However, it was said that in the winter of the first year of Zhenghe, Emperor Wu was idle in Jianzhang Palace, and in a trance, he saw a man coming in with a sword, and he was busy drinking and ordering him to take it left and right. The left and right rings were collected and captured, but there was no trace, and they were very surprised. Emperor Biwu said that he had clearly seen it, and angrily scolded the doorkeeper for negligence and killed several people. It's really old and dizzy. and sent three auxiliary knights to search the forest, but they couldn't get it. and then closed the gate of the capital and inspected it door to door, causing unrest in the whole city. What's more, when the Zhaobei Army was forbidden to enter and leave because the market had not been stockpiled in advance, many people sat in the house and starved to death.

After tossing for more than ten days, he didn't find a suspicious person, so Emperor Wu of Han had to give up. But the doubts in his heart did not disappear.

At this moment, another big event happened in the capital. Prime Minister Sun He relied on his wife to be the sister of Empress Wei Zifu, and he has always behaved recklessly. Gongsun He's son, Gongsun Jingsheng, was even more lawless, and even embezzled 19 million yuan of state military funds, and was arrested and imprisoned after the crime was exposed. In order to save his son, Gongsun He asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to let him arrest Zhu Anshi, a hero who robbed the rich and helped the poor, and made a contribution. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty agreed, so Gongsun He mobilized a large number of military horses and laid a net to arrest him. The officials and others originally knew Zhu Anshi. It's just because he slackens money and friends, so he secretly lets him slip through the net. This time, he couldn't be relieved of his orders, so he had to take him, but explain the details to him, don't be surprised, Zhu Anshi smiled: "The prime minister wants to harm me, I'm afraid he will also destroy the door himself!" So he wrote from prison and accused the prime minister's son, Gongsun Jingsheng, of having an affair with Princess Yangshi. Emperor Wu was furious when he read the book, and ordered to take down Gongsun He and interrogate him, and sat Princess Yangshi in it and handed it over to Du Zhou for interrogation. Du Zhouluo fabricated charges and killed both their father and son. Emperor Wu did not regret it, but thought that it was properly handled, and the prime minister was left behind and ordered Liu Quyak, the Taishou of Zhuo County, to succeed him. Liu Quyak is the son of Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, the brother of Emperor Wu. Liu Sheng is fond of alcohol and lustful, and according to legend, he has more than 100 concubines and hundreds of sons. Later, Liu Bei said everywhere that he was the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, that is, one of Liu Sheng's hundreds of sons. People have a family tree, it should be true!

Emperor Wu repeatedly conquered, and every time the prince gave advice, Emperor Wu smiled and said: "I will work for it, so that you can live in peace in the future, isn't it okay?" "Whenever Emperor Wu went out on patrol, he often entrusted the prince with political affairs, and entrusted the affairs of the palace to the queen guard, allowing him to make a special decision. When I go back, I don't say anything, and sometimes I don't look at it. Emperor Wu used it very strictly, and the ministers were more obedient, and they were harsh in affairs. The prince is generous, and every judgment incident is light. Empress Wei was afraid that the prince's actions would not be in line with the emperor's wishes, so that he would be offended, and often warned the prince not to act lightly. When Emperor Wu heard about it, he thought that the prince's sentence was very serious, and the queen was too worried.

In the summer of the second year of Zhenghe (91 B.C.), Emperor Wu had many more illnesses, and he felt restless all day long, and his energy was not as good as day by day. In order to recuperate, he lived in the Ganquan Palace. At noon on this day, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty rested on the bed tiredly, and after a while, he found that there were many puppets rushing towards him, and the more and more he gathered, he saw that the puppets were running and flying on the left and right heads and feet before and after, and they surrounded him tightly in a dense turn, and they all held sticks in their hands, and shouted in their mouths, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had no way to go to the sky and no door to the ground, and he was in a hurry, and suddenly woke up, it turned out to be a nightmare.

At this time, Jiang Chong, the minister favored by Emperor Wu, came in to visit him. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty told Jiang Chong about the scene in his dream. Jiang Chong frowned and said seriously: "I'm afraid that there are wizards who make trouble, so that the emperor's dragon body is not safe." As soon as Jiang Chong said this, Emperor Wu of Han immediately appointed him to investigate this matter.

