Heroes and marquis

On the 28th, after Liu Bang finished sealing the seven meritorious heroes as kings, he began to divide the second-class meritorious heroes into lieges in a large area.

info Before, he had set the wine on the high stage, and set Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Han Xin and the other three as the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, Han Xin's envelope had passed, and now it was Xiao He and Zhang Liang's turn.

So Liu Bang summoned Zhang Liang and asked him to choose 30,000 households on his own land, and prepared to seal him 30,000 households.

However, Zhang Liang rejected Liu Bang's kindness, and he said to Liu Bang, "The ministers started in Xiapi and met the emperor in Surabaya County, which was all arranged by God." If the emperor appoints me as a marquis, the courtier's wish is enough."

Liuhou, his food is only 10,000 households.

In this world, I have never seen more than others, but I have never seen Zhang Liang compete for less like this.

However, this is not a show, but a real humility and prevarication.

Zhang Liang told Liu Bang again: "The third generation of the Zhang family is the fifth generation of the Han king. Han is destroyed by Qin, and my greatest wish in this life is to avenge Han. Now that the tyrannical Qin is dead, the Han Dynasty is thriving. And I became the emperor's teacher with my incorruptible tongue, and I was named the marquis, I am very satisfied. The emperor also knew that the ministers were sick, and from now on he was willing to abandon the affairs of the world, follow the red pine nut fairy, and travel around the world."

Zhang Liang's following of the immortals is fake.

His move is actually the legendary success and retirement.

Liu Bang then summoned Chen Ping.

Because Chen was a native of Yangwu Humu, he was named the Marquis of Humu.

Chen Ping also excused himself and said, "The minister is useless, and I ask Your Majesty to seal someone else"

Liu Bang was puzzled: "I have used your strategy several times to defeat the enemy." Isn't that your credit?"

Chen Ping said, "If there is no non-Wei ignorance, Chen An has to serve His Majesty"

Liu Bang understood, so he rewarded Wei Wuzhi again, and still named Chen Ping as the marquis of the household and the five thousand households in the food estate.

Zhang Liang and Chen Ping are indisputable, which does not mean that the world is indisputable.

It is inevitable to fight, and it is in vain not to fight.

The world, if there is no desire, it will stagnate; Without ambition, it is nothing more than a pool of stagnant water.

It is the endless desire and ambition that stimulates the hormones in the human body, so as to get extremely reasonable and unreasonable venting, so that there will be this colorful life and bloody battlefield.

There is contention in the world, so we see the various forms of the earth; If the world is all indisputable, then human beings can only be monkeys hanging on trees to rest forever!

We can admire Zhang Liang's detachment, but we can't reject the struggle between people, countless facts and the law of social development tell us: struggle is the most authentic way for people to make a living for development and survival!

In this case, let's take a look at how Xiao He and Cao Shen compete for this "No. 1 Hero in the World"

When everyone heard that Xiao He was named the Marquis of Yu and had 8,000 households, almost all of them jumped up and strongly objected, on the grounds that "we charged on the battlefield and were born and died, but Xiao He would only take a pen and dip ink in the rear, and he had never shed blood or sweat, so why did he eat more than us"

In fact, there are only 8,000 households in Xiaohou Xiaohe's food, while Pingyang Hou Caoshen's 10,800 households, Zhangliang's 10,000 households, and Jianghou Zhoubo's 8,100 households are not more than Xiao He's.

The generals said that Xiao He had too much food, which was really difficult to convince people.

In fact, it doesn't matter how much food you have, what matters is whether everyone sees whether you like it or not!

In fact, there are two main reasons why the generals can't get along with Xiao He: 1. Xiao He has been living in the rear for a long time, isolated from the generals, and his feelings are not deep; 2 At the beginning of the world, military generals often looked down on civil officials, thinking that civil governance and martial arts, and martial arts should precede civil governance.

And this is a military merit system, of course, it depends on military merit?

However, Liu Bang seems to have reversed the standards, the civilian officials are in the front, and the military generals are in the back, what is the reason?

