During the Three Kingdoms period, the Cao Wei thinker Ruan Zhi once climbed to Guangwu City to see the ruins of the war between Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, and Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, and sighed: "There is no hero at the time, which makes Shuzi famous." "The shaft here is more or less Liu Bang. Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, was not only known as "emperor", but also "rogue", which was combined into one and called "rogue emperor". So, how rogue is Liu Bang?
Stills of Liu Bang
The so-called "hooligans", the first explanation given by Baidu is "not doing the right thing", followed by "people who often pick quarrels and make trouble, and have low cultural quality", and also refer to some people who have "bad and popular behavior", including "ideological hooligans".
If you compare Liu Bang from these points, then the early Liu Bang is indeed worthy of the word "hooligan", because Liu Bang basically did it at this point. The "History of Gaozu Benji" also records this:
"Gao Zu is a man, Long Zhun and Long Yan, beautiful beard, and seventy-two sunspots on the left side. Benevolent and loving, joyful, open-minded. Often generous, not family production work. And strong, try to be an official, for the Surabaya pavilion chief, the court official is all-encompassing insults, good wine and color. ”
When Liu Bang was young, he was lazy and lazy, idle, did not produce, provoked wrongdoing, and often fooled around with a widow surnamed Cao, giving birth to Liu Fei, the eldest son of Shu. Liu Bang is good at wine, but what if he has no money? Eat white food! The Chronicle of History contains:
"Often from Wang Mi and Wu to drunkenness, drunken lying down, these two families often fold coupons and abandon their responsibilities."
Liu Bang often went to the restaurant to drink big wine, and did not give money, only white strips.
Whether ancient or modern, "playing a white strip for the purpose of not giving money" is a hooligan
！
Liu Bang ate white food because he was good at "playing white strips", and as a result, he also ate a "bully pro". The rich man Lü Taigong caused trouble and came to Pei County to avoid disasters, and the foreign Lü Gong naturally had to set up a field and get acquainted with local celebrities. In ancient times, eating was exquisite, and Lü Gong set the rules:
"Enter less than a thousand dollars, sit down in the hall."
It means that with less than a thousand dollars, sit outside the hall.
Liu Bang, who likes to eat white food, naturally could not let go of this opportunity, and casually shouted: "He Qianwan" (naturally"hit the white strip"), and sat there eating and drinking, typical of hooligans doing pie. Who knew that Lü Gong was also a strange person, not only did not accuse Liu Bang of playing hooligans to eat white food, but thought that Liu Bang dared to play hooligans here, presumably he had some skills, and it was certainly not wrong to recruit him as a son-in-law, and even gave his daughter Lü Yan to Liu Bang on the spot. Eating white food and picking up a daughter-in-law, Liu Bang's mouth was crooked with a smile.
Finally, the tide of the late Qin uprising came, and Liu Bei followed the trend and raised an army. The chaotic world is actually a group of hooligans grabbing territory, in order to achieve the goal, they are all six relatives who do not recognize. In the end, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, a cattle man who had not been encountered in a hundred years, did it, but Liu Bang was not Xiang Yu's opponent most of the time, and was often beaten to run. "Chu rode after the King of Han, and the King of Han was anxious, pushing Xiao Hui and Lu Yuan under the car, and Teng Gong often took it." If so, three. ”
In order to escape, Liu Bang did not care whether his children were dead or alive, and directly threw them out of the car. If it weren't for the driver Xiahou Bao's intolerance, the "third such person" got off the bus to pick up the "baggage", Xiao Hui and Lu Yuan would have died in the chaos soldiers long ago. Not only children, when necessary, Dad is also completely unnecessary.
Chu and Han were deadlocked, Xiang Yu's army was short of food, and wanted to make a quick decision, so he grabbed Liu Bang's father, Old Man Liu, and set up a cauldron.
"Put Taigong on top of it, and tell the King of Han: Don't be in a hurry today, I cook Taigong."
Xiang Yu is a naked hooligan, fighting a war to blackmail people's fathers, what kind of good man is it?
But Xiang Yu did not expect it, and Liu Bang replied:
"I and Xiang Yu jubei were appointed to the king of Huai, and I am about a brother, and if I want to cook it, I will be lucky to share a spoon with me."
I married you as a brother in front of King Huai, my father is your father, if you cook him, remember to share a piece of my pie! Hooligans play to this extent, probably unprecedented, no one after! Playing rogue with Liu Bang, Xiang Yu was simply a banmen axe.
Xiang Yu stills
"Those who crown the Confucian crown of all guests, Pei Gong will untie his crown and drown in it." Liu Bang, who did not like Confucianism, took off the Confucian hat and peed on it. For the Confucian students at that time, this hat was their hairstyle, and it was integrity. "The head can be broken, and the hairstyle should not be messed up." After being insulted, the Confucians were naturally angry, and they hyped up Liu Bang's various hooligan behaviors, and Liu Bang's "hooligan" image naturally remained in the annals of history, and his name has gone down through the ages.
In fact, in a chaotic world, if you want to plot against the country, you are indispensable to conspiracies and tricks, and your heart is fierce. Liu Bang was born in the city, naturally well versed in this way, his "hooligan" behavior, vividly showed the fierceness and shamelessness of politicians, but on the other hand, Liu Bang also knew that small places can "play rogues", and some key nodes can also "play hooligans", but the general direction must not be wrong.
For example, Liu Bang invaded Guanzhong, was able to control his desires and hobbies, did not loot finances, did not dominate women, and was very kind to the people. On the other hand, Xiang Yu directly pursued the three-light policy of "killing the light, robbing the light, and burning the light", which disappointed the people.
A person's success is not accidental. If Liu Bang is really a "hooligan" through and through, how can he gather the world's Haojie for his use? Who in the world wants to be with "hooligans"? How could the "rogues" defeat Xiang Yu and defeat many hostile forces and establish the Great Han Dynasty?
A fierce and shameless politician, a military expert by any means, this is the real Liu Bang.
