Chapter 427: Lessons from the past, wasting time and waiting to die
Taichang Gu Tan continued to speak: "His Royal Highness, think twice, you can never be captured without mercy. Then Liu Qiang died a few years after being granted the title of King of Tibet. Maybe he was assassinated by Liu Zhuang.
This is a lesson learned from the past!”
Teng Yin thought for a moment and continued to persuade: "Even if Liu Qiang only had a few years of wealth in the end, he did not fail to make progress by retreating. First he was the deposed prince, and decades later his descendants ascended to the throne of emperor.
As long as you know how to be patient, there will be opportunities like Liu Qing's.
King Yijiu of Zhou Ping even ascended to the position of emperor as the deposed prince. No matter what, only the person who survives to the end can truly get it!"
Sun He thought for a moment and then said: "What you said is not unreasonable. Let me think about it carefully."
Liu Qing was the son of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, and his mother was a noblewoman of the Song Dynasty.
The empress of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty was Empress Dou, who came from the Dou family, a wealthy family in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The imperial family of the Eastern Han Dynasty had two major characteristics: the emperor did not live long and the queens often had no children.
So Queen Dou also learned from the previous queens and snatched Liang Guiren's son Liu Zhao to raise her.
The next story happened naturally.
Empress Dou falsely accused the Song nobleman of practicing witchcraft and cursing the emperor. Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty listened to partial beliefs, so he gradually alienated the Song nobleman's mother and son. Finally, he deposed Liu Qing as King of Qinghe and established Liu Zhao as the prince. The Song nobleman later committed suicide.
Empress Dou also used the same trick to frame Liu Zhao's biological mother Liang Guiren, who also committed suicide.
Poor Liu Qing was only a few years old when this accident happened. He learned to be cautious at a young age and was loved by the emperor.
According to historical records, "Although Qingshi was young, he knew how to avoid suspicion and fear of disaster, and did not dare to talk about the Song family. The emperor took pity on him even more and ordered the queen to wear the same clothes as the prince."
Of course, the bigger reason should be that Liu Qing, who lost his identity and mother, is no longer a threat. The Song family is not a wealthy family in the first place, and the Song family has declined even more after his suicide.
Liu Qing was so careful that he did not dare to publicly worship his mother who committed suicide, nor did she dare to do so even after the death of Empress Dowager Dou.
It wasn't until Emperor He of the Han Dynasty vindicated his biological mother Liang Guiren and ordered public sacrifices to be allowed. Liu Qingcai cried and said: "I didn't receive support when I was alive, but finally I was able to sacrifice. My wish was finally fulfilled."
Emperor Liu Zhao of the Han Dynasty and King Liu Qing of Qinghe had a very good relationship, probably because they had a common enemy, the Dou family. Liu Qing also assisted Liu Zhao in overthrowing the powerful Dou family, which was considered a healthy life.
The legendary story of Liu Qing deposing the crown prince is not over yet.
During the Han Dynasty, all the previous princes died in infancy, so the later princes were raised among the people.
When Emperor He died, he did not have time to appoint a crown prince. His queen, Empress Deng, found two princes from among the people and chose the infant Liu Long, who was only a few months old, to ascend the throne as the Han Dynasty Emperor. Liu Long died soon after.
Empress Deng thought carefully and chose Liu Qing's eldest son Liu Hu to succeed him as Emperor An of Han.
Liu Qing's grandson, Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, was also deposed when he was the crown prince, but he ascended the throne again with the help of eunuchs.
The story of Liu Qing, the deposed prince’s family, is more legendary than the stories of many emperors.
The reason for Liu Qing's happy death was that he had been cautious in his words and deeds since he was a child, never made any remarks that were inconsistent with the central government's opinions, and was loyal to the emperor.
Of course, there was also a major environmental factor. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the foreign relatives were strong, the emperor always tried his best to unite all his family members who could be united.
But most deposed princes do not die well, especially those from ruthless emperors.
Liu Bao was the seventh emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was established as the crown prince in the first year of Yongning. Because of Emperor An's wet nurse Wang Sheng, Dachangqiu Jiangjing, and Zhongchang Shifan, he was framed.
In the third year of Yanguang's reign, Prince Liu Bao was deposed as King of Jiyin.
In the third year of Yanguang's reign, Emperor An of the Han Dynasty passed away. In order to control the affairs of the country, Empress Dowager Yan welcomed Liu Yi as the emperor. In October of the same year, Liu Yi died of illness. The Yan family did not announce the funeral secretly, but planned to conscript another prince from various princes as the emperor.
