Lu Wan's rebellion dealt a huge blow to Liu Bang. It can be said that Liu Bang was angered to death by Lu Wan. Of course, this is not unrelated to Liu Bang's inability to control his temper and his irregular diet when he returned home.
Liu Bang was injured by Yingbu's arrow, and Lu Pheasant hurriedly sent an imperial doctor there. Liu Bang asked the imperial doctor if his illness could be cured. The imperial doctor said it could. Liu Bang suddenly cursed: "I am a commoner. I can conquer the world by slaying a white snake with a three-foot sword. Isn't this destiny? Since my destiny is in the sky, even if I am weak, I will not be cured." What benefit does the magpie do to me?"
Life and death are determined by destiny, wealth is in heaven, this is the sigh often expressed by many losers. Xiang Yu was defeated and fell down, sighing, "It is not a crime of using soldiers to kill me." When Han Xin was about to die, he also said, "I didn't use Kuai Tong's plan, but I was deceived by a woman. Isn't it God's fault?" As everyone knows, it's up to people to plan things. Since there is no need for strategy, it is not surprising to die.
The imperial doctor was rewarded by Liu Bang, but Liu Bang kicked him out. If you don't get medical treatment, you will die of illness. When a person is terminally ill, an imperial doctor comes to treat the illness, but he says that he must obey God's orders. Isn't the imperial doctor sent by God? Ordinary people just want to see miracles. However, if we don’t take action, how can there be miracles?
Seeing that Liu Bang was dying, Lu Pheasant asked: "After you die, if Xiao He follows you, who can replace Xiao He?" Liu Bang said that Cao Shen can. Lu Pheasant asked Cao Shen who would be able to take on the big job after him. Liu Bang said that Wang Ling was straightforward, Chen Ping was wise, and Zhou Bo, who was dull, these three people would definitely be able to preserve the Han Dynasty. Lu Pheasant asked again, and Liu Bang didn't know. People can't predict the future.
In fact, this problem is a big problem that Liu Bang left to Lu Pheasant. Each of these guys is more difficult to deal with than the last.
Xiao He was diligent and dedicated to the Liu family, which can be regarded as an example. If he could use it for his own use, Xiao He would be of great help to Lu Pheasant.
Cao Shen is a man who is confused on the outside but shrewd on the inside. If Lu Pheasant wants to take power, he must consider Cao Shen's obstacles.
The king's mausoleum has a straight belly, which will definitely hinder Lu Pheasant from taking power.
Zhou Bo was brave and brave, but Chen Ping followed suit.
Chen Ping looked ordinary, but Lu Zhi couldn't tell how deep he was. What was even more troublesome was that Chen Ping and Guan Ying led 100,000 troops to garrison Xingyang, and Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo led 200,000 troops to garrison Yan Dynasty. Lu Pheasant was killed immediately if he was not careful.
Liu Bang died for several days, and Lu Pheasant did not mourn. Lu Pheasant wanted to take power, but he was worried about the opposition of Chen Ping, Guan Ying, Zhou Bo and other ministers, so he thought hard about strategies. Seeing Lu Fei's frown, his favored ministers reviewed his suggestions and said: "The founding heroes are common people just like the emperor. After winning the world, the generals, as ministers, feel very uncomfortable. The emperor is dead, let all the generals feel very uncomfortable. Will obey the new emperor, there is only one way to kill them all."
The timid Shen Shi only wanted the ministers to submit to Liu Ying, but Lu Pheasant had a bigger appetite. She wanted the ministers to submit to her. Shen Shiqi is right. Only by killing the ministers can the smooth transition of power be ensured. As long as the ministers are killed, no one will dare to say, "If the Liu family is not killed, they will be killed." As long as all the heroes are dead, Lu Pheasant can take charge of the world, and the Liu family's world will become the Lu family's world.
The news of the emperor's death reached Li Shang's ears. He saw through Lu Fei's plot and threatened Shen Shi, saying: "I heard that the emperor passed away, but it's been four days and you haven't mourned yet. Do you want to kill the founding generals first? If you really do this , then the Han Dynasty would be in danger. Chen Ping and Guan Ying led 100,000 troops to garrison Xingyang, and Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo led 200,000 troops to garrison Yan Dynasty. When they heard that after the emperor's death, they would be executed, they would definitely lead troops to counterattack. In this case, if the ministers rebel internally and the generals rebel externally, you just sit there with your feet crossed and wait to die."
Li Shang's words were like the beating of drums in the army, awakening Lü pheasant from his dream. Lu Pheasant was obsessed with taking power and had his own desires. His thoughts were obscured, and he only felt that what he said was right. Shen Shi is right, but it is not feasible. If it is implemented rashly, it will lead to the disaster of rebellion by military officers and rebellion by civil servants. Once the ministers rebelled, Lu Pheasant's dream of taking power was shattered.
Lu Pheasant thought that the only way to delay the attack was to wait and see what Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, Guan Ying and others did. If Chen Ping, Zhou Bo and others know each other, Lu Pheasant and them will be in peace for the time being, otherwise, a big war will be inevitable.
On the 18th day of the second lunar month, Lv Zhi was mourned and a general amnesty was granted to the whole country.
