518. Parking inquiries
Han Xin sat in the car with his eyebrows frowned. After these days of storm, he looked much clearer and looked very haggard. He stroked his gray beard with his hands and leaned against the wall of the car, thinking.
The carriage slowly stopped, and his son Han Ying rode over and said to him: "Father, there is Qishui in front of me. I have sent someone to find a ferry to cross the river. Please get off the car and rest first."
Han Xin got out of the car and walked to the river bank, forgetting that the Qishui that was surging eastward had emerged from the gods.
Han Ying stood behind his father and said angrily: "My father surrendered to the court with a county in Hanoi, followed His Majesty to fight in the south and north, and made suggestions and made many contributions. Unexpectedly, he was demoted innocently and returned to his hometown in a hurry. How unfair to his father!"
Han Xin scolded: "What do you know? How can you slander the king as a minister? I will punish you for your crime! Fortunately, you have the grace of Your Majesty and will save my life. You are not grateful and you are still talking nonsense here!"
Han Ying was dissatisfied and muttered in a low voice: "My father just told a few truths. What's the crime? Does Your Majesty have no mind to listen to a few truths?"
Han Xin scolded, "Stop your mouth! How dare you slander Your Majesty? If someone knows it, it will be another disaster... You must remember that disaster comes from the mouth. Don't say anything that should be said, and don't say anything that should not be said. A gentleman is quick to act and slow to speak. This is the teaching of a saint. He has read the books of a saint for his father and has forgotten the teachings of a saint. He should suffer this hardship."
Although Han Xin scolded his son, he was actually very angry. He was disappointed with Liu Xiu in his heart, feeling that his career had come to an end and he had no intention of becoming an official again. However, the unfair aura accumulated in his heart and had nowhere to vent his anger, so that he could not eat well, couldn't sleep, and it was uncomfortable to stay.
But he could not bring this emotion to his son. His son Han Ying was only eighteen years old, young and energetic, and should have a bright future. He should not be implicated by his father. Han Xin was worried that Han Ying would speak up for him and say anything inappropriate to him, causing a big disaster and following in his footsteps.
Han Xin and his family waited on the north bank of Qishui for a long time and finally found the boat. After a chaotic situation, everything was about to board the boat. Han Xin abandoned the carriage and was about to cross the river, suddenly saw a group of people coming from the north, with about a hundred people. From a distance, they saw a carriage among the people.
When Han Xin saw the style of the carriage, he was immediately surprised. He had been in the palace for a long time and was of course familiar with the vehicles in the palace. This car was obviously an envoy sent by the emperor.
Han Xin immediately jumped off the boat, stood by the way, lowered his head and arched his hands, and his heart couldn't help but thump.
The emperor was angry and wanted to execute him. Han Xin had heard of the scene. If it weren't for his colleagues in the court, he would have died in Handan long ago. Han Xin finally fled from Handan and wanted to return to Hanoi to live a stable and secluded life, but the emperor actually sent an envoy to chase him.
Did Your Majesty regret it and want to pardon him, but still have not stopped being angry, and want... Han Xin no longer dares to think about it.
When the envoy approached, he shouted, "Your Majesty has an edict, Han Xin will receive the edict!" Han Xin knelt down and slapped his head in the dust on the ground.
The envoy said: "Han Xin eats the king's fortune, and does not want to share his worries for the king and seeks blessings for the people. Instead, he slanders the king in the name of loving the people..."
With just this sentence, Han Xin immediately buzzed in her head, and she was completely confused.
The emperor sent an envoy to chase him, and it turned out that he wanted him to die!
According to the rules at that time, if the emperor sent an envoy to question the guilty and exiled officials on the road, he would force him to confess his guilt and commit suicide. If the officials did not have this awareness, they would not only die, but also implicate their families and lose their final dignity.
It seems that Liu Xiu did not kill him in Handan and did not spare him. Instead, because he killed Han Xin in Handan, all the officials in the court would make a fuss for him and the resistance was too great. However, after leaving Handan, the situation was completely different. Just a single edict could easily kill him.
Han Xin did not expect that he would not be able to win his life after many years of following the emperor, making countless contributions!
The messenger was still reciting the long edict, but Han Xin couldn't listen to a word, and only a sentence lingered in his mind: "Your Majesty wants me to die, he wants my life!"
He stood in a daze for a long time, and suddenly, it was like a thunder blew in the sky. The messenger shouted: "Han Xin, do you know your guilt!"
Han Xin woke up, and he buried deep in the dust, his voice as if it was coming from the deepest underground, "I know the crime."
Between this question and answer, Liu Xiu and Han Xin had reached an agreement from a distance, and Han Xin handed over his life and Liu Xiu gave him a decent ending.
At this time, Han Xin only needs to slaughter himself in front of the messenger. The agreement will be successfully implemented and the messenger can go back to submit the service. But at this time, Han Ying beside Han Xin suddenly shouted: "My father is not guilty!"
As soon as he said it, he was slapped hard on his face. The slap of this palm was so heavy that Han Ying buzzed in his ears, and five fingerprints suddenly appeared on his face. He looked at his father in shock, unable to speak for a moment.
