90 Liu Ai has taken the throne

However, it was said that the crown prince Liu was a concubine of the East Palace, and she was a concubine under the concubine. gave birth to a son named Jin, and was called the grandson of the emperor. Emperor Shi's grandson Nawang's wife, who gave birth to a sick child, is the great-grandson of the emperor. A few months after the emperor's great-grandson was born, the witch incident began, and the crown prince Liu fled in defeat. Shi Liangdi, Shi Huangsun, and Mrs. Wang were all killed. Liu is still in infancy and is in prison. At this time, Emperor Wu was deeply angry that the prince rebelled, and even his own great-grandson looked at the rebellious family, and did not ask about his life and death. The emperor's great-grandson was alone in prison and had no nursing mother to take care of him. A group of prison guards did not look for a nurse for him, but sent people to feed him gruel every day, one meal and no meal, and no one changed him for him. Readers imagine that ordinary children of several months can hardly live without nursing protection. What's more, he is a dragon and a phoenix, and he is extremely delicate on weekdays, and it is even more difficult to suffer from this, so after more than a month, he became yellow and thin and dying. When the prisoners in the prison saw him, they all said that he would die soon, who knew that he was destined to be an emperor, although he should not die in distress, but when he was in danger, he met Bingji to be a savior.

Bingji character Shaoqing, a native of Lu State, charitable by nature, learned the law at an early age, and was promoted from the history of Lu National Prison to the right prisoner of Tingwei, and returned to the city due to the loss of his official position. Soon, it was the beginning of the witch incident, and there were many prisoners, and all the prisons in the capital were full, and the criminal officers could not handle it. Emperor Wu then summoned Bingji to Beijing and ordered him to interrogate the witch prisoners in the county mansion prison.

In the midst of political repression and white terror, the so-called "trial" of the case is a complete empty phrase. Everything has been determined, and Bingji's job is actually to carry out the intentions, complete the procedures, and punish the prisoners.

Bingji arrived at the county prison and ordered the prisoners to be summoned one by one for examination, and suddenly saw the jailer holding a child, and Bingji couldn't help but be shocked when he heard that he was the emperor's great-grandson. I thought that he was the son of the emperor, and he felt pitiful for his innocent sin; And when he saw that he was so haggard that he was not human, he felt more and more compassionate. So he ordered the emperor's great-grandson to move to a high dry and spacious place to live, and selected two people who were cautious and loyal and had milk from the female prisoners who committed minor crimes, one was Zhao Zhengqing from Huaiyang, and the other was Hu Group from Weicheng, and Bingji ordered her two to take turns to nurse and protect her day and night. I am afraid that the two of them will be lazy and negligent, so they must come to visit twice a day in the morning and evening. Sometimes, when Bingji is too busy or sick, he will send his family to visit him to see if the bedding is damp and if he is eating properly. However, the conditions in prison were bad after all, and the newborn great-grandson of the emperor often fell ill, and even became critically ill several times, so Bingji promptly ordered the prison doctor to diagnose and give the child medicine on time, so that the child could turn around. Bingji's fortune was not rich in the first place, and now he had to take care of a frail baby and two wet nurses, but he still took good care of it, and bought sweet things and food from time to time. If it weren't for Bingji's meticulous care, the great-grandson of the little emperor would have died in prison a long time ago. The two wet nurses also regarded the emperor's great-grandson as their own and took good care of them. In this way, the poor child miraculously grew up in prison.

At this time, the witch Gu case was unresolved for many years. The emperor's great-grandson grew up in prison, but the emperor's great-grandson was born with many diseases, so he was named Sick. Already, healed. He is sick, but I wish him healing.

Time passed, and the emperor's great-grandson was five years old, and it was February of the second year of the Later Yuan Dynasty. Emperor Wu recuperated in Wuqi Palace, and heard that the warlock said that there was a son of heaven in Chang'an Prison, so he ordered the messenger to go to Chang'an and execute all the prisoners in each prison. Bingji saw the arrival of the edict and closed the door, and sent a message to the edict envoy Guo Sui and said: "The Son of Heaven regards a good life as a great virtue, and others who are innocent cannot be killed in vain, not to mention that there is an emperor's great-grandson in prison?" Guo Sui reported to Emperor Wu, and Emperor Wu also realized: "This is really the destiny of heaven!" He issued a pardon to exempt all prisoners from death.

