79 The two kings rebelled
However, it was said that Waiyi had not been naturalized, but civil strife occurred again, and Liu An, the king of Huainan, and Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, conspired against each other and actually wanted to shake the country.
Liu An and Liu Ci are both the sons of Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, and Emperor Wen took pity on Liu Chang for losing his country and committing suicide, so he divided Huainan's hometown into three points and named Liu Chang's sons Liu An, Liu Bo, and Liu Ci as kings. Liu Boxian Wang Hengshan, moved to Jibei, and died soon after. Liu Ci migrated from Lujiang to Hengshan, although he and Liu An were brothers, the two were incompatible.
Liu An is good at reading, even better at playing the piano, he doesn't like to hunt and play, since he is a king, he also wants to win the hearts of the people and attract scribes. So when the Quartet heard the news, there were no less than thousands of people. There are thunder quilts, Wu quilts, hair quilts and others. Liu Anling diners wrote 21 books and 33 books, which is the "Huainanzi" passed down from ancient to modern times. Emperor Wu is good at literature and art, and seeing Liu An's erudition and literacy, of course, he is important, and he is an uncle, so he looks at it differently.
Liu An is said to be the founder of Chinese tofu and soy milk. At that time, Huainan was rich in high-quality soybeans, and the mountain people here had the habit of using soybean milk milled by the pearl spring water on the mountain as a drink since ancient times. One day, Liu An was holding a bowl of soy milk by the stove to watch alchemy, but he forgot the soybean milk bowl in his hand, and when he sprinkled his hand, the soy milk splashed on a small piece of gypsum for alchemy next to the furnace. After a while, the plaster was gone, but the liquid soy milk became a white, tender thing. Shumita of Bagong Mountain boldly tasted it and thought it was very delicious. It's a pity that there are too few, so Liu An asked people to bring the soybean milk he didn't finish with the pot, crushed the gypsum and stirred it into the soy milk, and for a while a pot of white and tender things was produced. Liu An called "bizarre, bizarre". This is where tofu comes from.
First of all, when Liu An first arrived in Chang'an, Taiwei Tian Wei greeted him, and said to Liu An: "Now there is no prince in the lord, and the king is the grandson of Emperor Gao, who is benevolent and righteous, and the world has heard of it. The palace car is driven every day, in addition to the king, who should stand? Liu An was overjoyed when he heard this, so he gave many treasures to Tian Wei. In fact, Tian Wei just used sweet words to flatter Liu An to deceive him of his property, even if Emperor Wu had no children, Liu An was a sparse house, and the throne would not be on him. Who knew that Liu An was confused by Tian Wei, and he was born a conspiracy.
One day a comet appeared in the east, and its length was as long as the sky. Speaking of comets, there are many types of comets, and they also have certain orbits, and when they appear can be predicted in advance, which is no different. However, at that time, the academic situation was not developed, and the people were superstitious, and when they encountered uncommon things, they were referred to as monsters. If it appears, there will be chaos in the world. I saw that it was dragging a long tail, and its light energy was vigorous, and it was all fearful. On that day, the comet appeared in Huainan, so he could see it more clearly, and Liu An was surprised when he saw it. A guest next to him said to Liu An: "I remember that Wu Chu also appeared when the comet appeared, and its length was no more than a few feet; Now that the comet is in the sky, the world will be in chaos. "When Liu An heard this, he thought that there is no prince in the lord, once the world changes, the princes and kings of all countries must fight for the throne, and only those with strong troops can obtain it, so I should arrange it as soon as possible. So he secretly made weapons and accumulated money, and sent people to contact the counties and prepare for the army.
At this time, King Ying of Minyue raised troops to attack South Vietnam, and South Vietnam sent people for help. Emperor Wu asked Han Anguo to lead the troops to ask for it, but Liu An wrote to discourage him, but Emperor Wu did not listen.
Liu Ansheng has two sons, the eldest son's name is not harmful, but he is a concubine; The second son, named Qian, was born to the queen. The queen's surname was very favored, so she set up her son to move to the crown prince.
There is also a female famous tomb, who is smart by nature and very eloquent, and is loved by Liu An. If he wants to rebel now, he summoned his daughter to inform him of his intentions, and ordered him to go to Chang'an to listen to the movements of the imperial court and report it at any time. He also took out a lot of money and handed it over to Liu Ling for him to use.
