The Han Jing Emperor was undoubtedly right to cut the domain. But this plan should be applicable to any princely state within the Territory of the Han Empire. In this way, any princely state surnamed Liu was under the danger of this system.
In fact, the Han Jing Emperor did not take into account the huge resistance that should be encountered. When Empress Lü was alive, her treatment of the State of Qi, simply put, was to "cut the domain" and split the State of Qi. Chengyang County, Jinan County, and Langya County all left the State of Qi. This had already caused a "rebellion", and Empress Lü's clan was destroyed by the collusion of the Qi state and the Han Dynasty ministers. This lesson Han Jingdi should have seen. Even if I didn't see it in person, it was only about twenty years away from the Han Jing Emperor Dynasty, which was quite close, and it cannot but be said that the memory is still fresh.
At that time, the State of Qi killed the Lü clan, and the kings of other powerful princely states were watching calmly. As soon as he saw that the Lü clan had collapsed, he relaxed his mind and continued the development of his own princely states. After Emperor Wen of Han received the support of the ministers of the Han Dynasty, in order to appease the Kings of the Liu clan, he completed the State of Qi and returned the land taken by the Lü clan. Throughout his life, Emperor Wen of Han compromised with the princely states. Therefore, Jia Yi persuaded Emperor Wen of Han to cut the domain, but Emperor Wen of Han did not listen, but instead released Jia Yi. In the end, Emperor Wen of han did not move a single hair of the princely states.
So when it came to the Han Jing Emperor, the situation changed. The princely states were not much greeted by his court. Chao Que insisted on cutting the domain, hoping that emperor Jing of Han would be able to see the general trend of the world clearly. For the sake of the country's long-term peace and stability, it must be better to suffer for a long time than a short pain, then there must be only a weak clan, otherwise, the country will not be a country.
Emperor Jingdi of Han had many concerns, because his younger brother Liang Wangdian Liangguo was not only a large vassal state, but also a particularly important position, in the heart of the Han Dynasty. It can block the road to the west of the State of Qi, the State of Wu, the State of Huainan, and the State of Chu. It was the transportation hub of the Han Dynasty. It was the meeting place of the princely states.
When Emperor Jing of Han came up with a plan, everyone was staring at how the emperor treated Liang Guo.
However, Emperor Jingdi of Han first took the knife of Liu Hao, the king of Wu, and then the state of Chu and jiaozhou, so that the other princely states were not convinced. Liang Guo was pushed to the valley of the wind and waves.
King Liang's situation was equivalent to being grilled. On the one hand, the emperor is his brother, and the interests of the emperor are his interests. Therefore, he must help his brother, help the emperor to maintain the peace and stability of the country, and fight back against the rebellion. However, the King of Liang could not think of the future? What happens after the rebellion is put down?
In fact, when Emperor Jingdi of Han dealt with the strong resistance he thought might encounter, he co-opted his younger brother King Liang to block the gun for him. These situations show that Empress Dou and Emperor Jing of Han said several times that they would make King Liang their successor. It was impossible for Liang Wang's mother to lie, but Emperor Jingdi of Han might have lied.
According to the ideas of emperor Jing of Han later, he may have taken this opportunity to let the King of Liang take the lead and let the King of Liang be consumed by Wu Chu's army in the early stages. It may be a means of "killing people with a knife". During the most difficult period, the King of Liang asked the imperial army of Zhou Yafu, Dou Bao, and the emperor for reinforcements. However, none of them gave it to King Liang. King Gui of Liang had to kneel and beg his generals to fight, and King Liang personally fought bloody battles on the front line to block the repeated attacks of Wu and Chu's armies. It gained valuable time for the central government of the Han Dynasty to mobilize troops. Zhou Yafucai, together with Liang Guo, defeated the Wu-Chu rebels.
Emperor Jingdi of Han was "a hero to kill more" to these rebels. It was a bloody and violent crackdown.
The princely states of the Han Dynasty suffered a heavy blow. In this war, the Liang state was not consumed, but grew stronger. Due to the great merits of liang guo, the status of the king of Liang was improved. The strength of the Liang state made the Han Jing Emperor feel a new threat. This powerful Liang state was a heart disease for emperor Jingdi of Han. How to cut the domain to the Liang Kingdom was another difficult problem for the Han Jing Emperor.
