Chapter 56 4. Liu Chang, King of Huainan

After Liu Chang killed Shen Shiqi suddenly, he became famous overnight.Not only the Hanchens were afraid of him, but the royal family was afraid of him, and even the Empress Dowager Bo was somewhat afraid of him.Therefore, when Liu Chang returned to Fengguo full of pride, he was proud. Killing the judge and eating it is just a small test, and the things that make him more proud are yet to come.After returning to Fengguo, Liu Chang did the following things: First, Liu Chang formulated and promulgated laws and regulations in Fengguo on his own initiative.The system of the Han Dynasty stipulated that the kingdom had only administrative power and no legislative power, that is, it had no right to enact laws and regulations to seal the country.Liu Chang is called knowingly committing a crime, and itching to beat him.However, when the matter spread to Chang'an, Liu Heng obeyed.

Secondly, Liu Chang expelled the officials sent by the central government, and applied for the appointment of two thousand stone officials at the ministerial level and ministerial level.The system of the Han Dynasty also stipulated that the prime minister and ministerial officials must be appointed by the central government, and the kingdom had no right to interfere at all.However, when Liu Chang's report was passed to the central government, Liu Heng agreed again. This time, Liu Chang's tail almost went up to the sky.With the above two powers in his hands, Liu Chang is almost half an emperor.However, what is even more surprising is yet to come. Liu Chang killed innocent people without authorization and conferred titles.

According to the law of the Han Dynasty, the kingdom has the right to judge prisons, but it has never heard of the right to confer titles.For Liu Heng, it is acceptable to kill a few people indiscriminately; but Liu Chang conferred the title of others without authorization, so he might as well be the emperor, what else does Liu Heng do? This time, Liu Heng really couldn't sit still.This little brother can no longer be pampered like this.However, if Liu Heng really wanted to scold Liu Chang, it would be difficult for him to open his mouth.Therefore, Liu Heng had no choice but to say to his uncle Bo Zhao: Please help me write a letter to persuade the King of Huainan not to do too much.

After Bo Zhao received the task, he immediately wrote a letter to Liu Chang.Of course, Bo Zhao understood Liu Heng's intention.Therefore, Bo Zhao had no choice but to tactfully tell Liu Chang in the book: Liu Xingju is a living case, please take care of yourself and don't follow in his footsteps! It is necessary to explain that before killing the Lu family, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo promised Liu Xingju that as long as Lu Chan and Lu Lu are settled, King Liang and King Zhao will belong to you and the brothers Liu Zhang.However, after the matter was completed, Liu Heng discovered that Liu Xingju and Liu Zhang's effort to kill the Lu family was entirely to help their eldest brother Liu Xiang enter the city and become emperor.Therefore, Liu Heng ignored Chen Ping's promise to Liu Xingju, and only made Liu Xingju a little king of Jibei.

Therefore, Liu Xingju was very dissatisfied with Liu Heng. When the Xiongnu Youxian King invaded Hanbian and Liu Heng went out to fight in person, he rebelled and wanted to wash Chang'an with blood.As a result, Liu Xingju did not rush into Chang'an, but was bloodbathed by soldiers of the Han Dynasty instead. However, in Liu Chang's eyes, Liu Xingju is not a high-end anti-king at all.But Bo Zhao actually wanted to use Liu Xingju to scare Liu Chang, so there are only two words that can describe Liu Chang's mood, that is: anger! These words came from Liu Heng's mouth, and he, Liu Chang, wanted to make a fuss. What kind of thing are you, Bo Zhao?The only person in the world who knows Liu Chang best is Liu Chang himself.Because no one knows, this is a soft-hearted guy.So, Liu Chang made a move that surprised Liu Heng even more: You told me not to imitate Liu Xingju, but I did imitate him, it depends on what you do!

I have seen someone who is not afraid of death, but I have never seen someone who is not afraid of death like this.Sure enough, Liu Chang was really motivated to plot chaos, and called more than 70 key elements to discuss planning a rebellion. If it is said that Liu Chang is rebelling, it is better to say that he wants to get angry.But the strange thing is that in Liu Chang's huge territory, no one persuaded him to stop, but everyone hugged him and died collectively. Therefore, Liu Chang, more than 70 key elements, came up with a plan for him: to use forty chariots to launch a surprise attack at Taniguchi.

Taniguchi is now the northeast of Liquan County, Shaanxi Province.From the map, Taniguchi is close to Chang'an, and these forty chariots are like knives on Chang'an's throat.If it's really desperate, it's out of control.At the same time, Liu Chang also sent envoys to lobby the Huns and the Minyue Kingdom for support or alliance. It seems that Liu Chang actually sang the fake show. Unfortunately, it still happened.In Liu Chang's territory, he didn't cultivate well-informed advisers, but he couldn't stop the mouths of informers.Not long after, someone reported to Chang'an that Liu Chang was about to turn against him!

When Liu Heng heard the news, he was only skeptical.Liu Chang is about to rebel?How is this possible? But rebelling against such a high-level movement is no joke.Didn't Liu Chang rebel? Call him into the city and ask him, don't you know? This is the test of the lowest cost for the rebels.Since Liu Bang, as long as he hears that there is any disturbance in the princes and kings, he will first be called to Beijing for inquiry.If they pretend to be sick, or don't come, most of them have something to do, so they should be ready to fight. However, to the surprise of the ministers in Chang'an who were preparing to fight for the war, Liu Chang did not pretend to be sick, nor did he make any noise. Instead, he came to Beijing to see Liu Heng.

