At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty declined, the power of the imperial court was monopolized, and the local masses rose up and fought endlessly. In this case, some aspiring Han clan relatives, with the ideal of reviving the Han chamber, made unremitting efforts, such as Liu Bei. However, at that time, there was a prince of the Han Dynasty, who was not only purer than Liu Bei's blood, but also had a noble status and had a heavy army in his hands. This person had the opportunity to revive the Han Dynasty, but he was assassinated.

Liu Cheng
Attacking the lord, and Liu Cheng is Liu Pet's father.
In 167, Liu Became the Sixth King of Chen. Compared with Liu Bei, Liu Pet can be said to be a Han dynasty relative of "Root Zheng Miao Hong". As we all know, Liu Bei is a descendant of Liu Sheng, the King of Zhongshan Jing, and is a clan of the Western Han Dynasty, and is far from the eastern Han dynasty. In addition, Liu Bei's ancestors had long since lost their titles, and they were like commoners, and they even made a living by weaving on mat sellers. And Liu Pet was the grandson of Emperor Ming of Han, and he also inherited the throne, and he wanted soldiers and soldiers in his hands, money and money, and his status was so noble!
2. General FuHan
Don't look at Liu Pet as a prince, but he is not a clumsy disciple. According to historical records, Liu Pet was highly skilled in martial arts, "brave, good at crossbow shooting", able to shoot ten shots, and the parts of the shots were all in the same place. In 184, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, local officials and troops abandoned the city and fled for their lives, Liu Pet did not have the slightest fear, he had thousands of crossbows, so he gathered an army and garrisoned his own fiefdom. Because Liu Pet "governed the army and defended himself, the people of the country were afraid of it and did not dare to rebel."
Liu Pet's minister of state was named Luo Jun, and he was also a very capable and prestigious person. Due to the great chaos in the world and the outbreak of famine at the same time, many princes did not rent Lu, but were robbed and even starved to death. However, Chen Guo did not decline, but became stronger and stronger. This is due to the fact that Luo Jun opened a warehouse to help the hungry, and even took out all his property. With the assistance of Luo Jun, Liu Pet's Chen Guo was very rich and powerful, with more than 100,000 people. When the Kwantung Coalition army attacked Dong Zhuo, Liu Pet claimed to be a general of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty and led his army to Yangxia.
3. Tragic assassination
With Liu Pet's status, strength, ability, and prestige, he had the opportunity to revive the Han Dynasty, but in the end he was assassinated by Yuan Shu, why is this? Originally, at that time, Chen Guo "nourished the people, disasters did not give birth, and the years were enriched", and Yuan Shu once borrowed grain from Liu Pet, which was rejected by Luo Jun, the minister of Chen Guoguo. Yuan Shu held a grudge against this, so he sent Zhang Min to Chen Guo. This Zhang Min was the one who killed Cao Cao's father Cao Song, and he defected to Yuan Shu after killing Cao Song.
Zhang Min pretended to visit Luo Jun in the name of an individual, and Luo Jun did not suspect it and set up a banquet. As a result, Luo Jun was poisoned and assassinated by Zhang Min. At the same time, Liu Pet, the King of Chen, was also stabbed to death by Zhang Min. After the deaths of Liu Pet and Luo Jun, Chen Guoqun was leaderless and went into decline. It is worth mentioning that Luo Jun's son was named Luo Tong, and later assisted Sun Quan, and the official was appointed as the Governor of Shu and the Marquis of Xinyangting.
