[Vol. 1] Verse 195: Togu

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

Liu Che is old, really old, sometimes he will fall asleep when he sits, his eyes are not good, he has difficulty reading a few words on the oil lamp, and he can only find someone to read it to him.

At the beginning of spring, he didn't even bother to take the year name, and directly called it the Hou Yuan, and the ministers said that it seemed to be slightly inappropriate, and his reply was that there were no more years to live anyway, everything was simple, and he knew his own body.

Now Liu Che's most enjoyable time is the time accompanied by his young son, this is his happiest time, watching Liu Fuling grow up day by day, he is also at ease day by day.

However, Liu Che is still a little hesitant, counting it, Liu Fuling is only seven years old this year, and the lord Shaoguo doubts, once something goes wrong, how can he take on the heavy responsibility as a child?

Liu Che didn't think about his other sons.

At the beginning of this year (the first year of the Later Yuan Dynasty, 88 BC), Liu Ji, the king of Changyi, died of illness at the beginning of the year. His now adult sons are only Liu Dan, the king of Yan, Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, Liu Dan is smart, and Liu Xu is brave, all of them are lawless and have no wind of the Son of Heaven.

In July, Liu Dan took the initiative to write a letter and asked to enter the palace in Beijing.

This made Liu Che angry, what kind of heart Liu Dan'an had, how could he not see it, he scolded in his heart, "I'm not dead yet, Liu Dan is so bold, if he dies, don't make trouble." ”

Although Liu Che said that he was angry, he did not ask him for blame, but beheaded the envoys of the Yan State who sent the book, and issued an edict to cut his three counties in response.

Seven-year-old Xiao Fuling, at a young age, is tall and strong, and learns things quickly, so he is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

His immediate priority now was to find a few ministers to support him.

According to his observations, there were still a few loyal ministers among the courtiers who were worthy of great responsibilities.

For example, Huo Guang, the commander of Fengche, Huo Guang accompanied Liu Che when he was young, and he has been in and out of the palace for more than 20 years, and he has never done a wrong thing.

For example, Jin Riyan, the commander of the horse, although this person is a descendant of the Hu people, but he is very loyal, he started from the horse supervisor and became the captain of the horse. Liu Che remembered it well, his eldest son was dissolute and unruly, and he was in public with the palace maid, messing up the law in the palace, and it was he who killed his eldest son with his own hands. In the middle of this year, the Ma Ho Roma Tong brothers, who had a close friendship with the rebel Jiang Chong, attempted to assassinate Liu Che, but it was Jin Ilyan who was the first to find out and stopped Ma Horo regardless of his life, so that Liu Che escaped.

Liu Che compared the two of them repeatedly, thinking about it, it was most appropriate for Huo Guang to be the head of the ministers.

For this reason, he specially ordered someone to paint a picture and gave it to Huo Guang.

Huo Guang got the painting, opened it and looked at it, and was really surprised. The picture in the painting is the scene of the Duke of Zhou carrying King Cheng on his back and meeting the princes. Although Huo Guang is a smart person, he can't accurately grasp Liu Che's meaning, he knows that this is the meaning of letting him assist the young master, but why doesn't he know it?

Huo Guang is a cautious person, he knows that this painting is very important, and there can be no mistakes, the emperor did not say it explicitly, and he can't be too public.

He carefully hid the painting so that he would not mention it in front of others.

Soon after Liu Che painted Huo Guangci, he did another thing, which was very cruel, but in Liu Che's opinion, this matter had to be done.

To be honest, Mrs. Gou Yi has not seen her son for many days, and she misses it tightly, and she kisses and hugs Liu Fuling, and Liu Fuling has her mother by her side, and she plays very hard. On the contrary, Liu Che is like an insignificant bystander.

Liu Che stared at the couple motionlessly, but his heart turned upside down.

"How young this woman is in front of her. And I am so old and weak, if I leave, she will be the queen mother, and such a young queen mother will definitely cause trouble to the court. ”

Liu Che got up and ordered someone to take Liu Fuling away.