After death, a person becomes a corpse, and those who are not yet dead can dispose of it however they want. Liu Bang chopped Peng Yue into mincemeat, and Lu Fei delayed mourning him. In fact, there is not much difference.
On May 17, Liu Bang was buried in Changling (now northeast of Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province). Liu Ying succeeded to the throne at the age of sixteen.
"Historical Records" records that after Liu Bang's death, the officials felt that "Gaozu was the first to set things right in troubled times, and brought peace to the world. He was the Taizu of the Han Dynasty and had the highest merit." They respected him as Emperor Gao. Later generations called Liu Bang the emperor of the Han Dynasty and Liu Ying the emperor Hui.
After Liu Bang's death, Lu Pheasant wanted to find fault with the ministers, take the opportunity to eradicate him, and pave the way for him to take power. Chen Ping happened to hit Lu Pheasant's knife edge.
Lu Wan rebelled and Liu Bang fell seriously ill, so he ordered Fan Kuai to lead an army to conquer. Liu Bang was dizzy due to illness. When he heard that Fan Kuai was a member of Lu Fei's party and wanted to kill his beloved son Liu Ruyi and his concubine Qi, he immediately became angry and said: "Fan Kuai saw that I was seriously ill and wanted to kill me." Son, I will kill my beauty first." Chen Ping and Zhou Bo were ordered to go to the army and kill Fan Kuai.
Once, at the Hongmen Banquet, the brave Fan Kuai saved Liu Bang's life. Liu Bang relied on him when he was conquering the world, and he also relied on him when he was defending the world. Liu Bang put down the rebellions of various princes, and Fan Kuai made great achievements almost every time. Liu Bang loved Fan Kuai's bravery, but also feared his bravery. Fan Kuai was Lv Zhi's brother-in-law. Liu Bang was worried that after his death, Fan Kuai would turn to Lv Zhi and kill Qi Ji and Liu Ruyi. Before Liu Bang died, Fan Kuai wanted to kill Qi Ji and her son. How could Liu Bang not hate him?
This task was really embarrassing for Chen Ping. If he didn't kill Fan Kuai, he would be disobeying the order. If he killed him, there would be endless troubles. First of all, Fan Kuai has made great achievements many times and is an important member of the imperial court. Secondly, Fan Kuai is Lu Pheasant's brother-in-law. If someone slanders him, Lu Pheasant will reach out to Chen Ping.
Chen Ping and Zhou Bo went to receive the imperial edict. Chen Ping was worried about Lu Pheasant's revenge, so he said to Zhou Bo: "Fan Kuai is an old friend of the emperor, and he has made great contributions. In addition, he is Lu Pheasant's brother-in-law, a relative of the royal family, and a nobleman of the court. Your Majesty We were angry for a moment and asked us to kill him. What if the emperor suddenly regrets it? We should capture Fan Kuai first, take him to Chang'an, and let the emperor punish him." Chen Ping is really powerful. In this way, if Liu Bang kills Fan Kuai, the responsibility will not be with him. On him; if Liu Bang releases Fan Kuai leniently, he will be Fan Kuai's benefactor, Liu Bang's good helper, and Lu Fei's nobleman. Chen Ping's move removed his grudges, preserved his kindness, and left a way out for himself.
Before he arrived in the army, Chen Ping built an altar and invited Fan Kuai to come and receive the order. Fan Kuai is brave and has no plans, and he will attack with just one move. As soon as Fan Kuai arrived, he was immediately arrested. Zhou Bo attacked Lu Wan on behalf of Fan Kuai, and Lu Wan fled to the Great Wall to observe the incident.
Who would have thought that halfway through the journey, news of Liu Bang's death came. Chen Ping was worried that Fan Kuai's wife Lu Yu was slandering Lu Fei, so he left Fan Kuai behind and rushed to Chang'an for the funeral alone. As expected by Chen Ping, as soon as he arrived in Xingyang, he met an envoy calling him back to Chang'an. Chen Ping galloped into the palace and cried bitterly for Liu Bang. Lu Fei's heart softened when he saw Chen Ping crying with uncontrollable grief. When Chen Ping cried out that Liu Bang had sent Fan Kuai to be killed and Chen Ping escorted Fan Kuai back to Chang'an to await his death, Lu Pheasant was very happy to know that Fan Kuai was not dead.
Chen Ping cried very sadly, and Lu Pheasant also felt compassion for him and said to him: "Don't be too sad and pay attention to your health." Chen Ping was not only wise, but also good at acting. His performance was so real that he even deceived the ruthless Lu Pheasant. Crying is Qi Ji's specialty, but she can only deceive Liu Bang. Crying is not Chen Ping's specialty, but she can deceive Lu Pheasant. Women's tears are the most powerful weapons, and sometimes men's too. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang cried for Zhou Yu, which was similar to Chen Ping crying for Liu Bang.
In order to ensure safety and put an end to slander, Chen Ping requested to stay in Chang'an to watch the events for Liu Bang, and Lu Pheasant agreed.
Chen Ping made a plan, Fan Kuaiguan was restored to his position, and he escaped unscathed. This is wisdom.
