54 Liu Heng ascended the throne

Zhu Lu was punished, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo sent Zhu Xuhou Liu Zhang to Qi and asked Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, to quit the army; Then he was notified to irrigate the baby, so that he could return to the court. deliberately supported Liu Zhang, so as not to have a conflict when the new emperor was discussed, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo had already prepared.

Liu Xiang raised troops, the slogan was to kill those who were not worthy of being kings, and his heart was to be the emperor. Now that the person who is not the king has been removed, it is not good for him to openly say that he wants to be the emperor, so he has no choice but to withdraw and return to Qi.

The Minister of the Interior and the Interior secretly discussed the aftermath. But listening to Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and others, he declared: "In the past, the young emperor set up by the Empress Dowager Lu, and the three kings of Jichuan, Huaiyang, and Hengshan, were actually not the widows of Emperor Hui, and they entered the palace under false names and were indiscriminately knighted. Now that Zhu Lu has been removed, he can't help but correct his name and distinguish the fallacy, if he makes his surname chaotic, he will grow up to be a national soldier in the future, and he will still be the same as the Lu family, and we will wait for nothing! It is better to choose the virtuous among the kings of the Liu family to avoid disaster. This argument will come out, and the public agrees. And when it comes to the kings of the Liu family, some people stand up and advocate that Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, is the eldest grandson of Emperor Gao and should be welcomed. Liu Ze refuted in his speech: "The Lu family outside the family has to be poisonous, harming the Xun relatives, endangering the community, and now the uncle of the Queen Mother of Qi is like a tiger wearing a crown and acting violently, if the king of Qi is established, Sijun will inevitably be dictatorial, it is to go to a Lu clan, and come back to a Lu clan." How can this be done? When Chen Ping and Zhou Bo heard this, of course they echoed Liu Ze's words, and they didn't want to set up Liu Xiang, Liu Ze might be the instigator of Chen Ping and Zhou Bo. The public reconsidered another matter, and publicly recommended a representative Wang Heng, and said two reasons: one is that the acting king is longer, and he is benevolent and filial, and he is worthy of being a king; The second is that the Bo family of the queen mother has always been long-lasting, and has not tried to be in politics, but there is no other trouble. These two virtues are indeed justified. Ping and Bo followed the public opinion, and Yin sent people to see the king to welcome him into Beijing.

Acting King Liu Heng received the envoy to ask for clarification, although he felt that it was a great joy, but he did not dare to leave suddenly, so he convened a meeting of his subordinates. Lang Zhong ordered Zhang Wu and others to discourage: "The ministers of the court are all old generals of Emperor Gao, and they are good at scheming and scheming. In the past, the Empress Dowager Lu of the Gao Emperor successively controlled the palace, and she did not dare to do wrong, and now she has to destroy the blood of Zhu Lu and the Beijing Division, why do you have to set up a foreign domain? The king should not be credulous, and he should not wait and see the changes of time. Before the words fell, a person suddenly entered and said: "What the kings said is not right, the king should be ordered to enter the capital when he has this opportunity, why be suspicious?" The acting king looked at Lieutenant Song Chang and was about to ask, but Song Chang continued: "The king is expected to have no worries about this trip!" Imagine the tyranny of Qin's loss of government and heroes, the one who didn't want to be respected, and later had to practice the throne of the Liu family, and the world held its breath and didn't dare to have extravagant hopes, this is the first worry-free. Emperor Gao divides the prince and brother, the terrain is like a dog's tooth and solid like a rock, the world is not afraid of might, and this second piece can also be worry-free. After the Han Dynasty, in addition to Qin's harsh government, when the decree was agreed, the people's hearts were satisfied, so how could it be shaken. This third piece is not to be worried. It is the recent Emperor Lu called the system, set up Zhu Lu as the three kings, how majestic the dictatorship is, the Taiwei entered the Northern Army with a section, and shouted with his arms, and the soldiers were all left to help Liu destroy Lu, which shows that the will of heaven belongs to Liu, and it is not exclusively on manpower. Although the ministers want to change, but the people refuse to listen, how can it be done? In the situation, there are Zhu Xu, Dongmu and two marquis, and there are Wu, Chuhuai, and the southern Qi dynasties, all of which subdue each other and will not dare to move. Now Emperor Gao's heirs are only the king, and the reputation of the king is rumored all over the world. Therefore, the ministers obeyed public opinion to welcome the king. The king can go and rule the world, so why be suspicious! ”

The acting king is cautious, and there are three points of suspicion, which is the Bo family after entering the white mother. After many hardships in the palace before the Empress Dowager Bo, she was fortunate to get out of the eastward journey to avoid disaster. On behalf of the king, he sent his maternal uncle Bo Zhao to the capital to ask Ming Zhou Bo first; Zhou Bo greeted the king with sincerity and swore that he had no other intentions. Bo Zhao immediately reported back to the acting king, and the acting king smiled at Song Chang and said: "If it is like the king's words, there is no need to doubt it!" Immediately prepared the car, boarded the car with Song Chang, and the six people including Zhang Wu followed the post westward.

