Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, was very angry. The reason for the anger was legitimate, because he was told that his mother had been killed.
But to the embarrassment of the King of Huainan, he did not know who to settle the account with. Thinking about it, he found the Marquis of Peiyang, vented all his resentment and hatred on the hou of Peiyang, and beat him down with a cone and cut off his head.
The King of Huainan then fled to the imperial palace to seek the emperor's protection.
Now, the problem is on Emperor Wen of Han. After all, the Marquis of Peiyang was the Marquis of Han, and it was impossible to say anything about killing the imperial court ministers because of his personal vendetta. If the law is disregarded, the court decree is equivalent to empty words.
However, Emperor Wen of Han could not bring the King of Huainan to justice. Emperor Wen of Han's head was bigger!
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="6" >01 Lecherous trouble</h1>
The reason has to start from the lustfulness of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao.
When Han Gaozu was emperor, he went to Zhao Di. Zhang Ao, the King of Zhao at that time, was the son-in-law of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao.
Zhang Ao knew the temper of his father-in-law, so he dedicated his beauty to Liu Bang in the palace.
Of course, Liu Bang is not polite, and those who come do not refuse, and boldly enjoy.
For this Zhao Meiren, it was not a good thing, because Liu Bang was lucky to have her once, and she was pregnant.
But things are unpredictable.
Liu Bang was a relatively casual man, and when he chatted with his subordinate and son-in-law Zhang Ao, the King of Zhao, he spoke wildly, and his words were not very respectful to Zhang Ao's father, the late King of Zhao, and Gaozu's relatives Zhang Er.
It wasn't a big deal. Liu Bang was actually an unqualified peasant himself, and he was very angry. He is basically not very condescending to his subordinates, and his mouth is rude. His courtiers commented that he was "slow and insulting" to man.
He spoke to his son-in-law, of course, without being polite. Similar to a father-in-law now, he said to his son-in-law, how is your father this old guy!
Liu Bang was the emperor, the immediate superior of King Zhao, and the father-in-law of King Zhao. Of course, Zhao Wang Zhang Ao couldn't say anything, he could only laugh, and he didn't even have any unhappiness in his heart.
But King Zhao's courtiers were not pleased.
Logically, Zhang Er, the King of Zhao, was a courtier of Han Gaozu, and the courtier of Zhang Er, the King of Zhao, was of course also a courtier of Liu Bang. King Zhao was all convinced, so why were King Zhao's courtiers unconvinced?
Not really.
The feudalism of the Zhou Dynasty was similar to the layered contracting system. Zhou Tianzi divided the princes, and the princes were divided into doctors. These are the three levels, namely the world, the country, and the home.
The Son of Heaven is the co-lord of the world, but only the co-lord. He had his own capital and kingdom. Administratively, it does not interfere in the affairs of the princely states.
In the same way, the families of the princes (not the family in the present sense, the house of the doctor) are administratively independent of each other.
Therefore, there is the Spring and Autumn Struggle for Hegemony, the Heavenly Son suffering, the three families divided into Jin, and the Warring States Storm.
The reason is very simple, the princes are strong, that is, those who do not listen to the Son of Heaven, such as the Spring and Autumn Five Powers; the Doctor is strong, of course, he can also annex the princes, such as the Jin state and the State of Qi.
Since the administrative system is independent, the people used in the respective systems are their own people. Therefore, the courtiers of the Son of Heaven are loyal only to the Son of Heaven; the subjects of the princes are loyal only to the princes; and the courtiers of the doctors are loyal only to the doctors.
The loyalty of the Zhou, Spring and Autumn, and Warring States is divided in this way. If a vassal of a prince or a courtier of a doctor betrays his master and listens to the Son of Heaven, it is disloyalty. Not everyone has to listen to the Son of Heaven.
Qin Shi Huang erased all this, abolished the feudal system, and implemented the county system.
However, at the beginning of the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, In order to stabilize the world, Liu Bang also sealed some princes. Zhang Er, the King of Zhao, was originally a member of the King of Zhao (Zhao Guo during the Warring States period), and he later helped Liu Bang fight Xiang Yu, so he was crowned King of Zhao.
It was a vassal state.
In terms of administrative setup, the princely states of the early Han Dynasty were assisted by the central government (the Han court), and the other settings were the same as the central government, except that the king was one level lower than the emperor.
Then, except for the ministers sent by the central government of the Han Dynasty, the other people were arranged by the various princes themselves. Of course, they are all their own people. These people were only loyal to their own kings, and they did not have any concept of the Emperor of Heaven in their hearts.
