Chapter 42 4. The death of Liu You

Time is like running water, in the blink of an eye, Liu Gong has been dead for two years.But the sound of time passing is the sound of the storm quietly surging.In the seventh year of Empress Lu (181 B.C.), in the spring and the first month, a massacre swept across the country of Zhao again. The target of Lu Zhi's sword this time was King Liu You of Zhao. Liu Bang had a total of eight sons. In Lu Zhi's view, except for Liu Ying, the other seven children were all born to bitches.Liu You is one of them. Even who the bitch mother is is unknown to the historical records.The only thing we know is that after Lu Zhi poisoned Liu Ruyi, Lu Zhi moved to Huaiyang King and Liu You became Zhao Wang.

Liu Ruyi made a bad start, and Zhao Guo's two successive successors did not end well.This is not only a curse that fate cannot get rid of, but also the inevitable result of Lu Zhi sowing the seeds of revenge. Back then, Lu Zhi's beloved son-in-law Zhang Ao respected Liu Bang as a respecter of ghosts and gods, but Liu Bang scolded Zhang Ao as a slave.Because of this, there was the attempted murder of Guan Gao, which caused Zhang Ao to be cut off from the post of King Zhao.The father's debt is repaid by the son, and the blood debt is repaid.I believe that this is a dangerous thought buried in Lu Zhi's subconscious.

anyway.If it is said that Liu Ruyi was deliberately harmed by Lu Zhi; then Liu You is seeking his own death.If there is an effect, there must be a cause, and things have to start from the beginning.At the beginning, when Lu Zhi named Liu Bang and his sons and grandsons as princes and kings, they were not appointed for free.Whether it's Liu Ying, who died early, or Liu Fei's son, Lu Zhi has implemented a buy-one-get-one-free policy for them without exception. The so-called buy one get one free means that as long as they are crowned kings, they will give them a daughter of the Lu family as a good housekeeper.

Please note that the so-called virtuous housemates are not concubines, but queens or marquis wives.To be the top leader, not a concubine like a mistress.The reason why Lu's pheasant implemented this policy was due to favorable conditions at the right time and place.First of all, the Liu family is rich in dragon sons and grandsons, and the Lu family is rich in phoenix girls and daughters; secondly, Lu Zhi uses his power to buy and sell by force through administrative orders, so that the two families can exchange what they have. Although it is said that Lu Zhi's behavior violated the laws of free market circulation, the advantage of this move is that it will prevent her from using a knife and the Liu family's bloody execution ground.So it can only be said that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, which is understandable.Therefore, under the dominance of Lu Zhi's perverted policy, Liu You was assigned a target of Lu's beloved daughter without exception.However, the cause of Liu You's death was precisely caused by this beloved daughter of the Lu family.

Liu You hated Lu Zhi's monopoly in his heart.In his opinion, I can't stop you Lu Zhi's planned marriage politics, but I may not be able to force you to stay.Ever since, Liu You implemented the policy of "three non-confrontations" to the beloved daughter of the Lu family whom Lu Zhi sent to her door.That is, put it aside without loving it; keep it without using it; let it go without leaving it. The result can be imagined, Lu's beloved daughter can only sit and wait for the vacant room every night, but she never sees Liu You, a bad guy, pleasing her tent.Later, after inquiring, it turned out that the bad heart of my family already belonged to him, and he was singing and singing with another concubine every night, indulging in excess, staying in the house and forgetting to return, I don't know when it will be.

Here comes the problem.The queen mother buys one and gets one free in order to trap you; to trap you is to use you; to use you is to keep you on the same breath as the Central Lu Group.Marriage politics is a business, a sale.If there is gain, there must be loss. There is no consumer like you, Liu You, who is not flattering when you get cheap.If things go on like this, the problem of the Lu family's beloved daughter is probably not only a physical problem, but also a psychological problem. The jealousy may turn into a terrible political disturbance. What I can't get, no one else can get it; you make me depressed, and I will never let you have a good time.I believe this is what Lu's beloved daughter most wants to say to Liu You.

