People always have selfish motives. The main reason why Liu Xin was reluctant to establish a prince was of course that he did not want to hand over the country he had worked so hard to build to an unrelated person. [However, Liu Xin and Ma Yun never thought of depriving them of it.
Liu Bang's life was taken to end this dispute over the throne.
However, people are not as good as God, Liu Bang actually made such a move at such a critical moment. Ma Yun couldn't help but look at him again, suddenly sighed, shook her head, turned to a scribe and said: "You
Tell him the law of the great man."
Liu Bang still didn't know that the danger was slowly approaching. He raised his head blankly and said slowly: "Mother, those children of the law all know this."
Ma Yun was so angry that she slapped the cases in front of her with a loud bang and yelled: "Bold Liu Bang, know the law and break the law, the crime will be increased! Have you never thought that robbing a girl is a capital crime?"
Someone come!”
The guards on the left and right shouted in unison, and swarmed forward to take someone. Liu Bang was timid by nature. When he heard the word "death penalty", he couldn't help but scream, fell back, and fell unconscious on the spot. This case
The trial cannot continue for the time being.[
However, countless people were watching outside the lobby. If he announced his resignation like this, it would be difficult to convince the people, especially since the law that the prince committed the same crime as the common people would probably become a piece of paper. Ma Yun hesitated for a moment, but still ordered the bodyguard to go.
The medical school invited two gentlemen, Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo, and announced on the spot that Liu Bang would be executed by execution. After he was revived, he went to Chang'an Street to be executed.
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar inside and outside the hall. Many people believed that the prince's crime was not just an empty talk like the common people. Of course, some people still did not believe it and secretly questioned whether Ma Yun would use tactics such as subversion.
, just find a death row inmate with a similar body shape to replace Liu Bang.
At this moment, Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo rushed over together, took Liu Bang's pulse, opened his eyelids and looked at him. They all shook their heads, raised their hands and said, "Empress Qi, please forgive me.
, prepare the funeral arrangements for the eldest prince."
It turned out that Liu Bang had been frightened when he was stabbed by Zhen Mi, and according to Zhang Ji's diagnosis, he should rest. As a result, not only was Zhu Rong carrying his neck and running all the way, but now he heard that Ma Yun wanted to punish him with death.
The surprise was so serious that he was killed on the spot.
Ma Yun sighed secretly. Although she didn't feel much sadness, she could only show a look of pain. After a while, she said to Zhen Mi: "Miss Zhen, now that Liu Bang is dead, I think execution is unnecessary. You
Are there any other requirements?"
If you were in Hebei, don't say that Liu Bang was a prince, even if he was just a relatively powerful son of aristocratic family, if he was robbed, he would be robbed. As a big family, the Zhen family would not make it known everywhere when encountering such a thing.
She contacted someone privately and was lucky to be able to bring her back. There was no guarantee that she would be intact. Now, Ma Yun not only wanted to punish Liu Bang for the death penalty, but also scared Liu Bang to death on the spot. How could Zhen Mi dare to mention it again?
For other requests, he hurriedly waved his hands and said: "There are no more civilian girls."
Ma Yun took out a piece of white silk, wiped off the blood on the flying knife, handed it to Zhen Mi again, nodded and said: "This knife is for your self-defense, you put it away and go back with me. Wait for me
Your Majesty, the Palace Ming Ming, will give you an explanation."
Zhen Mi's little heart was still beating "thump, thump" non-stop. She still dared to talk to Ma Yun more, so she had to hang her head and follow Ma Yun back to the palace. Liu Bang's body was found by the Chang'an Mansion.
The government officials carried a stretcher, covered it with a white cloth, and parked it in the lobby for the time being. How to deal with it had to be reported to Liu Xin before he could decide. From the beginning to the end, Ma Yun did not shed a tear. She couldn't pretend. But in front of those common people
It seems that the respected Queen Ma was so angry at her son's evil deeds that no one questioned her, but instead respected her even more.
Returning to the harem, Ma Yun sent someone to report the matter to Liu Xin, while blaming Zhen Mi and said: "Although Chang'an City has good security, you should not go out alone."
Zhen Mi lowered her head and murmured: "It is very close to the girl's home, and there are many soldiers patrolling the streets. In broad daylight, the girl never thought that anyone would dare to do such a thing. Now the girl has killed the prince.
, the daughter of the people is willing to let the empress do what she wants without any complaints."
It turns out that Dongcheng District is not a commercial center, but there are two kinds of businesses that are very popular. One is antique shops, and the other is bookstores. Zhen Mi likes to read, and the largest bookstore in Dongcheng District is just a stone's throw from the courtyard she rents.
Yao, she goes shopping almost every day and has never had any problems. Zhen Mi, on the other hand, has a quiet temperament and doesn't like the domestic slaves following behind, which leads to big trouble.
Ma Yun waved her hand and said: "I can't blame you for this matter. It's all my fault for teaching my son Fang, who made you frightened. Don't worry, Your Majesty is a reasonable person and will never blame you for this matter, let alone
It will embarrass your Zhen family."
