There are a few words written in front:

Among the feudal dynasties in China for more than 2,000 years, the Han Dynasty was undoubtedly a very great dynasty, which not only ruled for an astonishing 405 years, but also left the foundation of "Han nationality", "Chinese language" and "Hanfu" for later generations.

In the history of more than 400 years in the Han Dynasty, the prime minister, as the leader of the ruling group of the dynasty, played an important role.

Based on this, Yue sorted out the life, allusions and anecdotes of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty through official historical books and folk miscellaneous notes such as Historical Records, Hanshu, Houhanshu and Zijian. , became the "big names".

As the first emperor of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang left a deep impression on people for his super power and personal charm.

However, it is very important that Liu Bang can become a champion, and Yan Wen, the first prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and Xiao He followed him all the way.

Yue can even say rudely that without Xiao He's repeated protection and support, Liu Bang may not even have the minimum capital to resist Qin.

Is it so exaggerated? There may be many moon friends who are confused, so read on patiently.

County leaders

In 257 BC, Handan, the capital of Zhao, was surrounded by Qin Jun, and Wei Wuji, king of Wei Xinling, and Huang Xie, king of Chu Chun Shen, sent troops to rescue Zhao. Zhao suffered heavy losses when the siege of Handan was lifted.

During this period, Zhao Xiang, the grandson of Qin, who was a proton in Handan, obtained an alien race. With the help of Lv Buwei, a big businessman from Wei, he successfully fled back to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and gained the trust of Mrs. Huayang, the wife of his father Qin An Guojun, and became the heir of Guzhu.

Won the alien is the later king of Qin Zhuang and the father of Ying Zheng, the first emperor in China history.

This year, a family named Xiao in Peifengyi (now Fengxian County, Jiangsu Province) gave birth to a son named Xiao He.

Although it was the end of the Warring States Period, there were frequent feuds among governors, but Xiao He was diligent and learned a lot about history since he was a child.

When he grew up, because Xiao He could write official documents without any flaws, he was elected as the chief official of Peixian county magistrate, and further studied the laws and regulations of past dynasties.

Although Xiao He is a county leader, he is easy-going, has no shelf and has a wide range of friends.

The jailer Cao Can, the driver Xia Houying, the butcher Fan Kuai and the drummer Zhou Bo are Xiao He's best friends.

But Liu Bang, who is older than Xiao He Dayi, has no proper job. Xiao He thinks that he has an extraordinary personality. He not only devotes himself to communication, but also uses his power to secretly protect him many times.

Two hundred yuan

In 22 1 year BC, Qin Jun conquered Qi and annexed six countries. Ying Zheng, the king of Qin, is called the emperor, and the history of establishing the Qin Dynasty is called Qin Shihuang.

Xiao He still works in Pei County, and there is not much change.

Later, Liu Bang became the curator of Surabaya Pavilion in Pei County, and Xiao He introduced him to officials in Pei County. Liu bang soon became familiar with it.

On one occasion, Liu Bang sent an active serviceman to Xianyang, and Pei County officials gave him 300 yuan. Only Xiao He gave him 500 yuan, and Liu Bang was very grateful.

When the Qin Empire went to surabaya county to be the governor, Xiao He ranked first in the assessment of officials, and he worked conscientiously and neatly.

Qin's proposal was intended to enlist Xiao He into the DPRK, but Xiao He didn't want to leave his hometown, and went to politely decline many times before being transferred.

Bao Lv Zhi

Soon, Liu Bang was ordered to escort a group of prisoners to Mount Li to repair the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, but not far from Pei County, many people escaped.

Liu Bang was puzzled because he could neither catch up with them nor control them.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Bang was suddenly enlightened. He estimated that the prisoners had escaped before they reached Mount Li, so when they arrived in osawa, Fengxian Township, Liu Bang stopped to drink. In the evening, he simply untied all the prisoners and let them escape.

The prisoners were originally thinking about sneaking around, but Liu Bang dared not leave as soon as he let go.

Everyone observed for a while and saw that Liu Bang did not have a dike. Many people dispersed in a hubbub, but a dozen strong men stayed and expressed their willingness to share life and death with Liu Bang.

Liu bang originally intended to escape from the world, so he took them to Mangdang Mountain and lived in seclusion for a while.

After learning that Liu Bang had let the prisoners escape, Pei County magistrate immediately sent someone to take Liu Bang's wife Lv Zhi to prison for punishment.

Xiao He knew that Liu Bang had committed a capital crime, and Lv Zhi was not spared. He quickly consulted with the warden Cao Can, and the two of them released Lv Zhi and Peixian county magistrate from prison together.

Since then, Xiao He has secretly helped Liu Bang's family for many times.

Peixian seeks relocation.

In 209 BC, because of the unbearable tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng, Guangwu and others rose up in osawa Township, and the anti-Qin movement progressed smoothly, and heroes from all over the world responded in succession, causing chaos in the world.

Xiao He pays close attention to the development of the situation. He often meets with Cao Can, Fan Kuai, Xia Houying, Zhou Bo and others, and keeps secret contact with Liu Bang in Mangdang Mountain.

