Han Xin, the commander of the light pole in Dingtao, has been very depressed recently, and Liu Bang also thinks that something may happen if this continues?

So one day in January of the 5th year of Han Gaozu (BC202), he called Han Xin and Peng Yue, "Let's do this: the widow will fulfill his promise now, so that the two of you can be kings." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but the widow thinks like this: Emperor Yi is dead, and there are no descendants, this Chu State can't be replaced by no one. Han Xin, you are from Chu and familiar with the customs of Chu, so it is better for you not to be the king of Qi, but to be the king of Chu instead. The land of Wang Huaibei is based on Xiapi in Donghai County. Peng Yue, you, just be the king of Liang. I will hand over the land south of the Yellow River in Wei State to you, and take Dingtao in Dongjun as the capital, what do you think?"

Liu Bang's words directly overturned the promise made before the battle.

According to the agreement at that time, Han Xin should have increased the fiefdom of Huaibei while having the Qi State.

But now?

Liu Bang found an irrelevant reason for the righteous emperor, and directly deprived Han Xin of the Qi state.

Liu Bang's reason seems a bit nonsensical.

Emperor Yi has no queen to care about my Han Xin's, and he is not my relative, let alone a benefactor.

Besides, there are many people in the world who are familiar with the customs of Chudi, why is it me Han Xin?

If Han Xin really wanted to say this, Liu Bang would have something to refute: "The land I gave you in the Chu State is not smaller than that of the Qi State, and isn't it your hometown?" Don't you want to become famous, return to your hometown, and glorify your ancestors? So is it wrong for me to crown you the king of Chu?"

In this way, is Liu Bang really good for Han Xin?

Wrong!

At that time, the state of Chu was larger than the state of Qi, but in terms of economic strength, the state of Qi was far above the state of Chu, and Han Xin had cultivated a force in the state of Qi, if he did not pull out the weeds and eradicate the roots earlier, it would inevitably endanger Liu Bang's safety.

What's even more terrifying is not only that, Liu Bang's successive incidents of seizing the marshal and moving the king to Han Xin are actually testing Han Xin's confidence to see if he has the courage to turn his face?

Speaking of Peng Yue, he should have had all of Wei, but now he only has half of Wei in the east.

Peng Yue's longing for Wei Bao's territory was directly under Liu Bang's direct jurisdiction, and all he got was the land of Liang that was stripped from the nine counties of Xiang Yu and Liang Chu.

Therefore, he can't be the king of Wei, but only the king of Liang.

How does this convince the two?

However, the situation is stronger than people, and the two finally did not snort, packed their luggage, took their men and horses, and went back to Fengguo to be kings.

After Liu Bang successfully dispatched Han Xin and Peng Yue, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it turned out that the general of the Million Legion was nothing more than that.

Han Xin and Peng Yue, let me tell you clearly: King Chu and King Liang are just temporary places for your lives, wait for me to raise my body for a while, and then I will slowly clean up!

After Han Xin went to China, he found a drifting mother who was kind to him and gave him a thousand gold in return.

He summoned the boy who had humiliated himself in the crotch, appointed him as a lieutenant, and said, "This is a strong man." When he insulted me, I wasn't unable to kill him. But because the ambition has not been accomplished, the fear of killing is nameless, so I am willing to suffer his humiliation"

Immediately afterwards, Liu Bang issued an amnesty decree: there have been eight years of strife in the world, and the war can make the people miserable.

At the end of today's work, all the prisoners in the prison were released, except for the death row inmates.

Ancient emperors, if there were no natural disasters or major festivals such as the establishment of princes and queens by the imperial family, you should not think that the emperor would release a prisoner.

However, Liu Bang's pardon of prisoners this time actually happened to these two things: 1 This is indeed the year of military disasters, according to the ancient Chinese custom, only by pardoning prisoners can we seek the blessing of heaven; 2 This is also a year of celebration, the prince has already been established, of course, it has nothing to do with Liu Ying, so the happy event is: Liu Bang himself is about to become the emperor!

