It is said that Emperor Wu sent Huo Guang to assist him in his edict that day, and Jin Riyan and Shangguan Ji helped him. He also made another edict to seal Jin Riyan as the Marquis of Qin, Huo Guang as the Marquis of Bolu, and Shangguan Ji as the Marquis of Anyang. After the collapse of Emperor Wu, Huo Guang and his ministers read the edict, Jin Riyan saw it and said to Huo Guang: "Now that the lord is young, the three of me are in power, if I accept the knighthood, it will inevitably cause people to discuss, and put this matter aside." Huo Guang nodded yes when he heard this, and Shangguan Ji was speechless. In September of the first year of Emperor Zhao, Jin Riyan suddenly fell ill and became increasingly heavy. Huo Guang was afraid that he couldn't afford it, so he was anxious to Bai Zhao and awarded him the title of Hou. Jin Riyan was clothed with a ribbon, and after only one day, he died. Emperor Zhao regretted it very much, gave him a cemetery, buried Mao Ling, and said that he would respect the marquis.

The eldest son of Riyan was Emperor Wu'er, and he was killed by Riyan because of fornication. There is still the second son Jin Xian and the third son Jin Jian are all in the service of Emperor Zhao, and they are about the same age as Emperor Zhao, and they lie down together every day, which is very dear.

The gold reward inherited his father's title, and he wore two ribbons, and Jin Jian only wore one ribbon. Emperor Zhao was nine years old at the time, and when he saw that the two of them wore more and fewer brothers, Huo Guang said: "The two Jin brothers, why not give two ribbons?" Huo Guang replied: "The golden reward for the heir is the marquis, so there are two ribbons; Yu Zi is difficult to seal the marquis. Emperor Zhao smiled: "I want to add a marquis, but I and the general have a word." Huo Guangzheng said: "The first emperor has an appointment, and he can't be a marquis if he doesn't have merit!" Emperor Zhao was speechless when he heard this.

First of all, the edict of Emperor Wu was originally sealed by three people, but now that Jin Riyan has been sealed, Huo Guang and Shangguan Ji have also been sealed. Wang Hu, the son of Wang Mang, the commander of Shi Weiwei, was a servant, and threatened outside: "When the first emperor collapsed, I was always around, how could there be a matter of bequeathing the three of them, this is a group of people who are self-respecting!" Huo Guang was furious when he heard this, and he scolded Wang Mang. Wang Mang then poisoned Wang Hu to death.

Jin Riyan died, and only Shangguan Ji was left to help Huo Guang. The relationship between Shangguan Ji and Huo Guang is extraordinary, Huo Guang has a daughter who marries Shangguan An, the son of Shangguan Ji, and gives birth to a daughter Shangguan Shi.

Therefore, whenever Huo Guangxiu went out, Shangguan Ji would enter the court to adjudicate political affairs on his behalf. Huo Guang believes that because he is a son and daughter, and he is also taken care of, he believes it. However, important events still need to be decided and implemented by Huo Guang. At the beginning, the two of them were safe and sound, but for a long time, they had their own opinions on each other, and Shangguan Ji and Huo Guang fought for power, but they couldn't fight for him, so they accumulated a lot of suspicions.

When a guest on the side saw Huo Guangquan shocked for a while, he said: "The general didn't see that in the past, the Lu clan rejected the clan without authority, and did not work with him, because the world did not believe in it, and he died to perdition. Now that the general is in charge of the country, and the emperor is young, it is advisable to use the clan, and consult with the minister more in case of trouble, so as to avoid trouble. Huo Guangyi said that he chose Liu Bijiang and Liu Changle of the clan as the Guanglu doctors, and ordered Liu Pijiang to guard Changle as the guard.

Huo Guang made Princess Gai enter the palace to support Emperor Zhao, thinking that she was old and widowed, and her family had nothing to do. But he didn't know that Princess Gai had a good name named Ding Wairen. Ding Wairen is from Hejian, born handsome and beautiful, Princess Gai seduces day and night, Ding Wairen also moves closer to the rudder, and the two become a pair, similar to Dou Tai's main love behavior. Now Princess Gai Chang has been summoned to the palace, and the palace is strictly forbidden, and outsiders are not allowed to enter and leave without permission. However, Princess Gai missed Ding Outsiders and often went out, so someone reported the matter to Huo Guang. Imagine that the eldest princess Gai, as the royal sister, had an affair with a commoner, and the law at that time should have been punished. But Huo Guang felt that Emperor Wu had treated Princess Guantao very favorably in the past, and it was understandable that the imperial sister had fornicated with others, so he asked Emperor Zhao to issue an edict to let Ding outsiders enter the palace together.

