The great man will live forever

Chapter 245: Gengshi’s Failure
In the spring of the second year of Gengshi (AD 24), Liu Xiu stayed in Guo's Qili, Zhending, and accepted Guo Shengtong.

At this point, the Guo family in Beidi and the Liu family in Nanxiang combined their two surnames and became in-laws.

This is an out-and-out political marriage. As a tool for alliance and goodwill in the hands of her uncle, King Zhending, Guo Shengtong does not enjoy any autonomy.

In this union formed out of necessity, the meaning of marriage becomes realistic, utilitarian and direct.

After that, Liu Yang beat the fou and sang. King Zhending's wealth was guaranteed, and the Zhending royal family was once again in peace.But only his niece, who was married to Liu Xiu, had an uncertain marriage and a confused future.

From then on, the Liu family and the Guo family changed their banners to support Liu Xiu.

After taking Zhending, Liu Xiu successively captured Yuanshi County and Fangfang County. He entered the county and killed Wang Lang's general Li Yun.

Later, Liu Xiujin arrived at Bairen and defeated Wang Lang's other general Li Yu.But Li Yu retreated to Bairen City and defended it, while Liu Xiu could not lay siege.

But here, Liu Xiu ushered in the most brave man of the Eastern Han Dynasty - Jia Fu, the third general of Yuntai.

Jia Fu defected to Liu Xiu, and the first person he met was Liu Xiu's military advisor Deng Yu. After seeing him, Deng Yu evaluated him as a "great talent" and then recommended him to Liu Xiu without stopping.

Liu Xiu believed in the vision of military advisor Deng Yu, so when he saw Jia Fu, he made an exception and appointed Jia Fu as the Polu general, and rewarded him with his own horse.

This actually aroused dissatisfaction among Liu Xiu's old subordinates, but Liu Xiu insisted that Jia Fu had the power to repel the enemy thousands of miles away and should not be neglected.From then on, Jia Fu became Liu Xiu's most powerful general. In every battle, he would take the lead and charge forward. He was invincible and became the Han army's first vanguard general and Liu Xiu's first bodyguard.

After Jia Fu reported it, Liu Xiu prepared for a formal decisive battle with Wang Lang. He first captured Guang'a City, and then prepared to go south to attack Julu, the guard city of Handan.

At this moment, smoke and dust billowed outside the city of Guang'a, and a large number of cavalry roared towards them. Liu Xiu's heart suddenly tightened, thinking that it was the enemy's reinforcements. Unexpectedly, this cavalry team was Geng Yan, who had disappeared for some time, together with Wu. Later, Han (the 2nd general in Yuntai), Kou Xun (the 5th general in Yuntai), Jing Dan (the 10th general in Yuntai), Gai Yan (the 11th general in Yuntai), Wang Liang (the 18th general in Yuntai), etc. The world-famous Northeastern Army generals came to join him.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xiu burst out laughing: "Shanggu Yuyang's sudden cavalry is famous all over the world. I didn't expect that the soldiers and horses from the two counties came for me. I will definitely hold high the flag of righteousness and share the joys and sorrows with you. I will also remember the great kindness of the patriots of Youzhou. Great virtue."

After Liu Xiu expressed his position, he fully carried forward the fine traditions of his old Liu family and immediately awarded rewards as soon as he had merit. After he made all the generals of the Northeast Army partial generals, he also made the two big bosses Geng Kuang and Peng Chong. He became a general, and at the same time made four military lords, Geng Kuang, Peng Chong, Jing Dan, and Gai Yan, princes.

After Liu Xiu joined the troops, he went south and headed straight for Julu.

Julu is an extraordinary place. It is the place where important historical events took place, such as the dispute between Wang Mang and Liu Xiu in the Western Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Uprising in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhu Di's "Battle of Jingnan" in the Ming Dynasty, the "Jiazhuang Battle" of the Qing Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty, and the "Battle of Jiazhuang" in the late Qing Dynasty. The Jingting Baoxiatou Temple uprising all took place here.

Julu area is located in the central part of northern China, in the south of Hebei Province, bordering Wei County to the east, Nanhe to the south, Guantao to the west, and Pingxiang to the north.As it is located on the transportation artery of the Central Plains, the geographical location of the Julu area is very important.

