Blood poured into Liu Dan's trachea.
"Ho ho."
Liu Dan breathed painfully, making intermittent sounds. The palace was quiet, except for the sound of him breathing too much and taking in too little air. The endless pain of suffocation was too much torment until he died.
Sima Qian sat quietly in the corner, silently writing down all the words spoken by both parties since entering the palace. After Liu Dan stopped struggling, he stood up and silently walked to the side, took a breath, paused, and wrote on the draft. , then turned to the Jingnan princes, with calm eyes, and said in a chant-like tone when praising a saint, "I cough up blood and die in Changle."
When you say something, you don't say it is a thief; when you say it, you don't say it will collapse.
Sima Qian looked at Los and bowed.
Ross bowed in return and congratulated every worthy historian.
Looking at the emperor who died so easily, the princes of Jingnan felt as if they were in a dream. They unconsciously stretched out their hands and turned them over to see that the world's storm was in their palms.
I felt a little confused for a moment, what should I do now?
Luo Shi, who had been silent and did not speak, walked up to the crowd, looked at Liu Dan's body lying on the table, and turned around.
The princes of Jingnan all raised their eyes to see this son of the Luo family, leading the army of the Western Regions across thousands of miles. This ability alone was rare in today's Han Dynasty.
Luo Shi's voice was not high, but it was very loud: "Evil tigers bite people, and those who help the tigers are not guilty?
The king's sins should not be blamed on the people of the world. This is the king's responsibility, but is Gonggun above the palace really so clean? "
After the battle was over, the house had to be cleaned, the evil spirits had to be eliminated, and the soldiers who fought bloody battles had to be given an explanation. The princes nodded in agreement.
…
All the officials of the Han court were led under the Changle Palace. Although there was anxiety in their eyes, it was not shown on their faces. There were even some people who were thinking secretly. Although the princes of Guandong claimed to be single husbands, could they really dare to kill the king?
The Han Dynasty is as stable as Mount Tai. Although they, the ministers of the court, are under the sword, they are not afraid, because the princes of Guandong can raise troops, so can they.
Besides, if the princes of Guandong commit regicide, can the world really be stopped?
This represents one of the people's hearts in Guanzhong.
Although Mencius was very powerful among the princes of Guandong, he was not the most prominent Confucian family. Ever since Emperor Xiaowen respected Confucianism, the most prominent one was Spring and Autumn Confucianism. Not everyone agreed with Mencius' theory.
Even though Liu Dan had become so mediocre in recent years and even his school suffered a blow, the knowledge he learned from childhood still made many scholar-bureaucrats loyal to Liu Dan.
Single husband!
King Su called King Zhou of Shang a single husband, and King Wu's attack on Zhou was called a killing. This can be regarded as a characterization of King Wu of Zhou's behavior, but what does a single husband look like?
There doesn't seem to be a clear standard.
The princes of Jingnan walked out of Changle Palace and stood on the high steps, overlooking everything about the Han Dynasty. Then the officials of Chang'an saw the sergeants carrying a corpse out, wearing a crown and placing it under the steps of Changle Palace.
It’s obvious who the corpse is!
Everyone gasped, and a sore and numb feeling rising from the tailbone instantly rushed to their heads.
How dare you commit regicide!
It was like thunder exploding in my mind.
When some people fainted, some Confucian scholars came forward and pointed angrily at the feudal princes and rebuked: "Traitor, thief, how dare you kill your father!
Where is the patriarchal lineage! Where is the etiquette!
The disorder of yin and yang is here! "
In Chang'an in April, the cold winter seems to have not dissipated. The long sunshine cannot make everyone feel warm. In the slight breeze, under the Changle Palace, there is silence and a strong chill.
Some Confucian people are really stubborn and are actually doctors of the Spring and Autumn Classics.
When Luo Si walked in front of the Jingnan princes, the scholar's eyes shrank and he felt a little guilty when facing Luo Shizi. However, recalling what he had learned over the past decades, he still raised his head and straightened his back. What supported him was the energy in his heart. .
Although the Luo family is a descendant of King Su and Sheng Luo, the sages are sages and the descendants are descendants. There is no escape from the truth in everything in this world!
Los glanced at him coldly, and then shouted loudly: "Is King Wu's defeat of Zhou a subject to kill the king's father?"
The great scholar was stunned. Almost everyone didn't know this question. King Su had given a clear answer a thousand years ago. The great scholar replied with a pale face: "I haven't heard of regicide, but I have heard of killing a single man like Zhou!"
Los said angrily: "As a doctor, can I still forget King Su's teachings?"
The scholar's momentum weakened again and he said: "A mistake is a mistake, a crime is a crime. Although your Majesty has made mistakes, is it appropriate to be listed alongside King Zhou of Shang?"
Lu Chan drew his sword and stepped forward, shouting: "Fault? What the doctor said, I want to ask, do you know what crime this emperor is guilty of?"
What is the crime of Emperor Dan?
You, one of the leaders of the Jingnan princes, asked us, "What is the crime of Emperor Dan?"
When you started trouble in Guandong, and when you took the oath at Mount Li, you clearly listed all the crimes of the emperor. Now you ask us, what are the crimes of the emperor?
Isn't this the most ridiculous thing?
