My father, Li Shimin, requests Your Majesty to become the Retired Emperor.

At that time, Zhang Liang was sitting next to Liu Bang and kicked him.

Liu Bang reacted quickly and immediately understood.

He laughed and said, "Why be a fake King of Qi? If you're going to be one, be a real King of Qi."

Liu Bang indeed appointed Han Xin as the King of Qi. Although he did appoint him, Liu Bang was still seething with anger. He thought to himself, "You, Han Xin, I promoted you from a lowly soldier to a great general, and instead of being grateful, you dare to threaten me. We'll settle this score sooner or later."

Some say that Han Xin's death was very unjust, but Han Xin also had his own way of bringing about his death.

On one occasion,

Empress Lü wanted to marry her niece to Han Xin, but Han Xin refused without hesitation, which made Empress Lü feel very embarrassed.

It can be said that from that moment on, Empress Lü hated Han Xin. She thought to herself, "You, Han Xin, were just a halberd bearer back then, but now that you've become a great general, you've become arrogant and domineering, and you don't know which way is up."

Who else is in your eyes?

On another occasion, Liu Bang sent Li Shiqi to Qi to persuade the King of Qi to surrender. To everyone's surprise, Li Shiqi, with his silver tongue, actually convinced the King of Qi to surrender to Liu Bang.

This was originally a good thing; Liu Bang surrendered the King of Qi without losing a single soldier.

However, encouraged by his strategist Kuai Che, Han Xin took advantage of the King of Qi's lack of preparedness and suddenly led his troops to attack Qi.

King Qi was furious, believing that Li Shiqi was deceiving him, and had Li Shiqi boiled alive. This incident caused Liu Bang to bear the blame for injustice.

Also, the Battle of Gaixia,

At that time, Liu Bang did not have a large army.

He desperately needed Han Xin's help. Han Xin was stationed in Qi and had more than 30 troops, but Han Xin was reluctant to send troops.

Liu Bang then asked Zhang Liang, "What exactly does Han Xin mean? Does he want to watch me be eliminated by Xiang Yu?"

Zhang Liang said, "Your Majesty, at this point, everyone can see clearly that as long as Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Ying Bu lead their troops here, Xiang Yu will undoubtedly be defeated."

The key question is, what benefits could they gain after Xiang Yu's defeat?

You need to give a clear statement. If you don't, people will be confused and won't be able to come.

"What do you mean? Do I have to make them kings and give them land?" Liu Bang asked rhetorically.

Zhang Liang said, "That's exactly what I meant. Sure enough, after Liu Bang made his promise, Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Ying Bu all led their troops to come and help him."

Because of this incident, Liu Bang had already decided to kill them, which was one of the fundamental reasons why Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Ying Bu were eventually eliminated by Liu Bang.

Li Shimin and Xu Hui were chatting about history when suddenly He Lian burst in from outside, kneeling on the ground: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Cai Xiang just came to say that Empress Zhangsun has vomited blood again."

However, to Xu Hui's surprise, Li Shimin's expression remained calm: "How much blood did the Empress vomit?"

"There's enough for one cup," He Lian replied.

"promise!"

He Lian agreed, stood up, and left.

Xu Hui frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, shouldn't you go and see the Empress?"

Li Shimin leaned back in his chair: "I don't know anything about medicine. Even if I went, I wouldn't be able to solve anything."

"No, that's Empress Zhangsun. Sun Simiao made it very clear back then that it would be very dangerous for Empress Zhangsun to vomit blood again, especially since she is already pregnant."