The emperor's great-grandson was sent out of prison, but Bingji took pity on him and left him homeless. He ordered the prison officer to write a book and send it to Jing Zhaoyin, but Jing Zhaoyin refused to accept it. Bingji visited the emperor's great-grandson's grandmother, Shi Liangdi's foreign family, and Shi Shi's current master, so he sent the emperor's great-grandson back to Shi. At this time, Shi Liangdi's mother Zhenjun and brother Shi Gong still existed. Zhenjun is already old, and of course he pities it when he sees his great-grandson. The old lady has been very fond of Liu's illness, and she takes care of his life in person despite his old age and frailty. Liu Yi, who was only 5 years old, had no memory at that time, and in the new comfortable environment, he gradually forgot about his previous prison life. His impression of the high walls of Chang'an Prison, the two kind nurses, and Bingji, who was free to come and go, became more and more vague. For the safety of their children, the Shi family deliberately did not mention the prison in Chang'an. Bingji continued to be his official and never mentioned the matter of Liu's illness. All of this is a thing of the past.

In his later years, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally knew the truth of the "Witch Curse" and understood the hardships and grievances of his son Liu Ju. He was full of remorse, issued an edict for his crimes, and began to rehabilitate the case. Liu's fate began to change.

Before his death, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an edict ordering Zongzheng to re-enter Liu Aiji's name into the royal family's pedigree, officially reinstating his status as a member of the imperial family.

In traditional Chinese society, blood identity is a very important component of an individual. For royal politics, blood ties are especially important. It is often the source of the legitimacy of one's power. For Liu, he had no political future as a person excluded from the royal ranks, even though he was the grandson of the former crown prince until he was reinstated as royalty. On the contrary, he could become a source of political evil, so the dignitaries were reluctant to adopt Liu. The poor child had to live in his uncle's house. Now that Liu has regained his royal status, he has not only risen to the aristocracy, but also has the possibility of entering the political core. What's more noteworthy is that Liu Yiji's bloodline comes from Liu Ju, the eldest son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he is the only descendant of Liu Ju. Although he has not yet been knighted, his political future is immeasurable.

According to the system, minor members of the royal family are kept and raised by court orders. Liu has also been taken to Chang'an for raising and education. Coincidentally, Zhang He, the court commander at that time, was a retainer of Liu Ju when he was young.

Zhang He is Zhang Anshi's brother, the prince was defeated, all the guests were sentenced to death, Zhang He was also among them, Zhang Anshi wrote a letter to his brother to ask for mercy, Zhang He was spared a death, but he was punished by the palace, sent to the palace as a eunuch, and gradually promoted to a court order. Zhang He saw that the emperor's great-grandson was young and had no one to take care of him, and the situation was very pitiful, and he remembered that Prince Wei treated him with kindness in the old days, so he was very concerned about it, and he was willing to raise him and make him study from the teacher, and pay for the tuition.

Time passed quickly, and the emperor's great-grandson gradually became an adult. Zhang He saw that he was born with a handsome appearance and extraordinary demeanor, and even had hair and light under his feet, and all kinds of miracles became more and more surprised. secretly thought that this person would be very noble in the future, why not marry him as a daughter, so he boasted to his brother Zhang Anshi how the emperor's great-grandson was beneficial, and revealed his intention to marry. At this time, in the fourth year of Yuanfeng, Emperor Zhao performed the crown salute, Zhang Anshi was the right general, and Huo Guang was concentric and auxiliary government. Every time he heard Zhang He praise the emperor's great-grandson, Zhang Anshi stopped him, he thought that the young master was on top, and it was not appropriate to call him sick and the emperor's great-grandson, for fear of being suspected. Hearing that Zhang He wanted to marry his own daughter, he unconsciously became angry and said: "The emperor's great-grandson is a descendant of Prince Wei, but he is content to have no loss of food and clothing." How can my Zhang daughter be worthy of him! Please don't mention it in the future. Zhang He saw that An Shi refused, so he had to give up.

