However, it is said that Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, collected his troops and returned to China, and died of illness in a few years, and was called the king of mourning, and his son Liu Zehei was established, and died again in 14 years, and he was called the king of Wen. Liu Ze has no children, and as usual, he should be removed from the country. Emperor Wen remembered his previous achievements and couldn't bear to remove the Qi State, but divided the land into six countries, and named Liu Fei's six sons as kings. The eldest son Jiang Lu is the king of Qi, the second son Liu Zhi is the king of Jibei, the third son Liu Xian is the king of Jiangchuan, the fourth son Liu Xiongqu is the king of Jiaodong, the fifth son Liu Wei is the king of Jiaoxi, and the sixth son Liu Piguang is the king of Jinan. The six kings were enshrined on the same day, and they all visited the town.

Liu Bi, the king of Wu, was originally a cousin of Emperor Wen. Since the eleventh year of Gaozu, he has four counties, and Gaozu died not long after arriving in the country. When Emperor Hui Lu was the queen, because the world was newly decided, the princes and kings were allowed to rule their own countries, and Liu Bi found out that the local copper in his own county was produced, so he recruited outlaws from all over the world to mine copper mountains and mint money privately, and boiled seawater for salt to monopolize the profits.

After Emperor Wen ascended the throne, Liu Bi should come to the court, thinking that he was the brother of Emperor Wen, and he couldn't come in person, so he sent his prince Liu Xian to Beijing to meet him. Emperor Wen treated it politely, and because he was his nephew, he ordered the crown prince to accompany him to a banquet and play.

The crown prince Liu Qi and the prince of Wu Liu Xian were originally cousins again, and there was no grudge against him, at this time Liu Xian entered the court, Liu Qi was ordered by his father to accompany him to the banquet, of course, he was very happy to greet each other. After a few days, I got used to each other, and gradually felt familiar and laughed and talked casually. Prince Wu was accompanied by a master who came in and out, and Taoer went to the team to find fun, in addition to drinking every day, sometimes also playing and relaxing. The two sat opposite each other and held chess, standing on the left as a courtier of the East Palace, and on the right as the master of Prince Wu, and the counselor from the side.

They bet on each other several times, each with a winner or a loser. Prince Wu refused to give up, and had to fight with the crown prince. Liu Qi also refused to show weakness, so he played chess with him and won. At the moment of life and death, the crown prince mistakenly met with a veteran, Prince Wu covered it with one hand, and then used his own general to eat Liu Qi's general, Liu Qi refused to admit defeat, saying that if the general couldn't get out, he would regret making a mistake. Prince Wu said: "Fart! The veteran will meet, why can't he get out? If you make a mistake first, I can come out and eat you! The two argued. Most of Prince Wu's masters are Chu people, helping Prince Wu to fight, you say, I say, all say that the crown prince is wrong. The crown prince is the prince after all, and he has never been so wronged, and he can't help but be angry from his heart, and evil is born to the side of his guts; He picked up the chessboard and threw it at Prince Wu's head. Prince Wu was unprepared, and he fainted immediately before he could dodge, and his brain burst out and died in an instant!

