Chapter 11 Chapter Two

Once, it happened that Qin Shihuang set out from Xianyang for a tour team. It was really majestic. Tens of thousands of people made a gesture. Liu Bang was so moved that he couldn't help blurting out: "This is what a man should do." The corner pavilion is long, stepping on the black and white road The pavilion is the local administrative unit of the Qin Dynasty, and Pei Si's "Historical Records Collection" in the Liu Song Dynasty said: "Qin Fa, ten miles and one pavilion, ten pavilions and one township, the pavilion chief, the official in charge of the pavilion... If the people have disputes, the pavilion chief will mediate or judge..."

The head of the booth is similar to the current position of the supervisor of the police station and the magistrate. At the end of Qin Dynasty, one pavilion managed ten miles, about 250 households, and the power was not small.The pavilion is an official office, and the pavilion chief also has an office. In an autocratic society, it can be regarded as a very prestigious position. The task of the head of the pavilion is mainly to receive officials. At the same time, he also has to inspect vagrants and arrest thieves to maintain law and order. Receiving officials is a hard job for Liu Bang. Fortunately, there are not many officials in the pavilion. They are also some anti-theft officials. These people are not high-status, and their personalities are more heroic. Liu Bang can easily call them brothers and sisters.

For the latter job, Liu Bang is quite competent.As a commoner, he made friends with many corner brothers, and he was no stranger to the underworld. In addition, he was influenced by Cao Shen's slanderous attitude in governing the city, Liu Bang also knew how to take precautions.Therefore, during his tenure, although some minor cases were unavoidable in Surabaya Pavilion, there were no major mistakes. In the pavilion, besides the head of the pavilion, Liu Bang, there are dozens of "Ting fathers" and "begging robbers", but they are all servants and belong to civilian status. For him who always likes to exaggerate, naturally he must try to perform well."

First, he made a "crown" for himself. At that time, the "crown" was a hat that could only be worn by "scholars", and ordinary people could only use "towels" to tie their hair. Therefore, a person with a "crown" represented that he had status and status. In the Warring States period, there were many "officials held by scholars, so in principle, "officials" can be done with crowns." So Liu Bang decided to use bamboo skin to make long crowns similar to those worn by the nobles of Chu State, and sent the "seeking robbers" in the pavilion to go to Xue County, which is a top-notch crown maker, to order.

This "pavilion chief's crown makes Liu Bang look like a high-ranking official. It is difficult for people who don't know him to see that he is just a pavilion chief." It is said that Liu Bang liked this crown very much and wore it all his life. Even if he became the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty in the future, he would still wear this "crown" in his leisure time, so it was called "Liu's Crown". It's just a crown that insists on it like this, which shows that Liu Bang's personality is not light, although he is occasionally a little sloppy, but he is actually quite assertive and persistent.

Since "there are quite a few friends in the officialdom, now that he is the head of the pavilion, he can use this to show off his personal connections. "Historical Records" records that he "officials in the court are always insulting", which shows that the way he makes friends is not The "friends of gentlemen" who are as light as water are "friends of villains" who hang shoulders and backs, laughing and insulting, so the status of the other party is mostly not high." Liu Bang, who didn't have to work and wandered around when he was young, naturally developed the habit of going to restaurants and other sensual places.

Now that he is the head of the pavilion, there are more black and white brothers, and he needs to socialize even more, so he often invites friends to drink in restaurants in Peicheng.His favorite place to go is the small wine shop owned by Grandma Wang and Mrs. Wu. Because he doesn't have much money on hand and has a generous personality, he often needs to pay on credit.However, the two wine shop owners welcomed him very much, even if the wine money was owed forever. Why is there such a good thing?According to the records in "Historical Records", Liu Bang didn't drink much, and the wine tasted good, and he got drunk easily. When he was drunk, he slept in the wine shop. The two bosses often saw the shadow of a dragon attached to him at this time. Therefore, giving preferential treatment is of course a myth created by later generations.

Because Liu Bangkui is strong and popular, friends who like to approach him and make friends with him often go to restaurants to drink, and Liu Bang, who is very lively, will naturally try his best to greet these people kindly.As a result, more and more people like to come to these two wine shops, and Liu Bang has become a "voluntary social man of the wine shop, no wonder the two owners especially welcome him." In addition, Liu Bang's wine tasted good, so he slept in the wine shop when he was drunk, and his friends had to continue drinking when he woke up. The consumption increased a lot, and the two bosses naturally laughed.