Jiang Chong had great power in his hands, and immediately mobilized people to patrol everywhere in the capital, and once he found suspicious signs or dug up puppets, the owner of the house would be arrested regardless of whether he was high or low, and ordered to confess. The government and the people have not been contacted, so how can we start with it? Jiang Chong ordered the red iron tongs to be burned left and right, and the hands and feet were burned. Torture and persecution, why can't you ask for it? As a result, a group of innocent officials and citizens were framed, and tens of thousands of people were killed. In fact, the puppets dug up in the ground were all buried by Jiang Chong in advance. He did this, on the one hand, to prove that someone was indeed plotting to kill the emperor, and on the other hand, to test the emperor's trust in him. Among the people arrested by him were ordinary people, high-ranking officials and nobles, and even relatives of the emperor. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't ask anything, and completely handed it over to Jiang Chong to dispose of.

Jiang Chong believed that he had gained the full trust of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so he began to plot another big conspiracy, which was to frame the crown prince Liu Ju. Jiang Chong wanted to frame the crown prince Liu Ju, also to curry favor with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It turned out that Empress Wei Zifu's younger brother Wei Qing and nephew Huo Qubing were both famous generals, who made immortal contributions to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. However, after Huo Qubing and Wei Qing died one after another, the power of the Wei family was greatly weakened, and with the emergence of an unsuccessful Gongsun He, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's attitude towards Empress Wei became more and more estranged. The crown prince Liu Ju had a gentle and generous personality, which was very different from the bravery and belligerence of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and there was also an estrangement between father and son. More importantly, in the third year of Taishi (94 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's favored concubine Lady Gou Yi gave birth to the prince Liu Fuling, who wanted to pass the throne to Fuling, but the crown prince Liu Ju was not at fault, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not want to cancel his inheritance for no reason. Jiang Chong saw this point and dared to frame the crown prince Liu Ju.

Emperor Wu was frightened by dreams, often had many diseases, and the witch Gu case was very troublesome. At this time, it was summer, and Emperor Wu immediately drove to Ganquan Palace to recuperate from the summer, and the crown prince stayed in Chang'an. One day, the prince went to Ganquan Palace to greet him. Jiang Chongwang saw the arrival of the prince, and hurriedly approached and said: "The prince must not enter lightly, Your Majesty has an edict, and he dislikes the prince's nose, if the prince enters, he still hopes to cover his nose with paper." "It turns out that the prince was born with a tall nose bridge, like a mountain, so he is called Yue Nose. When the prince heard this, he thought that the patient was moody, or that there was such a thing, so he covered his nose with a piece of paper and went into see Emperor Wu according to the words. Emperor Wu was puzzled when he saw it. Jiang Chong whispered from the side: "The prince doesn't want to smell His Majesty's pus, so he covers his nose." When Emperor Wu heard this, he was furious, so he rebuked the prince and ordered him to go back. The prince was inexplicable, so he had to return to the palace.

Jiang Chong killed many innocent people, and seeing that Emperor Wu of Han trusted him even more, and thought that the time was ripe, he instructed a sorcerer to report to Emperor Wu of Han that the demonic spirit in the palace was too heavy and hindered the emperor's health.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was convinced, and sent Jiang Chong to search the palace. Jiang Chong brought a group of cronies, first pretended to search in other palaces, and soon came to the prince's mansion. Jiang Chong and his gang dug everywhere, digging pits and ditches in the palace, and there was almost no flat land. Then Jiang Chong took the puppets prepared in advance and said to the prince: "These puppets are all dug up in the prince's mansion. The stakes are so high that I can't help but report to the emperor! ”

Liu thought that he hadn't done anything wrong, and he didn't care about what Jiang Chong had done, but now when he heard Jiang Chong say such things, he realized the seriousness of the matter, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

It happened that the young Fu Shi De was in the prince's mansion, and Shi De said to the prince: "Jiang Chong deliberately fabricated criminal evidence to frame the prince. The emperor did not understand his sinister intentions, and when he saw the so-called 'real evidence', he would definitely believe his words. I think it's better to arrest Jiang Chong first. ”

The crown prince pondered for a while and said, "I am the emperor's son, how can I act as an advocate and hurt the emperor's envoy without the emperor's order?" I should go to my father and ask for forgiveness, and I'll be fine. Seeing that the prince said this, Shi De had no choice but to let him go to see Emperor Wu of Han. However, Jiang Chong seemed to have guessed the prince's thoughts, and had already sent someone to guard the intersection and prevent the prince from going to see Emperor Wu of Han.