It is said that 5000 years ago, Emperor Yao of the Tang Dynasty gave the throne of Julu to Yu Shun. Yu the Great established Jiuzhou, and Julu belonged to Jizhou. One of the nine counties, it also belonged to Xingzhou during the Northern Song Dynasty. History is constantly changing, and where Julu belongs is also changing...

At the same time, the Xuanhan regime also sent Shangshu Ling Xie Gong to lead [-] troops to attack Handan from south to north, but there was no progress. After learning that Liu Xiu was heading south, he led his troops to join forces and attack Julu together.

After taking down Julu, they could go straight to Handan. However, Liu Xiu and the others did not go smoothly in attacking the important town of Julu. There was no progress for more than a month, and Wang Lang took the opportunity to sneak attack the base camp Xindu. This was very fatal, because the big Some of Liu Xiu's high-level family members are in Xindu.

Wang Lang wanted to use his family as a condition to blackmail Liu Xiu's generals. As a result, a tragic scene was staged in Liu Xiu's camp. The generals expressed their opinions that they would fight with Wang Lang if their family members were no longer wanted!

Later, Liu Xiu divided his troops and sent Xie Gong to lead an army to counterattack Xindu to rescue his family members. After Xie Gong led the army away, Wang Lang suddenly sent tens of thousands of his last family members to reinforce Julu.Liu Xiu resisted the difficulties and was about to be defeated.

Just when Liu Xiu's army was about to collapse, Jing Dan, as the general reserve team, led the sudden cavalry into the battlefield.On the plain, the cavalry attacked the infantry, which was like cutting melons and vegetables. Wang Lang's counterattack was defeated.

Liu Xiu, who had once again made a miraculous comeback, sighed: "I have long heard that the cavalry of the two counties are the best in the world. When I saw them today, they really lived up to their reputation!"

It has to be said that Liu Xiu's trip to Hebei was surrounded by dangers and narrow escapes, but there were always noble people who helped him and turned danger into good fortune.

Therefore, in addition to one's own strength, luck is also very important for a person's success. Ability determines the lower limit, and luck determines the upper limit.

At this time, Geng Chun came up with a bold idea. Since the Julu was difficult to capture, he would "abandon the Julu and attack Handan directly."

Liu Xiushen thought so, so he left General Deng Man to continue the siege of Julu. He personally led the army to advance to Handan, winning consecutive battles, and soon came to Handan City.

Wang Lang felt that the situation was over, so he sent Dewey to negotiate with Liu Xiu. To be precise, he should discuss how to surrender. This guy was timid and afraid of getting into trouble.

But Dewey was obviously not a good negotiator. He repeatedly emphasized that Wang Lang was indeed the direct blood and flesh of the [-]th emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, and boldly demanded that Wang Lang be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households.

Liu Xiu, who had already taken the initiative, sneered at this unreasonable request and admitted that being spared life would be the greatest mercy. He still fantasized about becoming a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households?
At first, Liu Xiu was chased by him and fled like a dog. Now in 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, Liu Xiu will naturally retaliate in kind.

After the talks collapsed, Liu Xiu launched a fierce attack on Handan.

On the first day of May, Wang Lang's young master Li Li surrendered in Kaicheng and Handan fell.After Wang Lang escaped, Wang Ba caught up with him overnight and beheaded him on the spot.

The capture of Handan signified that Liu Xiu had basically pacified Hebei. Although there were still various peasant armed forces in Hebei at this time, they no longer posed much of a threat to the rising Liu Xiu. It was only a matter of time before they were wiped out. .

In general, there were three crucial turning points for Liu Xiu to finally gain a foothold in Hebei.

First, Ren Guang and Pi Tong strongly recommended him to stay;
The second is to marry the true king Liu Yang;

The third is the support from Shanggu and Yuyang Cavalry.

Without these three turning points, Liu Xiu, an outsider, would have struggled to survive on the land of Hebei and become a rootless duckweed.

After conquering Handan, Liu Xiu found thousands of letters among the seized documents from officials from various places colluding with Wang Lang. Some people suggested that all these officials should be arrested.

Liu Xiu didn't even read it, and immediately ordered the letters to be burned, and joked: "If you don't burn it, many people will not sleep well."

Everyone was convinced, and for a time those who surrendered gathered together, and Liu Xiu's strength greatly increased.Liu Xiu's method of burning letters to calm people's hearts was naturally learned by Cao Cao.

