Liu Bang took over the throne of Han from the famous general Han Xin and became the new generation of emperors. His reign had just begun, and he faced many dilemmas and challenges.
At that time, Liu He, a prince of Western Chu, was waging a series of revolts in an attempt to overthrow Liu Bang's rule. At this critical moment, Liu Bang needs to find a way to escape.
In order to ensure that he can escape safely in the event of an emergency, Liu Bang decided to prepare three escape routes for himself. He had three tunnels dug up to the exterior of the palace in case of emergency. One of them leads to the river, one leads to the mountains and forests, and the third leads to Madame Qi's hometown.
Liu Bang explained the three escape routes to Mrs. Qi and told her that these tunnels would be necessary for him to escape at any time. However, when Mrs. Qi learned the news, she was dismissive of it.
She doesn't believe these escape routes will work, believing that these tunnels are a waste of time and money. She believed that her hometown could also provide shelter, so she rejected Liu Bang's arrangement, and even targeted and ridiculed him.
However, over time, these escape routes have highlighted their tremendous value. Liu Bang was seriously wounded in a battle, and with the help of members of the Mo Army, he got into a carriage and rushed to the escape route. However, what followed was the tragic fate of Mrs. Qi and some palace maids.
When the men tried to escape to the tunnel, they found that the passage had been blocked, the poison gas had attacked them, and the escape route had been destroyed by fire, and these people had to crawl in the dark to find a way to escape the fire. Under such circumstances, Mrs. Qi and her palace maids became human beings, and they were burned and crippled, and they were miserable.
This disaster made Liu Bang suffer a lot, and he felt a great responsibility, and he never forgot the death of Mrs. Qi. Although he had done his best, because of Mrs. Qi's arrogance, it eventually became a tragedy.
The story is a great revelation that reminds us to be careful with our attitudes and the way we speak, and presents us with an extremely painful example of the consequences of arrogance and indomitability.
Liu Bang is one of the outstanding leaders in history, he has left outstanding contributions in the fields of politics, military, culture and other fields, but he has always felt guilty about what happened to Mrs. Qi. He understood that if Mrs. Qi had followed his arrangement, perhaps the tragedy could have been avoided.
This tragic incident left a profound lesson for Liu Bang. He has become more cautious and considers every decision carefully, fully assessing the possible risks and consequences. He also understood how dangerous man's conceit and contempt for the enemy were, and that the world is unpredictable and should not be taken lightly.
However, Liu Bang did not indulge in grief and self-blame. He expressed his guilt to his wife with practical actions, and in the subsequent reign, he became closer to the people and paid more attention to the well-being of the common people.
He is committed to building a strong country and has taken a series of reform measures to improve people's living standards and social prosperity.
Liu Bang also hopes that through this experience, his people and future generations will always be humble and cautious. He hoped that they would be wise about power and wealth, not arrogant or impatient, and not easily give up their vigilance for security.
