Chapter 49 2. The plan cannot keep up with the changes

Just when Liu An and his son were getting carried away with their complacency, something unexpected happened. The process of things is roughly as follows: First of all, Prince Liu Qian claimed to be the best in the world in swordsmanship, so he looked for people everywhere to compete.He heard that the doctor was good at swordsmanship, so he went to his door. The doctor's name is Lei Bei.It was known to Lei that the prince was eager to win and had a good face, he couldn't beat him, and he would feel bad if he lost, so it's better not to compare.Therefore, Lang Zhonglei was rejected and did not compete with him.But Liu Qian refused, saying that he must compare.Lang Zhonglei had no choice but to find an excuse to say that winning or losing is not a problem, the problem is that the sword is not a chess game.If the tip of the sword does not have eyes and stabs you, the prince, it will not be fun.

Liu Qian still forced Lei Bei, and said, I am willing to admit defeat. Since you can stab me, it means that my swordsmanship is not as good as others, and I have no intention of being responsible.In this way, Lei was forced to drag by Liu Qian, and the two began to compare. Unexpectedly, Lei was really hit by the words, and something happened. The prince's swordsmanship, the thunder quilt has a bottom; the prince's personality, the thunder quilt understands.Just because I know it, I am very careful.Originally, he would play two laps with the prince to have a good time with him, and then give up his sword and admit defeat.I don't know if the prince's swordsmanship is too bad, or Lei Bei is absent-minded. Anyway, the sharp sword has no eyes, so he stabbed Liu Qian with the sword.

Now, Liu Qian became angry.Liu Qianhuo didn't seem to have anything to do with swordsmanship, but because of his bad luck, he was mistakenly hit by thunder.Shame, really shame.An unforgivable embarrassing fire turned to Lei Bei.Now Ray was scared. Lei Bei was no fool, and immediately thought of running away.Just thinking about it, the opportunity came. At that time, Liu Che was recruiting troops across the country to deal with the Xiongnu.Lei felt that the opportunity was not lost, so he took the initiative to sign up.So, he said to Liu An, King of Huainan: I heard that the affairs of the Han Dynasty were very tight. Anyway, I am idle, so it is better to let me join the army to serve the motherland.

However, Liu An laughed as soon as he heard it.He only said three words: disagree. Why disagree?The main reason is that Liu Qian played tricks behind his back.Think about it, Lei was hit by Liu Qian's sword by mistake, and Liu Qian hasn't taken revenge yet.I just want to sneak out after asking for a bargain, so who will play with me in the future?Of course, in addition to that sword vengeance, there is another important factor that cannot be ignored.That is, with Lei Bei's status as a doctor, it is inappropriate for him to leave Huainan Kingdom. The so-called doctor is the follower of the leader.Lei has been following his father for many years, even if he didn't see what Liu An and his son wanted to do, he could smell that they wanted to rebel.In other words, it is absolutely unsafe for the kingdom for such a person who has information about the kingdom to defect to the central government.

Therefore, Liu An issued an order regarding Lei's enlistment into the army: no one will be allowed to leave the kingdom under any excuse in the future. This time, Lei Bei was stupid again.However, he immediately thought of a trick. Lei's trick is not a brilliant one, but it works.According to the art of war, calling away is the best policy.In 124 BC, Lei was first fled to Chang'an and reported Liu Qian.It is too shameful to say that Liu Qian even prevented him from joining the army and serving the country. Lei's word got to Liu Che's ears, Liu Che didn't say anything, and sent two groups of people to arrest him.There are two groups of people, one is Ting Wei, and the other is the local Henan county guard.

Their opinion is that Liu Qian should be taken back to Chang'an first, and then interrogated in another place. The news was immediately sent back to the Huainan Kingdom, and Liu An and the queen were in a mess.Liu An and the queen discussed it all night and came to a common conclusion: once the prince Liu Qian was captured and returned to Chang'an, he would definitely be beaten by meat buns, and he would never return.If the central government really sends people to arrest people, it's better to tear your face and turn against the mother. Therefore, Liu An ordered the kingdom to be on standby at any time, ready to send troops.

However, at this time, a strange thing happened.That is, Liu An waited for more than ten days, but it was so late that the central government sent someone down to ask for someone.Could it be that there is loud thunder in the center and little rain? Of course that is not the case.First, the arrest order was issued by Henan County and spread to Shouchun County.However, the assistant magistrate of Shouchun County (the county magistrate) detained him and did not convey it.That's all, the county magistrate also made a request to the central government, can the prince not be interrogated in another place?

Unexpectedly, Liu Che actually agreed to Shouchun County Chancellor's request to interrogate the prince locally. When Liu An heard the news that the prince could await trial locally, a stone fell in his heart.It can be seen that Liu Che didn't want to embarrass him, but wanted to make big things small and small things into nothing.Since you give me a foot, I will give you an inch.Therefore, Liu An temporarily stood still. Changes are worse than plans.At this moment, someone raised an objection to the prince's request to await trial locally. This person is the Prime Minister of Huainan Kingdom.The Prime Minister of the State believes that the prince's local pending trial is not in compliance with the rules, let alone cautious.Therefore, this prince Liu Qian must be interrogated in another place.Otherwise, Lei was confessed for nothing, and the Central Committee was busy in vain.