At this time, Liu Xuan, who proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an, saw that Liu Xiu was growing stronger in Hebei. Emperor Gengshi was extremely uneasy. He sent envoys to Hebei, named Liu Xiu King of Xiao, ordered him to hand over his troops, and returned to Chang'an to receive the reward. At the same time, he ordered the minister to He ordered Xie Gong to monitor Liu Xiu's movements on the spot, and arranged for Xie Gong to be the shepherd of Youzhou and take over the troops of Youzhou.

Liu Xiu refused to accept the order on the grounds that Hebei was not at peace.

Soon, Liu Xiu ordered his powerful generals Wu Han and Cen Peng to take advantage of Xie Gong's defeat at the hands of You Lai's army to attack Yecheng and kill him. Their soldiers and horses were also recruited by Liu Xiu.

At the same time, Mu Miao Zeng of Youzhou and the prefects Wei Shun and Cai Yun of Shanggu and other places sent by Emperor Gengshi to Hebei were also captured and killed by Wu Han, Geng Yan and others.

Since then, Liu Xiu has publicly broken with the Gengshi regime.

At this time, Liu Xiu had strong power, and his next goal was to conquer the peasant uprising armies, large and small.

Liu Xiu first went south, pacified Hanoi County and established a base.He appointed Kou Xun as the governor of Hanoi and led his army in the northern expedition to recover various places.

At that time, there were dozens of rebel armies in Hebei, including Bronze Horse and Fuping, and numbered millions of people.Although there are many people, they are scattered and have no political goals.

To deal with these rabble, Liu Xiu, as a great strategist, was naturally confident. He adopted both suppression and surrender, and soon conquered them one by one.

The Bronze Horse Army is the strongest of the rebel armies, with tens of thousands of people.Liu Xiu defeated them twice, cut off their food routes, and sent people to appease them. The Bronze Horse Army had no choice but to surrender.

Liu Xiu made their leaders marquis and allowed them to continue to command their respective troops.

The Bronze Horse Army surrendered for the first time, and Liu Xiu was not at ease.Liu Xiu knew what they were thinking, so he patrolled their military camp without any warning, showing a high degree of trust in them.

The officers and soldiers of the Bronze Horse Army were greatly moved and talked one after another: "King Xiao put his heart into someone else's belly. We should retaliate with death."

Later, a famous idiom "to confide in one's heart" came from this.

From then on, the Bronze Horse Army sincerely surrendered and became one of Liu Xiu's main forces in conquering the world. Therefore, Liu Xiu was called the "Bronze Horse Emperor".

Liu Xiu spent two years adopting different strategies to eliminate and conquer various forces and pacify Hebei.

At the same time, a large number of civil servants and generals gathered around Liu Xiu. Most of the famous "Yuntai 28 Generals" followed Liu Xiu during this period.Liu Xiu created a new world with his superhuman strategy and courage.

He also sent Deng Yuxi into Guanzhong and Feng Yi to attack Luoyang, which was guarded by Zhu Tuna and others.

In the third year of Gengshi (25th year), Feng Yi, Kou Xun and others reported the news of their victory outside Luoyang City. The generals took the opportunity to propose that Liu Xiu be given a title. Liu Xiu refused and led his army back to Jixian to continue the pursuit of You Lai. military.

After wiping him out, he headed south to Luoyang. On the way, officials tried to persuade him to advance many times, but they were all rejected. It wasn't until Geng Chun pointed out that Liu Xiu's refusal to proclaim himself emperor would disappoint the scholar-bureaucrats who followed him that Liu Xiu was willing to listen to his advice.

When they arrived at Hacheng (now Guchengdian Town, Baixiang County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province), Liu Xiu summoned Feng Yi, and Feng Yi also strongly encouraged him to join.

At this time, Guanzhong Confucian scholar Qianghua (Liu Xiu's fellow student when he was studying at Taixue in his early years) came to present "Chi Fu Fu", which contains "Liu Xiu sent troops to capture Bu Dao, and all the barbarians gathered in Long Dou Ye. On the occasion of April [-]th, Based on the prophecy that "fire dominates", the ministers persuaded him to enter again, and Liu Xiu finally agreed.This strengthened waistband with the word "Guigu" on it was very secretive. After he presented the "Red Fu Talisman", he didn't want anything and went into seclusion.

