Gao Zu, a native of Zhongyangli, Fengyi, Pei County, surnamed Liu, is a chinese poet. His father's name was Liu Taigong, and his mother was the sixth wife. At the beginning, Mrs. Liu once rested and took a nap by the great lake, dreaming of meeting and copulating with the gods, when the lightning flashed and thundered, the sky was dark, too just to come to look for, saw a dragon lying on Mrs. Liu's body, and soon, Mrs. Liu became pregnant and gave birth to her son Gaozu.
Gao Zu, high nose bridge, face has a dragon face, a beautiful beard, and seventy-two black moles on his left leg. He is kind and loves people, likes to give alms to others, is open-minded, has always had lofty ambitions, and refuses to engage in agricultural production. In his prime, he tried to become an official and served as the chief of the Surabaya Pavilion. Since then, Gao Zu has become very familiar with the county officials, and he has insulted these officials. He loves to drink and has a crush on women. He often offered wine on credit to the hotel of Mrs. Wang and Wu Bao. When you are drunk, you can't sleep. Wu Fu and Mrs. Wang often saw a dragon appear on gaozu's body while sleeping, and felt very strange. Every time Gao Zu came to buy wine, the hotel business was several times better than usual. After discovering the strange thing that Gao Zu was drunk, by the end of the year, the two taverns often wrote off Gao Zu's arrears.
Gao zu once went to Xianyang to serve in the military. Once Qin Shi Huang went out on a tour and saw the First Emperor, Gao Zu said with emotion: "Ah! The big husband should be like this! ”
Lü Gong, a native of Shan Father County, was better off than Pei County Ling, and Lü Gong, in order to avoid enemies, came to the county order as a guest, so he settled in Pei County. The Haojie officials in the county heard that the county order had distinguished guests coming, and they all went to Daohe. At that time, Xiao He was responsible for receiving gifts from the chief official, and he said to the guests: "If the gift is less than a thousand dollars, please invite him to sit under the hall." At that time, as the chief of the pavilion, Gao Zu always looked down on these officials, so he jokingly painted a large amount on the gift list: He Qian 10,000 yuan. In fact, he didn't bring any money.
This gift was delivered to Lü Gong, who was very surprised and personally went to the door to greet Gao Zu. Lü Gong liked to show people the appearance, and saw that Gao Zu's appearance was special, so he paid special respect to him and led Gao Zu to the hall to sit down. Xiao He said: "Liu Ji, a person, often talks a lot and can do very few things. Gao Zu took the opportunity to insult the guests casually and took a high seat without humility. Towards the end of the banquet, Lü Gong made a look at Gao Zu and pleaded with Gao Zu to stay. So Gao Zu stayed behind, and the guests scattered, and Lü Gong said, "When I was young, I was good at meeting people." There are many people who have met me, but none of them is as noble as you, and I hope that you can respect and cherish yourself. I have a daughter who is willing to be your wife. At the end of the banquet, Mrs. Lü was very angry at Lü Gong's decision to marry her daughter to Gao zu, and she said: "You usually think that this daughter is strange and unusual, and you want to marry her to a noble person. Peixian County Order and you are good, he came to propose, you do not agree. How could he be so confused and promise his daughter to Liu Ji? Lü Gong said, "This is not something that your women's family can know!" Lü Gong then married his daughter to Liu Ji. Lü Gong's daughter was the later Empress Lü, who gave birth to Emperor Xiaohui and Princess Lu Yuan.