Liu An didn't expect that someone carrying a load appeared on the way.After thinking about it, Liu An decided to bow down and plead with the Prime Minister, hoping that the Prime Minister would let the prince go. Letting the prince go is tantamount to letting Liu An go.Letting Liu An go is tantamount to letting Liu Che go.Otherwise, I will be in a hurry, and I, Liu An, will really turn against me. Then I will be bad, you will be bad, and everyone will be bad.So why bother?However, unexpectedly, the prime minister refused Liu An's request. Surprise, really surprise. Not to punish you, I thought I was eating bark.Liu An was angry.However, he did not send troops, nor did he kill anyone. Instead, he prepared a document and reported the prime minister to the central government.However, what made Liu An even more unexpected was that this damn material actually dragged Liu An himself off the cliff.

Liu An's material was sent to the central government, and Liu Che handed it over to Tingwei.Ting Wei acted quickly, and immediately arrested the Huainan Guoxiang to Chang'an for interrogation.In the first trial, a lot of questions were found, and the Prime Minister of the State also added salt and water to the signs that Liu An was preparing to rebel. This is the real thing, you make me have a bad life, and I make your whole family die badly. However, when Liu An was reported by the Prime Minister of the Huainan Kingdom, it was not Liu Che who got excited first, but the officials of the Han Dynasty.These senior officials in the Han Dynasty have always hated the princes and kings who conspired to destroy their jobs.Therefore, they all salivated and sprayed at Liu Che together: No matter what, grab that prodigal son Liu An and interrogate him later.

Liu Che refused. Liu Che calmly comforted them and said: Don't worry.Whether Huainan Wang really has a problem or not cannot be decided by the prime minister.Well, I'll send someone to investigate first.Then, let's reconvene to discuss. However, when the ministers shouted at the court meeting to arrest Liu An, the news had already spread back to the Huainan Kingdom.Who got the information for Liu An?Liu Ling.Liu An didn't raise this precious daughter for nothing, and neither did his money.What is even more worthy of recognition is that there is nothing to say about Liu Ling's skill in intelligence. What now? The fire burned to the eyebrows.At this time, Prince Liu Qian stepped forward.Liu Qian said: The situation is stronger than the people. If the central government dares to arrest people, then we will act first, kill the messenger, and fight against the mother. Liu An agreed to Liu Qian's idea, the queen also agreed, and all the accomplices agreed.So, they took their places and waited for Liu Che to send someone to investigate. Say wait, someone will come. The person in charge of investigating Liu An was the lieutenant of the Han Dynasty.This lieutenant has no surname, only one name is Hong.Let's call him Lieutenant Hong.What surprised Liu An was that Lieutenant Hong was not as arrogant as the gang of ministers at the meeting.On the contrary, the big man envoy was quite kind and polite. What surprised Liu An even more was that when Lieutenant Hong saw him, he bowed his hands and congratulated him again and again.Then, Lieutenant Hong changed his face again, and scolded Lei Bei for not being a thing, causing trouble for King Huainan.Mr. Hong's trick made Liu An stunned for a moment, he really didn't know what kind of wine was in his gourd. Facts have proved that this Lieutenant Hong is really kind and also really polite.He pretended to go around the Huainan Kingdom twice, found a few unimportant people, and asked a few innocuous questions.Then, he went back home to report the situation. Liu An let out a long breath of relief.Judging by the appearance of the central envoy, he was going through the motions.It should be fine.Liu An thought so.It should be fine.Liu Qian also said the same.Maybe, it's really all right.Everyone sighed like this. Liu An and others were fooled. After Lieutenant Hong returned to Chang'an, he reported Liu An's situation to Liu Che.According to Lieutenant Hong's investigation, there was indeed no sign of Liu An's rebellion.However, this is all unimportant.All the ministers and the officials who handled the case had already prepared their teeth and bit Liu An's wound fiercely. Liu An's wound was to prevent Lei from joining the army.So they wrote a letter to Liu Che together, saying: Huainan King prevented Lei from being enlisted in the army, and he refused to obey the order, so he should be beheaded and abandon the market.Your Majesty, please don't be soft-hearted, and don't spoil Liu An, an old fox. Liu Che smiled, and said firmly: No. When the ministers heard this, they continued to attack.They also suggested to Liu Che: Since His Majesty is reluctant to kill King Huainan, at least he must be abolished. Liu Che replied: This is not acceptable. The ministers had no choice but to retreat again, and said: Even if the king is not abolished, a few pieces of land must be cut off as a punishment. This time, Liu Che finally agreed.However, he made a discount.The ministers proposed to cut Liu'an's five counties, but he only approved the cutting of two. After arguing for a long time, these high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty finally did not work in vain.Although only two counties in Liu'an were cut, it was enough.Therefore, Liu Che issued an imperial edict to cut down the land.The person responsible for conveying the imperial decree to Liu An is still Lieutenant Hong. When Lieutenant Hong announced the land cut, Liu An was taken aback when he heard it, and then became angry. From the point of view of Liu An and his son, they have been looking for opportunities to turn against the mother.Therefore, if Liu An does not oppose the central government, it is enough to give the central government face.Now a decree has come down, saying that the central government gave me face and only reduced my two counties.Okay, I didn't expect you to still have this hand.If you are the first grader, don't blame me for the fifteenth grade. So, Liu An and his son decided that no matter what this time, it must be reversed. The fact is that Liu An and his son are planning to turn against each other this time.Because, not only did he move out the military map, but he also uttered harsh words.At the same time, even the emperor's seal and the seals of two thousand stone high officials such as the prime minister had been carved. More importantly, Liu An and his son also managed to get rid of the talents who had always opposed his rebellion.Now, this talent is also ready to support his rebellion.