At the end of the sixth month, Liu Xiu ascended the throne as emperor at Qianqiu Pavilion in Hacheng and established Yuan and Wu.In order to revitalize the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu still used the country name "Han" when he founded the country, and it was called the Later Han Dynasty in history.

After the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the Han Dynasty founded by Liu Xiu was also called the Eastern Han Dynasty based on the fact that the capital Luoyang was located in the east.

"Ah, ah, ah!"

Along with crying, in the Luoyang Palace, Liu Qiang, the first prince of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a tragic figure, was born.

And his tragedy all stems from Liu Xiu's Baiyue Lihua.

As later generations said: "She won perfect marks in Liu Xiu's heart when she was a teenager, and she trapped the young Liu Xiu from then on.

She effortlessly defeated everyone after her, and no one could compete with her because she didn't do anything but just stand there and win.

A is always A and B can be anyone.Just like Lu Xinghe's 56 marriage proposals, they were no match for Yu Huai's words, "I'm late."

If love is a test, then Yin Lihua is not the standard answer, but the test paper itself.In elementary school textbooks, miss means meeting, in junior high school textbooks, miss means missing, and in high school textbooks, miss means missing.

She was the first ray of sunshine when Liu Xiu first fell in love, and she was the firmness that made him do what he knew he couldn't do.

The 21-year-old Yin Lihua cannot redeem the 31-year-old Liu Xiu, but she can do so as a teenager.

She only needs to stand there and wave to Liu Xiu. If she is the light, Liu Xiu will go to the light. If she is the darkness, Liu Xiu will go to the darkness. There is no turning back on this journey. "

At the same time, the reform regime has faded away, which shows that human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same.

In the first month of the third year of Gengshi (25th year), Fang Wang, a native of Pingling, established Ru Ziying (Liu Ying), the former emperor of the late Western Han Dynasty, as the emperor.

Liu Ying was the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the great-grandson of King Xiao of Chu Liu Xiao, and the son of Liu Xian, Marquis of Guangqi. He lived from Jichou day in March of the first year of Jushe (April 6, 4 AD) to Guimao day of the first month of the first year of the founding of the People's Republic of China ( January 17, 9 AD) was the crown prince of the Western Han Dynasty. He did not become the emperor, so Wang Mang called him "Ruzi" and the world called him "Ruziying".

Liu Ying only served as the crown prince for three years in his life. He was imprisoned at the age of four and ordered to prohibit anyone from talking to him.When Ru Ziying grew up, he could not recognize animals, could not speak clearly, and became a fool.

At first, Fang Wang saw the political chaos of Emperor Gengshi and speculated that he would be defeated. He told Gong Lin and others from Anling: "The former Ding An Gong Liu Ying was the heir of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty. Although Wang Mang usurped the throne, Liu Ying was once the ruler of the Han Dynasty. . Now people say that the direct descendant of the Liu family should be appointed emperor. I want to work with you to achieve great achievements. What do you think?" Gong Lin and others agreed.

So he found Liu Ying in Chang'an and took him to Linjing to formally establish him as emperor.Gathering thousands of party members, Fang Wang became Prime Minister and Gong Lin became Grand Sima.

Emperor Gengshi sent Li Song and General Su Mao to defeat Fang Wang and others, killing several of them.He also ordered Su Mao to resist the Red Eyebrow Army in Hongnong. Su Mao's army was defeated and more than 1000 people died.

In March of the same year, Liu Xuan sent Li Song to join Zhu Tuna and the Red Eyebrow Army to fight in Peixiang. Li Song and others were defeated and abandoned the army and fled. More than [-] people died.

At this time, Wang Kuang and Zhang Xuan were stationed in Hedong. They were defeated by Deng Yu and rushed back to Chang'an.

Zhang Xuan is a typical surrender and escape faction. He advocated surrender in Kunyang back then. Fortunately, Wang Mang's army refused to let him surrender. Otherwise, the outcome of the battle in Kunyang would have been rewritten.

He discussed with the generals: "The Red Eyebrow Army is close to the underworld of Zheng and Hua, and will be here soon. Now we only have Chang'an, which is about to be wiped out. It is better to command the army to plunder the property in the city and make a fortune."

