"Of course, apart from Yong Chi, it can be said that Cao Wushang, Shen Shiqi and others also made mistakes, but after all, the losses caused by Cao Wushang and Shen Shiqi to Liu Bang were far less than those caused by Yong Chi. Liu Bang's loss, so Yong Chi became the person Liu Bang hated most."

"Not only did you miss the person you believed in, but you also scolded the person you missed. When the Huns failed, someone also tried to persuade Liu Bang, but Liu Bang didn't believe it and scolded the person and sent him to prison."

Liu Bang: Ahem!I knew this, and I was indeed a bit too arrogant at the time.

"In the seventh year of the Han Dynasty, Han Wangxin defected to the Huns and became a traitor. He became a leader and often led the Huns to invade the south."

"As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang really had a headache and had to go into battle again and go to the border to destroy the arrogance of the Huns."

"At this time, Liu Bang was no longer the Pei Gong who had just started his career. Ten years of battlefield battles had made Liu Bang very sensitive to war. Liu Bang understood the principle of knowing yourself and your enemy to survive a hundred battles."

"In order to better understand the opponent he was about to face, Liu Bang sent groups of people to explore the situation of the Xiongnu."

"The leader of the Xiongnu, Maodun, was a very cunning king. He once relied on his cunning to defeat the unsuspecting King of Donghu in one fell swoop, took Donghu's land as his own, and turned the people of Donghu into slaves of the Huns."

"In order to deal with Liu Bang, Mao Dun still did not change his true colors and used cunning tactics to hide all his elite troops, so that the Han envoys saw only old and weak soldiers. The Han envoys sent by Liu Bang turned out to be the same as those sent by Xiang Yu. The Chu envoys who came to the Han camp were just as stupid and did not see Maodun's tricks."

"One person figured it out. This person's name is Liu Jing. His original name was Lou Jing. He was given the surname Liu because he suggested moving the capital to Guanzhong."

"Liu Jing told Liu Bang that this matter is very unreasonable. The two countries are about to fight, and both countries should show off their military power to each other. However, the Huns showed us only shortcomings. This can only show that the Huns are using Fraud."

"It's a pity that although Liu Jing's opinion was right, Liu Bang didn't listen at all. Instead, he scolded Liu Jing, saying that Liu Jing was destroying the morale of the Han army, and then threw Liu Jing into prison."

"Later, because he despised the Xiongnu, Liu Bang encountered the siege of Baideng."

"Liu Bang also knew that he was scolding the wrong person, so he released Liu Jing later and gave him a surname."

Li Shimin: In fact, these are not big problems, they are all small problems. Putting aside Liu Bang's ruthlessness towards Empress Lu, these are not big problems.

Fu Su: Can’t we tell the story of Empress Lu now?
Liu Xiu: How can you blame Gaozu? Empress Lu also did some things herself.

Wu Zetian: This is so funny!Although I haven't mentioned Empress Lu yet, when Liu Bang came to power, he also had Empress Lu's shadow in eradicating dissidents. After hard times, he didn't treat others well after he came to power, and blamed others for being too arrogant.

Yin Lihua: It’s wrong to let the Lu family take part in politics!

Shangguan Wan'er: Yes!Letting the Liu family take over on their own would lead to chaos later.

"It's a bit early to talk about Empress Lu now. We haven't finished talking about Han Gaozu yet."

"Tang Taizong is right. These are not big problems. They only caused Liu Bang two losses."

"This enfeoffment system is definitely a mistake. Another thing may be the common problem of emperors, the establishment of a heir." "As early as the second year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang defeated Pengcheng. After returning to his hometown of Fengfei, he found his legitimate son Liu Ying. After bringing Liu Ying back to Guanzhong, Liu Bang couldn't wait to make Liu Ying the crown prince, found a teacher for Liu Ying, and asked Xiao He to assist Liu Ying in governing Guanzhong."

"However, Liu Bang's successor was not well chosen. Liu Ying is actually not the material to be the emperor."

"Liu Bang, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, spent 15 years in the army. He defeated the Qin Dynasty, destroyed Xiang, fought against the Xiongnu, and killed kings with different surnames. He left a world-unified country with his illustrious martial arts. But as the only legitimate son, Liu Ying was completely incomparable to Liu Bang in terms of bravery. Compare."

"One year before Liu Bang's death, Wang Ying of Huainan launched an army to rebel. Liu Bang originally asked Liu Ying to quell the rebellion. The quelling was successful. No princes and kings dared to look down on Liu Ying as the crown prince anymore. Meritorious veterans must respect Liu Ying. But Liu Ying didn’t dare to go because she was afraid of death.”

"As everyone knows, wealth is found in danger. Although Liu Ying is now the successor of the empire, the only source of legitimacy for his power is that he has a good father. Once his father dies, there is no guarantee that no one will take advantage of him. "

"If Liu Ying was even half as brave as Liu Bang's second nephew Liu Bi, even if he did not take command personally but went on an expedition with his father, he would not have ended up with no descendants."

"Although Liu Ying later successfully ascended the throne, eight years after Liu Ying's death, Liu Ying's mother also died. Liu Ying's four young sons were killed by Liu Heng and others because they had no one to protect them. ”

Bai Qi: This heir is indeed a bit weak. The opportunity is in front of him, and he is still afraid of death. How can such a person become emperor? He will be similar to those in the Song Dynasty.

Yang Jian: The character of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was similar to mine. He was a bit suspicious, which would really lead to wrong judgment.

Li Longji: Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was also quite lecherous and not responsible enough for his feelings. This can be seen in Empress Lu. She also lacked due love for his children and took power too seriously. She turned against the brothers who conquered the country with him. ruthless.

Xu Da: He is so ruthless to his brother that no one dares to work with him.

"Liu Bang's faults were his ruthless selfishness, feudalism, choosing the wrong prince, and indiscriminate killing of meritorious officials."

"There are not many perfect emperors. Although Liu Bang behaved wildly, he was a model of benevolence and righteousness in his treatment of the people. Everyone can discuss the controversy about him, but he truly deserves his reputation."

"Liu Bang in his later years can only be said to be very miserable."

"In his later years, Liu Bang, who used to command thousands of troops, watched power disappear from his hands bit by bit. He was unwilling to do so, but he was helpless."

"Liu Bang doted on Mrs. Qi in his later years. He wanted to depose the prince many times and install Qi's son, King Zhao Liu Ruyi. However, the prince was the son of Empress Lu, so Liu Bang took advantage of the rat and kept silent."

"From the time he proclaimed himself emperor in 202 BC to his death in 195 BC, it was eight years before and after. Liu Bang was basically either on the road to conquer princes and kings of different surnames, or on his way to the imperial army to conquer. Therefore, it was really hard for Liu Bang to be the emperor. , basically spent his later years on horseback.”

"As mentioned before, during the Yingbo Rebellion, Liu Bang was seriously ill at the time. He wanted the prince to lead the army on the expedition, but Empress Lu firmly disagreed, so Liu Bang had to fight in person despite his illness."

"Liu Bang, who was over fifty years old, was no longer worried about handing over military power to any general and would personally lead the troops and conduct the expedition himself."
