c_t; Zhang Jiashi does have the idea of hoping that people will make the best use of their talents for Zhang Liang. Read the full text of the latest chapter of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, for Zhang Jiashi, Zhang Liang's ability is more of a temptation, but there is no doubt that Zhang Liang's talent makes Zhang Jiashi have an idea that he has to admire deeply.

Because in many ways, Zhang Liang's talent can indeed be regarded as an upper-middle level existence in the first tier of the martial arts under Zhang Jiashi's command.

Zhang Jiashi also did not have the idea of being afraid of the meritorious heroes, because in a sense, Zhang Jiashi himself had used what he had done in the past few years to establish his highest position in the hearts of most people in the Great Qin Empire.

This can also be said to be a manifestation of Zhang Jiashi's prestige and charm.

Zhang Jiashi did not advocate the feudal system, which may be difficult for the governance of the Great Qin Empire. After all, in the hearts of many people now, what they hope is to be able to tear the soil and become a marquis, or even face the south and become kings.

But it is impossible for Zhang Jiashi to do this, because there is no doubt that this approach has more drawbacks.

In terms of Liu Bang's situation after the establishment of the Han Empire, Liu Bang's suppression of heroes is no less than that of Zhu Yuanzhang.

......

In February 202 BC, Liu Bang fulfilled his previous promise and made Han Xin the king of Chu and Peng Yue the king of Yue. Han Xin and Peng Yue, who were entitled, together with the original Yan King Zang Di, Zhao King Zhang Ao, and Changsha King Wu Rui, jointly wrote to Liu Bang and asked him to be crowned emperor. Liu Bang began to pretend to excuse himself, and Han Xin said: "Although the king was born poor, he can lead everyone to sweep away the tyrannical Qin, kill the unjust, and stabilize the world, and the credit exceeds that of the kings. Liu Bang said smoothly: "Since you all see it this way and think it is beneficial to the people of the world, then do what you say." ”

On February 28, 202 B.C. (according to the early Western Han Dynasty, October was the first year, and February of the same year was after October), Liu Bang held an enthronement ceremony in Zhiyang, Dingtao Bishui, Shandong (near Cao County, Shandong), and named the country Han, which was Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty. After Liu Bang became the emperor, the queen Lu Pheasant was renamed the queen, and the crown prince Liu Ying was called the crown prince. The national capital was originally in Liyang (now southeast of Fuping, Shaanxi), and the capital was Luoyang (now Luoyang, Henan) in May.

When Han Gaozu founded the country and became emperor, it was more than half a hundred. Liu Bang, who entered his later years, became increasingly suspicious of the heroes who fought the world together, especially those kings with different surnames. As a result, Zang Di, Zhang Ao, Han Wangxin, Peng Yue, Han Xin, Yingbu and others were abolished and killed one after another, Yingbu also rebelled, and Liu Bang was sick and personally recruited to pacify him. After that, his feudal kingdom was transferred to the hands of the descendants of the Liu family. Only Wu's Changsha Kingdom was spared. Not only that, but he also became suspicious of Xiao He. forced him to try to tarnish his reputation to deduce the emperor's suspicions, and in the end he almost died well. Before his death, he also planned to kill the loyal Fan Xu, because he was also the son-in-law of the Lu family, and he was worried that he would help Lu to make trouble. Hou Fan escaped because of Chen Ping's protection and the death of Gao Zu.

In 195 BC, Liu Bang once killed the white horse as an alliance and made an oath: "If it is not the Liu family but the king, the world will fight against it." This is the "White Horse Alliance" in history.

There are two main contents of the "White Horse Alliance":

1: The country will last forever, and it will be given to the descendants. (As long as the Han Empire existed, the ministers and their descendants would always have wine to drink and meat to eat);

Two: If you are not the king of the Liu family, the world will attack it, and if you don't do anything about it, the world will punish it. (Non-members of the royal family are not allowed to be crowned kings, and those who do not have military merits are not allowed to be crowned marquis).

And for the heroes who are not surnamed Wang, such as Xiao He, they have to defile themselves to avoid being poisoned by Liu Bang:

After Xiao He planned to punish Han Xin, Liu Bang was even more favored to him, in addition to sealing Xiao He, he also sent a captain to lead 500 soldiers to be the escort of Xiangguo. All the guests congratulated and were full of joy. Xiao He was also very happy. On this day, Xiao He set up a banquet in the mansion to celebrate, beaming with joy. Suddenly, there was a doorman named Zhaoping, but he was dressed in plain clothes and white shoes, and he came in to mourn. Seeing this, Xiao He was furious and said, "Are you drunk?"

