Liu Bang was able to establish the Western Han Dynasty in the midst of great difficulties, and it was the strategist Xiao He who contributed indispensably. When Xiao He was young, he was a member of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and he had insight into the world, and later attached himself to Liu Bang, which had a lot of planning effects. Liu Bang regards Xiao He as a confidant and trusts him very much.
It is said that in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Xiao He, who was in a high position, often had the heart of helping the world and the people. One day, Xiao He left Chang'an City to inspect the suburbs, and encountered a strange battle: a rough man, whipped and shouted, and dozens of idle servants followed him, and behaved excessively. The big man turned out to be Lang Zhong Han Xin, who demoted Xiang Yu back then. Most of Xiang Yu's old subordinates have been ruined, while Han Xin is dissolute, full of private pockets, and acts presumptuously as a former servant.
Xiao He was worried for a long time when he saw this, and said: "Everyone in the world says that Han Xin is manic and inactive, and he is not available. However, if you read this person carefully, although he is rough and prescient, he is nothing less than a hero. Today, recruit talents, would you rather help this person? "It is a secret order for his cronies to recruit Han Xin to his home, follow the good temptations, and put his heart in his heart. Unexpectedly, Xiao He's words were contrary to Han Xin's ears, but Han Xin was blunt and said the truth to Xiao He:
"Prime Minister Xiao Cheng is a leader in the middle of the dynasty and a pillar of this dynasty. However, there are also confusions. I was young and did nothing, because I didn't improve my industry. But every time I think about it, it may lead to bright flowers. The prime minister cited me as a support, and I was ashamed. I have the ambition to do things, but there is no way to vote, so it is not painful to let loose the wreckage! ＂
When Xiao He saw Han Xin say this, he couldn't help but suddenly realize. Nai said to Han Xin: "Today, we are wide to recruit talents, and our party is a lot of disciples, and it is difficult to follow the good ones." If you are willing to move forward, I should recommend the ancestor for you, so that you will have a place to display. ＂
When Han Xin heard this, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Xiao He then wrote a chapter for Han Xin, extolling his military exploits and directly stating his military talents. Liu Banglan was overjoyed. After all, Liu Bang has gone through hardships, and he has never met a show, and he will be extended to be an assistant at first sight. So he worshiped Han Xin and engaged in it, so that he could practice martial arts with the army.
Since Han Xin was recommended by Xiao He, he has made great contributions and made many miraculous achievements. Liu Bang appreciated Han Xin and entrusted him with an important task. Han Xin is well aware of Liu Bang's moral politics, and he is dedicated, and he is loyal. Within a few years, Han Xin had been promoted to General Wei and sealed 15,000 households in the country. The power is growing, who knows the rest of the wings?
However, Han Xin was arrogant and arrogant, and he was in the phase, quite like a hussar camp. Every suggestion, express one's own opinions, contrary to the subordinates. Han Xin is brave with horses, and if he enters, he tends to be inflammatory, and if he retreats, he will be poor. Liu Bang saw that he was becoming more and more arrogant, and he was worried that Han Xin would go against the grain and make him feel troubled.
So Liu Bang actually gave Han Xinqin the title of provocation and reduction, and divided his military power. Han Xin was furious and wanted to covet the government and the opposition. Liu Bang was afraid that he would make a mess, so he ordered Xiao He to restrain him. Shi Xiao He is already the prime minister, and the power is added, and the government and the opposition are all subordinate.
Xiao He knew the danger and admonished Han Xin: "If it is not for Your Majesty's suspicion, General Han will do it himself." Now that martial law is being tightened, why not leave the old area of decaying grass and peace in peace? Han Xin was unhappy, but he could only forbear.
Suddenly, Lu Hou made a sparse statement and slandered Liu Bang, saying that Han Xin had a bad intention. Liu Bangxin thought it was true, so he drove Han Xin out of Beijing. Xiao He saw Han Xin's loss of power and humiliation, hidden worries and turmoil, and was trying to turn the tide, but Han Xin actually approached the Chang'an Palace with his family members!
