As we all know, in the era when Empress Lu was in power, the princes and kings of the Liu family, as well as a large number of heroes, had a very uncomfortable life.

Many times I sleep at night, but when I wake up on the second day, I am already a prisoner.

There are not many founding heroes who can survive this period, and Xiahou Ying is one of them.

And the main reason why he was able to survive and even become an official in this process is that Emperor Hui Liu Ying and Empress Lu himself are very grateful to Xiahoudun, and they are grateful to Xiahouying for saving Liu Ying and Princess Lu Yuan with all their might, and did not let Liu Bang directly kick the two children out of the car.

Otherwise, Emperor Hui himself would have died early, not to mention, and Empress Lu would have completely lost the opportunity to be the queen mother and even control the government now because of the loss of her own flesh and blood.

At this time, it is not clear that the emperor who is high above is Liu Ruyi, and the queen mother is Mrs. Qi, and it is conceivable what the result will be for Empress Lu.

It is precisely because of this kindness that Xiahou Ying lived quite comfortably in the period after Lu, and had a good relationship with the entire Lu family, India is considered by the Lu family to be their own people, the same as the Fan family.

Therefore, Xiahou Ying often used this identity characteristic to beg for mercy for many heroes who were about to be confessed, saving their lives, which made the hero group feel that Xiahou Ying was also their own person.

But when the heroes wanted to kill the Lu family, although the stupid Lu family was quickly killed, how to deal with the young emperor who stayed in the palace was a big problem. After all, the young emperor was a veritable emperor at this time, and they were all the emperor's courtiers.

They can kill the Lu family who committed the following crimes in the name of the Qing monarch's side, but if they dare to do something to the emperor, the nature will be completely different.

Although Chen Ping came up with an excellent excuse, saying that the current little emperor is not the bloodline of the Liu family, but the baby that Empress Lu bought from the people in order to maintain his rule, thus laying the foundation for the abolition of the emperor in legal reason.

But the emperor is the emperor after all, and no one dares to do it to the emperor in the first place.

As a result, at this time, Xiahou Ying silently drove into the palace, and then picked up the children of Emperor Hui and Emperor Hui of the young emperor, so as to clean up the palace, and these children died outside that night.

Finally, if you look at all the records about Xiahou Ying in the history books, you will find that Xiahou Ying is not only both civil and military, but also very good at judging the situation, and the most important characteristic is that he is good at making friends, or leaving favors.

When Liu Xu wanted to understand the characteristics of Xiahou Ying, then looking at the scene of Xiahou Ying keeping people under the knife in history, the reason became quite clear.

That is, Xiahou Ying is a person who is both civil and military, and he also has considerable wisdom, so he never thought of killing Han Xin from the beginning.

Although the history books do not say what crime Han Xin committed to be beheaded, it is said in the book that Han Xin committed a crime that was jointly and severally. And with Han Xin's character, he should not take the initiative to make fatal mistakes.

So the situation at that time was very simple to be able to infer that it was Han Xin's 13 subordinates who made a mistake, and Han Xin, as the leader of these 13 people, committed the crime of negligence, so he was beheaded by these 13 people, but in essence, Han Xin was actually innocent.

So Xiahou Ying was very simple and beheaded the first 13 people, but when it came to Han Xin, Xiahou Ying must have hesitated.

After all, Xiahou Ying knew that Han Xin was an innocent and unlucky person who was implicated, plus Han Xin's official position was actually appointed by Liu Bang himself, and at the same time, Han Xin also served as a personal soldier with Xiang Yu, this unique qualifications decided that it was impossible for Xiahou Ying to kill Han Xin at will.

And at this time, Han Xin happened to shout again, "Does Pei Gong still want the world?" You want to kill a strong man like me! ”

On the one hand, this sentence is to show his ability and courage, but on the other hand, is it not a kind of begging for mercy?

Xiahou Ying was already very hesitant to kill Han Xin, and then Han Xin said this again, Xiahou Ying naturally hesitated even more.

At the same time, in fact, there is another description in the history books at this time

"Teng Gongqi is amazing, strong in appearance, release but not cut!"

Teng Gong was referring to Xiahou Ying, Sima Qian said that Xiahou Ying was surprised by Han Xin's words, and at the same time saw Han Xin's extraordinary appearance, so he released Han Xin without killing him.

Here is a special sentence to add that Han Xin's appearance is extraordinary.

Although our teachers have taught us since childhood, don't judge people by their appearance, and don't judge whether a person is capable because of their appearance.

There is no problem with this sentence itself, but since the world warns us not to judge people by their appearance, it means that most of the time, the world judges people by their appearance.

In fact, if a person has a high appearance, he will be born with a lot of good feelings. To some extent, being ugly is an original sin, and this is the cruelest truth of society.

And this cruelty was even more pronounced in ancient times.

In modern society, judging people by their appearance is a kind of political incorrectness, no one dares to say in public that they are judged by their appearance, and all laws also clearly stipulate that a person cannot be treated differently because of his or her appearance.

But in ancient times, judging people by their appearance was a public matter, and even when the imperial court screened officials, there was a special requirement when the imperial examination was held.

That is, those who participate in the screening and imperial examinations are required to have a good appearance and no physical defects.

And when it comes to participating in the palace examination, the last pass of the imperial examination, the first screening criterion is not how the examination paper is, but whether the person looks handsome, even if he is not handsome, he must be upright, otherwise no matter how good your writing is, no matter how brilliant the written test paper is, you will not be qualified for the palace examination at all, because your appearance will stain the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, and at the same time it will damage the dignity of the country.

That's right, to be ugly is to damage the dignity of the country, this is the standard of that era.

On the contrary, if you are handsome, you will be able to get a lot of convenience and recognition.

A careful examination of the history books will find that there are many famous figures in history, and when they turn from obscurity to their careers, there will be a basis in the history books "because of their extraordinary appearance, and they are different." ”

So at this time, when Xiahou Ying hesitated in every way, he found that Han Xin was not only able to speak, but also very handsome, so Xiahou Ying completely let go of his murderous intent and released Han Xin.

Although this sounds ugly, when the three elements of "innocence" + "strange words" + "extraordinary appearance" are added together, Xiahou Ying, who is both civil and military, and is good at making friends, naturally will not let go of such an opportunity to make friends, so he sold Han Xin a favor.

And Xiahou Ying went to chat with Han Xin from time to time in the next period of time, and in the process of chatting, Han Xin would naturally confide in his research and views on the general trend of the world, and then Xiahou Ying was completely shocked by Han Xin, and finally recommended Han Xin to Xiao He instead.

After many years, someone asked Han Xin, who else in this Han country will fight besides your old man.

As a result, Han Xin thought for a long time, only said that Zhou Bo was okay, and then added, "Xiahou Ying can be counted as half!" ”

The address was modified for various reasons
