Chapter 55 3. Examine the death of food

Zhou Bo is still a good fortune teller, but he was repaired a bit, and finally gained a lot of political experience, so he did not go to jail in vain.However, the following person is indeed a bit aggrieved.This person is Lu's pheasant's lover, and the former prime minister of the left side judged him. How to evaluate Shen Shiqi, I think "Historical Records" and "Hanshu" have a fair argument.Go through these two history books, and you will find that both Sima Qian and Ban Gu were reluctant to write a biography for Shen Shiqi, but his influence seems to be looming in it.To sum up Shen Shiqi's life in one sentence, he is neither a good person nor a bad person, but he is definitely an influential person.

We have learned before that Shen Shiqi made his fortune by being Lu Zhi's lover until he climbed to the position of prime minister.Similarly, he was thrown from the position of prime minister because of Lu Zhi.It is true that Lu's pheasant is successful, and Lu's pheasant is also defeated.Because of currying favor with Lu Zhi, two people wanted to kill him.One is Liu Ying, the second emperor, and the other is Liu Chang, king of Huainan.The former did not succeed, but fell under the sword of the latter. Let me first talk about why Liu Ying wanted to kill him.We know that Liu Ying was a good boy when he was young; when he became emperor, he was also a good emperor.Of course, a good emperor does not mean a good emperor.When Liu Ying was a good emperor, someone once told him: I heard that Hou Shen Shiqi of Piyang had an affair with your mother, Empress Dowager Lu!

When Liu Ying heard this, her heart was like a thunderbolt.I only heard that it is grandiose for the emperor to cuckold the empress, but I have never heard that it is upright for the empress to cuckold the emperor.So, in a rage, Liu Ying immediately sent someone to throw Shen Shiqi into prison, ready to be executed. What's more terrible is that not only Liu Ying rushed to kill Shen Shiqi, but also the ministers of the Han Dynasty shouted to kill him.As a result, Lu Zhi, who was ashamed and ashamed, wanted to save Shen Shiqi, but he couldn't, so he had to cry helplessly and prepared to send his lover to the funeral.However, just when Liu Ying was about to start and fall, the savior who tried to eat him appeared.

There were a total of two people who kept Shen Shiqi's head, one was Lu Jia, and the other was Zhu Jian, who was bestowed the title of Lord Pingyuan by Gao Zu. Zhu Jian, a native of Chu.He is eloquent in arguing for others, Ke Lian is upright, he does not agree with others, and does not tolerate righteousness.When Shen Shiqi was favored by Lu Zhi, he wanted to win over Zhu Jian.But Zhu Jian's attitude is very stubborn and resolute: You walk your Yangguan way, I will walk my single-plank bridge. Zhu Jian is a poor man with no official title and nothing but fame.In this world, it has always been easy for the rich to marry the poor, but difficult for the poor to marry the rich.I didn't expect that a rich man like Shen Shiqi made friends with a small poor man, and got a bad nose.There is no other way, some good people, if they really have a bad temper, there is nothing wrong with it.

Therefore, Shen Shiqi had no choice but to temporarily give up his desire to make friends with Zhu Jian.At this moment, Lu Jia, the greatest peacemaker of the Han Dynasty, appeared. We have to say that it is not without reason why Lu Jia can go and eat wherever he goes.Because, his biggest characteristic is that he always makes appropriate moves when others encounter difficult problems.Zhou Bo and Chen Ping have never had a good time since the war between Chu and Han, and they were still pushed together by him. In the end, they not only saved their lives, but also saved Liu's family. Lu Jia has friends all over the court and the public, and Zhu Jian is one of them.At that time, Zhu Jian's mother had just passed away, and Lu Jia came to offer his condolences.At this time, Zhu Jian told Lu Jia that his family had no money and was going to borrow money to bury his mother.After hearing this, Lu Jia patted Zhu Jian's shoulder heavily and said, "If I'm here, you can take care of your funeral. As for the money, I'll figure it out for you."

