Lu's pheasant entered Liu Bang's life very early, as early as 214 BC. At that time, Liu Bang was just an extremely inconspicuous little civil servant in the Great Qin Empire, not an official, at best an official.In his spare time, he wandered around the streets and markets of Pei County, leisurely and carelessly, paying attention to everything around him, but he didn't pay attention to it. When he goes out, he always wears a "Pavilion Crown" on his head.In order to make this crown, Liu Bang took great pains and sent someone to Xue County to order it.Xue County is a big place, but the craftsmanship of making crowns is first-rate.The crown is made of bamboo skin, and the outside is painted with lacquer. The top of the crown is flat and slender, like the long crown of the nobles of Chu State.

The crown is a counterfeit crown, worn on the head, but ordinary people can't tell the identity.This made Liu Bang very useful, with a look like me, who wants to find someone to admire, so he can only look in the mirror. This bamboo crown is his favorite and is always with him.Years later, when he became emperor, he would take it out and wear it in his spare time to reminisce about the wasted time in Pei County. Back then, he swaggered out of the butcher's shop and into the tavern with the "Liu's crown" on his head, and drank wantonly with his friends when he sat down. All eyes on him.

The female proprietors of two taverns knew him well, and they didn't press him for the drink bills they owed. In many cases, they simply waived the bills.Liu Bang often has nothing in his pocket, and is so poor that he can't make a sound, but he never lacks women who are kind to him and have an ambiguous and gentle relationship with him. The well-known figures in Pei County are envious, jealous, and a little surprised. They can't express such complicated feelings. They can only sigh with a bit of sadness in their hearts: How many women in the world have never fallen in love with a hooligan in their lives!

Outside the east gate of Peixian County, there is a Sishui Pavilion-the place where Liu Bang mixed his salary. At that time, he had a title: the head of the Pavilion of Surabaya. This is a thankless job, with neither leisure nor lucrative income.The affairs of the jurisdiction are not big, but quite cumbersome, receiving officials today, arresting thieves tomorrow, shopping for the county government the next day, passing documents, and mediating civil disputes. Many trivial official duties should be done well, and they will not be rewarded; Honestly illiterate peasants couldn't do this unlucky job, and children from rich families didn't bother to do it. Only semi-literate people like Liu Bang, who were born as civilians, could devote themselves to it.

The pavilion chief is Liu Bangping's first errand in his life. He is 35 years old this year. A man stands at thirty - a Chinese mantra.To be established is to establish a career, but no matter whether you are established at thirty or forty, most people work and work just to earn a bowl of food, so why talk about establishing a career?It's fine if you don't talk about it, but the crow thinks the pig is black, and he lives a little brighter than the will-o'-the-wisp, and pretends that the sun shines on others. When it comes to starting a career, we must talk about starting a family, the so-called starting a family and starting a business.The two have nothing to do with each other in fact, but to emphasize that the succession of the family is as important as the support of the family.

Liu Bang's elder brother, Liu Bo, is a model of "getting a family and starting a business".This person married a wife early, set up a separate family, and lived a mediocre and vulgar life. In contrast, Liu Bang is very different, and people will inevitably look at him with contempt. However, if Liu Bang was to copy and paste Uncle Liu's life, he would have wished to bump his head to death.In his eyes, Uncle Liu's life is undoubtedly the hourly life of thousands of people: born according to the time, growing up according to the time, working according to the time, marrying according to the time, giving birth according to the time, following the rules, passing on the family line, and going round and round, just like being an adult. A lifetime of part-time work.They know what to do at what age, but they never think about what they love to do.

