Prediction, as its name implies, refers to the language people speculate before things happen, which is equivalent to what we often call the sixth sense. Although there is no scientific basis, sometimes predictions can be fulfilled in the future. There are many prophecies and prophetic stories handed down in ancient China, such as The Theory of Divination in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Li's TuiBei Map and Liu Bowen's Cooking Songs. Liu Bang was not only a great statesman, but also a great prophet. He made two great predictions before his death, and both of them came true. It's really amazing.
After Liu Bang put down the rebellion in Ying Bu, he was very worried about the rule of Jianghuai area, which was thousands of miles away from the emperor's regime, and his son was too young to guard this area. At this time, he thought of his nephew Liu Bi.
Liu Bi's father Liu Zhong is Liu Bang's brother. Liu Bang once appointed Liu Zhong as acting king and ruled the north. Later, when the Huns invaded, Liu Zhong could not resist and fled back to Chang 'an. Liu Bang took care of brotherhood and demoted Liu Zhong to the Hou of Heyang. Although Liu Zhong is incompetent, his son Liu Bi is not bad. When Ying Bu rebelled, Liu Bi, who was only 20 years old, followed Liu Bang's crusade, killed the enemy heroically, and repeatedly made meritorious military service. As it happens, wuyue has a vast territory and a long way to go, and it needs a powerful monarch to manage it, so Liu Bi became the only choice.
So the high-impedance named Liu Bi the king of Wu, managing three counties and fifty-three cities. On the day of the conferring ceremony, Liu Bang concentrated on studying Liu Bi and found that his face was upside down. I regret it very much, but you are joking. The water spilled, so I had to give the seal to Liu Bi. Liu Bang patted Liu Bi thoughtfully on the back and said, "In fifty years, there will be chaos in the southeast. It's not you, is it? You and I are both descendants of Liu, don't rebel! " Liu Bi nodded in horror and said, "I dare not have second thoughts and will not do anything rebellious."
After Liu Bang's death, Liu Bi opened a copper mine in his fief to cast money and boiled seawater into salt. In addition, there is no need to pay taxes to the court, so Wu has become more and more powerful and prosperous. After Emperor Wen ascended the throne, Liu Bi's son went to Beijing to play chess with the King of Qi (later Emperor Han Jing). Liu Bi's son is rude and doesn't care about the prince at all. In a rage, Liu Qi grabbed the chessboard and hit the king of Wu.
Who knows the prince of Wu is so vulnerable and dead? Liu Bi was furious when he learned that his son had been killed by Liu Qi. Since then, regardless of his illness, he has called in outlaws in the kingdom of Wu, waiting for an opportunity to avenge his son. Later, Liu Bi's son-killing enemy Liu Qi acceded to the throne, and Han Jing reused Chao Cuo. Chao Cuo suggested cutting Francisco, and put forward that "cutting it is urgent, and the disaster is small; If you don't cut it, it will be a big disaster. " Liu Qi finally decided to cut Francisco, cut Wu's county and Huiji county (Wu always has three counties).
As a fuse, Liu Bi, the king of Wu, joined forces with the other six C's to rebel under the slogan "Cross Chao Cuo and stand on the side of the king". So Han Jing sent Zhou Yafu to lead the troops, which lasted for three months and put down the rebellion of the Seven Kings, and Liu Bi was killed. I didn't expect Liu Bang to predict before his death: "In fifty years, there will be chaos in the southeast. Are you Liu Bi? " It actually happened, and it was really Liu Bigan. It was really shocking.
But this one thing alone really doesn't mean anything. In July 196 BC, Ying Bu, king of Huainan, rebelled, and Liu Bang led an army to crusade. Although the rebellion was quickly put down, Liu Bang was accidentally shot in the battle. On the way back to the DPRK, Liu Bang's condition worsened and his health became worse every day. After returning to Chang 'an, Lv Hou found a famous doctor to treat him.
Liu bang asked the doctor about his illness, and the doctor only said that he could be cured. The clever Liu Bang understood the doctor's implication and realized that his illness could not be cured, so he cursed the doctor: "Isn't it life to take the world with one cloth and one sword?" Life is in heaven, although Bian Que is good! "Say that finish away the doctor. Time was running out, and Liu Bang made final arrangements to consolidate the Han Dynasty he founded. He enfeoffed the king and arranged ministers.
During this period, Lv Hou asked Liu Bang about the candidate for the future prime minister. "Your majesty after one hundred, Xiao He's prime minister is running out. Who will replace him? " Liu Bang said that Cao Can could. Lv Hou then asked Cao Can who he could use after that. Liu Bang replied: "Tomb raiding is ok, but tomb raiding is straightforward and can be assisted by Chen Ping. Although Chen Ping's wisdom is very good, he can't decide important things. As for Zhou Bo, although he is not good at words, he is loyal and kind. In the future, it will be Liu Zhiguo, and he can also be a captain. "
Lv Hou asked what to do in the future. Liu Bang said weakly, "You never know what will happen in the future." Looking at the development of the Han Dynasty after Liu Bang's death, as expected, "it must be with Liu Anshen". In BC 180, Lv Zhi died of illness, and Zhu Lu was in power. Qiu Lianhe and Tomb killed Zhu Lu and established Liu Bang's fourth son, Liu Heng, as the emperor of China. Let the Liu dynasty continue.
"The world is full of miracles." People will inevitably have all kinds of premonitions in an emergency crisis, but no one can guarantee whether the prediction will come true. Everything is inextricably linked and the variables are immeasurable. Whether Liu Bang's prediction is accidental or doomed, it is enough for us to seize every minute and live a wonderful day.