In the ancient patriarchal society, there were few shadows of women in rebellions, and most of them were a group of people who were affected after the failure of the family rebellion, and they were passive and pitiful. But Liu Ling is different, she is actively involved in it and plays a key role. Why did Liu Ang arrange it this way? There are two reasons for this:
First, Liu Ling is a very attractive woman, and she can capture key people with her beauty. Wei Qing has a military general named Zhang Cigong, who is the Marquis of the shore and controls the Northern Army. The Northern Army was a standing army of the Han Dynasty, named because it was stationed in the north of Chang'an City. Think about it, if a prince wants to rebel, what does he need besides having the force to fight Chang'an? That may be to control the force of Chang'an itself, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort.
Liu Ling went to Chang'an according to his words. She is considered to be Emperor Wu's cousin, known as Lord Weng at that time, she is not only a clan, but also a woman, and she can enter and leave the palace at will. Liu Ling lived in Chang'an unrestrained, and she acted recklessly. He had an affair with the grandson of Anping Hou Eqianqiu, and the two were very close. Liu Ling informed Edan. But he was fascinated by sex in every possible way, and privately wrote to Liu An as a minister, and said that he was willing to do his best. Liu Ling had obtained Edan, but it was not enough, and secretly got acquainted with Zhang Cigong, the Marquis of the shore, and gave him a lot of property. Zhang Cigong turned against him. As for the details, it is not known.
Secondly, women tend to make people take their guard lightly and let their guard down. Why did the emperor ask the princes and vassal kings not to enter the capital without an edict? This is for security reasons - if the princes can enter and leave Chang'an at will, it means that his army and the forces of the feudal state will also be brought into Chang'an at any time, posing a threat to the Son of Heaven; At the same time, the bureaucratic system of the capital was also easily infiltrated by the princes and thus used by him.
In the later years of Emperor Wu, Huo Qubing once made a statement, asking other princes other than the crown prince to go to the fiefdom quickly, one of the reasons was to prevent them from reaching an alliance with Jingzhong and officials to threaten the prince's position. The feudal king is not allowed to enter Beijing because of national law, and the son of the feudal king will also be looked down upon when he enters Beijing, because in the eyes of others, the son is the spokesperson of Lao Tzu. But daughters are not, one is that women rarely participate in politics, the other is that women cannot inherit the title, and the other is that women will marry sooner or later.
Under the influence of such a traditional concept, Liu Ling's entry into Chang'an has become a very reasonable and unsuspecting thing.
Liu Qian grew up and married the granddaughter of the Queen Mother as a concubine, which was Jin Moth, the daughter of Xiu Chengjun. Liu An originally wanted to climb the vine, but now he is plotting against him, and the crown princess is a royal person, so it is inevitable to do things in an eyesway. So he called the crown prince Liu Qian to the front and ordered. The prince listened to his father's words, and regardless of the relationship between husband and wife on weekdays, he used trivial matters to get angry and blame his concubine, and for three months, he did not enter the door.
The crown princess was alone in the empty room, only crying in secret. Seeing this situation, the attendants on the left and right reported to Liu An. Liu An pretended to be angry, scolded the prince for not leaving the concubine out in the cold, and forced the prince to enter, but the prince couldn't do it for a long time. Liu An ordered the eunuch to push the prince into the room, immediately close the door, lock the outside, strictly punish the palace people and others not to open it without permission, and the daily diet is passed through the window. He also reprimanded the prince to his face, and ordered him and his wife to reconcile. The crown princess was very grateful when she saw Ah Weng personally sending her son to arrive.
The prince peeked at his wife, and felt pitiful, and wanted to be close to her, but his father secretly ordered him not to be close to her. The prince couldn't tell how much pain he felt in his heart, so he sat aside all day and slept in his clothes all night. The crown princess couldn't help but come close to inquire, but the prince just closed his eyes and was silent, and he couldn't bear it. At this time, the husband and wife were separated by thousands of miles, and so it was another three months. The crown princess thought that the prince was very disgusted with me, and I might as well go back to my mother's house, so she sent someone to inform Liu An to voluntarily ask to go, Liu An saw that she was secretly happy in her heart, so she sent someone to escort her back to Chang'an, and wrote to Emperor Wu to explain the matter, at this time when the queen mother died, Emperor Wu saw that his wife was not in harmony, and ordered a divorce.
