Chapter 59: Killing the Hero III

After the Chen Feng rebellion was put down, it was time to settle accounts after the autumn.

He pointed the finger at Peng Yue, the king of Liang, and he used habitual methods to first issue an edict to reprimand Peng Yue.

The Son of Heaven issued an edict to scold people, and the severity of it made people shudder.

Peng Yue received the edict and read it several times, the more he looked at it, the more afraid he became, he thought hard about countermeasures, and decided to take the initiative to go to the court to ask for the guilt, and the general dissuaded: Don't go, you will definitely not come back! It's better to rebel! And one more fight!

When Peng Yue heard this, he was noncommittal, he actually didn't want to confront the imperial court, and it was more auspicious to confront the imperial court, and it was more auspicious than good luck if he didn't confront. Han Xin's lessons are still there, and Peng Yue doesn't want to become the second Han Xin.

Liu Bang's edict is very ruthless! When the Son of Heaven sent a scolding edict to his courtiers, he clearly told his courtiers: I am very unhappy with you, you can do it yourself!

Receiving this edict means that the political future, and even the life, are in extreme danger.

Peng Yue was extremely frightened because of this, his words were rude, and his temper was also tyrannical. Mrs. Liang preemptively attacked, absconded in fear of crime, and ran to Chang'an to bite Peng Yue back.

Liu Bang didn't care whether it was true or not, he quickly sent a few capable soldiers to Liang to detain Peng Yue and Hu Yu on the spot, and directly sent them to Luoyang, where they were handed over to Wang Tian, the court commander, for trial.

Wang Tian is not a righteous gentleman, and when we tried Gao in the past, we knew this person's style of handling cases.

After a little interrogation, Wang Tian did not get evidence of Peng Yue's rebellion, that is, Peng Yue was falsely accused. But this result obviously will not satisfy Liu Bang, he thought about it and thought of a way, let people appreciate Wang Tian's attainments in creating unjust, false and wrongful cases, he wrote on the case report to Liu Bang: Hu Xuan intended to rebel, but King Liang did not stop it, it was a precursor to rebellion, and he should be punished according to law.

This is also a trumped-up charge.

Seeing this conclusion, Liu Bang was very happy, so he ordered Hu Yu to be executed, and read it for Peng Yue's merits, so as to save him from death, but deposed him as a concubine and demoted him to live in Tsing Yi County, Shudi.

Peng Yue didn't even have a chance to appeal, so he was dragged into a prisoner car, and traveled all the way west into Shu, from the prince king who guarded one side to a prisoner, Peng Yue's luck was not much better than Han Xin.

thought that he would be able to spend the rest of his life in peace after picking up a life, but his luck was too bad.

On the way to Tsing Yi County, he met a person who would eventually kill him, and she was Empress Lu. Lu Hou was rushing to Luoyang to find Liu Bang and put forward his opinions on how to deal with Peng Yue. Unexpectedly, he met Peng Yue halfway, Peng Yue made a common-sense mistake when he saw Lu Hou, he thought that women were soft-hearted, and he hoped that Lu Hou could help him intercede, so Peng Yue told Lu Hou his grievances with tears in his eyes.

Empress Lu persuaded him with good words and expressed her willingness to help him intercede, and she asked Peng Yue to return to Luoyang with her.

Peng Yue believed it to be true, followed Lv Hou to return the same way, and arrived outside the Luoyang Palace, Peng Yue waited outside the palace, while Lv Hou went to meet Liu Bang. Peng Yue waited anxiously outside the palace full of hope, he waited for an amnesty to come down, he became a majestic prince again, and he could enjoy the sense of superiority worshiped by thousands of people again.

However, after waiting for a long time, he did not see the holy decree of forgiveness, but he saw a group of heavily armed guards rushing out, and in his astonishment, he was tied up, and he went to a familiar place, the palace of the court.

Tingwei Wang Tian opened his eyes and was almost stunned, doubting that he was dazzled: Why is it Peng Yue again? Isn't it already convicted?

He polished his eyes and looked at Peng Yue carefully, thinking: That's right, it's King Liang!

Wang Tian didn't dare to make the decision, so he hurriedly went into the palace to ask Liu Bang, and Liu Bang told Wang Tian of Empress Lu's opinion.

Since there are instructions above, Wang Tian will naturally be able to do things.