This is the inevitable law of history, and it is also Liu Bang's inevitable choice.

Looking back, why did Liu Bang rebel in the first place?

His initial idea was just to leave the ghost place of Mangdang Mountain and return to Peixian County to live a good life with his wife and children.

However, on the one-way train of fate, everything was up to him, but could only be carried all the way forward: so he unknowingly became the Duke of Pei, and then became the King of Han unjustly, and then was forced all the way to the last position, that is, the emperor!

Now, if Liu Bang says that he doesn't want to be an emperor, he definitely doesn't even believe in ghosts and gods.

So, the seven kings of Chu Han Xin, Liang Wang Peng Yue, Huainan Wang Yingbu, Han Wang Xin, Zhao Wang Zhang Er, Yan Wang Zang Di, and Hengshan King Wu Rui jointly wrote a letter asking Liu Bang to be the emperor... Liu Bang refused: "I heard that the emperor's honorific title can only be possessed by virtuous people." I can't afford to be honored."

The kings have persuaded it, and then it is time for the other feudal lords and generals and ministers.

They also played together and asked Liu Bang to be the emperor... Liu Bang still refused.

For the third time, it was time for the general civil and military generals, including those intellectuals who studied astronomy and astrology.

They also asked Liu Bang to be called emperor... Liu Bang still refused.

This scene is just an upgraded version of Liu Bang being promoted to Pei Gong at the beginning.

Needless to say, this is of course another show.

If Liu Bang's prevarication is seen by Westerners, it will definitely be confused.

It's obvious that he is the only one, why do you have to push three or four?

I can't help it.

This is the Chinese way of thinking!

It's okay, but you still have to say no; I obviously want to be the emperor in my heart, but I have to say that I don't want to be the emperor.

But if anyone really doesn't let him be, Liu Bang will definitely be the first person to kill!

Liu Bang's set of game rules for show, everyone is well aware of the subtleties.

So everyone went to the book again.

not only displayed a lot of Liu Bang's virtuous ability, but also said in a very anxious tone, "The king started as a commoner, destroyed the tyrannical Qin, pacified the four seas, and divided the princes, if the king is not honored by the emperor, we will admonish each other with death"

Of course, it is a table talk for everyone to admonish each other with death, and Liu Bang's refusal of the princes is of course a feint.

But according to the rules of showmanship, both sides must do so.

But in total, you've been back and forth more than three times.

All right!

Stop acting.

Everyone is going to vomit when they encore it again... In the end, Liu Bang pretended to be helpless and said, "Since everyone thinks that I am suitable to be the emperor." Then I can only reluctantly make it difficult and make more contributions to the country."

To be an emperor is to contribute to the country, this is Liu San's philosophy of life.

All private affairs are state affairs, private affairs are ambitions, national affairs are justice, and ambitions are covered with righteousness, just like an embroidered sword to pick the world, try to ask the heroes of the world, who can resist Liu San's magic magic?

On February 3, on the shore of Bishui in Sanchuan County, surrounded by ministers, Liu Bang officially became the third emperor in Chinese history after Qin Shi Huang and Qin II, and also the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, Han Gaozu!

And one person attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascended to heaven.

Lu Pheasant was named the queen, Liu Ying was the crown prince, and Liu Bang's deceased mother was also posthumously called Mrs. Zhaoling.

The capital of the Han Dynasty was tentatively designated as Luoyang.

Subsequently, Liu Bang issued a holy decree: Wu Rui, the king of Hengshan, was the king of Changsha, and Linxiang was the capital.

Wuzhu is the king of Minyue, the fief of Minzhong County, and Dongye is the capital.

