Part 1 review: In 324 AD, Emperor Li Xiong of the Cheng Han Dynasty regretted that he did not appoint his own son as the crown prince, and chose Li Ban, the son of his nephew Li Dang. In 334 AD, Li Xiong died and Li Ban ascended the throne, however, the court was in turmoil and a good show was staged.
A new chapter in the Cheng Han Dynasty.
Li Ban, whose name is Shiwen, has been brilliant since childhood. When he grew up, he was humble and polite, studied the Confucian classics, and surrounded by handsome and talented people. The power of the Cheng Han Empire gradually stabilized, and the Li royal brothers enjoyed a prosperous life, but fell into luxury. Li Ban often admonished him, trying to protect the righteousness of national governance.
Ancient statecraft and practical dilemmas.
Li Ban proposed that under the rule of the ancient holy kings, the distribution of land was fair, the gap between the rich and the poor was not large, and the people lived happily. However, at present, the rich occupy the land extensively, the poor have no land to plant, the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer, which has become a problem that plagues the emperor's governance. This question has been pondered through the ages, and in 334 A.D., Li Ban succeeded to the throne and will face this difficult problem for this generation.
Struggle between power and brotherhood.
In 334 AD, Li Xiong died, and Li Ban ascended the throne. However, Li Xiong's son, the general of the Che Cavalry, Li Yue, was stationed in Jiangyang and returned to Chengdu to mourn. Li Yue thinks that Li Banfei is not his own child, why did he seize the throne of emperor? Consult with General Anton Li Qi and prepare to take action. Li Ban's brother Li Yu noticed something unusual and advised Li Ban to quickly remove Li Yue and appoint Li Qi as the assassin of Liangzhou to prevent the two brothers from plotting rebellion. However, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse on the 23rd.
Sudden change.
Li Yue and Li Qi took advantage of the night crying to raid the palace, killing Li Ban, and at the same time killing the leading general Li Du. The edict of the Empress Dowager was pretended, listing the charges and deposing Li Ban from the throne. Li Ban was only forty-seven years old and suffered a tragic succession.
Palace coup: Brothers fight openly and secretly.
Regarding the death of Li Ban, "The Spring and Autumn of the Sixteen Kingdoms: The Biography of Li Ban" said that "Yue and Qi cried at night because of the class, and killed him in the funeral palace". However, Li Xiong made Li Ban crown prince in 324 AD at the age of sixteen. However, Li Ban died in 334 A.D., at the age of twenty-six, and it is clear that there is an error in the account of the age of forty-seven. Whether Li Ban's crying on the night followed Confucian etiquette or had other hidden secrets is still a mystery.
The battle for the throne: a game between brothers.
Li Ban's death did not cause unrest among the courtiers, but on the contrary, they consulted with those who would succeed him. Li Yue once became the first choice, but he resolutely refused, saying that he was just indignant and not the emperor. The brother Li Qi became the desired candidate. On October 24, Li Qi ascended the throne as emperor.
The Art of Intriguery: Brothers join forces to overthrow the imperial power.
Although Li Yue led the coup d'état, he ceded the throne to Li Qi, which was quite a vision. According to the "Spring and Autumn Period of the Sixteen Kingdoms: The Biography of Ren", Li Xiong's main room Ren had no children, but Li Xiong's other concubines gave birth to fifteen sons, and Li Yue, Li Ba, and Li Qi raised them. This coup d'état seems to be led by Li Yue, but in fact Li Qi may be the mastermind.
Epilogue. The brief reign of Emperor Li Ban of the Cheng Han Dynasty ended in open and secret strife between brothers. Intrigues, coups, and brotherhood constitute the mystery of this historical inheritance.