When he arrived in Gaoling, it was only dozens of miles away from Chang'an, and the king was not at ease, so that Song Chang took another stagecoach into the capital to observe the changes. Song Changchi arrived at Weiqiao, but saw that all the ministers were already waiting, so he got out of the car and said that the acting king was coming to report on the matter. The ministers said in unison: "I have been waiting for a long time. Song Chang saw that all the ministers came out to greet him, and he expected to agree, so he boarded the car back to Gaoling, and asked the king to move forward with peace of mind. The acting king then drove forward by his order, and when he reached the Wei Bridge, all the ministers had already knelt down and proclaimed themselves. The acting king also got out of the car to pay respects, and Song Chang also followed. When the ministers got up, Zhou Bo rushed forward to enter the king of the Bai Dynasty, please leave the screen. Song Chang said with a straight face on the side: "The captain can tell you everything if he has something; What is said is public, and what is said is public; What is said is selfish, the king is selfless! ”。 Zhou Bo was said by Song Changyi, and he knelt down abruptly with a red cheek, and took out the Son of Heaven Fu Seal to present it to the king. On behalf of Wang Qian, he thanked him: "It's not too late to discuss it again in the palace." Zhou Bonai stood up with the seal, and asked the acting king to board the car and enter the capital, and he was the leader until the acting residence. In the middle of the ninth month of the eighth year of Gaohou, Zhou Bo and Chen Ping led the group of officials to persuade them to advance. Slightly cloudy:

Taiwei Chenbo, Prime Minister Chenping, General Chenwu, Yushi Dafu Chencang, etc., bow to the king's feet: the pseudo-young emperor Liu Hong and others are not the sons of the filial piety emperor, and they should not be Fengzong Temple, the king is the son of the high emperor, and he should be the heir, may the king be the son of heaven!

On behalf of the king, Lanshu thanked him: "Flattering the temple of Emperor Gao is a heavy matter, and the widow is not enough to do this, I would like to ask the king of Chu to come and make a proper discussion and elect a virtuous monarch." The ministers and others asked again, but they all fell down and refused to get up. On behalf of the king, he took his seat, let the west go three times, and then let the south go, or stubbornly. Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and others said in unison: "The ministers have been discussed several times, and now they are in the temple of Emperor Gao, only the king is the most suitable, regardless of the heavens and the people, the ministers are not rash for the temple society, and they are not rash, may the king be fortunate to listen to the ministers, and the ministers will be honored with the seal of the Son of Heaven and then bow to it!" "As he spoke, Zhou Bo held the seal case, and he must accept it on behalf of the king. The acting king agreed: "The clan will be the princes and kings of the clan who are determined to appoint widows, and the widows will not dare to disobey the people, and they will accept the unification!" "The ministers all danced and congratulated, that is, they respected the king as the Son of Heaven and Emperor Wen.

Liu Xingju, the Marquis of Dongmu, said: "This time the destruction of the Lu family is useless, and I am willing to be ordered to clear the palace." "Emperor Wen promised to go with the prince Ruyin Hou Xiahou Ying. The two of them went to Weiyang Palace and said to the young emperor: "If you are not the son of the Liu family, you should not be the emperor, please give way!" As he spoke, he waved away the halberd on his left and right. Xiahou Ying called the young emperor out of the palace. Young Emperor Liu Hong trembled and said, "What do you want to take me?" Xiahou Ying said: "Out of the house!" Saying that, he ordered the people to drive the royal car out, and at least the government office, and ordered the young emperor to get out of the car and live (do you remember that when Han Gaozu fled for his life, Xiahou Ying saved Liu Bang's children regardless of life and death, why is he unwilling to protect the young emperor now?) In fact, everything is to ask the master for credit)

Emperor Wen entered the palace on the eve of the day, and as soon as he arrived at the end gate, there were still ten people holding halberds to block the royal car, and said loudly: "The Son of Heaven is still here, how can he trespass?" Emperor Wen was not surprised, and hurriedly sent people to tell Zhou Bo. Zhou Bo heard the order and galloped into the ten people and told them to avoid. When the ten people knew that the new Son of Heaven was coming, they immediately abandoned the halberd and avoided it, and Emperor Wen was allowed to enter.