Instead of living by the hour, it is better to live a leisurely life, not to have a job, but to have food, not to have a family, but to have a woman. There was nothing to eat at home, so Liu Bang went to his elder brother's house to hang out, alone, and brought a group of friends along with him.After going too many times, the sister-in-law shook her face, threw pots and bowls and knocked on the spatula, and then went again, it was a clean pot and a cold stove, and there was no hot water for a bowl, which made Liu Bang very embarrassed. The buddies ridiculed him for having no face, and he did have no face. In the eyes of his sister-in-law, his brother-in-law is a dishonest guy.The sister-in-law stared at him with enough eyes to shoot down a fly, and the content in her eyes was her evaluation of him: eat a fool and wait to die.

When he was down and out, Liu Bang was wandering in the market, and he went to the tavern to drink with Meng Lang when he got some money.The neighbors in Pei County all curled their lips when they saw it. Look, this is a veritable debauchery. This prodigal son disappointed his father Liu Taigong. When you were young, you were told to study, but you were just mischievous. When you grow up, you have hands, feet and strength but you don’t work. Today, the ground under your feet is walking, and the water around you is flowing. Flow, you are nothing. Mr. Liu was so angry that he almost changed his surname to Cui, because Liu Bang was indeed a bit cheap.

When he was a child, his family collected money to support him in school, hoping that he would have a good future in the future, but he only knew how to play and play. He never read half of the Four Books, and never read a whole paragraph of the Five Classics. There are always good times in childhood. At that time, Liu Bang had a nickname named Lu Wan, who was born in the same year, the same month and the same day as him, and studied in the same school. Lu Wan had a gentle temperament, and Liu Bang was alert and active.A person with a gentle temperament is usually timid, and will not let go of mischievous tricks.

One day, after school, the two passed by a house. Liu Bang saw a honeycomb hidden under the eaves, so he asked Lu Wan, "Do you dare to poke it?" If you dare, I will.Lu Wan said. Liu Bang found a bamboo pole, lightly poked the honeycomb twice, and handed it to Lu Wan: I can't poke it, you come, use your strength. Lu Wan took it seriously, took the weapon, and poured a bucket heavily. Countless wasps swarmed out, and passers-by couldn't avoid it, and were all stung.Lu Wan turned to look at Liu Bang again, but Liu Bang had long since disappeared. Seeing that Liu Bang was running away, Lu Wan thought of running away, but she was stung with several red and swollen bumps on her face.