Liu An designed to expel the crown princess, he had no worries in his heart, and he was happy, but who knew that there was another accident.
It turned out that the crown prince Liu Qian was good at learning swords, and he thought that no one could reach him. I heard that Lang Zhonglei was trained in swordsmanship, and wanted to compete with him, but Lei was repeatedly resigned. The two competed, after all, Liu Qian was not as good as Lei Quilt, and he hurt his skin, so he was suspicious of Lei Quilt. Lei was aware that he had offended the prince, and he couldn't avoid disaster, so he simply absconded to Chang'an and wrote to expose Liu An's rebellion.
Emperor Wu ordered Lieutenant Duan Hong to go to Huainan to ask about it. Someone has already heard the news and reported to Liu An.
After receiving the report, Liu An was not frightened, so he wanted to raise troops. The crown prince Liu Qian offered a plan before entering: "When the Han envoy comes to see you, the shilling guard stands next to you with a halberd; If the Han envoy Guo came to capture the king, he ordered the guards to stab him to death, and then raised his army, before it was too late. Liu An said. and Lieutenant Duan Hong went to Huainan to see Liu An. Liu An watched Duan Hong attentively, and saw that his color was very peaceful, but when asked about the thunder quilt, Liu An told him about the sword competition, and Duan Hong had nothing else to say when he heard it. Liu An expected nothing to happen, so he didn't have a seizure. Duan Hong returned to Beijing to resume his life, and recounted Liu An's words. Emperor Wu asked the minister, and the secretary said that Liu An should abandon the city, but Emperor Wu did not allow it. The minister replied to abolish it, but Emperor Wu refused to listen. If you ask to cut five counties again, Emperor Wu will only allow you to cut two counties, and still send Lieutenant Duan Hong to pardon his crimes.
After Liu An went from Duan Hong, he sent someone to find out the news of the minister's request, and Liu Anxin panicked. and Duan Hong arrived again, thinking that he was coming to arrest him, and summoned the guards to start with the camera. Who knew that as soon as Duan Hong saw Liu An, he told Emperor Wu to pardon his crimes and only cut two counties. Liu Anxin is in Da'an, but the rebellion is getting more and more urgent.
was starting to prepare, and suddenly reported that the imperial court had summoned his grandson Liu Jian to the case for interrogation. Liu Jian's father, Liu Buxian, is Liu An's eldest son, and he falls out of love with his father on weekdays. Queen Tatetu didn't think she was a son, and Prince Liu Qian didn't think she was a brother. Liu Jian was quite talented and competitive, and when he saw that the prince was disrespectful to his father, he was resentful. Emperor Wu once issued an edict to allow the princes and kings to divide their sons as marquis, but Liu An only had two sons, and he refused to give the land to him. Liu Jian became more and more angry, so he secretly befriended the guests, intending to kill the prince and replace him with his father. Unexpectedly, the matter was not secret, and was learned by the prince Liu Qian, who tied up Liu Jian and beat him. Liu Jian knew that he had murdered the Han envoy twice, so he sent his confidant to the Beijing to write a book, saying that the father and son of the king of Huainan had rebelled. The grandson reported his grandfather and uncle, and this matter is not trivial.
The grandson of the Marquis of Biyang, who complained that his grandfather was killed by Liu Chang and intended revenge, secretly investigated Liu An's rebellion and informed Prime Minister Sun Hong. Gongsun Hong also sent a letter to the Henan officials to thoroughly investigate the treatment. How dare Henan officials slack off when they receive orders from the prime minister? When Liu An learned of this, he was very beneficial to rebel.
Liu Jian was summoned to the case, and then he told in detail how the crown prince Liu Qian murdered Duan Hong twice. He also confessed the names of the people at that time, and the officials recorded the confession and heard Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu immediately sent Tingwei to Huainan to arrest the crown prince Liu Qian.
Liu An saw that his grandson was rumored, afraid of a counterplot, and was in a hurry, when he heard that the imperial court had sent an envoy to arrest the prince, he was frightened and urgently summoned the prince Liu Qian to discuss, intending to start an incident.
