< Historical Records Volume 53: Biography of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang (9)

In 200 BC, Xiongnu attacked Taiyuan, where Xin surrendered to Xiongnu. His subordinate, Minister Man Qiuchen, and Wang Huang made Zhao Li, an old general of the former State of Zhao, king in Baitucheng, and joined forces to rebel. Liu bang led the army to pacify and went straight to the city of peace. At that time, it was freezing, and two-thirds of Liu Bang's military tactics were frozen. Liu Bang led an army to take risks and was surrounded by tarquin in Deng Bai, the city of peace. After seven days and seven nights, Liu Bang used Chen Ping's strategy to send someone to bribe his wife and finally escaped. After Liu Bang retreated, he sent Fan Kuai to continue to pacify the land and named his second brother Liu Zhong king.

In February, Liu Bang withdrew from Pingcheng and returned to Chang 'an via Zhao and Luoyang. Since then, the Han Dynasty has adopted a humiliating pro-Xiongnu policy. At this time, Changle Palace has been built, and officials below Prime Minister Xiao He have gone to the new capital Chang 'an for office.

In BC 199, Liu Bang led an army eastward to pursue the remnants of Han Wangxin in Dongyuan. Xiao He is responsible for the construction of Weiyang Palace, including Dongque, Beique, Qian Dian, Arsenal, Taicang and other palaces. When Liu Bang came back, he was furious when he saw the magnificent palace. He was born a gangster. On the spot, he angrily denounced Xiao He: "People all over the world have suffered from swords and soldiers for many years. Whether they will succeed now is still unknown. How dare you build the palace so big? " Xiao He replied: "There is a saying among the people:' Only bricks and tiles can be the king's law'. It is precisely because the world has recognized that the palace was built in this way. The son of heaven should take the four seas as his home, and the place where he lives is not magnificent, and future generations cannot surpass it. " Liu bang was overjoyed after hearing this.

When Liu Bang was fighting in Dongyuan, he passed by Boren County of Zhao, and Zhao Cheng and others waited for an opportunity to murder Liu Bang. Liu Bang was uneasy, thinking that this "Berber" sounded like a "broken man", so he didn't stay to live, but fortunately he escaped. Liu Zhong, the acting king, has limited ability and cannot suffer from the border and the north. After being hit by Xiongnu many times, he simply abandoned the country and fled back to Luoyang. Liu Bang had no choice but to demote him as the Hou of Heyang.

In BC 198, an incident broke out in Guanlai, and the three clans were destroyed. At the same time, Zhao was abolished as Xuanping Hou. During this year, Liu Bang moved Zhao, Qu, Jing, Huai and Tian of Qi to live in Guanzhong.

After the completion of Weiyang Palace, Liu Bang held a banquet in the front hall to gather his ministers. Holding a jade cup in his hand, he first got up to propose a toast to the emperor's father and said to his father, "At the beginning, your old man often said that I was a local ruffian and rogue, and I couldn't cure any industry, so I was not as good as my brother in farm work." Who owns more property than my brother now? "Long live the temple minister, laughing and drinking endlessly.

In BC 197 10, Ying Bu, Peng Yue, Lu Wan, Liu Jia, Liu Jiao, Liu Fei and Wu Rui all made pilgrimages to Changle Palace. In July, Emperor Taizong died in Liyang Palace, and King Chu and King Liang came to attend the funeral. Liu bang issued a letter to pardon Liyang prisoners. Rename Yili to Xinfeng.

In August, Prime Minister Zhao rebelled. Liu Bang said, "Chen Yi once traveled all over the country on my behalf as an envoy, and what he did was very prestigious. Because Dai Di is close to the Huns, the position is very important, so I named Chen Yi as a Liehou and guarded Dai Di as the Prime Minister. Now I am looting Dai Di with Wang Huang and others! The people are not guilty on behalf of the land, and forgive the people on behalf of the land. "

In September, Liu Bang led an army to conquer Chen Yi. When the troops arrived in Handan, they saw that Chen Yi had not sent troops to guard it. Liu Bang said happily, "Chen Yi does not take Handan as the south, but Zhang Shui as the barrier. Through this incident, I know that he is an incompetent leader. " Hearing that many of Chen Yi's subordinates were businessmen, Liu Bang said, "I know how to deal with them." So I sent someone to send a lot of money to Chen Yi's Ministry, and many people came to surrender.

