said that Gaozu knew that Han Xin did not rebel, but he was afraid of his talent before he was imprisoned. Now he not only seized his land, but also took pity on his innocence, so he issued an edict to make him the Marquis of Huaiyin, divided the land of Chu into two countries, and set Liu Jia as the king of Jing, and possessed Huaidong; He established his younger brother Liu Jiao as the king of Chu and possessed Huaixi. He also set up his brother Liu Xi as the acting king, and his eldest son Fei as the king of Qi, so the kings with the same surname got four kingdoms. However, his nephew Liu Xin was not allowed to stay in Liyang. Taigong suspected that Gao Zu had lost his memory, and once said that Gao Zu said angrily: "My son is not forgetful, just because Liu Xin's mother is narrow and unwilling to share my soup, so my son still has residual hatred." "My sister-in-law was small, and my uncle was not generous. Taigong was silent. When Gaozu saw that his father was not satisfied, he sealed Liu Xin as the Marquis of Tangjie. is called a soup, and he has always refused to let go of his suspicions.

Gaozu then named Cao Shen as the Marquis of Pingyang, Zhou Bo as the Marquis of Jiang, Fan Hao as the Marquis of Wuyang, Li Shang as the Marquis of Qu Zhou, Xiahou Ying as the Marquis of Ruyin, Guan Ying as the Marquis of Yingyin, Lu Ze as the Marquis of Zhou Lu, Lü Shizhi as the Marquis of Jiancheng, and Chen Xi as the Marquis of Yang Xia,。。。。。。 No mention is provided here.

Because Zhang Liang and Chen Ping had no military exploits, Gaozu did not discuss it, so he sealed the two of them on his own. Zhang Liang chose 30,000 households in Qidi by himself, Zhang Liang said: The minister took refuge in Xiapi, and when he heard that His Majesty raised troops and even stayed in the city to meet, this is the will of God to grant His Majesty. Your Majesty listened to the use of ministers to seek meritorious service, but now the wish to give the ministers to stay in the city is enough, how dare you be 30,000 households? "Gaozu named Zhang Liang as the marquis, and Liang thanked him and retreated. He also summoned Chen Ping, and because Chen Ping was a villager of Humu, he named him the Marquis of Humu. Pingbai said: "This is not the credit of the minister, please Your Majesty to seal someone else." Gao Zu said: "I used Mr.'s plan to defeat the attack, why can't I say anything?" Chen Ping replied: "If it weren't for Wei Wuzhi, how could the minister get into trouble?" Gao Zujia sighed: "You have not forgotten your roots!" "It is rumored that Wei Wuzhi gave a special daughter, and Chen Ping was still entitled. Chen Ping and Wei Wuzhi thanked each other and withdrew. Liang and Ping are smart after all.

He also issued an edict to entitle Xiao He as a marquis, counting 8,000 households.

When the generals heard the news, they were all not convinced. So they invariably entered the Gaozu Dao: "The ministers are stubbornly sharp, many of them have more than 100 battles, and there are dozens of battles, and the size of the siege city and land are different, and they sacrifice their lives to kill the enemy and work hard. Today, Xiao He has no merit, but he is sitting and discussing, why is he above the ministers? Gao Zu saw that the generals were coming with a menacing voice, and he was indignant when he spoke, so he calmly said to everyone: "Do you know whether you know Tian Hunting? The hunting rabbit relied on the hunting dog, and the instructions were directed by the hunter. The kings attacked the city and defeated the enemy, but they were similar to the hounds, and they only obtained a few beasts in vain. Xiao He can send longitudinal instructions to make the hunting dog chase the beast rabbit, which is comparable to the hunter. According to this, all the gentlemen are not meritorious dogs, but Xiao He is a meritorious person! Besides, Xiao He moved the clan to accompany him, as many as dozens of people, let me ask you, can you have dozens of people? I reward Xiao He so much, I hope you don't doubt it! When the generals heard this, they retreated silently.

