In February, Liu Bang ordered the establishment of Zongzheng officials to order the nine clans. In April, Liu Bang left Chang'an and went to Luoyang.

In the winter of the 8th year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (BC200), Liu Bang led his army to the county of Changshan County to conquer the remnants of Han Wangxin.

On the way back to Chang'an, he passed through a place called Bai Ren in Handan County.

Guan Gao finally waited for the opportunity and decided to assassinate Liu Bang in Bairen.

At the location of the assassination, Guan Gao did not choose to ambush the roadside, let alone face the killing, but hid in the mezzanine of the toilet and waited for Hou Liu Bang.

Guan Gao is expected to stay: Liu Bang must stay here, and he must choose the Bairen Guest House for the night.

If you can enter the guest house, you have to go to the pigsty to go to the toilet.

As long as people come in, they can slaughter Liu Bang as a pig; Even if you can't go to the toilet, you can still sneak into the room and kill him by surprise!

Things were just as Guan Gao expected, when Liu Bang passed through the Bai people, he planned to stay overnight.

But suddenly, his perceptive brain seemed to receive an ominous signal from outside the sky, so he asked left and right, "What is this place?"

Left and right answer "Kashiwa"

Liu Bang's heart moved, "Those who are cypress are forced by others." It's ominous, not a good place to stay"

This is the most classic Shuowen Jiezi in Chinese history, nearly 300 years earlier than Mr. Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jiezi" in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Mr. Xu Shen, do you know: More than 200 years ago, Liu Bang's solution to the Chinese language has gone far beyond the original meaning of words, reaching the point of the unity of heaven and man, and the earth-shattering crying ghosts and gods.

Such an achievement should be called a genius in deciphering words.

China has a long history of divination and fortune telling, and one of them is the splitting of characters.

How much cultural magic does Chinese characters contain?

No one knows.

We only heard: when Cangjie succeeded in creating characters, the wind and rain were raging, and the gods were crying and howling.

Could it be that Cangjie has cracked the secret that only gods and ghosts know, otherwise why is he so sad and sad?

In any case, there is indeed a kind of fortune teller who specializes in arithmetic for a living.

Of course, the way it explains is bizarre, always inexplicable, and all of them are convincing.

Liu Bang was partial to fortune-telling when he was young, and we have reason to believe that his inspiration for creating gods and his ability to speak and interpret characters were all learned from fortune tellers.

Guan Gao really couldn't cry or laugh at this moment, and he worked hard to squat in the pigsty and wait for a long time, but he still let the cunning Liu Bang smell the smell of death.

knew that Liu Bang was so fond of speaking and interpreting words, and he should not have chosen Bai as the place of action in the first place.

But regret is useless, Liu Bang really didn't spend the night in Bairen, and in December, Liu Bang returned to Chang'an.

The assassination of Liu Bang was inexplicably miscarried... In March of the 8th year of Han Gaozu (BC199), Liu Bang went to Luoyang.

In September, Liu Bang returned to Chang'an.

Huainan Wang Yingbu, Liang Wang Peng Yue, Zhao Wang Zhang Ao, and Chu King Liu Jiao all entered the customs with him.

Chang'an has tall and spacious palaces, refreshing and appetizing wine, and a jade body that warms the body and keeps out the cold, but Liu Bang is still worried, unable to sit on the seat, and unable to sleep.

And the person who worries Liu Bang is Mao Dun!

Liu Bang's head is big.

The Manchu dynasty is up and down, it seems that only Lou Jing still has some way to deal with the Huns?

So Liu Bang found Lou Jing, "This Mao Dun, do you have a way to deal with him?"

Lou Jing was silent.

Liu Bang's most crazy thing is this trick of not nodding and not shaking his head.

And then he asked, "Yes or no?" Tell me something."

This sentence seems to have become Liu Bang's talk show, just like he is in a hurry to run for his life when something happens.

