The storm of the early Han Dynasty: Pingying Bu Liu Bang re-appointed the king, and Xiao He destroyed his reputation in order to avoid disaster
It is said that Emperor Gaozu arrived in Huainan and connected two good news. One was that King Wu Chen of Changsha sent someone to present Ying Bu's head. Emperor Gaozu found that the verification was true, issued an edict to praise the merits, and handed over it to the envoy to bring it back. First, the Jieyin came from Zhou Bo, who pursued Chen Xi. When the city destroyed Chen Xi's troops and stabbed Chen Xi to death. Now all the county has been pacified, as well as the places in Yanmen and Yunzhong, waiting for the imperial decree to be seized. Emperor Gaozu re-electioned and ordered Zhou Bo to call him to the army. Huainan has been granted the title of his son Liu Chang, and the King of Chu returned to the original town. After King of Jing Liu Jia died, he had no children. He specially changed Jing land to Wu and made Liu Bi, the son of his brother Liu Zhong, the King of Wu. Liu Bi was originally a twentieth prince in Pei Hou and was extremely powerful. This time, Emperor Gaozu attacked Yingbu, Liu Bi also followed him, and was pioneered in the battle and killed many enemies. Because the land of Wu was so fierce that Emperor Gaozu had to use the Zhuang King to guard it so that there would be no trouble, so he specially appointed Liu Bi as the King of Wu. Liu Bi was ordered to thank him. Emperor Gaozu looked at him carefully and saw that he was fierce and murderous intent, and he couldn't help but regret it. Then he said to Liu Bi sadly, "You have a rebellious situation, what can you do?" He did not take back his fate after saying this. Liu Bi was secretly shocked and fell down on the spot. Emperor Gaozu stroked Liu Bi's hand and said, "In the fifty years after the Han Dynasty, there was chaos in the southeast. Could it be that it should be with you? You should remember that the same surname is the same, be careful not to rebel, remember! Remember!" Since he knew that Liu Bi had a rebellion, why didn't he take back his fate? And how did Emperor Gaozu predict the chaos in fifty years later? Liu Bi said he didn't dare to do so, so Emperor Gaozu ordered him to get up and asked him to withdraw after several words. Subsequently, the children were enfeoffed to eight countries: Qi, Chu, Dai, Wu, Zhao, Liang, Huaiyang and Huainan. Except for King Liu Jiao of Chu and King Liu Bi of Wu, the rest were all parents and children of Emperor Gaozu. Emperor Gaozu thought that his relatives should have no different ambitions, but King Liu Bi of Wu had already revealed his rebellion. He also said that he was just like a son and had no need to worry too much. Who knew that he would become an unexpected person later?
God of the Han Dynasty set off from Huainan and traveled eastward to Lu. He sent his subordinates to prepare for Tailao to worship Confucius. After the sacrifice, he returned to the road and traveled west. On the way, the arrow relapsed, and hurriedly entered the pass, and returned to Changle Palace, lying for several days. Qi Ji served on the side early and evening. Seeing that Emperor Gaozu was moaning constantly, she was particularly worried. She immediately glanced at him and asked again to protect the lives of the mother and son. Emperor Gaozu thought to himself that only the only way to abolish the crown prince could protect him and his mother and son, so he reiterated the old matter and decided to abolish it. Zhang Liang was unable to sit idly by as the young tutor of the crown prince, so he first introduced his advice and said many words, but Emperor Gaozu just ignored it. Zhang Liang thought that he would often follow his advice, but he did not follow each other this time, and it was difficult to talk about it again. It would be better to retreat. He left the door and thanked the guests for several days, but he couldn't come out of his illness. At that time, the prince's grand tutor Shusun Tong came into the palace and advised: "In the past, Duke Xian of Jin favored Li Ji and deposed Prince Shensheng. The Jin State was in chaos for decades. Qin Shihuang did not establish Fusu early, and he was killed and sacrificed, especially by Your Majesty. Now the prince is kind and filial, and the world has heard that Empress Lü and Your Majesty have suffered hardships and gave birth to only one prince. How can he betray it for no reason? Your Majesty must be deposed by his eldest son. I would rather die first, so I sprinkle the blood of the neck." As he said that, he drew out his sword and wanted to commit suicide. Gaozu hurriedly shook his hand and told him not to commit suicide. He said to him, "I just made a joke, why do you think it is true love? I came to give advice. Fortunately, don't misunderstand this!" Shusun Tong put down his sword and replied, "The crown prince is the foundation of the world. When the fundamental shakes, the world is shaken. How can the world be regarded as a joke?" Gaozu said, "I listen to your words, it's not easy for the crown prince!" Shusun Tong then retreated. Since then, many ministers from both inside and outside also wrote letters to fight, which made Emperor Gaozu's dilemma. It was not convenient to go against the will of others, and it was difficult to resist his beloved concubine, so he had to delay the past and make a picture later.