In fact, Liu Bang is also very generous. When paying for wine, he often tips several times, which is a lot of false accounts.The two bosses got a lot of benefits from him, and they always felt that their conscience could not bear it. At the end of the year, they automatically destroyed the bills to please Liu Bang, hoping that Liu Bang would continue to support him. Of course, there is Liu Bang, who is the head of the pavilion, and ordinary gangsters would not dare to come here to make trouble. Liu Bang can also be regarded as a guest and bodyguard. Seeing Wang Fengfan, a man should do the same

Although his behavior is unrestrained, Liu Bang, like Chen Sheng, has great ambitions since he was young. Chen Sheng's ambition is more or less a struggle to get out of the predicament of life, but Liu Bang is born with strength. Taking Mr. Xinling as an example, we can see that Liu Bang is different. After becoming the head of the pavilion, he often went to Xianyang on business, and always took the opportunity to stay for two more days, wandering around, absorbing the atmosphere of the big political environment, and broadening his knowledge. Once, I happened to meet Qin Shihuang's patrol team starting from Xianyang. It was really majestic and tens of thousands of people made a gesture. Liu Bang was so moved that he couldn't help blurting out: "This is what a man should do!"

Perhaps it was this opportunity, coupled with the experience of being an "official" in the past few years, that gave Liu Bang the ambition to spy on the world. Ambition and insight have increased Liu Bang's natural leadership, and always made his friends respect him more without knowing it. However, after returning to Peixian County, Liu Bang was laughing and insulting again. During a prank, a big trouble arose between him and Xia Houying. At this time, Xia Houying had been promoted to be a trial county magistrate. One day, the two played a game of swords, and Liu Bang cut Xia Houying by accident.This incident happened to be seen by other county officials, and they reported that Liu Bang intentionally hurt "public officials." As the head of the pavilion, but hurting his colleagues, according to the Qin law, not only will he be dismissed, but he will also be sentenced to a felony. Therefore, Liu Bang refused to admit that Xia Houying was injured by him. The county magistrate in charge ordered a thorough investigation, and the only witness was Xia Houying himself. But in order to protect Liu Bang, Xia Houying insisted on not revealing who hurt him, so he was tortured hundreds of times for the crime of "failing to report what he knew and hiding criminals", and was sent to prison for more than one year. " Because Xia Houying gritted his teeth and refused to push back, and Xiao He and Cao Shen helped Liu Bang to get rid of the crime completely, he kept the "leadership" of the pavilion chief. Meet a nobleman by chance and get a beautiful lady However, it was the Duke Lu incident that had the greatest effect on improving Liu Bang's identity, status, and reputation. In Shanfu County, Runan District, there was a famous person named Lu Gong. Lu Gong was generous and generous, and had great influence in the local area. Therefore, he offended the evil forces of the local aristocrats and had to move his family to Pei County. Because Lu Gong and the county magistrate of Peixian County were old friends, they immediately became distinguished guests. In addition, Lu Gong was well-known and good-looking, and all the officials in Peixian County wanted to take the opportunity to make friends with him. VIPs are welcome, and the host also has face, so the county magistrate specially organized a welcome banquet for Lu Gong, so that Lu Gong can have a more formal meeting with the elders and officials of Pei County. Unexpectedly, there were so many people who signed up for the banquet, there were not enough seats for the banquet, and there were too many monks and too few congee, which made the county magistrate very headache. In order to avoid crowding, Xiao He divided the seats into several equal parts, including VIP seats and "economy class", and announced that the VIPs with He Jinqian and above can enter the inner hall to meet Lu Gong directly, and the rest wait for Lu Gong in the outer hall and vestibule. Come out and say hi to everyone." Everyone saw that Xiao He was serious, and they didn't dare to argue. Those who are capable enter the inner seat, and others who have grievances sit outside temporarily. Chief Ting is not big, and his income is not much, and he usually just sits outside, but Liu Bang doesn't care about his official position. He always likes to joke, so he went straight into the inner room and shouted: "He Jin Wanqian!" In fact, Liu Bang didn't have a dime on him, but he still boldly asked to see Lu Gong. The person responsible for the reception felt very embarrassed and didn't know how to deal with it. Lu Gong was surprised to hear that someone was so generous, and he turned his attention to Liu Bang, but he couldn't help being surprised by the appearance of this prodigal handsome man. He immediately stood up and went to the door to meet Liu Bang in person. It turned out that Lu Gong was quite good at physiognomy—especially face was the criterion for knowing people at that time. Liu Bang, who had an extraordinary appearance at first sight, was moved by his strange appearance and imposing manner on the spot. Xiao He, the leader of the