Hello everyone, I am Captain Nemo. Welcome to take the Nautilus. Captain Nemo takes you to the ocean of knowledge.
Lu Gong married his daughter is a famous event in history. Many people feel incredible that the low-ranking official position of Liu Bang can marry the rich daughter Lu Zhi . Then why did Lu Gong marry his daughter Lu Zhi to Liu Bang? The captain told you in detail.
1, moved to Pei County

Lu Gong (probably named Wen, whose courtesy name is Shuping) is from Shanfu County, Dang County. His daughter is the famous Han Dynasty first empress Lu Zhi.
Mr. Lu Gong had a good relationship with the county magistrate of Pei County. In order to avoid his enemies, he took his whole family to Pei County, went to Pei County, and then settled down in Pei County. The heroes of Pei County heard that there were distinguished guests at the county magistrate’s house, so they all went to congratulate him.

gongcao Xiao He serves as the accountant and is responsible for receiving congratulatory gifts. He said to the guests: "If the gift is less than one thousand coins, you will sit in the hall."
2, and met Liu Bang,
, Gaozu was the pavilion chief, and he was always open to the officials, so he sent a message and said, "Congratulations to 10,000 yuan," but he really didn't hold a single coin. (Records of the Grand Historian: The Original Era of Emperor Gaozu)

The head of the Sishui Pavilion Liu Bang also went to congratulate Lu Gong at that time, but he looked down on other heroes who went to celebrate. However, Liu Bang actually didn't bring a single money, but in order to show off in front of everyone, he deliberately said loudly: "Congratulations to you ten thousand yuan."
Mr. Lu was shocked when he heard this. He thought that the person who came was a distinguished guest, so he went out to greet Liu Bang in person and invited him into the seat. However, Liu Bang's friend Xiao He knew him well and knew that he was bragging, so he kindly reminded Mr. Lu: "Liu Bang likes to talk big, and rarely does things happen."

Liu Bang took the opportunity to play with all the guests and sat in the seat without hesitation. After the banquet ended, Lu Gong winked at Liu Bang and asked him to stay. Liu Bang waited for everyone to disperse and went to talk to Lu Gong.
3, married daughter Liu Bang

Lu Gong said to Liu Bang: "I like to show my face when I was young. When I met more people, there is no one who can compare to you. I hope you can be self-reliant. I have a daughter Lu Zhi, I hope to marry you."
Lu Gong's wife was very unhappy when she heard this, so she asked her husband: "You usually treat your daughter as a way of life." Baby, I hope to marry him to a noble man. The county magistrate has been in good terms with you and has proposed marriage to you many times. Why did you betroth his daughter to Liu Bang today? "
Mr. Lu replied: "This is not something you, a woman, can understand."

Then Lu Zhi married Liu Bang as his wife and gave birth to Liu Ying and Princess Lu Yuan. In the first year of Emperor Gaozu of Han (206 BC), Liu Bang became the king of Han and appointed his father-in-law Lu Gong as the Linsi Hou . In the fourth year of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty (203 BC), Duke Lu died.
4, the reason why Lu Gong married his daughter
Captain believes that the reason why Lu Gong married his daughter Lu Zhi to Liu Bang instead of Pei County Magistrate was mainly the following reasons:
Lu Gong likes to be a good person. Seeing Gaozu's appearance, he respected him highly and brought him into the seat... Lu Gong said: "I am young and like to be a good person. There are many people in the face of Ji, but I am not as good as Ji Xiang, and I hope Ji will love himself. I have a daughter, and I wish to be Ji Ji Zhu's concubine." (Records of the Grand Historian: The Original Records of Emperor Gaozu)

First of all, Lu Gong is good at facing , and he feels that Liu Bang will be indescribable in the future, so the statement that Liu Bang married his daughter Lu Zhi to him is not credible. After all, after Liu Bang's death, Lu Zhi was tyrannical and enfeoffed the Lü family in , suppressing the princes of Liu's surname, which led to the group of meritorious officials and the Liu family's relatives fighting back after his death, massacred all the Lu family, and also obliterating the military achievements of the Lü family in the late Qin Dynasty. If Lu Gongzhen knew how to meet, he would definitely marry his daughter to the county magistrate, so as not to be massacred in the future.
In ancient times, those who were greedy for officials, and those who were well-fed and well-doned were recognized by food and clothing. Only by counting ten points could they become officials. Ten counts are one hundred thousand. (Hanshu )

Secondly, there were property restrictions on officials during the Qin and Han dynasties, and during the Hans and Emperor Jingdi of Han , a person's property must be more than 100,000 yuan to be qualified to become an official.Although it is not clear what the property restrictions for officials during the Qin Dynasty period were, Liu Bang's origin was definitely not an ordinary civilian, but a wealthy family with certain property at home. Liu Bang once admired Xinlingjun and went to Daliang to study for several months. His younger brother Liu Jiao went to Xunzi 's disciple Fuqiubo , which further proves that Liu Bang's family is not bad.
Cao Shen , Pei people. During the Qin Dynasty, he was a prison officer, while Xiao He was the chief official and a wealthy official in the county. (Han Shu·Biography of Cao Shen)

Once again, Liu Bang had a great influence in Pei County, not at all under the magistrate of Pei County. The magistrate of Pei County is a foreigner, and to govern Pei County, it requires the cooperation of subordinates. The two most important subordinates of Pei County, Xiao He and Cao Shen, are both friends of Liu Bang, which shows that Liu Bang's status is extraordinary. In order to avoid enemies, Mr. Lu moved to Pei County, and needed to marry locals to gain a foothold. Obviously, the county magistrate is a vassal official and has term limits. He will be transferred after a period of time and cannot protect the Lu family for a long time. Liu Bang is a hero in Pei County, and it is just right to protect the Lu family.
Because Emperor Gaozu insulted the guests, he sat down and had nothing to do. (Records of the Grand Historian: The Original Annals of Emperor Gaozu)

Although Liu Bang was just a pavilion chief, he dared to openly play with the guests at the banquet, but no one dared to fight back, and even the magistrate of Pei County did not come out to scold him. It can be seen that although Liu Bang is a rogue, he has a domineering aura that makes people dare not fight with him. In addition, after being beaten by Liu Bang, , Xiahou Ying, , insisted that he was injured by himself, and was sentenced to one year in prison. It can be seen that Liu Bang has a kingly aura.
It was first Liu Ma He had a dream of meeting the gods. At that time, the lightning was dark, and Taigong looked at it and saw a dragon on it. After having sex, he gave birth to Emperor Gaozu. (Records of the Grand Historian: The Original Era of Emperor Gaozu)

The last "Records of the Grand Historian" has been written for a hundred years since Liu Bang got married, so the authenticity of his detailed records of the marriage of Lu Gong is worth discussing. In order to strengthen the legitimacy of Liu Bang's reputation as emperor , the book called him a dragon born. The Pei County Magistrate asked Mr. Lu to marry him, but there was no evidence of death. The historian proved that Liu Bang was not unfamiliar by beautifying Mr. Lu's daughter.