The generals' reasoning seems to be very well-founded, but Liu Bang does not think so, and he asks the generals, "Do you know how to hunt?"

The generals "know"

Liu Bang: "Then you should know that hunting requires hunters and hunting dogs."

Generals "Of course"

Liu Bang: "Then I'll give you an analogy: those who chase and kill beasts and rabbits, dogs; He who gives orders and calls the bills, so do people; Excuse me: is it the dog that is important, or the person who is important?"

The generals are "of course people"

Liu Bang: "You are charging at the front line, but it's just a matter of merit; Xiao He instructed and gave orders in the rear, but it was the work of the people. Excuse me: Is it the merit of the people, or the merit of the dogs?"

Generals: ... Seeing that the generals were speechless, Liu Bang smiled proudly: No words, right?

Silly, right?

Since everyone has no opinions, I'll go ahead and make a list of heroes... In January of the 6th year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (BC201), Liu Bang opened a list of eighteen meritorious marquises, and the first place was still Xiao He, and the second was Cao Shen.

This Xiao He!

Even if there are more foods, I still want to compete for the first hero.

Is it tolerable or unbearable!

So the generals made a big move again, and unanimously united to say to Liu Bang, "Pingyang Hou Cao Shen, who suffered seventy major wounds, attacked the city and plundered the land, and had the most merits, and should be the first"

The generals still mean the same thing: civil governance and martial arts should be based on military merits.

Isn't it?

The generals fought with their lives, but Xiao He, a stinky civil official, hid in the rear and would only do some things to collect taxes and calculate taxes, and even had to line up in front of us, isn't this fucking bullshit?

Liu Bang is really speechless, these generals are really unbearable.

The truth of the gong, dog, and gongren is very clear, who do they have more wounds than others?

Just when Liu Bang was about to lecture the generals again on the dialectical relationship between the gong dog and the meritorious person, someone took the initiative to stand up and state his high merits to Xiao He.

E Qianqiu said to the generals: "What you said is wrong. Cao Shen plundered a lot of land in the field, but this was a temporary achievement; The emperor and King Xiang have been fighting for hegemony for five years, and they have traveled all over the world, but Xiao He can supply the army from time to time, and what he has done is a feat for eternity! Besides, even if the Han Dynasty does not have Cao ginseng, there is no big loss, on the contrary, even if the Han Dynasty gets hundreds of Cao ginseng, it is still the Han Dynasty, and it is not just relying on other countries to be safe. From this point of view, how can Cao Shen's momentary achievements be compared with Xiao He's eternal achievements? Therefore: Xiao He should be the first, and Cao Shen is the second"

Liu Bang was really happy, and finally someone was willing to cheer Xiao He up.

E Qianqiu is really as good as his name, and he talks about the great cause of Qianqiu, and since E Qianqiu sang a good show, I also want to harmonize with it.

So Liu Bang said to the generals, "Xiao He's merits are already very high, and after Comrade E Qianqiu's comment, his reputation has become even more prominent." There is one more thing I must tell you: you follow me to fight the world, and there are only two or three more people in my own family, but when I was trapped in the Central Plains, Comrade Xiao He not only sent the people in Guanzhong to support the front line, but even dozens of people from his own clan were sent to the battlefield.

The generals looked at each other and were speechless again.

Liu Bang issued another holy decree "Guannei Hou E Qianqiu was promoted to liehou: 2,000 households of Anping Hou"

"Xiao He's father, son, brothers, and more than ten other people were all given food; Xiao He worked hard and made high achievements, and then added 2,000 households, and gave Xiao He to bring a sword to the palace, and he did not tend to enter the court."

The so-called wearing a sword to the palace and entering the court does not tend to refer to Xiao He who can wear a sword and wear clogs to the Jinluan Palace; And after entering the palace gate, you don't have to run with small steps, and you still walk at the usual speed.

Liu Bang's treatment of Xiao He is like a certain leader asking his subordinates that you don't have to pretend to be professional to work, or you can wear and take off your shoes to enter my office, and you can even push the door in without knocking.

