As the saying goes: "A mistake becomes a thousand ancient hatreds." "Sometimes, a seemingly small move can leave a very serious result in the future.
Not only now, but also in the past history, there are also many people, just because of a small move, they are very far-sighted, bringing a lot of convenience to future generations, leaving a deep impact on future generations.
In history, after Liu Bang's death, Zhang Liang resigned to Lü Hou and prepared to leave, and at this time, Lü Hou cried to keep him, and it was this retention that bought the peace of his descendants for 2,000 years. Then why did Lü Hou want to keep Zhang Liang like this? What happened between Zhang Liang and Lü Hou? What kind of person is Zhang Liang?
This also begins with the detailed context of this period of history.
Lü Hou's personality
Lü Hou was actually originally named Lü Yan and was Liu Bang's original wife. It was also with the support of Lü Hou that Liu Bang was able to lay a foundation and successfully claim the throne.
At that time, Liu Bang was still an ordinary person, and Lü Yan's family status was very superior, the two were really not right, and after Liu Bang successfully married Lü Yan as his wife, he also successfully used Lü Yan's family connections and relationships, thus further realizing his ambitions and becoming a generation of emperors. At this time, Lü Yan became the empress.
Although Lü Yan is a woman, she is not a weak character. On the contrary, it can be said that Lü Yan is also a very powerful and resolute empress.
Politically, Lü Hou also made many contributions, for example, she advocated the policy of "resting with the people" and "ruling by doing nothing", and these practices later proved to be effective and made great contributions. At the same time, she also encouraged production, and advocated reducing land rent and reducing taxes, so it reduced a lot of people's pressure.
Moreover, Lü Yan is also very bold and fierce, as we all know, the ancient cruel punishment "Ren Yan" was actually invented by Lü Yan.
Just as Liu Bang's evaluation of Lü Yan was general: "Lü Hou is true and the lord is the lord." ”
It can be seen that although Lü Yan lived deep in the harem, in fact, he was not only in charge of the power of the harem, but also made many suggestions for the state and Liu Bang in politics.
Therefore, Lü Yan is actually not an ordinary woman, so why would such a prominent figure retain Zhang Liang so much?
Presumably, there must be a deeper reason, that is, it is still necessary to continue to analyze from Zhang Liang.
Seek saint Zhang Liang, a wonderful life
Zhang Liang's life can be said to be very tortuous, but at the same time it is wonderful.
Zhang Liang was actually born in a prestigious family at the beginning, and his father was very status. Later, after Zhang Liang grew up, his life also experienced a lot of ups and downs, which can be said to be very turbulent.
And he also met Liu Bang, after turning to Liu Bang, his life has improved, so that his strength and ambition can be displayed. And became the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty.
And Zhang Liang is actually a very capable and highly valued person by Liu Bang. Even Zhang Liang was later rated as the First Han Sanjie, it can be said that Zhang Liang has always been a loyal and good teacher in the Han Dynasty.
And Zhang Liang was also very humble, after The Han Gao ancestor Liu Bangding the capital Chang'an, to give rewards to the founding ministers, and at this time Zhang Liang, although he was the founding father, but he was very humble, many ministers at that time began to take this opportunity to grab merit and compete for some rewards, and Zhang Liang said at this time that he could be a marquis. Nor do I rush to buy land with others. In the face of fame, Zhang Liang has always maintained this humble attitude.
Especially later, when Zhang Liang found that Liu Bang began to be suspicious of the ministers around him, he also decisively chose to live in seclusion and no longer intervene in too many state affairs.
Therefore, it can be seen that Zhang Liang not only helped Liu Bang to open the country politically and militarily, made great contributions, and his ability was very strong, at the same time, he did not care about the reputation of the outside world, and was a reliable minister.
And it is also Zhang Liang's own advantages that led to the later death of Liu Bang, Lü Hou, such a tough and resolute woman, will also bitterly keep him from leaving.
Liu Bang died, keeping Zhang Liang
Later, Liu Bang ascended to the throne, and as the so-called emperor's children would always be caught up in power disputes, so would Liu Bang's sons.
At that time, because the position of prince of Lü Hou's son Liu Ying was threatened by the children of other concubines, in order to preserve the status of his children's crown prince. Lü Hou thought of Zhang Liang at this time.
At this time, Zhang Liang had been living in seclusion for a long time in order to be able to live a peaceful life and not be involved in disputes. On this day, Lü Hou, who had always been very brash, cried to him and asked him to help him find a way to keep Liu Ying's position as crown prince.
In fact, at the beginning, Zhang Liang did not want to participate in it anymore, but he was concerned about the country, knowing that Liu Ying was actually benevolent and kind, and he had the ability to become a good monarch in the future, so he was considering the future of the country and agreed to Lü Hou's request.
In this way, Zhang Liang advised Lü Hou and eventually helped Lü Hou retain the position of crown prince.
After Liu Bang died of illness shortly after, Liu Ying ascended the throne as crown prince. At this time, Lü Hou was very grateful to Zhang Liang, so he wanted to promote Zhang Liang. However, at this time, Zhang Liang once again chose to refuse, because he understood that Lü Hou was actually not an idle person, and if he was in a position of power again, in fact, one day he would still be suspected, thus provoking the disaster of killing himself.
Therefore, it was precisely because of Lü Hou's bitter request to Zhang Liang at that time that her son succeeded to the throne smoothly, and her own status and the life of her descendants were also able to be prosperous and rich.
The reason why Lü Hou did not hesitate to ask Zhang Liang was actually because Zhang Liang was indeed a very capable strategist and a person of high moral standing.
epilogue
Through the analysis of Zhang Liang's ability and Lü Hou's personality, it is presumably possible to understand why a request by Lü Hou can be exchanged for the stability and peace of his descendants for 2,000 years. After all, in the society where the mother relied on the child at that time, if Liu Ying failed to become emperor, in fact, Lü Hou would lose her status and rights.
As the saying goes, "Gold shines wherever it goes." And Zhang Liang is actually the best proof.
Being able to experience so many ups and downs, but still persevering and not giving up, and finally succeeding in becoming a generation of famous strategists, and being reused by Liu Bang, and at the same time becoming the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty, can actually prove that he is really a very capable and capable person, and has a strong political vision and ambition
The reason why she was able to make such a resolute woman bend over backwards to request after Lü Hou could also be seen that Zhang Liang's ability and status were actually very high.
As the saying goes: "History is actually to leave a lesson for future generations." So, take history as a mirror. At present, while commemorating Zhang Liang, people must also understand that learning from Zhang Liang's spirit, being able to do not scramble and do a good job is the greatest success.
