Chapter 246: Life and death have their own destiny
"Due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, the resistance of the British and Bu did not last long, and it collapsed and failed."
"But Liu Bang also paid a heavy price for this, and in the fierce battle, Liu Bang commanded from the front, and as a result, he was shot by an arrow."
Meng Yi: Is there just a general who can go to the battlefield? In his later years, an emperor still has to personally bring illness to fight? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang: Liu Bang was very old at the time, and there was not much time to come, where was there still patience with these heroes and generals, in order to consolidate the imperial power, let the descendants of the Liu family sit on the country for thousands of generations, and directly adopted the most simple and crude killing methods, wanting to never suffer in the future, Liu Bang's ruthlessness made these heroes and generals everyone in danger, many people were unwilling to be killed, and embarked on the road of rebellion.
Liu Bang has been on the battlefield for a long time in his life, and has been injured many times before, "he was hit by the twelve, and there were four people who passed through the arrow", and they all survived. ”
"But at this time, Liu Bang is not what he used to be, his age is not forgiving, his physique is not as good as before, although this arrow did not hit the vital point, but the wound did not heal for a long time, day by day, and gradually made Liu Bang bedridden."
"After returning to Chang'an, Liu Bang's condition continued to deteriorate, and he had a premonition that his time was running out, so he tried to abolish the crown prince Liu Ying again and replace Mrs. Qi's son Liu Ruyi as the prince, but sadly found that the prince's position could not be shaken."
"Empress Lu was worried about Liu Bang's safety, so she found a famous doctor to treat Liu Bang's injuries."
Liu Bang's reaction was unexpected, as soon as he saw the doctor, he said angrily: "I use cloth clothes to carry a three-foot sword to take the world, this is not the mandate of heaven?" Life is in the sky, although Bian Que is of no benefit! ”
"claimed that life and death have their own destiny, and he had to obey God's arrangement, but he drove the doctor away."
"Why did Liu Bang drive the doctor away? Could it be that he really wants a quick death? On the contrary, he did it in order to live a few more days so that he would not dare to accept the doctor's treatment.
"The doctor invited by Empress Lu, how dare Liu Bang use it?"
"After dealing with the issue of meritorious heroes, the dispute between the princes of the Han Dynasty at that time tended to be white-hot."
Although Liu Ying, the son of Empress Lu, has been made the crown prince, Liu Bang doted on Mrs. Qi in his later years, and had the intention to abolish Liu Ying and let Liu Ruyi, the son of Mrs. Qi, be the prince. Mrs. Qi and Empress Lu are incompatible rivals, if he really does this, Mrs. Qi's power will rise, and Empress Lu and her family will soon suffer a catastrophe. ”
"Because of this incident, Liu Bang and Empress Lu, a couple in distress, have long been separated."
"The only reasonable explanation why Liu Bang, who is full of scheming, does not dare to accept the doctor's treatment of his injuries is that he is worried that the doctor will be bought by Empress Lu and assassinate him when he is healing, because only when he dies Liu Ying's position as the crown prince will be stable, and Empress Lu does have the motivation to do so."
"At this moment, Lu Juan, the king of Yan, rebelled."
"Lu Juan is Liu Bang's youngest child, the two were born on the same day, the same month, and the same year, and they are good friends who grew up together, and Liu Bang regards him as his own person who can definitely rest assured."
"Lu Juan's rebellion is a fatal blow to Liu Bang, who else can he trust?"
"Before Liu Bang died, he was most relieved of his son Liu Ruyi, who tried his best to avoid a tragedy."
However, in the second year after Liu Bang's death, Liu Ruyi was poisoned, and Mrs. Qi was made a "human biao". ”
"Liu Bang named his favorite son Ruyi, but he used his experience in his later years to illustrate that even if you are the emperor, you don't have a wishful life."
Liu Bang: Lu Pheasant, you poisonous woman!
Lv Pheasant: Yo! Angry! Am I poisonous? How can you be ruthless!
"The reason why Liu Bang wants to abolish the crown prince is actually to cut off the power base of Empress Yilu's relatives to ensure that the descendants of the Liu family occupy the largest share of power in the Han Dynasty."
"However, Liu Bang is the son of cloth after all, and his power comes from the barrel of a gun, so he must consider the attitude of other military meritorious nobles on this matter."
"Otherwise, even if Liu Bang relies on his prestige to abolish the crown prince, what will he do after that, the Han will die if he doesn't do it well."
"When Qin Shi Huang abolished the crown prince and Fusu, the foundation of the world was ruined, how could Liu Bang turn a blind eye to the lessons of the past?"
"However, the heroes and nobles are all on the side of the Lu family, as soon as Liu Bang came out and said that he wanted to abolish the prince, Zhang Liang repeatedly advised, Liu Bang did not listen, Zhang Liang couldn't help but be sick, and he was no longer a director."
Zhou Chang, the imperial historian, argued with Liu Bang, Liu Bang asked him what the reason was, and Zhou Chang, who stuttered, just said: "The minister can't speak, but he knows that he can't, although His Majesty wants to abolish the prince, the minister will not obey the edict." ”
The crown prince and the uncle Sun Tong even admonished and said: "The prince is benevolent and filial, everyone in the world hears of it, Empress Lu and His Majesty work hard together, can you betray her!" Your Majesty will depose the crown prince, and the ministers will be willing to ambush and spill blood on this great hall! ”
"If Zhang Liang and Zhou Chang are just not cooperative, then Uncle Sun Tong is a naked threat, and he also points out the crux of this matter - the emperor can't turn his back on his sister-in-law (Empress Lu) who has suffered together!"
"However, Liu Banggui is the Son of Heaven, why can't he turn his back on Lu Hou's family?"
Liu Che: If these heroes and nobles had truly loved, supported, and been loyal to Empress Lü and her family, there would not have been a palace coup d'état that later exterminated Lü, in the final analysis, it was only because the political benefits of being loyal to Empress Lü at that time were greater than being loyal to Liu Bang.
Xiaozhuang: You are really the Liu family! Even the courtiers know Liu Bang's position, half of it depends on Lu Pheasant, and everyone else thinks that your Liu family has lost their conscience, and the hard days have finally passed, so they want to abandon their wretched wife, and they want to let Liu Ruyi be the prince, how is he better than Liu Ying?
Li Zhi: Why is it opposite? Because Lu Pheasant did something wrong later, and let him go down with cholera, something will definitely happen to this big man, and the coup d'état behind is the reason for Lu Pheasant, but Liu Bang wanted to establish Liu Ruyi as the prince in the early stage, what is the difference between this and the abolition? How can this group of ministers follow Liu Bang again? Liu Bang is your ancestor, so you look at people with eyes?
Cao Cao: Don't dare to say a word!
Wu Qi: I don't dare to say it, you still come out and say a few words.
Zhang Liang: Gaozu did a really poor job on the issue of Empress Lu.
Zhu Yuanzhang: This problem can't be killed with a stick, this minister really thinks too little about the Han Dynasty, everyone has to admit that it is still the majority for the sake of profit.
"Most of the reasons are true, for their own benefit."
"At that time, Liu Bang was already terminally ill, he couldn't even get out of bed, it was already twilight, but Empress Lu and the children of the Lu family were still alive, not surprisingly, they were the core of power in the future of the Han Dynasty."
"Liu Bang is indeed the Son of Heaven, he can be killed and killed, but once he returns to the West, his power will come to naught, if the heroes stand on the opposite side of Empress Lu and the prince in order to curry favor with Liu Bang at this time, once Liu Bang dies, they will be in great trouble."