These two articles are added with the words "praise and worship without name"

This article became the highest treatment given by emperors to meritorious heroes who had made special contributions in later generations.

Many generals are stupid again!

What is the difference between this scene and when they fought Chen Ping?

In fact, there are two major reasons why Liu Bang gave Xiao He 2,000 more households: first, when Liu Bang went to Xianyang on a business trip, Xiao He always gave him an extra 200 yuan every time he sponsored him, and now these 2,000 households are regarded as a personal favor.

Secondly, Liu Bang took the opportunity to tell the generals: The more jealous and attacking you are, the more I want to promote.

Because of this, the recipient will be even more desperate.

Thanks to you for being with me for so long, Chen Pingzhi's lesson, haven't you experienced it deep enough?

This is Liu Bang, no matter how complex the political environment is, he always has enough wisdom and strategy to turn the danger into a disaster, and this turmoil of fighting for merit has finally come to an end.

The names of the 18 meritorious marquis were also discharged: 1 Marquis Xiao He, 2 Marquis Cao Shen of Pingyang, 4 Marquis Zhou Bo of Jiang, 5 Marquis Fan of Wuyang, 6 Marquis of Zhou Lishang, 7 Marquis of Luhou Xi Juan, 8 Marquis of Ruyin Xiahou Ying, 9 Ying Ying Marquis Guan Ying, 10 Marquis Fu Kuan of Yangling, 11 Marquis of Xinwu Jin She, 12 Marquis of Anguo Wang Ling, 13 Marquis Chen Wu of Jianpu, 14 Marquis of Qinghe Wang Su, 15 Marquis Xue Ou of Guangping, 16 Marquis Zhou Chang of Fenyin, 17 Marquis Ding Fu, 18 Marquis of Qucheng Gu Feng (3 Zhang Ao of King Zhao, 47 Chen Ping, 62 Zhang Liang) However, Xiao He and Cao Shen, the two people, because of the merit incident, have become resentful from this kind of subterfuge, and they have nothing to do with each other!

After rewarding the meritorious heroes, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, began to seal the king with the same surname again: on the 21st, he divided Han Xin's Chu State into two: he was named the king of Jing from his father and brother Liu Jia, and governed a total of 53 counties in Dongyang, Yan and Wu counties, all of which were Wu; Feng's half-brother Liu Jiao was the king of Chu, with jurisdiction over 36 counties of Xue and Donghai County, and Dupeng City; On the 27th, the second brother Liu Zhong was appointed as the acting king, and he had jurisdiction over 53 counties in Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Dai County; Liu Fei, the eldest son of Fengshu, was the king of Qi.

It has jurisdiction over 73 counties of Jiaodong, Jiaoxi, Linzi, Jibei, Boyang and Chengyang counties, all of which are Linzi.

Liu's feudal kingdom began to appear, closely surrounding the center, and that center was called Chang'an!

At the same time, Liu Bang set his sights on another king with a different surname, who was Han Wangxin.

Han Xin is a martial artist, and Liu Bang admires him as if he were the ancestor of one of the seven heroes of the Han family.

However, time has passed, Liu Bang thinks: Yingchuan County, where Han Wangxin is now king, is close to Gong County and Luoyang in the north, Qiwan and Yeer Counties in the south, and Huaiyang in the east.

The decision was made, Liu Bang decided to establish a new Korea with 31 counties in Taiyuan County, with Jinyang as the capital, moved Han Wangxin to the north, and gave him a glorious and great task "Brother, the guardianship of the northern frontier will be handed over to you, don't let the Xiongnu run into the land of my Han Dynasty"

Han Wangxin really has suffering, but he has to endure it.

Otherwise, would you become the second Huaiyin Marquis Han Xin?

Taiyuan is a poor place, and there are a lot of Huns, but after all, he is a king.

So Han Wangxin didn't know which brain to use, so he simply didn't do it and carried out the hardship cause to the end!