Princess Gai was naturally happy when she saw the edict. Since then, outsiders have entered and exited the palace without any scruples.

Time flies, to the fourth year of the first century, Emperor Zhao is twelve years old, Princess Gai Chang has been in the palace for a long time, the affairs of the harem are in his charge, because he saw that Emperor Zhao is getting older, he wants to be the daughter of Emperor Zhao and Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang's family is Zhao Jian, the uncle of King Li of Huainan, and was named Marquis of Zhou Yang, and later changed his surname to Zhou Yang.

The eldest princess knew her well, so she wanted to accept her daughter. Before the matter was done, it was learned by Shangguan An, the son of Shangguan Ji. Shangguan An, Huo Guang's son-in-law, suddenly became angry after hearing about this and wanted to match his daughter with Emperor Zhao. also thought that his daughter was Huo Guang's granddaughter, and Huo Guang would definitely agree with this matter. If he allowed it, the eldest princess would be helpless. Shangguan An was so excited that he hurriedly came to find Huo Guang to tell him his intentions. Huo Guang saw that his granddaughter was still young and refused to listen. Shangguan An was disappointed, and returned home to complain that his father-in-law was too stubborn, thinking that it would be a pity to miss this opportunity, so he pondered for a long time and suddenly came up with a plan. Then he went to see Ding Wairen again, and he got along with outsiders very well, so he said to him: "I heard that the eldest princess chose the harem, I have a daughter with good looks, and I want to rely on the power of the eldest princess to enter the palace and become the queen. If I am willing to do my best in front of the eldest princess, I will naturally be grateful for the picture. The Han family often matches the princess with the liehou, and there is a clear edict to serve the princess, so why not worry about the marquis? When Ding Wairen heard this, he was very happy and immediately agreed. It is to see the eldest princess and prepare the words of Shangguan An. The eldest princess then informed Emperor Zhao, and Emperor Zhao immediately summoned Shangguan An's daughter into the palace, named Jieyu, and worshiped Shangguan An as the captain of the cavalry. After more than a month, the eldest princess strongly persuaded Emperor Zhao to establish Shangguan as the queen and promote Shangguan An to be the general of the chariot and cavalry.

Shangguan had to be established as the queen, Huo Guang thought it was Emperor Zhao and the eldest princess, and because it was his granddaughter, he didn't stop it. A year later, the eldest princess made Emperor Zhao crown her stepfather Shangguan An as the Marquis of Sangle, with 1,500 households. Shangguan An was arrogant and did all kinds of evil. One day, Emperor Zhao summoned him to the palace to give a banquet, and after returning home from the banquet, Shangguan said to the guests: "I am very happy to drink with my son-in-law today, my son-in-law's clothes are so gorgeous, my utensils cannot match, it is better to burn them all." "The family hurriedly stopped it before it was saved.

Shangguan An was grateful to the eldest princess, so he wanted to seek a marquis for Ding Wairen's camp, but the right to worship lay with Huo Guang, and he had to get his permission. So from time to time, Huo Guang asked to seal outsiders as marquis. Huo Guang let him be entangled, but he refused. Shangguan An, as a son-in-law, could not beat his father-in-law in the end, so he told his father Shangguan Ji. Shangguan Ji mentioned this matter to Huo Guang again, but Huo Guang still didn't listen. Shangguan Ji saw that the feudal marquis was hopeless, so he wanted to worship Ding Wai as the Guanglu doctor, so that he could enter the Zhao Emperor. Huo Guang said angrily: "Ding Wairen has no merit and no virtue, how can he be knighted, I don't want to say it again!" Shangguan Ji felt bored, and when he returned, he told Shangguan An that the father and son saw that they couldn't do anything, and they felt shameless to face Ding Wairen.

