Emperor Gao was helpless and bored, and Zhang Liang planned to solve the problem

Now when the general literary and artistic song and dance and speech competitions are decided, they are first announced from the last level, and then the first, second, and third prizes are decided, and I don't know how this procedure came from, but I know that the source must come from Zhang Liang, the marquis of Liu. How to say it?

When Emperor Gao and Xiang Yu "fought with each other in Chu and Han", and established a new dynasty after victory, he first appointed more than twenty great meritorious men, and the rest of the generals waited for the officials to fight day and night for the merits, and Emperor Gao saw the generals sitting together in the Luoyang Southern Palace talking from time to time, and he was very uneasy, so he asked What was the situation with these people. Zhang Liang told Emperor Gao: "Your Majesty started from the cloth and finally got the world, and now you are the Son of Heaven, and what Your Majesty has recently sealed is your old man's team, and all the killings are your vendettas, so they are afraid that there will be no good end, and they sit together and plot rebellion." These words were blunt enough, and Emperor Gao was of course very worried when he heard it, and he scratched his scalp and asked Liu Hou what to do.

Who was Liu Hou, whose heart and eyes were comparable to Zhi Duoxing's, and he asked Emperor Gao, "Your Majesty hates the most in his life, and who among the people who the courtiers know, who ranks first?" ”

Emperor Gao blurted out: "Yongya, this guy, he has made me unable to get off the stage several times." ”

Liu Hou said: "Now that things are very urgent, in order to prevent the generals from rebelling, please ask Your Majesty to seal the Yongya first, so that the courtiers will not riot." ”

Therefore, Emperor Gao adopted the strategy of Liu Hou and made Yongya the Marquis of Shifang. Seeing that Yongya, the most hated of Emperor Gao, and didn't even want to look at it, had actually been enfeoffed, the courtiers said happily: "Yongya is still a marquis, do I still have problems with my generation of officials according to merit?"

Zhang Liang's plan solved Emperor Gao's great problem, and this plan could not but be said to be a good plan. However, Zhang Liang's plan also brought about adverse effects in the future, that is, Emperor Gao solved the immediate problems, but also left serious troubles, that is, he had a deep distrust of the generals who were born and died that year, afraid that they would rebel at any time and lay the foundation for the massacre of heroes.