Today is the day when Liu Xin goes to court. Various undertakings in the Han Dynasty are developing rapidly, and there are not many important things to discuss. Just when Liu Xin was about to announce the dissolution of the dynasty, he got this shocking news, and had to tell everyone about it.
Wen Wu said: "The evil son committed such a heinous crime, and it is really his own fault. Although I am heartbroken, I can't blame others. Now you finally know, it is not just an empty talk that the prince breaks the law and the common people are guilty. As long as he violates the laws of the Han Dynasty,
Even my sons cannot escape punishment. I also ask you all to teach your children and grandchildren well when you go back to avoid making the same mistakes I made!"
All the civil and military officials were shocked when they heard the news. Although these generals led by Zhang Fei and Guan Yu did not like Liu Bang, they only knew that he was Liu Xin's son, which made them a little sad. Cheng Yu, who originally supported Liu Bang as the crown prince,
, Guo Jia and others sighed, their wish to establish Liu Bang as the heir apparent was completely in vain.
Most of Cheng Yu and others came from Yingchuan Academy, and Sima Hui was their teacher. The master of heaven and earth, the teacher's status was more important than the chief. Liu Xin unified the Han Dynasty, and as veterans who followed Liu Xin, they also held important positions.
, and their status became prominent for a while. However, they were all virtuous people, so naturally they could not forget the kindness of their teacher's teachings, so they could not help but take the time to visit their teacher. Sima Hui took this opportunity to instill in them the principle of establishing eldest son and descending line.
That's why they spared no effort to persuade Liu Xin to appoint Liu Bang as his heir. However, these people were still loyal to the Liu family dynasty, and they did not know Sima Hui's ambitions.
The only exception is Chen Gong. Chen Gong was originally a staunch supporter of making Liu Bang the crown prince, but he was an upright person. He asked to make Liu Bang the crown prince purely out of public interest. He was worried that the unclear legislation would lead to princes competing for the throne.
The situation of fratricide. Therefore, Liu Bang's death did not have much impact on Chen Gong. He cupped his hand and said: "The death of the eldest prince is really deserved. Please express your condolences. It's just that
The woman who dared to stab the eldest prince with a knife must be handed over to the Ministry of Punishments for severe punishment according to law!"
Liu Xin shook his head and said: "That woman is really an innocent person. He stabbed Liu Bang out of self-defense. What crime is she guilty of? Gongtai, you also have a daughter. If your daughter meets Liu Bang on the street,
If you see a gangster, should you just let them rape you without making any move to resist?"
Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, then raised his hands and said, "What if someone takes this as an excuse to kill someone intentionally?"
This did not trouble Liu Xin. He frowned and said: "Everything should have a degree. For example, this woman just stabbed Liu Bang's flesh and did not cause any serious harm. It was legitimate defense. If she
If the knife stabbed the person directly to death, it would be suspected of excessive defense. However, the specific situation must be determined through on-site investigation and cannot be generalized."[
But Cai Yong came out and said: "Your Majesty, although the eldest prince deserves his punishment, as a prince, he will still be buried properly. Please build the mausoleum for the eldest prince, and the construction of the emperor's mausoleum should start as soon as possible."
The ancients paid great attention to matters after death. Many wealthy and powerful people began to choose geomantic treasures and build their own mausoleums before they were alive. Emperors of all dynasties began to build their own mausoleums from the day they ascended the throne, and Liu Xin has already ascended the throne.
It has been two years, but this project has not been carried out. Cai Yong is the Minister of Rites, and this matter falls within the scope of his responsibilities. He has reminded Liu Xin several times, and even blew the pillow wind through Cai Yan, and Liu Xin
He just ignored it. At that time, Liu Xin was still young, and the Han Dynasty was still in war, so it was not convenient for Cai Yong to persuade him for a long time. Now that the world is calm and Liu Bang died unexpectedly, Cai Yong made the request again at the right time.
When it came to building the mausoleum, the hall suddenly became lively. The ministers were no less enthusiastic about this matter than the dispute over establishing a prince, and their opinions were surprisingly unanimous. They all seconded the proposal, saying that this matter was related to the country's foundation and must be done early.
Decision. Xiang Lang even stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have already sent people to survey the geography around Chang'an, selected four geomantic treasures, and drawn the drawings. Please make your decision."
Liu Xin didn't find it funny. When a person dies, there is nothing. So what does it matter no matter how good the Feng Shui location is? Emperors in the past dynasties were not keen on building magnificent mausoleums, but which one can be passed down for thousands of generations?
Looking at Xiang Lang who was full of excitement, Liu Xin suddenly raised his hand and said: "Juda, we can discuss the matter of the mausoleum later. Since you have surveyed several geomantic treasures, why not build a heroes cemetery so that everyone can
Those who have made contributions to the Han Dynasty can be buried there after their death and receive sacrifices from the court and the people at all times."
Cheng Yu stood up and said: "Your Majesty has a broad mind, and I admire you, but the construction of the mausoleum is a major national matter. It can be built at the same time as the hero's cemetery that your Majesty proposed, without delay. I hope your Majesty will give you permission."
