Soon after, Liu Bang evaluated his merits and rewarded him. After writing "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info finished this matter, Liu Bang left Luoyang and returned to Liyang to visit his father.

After returning to Liyang, Liu Bang followed the usual practice of saying that he would greet his father every five days, and he would greet him again every day.

In the face of the filial piety of the emperor's son, Liu Taigong didn't think much about it, but there was no shortage of sober-minded people next to him.

A family order came to Taigong Liu: "Although the emperor is your son, he is also the lord of the world; Although you are the emperor's father, you are still a personal minister. Where in the world is there anyone who worships the truth of the Lord?"

Mrs. Liu was shocked that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked this family order: Then what kind of etiquette should we use when our father and son meet?

The family order taught him to welcome the door before he was courteous.

So when it came to another day when Liu Bang came to see him, Mrs. Liu hurriedly hugged the door, Liu Bang was surprised, and hurriedly got out of the car to support the old father.

Liu Taigong said, "Now that you are the emperor, how can you disturb the law of the world for me?"

Liu Bang was secretly proud in his heart, but he also knew that his old father, who was born as a peasant in the countryside, would not have such knowledge, so he asked who taught him?

Mrs. Liu replied that it was taught by his own family order, and Liu Bang immediately ordered to reward this family order with 500 catties of gold.

On May 23, Liu Bang officially honored his father Liu Taigong as the emperor.

This year, the fateful opponent that has entangled the young empire all his life has finally appeared strongly: the Huns!

Under the leadership of Mao Dun Shan Yu, they walked out of the vast Mongolian steppe and completely opened a century-old feud with the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains!

In 209 BC, after he shot his father Touman with a flying sound and established himself as the second generation of the Xiongnu, Shan Yu, his next goal was to destroy the nomadic Donghu to the east, also on the steppe.

But Donghu was too strong, so Mao Dun was like dealing with Daddy Touman, enduring humiliation, strengthening training, and waiting for the opportunity.

At this time, Donghu Danyu sent an envoy to Mao Dun, "I heard that your father is dead, and I want the BMW he once ridden"

Needless to say, this is a live provocation and bullying!

Mao Dun's subordinates all jumped up, "This is the best Maxima of our Huns, and it must not be given to Donghu"

Mao Dun smiled, why should he hurt the peace of his neighbors because of a horse?

Give it to them.

So Maudun gave Maxima to Donghu.

However, a few days later, Donghu sent another envoy and said to Mao Dun, "I heard that Shan Yu is very beautiful in your Yanshi, and I want your Yanshi"

Donghu's move is called the radical method, and what BMW and Yan's are fake.

He's ready, just waiting for Maudon to make a move, and as soon as you make a move, they'll come at him like Maudun's flying dysprosium.

This time, Mao Dun's subordinates also couldn't sit still anymore, we didn't exert our authority, do you Donghu really think we are sick cats?

So they unanimously shouted to Mao Dun, "Donghu is simply too deceitful, please go out as soon as possible and do him Donghu a dog."

Mao Dun laughed again, and said to the ministers, "Why hurt the peace of the neighbor because of a little woman, let's give it to him"

Seeing that the beloved woman has been robbed, can we still laugh?

If you endure it again and again, the next time Donghu asks you to cut the soil and sacrifice your life, will you be reluctant?

The ministers guessed right!

When Mao Dun sent his dearest Yan clan away, Donghu Danyu's arrogant tail almost rose to the sky.

It is said that between Donghu and the Xiongnu, there is a piece of land more than 1,000 miles long, and the two countries have always set up sentry posts on their respective borders to defend it, so this land sandwiched between the two countries has become a common land, and now the Donghu people have the idea of this commons.

The reason why the Donghu people chose this useless land was not because they loved it, but because they used it to force and test the Xiongnu.

If Maudun can abandon the public land, then the next step is probably the private land.

This idea even Donghu has to think of himself as proud: if you don't give it, I will beat you; If you give it, I'll continue to blackmail you until I finish eating you!

So, Donghu sent another envoy to Mao Dun and said, "I want the abandoned land between the two countries, please give it to me."

This time, Mao Dun stopped smiling, and he asked the minister very seriously, "Donghu forced us to cede the public land, what do you think about this?"

This time the ministers were no longer as energetic as the previous two times, and they disagreed, some said that it was an abandoned piece of land that could be given; Some said they couldn't give it.

After listening to all the opinions, Maudon stood up and scolded, "Stupid! The land, the foundation of the country, how can it be given to Donghu for nothing"

Immediately pull out all those who are in favor of ceding the land and behead them!

After that, Mao Dun jumped on his war horse and loudly announced, "Today we are going to fight to the death with Donghu, and those who come out of the country will be killed."

Maudun's battle was truly brilliant.

He knew that Donghu had tasted the sweetness many times, and the warriors would be proud and loose in defense.

And he slays the slack-off army with the army of rage, and God will only be on his side, not for Donghu.

