What I want to tell you today is also a story.
Who is Liu Jiang? Most people may not know it, but if you talk about his father, Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, everyone will know. Jiang was abolished because his biological mothers Guo Shengkun and Yin Lihua competed for the position of queen.
When Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was a poor boy, he admired Yin Lihua, the first beauty in Xinye, and left a sigh of "marrying Yin Lihua". Yin Lihua is a rich girl, and Liu Xiu is a plowman, so she can't afford it. Fortunately, Liu Xiu took part in the revolution with his eldest brother, and the next year he was named Wu Xinhou.
As soon as his career was successful, Liu Xiu couldn't wait to marry his first love, Yin Lihua. But the revolution has not yet succeeded, and Liu Xiu still needs to work hard. Shortly after they got married, Liu Xiu led the army across the Yellow River. Only Yin Lihua is with her best friend. When she saw Liu Xiu again, she was surprised to find that there was another woman beside Liu Xiu.
This woman's name is Guo Shengkun. His combination with Liu Xiu is not because of love, but because of politics. Although they have no feelings, Guo Shengkun is sensible and thrifty, and Liu Xiu treats her very well, first as a nobleman and then as a queen.
After the reunification of the country, Liu Xiu does not need to form an alliance with anyone. Guo Shengkun has been queen for a long time, and it's over. As a result, the idea of turning Yin Lihua into a queen became stronger and stronger in his heart. Finally, one day, Liu Xiu reduced Guo Shengtong to the Queen Mother of Zhongshan, leaving the position of Queen to Yin Lihua.
The wind of jealousy in the harem of the Han Dynasty ended only worse than the worst. Lady Qi and Harmony in the Western Han Dynasty are the best examples. However, Guo Shengkun met a good man. Although the queen was abolished, life went on as usual. Brothers and sons do what officials do, and so does the king. But the ginger in the crown could not sit still.
Half of Guo Shengkun's luck comes from the fact that he gave birth to a clever son. The change of imperial power in past dynasties is bound to be accompanied by a blood shed. When Guan Jiang saw that his biological mother was abolished, he knew that the tide was gone. So he ran to his father and offered to give up the position of the prince. The palm of your hand is covered with meat, and the boss didn't make any mistakes. Liu Xiu strongly disagreed.
Liu Jiang resolutely refused to be a prince, resigned every day and resigned every year. Liu Xiu first disagreed, then remained silent, and finally reluctantly agreed. To oust Jiang and make him king of the East China Sea.
Just because Liu Jiang voluntarily withdrew from the battle for the throne doesn't mean trouble won't come to you. After Liu Xiu's death, Liu Zhuang, the son of Yin Lihua, acceded to the throne. Liu Zhuang has a half-brother Liu Jing, who is very talented but narrow-minded. Liu Jing is better than Liu Zhuang in theory and papers, so Liu Jing can't be emperor, and he doesn't want his brother to be happy.
Liu Jing pretended to be Liu Jiang's uncle Guo Kuang's handwriting and wrote a new letter to the East China Sea King. The letter said that Liu Bang and Mao Zedong were just a small pavilion in Surabaya, but they could establish the Dahan Dynasty. Now you are a vassal, the eldest son of the first emperor. Queen Guo is innocent and abolished. The emperor was supposed to be yours, but Liu Zhuang took it away. Are these two enemies still men if they don't report it?
Liu Jing is afraid of chaos, and his brothers fight, so he can use fishermen. However, he miscalculated. If this letter were given to other C gentlemen, it might really be an instant hit, but it happened that Liu Jing met Liu Jiang.
Liu Jiang was scared to death when he read the letter. He quickly arrested the messenger and sent the letter to Luoyang. Liu Zhuang is a kind man, knowing that his younger brother is angry with himself, so he didn't go into the case of his younger brother Liu Jing. But my younger brother incited Liu Jiang to revolt and became Liu Zhuang.
Liu Jiang voluntarily relinquished the position of Prince, which enabled Liu Zhuang to ascend the throne smoothly. This time, my brother rebelled, and my brother kindly protected himself. So Liu Zhuang felt that he owed his eldest brother a big favor. So, when Liu Zhuang learned that his eldest brother Liu Jiang was seriously ill, he immediately ordered all c's to visit him personally, and sent messengers and doctors from Luoyang to Liu Jiang's fief in batches.
Liu Zhuang's heart failed to keep Liu Jiang. A few months later, Liu Jiang died of illness, leaving only a suicide note, demanding that his son be sent back to his hometown for resettlement, instead of staying in the country to be king.
Throughout the Han dynasty, no deposed prince could have a good end. Only Liu Jiang is kind-hearted and can judge the situation. Liu Zhuang was deeply saddened by Liu Jiang's death. He held a grand funeral for Liu Jiang to make up for his last guilt for his eldest brother.