It was the night when the young emperor Liu Hong died violently in the Shaofu Bureau. There are also Liu Chao, the king of Changshan, Liu Wu, the king of Huaiyang, and Liu Tai, the king of Liang, although they were crowned by the king at that time, they all stayed in the capital because they were young and did not go to the country, and they were also killed at the same time.

Later, the history books said that the sons of Emperor Hui of Han were not biological, and Emperor Hui of Han had no sons. But if you think about it carefully, you can understand, how could these princes not be Emperor Hui of Han? Emperor Hui is not a close relative of Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan can't have children, but other women can! As a result, the descendants of Liu Bang and Empress Lu all died under the butcher's knives of the heroes.

If Emperor Hui of Han's son was killed, forget it! When Empress Lü was alive, she let the princes surnamed Liu marry the daughter of the Lü family, and Liu Heng was no exception, and his queen was also surnamed Lü. In order to prevent the resurgence of the Lu family's relatives, the heroes soon executed the acting queen and her four sons. Isn't the son of the acting queen also Liu Heng's son?

Writing this, the author can't help but feel frightened by the ruthlessness, ruthlessness and ability of the heroes to make up nonsense.

Although Emperor Hui's empress Zhang Yan saved her life, she was inevitably implicated. Liu Heng deposed her as queen and placed her in the North Palace. Since then, Zhang Yan began her lonely and lonely life, and finally died in the first year of the Later Yuan Dynasty at the age of 40. After Zhang Yan died, the palace maids purified her body and found that Zhang Yan was still a virgin, and she didn't know what to look at. After the people heard the news, they worshipped Zhang Yan as the "god of flowers".

Emperor Wen was grateful to Zhou Bo and Chen Ping who welcomed him, but he was not grateful at all for the brothers Liu Zhang and Liu Xingju, who were the first to eradicate Zhulu. "And Emperor Wen, I heard that Liu Zhang and Liu Xingju wanted to establish the king of Qi at the beginning, so they deposed their merits." In the eyes of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Zhulu and Yingli are two different things, and Yingli is more important to himself. The purpose of Liu Zhang's brother killing the Lu clan was to meet Liu Xiang, which was obviously intolerable; On the other hand, the Liu Zhang brothers are full of wings and famous all over the world in Beijing, and Emperor Wen is just a newcomer, and he will not tolerate a royal prince with a big tail to show off his power in front of him, not to mention that they are not convinced that they are the emperor! After that, the brothers Liu Zhang and Liu Xingju were all sent back to their fiefdoms, and the famous Zhu Xuhou suddenly became a wilted eggplant. Liu Ruyi also returned to the fiefdom with him. For Liu Ruyi, whoever becomes the emperor has nothing to do with him! His mother's revenge has been avenged, and he is already satisfied! If he jumps out and says that he is Zhao Wang Ruyi, all that awaits him is death! is the most ruthless emperor's family, the emperor's throne is a spell, as long as it is stained, it will be enchanted, and the desire for self-power is crazy and skyrocketing, and others are never allowed to provoke.

In the second year of Emperor Wen, Liu Zhang died suddenly in the fiefdom, and the cause of death was not recorded in the history books. It is conceivable that Liu Zhang risked his life to kill Lu Chan and Lu Gengshi, but in the end, he did not get any benefits, and was driven back to the fiefdom by Emperor Wen! Lu Lu is Liu Zhang's father-in-law, he usually treats Liu Zhang well, the whole family was killed, Liu Zhang doesn't care, what will his wife think? What will the children think? I guess Liu Zhang must have been!

Liu Xingju saw his brother angry and died, more and more resentful, later the Xiongnu invaded, Emperor Wen went to Gaonu, Liu Xingju thought that the royal drive was pro-conquest, Guanzhong must be empty, so he immediately raised troops to the west, intending to attack Xingyang. Emperor Wen was convinced and urgently ordered the general Chai Wu to quell the rebellion.

On the day when Liu Xingju raised his troops, a strong wind suddenly came from the east, and it blew its flag into the sky, and it took a long time before it fell. and they sent men to find it, but they were in the well on the west side of the city. And the army will march, and the war horses will not advance. Li Kuo and others gave advice, but Liu Xingju did not listen.