Sure enough, when Mao Dun led a group of fierce Hun warriors to Donghu, it was like a pack of wolves breaking into the sheepfold, and Donghu was crushed for thousands of miles and was wiped out by Mao Dun.

After destroying Donghu, Mao Dun took advantage of the victory to attack the Yue clan to the west.

The Yueshi were driven west further west by Maudun.

Immediately afterwards, the minority tribes such as Loufu and Baiyang in the northwest were also annexed by Maodun.

Immediately after, Mao Dun entered the Central Plains and recovered all the Henan land that was taken away by the Qin general Meng Tian... In this way, when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu Chuhan were fighting, Mao Dun became the biggest king of the Mongolian steppe like a fierce snake swallowing an elephant!

At this time, Maudun had more than 300,000 people who controlled the strings.

The so-called man who controls the strings is the cavalry, and a cavalry 2,000 years ago is no less than a tank on the modern battlefield.

At that time, more than 300,000 tanks lined up on the steppe, who could resist?

With unprecedented strength, Maudun is ready to create a myth and a great era that belongs to him!

He aimed his first target at the Han princes stationed in Mayi: Han Wangxin!

Han Wangxin at this time is not Meng Tian ten years ago; At this time, the Huns were not a wreck that was chased by Meng Tian and fled for more than 700 miles ten years ago.

In the autumn of BC201, the Han Dynasty will change the direction of history with the invasion of Maudun!

In the autumn of that year, Han Wangxin was besieged by the Xiongnu army in the city of Mayi.

Han Wangxin could only ask the Xiongnu for reconciliation on the one hand, and Liu Bang for help on the other.

The Han Dynasty also sent rescue troops, but when they heard that Han Wangxin had contacted the Xiongnu without Liu Bang's nod and consent, they immediately suspected that Han Wangxin had two hearts, so they sent envoys to scold Han Wangxin for not understanding the rules.

Han Wangxin really endured hardships and was not pleased, and his stomach was full of anger.

I begged the Huns to delay the army, you Liu Bang moved me to this shabby place in Mayi, not to mention the hardships and suffering, and even said that I didn't understand the rules?

Didn't you force me to rebel?

Well, if you doubt me, I'll show you the truth!

So in September, Han Wangxin really surrendered to the Xiongnu.

Mao Dunshan Yu also took the opportunity to lead the Xiongnu army to cross the Juzhu Mountain at the junction of Yanmen County and Taiyuan County, and entered Taiyuan County, all the way to the city of Jinyang!

When the clouds of war were hanging over the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty, the bigwigs of the Han Dynasty were still intoxicated with the old dreams of the heroes.

These self-made nouveau riche, in addition to eating and drinking from the sea all day long, are bragging and competing for merit.

There's no way, the country was indeed laid by them, if you don't want them to blow it, how can it be?

At this time, it was just when Liu Bang finished rewarding his meritorious deeds, and everyone got a reward they deserved, so Liu Bang set up a banquet to entertain his ministers every day, and these people were even more unscrupulous.

When this group of people is normal, they are almost mostly rough people; When killing enemies, they are almost red-eyed animals; When you're drunk, it's a crowd of demons dancing.

At the feast, I saw that everyone was drunk, and some people ran outside the palace, shouting and roaring at the sky, counting how many bad things happened in the tyrannical Qin; Some people drew their long swords and struck the long hall while shouting; Some people even poured wine on each other's heads, or PK the amount of alcohol with their bare arms and thighs; Some of them looked like crazy, raising their wine and smiling sizzling at Liu Bang!

It's messy, it's really messy!

This scene can be described by a Confucian sentence: the king is not the king, and the minister is not the minister.

Liu Bang shook his head when he saw it, and he was really depressed.

In the long run, if they do not have the dignity of the Son of Heaven in their eyes, and there is no humility of their subordinates in their courtesy, then what should I, the emperor, be?

Haven't you really become a hooligan?

Liu Bang really wanted to find someone to give these people a good etiquette lesson, but when he thought of the Qin Dynasty's big gifts, his heart also straightened up.

Qin Shi Huang's set of etiquette of respect and humility is simply not learned by people, a lot of red tape, walking in the palace is like stepping on a minefield, every step you take, you have to think about whether it is polite; Every time I say something, I wonder if it's polite; Every time you do something, is it not in line with etiquette?

This set of messy and harsh methods had to be scrapped and only simplified... But now, it's ridiculously simple!

Just like the scene of the banquet in front of you, the problem is already very serious.

Don't be courteous, courtesy will be treated!

A new set of court rituals must be used to restrain the ministers, otherwise, the court will be a bunch of hooligans and beasts.

If you want to learn the court, you must first recommend Confucianism.

Confucianism is the originator of Chinese etiquette and is a time-honored inspection-free enterprise.