This man named Zhaoping was originally the Marquis of Tanglin in the Qin Dynasty. After the death of Qin, he lived in seclusion in Guo Wai's home to plant melons, the taste was extremely sweet, and the people of the time called Donglin melons. Xiao He entered the customs, heard the name of the virtuous, recruited to the scene, and every time he acted, he would consult with him and benefited a lot. Today, he saw that Xiao He still did not understand what he meant, so he said: "Don't be happy, from now on there will be endless trouble!" Xiao He was puzzled and asked: "I am the prime minister, and I am too favored, and I am cautious in trouble, and I dare not be a little negligent, why did you say this?" Zhaoping said: "The lord went to the south to conquer the north and the south, and personally risked the arrows and stones." And the public security is in the middle of the capital, not with the battle array, but has to seal the food and the city, I guess the will of the Lord, I am afraid that I am suspicious of the public. Don't you see the fate of Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin?" When Xiao He heard this, he suddenly realized, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The next morning, Xiao He hurried into the court, resigned from the feudal city, and took out a lot of family wealth, transferred it to the treasury, and transferred it to the military quarters. Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty was very happy and rewarded.

Liu Bang personally led his troops to conscript. He was in the front, and every time Xiao He sent someone to deliver military rations to the front, Liu Bang had to ask: "What is Xiao Xiangguo doing in Chang'an?" The envoy replied, Xiao Xiangguo loves the people like a son, and in addition to handling military supplies, he is nothing more than doing something to appease and sympathize with the people. After Liu Bang heard this, he was always silent. to repay Xiao He, Xiao He did not know what the Han Emperor meant.

One day, Xiao He occasionally asked about the doorman, and the doorman said: "The prince will soon be full of people." Xiao He was shocked and hurriedly asked why. The doorman then said: "If you are the head of the hundred officials, what other position can be given to you again? Moreover, as soon as you entered the customs, you won the love of the people, and it has been more than ten years now, and the people have supported you, and you have tried your best to do things for the people, so as to appease the people." Now, the emperor has asked you several times about your daily life movements, just because he is afraid that you will take advantage of the popularity of the people in Guanzhong to do some bad deeds! Just imagine, once you take advantage of the false call and close yourself off, will you not put the emperor in a situation where you cannot fight and have no way to return? Now why don't you buy a private house at a cheap price, deliberately let the people scold you, resent you, and create some bad reputation, so that the emperor will not be popular with the people when he sees that you are not popular with the people, and he will be at ease with you. Xiao He sighed and said, "How can I exploit the people and be a corrupt official!"

Liu Bang quelled the rebellion and withdrew his troops to return to Chang'an. The people blocked the road and filed a complaint, accusing Xiangguo of forcibly buying private land and houses at low prices, worth tens of millions. Liu Bang returned to the palace, and Xiangguo came to pay a visit. The emperor smiled and said, "When Xiangguo actually plundered the people's property for his own benefit!" handed over all the accusation letters of the people to Xiangguo, and said: "Go and apologize to the people yourself!"

Xiangguo took the opportunity to ask for the people: "The area around Chang'an is narrow, and there is a lot of open space in the Shanglin Garden, which is abandoned in vain, and I hope to order the people to go in and cultivate, and the straw (after the harvest will be owned by the cultivators) is not allowed to be collected, and it is left to be used as food for the birds and beasts in the garden." Liu Bang was furious and said, "Xiangguo, you have collected a lot of merchant's property, but you have come to ask for my Shanglin Yuan!" So he ordered Xiangguo to be handed over to Tingwei for detention and tortured him.

A few days later, Liu Bang, a guard attendant surnamed Wang, stepped forward and asked, "What great crime did Xiangguo commit, why did Your Majesty suddenly lock him up?" Liu Bang said: "I heard that Li Si served as the prime minister of Qin Shi Huang, and he attributed all his good deeds to the Lord, and if he made mistakes, he took them upon himself." Now Xiangguo accepts a lot of money from those lowly merchants, but he has come to ask for my garden for the people, and wants to please the people, so I will lock him up and punish him. Wang Weiwei said: "If it is within the scope of his duties, if there is something beneficial to the people, he will ask His Majesty for them, this is really what the Prime Minister should do, how can Your Majesty suspect that Xiangguo has accepted bribes from merchants? Moreover, at the beginning, Your Majesty and the Chu army could not hold each other, and for several years, when Chen Feng and Huang Bu rebelled, Your Majesty personally led the army out to quell the rebellion. Xiang Guo did not seek his own interests at that time, would he be greedy for the money of merchants now? Besides, Emperor Qin lost the world because he did not know his own faults, and what is there worth emulating in Li Si's practice of sharing the faults with the lord? How can Your Majesty use such a shallow vision to doubt the prime minister. Liu Bang listened to it and felt very unhappy. On the same day, a messenger was sent to pardon Xiangguo from prison with a talisman.