reception team, knew Liu Bang's details well, and seeing that the joke was getting too big, he had to come forward to help him out. He embarrassedly said to Lu Gong: "Liu Ji is such an exaggerated person, he doesn't know how to do things properly, so don't argue with him." Lu Gong smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, he is sincere enough." So Lu Gong kindly introduced Liu Bang into the inner hall, and let him sit in the most honorable position beside him.Liu Bangke was not polite at all. In front of the senior officials of the county government, he chatted and laughed with Mr. Lu graciously, like an old friend. During the banquet, Lu Gong hinted to Liu Bang not to leave early with his eyes several times. Obviously, he had something to tell, and Liu Bang understood his meaning, so he stayed there until after the banquet. However, only Xiao He, who knew Liu Bang deeply, was greatly surprised by Lu Gong's behavior. After seeing off all the guests, Lu Gong took Liu Bang into the back hall; and introduced Lu Gong's wife and daughter Lu Zhi for him. Lu Zhi retreated into the back room, and Lu Gong said to Liu Bang in front of his wife: "When I was young, I was fond of physiognomy. I have accumulated so many years of experience, and I have a special experience in face-to-face. But among the many faces I have seen, no one can be like you. I hope you will not be arrogant and should work hard to establish own business." Liu Bang, who has always been generous, was dumbfounded by these words, and didn't know how to answer for a while. Lu Gong said more clearly: "My daughter, you have seen her before, if you don't give up, I would like to serve you as Liu Ji's wife for the rest of my life." Lu Pheasant will be Empress Lu in the future. At that time, she was still a pure, lovely, delicate and beautiful girl. Liu Bang, who was in her thirties and still unmarried, was so happy that she agreed. On the other hand, Mrs. Lu, who was next to her, was taken aback. She really didn't have a good impression of this unprogressive middle-aged man. Out of her love for women, she didn't care about being polite, so she directly questioned Mr. Lu: "Didn't you usually say that my daughter is a noble person and you should not accept it casually. A few days ago, the county magistrate wanted to accept her as a concubine, but you refused in person. You are not afraid of offending high-ranking officials. Why did you give it to Liu Ji so casually?" Lu Gong was slightly angry and said: "This kind of thing is not something you women will understand." Mrs. Lu saw that Mr. Lu was not happy, so she had no choice but to stop objecting. At the insistence of his father, Lu Zhi married Liu Bang, the head of the pavilion in Surabaya, who had a low official position and poor performance. However, Lu Gong's ability to know people is superior to others after all. He seems to firmly believe that Liu Bang must have a great day. This matter also made Xiao He, who was watching coldly, have to re-evaluate Liu Bang again.At first, he only thought that Liu Bang might be a hero in troubled times and intended to cultivate him, but now he vaguely discovered that Liu Bang might have potential that others didn't understand! Mysterious Personality, Mysterious Fate There are many magical legends about Liu Bang's fate, and perhaps most of these are far-fetched fabrications by later generations. Because Liu Bang's background is really bad, and from the point of view of traditional evaluation figures, Liu Bang's ability does not seem to be worthy of praise Yes, the only thing is that he looks quite "photogenic, so everyone has to see him as the "right man"." There is such a story recorded in "Historical Records": It is said that Lu Zhi was ordered by his father to marry Liu Bang, so he and her husband returned to live with her in-laws. The appearance of the delicate wife is quite strong, perhaps influenced by her father, Lu Zhi also believes that Liu Bang will surely become a great event. Unlike ordinary wives, Lu Zhi can appreciate Liu Bang's big and transformed character very much, for him, any sacrifice can be tolerated, so she is willing to change from a daughter of a thousand gold to a farmer's woman in the field, which is not something ordinary women can do. Liu Bang also loves this beautiful lady very much, seeing her go to the fields in person, he couldn't bear it even more. In the past, her profligate habits have subsided a lot. Whenever there is a chance, she will sneak back home for several years.Especially after giving birth to two children, Liu Bang's shifts became more frequent. It is said that one day, Lu Zhi and his two young children were weeding in the field when an old man who looked like a traveler came slowly. "Sister-in-law, can I have some tea?" Lu Zhi, who has a good tutor and is quite considerate, saw that the old man looked exhausted, so he not only gave him tea, but also gave the old man a part of his lunch. During the meal, the old man looked at Lu Zhi with surprise on his face, and sighed happily: "Madam's face is one of the most precious in the world." Because it was the same as what his father often said, Lu Zhi was very interested, so he asked the old man to share the future fate of the two children. Seeing the eldest son, the old man was even more surprised and said: "Based on this son's appearance, the madam's extravagance comes from the blessing of this young master." Lu Zhi will take a look at his daughter again. The