He gave full play to his talent as a director and screenwriter, and constantly found people to falsely accuse Peng Yue of rebellion. In the end, with the unremitting efforts of officials at all levels of the Tingwei Mansion, Peng Yue's rebellion was realized, and the conclusion was: Peng Yue was the head of the three clans.

After Peng Yue's death, his head hung on the city tower to show the public, and Empress Lu didn't seem to be enjoying it, so she immediately made a suggestion to Liu Bang, which fully embodies the truth of the most poisonous woman's heart, of course, there will be more appalling ones later. She suggested that Liu Bang chop Peng Yue into meat sauce and give it to the princes.

When the meat sauce was delivered to Yingbu, the king of Huainan, Yingbu was hunting with great interest, and when he took the meat sauce, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if someone had poured cold water from head to toe, and his interest was completely gone.

Han Xin is dead, Peng Yue is dead, and the next person who will be the one who will be the widow may be the widow! No, we have to be on guard as soon as possible. Ingbu pondered

In order to prevent accidents, Yingbu ordered the country to be on increased alert. But Yingbu never thought that although he had already planned for a rainy day, his ending would still be the same.

Yingbu's medical officer, the eldest doctor, Heben, wanted to please Yingbu, and took the opportunity to send a lot of gifts to Yingbu's favorite concubine, but unexpectedly, Heben's fawning not only did not please Yingbu, Yingbu suspected that the favored concubine and Heben had an improper relationship between men and women, and Yingbu decided to kill Heben first, regardless of whether it was true or not.

History is always strikingly similar, and the cliché footage comes.

The subordinates held a grudge, and then went to Chang'an to inform, then Liu Bang was furious, and then Liu Bang sent someone to investigate.

Then Yingbu really reversed.

Knowing that Yingbu rebelled, Liu Bang planned to send the prince to lead the army to quell the rebellion, but the prince's teacher said to Empress Lu: No, the prince went on an expedition, it was useless and could not avoid disaster, and he could not go!

Empress Lu felt that it was very reasonable, so she cried and cried at Liu Bang, what prince is young, the prince is not accustomed to military affairs, what should the prince do if something happens, Liu Bang was very upset, and scolded: I knew that the erector could not do anything, and I still had to do it myself!

In the summer of the eleventh year of Gaozu (196 BC), Liu Bang once again drove a personal expedition after arranging all affairs.

Before the personal expedition, Xiahou Ying recommended the doorman Xue Gong to Liu Bang, this benevolent brother is not an ordinary person, he has been the Ling Yin of the old Chu State, and he is very resourceful. Xue Gong gave Yingbu three possible strategies, and it was expected that he would adopt the lower of the three. The best policy is to take Wu in the south, Chu in the west, Qilu in the east, Yan Zhao in the north, and stick to the wall; The middle policy is to take Wu in the east, Chu in the west, and Han to take Wei, according to Ao Cangli, stuffed into Gaokou; The next policy is to take Wu in the east, take Cai in the west, gather grain and cross the land, and return to Changsha.

Yingbu is not an easy person to deal with, although he is not as good as Han Xin and Peng Yue, but this person has many friends in the rivers and lakes, and he has an in-law with the king of Changsha. When Liu Bang learned that Yingbu had really adopted the expected strategy, the elderly Liu Bang had some confidence.

Yingbu won a series of battles at the beginning, and when he arrived in Yongcheng, he encountered Liu Bang's army. Liu Bang stepped forward and scolded: I have made you king, but you don't want to repay your kindness, and you dare to rebel!

Yingbu had won the battle before, and his morale was much higher, and he thought of Liu Bang's old age, so he said with a mockery: Without him, I also want to be the emperor!

Liu Bang was so angry that he trembled. He didn't say much nonsense, so he waved his long whip and ordered an attack, and the Han army rushed forward like arrows off the string, only to see thousands of troops stabbing at the enemy like huge swords. Seeing this scene of ten thousand horses galloping, Liu Bang, who was over the age of sixteen, suddenly became enthusiastic, he moved his war horse, raised his long sword, and braved the dense arrows of the British and Bu army, and jumped to the front of the battle to supervise the battle. Suddenly, a sharp arrow flew over and hit the chest, but fortunately, the armor on Liu Bang's body was very thick, and the arrow did not penetrate deeply. Seeing that the Son of Heaven was so desperate, all the soldiers naturally fought bravely to be the first, and for a while, like the soul of the god of war, they rushed the rebel positions to pieces, and fled one after another.

