How did Herry Liu, the prince of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, die?
Herry Liu, Prince of Wei (128-9 1), the eldest son of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, was the half-brother of Emperor Zhao of Han Dynasty. Mother is Queen Wei.

Liu Ji was born in the spring of the first year of Yuan Shuo (BC 128) and was crowned Crown Prince in the first year of Yuan Shou (BC 122). After Liu Chengnian, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty often traveled around the world, handing over state affairs to. The prince's generous administration has repeatedly rehabilitated unjust cases and won the hearts of the people. In the second year of Zhenghe (9 1 year ago), Herry Liu was framed by Jiang Chong and Han Shuo in the witch disaster. Because I can't speak for myself, I rose up against Jiang Chong and others. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty mistakenly believed in lies, thought it changed, and sent troops to suppress it. Herry Liu fled in defeat and finally committed suicide by refusing to be arrested and humiliated.

After the injustice was rehabilitated, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought about the uterus and returned to the platform of thinking to send his grief. Xuan Di Liu Xun, Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, became angry with his grandfather Liu Zhijia and posthumous title, rebuilt the mausoleum and offered sacrifices.

However, this disaster did not end with the death of GongSunHe and his son. In April of Zheng He's second year (92 years ago), Princess He was executed for witchcraft, including Wei Heng, son of Wei Qing, and Cao Zong, son of Wei princess royal.

Later, Liang Wudi fell ill while traveling in Ganquan Palace. Seeing that Liang Wudi was getting on in years, Jiang Chong treated Liu Yuxin with harsh words, and had bad blood with Liu Yi and Wei's before, fearing that Liang Wudi would be killed by Liu Yi after his death, he wanted to frame Liu Yi first. In other words, it is said that Emperor Wu fell ill because someone cursed the son of heaven with witchcraft. So Liang Wudi appointed Jiang Chong as an envoy to cure the witch case. Jiang Chong directed wizards to dig around for puppets. When they found them, they arrested people around them and tortured them to extract confessions. People dare not falsely accuse each other, so there are tens of thousands of people before and after.

At this time, the world is in a state of panic, and Shi Jing Sanfu is also shrouded in a panic atmosphere. However, because of his advanced age and physical illness, Emperor Wu became more and more convinced of witchcraft. Jiang Chong took the opportunity to say that there was witchcraft in the palace, which made the illness of the son of heaven incurable for a long time. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Hou, Huang Mensu and others to help Jiang Chong cure diseases. Jiang Chong began to investigate from the unloved wife in the harem, and then extended to Wei Ruyun Zifu. However, after nothing was found in the Queen's Palace, in the autumn and July of Zheng He's second year, Jiang Chong finally dug Tieru into the East Palace of the Prince and got the Mu Tong doll.

Liu Yi didn't expect to dig up a doll in his palace. He was shocked. At this time, Emperor Wu was recovering from illness in the palace of Ganquan, and there was no news. Liu Yi couldn't prove his innocence to Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, so he invited the young Fu Shide to ask for advice. Fearing that he would be put to death together because he was the prince's master, Shi De said to the prince, "Before this, the Prime Minister and his son, the two princesses and the Wei family were all involved in this matter. Now Hu Wu and the officials who came to investigate the matter dug it up. " I don't know if Hu Wu put it there on purpose or if it really exists. We cannot defend ourselves. We can pretend to be imperial edicts and use Jeff to put Jiang Chong and others in prison, and clearly trace their treacherous plots. Besides, the emperor is recovering from illness in Ganquan Palace, and the subordinate officials of the queen and the prince have not heard from him. The emperor's life and death are unknown. Now that a traitor has done such a thing, don't you remember the murder of Fu Su, the king of Qin? Liu was at his wit's end, so he had to take good advice.

Go away and cover this angle.

At noon in July of Zheng He's second year (1992), according to Liu, he sent people pretending to be messengers to catch Jiang Chong. Han said that he suspected fraud and refused to accept the letter, so Liu sent someone to imitate Zhu Hai to save Zhao and kill Han. Zhang Qian, the remonstrance officer who assisted Jiang Chong in handling this case, escaped and went to Ganquan Palace to see Emperor Wu.