But Lou Jing's silence is really not a show, but it is really difficult to speak, he is afraid that if he opens his mouth to say what he thinks, not only will he not please him, but he will also get into trouble.

But the emperor is in a hurry like this, and it won't work if he doesn't speak.

Lou Jing then sold a pass, and slowly spoke, "The world has been decided, whether it is the people or the soldiers, they are exhausted, if the army is re-established to expedition against the Huns, this will not work." And Mao Dun is a person, just kill Daddy, and take all of Daddy's wives as own. If such a beast wants to persuade him with benevolence and righteousness, I am afraid it will not work."

Hearing this, Liu Bang's heart was half cold.

Hard can't work, soft can't work, isn't that no way?

Lou Jing continued, "The only way we have now is to put aside the contradictions for the time being, endure the humiliation, take a long-term view, and let the descendants of Maudun submit to my Han."

Liu Bang didn't know what Lou Jing was doing for a while.

Is it to shift the responsibility to the next generation and let them solve the Huns?

That's too unkind, isn't it?

Let's not talk about how can there be such a father in the world, who doesn't work hard to clear the way for his offspring, but still wants to throw the stone to his offspring to move?

And can you guarantee that I will give birth to a dragon?

Can you get the Huns?

If the descendants of the future generations are unable to deal with the Xiongnu, they may blame the previous generation for shirking their responsibilities, then I won't be infamous through the ages?

In the end, even if we don't care about the descendants, but now the Huns have repeatedly violated the side and are arrogant.

Can you guarantee that my great man will be passed down from generation to generation?

Lou Jing saw Liu Bang's doubts, and then said, "As long as Your Majesty can give up the child, you are not afraid of not being able to trap the wolf."

Liu Bang seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

I have children, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to trap the wolf if I give up the child.

Lou Jing: "Your Majesty, please pay attention, I told you to give up a girl, not a boy"

Liu Bang was even more puzzled.

My Liu family Ding Xingwang, can't even think of having a boy, there is only one girl, Princess Lu Yuan, who has already married Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao.

But Comrade Lou Jing, what you said is very divine, I can't figure out what kind of medicine you sell in your gourd, can you tell me clearly!

Now that the leaders have spoken, let's make it clear at once!

At this time, Lou Jingcai shook out his plan completely, and the core of this plan was to make peace with his relatives, "If Your Majesty is willing to marry Princess Lu Yuan to Mao Dun Shan Yu and give a generous gift to the past, Mao Dun will admire your status as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and establish Princess Lu Yuan as the Yan family." In the future, the son born to Princess Lu Yuan, that is, your grandson, will inevitably become the crown prince. When Your Majesty gives gifts to your grandson during the New Year's holidays, he secretly sends some people who can speak well and have the quality of education to teach his grandson, so that he can understand how his grandfather is good to him, and he must know how to treat his grandfather well. The benefits are not only there, Mao Dun was your son-in-law when he was alive, so he naturally did not dare to meet in vain. As long as Mao Dun dies, your grandson will naturally become the Shan Yu of the Huns. Since ancient times, I have never heard of a grandson daring to get along with his grandfather, and in the future, your grandson will not only not be unable to get along with the Han Dynasty, but will also be able to obediently make him obey the Han Dynasty without going through war."

Lou Jing paused, and said solemnly, "However, please note: if the emperor wants to marry, he has to marry the real Princess Lu Yuan!" If the emperor is reluctant, don't use this tactic. Otherwise, once Mao Dun finds out that you are sending a fake princess, the consequences will be unimaginable."

High, really high!

Not only is it high, but it is also particularly damaging to people.

I really don't know where Zhang Ao, the weak King Zhao, offended Lou Jing?

actually let him come up with this plan to break up a pair of century-old good unions?

Liu Bang really didn't expect it: When Pengcheng was defeated, when he kicked Princess Lu Yuan out of the car, he didn't expect Xiahou Ying to get into the car, just to save the country from danger today?

Thank God, thank you Xiahou Ying and Lou Jing!

