After Han Xin was demoted to the title of Marquis of Huaiyin, he knew that Liu Bang, the king of Han, was afraid of his talents. From then on, he often pretended to be sick and did not attend court meetings or travel with him. He was unhappy at home and often complained about everything. He felt that he had conquered the north and south, swept through powerful enemies in the world, won many battles, unified the country, and had as much merit as the King of Han, but in the end he felt ashamed to be on the same status as Jianghou Zhou Bo, Yingyang Hou Guanying, etc. Once, Han Xin went to visit Fan Kuai, and Fan Kuai knelt down to greet him and send him off. He said, "Your Majesty is willing to come to your home. It is really a great honor for me." After Han Xin went out, he laughed and said, "I have been ranked with Fan Kuai in this life!"
In the seventh year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang appointed Chen Xi as the governor of Julu County, and Chen Xi went to bid farewell to the Marquis of Huaiyin. Han Xin was very happy to see Chen Xi. After a while of greetings, Han Xin hosted a banquet to entertain him. After the banquet, the two of them went for a walk in the courtyard affectionately. Han Xin suddenly remembered that he had something important to say to Chen Xi, so he took Chen Xi with him. Xi's hands deliberately avoided the attendants on the left and right, and then looked up to the sky and sighed: "Hey! Things in the world are so unsatisfactory! Can you listen to my intimate words? I want to talk to you about some things in my heart."
Chen Xidao: "Everything is at the command of the general!"
Han Xindao: "The area under your jurisdiction is where the best soldiers from all over the world gather; and you are His Majesty's trusted and favored minister. If someone reports you If you rebel, your Majesty will definitely not believe it; if you report it again, your Majesty will be suspicious; if you report it three times, your Majesty will be furious and personally lead troops to encircle and suppress you. Han Xin’s great talent and great strategy. Convinced, he said: "I will definitely listen to your advice!"
After Chen Xi took office, one time, Chen Xi asked for leave to go home. When he was passing by the State of Zhao, Zhou Chang, the Prime Minister of the State of Zhao, discovered that Chen Xi There were so many people accompanying him, with more than a thousand cars alone, that all the hotels in Handan City were full at that time; and Zhou Chang also noticed that Chen Xi was generous and approachable, and got along well with his followers. He would rather wrong himself than neglect others, so he is very popular. Zhou Chang thought to himself, where did Chen Xi get such a large amount of money to support so many people and cars? There must be something wrong with his financial resources. Besides, no matter from any aspect, whether it is power or person, Chen Xi is a very important figure, and it will be terrible if this continues. After Chen Xi left, Zhou Chang reported the matter to Liu Bang.
Zhou Chang said: "Chen Xi's return home was so grand, with many people and vehicles accompanying him. I think he has monopolized military power and has been stationed at the border for a long time. He has formed a huge force. I'm afraid he will There will be a plan to rebel!" Liu Bang, the king of Han, felt it was very reasonable. So, they quickly sent people to investigate in detail. As a result, there were indeed many problems, and most of them involved Chen Xi.
Chen Xi soon received the news and felt that something was wrong. He was very frightened and thought that his own affairs could not escape this disaster. Just don't do one thing and keep doing the other thing, which is the opposite. So he secretly sent his capable assistants to contact Wang Huang and Manchu Chen to discuss the rebellion with them. In July of the 10th year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang's father passed away, and Liu Bang secretly planned to use this opportunity to summon Chen Xi and capture him without mercy. Unexpectedly, Chen Xi failed to take advantage of his illness. In September, Chen Xi rebelled and declared himself King of Dai. He occupied Zhao and Dai with lightning speed.
Chen Xi rebelled, and Han Xin hurriedly asked for sick leave from the King of Han, saying that he had chest tightness, head swelling, and no appetite for many days. Liu Bang, the king of Han, had no choice but to personally lead his troops to conquer.
