[Vol. 1] Verse 152: King Huainan 1

------------

In this way, the eighty-year-old Gongsun Hong died, and this old and favored prime minister should feel lucky, among the thirteen prime ministers of Emperor Wu, compared with his predecessor, he was considered lucky, and compared with his successor, he was regarded as burning high incense.

This can't be helped, people's lives are good!

During his tenure, the country had nothing to do, singing and dancing were leveled, and even the Huns, who had always been happy to stir up trouble, were obedient to Wei Qing and Huo Quai, and fled to the north of the desert.

In the court, Gongsun Hong has few opponents. The upright Ji Di participated in him, but the result was that every time Ji Di scolded him, his favor went further, Ji Di saw that he did not fall, but he was bored with himself, and he was ashamed, so he could only shut up. Dong Zhongshu couldn't get used to his two-faced style, and hated him, and in the face of this contemporary Confucian, Gongsun Hong was also unceremonious, looking for an opportunity to send him to the remote country of Jiaoxi. Among those who opposed him, the master father had the worst end, and he destroyed the clan.

However, Gongsun Hong treats his own people very generously, he would rather be a vegetarian himself than share the meat with the guests!

Brothers, eat meat and eat meat!

The guests saw the prime minister's coarse tea and light rice, but he sandwiched meat for his subordinates, and every time at this time, their hearts couldn't help but pop up with the idea of "going to the soup and going to the fire, and smearing the liver and brain". Such a Gongsun Hong even won the respect of the cool official Zhang Tang.

With a boss like this, what more can a husband ask for!

Therefore, Gongsun Hongneng continued his legend in the court year after year, and no one could shake his phase.

However, Gongsun Hong would never have thought that King Huainan would plot a rebellion under his nose, until the incident happened, Gongsun Hong did not know it.

Gongsun Hong was worried that Liu Che would blame himself for the crime of poor care, and he, the prime minister, would come to an end.

Under the fear, Gongsun Hong was bedridden.

Liu An, the king of Huainan, naturally would not have thought that the prime minister of the dynasty would become ill because of his depression, which is funny to say, and this may be the only political achievement of the Huainan king's rebellion.

Liu An, the king of Huainan, seemed to be associated with the rebellion when he was born, and his father Liu Chang made a rebellion against Emperor Wen, but was exiled and died on the road.

Emperor Wen had always felt guilty about the death of his younger brother Liu Chang, and a few years later, Emperor Wen divided the Huainan Kingdom into three and crowned Liu Chang's three sons as kings.

The death of his father greatly affected Liu An's growth.

Like his father, he blamed the death of his loved ones on the head of the court, so he was dissatisfied with the court. Despite this, Liu An far surpasses his father Liu Chang in many aspects. Liu Chang acted arrogantly, during his reign, Huainan basically did not use the laws of the imperial court, and officials at all levels were appointed by himself, he was arrogant and domineering, and he was stubborn and self-serving.

Although Liu An has always had the ambition of rebellion, he devoted himself to studying the art of governing the country and waiting for a favorable opportunity. In addition, he wrote books and said, accumulating fame, so Huainan literati and celebrities gathered, talents gathered, under his governance, Huainan country rich and peaceful.

In addition, whenever we taste the home-cooked delicacy of tofu, we have to thank Liu An, because it is because of his alchemy experiments that tofu was invented.

However, such a talented person has always been very keen on rebellion.

In the third year of Emperor Jing, when the Seven Kings Rebellion began, Liu An was eager to try and was ready to join the rebel army.

But Liu An did not give up his ambition because of this, more than ten years later, he went to Chang'an, and Tian Wei, who was the Taiwei at the time, took his hand and said that when there is no son today, he may be a king in the future.

Tian Wei's words to curry favor with Liu An made Liu An overjoyed.

Although Liu Che admires Liu An very much, Liu An still remembers the major event of rebellion.

He ordered people to secretly build weapons and make maps, Liu An made long-term and careful preparations, from the beginning of the blood and qi side, he took this as his ambition, but until his grandsons grew up, he did not make trouble.

You have to admire Liu An's perseverance, to be honest, I've seen a rebel, but I've never seen such a rebellion.

In the fifth year of Yuan Shuo (124 BC), an accidental incident can be described as a misfire, which ruined Liu An's rebellion.

Liu An's crown prince Liu Qian thought that his swordsmanship was unmatched, and he heard that Lei was superb in swordsmanship, one of the "Eight Princes" under Liu An, and said that he wanted to make a few strokes, but Lei was afraid of accidentally injuring the prince, so he resolutely resigned.

Two people with weapons in their hands, you push me to let, the martial arts student has a big temper, and he even drew his sword when he pushed it back and forth, and he deserved to be unlucky, Liu Qian was at best a parallel commodity who didn't know the height of the sky, Lei was randomly played a few times, and accidentally scratched Liu Qian.

It is also a trivial matter for a person who practices martial arts to occasionally get a little injured and leave some blood.

But Liu Qian doesn't think so, this prince toasts you and doesn't eat, and you still hurt this prince, who do you think you are?

Liu Qian was on the same page as Lei Bei, and when he had the opportunity, he would find trouble with Lei Bei, and try his best to torture Lei Bei.

If Lei was a literati bachelor, he would endure it, he would eat and drink well, even if he was bitter, he could only swallow it in his stomach if he broke his teeth.

But he was a swordsman, in other words, a rough man.

How can a rough person stand these difficulties and tortures, and what makes Lei the most embarrassed is that the other party is the prince, even if you have great magical skills, you can't do anything with him!

Sure enough, Lei was unable to stay in Huainan, and he told Liu An that he wanted to resign and follow Wei Qing to fight the Huns.

If it were a young Liu An, he would definitely pat him on the shoulder with a smile, and he would definitely praise him a few words in his mouth, young man, ambitious, promising, don't forget the old master when he is developed in the future, etc.

However, now Liu An is sixty years old, not only sensitive but also suspicious, he glanced at Lei Fu meaningfully, and the first thought that flashed in his heart was not to agree, but that this person had a different heart.

Lei was originally thought that King Huainan would be allowed to do so immediately, and he would even be extremely retained, after all, he had followed him for many years, and it was hard work without credit. However, Lei was immediately stunned, and Liu An was furious, and immediately reprimanded Lei for not remembering his old kindness and dismissed him from his position.

Is this still the King of Huainan who he has served for many years?

Swordsman Lei couldn't guess Liu An's thoughts, what is this called, your son can't get along with me, and you can't get along with me. From this moment on, he hated Liu An's father and son.

You are unkind, and I am unjust.

Lei was looking for an opportunity to escape from Huainan Mansion and head straight north, and the place he was going to was Chang'an.

Lei was sent to Chang'an for one purpose, to sue Liu An for obstructing the implementation of the edict of the Son of Heaven.

Liu Che received Liu An's accusation, he was happy, he had already learned that Liu An had a lot of lawlessness, but he was struggling to find out that there was no evidence, now it's good, when he was happy to cut the domain, someone put icing on the cake, God really help me!

Liu Che seized the opportunity and issued an edict to cut off some of the fiefdoms of Huainan Kingdom.

If the matter ends here, Liu An can be said to have escaped, because Lei was at least shaken out the secret that Liu An had hidden all his life.

After cutting the land, Liu An accelerated the pace of rebellion, and contacted his ally King Hengshan, preparing to fight together.

Liu An's fate has walked at the most dangerous crossroads.

At this time, another person went to Chang'an to file a complaint, and the person who filed the complaint turned out to be Liu An's grandson Liu Jian.

Contradiction and non-reverse, only in a thought.