However, it is said that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was seriously ill, Liu Dan sent people to Pegasus to Beijing and proposed to Emperor Wu to take troops back to Beijing to defend the capital. This request made Emperor Wu of Han furious, to know that life and death are still taboo among the people, let alone the emperor who is high, Liu Dan did this to remind his father that his death is not far away, and he must make a decision quickly. Liu Dan's move deprived him of three counties in vain, and he also lost Liu Che's trust and the possibility of succeeding to the throne.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died and Liu Fuling succeeded to the throne, and Liu Dan accelerated the pace of rebellion. Shangguan Ji then sent someone to make friends with Liu Dan privately, and asked him to write to ask outsiders to wait. Liu Dan since the previous rebellion failed, a few years of depression, now see Shangguan Ji father and son willing to make friends, the heart is very happy, so he wants to take this opportunity to contact the courtiers for their henchmen, take the opportunity to seek the throne, so send someone to the Emperor Zhao said: "The minister and His Majesty have the only eldest princess as a sister, and Ding outsiders should be knighted." After Emperor Zhao saw the book, he asked Huo Guang, Huo Guangli couldn't hold it, and Emperor Zhao refuted the book. The eldest princess learned of the whole story, so she had a gap with Huo Guang.

Shangguan Ji's father and son tried their best to ask for the seal for Ding Wairen, but they were all controlled by Huo Guang and could not get their wish, and they were extremely ashamed in their hearts, so they blamed Huo Guang. Shangguan Ji thought to himself that the first emperor was in Japan, and I was ranked in Jiuqing, above Huo Guang. Now the father and son are generals, and they are relatives of the country, the queen is my granddaughter, Huo Guang is just an ancestor, but he has autocratic political affairs, which is unfair, so he started to fight for power. Just then, another incident happened. There is a eunuch named Chongguo, who is the beloved of Shangguan Ji's father-in-law, who relied on the power of his relatives to break into the temple for no reason. reported to Huo Guang left and right, and Huo Guang ordered him to be arrested and imprisoned, and handed over to the criminal officer to repeat the recital, and should be sentenced to death. Shangguan Ji begged Huo Guang for mercy again, but Huo Guang did not allow it. In the winter moon, the sentence was approaching, and seeing that the life of the country was not guaranteed, but the eldest princess heard about it, so she sacrificed twenty horses for the country to atone for her crimes, so that her sentence could be reduced and she was spared death. Shangguan Ji resented Huo Guang deeply because of this, and became more and more grateful to the eldest princess.

Who knows that a wave of unevenness and a wave of resurgence. Although Ding Wairen is not an official, he relies on the eldest princess to run rampant in Chang'an. He also had a grudge against the former Jingzhao Yin Fan Fu, and now seeing that Fan Fu was exempted from the official house, he made the assassin shoot Fan Fu to death, and later hid the assassin in the eldest princess's mansion. The eldest princess's first house was in Weicheng County, and the officials did not dare to arrest after discovering the traces, so they came to report to the Weicheng County Order to learn.

The surname of Weicheng County is Hu Mingjian, the word Meng, a native of Hedong, is a famous cadre, and he was the official of the Northern Army when Emperor Wu was the emperor. The family was very poor, and there were no chariots and horses in and out, so he often lay down with the soldiers, and treated the soldiers with great kindness, so that the gratitude of the people served them. From time to time, there were superintendents of the imperial history who violated military law, and privately chiseled the camp into a small chamber to display goods and sell them for profit. Jun Zheng saw it and did not raise it. Hu Jian was furious in his heart, so he wanted to design a punishment, but said to the pawn: "I want to punish one person with you and others, but see me drink and take it, and drink and behead." All the people agreed in unison. It happened to be a big parade one day, and the superintendent of the army and the captains of the guards sat in a row on the stage. Hu Jian took his fellow soldiers to the stage to pay respects, and took advantage of everyone's surprise to step onto the stage, and the soldiers then came to the stage together. Hu Jian designated the imperial history of the supervising army, and ordered the soldiers to take it down, and the soldiers rushed forward in response, and immediately pushed the imperial history of the supervising army to the stage and beheaded him, and the soldiers stabbed the imperial history in two sections. At this time, the captains of the Protector Army were somehow shocked. Hu Jian informed everyone of his intentions, and took out a book from his arms, which was written by Hu Jian in advance, and immediately sent someone to take it to Emperor Wu. When Emperor Wu saw it, he was deeply pleased that Hu Jian did not enforce the law, and immediately approved it. Hu Jian became famous for a while, and was later transferred to Weicheng County.