Han Xin said angrily: "You evil son, you are so brave. You are talking nonsense in front of the angel. Is there any part of your words here?"
"But father, I..." Han Ying wanted to argue, but saw his father raise his palm again, which scared him to hide behind him. Han Xin scolded, "Don't retreat yet!"
Han Xin repelled his son, turned around and bowed deeply to the messenger, and said, "Please wait a moment, wait for Han to change his clothes first, and then repay Your Majesty for his death for his grace."
The messenger nodded and said, "Please give me some advice."
When Han Xin returned to the boat, his family was already crying, and there were mourning everywhere. Mrs. Han grabbed his arm and cried, "What should I do if you leave this house?"
Han Xin pushed her away, grabbed her son Han Ying's arm, and pulled him into the cabin.
"You have caused a big disaster!" Han Xin looked very nervous, "Your Majesty's edict has been issued, and it cannot be changed. Are you trying to say that Your Majesty is wrong and debate with Your Majesty? Liu Xiu hates me, and it has reached the point where he has to get rid of it. You have to save your life and rely on his kindness. Why do you still have to stand up and argue? The messenger can kill you on the spot!"
Han Ying cried and said, "My father suffered this grievance and his son could not save his father. What's the point of living in the world? I'm willing to die with my father!"
Han Xin said angrily: "You are confused! Now the Han family is the only male member. Do you want our Han family to be the queen?"
Han Ying lowered his head and cried. Han Xin stroked his shoulder and said, "Child, don't think that your father is yours, and don't go home. I'm afraid this country can no longer tolerate you. After a while, you will die for your father. You don't need to collect your body. You must flee west immediately. The faster the better. Never look back. You must escape to Hedong through Taihang Mountain and escape to the Cattle Herding Emperor!"
Han Ying raised her head and said in surprise: "Did my father ask me to join Chang'an?"
"Liu Xiu can't tolerate my Han family. We have no choice but to join Liu Yu. I went to Luoyang and met Emperor Jianshi in person. He is a man with a bright mind and will definitely take you in and leave this bloodline for the Han family. Child, you must escape! Remember, your life is not yours, but the entire family. Without you, there will be no Han family again!"
Han Xin repeatedly instructed him to arrange the incident at home and the back of the house. It was not until the messenger urged him to change his clothes that Han Xin changed into new clothes and walked onto the bow of the boat.
Han Xin whispered to Haohao Qishui: "The mulberry has fallen, and it is yellow and it dies. I am so depressed that I am three years old. Qishui soup is soup, and gradually carries and hangs. Women are not happy, and the gentleman is doing the same. The gentleman is also indecent, and the two and three are virtues."
After chanting, he died after jumping into the water, at the age of forty-five.
The messenger waited until Han Xin's body was salvaged and saw it in person before returning to the car to the north. However, after walking dozens of miles, the messenger suddenly sent someone to chase him back and asked Han Xin's only son Han Ying, but Han Ying was no longer sure where to go.
The envoy returned to Weiyang Palace in Handan to report his life. When Liu Xiu heard that Han Xin was dead, he finally let out a sigh of anger. He asked, "What did Han Xin say when he was dying?"
"Report to Your Majesty, Han Xin happily accepted the order. He wore plain clothes and died of throwing into the water, leaving no words." The envoy suddenly hesitated, "But I heard that he recited a poem before throwing into the water."
"What did you sneer?"
"The mulberry falls, and it falls yellow. I am so depressed that I am poor at the age of three. I have a lot of food in the Qishui soup, and gradually I have a carriage and a slept. Women are not happy, and the gentleman is not good at doing things. The gentleman is also invincible, and two or three are virtues."
Liu Xiu suddenly slapped the desk and said angrily: "Han Xin is a man, dare to blame me!"
This poem is a passage from the Book of Songs, which describes a woman abandoned by her husband and complained to her husband. It means: "The leaves of the mulberry tree have fallen, withered and yellow. Since we got married to your house, we have suffered from poverty with you for many years. The Qi water is vast and the water splashed onto the carriage. As a wife, I have nothing wrong with you. It is because you, a man who is impermanent and has no virtue."
Han Xin still spoke out loud and dared to advise him like he was during his lifetime, and he did not know how to avoid it. He used the abandoned woman's mouth to express his resentment towards Liu Xiu, which made Liu Xiu's mood that had just calmed down was turbulent again.
Han Xin's death shocked the world, and the government and the people felt sorry for him. Han Xin has always been famous, but he was innocently killed because he offended Emperor Jianwu. People all over the world made a fuss about him, saying that death was not his fault.
This incident damaged Liu Xiu's reputation.
A month later, Han Xin's only son Han Ying met His Majesty Emperor Jianshi. He fell to the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, my father is not guilty! My father is wronged!"
Liu Yu personally helped him up and said, "Your father is an upright person. I cannot bear to let him die unjustly. I should clear his grievances and restore his innocence."
Liu Yu issued an order to commend Han Xin, posthumously awarded him the position of Grand Secretary, and appointed him as a marquis, and his son Han Ying inherited his title.