Lu Chan added: "We, either Yuan Cong Zhuxun or Xiaowu Xunwei, allied with Xinzheng. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and millions of soldiers and civilians fought for thousands of miles. We dug all the way from Xinzheng through the Central Plains. On this road, No matter how much sacrifice was made, how much blood was shed, could the invasion of Chang'an be just for some small mistakes?
If Liu Dan only made some mistakes, then who are the people who support Yuan Cong and other honors, the soldiers who died during the march, and us noble nobles standing in Changle Palace?
By saying this, does the doctor mean that all of us Jingnan princes are rebels? "
Murder and heart-wrenching!
The princes of Jingnan reacted instantly. If the emperor led his troops to conquer because of some minor mistakes, there is no such reason in the world.
An unreasonable person is a thief!
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Almost in an instant, countless people had drawn out their sharp swords and stared at the officials at the steps of Changle Palace. The temperature in the air dropped almost instantly, and the surging killing intent came. If you look carefully, Look, you can even see blood dripping from the blade, and the faint smell of blood is floating around.
"Traitor!"
On the high platform, there are already Jingnan princes who cannot restrain their anger.
From autumn to spring, this journey seemed to be unstoppable, but only he knew the dangers involved. Especially when he finally conquered Guanzhong, so many people died under the pass without waiting for the news of victory. As a result, this Confucian scholar actually said a few words. How can you not have murderous intentions when you take away everything from them?
"Liu Dan was an independent man and brought trouble to the world, but is Liu Dan the only one who is guilty?
You, the ministers of the court, do not think of admonishing the monarch and defending our Han family. Instead, you help Zhou to do evil and poison the people, causing the world to be displaced.
Dufu is guilty, and the fault lies with the minister. Dufu is dead, but you people are still standing in front of Changle Palace.
At this stage, the sinners do not want to kneel down and accept orders, but they can still accuse us and other heroes of Jingnan in a high-sounding way, and they can still talk about patriarchal laws and etiquette in a high-sounding way.
It’s so ridiculous, so funny, so shameless! "
The princes of Jingnan all opened their mouths to rebuke.
From the moment Dr. Chun Qiuru spoke, Loss suddenly realized one thing, that is, the division between Guandong and Guanzhong was very serious.
From academics to concepts, they are all very different.
The general took a step forward and said: "You princes are really lying. For more than ten years, we have conquered the four barbarians, and we have made great contributions to the country and the country. You said that we are sinners. Isn't this an attempt to impose a crime?"
"You still have the nerve to say it!
In the fifteenth year of Liu Dan's reign, there were thirty-three border wars, twenty of which were caused by you people who wanted to maintain wealth through military exploits and provoked the Yi and Di tribes without permission.
Now he is still barking here and talking shamelessly about being a hero of the country. "
The princes and generals of Chang'an were dissatisfied, and the general said proudly: "King Su once said that the king's way is not peaceful, and the Xia and barbarians are not at odds with each other. Conquering the barbarians is the foundation of the Xia. How can we be wrong?"
Anyang Hou Hanlin drew his sword out of its sheath, murderous intent overflowing, and said in a cold voice: "You evildoer, how dare you talk about Emperor Su Wang? Thousands of years ago, Emperor Su Wang was unrivaled in the world. He marched eastward from Haojing, singing triumphantly all the way to Huai. At the time of the flood, he withdrew his troops and returned to Zhou.
Why is this so?
Could it be that King Su was unwilling to wipe out the barbarians?
It's because the soldiers are tired and unwilling to fight, it's because the Zhou people are tired and can't bear the military service, and it's because the state does not support the war.
Is it right to conquer the barbarians and overthrow the country's society, displacing the people of the world, and causing the country to be divided?
In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, due to the infighting between the princes and the inability to suppress it in all directions, it took only a long time for the Xiongnu to become powerful. Have you forgotten it? "
"Do you traitors think this sword in my hand is a disadvantage?"
Tap tap tap.
The sound of horse hooves gradually sounded, "What else can I say?"
The white clouds were lingering, a breeze blew by, and the princes and ministers were speechless.
"What can be said?
The fact is here, it is Liu Dan and all the princes and ministers who are causing trouble in the world, and it is Liu Dan and all the princes and ministers who are resentful in the world.
If this were not the case, we Yuan Cong Zhu Xun, with a country of no more than a thousand households, a population of no more than ten thousand, and an army of no more than a hundred, would have the power to lead millions of people to the west to fight against thieves.
It's because the common people of Li were so angry that they carried us, the so-called nobles, all the way into Chang'an City!
If we turn our backs on them today, will our ancestor King Su forgive us? "
Word by word, sentence by sentence.
Heartfelt and courageous!

In the previous chapter, the author believed that the huge political differences and different ideological lines within the ruling group of the Han Dynasty were one of the root causes of the "Jingnan Jingnan" incident. The "Changle Inquisition" was a thorough liquidation of Jingnan princes. Objectively, the unity of the political consciousness of the Han Dynasty was maintained. The political ecology of the Han Dynasty shifted from differences and fragmentation to unity again, ending unprovoked internal strife. The Han Dynasty passed the crisis of national subjugation relatively smoothly, and the country's decline to the bottom began to slow down. pick up. ——"The Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