Han Shin hated being suspicious and was determined to regain power. Xiao He was shocked and saluted, and sincerely advised: "The lord of the worried country, you are like a son, why do you suspect this?" We have been on the battlefield for a long time, and we are good generals, and we have Xiao what is the quality, and we should have our own day. Thou shalt tie himself to the villa, and he is suspicious of the fog and dust, and the ministers wait for the lord to discuss again! ＂
Han Xin was temporarily blinded by rhetoric, and was indeed stationed in the villa. But how did Han Xin know that at this time, it was already a bloody storm, with strong neighbors eyeing each other outside, and usurping power and eunuchs inside? In Xiao He's selfish heart, he has regarded Han Xin as a threat, and wants to get rid of him, so he does not hesitate to use rogue measures.
first falsely claimed that Liu Bang had killed Chen Xin and led Han Xin into the palace
With the promise of "heaven does not kill, earth does not kill, iron does not kill", the layout of killing moves
After Han Xin approached Chang'an, he was dismissed and expelled and exiled to Guangling. However, Han Xin has a brave temperament, how can he be willing to wait for death? He looked at the capital from afar, thinking about a plan to seize power and take revenge.
Shi Xiao He can be called a veteran in the dynasty, with high morality and respect, and is quite relied on by Liu Bang. Xiao He felt that Han Xin's evil intentions were unpredictable, so he secretly followed the temptation and used poisonous schemes. He first ordered his cronies to pass an order, falsely claiming that Chen Yi had been killed, and instigated Empress Lu to set up a prison for the Heavenly Master.
Chen Li, who was Liu Bang's old department, once competed with Han Xin for power and profit. And Empress Lu also had a suspicion of Han Xin, and was deeply afraid that he would be rebellious. As soon as the news came out, it really shocked Jingshi. Han Xin was shocked when he heard the news, he had always been intrigued with Chen Xin, and now that his old friend was killed by this murder, how could he be indifferent?
So Han Xin hurriedly sent people to Beijing to inquire about the news. When Xiao He heard this, he secretly ordered his cronies to urge Empress Lu to send a letter of consultation as soon as possible, and coerced Chen Xin to say that he was dead, so Han Xin should drive to the palace to meet His Majesty as soon as possible. The consultation said: "Your Majesty misses the old man and intends to delay the meeting, I hope the general will not hesitate to come to the court to see you soon." ＂
Han Xin saw the earnest words in the book, and remembered the love between life and death with Liu Bang in the past, and couldn't help but be moved. He finally reluctantly believed it and prepared to go to Chang'an to meet Liu Bang. Who knows what kind of poisonous plan Xiao is in the middle of this, and he falls into the net of prisoners.
Han Xin left Guangling and rode to the capital with more than 100 of his wife. Along the way, he was still nervous and couldn't help sighing. When he arrived in Chang'an, there was Liu Bang of Jingzhou waiting in the temple. Han Xin's old subordinates followed him forward and told him that Liu Bang had promised three times to "see the sky and not kill, see the earth, and see the iron and not kill".
When Han Xin heard this, he was a little relieved. However, he was also secretly vigilant, and decided to ask in advance first. But Xiao He was on the side, and he had already heard this, so he greeted him with a smiling face, which was very polite. When he entered the palace, he suddenly changed his face and commanded his cronies and tied up Han Xin!
The details of Xiao He's massacre of Han Xin and the origin of the 12 characters
Han Xin was shocked when he saw that his hands were tied behind his back. He immediately questioned Xiao He: "Xiao Cheng strongly recommended me to join the court for many years, why is he treacherous today?" Xiao He sneered and was silent.
Suddenly, Liu Bang also appeared, his expression was cold, and his always friendly face was lost. Han Xin was overjoyed and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, the minister obeyed the call to come to the Hajj, but he was imprisoned instead, what is the fault?" ＂
Liu Bang's eyes widened angrily, and he scolded: "The traitor Hugh has to quibble!" I've long seen that you're ambitious and trying to do wrong! Just now, I still have three promises to you, don't kill when you see the sky, don't kill when you see the ground, and don't kill when you see iron. Now I have repented, and I will never forgive you, a rebel and thief! ＂
Han Xin was shocked and inexplicably at a loss. He never imagined that he would be treated in such humiliation. I saw Xiao He sneering on the side, obviously there was another conspiracy.