After Liu Bang went on the expedition, Han Xin became uneasy every day. He recalled that he had made a wish to Chen Xi, so he secretly sent someone to Chen Xi and said: "Just raise troops, I will help you here." So he discussed with his retainers and falsely issued an edict at night to pardon the criminals and slaves serving in various government offices, planning to mobilize them to attack Empress Lu and the prince. All arrangements were completed and they were just waiting for news from Chen Xi.
As the saying goes: If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. All of Han Xin's plots and actions were learned by one of his disciples who was about to be beheaded. The disciple hurriedly passed the news to his younger brother Luan. Luan Yuan quickly reported Han Xin's preparations for rebellion to Empress Lu.
When Queen Lu Pheasant heard this, she was shocked and thought to herself: What should we do? How could we capture such a fierce tiger?
Lu Pheasant thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that Han Xin was recommended by Xiao He. People, the one who untie the bell must tie the bell! With such attention, I wonder what Xiao He will do? So, he hurriedly recruited Xiao He into Changle Palace.
Xiao He soon arrived at Changle Palace. Lu Pheasant said: Prime Minister Xiao He! Han Xin, the hero you recommended, was accused of preparing to rebel. When Xiao He heard this, his hair stood on end. He deeply felt that Queen Lu Pheasant There was something in his words, which seemed to be referring to him. He felt the seriousness of the matter. If Han Xin really rebelled, the consequences would be disastrous. The King of Han was suppressing the rebellion at the front, and there was a sudden fire in the backyard. The war beacon would probably be ignited again, and when would all life be ruined? Hugh! Han Xin, good brother! I don’t care so much whether you rebel or not. I only blame you for your bad intentions! So, I offered a plan to Lu Pheasant and hurried to Han Xin’s mansion.
Xiao He came to Han Xin's mansion and saw that he was alert as usual, so he boldly went straight to Han Xin's main hall. Han Xin happened to be busy in the living room. When he saw Xiao He coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him and greeted him with polite words. Afterwards, Xiao He said: "When Liu Bang, the king of Han, returned from suppressing the rebellion, he heard that Chen Xi had been captured and executed. All the princes and ministers came to congratulate you. You are in poor health and have been absent from government affairs. How can you ignore such a big matter? You If you don't go, the King of Han will definitely become suspicious, which will also arouse the suspicion of more ministers. It's better to go for a walk!" As Xiao He said this, he got up and took Han Xin and left. Han Xin couldn't shirk Xiao He's troubles, and Han Xin couldn't shirk Xiao He's troubles. He got up and left the mansion with Xiao He. The two were walking and chatting, and they arrived at Changle Palace before they knew it. Han Xin suddenly woke up from a dream and asked Xiao He, "Aren't we here to see the King of Han? Is this?" Xiao He said, "The King of Han is not here, and Empress Lu wants to summon you." As soon as Ying fell, Xiao He left in a hurry. Han Xin suddenly felt bad and wanted to turn around and retreat, but it was too late. He only heard Lu Pheasant shout: "Zhong samurai, tie me up!" In an instant, more than ten warriors swarmed forward. Han Xin did not flinch or resist, he just held his head high and laughed and said: "What crime have I committed!?" Still looking like a hero.
Lu Pheasant said: "You have committed the crime of treason, and the king asked me to kill you!"
Han Xin said: "That won't work, the king has made me immortal! I want this. You have to talk to the king face to face."
Lu Pheasant said: "You can't see the king anymore. Look where you are."
Han Xin looked around and looked up. Seeing that the ceiling was so tightly covered that no trace of sky could be seen, and looking down at the blankets on the floor, no trace of sky or earth could be seen, and the king could not be seen, and I couldn't help but feel quite cold. Before Han Xin could tell, Lu Pheasant said again: "The king will grant you the title of "Three Immortals". We all followed the king's wishes. You have nothing to say, right?" After saying that, he waved his hand, and dozens of palace maids on both sides, all holding clubs and hammers, swarmed up, surrounded them, and beat them randomly.
Han Xin had no strength to resist. Feeling sad, filled with regret, and filled with tears that turned into blood, he lamented: *** said: "If I had known this, why didn't I listen to Jing Che's words! This is what fate is! Woohoo!" Then, Died in Changle Palace
