Although Liu An, a rebellious family, was only one of many Han clansmen in the Western Han Dynasty, he was the son of Chang Lu and the grandson of Gao Zu Liu Bang. Liu grew up under Liu Bang's wife and is an adopted son. He is the prince of Liu Bang's philosophers, second only to Liu Ying. But after Lv Hou's death, the ministers of the Western Han Dynasty overthrew Lv Hou and made Liu Heng emperor. On merit, Liu Heng can't compare with Liu Fei's children and on birth, he can't compare with Liu Chang. As a result, he actually picked up a leak and became the new king of the Western Han Dynasty.
Chang Lu naturally felt aggrieved. During the reign of Liu Heng, Liu Chang rebelled in Gukou County with 70 people. Obviously, this was an absurd rebellion, which was quickly eliminated by the imperial court. Liu Chang was also escorted into Beijing and obeyed. Ministers demanded the execution of Liu Chang, but Liu Heng, the emperor of China, refused to kill his younger brother, pardoned Liu Chang for his death, deposed his throne and sent him to Shu. Therefore, Liu Chang is also a coward, but he doesn't want to bow to the Chinese Emperor. On the way, people starved to death. Emperor Wen of Han pardoned the descendants of Liu Chang and continued to make them king of Huainan.
Liu An saw his father die of rebellion, and Liu Changzhi felt that when he became a great-grandfather, the throne should have been his, so Liu An planted the seeds of rebellion in his heart. Especially after he operated in the fief for several years, this idea became stronger and stronger. Including his children, his money and the monarch are very supportive of Liu An's rebellion. In addition, Liu Ling also brought a lot of money to the capital of the Western Han Dynasty to woo officials, make friends with powerful people, and prepare for the future rebellion.
On paper, although Liu An intends to rebel, it is estimated that it has been planned for N years. Maybe he learned from his father Liu Changzao's anti-aging experience, but he was too slow to do it. It is estimated that Liu An was old later, fearing that he would not have a chance to achieve great things without starting work, so he wanted to raise an army when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty toured Huainan. To be on the safe side, Liu An wanted to bribe General Li Guang, and Li Guangxian went to Huainan. As a result, Li Guang was unmoved and went back to tell Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Of course, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty won't go to Huainan again, so Liu An's rebellion plot was stillborn. Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty became wary of Liu Anyou, so he sent someone to beat Liu An.
Later, Liu An's family went to the Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty and reported that Liu Qian, Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, prevented him from joining the army and attacking the Huns. Liu An lived in fear, but he still didn't make up his mind to send troops to the uprising. However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was resolute and did not hesitate to send someone to Huainan to investigate and collect evidence and ask for money. In the end, Liu An didn't dare to rebel, but on the other hand, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave him a tailor-made charge. Liu An thought he was going to die, so he committed suicide in Huainan, ending his dream of rebellion.
Inventing Tofu Although Liu An failed repeatedly on the road of rebellion, people gained a lot on the road of seeking immortality. It is said that there was a famous warlock in the Han Dynasty who sought immortality? Hachi? (eight people), that is, Liu An's people who have the ability to refine elixir. Originally, Liu An wanted to refine this elixir, and this Liu An was also a greedy man. While plotting to usurp the throne and seize power, I wanted to get the elixir in advance. As a result, the elixir was not practiced and tofu was made. Although this kind of bean curd is not an elixir to make people live forever, it has a health preserving function, and Liu An became the inventor of this kind of bean curd.
