Coiling Dragon: “Star Change” published in simplified form
Lecture 3 Standing Storage Storm
Voiceover: In the previous episode, Mr. Wang Liqun mentioned that Sima Qian recorded in the "Historical Records-Foreigner Aristocratic Family" two women who influenced the fate of the young Liu Xie, one was a thin queen and one was Liu Xie's mother Wang Meiren. . In the first four years of Emperor Han Jing's life, Emperor Han Jing established Li Jisheng's eldest son Liu Rong as the prince, and Liu Ye as the king of Jiaodong. From this point of view, the crown prince already has a famous flower owner, and Liu Ye's dream of a crown prince should be over. So, will Liu Ye's fate change? Who will adjust the pattern of already stereotypes? Who is the third woman affecting Liu Xie's fate?
In the last episode, we talked about two women who influenced the fate of young Liu Xun, one was a thin queen and the other was Wang Yan. In this episode we start introducing several other women.
The third person who influences the fate of young Liu Ye is Chang Princess Liu Ye. Long Princess is also known as Guan Tao Princess, Dou Taizhu, she was later the eldest daughter of Dou Dou.
This person was a key figure in the process of Liu Ye's ascension to the Crown Prince. What kind of person is long Princess Liu Ye? She is Han Jingdi's sister. already is very high in this position, but the long Princess person has a big characteristic, that is, greed. Her greed is particularly strong, she made long Princess herself, and she also wanted to make her daughter equally rich. At this point, just like Lu Hou, Queen Mother Bo, and Long Princess we talked about in the previous episode, this is probably also a human nature, that is, your generation is rich, expensive, and you want All her children and grandchildren must be both rich and expensive, so long Princess Liu Ye should not be involved in this matter. As a result, she has a daughter, this daughter is very famous, her daughter is Gillian, a very famous person. In the early years of Emperor Hanwu and the early years of Emperor Wu, she was a famous figure. She wants to make her daughter rich too. What would she do? She wanted to marry her daughter to a prince. If her daughter marries a prince, then in the future the prince will succeed as emperor, and her daughter will be promoted to queen. So long Princess Liu Ye was involved in this incident, and her starting point was to find a prince for her daughter.
Of course, Liu Ye ’s first choice is not Wang Ye ’s son Liu Ye, because in the four years before Emperor Jing, he sealed Liu Ye as the king of Jiaodong. As we said in the previous episode, he also sealed his eldest son Liu Rong as emperor. Prince. So the first goal of the long Princess election was Prince Liu Rong. Of course, he found Prince Liu Rong (mother) and wanted to give his daughter to Prince Liu Rong. He was rejected by the mother of Prince Liu Rong. Rejected very simply. This refusal caused Chang Princess to shift his gaze to the other princes. In this section, Wang Xi came forward again. At this time, her son already was named King of the Jiaodong. At this time, Wang Ye seized the opportunity, because the long Princess proposed to the prince's mother was rejected by the prince's mother. The Princess was angry and looking for a new People who may be made Princes in the future. At this time, Wang Xi posted it. Just approached, intentionally approached her, so what kind of relationship was formed inside the court, that is, a situation in which two people, Chang Princess Liu Xun and Wang Meiren Wang Xun, joined forces. Once this situation is formed, it is likely that they will benefit in the future, and their wishful thinking is also played like this. If Liu Mei, Wang Meiren's son, is to be prince in the future, then it is possible that Princess will let her daughter be promoted by the princess. The impact of the cooperation between Chang Princess and Wang Meiren on young Liu Xun's ascension to the Crown Prince was too great. Because she has a very convenient condition for long Princess, she can easily see her brother Han Jingdi, so she can say good things about Liu Ye and Wang Meiren in front of her brother, which is very easy to do. This character has a great influence on Liu Ye's ascension to the Crown Prince. In the middle of this process, there is a very popular story called Jinya Zangjiao, which everyone knows is very famous. It was written that when Liu Ye was young, she longed Princess to hold Liu Ye because she was Liu Ye ’s aunt. She hugged this little Liu Ye on his lap to amuse him, and then asked Liu Ye whether you would marry a wife Pointing at her one hundred and ten maids who served her, one by one looked at Liu Xun if he wanted to, Liu Xun at all. Finally, she clicked on her own daughter Jiao, and then Liu Ye said a very famous saying, saying that if Jiao was a wife, she would make a golden house to store it. That is to say, if I want to marry Gillian as my wife, I will build a golden house for her to live. This is the story of the very famous "Kinya Hidaka" in history. This story has spread widely. already to already people have forgotten that it is from the field history, not from the history. We have n’t seen the "Golden House Treasure" record in "Historical Records" and "Hanshu". What does this record come from? There is a book. The book I mentioned in the previous episode is "Hanwu Story". The author of "Hanwu Story" is Ban Gu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Ban Gu wrote "Hanshu", but now people say that the wild history of "Hanwu Story" is "Ban Gu". Named after Ban Gu wrote, Ban Gu wrote did not write the history of this book, so we can't believe what Ye Shi said, but at least it illustrates one problem, the young Liu Ye is a very smart person. When several women were in the position of princes and queens, in the middle of the competition, the affected Liu Ye was not involved in this matter, especially he was not actively involved in this matter. Because how old Liu Ye was when this happened? It was from the period when he became the king of Jiaodong to the crown prince. For three years, he was made the crown prince at the age of seven, and he was named the king of the east at the age of four. Does not play much role. But juvenile Liu Xun should be a very clever child. As for the "Golden House Treasure", is it from Liu Xun's mouth, there is no test, there is no record in the history books, but it is recorded by wild history and novelists. This story has spread very widely and has been To this day we have another idiom called "Golden House Treasure".
Voiceover: Mr. Wang Liqun believes that for Chang Princess and Wang Meiren, one is to make her daughter rich and the other is to make her son a prince. The two are willing to fight one by one. In this way, Chang Princess and Wang Meiren join hands, and where is the four-year-old Liu Ye who knows the complexity of it, and who will be affected by his fate?
From Mr. Wang Liqun's analysis, Li Ji's offense against Princess is indeed a very bad thing for Prince Liu Rong. However, with the unilateral remarks of Chang Princess, Emperor Han Jing will never abolish the prince to change others, which still has no hope for Liu Ye as a prince. And Mr. Wang Liqun believes that Sima Qian also revealed a person in "Historical Records-Foreign Relatives Aristocratic Family". She means a lot to the young Liu Xun, so who will she be? How will she affect the fate of the boy Liu Ye?
Let ’s introduce Li Ji, the fourth woman who influenced the boy Liu Xie, Li Ji, the eldest son of Emperor Jing Jing and Crown Prince Liu Rong.
From our historical records, she is a Qi native, a Shandong native, and she has three sons. One was named Prince and the other two were named King. However, when her son was named Prince in the four years before King Jing, Li Ji was unexpectedly not named Queen. Of course this ca n’t be named the queen. Let ’s examine it. This year her son was the prince. This year was the first four years of Emperor Han Jing. Who is the queen at this time? It ’s the first woman we talked about in the last episode. Although Queen Bo has no sons and no pets, she has not been abolished. She is still the queen, but the prince is the eldest son of Li Ji, the eldest son of Emperor Han Jing's fourteen sons, Liu Rong. It was because the thin queen had not been abolished. Of course, there were no other factors here. In the fourth year of Emperor Han Jing's succession, that is, four years before King Jing, there was no other meaning of standing the prince and not the queen. For example, waiting, observing, and thinking otherwise, will there be these thoughts, not documented. But I think that at this time Emperor Han Jing had to consider his prince but not the queen. Because he was in a very complicated situation, which of the many sons was standing, he was the eldest son first, but not the uncle. At this time, his uncle was a thin queen. However, this incident did not attract enough attention from Li Ji, because Li Ji's son was made the Crown Prince but she was not made the Queen. There are many variables in existence.
First, whether Li Ji can be established as a queen in the future is a question. This is also a variable. Can she be a queen and will she keep the situation forever. One is the queen and the other is the prince. Originally, the queen and the prince should be in a mother-child relationship, but now it is divided into two pieces. How long will this situation remain and when will it change, I don't know. In addition, if your son is made a prince and you cannot be a queen for a long time, will it in turn affect your son as a prince? This is also a variable. This is also a difficult time to answer at the time The problem.
Third, the thin queen is the queen, and Li Ji's son Liu Rong is the prince. Will such a situation of separation between the two concubines create an illusion for the other concubines and let them feel that they have the opportunity to take advantage of it? This possibility. In general, the prince stood, but the queen did not, which should be a red flag for Li Ji.
Voiceover: According to Mr. Wang Liqun's analysis and "Historical Records-Foreigners" Aristocratic Family According to the record, Li Ji actually already In a very embarrassing position, Li Ji herself had no consciousness at all and was still dreaming. Perhaps Li Ji is very confident, after all, her son is the eldest son of Emperor Han Jing. According to the principle of standing up, Liu Rong's prince is well deserved. Princess When he proposed to Li Ji, Li Ji boldly refused, without hesitation. So what kind of person is Li Ji, and why does she do it? How did Mr. Wang Liqun evaluate Li Ji?
After her son was established as a prince, she encountered the first thing, that is, her long daughter Princess gave her a favor to her son. The purpose of Chang Princess Liu Ye to do this was described in the previous episode. She wanted her daughter to be the queen in the future, but Li Ji's response was very decisive, very fast, and flatly refused. Li Ji's refusal was not explained in the history books. I think there are two main reasons for this.
First, envy. Li Ji is a very jealous person, because there is such a fact here, Li Ji is so jealous of the long Princess, because the long Princess constantly recommends beauty to her brother Han Jingdi. Chang Princess obviously did this to please her younger brother. She kept recommending her beauty to her younger brother. What role did Chang Princess actually play in front of Emperor Jing? She played the role of a matchmaker in a matchmaking agency, and kept on introducing, and she was very accurate in introducing, and she succeeded as soon as the introduction was made. Emperor Han Jing favored the women introduced by his sister one by one. This stimulated Li Ji very much, so Li Ji felt that the reason why she was treated coldly was that the Guan Tao Princess was playing tricks in the middle. Now that you want your daughter to be my daughter-in-law, there is no way, it is absolutely impossible, so she flatly refuses, this is jealousy.
Another important reason, naivety. Li Ji is not a bad person. This person is jealous. I think as a woman, as a husband, her husband, and of course her husband is a very special man. He is an emperor, and there are people Introduce him the new darling, so as Li Ji, she is not satisfied, this is normal. But Li Ji has a big weakness: she is too naive. Her naivety is that she doesn't know that the court is full of various variables and that everything can happen. And at this time, Li Ji's childish performance is the most prominent. We can think for Li Ji, who is Li Jing just staring at at this time, because her son already is established as a prince, she can be a queen in one step And the queen is still a thin queen who occupies the seat and has no children. So we can imagine that Li Ji's eyes are only staring at whom, only the thin queen. She only thought about when and how to let the queen Bo vacate the position, she wanted to be so. She stared at the queen, and she forgot that there was still someone staring at her. There is a saying in China that the mantis catches the cicada and the yellow bird is behind. Li Ji is staring at the thin queen. She did not expect that there will be another pair of eyes staring at her closely. Who is this person? Wang Ye. Wang Ye is still staring at her. So Li Ji behaved very naively on this issue. Because of her naivety, she didn't understand the complexity of the court struggle. She didn't understand that the dispute between the prince and the queen was a battle between life and death. In fact, Li Ji should have heard something in front of her. Li Ji was from the Han Dynasty Emperor. She knew at least the story of Mrs. Qi, at least the story of Empress Lv. She knew the battle for the throne, the crown prince, The queen battle is a battle of life and death, and she should have this experience. But she didn't consider that much, so this person was a very naive person. Therefore, in this situation, Li Ji refused to think long Princess flatly without deep thinking.
Voiceover: I didn't expect my daughter's rich long Princess to touch her nose in front of Li Ji. Mr. Wang Liqun believed that Li Ji's jealousy and naivety undoubtedly pushed long Princess to his opposite, and long Princess She is by no means a casual person, will she give up? Offended Chang Princess, what will this bring to Li Ji?
The rejected long Princess responded immediately, and the long Princess responded in two ways:
First, slander Li Ji in front of King Jing. She was very vilified. According to records, this long Princess told Han Jingdi something, she said that Li Ji was very bad to her, and that when Li Ji and other concubines were together, long Princess only had to go. Li Ji always asked her waiter, her own maid, to insult her by pointing at the back of the long Princess and cursed her. As a result, Jingdi looked at it. The history records "Jingdi looks at it for the sake of it." This incident had a very bad impression on Li Ji, and she hated her. This incident did not occur at the time, but Chang Princess kept talking about Li Ji's bad words in front of Han Jingdi for a long time, and it continued to accumulate. It was very unfavorable to Li Ji, which was a response of Chang Princess.
In another aspect, Chang Princess took the initiative to pay Wang Meiren. In this way, Li Ji is in Wang Meiren and Guan Tao Princess, long Princess, the two together to deal with her situation, so Li Ji is a very important person to influence the young Liu Ye. Because her son is a prince, if Li Ji's status is shaken, it will directly affect his status. If Li Ji's status is shaken, and the Prince's status is shaken, then Wang Meiren and Liu Ye may have a chance. So I feel that Li Ji did have her own fault at this time, and her way of taking death was that she made some unforgivable mistakes.
She made these mistakes, and I summed up her about four points:
First, Li Ji lacks sufficient understanding of the status of the emperor and concubine. Since you are the emperor's concubine and the emperor's concubine, don't expect the emperor to be loyal to you, to love. From the day you marry the emperor, you will have to be prepared for this, you will have to face your many rivals. If you want to marry the emperor, you also hope that the emperor will be devoted to you. This is too naive. This is how Li Ji lacks sufficient knowledge of the status of the emperor and concubine. She is unaware of this problem. At this point, the queen mother Bo we talked about in the previous episode is very clear. Do n’t you just mean one-night stand? If you do n’t meet again in the future, she will admit it, and she will admit it. As a result she was a series of lucky. Li Ji doesn't have such a conscious understanding of this problem. She thinks that I gave birth to an eldest son. You and so many people are good, and you ignore me anymore. She complains and even vents this resentment on the long Princess The lack of conscious awareness of this position of her concubine emperor and concubine is her first shortcoming.
Second, she seriously underestimated the energy of long Princess. She too underestimates the energy of long Princess, because she thinks you asked your daughter to marry my son, and I refused what you can't do to me. My son is a prince, and she too underestimates long Princess. An important reason why the long Princess was flattered in front of Han Jingdi, we just said that she constantly introduced beauty to Han Jingdi, so Jingdi trusted her very much, and Jingdi could not do without such a matchmaking person. So you are fighting with her now, of course, she said bad things about you in front of Emperor Jing. Li Ji is too lacking in understanding of the huge destructiveness of Chang Princess. She is far from that Wang Xi in this regard. Wang Ye used Chang Princess, and Li Ji offended Chang Princess.
Third, she seriously overestimated the stability of the Prince's status. She felt that her son had become a prince. This is certain. It cannot be changed. The position of the prince will never change, which is too naive.
Fourth, she is too optimistic that she can take the queen position. My son already has become a prince. Isn't it sooner or later to be a queen myself? not necessarily. She didn't realize this. She only thought that her son was a prince, and that she would become the queen sooner or later, so I was not afraid of anyone, and I am the same when you grow Princess. In the future, my son will become emperor, and I will be the empress, and she dreams all day long.
Voiceover: The shallow Li Ji didn't realize the danger of already's potential situation. She didn't know it at all, but can Li Ji's innocence and ignorance change the fate of juvenile Liu Xie? Will it be so simple? In the history of China, the contention for Prince Edward has always been bloody. Who will be affected by Liu Xie's Prince Road?
From the historical facts recorded by Mr. Wang Liqun based on "Historical Records-Foreign Relatives Aristocratic Family", four women already affecting the fate of the young Liu Xie appeared on the scene. They were the thin queen, Wang Meiren, Chang Princess, Li Ji, From the comparison of the strengths of these four women, none of them has made a crucial change to Liu Xie ’s destiny. Although they have affected Han Jingdi in different ways, Prince Liu Rong ’s mother is not like King Jing ’s, but King Jing still There is no intention to abolish the prince. So who will be affected by Liu Xie's fate?
The fifth woman who influences the fate of juvenile Liu Ye, Queen Mother Dou. This is also a well-known figure, and Queen Mother Dou is also a very important character that affects the fate of young Liu Ye.
Let's briefly recount the history of Queen Mother Dou. The original status of the Queen Mother Dou was very low. The Queen Mother Dou was called Dou Yifang. When she first entered the palace, she was a palace maid next to Lu Hou. The little girl next to her will be the Queen Mother of the Han Dynasty in the future. She did not expect that, as one of her maids, Lü Hou had a decision to give her maids to several Wangs who were named by Liu Bang already at that time, and stipulated that one Wang with Liu was given to several Palace maid. As a result, this Dou Yifang happened to be among these maidens who were sealed off. Where is Dou Yifang, Zhao Guoren at the time, Zhao Guoqinghe, which is now Qinghe in Hebei. Therefore, she hoped that she could be assigned to Zhao Di, so that she would not be closer to home, and she would greet the **** who was in charge of distribution, which is the trust relationship we are talking about now. She first asked the **** who was in charge of the relationship and said that in the future you will definitely assign me to King Zhao. There is probably no gift. The person in charge of this matter was not impressed. Although I said it, I forgot when I arrived. I was so impressed that she was not assigned to Zhao Di, and she was assigned to Daiguo. When she left, Dou Yifang was crying, and she was reluctant to leave. She was divided into generations by mistake, and there were four women at the same time, and all five maids went. There have been many dramatic changes in Dou Yifang's life. After the five maids were distributed there, Liu Heng, the acting king, liked this Dou Yifang, which was the first luck.
Second, after being favored, this Dou Yifang gave birth to a daughter Liu Heng and gave birth to two sons. The eldest son Liu Qi was later Emperor Han Jing, and the second son Liu Wu was later Liang Xiaowang. , Gave birth to a second daughter, this is the second lucky. She was blessed, and it was unknown what fate was assigned to Zhao Di. When she was assigned to the land, she became the favored court maid of Liu Heng.
Third, after deciding Zhulu, the acting king Liu Heng was unexpectedly elected by the ministers as emperor. This is the famous Han Emperor in history. This is the third lucky.
Last luck is also the most important point. Although Dou Yifang is favored by Liu Heng, Liu Heng has a widow in front of him, that is, he has a queen, and she has four sons. The history book records three sons, that is, she has several sons. It is very strange that before Emperor Han Wen was established as emperor, his queen and the four sons of the queen had all died and died one after another. The queen died, and the queen's four sons also died one after another. Of course, this death had nothing to do with Dou Yifang. It wasn't that she wanted to kill this position and accidentally died. In this way, Dou Yifang's position is prominent, so this Dou Yifang was sealed by the Emperor Hanwen as the queen, and she became the Empress of the Hanwen Emperor. When the King Emperor Jing Dynasty, she became the Empress Dou. So this Dou Yifang is also a very lucky woman. We said in the middle that many concubines in the middle of the court have some unfortunate things like Mrs. Qi and Li Ji. There are also some very lucky women, like we said in the previous episode. Queen Mother Bo, the Queen Mother Dou in this episode are all very lucky concubines, and she turned out to be the Queen Mother. After she became a queen mother, what effect will she have on the fate of young Liu Ye? This Queen Mother Dou should be a very powerful person in the queen's inheritance. What decision will she make on the queen's succession? Please see the next episode of The Battle of Chu.
Lecture 4 Chu Jun battle
Voiceover: In the previous episode, Mr. Wang Liqun mentioned that Emperor Han Jing had listed Li Ji's son Liu Rong as his prince, but Li Ji rejected the request to marry his daughter because of his naive politics, which made the long-suffering Princess and The mother of the ten son Liu Xie, Mrs. Wang, joined forces to confront Li Ji. Chang Princess also continuously slandered Li Ji and Prince Li in the presence of Emperor Han Jing, and their purpose was to make Emperor Han Jing to abolish Prince Liu Rong and change Liu Ye into Prince. The emperor Dou Dou, the mother of Emperor Jingzi Han, is also a person with a strong voice in the inheritance of the throne. Who is the candidate for the prince in her mind? What kind of fierce battle will there be between these women around the Prince? How did Sima Qian record this complicated process in "Historical Records-Foreigner Aristocratic Family"?
In the last episode, we talked about the Empress Dowager being very fortunate to be the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother Dou was a very nosy person, so in the mind of the Empress Dou, who is the most suitable heir to Chu? ?
In fact, in the mind of Queen Mother Dou, the heir Chu Chu he hopes is the good young son Liang Wang Liu Wu. There are several main reasons why Dou Dou hopes Liang Wang Liu Wu as Chu Jun:
First, King Liang is a young child. This mother often loves the young child. The younger son is very affectionate and especially likes him. Today, if we go to Mount Mangshan in Yongcheng, Henan, that mangling mountain is the place where Liu Bang fell into the grass, the tomb of King Liang Xiao and the tomb of Queen Liang Xiao in that place. If you look at it, you can know the wealth of Liang Guo at that time. This rich man and the queen mother's reward and preference are inseparable, and this is one reason.
Another important reason is that Emperor Han Jing said a sentence during a family dinner. This happened after the Emperor Han Jing held a small family banquet before the Prince. The family banquet was held in the imperial palace and was hosted by Mrs. Dou later. Han Jingdi, his brother Liang Wang Liu Wu, and the queen mother Dou Ying, Dou Ying, were just a few. In the middle of this banquet, Emperor Jingde Han said a word intentionally or unintentionally, saying that after Qian Qiu, he was passed on to King Liang. As soon as this remark was made, the history book recorded "the queen queen", and the queen queen was very happy. But there was also a minister who participated in this banquet. Dou Ying, the queen mother of Dou Dou, immediately took up a glass of wine and offered it to Emperor Jingde Han. The following link said something about the legend that father and son were the ancestral system of the Han Dynasty. Where is King Liang? The meaning of Dou Ying's words has been passed down from father to son since the beginning of Han Gao's Liu Bang. Now the emperor will say to pass this throne and this prince to your brother, which is not in accordance with the ancestral system. After this passage, Sima Qian wrote another three words "mourning queen hate", and this "hate" and "happiness" wrote all the queen mother's psychology. The queen queen was pleased to pass to Liang Wang, and the queen queen was annoyed by Dou Ying's prevention. Dou Ying is her own nephew, and the relationship is very close. Because this queen mother Dou Ying cancelled her entry to the palace, and he was not allowed to enter the palace freely. It can be seen how much the Queen Mother Dou cares about this in this matter.
Voiceover: Because Empress Dou likes her youngest son, Liang Wang Liu Wu, he disregards the ancestral system passed down from the father and son of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and hopes that Emperor Han Jing will inherit the throne in a hundred years. Her idea is also valid, because in ancient China there was another way of inheriting the throne, "brotherhood", that is, his brother died after his brother inherited the throne. At the banquet at home, Emperor Han Jing did say something about passing the throne to Liang Wang Liu Wu in the future. So, why did Emperor Jingjing Han say so, did he truly pass on to Liang Wang Liu Wu? How did Sima Qian record this incident in "Historical Records-Biography of Wei Qihou"? How does Mr. Wang Liqun analyze it?
So after this incident, the second year, that is, four years before Emperor Jing, Emperor Han Rong became the prince. Judging from the actions of the second year, Emperor Han Jing had no intention of passing on Liang Wang, so if he did not intend to pass on Liang Wang, why did he say this?
Two explanations: first, show his mother goodwill. To show kindness is to please his mother. Second, appease King Liang. Because of King Liang, his mother said so hard that King Liang had this heart long ago. And when "Historical Records-Liang Xiaowang Aristocratic Family" recorded this incident, he also wrote these two sentences, saying that Liang Xiaowang knew at that time that King Emperor was not telling the truth, but he was also pleased and secretly happy. . After all, this is a very inspiring word, and it sounds very happy. This is the message that Emperor Jing sent from his home feast. If Han Jingdi did not intend to pass on to King Liang and said these words again, I think Han Jingdi's words are misleading. He can only make Empress Dou Dou's eccentricity more biased and make Wang Liang Xiao's ambition even more ambitious. So Jingdi's misleading is also a very important reason. After the family feast was over, this year's spring, the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu Chu broke out.
Voiceover: According to the "Historical Records-Xiaojing Benji" records, in 154 AD, the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu broke out in the Han Dynasty. The outbreak of the Rebellion in the Seven Kingdoms of Wu Chu was due to the implementation of the division of the same surnames after the establishment of the Han Dynasty. After a certain period of development, the vassal states became more and more powerful. When Emperor Han Jing was in power, the power of the vassals began to affect the stability of the central government. Therefore, the Minister of the Han Dynasty erroneously put forward the suggestion of "cutting the clan". This proposal was adopted by Emperor Jingde Han. Under this background, the seven vassal states headed by King Wu and Liu Xun joined together to make the "erroneous erroneous, clear monarch side". As an excuse, the soldiers launched a rebellion, which historically called "the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu Chu".
When the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu Chu broke out, Emperor Han Jing began to panic, and then he calmed down before deciding to rebel. During the rebellion, he appointed a minister entrusted to him by his father, Emperor Han Wen, before he died, because he entrusted him with a sentence before he died, and he used a then lieutenant, Zhou Yafu. That is, the son of Zhou Bo, who flattened Zhulu, used him as a captain, and appointed general Dou Ying to sit in Puyang to calm Qi Zhao's rebellion. Zhou Yafu dealt with Wu Chu and had a conversation with Emperor Han Jing before Zhou Yafu's departure. In the middle of the dialogue, Zhou Yafu talked about his general policy of counterinsurgency. How to decide this plan of counterinsurgency, Zhou Yafu said this: said that the soldiers of Chu were deficient, and it was difficult to fight with the enemy.
What does this mean? It is said that the morale of the army of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu Chu is very strong. At this time, we can only avoid its spirit and cannot directly conflict with it. What should we do? Throw Liang Guo to them. At this time, the monarch of Liang Guo was the younger son of Empress Dou Liu Wu. The geographical position of Liang Guo is very important. When we talk about "Xiang Yu" and "Lu Hou", we all mention Peng Yue, who was the earliest Liang Wang appointed. Where does the land of Liang Guo cross? The southwest of Shandong, then continue south, to the east of Henan, and then to the south of Henan. This place spans Shandong and Henan provinces and has always been a strategic place. In the Chu-Han War that year, Peng Yue broke Xiang Yu's food road in Liangdi, and now the rebels of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu Chu will attack the West and break into the Hangu Pass. They must take Liang Guo. What would happen if Liang Guo was not won? If Liang Guo could not be taken down and he went west, Liang Wang might break the food path of Wu Chu rebels. So Zhou Yafu's plan to throw Liang Guo to him, of course, this plan is a very risky plan. Zhou Yafu's plan can be said to be for the country but not for his life. He plans more for the country and less for individuals. What if Liang Guo was thrown out, what if Liang Guo called Wu Chujun to capture it? That result, either King Liang was captured or King Liang committed suicide. If King Liang is captured or killed, can his elder queen Dou agree? The queen mother Dou hurt most was the younger son, Zhou Yafu's claim was to throw Liang Guo out. Of course, Zhou Yafu's idea was adventurous at the time, but it had its merits. Its merit is to sacrifice the local for the global.
Liang Guoshou was the first to endure Wu Chujun's attack. Liang Guo's army fought very hard. At the beginning, tens of thousands of troops were destroyed. When King Liang Xiao was most nervous, he invited out the seven generals headed by Han Anguo. He personally knelt down and asked the seven generals to resist Wu Chu's soldiers for him. So arrogant a princely king bowed down to the general, you can see when Liang Guo was in danger. Moreover, King Liang asked a rescuer to Zhou Yafu one day. Zhou Yafu did not send a soldier to death. Liang Wang could not find a rescuer in Zhou Yafu. He directly sued to Emperor Han Jing. Emperor Han Jing ordered Zhou Yafu to ask Liang Liang. The historical records are five words: "Taiwei does not serve the concubine." Lieutenant Zhou Yafu did not follow the orders of the emperor, and this matter was very serious. Why did Zhou Yafu dare not to serve him, and after the incident ended, because the rebellion was only three months, after the end of the rebellion, Emperor Jingde Han did not punish Zhou Yafu, and reused Zhou Yafu and trusted Zhou Yafu very much. That shows that Emperor Han Jing didn't care about Zhou Yafu's refusal. We could push it backwards. They had an agreement in the beginning that they would throw Liang Guo to Wu Chubing. If Liang Guo is breached, it will be sacrificed and the overall situation will be preserved. If Liang Guo is weakened, that is exactly what Han Jingdi ’s wish was fulfilled, and Liang Guo is weakened. In the future, King Liang will be weak against his brother Han Jingdi in the future. After the rebellion of the Wu Kingdom and the Seven Kingdoms, Wang Liang made a great contribution. According to historical records, after the rebellion ended, Liang Guoli ’s contribution and the central government ’s contribution were each half. He can do half the credit with the manpower and material resources of a vassal state. King Liang has made great contributions. Of course, Liang Liang has made great achievements, and of course, he has the status of a competition king. In the second year after the rebellion, Emperor Han Jing suddenly announced that the eldest son of the emperor was the prince. But at this time, the queen Bo was not abolished, nor was Li Liji, but her prince was established. From the standpoint of his prince, he was at the request of the ministers, because he had not been prince for four years as an emperor, and the prince was the foundation of the country, so the ministers had this request. On the other hand, Emperor Han Jing wanted to block the king of Liang with the method of establishing the eldest son of the emperor. Therefore, for the first time, Queen Mother Dou fought to fight for King Chu for Liang Wang and thus declared defeat.
Voiceover; through Mr. Wang Liqun's narration, we know that Emperor Han Jing didn't want to pass the throne to King Liang, so although King Liang had done a great job in pacifying the rebellion of Wu Chu and the Seven Kingdoms, Han Jingdi quickly took Li Ji's son Liu Rongli is the prince. The prince candidate already was established, and it is said that the dispute over the prince should end. However, "Historical Records-Foreigner Aristocratic Family" records that Li Ji made an irrational act during Emperor Jingde's severe illness, which caused Emperor Jingde's attitude to her to change greatly. What kind of irrational behavior did Li Ji make? Does her irrationality affect the status of Prince Liu Rong? How does Mr. Wang Liqun analyze it?
Liang Wang Liu Wu, despite his great achievements in pacifying the Wu-Chu Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, was not the king of Liang in the eyes of Emperor Jingde Han. In order to block King Liang, Emperor Han Jing quickly made Li Rong's son Liu Rong as the prince, but Li Ji left a bad impression in Han Jingdi's mind because of an irrational act. What kind of irrational behavior did Li Ji make? Does her irrationality affect Liu Rong's position as a prince?
But another incident happened shortly after the failure of this incident, that is, Emperor Han Jing was seriously ill. When did it happen? Because during the period of serious illness, Emperor Han Jing felt that his illness might not be okay, so he gave Li Ji an entrustment, which was the so-called entrustment. The commission said, "After 100 years of age, I will regard it as good, Li Ji is angry, refuse to respond, speak badly, Jingdi is embarrassed, and I feel unwilling to fail." That is, when Jing Jing was seriously ill, these alreadys were named kings. These sons were entrusted to Li Ji and asked her to take good care of the princes. This statement at least illustrates two points: first, Emperor Han Jing was not optimistic about his illness; second, the painful lesson of the disaster of Lu Hou made Emperor Han Jing Have to consider having an account of the other princes. Han Gaozu's eight sons, Lu Hou cleaned up four and killed a grandson. Emperor Han Jing had fourteen sons, and half of it had to deal with at least seven, which was too threatening for Emperor Han Jing. Therefore, he entrusted this Li Ji to take good care of the other princes. These are the two reasons why Emperor Han Jing asked to be lonely. What time is this time? Let's look down, because two important messages were revealed in the middle of this trust: first, there is no intention to waste the prince; second, there is the heart of a queen. On the other hand, there is no intention to abolish the prince. On the other hand, he has the queen's heart. Since he said this to Li Ji, it is true that Emperor Han Jing considered already to establish Li Ji as the queen at this time. Her son already was made a prince three years ago, and then three years later, it is entirely possible to make her queen. Then, when this matter happened, considering the problem of closure, and the Queen Bo was abolished in September of the six years of Han Jingdi, so this matter, Han Jingdi ’s illness of entrusting orphan should be abolished. Before and after the queen, and moreover, it is more reasonable to put it after the wasteful queen. If the thin queen is not abolished, or if she does not intend to be abolished, he should confess to the thin queen the kindness of the children. The reason for explaining to Li Ji was that the thin queen might have been abolished, and she planned to make Li Ji the queen, so she explained to her. These are two important pieces of information, but unfortunately, these two important pieces of information have not been grasped. She didn't understand these two important messages, and she remembered that she came first, first was angry, then didn't agree, and then later she talked badly, and it was hard to hear. According to the wild history "Hanwu Story", "Li Ji was angry, Falken should scold the old dog." He also called the emperor an old dog. The saying that the emperor is an old dog is the first. It ’s not groundless. The history of the history has its basis. Li Ji does not speak badly, but it is not so bad that the emperor is an old dog. I do n’t think it is possible. This is bad news. . A concubine, who has not yet been made a queen, dare to call the emperor an old dog. This is Li Ji's anger and irrationality is not to this extent, but at least that Li Ji made a big mistake at this time, she Lost the last chance to be a queen. So this is Li Ji's very irrational point. Soon after this incident, Emperor Han Jing was unexpectedly better. She did not die. This is what we said about Li Ji's reaction. What is Han Jingdi's reaction? Emperor Han Jing's reaction was annoyed first, and then there was no seizure. Han Jingdi ’s annoyance is conceivable. If you think about what he would do as Han Jingdi, your son has been made a prince for two years, and I have never stood up to you. Why not stand up to you. I am observing you. As a result of observation, you are disqualified. So Han Jingdi was very annoyed. Why didn't he have an attack? Probably not for these two reasons. First, Han Jingdi was a very man of the city, and he was unwilling to have an attack. Another one, in the disease, can not occur. You're sick now, and you get angry again, isn't it that the condition is more serious and too clever, so the fire of Emperor Han Jing was suppressed. Although this incident passed because of Emperor Han Jing's illness, this incident did not end. If we speculate that this is the case, it should have happened after Emperor Jing Jing was abolished in September of six years.
Voiceover: We know from Mr. Liqun Wang's remarks that Li Ji lacks political wisdom. She did not understand the meaning behind Emperor Han Jing's serious illness, and lost the best opportunity to be a queen. Her irrationality caused Han Jingdi to be extremely dissatisfied with her. Her naivety also made Prince Liu Rong's status at stake, and at this time, according to the "Historical Records-Foreigner Aristocratic Family", another incident happened in the court of the Han Dynasty, which eventually prompted Emperor Han Jing to make A shocked decision. What is this? What decision did Han Jingdi make?
Emperor Han Jing's serious illness actually implied that Li Ji might be queen, but Li Ji's irrational behavior made Han Jing empathic with her, and her naivety made Prince Liu Rong's status at stake. According to the "Historical Records-Foreigner Aristocratic Family", at this time, another incident happened in the court of the Han Dynasty, which eventually prompted the Emperor Han Jing to make a decision that shocked the court. What is this? What decision did Han Jingdi make?
In the seventh year of Emperor Jingjing, another thing happened. What happened at this time? It is Madam Wang. She instructed a courtesy officer in charge of the dynasty. This officer's position was called Daxing, who asked Daxing to write a memorial to the emperor, saying that Li Jiti's son had been made Prince already for three years. China has always been a mother and son Expensive, son is expensive to mother, then according to mother to son expensive, Li Ji should be named queen. Of course, the foreign minister did not understand the intricate relationship between the five women in the court. Instead, he thought it was an opportunity to invite pets. If the emperor approved the memorial, wouldn't Li Ji thank the minister who suggested it? ? Therefore, the minister made a suggestion. When this suggestion report was hit, Emperor Han Jing was angry with Long Yan, and was very annoyed. He was also annoyed for his reason. Because Emperor Han Jing thought he was very smart, in fact this time he was fooled by Mrs. Wang. He didn't know that the person who instructed the minister to do this was Mrs. Wang. Who did he think it was? He thought it was Li Ji. He felt that Li Ji was impatient and waited. His son had been a prince for three years. His mother had not been made a queen. Can't wait, and impatiently asked foreign ministers to give her advice. In this way, this old master, King Jing Jing, who has a profound plan and a city capital, added the old account of last year and the new account of this year. In fact, the old account is really the new one. But these emperors, on the one hand, are really smart, on the other hand, they think they are very smart. When two aspects of intelligence are added together, he feels that he is smarter. He is clever and thinks that he is clever. He suspects that it is Li Ji, so he comes to the final account after the autumn and the old account and the new account together. The cause of the illness was a remote cause. This time the Daxing's movement was a near cause. He attacked together and invalidated the prince. Therefore, in the winter of the seven years before Emperor Jing, Prince Li Li was the king of Linjiang. In fact, this prince is the most disadvantaged. This prince, Liu Rong, is in the race for five women. He is an involved person, but he has no ability to control this situation. Because of his mother, he lost The opportunity to become emperor was relegated to the king of Linjiang. In this case, Emperor Han Jing did nothing but endlessly. On the one hand, the Prince was abolished, and on the other hand, he instructed his ministers to arrest and execute all the relatives of Li Ji in the North. So Han Jingdi was a late-action man. He was so angry that he could slap for many years, and then he attacked together. Once he had an attack, it was very popular and two-pronged. On the one hand, he degraded the prince and on the other hand he degraded Li Ji. On the one hand, he took all of Li Ji's relatives and executed them, and resolved Li Ji's problems without leaving any problems. Therefore, Li Ji finally lost her chance to be a queen, and soon died in anger, and soon died.
Voiceover: Because Li Ji ’s politics was naive, she was extremely irrational in the incident of Emperor Han Jing ’s serious illness, and buried the hidden dangers of Emperor Han Jing ’s dissatisfaction with her, coupled with Madam Wang ’s incitement, which eventually prompted Han Jingdi to Decided to denigrate Li Ji and abolish the prince. In this way, the crown prince was vacant again, but Mrs. Wang had not yet had time to move, and Queen Mother Dou jumped out again to fight for Chu Jun for her youngest son, Liang Wang Liu Wu. So, what will Han Jingdi do? How did Sima Qian record this incident in Historical Records?
Han Jingdi did two things. On the one hand, he expressed his consent to his mother. On the other hand, he mentioned to his mother that this matter is very important and needs to be discussed with the ministers of the DPRK and China. This is the so-called DPRK proposal, and the ministers will discuss how to deal with this matter. Therefore, Emperor Han Jing convened a number of ministers, one of whom was a very familiar person, that is, the minister who advocated killing the wrong one. Yuan An attended this meeting, and Yuan An was a very important role in this discussion. Originally, it was not Yuan Yuan's turn. It should be his turn, but Wu Chuqi was in the three years before King Jing. already was killed unjustly during the country chaos. Therefore, at the time of Emperor Jing's seven-year dynasty, the protagonist was Yuan An. As a result, the final discussions between the ministers of Yuan An and Emperor Jing Jing led to the suggestion of Empress Dou Dou to be stranded and not mentioned. In fact, Han Jingdi had only one purpose for convening this court. He told his elder wife that I agreed, and conversely he convened the ministers for a meeting. The ministers did not agree. His purpose was to use the mouth of the courtier to seal the queen's mouth. The ministers' mouths sealed the queen mother's mouth. Then, a group of ministers headed by Yuan An went directly to the palace to see the Empress Dou Dou and told the Empress Dou Dou. When Yuan An arrived at the Queen Mother Dou, the Queen Mother Dou immediately revealed her point of view, and wanted to make Liang Wang the Chu King. Yuan Ang asked, saying that you have set Wang Liang as the prince of the Chu. Then King Liang is dead. If King Liang is the next life, who will you pass this emperor to? She said that I would pass it to his brother's son. My brother died, and my brother died, and then passed on to his brother's son, which was passed to Han Jingdi's son. Yuan An said that something happened in history. There was a Song Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period. When Song Xuangong died, he passed the throne to his brother. His brother was very grateful to his brother for a few years when the monarch died. The throne was given to him, so his brother left a widow when he died, and returned the inheritance of the throne to his brother's son, and then returned it to his nephew. As a result, his own son did not agree, and his own son gave him his watch. Brother killed and seized this right again. The result is that the offspring of his brothers and sisters killed you, and I killed you, so that the Song Dynasty was the fifth generation without peace. Yuan An told these words, this historical story, and this historical lesson to Queen Mother Dou. After listening to the Queen Mother Dou, she knew that her knowledge was not good. She was a very lucky person. Her family background was very low-level and did n’t have much culture. She did not listen to Song Xuangong's story in the spring and autumn. Say. Yuan An told her that she thought it was a thing. You passed it to King Liang. Okay, what to do if King Liang died? Pass it on to King Jing's son, what if King Liang's son disagrees? Isn't that about the fight between King Jing's son and King Liang's son? Therefore, in this case, the Queen Mother Dou will no longer mention King Liang as the Chu King, but the Queen Mother Dou accepts it reluctantly. Will King Liang agree? What kind of reaction will Wang Liang make? Please see the next episode "Prince".
