Chapter 41 The death of Liu Xuan in the third quarter

The Red Eyebrow Army conquered Chang'an, the capital city, and forced to land on the Genshi Emperor Liu Xuan, so they were full of ambition, thinking that the world would be settled, and the leaders gathered together every day, drinking and competing for merit, making a lot of noise, and when the fight became fierce, they even drew their swords and hacked. . The leader of the Red Eyebrow Army is like this, and his subordinates are even more lawless. They captive officials and people, and the common people are fish and meat, which is even worse than the Green Forest Army. The Chang'an regime changed hands, and the battalion commanders of the Sanfu counties and counties also acted according to the wind, and turned to flatter and show their loyalty to the new regime of the Red Eyebrow Army. Army soldiers snatched everything.After the envoys were robbed, they were all at a loss. This was originally given to you for nothing. Is there a need to rob it?

As everyone knows, for the soldiers of the Red Eyebrow Army, robbing is not a hobby, but has already become a habit of life, and they don't believe that there are people in this world who give them things for nothing.They are used to the weak, and in the world of the weak, they have always been the only ones who give things to others for nothing. Besides, Liu Xuan was named the King of Changsha by the Red Eyebrow Army, under the supervision of Xie Lu, and was mainly engaged in horse herding.Xie Lu treated Liu Xuan quite kindly, and did not deprive Liu Xuan of his personal freedom. Liu Xuan's supporters came to see Liu Xuan, such as old friends and guests, and Xie Lu generally agreed to allow Liu Xuan to meet with him.Liu Xuan's supporters were not reconciled to Liu Xuanzhi's failure, and planned to take the opportunity to hijack Liu Xuan and flee to restore the reformist regime. Their plan was exposed, and they were all thrown into prison by the Red Eyebrow Army.

After the incident, Xie Lu isolated Liu Xuan from then on, prohibiting him from contacting the outside world. Zhang Ang was Liu Xuan's rebel general, and also the person Liu Xuan hated the most.Liu Xuan survived for a day, Zhang Ang did not dare to rest his pillow for a day.Zhang Ang met Xie Lu face to face, and provoked: "Although Liu Xuan's old friends and guests failed to rob Liu Xuan, there are many people who want to rob Liu Xuan. Sanfu counties are dissatisfied with the imperial court, complaining, and want to rescue Liu Xuan , and re-established him as emperor. Liu Xuan is now under your supervision, if Liu Xuan is lost in your hands, how will you explain to the leaders?"

Xie Lu asked: "In Brother Zhang's opinion, what should we do?" Zhang Ang slashed down with his palm, and said: "Rather than defending against the day and night, it's better to settle everything once and for all." At this time Liu Xuan was indeed like a hot potato, he was afraid of being stolen by thieves, and even more afraid of being missed by thieves, so he still killed him.Xie Lu was silent for a long time, then sighed: "I'm afraid that's the only way to go." One day in December this year, Liu Xuan was grazing horses in the pasture outside Chang'an City as usual.The horses were in groups of three or four, grazing leisurely, while Liu Xuan was squatting on the grass wearing a ragged cotton coat, thinking about something.A few months ago, he was the emperor of herdsmen, but now he has transformed into a grass herdsman of horses.In this regard, he didn't feel particularly disappointed. His position of emperor was picked up in the first place, and it would be no pity to lose it. The important thing is that he is still alive, and after he has exhausted his upper breath, he still has his lower breath.

He even fell in love with the simple and ordinary life now. The north wind is cold, the trees are withered, and everything is operating strictly according to the laws of nature. He sticks to the surviving self and feels at ease and secure. A few patrolling soldiers came from a distance, Liu Xuan waved to them, and the soldiers also waved back in a friendly manner, and slowly walked towards him, shaking the ropes in their hands. Liu Xuan suddenly felt bad, so he ran away.The soldiers were not in a hurry, and chased after him unhurriedly. The wide pasture is far beyond the reach of footsteps.Endless emptiness, the more you run, the more desperate you become.

Liu Xuan was tired from running and couldn't move anymore, so he sat down.The soldiers surrounded Liu Xuan and said almost pleadingly: "Go ahead!" Panting, Liu Xuan replied: "I can't run anymore, I won't run anymore." The soldiers fell silent, put the rope around Liu Xuan's neck, and gradually tightened it.The horses stared wide-eyed, watching Liu Xuan kicking and struggling, thinking it was some kind of boring game played by humans, so they buried their heads indifferently and continued to eat their grass. Liu Xuan's struggle didn't last long, and he soon calmed down, falling limply to the ground.The soldiers then tightened the rope for a while, seeing that Liu Xuan was still motionless, they let go of their hands and left silently.

Gengshi Emperor Liu Xuan, who had proclaimed himself emperor for two years and ten months, died like this in the wilderness. The one who was buried with him was the Gengshi regime that was once infinitely close to unifying China. That night, Liu Gong quietly sneaked into the ranch, collected Liu Xuan's body, and buried it secretly.Liu Xiu was very sad when he heard about it. After Deng Yu regained Chang'an, Liu Xiu specially ordered Deng Yu to bury Liu Xuan next to the mausoleum of Emperor Wen of Han with the ceremony of a prince. Liu Xuan left behind three sons—Liu Qiu, Liu Xin and Liu Li.In the second year, the third son and his mother defected to Liu Xiu, tantamount to recognizing Liu Xiu's regime on behalf of their father.Liu Xiu made Liu Qiu the Marquis of Xiangyi, Liu Xin the Marquis of Gu Shu, and Liu Li the Marquis of Shouguang, all of which were handed down to later generations.

Of course, these are not mentioned anymore.
