Feng Bao and Yin Bao nodded.
They know this history.
"At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the most eye-catching event was the Chu-Han Contention between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. However, Xiang Yu..." Feng Bao paused, and finally said nothing, "Besieged on all sides, Xiang Yu was besieged and met a regretful end.
Liu Bang became the ultimate winner, continuing the Qin Shi Huang's imperial system and becoming the ruler of the world."
Late Qin Dynasty
Although Xiang Yu knew that he would fail early on, he still felt uncomfortable when it was brought up in such detail.
He really didn't understand how that reckless Liu Bang succeeded and how he defeated him!
"Your Majesty."
Yu Ji saw that he was upset, so she poured him some wine and handed it to him, "Yu Ji has a letter to the king."
Xiang Yu's expression softened. "Last time, that Liu Bang was lucky. This time, hmph."
This time, Xiang Yu was determined to kill Liu Bang.
At this time, Liu Bang was sitting on the ground with his head down, surrounded by Zhang Liang and others who looked calm.
"That reckless Xiang Yu must be thinking about killing me right now."
If Zhou Jia had not appeared, he could still pretend in front of Xiang Yu, but now that everything has been exposed, that reckless man will definitely not leave him alone.
"ovary……"
Liu Bang's voice was full of resentment.
Zhang Liang almost couldn't hold back the smile on his face.
Can't you just talk nicely? Why are you yelling so affectionately?
After Zhou Jia's repeated reminders, he is now really afraid of those with the surname Liu.
"There's still a chance, don't panic."
We haven't reached the end of our rope yet.
Besides, Xiang Yu's impulsive temper cannot be changed overnight. As long as they can ensure their own personal safety, Xiang Yu is not a big deal.
His temper and personality have already doomed him to go nowhere.
The King of Western Chu was the best ending of his life.
With Zhang Liang's words, Liu Bang breathed a sigh of relief.
In the Xianyang Palace, Liu Ji sat on the ground carefree and listened to Zhou Jia telling another story about himself.
Seeing him like this, Gongzi Gao couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you worried?"
Liu Ji was puzzled, "What are you worried about?"
During this period, Gongzi Gao read the most history books and knew a lot about the Chu-Han contention.
"If your story is exposed, Xiang Yu will not be able to keep you here. Aren't you worried about your own safety in the other world?"
Why is this question again?
I get asked every time.
"Don't worry. He is him and I am me. We are not from the same world. What is there to worry about?"
Life and death are determined by fate.
Why bother with that?
Gongzi Gao looked at him and said, "He is indeed an extraordinary person."
This mentality is unique.
On the screen, Zhou Jia continued.
"Of course you have learned so much at such a young age."
Zhou Jia was shocked.
When she was three years old, she was still playing in the mud, but these little ones already knew the general outline of history.
“You have to learn all this.”
Feng Bao didn't feel shocked at all.
They had to learn various etiquettes from a young age, and they had to learn calligraphy, music, riding and archery. It was just that he mastered them a little faster than others.
"You're too modest." Zhou Jia sighed.
It’s true that comparison makes one feel thief of frustration.
"You're right. The most outstanding figures in the late Qin Dynasty were Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. There was also a very exciting duel between them called the Hongmen Banquet, a very exciting duel.
The content of the Hongmen Banquet is in the Chinese textbook, you can check it out yourself.
Since we are mainly discussing the Han Dynasty, we will not talk about Xiang Yu for now. We will have the opportunity to tell you more about the Chu-Han Contention later."
Chinese
Liu Bang was happy, and even deliberately coughed dryly before starting to attract the attention of all the court officials, and then pretended not to be himself and looked at the screen quietly.
The meaning is obvious.
Listen carefully to me.
The court officials below also knew his character and immediately began to praise him with all kinds of flattery.
The smile on Liu Bang's face grew bigger and bigger.
good.
Who doesn't like to hear people praising themselves?
"We mentioned before that after Liu Bang became emperor, he implemented the parallel system of counties and kingdoms. Liu Bang also granted fiefs to many people back then. After all, many of them were people who followed him to conquer the world, so he had to give them some benefits.
However, this involves the most fundamental issue. Enfeoffment means that the so-called princes below can develop their own power, which is a particularly big threat to the central government.
I think all the Liu family emperors have deeply understood this. The issue of enfeoffed princes was not resolved until Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, implemented the Enfeoffment Order. So let's digress a little and talk about the importance of Liu Bang continuing the system of Ying Zheng.
Liu Bang: ...
Is this referring to him or the First Emperor?
Under the sky, many people shook their heads silently.
"He's just too partial to Ying Zheng. He never forgets to bring him up. The Han Dynasty is clearly the host today, but His Majesty the First Emperor appears a bit too many times."
But this time they really wronged Zhou Jia.
Zhou Jia brought this up this time to explain to everyone that although Liu Bang gave people the image of a gangster most of the time, he was still very good at certain things.
But it seems that everyone misunderstood Zhou Jia's meaning.
Zhu Houzhao, the conspicuous package, appeared again at this time. [Just as you said, the emperor likes counties and the nobles like to divide the land.]
So the two are inherently opposites, and the contradiction is irreconcilable.
Zhou Jia nodded. "Yes, that's right. The emperor wants to hold power firmly in his own hands, and the nobles want their rights to be protected. It's rare for their interests to coincide. When Ying Zheng insisted on the county system, it shook the nobles' cake. Chunyu Yue and his penmen insisted on the feudal system. Ying Zheng was criticized to the point of being completely destroyed.
Interestingly, Xiang Yu, who destroyed the Qin Dynasty, was a man who insisted on enfeoffment. This can be seen from his calling himself the Overlord of Western Chu. Xiang Yu was indeed particularly fond of enfeoffment.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu was particularly dissatisfied with Zhou Jia's constant mention of him, saying, "This Zhou Jia really deserves a beating today."
What does it mean to keep calling him out?
Zhou Jia continued, "From our perspective today, enfeoffment is a step backward in history, so Xiang Yu's failure was inevitable. And Liu Bang, although he looked like a scoundrel with no skills, it cannot be denied that he did have a keen sense of politics."
After hearing this, Liu Bang nodded in satisfaction.
That’s right, praise him more, he likes to hear it.
Che Bao also nodded.
After all, we are praising our ancestors, so we should show our respect.
"So we have a saying in later generations." Zhou Jia's smile had become a little perverse. "We basically all say that Hu Hai was a fake Qin Er Shi, and the real Qin Er Shi was Liu Bang. Liu Bang continued the system and ambitions of Qin Shi Huang. Although he failed to fully implement the county system, he did the best he could within his capabilities. He was a very powerful person."