The incidents of causing trouble and stabbing a hornet's nest are too numerous to enumerate. Lu Wan always follows Liu Bang's buttocks.The two are inseparable, it can be said that they have a deep brotherhood. The love is deep and the love is deep, and the studies are naturally abandoned, and Liu Taigong's dream of a son Jackie Chan is unfortunately shattered. Throughout the world, all those who hope their children will become dragons do so because they are not dragons themselves.Instead of feeling guilty, Liu Bang looked down on his father a little. During those languid dusks or afternoons, Liu Bang lay at home, swayed outside, squatted by the field, and had some thoughts in his mind.He can't look down on the serious things that the people around him do.The kind of life that can see the end at a glance, without passion, without suspense, is pure sleeplessness.While those people had enough food and clothing, their minds were empty, but Liu Bang had his own idol, and this idol was Lord Xinling, who was famous all over the world in the late Warring States period. Lord Xinling is the son of King Wei Zhao, the king of Wei State. There are three thousand disciples in his hall, who come from all walks of life and come from all walks of life. Some of them were very loyal, and at the critical moment, they threw their heads and blood for Lord Xinling, and made Lord Xinling's reputation. If there is no idol in the heart, there will be no role model in life. An era without idols shows that this era lacks passion; a person without idols proves that this person is numb.Fans are actually very blessed. In ordinary life, there are awesome people to help you refresh yourself, and life is more exciting than people without idols. Mr. Xinling is Liu Bang's role model, excitement, and beautiful star.With this example, Liu Bang didn't care about the ridicule, contempt and accusations of the vulgar people.In a word: a chicken is always a chicken when it climbs to the top of a wall, and a phoenix is ​​still a phoenix when it lands. It doesn't matter, Liu Bang just messes around on his own. Mixing is a very elegant word. Even today, people who do big things or small things always use it in their mouths, either humbly or self-deprecating.White-collar workers mix jobs, teachers mix titles, students mix diplomas, politicians mix official positions, the simple word "mixed" is full of countless hardships and complex social and interpersonal relationships. It is said that the power of role models is infinite, Liu Bang is like his idol Lord Xinling, making all kinds of friends.Although he does not have the strength of an idol, he has the bearing of an idol.Treat guests with money, treat guests without money, and never run to the toilet while paying the bill. Hanging out with him, you feel carefree and joyful; listening to him talk, even makes people feel a bit inexplicably heroic.Ever since, the number of people who hang out with him has increased, and there are all kinds of people in the market, people from the rivers and lakes, and public officials. Among the public officials, there is a man named Xiao He, who was born in Pei County and grew up in Pei County. He has a deep foundation and a solid foundation. He is a few years older than Liu Bang. . In the Qin Dynasty, if you want to find a job as an official, you have to understand the law, just like you need to understand the policy to speculate in stocks and real estate.This is the imprint of Shang Yang's reform. When Qin Shihuang came to power, he introduced a new concept of governing the country: "Take officials as teachers".It means: the personnel of government functional departments have to shoulder the responsibility of being a teacher. As a teacher, one naturally has knowledge to impart, and this knowledge is the law.Since Shang Yang's reform, Qin State has attached great importance to the legal system, and the laws are harsh and strict.Therefore, legal education is essential. Those who are proficient in the law tend to have a calm temperament and strong logical thinking, and Xiao He is also like this.It is reasonable for him to become the director of the office of the Peixian county government. This official position was called Lizhen at that time. However, how did an official who is familiar with the law get mixed up with a street gangster?The two seem to be wrong. Liu Bang didn't like reading, and he hated Confucian scholars very much.Those Confucian scholars, who love to talk around corners, call earwax cerumen, and sneeze as a strong vocal puff phenomenon caused by damaged nasal mucosa. From Liu Bang's point of view, those Confucian scholars were all bookish, unable to make sense of what they said, and they were used to talking on paper.And their unified surname is Zhuang, and their first name is Gao Ya. There is a story of "Two Pots" in Aesop's fables. In the story, a clay pot said to the copper pot: Please stay away from me and don't come near me.As long as you touch me lightly, I will be crushed, and I dare not approach you no matter what. This story says that only when we are equal to each other can we be friends.But Liu Bang is a copper pot, a pot made of copper peas, which cannot be steamed, boiled, pounded or fried, and it rings loudly when it is knocked; while Xiao He is a clay pot, which is simple