After the sores were cured, I placed them in the palace and specially summoned the prince Liu Ying to serve as a banquet. The crown prince Liu Ying was summoned to the palace, and the four old men went in together. After the crown prince gave the ceremony, they all came forward to pay homage. Emperor Gaozu saw that Tong was ashamed and looked ashamed, and was very surprised, so he consulted the prince and said, "Who are these four elders?" Before the prince answered, the four elders had already described their names. Emperor Gaozu said in surprise, "Are you the Four Elders of Shangshan? I have been reading for several years, but you have avoided me. Why are you here? Follow my son to march here?" The Four Elders said in unison: "Your Majesty is gentle and good at scolding, but I am not humiliated, so I will not come against my orders. Now I heard that the crown prince is kind and filial, respectful and loving, and the whole world is willing to die for the crown prince. I am concerned about public opinion, so I come to follow the crown prince and respectfully."Gaozu said slowly, "When you are willing to come and assist me, what else do you have to say? Fortunately, you will always protect yourself and will not lose your morality. "The four elders obeyed the orders and blessed the cups in turn. Emperor Gaozu reluctantly received the drinks, and asked the four elders to sit down together to drink several bowls. After about one or two hours, Emperor Gaozu always felt that he was not happy and ordered the prince to retreat. The prince got up, and the four elders also got up. He followed the prince and came out. Emperor Gaozu urgently summoned the four elders to come forward and instructed the four elders, and sighed to the four elders and said to Emperor Qi: "I originally wanted to change the crown prince, but Peter and the four others were supplemented, and the wings were already formed, so it was difficult to move again. "Ji Qi immediately burst into tears when she heard this. Gaozu said, "Why do you have to be sad? You must know that life is destined to be just right. You can do Chu dance for me, and I will write Chu songs for you. "Ji Qi was helpless and floated her green sleeves in front of the table and danced lightly. Emperor Gaozu thought for a moment, and the lyrics were ready, then he sang loudly: "The swan flies high, and takes a thousand miles in one fell swoop. The wings have been settled and they are bounded across the world. If you are far away from all over the world, what can you do! Even if there is a deposit, it is still safe to provide it. "
After the song, he sang again and counted four times, and the tone was sad. Qi Ji was originally acquainted with the words, and he felt more sad when he listened to the meaning, so he felt more sad from it, so he covered his face and cried like rain. Emperor Gaozu had no intention of drinking again, and ordered the food to be removed and brought him into the house. It was nothing more than a polite and gentle speech, but the issue of deposing the crown prince was put on hold and no longer talked about it.
At this time, Xiao He had already promoted the prime minister and granted more than 5,000 households. Emperor Gaozu's intention was that Xiao He planned to kill Han Xin, so he added the title. The staff congratulated Xiao He, the former Hou Zhaoping of Dongling of Qin, went to pay condolences. Zhao Ping was deposed since Qin's death and planted melons in Chang'an. The taste was sweet and beautiful, and was known as the Dongling melons in the world. Xiao He entered the pass and heard that Zhao Ping had a reputation for his wise men, which attracted the curtain and discussed with him. This time, Zhao Ping was condolent: "The Lord will cause trouble from now on! "Xiao He asked the reason in surprise, and Zhao Ping replied: "The emperor went to war for many years and personally took out arrows and stones, but the public security guards were not removed from the military. Now he has to be granted a fief and named Duke Chong, which is actually a suspicion of Duke. Just imagine that the Duke of Huaiyin Marquis can even kill the barbarians for his achievements in a hundred battles. Can Duke be matched with Duke? "Xiao He said anxiously: "You are so honest, will you come out?" "Zhao Ping said again: "It is better to let the throne not be accepted than to take it. Take out all your private money as military supplies to avoid disaster. "Xiao He pointed his head and praised him for his good deeds. He only received the title of prime minister and returned his fief and his family to assist his army. As a result, he was praised very much. When Emperor Gaozu confronted Yingbu, Xiao He sent someone to transport military rations. Emperor Gaozu repeatedly asked the envoy, saying that the prime minister had done what he had done recently. The envoy replied that he was just saying that he was following the people and taking care of grain and equipment. Emperor Gaozu was silent. When he came to send an envoy to return to Xiao He, Xiao He did not know what Emperor Gaozu intended. Sometimes when he talked to the guest about this matter, a guest suddenly said, "The Duke will soon destroy the clan! "Xiao He was shocked and couldn't even say a question. Ke Fushen said, "He was the prime minister and ranked first in his merits. In addition, he could no