Liu Ji, who committed the crime of rectifying imperial edicts, decided to arise because he didn't know whether Emperor Wu was still alive. Because the prince can command limited chariots and horses, Liu sent Scheeren to report to Changqiu overnight. With the support of the queen, she mobilized the palace chariots and horses, took out weapons from the armory, transferred the guards of Changle Palace, and accused Guan Baijiang of rebellion. The prince personally supervised Jiang Chong. Scold: "Zhao's slave! Isn't it enough to disturb your king and son? Disturb our father and son again! " Also burned a group of conference wizards in Shanglinyuan. Su Wen escaped from Chang 'an and went to Ganquan Palace to report the disgraceful events of the Prince to Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "The prince must have been afraid and resentful of Jiang Chong and others, so this change took place. So he sent messengers to call the prince. However, the emissary dared not enter the city because of timidity, and lied to Emperor Wu that the prince rebelled and wanted to kill himself. Emperor Wu was furious because he was sure that the prince had rebelled.

Prior to this, Liu Quli, the left prime minister, and Li Guangli were in-laws, and personally fought against the Prince. Liu Zhaolian took his guests as his generals, led the guards into the Prime Minister's residence, and tried to kill Liu Quli. Liu Quli escaped and lost his official seal and ribbon. Prime Minister Changshi drove to Ganquan Palace and reported the matter to Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu asked the Prime Minister what Liu Quli was doing, and the messenger replied that the Prime Minister blocked the news and did not dare to send troops. Emperor Wu angered Liu Quli and condemned Liu Quli for not having the will of the Duke of Zhou. Later, I gave Liu Quli a decree: "If I kill the rebels, there must be clear rewards and punishments. Use ox cart as cover, don't fight with rebels, kill too many soldiers! Hold the gate and never let the rebels rush out of Chang 'an! "

Fu Su, for example, faced the situation that there were fake books in Zhao's master. In the face of Liu Quli's imperial book, which he didn't know was true or false but wanted to commit suicide, Liu issued an order to Wenwu Baiguan: "The emperor was trapped in Ganquan Palace because of illness. I suspect that something may have changed. The traitor wants to take the opportunity to rebel. " Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty then returned from Ganquan Palace and went to Zhangjian Palace in the west of Chang 'an, taking the lead in controlling the military power, and ordered to recruit troops from counties near Sanfu, and deployed officials below 2,000 stones to Liu Quli for part-time management. According to Liu, there is no regular army in his hand, and three auxiliary armies cannot be dispatched. The prince sent messengers to falsely preach the imperial edict, pardoned and released the prisoners held in Zhongduguan, Chang 'an, and ordered Shao Fushide and disciple Zhang Guang to govern separately. He also sent Hou and other prisoners to Chang 'an, and they were armed to the teeth with the Hu people cavalry who met in Changshui and Xuanqu.

Coincidentally, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also thought of Hu Bing, commander of Changshui Xuanqu, and sent assistant minister Mang to Chang 'an. While arresting Hou, Mang Tong told the Hu people, "If what Hou brought is false, he can't handle it!" And beheaded Ruhou personally led Changshui Xuanqu Hu to ride into Chang 'an. Emperor Wu of the Qing Dynasty also recruited soldiers and handed them over to Daegu Hongcheng. The prince's transfer of troops ended in failure.

Then, according to Liu, he came to the south gate of the northern army barracks, stood in the car, summoned Ren An, the envoy to protect the northern army, granted it, and ordered Ren An to send his troops. But Ren went back to camp after Amber Festival and stayed at home. The prince's redeployment failed again.

The prince left with the guards prisoners and temporarily armed tens of thousands of people in Chang' an four cities. Outside the west gate of Changle Palace, we met an army led by Liu Quli. The two sides fought fiercely for five days and tens of thousands of people died. Blood stays in the ditch in the street like water. People all say that "the prince conspires", so people don't attach themselves to the prince, and the power on the side of the prime minister is growing.

On the day of Gengyin in July, Liu was defeated and fled south, covering Chang 'an Angmen. Director Tian leads his department to guard the city gate. Because he felt that the Prince and Emperor Wu were father and son, he didn't want to push him too hard, so he was able to escape from the city.