Xiao He was already in his 60s at the time, and when he saw Liu Bang release him, he was even more terrified, cautious and respectful. Although his hands and feet were numb because of the torture instruments he wore all over his body, he couldn't even walk, and he was unkempt and barefoot, and he was filthy, but he didn't dare to go back to the house to bathe and worship the Son of Heaven again, so he had to go to the temple like this to thank him. Liu Bang saw that Xiao He was so embarrassed, and he also felt a little uncomfortable, so he comforted Xiao He and said: "Xiangguo doesn't have to be polite! This time, Xiangguo originally petitioned for the people, and I didn't allow it." I'm just a godless son like Xia Wei and Shang Xun, but you are a virtuous prime minister. The reason why I imprisoned Xiangguo is to let the people know your virtuous ability and my mistakes!" Although Liu Bang's words were insincere, he finally acquiesced to Xiao He's honest government for the people. From then on, Xiao He was even more sincere and fearful of Liu Bang, and he was more respectful. Liu Bang also treated each other politely as usual, but Xiao He could only remain silent about state affairs from then on.

It can be seen that Xiao He was suspicious of Liu Bang, which can be said to be Liu Bang's own thoughts.

Coincidentally, what Zhang Liang did in the future was more like Fan Li, to avoid being suspicious of the monarch.

......

Zhang Liang has always been frail and sickly, since Liu Bang entered the capital Guanzhong, the world was decided, he excused himself from illness and closed his door. With the gradual consolidation of Liu Bang's throne, Zhang Liang gradually retreated from the "emperor's division" to the status of "emperor's guest", following the principle of dispensable, advancing and stopping. In the brutal struggle of Liu Bangjian to destroy the king with a different surname in the early Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang rarely participated in the plot. In the open and secret struggle of the Western Han royal family, Zhang Liang also adhered to the legacy of "intimacy".

In 197 BC (the tenth year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty), a new crisis appeared in the upper echelons of the Han Dynasty; Liu Bang has the intention of changing the prince. At that time, Liu Bang favored Mrs. Qi, and noticed that Empress Lu had different intentions and signs of acting on behalf of Liu Erwang, so he wanted to abolish the prince Xiaohui and set up King Zhao Ruyi as the crown prince. The ministers of the government and the opposition joined forces to argue, but they could not change Liu Bang's original intention in the slightest.

Seeing that the crown prince was about to be deprived, Empress Lu asked for help from the "think tank" Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang considered that the prince was a very important matter, and he could not be easily replaced, and the great Confucian uncle Sun Tong said well: "The prince is the world, and the world is shaken." In addition, at that time, the world was decided, the foundation of the Han Dynasty's rule was not yet solid, and the various systems were still improving. Based on this overall situation, Zhang Liangsui said to Empress Lu: It is difficult to protect the prince with a tongue, and the "Four Hao of Shangshan" are all more than 80, and the righteousness is high, not the title of the Han Dynasty, hiding in the mountains and forests, and the emperor is not hired, but he is still the "Four Hao" of high righteousness. If the prince humbly asks the "four Hao" to go out of the mountain, and enters and leaves the palace to accompany the "four Hao", the emperor will ask and know, and if he knows, the prince's position can be solid. As Zhang Liangyan said, Liu Bang asked the "Si Hao" who accompanied the prince to be a hermit that he couldn't invite, and now he is about the prince, it can be seen that the prince's wings are full, and his wings are also hard, so he can't help it, and he never mentions Prince Yili again. The crown prince finally won the heir, and Empress Lu also respected Zhang Liang for this.

Zhang Liang's retreat is actually incomplete, because Zhang Liang can be said to be very insightful about many things. Compared with Xiao He, his experience is naturally more transcendent, which also makes Zhang Liang another model among the famous ministers who have protected themselves in the past dynasties.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

The reason why Zhang Liang assisted Zhang Jiashi and was willing to change his original intention to serve the Great Qin Empire was more because he thought that Zhang Jiashi was not the kind of cruel and ruthless monarch, but a man who was tolerant like the First Emperor.

Moreover, the area controlled by the Great Qin Empire under Zhang Jiashi's governance, after Zhang Liang made a corresponding understanding, did make its inherent concept suffer a great blow, and I have to admit that Zhang Jiashi's governance method is more effective for the country and the people.

Although Zhang Liang has already married at this time and has his own child Zhang Budo, there is no doubt that Zhang Liang is not too inclined to develop his own family, after all, if Zhang Liang attaches importance to his family, he will not sit idly by and ignore his seriously ill younger brother after the demise of Korea, and still hopes to overthrow the Qin State and restore Korea, which eventually leads to his brother's serious illness.

And walking to the bottom of the steps where Zhang Jiashi was, Zhang Liang respectfully clasped his fists at Zhang Jiashi, and then waited for Zhang Jiashi to give him the next order.

And Zhang Jiashi took a scroll in the hands of his father-in-law, and then handed it to Zhang Liang:

"Zhang Yushi, in front of all the civil and military personnel in the main hall, you are reading the contents of this dossier. ”

"Whoa!"

After hearing Zhang Jiashi's words, Zhang Liang respectfully took the scroll handed to him by Zhang Jiashi, and then turned around and slowly unfolded it......