These "feudal ideas" of these courtiers of King Zhang Ao of Zhao were particularly serious. Because most of them were the old people of the former Zhao King Zhang'er.
Therefore, Zhang Er, the king of Zhao, was a strange person, he was a Liang person (Wei during the Warring States period), and when people mentioned the celebrities of Da Liang, people would naturally think of Wei Wuji, the prince of Xinling, the first person of the four princes.
Zhang Er admired the Prince of Xinling when he was a child, and when he was young, he was a doorman at the Prince of Xinling. After the death of the Prince of Xinling, Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms and unified the world. Zhang Er did not want to make an effort, and tried to climb the daughter of a rich man and marry her, and since then he has had a million family wealth. So he studied the Prince of Xinling, recruited a wide range of disciples, and raised a large number of scholars. There are a group of capable people under the hand.
Even though Zhang Er had died, these people's feelings for Zhang Er were of course the same, and they didn't care if Liu Bang was the emperor or not, they only saw the master Zhao Wang.
They listened to Han Gaozu's ancestor Liu Bang so rogue, rude insults to the late King Zhao, and everyone was angry and indignant. So he plotted to assassinate Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao.
This was the only subordinate assassination experienced by Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gaozu, in his lifetime.
They ambushed Liu Bang's place to live, the Bai people, in longyao county, in present-day Xingtai City, Hebei Province. At that time, behind the walls, in the cypress trees, in the toilets, there were ambushes. Who knew that Liu Bang went to the toilet and felt that the shadow of this cypress tree was very shaky, he asked what the name of this place was, and replied: "Bai ren." ”
Liu Bang said, "Those who are bo people are forced by people!" Bai and Qiang, at that time, the pronunciation was similar, and Liu Bang immediately slipped away and escaped a disaster.
Not long after, the case of these people assassinating Liu Bang was turned over.
Including Zhang Ao, the King of Zhao, these people were arrested.
In order to illustrate the fact that the princes and courtiers are only loyal to their masters, I must say a detail here.
After the incident, the people involved in the assassination of Liu Bang were not afraid, and more than a dozen people drew their swords and were about to kill themselves. The mastermind shouted loudly and scolded them for not understanding things. He said that these things are our own to do, King Zhao did not participate, we are all dead, but it is easy, who will defend King Zhao and clear his name?
So everyone tied their hands together and took the prison cart to Chang'an.
These people, led by Guan Gao, shaved their own hair and tied their necks in an iron ring to show that they were guilty, which was equivalent to surrendering themselves and confessing their sins, and this punishment was called tongs.
But all of them defended Zhang Ao, the King of Zhao.
This is a big case of assassinating the emperor, and of course the trial is fierce and unrelenting. This group of people had been beaten by sticks and thorns without a good piece of skin, and some of them had been hit by thousands of times, and there was no good place to take the stick.
But they always said that Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, was innocent, did not participate in the murder of the emperor, and did not know it.
Ting Wei (the official in charge of the security and prison of the capital Chang'an) could only report to Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao.
Although Liu Bang was very angry, he exclaimed, "Strong man! ”
Liu Bang sent Guan Gao's old friend Zhongdafu to inquire about the situation, and Guan Gao said: "Guan Gao is my hometown and friend, he was originally a good man, a good man who established a name for Zhao Guo and never reneged on his promises!" ”
Liu Bang was very emotional and asked The Leaker to see the last side of Guan Gao.
At that time, Guan Gao had been beaten to the ground like a dog, but he looked up and asked, "Is it a catharsis?" ”
The two men spoke in a very ordinary greeting tone, no different from usual. At the same time, when it came to whether King Zhao was involved in the murder of Liu Bang, Guan Gao said very clearly to his friend: "The common feelings of people, who do not love their families, are now facing extinction, but if we wronged King Zhao because of this, it is really not okay." Because King Zhao had not participated in the original, he did not know at all. ”
In the face of torture, and the catastrophe that will not destroy the three tribes, this Guan Gao calmly and quietly said why they killed Liu Bang's motives and inside information.
Reply to Liu Bang with the original words.
Liu Bang sighed and sent a leaker to reply to Guan Gao, Lao Tzu did not kill Zhang Ao, the King of Zhao.
Everyone died, and Zhang Ao, the King of Zhao, survived.
In fact, Liu Bang also pardoned Guan Gao. The reason is that he appreciates Guan Gao.
But Guan Gao said that the reason why I am still alive is to defend the King of Zhao, who has forgiven me, and my responsibility has been fulfilled, although I have no complaints. Besides, I don't have a face to live, and people have the name of usurpation, so what a face to do! Even if the emperor doesn't kill me, I'm not ashamed?
