The great man will live forever

Chapter 149 Wei Qing is seriously ill
It comes like flowing water and passes like wind. I don’t know where it came from and where it ended.

In 106 BC (the fifth year of the Yuanfeng reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty), Sima Qian was 40 years old and was appointed Taishi Ling.

He followed Emperor Wu to the prosperous Tang Dynasty in Nanjun (in Lujiang), where he hoped to worship Yushun at Jiuyi Mountain. He crossed the Yangtze River from Xunyang (southwest of today's Huangmei County, Hubei), climbed Mount Lu, and went north to Langya (now Zhucheng, Shandong). He was granted the title of Mount Tai. Go along the coast.

In the same year, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty divided the country into [-] supervisory areas in order to strengthen the central government's control over local areas, except for the seven counties near the capital.Each district is dispatched by the imperial court to have a governor who is responsible for inspecting the official affairs in the district and reporting on illegal county officials and powerful officials. The district under his jurisdiction is called the governor's department.

Among the thirteen governor's histories, eleven adopted the legendary state names in "Shang Shu Yu Gong" and "Zhou Li Zifang", namely Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou and Liangzhou. (Yongzhou), Yizhou (Liangzhou), Youzhou, and Bingzhou.

Among them, Liangzhou was renamed Yizhou, and Yongzhou was renamed Liangzhou. There were also two counties, Shuofang and Jiaozhi, which still used their names and were called Shuofang Cishi Department and Jiaozhi Cishi Department. They were collectively called the Thirteen Cishi Departments, or "Thirteen Departments" for short. , known as the "Thirteen States".

This year, Wei Qing became increasingly ill and was almost bedridden. Wei Zifu got the news and hurriedly left the palace to visit him.

"Cough cough!"

Coughing violently, Wei Qing, who is only 47 years old, is about to reach the end of his life. His face is old, his hair is white, his lips are dry, and his eyes are dull.

He knew that his days were numbered and his life would end soon.Although he was a brave and fearless general in the past, the Great Sima General of the Han Dynasty, and the Huns would tremble when they heard his name, but now he is no longer able to show his strength and determination.

Now, he can only wait for his fate to come in an extremely weak state.

Death is equal to all living beings. He finally understood the truth. The saddest thing about people is that no matter how powerful you are and how many great achievements you leave behind, you are bound to die.

"A son is not like his father. Which of my Wei Qing's sons is like me?"

Wei Zifu is one year older than Wei Qing. He is 48 years old this year. Women always age faster than men because their beauty fades away. She also had gray hair without knowing it.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is also getting old. He is already 50, but the reason why people can live is probably because young and beautiful women have seen too much and live longer.

"But the emperor hopes that the prince can succeed him."

As Wei Zifu spoke, his eyes were red. Even though she was almost over fifty, she still couldn't help crying, not only for Wei Qing's serious illness, but also for her own future, especially for the prince, the beloved son of his parents. Profound.

Once Wei Qing fell, the Wei family's Dinghai Shenzhen was gone. She had aged and faded over the years, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty no longer favored her. She was a big scumbag, not to mention the tens of thousands of beautiful women in the harem. The people you love so much keep changing, and most of them end badly.

The first is the original wife, the protagonist Chen Ajiao of The Golden House, who was thrown into the cold palace and dethroned the queen.In the end, Chen Ajiao died of depression and desolation. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not even look at her until his death.

The second one was Wei Zifu, who was good at singing and dancing, and was also particularly gentle and considerate. He was the longest favored person by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Later, Prince Liu Zhi had no choice but to raise an army because he was framed by Jiang Chong and other villains. fail.Wei Zifu was also implicated, deposed the queen, and committed suicide.

The third one, Mrs. Li, was a geisha, good at singing and dancing, and very beautiful. However, she was in poor health and died of illness soon.In order to express his longing for Mrs. Li, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty doted on his brother Li Guangli very much and made him a general.

However, Li Guangli had no military talent and suffered repeated defeats, losing power and humiliating the country.Not only did they lose territory, but they finally surrendered to the Huns. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was so angry that he killed Mrs. Li's entire family and completely annihilated her family.

The fourth, Mrs. Gou Yi, is currently the most favored. She followed the nearly 60-year-old Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty when she was a teenager. She did not enjoy a few good days. Later, she gave birth to the prince Liu Fuling, who Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty liked very much.

After Liu Zheng's death, it was decided to pass the throne to Liu Fuling. Originally, for Mrs. Gou Yi, once Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died, she could cover the sky with one hand, and good times were coming.Unexpectedly, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed Mrs. Gou Yi before his death to prevent her from monopolizing power.The young Mrs. Gou Yi was killed and buried with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in advance.

It can only be said that no one is forever, but there are always people, men’s mouths, and deceitful ghosts.

Wei Qing, who was lying on the bed and spoke feebly, continued, "How did the emperor know that a great talent like him may not be born in 500 years? Marquis Lanling said it well, there is an emperor through the ages, and there may only be one in a thousand years, but in a generation If all generations were like the emperor, who was so happy about his achievements, the world would be in chaos."