Let's take a look at the respective territories of the seven princes and kings: Han Xin, the king of Chu, occupies 6 counties of Chen, Xue, Donghai, Surabaya, Huiji, and Yan; Peng Yue, the king of Liang, occupied Dang 1 County; Huainan Wang Yingbu occupies 2 counties of Jiujiang and Hengshan; Han Wangxin occupies Yingchuan 1 County; Yanwang Zang Di occupies 6 counties of Guangyang, Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaodong and Liaoxi; Zhao Wang Zhang Er occupied the 3 counties of Handan, Julu and Changshan; Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, occupied 2 counties of Changsha and Qianzhong.

Liu Bang himself directly governed 22 counties: Neishi, Beidi, Longxi, Shang, Hanzhong, Ba, Shu, Yunzhong, Yanmen, Dai, Taiyuan, Shangdang, Hedong, Hanoi, Sanchuan, Nanyang, Dong, Nan, Linzi, Jibei, Langya, and Jiaodong (compared with the 18 princes that Xiang Yu originally divided: Han Xin and Peng Yue were 7 counties scraped out of Xiang Yu's nine counties; Yingbu was the general territory of himself and Wu Rui; Zang Di is the total territory of himself and Han Guang; Han Wangxin is Han Wangcheng's territory; Zhang Er's territory remains unchanged; Wu Rui's territory is 2 counties scraped out of the three counties of Gongao.

In addition to the 3 counties of Ba, Shu and Hanzhong that year, Liu Bang also got the total territory of 10 people from Zhang Han, Sima Xin, Dong Peng, Wei Bao, Sima Wei, Shenyang, Zhao Xie, Tian Shi, Tian Du and Tian An, plus the south county of Gongao and the east county and Nanyang county of Xiang Yu) In May, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, bought wine in the South Palace of Luoyang and opened a celebration banquet.

This is a celebration meeting, and it is also a summary meeting.

Liu Bang asked, "Today, let's open the skylight and say something bright, and you will tell me the truth: Why can I win the world, but Xiang Yu has lost a lot."

Liu Bang finally asked the truth.

I think that at the beginning, he was the son of the dragon, the son of the Red Emperor, and the colorful auspicious clouds.

But war does not compete with myths, let alone legends, there is only one thing that can be trusted, and that is strength.

The generals accompanied Liu Bang from birth to death, and they knew each other well.

The reason why Liu Bang won the world is first of all because he won the hearts of the people!

So, Gao Qi and Wang Ling were the first to stand up and answer Liu Bang, "The reason why Your Majesty has won the world is because you can share the benefits with your subordinates and share the benefits with the princes of the world; And Xiang Yu is otherwise, there are benefits to swallow alone, and even kill meritorious people and people who doubt virtuous ability, how can such a confused person not lose the world"

Looking back at Xiang Yu's life, Wang Ling's words are not wrong at all.

In Xiang Yu's place, often those who don't deserve to die have died early, such as Emperor Yi; Often what should not be suspected is also suspected, such as Fan Zeng.

However, Liu Bang shook his head and smiled, not satisfied with Wang Ling's answer, he said this, "The public only knows one thing, but does not know the other." The reason why I won the world is only because of these three people: Xiao He, Han Xin, and Zhang Liang. Think about it: in the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, I am not as good as Zhang Liang; Fill the country, care for the people, give gifts, and keep the grain going, I am not as good as Xiao He; Even millions of people, the battle will be won, the attack must be taken, I am not as good as Han Xin. The three are all masterpieces, I can use them, and Xiang Yu has a fan increase that can't be used, so I caught it."

When the ministers heard this, they were all impressed.

Emperor, you finally said the truth, it is man-made, not heaven!

But the ministers only know one of them, and they don't know the other, why did Liu Bang set the tone for Zhang Liang and the other three as the three masters?

In fact, Liu Bang just held a briefing before discussing merit and sealing the marquis.

However, Liu Bang still has a lot to do before he can be crowned a marquis.

Han Gaozu issued an edict: In May, Liu Bang issued an edict to demobilize all the soldiers and return home, and at the same time restore their previous titles and fields.

The officials must reason with everyone, and they must not beat and insult them.