With a click, he broke his own neck.
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the kind of warrior temperament of the Spring and Autumn Warring States still existed, such as Guan Gao, a person like This kind of person, a large number. Later, there were very few, and now it is basically extinct.
But another person in the cell could not figure it out, that is, Zhao Meiren, she was also arrested.
In fact, Liu Bang was very angry. After all, it was the first time I had been assassinated, and I was really angry. He didn't even want to let his son-in-law Zhang Ao go, and Lü Hou went to persuade him, saying that the good villain was his son-in-law and could not be killed, Liu Bang was furious and scolded Lü Hou: "If Zhang Ao occupies the world, he will care about your daughter?" ”
If it weren't for the righteousness of Guan Gao, Zhang Ao would also have to land on the ground.
Therefore, even if Zhao Meiren had the great achievement of sleeping with him, Liu Bang would not pay attention to it. Because he suspected that Zhao Meiren slept with him, it was a beauty plan designed by Zhao Wang and others.
Zhao Meiren was in pain, and he couldn't think straight.
She begged the officials: Please report that I am pregnant with the emperor's child.
Liu Bang was still angry and ignored it.
Zhao Meiren thought about it and asked his uncle Zhao Jian to find the Marquis of Peiyang, and asked the Marquis of Peiyang to go to Lü Hou to intercede.
Marquis Peiyang's relationship with Liu Bang's empress Lü Hou was extraordinary, and the two were friends in distress, and Lü Hou trusted Hou Peiyang very much.
But this kind of thing, Lu Hou will take care of it?
Of course not. She couldn't even save her son-in-law, not to mention the fox spirit that Liu Bang found himself, even if he could save it, he wouldn't save it.
The problem was that Lü Hou refused to take care of this matter, and the Marquis of Peiyang was entrusted by others and could not complete the entrustment. What kind of temper does Lü Hou have? Hou Peiyang couldn't help it, he didn't care if he looked at Lü Hou, he didn't care.
As a result, after Zhao Mei gave birth to a child, Liu Bang's anger also subsided, and Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, was pardoned, and even the first conspirator Was pardoned.
Zhao Meiren braced up again, of course, it would be fine.
However, after this beautiful person gave birth to a child, she was extremely confused in her heart and committed suicide.
Liu Bang regretted it and was useless, so he gave the child to Lü Hou to raise.
When this child grows up, he is Liu Chang, the king of Huainan.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="140" >02 Zhang is crazy</h1>
He was the youngest son of Liu Bang. The most important thing is that he was raised by Lü Hou, so when Lü Hou cleaned up Liu Bang's other sons, he escaped a disaster.
When Emperor Wen of Han ascended the throne, only Emperor Wen of Han and Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, were left with the flesh and bones of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao. Liu Bang's eight sons, there are only two brothers left.
Although they are half-siblings, they are brothers.
Emperor Wen of Han was relatively kind, and in those years of cringing and shrinking, his brothers basically died of death, and he valued brotherly love.
Therefore, Emperor Wen of Han was particularly fond of this little brother Liu Chang and was also very conniving with him.
To what extent is it indulged?
Liu Chang probably spent a long time around Lü Hou, and during that period, they were all swords and swords, and they were cannibalistic. Liu Chang was more or less contaminated with some of Lü Hou's violent spirit. Very arrogant.
"Counting does not follow the law", that is, completely disobeying orders, violating the law and discipline, and Emperor Wen of Han did not care.
The most hateful thing is that he is also arrogant and unreasonable in the DPRK. Emperor Wen of Han went hunting, and he loudly sat on the emperor's car and sat on an equal footing with Emperor Wen of Han.
Emperor Wen of Han didn't say anything, and no one else dared to say anything.
This is Emperor Wen of Han's good temper, not strange, but after all, this is the emperor, he himself has to count in his heart, right?
No, he didn't count.
Liu Chang called out to Emperor Wen of Han, like a commanding slave, neither calling out to the emperor nor long live, and opening his mouth was: "Alas, brother! ”
Emperor Wen of Han didn't mind. Presumably he felt that his younger brother called him big brother, which was taken for granted. Anyway, successive dynasties, in front of the courtiers, directly and contemptuously called the emperor "brother", and the king of Huainan was the only one. Not only unprecedented, but also unprecedented.
What's worse is that this stubborn thing doesn't know who to listen to, his mother was killed. And he determined that the culprit was the Marquis of Peiyang who interrogated him.
This logic is only available to the arrogant and brainless people of the Huainan King.
