Heroes are the most sensitive group in history, and almost every dynasty in history has staged a game between the founding emperor and the heroes, but in fact, the three heroes of Chu and Han have already given several templates for the fate of heroes, but later generations have not used them for reference.
First of all, the reason why there is an existential crisis for heroes is because of the military merits and huge prestige they have accumulated in the process of participating in entrepreneurship, coupled with their dividends in the new dynasty, which are enough to support them to continue to control the fate of the world, so the founding emperor will be jealous of them and then suppress them.
Han Xin in the early Han Dynasty laid half of the country for Liu Bang, Xiao He built a stable rear for Liu Bang and supported Liu Bang to defeat Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang always gave Liu Bang constructive advice at critical moments, so that Liu Bang could always walk on the right path, without them, it is likely that there would be no Han.
But their prestige, strength, and position also reached its peak with the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, and they could completely transform this advantage into internal fighting in the event that the foreign enemy was destroyedor subvert Liu Bang's empire;Either engage in factional struggles and consume the big men
As a result, it was fatal to the big man.
Therefore, there will inevitably be a game between Liu Bang and the heroes.
The first target was Han Xin, because Han Xin was not only the god of war and the best in the world, but also the king of Chu, and he had enough resources in his hands to be able to call Liu Bang Dahan, if Han Xin was dissatisfied with Liu Bang, Dahan would immediately rekindle the war. Even if Han Xin is not opposed to Liu Bang, it will always be a disaster to keep it, and the successor will not be his opponent.
So,Whether it is the contradiction between the emperor and the meritorious heroes, or the contradiction between the imperial court and the princes and kings with different surnames, Liu Bang must solve the problem of Han Xin
In fact, as early as the period of the Chu-Han dispute, Liu Bang was already suppressing Han Xin:The appointment of Cao Shen and Guan Ying as Han Xin's vice generals is out of consideration for the purpose of counterbalancing Han Xin;Han Shin's soldiers were often transferred because they wanted Han Shin's troops to never form a climate
Moreover, Liu Bang's first action after the Battle of Qixia was to seize Han Xin's military power. Liu Bang's suspicion of Han Xin can be seen from this.
In short, Liu Bang's war against Han Xin had already begun, and after the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, it was only a full-scale war, which evolved from the battlefield to the political level.
So there was the fact that Liu Bang took the opportunity of touring the princes of the Yunmeng Conference to arrest Han Xin. After cutting off Han Xin's title as King of Chu and placing him under house arrest in Chang'an, Han Xin was actually abolished.
As for why Empress Lu insisted on killing Han Xin, it was because she was afraid that she would not be able to control Han Xin after Liu Bang's death, so she solved the problem in advance, which was the result of the contradiction between the court and the heroes.
Yes,Han Xin is the fate of the hero, his tragedy will be staged countless times in history in the future, and the fate of Zhu Yuanzhang Huaixi is a reproduction of Han Xin's tragedy.
To be honest, Han Xin's tragedy is difficult to avoid, because he does not belong to Liu Bang's core Huaisi Yuancong group, and he is also the identity of a prince with a different surname, and he has the ability to do it, and the contradiction between him and Liu Bang is almost unsolvable, even if he disintegrates and returns to the field to adjust himself to silent mode, it may not be avoidable.
Of course, there is a second fate for heroes, that is, they completely surrender under the suppression of the emperor, such as Xiao He. Xiao He is the existence second only to Liu Bang in the Han army, especially in the process of building and building the base camp of Shu and Guanzhong, Xiao He has engraved his influence into the genes of the Han Dynasty, if he has any ideas, Liu Bang will be difficult to deal with.
To a certain extent,As long as Xiao He's loyalty to Liu Bang is not enough, his threat is even greater than Xiang Yu's
Therefore, as early as when Chu and Han were fighting, Liu Bang was all kinds of uneasy about Xiao He, and often sent envoys to Xiao He is various greetings, even after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang also cared about Xiao Cheng on the front line.
To put it bluntly, Liu Bang was afraid that Xiao He would make trouble in the rear.
At this time, if Xiao He handles this matter emotionally, then he is likely to replicate Han Xin's tragic fate. But Xiao He used his wisdom to provide history with a set of ways to resolve contradictionsSend your children and grandchildren to the front to relieve Liu Bang's scruples;The use of self-pollution to reassure Liu Bang
Even after Liu Bang locked himself up for a period of time, Xiao He still had a sincere attitude of fearing that he would take care of his mistakes, which could be regarded as dispelling Liu Bang's suspicion of himself.
Yes, Xiao He's countermeasure is:Self-defilement, surrender
Since then, many people in history have protected themselves according to Xiao He's practices, and Wei Chi Jingde and Li Jing in the early Tang Dynasty either indulged in poetry and wine or swallowed the emperor's suspicion of themselves, with only one purpose, to reassure the leaders of themselves.
It can be seen that Xiao He's approach is indeed a very effective method that can be continuously copied. If the hero uses a tough way to fight the emperor, it can only be Han Xin's end.
Also, the practice of Zeng Guofan in the Qing Dynasty was also relatively mature. When the Hunan army conquered Tianjing City, Zeng Guofan began to dismantle the Hunan army and forced his younger brother Zeng Guoquan to go home to rest, in order to dispel Cixi and the Qing court's concerns about him.
In the face of the surging accusations against himself by Cixi and the Qing court, Zeng Guofan also had a tolerant attitude of beating his teeth and swallowing blood, which finally won Cixi's reassurance of himself.
Like Xiao He, they are all absolute surrenders and self-abandoning the rhythm of martial arts.
Of course, compared to Xiao He's approach, Zhang Liang's rank is higher. When Liu Bang divided the fief, he asked Zhang Liang to randomly select 30,000 households from Qi as his fief, but Zhang Liang only wanted the land where he and Liu Bang met for the first time as a fief.
It seems to be an attitude of treating money as dung, but in fact, it is also conveying another meaning to Liu Bang: "I am even less interested in power." ”
Such a hero, it's too late to be moved, how can there be the idea of a blow.
Then, Zhang Liang gave the meritorious group a set of the most classic self-protection practices with practical actions:Fade out of the circle of power and hide yourself
He doesn't want money and power, and you Liu Bang is still not at ease with Zhang Liang, so it can only be sensitive and suspicious. Even the suspicious and vicious Empress Lu later reassured Zhang Liang a hundred times. It can be seen that Zhang Liang's self-preservation technique is clever.
But after all, there are only a few people who can do this, and there are only a few people in history, such as Fan Li and Zhang Liang. After all, everyone is the majority driven by fame.
On the contrary, Zhang Juzheng's approach was a bit unwise, although he successfully extended the life of the Ming Dynasty through reform, but the long-term large-scale package still made everyone aim the spear in their hands at him, and he did not have a shield in his hand to defend, which finally led to the result that the Zhang family was raided by the Wanli Emperor after his death.
Although Zhang Juzheng's tragedy is related to the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty, if Zhang Juzheng had been able to retreat bravely, perhaps the tragedy would have been avoided.
Of course, some emperors will also come up with some more reasonable ways to solve the contradictions between themselves and the heroes, such as:Qin Shi Huang relied on the system design to ensure the absolute obedience of the meritorious group to the Great Qin, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty balanced the newly rising heroes by supporting his relatives to constantly exchange blood, and Zhao Kuangyin exchanged wealth for power in the hands of meritorious heroes
But this is only a minority after all, because, under different conditions, people also have different personalities and volumes.
But overall,If the hero wants to land smoothly, he definitely needs the support of wisdom and heart
The fate of heroes in history is basically just the three sets of templates of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty.