The prince returned to the palace, thought about it, and decided to use Shi De's method. The next day, the crown prince sent a cronie pretending to be an envoy of Emperor Wu of Han to pretend to deliver a holy decree and bring many warriors to arrest Jiang Chong. Although Jiang Chong was treacherous and sinister, he did not expect the prince to do this, and he was defenseless, and was easily caught by the samurai and brought back to the prince's mansion. When the prince saw Jiang Chong, he was so angry that his eyes were on fire, and he scolded angrily: "Zhao Yu, you are not happy to disturb Zhao Guo, and you are disturbing my father and son again?" "Said that the order was put out and beheaded, and the head was hung in the city to show the public, while informing the hundred officials, saying that the emperor was seriously ill in Ganquan, and it was suspected that something had changed, and the traitor Jiang Chong wanted to rebel, and he has now been captured and ambushed. It's ridiculous that Jiang Chong plotted to kill the prince, and he died first, why should a villain be a villain, the ending retribution is not bad, but he will be infamous for thousands of years.

After Jiang Chong was executed, Liu knew that the crisis had not been eliminated, so he immediately sent his cronies to report to his mother Empress Wei, and borrowed the queen's special carriage and horse to transport the samurai, and opened an arsenal to distribute weapons and organize an armed force for self-defense.

At this time, a minion of Jiang Chong's family escaped to Ganquan Palace and reported to Emperor Wu of Han that the prince had captured Jiang Chong by pretending to pass the holy decree. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "The prince has always been generous, but this time it must be because he is afraid and resentful of Jiang Chong that he made trouble." He also said that he wanted to speak with the prince himself, so he sent an envoy to summon the prince. Unexpectedly, this messenger was as timid as a mouse, ran outside for a turn, heard some rumors, and hurriedly ran back to Ganquan Palace to report to Emperor Wu, saying: "The prince's rebellion is true, he refuses to come, and wants to behead the minister, so the minister has to flee." ”

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard that the crown prince had indeed rebelled, his complexion changed greatly, and he urged Prime Minister Liu Cheng to arrest the prince.

After a while, someone came to report to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, saying that the prince had issued a proclamation to inform the hundred officials, saying that the emperor was critically ill in Ganquan Palace, and that some traitorous ministers took the opportunity to make trouble, so the prince killed Jiang Chong and others. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty realized that if this situation continued to develop, it would threaten his throne, so he came to the Jianzhang Palace in the west of Chang'an City with illness and personally mobilized all the troops near the capital to support Prime Minister Liu.

The crown prince Liu Ju faced a life-and-death crisis and had to take risks. He released all the prisoners in the prison and let them serve as his soldiers, and forcibly recruited ordinary people to serve as soldiers along the way, and even organized tens of thousands of troops. At this time, Prime Minister Liu Cheng's army had already arrived, and the two sides fought viciously for five days and five nights, until the sky was dark, and the corpses in Chang'an City were all over the streets, and the blood flowed all over the place.

After all, Liu Ju's rabble could not withstand the attack of Prime Minister Liu's regular army, and as a result, he was defeated, and the prince led the second man to the south to Fuangmen, and the door was already closed and there was no way out. Seeing the prince's state of affairs, he couldn't bear to harm him, so he let his father and son out of the city gate. and Liu Quyak chased to the edge of the city, and found that Tian Ren was free of the prince, so he wanted to behead Tian Ren. Shengzhi was already a doctor of imperial history, and whispered in Liu Quyak's ear: "Si Zhiwei and other two thousand stones, the guilt should be clear, and it is not appropriate to kill without permission." Liu Quyak went to report to Emperor Wu in detail. Emperor Wu was very angry, and ordered to collect Shengzhi and Tian Ren, and asked Shengzhi to ask: Why did he protect Tian Ren and not punish him. Katsuzhi committed suicide in fear, and Tian Ren was beheaded on the same day.

When Emperor Wu of Han returned to the palace, he immediately sent someone to force Empress Wei Zifu to commit suicide, while Princess Yangshi and Princess Zhuyi were beheaded in public. The Wei family was all guilty, the crown princess and concubine also committed suicide, and all the officials of the East Palace were punished.