Daughter, this is God's arrangement, not what my father wants!

Dad can only grieve you for a trip!

Lou Jing did not deeply move Liu Bang, but conquered him unreasonably.

Liu Bang promised Lou Jing on the spot: he is willing to marry Princess Lu Yuan to the Huns, and at the same time sign a contract of friendly exchanges between the two countries in order to achieve peace!

The reason why Liu Bang is convinced of Lou Jing's pro-Gao theory can find a lot of reasons, and he can even write a feasibility report analysis of tens of thousands of words.

But it boils down to about the following two things: 1 Liu Bang once tasted the sweetness.

The night before the Hongmen banquet, it was precisely because of his marriage with Xiang Bo that Xiang Bo rescued him again and again.

As long as it is a person, there is always a problem, I am not afraid of enmity, I am afraid that I will not be related, especially the relationship between generations and blood.

As long as there is a relationship, how much hatred can be gradually dissolved, even if it cannot be resolved temporarily.

2 Liu Bang is old.

He is 58 years old this year, and he can't stand the toss of many war years.

Lou Jing is right, don't say that the soldiers are tired of war, even Liu Bang himself is tired of it.

Besides, the world was initially decided, and the country was still full of crises, judging from the two cases of Yan Wang Zang Di and Han Wangxin, these kings with different surnames are not very reliable, and he still wants to leave more energy to deal with the remaining kings with different surnames.

If you want to go outside, you must first settle inside.

Therefore, in the war with the Huns, if you can fight less, you will fight less, and in the end, you will not fight, and when the time is ripe, it will not be too late to clean up.

Lou Jing's view is not flawless, but one thing is certain: Lou Jing invented an age-old diplomatic strategy to alleviate the confrontation between the Han Chinese and the nomadic enemies in the northwest!

And the author has to doubt: China's "thick exchanges"

The tradition is from Lou Jing's harmony and pro-theory!

After Liu Bang made up his mind, he went to talk to Lu Pheasant.

As soon as Lu Pheasant heard this, tears immediately rushed out like a flood, day and night, "Liu San, Liu San, since you hid in Mangdang Mountain as a bandit, I have followed you to run around, fighting in the south and in the north." However, no matter how much hardship I suffered, and even almost lost my life, I have no regrets, but if you really want to marry my daughter to the Huns, I hate you to death, and I will not spare you as a ghost."

Born in troubled times, you male political animals have no idea what we dream of being a woman.

I love my daughter and I love my son-in-law.

Although Zhang Ao is not as charismatic and shining as his father Zhang Er, he is kind, humble, and worthy of being a good husband and son-in-law, which is enough.

And the Huns are far away, and the beasts are dominant, and if you push my daughter on him, isn't it the same as throwing it into the tiger's mouth?

was cried and fussed by his wife like this, Liu Bang's mind was completely confused.

Looking back, he really didn't seem to care about his daughter seriously for many years.

When he was the pavilion chief, he was busy working, drinking, and pickling girls, and the children could only crawl on the ground to play with the mound and watch their mother work alone in the field.

Later, when he fought the world, he was busy running for his life and drifting away for a long time, and he didn't seem to have said a few words to his daughter.

Now that the country has something to do, is it a bit too ruthless to kick her out of the Central Plains as a stranger?

Yes, I am an irresponsible father, but I must be a responsible emperor.

At present, there is no better way to save the cost of the state except for harmony.

In addition, I really don't have a second daughter, and Lou Jing said that I must have my own daughter.

In this situation, you call me the country?

Or do you want a daughter?

If you say that, then Princess Lu Yuan has to go to hell?

No!

Lu Pheasant wiped away his tears and said to Liu Bang with a firm will, "You beat down the big man, if you want to go to hell, it won't be the turn of the Son of Heaven."

Liu Bang asked, "Then if Princess Lu Yuan doesn't go to hell, who will?"