From here, he turned to attack the places he passed along the way, returned east to Nanjun, and gathered the soldiers of King Wan and others.If things don't work out, just go into the lake and become a robber again. "

Bandits are bandits and they only want to plunder. How can they achieve great things?

Shen Tujian, Liao Zhan and others all agreed, so they went to persuade Emperor Gengshi together.Emperor Gengshi was furious after hearing this. He was the emperor, how could he run away in such a dejected manner and become a bandit? Naturally, he would not agree. Zhang Xun and others did not dare to say more.

When the Red Eyebrow Army established Liu Penzi as emperor, Emperor Gengshi sent Wang Kuang, Chen Mu, Cheng Dan, and Zhao Meng to garrison Xinfeng and Li Song to garrison the city, hoping to resist them.

Zhang Xuan, Liao Zhan, Hu Yin, Shen Tujian and others conspired with the imperial censor Kui Xiao and planned to use force to kidnap Emperor Gengshi when he was offering sacrifices on the Beginning of Autumn to complete the plan proposed earlier.

The servant Liu Nengqing learned of their conspiracy and reported it to Emperor Gengshi.Emperor Gengshi pretended to be ill and did not leave the palace, so he summoned Zhang Xuan and others.

When Zhang Xun and others came in, Emperor Gengshi was ready to kill them all, but only Wei Xiao could not do it.

Emperor Gengshi was suspicious and ordered Zhang Xian and four others to wait in a house outside temporarily.Zhang Xun, Liao Zhan, and Hu Yin suspected that something had happened and rushed out. Only Shentu Jian was there, and Emperor Gengshi killed him.

Zhang Xuan, Liao Zhan, and Hu Yin then led their troops to plunder the east and west cities.When it was dark, they broke into the palace and fought in the palace. Gengshi Emperor was defeated.

Early the next morning, Emperor Gengshi led his wife and more than a hundred chariots and rode eastward to Zhao Meng in Xinfeng.

At this time, Emperor Gengshi was a little suspicious and frightened. He also suspected that Wang Kuang, Chen Mu, Cheng Dan and Zhang Xuan were conspiring, so he summoned them at the same time.Chen Mu and Cheng Dan arrived first and were beheaded immediately.

Wang Kuang was naturally very frightened and led his army to Chang'an to meet up with Zhang Xuan and others.

Li Song returned to Emperor Gengshi and attacked Wang Kuang and Zhang Xuan in the city together with Zhao Meng.

Several people led the army to fight for more than a month. Wang Kuang and others were defeated, and Emperor Gengshi moved to Changxin Palace.

Good guy, our own people have beaten the brains out of pigs, and the enemies are already at the door, and they don’t know it yet.

At this time, when the Red Eyebrow Army arrived at Gaoling, Wang Kuang and others surrendered to the Red Eyebrow Army, so they marched together with the Red Eyebrow Army.Emperor Gengshi defended the city and sent Li Song to fight. Li Song was defeated and more than 2000 people were killed. The red eyebrow army captured Li Song alive.

At this time, Li Song's younger brother Li Fan was the captain of the city gate. The Red Eyebrow Army sent an envoy to Li Fan and said: "Open the city gate and spare your brother's life." Li Fan opened the city gate.

In September, the red eyebrow army entered the city.Emperor Gengshi fled alone and came out of the kitchen gate.Many women shouted from behind: "Your Majesty, you should dismount your horse and thank the city!" Emperor Gengshi dismounted his horse and thanked him, then mounted his horse and fled.

At first, the servant Liu Gong took himself to prison to plead guilty because the Red Eyebrow Army supported his younger brother Liu Penzi as emperor. When he heard that Emperor Gengshi had failed, he was released from prison. He was an extremely loyal man and followed Emperor Gengshi to Gaoling on foot. Stop at the inn.

Yan Ben, the right auxiliary captain, was afraid that the Red Eyebrow Army would not let go of Emperor Gengshi after letting him go, so he led his troops to station outside, claiming to be stationing troops to defend Gengshi Emperor, but in reality they were imprisoning him.

The Red Eyebrow Army sent a letter saying: "If the Holy Duke is willing to surrender, he will be named King of Changsha. But after 20 days, he will not accept it." Emperor Gengshi had no choice but to send Liu Gong to ask for surrender, and the Red Eyebrow Army sent him General Xie Lu went to accept the surrender.