In BC 196, Liu Bang conquered Chen Yi in Handan without results. Hou Chang of Chen Yi led more than 10,000 people to fight guerrilla warfare everywhere, Wang Huang led his troops to Kunming, and Zhang Chundu crossed the Yellow River to attack Liaocheng. Liu bang sent general Guo Meng and Qi soldiers to meet and defeat the rebels. Autumn attacked Taiyuan, pacified it, attacked Mayi for a long time, and completely eliminated Mayi after autumn.

Chen Yi's Zhao Li guarded Dongyuan, and Liu Bang besieged it for more than a month. Zhao Li sent soldiers to insult Liu Bang, and Liu Bang was furious. After breaking the city, Liu Bang ordered the beheading of the abusive people, and there was no pardon for swearing. Seeing that Zhao had repeatedly rebelled, Liu Bang split Zhao in two, and made his son Liu Heng as the acting king, making Jinyang his capital.

This year, Han Xin, the son of Huaiyin, who was under house arrest, was accused of rebellion, and was finally inexplicably killed by Lv Hou, destroying the three clans. This summer, Peng Yue, King of Liang, rebelled, and Liu Bang deposed his throne and was exiled to Shu. Later, it was reported that Peng Yue planned another rebellion, and Liu Bang wrote a letter to destroy his three families. Liu Bangli's son Liu Hui is the King of Liang and Liu You is the King of Huaiyang. In autumn and July, Ying Bu, king of Huainan, rebelled, annexed the land of Liu Jia, king of Jing in the east, crossed the Huaihe River in the north, and Liu Jiao, king of Chu, fled to Xue County. Liu bang led the army to pacify and made his son Chang Lu the king of Huainan. In October 195 BC, Liu Bang defeated Ying Bu in Jiang Hui, Ying Bu fled after the defeat, and Liu Bang sent other generals to pursue him.

When Liu Bang was still a soldier, he passed by his hometown Pei County. He deliberately stopped and gave a banquet in Pei County. He invited all his old familiar children to have a good drink, and invited 120 children from Pei County, and Liu Bang asked them to sing. Liu bang was so drunk and hot that he couldn't help singing. He got up and sang a poem: "The wind blows and clouds fly, the weaver girl returns to the hometown of the sea, and the strong man guards everywhere!" " He asked these children to learn chorus. Liu bang danced with the rhythm, sad and generous, and burst into tears.

Liu Bang said to his brothers and sisters in Pei County, "Wanderers worry about their hometown. Although I am the capital of Guanzhong, I miss this hot land in my dream. The soul after my death will always belong to Pei County, where I was born and raised. Since Ren Peigong, I have eliminated rebellion and leveled the world. I am writing a letter now: take Pei County as my soup bath city, and the people here will not have to pay taxes for generations. " The elder brothers and aunts in Pei county also drank heartily, and Liu Bangxu couldn't help laughing when talking about the past.

After more than ten days, Liu Bang was leaving, and the brothers in Pei County insisted on retaining Liu Bang. Liu bang said to them, "I have a large number of men, so you can't afford me." So I got on the horse and left reluctantly. On this day, the whole Pei County went to see Liu Bang off, and the people followed him to the west of the city to present gifts such as cattle, sheep and wine. Liu bang had to stay and drink for another three days.

Pei County's father and brother all kowtowed and said, "Pei County has been exempted from taxes, so Feng Yi is not. I hope your majesty will have mercy on them. " Liu Bang said: "Fengyi is the place where I grew up. Of course, I will never forget it. But I clearly remember that Feng Yi followed Yong Chi to surrender to Wei and opposed me. " The brothers and sisters in Peixian repeatedly asked, and finally Liu Bang agreed to enjoy the same treatment as Peixian. Liu Bangli Pei Hou and Liu Bi were kings of Wu.

Liu Bangpai's generals chased Ying Bu to the north and south of Taoshui, defeated Ying Bu, and later killed Ying Bu in Poyang, pitying an important figure in the Chu-Han War, and finally ended up in ruin. Fan Kuai led an army to pacify Dai Di and killed Chen Yi in Dangcheng.

In November, Liu Bang returned to Chang 'an. 1February, Liu Bang said: "Qin Shihuang, Chu Yin Wang Chen Sheng, Wang Li, Qi Jin Wang and Daoxiang all have no descendants. Now they are divided into 10 households, 20 households of Qin Wang and 5 households of commerce." All Dai Di officials and people plundered by Chen Sihe and Zhao Li were pardoned. When Lu Wan, the prince of Yan, rebelled, he sent people to plot with Chen Si. Liu Bangpa Biyanghou examined his diet and sent Lu Wan back to Beijing. Lu Wan refused to admit that he was ill. When Shen Shi came back, he said that Lu Wan really wanted to rebel. In February, Liu Bang sent Fan Kuai to attack Luwan, and at the same time wrote a letter to pardon Yan officials and people who followed the rebellion. Liu bang named his son Liu Jian the prince of Yan.