He immediately wrote to Liu Bang, "Jinyang is too far away from the Xiongnu border and is not conducive to resisting the enemy, so it is better for me to move to Mayi, Yanmen County, further north."

When Liu Bang saw Han Wangxin's letter, his tears almost fell out of his eyes.

What a good comrade, you left me the most beautiful land, and went to the northernmost place for me to eat sand and guard the border, the Han Dynasty has a king like you, and it will not fall for ten thousand years... So Liu Bang immediately approved Han Wangxin's request, and the capital of the new Korea was set as Mayi from then on.

At this point, the matter of sealing the king has come to an end for the time being, but the matter of sealing the marquis is far from over.

At this time, Liu Bang had made more than 20 great meritorious marquis.

Xiao He and Cao Shen's fight for the first place is over, but those who are fighting for the twenty-first or twenty-second are still arguing.

This is really a headache, when fighting, no one cares who is injured the most and the most serious.

But now, each of them is emphasizing how many wounds I have received, how many sharp arrows I have received, how many enemies I have killed, and how much food I have carried; Some people also said that their parents died of illness in their hometown, and they didn't have time to go home to visit, so they single-mindedly slaughtered on the battlefield, what is the picture?

Isn't it to compete with you today?

Fighting back and forth, there is no result.

Liu Bang simply suspended the seal temporarily, and let them quarrel if they like to quarrel!

However, one day, Liu Bang was in Luoyang South Palace, and by chance he looked down from the compound road, and saw the generals sitting in groups on Luoshui Beach to meet and party.

Liu Bang strangely told Zhang Liang about this, and asked, "Does Liuhou know what they are doing?"

Zhang Liang was taken aback and asked, "Your Majesty, don't you really know what they are talking about?"

Liu Bang shook his head in confusion, he really didn't know.

Zhang Liang sighed and said, "Your Majesty should know if you think about it: when you fought the world in the past, you relied on these people to work for you, and now you have sealed all the good places in the world to your relatives, but there are still many people who have not received benefits." All they are meeting now is saying, "Where will you give them the land?" If the land is not sealed, they are afraid that they will start a rebellion."

When Liu Bang heard this, he was really shocked.

I didn't expect the matter of the feudal marquis to evolve so much?

So what to do?

Zhang Liang: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I already have a plan." May I ask Your Majesty: Who is the person you hate the most?"

Liu Bang: "Who else can there be?" It's that bastard of Yongfang."

Yongya, that is, when Liu Bang rebelled in the early years, he stabbed him in the back and surrendered to Zhou City of Wei with Fengyi!

However, after Yongya surrendered to Liu Bang, he performed well and killed countless enemies, so Liu Bang remembered that he had a lot of merit, so he couldn't bear to kill him.

However, not killing is not the same as not hating.

In the world, there is some love, which is unforgettable, and the vicissitudes of life are unforgettable; Hate is the same, some hate, even if it turns into dust, it is hard to forget.

So whenever Liu Bang remembered the betrayal of Yongya in his early years, he always gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had to endure it.

Zhang Liang immediately told Liu Bang in an unquestionable tone: "Please Your Majesty quickly seal Yongya as a marquis." Only then will the other generals be immediately fine."

Liu Bangji was puzzled: Yongya was killed, why did he make him a marquis first?

Zhang Liang: "The reason is very simple. Your biggest enemies have all been sealed, are the other generals still afraid that they won't be sealed? Won't they make trouble?"

Liu Bang suddenly realized.

He immediately set down the banquet and beckoned Yongya and the generals to come and drink.

On March 4, 2,500 households were officially sealed.

At the same time, he also ordered Prime Minister Xiao He and his imperial historians to set up an evaluation team as soon as possible, immediately evaluate the generals' military merits, and report to the emperor as the basis for dividing the feuds.

At this moment, all the generals were overjoyed.

All the crises are gone.

This is a good emperor, if you want to sit firmly in the country, you have to be anxious about what the generals are anxious about, think about what the generals think, as long as everyone has the position of marquis, everything is easy to discuss!