old man nodded and said: "It is also the fate of the nobleman." After speaking, he picked up his crutches and walked away slowly. Just in the afternoon of this day, Liu Bang also skipped work and went home to visit his wife and children, only about an hour before the old man left. Lu Zhi then told Liu Bang what the old man said.Liu Bang was greatly surprised, and immediately followed the old man's direction to catch up. Soon, I saw the back of an old man. "Old man, please stay!" The old man turned around and saw Liu Bang's face. Before Liu Bang could speak, he exclaimed: "Just now I saw the noble appearance of the wife and the baby, and I was very puzzled. It turned out to be related to you. Your Excellency is extremely noble, and it is not comparable to ordinary people." Liu Bang was very happy to hear this and said: "If it is true as the old man said, I will never forget your kindness when I have a great day!" Later, when Liu Bang came to the throne, he sent people to look for the old man, but no matter how hard he tried, he was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps it is also the repeated occurrence of "the noble minister's statement that enabled Liu Bang to persevere, become more courageous in frustration, and finally achieve great success." But after these events, Liu Bang did change. Although there is less time for wandering, but because he needs to make friends with black and white as the head of the pavilion, he not only expands his personal connections, but also makes himself more powerful. Even Xiao He felt that Liu Bang's leadership was becoming more and more mature. He said to his friends: "Liu Ji doesn't seem to have any special talent, but like an empty object, he is more inclusive of all kinds of talents. Being able to attract more people to support him is the favorable condition for him to succeed more easily." No position, no baggage, and an open-minded and cheerful personality make Liu Bang extremely malleable. Coupled with his rare personal charm, he is destined to become a hero in troubled times. Leading the army to Beijing, the pavilion chief became a wanted criminal In the later years of Qin Shihuang's reign, a large amount of manpower and material resources were used to conquer the Xiongnu and build the Great Wall. In addition to the original projects of repairing the Chi Road, the palace and the Lishan Mausoleum, the government's original manpower was simply insufficient, so it had to be allocated by the people. Recruit a lot of labor. In the early years, although the Qin law was strict, it was very cautious about dispatching people to labor.Because decrees are used to gather national power, the most important thing is not to violate the farming season, and even wars will be chosen during the slack season.However, Shang Yang's principle when reforming the law was that "princes who break the law are as guilty as the common people. It can be seen that the law is not only applied to the people, but also restricts the government's abuse of power." When interpreting Legalism, Han Feizi also admired Lao Tzu's spirit of "governing by doing nothing". He believed that a fair society ruled by law could be established with clear and simple government orders and strict law enforcement. But after reunification, there are too many reforms and constructions to be done, and the only thing is to promote the economy.The unification of culture requires a lot of manpower, and the effect is not good, so the cost is even greater.There is too much work, which exceeds the normal operation, which has created unreasonable pressure on the people of the country. If the law enforcement is strict and inflexible, the people will have a strong feeling of being abused. Especially the matter of labor labor, which was originally used by everyone to use their slack time to contribute their labor to strengthen national construction and promote social prosperity. Now there are too many conscripts, which exceed what the slack can afford, and also affect the normal work and life of farmers. Naturally, it will become Hard labor. The order to call for labor finally arrived at the Sishui Pavilion. Liu Bang, who has gradually developed a "leadership consciousness-"a man should be like this", is naturally the most opposed to this task that affects people's livelihood." "Everyone is going to do labor, so who will farm in the family? Besides, they have to pay taxes, how can ordinary people live on!" "Liu Bang, who calls himself a chivalrous man, from the bottom of his heart opposes this order to bully kind peasants excessively." However, the Qin Dynasty used the Shiwu system in the early years to have a very good grasp of household registration information across the country. The number of males in twenty-five households in one mile was counted at any time, and household registration books were established as evidence for tax collection and labor labor. .Since the statistical data of the whole country are kept in the government office according to the region, and the local officials make rounds, they do not know the numbers reported before, so no one dares to report false information to the existing household registration, otherwise there may be a disaster of ransacking the house . Therefore, the county magistrate of Pei County immediately made up a roster and dispatched the chiefs of the pavilions under his command to lead the team. Since the labor labor this time is to build the Lishan Mausoleum, it