The title is not satisfied with all the doctors' one-time grants to doctors, and all doctors above the doctor are given a knighthood (Liu Bang implemented Chu Jue after the uprising.

From this edict, Chu Jue was officially abandoned and the 20th rank of Qin Shang Yang was used.

The doctor is the fifth-class duke, the seventh doctor is the seventh-class duke, and the duke is the eighth-class duke) If the title is above the seventh doctor, all enjoy the treatment of the food estate, and the whole family is exempted from forced labor for life.

The seven doctors and the public passengers above are all high lords, and what requirements they have, they must first meet them.

Officials are to be kind to the nobles.

I will send someone to investigate.

Anyone who does not follow this edict shall be treated as a serious crime.

Since even the bandits in the mountains and forests have been forgiven in this edict, then those who were once under Xiang Yu will probably not be held accountable for historical responsibility, right?

However, Liu Bang is still chasing and killing some fierce generals in the Xiang family's army.

The first person is Ji Bu, who is famous for Ren Xia.

When Pengcheng was defeated, Liu Bang was chased and killed by Ding Gong and Ji Bu twice before and after, which was an embarrassment.

Recalling this, Liu Bang gritted his teeth the most not Ding Gong, but that Ji Bu.

Ji Bu caused him to kick two innocent children out of the car many times, and since then he has been criticized by history, and he can't wash it away.

So Liu Bang heard that Ji Bu had absconded, and immediately offered a nationwide reward for his arrest, "Whoever is caught, will be rewarded with a thousand gold; If you dare to hide, you will be punished by the three tribes."

At this time, Ji Bu was hiding in a big family surnamed Zhou in Puyang, Dongjun.

There are advantages to big families, that is, there are many people to hide, but there are also disadvantages, that is, there are many people.

The head of the Zhou family is actually very bitter in his heart, and it is not a way for Ji Bu to stay in the Zhou family for the rest of his life!

Paper can't hold fire.

In order to protect themselves, the Zhou family decided to send Ji Bu.

Zhou Dangjia thought left and right, and finally came up with a risky plan, that is, to suggest that Ji Bu wronged himself and sold his family as a slave, "It's not a way for you to hide in my house for many years." I'm going to give you a plan. If you don't listen, I'll kill myself in front of you."

Ji Bu smiled, "If you have a plan, just say it, how do you say that you are also for my good, why do you say such frustrating words"

Zhou Dangjia finally mustered up the courage and said, "I want you to cut your hair as a slave, put on an iron ring, and sell dozens of slaves from my family to the Zhu family in Ludi."

Ji Bu: "If it's true, there's no other way, so you can sell me as a slave"

So the Zhou family immediately helped Ji Bu shave his hair, bring slave tools, and load a big truck with dozens of slaves of the Zhou family and go to Lu State.

The reason why the Zhou family used so many slaves to accompany the sale should be to prevent anyone on the road from recognizing Ji Bu, and even more so to prevent the Zhu family from seeing the flaws.

However, the Zhou family is shrewd, and the Zhu family is not stupid, he can see the problem at a glance: You have made a big move to sell slaves, right?

The days of war and chaos are basically over, if you hadn't fled, why did you sell so many domestic slaves for no reason?

The Zhu family knew it, but he didn't say anything, he still sold these slaves and put them in his own fields to work.

One day, the Zhu family pointed at Ji Bu from afar and said to his son, "You have to remember: listen to the bald man about farming, don't point fingers at him, and besides: whatever he eats, you will follow what he eats." Don't ask why, just do what I tell you to do."

After the Zhu family told their son, they went on the road to the capital.

Don't be nervous, the Zhu family is not going to inform, but to find someone to lobby to rescue Ji Bu.

Amitabha, Ji Bu really met a good person.

In fact, all this was not expected by the Zhou family, because he had already inquired: the Zhu family is powerful, there is his iron relationship in Luoyang City, and his heart is good.

If the Zhu family doesn't save Ji Bu, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!