Please note that it is for you to find a way, not to pay.This is where Lu Jia's diplomatic talent lies, even if he has no money in his pocket, he can get things done.So how did he figure it out?He was the first to run to tell Shen Shiqi: Mr. Pingyuan's mother died, congratulations! Lu Jia's trick made Shen Shiqi confused.Mr. Pingyuan usually doesn't give a shit about me, so his mother's death is none of my business?At this time, Lu Jia smiled and said to Shen Shiqi: I heard that you failed to make friends with Mr. Pingyuan before. At that time, Mr. Pingyuan was unable to associate with you because he had an old mother at home; now that his old mother is gone, as long as you Sincerely pay a lot of money for his funeral, he will definitely work hard for you in the future!

Shen Shiqi suddenly realized and took it for granted.Sure enough, he took the initiative to give Zhu Jian a hundred gold funeral money, and after hearing about it, the followers who tried to eat him also went to Zhu Jian and gave a lot of gold.As a result, Shen Shiqi won Zhu Jian, and Zhu Jian also solved the urgent need; but only Lu Jia, who flattered both sides, won two favors. This is the source of the charm of Lu Jia's ability to roam around the government and the opposition with just two legs and one mouth! I usually burn more incense to let the Buddha bless me when something goes wrong.After Shen Shiqi was put in prison, the first thing that came to mind was Zhu Jian.However, Zhu Jian told the interrogator: Your current case has not been settled, please don't come to see me!

Zhu Jian's words made Shen Shiqi's heart go cold all of a sudden.Damn it, is it possible that blindly misjudged the wrong person and made this friend in vain? Of course it didn't work that way.In fact, when Shen Shiqi was squatting in the prison, Zhu Jian was quietly acting.To hit a snake, you have to hit seven inches!All over the court, except for Lu Jia and Zhu Jian, almost no one wanted to add insult to injury to Shen Shiqi.Therefore, if Zhu Jian wanted to talk to Chen Ping and others, then Shen Shiqi would only die faster. Fortunately, Zhu Jian hit seven inches of the snake.This Qicun is not Liu Ying herself, but Hong Jiru, the pet servant beside Liu Ying.Zhu Jian begged to see Hong Jiru, and opened the skylight to him and said:

You, Hong Jiru, are popular around the emperor, and everyone on earth knows this.Everyone in the world knows that Shen Shiqi is the Queen Mother Lu's celebrity.The problem now is that the emperor killed Empress Dowager Lu's celebrity today, and tomorrow it will definitely be Queen Lu's turn to kill you, the emperor's celebrity!However, if you are willing to rescue Shen Shiqi, I believe Empress Dowager Lu will be very happy and let you go.From this point of view, both of you will get rich separately without hurting each other. Isn't this a good deal? Similarly, Zhu Jian's words also made Hong Jiru take a cold bath to cool his whole body.In the end, Hong Jiru had no choice but to follow Zhu Jian's strategy and speak kindly to Liu Ying.In the end, Shen Shiqi escaped a catastrophe and was successfully released from prison.When Shen Shiqi walked out of the death row and breathed the fresh air of the outside world, Lu Jia told him: Zhu Jianbo took your life!At this time, there is only one sentence to describe the mood at the moment of judging Qishi: Zhu Jian is indeed a righteous man!Good man!

But for Shen Shiqi, surviving a catastrophe may not necessarily bring good fortune.The real catastrophe is yet to come. Everyone knows that Shen Shiqi is simply a melon on the vine of the Lu family's power.However, when Zhou Bo and Chen Ping joined forces with the Liu clan to wipe out the Lu clan's power, he was only dismissed from the position of prime minister and did not lose his life. This is simply a great miracle.In fact, Shen Shiqi was able to escape the second catastrophe because of the help of Lu Jia and Zhu Jian. Common people say that there are only three good things.Indeed, after the fall of Lu's power, the road leading to the unknown is vast and ignorant.Life and death, honor and disgrace, are no longer entirely in his hands.As the saying goes, if you escape the first day of junior high school, you will never be able to escape the fifteenth day.Doom has finally arrived!