After another while, the emperor's great-grandson was sixteen years old, and Zhang He wanted to marry a wife and set up a family for him, which could be regarded as repaying Prince Wei for his knowledge. But it is inconvenient for him to marry a woman, so he has to pay attention to the matchmaking outside. Zhang He originally wanted to find a rich and noble family to marry, but who knew that there were many princes and princes in the Manchu Dynasty, but no one was willing to recruit him as a son-in-law. Although the emperor's great-grandson is famous, he has no choice but to be snobbish, and when he sees him lose power as a concubine, he doesn't take him seriously. Zhang He is also a eunuch, so he is not effective as a matchmaker. His younger brother Zhang Anshi is now in power, but he is strongly opposed to this matter.

But it is said that there is a tyrant named Xu Guanghan, a native of Changyi, who is also a criminal minister, but he was convicted not because of breaking the law, but because of bad luck. Xu Guanghan was a royal attendant, and he was ordered to travel with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which was supposed to be a good errand, but Xu Guanghan mistook other people's saddles for his own, so he put it on his own horse. Someone reported Xu Guanghan, and he was finally convicted of theft and sentenced to death, and Xu Guanghan chose to be punished by the palace to avoid death. After Shangguan Ji rebelled, Xu Guanghan participated in the search for criminals, but he missed the evidence of the crime because of bad luck, and he was convicted again and sent to the court to listen to errands.

Xu Guanghan had a daughter, named Xu Pingjun, who had taken the son of the Hou family as his wife and was not yet married. Ouhou's son died of illness, the marriage was interrupted, and Xu Pingjun was still in the boudoir. Zhang He and Xu Guanghan were both palace servants, and the two often met, so they were inevitably invited to talk about each other's heartfelt songs with a glass of wine.

Zhang He heard that Xu Guanghan had a daughter who had not yet been selected, and once the two drank together, and when they were drunk, Zhang He stopped his glass and said: "The emperor's great-grandson has grown up, and he will be the marquis of Guan Nei in the future." Wenjun has a female character, why not be worthy of him? Xu Guanghan was already drunk, and he agreed. Zhang He was very happy.

Xu Guanghan went home the next day and informed his wife of the incident, and his wife was furious when she heard this: "My daughter is my hard work, and if you want to marry someone, you should discuss with me first, how to easily agree, I don't admit this matter." ”

However, Xu Guanghan has already promised Zhang He, and it is difficult to chase after him. Besides, Zhang He is now a court order, and he is a chief, and I am a tyrant and a member of his family, and it is even more difficult to repent once I promise. So he comforted his wife with kind words, and said how noble and glorious the resume of the emperor's great-grandson was, so as not to mistake his daughter. When the woman's family heard that there were many benefits, she agreed to marry her according to her husband's wishes. Zhang He paid his private wealth to marry Xu Nu for the emperor's great-grandson, and chose a day to become a gift. Since then, the emperor's great-grandson has lived according to Xu Guanghan and his maternal grandmother Shijia, and Zhang He died soon after.

After getting married, Xu Pingjun took good care of her husband, and a year later gave birth to a son for him, who was the future Emperor Liu Zheng of the Han Yuan Dynasty. At this time, Liu Yi should have been very happy, he has not had a good life since he was born, and he has been suffering for seventeen years, but he married such a gentle wife, and now he has a son. However, his good fortune had just begun, and his next good fortune made him the tenth emperor of the Han Dynasty, and a generation of famous lords who will forever be recorded in history.

But it is said that in the first month of the third year of Emperor Zhao Yuanfeng, Mount Tai and Laiwu Mountain South, one day suddenly heard a loud voice, the momentum was very surging, there seemed to be thousands of people calling, people from far and near heard the sound and came to look at it, it turned out to be a big stone, erected on the ground freely. This stone is one zhang and five feet high, large forty-eight circumferences, eight feet deep into the ground, and three small stones are surrounded by feet. After the stone is erected, there are thousands of white black flying around, and the spectators are all surprised. At the same time, there was a big willow tree in the upper forest garden, which suddenly reborn after lying on the ground. The insects on the willow leaves are written into writing, and they can be roughly identified, which is the five characters "Gongsun disease has been established", and Chinese and foreign people are all suspicious.

However, he said that after he had been separated from Liu Ai, Bingji was transferred to the general of the Che Cavalry Military City Order, and was later promoted to the long history of the general Huo Guang, Huo Guang valued him very much, and promoted him to the Guanglu doctor. Bingji was respectful to Liu Yi as usual, and never mentioned the events of the year. Liu Ying didn't even know that Bingji was the prison officer who raised him back then.

