Biography of the characterIn the second year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (178 BC), Liu Wu was appointed as the acting king. In the third year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (177 BC), he was renamed the King of Huaiyang. In the eleventh year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (169 BC), Liu Wu's younger brother Liu Yi of Liang Huai Wang died. In the twelfth year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (168 BC), Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty had no children after Liu Yi's death, so he renamed Liu Wu as the king of Liang. In the following years, Liu Wu entered the court many times. In the seventh year of the Later Yuan Dynasty (the twenty-second year of King Liang, 157 BC), Liu Wu's father, Emperor Wen of Han, died, and Liu Wu's elder brother, the crown prince Liu Qi, succeeded him as Emperor Jing of Han. In the third year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty (the twenty-fifth year of King Liang, 154 BC), Liu Wu entered the dynasty. At that time, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had not yet established a crown prince, and Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had a banquet with Liu Wu, and once said in a casual conversation: "Long live the thousand autumns, and pass on to you, the king of Liang." Liu Wu modestly excused himself. Although he knew that this was not the truth, he was secretly happy in his heart. His mother, Empress Dowager Dou, was equally happy. In the same year (154 BC), the seven kingdoms of Wu, Chu, Qi, and Zhao rebelled. Wu and Chu first attacked the thorny walls of the Liang state, killing tens of thousands of people. King Xiao of Liang guarded Suiyang City and ordered Han Anguo, Zhang Yu and others to be generals to resist the soldiers of Wu and Chu. Wu and Chu were hindered by Liang and did not dare to cross the Liang State to march westward, and held on to Taiwei Yafu and others for three months. Wu and Chu were destroyed, and the merits were calculated, and the number of Wu and Chu armies killed and captured by the Liang State was roughly the same as that of the imperial court. The following year, the imperial court appointed a crown prince. Later, King Liang was the emperor's brother, made great contributions, and was enshrined in a big country, and possessed the fertile land of the world. Its fief is bounded by Mount Tai in the north and reaches Gaoyang in the west, with a total of more than 40 cities, most of which are large counties. King Liang Xiao was the youngest son of Empress Dowager Dou, who was very favored and received countless rewards. Therefore, King Liang Xiao built the East Garden, with a radius of more than 300 li, and expanded Suiyang City to 70 li. The construction of the palace and the construction of overhead passages connected from the palace to the platform for more than 30 miles. There is a banner rewarded by the Son of Heaven, and the entourage goes out on thousands of rides. Galloping horses and hunting everywhere, the pomp and grandeur of the scene resemble that of the Son of Heaven. In and out of the palace, pedestrians are forbidden on the clear road, and the word "police" is called "跸 (bì, bi)." Heroes from all over the world, lobbyists from the east of Kunshan Mountain, such as Qi people Yangsheng, Gongsun Wei, Zou Yang and others, all returned to Liang State. Gongsun Wei has many strange and grotesque schemes, the first time he met the king of Liang, the king of Liang gave him a thousand gold, the official position to be a lieutenant, Liang called him "Gongsun General". The Liang State cast many weapons, including hundreds of thousands of bows and arrows, spears, etc., and the treasury had nearly a trillion dollars, and there were many jewels and treasures. In October of the twenty-ninth year (150 BC), King Xiao of Liang entered Beijing to meet Emperor Jing. Emperor Jing sent an envoy to take the talisman and drive the carriage that the emperor was riding to greet King Liang in front of the pass. After meeting Emperor Jing, he submitted a request to stay in Beijing, but was allowed because the Queen Mother favored King Xiao. When King Xiao entered the palace, he accompanied Emperor Jing to ride on the same chariot, and when he left the palace, he went hunting in the same car, and went to Shanglin Yuan to shoot birds and beasts. The attendants, Lang officials, and confessors of the Liang State only need to register their names in the register, so that they can enter and exit the palace of the Son of Heaven, which is no different from the ** of the imperial court. In November, the emperor deposed Prince Li, and Empress Dowager Dou wanted to make King Xiao his heir. The minister and Yuan Ang and others dissuaded Emperor Jing, and Empress Dowager Dou's motion was blocked, and the matter of making King Liang the heir was no longer mentioned. Because it was a secret, no one in the world knew about it. King Liang then bid farewell to the imperial court and returned to the feudal state. In April of this summer, the emperor appointed King Jiaodong as the crown prince. King Liang resented Yuan Ang and the ministers who participated in the discussion, so he conspired with Yang Sheng, Gongsun Wei and others, and secretly sent people to assassinate Yuan Ang and more than a dozen other ministers who participated in the discussion. The court arrested**, but not seized. So the Son of Heaven suspected King Liang and captured **, and it was indeed the instigation of King Liang. So Emperor Jing sent envoys to and from the Liang State to and from the Liang State, and went to the Liang State to repeatedly check and arrest Gongsun Wei and Yang Sheng. Gongsun Wei and Yang Sheng hid in the harem of King Liang. The envoy asked 2,000 stones** It was very urgent, Liang Xiangxuan Qiu Bao and Neishi Han Anguo admonished King Liang, and King Liang ordered Yang Sheng and Gongsun Yi to commit suicide, and then handed them over. The emperor resented King Liang because of this. King Liang was frightened, so he sent Han Anguo to confess his guilt to the Queen Mother through the eldest princess and ask for forgiveness, which was forgiven. The emperor's anger gradually dissipated, and the king of Liang wrote to ask for a meeting. After arriving at Hangu Pass, Mao Lan persuaded King Liang to take a cloth chariot, take only two cavalry into Beijing, and hide in the garden of the eldest princess. The imperial court sent a messenger to greet King Liang, but King Liang had already entered the pass, and his entourage was outside the pass, and he did not know where King Liang was. The Queen Mother cried: "The emperor killed my son!" Emperor Jing was terrified. So King Liang prostrated himself under the palace door with the torture instrument on his back, pleaded guilty and asked for punishment, the Queen Mother and Emperor Jing were very happy, crying relatively, and the brotherhood was the same as before. Then summoned King Liang's entourage ** into the customs. However, Emperor Jing gradually distanced himself from King Liang and no longer rode with him. In the winter of the thirty-fifth year (144 BC), King Liang entered Beijing to meet again. submitted a request to keep the Jingshi, but the emperor did not agree. After King Liang returned to the feudal kingdom, he was in a trance. When he went to the northern mountains to hunt, someone offered a cow with long legs on his back, and King Xiao was disgusted with it. In mid-June, he fell ill with a fever and died six days later. He is the king of filial piety.