on the outside and beautiful on the inside. Hidden.What is the reason why the two pots are so different that they are in close contact, but they are not broken, and even the cracks are not visible? In the final analysis, it was all due to the temperament of the two of them.Liu Bang is bold, and Xiao He is also bold.This has nothing to do with how much you read or the depth of your knowledge. It is bestowed by God and brought in the womb. You can't learn it, and you can't erase it. People with similar temperaments are also predestined by fate in previous lives. If they are not husband and wife, they will become good friends.Whether they are married or become friends, they always have bright spots to be captured by each other. During the communication, Liu Bang admired Xiao He very much.His admiration can be expressed in poems-if the official is not high, he can understand the rules and act; Drink big wine, please your mood.Liu Bangyun: How is Xiao He ugly? And Xiao He looked at Liu Bang completely differently from ordinary people.Liu Bang is idle and lazy, in Xiao He's eyes, he disdains to be with ordinary people;A person with a river in his heart is definitely not a fish in a pond.He inexplicably had a premonition: Liu Bang, this little migratory locust, will flourish sooner or later.Once this feeling started, it never went away. When he first met Xiao He, Liu Bang's life was the same as usual, he should eat and drink, he still acted as if no one urinated, and walked around the streets and markets of Peixian County, standing out from the crowd. Where there is a market, there must be a flow of people. The flow of people may not be painful, but it must be very complicated.Among the crowd, there are rich and poor, strong men and women, old people and urchins.The urchin was playing and playing on the twisted and moss-grown stone road. He accidentally fell down and was picked up by the strangers who went to the market. Those strangers usually carried the basket and met their relatives and friends. a face.Lalasha went to the dog meat stand, weighed two catties of dog meat, wrapped it in lotus leaves, went into the wine shop together, bought some loose wine, spread the dog meat on the table, sat down one after another, took a sip of the wine, and took a sip of the meat , Talking about something in your heart while eating, slowly, until the set was over before breaking up. There is an old saying in China: Dog meat cannot be eaten at a table.Pei County is just the opposite: no feast without dog meat.There is always a plate of dog meat and a jug of old wine on the table in the wine shop in Peixian County. Friends sit and drink together. This scene is like a frozen scene in a documentary. At that time, dog meat was more expensive than pork, and it was the best meat.Driven by profit, some people make a living out of killing dogs.Three hundred and sixty lines, the number one scholar in every line, and the slaughter of dogs can also become famous. Liu Bang has a friend named Fan Kui, who is the famous dog butcher in Pei County. Liu Bang often went to Fan Kuai's place to buy dog ​​meat and drink it to enjoy the taste.When he was in short supply, he went to pay on credit. Fan Kui was a cheerful person, he had absolutely no sense of small farmers, and he never haggled over pennies. He never kept accounts. He didn't know which accounts were cleared and which accounts were not paid, which made Liu Bang a little ashamed. . Shame can't resist the appetite in the stomach, the taste in the mouth, the face competes with the stomach, and the face always loses.Face is an illusory thing, not suitable for eating or drinking, it is not as good as a piece of paper to wipe your butt.After a long time, Liu Bang also calmed down, and went to buy dog ​​meat, buy dog ​​meat on credit, and watch Fan Kuai butcher dog meat without any psychological barriers. Fan Kuai slaughtered dogs with superb skills.A dog was caught between his legs, unable to move; Fan Kuai picked up his knife and gouged it out. With just a few cuts, he peeled off the dog's skin as quickly as peanut shells and held it in his hand.Immediately, a cold smile flashed across his face.At this moment, the eyes of the naked dog were filled with tears of fear, trembling and howling, and then whimpering a few times, fell to the ground and died. All things have spirits, and dogs are no exception. From a distance, I smell this tough guy who loves to butcher dogs, barking wildly.A group of paparazzi encounter Fan Kui by chance, but they are not of one mind. They are either paralyzed from fright, or attack him in groups, and in the end they all become souls killed by swords. Compared with Liu Bang, Fan Kuai Kong Wu is powerful. Although Liu Bang is seven feet eight inches long and about 1.8 meters tall, he is not as strong as Fan Kuai.In Liu Bang's view, this gentleman is born to be a good material for military generals.Sure enough, many years later, he raised the flag to conquer the world, and Fan Kui was brave and invincible, leading the vanguard of the army.And Fan Kuai was not just a warrior with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. He was thick and thin, so fine that the advisers and civil servants could not match it. Of course, this is a later story. It is really puzzling to say that Liu Bang not