The rebels collapsed in an instant, and Yingbu saw that the general situation was gone, so he could only lead the remnants to flee eastward.

Under the pursuit of the Han army, Yingbu only had more than 100 cavalry left, and on the way to Changsha, he was ambushed and killed by his brother-in-law, Wu Chen, the king of Changsha.

Liu Bang once again put down the rebellion, but he also paid a huge price, his cousin Liu Jia, the king of Jing, was killed in battle, and he himself was seriously wounded.

Huainan was pacified, King Jing was killed in battle, Liu Bang renamed Jing Guo Wu and gave it to Liu Zhong's son Liu Bi, Liu Bi, a benevolent brother who had to mention that the storm he set off decades later would once again send the Han Dynasty into a dangerous situation.

On the way to the class, he passed by his hometown Pei County, and drank wine with the elders of Pei County, leaving a famous wind song there: The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, Weijia is returning to his hometown, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet!

When he arrived in Huainan, Liu Bang received two good news, one of which was to present the head of Yingbu to Wu Chen, the king of Changsha. The second is for Zhou Bo to present Chen Xuan's head, and all the places are pacified.

Zhou Bo not only presented Chen Xuan's head, but also presented a piece of news that Liu Bang couldn't believe that Lu Juan participated in Chen Xuan's rebellion!

Lu Juan is Liu Bang's most iron-clad brother, and he can't believe this fact no matter what.

Therefore, he issued an edict to Lu Juan to return to the court.

With the lessons of the past, how dare Lu Juan go to Chang'an? That's how a lot of people died before. In addition, he did have contact with Chen Xuan, and his heart was ruthless. When Chen Feng rebelled, in order to prevent the invasion of the Xiongnu, he sent his general Zhang Sheng to lobby the Xiongnu. Zhang Sheng met the wanted criminal Zang Yan in the Xiongnu, Zang Yan's father is Zang Di, the king of Yan, and he said to Zhang Sheng, to the effect that Chen Yan was destroyed, and then it was the turn of King Yan. After hearing this, Zhang Sheng felt reasonable, but changed his original intention, and asked Mao Dunshan Yu to send troops to help Chen Feng rebel, and to keep Chen Feng is to protect King Yan, and to keep King Yan is to protect himself.

Mao Dun is naturally happy to be a favor, which can not only rob, but also make people owe favors, why not do it?

Under the order of Mao Dun, the Xiongnu iron cavalry invaded south again. Lu Juan got the military information, put the account on Zhang Sheng's head, detained Zhang Sheng's family, and reported the incident to Liu Bangyu. After Zhang Sheng hurried back to Yan Kingdom, he explained the powerful relationship to Lu Xuan, Lu Huang took a breath, only to realize that he was already difficult to ride a tiger, even if Liu Bang had a good relationship with himself, for the sake of their own interests, Liu Bang would not necessarily put away his butcher's knife. Zhang Sheng is not wrong, but Zhang Sheng's crime has been reported to the imperial court, and if he denies it again, it will inevitably arouse Liu Bang's suspicion. Liu Bang is old, old and faint, and when his suspicion attacks, who knows what will happen?

He thought about it and finally came up with a plan to hide people's eyes. He pulled out a death row prisoner who looked like Zhang Sheng from among the prisoners, and beheaded the death row prisoner at the entrance of the vegetable market, intending to get by.

After killing the fake Zhang Sheng, Lu Xuan's heart was still trembling, he sent Zhang Sheng to the Xiongnu to make friends, and on the other hand, he sent envoys to Chen Xuan to secretly send military supplies, and cheered him up by the way, hoping that he could withstand the offensive of the Han army. In Lu Xuan's opinion, the longer Chen Feng ends, the longer Yan Guo can exist, and it is best that the two sides can hold on like this forever.

But the truth is not as Lu Xuan wants, Chen Xuan is very unlucky, within a few months, he died and the country was destroyed, seeing Chen Xuan's fate, Lu Xuan seemed to see his future, and he began to panic all day. As soon as the edict of the imperial court came, he wanted to die!

The way to deal with the edict, Lu Juan still uses the local method to excuse his illness.