Therefore, Lu's beloved daughter finally held back the resentment in her heart, and returned to Lu's pheasant with a frustrated and injured heart to complain.The long-term depression of staying alone with a vacant house finally made her spit out a vicious slander to Lu Zhi: Liu You, a bad man who killed thousands of swords, said why the Lu family should be crowned king, and when the queen mother dies, We must kill King Lu all the time! When Lu Zhi heard this, his head became hot.Yo, the awesome King Zhao.To give you face, you don't want it, you just want to swell your face to pretend to be fat.It depends on the owner to beat a dog, not to mention that the one you want to kill is King Lu.Well, since you want to eat knives, I'll let you eat as much as you can.

Therefore, Lu Zhi immediately called Liu You into Chang'an City. The time when Lu Zhi called Liu You to Chang'an was, as mentioned above, the first month of spring.In this time period, the time for the princes and kings to worship in October is long past; the time for autumn worship is far behind.For Liu You, there are various indications that this trip to Beijing is more ominous than good, and the future is unpredictable. However, this is an irresistible trip.The north wind blows that way, the horse runs that way, and the heart trembles that way.Along the way, ominous thoughts shrouded the sky where Liu You was walking, like a lingering haze in the sky.

At that time, the princes and kings all set up accommodation and guest houses for receiving guests in Chang'an City.In the words of the time, it was called Di.When Liu You came to Chang'an City, he stayed in Zhao Mansion and met the Queen Mother.Unexpectedly, when Lu Zhi heard that Liu You was coming, instead of letting Liu You go to court, he immediately sent military police to surround Zhao Guo's guest house. Liu You was surprised, and Zhao Wang's followers were also shocked.What on earth is the queen trying to do? Of course you, King Zhao, know what I want to do.Immediately, Lu Zhi ordered Zhao Guo's entourage to be driven out of the guest house, and only Liu You was left alone.At the same time, he ordered Liu You not to give him food or water, but to starve him to death.If there are Zhao officials who dare to send food and water, they will be punished.

If it is said that Lu's pheasant was starving Liu You, it is better to say that Lu's pheasant two thousand years ago was conducting a great scientific experiment.The subject of this scientific experiment is: How long can a normal person live without eating or drinking? Please note that the subject of Lu's pheasant research is normal people.Those who are abnormal, such as people with special functions, are another matter.However, there have always been people who claim to be able to go on a hunger strike for a long time. Most of these people have been proven to be liars, lunatics, or have psychological disorders, or anorexia nervosa.According to modern medical research, the life limit of a person in a state of starvation is at most seven days.Go without food for three days, or drink water for seven days, and you face the threat of death.

Both the West and the East regard death as a serious philosophical proposition.Death is monotonous, it is nothing but the disappearance and reincarnation of life.However, on the way to death, the life forms shown are colorful.As far as the death penalty is concerned, there are beheading, hanging, poison, drowning, burial alive, cooking, and so on.And each penalty is divided into many sub-categories.Just like beheading, it can be divided into beheading and beheading; hanging can be divided into hanging, strangulation, suffocation, and so on. In the face of death, the most exciting thing is not the punishment and instruments of torture, but the various states that human beings show when facing death.There are those who are heroic and righteous, who wipe their necks with swords, and they will be a hero again twenty years later; In addition, there is another kind of desolate death in the world, which is called dying with singing. Liu You is purely in this category.During those few days of enduring hunger, I looked up and saw that the military and police were heavily fortified, making it difficult to fly.Occasionally someone risked his life to bring him a bottle of water or half a steamed bun, but not only was it confiscated by the guards, but he was also thrown into prison to enjoy the death penalty.It is useless to shout to heaven and earth in this situation.There is only one song to express your heart. So, the hungry Liu You let out his throat and sang, saying:
