Perhaps it was Han Xin’s instructions before leaving, or perhaps it was Han Wangxin who gave him great courage.
In short, under the influence of the two Han Xins, in September of the 10th year of the Han Dynasty, just two months after the death of the Supreme Emperor, Chen Xi rebelled.
The Dai Kingdom originally had a great king, Liu Bang's elder brother Liu Xi. However, during the Xiongnu attack, the Dai King actually abandoned his country and escaped alone. Liu Bang was furious and demoted him to
Hou. Although the Dai Kingdom has no king, the Dai Kingdom still exists, and its leader is Chen Xi, who is nominally the Prime Minister of Zhao but is actually the Prime Minister of Dai.
On this day, Chen Xi called the ministers of Dai State to the palace.
These vassal states in the early Han Dynasty can be regarded as "complete with all five organs", as if they were a state within a state. They also had all the official positions of the Han Dynasty, including prime minister, Taifu, and censor. As vassal kings, they had two
A very important power.
The first one is that you can appoint and remove officials of less than 2,000 dan by yourself, and those above 2,000 dan need to be appointed and removed by the Han Dynasty.
The second is "getting taxes and collecting taxes", which can collect taxes from the subjects of the kingdom and distribute them freely.
Chen Xi came to Dai Kingdom not long ago, but he had already begun to exercise his power. Most of the officials in the country with a price of less than 2,000 shi were held by his retainers. Most of the other ministers were also close to him.
But on this day, after the officials entered the palace, they were extremely frightened.
Because Chen Xi was actually sitting on the throne waiting for them. On weekdays, their court meetings were also in the palace, but Chen Xi had to sit next to the superior. Sitting on the superior was like a rebellion. And it was already early in the palace.
A large number of people gathered, most of whom did not wear official uniforms and were Chen Xi's retainers. They sat on both sides of him, occupying the positions of the ministers.
These ministers may not think highly of the guests composed of these ranger groups, and the guests may not think highly of these "meat eaters" either.
As soon as he entered the palace, Grand Tutor Dai's face changed drastically. He stretched out his hand, pointed at Chen Xi who was sitting on the throne and cursed: "How can you be so virtuous? How can you sit on the throne? Why don't you get down!"
Chen Xi was scolded, but he was not angry and said with a smile: "Things have changed. Please sit down and listen to me."
Obviously, the Taifu was not willing to listen. He turned around and was about to leave, but was directly stopped by several diners. These diners held sharp swords in their hands and had ferocious eyes. "You are here to humiliate your lord in front of the guests. Do you know that?"
What will happen?"
"You enjoy the king's salary but do something disloyal to the king. Do you know what will happen?"
The master was not afraid and continued to curse.
The disciples swarmed over and immediately chopped the Taifu into several pieces. The Taifu did not stop and insulted him until he died completely.
With the Taifu's lesson learned, the other ministers trembled, no longer dared to resist, and sat at the bottom of the table tremblingly.
Chen Xi said with a smile: "I have admired Lord Xinling since I was a child. I only regret that I never had the opportunity to follow him in person. If I could meet Lord Xinling, I would even lead a horse for him as a servant... When I grew up, I began to
I follow the example of Lord Xinling, treat my guests sincerely, do not behave disrespectfully, treat the guests as my friends, be humble and respectful, and treat others with condescension."
"My lord is right!"
The diners responded one after another.
Chen Xi added: "The original Lord Xinling was depressed because he was jealous of his elder brother, but in order to defend his country, he devoted himself to fighting against the violent Qin Dynasty."
"I heard others say: Liu Bang is a dishonest villain. He was originally the king of Han, but he annexed other people's countries. King Chu, King Han, King Zhao and others all made great contributions to him. He imprisoned King Chu and expelled him.
The King of Han, except the Kingdom of King Zhao.”
"The reason why he is where he is today is entirely because of the help of these princes, but after the success, he wants to get rid of these people one by one."
"I have decided to get rid of Liu Bang for the sake of the world, restore the country of the princes, and help the world with Zhou's righteousness. What do you think?"
The diners immediately became excited, and they shouted one after another: "I am willing to follow my lord!!"
Amidst their roars, the ministers trembled, lowered their heads in fear, and said nothing.
"I am not talented, so I am willing to temporarily become the acting king and get rid of Liu Bang!!"
