Legend has it that when chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, there was a battle that was extremely fierce, the Han army was defeated by the Chu army, almost the entire army was destroyed, Liu Bang was almost captured alive by Xiang Yu, relying on a crab snake to escape the disaster.
At that time, Liu Bang was besieged by the Chu army, and his subordinates fought with their lives to cover his breakthrough, and one person escaped from the encirclement, but the Chu army was still in hot pursuit behind.
Liu Bang fled for his life in the front, Xiang Yu led a large army to pursue in the rear, Liu Bang ran across thirty-six great rivers, escaped seventy-two Pingchuan, and finally had no escape, and drilled into a high mountain.
When Liu Bang fled to the edge of a cliff, he was exhausted, but the pursuing soldiers were getting closer and closer to him, and he could even hear the sound of the soldiers talking.
At this time, there were only two roads in front of him, one was to jump off the cliff and resign himself to fate, and the other was to stay where he was, waiting to be discovered by Xiang Yu. Obviously, both roads are dead ends, and the chances of wanting to survive are almost non-existent.
Suddenly, Liu Bang's eyes lit up and he saw the third way, and there was an imperceptible cave hidden in the grass on his right side, and he hurriedly hid in the cave.
When Liu Bang entered the cave, a golden light was transient, and Liu Bang himself did not notice it. However, this strange golden light awakened a crab snake cultivating in the cave.
Crab snake a look, this is the golden light of the emperor star, this person will definitely become the emperor in the future, today's difficulty here I must help him, the future will also have a period of opportunity.
Xiang Yu also rushed to the edge of the cliff with a large number of people and horses, and liu Bang's figure could not be seen, and Xiang Yu ordered that the people should also be found out by digging three feet into the ground. Everyone immediately scattered, searched the grassy rock wall, and finally found the cave.
Liu Bang, who was hiding in the cave, had already held his breath, afraid that if he made a little noise, he would be discovered, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer to the cave, his heart mentioned the throat eyes, and the hand holding the sword was slightly sweating, ready to attack.
Xiang Yu and his four retinue wanted to go into the cave to capture Liu Bang alive, and Xiang Yu thought to himself: Liu Bang either fell off a cliff and died, or he hid in this cave, and when he went in to see what was going on, he would know what was going on, and this world would soon be my Xiang Yu's world.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Yu's foot was bitten by a crab snake as soon as he stepped into the cave, and his entourage rushed up to check the injury and took out snake medicine to heal the wound. After some processing, the crowd could not care less about searching the cave.
Xiang Yu thought to himself: There is a snake gate at the mouth of the cave, this cave must not be able to hide people, Liu Bang must have fallen off a cliff and died. Therefore, the order was given to collect troops.
Liu Bang Xuanzhi escaped the disaster again and again, staying in the cave for a day and a night and did not dare to come out, expecting that Xiang Yu had already gone far, and then carefully climbed out of the cave.
At this time, a white light flashed, and a crab-faced snake-like monster appeared in front of Liu Bang, constantly nodding his head. Liu Bang understood that the other party had saved his life, and quickly returned the salute, saying: "Today you saved me, and if I ascend the throne as emperor on the day, I will definitely give you a reward." ”
The crab snake was very happy, how honored it was to be able to marry the emperor, escorted Liu Bang all the way down the mountain, watched Liu Bang leave safely before returning to the cave house, thinking about what reward he would ask for one day.
All this happened, but it was overheard by a rape flower snake hiding in the shadows to cultivate, and a thought sounded in the heart of the rape flower snake, hehe, how can such a good thing be missed.
Later, Liu Bang really defeated Xiang Yu, unified the world and established the Han Dynasty, and ascended to the throne.
The cunning rape flower snake has been paying attention to the situation in the world since Liu Bang left, and when he learned that Liu Bang had become emperor, he hurried to the capital and asked for a reward.
One day, Liu Bang was ascending the temple, and an official in the audience suddenly lost his voice and screamed, and Liu Bang asked, "What is so alarming?" ”
The official pointed to the floor and said in a trembling voice, "Emperor, there is a snake under the jade steps prostrating its head on pilgrimage." ”
Liu Bang lowered his head to read the folds, did not look up, heard the snake word, and suddenly remembered that he had been saved by the crab snake before, so he raised his pen to write a "king" and ordered the official to take it and paste it on the snake's head. In this way, the rape flower snake successfully took credit and became the "snake king" of the world.
It is said that the crab snake side still hides in the cave every day to cultivate, and when it wants to go out to listen to the news, it finds that Liu Bang has already ascended the throne as emperor for a long time.
The crab snake also hurried to the capital to ask Liu Bang for a reward, and when he saw Liu Bang, he was also in the ascension hall, and the official reported to Liu Bang, and another snake kowtowed at His Highness.
This time, Liu Bang felt a little surprised, so he looked up at the crab snake and said, "You have already sealed the 'king', why do you come again?" ”
When the crab snake heard this, he was stunned and replied, "Your Majesty, I have never been here, so why should I seal the king's words?" ”
Liu Bang said, "If you are a golden mouth and a jade word, you will not be deceived." Quickly retreat. ”
The crab snake was angry and choked back: "Don't you want to say it without faith, and the reward you promised to give me will not be given to me." If so, don't blame me for biting people when I see them, whether good or evil. ”
"Bold, the beast hugh is wanton. Since you want to beg for a reward, give it to you. Liu Bang said sharply. After saying that, he wrote the word "blind eye" with a pen.
The crab snake thought that his harsh words had worked, this was a reward given to him by Liu Bang, and he quickly took the kowtow to Xie En, and happily shook the snake's tail and went back. Who knows, just after returning to the cave house, the crab snake's eyes could not see.
This can frighten the crab snake, if the eyes are blind, how to hunt in the future, then must not starve to death. The crab snake calmed down, thought about it, and understood that it was his own words that offended Liu Bang, and if he wanted to live, he could only ask Liu Bang to spare his life.
Reluctantly, the crab snake took some treasures, found Xiao He, the minister, and begged Xiao He to say something good in front of Liu Bang. Liu Bangnian's life-saving grace in that year left a way for the crab snake to live, so that it could open its eyes once a day at three o'clock in the afternoon.
The poor crab snake was punished for taking a slow step, not only did not receive a reward, but also because he could not speak to offend Liu Bang. The rape flower snake relies on the merits of the impersonation, and still has the word "king" on its head that was deceived.
Write at the end:
The story is adapted from "Folk Tales", the plot has been slightly changed!
In the story, the crab snake learned in advance that Liu Bang would become emperor in the future, and saved his life, and Liu Bang, out of gratitude, promised to give him a reward after becoming emperor. The secret matter allowed the rape flower snake to know in secret, and also gave it the opportunity to take advantage of the credit.
Liu Bang indiscriminately gave the reward to the rape flower snake, resulting in the crab snake not receiving the reward later, and out of indignation, he said some angry words, and was also punished by Liu Bang.
This scene is very much like the deceit in the workplace, the hard work to the end of the credit is someone else's, has nothing to do with themselves, and there is no credit or even hard work.
Therefore, everything should be careful and cautious, and should not be careless.
