It is said that the imperial heart, the needle under the sea! The emperor's mind is difficult to guess. The people who were always with the emperor may not know what mistakes they had made, and they were removed.
Companion is like a companion tiger, this sentence is not a joke!
In Liu Bang's later years, his death was very tangled. The most troublesome thing was that he considered how to protect the safety of Liu Ruyi and Lady Qi.
He was afraid that after his death, these two people would be persecuted by Lü Hou.
After all, Lü Hou's son Liu Ying became emperor, and it was Lü Hou who was in charge of the imperial government. Lü Hou and Lady Qi had another conflict, and the two of them quarreled in order to compete for the position of crown prince for their son.
Under such circumstances, how could Empress Lü let Lady Qi go?
Is it okay to kill Lü Hou?
Of course, it is not possible, because Lü Hou is a politician, only lü hou is there, his Liu family's jiangshan will be stable, after all, It is Lü Hou's son who is the emperor, and she will advise her son.
Another is that the Lü family's influence is very large, and if they can't do it themselves, Lü Hou's family can't be offended. Even if you can sacrifice Lady Qi, you can't kill Lü Hou.
Lü Houzai's words were to protect them in the Great Han Jiangshan, Lady Qi and Liu Ruyi, just two people! How can they be compared to the Great Han Dynasty?
Lü Hou's political skills we all know, she killed Han Xin, suggested that Liu Bang kill Peng Yue, this is a very courageous person, Liu Bang handed over Jiangshan to her at ease.
After not being able to kill Lü, and worried that Lü Hou would attack Lady Qi and Liu Ruyi, how could he do his best to protect Lady Qi and Liu Ruyi?
Liu Bang thought of his son Emperor Hui of Han and asked him to ensure the safety of Lady Qi and Liu Ruyi, and at the same time, he also found a gengzhi chancellor, Zhou Chang, and asked him to be Liu Ruyi's chancellor to secretly protect Liu Ruyi.
It turns out that neither path will work, of course, this is all a story. However, at that time, Liu Bang could only think of these things.
However, why did Liu Bang want to get rid of Fan Duo?
Fan Duo was his brother-in-law, who had saved his life at the Hongmen banquet, such a person was loyal to Liu Bang, did Liu Bang really want to kill him?
When Liu Bang was lying on a hospital bed and about to die, he heard that Fan Duo, who had rebelled against Lu Xuan in the Yan kingdom, wanted to wait for Liu Bang to die, and after leading his troops into the capital to unite with Lü, he killed Lady Qi and Liu Ruyi.
It was under this circumstance that Liu Bang asked Chen Ping and Zhou Bo to go to Yandi and kill Fan Duo.
There is nothing wrong with looking at this matter alone, but it is extremely frightening to think about it.
As an emperor, liu bang, who is Fan Duo, doesn't he know? Even if he listened to the rumors, he was going to kill Fan Duo, which was not something he could do.
However, considering that Fan Duo was Lü Hou's brother-in-law, it seemed that killing this person could weaken the strength of the Lü family. It doesn't matter if Fan is not anti-reactionary. The important thing is that Fan Yu's death may be a good thing.
But who will kill Fan?
Liu Bang thought of Chen Ping?
When Chen Ping heard Liu Bang ask him to kill Fan Duo, the first thing he thought of was that Liu Bang was not going to kill Fan Duo, this was obviously to kill me.
Because Liu Bang was about to die, if Chen Ping killed Fan Duo, Liu Bang would die, and it was Lü Hou's son who became emperor, and it was Lü Hou who was in power.
Chen Ping killed Empress Lü's brother-in-law Fan Duo, could Empress Lü's sister forgive him?
Killing Fan Duo Chen Ping is definitely a capital offense, but not killing Fan Duo is not listening to Liu Bang's orders, and it seems that it is also a living sin that cannot be escaped.
However, after considering these things clearly, Chen Ping was also difficult to argue. However, after this "conspiracy" was discovered by him, he actually made the right choice.
This choice is that he does not kill Fan Duo, chooses to waste time on the road, as long as he waits until Liu Bang dies, this problem will be solved. Liu Bang was dead, fan was not killed, didn't he just escape death?
Later, Chen Ping used this way of dragging Liu Bang to death, and then saved his own life.
So, the question is why did Liu Bang kill Chen Ping?
Because Liu Bang did not trust Chen Ping as a person, Chen Ping belonged to the two-sided and three-blade faction, and no one could make him loyal to himself all the time, and he would follow whomever he could bring him benefits.
Just like at the beginning, he followed Xiang Yu, was reused by Xiang Yu, and then saw that Liu Bang's development was good, and then turned to Liu Bang. Also, before Liu Bang was temporary, he also said to Lü Hou that Chen Ping's selfishness was too heavy and he could not be used. However, he is definitely a very talented person.
Lü Hou also asked, can you make him the prime minister? Liu Bang said that it was okay to let him be the prime minister, but he could only be the deputy prime minister, which was Liu Bang Chen Ping's defense.
This shows that Liu Bang can't look down on Chen Ping, and Chen Ping is a person that Liu Bang can control, and no one else can control him.
In fact, what happened later, as Liu Bang said, he betrayed Liu Bang after Lü Hou came to power, and after Lü Hou was killed, he betrayed Lü Hou and destroyed Lü Hou's entire clan.
Looking back at chen ping like this, if he had listened to Liu Bang's words and killed Fan Huan, he would not have lived to be Emperor Huichao of Han, Emperor Wen of Han, and I am afraid that he would have been killed by Empress Lü long ago.
However, Liu Bang was still not smart enough to do anything about him, and he did not expect that he disobeyed Liu Bang's orders and did not kill Fan Duo at all. Because he failed Liu Bang, Chen Ping picked up a life!