Hu Jianzi is the commander of Weicheng, and his reputation is very good, and the people are pleased. When he heard that the Assassin had fled into the eldest princess's mansion, he led his military service to surround the eldest princess's mansion and searched inside, and captured the assassin. When the family saw it, they hurriedly reported to the eldest princess. The eldest princess hurriedly brought many guests and slaves with Ding Wairen and Shangguan An, each with weapons and returned home. Seeing that Hu Jian had arrested the assassin, he immediately ordered everyone to catch up and release the arrows together, and the officials scattered away, and the public could not catch up and report back to the eldest princess. The eldest princess thought that I was the emperor's sister, and the county order dared to surround my house and take people, so I despised me too much, how could I be willing if he was not punished, so she sent someone to write a book to falsely accuse Hu Jian of insulting the princess, and shot arrows at the door of the house. He also said that he knew that his subordinates had cut and injured the house slaves, but he also defended him and refused to seriously investigate it.

When Huo Guang saw the book, he knew that the eldest princess deliberately framed Hu Jian, so he ignored it. The eldest princess was even more angry. Later, Huo Guang was sick and couldn't take care of government affairs at home, so Shangguan Ji did things on behalf of Huo Guang, so he reopened the old case, found out the book of the eldest princess, and sent it to the Si Xun Office.

Yousi was ordered to arrest Hu Jian, and Hu Jian reported suicide when he heard about it. and Huo Guang's illness was cured and he knew about it, and he couldn't save it. The officials and people of Weicheng were all wronged by Hu Jian and set up an ancestral shrine to worship him.

Shangguan Ji's father and son fought for power with Huo Guang for various reasons, and accumulated many grudges, so they wanted to design to remove Huo Guang and seize power by themselves. So the eldest princess was covered inside, and Liu Dan, the king of Yan, was married outside. There is also the imperial historian Sang Hongyang, who thinks that he has made great contributions to the creation of salt and iron, and wants to seek officials for his children, but Huo Guang does not allow him to invite, so he holds a grudge and is also in line with Shangguan Jilian.

A few days later, just as Huo Guang returned home to rest, Shangguan Ji sent his confidants to report in the name of Liu Dan with a letter. The book says:

"The minister heard that the general Huo Guangxiao read the Yulin Lang official, called himself a police officer along the way, and ordered the official to prepare food first. He is also good at transferring the shogunate captain. It seems that this dictatorship is arbitrary, and there is a suspicion of dissent. The minister Liu Dan was willing to return the Fu Xi to the palace guards, and secretly monitor the actions of the traitorous ministers in case something happened. ”

Emperor Zhao read and looked at it, and after thinking about it for a long time, he actually shelved the book and did not issue it. Shangguan Ji waited for a long time without movement, and had to enter the palace to inquire, but Emperor Zhao smiled and did not answer. The next day, Huo Guang went in and heard that Liu Dan, the king of Yan, had a book to pick up bullets, and he couldn't help but be afraid, so he went to the west studio of the palace to sit and wait for the news. In the studio, there is a picture of Zhou Gong's negative wall. Emperor Zhao was in the court, and he couldn't see Huo Guang left and right, so he asked where the general was? Shangguan Ji responded: "The general was impeached by King Yan, so he didn't dare to enter. "Emperor Zhao urgently summoned Huo Guang left and right. Huo Guangzhi knelt down in front of the emperor's throne to apologize, but Emperor Wen Zhao said: "The general can wear the crown, I know that the general is not guilty!" "It's in the chest. Huo Guang was overjoyed and surprised, raised his head and asked, "Your Majesty An Zhichen is not guilty?" Emperor Zhao said: "The general went to Guangming for a review, and it took less than ten days to go back and forth, how did King Yan know?" And the general does not need a lieutenant if he wants to rebel. This is obviously someone who murdered the general and faked this book. Although I am young, how can I be fooled like this! Huo Guang couldn't help but admire after hearing this. The left and right attendants and Shangshu were surprised to see that although Emperor Zhao was young and shrewd. Shangguan Ji was so frightened by Emperor Zhao's flaws that he was sweating, so he had to support himself. At this time, Emperor Zhao was fourteen years old, and he could read King Yan's fraudulent book, even if King Zhou Cheng regarded it as ashamed.

