As the saying goes, one man attains enlightenment, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. Liu Bang had a hard time seizing the world and becoming the emperor, and those who had a good relationship with Liu Bang and Liu Bang naturally had a high status. However, Liu Bang was the founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, and he could not affect the stability of the entire country because of his selfish intentions.
Zhang Liang knew what kind of person Liu Bang was, and if Zhang Liang bluntly advised Liu Bang on merit and reward, this would only make Liu Bang feel dissatisfied. Therefore, Zhang Liang could only remind Liu Bang in another way, to give everyone an explanation on merit and reward, so as to calm everyone's dissatisfaction.
After Zhang Liang's analysis of the reward matter, Liu Bang understood the seriousness of the incident, so Liu Bang asked Zhang Liang for a solution. But Zhang Liang did not answer Liu Bang directly, but asked rhetorically: "Among these heroes, Your Majesty hates the most in this life, and the Qunchen know who the person Your Majesty hates the most?" ”
Liu Bang said, "Of course it is Yongya!" Does this still need to be said? Yongya insulted me many times, and even betrayed me, if it were not for the credit he had built, I would have killed him a long time ago. ”
Yongya and Liu Bang's fellow countrymen, Liu Bang has always been a prodigal son who does not do business in the eyes of everyone, and Yongya has always looked down on Liu Bang. After Liu Bang initially rebelled and captured Pei County, Yongya was forced to rely on Liu Bang due to the situation. However, Yongya's contempt for Liu Bang in his heart still did not decrease, and he was even more reluctant to submit to Liu Bang, and later Yongya also betrayed Liu Bang, which made Liu Bang always have a grudge against Yongya.
Later, yongya repeatedly made meritorious contributions after defecting to Liu Bang again, which allowed Liu Bang to keep him alive, but Liu Bang always hated Yongya.
Zhang Liang suggested that Liu Bang first seal the Yongya, so that the ministers would not have to worry about not getting the reward they deserved, and everyone would think that Liu Bang would even reward the Yongya that he hated, and naturally he would reward himself.
summary:
As the matter of Yongya being crowned marquis was determined, everyone put aside their previous worries, even Yongya was sealed, and he would not be too bad. Liu Bang also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, which not only calmed everyone's dissatisfaction and eased everyone's emotions, but also did not have to worry about this group of people rebelling and making trouble.
