Chapter 255 The Most Underrated Emperor Han Gaozu in History

"Bailu, who do you think is the most underrated emperor in ancient Chinese feudal history?"

Walk in the palace of the Han Dynasty more than 2000 years ago.

Lin Feng suddenly said something.

"Uh--"

Bai Lu thought for a while and said, "It should be Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty!"

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "Think about it carefully."

Ahead is the Weiyang Palace.

Bai Lu's beautiful eyes glowed, and he said, "Could it be that Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty?"

Lin Feng said, "It is Han Gaozu."

Bai Lu said, "How is it possible, Emperor Gaozu, who knows people and uses them well, has always been a super-talented hero-level existence, no one underestimates him!
Unspoken.

Modern people may think that Liu Bang is not very good, but in the past history, in the Han, Three Kingdoms, Sui and Tang Dynasties, etc., in the eyes of those ancient emperors, Liu Bang was a first-class representative of an absolutely powerful king.

Lin Feng said, "Regardless of the past or the present, people of all ages have underestimated the strength of Han Gaozu."

People saw Liu Bang in a panic at the Hongmen Banquet, they saw Liu Bang who did not dare to fight Xiang Yu's overlord, and they saw Liu Bang who besieged Bai Dengshan...

but.

And who knows one more thing.

Facing the majestic Weiyang Palace, Lin Feng said with emotion:
"How many people know that Liu Bang is the first civilian emperor in Chinese history?"

"A commoner, but it proves that the destiny belongs."

Just two sentences are enough to explain everything.

The esoteric meaning hidden in this place is terribly thoughtful, and at the same time, it also makes the audience who watch the show tremble.

"I'll go. If the host doesn't say anything, I'll forget about it."

"You're not the first."

"I just came back to my senses!"

"I have always thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was the first true civilian emperor!"

"Old Zhuna is not considered a commoner, he is so poor that he is no different from a beggar."

"Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn, Warring States, and then Qin Dynasty, all the high thrones are controlled by the big clans. Starting from Liu Bang, it has indeed proved one thing. This world, this emperor, is not the private property of some nobles. You Looking at the later Liu Xiu, Liu Bei, Zhu Yuanzhang, etc., they all came from poor backgrounds and eventually competed for the throne."

"From civilians to emperors, looking at the history of the feudal era for more than 2000 years, there are only a few people. From this point of view, Liu Bang seems to be really underestimated."

"Liu Bang was mediocre in his middle age. He only started his business at the age of 48. In just 7 years, he became the number one in the world. This speed of upgrading is absolutely unprecedented."

"Now, if we are 48 years old, I am afraid we will all accept our fate?"

To put it more mysteriously.

Liu Bang started his business at the age of 48, and he is not afraid to start all over again!
In the early days, Qin Shihuang often said: "The southeast has the spirit of heaven."

So he has made many eastward tours, trying to calm down this cloud.

After Liu Bang killed the big snake and heard about the miraculous thing, he began to suspect that Shi Huang was coming for him.

Therefore, he took those prisoners who were willing to follow him and fled to the mountains of Mang and Dang, where they hid.

But even so, Empress Lu and others went to look for him, and they were often able to find him quickly.Liu Bang was very surprised, so he asked her why.

Empress Lu said: "where you are hiding, there are often colorful auspicious clouds in the sky, so I can find it as soon as I look for it."

Liu Bang was very happy and quietly publicized the matter to the people. After hearing about it, many young people in Pei County and nearby were willing to follow him.

In this way, Liu Bang used superstition and his own personality to recruit a group of people around him, and became a hero recognized by the people at that time.

In July of the first year of Qin II (209 BC), Chen Sheng and Wu Guang launched an uprising in Daze Township. After capturing Chen, Chen Sheng became the "king" and established the "Zhang Chu" regime.

The county magistrate of Pei County wanted to respond to Chen Shenglai to protect himself. Liu Bang's friends, Xiao He, the magistrate of Pei County, and Cao Can, the jailer, suggested to the county magistrate: "You are an official of the Qin Dynasty. Now you want to betray the Qin Dynasty and lead the children of Peizhong to raise troops. I'm afraid they won't listen to you. It's better to call back those fugitives, gather a few hundred people, so that everyone will not be disobedient."

The county magistrate agreed, and he sent Empress Lu's brother-in-law Fan Kuai to find Liu Bang.At this time, Liu Bang had gathered hundreds of people, so he returned to Peicheng with Fan Kuai.

But before Liu Bang arrived in Peicheng, the county magistrate began to regret again. He was afraid that Liu Bang would kill him if he entered the city, so he closed the city gate and planned to kill Xiao He and Cao Shen.

After hearing the news, Xiao He and Cao Can fled across the city to Liu Bang.Liu Bang couldn't enter the city, so he wrote a letter and shot it into the city, calling on the elders of Peicheng to kill the county magistrate.Respond to all kinds of rebels.

The people in the city were very resentful of the county magistrate's back-and-forth, and were dissatisfied with his usual fish and meat people, so they killed the county magistrate, opened the door to welcome Liu Bang, and wanted to elect him as the county magistrate.

