Later generations of founding emperors always loved to kill heroes, that is, they were afraid of ending up with the same fate as Liu Bang. It is said that Qin Shi Huang did not kill the heroes, but his son was also slaughtered by Zhao Gao, Li Si and others. There are the lessons of the two founding emperors of the Qin and Han Dynasties, which is enough for future kings to take as a warning.
Before Liu Bang died, he entrusted Zhou Bo and said, "An Liu's world will be Bo Ye!" However, Zhou Bo joined forces with Chen Ping, the founding father of the country, and slaughtered all of Liu Bang's grandsons. A collateral line was established that originally had no connection with the imperial throne, Liu Heng, the acting king, which was the later Emperor Wen of Han.
When Liu Bang was alive, Empress Lü Yan was very strong, and she secretly killed Han Xin from Liu Bang, and saved Fan Duo, who Wanted to kill Liu Bang, all of which were the attention of Lü Hou. After Liu Bang's death, the crown prince Liu Ying succeeded to the throne as Emperor Hui of Han. Liu Ying was the son of Empress Lü and was still young, so the powerful Empress Lü began to blatantly monopolize the imperial gang.
Later, Lü Hou forced Liu Ying to see Ren Yan, which frightened her obedient son into a psychological shadow and scolded Lü Hou for not being human. Since then, Liu Ying has ignored the government and politics, indulged in sound and color dogs and horses all day, had physical problems, and died at the age of 23.
Therefore, Lü Hou also made Liu Ying's son and his grandson Liu Gong emperor. However, after Lü Hou killed his mother and son in order to prevent future troubles, and After Liu Gong knew that his mother was killed by Lü Hou, the child could not hide his heart and actually threatened to take revenge sooner or later. Therefore, Lü Hou was ruthless and slaughtered Liu Gong, and instead installed another son of Liu Ying, Liu Hong, as emperor, and Liu Gong and Liu Hong reigned for a very short time, historically known as the Former and Later Shao Emperors.
During the reigns of Liu Ying, Liu Gong, and Liu Hong, Lü Hou monopolized the imperial program, and later even became a ruler of the Dynasty, vigorously supporting the power of the Lü family, not only breaking Liu Bang's national policy of "not being crowned king with a different surname", but also engaging in the work of killing the king. In this process, Zhou Bo, Chen Pingping and the founding fathers could only hide in the corner and shiver.
As soon as Lü Hou died, Zhou Bo and Chen Ping's founding fathers could not wait to rise up, they could not look directly at the fear of being dominated by Lü Hou, so they could not wait to kill everything related to the Lü family.
Zhou Bo and Chen Ping joined forces with Liu Clan relatives to kill Zhu Lü, and originally killed a foreign relative surnamed Lü. In history, when other dynasties destroyed foreign relatives, they all killed foreign relatives and stopped. However, Zhou Bo and Chen Ping were suspicious that the young emperor Liu Hong was the grandson of Empress Lü, so they slaughtered the emperor as well.
Not only that, because after Liu Hong's death, the other sons of Emperor Hui of Han became the first candidates to inherit the throne, and these princes were also the grandsons of Empress Lü! So Zhou Bo and Chen Ping slaughtered all these princes, namely Liu Chao the Prince of Huaiyang, Liu Wu the King of Changshan, and Liu Tai the Prince of Liang. After the death of these people, Liu Bang's concubine bloodline was broken.
The reason why the founding fathers slaughtered the imperial family was that in fact, Emperor Hui of Han himself could not have children, and these princes were all impersonated by Empress Lü with the blood of the Lü family! I am afraid that even they themselves do not believe it. But it didn't matter, from the time Zhou Bo and Chen Ping slaughtered the emperor, in fact, they were already a rebel. Then they just need to find a good receiver and live a safe and stable life.
When the Meritorious Group led by Zhou Bo and Chen Ping killed the Lü clan, they also had an ally, that is, the forces of the king of the clan headed by Liu Xiang. Originally, the revolutionary friendship between the two sides joined forces to overthrow the Lü clan, and the normal plot of the Young Emperor after the killing of the young emperor should be Liu Xiang's entry into Chang'an.
But Liu Xiangbing was strong and powerful, and his prestige was very high, and he was obviously not a good receiver. After all, the lord is weak, and the Meritorious Group has been succumbing to the obscenity of Empress Lü for too long, and does not want to find a strong master, especially when they have the right to choose. Therefore, in the end, Liu Heng, the acting king known as Rende (weak), was favored by them, so the Gongxun Group took the initiative to invite the daiwang to join Chang'an.
After Liu Heng succeeded to the throne, he was Emperor Wen of Han, and Zhou Bo did indeed become the minister of ten thousand people under one person, in fact, this was the exchange of benefits. You give me a throne, I send you a chancellor. It's just a pity that Liu Heng hid very deeply, not the Muggles they thought, otherwise there would be no Wenjing rule later.
Later, Zhou Bo was arrested and imprisoned for treason, but was released again at the advice of Empress Bo. After all, he was the biggest promoter of Liu Heng's claim to the emperor, and he was kind to Liu Heng. However, when Zhou Bo's lineage reached his grandchildren, he was convicted of a crime due to the poor quality of the gold sacrificed, and the abolition of the fiefdom was also regarded as a causal cycle and was punished.
In this incident, the most innocent were the four sons of Emperor Hui of Han, who were beheaded just because they were Lü Yan's grandsons, and what was even more speechless was that one of the people who carried out the order was Xiahou Bao.
You must know that when Liu Bangbing was defeated and fled, the carriage could not run fast, so he kicked the two sisters and brothers of The Han Hui Emperor Liu Ying off the carriage, and it was Xiahou Baby who carried the poor sisters and brothers back to the carriage. Liu Bang kicked again, Xiahou Bao hugged again, and finally Liu Bang could only give up, so that Liu Ying, the Emperor of Han Hui, saved his life. Unexpectedly, many years later, it was this Xiahou Baby who killed all of Liu Ying's bloodlines.
It can only be said that in the face of such a thing as taking sides, feelings are very pale and weak. The later Emperor Wen of Han, Liu Heng, was the beneficiary of the incident, and it was impossible to overturn the case for Emperor Huidi's son, but only to help cover up the truth of the matter while secretly waking up in his heart.
