Zhongshan King Liu Sheng, has more than 120 sons? Among them, why was the prime minister Liu Quyak beheaded by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?

Anyone who has watched Romance of the Three Kingdoms should have heard of the name Liu Sheng . This person is the ancestor of Liu Bei, Western Han Dynasty The most carefree Zhongshan King Jing . Emperor Jingdi of the Han Dynasty During the period, there were many outstanding talents, , but most of these people were able to leave a deep impression on the historical scroll by their ingenuity and martial arts. .

And Liu Sheng took a different approach, not the usual way . Only by virtue of his unrestrained and unrestrained life and his more than 120 sons, he has completely defeated all kinds of heroes who studied hard in the cold window and danced when they heard chickens. However, although there are many sons, there are very few successful ones. The only outstanding Liu Qu, the official to the prime minister, was and ended up being cut in half. What is the reason for this?

1. Liu Sheng's self-satisfaction

Liu Sheng and the famous Han Wudi in history Liu Che are both the sons of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, but the two brothers have two completely different lives: one Climbing to the height of the temple, one person keeps the fief for life. Although Liu Sheng was not the eldest son of Emperor Jing of Han, but because his mother was lucky to be favored by the dragon, Aiwu and Wu were naturally loved by Emperor Jing of Han. He was named King Jing of Zhongshan when he was only eleven years old. .

As we all know, The royal family is a place where power struggles , and the turbulent tide is unimaginable for ordinary people. If there are internal worries, there will inevitably be external aggressions. The vassal kings of the Han Dynasty are divided, and the vassal kings of various places are waiting for the opportunity to move.If you are not careful, you may lose the imperial city. However, under this fierce internal and external troubles, Liu Shengsheng became the only feudal lord who could live his life freely and comfortably in the family of imperial power.

The key to saving Liu Sheng from fire and water, there is only one word, and that is "playing". When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty decided to implement " urging grace " due to the lessons from the previous experience, in order to gradually weaken the separatist forces of the feudal lords, so as to consolidate his dominance, all the feudal lords were trying their best to deal with them. Only Liu Victory doesn't care, continues to be content, even more than in the past .

The so-called "Pushing Grace Order" is to change the primogeniture system to make all sons have the right to inherit , so that the power of the feudal lord will only continue to shrink, and there is no need to usurp power. It's not that Liu Sheng didn't understand this, but in the end he had more than 120 sons alone, making Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty unbearable to let him pass on the fief. From this point of view, Merry and happy is Liu Sheng's wisdom to protect himself and survive in troubled times .

2. Liu Quyak committed suicide

Liu Quyak is the most promising one of Liu Sheng's more than 120 sons, but his descendants are not very impressed with him. The impression is that he was beheaded by Emperor Wu of Han shortly after he became prime minister. What is the reason for this? As far as Liu Quya can be fortunate enough to be the prime minister of the left, is actually more due to luck and the former prime minister Gongsun He "make it happen" .

Gongsun He holds great power as the prime minister,However, instead of caring about the safety of the people, he is dedicated to safeguarding his own interests, arbitrarily increasing taxes and levying hard labor, causing the people to complain and live in poverty. Han Wudi Longyan was furious and ordered Liu Quyak to be the prime minister to investigate the case thoroughly. And Liu Quya had heard of Gongsun He's crime, and his handling of the matter won him a sacred heart.

This was an opportunity to rise to prominence, but the bad thing is that lacks the heart and swallows the elephant , he himself sent himself to the execution ground. In a witchcraft case, Prince Wei was framed and forced to attack. At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was recovering from illness outside the palace. He believed that Prince Wei was conspiring against him, so he ordered Liu Quya to raise an army to arrest him. In the end, Prince Wei committed suicide because of his injustice.
