Liu Bang Why can you win Xiang Yu ? This is a question that many people have asked in ancient and modern times. Ruan Ji, a famous scholar in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, visited the ancient battlefield of Xingyang and Chenggao, and then put on a disdainful look and said: There are no heroes in the world, so the prince became famous!
: In terms of origin, Liu Bang’s origin is really ordinary. The father is called Liu Taigong , the mother is called Old Lady Liu (Liu Ma), the eldest brother is called Da (Bo), the second brother is called Liu Er (Zhong), and his name is Liu San (Ji), and he is from an authentic civilian. He was supposed to be . Chu State was not yet dead when he was born, but later Qin destroyed Chu, and he became a citizen of Qin.
Liu Bang
There are several things about his performance when he was a child: First, he is quite likable and good at dating people, "loving others, being open-minded, and always being generous"; Second, he "does not do his family's production homework", which means he does not work hard, just like Liu Bei . His father often said, "How great would it be if you could buy some family business like your second brother!" But there are two things that can reflect Liu Bang's extraordinary person. First, he is very hospitable and always takes some people home for dinner. My sister-in-law was unhappy and made a sound of the spatula, indicating that the rice had been shoveled to the bottom of the pot and there was nothing to eat in the pot. He invites people to eat and drink, often pays on credit, and "pays several times the amount of alcohol". By the end of the year, people often give him a discount or something. The reason why Liu Bang was able to be the pavilion chief shows that his family was not as poor as a family like self-cultivation farmer . Being a pavilion chief also requires certain conditions. The grassroots organization of the Qin Dynasty is a township. The pavilion chief mainly manages the public security of a place. It is a bit like the role of the security director, which is a public security dispatch agency established under Pei County. The second one is his congratulations to Lu Gong 's house. Mr. Lu was a friend of the county magistrate of Pei County. Once he brought his family to join the county magistrate. Xiao He At that time, he worked in the county and his position was equivalent to that of the secretary-general of the county government and in charge of finance. Xiao He asked around: The county leaders and friends are here, we have to congratulate you, everyone comes for a meal and give you some gifts. There was probably such a custom at that time. When the leaders’ guests came, the people below had to give some gifts to welcome them. Xiao He said that if the membership paid is less than one thousand, sit in the hall; if it exceeds one thousand, sit in the room. As for Liu Bang, he actually didn't bring any money, and he said: I'll pay 10,000. Ten thousand was a big gift, which alarmed Mr. Lu, so Mr. Lu personally came to the door to greet him, and then Liu Bang sat at the main table. Lu Gong
"Zizhi Tongjian " does not have these details, and "Records of the Grand Historian" writes this very specifically. "Records of the Grand Historian" records that Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang sat in the top position of the guest and "indulged the guests." It is said that Mr. Lu likes to look at photos. When he saw Liu Bang's extraordinary appearance, he signaled him to stay with his eyes and asked him if he was married or if he had a family, because he wanted to marry his daughter to Liu Bang. How old was Liu Bang when he married , Empress Lu, ? I calculated that Liu Bang should be in his forty years. Empress Lü gave birth to her second son at the age of 32, Emperor Hui of Han Liu Ying, a year before Liu Bang rose up. The eldest princess Lu Yuan was born two years earlier, about 212 BC.
So when Liu Bang got married, he should be around forty-three years old. Empress Lü was fifteen years younger than Liu Bang, and was about twenty-eight or nine years old when she got married. At that time, she was indeed an old girl. It is said that Mrs. Lu was unwilling to do so at that time and said, "Our girl will have a promising future. How can she marry such a person?" Mr. Lu said, "Liu Bang is a potential stock."
Mr. Lu has two daughters and two sons. The youngest daughter later married Fan Kuai, a dog-killing person, and her social status is not much higher. So I guess the description of "Records of the Grand Historian" was added by later generations. It may not be a match for Emperor Gaozu's marriage to Empress Lü.
Fan Kuai
It is said that Empress Lü is very beautiful. After Liu Bang's death, Maodun Shanyu of the Xiongnu proposed to her.But one thing to be said is that before Liu Bang married Empress Lu, he already had a son named Liu Fei , and his mother's surname was about Cao. Look, what kind of person is Liu Bang? He is usually unwilling to do specific things, farming or doing business. He doesn’t like to do such things, but he loves to make friends very much.
Luhou
People like him very much, he is not stingy and very generous. Although he doesn’t have much money, he often treats to dinner. He has his own personal charm, and the minor officials in the pavilion and county, including Xiao He, all admire him very much. In today's words, Liu Bang had an influence on them. Liu Bang was in his forties and had not achieved much. He usually went to work, and sometimes he went home to engage in agricultural production to help Empress Lu farm. There is a record in "Records of the Grand Historian" that Empress Lü took two children in that place, and he also helped him.
Xiao He
So how did the opportunity come about? Opportunity was caused by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's rebellion.