When Liu Bang was chasing Ying Bu, he was shot by an arrow and indulged in Pei County, and fell ill on the way. Queen Lu invited a good doctor, and Liu Bang asked the doctor about his illness. The doctor replied, "This disease is not difficult to treat." I didn't expect Liu Bang to open his mouth and scold: "I will take the world with a three-foot sword. Isn't this destiny takes a hand? " I live in heaven, although Bian Que's regeneration is useless! "Insist on no treatment, reward 50 jins of gold, and send the doctor away.

Seeing that the old man's days were numbered, Lv Hou quickly asked, "Your Majesty is one hundred years old. If Guo Xiang dies, who will take over? " Liu Bang replied: "Cao Can can." After Lv Hou asked Cao Can again, Liu Bang replied, "The grave is fine. But the tomb is too loyal and straight, and Chen Ping can help. Chen Ping has enough wisdom, but it is hard to be the only one. I am a loyal minister, but the person who will settle the Liu family in the future will definitely be the captain. " After Lv Hou asked again, Liu Bang sighed and said, "This is not what I expected."

Lu Wan led thousands of cavalry waiting under the plug, hoping that Liu Bang would go to Beijing to apologize after his recovery.

On the first day of April, Liu Bang died in Changle Palace, and Lv Hou ordered no mourning for four days. Lv Hou and Shen Shiqi discussed: "Those founding generals and governors often expressed their dissatisfaction when the first emperor was the emperor. Many people rebelled, and the first emperor was busy blocking the east and the west. Now, if they know the news of the death of the first emperor, they will soon be ruled by a young little emperor, so something will definitely happen. Without destroying all these heroes, the world will be unstable. "

Someone heard about it, so please report it to General Li Shang. Li Shangyin went to see Shen and said, "I heard that the emperor died, and I won't mourn for four days, so I will kill all the generals." If we really want to do this, then the world is in danger. Chen Ping and Guan Ying led 100,000 people to guard Xingyang, and Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo led 200,000 people to pacify Yan. If they hear the news that the emperor is dead and everyone is finished, they will definitely jointly attack Guanzhong. At that time, ministers rebelled at home and governors rebelled outside, waiting for the demise of the Han Dynasty. Peter said Shen Shi to tell the time, Lv Hou has announced the national mourning on Sunday, ordered the amnesty. "。

After hearing the news of Liu Bang's death, Lu Wan felt desperate and fled to Xiongnu.

Bing Yinri buried Liu Bang in Changling, and he succeeded to the throne in Taizi Temple of the Emperor Tai Shang. The ministers said, "Liu Bang started at the end of Wei Dynasty, set things right, and decided the world. As a great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, he made the highest contribution. " Therefore, Liu Bang was honored as the high emperor. Liu Yuxin inherited the throne and was very filial to Hui Di. Liu Ying ordered the county governors to build Liu Bang's temple and make sacrifices on time every year.

In BC 190, Hui Di, a filial son, remembered that Liu Bang had missed Pei County, so he designated Pei Gong Palace as Liu Bang's original temple. At that time, Liu Bangjiao sang 120 children, all of whom were asked to play music in the original temple, and then they were replaced when there was room.

Liu Bang * * gave birth to eight sons: the eldest son Qi Aifei, the second son Won, born in Lv Hou, the third son Zhao Liuruyi, born in Qi's wife and four Jpua, and later became Emperor Xiaowen, born in Bo Hou, the fifth son Liu Hui, and the sixth son Huaiyang, born in Lv Hou.

Tai Shigong said: The Xia Dynasty advocated loyalty to politics. The disadvantage of loyalty to politics was that people were easy to be rude, while the Shang Dynasty advocated respect for politics. The end result of respecting politics is that people are easy to believe in ghosts and gods, so the Zhou Dynasty advocated the rule of courtesy. The disadvantage of ritual politics is that people are easy to be hypocritical, and shrimp soldiers and crabs will be disloyal. These three dynasties seem to go round and round. Isn't it more absurd for Qin politics to adopt harsh laws? Therefore, after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, they accepted the lessons of these four dynasties and were able to rule the world. In the Han dynasty, October was the beginning of a year, and governors went to Beijing to see the emperor every October. It is stipulated that the clothing system of the emperor's car is to use yellow satin as the lining of the car cover, and the upper left side of the front crossbar should be decorated with oxtail or pheasant tail.