only communicated with government officials, but also with butchers in the market.But Liu Bang himself knew that he wanted to follow his idol Lord Xinling and make friends with people from all walks of life, no matter high-ranking officials, traffickers, or ordinary people, as long as they have the same temperament, they can become friends, and even become brothers with different surnames. Therefore, Liu Bang has many friends from a wide range of sources, including local strangers in Pei County and outsiders. Zhou Bo, whose ancestral home was Juandi, Xingyang, migrated to Peixian County.As an outsider, without a ridge of land or an acre of fields, how can he make a living? Zhou Bo was walking on the street, but saw that many people in Pei County were raising silkworms, and they needed reed mats, so he made mats and sold them along the street.In order to supplement his family income, he often went to funerals, acted as a trumpeter in the funeral procession, and mixed a few tips. No one looks down on such a bad person, except Liu Bang. In Liu Bang's view, Zhou Bo has both crafts and musical instruments, which can be called versatile.Moreover, Zhou Bo's physical strength is amazing, and he can draw a strong bow. History books say: Zhou Bo is "heavy and less literary".He is not well educated and much younger than Liu Bang, but like Liu Bang, he looks down on scholars.This point is quite congenial to each other, so they became good friends. It's not about life, it's about connections.Liu Bang is quite proud of this.But the strong have their own strong hands. In Peixian County, there is a person who is more popular than Liu Bang, and this person is called Yong Chi. Yong Chi can be called a celebrity in Pei County, and his full name is: Famous Hooligan in Pei County.Beating the blind, scolding the deaf, drinking and making trouble, very arrogant.In his eyes, Liu Bang is not a thing at all. Liu Bang is born to be soft and not hard, he doesn't know what is so good about Yong Chi, if you are really good, then I am a bullwhip. It's not that friends don't get together, Liu Bang and Yong Chi meet, and some sparks inevitably spark.Small conflicts lead to big conflicts, and things get bigger, and the hatred becomes deeper, and it is inevitable to fight with each other.And Yong Chi dared to act mischievously on the ground, so he naturally had a bunch of younger brothers under him, and Liu Bang couldn't afford to mess with him. Fortunately, in the circle of evil forces in Peixian County, Liu Bang still has a friend Wang Ling.Wang Ling is a few years older than Liu Bang, and Liu Bang calls him big brother.Since Wang Ling is Liu Bang's elder brother and also has good friends with Yong Chi, he doesn't want to stand by and let the two of them fight. Wang Ling found an opportunity, set a table of wine, and invited Liu Bang and Yong Chi to the banquet together.The three of them sat around a table, and Wang Ling intervened to persuade them to make peace. There is wine to talk to. At the wine table, men usually appear bolder and more accessible than usual.Nonsense, big talk, hot-headed words of loyalty, like a diabetes insipidus spewing out.In the end, Liu Bang and Yong Chi shook hands and talked happily, and decided to give each other face in the future. The so-called underworld is a way of living for face.After suffering from the opponent, I always have to shout: If this matter gets out, how can I mess around in the future.No, we must save face, even if we die together.This kind of thinking is what we usually call brain damage. Liu Bang is not a face-saving person, but he is floating in the rivers and lakes, how can he not be stabbed.Having been in the underworld for a long time, it is inevitable that they will cause some troubles, and dealing with the prison officials of the county government is indispensable. Prison officer Cao Shen, now known as the director of the detention center, fell in love with Liu Bang after colliding with Liu Bang several times. Cao Shen is also an upright person, he likes Liu Bang's generosity and arrogance.Back and forth, the two combined black and white like Go and became friends. Since then, Liu Bang has been mixed in black and white, and his life has become more colorful.Just at that moment, Xiao He hurried over to inform him that the Peixian Yamen wanted to recruit civil servants. Liu Bang never dismissed ordinary things and coolie things.He is somewhat interested in being an official. After all, it is different to mix in officialdom and society. Afterwards, things went very smoothly. As the director of the county government office, Xiao He was also in charge of personnel affairs. After his operation, Liu Bang was easily hired as the head of the Sishui Pavilion in Pei County.This is a characteristic of Chinese society that has been inherited for thousands of years: there are people who are easy to handle. In the Qin Dynasty, ten miles are pavilions, and ten pavilions are townships.There are more than two hundred households in Shili, and the pavilion head is equivalent to a cadre at the township level.The official position is small, and it is a probationary job, but it can be regarded as a prestigious job.However, not long after Liu Bang took office, something happened that almost made him lose his official position and go to jail.
