Each of us will dream, we will encounter all kinds of strange things in our dreams, and when we wake up, it is an emptiness after all, and we will rarely encounter things that happen when dreams shine into reality. However, as early as two thousand years ago, there was a woman who met a dragon in a dream, woke up and became pregnant shortly after waking up, and gave birth to the Emperor of the Ages.
In the last years of the Warring States period, in Zhongyangli, Fengyi (present-day Feng County, Jiangsu), there was an ordinary couple, the man was called Liu Taigong, and the woman was Liu Mi. On a stormy night, Liu Mi had a very strange dream in which she met a dragon. What was even more surprising was that his husband, Liu Taigong, saw the dragon lying on his wife, and was immediately frightened and stupid, and he couldn't shout out if he wanted to, and he didn't dare to attack the dragon, so he could only wait silently for it to leave.
After half an hour or so, the dragon took off into the air, and disappeared into Liu Taigong's sight. At this time, Liu Mi also woke up from the dream, saw her husband's pale face, and asked him what had happened. Liu Taigong told his wife Liu Mi everything he saw, and to his shock, it was exactly the same as the scene in Liu Mi's dream, the two could not sleep for a long time, and had been recalling the terrible scene just now.
Soon after, Liu Mibian became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy ten months later, who was the later Han Gaozu Liu Bang. In the historian Sima Qian's "Records of History", there is a clear record: "Liu Mi tasted the pit of Daze, and dreamed and met with god." When the thunder and lightning are obscure, the prince looks at it, and sees the dragon on it. Already in the flesh, he gave birth to a high ancestor. ”
When he was a teenager, Liu Bang often helped the grandfather carry water and helped the grandmother cross the road, and the reputation among the neighbors was quite good. However, since Liu Bang became an adult, it was like a changed person, neither like reading, nor willing to work in the field, idle all day, not doing the right thing, not only the neighbors were tired of him, even his father Liu Taigong thought he was a "scoundrel". It is precisely because of this that within a hundred miles, no one is willing to marry their daughter to Liu Bang, and when she is in her 40s, she is still a bare stick.
Later, without knowing what means were used, Liu Bang became the chief of the Surabaya Pavilion in Pei County, and if there were no accidents, Liu Bang's career would stop here. Perhaps it was destined that shortly after the death of Qin Shi Huang, the Chen Sheng WuGuang Rebellion broke out, and xiang Liang also led Jiangdong's disciples against Qin. Liu Bang, who had great ambitions, saw his own opportunity, and with a group of people, he killed the county order of Pei County, and was elected as the "Pei Gong" by everyone, winning the "first bucket of gold" in his life, and also opening the door to the imperial power for himself. Eventually, with the assistance of Zhang Liang, Han Xin, and Xiao He, Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty.
The famous British historian Joseph. Tang Enbi once said of Liu Bang: "The two most far-sighted and most influential political figures in human history are Caesar, who founded the Roman Empire, and Liu Bang, the ancestor of han who founded the Han civilization. Caesar was assassinated without witnessing the establishment of the Roman Empire and the rise of civilization, but Liu Bang personally created a prosperous period and opened a new era for human history with his visionary leadership! ”
If five emperors are selected from the history of our country, they will be successfully selected because of the influence of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, on the course of history. If only one emperor can be selected, it can only be Qin Shi Huang, what do you think?
