Yingbu was killed in the south, and Chen Xuan, who rebelled and established himself as the acting king, was also killed at the same time in Dangcheng County, Dai County.

info Daijun, Yanmen, and the land in the clouds were all pacified by Zhou Bo.

In just 10 months, Liu Bang's most feared heroes, known as Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Yingbu, who were known as the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, died one after another... At this time, Liu Bang's withdrawal had just passed through his hometown Pei County, and when he heard the news that Yingbu and Chen Feng had been awarded heads one after another, he couldn't help but feel very happy, and ordered a big banquet to celebrate his achievements.

Since ancient times, the most basic feelings of every Chinese when wealth returns home.

Xiang Yu once said, "Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night"

Liu Bang spent more than ten years of struggle and finally achieved the most brilliant achievements in the world.

When his sideburns were gray and in his twilight years, he finally returned to his hometown.

But at this time, no one knew what kind of mood the emperor was in when he returned home.

Liu Bang, who drank high, couldn't help but get up and dance, and struck and sang: The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, and Weijia is returning to his hometown.

Ande warriors are guarding the Quartet!

A band of 120 children, trained by Liu Bang himself, joined in unison.

The song is impassioned, crossing the land of China... A sentimental feeling that I had never felt before arose spontaneously, and tears slowly overflowed my eyes and flowed down my face.

These tears are the sad tears of the wanderer.

At this moment, Liu Bang said to the parents and villagers of Pei County with great emotion: "The wanderer is sad about his hometown. Although I built the capital of Guanzhong, but in the future, after I die, my soul will still be nostalgic for my hometown. In order to express my feelings for my hometown, I decided to make Pei County my own Tang Muyi, and exempt the people of Pei County from taxes and forced labor for generations."

The people of Pei County were all overjoyed, and they kept Liu Bang for a few more days.

Liu Bang stayed in Pei County for more than ten days, and finally set off to return to Beijing.

The elders of Pei County sent each other off again, and said to Liu Bang, "The people of Pei County have received the special grace of Your Majesty, but the people of Fengyi are also looking forward to Your Majesty's pity."

Liu Bangdao: "Peixian is my birthplace, and Fengyi is where I grew up. Just because the people of Fengyi were willing to help Yongya rebel against me, I hate it deeply. Now that the fathers and elders insist on it, I should treat everyone equally, and I will also exempt the people of Fengyi from servitude."

Liu Bang left his hometown, but no one actually knew that he was in no mood to drink at this time.

Because he has been inexplicably worried about one thing in his heart: after a hundred years, what will be the fate of Qi Ji and Liu Ruyi's mother and son?

Liu Bang's second brother Liu Zhong can't be the king, but he doesn't have to say anything about giving birth to a son.

On the 20th, Liu Bang renamed Liu Jia's Jing State to Wu State, and named Liu Zhong's son Liu Bi as the King of Wu.

But at this time, Liu Bang would not have thought that this Liu Bi would later use the favorable resources of his country to get rich by mining copper and coinage, boiling salt, and immediately became the best among the princes.

even developed to the end of the rebellion and became the mastermind of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion.

However, Liu Bi's affairs will be left for his children and grandchildren to be rectified slowly, Liu Bang's biggest headache now is the fate of his beloved Ji Qi Ji and beloved son Liu Ruyi in his hundred years later.

In November, Liu Bang passed through Ludi and ordered Confucius to be sacrificed with the gift of the ether prison.

In December, Liu Bang issued an edict: arrange 20 families to guard the tomb of Qin Shi Huang; 10 families each guard the tombs of Chen Sheng, King Wei Anjiao, and King Qi Shu; Each 5 families guarded the tomb of King Zhao Mourning Xiang and Xinling Jun Wei Wuji.

In the 12th year of Han Gaozu (BC195), Liu Bang finally came to the last 5 months of his life.

The arrow wound is getting worse and the heart is getting heavier.

In the deaths of Han Xin and Peng Yue, Liu Bang has deeply seen the ruthlessness of his wife Lu Pheasant.

Once he dies, Lu Pheasant is very likely to fight back and kill Qi Ji's mother and son.

So now if you want to keep the two people you love the most, you must try your best to dismiss the public, abolish Liu Ying, and replace Liu Ruyi... It's just that this matter has failed once under the obstruction of the ministers.

Can it be done this time to bring up the old thing again?

Sure enough, when Liu Bang had just revealed such a little meaning, Zhang Liang, who was the young master of the crown prince and known as the emperor's master, ran to advise him regardless of his sick body.

However, Liu Bang is iron-hearted this time.

Zhang Liang said for a long time, but he only replied with one word: No!

Zhang Liang returned in a huff and has been completely closed from then on.

For Lu Pheasant, this deep blow was really heartbreaking.

