Chapter 019: Rogue Liu Bang 2

What is Liu Bang's surname? The surname is Liu, yes, the surname is Liu. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info what about the name? Wrong, Liu Bang's name is not Bang, so what is it?

"Historical Records: Gaozu Benji" said at the beginning, "Gaozu, a native of Zhongyangli, Peifengyi, surnamed Liu, the word Ji." "Historical Records" does not say names, just words, "Book of Han" refers to names, saying that the surname of Han Gaozu is Liu Mingbang. Even Sima Qian didn't know the name of Han Gaozu, and the entire "Historical Records" couldn't be said clearly.

The three Liu brothers are called Bo, Zhong, and Ji because of their young age, and they are not famous. It seems that Liu Bang is not called Liu Bang, and the word Bang may be the scientific name given to him by the Han Dynasty Shichen Bangu after the Han Gaozu An Bang settled the country. Liu Bang was not originally called Liu Bang, so what was the real name of this great scoundrel when he was in the midst of a storm in history, except for the later titles of Pei Gong and King of Han? People called him Liu Ji, that is, Liu Laosan.

Liu Bang is regarded as the opposite of the tragic hero Xiang Yu, he is regarded as a rogue villain, and even said to be a thick-skinned and black-hearted representative.

The real Liu Bang is a generous person full of filial piety, love, and humanity. Due to his humble background and limited cultural accomplishment, he has a lot of problems. But he knows his mistakes and can change them, is good at listening to the opinions of others, knows people well, and what is more valuable is that after he became the emperor, he can still maintain the true character of a commoner.

Liu Bang was informal, rough and even rude, and when he was a pavilion chief in his early years, he peed into his Confucian hat. Drinking in the taverns of Wang Yuan and Wu Ying, they often pay several times the price of the wine to the restaurant. After entering the customs, he did not kill the prince of Qin who surrendered, and made an agreement with the people, with only three chapters, the murderer died, injured people and stolen to the crime, and all the harsh laws of the Qin Dynasty were abolished.

In contrast, Xiang Yu, who is regarded as a hero, is actually a jealous and murderous and violent person. It is true that Xiang Yu is a fierce general, but he is obviously a little too fierce, he burns Afang Palace, pits the enemy army, cooks ministers, Liu Bang is a civilian who resists violence, and Xiang Yu is a nobleman who takes revenge.

Liu Bang pretended to be a ghost and did a lot of things, saying that his mother Liu Yuan gave birth to Liu Bang with Jiaolong in the wilderness, saying that Liu Bang's high nose bridge has a dragon face, and the thigh has a strange appearance of seventy-two sunspots, and when he is drunk and lying in the tavern, his body shows a dragon shape, and his father-in-law Lu Gong, who is good at face-to-face, pushes the weight, and the mysterious old man looks at Liu Bang and his family have an indescribable appearance, and sends his apprentices to Lishan on the way to kill the white snake turned by the White Emperor at night, Qin Shi Huang said that there is a son of heaven in the southeast and there are often clouds above when hiding in Mangdang Mountain.

All these things of pretending to be gods and ghosts, in that era when people were generally superstitious and believed in the divine authority of the king, were indispensable means for Liu Bang, who was born as a commoner, and it was understandable.

After Liu Bang became the emperor, he still maintained the nature of a commoner, and Liu Bang, who became the emperor, in addition to dealing with military affairs, still greeted his father Liu Taigong once every five days, and saluted like a father and son of ordinary people. Under the suggestion of the Taigong's family order, respecting the Taigong as the emperor solved the problem of Gaozu worshipping people and ministers, and being dignified.

After his father, Mrs. Liu, was taken to Chang'an, he was very depressed because he couldn't see his friends who were butchers in his youth, couldn't buy wine and eat cakes, and fought cocks and bowed. Liu Bang then built a town near Chang'an according to his hometown Feng County, which was later called Xinfeng, and brought all his father's old friends to live there.

