Liu Bang had many ministers under him, some of whom were the old ministries of the Six Kingdoms, some of whom were poor brothers who used to make revolutions together, and some of whom were Liu Bang's bosses in his early years. Liu Bang killed Han Xin, Tu Pengyue, and beheaded Yingbu, and even the resourceful Zhang Liang retreated, actually pretending to be a ghost and engaging in seclusion. Instead, there is a peaceful and stable chancellor of the Great Han. Who this person is, it is Xiao He.
Xiao He was Liu Bang's boss in his early years, and when Liu Bang was the pavilion chief in the Surabaya Pavilion, Xiao He was the secretary of the county, and because he was proficient in the law, he was a good helper for the county order. At that time, everyone looked down on Liu Bang, who was born a rogue, and only Xiao He treated Liu Bang better. In the thirty-fifth year of Qin Shi Huang, the pavilion chief Liu Bang went to the capital Xianyang to serve a year of service. According to the custom, everyone gave three hundred copper coins and one red envelope, but Liu Bang opened Xiao He's red envelope, but it was neatly packed with five hundred copper coins. People give three hundred money, which is already a heavy gift that rivals salary, Xiao He is the boss, and making an exception to send five hundred is a special expression. This matter, Liu Bang never forgot, and later when he laid down the world's meritorious deeds, he especially added 2,000 households to Xiao He's fiefdom, clearly saying that it was to repay these 200 money, quite a little bit of grace, when the spring of chivalry.
Liu Bang later became the son of the Great Han Tianzi, why did he never act rudely to Xiao He:
First, the friendship of gentlemen is as light as water, Liu Bang has never approached Xiao He, and the two are not like Liu Bang and Fan He, Zhou Bo, Lu Wei, etc., the relationship is particularly close. Liu Bang and Xiao He's family education is different, their tastes and temperaments are very different, and between the two, there is no cup of wine in private, even if there is something to drink together, they are polite and courteous to each other. They always keep a certain distance from each other, appreciate each other, guard each other, and cooperate with each other. They appreciate each other's strengths that they don't have, they see each other's faults clearly and do not think so, and they both feel the need to complement each other. The relationship between Liu Bang and Xiao He was a courtesy exchange between equal scholars, and it was quite a little clear as water.
Second, Xiao He did things low-key, which made Liu Bang feel very relieved. Xiao He is a person who cares about the overall situation and understands the general situation, and it can be seen that Xiao He contributed the most in Liu Bang's life. The revolution began with Pei Gong as the leader, and the victory of the revolution made Liu Bang emperor. Recommend Han Xin to lead the army, so as to dominate the world, and the operation of the rear makes Liu Bang have no worries, the credit is so great, but he is cautious and cautious, and there is no suspicion of being proud of his achievements.
Third, Xiao He is good at self-preservation. During the Chu-Han War, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu held each other on the Xingyang front for twenty-eight months. During this time, Liu Bang handed over the entire Guanzhong to Xiao He to manage (above for any Guanzhong affairs), which gave Xiao He great power, and of course, Xiao He also did a very effective job. In the third year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu remained deadlocked in Xingyang, and Liu Bang repeatedly sent emissaries to comfort Xiao He. Discerning people may be able to see the mystery in the middle, but Xiao He did not notice it. Later, Xiao He's subordinate Bao (Bao Sheng) reminded him that the king was on the front line to ward off the enemy, eat and sleep, and worked very hard, but he repeatedly sent messengers to comfort you in the rear, indicating that the king of Han had become suspicious of you (there are doubts about the king). Considering your current personal situation, it is better to send all the descendants and cousins who can fight to the front, and the King of Han will definitely trust you more (Shangbiyi Xinjun). Xiao He understood it and immediately complied. Wait for his descendants and cousins to rush to the front-line camp, "King Han Dayue".
Fourth, Xiao He can insult his reputation. When Liu Bang returned from the front line in triumph, the people blocked the road and accused Xiao Xiangguo of forcibly seizing and buying a private farm house worth tens of millions of yuan. After Liu Bang returned to Chang'an, when Xiao He went to see him, Liu Bang smiled and handed over the people's letter to Xiao He, and said meaningfully: "As a Xiangguo, you even compete with the people for profit!" Is this how you "benefit the people"? Apologize to the people yourself! On the surface, Liu Bang asked Xiao He to admit his mistake to the people and compensate for the price of the land, but he was secretly happy in his heart, and his suspicions about Xiao He gradually disappeared.