The crown prince Liu was on the run, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was difficult to find for a while, so he had to send heavy troops to guard the twelve gates of Chang'an City, lest the prince lead his troops back again. Some old ministers persuaded Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to spare the prince, believing that the prince transferred troops for self-defense, not rebellion; It is better to let the prince return to the capital. Although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt that what the old ministers said was reasonable, he still did not want to forgive the crown prince.

The prince left Huxian County and lived in Quanjiu, with only two sons with him. Although the people of Quanjiuli kept the prince, their family was very poor, and they could only weave shoes and sell them day and night to provide money. The prince was embarrassed, because he remembered that there was a friend in Huxian County, so he had to take the risk of asking him for help. This time the news leaked, and he was rounded up by officers and soldiers that night. The prince was desperate and had no choice but to commit suicide. The prince's two sons and the landlord blocked the door and resisted arrest, and the family died together.

The aftermath of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was eliminated. However, he felt sad when he thought of his lost son and two grandsons. In the second year, he found out what Jiang Chong had done, and only then did he understand that the crown prince Liu Ju had died unjustly, and he specially built a "Sizi Mansion" at the place where the prince was killed, and built a "Return Wangsi Tower" in front of the palace. In the fourth year of Zhenghe (89 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty publicly admitted a series of mistakes and missteps since he became emperor, and took various measures to remedy them. But life is like a bubble, wealth is like a dream, Emperor Wu conquered the south and the north, wanted to plot for his descendants, and committed suicide for his descendants, which is particularly lamentable.

Emperor Wu had a total of six males, in addition to the eldest male Wei prince Liu Ju, one for the king of Qi Liu Hong, one for the king of Changyi Liu Fuling, one for the hook Yizi Liu Fuling, as well as the king of Yan Liu Dan, and the king of Guangling Liu Xu, Liu Dan, Liu Xu and Liu Hong at the same time as the king, in the temple of the conferment of the book is particularly solemn. Liu Hong has passed away, Liu Dan, the king of Yan, is the third son of Emperor Wu, the two brothers died, and the heir can be expected in turn.

Li Guangli, the general of the Second Division, was originally the younger brother of Mrs. Li, and wanted to support his nephew Liu Ji, the king of Changyi, as the crown prince, and repeatedly secretly discussed with Prime Minister Liu Quyak. Liu Quyak's son married Li Guangli's daughter, and the sons and daughters naturally became one. In the third year of the conquest, the Xiongnu soldiers entered Kou Wuyuan and Jiuquan, and the Han court heard the news and issued an edict from Emperor Wu to send Li Guangli 70,000 troops to Yuwuyuan; coincided with Houma Tong and led 40,000 people out of Jiuquan; Shang Qiu Cheng led 20,000 people out of the West River. Li Guangli resigned and boarded, and Liu Quyak was sent to Weiqiao. Li Guangli said in private: "If the prince can invite the king of Changyi as the crown prince as soon as possible, the wealth will be enjoyed for a long time, and there will be no worries." Liu Quyak promised to say goodbye.

Liu Quyak returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and wanted to ask Emperor Wu, but he hesitated in his heart and did not dare to make a mistake. Suddenly, an insider ordered Guo Sui to report to Emperor Wu, saying that the prime minister conspired with the general of the second division and wanted to make the king of Changyi the emperor.

Emperor Wu ordered Liu Quyak to be sent to prison and handed over to Yousi for questioning. There is a division to play Liu Quyak, and he is rebellious. Emperor Wu was furious and ordered Liu Quyak to be tied to the kitchen car and beheaded Dongshi, and his wife was beheaded on Huayang Street at the same time. Li Guangli's wife was also detained. Only because Li Guangli did not return from school, he was not convicted.

However, it is said that Li Guangli led 70,000 people out of Wuyuan, Ma Tong led 40,000 people out of Jiuquan, and Shangqiu Cheng led 30,000 people out of Xihe, and the three roads went together at the same time. Shang Qiucheng drove all the way in, and did not see anything, that is, the class teacher returned to China. Shan Yu made the general and Li Ling lead more than 30,000 cavalry to chase him, the two armies met, Shang Qiu Cheng returned to the army to fight, and killed the Hu soldiers and marched south. Hu Bing was reluctant to chase after him. The Han soldiers turned around and fought again, the Hu soldiers suffered countless casualties, and Shang Qiucheng returned victorious.

