Yuan ang said that today, only by killing the prime minister Zhang Cang and the censor doctor Yi (whose surname is unknown), can we apologize to the world!
[at this time, Yuan ang was not so old]
Liu Heng hesitated for a moment and said, "it's not right to kill the prime minister and the censor doctor."? Or let them find out the counties where the prison cars passed, and all the officials who did not provide food for the king of Huainan were executed.
Who is the king of Huainan mentioned by Liu Heng and Yuan Ang? How did you die? Why are you in the van? Why do you want to execute the county officials? We have to start with Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.
In the winter of 199 B.C., Liu Bang led his army through the state of Zhao from Dongyuan (Zhengding County, Hebei Province). His son-in-law, Zhang Ao, king of Zhao, entertained his father-in-law to the highest standard. After drinking and eating delicious food, he presented a beautiful woman. That night, the beauty sleeps. After Liu Bang leaves, the beauty finds that she is pregnant and tells Zhang Ao. Of course, Zhang Ao knew the dragon's interests. He did not dare to put the beauty in the palace. He built a palace for her outside the palace. The beauty was called Zhao Ji. In December 198b. C. (October is the beginning of the year), Guan Gao, the Prime Minister of Zhang Ao, and others assassinated Liu Bang. Guan Gao and Zhang Ao were all arrested (for details, please refer to my article "Liu Bang clean up the king of different surnames, first take his son-in-law!", Zhao Ji was also imprisoned in Hanoi (Wuzhi County, Henan Province). Zhao Ji's younger brother, Zhao Jian, asks Marquis Biyang to intercede with empress Lv. Empress Lv is jealous and refuses to speak for her. Zhao Ji had already given birth to a son. Feeling resentful, she committed suicide. The officials gave his son to Liu Bang, named him Liu Chang, and ordered empress Lu to adopt him and bury his mother in Zhending. After the rebellion of King yingbu of Huainan, Liu Bang made Liu Chang king of Huainan.
[this image temperament is quite similar]
Liu Chang was brought up by Empress Lu, so he was very close to empress Lu. When he grew up, Liu Chang knew his life experience and didn't dare to resent empress Lu. He threw all his anger on Shen Shiqi. He thought that the reason why his biological mother died with hatred was that Shen Shiqi didn't fight against empress Lu.
After Liu Heng ascended the throne, Liu Chang relied on the fact that the emperor was his own elder brother, proud and arrogant, and repeatedly violated the law and discipline. However, Liu Heng was always lenient and not investigated. In 177 B.C., Liu Chang entered the court from Huainan, followed Liu Heng to hunt, and rode with Liu Heng in the same car, not called "Your Majesty" or "big brother". Liu Changli was so powerful that he could lift the tripod with his bare hands (according to historical records, those who said he could lift the tripod died suddenly in Bacheng. Zhou of the Shang Dynasty and King Wu of the Qin Dynasty are now Liu Chang).
[it's also strange that most of the people who can lift the tripod have no good end]
Liu Chang went to see Shen Shiqi. There was a big iron vertebra hidden in his sleeve. When he saw the old Shen, he smashed one vertebra without saying a word. Then he cut off his head and flew to the palace. He bared his upper body and pleaded with Liu Heng, saying, "brother, my mother-in-law shouldn't have been implicated by Guan Gao. Shen Shiqi didn't fight in front of Gao Hou. This is his first crime."; Mrs. Qi and Liu Ruyi, the king of Zhao, were not guilty. Empress Lu killed both of them and tried not to persuade them. This is his second crime; Empress Gao became the king of the Lu family, which threatened our Liu family. She did not try her best to admonish him. This is his third crime. Today, I'm killing this evil thief for the world. At the same time, I'm taking revenge for my mother. I'm willing to obey the law. Please punish me.
Yi zele said: when we spoke about Lu, we said that eating the food is the favorite of Lu Hou, the Prime Minister of the left, and the superior Minister of the right side. But because of his relationship with Lu, the affairs of the central and Western authorities has the final say of Chen Ping. Before empress Lu died, she granted three surnames of Lu as kings for the safety of her family. The military power of Chang'an was also in the hands of Lv. However, it was just the prime minister's position and only gave him a false position as a Taifu. However, it is precisely the LV family who has gained the Royal and military power that is paradoxical in fate. All of them have been killed, and the one who has no right to judge and eat has a leisurely life. This time he was killed by Liu Chang, because Liu Chang was lawless and belonged to an accident, ha ha.