One day, Gaozu walked up the road in Luoyang Nangong, and Zhang Liang followed left and right. Gao Zu inadvertently looked out, and saw that many people had gathered at the water's edge, talking about each other, and it was the generals who looked closely. Gao Zu was suspicious and asked Zhang Liangdao, "What are they discussing?" Zhang Liang said: "Your Majesty didn't know that they must have gathered together to rebel." Gao Zu exclaimed: "The world is peaceful and peaceful, why rebel?" Zhang Liang said: "Your Majesty was born in cloth clothes, and he used this generation to win the world." Now Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and the people he rewards are the people he loves on weekdays, and the people he kills are also people who have a grudge in his life. This generation heard that there was a reward for his merits, and he was afraid that His Majesty would not be able to seal it all over, and he would find his fault in the future, so he gathered to rebel. ”

Gao Zu was shocked and asked, "What is the best plan now?" Zhang Liang pondered for a long time and said, "Who does Your Majesty hate the most on weekdays?" Gao Zu said: "Yongya and I had old grudges when I was young, and I was often insulted by them, and I wanted to kill them, but I couldn't bear it because of its many merits." Zhang Liang said: "Today, the only way to seal the teeth first is to show the generals." The generals saw that Yongya was sealed, and naturally everyone was relieved not to rebel. ”

According to Gaozu's words, he hurriedly ordered the generals of the wine conference to be left and right, and the same day he sealed Yongya as the Marquis of Shifang. Gaozu not only sealed Yongya, but also urged the prime minister to quickly determine the meritorious deeds. After the wine dispersed that day, the generals went home, and each secretly rejoiced: "Yongya is still a marquis, and my generation can be safe." A few days later, Gaozu appointed dozens of generals as marquises. The inner tomb of the king is the marquis of Anguo, and the trial is the marquis of Biyang, and the rest of the people do not need to be detailed.

The marquis has been entitled, and there is a division to determine his rank, Gaozu has not yet spoken, and the generals said together: "Pingyang Hou Cao Shen was injured seventy times, and he had the most merit in attacking the city, and he should be ranked first." "Gao Zu originally wanted to make Xiao He the first, but now I heard that the generals recommended Cao Shen, thinking that I had violated the will of the people before and sealed Xiao He, and now what is the way to make Xiao He take the lead? I couldn't think about it for a moment. was hesitating and not answering, and said to the Hou Qianqiu: "What the ministers discussed is wrong, although Cao Shen has the merit of attacking the city and gaining the land, it is only a temporary matter. His Majesty fought with Chu for five years, and lost countless soldiers in the middle. Xiao He often sent troops from Guanzhong to replenish it, and whenever His Majesty was in danger, Xiao He did not wait for the edict, and often sent tens of thousands of people to respond. When Chu and Han were far away from Xingyang for a long time, there was no ready-made grain and grass in the army, and Xiao He often transported grain supplies by waterways to avoid shortage. Although His Majesty has been defeated and lost land repeatedly, Xiao He can often protect Guanzhong to wait for His Majesty, which is a merit of eternity. According to the minister's opinion, Xiao He should be ranked first, and Cao Shen is second, which is fair. ”

When Gao Zu heard E Qianqiu's words, he was overjoyed in his heart, and nodded his head again and again.

So Xiao He was listed first, and the sword was given to the palace to enter the court. All Xiao He's brothers, sons and nephews were given food. I also remembered that when I went to Xianyang as the pavilion chief, everyone gave 300 money, and Du Xiao He sent 500 money, 200 more than others, so I added Xiao He 2,000 households as a reward.

Gaozu has completed the seal and set off to Liyang.

At this time, the prince also lived in the Liyang Palace, and the ancestor would come to see the prince every five days, still perform the family ceremony, and then say goodbye, sit for a while, and then go back. This is a common family affair, and it should be the case between father and son. Who knew that one day Gaozu came to see Taigong by car, and before arriving at the palace gate, Taigong went out to greet him with a broom, and went backwards all the way. Gao Zu was shocked when he saw it, hurriedly jumped out of the car, grabbed Taigong two steps in front and said, "Why is your lord like this? Taigong smiled and said: "The emperor is the lord of the people, and he is admired by the subjects of the world, but because I am alone, I have messed up the law." "Gao Zu was enlightened when he heard this. So he entered the palace with the prince and sat down, thinking that the Tai Fair Day was not like this, and someone must have taught him this time.

