The rebellion of Liu An, the king of Huainan, was a rebellion of the princes during the period of Emperor Wu of Han, but it was finally suppressed by Emperor Wu of Han, so how did Emperor Wu of Han suppress it? In fact, this can only be regarded as liu an attempted rebellion, because he did not directly raise troops and confront him by force like the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. Before Liu An rebelled, he was accused, so Emperor Wu of Han easily sent people to surround the palace, and Liu An killed himself.
This Liu An was the grandson of Liu Bang and the son of Liu Chang, the Prince of Li of Huainan. In fact, during the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, Liu An planned to send troops to join in. However, he handed over the army to the Minister of State, and did not expect that the State would help the imperial court instead, and with the army directly began to deal with the army of the Seven Kingdoms, and this also saved Liu An's Huainan Kingdom, otherwise he would have been unlucky after the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms.
From the perspective of generations, Liu An is Liu Che's uncle. Objectively speaking, Liu An is really not a faint and incompetent person, but his ability is still very strong. Moreover, this person is also very famous, he once summoned his disciples to write a "HuainanZi" that has been passed down to the present.
Liu An had a son named Liu Qian, the Prince of Huainan, who was the successor. But this guy wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp, he was far behind his father. Liu Qian likes to play with swords, thinking that he is a master and invincible in the world, he heard that Lang Zhonglei was skilled in swordplay, so he asked him to compete. This Lei was originally a jianghu ranger, a good hand with a sword, and a reputation, and was later recruited to the door by Liu An, who was famous at that time, known as the Eight Dukes of Huainan, and he was one of them.
No matter how strong Lei was, he did not dare not give Shizi face, so he let it again and again, but he still lost his hand and hit Liu Qian. So Liu Qian, who was careful with his eyes, began to hate him and embarrassed people everywhere. Lei was unable to stay in Huainan, so he planned to follow Wei Qing to fight, but liu an did not think that he had different intentions, dismissed him from his post, and did not allow him to leave Huainan.
This time Lei was really angry and deceived people too much, so he managed to escape and ran to the capital to sue the King of Huainan. He did not sue Liu An for rebellion, he did not accuse him of joining the army. At that time, Emperor Wu of Han wanted to fight the Xiongnu, and he once issued an edict to the whole country that all those who joined the army were not allowed to stop them. As a result, Emperor Wu of Han was ready to investigate, the key was not lei was personal, the key was that Liu An dared not listen to the imperial court, this matter was big, and at that time, some people in the court suggested abolishing his throne. However, Emperor Wu of Han did not agree, but so he sent someone to investigate, but this case was transferred to Huainan, you must know how Liu An said that he was also the king of Huainan, many officials themselves were arranged by him, naturally listen to him.
In fact, Emperor Wudi of Han did not plan anything, so he cut two counties, and the punishment was quite light.
As a result, Liu An feared his son and his kingdom and planned to rebel. Before the matter was over, his grandson Liu Jian sued him again, which is a typical infighting.
Emperor Wu of Han saw that this guy was determined to rebel, and Liu An was worried and could not sleep soundly, so he asked Wu to be consulted to rebel. The two spent all day together to discuss countermeasures, but before they could wait for the day of the start of the army, Wu was turned himself in, and Liu An was completely exposed, and the coup was stillborn.
Therefore, it is not so much that Emperor Wudi of Han quelled Liu An's rebellion, but rather that Liu An himself played himself to death.