longer add any more. The emperor repeatedly asked about what the public did, and was afraid that the public would live in Guanzhong for a long time and would be deeply loved by the people. If he took advantage of the call and was called honorable by the local people, wouldn’t it be difficult for him to return and would he have all his previous efforts? Now that the public does not observe the superior’s intentions, they must serve the people at the same time, which will increase the jealousy of the emperor! The jealousy is getting deeper and the disaster is getting more and more urgent. Why not buy more land and threaten the people to sell it at a low price, so that the people can slander the public slightly. Then the master can only be at peace when he hears it, and the public can also protect the family. "Xiao He followed the guest's words and said that if he had an envoy to go back and forth, he would report to Emperor Gaozu. Emperor Gaozu was indeed relieved. After Huainan was pacified, the capital was still raising tragedy. The people blocked the road and wrote a letter to impeach Xiao He forcibly buying land for the people. Emperor Gaozu didn't care at all and entered the palace safely. After Xiao He repeatedly asked about illness, he showed Xiao He slandered the letter and told him to thank the people himself. Xiao He would make the land price return, or restore the land and house to the owner, and the slander was naturally subsided. After several days, Xiao He submitted a memorial, which made Emperor Gaozu angry and threw the book down and scolded: "The Prime Minister Xiao He thought he was bribed by merchants and dared to come to invite me to the land. Is this good to be considered? "As he said that, he instructed the guards and asked him to arrest Xiao He and hand him over to the court lieutenant. Poor Xiao He always cared about it and prevented him from changing. Unexpectedly, a group of guards came, removed him from his crown, added chains, and handed him over to the court lieutenant, and went to the wrong prison of Hei Shenshen to taste the bitter taste. In ancient times, the punishment was not given to the doctor, and why did Zhao Ping not persuade He to go early to save him from being humiliated? After several days of seclusion, the court officials did not know why they dared to rescue him. Later, they found Xiao He's report to the capital of Chang'an, which was to make more residents and not enough to cultivate the fields. Please let the people enter the slightest land in Shangyuan, so that the people could cultivate beans and millet, and to raise poor gangsters, and to collect the old grass and provide food for animals.This is also a way to help the people. Unexpectedly, Emperor Gaozu suspected that he pleased the people and became suspicious again. He ignored his previous efforts and ordered the treatment! The deep suspicion is everywhere. The ministers all complained about their grievances, but they were still wandering and waiting and saying justice. Fortunately, there was a Wang Weiwei who was unfair to Xiao He, so Shi Si wanted to save him. One day, he saw that Emperor Gaozu was still happy, so he asked Emperor Gaozu, "What serious crimes have been caused to be imprisoned?" Emperor Gaozu said, "I heard that Li Si and Qin had good things to return to the lord, and those who were evil will be borne by themselves. Now the Prime Minister received bribes from others and asked me to release the land of the garden to please charm the people. I am not wrongly accused of him." Wei Wei said, "I heard that the people are enough, but who is not enough? The Prime Minister asked to open the Shangyuan for the sake of the people. This is the position of the priest. Why do you doubt that he has bribed him? Besides, Your Majesty is away from Chu. A few years later, he went to challenge Chen Xi and Ying Bu, and both of them were entrusted to the Prime Minister to stay. If the Prime Minister had different plans, he could sit in Guanzhong with just one move. The Prime Minister was loyal to His Majesty, and sent his children to join the army, and gave private money to help with money, without any self-interest. Is it true that the merchants and bribes now? Moreover, the fall of the former Qin Dynasty was because the emperor did not want to hear about it. Li Si was willing to be slandered, but he was afraid that he would be condemned. What is the law? Your Majesty can't help but look down on the Prime Minister! "He explained Xiao He, and his words were too upright, but he lost his reputation. Emperor Gaozu was refuted by him and felt that he couldn't make sense. After he hesitated for a long time, he sent an envoy to hold his integrity and pardon Xiao He was released from prison. Xiao He is old and has a meridian for several years, which makes his hands and feet sore and numb, and his body is trapped. He has no choice but to turn his feet naked and he is only in a hurry to thank him. Emperor Gaozu said, "The prime minister doesn't have to be too polite! The prime minister petitions for the people, but I refuse to agree. I am just the master of Jie and Zhou. The prime minister has become a virtuous prime minister. I have been a king for several days, so I want the people to know my faults!" Xiao He thanked him and retreated. Since then, he has become more respectful and taciturn.