Emperor Zhao thought that the book on the Yan King was fake, so he asked the officials from all over the country to strictly investigate, and the people who wrote the book were sent out by Shangguan Ji and Sang Hongyang. Shangguan Ji entered Emperor Bai Zhao and said: "There is no need to investigate such trivial matters. "Emperor Zhao did not obey, and still strictly urged him. Shangguan Ji was full of grief and hatred, so he ordered his cronies to tell Huo Guang's shortcomings in front of Emperor Zhao from time to time. Emperor Zhao said angrily: "The general is a loyal minister today, entrusted by the first emperor to assist him in bowing, and those who dare to slander will be punished." So Shangguan Ji didn't dare to say anything more.

Shangguan Ji's plot failed repeatedly, so he and his son Shangguan An secretly discussed, one did not do, and the other did not stop, planning to kill Huo Guang, abolish Emperor Zhao, and then lure King Yan into Beijing to punish him, and then set himself up as the emperor. When someone close to him heard about this, he said to Shangguan An privately: "If you like to do this, where will you put the queen?" Shangguan An replied: "Do you still have time to take care of rabbits?" Imagine that my father and son rely on the queen to invite nobles; Once people change their minds, they will be made commoners and unobtainable. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so why not miss it? The man retreated without a word. Shangguan Ji discussed a strategy with everyone, that is, to make the eldest princess invite Huo Guang with wine, and ambush him when he arrived. He also sent someone to inform Liu Dan, the king of Yan, so that he could make preparations as soon as possible, and he had to come to Beijing immediately if he had information. Liu Dan, the king of Yan, wanted to be the emperor, and when he received a letter from Shangguan Ji saying that he wanted to welcome him as the emperor, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he wrote back to Xu Shangguan Ji as the king. On the one hand, more than 1,000 people from the county and the country were connected to support him, and he ordered to set up stagecoaches to facilitate correspondence.

After a while, Liu Dan said to the ministers: "I have a letter from the eldest princess of Gai, in which she said that she wants to raise a big event, and there are only two people who are worried, namely the general Huo Guang and the right general Wang Mang. This Wang Mang is a native of Tianshui, which is different from Wang Mang in the later text. Now that the right general is dead, and the prime minister is ill, it seems that this matter will be done, and soon a messenger will come to summon me. Then he sent the ministers to pack up and prepare to set off.

However, the celestial phenomenon alarmed, and there were mutations in Yandu from time to time. Suddenly, the rain poured down, and there was a rainbow drooping palace well, the well water suddenly dried up, and the public was drunk by the rainbow; Rainbow can drink water, it's really a strange story. Suddenly, a herd of pigs protruded into the toilet, broke into the kitchen, and destroyed the stove; Suddenly, the black magpies fought, and they fell to their deaths in the pool. There was also a rat standing in the middle of the gate of the palace, whirling and dancing. The close attendant reported to Liu Dan. Liu Dan came to see it in person, and the rat was not afraid when he saw many people, and he danced until a day and a night before he fell to the ground and died. Another day, the door of the temple suddenly closed, and several people tried their best to push it open. The city was on fire for no reason, and all the officials gathered when they heard the letter, and commanded the military service to fight it out, and the city gate was burned down. And a strong wind swept the ground, and blew the heavens and the earth dark, and the ears heard a whirring sound, like a thousand horses, and the trees were broken in all their passes, or they were uprooted, and all the towers of the palace were blown down. Another meteor fell from the sky, and the sound boomed far and near. The palace concubines and palace maids were all frightened. Liu Dan said discoloredly: "If you can't do anything, demons and elephants will appear repeatedly; The morale of the soldiers is coming, but what a problem! How! While I was worried, an urgent report came from Chang'an, saying that the conspiracy had been revealed and that everyone who had conspired had died. Liu Dan was shocked, and hurriedly asked the visitor for details, and the person who came was ready to tell him in detail.