In April of the first year of Yuanping, Emperor Liu Fuling of the Han Zhao Dynasty died, and the general Huo Guangzuo asked the empress to appoint Liu He as the new emperor. After Liu He ascended the throne, he was unscrupulous. Huo Guang deposed Liu He for his crimes of fornication.

After Liu He stepped down, he went away easily, but the Han Empire could not do without a supreme master. Huo Guang discussed with Zhang Anshi, the general of the chariot cavalry, and other important ministers to establish a new monarch. Seeing that there were different opinions and no one opinion, Bingji, who has always been low-key, couldn't help but say: "The general is entrusted by Emperor Xiaowu and is dedicated to the country. Today's Hanzuo crisis still depends on the general's righteous actions. Does the general remember that Emperor Wu's deathbed edict mentioned that Liu Ai, the great-grandson of Emperor Jiang, had recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors and was raised by the court. According to the subordinates, most of the vassals now enjoy peace and honor, and they do not understand the sufferings of the people, and it is difficult to overcome the unification. Only Liu Yi has been raised in the folk and the court, and he is now eighteen or nineteen years old. Liu Ai has been through the arts, there are beautiful materials, manners are moderate, and steady, well versed in civil affairs, the general may wish to carefully investigate it, and go to the temple for divination, if you feel that its person is available, let him enter the palace to serve the queen mother, and then follow the process to ascend to the throne. ”

Huo Guang felt that Bingji's suggestion was very reasonable, so he decided to honor the emperor's great-grandson Liu Yi as the emperor.

After Huo Guang nodded, the other ministers also agreed. So Huo Guang and the ministers played the empress dowager and said: "According to the etiquette law, the great sect has no heir, and you can choose the sage among the descendants of the side branch as the heir." Emperor Xiaowu's great-grandson, Liu Ai, has been raised by Yeting and is now eighteen years old. He was thrifty, benevolent, and loving, and could succeed Emperor Xiaozhao and flatter his ancestors as the Son of Heaven. ”

The Empress Dowager Shangguan is rarely careless, but nominally promoted as the master of the interior, how Huo Guang decided that the Empress Dowager would obey. At that moment, as invited, he ordered Zongzheng Liu De to prepare a car to go to the house of Shangguanli, where the emperor's great-grandson lived, to bathe him and give him imperial clothes. Liu Yi immediately entered the Weiyang Palace to meet the Empress Dowager, and at this time, the emperor's great-grandson was still a concubine and had no official title. Huo Guangzhi was inconvenient to establish a Shu person as the Son of Heaven, so he asked the Queen Mother to be named the Marquis of Yangwu first.

Huo Guang chose an auspicious day and led his ministers to present the seal. The great-grandson of the emperor who died nine times in his life, actually flew to the ninety-five, sat on the big treasure, and later called Emperor Xuan because of his temple name Xiaoxuan.

On the same day, Emperor Xuan received the emperor's scarf, and should go to see the high temple, Emperor Xuan took the imperial car to salute, and the general Huo Guangqi took it. Emperor Xuan was originally afraid of Huo Guang, and it was already daunting to meet him on weekdays, but now he was sitting in the same car, and he felt more and more cramped and uneasy when he approached him, as if there were thorns on his back. Readers imagine that Emperor Xuan is the Son of Heaven, why is he so afraid of Huo Guang? It's just that Huo Guangbing's power has been too heavy for a long time, and he has to make people timid because of his arbitrary actions this time. On the other hand, Huo Guang saw that Emperor Xuan had just been established, and he was afraid that he would return to school Liu He, and he felt relieved, so he didn't dare to make a pro-government, and still asked the Empress Dowager Shangguan to stay in Weiyang Palace to make a decision. Although Emperor Xuan had ascended the throne and had no power, because he remembered that Liu He was the king of a country and had many close ministers for him, Huo Guang wanted to be abolished and abolished, effortlessly. He was born from a common man, and he was lonely and weak, and it was even more difficult to resist him. If his words and deeds are accidentally seen by him, or if he touches his intentions, he will be the second Liu He, and at that time, he will not be able to regret it. Emperor Xuan conceived this intention, so he became more and more afraid of Huo Guang.

Emperor Xuan ascended the throne for several months, Huo Guang paid close attention to observation, and saw that his actions were not negligent, so he was relieved.