On the fourth day of November, an earthquake occurred in sixteen places in the capital and prefectures. That night, nineteen people including Sun Cheng from Huangmen worked together to kill Jiang Jing, Liu An, Chen Da, etc., and welcomed Liu Bao, the king of Jiyin, under the west bell of Deyang Hall, and ascended to the throne as emperor.
The throne was Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty.
In August of the first year of Jiankang, Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty Liu Bao passed away in the front hall of Yutang. He left an edict not to leave the temple and not to bury any existing clothes or treasures with him.
In the late Western Zhou Dynasty, King You of Zhou favored Bao Si, deposed Ji Yijiu, and made Bao Si's son Ji Bofu the crown prince. Yijiu ran to his grandfather Shen Hou to ask for help. When King Zhou You saw it, he felt that his son was going to rebel, so he sent troops to attack Shen Hou.
country.
The Marquis of Shen believed that he could not defeat King You of Zhou, so he united with Quan Rong to attack Hao Jing. As a result, he defeated the Western Zhou army and killed King You of Zhou and Ji Bofu. After Quan Rong retreated, Yijiu was supported by some princes such as Marquis Shen.
When I was established as king, I was King Ping of Zhou.
Taichang Gu Tan saw that Sun He was persuaded by Teng Yin again, and he had an idea and retorted: "Teng Chengsi, you are harming His Highness the Crown Prince. Why don't you shut up quickly and do nothing to stop it? It's not possible for someone to be so passive as to accomplish something."
Just a few,
There are more examples of failure like Xiong Jian, Tai Ziping, and Zhao Zhang. Only by taking the initiative can we have more chances of winning. If we have been passively waiting for the opportunity to seek change, we are just wasting our time waiting to die!"
In order to promote the relationship with Qin, King Ping of Chu arranged for Prince Xiong Jian to marry the princess of Qin, and at the same time sent minister Fei Wuji to Qin to welcome the bride. When Fei Wuji arrived, he saw that the princess of Qin was as beautiful as a fairy, and he had an idea.
It turns out that King Chu Ping is very lustful and likes beautiful women. Fei Wuji flattered King Chu Ping and even let King Ping marry the princess of Qin. This caused a rift in the relationship between King Chu Ping and Prince Xiong Jian. Later, Fei Wuji was afraid of settling scores with the queen, so he kept driving a wedge between King Chu Ping and Prince Xiong Jian.
Xiong Jian’s relationship.
In the end, Prince Xiong Jian was forced to leave the State of Zheng and wanted to secretly contact the State of Jin to secure a piece of land for himself in the State of Zheng. However, the incident was revealed and he was killed by the King of Zheng.
King Ji Kuai of Yan believed in Yao, Shun, and Yu's abdication, so he deposed Prince Ping and abdicated the country to the prime minister.
After Zizhi accepted the abdication, the prince refused to accept it, so he united with General City of Yan State to attack Zizhi. However, the strength was greatly disparity, and he eventually failed and ran away.
King Xuan of Qi took advantage of the civil turmoil in Yan and sent troops to attack Yan. Since most of the Yan people opposed Zizhi's rule, the Qi army faced little resistance and attacked all the way to the capital of Yan. King Kuai and Zizhi of Yan were also captured.
kill.
However, because the Qi army burned, killed, and looted in the Yan state, the Yan people rebelled one after another. In order to appease the Yan state, King Xuan of Qi prepared to support Prince Ping to succeed to the throne.
However, the neighboring state of Zhao was unwilling. They wanted to be closer to their son, Prince Zhao, to succeed him, so they teamed up with Prince Qin's grandfather, King Qin Huiwen, to defeat Prince Ping. Prince Prince was King Yan Zhao.
Zhao Zhang was the eldest son of King Zhao Wuling and was made the crown prince. However, his mother died early. King Zhao Wuling later favored Wu Wa and made Wu Wa's son Zhao He the crown prince. After the Hufu riding and shooting, King Zhao Wuling took the initiative to abdicate to Zhao He.
Calling himself Lord Father,
Zhao He was responsible for handling internal affairs, and King Zhao Wuling was responsible for external campaigns. However, King Zhao Wuling later felt that Zhao Zhang was not at fault for being deposed.
Moreover, the elder brother still needed to be a minister to his younger brother, so he wanted to divide the Zhao Kingdom into two parts and make Zhao Zhang the acting king, but he was opposed by the ministers.
King Wuling of Zhao found that his orders were not easy to implement, but he was still in his prime, so he wanted to regain power, so he privately encouraged Zhao Zhang.
So Zhao Zhang planned to kill Zhao He during hunting, but the minister Fei Yi saw through it, and Zhao He killed Zhao Zhang. Later, King Zhao Wuling was imprisoned, and the overlord of the generation starved to death. This was just waiting for the rope to tighten around his neck.