Under the influence of anti-Qin voices in various places, many local officials also rebelled against the Qin court in an attempt to save themselves.

Peixian county magistrate also had this idea, so he called his men, Xiao He and others, to discuss the anti-Qin affair in secret.

Hearing this, the ho with Cao Can made an expression of eyes, two people together to peixian county suggested:

The meaning of Xiao He and Cao Can is simple: Pei County magistrate is an official of the Qin Dynasty. I'm afraid Peixian people won't listen to the anti-Qin, but please bring back the hero who fled before. As a result, the second Peixian people followed.

Pei county magistrate heard this and thought it was very reasonable, but there were many people fleeing in recent years. Who to find and where to find it?

Xiao He immediately recommended Liu Bang. He repeatedly expressed Liu Bang's reliability and hard work, implored Pei County magistrate to recall Liu Bang, and then pardoned him and hired him.

Pei county magistrate was embarrassed at first because of Liu Bang's capital crime, but on second thought, Liu Bang's capital crime was the capital crime of the Qin Dynasty. If he can sincerely oppose Qin, it is a very suitable candidate.

So Pei County magistrate sent Liu Bang's brother-in-law Fan Kuai to Mangdang Mountain to find Liu Bang.

Out of town

At this time, Liu Bang was the leader of hundreds of people. They will always be rubbing their hands and waiting for the opportunity. After understanding Fan Kuai's purpose, they immediately agreed.

Then, Liu Bang and Fan Kuai led the crowd to Peixian County. Unexpectedly, Peixian county magistrate saw that Liu Bang was outnumbered on the rostrum, fearing that he could not command the team, and might even lead the wolf into the room and be killed by Liu Bang.

Pei county magistrate ordered the closure of the city gate, and sent people to arrest Xiao He and Cao Can.

Liu Bang and others rushed to Peixian County at the gate, saw that the gate was closed, and knew that the city had changed, so they surrounded Peixian County and prepared to attack the city.

Just then, Xiao He and Cao Can climbed over the wall and fled to Liu Bang's camp outside the city.

Liu bang was overjoyed. After discussing with Xiao He, Liu Bang wrote a letter to his elders in Pei County in silk, and an arrow shot into the city.

In this letter to Peixian elders, Liu Bang said:

Liu bang is also an agitator. He called on the people of Peixian county not to follow Peixian county magistrate, but to get up and kill Peixian county magistrate to save their families.

Pei county people are usually very dissatisfied with Pei county magistrate. After reading Liu Bang's letter, they gathered to attack the county government, killed the county magistrate of Pei County, and opened the city gate to meet Liu Bang.

many

After Liu Bang entered Pei County, he called his elders in Pei County to discuss plans. Many people elected Liu Bang as the county magistrate of Pei County and opposed the independence of Qin State.

Liu admitted that he didn't have a high reputation in Peixian County, and he was also worried that the people in Peixian County had no sincerity, so he refused:

Liu bang asked everyone to choose other talents. Xiao He and Cao Can usually do a lot of good deeds and become candidates for some people.

However, Xiao He and Cao Can are both civil servants. They are worried that if this activity is not successful, they will not only lose their lives in vain, but also be destroyed by Qin Ting, so they will try their best to recommend Liu Bang as their superior.

However, no matter how they persuaded him, Liu Bang repeatedly refused to be appointed as the county magistrate of Pei County.

Just then, someone put forward a suggestion:

Since Liu Bang doesn't want to shoulder this heavy responsibility, it's better to draw lots to write the names of the most prestigious 10 people in Pei County, including Liu Bang, and then tell the world, and finally find out who is the well-deserved Pei County magistrate.

When Xiao He saw this, he thought of a way. He said to everyone: "This method is very good. Let God decide who is the county magistrate of Pei County. But let me write the name of the candidate. "

People in Pei county all know Xiao He has been in the county government for many years, and he is meticulous. Let him be prepared.

After everything was ready, Xiao He said to the crowd, "Liu Bang is the most popular person, so I think he should be invited to receive this lottery."

So, in the applause of everyone, Liu Bang saluted the sky, and then drew lots and unfolded it in public. His name is on it.

Xiao He stepped forward quickly, grabbed a handful left on the plate, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and then said loudly, "Liu Bang has come out, and God has come back!"

This time, Liu Bang no longer refused. Let's toast.

Xiao He and others set up an altar in the lobby of the county government, set up a red flag and vowed to fight against the Qin uprising, calling Liu Bang "Pei Gong".

Later, Liu Bangcai knew that the original 10 lots written by Xiao He were all Liu Bangcai's names. Liu Bang knew that Xiao He really supported himself and trusted him more.

After Liu, he expanded his influence to neighboring counties and counties, and soon it grew to more than 3,000 people.

As the Chengdu of Liu Bang, Xiao He undertook a lot of logistics work and started a new legend.

Yue said to the comment:

In Pei County, Xiao He's social status has always been better than Lius Pongoh's, but he took good care of Liu Bang.

At the critical moment of Liu Bang's anti-Qin campaign, Xiao He used his quick wits and made the final decision, which also made his position in Liu Bang's heart more important.

This, it is Xiao He's excellence!
