The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, as one of the four ancient masterpieces in China, is sought after by many people who like the history of the Three Kingdoms, and we all know that there are many differences between the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the real history, and even some facts are contradictory. But about Liu Bei's birth, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are surprisingly consistent, they all say that Liu Bei is the descendant of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, many people don't know King Jing of Zhongshan, but they know Liu Bang, why Liu Bei is a relative of the Han family, not a descendant of Liu Bang? Wouldn't it be easier to recruit merit?
There are three main reasons why Liu Bei calls himself the queen of Zhongshan Jing and does not call Liu Bang's descendants, first, Liu Bang's identity is inconsistent with Liu Bei's identity, second, Liu Bei's birthplace is the same as Liu Sheng's birthplace, which is easier to believe, and third, Zhongshan Jing's descendants are numerous and have complicated branches, which are not easy to find out, and Liu Bang's descendants are all recorded by historians, and the side branches are not easy to be faked.
Liu Bang is the founder of the Western Han Dynasty, as the founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, even at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bang is also the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, because the time span is too large, Liu Bei directly said that he is Liu Bang's descendants The credibility is also very low, Liu Bang's descendants are considered royal relatives and nobles, even if they may have lived a little poor after reproduction, but they will definitely not be reduced to selling straw shoes for a living. If you call Liu Bang's descendants, anyone who has read a little will think that Liu Bei is lying, and after Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, the identity is easier to believe.
Liu Sheng, as a vassal king, has many descendants, and has had 21 sons, and one of the sons Liu Zhen's fief is in Liu Bei's birthplace.
Although Liu Bang is more than a little more famous than Liu Sheng, the identity of Liu Bang's descendants is easier to trace, and there are traces to follow if you want to find out, after all, as a royal bloodline, the historian will definitely not have one party's negligence, and it will definitely be recorded. As a vassal king, Liu Sheng, due to his many heirs, is quite complicated, some places will not be so serious, and even some vague, Liu Bei's identity is not easy to be confirmed, and he can also raise troops in the name of the Han clan to recruit talents, which is also Liu Bei's shrewdness.
