According to the "Hanshu" records, when Liu Qi was still the crown prince, once Liu Xian, the prince of Wu Wang Liu Bi, came to Beijing to play Liubo chess with Liu Qi.

Because Liu Xian's teacher is from Chu, Liu Xian has developed a bad character of being defiant, arrogant and indulgent. The two are playing chess, and they seem to be very friendly. Who knows that suddenly they are fighting for chess.

Liu Xian's rude attitude irritated Liu Qi, Liu Qi suddenly threw a chessboard at Liu Xian, Liu Qi had no intention of killing Liu Xian, who knew that Liu Xian was killed by being too heavy handed.

Since Liu Qi is the crown prince, the future heir to the throne of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Xian is the son of the king of princes, King Chu, Liu Qi will not be punished for this, but Liu Qi has always felt guilty for this matter after he became emperor. .

On the contrary, after the Han court transported Liu Xian's body to the state of Wu, the king of Wu, Liu Bi, said angrily, "The whole family is in the same family. If he dies in Chang'an, he can be buried in Chang'an. Why send him back to the state of Wu for burial!"

Liu Bi sent someone to send Liu Xian's body back to Chang'an for burial.After that, Liu Bi ignored the courtesy of the emperor and his ministers and refused to go to court because of illness.

Then, can we think that Liu Bi, the king of Wu, rebelled during the reign of Emperor Han Jing because his son was killed by Emperor Han Jing?

Of course, this is a one-sided reason for Liu Bi's rebellion, and the fundamental reason is because of Liu Bi's character: extremely tough, brave and ambitious!
As early as the period of Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bi helped Liu Bang put down the Yingbo rebellion, made certain military exploits, and was therefore named King of Wu by Liu Bang.

Since then, Liu Bi has also felt particularly proud of his military exploits, and is often defiant and arrogant about it.

Liu Bang summoned him when he granted Liu Bi the official seal of King Wu. Liu Bang looked at Liu Bi's appearance and seemed to have a heart of disobedience.

And said to him: "Your appearance has the look of rebellion."

Liu Bang was very regretful at the time, but at this time the official seal had been bestowed and it was difficult to take it back, so he supported his back and said: "Fifty years after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, there will be a rebellion in the southeast. Could it be you? Everyone with the same surname in the world is one family. I hope you will be careful not to rebel."

Liu Bi verbally said that he dared not rebel, but 50 years later, Liu Bang's prophecy came true, and Liu Bi really rebelled, which shows that Liu Bi's ambitious character was destined to rebel.

Secondly, there is a copper mine in Yuzhang County of Wu State. Liu Bi recruited desperadoes to come here to secretly mint money, and boiled seawater into salt in the east. Because of not paying taxes, Wu State was very rich in assets.

Especially after decades of development under Liu Bi, it has reached the point where it is incomparably rich, and Wu alone governs more than 50 cities.

All that Liu Bi did was to prepare for the rebellion.Liu Bi's food was better than that of Emperor Han Jing, and he even used the emperor's ostentation in violation of regulations when traveling.
After Han Jingdi ascended the throne, he promoted Chao Cuo to be an internal historian, and then promoted Chao Cuo to be a royal historian, one of the three princes.

After analysis, Chao Cuo proposed to weaken the power of the princes and kings and strengthen the centralization of power.

We should be especially wary of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, who is the most powerful of the princes. He pointed out that Liu Bi minted money privately, boiled salt and sold it, accumulated strength, and recruited fugitives.

In the third year of Emperor Jing (154 BC), Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty adopted Chao Cuo's "Strategy for Cutting Fans" and successively issued edicts to seize the fiefdoms of Chu, Zhao and other vassal states.

Liu Bi, king of Wu, was worried that the land would be cut endlessly, so he wanted to rebel, so he personally went to Jiaoxi, and made an agreement with Liu Ang, king of Jiaoxi, to oppose the Han Dynasty. Wu and Jiaoxi divided the world and ruled.

Liu Ang agreed to rebel, and made an appointment with his brothers and other kings in the old land of Qi to rebel against Han.At the same time, Liu Bi, king of Wu, also sent people to Chu, Zhao, and Huainan countries to conspire to raise troops.

Soon, Emperor Jing issued an imperial edict to take away the counties of Yuzhang and Kuaiji of Wu Wang Liu Bi.

When the edict was passed to the State of Wu, King Liu Bi of Wu immediately murdered the officials under [-] shi placed by the Han Dynasty in the State of Wu. King Liu Xiongqu of Jiaodong and other princes and kings of the six countries rebelled openly.

Liu Bi recruited all the men over the age of 14 and under the age of 60 in Feng's country to join the army, gathered more than 30 people, and sent people to collude with the Xiongnu, Dongyue, and Minyue nobles, in the name of "please punish Chao Cuo, and use the Qing Dynasty's side" , raised troops to the west, and thus began the rebellion of the seven kings of Wu and Chu in the history of the Western Han Dynasty.

When Emperor Jing heard the news, he discussed with Chao Cuo about sending troops.