In this way, Chen Xi established himself as acting king, and hastily arranged a series of positions. He placed his retainers in all important departments, and then issued the first order.
"If Liu Bang knew the situation in Dai, he would definitely lead an army to attack. I have many soldiers in Dai, but I don't have enough food. Please help me gather enough food for me in Zhao and Dai to confront Liu Bang!"
The diners should be respectful.
.....
"What are you going to do? Spare your life~~"
"Please don't take it away. I have four children at home. Please forgive me~~"
"Please generals, my mother is seriously ill and we only have this little food at home, please~~"
"Let her go!! Beast!!!"
"Fight them!!"
"Father!!"
"Wow~~Mom~~"
The way to prepare food for the army is very simple. Since there is no food in the national treasury, then grab it from the people. The people who have just experienced many wars and are recovering from the suffering have experienced an indescribable nightmare.
The king of Dai wore bright clothes and entertained his ministers and guests in order to further win over them. It was also a simple enthronement ceremony. Before the uprising, he destroyed the roads between Zhao and Dai. Liu Bang and others wanted to
It will take at least three or four months to call.
The King of Dai drunkenly laughed, raised the exquisite wine cup, and told a not-so-funny joke. The guests laughed loudly and raised their glasses in celebration. The King of Dai raised the wine cup and drank the wine.
, the drink dripped from his beard...
"Ta~ta~ta~"
Blood dripped on the ground. The old man's eyes were distracted. He was lying on the millstone at home, his hands were chopped off, and blood was dripping from his slit throat, one drop at a time, as if it would never end, and beside him
, several undergrown children fell in a pool of blood, and Dai Jun hurriedly jumped over them carrying the grain in the barn.
Dai Wang's musicians began to play for him. Listening to this music that only princes and kings could hear, Dai Wang enjoyed it extremely. He ate the cooked beef in front of him. All the guests had delicious dishes in front of them, just like
Like Lord Xinling, he distributed the meat equally to all the guests, leaving no one behind. The way the king treated the virtuous corporal naturally received applause from the guests. They congratulated the king loudly, and everyone laughed for a while.
stand up....
"Hahahaha~~~"
The crazy and naked woman let out a shrill laugh, holding the mutilated body of a child. Her hair was disheveled and she raised her head, looking like a madman.
Perhaps Chen Xi’s original purpose was just to prepare food as soon as possible and prepare for the confrontation with Liu Bang, but his generals obviously didn’t think so. With their master’s permission, they acted arbitrarily in the Zhao Dai area, looting food and killing people.
Once the civilians, rapists, and human bestiality are unleashed, the consequences will be dire.
The entire Zhao, Dai and other areas suddenly became a purgatory on earth.
And all this, in the history books, there is only this paragraph, "In September, he rebelled against Wang Huang and others, proclaimed himself the king of Dai, and plundered Zhao Dai."
.......
The news that Chen Xi rebelled and proclaimed himself king spread quickly. Even Liu Bang, who had expected this, was speechless at this moment. Chen Xi was the first group of people to follow him. Liu Bang and him
We are very close to each other. Even if he is not as kind as King Yan, I still feel that I have never treated him badly.
Liu Bang sensed something was wrong when he sent people to check on his retainers, but when Chen Xi really started to rebel, Liu Bang still felt a slight pain in his heart.
why?
Why do you do that?
Liu Chang did not hear the news, but the changes in the palace still caught his attention. Once there was any disturbance outside, the atmosphere in the palace was completely different. The eunuchs became more cautious than before, looking at every move they walked.
They couldn't reach their heads, and the adults disappeared for a while, and Liu Chang couldn't see them anymore.
Whether it was their father or mother, they suddenly couldn't find them. The Jiaofang Hall was empty, and only Liu Chang was left.
Seeing this situation, Liu Chang quickly understood that this must be Chen Xi's rebellion.
And everything that happened next in Jiaofang Hall proved his suspicion.
This was the first time Liu Ying, a good boy, contradicted his mother. Liu Chang's eyes widened and he looked at Liu Ying who returned to Jiaofang Hall with Queen Lu, full of grievance and unwillingness, while Queen Lu's face was cold, as if she was covered with blood.
ice.
"Who do you think you are? Do you know what it's like to fight?"
"Father trusts me, why don't you trust me?"
"Oh, go back, you are not allowed to mention this matter again!"