is a very difficult job, and everyone is deeply disgusted with excessive labor labor, so it is a dangerous job to be in charge of the team leader. After considering the abilities of all the pavilion chiefs, the county magistrate believed that only Liu Bang could hold his ground. Although Liu Bang was extremely unwilling, he could not refuse the public mission, so he had to bite the bullet and lead the more than 500 people recruited to set off. It is thousands of miles from Peixian County to Xianyang. It is a very hard job to travel day and night on two feet, and carry heavy cooking utensils and camping equipment. Liu Bang has always been generous, so the management work is loose, and some people who can't bear hardships or miss their hometown take the opportunity to escape. Although it was found that someone had fled, there were too few supervisors and the mountain road was rugged and complicated, so it was really difficult to search for it.So although Liu Bang had a headache, he was helpless, so he pretended not to know and continued to lead the way. But the group's psychology immediately changed, and more and more people fled. Liu Bang was unable to control it. He thought that if this situation continued, he might be left alone in Xianyang. Instead of sitting still and waiting to die, just make a mistake and make a mistake to the end. Once I made up my mind, it was much easier. Arriving in Fengxi Zezhong, Liu Bang ordered all the remaining travel expenses to be replaced with wine and food, and invited the remaining laborers to have a big drink with him. When everyone was puzzled, Liu Bang announced in a half-drunk state that all the labor teams will be disbanded tonight, and those who want to go back can go back secretly, and the responsibility is entirely on him.He said impassionedly: "This is going to be a bad time, you guys run away quickly! At this point, I have no choice but to run away." Among the labor and supervisory personnel, some bolder and loyal ones said: "We are willing to flee with the pavilion chief!" Slashing the White Snake with the Sword, the Cause of Action in Myths and Legends One night after several days of fleeing, Liu Bang and others were still driving in the swamp area in the mountains with alcohol and moonlight. Because the roads were not familiar, Liu Bang sent a more alert laborer to search ahead to avoid too many people and easy to be discovered. Soon, the pioneer rushed back to report in a panic: "It's not good, there is a giant snake in front of it, entangled in the path, depending on the situation, it is difficult for us to get through, let's go back and find another way out!" Liu Bang was slightly drunk, and he became more courageous. He said loudly: "A strong man travels, what are he afraid of!" Then he drank a few sips of wine, pulled out his sword, and bravely moved forward. The big snake was attacked by surprise, and immediately resisted Liu Bang's strength. At this time, Liu Bang was drunk, and in a daze, he crossed the path alone. After walking for several miles, he finally fell down on the side of the road due to drunkenness and exhaustion, and fell asleep unconsciously. Those who followed behind saw no movement, so they pursued forward. Strange to say, at the place where Liu Bang cut the snake, there was an old woman crying in the dark.Everyone felt strange, so they stepped forward and asked: "Old woman, why are you crying here?" "My son was killed, so I cry for him here!" "How did your child get killed?" "My son is the son of the White Emperor. Today he took the form of a snake and crossed the road. Unexpectedly, he was killed by the son of the Red Emperor. That's why I'm crying here!" The person who asked the question thought that the old woman was talking nonsense and was trying to humiliate her, but the old woman suddenly disappeared. Everyone was very surprised, so they immediately looked for Liu Bang, woke him up, and told him about the adventure. Liu Bang was very happy when he heard that, and thought he was the son of the Red Emperor. Some historians believe that this is a myth deliberately created by Liu Bang's disciples during his escape to show that Liu Bang was a natural leader. Some people even think that this is a myth deliberately created by Xiao He in order to cover the wanted Liu Bang and establish his importance in the hearts of the elders in Pei County. However, according to logical inferences, this possibility is unlikely. Given Liu Bang's status and circumstances at the time, Liu Bang's disciples and Xiao He, no matter how bold they were, would not dare to associate the term "di" with Liu Bang. This kind of legend of cutting the white snake uprising should be a myth created by Liu Bang to highlight his true destiny after his success.Since Liu Bang's background was indeed too low, in order to stabilize the regime of the Han Dynasty, the officials in charge had to take great pains to "package" his image. The meaning of the totem symbolizes the magic But from an anthropological point of view, the snake here should be a totem because the Qin Dynasty was a bird totem (it can be proved by the bird picture of the Qin imperial family seal), and the five elements drain virtue, and the color is "still black, which is said to be black." It has nothing to do with the White Snake." Liu Bang was born in Peixian County, although the place where various tribes intermingle, but the main totem is still "snake".Xiang Yu, who later competed with Liu