Of course, Prince Wu and the others made a noise, and the attendants of the East Palace protected the prince to go out and play Emperor Wen. Emperor Wen was also surprised, but it was not good to offend the prince, so he had to admonish him, and summoned Prince Wu's master and other kind words to persuade him. On the one hand, he buried Prince Wu and ordered his master to send the coffin back to Wu. Liu Bi, the king of Wu, was sad and hateful and unwilling to accept it, and said angrily: "Today, the next family will be buried in Chang'an if they die in Chang'an, why send it?" At that time, he sent officials to intercept the coffin and still asked him to send it back to Chang'an. Emperor Wen also buried him when he heard the news, and from then on, Liu Bi, the king of Wu, was resentful and did not observe the courtier's festival, and was arrogant and rude whenever the court envoy arrived. The envoy returned to Emperor Wen, and Emperor Wen knew that he forgave three points for his son's hatred. The repatriation envoy summoned Liu Biao to Beijing, intending to explain the grievances and reconcile in person. Liu Bi was reluctant to respond to the call, and returned to the court under the pretext of illness. Emperor Wen sent people to Wu to inquire again, and saw that Liu Bi was not ill and returned to report the truth. Emperor Wen was angry, and whenever the envoy of Wu came to Beijing, Emperor Wen asked the king of Wu why he did not go to court and imprisoned the envoy for punishment. At the same time, Wu envoys came to the west to meet Emperor Wen. Emperor Wen asked King Wu why he refused to enter the court because of his illness? Envoy Wu calmly replied: "King Wu was unable to go to court because of his son's unjust death, and now His Majesty has found that he is a prisoner and an envoy. King Wu was very worried, lest he be punished. If His Majesty is more urgent, King Wu will not dare to enter the court. I hope that Your Majesty will not blame the past and make him reform, and King Wu will be tolerant and naturally pleasing to His Majesty. Emperor Wen felt justified when he heard this, so he released all the envoys of Wu and sent a few rods to the king of Wu. King Wu did not dare to be angry.

However, it was said that Bo Zhao was awarded the title of Taiyuan because of his meritorious work in establishing his nephew Emperor Wen of Han. Taiyuan is not prosperous, but it is also a rich place. When Bo Zhao first came to Taiyuan, he was still able to maintain the identity that his uncle should have, and he was cautious everywhere, for fear of giving others the impression that he was arrogant and domineering.

After a long time, Bo Zhao felt that Taiyuan was not the hinterland of the capital, and he did not have much intersection with the ministers of the DPRK and China, so he began to slowly relax his vigilance.

Although Bo Zhao is a little relaxed, he is not indulgent, and he does not dare to exceed the legislation that should be observed, after all, he knows the way to be an official, and he understands that it is not easy to start a business today.

But the children of the Bo family didn't think so, and felt that Bo Zhao had become the emperor's uncle, and if he hadn't strongly supported Emperor Liu Heng of the Han Dynasty, his cousin would not be where he is today.

Soon the bad reputation of the Bo family spread to Chang'an, and Emperor Wen of Han sent his favorite retainer Zhong Yu to inspect it. Zhong Yu went there to see that the children of the Bo Zhao family were really eating the people. Zhong Yu played the ins and outs of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, and asked Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty to kill Bo Gui, who was the leader.

Bo Zhao was very panicked when he heard about this, and hurriedly sent someone to intercede with Zhong Yu, but Zhong Yu didn't accept this set, but insisted on his own opinion.

Bo Zhao saw that the soft one was not good, so he simply came to the hard one, tied Zhong Yu, and intimidated him. Zhong Yu, as the emperor's hand-picked envoy, naturally would not be afraid of Bo Zhao, the two scolded each other back and forth, Bo Zhao did not suppress his anger for a while, and stabbed Zhong Yu to death with a knife.

After Zhong Yu was killed, Emperor Wen of Han was extremely angry. As the king of a country, his favored ministers can be arbitrary, but they can't be above the imperial power. The envoy sent by Emperor Wen of Han represents Emperor Wen of Han himself, and now that the envoy is killed, it is tantamount to provoking his imperial power.

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty did not say a word, and issued an edict to execute Bo Zhao. At this time, someone among the ministers stopped him and said: "The Han Dynasty has always ruled the world with filial piety, and if you kill your uncle today, Your Majesty will be unfilial." The other faction said: "The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, if he does not kill the emperor's uncle, how can he explain to the people of the world."

Emperor Wen of Han was inclined to kill Bo Zhao in his heart, but he was afraid that he would be accused of unfilial piety, so he sent the prime minister to see Bo Zhao many times, suggesting that Bo Zhao would do it himself. Bo Zhao also let go at this time, even if he doesn't commit suicide, he won't leave the house, see what you can do to me.

