisable to be forgiven. There are two royal cars and two horses, so as to drive them regularly.

To be able to write such a national letter is not to save face at all! When the book was ready, he handed over the chariot and horse to the envoy, and asked him to bring the reply back to Mao Dunshan. Seeing that the book was humble, Mao Dun also felt that the previous book was abrupt, so he sent someone to thank her and ask for her daughter. Empress Dowager Lü took a young woman from the clan to marry the Xiongnu. Mao Dun was naturally happy and didn't want to ask for Empress Lu anymore.

However, the Han family's newly created high-sounding queen, a rich and honorable queen mother, was so insulted by Waiyi, and humbly thanked him for sending him a carriage and a horse, giving him a daughter, and asking how far the Chinese court body was humiliated! It is too much to blaspheme in the suicide note! The reply is not resigned, and the excuse is old age. If the age is not declining, is it really married to the Huns? What do you say about Empress Dowager Lu being resolute, and Zuo Gaozu calms the world! In fact, except for using deception to kill the heroes and use the power in her hands to seal Zhu Lu, I can't see what she is capable of! Isn't it persuasion to cross the river and tear down the bridge for nepotism? History shouldn't be written like that!

Empress Lü not only perfunctory the Xiongnu, but also wanted to transfer Emperor Hui to live in exile, so as not to hinder her from having fun. It turned out that Emperor Hui and Empress Lu lived in Changle Palace together, seeing each other day and night, since the pardon of the trial of it, Emperor Hui still couldn't let go of it, so he often paid attention to guarding against Empress Lu. Empress Lu knew the traces at first, and after a while, he summoned the judge to enter the palace. He was fortunate to be pardoned and saved his life, so he naturally closed his door and did not dare to be called. Helplessly, Lu Hou wanted to be entangled. Emperor Hui had pardoned his sins last time, and now it is not easy to make a fuss by taking advantage of things.

Liu Ying has a gentle personality and is often under great pressure from her mother. After seeing Mrs. Qi being mutilated by her mother as a "human being" in the latrine, she was already sick; forced himself to marry his niece, in name only; Later, he killed his favorite concubine and made the child an orphan. 's mother secretly cheated on her, Liu Ying was angry and hateful, but she was helpless against them.

After Zhang Yan married Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, she was always a virgin. At the beginning of August of the seventh year of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ying was ill, and Zhang Yan went to inquire about the disease. Emperor Hui said to Zhang Yan: "Ah Yan has grown up, and people can't bear to give up. Although the beauty is like this, there is no day of happiness as a husband and wife, is this also fate?" On the twelfth, Emperor Hui actually died in Weiyang Palace.

Jiangmen is not a tiger, but he is a good emperor. In summary, Emperor Hui's life, he lost love with Gaozu in the first half of his life and lived a conscientious life; In the second half of his life, he was subject to Empress Lu and lived a groggy life. But he didn't do a single bad thing after all.