Bang for world hegemony, originated from Jiangdong. He was a descendant of the nobles of Chu State and belonged to the direct line of the Snake Totem Clan.White snakes are abundant in Jiangdong, and perhaps the symbol of the son of the White Emperor refers to Xiang Yu.This piece of legendary myth may refer to the symbol of the destiny of Liu Bang, the Red Emperor of the Snake Totem, who will defeat the White Emperor Xiang Yu of the Snake Totem's direct line in a hit, and ascend to the throne of the emperor! This period of unexpected escape should be the most desolate period in Liu Bang's career. Liu Bang's "innate greatness" created this "official myth"!." There is an even more unbelievable legendary record in "Historical Records": When Qin Shihuang was in power, many alchemists who knew how to look at the sky suggested to him: "There are emperors in the southeast who are very angry. Shihuang was very worried, so he often went to the east to patrol and subdue them." Liu Bang was deeply suspicious of this legend, so he hid among the deep mountains, swamps and rocks between Mang County and Dang County, fearing that he would be discovered because of his "emperor spirit". But when his wife Lu Zhi and the local elders went to the mountains to look for Liu Bang, they still found him quickly. Liu Bang felt very strange and asked: "How do you find me every time you come?" Lu Zhi replied: "Where you are, there are often clouds in the sky, as long as you follow the clouds, you can be found quickly. So far, Liu Bang believes that he has auspicious signs and is very happy.The children of Pei County, hearing such rumors, believed even more in Liu Bang's noble minister, and they also went to the mountains to join him, becoming a force. This story is more obviously added by later generations. No matter how bold Fang Tu was, he did not dare to report to the authoritarian and suspicious Qin Shihuang that "even if there is such a thing, it is still a secret word in the court. How can it be true?" It spread to Liu Bang's ears?." Liu Bang, who fled to the mountainous area, must rely on the assistance of Lu Wan, Xia Houying, Fan He, Zhou Bo and other "brother soldiers" to barely survive, so how dare he compare himself to the "son of heaven".Moreover, in order to escape the ensuing forced labor, many children in Peixian County learned that Liu Bang was hiding in the mountains with a group of people. There may be some who went to seek refuge, but the number was only a few hundred at most, and it would not be a big deal. But soon, an accident made Liu Bang's luck go straight up again from the bottom of the valley. 【Chen Wende Commentary】 Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching Chapter Eleven": "Thirty spokes in one hub, if there is nothing, if there is a car, use it as a device, if it is not; The use of the room is for profit, and it is not for use.” In this world, "nothing" is often more useful than "yes".Take the wheel as an example. There are thirty spokes on the wheel, all of which are concentrated on the hub. Because the hub itself is "empty", it can bear these thirty spokes, and the wheel can turn.Because of the "non-existence" of the hub and the "existence" of the spokes, the wheel can function. Knead pottery clay to make various utensils. The utensils use clay as the shell, which is "existence", but the emptiness in the middle of the utensils is "nothing". When building a house, digging doors and windows, it is the "nothing" inside the house that can really live in people, not the "being" of windows. It can be seen from these examples that what can be seen is "yes", but what works is "nothing". " This philosophy may seem profound, but it is actually very simple. Only those who don’t have much opinion can accept opinions from all sides and form a consensus to play the role of group brainstorming. We often evaluate someone’s ability with insufficient measure. Those who are eager to express themselves and focus on their own interests are often not very good. Good leadership. A real leader knows how to absorb other people's opinions. His strength is reflected in his generosity of mind. The so-called "tolerance is great" and "the prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach" are all expressions of empty power. Without a standpoint, everyone Standing for standpoint, the more tolerant it is, the greater its power will be." Liu Bang doesn't seem to have much talent, but in fact, he is a loyal person who "takes all civil and military skills". In terms of boldness, he is quite attractive to low-level market figures. His indifferent image does not make people feel too rough. People from the Wenzhi faction like Lu Gong and Xiao He also admired his strength, which enabled him to be both black and white, able to bend and stretch, and could be a magistrate or a wanted criminal. But what is more important is his "selflessness". He is a hopeless "optimist". Unexpected setbacks and blows are not taken very seriously. When necessary, he can mostly cooperate with everyone in "charging forward with a helmet on". Anyway, death is fate, and worrying is useless. He doesn't care too much, doesn't pay much attention to the harm he may have, and moves forward generously; the most lovely thing about Liu Bang is that he doesn't care about his own position, and he has no selfish desires. As long as everyone is willing to accept his leadership, he will He is the kind of person who can give his "life" to everyone.