Chao Cuo suggested that Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty should go on a personal expedition and stay in the capital by himself.Yuan Ang, who had been the prime minister of Wu State, suggested to Emperor Jing to kill Chao Cuo, satisfying the request of the rebel "Qing Emperor's side" in exchange for their retreat.

Emperor Jing adopted Yuan An's plan and named Yuan An Taichang, and asked him to secretly reorganize his luggage and go to Wu as an envoy.More than ten days after Yuan Ang offered his advice, Prime Minister Tao Qing, Lieutenant Chen Jia, and Ting Wei Zhang Ou jointly wrote a letter to impeach Chao Cuo, proposing to have Chao Cuo executed.

Emperor Jing approved the memorial and cut Chao Cuo in Dongshi.Chao Cuo was dead, and the Allied Forces of the Seven Kingdoms did not withdraw because of this. On the contrary, they believed that Emperor Jing was weak and incompetent. Therefore, Liu Bi claimed to be the Emperor of the East, fought against the Western Han regime, and refused to see Yuan An. Only then did Emperor Jing make up his mind to suppress the rebellion by force.

Emperor Jing then promoted Zhou Yafu to the rank of Taiwei and led the troops to suppress the rebellion.At this time, the rebel army was attacking Liang Guo, but Zhou Yafu did not want to rescue directly, he put forward his own strategic plan to Emperor Jing: "The Chu army has always been fierce and powerful, and it is difficult to win if it is a decisive battle.

I plan to temporarily abandon Liang Guo, cut off its food supply from behind, and then wait for an opportunity to defeat the rebels. "Emperor Jing agreed to Zhou Yafu's plan.

So Zhou Yafu marched in a detour, cut off the food road of the rebel army, and sent troops to rob the rebel army of food.

The rebels had no choice but to attack Zhou Yafu first, but Zhou Yafu did not fight several times.A few days later, the rebel army aggressively attacked the southeast of the barracks with great momentum, but Zhou Yafu sent his men to defend in the northwest.

As a result, we encountered an attack from the main force of the rebels in the northwest, and because of our preparations, we quickly repelled the rebels.The rebel army had no choice but to retreat due to lack of food. Zhou Yafu took the opportunity to send elite troops to pursue them and won the victory.

The head of Liu Bi, the leader of the rebel army, was also beheaded by the Yue people.

The rebellion was quickly put down after three months. After the war, everyone praised Zhou Yafu's way of using troops.

But Liang Wang forged an enmity with Zhou Yafu because he didn't rescue him in time.

The suppression of the Seven Kings Rebellion maintained the unity of the Western Han Dynasty and strengthened the centralization of power.

Jiang Hou Zhou Bo, as a representative of the founding hero group in the early Han Dynasty, conquered the Qin Dynasty, conquered Xiang Yu, pacified Chen Xi, settled the Yan chaos, destroyed Zhu Lu, annoyed the Liu family, abolished the Shao Emperor, and established the Wen Emperor.

But because of this, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty Liu Heng, while grateful for his great contributions to the country, was also very suspicious and jealous of him, so he suppressed him quite a bit, making things difficult for him, avoiding reprimands, and even slandering him. He committed treason and imprisoned him.

Zhou Bo, who was beating all the way, had no temper. In the end, he could only beg for mercy with his tail between his legs, and was pitifully let go.

Now the question is, since Emperor Wen had a grudge with the Zhou family, why did he appreciate and reuse Zhou Yafu, the son of Zhou Bo, and even want to entrust the safety of the entire empire to him?

In fact, after Zhou Bo's death, his eldest son Zhou Shengzhi inherited his title, and there was nothing wrong with Zhou Yafu.

But it's a pity that although Zhou Shengzhi was born in the general family and married Emperor Wen's daughter, I don't know how many years he has to fight less than others.

As far as the Qi family is concerned, he has a feud with his princess and his wife, and the young couple quarrels all day long; and when it comes to self-cultivation, he has mistakenly committed gangsters and committed murder on the spur of the moment. Fortunately, he has the status of a prince and son-in-law Now, this is the only way to save my life.

However, according to the law of the Han Dynasty, he was still deprived of his title and fief, and the Zhou family was weakened since then.

However, Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty did not abandon the Zhou family because of the old grudge. Instead, he favored the Zhou family in accordance with the rule of "Shao Feng Sui Jue", and wanted to choose the best among Zhou Bo's sons.

It happened that Zhou Yafu, the second son of Zhou Bo, was both civil and military, with outstanding talents. He worked hard at a young age and became the governor of Hedong County. He entrusted him with an important task and asked him to lead his troops to station in Xiliu Camp to the west of Chang'an to guard the capital.

Emperor Wen really did not pick the wrong person, and Zhou Yafu was really good.Back then, Zhou Bo offended the emperor, and ended up being punished so miserably, but Zhou Yafu still insisted on his principles, and kept the military etiquette when the emperor came to make his rounds.

Liu Heng then worshiped Zhou Yafu as a lieutenant, in charge of the Northern Army of the Forbidden Army and the defense of the capital.
