Liu Bang had eight sons: the eldest son Liu Fei, the second son Liu Ying, the third son Liu Ruyi, the fourth son Liu Heng, the fifth son Liu Hui, the sixth son Liu You, the seventh son Liu Chang, and the eighth son Liu Jian. After Liu Bang became the Son of Heaven, the eldest son Liu Fei did not become the crown prince, but the fiefdom of qi had more counties than other brothers, so let's look at the map of the state of Qi.
Liu Bang was born in Zhongyangli, Feng County, Surabaya County (later Pei County), which was in the process of the annexation of the State of Lu by the State of Chu, and Liu Bang's nationality was either Lu or Chu. When Liu Bang was 33 years old, Qin destroyed Chu, and Liu Bang went to Pei County, Surabaya County, as a pavilion chief, and his nationality became Qin.
Before Liu Bang was 33 years old, the war was constant, and he was displaced, and in this special background, he gave birth to his eldest son Liu Fei with his wife Cao Shi. This was before Liu Bang married Lü Yan, and Liu Fei was the eldest son of Shu.
Qin and Han marriages are right at home, men are in excess, and they are equal to criminals and evil teenagers, and they will catch Zhuang Ding on the battlefield at any time; women with unequal status cannot be proper wives, they can only be concubines, and if the conditions are very poor, they can only be housewives without honor. Ancient women were sheltered at home by their fathers, married from their husbands, and died from their sons. Cao Shi is a foreign wife, and her status is even lower than that of the Tongfang Yatou, probably because she was separated from her father's family and became a rootless wood, a sourceless water, and a person with a bitter life.
Liu Bang's father, Liu Xi, was a disciple of Lu Guo, who sold liquor and cockfighting in his life. Marry a lady and have four sons and a daughter, and marry a young girl in middle age.
Liu Bang's eldest brother died early, and the other three brothers had all read books, especially Liu Bang's brother Liu Jiaohao, who was a disciple of Xun Zi and had written commentaries on the Book of Poetry.
In general, Liu Bang's family is deeply influenced by Lu culture, the family has property and employment, although Liu Bang's personal life is a bit off the road, but the marriage should be right, Cao's concubine can not even be counted, can only be called a foreign wife.
Cao Shi died early, and Liu Fei followed his father at a young age and did not have enough to eat. After Liu Bang married Lü Yan, Liu Fei was already a teenager, but he was not bad for his sister and brother, and the three had a good relationship.
In the first month of 201 BC, Liu Bang made Liu Fei the King of Qi, with a total of more than seventy cities, and the capital was Linzi. The territory of the State of Qi at this time was comparable to that of the State of Qi after the Restoration of Tian Dan in the Warring States Period, or the State of Qi at the time of Wang Ben's destruction of Qi.
In the fifty years since the State of Qi from Tian Dan to Qin, the State of Qi has not sent an army out of the country. The Qi people sit on the benefits of fishing and salt, the country is peaceful, and the song and dance are peaceful. Folk blowing drums and drums, cockfighting and dog racing, are all arrogant and lavish, which is completely different from the situation of the princes fighting with dragons and tigers in the Warring States period.
From the end of Qin to the battle between Chu and Han, the State of Qi was almost far away from the battlefield, and Han Xin waved his division into the State of Qi and defeated Xiang Yu's general Long Hezhi's army, and the main forces of both sides were not Qi people.
The State of Qi was the most populous feudal state in the early Han Dynasty, with a prosperous scene of traffic and traffic. Later, the State of Qi was divided many times, and up to 12 counties were counties: Taishan County, Pingyuan County, Jinan County, Qi County, Qiancheng County, Lingchuan Kingdom, Gaomi Kingdom, Beihai County, Jiaodong Kingdom, Donglai County, Langxian County, and Chengyang Kingdom, and it should be known that there were only one hundred and a few counties at the peak of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Feihong Fuqitian, in the life of the State of Qi, was prosperous and gave birth to thirteen sons.
In 192 BC, Liu Fei, the King of Qi, came to the dynasty, and liu Bang had died three years later. Lü Hou wanted to poison Liu Fei, and Emperor Hui of Han was benevolent and deliberately protected his brother. Liu Fei took the initiative to dedicate Chengyang County to Princess Lu Yuan as Tang Muyi, and was able to return to China.
Three years later, Liu Fei the Prince of Qi died, and the State of Qi was weakened by Lü Hou, Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing, and Emperor Wu in turn, and was eventually divided into 12 counties. Liu Bang's eight sons, in addition to Emperor Hui, the number of other six fiefdoms and counties has not exceeded Liu Fei's, which shows the depth of Liu Bang's love for the eldest son, and it is also compensation for Liu Fei's inability to take the throne of Tianzi.