But this is only the first round, and until the end, I will not admit defeat!

Sure enough, within a few days, someone fearlessly stepped forward and killed Liu Bang!

It's just that Lu Pheasant and the ministers were shocked: this person is actually the prince and uncle Sun Tong, who is known as the old slippery head!

Uncle Sun Tong first gave Liu Bang a history lesson: "Back then, Jin Xiangong favored Li Ji and abolished the prince Shensheng and set up his youngest son Xi Qi, which made the Jin Kingdom chaotic for decades and became the laughing stock of the world. Qin Shi Huang did not establish Fusu as the crown prince earlier, so that Zhao Gao and Hu Hai had a chance, and the death of Qin was seen by His Majesty. Now the crown prince Liu Yingren is filial piety, and the world knows it. And the queen and your majesty were born and died, sharing weal and woe, how can you turn your back?"

Obviously, Shusun Tong came prepared.

However, to the surprise of people, this guy is also desperately prepared, "If Your Majesty must abolish the young people, please kill the ministers first, and stain this tall golden palace red with blood."

As he spoke, he wanted to draw his sword and kill himself.

Frightened, Liu Bang hurriedly said, "Taifu, you are too careful." I'm just joking, why should you take it seriously."

As soon as Liu Bang's words fell, he was cross-examined by his uncle and grandson, "The prince is the foundation of the world." The root shakes, and the world vibrates. Your Majesty, is this a joke about the world?"

Liu Bang was speechless for a long time, and sighed for a long time, "I listen to you, no longer child's play." You go back first."

In fact, Liu Bang was just a delaying tactic to send his uncle and grandson away.

On the surface, he promised not to abolish the prince, but in fact, he was still brewing an opportunity to do it in his heart.

It wasn't until a banquet not long later that Liu Bang's scheming heart was completely wiped out... On this day, Liu Bang set up a banquet with wine and summoned the prince to come and sit with him.

It was very common for the emperor to summon the crown prince to drink.

But Shangshan Sihao unanimously felt that there was no good banquet, and Liu Bang might disclose his plan to abolish his heirs at this banquet.

If this is the case, the prince of benevolence and filial piety will definitely die if he goes to the banquet alone!

Shoot when it's time to make a move, and now it's time to make an appearance for Liu Bang!

On the day of the banquet, the four living immortals dressed up carefully and humbly followed the prince to the table.

When Liu Bang saw it, he couldn't help asking, "Who are these four teachers?"

Shangshan Sihao rushed to report his name before Liu Ying.

At this moment, Liu Bang exclaimed, "It turns out that you are Shangshan Sihao? I've been looking for you for years, but you've avoided me and won't go out of the mountains. How can you follow my son today?"

I'm waiting for your question!

Shang Shan Sihao replied in unison, "Your Majesty has always been light and good at scolding, and we are not disgraced by righteousness, so we live in seclusion in the mountains." And the prince is benevolent, filial and kind, respectful and affectionate, and the world is reluctant to lead the neck to die for the prince. We just went out of the mountain and went to the prince."

When Liu Bang heard this, he didn't know what it was like, but he still forced a smile on the surface, "In this case, please ask the fourth elder to assist the prince with his heart."

Shangshan Sihao stepped forward to toast with the prince in turn, and Liu Bang drank depressed.

The plan to abolish the prince that was originally planned to be mentioned at the banquet could only be omitted.

After seeing the prince and Shangshan Sihao leave, Liu Bang said to Qi Ji beside him in a daze, "Not only the heart of the minister, but also the heart of the people and the heart of the reclusive master are towards the prince." He's fledgling, and it's hard to move anymore."

At this moment, Liu Bang finally admitted defeat.

If you continue to insist on going your own way, the court and even the whole country will be unstable!

In order to prevent the tragedy of the dead Qin from repeating, he can only be sorry for his beloved.

Qi Ji's tears of despair poured out.

It was as if she could see that death was holding her throat.

And Liu Bang was also sad and said to Qi Ji, "Don't cry." Dance another Chu dance for me, and I'll sing a Chu song for you."

Qi Ji endured her grief, threw up her long sleeves, and danced for Liu Bang.

Liu Bang also sang the song of Chu, and the song said: The bird flies high, and it is a thousand miles in one fell swoop.

The wings are ready, and they are all over the world.

Across the world, what can I do?

Although there are bows and arrows, Shang An casts?

It means that the crown prince Liu Ying has become a high-flying bird, and I, Liu Bang, have arrows in my hand, and I can't shoot them to the ground.

The lyrics are sad and desperate, and Liu Bang sings them several times.

Qi Ji can't dance anymore, so she can only lie on the ground and cry... The arrow wound on his body and the depression in his heart made Liu Bang look at no one pleasing to the eye, and he wanted to vent when he caught anyone.

