Since ancient times, Liu Bang has often been called the Little Bastard Emperor. He was born a farmer, but he was able to create the Han Dynasty for more than four hundred years, and he also became the founder of han culture of the Han people. Many people in history are not convinced, how can a small asshole-like person be mixed with the emperor.
Sima Qian, a historian of the Han Dynasty, also had a bad evaluation of the founding emperor when he wrote the history. When he mentioned Liu Bang at the beginning, he bluntly said that Liu Bang had always been an alcoholic from his youth to the back.
Liu Bang's father also talked about him very much, and before he was 40 years old before he participated in the anti-Qin uprising, he often criticized him, did not love to work, did not do the right thing, and often wandered in society.
When Liu Bang was young, the degree of in society may even far exceed his father's ideas. In the place where Liu Bang lived, there were two taverns at that time, which were opened by people named Wang Mi and Wu Negative, and Liu Bang frequented them.
Liu Bang, who was drunk to death, drank with his drinkers from morning to night all day. Not to mention, almost every time after drinking they said that they had no money, and they would give it next time at the checkout. When the shopkeeper urged him to repay the loan, he played with the brothers.
In this way, he and the little gangsters did not pay for the wine for almost a whole year. The store's heart ached. By the end of the year, the shopkeeper counted the arrears, and the arrears owed by Liu Bang and his brothers were already 365 days, a whole year.
In the end, not only did the money not get it, but even the bamboo ledger was destroyed under threat. As a result, all the money owed for alcohol is not given. This is Liu Bang, an alcoholic little bastard.
Of course, after Liu Bang became emperor, his descendants whitewashed his story. He said that he was in a tavern and did not give money for drinking, not because he was playing tricks. Rather, it was because after he was drunk, a dragon appeared on his back. That's why the store doesn't have to give it to him.
And because he was drunk, the appearance of this dragon made people outside come to see it, and finally the business of the tavern was good, so the store did not need Liu Bang to give wine money. The shopkeepers are getting rich.
Therefore, the money that Liu Bang and the brethren owed for a year was finally torn up and destroyed. Therefore, when a person becomes an emperor, there are some people who do their best to whitewash the peace and say that the things of the rogues and the things of the are sacred things.
When sima Qian, a historian of the Han Dynasty, faced with the founding emperor when he was writing the "History of History", he also intentionally or unintentionally had to make up myths and stories at his birth. On Liu Bang's birth, Sima Qian said this:
Liu Bang is not his father's son, not a man and life, but a dragon, and his mother Liu Mi, met on the bank of the river to have Liu Bang. Once, when Liu Mi was doing farm work by the river, a huge dragon rose from the river and pounced directly on Liu Mi. Liu Mi lay down groggily. Jiaolong and Liu Mi gave birth to Liu Bang in this way.
In Sima Qian's pen, Liu Bang was born to become emperor. Sima Qian's "Records of History" is also a precedent for opening the myth of the emperor. Later founding emperors liked to adopt similar mythological patterns.
Let's talk about Liu Bang's drunken troubles. Once, Liu Bang's hometown of Pei County held a large banquet. There is a distinguished guest from abroad, named Lü Gong, who is friends with the county order of Pei County. Lü Gonghe and the county order held this banquet.
Hao Jie and officials in Pei County attended the banquet one after another. The banquet stipulates that if the gift is less than a thousand dollars, it will be seated in the hall. Gifts of more than a thousand dollars are served in the hall. And Liu Bang, just like drinking in the tavern before, did not bring any money.
What does he do? He brought a note that read: "Ten thousand yuan." Then he went straight into the hall to feast. Lü Gong was the father of Liu Bang's wife Lü Hou. He was a man of good looks. He saw that Liu Bang looked handsome, handsome, and had a very good appearance, so he let Liu Bang come to the hall to drink.
Liu Bang sat with Hao Jie, Lü Gong, and Peixian County Ling, and at this time, his small personality was coupled with his drunkenness, so he casually teased and insulted the small officials under the hall.
Xiao He, an official of Pei County, came over and said to Lü Gong: Liu Bang usually drinks well, and he likes to talk big and brag, and there are very few things he can do. Lü Gong said: I have been giving people a picture since I was a child, and there are many people who have seen the picture, Liu Bang looks grand and handsome, I have not seen such a look, he will be a person who will become a big thing in the future.
At the banquet, Lü Gong said on the spot that he would marry his daughter Lü Hou to Liu Bang as his wife who held a broom. And Lü Hou's mother, Lü Miao, saw Liu Bang, who was drunk and drunk and did not bring wine money to congratulate him, she was angry.
She said: "You always think that this daughter looks unusual, and you want to marry her to a noble person. The county order of Pei County is friendly with you, you did not give his daughter to him when he came to propose marriage, why did you blindly marry your daughter to this person? ”
Lü Gong replied, "This matter is not something that your women's family can know." ”
So Liu Bang, a drunkard who was often drunk and idle, got a beautiful wife by virtue of a handsome and handsome image, and met Bole Lügong.