Because he sent someone to secretly investigate, it turned out to be a family order from the princess. Seeing that Gaozu had been on the throne for a long time, the Taigong had no honorific title, and wanted to show it to Gaozu, but he was afraid that he would forget his father and violate his jealousy, so he came up with a method to make him realize himself, so he said to Taigong: "The ancients said, 'There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings in the earth.'" 'Although the emperor is a son, he is a lord; Although the prince is a father, he is a minister, how can he make the lord come to worship the minister? It is inevitably despised, and it is afraid that the coercion will not work. Taigong followed his words, so when he saw the arrival of Gaozu, he suddenly respected. Gao Zu found out that it was a family order, and he was very happy in his heart. I secretly thought that I had always forgotten about it, but fortunately he reminded me of it, so I returned to my palace and ordered someone to give the prince a family order with 500 catties of gold. In the summer of May, Gaozu issued an edict: A person's closest relatives are like father and son. Therefore, the father has the world to return to the son, and the son has the world to return to the father, which is extremely humane. The day before yesterday, the world was in turmoil, the military revolution and the suffering of all the people, I was stubborn and self-directed, committing dangers, quelling riots, establishing princes, and resting the people in the world. The princes and generals have respected me as the emperor, but the prince has not been honored, and now the prince is the emperor.

Since the prince received the title of the emperor, his name is justified, and when the ancestor comes to see him in the future, he will naturally sit down and worship, and there is no need to be polite.

Speaking of Taigong, he has always been used to being cloth clothes since he was a child. Since becoming the emperor, if you want to go out to play, you have to alarm many people, line up Luan to help the front and back, out of the palace gate and have to clear the road to expel pedestrians, meet the princes and generals, all come to the ground to greet them, many etiquette is really annoying. He didn't want to see people avoid saluting him, so he didn't bother to go out. However, I lived in the deep palace for a long time to enjoy rich clothes and food, and I was too idle to have fun, so I accidentally found the courtiers and palace maids to gossip, and I didn't feel very interesting. Looking back on the past in Fengyi, or talking with relatives, or gathering with butchers and traders to fight cocks and play ball, how carefree! Now living in the palace is like a prisoner, and it is not as free as before. Therefore, when I think of my hometown, I want to return to the east. I was afraid that Gaozu would not let him return, so he was depressed all day long.

One day when Gaozu arrived, he saw that the emperor was sad, he was afraid that he was not feeling well, but he was not sick when he asked, so he called the emperor's left and right attendants to ask the reason. Gaozu thought that the Emperor Taishang was old when he returned, and he had no relatives by his side, so he finally felt uneasy. So I came up with a plan. Immediately call the famous craftsman Wu Kuan to Fengyi, see the streets, houses, markets and pastoral fields one by one, draw a detailed pattern, and transform it according to the map near Liyang, and complete it in a few months. Gaozu named Xinfeng, and issued an edict to move all the people in Fengyi to live here, and all expenses were provided by the officials, and everyone brought their belongings and livestock from home. When I arrived in Xinfeng, I saw that the streets and alleys were like my hometown, and even the style of the portal was the same, and everyone was surprised. So men, women, and children can recognize their houses without the guidance of others, and put their dogs, sheep, chickens, and ducks on the streets, and they can also know the way and return to their homes, as if the whole of Fengyi had been moved.

And all the people rejoiced, and each gave a reward for his work. Gaozu saw that Xinfeng had been completed, so he invited the Emperor Taishang to play, and the Emperor Taishang arrived in Xinfeng, as if he was returning to his hometown, and his heart was happy, and he was no longer depressed.

One day Gaozu was in the Weiyang Palace, and Emperor Taishang ascended to the front hall of the palace, and he led the princes and princes to congratulate them together. After kneeling and opening the feast, Gaozu accompanied the emperor to drink, and the ministers on both sides sat down according to the class. Gaozu sat up to celebrate the birthday of the emperor. The Emperor smiled and drank a drink, and the princes and princes stood up in turn to offer birthday wine to the Emperor. The Emperor Taishang drank casually, and drank several glasses, and the wine was so hearty that he felt more and more happy, and Gaozu jokingly said: "In the past, adults often said that courtiers and scoundrels can't manage property, but Brother Zhong tried his best to make a living. Who has more and who has less inheritance than the middle brother? The Emperor had no words to answer, so he had to smile awkwardly.

Mrs. Liu was originally an old man from a banker, and he didn't know what was going on in the imperial court, and his power had nothing to do with him. Liu Bang refuted his father's words in public, but the historian said that the real emperor was much more noble than the people? It's a strange thing.