Although the reason for Liu Chang's killing Shi Qi is ridiculous, Liu Heng didn't punish him because of his brotherhood. After the incident, Empress Dowager Bo, as well as the crown prince and ministers were afraid of Liu Chang.
Yi Zilu said: the judge may not be popular, so although he died unjustly, no one came out to vindicate him. Judging from Liu Heng's treatment of Liu Chang, we must realize that the unrestricted imperial power, no matter who the emperor is, has its limitations and will certainly do something unfair and unfair. The difference is nothing more than the difference between bad, too much and a little too much.
In addition, when Liu Chang's behavior made the Empress Dowager and the crown prince fear, the balance of fate gradually became unbalanced.
After killing the Marquis of Biyang, the emperor's elder brother didn't do anything about him. After returning to the country, Liu Chang became more arrogant and reckless. Every time he went out, he followed the emperor's guard specifications, and all the systems were in accordance with the emperor's standards. Yuan ang advised Liu Heng to say, emperor, princes and kings are too proud, which may bring disaster. Liu Heng ignored.
In the first 174 years, Liu set up his own decree to expel officials appointed by the imperial court in Huainan state, and asked him to appoint the prime minister and 2000 Shi (ministerial) officials. Liu Hengyu approved the system (in the early Western Han Dynasty, the prime minister, the Secretary General of the internal history, and the lieutenant general of Chang'an Police Reserve Area) were all 2000 stones, dispatched by the central government, and the following officials, the prince can be appointed).
Liu Chang also killed innocent people without authorization, and granted a private crown to the highest level (no Marquis of the capital), and many times he wrote to the court. Liu Heng was angry, and asked Uncle Bo Zhao to write to Liu for advice.
Liu Chang, after receiving a letter from Bo Zhao, was furious, and he conspired with more than 70 officials (state officials) but (unknown name), Shi Wu (prison officer), and Chaiqi, Prince of the Marquis of zipu (founder of the state, who killed Liu Xingju, one of the first eighteen Princes), prepared to launch a raid in gukou (northeast of Liquan County, Shaanxi Province), and sent out envoys, To contact the Minyue and Huns.
The matter is exposed, and the competent authority asks for legal action. Liu hengzhao Liu to Beijing. Liu Chang should be sentenced to death after he arrived in Chang'an after trial.
Liu changmou is very strange
Yi Shifu said: Liu Chang's action is very strange. To take 40 chariots, it should not be a counter-operation, maybe he has mastered Liu Heng's travel plan and intends to assassinate. Among the participants, Chaiqi was executed. Chaiwu, the father of Chaiqi, died only in 163 years ago, without being involved by his son. It is also a strange thing. In short, the plot or assassination is very strange.
The investigation and treatment of Liu Chang case is also very interesting. After the trial, the prime minister Zhang Cang, Dian Ke (the reception director of foreign officials and people, one of the nine Qing) Feng Jing, acting as the imperial official, Zongzheng (the Minister of Royal Affairs) Yi (surname unknown), Tingwei (attorney general) he (unknown surname), and preparing for the joint opening of the robber Lieutenant (should be the security officer in the imperial palace or the commander protecting the daily security of the emperor, whose surname is unknown) Fu and so on, The last sentence is "minister wait for the crime of death" and then count Liu Chang's bad deeds.
The original is a long time, and lists the concrete crimes of Liu Chang who is lawless and lawless, and we will not quote it. It is important to note that the petitioner of this memorial is of high rank and wide scope. The prime minister, the official, the official, the imperial historian, Zongzheng and the Minister of justice have all been assigned the names, even the lieutenant who prepared the robbers. It is indicated that not only the high attention is paid to it at all levels, but also the safety of the emperor. The trial object is the only living brother of the emperor, which is not very much, Disaster can kill the door! Therefore, I am afraid that the trial of this case is quite rigorous.
Liu Heng indicated that I can not bear to punish Huainan king according to law, and then I will give them to the princes and 2000 stone officials for consultation.
Yi Shifu said: Liu Heng is obviously dissatisfied with the ruling, and clearly tells the elder brothers and children that I don't want to judge according to law. You will discuss with the officials of liehou and 2000 stone.
The brothers and ministers, who once again "set out for the crime of risking death", had discussed with the princes and the officials of 2000 stone officials (unknown surname), and they agreed that Liu should be punished according to law.
