1. Liu Bang held grudges

Liu Bangxiang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was famous for his open-mindedness, open-mindedness, understanding of people and good responsibilities.

Liu Bang had four brothers. The eldest brother Liu Bo died in his early years.

When Liu Bang was a commoner, he was idle all day long, greedy for money and lust, and made friends with a group of local ruffians. Liu Bang often took these people to his sister-in-law's house for dinner. My sister-in-law hates this brother-in-law very much.

One time, the brother-in-law brought a group of random people to eat, and the sister-in-law deliberately scraped the side of the pot loudly with a spoon to pretend that the soup was finished. Liu Bang's buddies all left because of this. Liu Bang secretly went to check and found that there was still soup in the pot. From then on, he resented his sister-in-law.

When Liu Bang finally became emperor, he divided the brothers and relatives, but did not grant the title to his eldest brother's son. When the Supreme Emperor asked the reason, the founding king plausibly said: "It's not that I forgot to grant him the title, because he My mother is so unlike an elder." After the Emperor repeatedly interceded, Liu Bang named his eldest brother's son "Geng Jie" (Jie means 'scraping').

2. The Tragedy of Mrs. Qi

Liu Bang died, and his wife, the Empress Dowager Lu, took charge of the court.

The people Empress Dowager Lu usually hates the most are Liu Bang’s favorite concubine, Mrs. Qi, and her son, King Zhao Ruyi. As soon as Liu Bang died, Empress Lu immediately ordered Mrs. Qi to be imprisoned.

Ruyi was urgently summoned from King Zhao’s fiefdom to return to Beijing.

The newly ascended emperor, Emperor Xiaohui, is Empress Lu’s biological son. Emperor Hui was very kind. Knowing that his mother was angry with Ruyi, he personally took Ruyi back and protected him every step of the way. But in the end, Empress Lu found an opportunity and poisoned her to death.

After Ruyi was killed, Empress Lu immediately sent people to the prison, cut off Mrs. Qi's hands and feet, gouged out her eyes, smoked her ears to deafness, drank dumb medicine, and threw her into a pig pen. Call her a "human pig".

A few days later, Empress Lu called her son Emperor Xiaohui to admire the "human pig". Emperor Hui was surprised and asked what it was. He replied that it was Mrs. Qi. Emperor Hui immediately burst into tears and fell ill from then on. , couldn't get out of bed for more than a year, and said to the Queen Mother: "This is not what humans do. As the Queen Mother's son, I can no longer govern the world."

The Queen Mother Lu was extremely cruel and cruel. !

But as the saying goes, everything happens for a reason, and so does Empress Lu's deep hatred for Mrs. Qi. During the lifetime of the great ancestor Liu Bang, Mrs. Qi was the most favored and often accompanied Liu Bang. However, Empress Lu was old and frail, and was much neglected. At that time, Emperor Xiaohui was appointed as the crown prince, but Mrs. Qi relied on her favor and cried all day long in front of Liu Bang, demanding that her son Ruyi should replace Emperor Hui as the crown prince. Liu Bang almost deposed his eldest son several times, relying on the advice of his ministers. , and Zhang Liang's plan failed to be implemented.

At this time, does Mrs. Qi have any worries?

Women are too keen on power and wealth, which in itself is the beginning of tragedy.

3. The lovely Confucius

The great thinker Confucius, in order to promote his political ideas, did not shy away from hardships and led his disciples to travel around the world to lobby.

One day he came to Weiguo and stayed in the home of a man named Zang Boyu. Duke Ling, the monarch of the Wei Kingdom, had a beautiful lady named Nanzi who admired Confucius and wanted to see him, so he sent someone to say to Confucius: "Gentlemen from all countries who want to make friends with our monarch will definitely pay homage to our Nanzi." Madam, we, Mrs. Nanzi, also want to see you." Confucius thanked you politely and followed the visitor as a last resort.

Mrs. Nanzi sat in the Gebu curtain and waited. Confucius kowtowed after entering the door, and the extremely beautiful Mrs. Nanzi also bowed back in the tent. When doing so, the jade ring she wore made a crisp sound of clanking. This scene made the saint Confucius, who respected etiquette, feel deeply. Banging.

Afterwards, Confucius was a little embarrassed when he saw his disciples again. He explained: "I didn't want to see her in the first place. Since I had to meet her, I have to return her courtesy."

Zi Lu didn’t like to hear it, and Confucius was so anxious that he swore: "If I do something wrong, God will definitely reject me! God will definitely reject me!"

One day, Confucius came to Zheng State and got separated from his disciples. .

Confucius stood alone at the east gate of the city. A man from the state of Zheng saw Confucius and said to Confucius's student Zigong: "There is a man at the east gate. His forehead is like Tang Yao, his neck is like Gao Tao, and his shoulders are like Zichan, the minister of the state of Zheng. , but he was three inches shorter than Yu from the waist down, and looked miserable and listless, like a bereaved dog." After Zigong met Confucius, he told Confucius the truth. He laughed and said: "The way he described my appearance is not necessarily right. He said I look like a lost dog. He is absolutely right! He is absolutely right!"

Once, Confucius passed by a place called Pu and met him. The Gongshu family occupied Pudi and rebelled against the Wei Kingdom. Because Confucius was in love with the state of Wei, the people of Pu detained Confucius.

One of the disciples named Gong Liangru, who was tall, talented and brave, was fighting with the Pu people. The Pu people were frightened and said to Confucius: "If you swear not to defend the country, , we will let you go." Confucius immediately swore an oath and made a covenant with the Pu people, and the Pu people let them go.