Ma Tong went all the way to the Tianshan Mountains without hindrance. Shan Yu sent the general Yanqu to lead 20,000 cavalry to invite the attack, and Yanqu saw that the Han army was strong and did not dare to fight, so he retreated. Ma Tong's whole division returned to China without any gains or losses.

Li Guangli's troops went to the outside of the fortress, and Yu Yu had already made Wei Lu take 5,000 cavalry to prepare for the attack in a dangerous place. Li Guangli sent his troops to lead 2,000 cavalry of the subject country to meet the enemy, and the Hu soldiers were defeated, killing and wounding hundreds of people, and the rest scattered and fled. The Han soldiers took advantage of the victory to chase after them until the city of Lady Fan. Hu Bing ran and fled, not daring to resist the enemy. Li Guangli was about to return to the army when he suddenly reported that someone had arrived in Chang'an. Li Guangli looked at it, but he was a guest of his own house. I saw that he was covered in dust and colored, and presented a letter to his family with both hands. Li Guangli took a look and learned that Liu Quyak's entire family had been killed, and his wife had also been imprisoned, so he was shocked. Hurriedly asked the doorman about the beginning and the end, and the doorman told the details. Li Guangli was worried in his heart, and he couldn't meditate.

Hu Yafu, a subordinate official next to him, said: "If the general makes great contributions, he can also enter the court to redeem himself, otherwise he will return to the country in a hurry to suffer the crime, and if he wants to come here again, he may not be able to get it!" Guang Li Nai ventured into the road again, but Hu Cai blocked the way. Li Guangli waved his troops into the battle and fought for a while, and it was too late to collect their troops, and the counting army broke many horses. The Han soldiers traveled hard, and they were exhausted after a day of fighting, so they fell asleep. Who knew that Shan Yu secretly sent soldiers to dig a pit in front of the Han military camp at night, several feet deep, while pulling up a large group of men and horses to kill people from behind the Han camp. The Han soldiers woke up from their sleep, scattered and escaped in all directions, and the generals escorted Li Guangli out of the camp, when they suddenly heard a loud sound, and the men and horses in front of them had already fallen into the pit. Later, Hu Bing's brigade chased after him, and Li Guangli had no way out, so he had to lead the crowd to surrender. Shan Yu's complete victory, and Li Guangli was very happy in his heart, knowing that he was a relative of the Han Dynasty general Tianzi, and his status was different from Li Ling and Wei Lu, so he was very polite to marry his daughter. When Emperor Wu heard that Li Guangli had surrendered to the Xiongnu, he immediately ordered his wife to be beheaded.

Li Guangli was in the Xiongnu for more than a year, and he was even trusted, and Wei Lu was jealous when he saw it. I thought to myself that in the past, I would come and consult with me in trouble, and I would have the greatest power in any nation. Since he came, I have only changed my heart and moved all my favor to him, and if I do not try to get rid of him, how can I preserve my position? Shan Yu's mother was sick, and Wei Lu had a plan and secretly instructed Hu Wu to do so. Hu Wu said to Shan Yu according to his words: "When Shan Yu sacrificed the soldiers in the past, he once said that he would sacrifice him after capturing the second master. Why don't you use the second master now? This is precisely what happened to him. "Shan Yu has always respected gods and witches, so he killed Li Guangli and the corpse sacrifice society. Li Guangli said angrily before he died: "After I die, I will be a terrible ghost and destroy this Huns." Wei Lu saw that in addition to Li Guangli, he secretly claimed to be happy in his heart. He also didn't remember how good he was with Li Yannian in the past, and he had to serve the Xiongnu because he recommended him to Emperor Wu. Now that Li Yannian's family is defeated, only his brother Li Guangli surrenders to the Huns, and he doesn't take care of it; On the contrary, it is also terrible to deliberately frame him to death.

However, it is said that after Li Guangli's death, it suddenly snowed heavily, and for several months, many livestock froze to death, and the people also suffered from epidemics, and the millet planted was not mature. Shan Yu remembered Li Guangli's words, thought that it was a ghost who was wronged, and was afraid in his heart, so he erected an ancestral hall for Li Guangli and sacrificed when he was old.