Prince Liu Qian thought that all kinds of plans were unsatisfactory, so it was better to stop. He also thought that he was only accused of the murder of Lieutenant Han, and that the accomplices in the matter were all dead. When I come to the case today, I will refuse to admit it, and I will not be convicted. Liu An was also disheartened at this time, so he had to follow the prince's words. The crown prince Liu Qian returned to his palace, and suddenly changed his mind again: "I am the prince of a country, and I will be tried in court today, will I not be dishonored in my identity, in case the trial is confirmed to be guilty and punished, sooner or later I will always die, it is better to find someone to commit suicide, so as not to affect my father." "The crown prince Liu Qian has made up his mind, and when he pulls out his sword, he is about to kill himself, but he is cowardly and weak, and he swings his throat without cutting it with a sword. When everyone heard the sound, they rushed forward, and when they saw this situation, they were all taken aback, and hurriedly helped the prince to the bed and asked for medical treatment. Liu An and the queen were shocked when they heard the news, and they all came to visit, and at this time the palace was in a panic, and suddenly reported that the Han envoy had arrived and surrounded the palace. The people of the first house were so frightened that their souls were not possessed. Liu An thought he was coming to arrest the prince, so he pretended to be calm. Who knew that the Han envoy entered and arrested the queen and the crown prince Liu Qian together, and sent many people to search everywhere in the palace.
But when I heard the sound of rummaging through the cabinets, I finally found evidence of rebellion such as privately made seals in the harem. Liu An was stunned and trembled when he saw it. Because he was the king of a country, although the counterplot was exposed, he did not dare to take it without an edict, and only took the queen, the prince and the evidence found away. The army was left to guard the palace and Liu An was placed under house arrest. The Han envoy heard about Emperor Wu according to the situation.
Emperor Wu was furious and ordered Zongzheng Liu to abandon the festival to govern Liu An. Before Liu Qi arrived in Huainan, Liu An had already committed suicide when he heard the letter. Emperor Wu also issued an edict to escort a cadre of prisoners to Beijing and handed them over to Zhang Tang, the court lieutenant, for strict interrogation.
Zhang Tang is a famous spicy player, how can he be lenient? First, the queen and the prince were condemned to death, and the heads were introduced. It was found that Edan, Zhang Cigong and Liu Annu had committed adultery, and they were questioned at the same time. Liu An's daughter Liu Ling has no way to deny it, of course, she corrects the Fa and enters the underworld with her parents and brothers. There was also a group of Huainan wingmen who conspired against Liu Antong, and Zhang Tang not only killed them, but also exterminated them all. But Edan, Zhang Cigong didn't hear the ambush, thinking that they had a relationship with Zhang Tang. Zhang Tang and the secretary of state asked for the arrest of Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, but Emperor Wu refuted: "Since the king of Hengshan has been made a marquis, although he and Liu An are brothers, there is no evidence of complicity, so they should not sit together." Liu Ci was fortunate to be exempted, but the division of Huainan Kingdom into Jiujiang County finally settled the case.
It is because of the bad hearts of the people, the way of heaven is intolerable, Liu Ci was originally married to the queen Shusheng, there are two men and one woman, the eldest man Liu Shuang is the prince, the second man Liu Xiao, and the female name is not picked. There are two Ai Ji, one is Xu Lai, and the other is Ji Ji, and they also have children. Cheng Shu died early, and Liu Ci continued to establish Xu Lai as the queen. When Ji Ji saw that Xu Lai was the queen, her heart became more and more unwilling, so she slandered the prince Liu Shuang, and falsely said that the prince's mother Chengshu was secretly poisoned to death by Xu Lai. Liu Shuang believed it was true and hated Xu Lai very much, but because he was favored by his father and could not take revenge, he suddenly came to Hengshan when Xu Lai's brother came. The prince feasted with him, drew his sword and stabbed him. Xu Lai was furious because the prince wanted to kill his brother, so he planned to kill the prince. The prince's half-brother Liu Xiao lost his mother since he was a child, and Liu Ci was raised by Xu Lai, who didn't love it, but pretended to be concerned to buy his heart.