Confucius left the city but went straight to Weiguo. Zigong said, "Can we break a covenant with others?" Confucius smiled calmly and said, "Covenants made under coercion are not sacred to God." It doesn’t count.”

4. Tian Guang

The prince stepped forward to greet Tian Guang, walked backwards to guide Tian Guang, knelt down and wiped the seat to let Tian Guang sit. After Tian Guang sat firmly and there was no one else around him, the prince left his seat and asked Tian Guang for advice: "The State of Yan and the State of Qin have sworn to be incompatible. I hope you will pay attention." Tian Guang said: "I heard that when Qiji was strong, The sun can run thousands of miles, and when it gets old, even an inferior horse can run ahead of it. Now the prince only hears about me in my prime, but he doesn't know that my energy is exhausted. Even so, I can't take the liberty to do so. To plan state affairs, my good friend Jing Qing can take on this mission." The prince said, "I hope I can make friends with Jing Qing through my husband, okay?" Tian Guang said, "Yes," and he stood up immediately and hurried out. The prince walked to the door and warned: "What I said and what you said are important matters of the country. I hope you will not leak them!" Tian Guang leaned over and said with a smile: "Yes." Tian Guang walked away hunched over. Seeing Jing Qing, he said, "You and I are very good to each other. Everyone in the Yan Kingdom knows this. Now the prince has heard about my scene in my prime, but he doesn't know that my body is no longer capable of doing what I want. I am honored to listen to his teachings." "Yan and Qin have vowed not to be independent. I hope you will pay attention." I have recommended you to the prince in private. I hope you will visit the prince in the palace. "Jing Ke said, "I would like to receive advice." : "I heard that a mature person should not let others doubt him when he acts. Now the prince warned me: 'What I said is a national matter, I hope you will not leak it.' This is because the prince doubts me. A person who acts alone will If others doubt him, he will not be considered a moral and loyal person." He wanted to commit suicide to motivate Jing Qing and said, "I hope you will see the prince immediately and say that I am dead to show that I will not reveal the secret. ." So he cut his neck and committed suicide

5. Chen Sheng

Chen Sheng became the king for six months. After becoming king, he made Chen County the capital. Once upon a time, a man who had been hired by him to plow fields heard that he had become king. He came to Chen County, knocked on the palace door and said, "I want to see Chen She." The officer guarding the palace gate wanted to tie him up. . After he explained repeatedly, he was let go, but still refused to inform him. When King Chen went out, he blocked the road and called Chen She's name. After hearing this, King Chen summoned him and took a carriage back to the palace with him. After walking into the palace and seeing the halls, houses, and curtains, the guest said, "Hey! King Chen She's palace is so tall and deep!" People in Chu called "many" "huo", so it was spread throughout the world that "Huo She is the king." "The saying goes from Chen She. This guest came and went in and out of the palace more and more freely, and often told people about Chen She's past events. Someone said to King Chen: "Your guest is ignorant and talks nonsense, which is detrimental to your majesty." King Chen killed the visitor. From then on, all the old and close friends of King Chen left voluntarily, and no one was close to King Chen anymore.

6. Li Guang

The Huns invaded Shangjun in a large scale. The emperor sent a eunuch to follow Li Guang to study military affairs and fight against the Huns.

The eunuch led dozens of cavalry and galloped. When they encountered three Huns, they fought with them. The three Huns turned around and fired arrows, wounding the eunuch and almost killing all his cavalry. The eunuch fled back to Li Guang. Li Guang said: "This must be a Xiongnu expert in shooting eagles." Li Guang then led a hundred cavalry to chase the three Huns. The three men had no horses and traveled on foot. After walking for dozens of miles, Li Guang ordered his cavalry to spread out to the left and right and outflank him in two directions. He personally went to shoot the three men, killing two and capturing one alive. It turned out to be the Huns' vulture shooter. After tying him onto his horse, he saw thousands of Huns cavalry in the distance. When they saw Li Guang, they thought he was a cavalryman luring the enemy. They were surprised and ran up the mountain to set up their formation. Li Guang's hundreds of cavalry were also frightened and wanted to get back on their horses and run away. Li Guang said: "We are dozens of miles away from the army. According to the current situation, as soon as our hundred cavalry run away, the Huns will chase and kill us, and we will be killed immediately. Now we can't stay, The Xiongnu must have thought that we were here to lure the enemy, and they would not dare to attack us." Li Guang ordered the cavalry: "Go forward!" When they reached a place about two miles away from the Xiongnu position, they stopped and gave the order. : "Everyone dismount and unsaddle!" The cavalry said: "There are so many enemies and they are so close. What if there is an emergency?" Li Guang said: "Those enemies thought we would escape, but now we are all Taking off the saddle means not escaping, which will make them more firmly believe that we are luring the enemy." So the Huns cavalry finally did not dare to attack. A Hun general riding a white horse came out to guard his soldiers. Li Guang immediately mounted his horse and galloped with more than a dozen cavalry. He shot the Hun general riding a white horse to death. Then he returned to his cavalry team, took off his saddle, and Let the soldiers let go of their horses and lie down wherever they want. It was dusk at this time, and the Xiongnu army always felt strange and did not dare to attack. In the middle of the night, the Xiongnu soldiers thought that the Han Dynasty had an ambush nearby and wanted to sneak up on them at night, so the Xiongnu troops retreated. The next morning, Li Guang returned to his army camp. The army did not know where Li Guang was going, so they were unable to respond later.
