1. Liu Bang’s superstitious historical materials. There are many superstitious legends about Liu Bang and other emperors. Once, Empress Lu and her daughter were weeding in the field. An old man passing by asked them for some water. After drinking the water, he said flatteringly:
Both of them look like noble people.
As soon as the old man left, Liu Bang also came back. Empress Lu told Liu Bang what the old man said just now. Liu Bang was very happy when he heard it. He quickly caught up with the old man and asked him to look at his face.
The old man said that the reason why he said that his wife and daughter looked noble was because of him, and Liu Bang's appearance was beyond words.
Liu Bang was very happy when he heard this. He thanked the old man and went back.
Later, Liu Bang was ordered to escort the prisoners to serve in Lishan Mountain, but many people had already escaped on the way. Liu Bang was also helpless. When he walked to Daze in Fengyi County to rest, Liu Bang drank some wine and then let go.
The ropes on the prisoners' bodies allowed them to escape on their own.
But more than a dozen people were unwilling to leave him alone and expressed their willingness to follow him.
Liu Bang led everyone to flee. The person who was responsible for clearing the road came back and told him that there was a big snake blocking the road ahead and it was impossible to pass. Liu Bang was a little drunk and reprimanded: "We brave men are walking on the road, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
Separating the crowd, he went to the front and saw a snake lying in the middle of the road. He drew his sword and cut the snake in half.
After walking for a while, Liu Bang felt dizzy, so he lay down on the side of the road to rest and wait for the people behind him.
After a while, the people behind him caught up and told him that he saw an old lady crying by the roadside and asked her why. She said someone had killed his son.
Asked why he was killed, she said that his son was the son of the White Emperor. He had just turned into a snake, but was killed by the Red Emperor's son on the roadside, so she was so sad.
At that time, everyone thought that the old lady was lying, but the old lady suddenly disappeared.
Liu Bang was secretly happy when he heard about it, and he would use this to improve his prestige and status in the future.
After that, Liu Bang led his people to flee everywhere, but Queen Lu could find him every time. Liu Bang was very surprised and asked his wife why. Queen Lu said that the place where he was hiding was often surrounded by colorful clouds, so it was easy to find him.
Liu Bang later asked his men to spread this rumor widely, and many people believed it and wanted to join him.
In fact, these rumors were basically deliberately fabricated by the emperor after he established the country, in order to prove that he was different and kingly.
Due to these legends, Liu Bang's local prestige gradually increased, and more and more people followed him. He was called the hero of Peizhong by the locals.
2. Peigong raised his troops. In 209 BC, the peasant uprising broke out in the late Qin Dynasty. After Chen Sheng and Wu Guang led the rebel army to capture Chen (now Huaiyang, Henan), Chen Sheng established the "Zhang Chu" regime and openly opposed the Qin Dynasty.
At this time, the county magistrate of Peixian County also wanted to respond and continue to control the power of Peixian County. Xiao He and Cao Shen were the main officials under the county magistrate at the time. They persuaded the county magistrate to call back the exiled people in the county, so as to increase the number of people in exile.
Strength can also prevent future troubles.
The county magistrate thought it was reasonable, so he asked Liu Bang's brother-in-law Fan Kuai to find Liu Bang, and Liu Bang led his people back.
The county magistrate here regretted it again, fearing that it would be difficult to control Liu Bang when he came back, and that he might be killed by Liu Bang, which was tantamount to luring a wolf into the house.
Therefore, he ordered the city gate to be closed and prepared to arrest Xiao He and Cao Shen.
Xiao He and Cao Shen fled outside the city after hearing the news. Liu Bang shot the letter into the city, encouraging the people in the city to rise up and kill the renegade county magistrate, and everyone defended their hometown together.
The people were very dissatisfied with the county magistrate who was usually not very considerate of them. After killing the magistrate, they opened the city gate to welcome Liu Bang and elected him as Pei Gong to lead everyone in the uprising.
Liu Bang obeyed public opinion, set up an altar, claimed to be the son of the Red Emperor, and led the people to raise the banner of anti-Qin.
This year is already September of the first year of Qin II, and Liu Bang is forty-eight years old.
3. Liu Bang made a sweet wife with the gift. It is said that on this day, Duke Lu of Pei County had a great move and held a banquet in a tavern in the city.
Familiar and unfamiliar people, as long as they have some respect in the county, they all come.
Lu Gong is a foreigner who has just come here to seek refuge from Shanxian County in Shandong Province.
This is strange. How can a guy who takes refuge have so many people to support him?
It turns out that Lu Gong's ancestor was once rich, and he was a descendant of Lu Shang, the founder of Qi State, so he was a family friend of the current magistrate of Peixian County.
Liu Bang's pavilion chief, who had been swimming for thousands of years, wanted to be transferred to the city, so he came too.
Maybe he came here with a package of one hundred or two hundred yuan, or maybe he had no intention of handing over the red envelope at all.
When Liu Bang was swimming, he would go to any store and never pay the bill. He ate and drank. Some of them gave him local specialties and protection fees. Some of them left his debt there. In the end, he wrote a white note and wrote it off - Liu Bang later
After becoming the emperor, the store's accounts were still hanging there, "I picked mulberries in the spring, borrowed millet in the winter, and paid countless amounts of rice and wheat." They were all "clearly marked on the calendar, and now there are documents."
of.
This county is not his hometown, but Liu Bang is Liu Bang. He stood at the door of the tavern and shouted: "Lv Gong, I will give you a gift of 10,000 yuan!" Upon hearing this, Lu Gong was so happy that he rushed Liu Bang inside.
please.
This puts Xiao He in trouble.