Liu Bang was immediately ordered to be imprisoned, and Han Xin was firmly locked in a dark cell. After several months, Han Xin was trapped in a narrow room, starved and thirsty, and tortured with humiliation. Although he was unwilling, he was powerless to resist.
Half a year later, an executioner finally came to see Han Xin. He told Han Xin: "In the past, Xiao He once strongly recommended the general Yu Liu Bang to make you a very popular minister. But you are alone and plotting against you. His Majesty was furious, and Xiao Xiang was ordered to kill you to prevent future troubles. ＂
Han Xin was furious when he heard this, and roared fiercely: "I have no fault! Xiao He is a traitor and traitor, and he framed me! The emperor listened to slander and killed loyal ministers in vain! ＂
As he spoke, the executioner stabbed his blade into Han Shin's throat. Han Xin resisted desperately, but after all, he couldn't catch it and was killed by cutting his throat alive. When he was dying, he was heartbroken and hated.
On the day Han Xin was killed, Xiao He actually wrote a note in person, explaining the conclusive reason for "exterminating the traitor", and read it with Liu Bang as a dictionary. The last sentence of the recital is: "The minister personally corrected his corpse in the street, and laid evidence next to the stolen goods, so as to set an example." ＂
Reading this, even Liu Bang couldn't help but be terrified. He sighed lowly, tears welled up in his eyes, and he muttered to himself: "Han Xin's words about the corpse in the past are true!" ＂
Since then, the phrase "beside the roadside of the corpse" has become an eternal footnote to Xiao He's cunning and viciousness, and it is also a witness to Han Xin's miserable experience.
After Han Xin was humiliated to death, Xiao He wept and recited the origin of the 12 characters
Han Xin was killed in this way, and his death was miserable. His family members and relatives all wailed and cut their bones. But Xiao He has always done things without leakage, and he has not left any traces. The government and the opposition have only heard about this matter slightly, but they don't know the whole picture.
Xiao He knew that he was a sibling, but he was also very sad. Soon after, he actually had Han Shin's body hung up in the street as an example. After the body decayed, the white bones lay desolate on the side of the street. When pedestrians saw this, they were either frightened or gloating.
On this day, Xiao Xiang happened to be on the street with his ministers. Suddenly, I saw several children hugging and kicking a white bone, and laughed in their mouths. When Xiao He saw it, he burst into tears, and he couldn't help but feel sad. When the rest of the civil and military ministers saw this, they were surprised and suspicious.
Xiao He's eyes were red and swollen, and tears flowed down his face for a long time. Finally, he sighed, folded his hands, and said bitterly: "This white bone is a loyal and brave minister in the past, and it will be harmed by me in the end. I left his body on the side of the road, and I didn't expect it to be so miserable! ＂
When the ministers heard this, they were all shocked. There was a counselor: "Xiao Xiang was wise in his life, how could he kill the father?" Could it be that there is something else going on? ＂
Xiao He didn't hide it, he groaned slightly, and then truthfully explained the cause and effect: "This person is Han Xinye." In the past, His Majesty and Han Xin were very friendly, and I also supported them with my heart. I don't want Han Xin to be arrogant and presumptuous, and he has conspired against him several times, causing His Majesty to be suspicious. I had no choice but to punish him to prevent future troubles. ＂
The ministers were all shocked. Xiao He shook his head, and then said, "I have a good heart. However, it is the loyalty of the minister, and it has to be done. Today, Han Xin's bones are gone, only this corpse is left on the side of the road, extremely ashamed, sad and sad! ＂
Xiao He said, his temples were bright. I saw that those children were still kicking and beating the bones, and their mouths were full of laughter. Xiao He burst into tears and whispered to the left and right: "In the past, Han Xin, I was strongly recommended to enter the court. Now the bones are trampled on the streets, which is a pity. This is called 'the side of the road to correct the corpse', which has a profound meaning! ＂
Since then, the phrase "beside the roadside of the corpse" has become an eternal footnote between the government and the opposition. When future generations heard it, they all sighed.
