Mentioning that Liu Bang's first reaction to him was that the emperor who did not learn any skills, walked from the street market to the palace hall, it was impossible to say that Liu Bang had no ability at all, but no matter how capable people were, they could not lack the assistance of their subordinates.
Liu Bang was able to know people to make good use of them, serve people with righteousness, believe in words, share blessings, have courage, and so on.
After he became emperor, he did not stingy with his brothers who fought with him, and did not treat them badly at all, and there were more than 140 princes of the Great Seal, and they truly achieved the blessing of sharing.
However, after Liu Bang became emperor, he almost sealed all his relatives, but he did not seal his own nephews, and fed his father a "delicacy" every day, which made his father rush to forgive him soon after.
This can't help but make people feel very confused, what the hell is going on, things have to start from Liu Bang when he was a child.
Not doing the right thing is annoying
When Liu Bang was a child, he was actually a very naughty child, and he did not show any great ambitions, let alone any military leadership skills, eating and lazy, drinking and gambling money, etc. These were vividly expressed in him.
When the family was busy farming, Liu Bang not only did not help the family to do farm work, but also ran around the streets, made friends, and even often took his friends home to eat.
Liu Bang did not study well when he was in school, skipping classes every day, not doing his job all day, and the gentleman who taught often ran to his home to find him in order to catch him, so his father Liu Taigong did not teach him a lesson.
Because Liu Bang was the third oldest in the family and relatively young, his mother was indeed very spoiled and partial to him, and what mistakes he made, his mother never blamed him, for which his father often felt very distressed, afraid that Liu Bang would not learn well in the future and become a jerk.
For Liu Bang's various behaviors, Liu Taigong was very dissatisfied and worried, so he often compared him with his brothers, and often said Liu Bang in front of outsiders, saying that he did not have any interest, did not have a brain that would make money, and could not change his bad problems, and he would certainly not become a big deal when he grew up.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Liu Bang listened to his father's words, his heart was very unconvinced, he felt that his father looked down on him too much, just like this, he silently remembered his father's words in his heart, at that time did not refute anything, may be thinking of making some achievements for his father to see, wait until he has achieved something, see what his father still says.
The little belly chicken intestine loves to remember revenge
Later, after Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty and ascended the throne as emperor, at the celebration banquet, he asked his father Liu Taigong in front of many people how his ability was, could he compare with his two brothers, which made his father Liu Taigong dumbfounded for a while.
Obviously, Liu Bang asked this because his father said what he said, he was a response to his father's original words, and his father Liu Taigong, who was standing aside, could only stare wide-eyed and silent, while the group of ministers did not know the reason for Liu Bang's question, so they slapped their asses on the side.
From this point of view, Liu Bang still loves to remember revenge, but perhaps it is because his father's words of hatred for iron and steel at that time aroused Liu Bang's fighting spirit.
Liu Bang also happened to an incident when he was a child, which he always remembered. That is, once his father Liu Taigong secretly cooked dumplings at home, did not think about his wife and children, quietly ate in the kitchen, did not give a mouthful to their three brothers to stay, and it just so happened that this scene was seen by Liu Bang, who had just returned home, and since then he has also remembered this matter in his heart.
Because at that time, it was not an easy thing for his family to eat dumplings, and his father stole dumplings by himself, did not think about his family at all, and did not leave them at all, if Liu Bang had not happened to see it, he might not have known that his father had secretly eaten dumplings so selfishly.
After Liu Bang became emperor, this matter sprouted in his heart, and he always wanted to do something to "retaliate" for his father's behavior. Therefore, he gave his father this kind of "delicacy" every day, and ordered the kitchen to eat dumplings only for his father every day, and was not allowed to eat anything else.
At first it was fine, but there are normal people who can eat one meal a day, three meals a day, and finally his father Liu Taigong quickly couldn't stand it, and quickly came to Liu Bang to forgive, and also apologized specifically for his behavior that year, Liu Bang's childish behavior is actually the embodiment of the lack of love and security when he was a child.
In addition to this incident, there is another thing that also makes Liu Bang grumble, and it is also a manifestation of his love of revenge. When he was a child, Liu Bang's father disliked him for being idle, eating lazily, and sometimes not cooking for him.
In desperation, Liu Bang could only go to his brother's house to rub rice, his brother did not feel anything wrong with his brother's behavior, every time he went to prepare a lot of delicious food for him, he took good care of Liu Bang, his brother Liu Bo never said anything, but his sister-in-law was not happy, because Liu Bang not only went to dinner by himself, but also often took his friends to eat and drink.
Later, his brother Liu Bo died, leaving only his sister-in-law to live with the child, Liu Bang still did not shy away from suspicion, and took his friends to his sister-in-law's house for dinner. The life of the sister-in-law's family was already very difficult, which made Liu Bang's sister-in-law very distressed. Once, she saw liu bang coming with his friend from a distance, so she ran to the kitchen to scrape the bottom of the pot with a spoon, Liu Bang heard this voice, thought that her sister-in-law had already eaten, and asked her friend to go back first.
When he went to the window and saw the freshly served rice on the table, he never went to his sister-in-law's house to rub rice again, because he felt that his sister-in-law's behavior made him very faceless among his friends.
Later, after Liu Bang became emperor, he gave rewards to all the people around him, but he gave his nephew Liu an envelope of "Marquis of Tangjie", which means scraping the bottom of the pot with a spoon, and at the same time using this title to honor his sister-in-law's behavior.
Honorific title of father Taishang Emperor
Although Liu Bang was a small man and hated what his father had done to him, after all, blood was thicker than water, and it was not easy for his father to raise himself from childhood to adulthood, and Liu Bang also knew how much he could not support the table.
Now that he is the king of a country, he should be magnanimous, and he should be lenient, and he should punish his father or his sister-in-law a little.
As the emperor should be the role model of the world's people, at that time, I had just seen the collapse of the li, and the emperor should do a good job of demonstration, so Liu Bang did a very good job of kung fu on the surface, and he looked like a father and a filial piety to his father.
But after all, it was the king of a country, and he also had to perform the ritual of kneeling, and Liu Taigong could not stand it for a while, so the ceremonial officials around Liu Bang suggested that Liu Taigong be made the emperor of Taishang, so that he could bow down and worship reasonably.
Liu Taigong became the first Emperor Taishang in history not to be an emperor, which can also be described as a political tool and a manifestation of special treatment in special circumstances.
epilogue
Although Liu Bang had some "revenge" against his father Liu Taigong and nephew Liu Xin, he never made too much of a move, but only gave them a small warning of their behavior at the beginning, and still gave them preferential treatment and rewards afterwards.
No one is perfect, in front of the people closest to him, no one has a little temperament, we can't because of this small episode to wear out other important qualities of Han Gaozu Liu Bang, let alone erase the achievements he made.