Liu Heng's heart seemed to be comforted a little: what Liu Chang said didn't look like he was preparing to rebel at all! But the fact is that the relevant departments immediately summarized the information collected about Liu Chang's rebellion, and finally found that Liu Chang's rebellion had conclusive evidence.The whole Chang'an was angry.San Gong and others of the Han Dynasty jointly signed a memorial to Liu Heng: Liu Chang's crime should be beheaded and abandoned the market! The matter of the joint performance really made Liu Heng feel difficult.However, there will be results immediately.

Soon, Liu Heng issued an order: pardon Liu Chang's death sentence, revoke the king's title, and exile him to Qionglai mountain post station in Yandao, Shu County.For the rest of the people who participated in the rebellion, let them report to hell! It should be said that Liu Heng's decision was also a wise move.The year Liu Chang wanted to rebel was October of the sixth year of Xiaowen (194 BC). Liu Hengxu was twenty-nine this year, and Liu Changxu was twenty-five.Although Liu Hengcai is three years older than Liu Chang, Liu Chang is the youngest among all the brothers.At the same time, Liu Chang was favored by Lu's pheasant, and he did not experience the bloody storm of Lu's pheasant like Liu Heng and other half-brothers.Therefore, in Liu Heng's view, Liu Chang is still a child who has not grown up.To treat such a child and give him a way out is to give himself a chance.

When Peng Yue tried to rebel, Liu Bang repeatedly called him to inquire.After Peng Yue refused several times, he was captured by surprise. Liu Bang's punishment for him was nothing more than exile from Shu County.What's more, Liu Chang went to Beijing for interrogation in person, which greatly reduced his intention of rebellion; at the same time, Liu Chang is Liu Heng's only remaining brother in the world, shouldn't he be lenient? This is called, human nature, understandable.As a result, no one objected to Liu Heng's order.The next job is to put Liu Chang in a prison cart and send him to the legendary Shu land. However, when the prison van just drove out of Chang'an City, someone immediately made a strange sound. This person is Yuan An, the doctor.It should be said that at extraordinary times, making extraordinary sounds is Yuan An's specialty and also his unique skill.This is what Yuan An said to Liu Heng: You, the older brother, should bear half of the responsibility for Liu Chang's miserable state today.Because, if you hadn't been gracious to him in the past, even obediently, then he wouldn't have made progress and carried himself away.You also know Liu Chang's fierce and stubborn character. If you suddenly want to torture him now, Liu Chang probably won't be able to stand it for a while.If something really happened to him on the way, and your elder brother would end up being called a brother-killer, then the gain would outweigh the loss! Yuan Ang's words were like a pipa master's hand, which awakened the low-key strings in Liu Heng's heart.Yes, instigating is also a crime.If it wasn't because my elder brother loves me too much, then how could Liu Chang dare to rebel against me in anger?If it is said that punishment is required, Liu Heng should also slap himself fifty times.But, just think about it.Not to mention asking Liu Heng to twitch his mouth, even asking him to admit his mistake would be an embarrassing thing. Liu Heng had no choice but to follow Yuan An's words: I just want to teach this little brother a lesson, and I will let him come back now! However, as soon as Liu Heng finished speaking, news came from the front that Liu Chang had died on a hunger strike. It is necessary to explain that Liu Zhang's prison car was sealed, and the road was bumpy. When he died of a hunger strike, he was not noticed and continued to be transported along the county.When they were transferred to Yong County (Fengxiang County, Shaanxi Province), the magistrate of Yong County opened the seal and saw that everyone was dead. Black hair with black hair is the most impermanent in the world.When Liu Heng heard the bad news, he was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. He wept bitterly and couldn't eat. At this time, Yuan Ang came to persuade Liu Heng again. When Liu Heng saw Yuan An, he asked Yuan An full of sadness: I didn't listen to you, which is why King Huainan died suddenly.Now that I really end up with the name of killing my younger brother, what do you think I should do now? Yuan Ang said: "Actually, His Majesty cannot be entirely blamed for this matter. His Majesty wants to clear the name of killing his younger brother. Beheading two people is enough to thank the world!" Liu Heng looked at Yuan An suspiciously: Who should be beheaded? Yuan Ang: They are the prime minister and the royal doctor! By the way, after Guan Ying died, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty was succeeded by Zhang Cang.Doctor Yu Shi is temporarily represented by Mr. Feng Jing, Director of Reception for Foreign Official History (Dian Ke).However, it is necessary to make it clear that these two people have no enmity with Yuan An in the past, nor in the recent past, and it is unbelievable that Yuan An made such a wicked move. That's right.Since ancient times, all rebels have been punished with death.There are both personal and physical evidence of Liu Chang's rebellion, and he should be executed for the crime.And the prime minister and the censor doctor are also doing what they should do within their duties.Besides, Ting Wei and the Minister of Royal Affairs (Zong Zheng) were the ones who started the concert at that time, so why only the prime minister and the doctor Yu Shi were beheaded?Could it be that Yuan An has taken a fancy to those two high positions? Insidious, really too insidious. However, Liu Heng's answer also surprised Yuan Ang: let the prime minister and doctor Yushi find out the truth first. The so-called truth is to find out the dereliction of duty officials who passed through the counties along the way.They probably didn't feed Liu Chang in Kaifeng, and they probably didn't treat Liu Chang as a human being. These people deserve to die. After beheading these dead ghosts, Liu Heng issued another order: Liu Chang was buried in Yong County with the Marquis etiquette, and thirty households were set up to guard the grave. A farce is finally over!
