China's history has a long history, in the long history of the emperor has always been a very important existence, as the supreme ruler of the country, they have their own superiority, but it is inevitable that there will be some special habits.
Liu Bang is a big man in history, and there are many stories about him, but in addition to the war that killed Qin and destroyed Chu, the most known to posterity is probably his "Yanshi".
Rogue Liu Bang bullied the son-in-law of a gentleman
As the victor of the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, Liu Bang naturally experienced many wars of all sizes, but after each siege of the city, he could not see his figure, and after the victory of the war, others were eager to declare to the world and enjoy the worship of the people. No, he was busy looking for flowers and asking Willow to go.
Liu Bang had a well-known problem, that is, lust, so later generations classified him as a "rogue emperor". And Liu Bang himself has a relatively thick skin, doing this kind of thing without concealment, and will not be ashamed to speak.
Although Liu Bang went around picking flowers and weeds, he was not an amorous person, on the contrary, he was very desperate many times, except for Lady Qi, he had no affection for other women. But he also caused an awkward relationship, starting with his son-in-law.
In 202 BC, Liu Bang's daughter Princess Luyuan married Zhang Ao, the King of Zhao, who was a polite gentleman who was also loyal to Liu Bang, often with a humble attitude, and the number of etiquette was in place.
Having such a son-in-law is Liu Bang's blessing, but I don't know whether it is because he is not accustomed to Zhang Ao's weakness, or whether the old man and son-in-law are naturally not right, Liu Bang has always disliked Zhang Ao.
In 200 BC, Liu Bang passed through the Zhao Kingdom and stopped by to see Zhang Ao's mansion. Zhang Ao was respectful to this old man, personally served, like a slave, his words and deeds were very decent, but Liu Bang was like a bandit, his behavior was very rude, he sat on the ground like a dustpan, stretched out his two feet, and scolded Zhang Ao in front of everyone, but Zhang Ao had no complaints.
Liu Bang's attitude toward Zhang Ao was so bad that Zhang Ao could bear it, but the other people around him could not swallow this breath.
Zhao Guoguo and Zhao Wu held a grudge against Liu Bang and proposed to Zhang Ao to kill Liu Bang, but Zhang Ao sternly refused, in his heart, Liu Bang was still the benefactor who saved their family.
Guan Gao and Zhao Wu no longer mentioned this matter on the surface, but secretly discussed with more than a dozen people to kill Liu Bang.
Liu Bang favored his son-in-law's beauty and left behind the dragon species
The following year, Liu Bang passed by Zhao Guo again, and Zhang Ao still tried to please Liu Bang, but Liu Bang was not moved.
In desperation, he dedicated a beauty in his palace, Zhao Ji, to Liu Bang, and finally had an appetite for Liu Bang.
After a night of affair, Liu Bang patted his ass and left, while Zhao Ji continued to stay in Zhang Ao's palace. Soon after, Zhao Ji found out that she was pregnant, and the child was naturally Liu Bang's.
After all, it was Zhang Ao who gave her to Liu Bang, not her secret affair, so she did not hide it and directly told Zhang Ao about it.
Zhang Ao knew that he did not dare to let Zhao Ji continue to live in the palace, so he built a palace room for her outside the palace for her to live in, and now that Zhao Ji was pregnant with the emperor's child, of course, he could not continue to raise her around, but he did not dare to be sloppy.
This time, Guan Gao also put the assassination of Liu Bang into action, he let the killers ambush in Bairen County, which Liu Bang would pass through on his way back, but Liu Bang really had a big fate, when he knew that the name of this county was called "Bai Ren", he thought it was very unlucky, which meant "being persecuted by others", so he did not stay here, and the killers ambushed a lonely.
Originally, the assassination operation that had ended before it had begun could have been exposed in one go, but there was no impermeable wall in the world, and the next year this matter was known to Guan Gao's enemies and reported to Liu Bang.
Liu Bang was furious and arrested Guan Gao, and as Guan Gao's master, Zhang Ao, his parents and concubines were also implicated and sent to prison, including Zhao Ji, who was pregnant with a dragon species.
Zhao Ji was in prison, and Liu Bang ignored him
Faced with the imprisonment of the prison guards, Zhao Ji quickly revealed that she had been favored by Liu Bang and was now pregnant with Liu Bang's child. After hearing this, the prison guards did not dare to be vague and immediately reported it to Liu Bang.
But Liu Bang was angry at the time, and he may also have doubts about this child, after all, Zhao Ji is not the only man, so for Zhao Ji's call for help, Liu Bang chose to turn a blind eye.
Zhao Ji saw that There was no hope on Liu Bang's side, and instead pleaded with Lü Hou, but this was undoubtedly a way to seek his own death, although it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines in ancient times, it was difficult for him to really accept sharing her husband with other women as a wife, not to mention that Lü Hou was notoriously jealous, and it was good not to harm her.
In the face of the "love enemy's" request for help, Lü Hou naturally ignored it and allowed Zhao Ji to fend for herself. Zhao Ji was probably humiliated and felt that life was hopeless, so she committed suicide after giving birth to a child in prison.
The jailer knew that this was Liu Bang's illegitimate son, and did not dare to be sloppy, so Zhao Ji gave the child to Liu Bang after his death.
After seeing the child, Liu Bang probably determined that it was his own child through appearance and time, so he regretted it, recognized the son, named him Liu Chang, and handed it over to Lü Yan to raise. Since it was Liu Bang who confessed, Lü Yan naturally did not dare to refute it.
Zhao Ji exchanged her own life for her son's life. Whether the child can survive in prison is not aside, after the release of the child's identity may not be recognized, even if the child is recognized, it may not be possible to recognize Zhao Ji, if Zhao Ji takes the child, Lü Hou is likely to attack this child.
Although Liu Bang looked remorseful, if he was given another chance, I am afraid that he would still meet death and not save.
It was disgraceful for a woman with her son-in-law to have a child, not to mention that he did not like this woman, but only used her as a tool to vent his desires, and now as long as the child did not want the child, the result saved him a lot of trouble.
Zhao Ji is just a tool for men from beginning to end, but she delusionally wants to be able to exchange their pity, which is also the sadness of ancient women, who always rely on men to live and cannot control their own destiny.
Although Lü Hou was criticized for her cruelty, as a woman, she was able to support a piece of heaven by her own ability, which was admirable.
Liu Bang, as the first emperor after the fall of the Qin state and the first emperor to make a difference after Qin Shi Huang, Mao Zedong commented that he was "the most powerful feudal emperor".
From a grass people to a generation of founding emperors, he also defeated Xiang Yu, who was born of nobility, but because of his lust, posterity had a mixed evaluation of Liu Bang, and even more negative evaluations.
After the siege, he did not immediately deal with the follow-up matters, but was busy solving his physiological needs, and it was also wonderful that Liu Bang could become emperor. However, because of this, Xiang Yu was able to let down his guard against Liu Bang in the early stage.
