Is Liu Bang a "Rogue Emperor"?
According to Sima Qian's records in the "Records of History", it seems that he is a typical rogue emperor. If we don't say anything else, we can see that his quality is not high at all.
Let's talk about a small matter, Liu Bangyi believes that fighting the world depends on force, and he looks down on Confucianism. Look down on Confucianism, he actually humiliated Confucianism.
How did he humiliate him?
After seeing Ru Sheng, he took off the hat he was wearing on his head and peed on it. You said it was a bit of a rogue.
Of course, these were all things that Liu Bang had done before he became emperor. After becoming emperor, he found that only the assistant of Confucianism could govern the world.
Therefore, later he began to attach importance to Confucianism.
Since he is a rogue emperor, of course, the rogue things that Liu Bang has done are not only this one, let's take stock of what rogue things he has done.
Filial piety to the father
Liu Bang's father was Liu Taigong, and when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were fighting for world domination, Xiang Yu captured Liu Bang's father and Lü Hou and made them hostage.
During the confrontation between Guangwu and Wu, Xiang Yu threatened Liu Bang that if Liu Bang did not surrender Xiang Yu, he would cook Liu Bang's father.
After saying these Xiang Yu, he let his subordinates set up a pot, and the water was boiled, just waiting for Liu Bang to reply? I didn't expect him to wait, which made him angry to death.
Liu Bang said that we are brothers, my father is your father, if your father is cooked, don't forget to share a piece of the soup for me to taste.
Xiang Yu was so angry that he really wanted to cook Taigong, but it was Xiang Bo who dissuaded Xiang Yu and left Taigong's life.
Liu Bang wants to win the world, there is no family affection in front of them, don't say kill Taigong, even if you kill his whole family, as long as he can live.
Such a Liu Bang is definitely not filial piety to his father, and he is brushing hooligans.
Not responsible for children
During the Battle of Pengcheng, Xiang Yu defeated Liu Bang's 560,000 troops with 30,000 cavalry. While fleeing, Liu Bang met his son and daughter on the run.
The driver, Xiahou Bao, took his son Liu Ying and his daughter Princess Lu Yuan into the car and fled for their lives. However, at this time, Xiang Yu's general was still chasing Liu Bang.
With two more people in the car, the horse couldn't run fast.
Liu Bang saw that he was about to be chased by the enemy, so he threw his children out of the car, or repeatedly threw them three times, all three times were saved by Xiahou Baby, and Liu Bang also wanted to kill the driver Xiahou Baby.
Fortunately, in the end, they were all caught up by Xiang Yu's general, but this Xiang Yu's general was not responsible, and he released Liu Bang again, you said that Such a Liu Bang was not worried about the child's life at all, is not a rogue.
Still in that sentence, Liu Bang's life is the most precious.
Not responsible for women
There are many women in Liu Bang, but none of them are responsible for others.
His first woman was a widow, who bore Liu Bang her first child, the eldest son, Liu Fei. In the end what happened to the widow, it is not clear.
Liu Bang's second woman, lü hou.
Not long after the two of them were together, Liu Bang revolted, and since then Lü Hou has been like a widow, Liu Bang and Lü Hou have been separated for seven years, and when they meet again, Liu Bang is already the emperor, at this time Liu Bang's women around him are innumerable, and Lü Hou is even less likely to be favored.
Liu Bang favored Bo Ji, but only spoiled the people once, and never found anyone else again, and this Bo Ji gave birth to the later Han Wen Emperor Liu Heng.
Liu Bang spoiled Lady Qi and loved Lady Qi the most, but Lady Qi's death was the most tragic, and after Liu Bang's death, he was made into a human figure by Lü Hou.
Liu Bang was aware of the contradiction between Lady Qi and Empress Lü, and he could have protected Lady Qi, but he did not take any measures to protect Lady Qi.
With Liu Bang's ability, as long as he thinks, he can definitely save Lady Qi's life. However, he did not do so.
Liu Bang spoiled Zhao Ji at the home of his son-in-law Zhang Ao, and after this Zhao Ji became pregnant, she was imprisoned, and Zhao Ji felt that she was greatly humiliated.
After she gave birth to Liu Bang's son Liu Changlai, she committed suicide.
It can be said that Liu Bang is not responsible for all women. Is such a Liu Bang a rogue emperor?
Write at the end
In fact, Liu Bang was still a good emperor, otherwise how could a peasant become an emperor?
This shows that Liu Bang has many advantages, everyone has some shortcomings, many shortcomings are actually said to be negligible, for people like Liu Bang, as long as he governs the country well, this is his greatest credit, as for the little thing at home, it really does not matter.