It was a grace for the Emperor to allow the minister to commit suicide if he committed a capital crime, so that he could keep a whole body from the humiliation of being beheaded, and at the same time show that the matter would not be pursued further and that his family would not be implicated. I don't know if Bo Zhao thinks he doesn't deserve to die or fantasizes that his sister Empress Dowager Bo will come to save him, but he just refuses to commit suicide anyway.

Emperor Wen of Han thought to himself, if you don't have a face, then don't blame your nephew for being ruthless. He sent the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to go to Bo Mansion to mourn, gather from the gate of the palace, and everyone cried and shouted to the emperor's uncle, and they did not stop until Bo Mansion. They all sat in the courtyard and hall, crying for several days.

In the end, Bo Zhao was tortured to the core, and at the same time, he saw that his nephew was determined to get along with him, so he committed suicide at home.

Emperor Wen of Han killed Bo Zhao, the biggest fuse was the killing of the envoy Zhong Yu, and Emperor Wen of Han had to kill his uncle in order to maintain law and order.

Actually, the reason is not so.

"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people", this sentence is just a slogan of feudal society, in the era of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, people's consciousness is more "not a doctor"! The crown prince of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty accidentally killed the crown prince of King Wu, and Emperor Wen not only did not pursue him for manslaughter, but also did not touch his status as the crown prince; Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, made a kingdom decree without authorization, expelled the court officials and conferred official titles, and Emperor Wen asked Bo Zhao to write a letter to rebuke him, Liu Chang not only did not listen to the advice, but also really rebelled. For this kind of great rebellion, Emperor Wen did not kill him, but only abolished Liu Chang's royal title.

Bo Zhao is Emperor Wen's uncle, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Bo, at this time the Empress Dowager Bo is still alive, why did Emperor Wen force this uncle to death.

Now people's opinion is that Emperor Wen of Han wanted to prevent the dictatorship of his relatives.

After Liu Bang's death, his son Liu Ying became emperor. Due to Liu Ying's relative weakness, Empress Lu actually held power. After Liu Ying's death, Empress Lü became the de facto emperor in the dynasty. She changed the covenant between Liu Bang and the ministers that "if you are not Liu, you must not be king", and named Zhu Lu as king. At this time, the emperor was abolished by the Empress Dowager Lu, and the momentum of the king surnamed Lu overshadowed the king surnamed Liu, and the world of the Liu family almost became the world of the Lu family. How Emperor Wen of Han ascended to the throne of the emperor, he himself knew very well. It is precisely because of the excessive power of the Lu family's relatives that Emperor Hui was slaughtered, and he was fortunate to be the emperor, otherwise it would not have been his turn to turn eight times.

Extrapolate this situation backwards, if the Bo family becomes the Lu family, or the Bo family dies in the Liu family, or another emperor surnamed Liu appears, then it will not be his descendants of Liu Heng. In order to prevent problems before they happen, he took this opportunity to get rid of Bo Zhao and prevent the Lu story from repeating itself.

Because Emperor Wen of Han had just sat on the throne and had not dealt much with Chang'an before, after he ascended the throne, many ministers of the court and the central government did not fear him very much. In order to establish authority to the ministers of the court and the people of the world, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty killed his own uncle, which was to show the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty that he was not good at stubble, and it was best not to act excessively.

Therefore, it is often said that the emperor's family has no flesh and blood affection at all. The royal family will only attack each other for the throne, and once their own interests are touched, not to mention that Emperor Wen of Han killed his uncle Bo Zhao, and Li Shimin killed his brother without blinking.

Bo Zhao died, his nephew lived for another thirteen years, and his sister Empress Dowager Bo lived for another fifteen years. It is strange that Empress Dowager Bo did not ask Emperor Wen how his younger brother died! She probably really thought that Bo Zhao had committed suicide. When things are silent for a while, even if the old lady knows that Bo Zhao was forced to die, between the living son and the dead brother, who can the Empress Dowager Bo defend?