Many elders also said: "We have heard many miraculous things about you. You must become a noble person, and it is best for you to lead." Liu Bang refused repeatedly, and was finally embraced by everyone as "Pei Gong".

Liu Bang set up an altar to sacrifice in the county magistrate's yamen, and declared that he was the son of the Red Emperor, so he set up a red banner and officially announced his rebellion against Qin.

Then, Xiao He, Cao Shen, Fan Kui and others went separately to recruit soldiers and horses. The children of Peizhong participated enthusiastically, and the team quickly grew to two to three thousand people.It was September of the first year of Qin II, and Liu Bang was 3000 years old. Since then, he has embarked on a journey of shocking counterattacks, established a great man, and his reputation has been passed down through the ages.

someone said.

Without the "Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty", it would be impossible for Liu Bang to change from a commoner to an emperor.

This is ridiculous.

A thousand-mile horse also needs Bole!
In fact, Liu Bang's personal ability is very strong. Except for Xiang Yu and Han Xin, he basically has no opponents in the end of Qin. North Korea, Han Xin unified the north and defeated Xiang Yu, it seems that Liu Bang did not have much credit.Seriously weakened Liu Bang's ability and political wisdom.

Before meeting Han Xin, Liu Bang took the mob in Mangdang Mountain to fight back to Pei County, and then took refuge in Xiang Liang, and finally entered Guanzhong. But Liu Bang is a statesman. For example, he was the first to win over Xiao He, and his military discipline was strict.Later, he united the princes and fought against Xiang Yu. During the four-year struggle between Chu and Han, many people who fought back and forth with Xiang Yu went to Liu Bang's side, relying not only on military ability but also political wisdom.

It can be said that it is time to conquer the world.

If there is no Han Xin who is invincible and invincible, the world will not be captured by the overlord of Chu in the end.

With Liu Bang's political wisdom, it is not difficult to find a powerful general king, right?

After all.

Modern historians have weakened the ability of the Han emperor.

Even historians from ancient times to the present have deliberately weakened Liu Bang's ability when recording history, and emphasized that Liu Bang is the destiny, mainly because Liu Bang was the first commoner to be the founding emperor.

In the lens.

Lin Feng and Bai Lu, like two "transparent people", walked in the ancient palace of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty. No soldiers noticed, no one stopped, and no one paid attention...

At this time, the Weiyang Palace Group is still under construction, and it is far less luxurious, magnificent, majestic, and gorgeous than described in the history books.

Suddenly.

Lin Feng said with emotion, "Who would have thought that Han Xin, a generation of soldiers, did not die in bed, without a horse leather shroud to die on the battlefield, but died in the deep palace, at the hands of a group of weak women..."

Bailu asked, "You said Empress Lu designed to kill Han Xin, is there Liu Bang in charge here?"

Lin Feng said, "If you want to kill such an unrivaled general, do you need the consent of the emperor?"

Bai Lu said, "But Han Xin has been imprisoned in Chang'an City for many years, and Liu Bang has never killed him?"

Unspoken.

It was all the result of Empress Lu's arbitrary power.

Lin Feng sighed and said, "When Han Xin died tragically, do you know what Liu Bang was doing at that time?"

Bailu said, "According to historical records, Liu Bang is attacking Wang Yingbu of the opposite sex."

Lin Feng said, "Liu Bang was hit by the drain and suffered serious injuries. At this time, he was already 61 years old. At that time, life was rare in seventy years. According to my guess, Liu Bang might know that he would not live long at that time. Before he passed away, Han Xin could not stay."

Bai Lu said thoughtfully, "No wonder Liu Bang passed away the next year after Han Xin's death."

Lin Feng said, "Han Xin is too strong, if Han Gaozu didn't take away the Bingxian before his death, can this great Han country be stabilized?"

Bailu said again, "But why didn't Han Gaozu take action himself? Instead, let Empress Lu be the villain? After all, in those years, Han Gaozu kept suppressing kings of the opposite sex and killing meritorious ministers, and Han Gaozu still cared about the killer Han Xin reputation?"

Yes!

Before Han Xin died.

The seven kings of the opposite sex were wiped out one by one by Liu Bang.

Now that he has done the road of "the cunning rabbit dies, the dog cooks", and then bears the "notoriety" of killing Han Xin, what is there to worry about?

Lin Feng just said, "I can't answer this, so I can only visit the door in person and ask Emperor Gaozu."

at this time.

Accompanied by a gust of strange wind.

Two modern hosts crossed the threshold and walked side by side into a spacious and huge Weiyang Palace hall.

The height of the hall ahead.

An emperor looked down, as if he had sensed something, as if a giant dragon was staring at him, the dragon's eyes were sharp, as if he could see through the soul of a person, he could see through the past and the present...

The camera is facing.

In the modern times separated by more than 2000 years, countless viewers stared at the screen, stared at the arrogant emperor in the live broadcast, and their hearts trembled again.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a tingling feeling in their hearts.

"This, is this Han Gaozu?"