The person who was determined to kill Shen Shiqi was Liu Bang's youngest son, Huainan King Liu Chang. It didn't take a day or two for Liu Changhen to judge Shi Qi, and when this hatred was investigated, it was a past event of gnashing of teeth.Back then, Zhao Wang and Zhang Ao presented a beautiful woman to Liu Bangjin, and soon, this beauty gave birth to a child for Liu Bang.The good times didn't last long, because Liu Bang repeatedly humiliated Zhang Ao, which provoked Zhao Xiangguan to fight against the injustice.As a result, Guan Gao failed in his assassination, and instead implicated King Zhao.Therefore, Liu Bang became furious and arrested all the courtiers and concubines around King Zhao. At that time, this beautiful woman who was pregnant with Liu Bang's dragon seed was also taken into prison by Liu Bang.Zhao Jian, the younger brother of the beauty, wanted to tell Lu Zhi through the examination of Shiqi, which probably meant that the child in the sister's belly was Liu Bang's dragon species, please hold up your hands and let her suffer.The result is conceivable. After Lu Zhi heard the news, he was so jealous that he wanted to step on others before it was too late. How could he be willing to pass this matter on to Liu Bang? In the end, the beauty had no choice but to endure the shame and give birth to the child in prison, and then committed suicide with hatred.The prison officials learned of this and presented the child to Liu Bang. Liu Bang regretted it so much that he accepted the child and named him Liu Chang.At the same time, Liu Chang was handed over to Lu Zhi to be raised. Liu Changyi was born as a reform-through-labour prisoner.This painful memory taught him how to forget and erase.Although Liu Chang grew up with Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi was merciful and saved his life.However, Liu Chang, who has grown up, still can't stop hating Lu Zhi, and even more hates Shen Shiqi.He believed that this trial must have failed to convince Lu Zhi that the beauty's mother committed suicide. Yes, this is a blood debt that must be repaid sooner or later! Liu Chang looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally hoped for today, the time to do it. Of course, with the downfall of the Lu family, there is no support for Shen Shiqi.However, Liu Chang also considered that two good men like Lu Jia and Zhu Jian would definitely help him temporarily and ruin his good deeds.Then, if you stop them from making a move, the only way is to kill first and play later! What a way to kill! In the third year of Emperor Wen (177 BC), April and summer.Liu Chang went to Chang'an for a pilgrimage, accompanied Liu Heng to hunt, and the two ate together in the same car.At the same time, Liu Chang also called Liu Heng his eldest brother.No one thought that the reason why Liu Chang wooed Liu Heng so much was just a ploy to win pardon after the murder. After hunting, Liu Chang and a group of people asked to see Shen Shiqi.It is necessary to explain, according to Mr. Sima Qian, Liu Chang is brave and talented, capable of carrying a tripod.For such a mighty person, if he wanted to kill a person who was from a family background, it would be like killing a chicken with a knife.However, the frightening thing is that Shen Shiqi doesn't know that death is coming! When Shen Shiqi appeared in front of Liu Chang, without further ado, Liu Chang pulled out an iron vertebra from his sleeve and slammed it at him, killing him with one vertebra!After crushing Jushi to death, Liu Chang ordered someone to cut off his head, rushed to the palace in a hurry, stripped off his back, and voluntarily surrendered to Liu Heng to plead guilty. The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people.In the history of the Chinese family, this will always be a piece of bullshit. Liu Chang concluded that the reason why he voluntarily surrendered was not because he was worried that Liu Heng would kill him, but because Liu Heng should not make it so difficult for him to be a good person.What's more, homicide is based on emotion and reason, and it's not too much. The reasons are as follows: At the beginning, my mother should not have been imprisoned by the assassination of Guan Gao, but it was this judge who refused to help her that made my mother commit suicide!This is sin one; When Empress Dowager Lu killed Zhao Wang Liu Ruyi, she still didn't try to protect her after she was tried!This is sin two; Empress Lu Wang Zhulu wanted to kill the Liu family, but he would not argue with him if he was judged!This is sin three! Today, I am doing justice for the heavens, punishing thieves for the world, and avenging my mother, with a clear conscience!I hereby come to plead guilty! What a beautiful wording!Don't forget your self for the public!Reasonable and considerate!Liu Heng had no choice but to pardon him and let Liu Chang return home.Since then, Liu Changwei's reputation has spread far and wide, and his net worth has greatly increased.
