The Han Dynasty was founded and there were many talents. The sixteenth volume of the Book of Han records that as of the year of Liu Bang's death, there were 143 meritorious heroes. Liu Bang grew up in Pei County until he was forty-seven years old, and he also rebelled in Pei County, so the founding heroes mainly came from the Fengpei region, and there is a special name in history: Fengpei Heroes Group. In contrast, the heroes from other regions seem to be alone.

By the time the Emperor Lu was in power, the heroes of abundance and those who participated in the revolution halfway were almost equally divided. The main figures of Fengpei Heroes Group are Zhou Bo, Xiahou Ying, Marquis of Ruyin, and Wang Ling of An Guohou, and the heroes who come halfway include Qu Reverse Hou Chen Ping, Qu Zhou Hou Li Shang, Yingyin Hou Guan Ying and others. Among these people, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo have the highest positions. Chen Ping served as the right prime minister, and Zhou Bo became a lieutenant a few years ago, which is equivalent to the minister of defense. Chen Ping and Zhou Bo thus became big brothers in their respective circles.

Empress Lu violated the covenant and named her mother's family as the king, and the heroes reluctantly accepted it, but they didn't expect that Empress Lu became more and more extreme, and constantly persecuted Liu Bang's children and grandchildren. These heroes followed Liu Bang from birth to death, they are not just monarchs and ministers, they are also friends, in today's words, they have a friendship cemented by blood. Liu Bang's descendants withered, and the Liu family was about to be surnamed Lu, and the heroes were uneasy.

Since Chen Ping became the right prime minister, he has shown that he is not keen on government affairs and likes to drink and have fun. Empress Lü's sister, Lü Xiao, hated Chen Ping because Chen Ping had arrested her husband Fan Hao on Liu Bang's orders. Lu Xiao often said in front of Empress Lu that Chen Ping didn't care about political affairs, drinking and picking up girls. When Empress Lu heard this, she was happy. Chen Ping, who does not seek to be motivated, reassures Empress Lu.

In front of Lu Xiao. Empress Lu said to Chen Ping: "As the saying goes, children and women can't listen to their words. As long as you are loyal to me, don't be afraid that Lu Xiao will say bad things about you. ”

In fact, Chen usually paid attention to the political situation all the time, and was very worried about the situation of the Lu family's power, but considering that his strength was limited and he could not fight, he was worried that it would not work, but he put himself in. He often stayed at home and sat quietly thinking about what to do. His heart was seen by one man.

This person is our old acquaintance Lu Jia. Lu Jia appeared three times in the previous story. I forgot to mention that Lu Jia also belongs to the kind of smart people who are good at both seeking the country and their lives.

Although Lu Jia did not approve, he knew that it would be useless to argue strongly, so he resigned and lived at home. He had five sons, and he gave a thousand gold, and divided it equally among his sons, two hundred gold each. Lu Jia left himself a luxurious carriage, ten servants, and a sword worth a hundred gold.

Lu Jia and his sons agreed to live in the five sons' homes in turn. Each stay does not exceed 10 days. In the future, when the family falls ill and dies, the sword, the luxury car, and the servants will be inherited.

The sons did not complain. Lu Jia travels extensively, he often goes to his friends' houses to play, and only goes to his son's house two or three times a year. Until Lu Jia's death, his sons were very filial. Compared with modern times, there are often old people on the news who sell their houses to join their children, but they are abandoned by their children, and the wisdom of life is not as good as that of the ancients more than 2,000 years ago!

Once, Lu Jia went to Chen Ping's house. Without waiting for the report, he walked straight into the inner room, walked to Chen Ping's side and sat down. Chen Ping was pondering, and Lu Jia didn't notice it when he arrived.