But the problem comes again, an emperor like Comrade Ying Zheng, who does not love Confucianism but only loves Legalism, has so many troublesome rituals, if he really wants to learn back to Confucianism, is it not troublesome on top of trouble?

Of course, things were not as bad as Liu Bang thought.

Someone has come up with a set of solutions to the Chaoyi problem for Liu Bang: Uncle Sun Tong, a native of Xue County, Lu Guo!

The country of Lu is the hometown of the Confucian sage, which is a place dedicated to the production of masters of rituals, a tradition that has been passed down since before Confucius.

If the princes of the world want to practice the law of court, and if they want to get the real thing, they will get the country of Lu, which monopolizes the state of etiquette... Shusun Tong was not personally invited by Liu Bang, but he took the initiative to send it to the door.

This uncle and grandson Tong, for half of his life, can be described in one word: slippery head.

But there are many kinds of slippery heads, and some people are just cute to slippery, and Shusun Tong is one of them.

Uncle and grandson relied on etiquette to fight all over the world, and they could catch up to the era of Qin II.

At that time, because of his good writing and knowledge, Shusun Tong was conscripted into the palace to be appointed as a doctor.

In ancient times, Dr. was not the current doctor, but an official name, mainly responsible for the management of documents and archives, compilation of books and writings, teaching knowledge, training talents, etc., and his position was equivalent to that of the head of the National Library today.

Later, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled in Daze Township, and the slippery uncle Sun Tong fled to his hometown to hide after deceiving Qin II.

Since then, he has taken refuge in no less than ten people, including Xiang Liang, Chu Huaiwang, and Xiang Yu, and finally came to Liu Bang to make a living.

We know that Liu Bang hates readers, especially those useless Confucians.

Shusun Tong's career is only in the ceremony, not in the military book.

So if you want him to come up with a plan like Li Shiqi, it's harder than ascending to the sky.

However, Liu Bang still likes Shusun Tong, in the final analysis, there is only one reason, this is a flexible person.

The so-called flexibility is not a sycophant.

Liu Bang has never been short of sycophant kings around him, and the reason why he likes Shusun Tong is because Shusun Tong can take off the long and wide stinky robe of Confucianism very wisely, and put on the short and concise Chu clothes of Chu State.

Besides, Uncle Sun Tong has no talent for planning, but he has a very good eye for finding talents, so he always recommends some strong men who have been thieves and bandits to Liu Bang, which makes Liu Bang have no reason to refuse this Confucian talent in his heart!

At that time, there were more than 100 disciples who followed their uncles and grandsons to eat, waiting for the opportunity.

However, everyone waited and waited, and they only saw the master working there all day long, but they didn't find anything to do.

So these people collectively complained to Shusun Tong, "We have followed you for many years, but you always recommend some chicken and dog thieves to the King of Han, why do you refuse to sell us?"

Shusun Tong sneered: "You guys are really crazy!" The reason why I recommend strong men to the King of Han is because they are born to kill the enemy, can you fight? Please don't be impatient, as long as the day calms down, it will be our first day."

Uncle Sun Tong said that he was born a Confucian student, not to fight for his life on the battlefield, but to embellish the world for leveling.

As the saying goes: food and clothing are enough to know etiquette.

If there is no peace in the world and no end to the bloodshed, the people will not be able to have enough food and clothing.

The disciples were all awakened by Shusun Tong's words, so they had to wait again.

Waiting, I waited until the flowers were thanked, and finally waited for the opportunity!

This opportunity is the drunken gaffe and shouting and dancing of Liu Bang's ministers.

Over the years, Shusun Tong has been like a roundworm coiled in Liu Bang's stomach, as long as Liu Bang has a slight change in mood, he knows it clearly.

Uncle Sun Tong had long seen that Liu Bang was dissatisfied with his subordinates' long-term drunkenness, so one day, he found an opportunity to sell Liu Bang his Confucian career that had been delayed for many years: "It is difficult for us Confucian students to fight the enemy with the generals, but we can defend the imperial industry with them." I am willing to go to the country of Lu to recruit all sentient beings, and together with my group of disciples, I will set up a ceremony for you, I don't know if the emperor is willing or not."

Liu Bang asked hesitantly, "Is this Chaoyi troublesome?"

Uncle Sun Tong "It's not troublesome at all!" The five emperors can be happy, and the three kings are also not courteous. This art is not a stiff old antique, but a rule set according to the times and the world, and people are taught to abide by it. The rituals of the Xia, Shang, Zhou, and Qin dynasties were all different and changed. I will take the ancient Zhou rites, mix Qin Yi, and modify it into a ceremony that suits the style of the times."

Liu Bang nodded slightly, but still said uneasily, "You can try to do it, but be careful: avoid trouble when formulating the court ceremony, and take care of my mood more"

Uncle Sun Tong finally patted his chest and promised Liu Bang, "If the emperor is not at ease, you can inspect the goods first and then pay the bill, if you are not satisfied, you will return and replace"