Perhaps, he had no one to resent, so he blamed Peiyang Hou for eating him.
Who else is to blame?
Blame his father Liu Bang, that does not dare, not to mention that Liu Bang is already dead.
Blame Lü Hou, who raised herself, that would not work, not to mention that Lü Hou was also dead.
Simply resented the Marquis of Peiyang for interrogating him, and the crime was: he did not work hard when saving Zhao Meiren.
Yes, Hou Peiyang went to ask Lü Hou, but Lü Hou didn't care, why didn't you try to beg her? You have such a good relationship with Lü Hou - the relationship between Hou Peiyang and Lü Hou, the wife of Liu Bangzheng, the ancestor of Han Gaozu, is well recognized by the world, and the two were also taken prisoners in the Xiangyu camp together, and in the Western Han Dynasty, it was said that the relationship between the two was unclear.
You have such a good relationship with Lü Hou, if you try harder, Lü Hou will definitely save it, then won't my mother die?
The more Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, thought, the more angry he became.
Emperor Wen of Han was so indulgent of him again, he felt that he could take revenge.
This man was a warrior who had always imitated Xiang Yu, and like Xiang Yu, he was able to carry Ding. He carried a large iron vertebrae around all day looking for people to fight.
At this time, when he was impulsive and wanted to take revenge, he took the iron vertebrae and brought an attendant to find the Marquis of Peiyang.
When Hou Peiyang was at home, when he heard that the king of Huainan was coming, he hurried out to greet him. As soon as one foot stepped out of the door, the King of Huainan beat hou of Peiyang down with an iron vertebrae. Then let the retinue cut off the head.
The king of Huainan trotted all the way into the palace and took off his shirt.
Why take off your shirt?
This is called flesh-and-blood apology. To bear the thorn is to take off the top and put the thorn on the back to find a beating.
He knelt down in front of Emperor Wen of Han and said, "Dude, save me." I'm just avenging my mother, not to mention the Marquis of Peiyang. The subject is the marquis of the world and the thief of the world, and repays the revenge of the mother. Kill if you want.
It did not matter whether the Marquis of Peiyang was a "thief" or not, and Emperor Wen of Han could not help but save the King of Huainan.
Emperor Wen of Han pardoned the King of Huainan.
At that time, the world was shaking. Not to mention the Han courtiers, even Emperor Wendi of Han's mother, Empress Bo, and Emperor Wendi's son, the crown prince, later Emperor Jing of Han, were jealous of The King of Huainan.
The king of Huainan looked at it, and the old man spoiled me so much. Simply think of himself as an emperor, go in and out of the police, call the system, make it a decree, and be prepared for the Son of Heaven.
The police stomp is to clean the street and let the guards clear the road. Out for the police, out for the toes. This is the emperor's specification.
The system of title is the emperor's order, that is, the holy will, the command system, and the edict. For example, the emperor system is known as the emperor and the emperor is edicted.
Huainan is a country, and the law is alone.
This is simply a plot to usurp power.
Emperor Wen of Han still tolerated it.
This guy was completely dazed and plotted a rebellion.
I don't know why, maybe he was overconfident, he brought seventy dead soldiers, forty chariots, colluded with minyue and Xiongnu, and rebelled with a clear banner.
People are crazy to a certain extent, and they really don't know that the sky is high. Seventy dead soldiers, forty chariots, rebelled, and the Avengers did not dare to do so.
Of course, this was extinguished at once.
Emperor Wen of Han did not kill him. The Manchu dynasty all shouted to kill, the ministers signed a joint letter, and forty-three people, including the marquis 2,000 stone ministers (Dou Bao), signed, demanding that Emperor Wen of Han punish the king of Huainan according to law and put him to death. Emperor Wen of Han did not kill.
Emperor Wen of Han had the truth of Emperor Wen of Han, and Renjun killed his brother, after all, he could not do it. He could only be put under house arrest, and he was allowed to go with his beautiful wives and concubines (ten), and he was provided with five catties of meat and two buckets of wine every day.
It's simply seclusion.
Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, did not want to live this kind of life, saying that the eldest husband was born in the world, and he could live this kind of comfortable life. Hunger strike and death.
After his death, Emperor Wen of Han was furious and sent the county officials who had been escorted to the place of captivity by the King of Huainan to death.
Later, he gave the king of Huainan a nickname: calendar.
Therefore, history calls the King of Huainan the King of Huainan.
According to the Law of Deception, killing is known for no reason.
However, Emperor Wen of Han's problem also began at the moment of the death of King Huainan.