When he arrived in Xingyang, he met Chai Wujun, a big battle, was killed in pieces, and fled in all directions. Chai Wu took advantage of the victory to catch up, followed reluctantly, Liu Xingju was in a hurry, ran wildly on his horse, stepped on the air, and the horse fell down, knocking Liu Xingju to the ground. The pursuers had arrived, so they grabbed it and brought him to Chai Wu, who put him in a prisoner car and escorted him back to Beijing. Liu Xingju knew that he was inevitable, so he committed suicide. Liu Xingju is not as meritorious as his brother, but he dares to rebel, how can he not die.

From then on, Liu Bang's other descendants did not pose a threat to the throne, and Emperor Wen of Han sat back and relaxed. In order to repay Mrs. Qi for rescuing the grace of Gaozu, Emperor Wen corrected Mrs. Qi's name and set up a temple to commemorate it. The site of the temple is in Qiji Village, Liangji Town, fifteen miles northeast of Suining County, Jiangsu Province. The site of the temple is still there, and the temple of Qi Jiyuan is connected to the clouds:

The red clothes and green sleeves follow Gao Zu Ping for thousands of miles,

The song and the clouds and the dancing fairy posture once made women admire;

Qing Shi Danxin has been worried about King Zhao for half a lifetime,

Prison Yongxiang is a man, and he directly orders Xu Mei to rest.

Liu Ruyi was very grateful for Emperor Wen's practice of building a temple for his biological mother, but he did not dare to reveal his identity, he lived in the temple as a homeless man to guard his mother's tomb, and did not marry a wife and have children until he was in his forties. He never told outsiders that he was the son of Gaozu, nor did he let his descendants tell outsiders. His descendants are all surnamed Zhou, but by word of mouth, they all know that they are Liu Bang's descendants.

said that Zhou Bo was meritorious because of his support for Emperor Wen, and he always looked arrogant every time he retreated; But Emperor Wen often watched him leave. Yuan Ang watched from the side, and said alone: "Your Majesty regards the prime minister as a human being? Emperor Wen said: "The prime minister is a minister of the society!" Yuan Ang said: "The prime minister is a meritorious hero, and he cannot be called a social minister." In ancient times, what the ministers of the society did, the king must survive and survive, the king died and died, and when the Cheng was quite in power by the Lu family, he could not save the right as a captain; Later, Empress Lu had collapsed, and the princes conspired to rebel, and the prime minister took the opportunity to invite credit. Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, he has been specially rewarded and saluted, and the prime minister is not introspective, but his face is colorful, is it really the case of the minister? Emperor Wen listened and silently did not answer. Since then, I have seen that I have entered the dynasty and is cautious. Zhou Bo felt that something was wrong and didn't dare to boast again.

However, it was said that Zhou Bo, the right prime minister of the Tianwen Emperor's adviser, said: "How long is it in the world to be sentenced to prison within a year? Zhou Bo replied that he did not know. Emperor Wen asked again how much money valley goes in and out every year? Zhou Bo couldn't say it again, and he still didn't know. Although he answered directly, he was very ashamed in his heart, and he was so anxious that he was drenched in cold sweat on his back. Emperor Wen saw that Zhou Bo couldn't speak, and he even advised Chen Ping on the left. Chen Ping was also not familiar with this matter, and said casually with a momentary wit: "These two things have their own full-time, and Your Majesty does not need to ask the ministers." Emperor Wen said: "Who is in charge of this matter?" Chen Ping replied: "Your Majesty wants to know the geometry of the prison, please ask Tingwei." If you want to ask about the entry and exit of Qian Valley, please ask the history of Zhisu. Emperor Wen said: "According to this, what are you in charge of?" Chen Ping bowed to the ground and thanked: "Your Majesty does not know that the ministers are dull, the ministers treat the prime minister, the prime minister's duties, the upper Zuo Tianzi is the yin and yang, the four times, the lower cares for the people, the Ming Shuwu, the four princes of the outer town, and the internal envoy and the doctor perform their duties, but the relationship is very important." Emperor Wen listened and nodded his head and praised it. Zhou Bo saw that Chen Ping's answer was fluent, and he felt even more dwarfed. When Emperor Wen retreated from the dynasty and came out with Chen Ping, he complained to Chen Ping: "Why don't you teach me first!" ”。 Chen Ping said with a smile: "The monarch is in the phase, don't you know your duties." If the lord asks how many thieves there are in Chang'an, how will the king answer? Zhou Bo had nothing to say, and retreated silently, knowing that he was not as good as peace, and he already had the intention of going. Coincidentally, someone said to him: "The king has punished Zhu Lu, established the king, and shocked the world, be careful that the master of high merit will set himself on fire." Zhou Bo was frightened by him, and immediately wrote to thank him for his illness and resigned from the post of right prime minister.
