As a Chinese, it is inevitable that the mentality of Jackie Chan will be expected, who does not want their children to develop well and live happily? However, children are too capable, often it will make people more embarrassed, if one day your son becomes the emperor, as a commoner, how should you face it? For modern people, there may not be this trouble, because Lao Tzu is bigger than heaven, even if your boy becomes emperor, what can you do? Dare to turn the sky upside down!
But the ancients were different, because the feudal etiquette method emphasized the "Heaven and Earth Emperor and The Master", look at it, this king is in front of the pro, according to the etiquette, as long as your son becomes the emperor, even if you are his father, you must kneel down and prostrate, unless you yourself are too emperor! Fortunately, this embarrassing scene is also rare, and the fathers of most of the founding fathers have long passed away, and the emperor who inherits the throne will not have such troubles.
However, there is no absolute, there is really such a person in Chinese history, who has been a commoner all his life, but his son has become an emperor, and this person is the father of Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Liu Taigong, whose original name was Liu Tang, had been a farmer in Pei County all his life, and he was particularly unsightly at his son Liu Bang's idle hands all day, but no matter how much he scolded and educated, he did not improve, and finally had to angrily call him a scooter!
To the surprise, this former scoundrel finally became the emperor. After Liu Bang became emperor, he naturally felt that he was raised and angry, so he took his father Liu Taigong to his side to do filial piety, and every five days he had to visit and meet him, thinking that he would set an example for the world. However, Liu Bang was only a rogue and did not pay much attention to etiquette, so he did not make Liu Taigong emperor for some time.
This made Liu Taigong feel very embarrassed, because although Liu Taigong was from a peasant background, he still had some understanding of the great righteousness of "'Heaven and Earth Emperor's Master'", and when his son became emperor, did he also have to kneel down to meet him? But Lao Tzu knelt down to worship his son, and some of them didn't make sense, so every time Liu Bang had been there, he had hurried to hide. The number of times was more, which aroused Liu Bang's suspicions, so he asked his family why. Liu Taigong's family order said to him: ''There is no two days in the sky, there is no two lords in the earth, and although Taigong is your father, he is also your courtier, so how can you, the emperor, come to see your courtiers?' ''
After hearing this, Liu Bang suddenly realized, so he hurriedly honored Liu Taigong as the Emperor Taishang, which saved Liu Taigong's embarrassment. There are 26 Taishang emperors in Chinese history, and Liu Taigong is the only one who has not been an emperor, so this embarrassing thing will happen in ancient times when the number of etiquette is valued, while other Taishang emperors do not have such troubles.