Liu Bang has seen this kind of excuse not once or twice, he is not so easy to fool, if you Lu Juan can delay, I can check. He sent the Marquis of Biyang to interrogate him, and the imperial historian Zhao Yao entered Yan, while inspecting and secretly visiting, and on the other hand, he went to the door to urge.

Lu Huang didn't have other skills, but he had been mixed in the officialdom for decades, and his ability to pretend to be very good was very good, he pretended to be dying on the sickbed and said: In the past, there were seven countries with different surnames, and now only me and the king of Changsha remain. Clan punishment of Han Xin and cooking Peng Yue are all plans of Empress Lu. Recently, I heard that His Majesty can't afford to be sick, and the power is all under the hands of Queen Lu, the woman of Queen Lu, the thief is easy to kill, and he specializes in killing heroes with different surnames, if I enter the capital, I will obviously go to seek death, and when the Lord recovers from his illness, I will apologize for my sins, or I can still save my life!

It should be said that this is very earnest.

But Lu Juan forgot the identity of one person present, and the Marquis of Biyang interrogated him. This benevolent brother listened to Lu Xuan's words, and felt very uncomfortable. Judging that he was sent to serve Empress Lu after Liu Bang raised his army, and accompanied her when he was a prisoner, and it was no secret that he had gossip with Empress Lu.

When he returned to the court to restore his life, he chewed Lu Xuan's tongue with oil and vinegar, but Liu Bang was still suspicious. Unfortunately, at this time, the news that Lu Xuan's general Zhang Sheng was not dead and went to envoy the Huns. Liu Bang, who was bedridden, was convinced that Lu Juan was really the opposite. He then ordered Fan to command his troops to quell the rebellion.

Under the anger of the heart, the arrow wound attacked, the pain was unbearable, and under the pain, he thought that he had sent the prince to fight Yingbu, if it wasn't for the interference of Empress Lu, he wouldn't need to go to the battlefield in person, he wouldn't be injured if he didn't go to the battlefield, and he wouldn't be in unbearable pain if he wasn't injured. At this time, Empress Lu and the prince came to greet Liu Bang's injury, and Liu Bang was angry, so he scolded their mother and son to the blood. Liu Bang's close attendant had a suspicion with Fan Xu, he saw that the prince of Lu Hou was scolded, and knew that the opportunity was coming, so he secretly slandered and said: Fan Xu is the queen's brother-in-law, and he is a dead friend with Lu Hou, he secretly plots, and when His Majesty is a hundred years old, he will lead troops to repay his grievances, and punish Mrs. Qi, Zhao Wang Ruyi and others, you must not be guarded against!

Liu Bang listened to the words of the servant, and hurriedly summoned Zhou Bo and Chen Ping to come: Fan Hao Dang and Lu Hou, Pan Zhen died early, but he was extremely hateful, and ordered the two of you to take the post to behead Fan Xu, there must be no mistake! Chen Ping, you go to get Fan Xu's head, Zhou Bo, you command the army on behalf of Fan Xu to quell the rebellion.

Chen Ping and Zhou Bo looked at each other, not knowing what Liu Bang meant.

Although Liu Bang is very suspicious, his wife and brother-in-law don't believe it. But it's hard to say, even if it's Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, Liu Bang is not very at ease with him, and when he put down the rebellion, he sent people to investigate Xiao He's movements again and again, forcing Xiao He to have no choice, in order to protect himself, he can only listen to the opinions of the doormen, discredit himself, and compete with the people for profit. Later, Liu Bang was furious and sent Xiao He to prison, although Xiao He was not subjected to inhuman abuse in prison, but he was greatly mentally bruised.

Chen Ping and Zhou Bo carefully summed it up, thinking that Liu Bang was confused for a while, so he made this stupid decision. Liu Bang was confused, but Chen Ping and Zhou Bo were not confused, they thought that Fan Xu was both a relative of the emperor and a hero. If Fan Xu wants to kill or chop, it is better for Liu Bang to do it himself, so they decided not to kill Fan Xu first, and arrest him back to Chang'an.

When Lu Juan learned that the imperial court had sent Fan Hao to encircle and suppress him, he immediately came up with a countermeasure and ran.

Run to the foot of the Great Wall, wait for the pardon, once there is no pardon, flee to the Xiongnu, if there is a pardon, you can return to Yan by the way.

In the current situation, he had no choice but to wait.
