Chapter 19 dead body

——The slaughter of the royal family after Liu Cong's death Liu Can, courtesy name Shiguang, was "young but brilliant, talented as well as civil and military".But since he framed the death of the emperor's uncle Liu Yi, he has monopolized the power, indulged his feelings, was mean and ungrateful, flourished the palace, and conquered at every turn. After succeeding to the throne, Liu Can moved into the palace, nominally respecting Liu Cong's empresses as empress dowagers, but seeing that these beautiful little stepmothers were all under the age of twenty, swaying their lusts and prostitution day and night, Letting his titular queen mothers take turns sleeping in bed, it doesn't mean that his father just died and his heart is mourning.

Jin Zhun was in power at this time and was trusted by Liu Can.One of his daughters is Empress Liu Cong, the other is Concubine Liu Cong, and the other is Empress Liu Can.Through observation, Jin Zhun knew Liu Canyong very well, and he secretly wanted to usurp him. In order to remove obstacles, he personally persuaded Liu Can: "I heard that the ministers want to follow the story of Yi Yin and Huo Guang, abolish you, the emperor, and make Liu Ji (the other son of Liu Cong), the great Sima, the emperor. I'm afraid disaster will happen in an instant!" At first, Liu Can didn't believe it.

Jin Zhun was fearful, so he went into the palace to meet the daughters of two Empress Dowagers and one Empress Dowager, and said: "The ministers are secretly plotting to abolish the Emperor and make Jinan King Liu Ji the Emperor. If this happens, our Jin family will There will be no one left. You two must take the time to persuade His Majesty to start early." Father's words must be listened to.When the two beauties of the Jin family had a bed war with Liu Can, it was raining with pear blossoms, crying that the clan was about to rebel and their lives were at stake.Liu Can, who was indulging in wine and sex, was extremely soft-hearted, so he immediately sent eunuchs to lead troops to kill Liu Jing, King of Shangluo, Liu Ji, King of Jinan, Liu Li, King of Qi, Liu Kai, Duke of Chang, and Liu Cheng, King of Wu. Clean up.

Maybe he found that all his brothers who threatened his throne had been killed. Liu Can paraded in Shanglinyuan, preparing to launch an army to attack Shi Le, who had always been half-hearted.But the addiction to alcohol and sex couldn't stand the time, and soon they all rushed up. After the military parade, Liu Can rushed back to the harem, and began to feast and have fun in the Donechi Garden all day long. In order to enjoy peace of mind, he appointed Jin Zhun as a general, recorded affairs in the book, and made decisions on all major military affairs.Jin Zhun corrected the edict and appointed his cousin Jin Ming as the general of chariots and Jin Kang as the general of the guard, completely controlling the imperial guards in his own hands.

In September 318 A.D., Jin Zhun, armed with elite soldiers, rushed into the Guangji Hall and ordered the soldiers to arrest Liu Can who was playing group sex in the harem, and "killed him for counting his crimes." It is estimated that Liu Can could not figure out why this flattering General Jin, who was both his grandfather and father-in-law, wanted to kill him when he was dying.Jin Zhunlu is a man of the highest rank, so what is he trying to do? After Liu Can was killed, Jin Zhun ordered: "Men and women of the Liu family, all young and old, will be killed in Dongshi." All the relatives of the Xiongnu surnamed Liu who were massacred in Pingyang were killed, and almost every family was killed.At the same time, Jin Zhun ordered the excavation of the tombs of Liu Yuan and Liu Cong, and made Liu Cong's corpse kneel down on the ground, and cut off the head of the dead emperor with a big knife.Then, Jin Zhun ordered someone to burn down the Liu's ancestral temple with a fire.

In this regard, both the historians at that time and later generations were puzzled.The Liu family was not mean to Jin Zhun, and there was no previous enmity, but Jin Zhun treated him like this. After thinking about it, it can only be attributed to the reincarnation of heaven.Emperor Huai of Jin Dynasty and Emperor Min of Jin Dynasty knew about it, so they should be able to smile happily. Jin Zhun called himself the Great General, King of Han.What is even more strange is that he took out the jade seal captured by Liu Cong from the Jin Dynasty, and said to Hu Song of the Han Dynasty: "Since ancient times, there has been no Hu who has been the emperor, and now I will pay you with the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, and return it to the Jin family." Ignorant, thought that Jin Zhun was trying to test him, and dared not accept it.Jin Zhun was furious, and stabbed Hu Song to the ground with a sword.He sent an envoy to Li Ju, the governor of Sizhou in the Jin Dynasty, and said: "Liu Yuan is a clown who slaughtered all the clowns. Because of the chaos in Jin Dynasty, he pretended to be the Mandate of Heaven and made the two emperors disappear. I want to return the palace of the two emperors. Please hear about it." Emperor Yuan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who proclaimed himself emperor far away in Jiangdong, received the letter. Although he was puzzled, he hurriedly sent Taichang Han Yin and others to welcome the coffins of Emperor Huai and Min and return them to Jin soil for burial.

Seeing that most of the Liu family of the Xiongnu were killed, and the world was in chaos, Shi Le, the general of the Han Dynasty and a member of the Jie tribe who had been coveting the Han Dynasty for self-reliance, immediately dispatched 50,000 elite troops to conquer Jin Zhun himself under the banner of revitalizing the Han Dynasty. Da Sima and Xiangguo Liu Yao (Liu Cong's younger brother) stationed in Chang'an also led his troops to the disaster.