Liu Bang defeated the rebellious Duo Bu, and when he returned to Chang'an, he passed through his hometown Pei County, where he had a large feast, drank wine and ate meat, and found someone to sing the "Song of the Great Wind" composed by himself, and enjoyed with his father and fellow villagers for several days. Liu Bang, who became the emperor, even led the army on many occasions, Liu Bang's expedition is different from the dangerous show of today's politicians, and the journey is full of difficulties and dangers.

In the seventh year of Han Gaozu's rebellion against Baitu, Manqiuchen, Wang Huangli, and Zhao Li, Zhao Li was the king, and that time, the weather was cold, and twenty or thirty percent of the soldiers were frozen off their fingers. Liu Bang himself was besieged by the Xiongnu army in Pingcheng for seven days, and almost died there.

In the twelfth year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, when he was chasing the rebel general Di Bu, Liu Bang was hit by a stray arrow, and finally lost his life because he refused the treatment of a good doctor from Empress Lu. It can be seen that on the battlefield, Liu Bang personally braved the arrows and stones to rush to the front, unlike the senior commanders of modern warfare, who hid in command posts far away from danger, strategized and won a decisive victory.

Liu Bang didn't like Liu Ying, the son born to Lu Pheasant, and felt that he was too indecisive, and wanted to make Zhao Wang Ruyi, the son born to his favorite Mrs. Qi, the crown prince, several times. However, because Liu Ying adopted Zhang Liang's strategy and asked Shangshan Sihao to support the scene for himself, Liu Bang could only sigh that Liu Ying was already fledgling, and dispelled the idea of abolishing Prince Liu Ying and setting up another Zhao Wang Ruyi. harmed his beloved Mrs. Qi and King Zhao Ruyi, and both died tragically at the hands of Lu Pheasant in the future.

Speaking of Liu Bang's wife Lu Hou, Lu Zhi is the queen of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and is a very successful woman in history, but so far when people mention her name, the first thing that comes to mind is her viciousness and mutiny.

However, in the early years, Empress Lu was not like this, she could be called a virtuous woman, she went through hardships and hardships for Liu Bang and died all her life.

When she married Liu Bang, Liu Bang was just a swimming pavilion chief in Pei County, and the pavilion chief was equivalent to the director of today's police station. Lv Hou's father is a good friend of Peixian County Commander, when he celebrated his birthday, Liu Bang wanted to celebrate his birthday in order to pat himself, but Liu Bang had no money, but he was thick-skinned and bold, and he actually falsely reported a gift and entered the banquet in a grand manner.

This kind of thing is rare, after Lv Hou's father knew, he originally came out with anger to drive him away, but he was surprised when he saw Liu Bang, because Lv Hou's father was good at the art of face-to-face, that is, to look at the face, Liu Bang's Longzhun dragon face, there is a day of the day, he can see it at a glance, so he immediately made a decision, regardless of his wife's opposition, married his beloved daughter Lu Zhi to Liu Bang, a small official like a sesame mung bean.

After Liu Bang married Empress Lu, he often went around for official duties and with friends, and there was no one at the head for three days, weaving cloth and plowing the fields, cooking and laundry, filial piety to his parents and the responsibility of raising children, all of which fell on Empress Lu alone.

In his early years, Liu Bang could be said to be a bit of a scoundrel, often wearing a homemade bamboo hat to wander around, cheating on food and drink, once escorting prisoners, because he was drunk and the prisoners escaped, and he had to die in the swampy area under Mangdang Mountain. In addition to supporting the family, the virtuous Empress Lu also traveled long distances from time to time to deliver clothes and food to her husband. It is said that the place where Liu Bang hid and lived, there was often a cloud shrouded in air, and if Empress Lu followed him, he would definitely be able to find Liu Bang.

At the end of Qin, the world was in turmoil, Liu Bang led the people into Pei County and was proclaimed as the Duke of Pei, and the Empress Lu was also rising at that time, and was honored as Mrs. Lu, and when Liu Bang invaded Xianyang, he was established as the king of Han by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Empress Lu was promoted to become a princess.