It turned out that the eldest princess of Gai conspired to invite Huo Guang to drink and kill him in the middle of the day, but the matter was not done, and the son of the princess Yancang heard about it and told his father privately. Yan Cang saw that the matter was important and could not be hidden, so he thought of Yang Chang, the big farmer, and came to inform Yang Chang, the big farmer. Yang Chang is Huo Guang's confidant, he has no talent, and he is cowardly, he didn't dare to come forward to denounce it, so he took sick leave and went home, and asked the doctor Du Yannian to inform him of the matter. Du Yannian immediately reported to Huo Guang. Huo Guang secretly told Emperor Zhao and quietly sent people to arrest him.

So the prime minister engaged in Ren Gong first went to invite Shangguan Ji and introduced the palace gate to pass the edict and behead; Prime Minister Shaoshi Wang Shou went to lure Shangguan An into Shangguan An again, and he was also executed with a knife. Of course, Sang Hongyang and Ding outsiders were arrested, Princess Gai committed suicide, and Su Wu's son Su Yuan also conspired with him.

Seeing that the matter had come to this, Liu Dan urgently summoned Xiangping and said: "My plan has been defeated, so it is better to start an army immediately." Xiang Ping replied: "General Zuo is dead, and the people know about it. Liu Dan was very depressed when he heard about it, so he ordered a banquet to be set up in the Wanzai Palace, and the guests and concubines of the harem sat down to drink. Liu Dan drank to the middle and composed a song by himself. The words say:

Return to the empty city, the dog does not bark, and the chicken does not whine.

He Guangxi, who knows that there is no one in the country.

Liu Dan sang. Next to her, Mrs. Huarong left the table and danced, singing in her mouth:

Hair fills in the ditches,

Bone family is dead.

The mother begs for the death of the son, and the wife begs for the death of the husband,

Wandering between the two canals, the gentleman will live in peace!

Mrs. Huarong's singing voice was sad, and everyone who heard it wept. Ignoring the report that the imperial court sent an envoy to Yan, Liu Dan had no choice but to greet him. When the envoy entered the palace and handed over the seal, Liu Dan examined it and said:

Emperor Xi Gao established his sons in the world to establish a feudal screen. Today, the descendants of the clan have no violent clothes and open crowns, split the land and the king, divide the wealth and give it, the father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother dies and the brother dies, which can be described as thick! The king is close to my flesh and blood, but he conspires with a foreign race with his surname to kill the community, kisses him, neglects his relatives, has a rebellious heart, and has no loyalty and love; If the ancients know, how should they see the temple of the ancestors again? Wang Qitu.

After Liu Dan finished reading the book, he handed over the seal book to his close ministers, and sighed to himself: "It's dead!" He's dead! Then he hanged himself with a ribbon, and more than 20 concubines and concubines were from the dead. Mrs. Huarong was among them. The envoy returned on the same day, Emperor Zhao made Liu Dan the king of assassination, Liu Dan's son Liu Jianfu was a concubine, and the country was cut into a county. Princess Gai's son, Wenxin, was also revoked. Empress Shangguan didn't hear about this because she was young, and she was Huo Guang's granddaughter, so she couldn't be wasted. and Du Yannian as the servant, and Wang Xin as the imperial doctor.

Liu Dan's death did not wake up his half-brother Liu Xu. This King of Guangling is even more of an absurd prince, he didn't like to read since he was a child, and he was purely a martial artist. His greatest hobby is fighting bears, wild boars and other beasts empty-handed. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been frightened and scattered, Liu Xu was not cowardly at all, if you were an assassin and wanted to murder him, it would be really harder than ascending to the sky, and people were at the same level as Li Yuanba.

It's a pity that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't like this son who could carry the tripod and did not choose him as his heir.

Although Liu Xu is simple-minded, his ambition is greater than that of his brother. He wanted to become emperor, but in a completely different way. Liu Dan contacted everywhere to prepare for rebellion, Liu Xu was not so bold, his method was to curse, as long as whoever became the emperor, he would curse whom. His idea was to curse all possible heirs to death, and it would be his turn to take the throne.

