Recently, I have seen people asking questions one after another: whose son Emperor Wendi of Han is, whether Emperor Wendi of Han is the son of King Bao of Wei, and so on, and I don't know who threw this topic out first. Comparing the "Shi Ji" and the "Book of Han", I guess that the initiator may have one-sidedly understood the contents of the "Book of Han" and ignored the "Shi Ji". It really shouldn't be. After careful analysis and comparison of these two history books, this problem can actually be ignored.
However, after throwing out this question, it is estimated that the author's reading volume is a creeping upwards.
The Book of Han and the Biography of Foreign Relatives records the following:
The leopard is dead, the King of Han enters the weaving room, sees Bo Ji, has a harem within the zhao, and is not fortunate for the rest of the year.
When Shi Ji was young, she fell in love with Lady Guan and Zhao Zi'er, and said: "First gui do not forget each other!" "Lady Guan and Zhao Zi'er were the first to be the King of Han." The King of Han for four years, sitting in Henan Chenggao Lingtai, these two beautiful people served, and xiao Bo Ji made an appointment at the beginning. The King of Han asked him why, and both of them told him the truth. The King of Han (Liu Bang) pitied Bo Ji in his heart, and was summoned by the day, hoping to be lucky. "Yesterday Twilight Dream Dragon held a concubine's chest." Shang: "It is Gui Zhengye, and I am Ru Chengzhi." "Lucky, I have a body." Emperor Wen was born in the middle of the year, and became the acting king at the age of eight.
However, the "History of foreign relatives" records not much the same
The leopard is dead, the King of Han enters the weaving room, sees Bo Ji colored, and the harem inside the zhao, and the years are not lucky
When Shi Ji was young, she fell in love with Lady Guan and Zhao Zi'er, and said: "First gui did not forget each other. "Lady Guan and Zhao Zi'er were the First Lucky King of Han." The King of Han sat on the Chenggao Terrace of the Henan Palace, and these two beauties met with Xiao Boji at the beginning of the time. When the King of Han heard this and asked him why, the two of them told the King of Han (Liu Bang) that the King of Han was miserable and pitied Bo Ji, and was fortunate to be summoned by the day. Bo Ji said, "Last night the concubine dreamed of the dragon according to my belly." Emperor Gao said, "This noble sign is also, I am a daughter to become a woman." "Ichiyuki gave birth to a man who is for the acting king."
The "History" and the "Book of Han" have one thing in common, that is, after the death of Wei Wangbao, empress Dowager Bo was not favored, there was no sign of pregnancy, let alone giving birth to children. That is to say, Emperor Wen of Han would not be a descendant of the Wei King Leopard.
Then there is the content behind, the history and the Book of Han are not the same. The Book of Han records that it was the King of Han who was fortunate to have Empress Bo in the fourth year, and that emperor Wen of Han was born in the middle of that year. The chronicles are not recorded at this time.
Sima Qian was closer to Emperor Wen of Han, and if there was such lace news, Sima Qian should not have fallen. It is not the turn of the Bangu record of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It may be that Bangu mistakenly wrote the end of the year as the middle of the year.
Besides, with the personality of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, if anyone brought him such a big green hat, how could he not pay attention to it? Besides, after Zhu Lu was destroyed, those ministers were not fools, how could they meet an emperor who was not the blood of Gao Zu? At that time, after the death of Emperor Hui of Han, there were two young emperors, and Zhou Bo killed them on the grounds that they were not descendants of the Liu clan, which showed that they would still attach great importance to this issue. After Zhu Lü was destroyed, Liu Bang's sons, in addition to Emperor Wen of Han, also had Liu Chang, the king of Huainan, alive, and emperor Wen of Han was not the only one who was chosen.
Therefore, do not doubt Emperor Wen of Han because of a little misunderstanding in the Book of Han. It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!
Of course, some people will throw out: Liu Bang's wife Lü Hou also gave Liu Bang a green hat, in fact, Lü Hou and the judge (yi) and his (ji) are only master-servant relationships, which is purely a conjecture of the descendants' ill will. The history books do not hint at all.