As soon as Liu Fuling left, Liu Che changed his face and severely reprimanded Mrs. Gou Yi for some problems. Mrs. Gou Yi was so frightened that she hurriedly took off her hairpin and kowtowed, crying even more pear blossoms and rain.

Liu Che was disgusted for a while, and ordered his wife to be escorted to Yeting Prison, which was the former Yongxiang.

Mrs. Gou Yi was dumbfounded for a while, and hurriedly crawled and hugged Liu Che's thigh, shouting, Your Majesty is gracious, Your Majesty is gracious.

Liu Che had already eaten the scales, he shook her off, Mrs. Hook Yi was dragged up, and when she arrived at the door of the palace, she looked back at Liu Che, hoping that he would forgive himself for the sake of giving birth to a prince for him, but he heard Liu Che's urging voice, "Hurry up, you can't live!" ”

After being imprisoned for several days, Mrs. Gou Yi died in prison.

A few days after her death, Liu Che took the initiative to ask the outside about the opinion on the matter. The attendant said, "If a man speaks, and he sets up his son, why should he go to his mother?" ”

Liu Che's answer can be regarded as giving a reason for his own approach, he thinks that the master is young and the mother is strong, and the heroine will inevitably cause trouble in the government, so he has to guard against it.

Liu Che may not know whether his son Liu Fuling should suffer the pain of losing his mother at an early age.

In the second year of the Later Yuan Dynasty (87 BC), in February, Liu Cheyu was already bedridden.

Liu Che finally felt that death was approaching, and he urgently summoned Huo Guang, Jin Riyan, Shangguan Ji and other important ministers to meet him. Looking at Liu Che, who was seriously ill, Huo Guang couldn't help but burst into tears, from the bottom of his heart, he and Liu Che still had a great relationship.

He wept and asked, "If Your Majesty is not secret, who will be the heir?" ”

"Have you not understood the painting I have given you? Set up a young son, you do the things of Zhou Gong. Liu Che squinted his eyes and said weakly.

"Your Majesty, Your Minister... The minister is not as good as Jin Riyan. ”

"Ministers, foreigners, not as good as light, will make the Huns despise the Han." Kim Il-yan excused himself.

Liu Che tilted his head in agreement, he had no strength to speak.

On February 3, the edict established Liu Fuling as the crown prince, and Huo Guang, Jin Riyan, and Shangguan Ji were bequeathed to assist the young master. Huo Guang was the general of the Great Sima, Jin Riyan was the general of the chariot cavalry, and the servant Shangguan Ji was the general of the left, and he fully controlled the garrison of the capital.

On the 5th of February, Liu Che felt that his spirit was acceptable, Liu Che ordered the attendants to help him force his up, the Wuqi Palace was shaded by trees, the scenery was extremely beautiful, and with the support of the attendants, he walked tremblingly outside the door.

He ordered his attendant to bring out a rocking chair, and he was to lie down in the shade of a tree in the courtyard, and he lay down, smelling the direction of the grass and listening to the chirping of insects, and his mood was surprisingly pleasant.

Wuqi Palace is his favorite place, and in previous years, he would have stayed here for a while in his spare time in spring. Only here can he be most comfortable and calm.

The spring breeze is blowing, the sun is slanting in the west, and the attendant is ready to wake up Liu Che, who has been sleeping for a long time, hoping that he can enter the palace so as not to catch a cold here.

The attendant called His Majesty a few times, but there was no response, he stretched out his hand to Liu Che's nose, and he had already lost his breath.

The attendant immediately knelt down, and when everyone saw this, they all knelt down in unison and saw Liu Che off with tears.

Liu Che has gone through his magnificent life in this way, and when people talk about him, he can always have a heroic momentum. He is undoubtedly an outstanding emperor with great achievements and outstanding martial arts.

He also has a deficient side, he is so happy, he is poor and extravagant, he believes in gods and witches, and he makes a big mistake.

Liu Che, ascended the throne at the age of seventeen, died at the age of seventy-one, reigned for fifty-four years, his merits and demerits, later generations have many comments, his nickname aptly summed up his life, the prestige of the virtue and the martial arts.

He is the unique Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty, and the temple name is Sejong.