At that time, he trusted a witch named Li Nusu. During the reign of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, he constantly cursed Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Fuling really died. In the first year of Yuanping, an obituary came from Chang'an City, His Majesty the Emperor left us prematurely, at the age of twenty, and the imperial court set up a funeral committee headed by Huo Guang. After receiving the news, Liu Xu was very sad on the surface, feeling that the sky was falling, but in fact, his heart was already happy. Your Majesty has no son, and I am the only surviving prince left in the first emperor, and there is a chance that I should be allowed to sit on the throne. From this day on, King Guangling has been very tormented in his heart, how can the edict of making me the Son of Heaven has not yet arrived! Is it a problem with the imperial court? Or is it a problem with logistics? The efficiency is too slow! Finally, looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally looked forward to the edict.

But as soon as he received the order, Liu Xu was dumbfounded, the new emperor was not him, but Liu He, the king of Changyi, who was eighteen years old and had a little fresh meat! Liu Xu was angry and said that the good country depends on Changjun! When I inquired, it turned out that Huo Guang disagreed, "Wang Ben was out of his way, the first emperor didn't use it, and the light was not at ease", saying that Liu Xu's virtue was too poor, and the first emperor couldn't look down on him, and the ministers had to believe in the vision of Emperor Xiaowu. Besides, Liu Xu is too old and difficult to control, Liu He has just arrived, a little white rabbit, and it is easier to fool.

Missing two opportunities in a row, King Guangling was angry and annoyed, and he didn't give up, so the wizard cursed Liu He. Soon, Liu He was really unlucky, and the court announced: Liu He only served as emperor for twenty-seven days, and he committed thousands of crimes, an average of thirty or forty per day, and the empress dowager decided to depose him. Great, it's my turn this time! Liu Xu was secretly proud. After a period of time, the edict came again, to the effect that the new emperor ascended the throne, the whole world celebrated, and the princes of Guangling, Liu Sheng, Liu Zeng, Liu Bao, and Liu Chang were the princes, and Liu Hong was the king of Gaomi, and the reward was very rich. The sons all benefited, but Liu Xu was not happy, he said: "My eldest brother's grandson can be the emperor, why can't it be my turn?" Witch! Come out and curse this king!

This time, the wizard didn't work, he cursed for a long time, and it was Huo Guang who died, and Emperor Xuan of Han was safe and sound. Not only did he wield great power, but he also made a crown prince and determined the future successor of the Han Empire. Liu Xu was dying of old age, knowing that the throne was completely out of his turn, so he asked the witch to stop working.

But after a while, two unpleasant things happened. Liu Xu's son, Liu Bao, killed someone in the field and was stripped of his title; When he returned to Guangling, he had an affair with his father's concubine, and was finally executed by the government. The fertile land under Liu Xu's name was confiscated by the imperial court and distributed to the poor people. After losing his son in his later years and his interests were damaged, Liu Xu was furious and invited the witch who had been dismissed some time ago back to continue cursing the emperor. Liu Xun, Liu Xun, look at this king's curse and can't kill you!

As the saying goes: often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet. Liu Xu's cursing of the Son of Heaven was revealed. The central authorities set up a special case group and rushed all the way to Guangling to thoroughly investigate Liu Xu's conspiracy and other illegal acts. Liu Xu was so frightened that he wanted to hide it at first and poison all the witches, but in the face of hard facts, paper could not contain fire after all, and all quibbles were in vain. After the interrogation, the criminal suspect Liu Xu confessed to the facts of the violation, and he hoped to see his family and say his final goodbye to them, and the special case team agreed.

That night, Liu Xu called his wife, concubines, and sons, set up wine in the Xianyang Palace, ate and drank, sang "karaoke", and staged a Chinese version of "The Last Supper" with practical actions. The time to be happy was very short, the rooster crowed, the sun came out, Liu Xu knew in his heart that his end was coming, he said to the crown prince Liu Ba; "Your Majesty treats me well, but I have deeply failed him, after I die, I should be on the streets. If the imperial court allows me to be buried in the ground, I can just bury it hastily, and I don't have to make a big deal of it. After saying that, he committed suicide. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty saw that Liu Xu was dead, and considering that he was the son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and his grandfather, he agreed to bury him in the mausoleum built by himself in Shenju Mountain. Yellow intestine inscription and golden jade clothes can also be used, the emperor's grace is vast, and it buys people's hearts. Liu Ba and others were abolished as commoners, and the Guangling Kingdom no longer existed, and was directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Later, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne and re-established Liu Ba as the king of Guangling, which was passed down for several generations. That's an afterword.