Lu Pheasant: "There are women in the world, except for my daughter, you can find whoever you like"

Liu Bang is really out of line.

What should I do now?

Does it have to find a substitute for the dead ghost for Lu Pheasant to stop?

Liu Bang thought about it, so he had to retreat to the second.

That is to risk finding someone to replace Princess Lu Yuan and marry the Huns!

In the 9th year of Han Gaozu (BC199) in October New Year, Weiyang Palace held a banquet.

Liu Bang personally sat up to celebrate the birthday of the emperor.

After the Emperor Taishang drank several glasses, the wine was in full swing, and Liu Bang stepped forward and asked, "In the past, my father always said that I was a scoundrel and couldn't manage property, and I didn't have the second brother Liu Zhong's talent." Now I ask my father: Compared with my second brother's family property, who is more?"

The big hooligan forced his old father to be speechless, and laughed all over the court.

In October, Liu Bang secretly pretended to be the eldest princess Lu Yuan with a family member, and was ready to marry Mao Dun as his wife.

Lou Jing had no choice but to take this "Princess Lu Yuan"

and a lot of generous gifts, set off for the Xiongnu.

He set off at the beginning of the month and returned to Chang'an at the end of the month.

Lou Jing, who did not fail in his mission, not only brought back the news of the armistice, but also brought back the friendship contract between the two countries, the main contents of which are as follows: 1. The Han Dynasty used the princess of the clan to marry Yu as the Yan clan, and gave a certain amount of flocculents, silk, wine, and food to the Xiongnu every year; 2 The Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu became brothers.

The two peoples are engaged in production in their respective regions and do not interfere with each other; 3. Opening of the "Seki City"

to allow trade between the two peoples.

The two sides exchanged goods and goods through customs transactions and strengthened economic exchanges.

The above three items made Liu Bang much easier all of a sudden.

But Lou Jing's expression was solemn, and he made another suggestion to Liu Bang.

This proposal is related to the Xiongnu, but it is mainly related to domestic construction, which is about the construction of the capital Chang'an City.

Lou Jing thinks so: The construction of the capital Chang'an is urgent, and there are two reasons: 1. The Baiyang, Lou Fu and other tribes in the south of the Xiongnu River are only 700 miles away from Chang'an, and they can reach Guanzhong by light riding in one day and one night.

However, the newly broken Guanzhong could not contain the invasion of foreign enemies.

The only way is to relocate the people, develop the productive forces, and the conditions for relocation are ripe and can be implemented; 2The descendants of the nobles of the six kingdoms are still strong and scattered in their homeland.

Once there is trouble, it will be out of control.

It's better to move them into Chang'an.

In this way, it is not only useful for the development of Chang'an's economy and culture, but also can easily control these people.

In short, it kills three birds with one stone: prevent the Huns, promote production, and control the aristocracy!

Lou Jing's technique of strengthening the foundation and weakening the end made Liu Bang suddenly gain a lot of insight in governing the country.

In ancient China, the problem of the state was the economic problem, and the economic problem was, in the final analysis, the problem of population.

In an agrarian society, if it wants to promote the development of productive forces, it must have a sufficient population.

There is no population or insufficient population, let alone the dream of a strong country.

Therefore, every time the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States won a war, the first thing they did was to rob the jewels and population of other countries, and the population was the treasure of the treasure.

In the case of governing the country, and even more so in governing the capital, the population problem must be solved first and foremost.

In November, Liu Bang put Lou Jing's suggestion into practice, and moved more than 100,000 people, including the descendants of the six countries and Haojie, represented by the Huai clan and the Tian clan of Qi and the Zhao clan, Qu clan, and Jing clan of Chu State, into Guanzhong, and allocated them land so that they could live and work in peace and contentment.

Of course, there are pros and cons to this plan.

These powerful clans took root in Guanzhong in the future, and gradually began to run rampant.

Therefore, Gyeonggi Sanfu was known as intractable in the Han Dynasty.

This is not a scourge left by Lou Jing!