The clothes give performance said: according to law sanctions, is to sentence Liu Chang death. Why are ministers like this? Remember Liu Bang asked Chen Ping and Zhoubo to kill his relatives and take on fan fan fan fan? Chen Ping said to Zhou Bo, I will go alone. Fan can't kill fan fan. After the death of the emperor, Lu Hou sisters must not kill our old lives! Here, it is the reverse, must make Liu Changsheng dead. If he does not kill him, wait for Liu Heng one day to be happy, and then give Liu Chang to restore the Lord Wang. These people who have tried him are examples! Therefore, knowing that Liu Heng was unwilling, all the participants in the discussion unanimously demanded that Liu should be executed.
Liu Heng helpless, criticism, I can not bear to punish Huainan king according to law, forgive his death, and discard his throne.
The clothes give the resume said: Liu Heng has returned to the country. The ministers are reluctant to give up. If the emperor doesn't kill him, we will exile him for thousands of miles, so that he can't come back and harm people.
Brothers and children "the crime of death" began, Liu long guilty of the crime of great death, his majesty can not bear to punish according to law, mercy pardon, abolish his throne. The minister and others requested Liu Chang to send Liu to Qionglai mountain (daxianling, southwest of Yingjing County, Qionglai, Yingjing County) post station in Yan Road (Yingjing County, Sichuan Province). The concubines were required to live together with the children, and the county department built houses for them to provide food and living supplies. Then, brothers and several came to "minister wait for the crime of death request", to tell the world!
Yi Shifu said: through several exchanges one time, I deeply feel the uneasiness of my subjects, which is simply "the father is not dead, Lu is not dead". On the surface, it is presented with a memorial and an official memorial. In fact, it determines the lives of countless people in the future. In order to prevent Liu Heng from restoring Liu's Lord Wang, the ministers actually let Liu Heng announce Liu Chang's bad deeds all over the world! Do readers realize the murderous spirit in it?
Liu Heng, this gas ah, said, please supply Liu Chang daily meat five Jin, wine two fights. Ten concubines who had been blessed in the past were ordered to live with them in Shu county. All the others are right.
After that, all the people who conspired against Liu were executed. Liu Chang was placed in a sealed cell, and Wendi ordered the counties along the way to transmit them in turn. Yuan ang admonished that the emperor had been proud of Huainan king, and did not provide him with strict and upright Taifu and prime minister, so it developed to this extent. Huainan king is strong and strong. Now he is so suddenly destroyed and tortured. I am afraid that he will die from the sudden illness of Fenglu. His majesty will have the name of killing his brother. What can I do?
As a result, this Huainan King Liu Chang died of hunger strike. The van was sent to Yong county (Fengxiang County, Shaanxi Province) in turn. The magistrate of Yong County opened the closed van and found the body, which was reported according to the facts.
After receiving the news of Liu Chang's death, Emperor Wen Liu Heng felt sad. This is the scene at the beginning of this article. Yuan ang suggested killing the prime minister and the imperial historian to thank the world.
Liu Heng ordered the prime minister and the censor doctor to arrest the county officials along the way, interrogate which officials did not open the door or deliver food, and all of them were executed. Liu Chang'an was buried in Yong county with Marquis's etiquette, and 30 families were set up to guard the tomb.
Yi Zilu said: with the death of Liu Chang's hunger strike, the possible bloodbath has been resolved, and the ministers can be relieved. Liu Heng is a benevolent king, although his "benevolence" to his younger brother Liu Chang is his "inhumanity" to others. On the one hand, I want to explain the life and death contest between the ministers and Liu Chang. On the other hand, I want to think of a question: where is the difference between imperial power and Prime Minister power? Liu Bang, a British leader of a generation, seems to have the upper hand of imperial power between him and his ministers, but the prime minister's power is also there. It's not everything Liu Bang says, such as replacing the crown prince. When he came to Emperor Wen, Liu Heng might have a more generous personality and the prime minister's power rebounded to some extent. When dealing with the problem of Liu Chang, Liu Heng gave way again and again, and finally his younger brother died on hunger strike. That's why yuan ang said that he would kill the Prime Minister and the imperial historian to thank the world. Emperor Wen couldn't bear it after all. That's the end of it. However, Rao is Liu Heng's benevolence. For the sake of his awesome brother, Liu Heng has killed a lot of people! No matter who is in charge of power, if it is not restricted, it will do something extraordinary.
Later, we will see how the struggle between imperial power and Prime Minister power will evolve, and whether we can create a relatively stable power structure through institutional choice.