After Liu escaped, Liang Wudi asked the physician to stop the prime minister from hacking the prince out of the city without authorization, and suddenly and violently defeated himself for fear. Ren An hesitated and was punished with Ren Tianyi. Mangtong captured a rebel general, such as Hou, and Chang 'an Man Jingtong captured a young prince, Fu Shide, who made the greatest contribution. They were named Coincidence Hou and Dehou respectively, Shangqiu became a successful soldier, and Zhang Guang was named Qi Hou. All the guests of the prince who once went in and out of the palace gate were executed; Anyone who follows the prince to send troops will be extinct according to the crime of rebellion; Officials and soldiers who took advantage of the chaos were exiled to Dunhuang County. Because the prince fled abroad, he began to set up garrison troops at the gate of Chang 'an.

A series of punishments made ministers worry and fear, and they didn't know what to do. Elder Hu Guansan ordered Gu Mao to present a letter of grievance against the Prince to Emperor Wu. He said: "I heard that the father is like the sky, the mother is like the earth, and the son is like everything in the world. Therefore, only when the sky is fixed and the earth is safe can everything flourish." Only when the father is kind and the mother is kind can the son be filial. Today's Crown Prince is the legal heir of the Han Dynasty, who will inherit the great cause of eternal life and carry out the great trust of his ancestors, and is the eldest son of the emperor in relation. Jiang Chong was originally a civilian, but he was a slave in the street. However, your majesty attached great importance to him, and asked him to persecute the Crown Prince with the highest order, rally a group of wicked villains, fraudulently plant and persecute the Crown Prince, so that the relationship between your majesty and the prince and his son could not be communicated. When the prince entered the DPRK, he could not see the emperor, and when he left the DPRK, he was framed by the chaotic ministers. He was wronged alone and had nowhere to complain. He couldn't help feeling resentful and killed Jiang Chong, but he was forced to flee for fear that the emperor would punish him. As the son of your majesty, the prince stole his father's army just to save himself from being framed by others. I don't think there is any evil intention. The Book of Songs says:' The bluefly comes and goes down the fence, and the gentleman doesn't believe it. Otherwise, there will be endless slander and chaos in the world. "Before, everyone knew that Jiang Chong killed Prince Zhao with slanderers. Now, without investigation, your majesty excessively accused the prince, went on the rampage, called the army to hunt down the prince, and ordered the prime minister to take charge himself, making it difficult for the wise and the eloquent to speak. I really regret it in my heart I hope your majesty will relax and calm down, don't criticize your relatives, don't be bitter about the mistakes of the prince, immediately end the conquest of the prince and don't let the prince escape for a long time! I am loyal to your majesty and ready to give my short life to be punished outside Zhang Jian Palace. " When the memorial was handed up, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was moved and awakened, but he did not publicly issue a pardon order.

According to Liu, he fled to Huxian, where he belongs, and hid in a family's spring pigeon. It is 30 miles from Tongguan in the west, 300 miles from Chang 'an in the east and 80 miles from Hanguguan in the east. Close to the traffic post road that ran through the customs at that time, hidden in the canyon. This position is very dangerous. The master's family is poor, and he often weaves and sells straw sandals to support the prince. Later, Liu heard that there lived a rich old acquaintance in Huxian county, so he sent someone to look for him, but the news leaked out. 19 1 1 In August, local officials rounded up the prince. Liu Yi, the vice king of the State Reserve for thirty-eight years, didn't want to be arrested and humiliated by the courtiers who trapped him here, and he died. Among the soldiers who came to search, there was a Yang Shan named Zhang Fuchang who kicked the door open with his feet. Li Shou, the magistrate of Xin 'an County, ran forward and untied the prince. The master died in the battle with the man looking for the prince, and the two grandchildren who fled with the prince were also killed together. After Wang Wei's defeat, his wife Shi Liangdi, his eldest son Liu Jin, his daughter-in-law Wang Wengxu and his daughter (the granddaughter of the emperor) were all killed in Chang 'an.