The prince's half-sister was not married for a long time, and was abandoned by her husband, but still returned to her mother's house. fornication with slaves, the matter was heard by the prince, and he was repeatedly blamed, and he was ashamed and angry, and did not meet the prince. When Xu Lai heard about it, he was kind to him, so the three of them became angry and slandered the prince in front of Liu Ci, and Liu Ci tied him up and beat him from time to time.
Later, Liu Ci was sick, and the prince Liu Shuang also said that he was sick and could not come to serve the sick. Wu Cai and Liu Xiao slandered again: "The prince is really disease-free, deliberately called sick, and there was joy on his face. Liu Ci was irritable, and when he heard this, he didn't ask whether it was true or not, and wanted to abolish the prince Liu Shuang and set up his brother Liu Xiao.
Xu Lai saw that Liu Ci had the intention of abolishing it, and came up with a poisonous plan to frame Liu Xiao, so that his own son Liu Guang could be crowned the heir. Xu Lai has a maid who is good at dancing, she is favored by Liu Ci, and she is jealous of Xu Lai, so she accompanies Liu Xiao and goes on a blind date day and night, and naturally makes up a bunch. When the crown prince Liu Shuang heard that Liu Xiao had raped his father's concubine, he also felt coveted, and secretly thought that his brother was his father and concubine, why don't I also serve his father and wife? In addition, Xu Lai has repeatedly slandered her, if he can have an affair with her, he must be hateful for love, and he will not seek revenge.
The plan was completed, so he entered the palace day by day to ask Xu Lai for peace. Xu Lai had to be vain and circumstantial. One morning, the prince came to Xu Lai to drink again, Xu Lai was not easy to refuse, but when he arrived at the banquet, he found that something was wrong. So the prince invited himself. At the beginning, the prince also respectfully talked to Xu Lai about wine. Unexpectedly, when the prince was half drunk, he sat on Xu Lai's lap and salivated for pleasure. Xu Lai was shocked and angry, raised his throat and shouted, Liu Shuang got up and left, and after returning to the living room, he was thinking about avoiding trouble, and the palace eunuch outside had come in to tell Liu Ci that Liu Ci was alive and dragged Liu Shuang to Liu Ci. Liu Ci was so angry that he hit him dozens of times. Liu Shuang shouted: "Liu Xiao committed adultery with the king's maid, and Wucai committed adultery with the house slave, why don't you ask?" Just know to hit me! The courtiers are willing to write to the Son of Heaven and go away with the king! He said and ran out. Liu Ci was so angry that he was in a daze, and ordered to chase Liu Shuang left and right, but Liu Shuang refused to turn back, and Liu Ci personally chased after him, so he brought Liu Shuang back and was in the palace. Liu Xiaori saw the favor, Liu Ci gave Wang Yin, called the general, and lived in a foreign home, Liu Xiao invited guests and made great things.
Jiangdu people Mei He and Chen Xi successively followed, made bows and arrows for Liu Xiao's private troops, engraved the seal of the Son of Heaven and the seal of the generals, and waited for the attack. Chen Xi was the king of Huainan, but Huainan was defeated, and he went to Hengshan to draw a plan for Liu Xiao.
In the fifth year of Yuan Shuo, Liu Ci entered Emperor Wu of the Dynasty, said Huainan, Liu An welcomed into the mansion, relieved the suspicion and repaired, and conspired with Shang. Liu Ci was originally rebellious, and Liu An contacted him, that is, he was happy to obey, so he retreated to Hengshan to be ill.
After Liu Ci returned to China, he sent a letter to ask for the abolition of the crown prince Liu Shuang and the appointment of Liu Xiao as the crown prince. Liu Shuang also made his henchmen accuse his father Liu Ci of rebellion against his brother Liu Xiao. At the right time, Tingwei interrogated Huainan Prison and visited Chen Xi, but was arrested at Liu Xiao's house, Chen Xi confessed the truth, so he took his own head. Emperor Wu handed it over to Zhang Tang for review. Liu Ci committed suicide after hearing the letter. Queen Xu Lai, Prince Liu Shuang, and second son Liu Xiao all abandoned the city, and the country was divided into Hengshan County. Zhang Tang tried and handled the Huainan and Hengshan cases, exhaustively investigated the roots and plants, and tens of thousands of people died.
