Liu Boji (2 BC-30 AD) was born in Cai Yang, Nanyang (now southwest of Zaoyang City, Xiangyang City, Hubei Province) in the first year of Yuanshou in the Western Han Dynasty (2 BC). He is the ninth grandson of Emperor Gaozu and the seventh grandson of Han Jing. Father Liu Qin, the county magistrate of Southampton (now Southampton, Henan Province), is the daughter of Fan Zhong, the richest man in Huyang (now Huyang Town, tanghe county, Nanyang City, Henan Province).
The life of the character
Ji Bo has six brothers and sisters, eldest brother Ada, second brother Liu Zhong, third brother (Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty), eldest sister Huang Liu and second sister Liu Yuan. In the ranking, Liu Xiuju is fifth and Ji Bo is sixth. After his parents died, Liu Xiu was 9 years old and Ji Bo was 4 years old. Uncle Liu Liang brought them back from Nantun to Baishui Township, Nanyang (now the south of Zaoyang City, Xiangyang City, Hubei Province) for raising.
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the national situation declined, Wang Mang usurped the government, imposed exorbitant taxes, suffered successive years of wheat famine, and peasant uprisings surged. In the third year of Emperor Xin Mang's reign (AD 22), Ji Bo's eldest brother Ada and third brother Liu Xiu, as well as the sons of Li Shouzhi, Li Tong and Li, and the new dynasty Zongqing Division (an official who mastered the discipline of imperial clan children) also rose up. Together with outlaws, they attacked Lan Xiang, Kewancheng, Kunyang and Wuguan, and finally overthrew Xin Mang and established the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In this great historical change, although Liu Boji was an aristocratic scholar, he also showed great wisdom and courage. After the Han army attacked Fuling, it won many battles. Ada was eager to destroy the barbarians, and his mind swelled. Ignoring the fact that you are outnumbered, and not listening to the dissuasion of Deng Yu and others, you attacked Wancheng (now Nanyang) by yourself. As a result, Xiao Chang 'an Village (now south of Nanyang, Henan Province) was ambushed by Zhen Fu, chief of Nanyang, Liang Changqiu, a surname, and Lu Zhi, a partial general.
Battlefield ShaSheng everywhere, countless han army soldiers and their families fell in a pool of blood. Liu Zhong died in the battle. His aunt who raised Liu Xiu and Ji Bo (Liu Liang's wife) and her children were also killed, and the Han army was defeated. Liu Xiu and Ji Bo's brother and sister rode together to break through. Just between the lines, they saw a group of officers and men picking their second sister Liu Yuan and two unreasonable nieces. Seeing that his relatives were killed, Liu Xiu immediately drew his sword and tried to fight his old friend.
At this critical juncture, Ji Bo shouted: "Third brother, third brother! You calm down. Calm down. We can't all die. Who will avenge his death! " After listening to the little sister's voice, Liu Xiucai choked back tears and shouted: "Second sister!" The prancing horse rushed out of the encirclement.
Although I witnessed the death of my loved one and I was in great danger, Liu Boji didn't have the slightest fear or hesitation. She still puts Liu Xiu's safety first. Even in the ever-changing battlefield, she still shows the blood of the Liu family who is not afraid of sacrifice. How can it not be admirable?