In October, Emperor Gengshi followed Xie Lu naked to Changle Palace and presented the emperor's seal and ribbon to Liu Penzi.

The Red Eyebrow Army cursed Emperor Gengshi and placed him in the court, preparing to kill him.Liu Gong and Xie Lu interceded for Emperor Gengshi, but the Red Eyebrow Army did not agree, so they took Emperor Gengshi away.

Liu Gong chased after him and said: "I am trying my best to protect the Holy Duke. Please let me die in front of the Holy Duke." He drew his sword and was about to commit suicide. Fan Chong, the commander of the Red Eyebrow Army, and others quickly rescued him. Although they were bandits, they were very capable. He paid attention to loyalty, and when he came out to hang out, his adopted son took charge. He admired the loyal Liu Gong, so he pardoned Emperor Gengshi and made him a Marquis of Weiwei.

Liu Gong once again interceded for Emperor Gengshi, and they actually made Emperor Gengshi the King of Changsha.Emperor Gengshi often lived in Xie Lu, and Liu Gong also protected him.

When Red Eyebrow Yi entered Chang'an, the flowers gradually became charming. He was confused by the colorful world of Chang'an, and his true nature was exposed. He began to burn, kill and loot. The three assistants suffered from the tyranny of the Red Eyebrow Army and all pitied Emperor Gengshi. Zhang Xuan and others He was deeply worried and said to Xie Lu: "Now the commanders of all the battalions want to capture the Holy Duke. Once the Holy Duke is lost and everyone joins forces to attack you, you will be destroying yourself."

So Xie Lu sent his soldiers to the countryside to herd horses with Emperor Gengshi, and secretly ordered his soldiers to hang Emperor Gengshi to death.Liu Gong's eyes were red from crying. That night, he went to collect the corpse of Emperor Gengshi under the stars and the moon, wailing loudly.

Liu Xiu was very sad when he heard the news. He thought that Emperor Gengshi was also the direct grandson of the Liu family and his brother in the clan. He thought that he had the same ancestor, so he ordered the chief minister Deng Yu to bury Gengshi Emperor in Baling.

Luck is really a very mysterious thing. Take the example of rebelling and becoming an emperor. Some people tried their best, but in the end they were all in vain, and even lost the lives of their whole family. For example, Liu Xiu's eldest brother, Wang Lang, But some people became emperor effortlessly, such as Liu Xuan and Liu Zipen.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

The throne gained by luck will eventually be lost by strength, such as Liu Xuan and Liu Zipen.

Lots were drawn according to age, and Liu Penzi, who was herding cattle, was also called back. Because he was the youngest, he was the last to be drawn, and then he became the emperor. What a child's play.

In 25 AD, the Red Eyebrow Army captured Chang'an. After Liu Zipen moved into Changle Palace, there was even an incident where the rebel army killed the guard and broke into the palace directly to steal the treasure!

Liu Gong stayed in the Red Eyebrow Army for a while. Seeing that the Red Eyebrow Army was in disarray, he knew that they would be defeated. He was afraid that his brother Liu Penzi would suffer misfortune, so he secretly taught Liu Penzi to hand over the emperor's seal and ribbon and teach him how to resign from the throne.

On the first day of the first month of the second year of Jianwu (AD 26), Fan Chong and others held a grand gathering. At the banquet, Liu Gongxian said: "All the kings jointly made my brother Penzi the emperor, and the virtues of supporting him are profound. But he reigned for one year. , the chaotic situation is becoming more and more serious day by day, and it is really not enough to achieve anything. I am afraid that there will be no benefit until death, so he is willing to abdicate and become a common man, and seek a wise and wise person as the emperor. Please review it."

Fan Chong and others apologized and said, "This is all our fault."

Liu Gong insisted again. At this time, someone said: "Is it what Shihou should do if he is good at debating and abolishing the establishment?" "

This sentence hit Liu Gong's heart. Although Liu Penzi was Liu Gong's younger brother, his identity was the emperor.

Liu Gong publicly asked the emperor to abdicate, which was a terrible crime. Liu Gong was shocked and did not dare to say anything anymore. He fled out of the palace in panic. Liu Penzi's abdication could not be done. Of
