Jiashen began to dissect the heroes as princes.

Xiao He sealed the marquis. There are many food districts. All the heroes said: "The ministers are stubbornly sharpened, more than 100 battles, and fewer dozens of battles." Now Xiao He has not tasted the hard work, and he has been discussing in vain, and the credit is on the minister. Why is that? ”

The emperor said, "Do you know about hunting? The one who chases and kills the beast rabbit when hunting is a dog. And it is a human who indicates the location of the beast rabbit. Now all the kings and disciples can get the beast, and the merit is equal to the dog. As for Xiao Hefa's instructions, the credit is equal to that of people, who do you think has the greatest credit? ”

The ministers did not dare to speak. Zhang Liang was a minister, and he had no fighting skills, so the emperor made him choose 30,000 households.

Zhang Liang said: "The ministers raised troops in Xiapi and joined the emperor in Chenliu. This is a heaven to give His Majesty, Your Majesty used the minister's strategy, fortunately from time to time. It is enough for the ministers to be willing to keep the land, and they dare not be 30,000 households. ”

So Zhang Liang was named the marquis. Feng Chen Ping is the marquis of the household. Chen Ping excused himself and said: "This is not the credit of the minister, the minister does not dare to be it." ”

The emperor said: "I will use my husband's strategy to defeat the enemy." What is not the credit? ”

Chen Ping said: "If it weren't for Wei Wuzhi, how could the minister be used? ”

The emperor said: "Like you, you don't forget your roots." So he rewarded Wei Wuzhi again.

The emperor decided that the world was the first, the children were young, and the Kundi was few. punished Qin for dying due to isolation, and wanted to seal the same surname to fill the world.

On the first day of the first month of spring. The land of Han Xin, the king of Chu, was divided into two vassal states. Liu Jia, the elder brother general of the fifty-three counties of Huaidong, was the king of Jing. With Xue County, Donghai, and Pengcheng 36 counties, his younger brother Wenxinjun Liu Jiao was the king of Chu.

Renzi, to the clouds. Fifty-three counties of Yanmen Dai County, his brother Yixin Marquis Liu Xi was named the acting king. Jiaodong, Jiaoxi, Linzi Jibei. In the seventy-three counties of Chengyang County, Boyang, Liu Fei, the son of his grandmother, was the king of Qi. All the people who can speak the local dialect of Qi are allocated to the Qi country.

The emperor is wise and talented with Han*, and the king's land is near Luoluo in the north, Wanye in the south, and Huaiyang in the east, all of which are the places where the world's strong soldiers gather, so he took the 31 counties of Taiyuan County as South Korea and moved Han* to Taiyuan. In order to prepare for the Hu people in the north. Dingdu Jinyang. Han* Shangshu said: "The country is close to the north, and the Xiongnu often enter the Kou. Jinyang is far away from the border and asks for the opening of a city for raising horses. ”

The emperor granted Han*'s request.

The emperor has made more than 20 meritorious heroes. The rest of the people fought day and night for merit, so that they could not decide. Therefore, it has not been sealed. The emperor was in the South Palace of Luoyang, and when he saw the generals from the Fudao, he often sat in the sand and talked to each other. The emperor said, "What are they talking about? ”

Liuhou Zhang Liang said: "Your Majesty doesn't know? They are plotting rebellion. ”

The emperor said: "The world has just stabilized, why should they rebel? ”

Liuhou said: "Your Majesty started from cloth clothes and relied on them to calm the world. Now His Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and all those he has sealed are his old people and his dear, and all those he has killed are those he has hated in his life. Today's military officials count their merits, thinking that the world is not enough to seal it all. These people were afraid that His Majesty would not be able to complete the seal, and they were afraid that His Majesty would be punished because he suspected his usual mistakes, so they gathered together to plot a rebellion. ”

The emperor said worriedly: "Then what should I do?" ”

Liuhou said: "Who is the person Your Majesty resents the most in his life and is known to all his ministers? ”

The emperor said: "Yongya has an old grudge against me, and has embarrassed me many times. I wanted to kill him, but I couldn't bear to think about his merits. ”

Liuhou said: "Your Majesty is now hurry up and seal the Yongya first, so that everyone in the ministers will be self-reliant. ”

So the emperor put wine and sealed Yongya as the Marquis of Shifang. Then urged the prime minister to hurry up and reward the meritorious deeds. The ministers stopped drinking, and they all whispered happily: "Yongya is still a marquis, so we don't have to worry." ”

Sima Guang commented: Zhang Liang was a minister of Emperor Gao and entrusted him with his confidants. You should know everything, how can you hear that the generals are plotting rebellion and don't make a plan first. Do you have to wait until the emperor sees them gathering and discussing, and his heart is questioning? Just because Emperor Gao first won the world, he has repeatedly rewarded him with his hobbies and hatreds. It is often detrimental to the public. In this way, the ministers have a sense of resentment and self-endangerment. Therefore, Zhang Liang deliberately made advice based on the matter. With the will of the mutant emperor, there will be no selfish mistakes. There is no suspicion. The country is safe, and it will benefit future generations. Like Zhang Liang, it can be called a good advice.

The princes have all been sealed. An edict was issued to determine the ranking of eighteen Yuan Gong. Everyone said: "Pingyang Hou Cao Shen, with seventy creations on his back, conquering the city and conquering the city, has the most credit, and should be the first." ”

Hou Eqianqiu, the author of Guannei, said: "Everyone's arguments are wrong. Although Cao Shen has the merit of being a wild strategic place, this is all a temporary thing. The saint was five years apart from the Chu State, and he lost his army and lost his people. Jumped and fled many times. However, Xiao He often sent troops from Guanzhong to replenish the soldiers, and if it was not recruited by the emperor's edict, tens of thousands of people would gather. There is no cash food in the army, and Xiao He is in the middle of the pass. There is no shortage of food. Although His Majesty was defeated in Shandong several times, Xiao He often waited for His Majesty in the whole pass. That's what works forever. Although there are no Cao Shen and others today, why is there a shortage of Han? Why should we now add the work of the moment to the work of eternity? The minister thought that Xiao He was the first. Cao Shen is second. ”

The emperor said, "Absolutely right. ”

So he can cover the sword and go to the palace, and he can avoid entering the court.