Why didn't Wei Qing know the shortcomings of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? He was very happy with his achievements and went on expeditions every year, but he couldn't persuade him.Wei Zifu is not worried about whether the world will be in chaos. At her age, he is even more worried about his children. "I'm just worried that sooner or later the emperor will ask King Changyi to replace the prince."

Liu Kun, the king of Changyi, was born to Mrs. Li. He was the fifth son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the nephew of General Li Guangli of the Second Division. He is currently the biggest rival of the prince. He is not famous. He died early. Has Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died? How long did it take for me to belch?

He is not famous, but his son is very famous. His son is the famous Liu He, also known as Haihunhou, also known as the abandoned emperor of the Western Han Dynasty.The ninth emperor of the Western Han Dynasty was also the emperor with the shortest reign in the history of the Western Han Dynasty. He was also the first emperor in history to be deposed while still alive.

In April of the first year of Yuanping (74 BC), Huo Guang assisted Liu He, the king of Changyi, who had a weak foundation, to visit Dabao.After taking the throne, Liu He lacked experience in court politics and was unwilling to act as a puppet of the powerful minister Huo Guang, so he conspired with his confidants to remove Huo Guang.

However, because the conspiracy was leaked, Huo Guang deposed him on the grounds that his behavior was "promiscuous" and endangering the country. This was only 27 days after Liu He ascended the throne.The Empress Dowager Shangguan ordered Liu He to return to his hometown of Changyi Kingdom. Later, all the officials in Changyi were destroyed, and the Changyi Kingdom was abolished and demoted to Shanyang County.

Of course, he was described in history as a licentious man who served as emperor for 27 days. It is said that during the 27 days he was emperor, he did 1127 bad things, which means that he did an average of 42 bad things every day...

This is so powerful. Even a naughty child is not so strong. He does bad things without eating or sleeping. So when he is in the fiefdom, he can't make a big change and be killed?

At that time, the court was controlled by the powerful minister Huo Guang, and he had to find someone who was less diligent in governing and could take control.Liu He liked to play very much. Huo Guang said that's what I like, so he called Liu He to Kyoto to become the emperor.

The history books describe it this way, "Emperor Xiaozhao abandoned the world long ago and sent envoys to conquer Changyi. The king held a funeral ceremony. He had no sense of sorrow, abandoned etiquette and friendship, and did not eat vegetarian food on the road. He sent women from the official position to carry clothes and carts. , where he lived in the passed-down house. From the time he came to visit him, he was established as the crown prince. He often bought chickens and dolphins for food privately. Before receiving the emperor's letter and seal, he took the next step and issued the seal without sealing it.

Congguan Gengzhijie introduced more than [-] Congguan, Zouzai and official slaves from Neichang City, who often played with Ao Nei, who lived in Jinmen.The book said: "The emperor asked his ministers: Gao Chang, the imperial minister, offered a thousand catties of gold and gave them ten wives." '"

To put it simply, when Emperor Zhao passed away, the entire palace had to go on a vegetarian diet. However, Liu He not only showed no sadness, but also used meat. He even secretly arranged for people to go outside the palace to buy all kinds of meat and feast on it.

Not only that, he also slept with the emperor's woman, who was equivalent to his stepmother.

In order to have fun, he had done things such as asking ministers to marry ten wives, riding the Shangguan Queen Mother's pony carriage with the official slaves in Yeting, and also doing things such as using jade seals indiscriminately and giving random rewards.

Liu He inherited Emperor Zhao's empire and should have respected Emperor Zhao, but he went his own way. Not only did he not worship the ancestors of the Han Dynasty, but he went to worship his father Liu Kui first.

Of course, history books are always written by the victors. Liu He is described in the history books as a dissolute, immoral, and incompetent king.

But what the truth of history is, future generations have no way of knowing, but Liu He may have had deep intentions in doing this, and he did it just to paralyze Huo Guang.

In addition to doing these things, Liu He also did three extremely important things when he became emperor.
First, the Queen Mother's palace guards were replaced by her own people.

Second, he promoted his old tribe in Changyi and alienated the courtiers in Chang'an.

Third, he changed his military symbols and wanted to take power.

Linking these actions of Liu He, it is not difficult to see that Liu He has only one purpose in implementing the deception: to seize power!Seize Huo Guang's power!

Who is Huo Guang? There is a person who has been hiding so deeply in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He has not fallen down for decades. In terms of political power struggle, he is the boss. Liu He's tricks are just a joke in his eyes, and even more provocative.

Huo Guang reached the limit of this segment with just a little action. He united a group of courtiers and ousted Liu He from the throne.

Later, Liu Bing, who was so powerful, could only endure it, and he could only tolerate it, and waited until Huo Guang died before he settled the hatred with Huo Guang's family for his wife being poisoned to death.
