……

After Zang Di's death.

ushered in a new Yan King - Lu Juan.

Lu Juan is Liu Bang's fellow countryman.

In today's parlance, it's to play with bare butts until it's big and small.

As for this person, his ability is not big, his brain is average, and his military and literary skills are not inferior to other princes.

But he has been following Liu Bang's ass since he was born, and after so many years of ups and downs, he will 'never give up' no matter what Liu Bang has become, and he will share weal and woe.

Even though Lao Liu is always giggling, I am afraid that he has never trusted anyone in his heart in this life.

Zhang Liang is counted, Lu Pheasant used to be counted, and this Lu Juan should also be regarded as one of them at the beginning.

If a man is not a stone, how can he be heartless? Liu Bang has been kind to this brother to the limit.

When I couldn't afford to eat, I would be stared at by my sister-in-law when I went to my eldest brother's house to eat.

Back then, I was nothing, I didn't have a daughter-in-law in my thirties and forties, and when the neighbors looked at me strangely, you always really regarded me as a big brother.

There are some things that Lao Liu doesn't say, but Lao Liu remembers.

Later, Liu Bang took Lu Juan and gave him the title of general and marquis all the way, and rewarded gold and beauties and fields.

happened to be in addition to Zang Di, he also followed, Lao Liu waved his hand, and King Yan made it for him.

Tearing the earth and sealing the king, under the emperor, above the people.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, it was divided into eight princes.

Those seven, even including Han Xin, Liu Bang could not be called willing.

But only this Lu Juan is a king with a different surname set by Liu Bang himself.

For Liu Bang, this matter is precious enough to see.

Therefore, when Lu Juan colluded with the Xiongnu to rebel later, Liu Bang refused to believe it from beginning to end.

Someone accused Han Xin, Peng Yue and others of rebellion, and Liu Bang immediately took people to investigate.

But when someone accused Lu Juan of rebellion, his first reaction was disbelief.

He didn't believe that this brother, who had been with him all his life, would betray him.

Generally, when encountering this kind of thing, Liu Bang's attitude is very straightforward - directly lead the troops to push over.

But for Lu Juan, he just sent someone to send a message to ask him to come to Beijing to explain clearly.

Lu Juan was frightened and said that he couldn't get sick, and Liu Bang didn't even press it further, but just didn't press it.

Until the surrender of the Xiongnu took the initiative to confess the forces that colluded within the Han Dynasty, among which Lu Juan was impressively registered.

Liu Bangcai had to believe it.

He sent Fan Hao to besiege the Yan Kingdom and recover the land.

At this point, except for Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, the remaining seven kings with different surnames all died out, and only the prince surnamed Liu remained in the world.

At this time, the nature of the sub-feudal king is not quite the same as that of the previous sub-feudal king.

However, it still has relatively strong autonomy.

Until the end of the Three Kingdoms, the Jin swallowed Wei, and the chaotic Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties divided the land of China and unified the Sui Dynasty.

This forced compromise system is gradually coming to an end.

The so-called feudal kings in the later years generally did not have fiefdoms, and their authority was no longer of the same nature as the original feudal kings.

Back to Lu Juan.

Why did he collude with the Xiongnu to rebel?

In fact, the reason for the later investigation is also very simple.

Like Yingbu, this benevolent brother was under great pressure after the tragic deaths of a king with a different surname.

even lamented, "Among the seven kings with different surnames who were crowned that year, only me and Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, remained." Now that the emperor is seriously ill and Empress Lu is in power, he always wants to get rid of me and other heroes, and then he will be fast, I don't know when it will be my turn......"

In fact, he was largely overwhelmed. (Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he was reasonably concerned.) ）

Although Ren Bangzi is small-minded, but you, the prince, were personally sealed by him back then, as long as you are honest and sensible, Liu Bang may not necessarily move him.

If you don't see Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, nothing else is a sensible.

I still live comfortably and enjoy my old age in peace.