After Liu Bang's big marriage, he was already an official in Pei County at that time. Peixian County, who wanted to marry Lü but did not marry him, gave Liu Bang a heavy responsibility, saying that he hoped that he would make great achievements and become rich in the future.
At that time, the ruler of China, Qin Shi Huang, wanted to build a huge Lishan tomb and recruit disciples from all over the country. PeiXian also organized some disciples to repair the tomb. At this time, this heavy responsibility of Pei County was arranged to Liu Bang, the chief of the pavilion. Liu Bang wanted to lead his disciples to repair the tomb.
In the twelfth year of Qin Shi Huang, Liu Bang led his disciples to Lishan Mountain, thousands of miles away, to repair the tomb. The procession departed from Pei County, Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, to Xi'an, Shaanxi. Spanning the entire east and west of China, it seems to be a distance of nearly a thousand kilometers today. This was a huge and arduous task in ancient times.
In the era of Qin Shi Huang, those who did such a big project were recruited not only from Jiangsu to Xi'an, but even as far north and south as China. Therefore, in the era of Qin Shi Huang, it was high-pressure rule, severe punishment, and tyrannical oppression. All this led to the peasant revolt that followed.
Liu Bang, who was an alcoholic, led the team from Pei County, Jiangsu Province, in eastern China, all the way to Lishan Mountain in Shaanxi In the west. Because of Liu Bang's good drunkenness, he finally broke into a catastrophe in the process of leading the team. On the way, one migrant worker after another fled. Soon, the team escaped by more than half.
If this continues, it is estimated that they have not yet reached a destination thousands of miles away, and the disciples should all run out. Now whether Liu Bang arrived at Lishan Mountain or returned to his hometown of Pei County, there was only one way to die. The rest of the disciples advised Liu Bang to flee with him. Liu Bang and the people, who were so dead-ended, finally embarked on the road of anti-Qin uprising.
Liu Bang's legendary life, when he was young, he had no money to give because of drinking, and he owed the winery a year's worth of wine money. In the end, he also teamed up with his brothers to break the credit account of Bamboo Jane. I drank rotten wine at another wine party, and I actually got a wife. This time, because of alcoholism, the disciples escorted to the tomb were scattered. It was because of drinking that led to his legendary life and led to many turning points in his life. In the end, it also went to the anti-Qin road.
Liu Bang took his followers to Mount Mangzhong, intending to set up a village here. This is a deserted mountain range. On their way, they encountered a large white snake that was entrenched. People looked at each other and did not dare to go forward.
At this time, seeing Liu Bang drinking wine, taking advantage of the wine and copying the knife, he directly rushed over and fought with the snake. After several rounds of slashing, Liu Bang finally killed the giant snake and split the snake into two pieces. In this way, the road is cleared again and people are able to move on. In this way, Liu Bang formed a gorgeous turn from drunkard to drunkard in people's minds.
After walking a few more steps, Liu Bang fell down crookedly and fell asleep. The people camped here. In the middle of the night, suddenly there was a burst of old women's heart-rending cries not far away, as if they were dead people. So people planned to take a look.
People walked toward the place where the crying came from, cutting off trees, branches and grass, and people saw an old woman sitting in front of them, weeping in front of a half-cut white snake.
People go up and ask: What are you crying? The old woman replied, "My son, the son of the White Emperor, turned into a snake and stood in the way, and now he has been beheaded by the son of the Red Emperor, and I weep bitterly." ”
People thought the old woman was lying, so someone tried to beat him, but the old woman suddenly disappeared. The people returned to the original camp, found Liu Bang, and told him about it. After Liu Bang listened, not only did he not feel afraid, but he was secretly happy, and he thought that the son of the Red Emperor was himself.
Liu Bang, a small, in the eyes of everyone, turned once again gorgeously from drunkard to drunkard, and then from drunkard to son of the Red Emperor. People love this good wine, brave, heroic, and righteous Liu Bang, who respects it day by day.
In the days that followed, more and more people turned to Liu Bang, and Liu Bang's ranks grew stronger and stronger. With the wave of peasant revolts, Liu Bang's army marched south to the north. Eight years later, liu bang led an army that overthrew the Qin Dynasty and defeated the powerful enemy Xiang Yu, eventually establishing the Han Dynasty. Liu Bang became the first peasant-born emperor in Chinese history.
After unifying China and becoming emperor, Liu Bang returned to his hometown of Pei County. In the pub in Pei County, I drank with my father and fellow villagers for more than ten days. He wrote: The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, Wei Jia Hai is returning to his hometown, and and the Ander warriors are guarding in all directions.
At that time, it was already 196 BC, that is, Liu Bang was 60 years old. Liu Bang was in his twenties, in his hometown of Pei County, and had been drinking the money owed by Bawang Liquor for many years, and had been owed for more than thirty years. Whether or not the arrears are returned is not recorded in history. Liu Bang, 60, may have forgotten and never returned.