But no one expected that the first unlucky one was Xiao He, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, who was praised by Liu Bang Jinkou as a meritorious person, one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, and the head of the meritorious marquis.

Looking back, since Liu Bang entered Hanzhong, Xiao He has been staying in the position of prime minister.

For more than ten years, he has worked diligently and uprightly, and has not formed a party, not for personal gain, and not for resentment.

Such a person is either a god or a deliberate careerist.

Either way, it makes Liu Bang jealous!

In fact, beware of Xiao He has also been Liu Bang's old problem for many years.

In the early years, when the Chu-Han War was at its most intense, Liu Bang still sent people back to Guanzhong every once in a while to inquire about Xiao He's work.

As a result, Xiao He dispelled Liu Bang's doubts and had to send the entire clan to the battlefield to serve.

Later, Han Xin was executed, and Liu Bang added Xiao He 5,000 households.

The group of officials all congratulated Xiao He, and only the former Marquis of Dongling of the Qin State was called to hang.

Later, Xiao He listened to Zhaoping's persuasion, let him return the fiefdom, and donated his family wealth as military supplies.

Only then did he once again please Liu Bang and get through the danger.

This time, Liu Bang personally recruited Yingbu, and the old problem recurred again, and he repeatedly sent people to ask Xiao He what he was doing in the rear recently?

When he heard that Xiao He was always working diligently, Liu Bang was silent... However, Xiao He was still as sluggish as ten years ago, and a doorman came to warn him, "Xiangguo, you are not far from the day of extermination"

Xiao He was shocked.

I am diligent and thrifty, and I am immersed in hard work, why does the emperor want to destroy my clan?

The doorman smiled: "Your Majesty wants to destroy people like you who work hard. Think about it: you are already in the country, what can you add to the seal if you make meritorious contributions? And you have lived in Guanzhong for a long time and won the hearts of the people. Your Majesty is clearly asking you about your work and wants to reward you; In fact, I am afraid of the will of your people, and I will be the king in Guanzhong."

At this time, there are no words that can describe Xiao He's strong sense of loss.

He had to ask the doorman again for help: "What should I do then?" Will I also be killed like Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Yingbu?"

Of course, it wasn't that bad.

The doorman is a master of psychological warfare, and he immediately gave Xiao He a trick, which is the famous self-accusation.

Specifically, it is to harm the public and private interests, and harm others and benefit oneself.

There are two specific methods for reference: one is to forcibly buy people's land, and the other is to make usury on a large scale.

The subtlety of this trick is twofold: first, the person concerned loses the prestige of the people, so that there is much less threat to the emperor; Second, a person with political ideals and aspirations in the world would not engage in such a corrupt and perverted law.

On the other hand, if he is corrupt and perverts the law, it means that he is only a person who covets material pleasures and has no lofty ideals or ambitions.

This is of course the result that Liu Bang wants to see!

Xiao He suddenly realized and acted quickly.

Before Liu Bang's class returned to the dynasty, he created a bad reputation that was notorious.

Good things are hard to do, but bad things are much easier.

Sure enough, before Liu Bang entered Chang'an City, thousands of people stopped him and wanted to sue Xiangguo.

Liu Bang accepted the complaint letter while pretending to be fair, and hummed happily in his heart: Xiao Xiangguo!

They all say that you are a good and virtuous person, but it turns out that it is nothing more than that!

Liu Bang entered the city with a large number of complaint letters, waiting for Xiao He to come and worship.

Xiao He was also waiting for Liu Bang.

As soon as Liu Bang returned to Weiyang Palace, Xiao He immediately entered the palace.

I saw Liu Bang shaking a lot of complaint letters, and smiled at Xiao He, "Xiangguo, are you working diligently like this?"

Xiao He pretended to be flustered and apologized.

Liu Bang smiled again: "Forget it." But you'll have to settle it yourself. You will personally go and apologize to the people, and then you will pay back what you should pay and make up, and I will not pursue you."

Liu Bang is such a person.

As long as you don't rob me of my imperial power, everything else is negotiable!

This matter is over, but the best is yet to come!

Xiao He thought about asking for his life for the people again.

He set his sights on a piece of land, which was the famous Shanglin Garden.

Since the Qin Dynasty, Shanglin Yuan has been a royal back garden and a place of hunting, but due to disrepair, coupled with the lack of funds for the initial construction of the country, this good place has become increasingly barren, and now it has become an overgrown land.

So, Xiao He wrote to Liu Bang with the idea of returning the forest to the people: "There are many people in Chang'an, and there is a lot of vacant land left in Shanglinyuan, and Your Majesty can distribute it to the small people for cultivation." In this way, not only will the people receive grain, but you will also receive straw for the beasts to eat."
