There was no one in the palace, only the oil lamp was flashing, and the light and darkness made the vision blurred.

The guards around had retreated, and the place seemed empty and deserted.

The wine entered his throat, as if it was burning. Liu Bang wanted to continue saying something, but he couldn't say it, only tears flowed down.

It seemed like a dream.

A few years ago, he was still Liu Ji, a little hooligan and a son-in-law. People in the world thought that marrying Lu Zhi was the happiest moment, but in his eyes, letting go of those prisoners and falling into the mountains was like a mountain of grass. That was the happiest day.

In less than two years, he became the King of Pei in one fell swoop and became the most powerful existence in the world.

However, it was less than a year before, and I was trapped in the lonely city and had a desperate end.

"King..."

Xiao He knelt on the ground, his eyes full of tears.

In a vague manner, there were shouts of killing outside, and the Chu army had already come in. The Pei army was resisting, fighting bloody battles, and the weapons were colliding, and they were fighting fiercely.

However, it was just that and I couldn't hold on for long.

More people chose to surrender.

Liu Bang said lightly: "When you start a war in Pei County, you are the real leader of Pei County... As for me, I am just a son-in-law!"

Kneeling on the ground, Xiao He said, "I am wise but not brave. I can be Li Si, but not the First Emperor!"

"Li Si died miserably... A real man cannot eat the meat of the Nine Cauldrons in his life, and he will be cooked as the Nine Cauldrons in his life! He can reach the position of Li Si, even if he is cut in half, it is worth it!"

Liu Bang said: "I, Liu Ji, are just a scoundrel, but I can be the king. Now that I am dead, it's worth it!"

"King, if you don't rebel against King Xiang, you may not be able to be a king in one place!" Xiao He said, sighing slightly.

Liu Bang shook his head and said, "You don't understand! Xiang Yu wants to be the First Emperor, not the Duke Huan of Qi. Duke Huan of Qi can tolerate all the princes, but the First Emperor cannot tolerate all the princes!"

"In Guanzhong, during the Hongmen Banquet, King Xiang was like killing me... It was just that King Xiang was afraid of other coalition leaders and had to compromise... So he enthroned the world and occupied Guanzhong alone!"

"But when King Xiang occupied Guanzhong for more than two years and was recuperating, the old Qin people had a stable mentality... King Xiang would inevitably destroy the princes of Guanzhong. Even if King Xiang wanted to be King of Guanzhong, others would not agree... Without a big battle, how would those people be granted the title of marquis!"

"Even if King Xiang has no other intentions, the other princes are constantly in civil strife and will inevitably continue to fight..."

Liu Bang talked about the situation in the world and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The Hongmen Agreement is not the end of the battle, but the beginning.

Many times, obediently follow the general trend, and disobediently be pulled by the general trend.

When I sit in that position, many things are involuntarily, even the emperor.

"The princes in the world all want to be the First Emperor, but there are actually only four who are truly qualified, one is King Xiang, one is me, one is King Huai of Chu, and one is King Qi!"

"King Xiang is the most powerful, King Huai of Chu is the best, King Qi is the richest, and I am the worst!"

"But King Huai of Chu was eliminated first, then me, then King Qi... If the three of us joined forces, we could fight against King Xiang... No, even if we joined forces, we would not be the opponent of King Xiang... Many things have not started and have ended!"

Liu Bang said in a long while, there is no choice in life.

What would happen if he had peace of mind to be King Pei?

Liu Bang thought, shook his head for a moment.

Back then, he was unwilling to be a farmer. He would have farmed for the rest of his life and wanted to make achievements. How could he be the King of Pei now?

"The king... is better to surrender to King Xiang. With King Xiang's false benevolence and righteousness, he will definitely treat the king well and confer the king as a marquis!" Xiao He said.

Liu Bang refused, but said, "Although I am a scoundrel, I am also an ambitious person. How could King Zhou surrender to King Wu of Zhou!"

Standing up, Liu Bang kicked the wine table, and the wine bowls were scattered on the ground, and the wine flowed out, and some even sputtered on Xiao He's body.

"Xiao He, a great head, I will give it to you directly!"

Liu Bang drew out his sword and wiped it around his neck. Suddenly, a bloody hole appeared on his neck, and blood flowed out and fell to the ground.

There were shouts coming from outside, as if the army was constantly approaching.

"Master, I'm sorry!"

Xiao He said, drawing out the sword and cutting off Liu Bang's head directly.

The armor sounded, and a general in armor appeared and entered the palace. It was Ying Bu.

"Meet the General!"

Xiao He stepped forward and said, "I have killed Pei Gong!"

…………

In the big tent, Xiang Yu was flipping through the "Bamboo Anniversary", and Chen Ping sat upright.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is "Chang Shenkai" and "Dai Li" again, and they are extremely harmonious with each other.

"In the bamboo book, it seems different from the conventional historical books. The historical books say that Shun passed the throne to Yao was abdicated position. However, in this book, Shun imprisoned Yao and then exiled him, and even refused to let Yao's son Zhu Dan go to see him."

"According to this statement, the abdication between the ancient saints, Yao and Shun, was a coup, rather than the "virtue rule in the world and the meritorious person" praised by Confucianism."

"After Shun ascended the throne, he purged his political enemies, killed several of Yao's confidants, and slandered the other party as "Four Evils". Among them was Dayu's father Gun, so Dayu secretly accumulated strength and fought against Shun in Xia. After defeating Shun, he exiled him to Cangwu until his death. After Dayu's death, his son Qi ascended the throne, and Bo Yi conspired to usurp the throne and was killed by Qi.

"Yi Yin exiled Taijia to Tong Palace to regret it. After he reformed, he welcomed him back to become the king. The records in this book were completely reversed. Yi Yin usurped the throne and relied on his own, and Taijia escaped back to seize the throne and successfully killed Yi Yin. If it is true, then another ancient sage fell from the altar. Then, which statement is more accurate?",

Xiang Yu asked.

Primitive people who drink Mao Ru's blood will only have worse morality than modern people, not better.

Chen Ping said: "The history of the world is divided into two types. One is what happened in history, and the other is what people need to happen in history!"

"Yi Yin is the first hero of the founding country who assisted Shang Tang. If Yi Yin is completely denied, Tai Jia's grandfather Shang Tang will also be affected. Therefore, as the honorific, Tai Jia is likely to execute Yi Yin secretly and declare to the public that it was Yi Yin's welcome back. This is also a record in later generations. Tai Jia killed Yi Yin but did not kill his sons, and still appointed Yi Yin's sons and distributed Yi Yin's property to them. This is the manifestation of the sages!"

"Legends say that Confucius tampers with historical books and compiled the Spring and Autumn Period, turning the dark and bloody side of ancient kings into benevolent political and kind side into official history. As for this historical book, it is a secret history and cannot be circulated in the world!"

"Once it is spread, people will inevitably be in a state of turmoil, which is not conducive to stability!"

Xiang Yu sighed: "Stability overwhelms everything, and people's hearts cannot be confused. In the past, I praised Dong Hu's pen and wrote with straight strokes, but now I understand that there are inappropriate records... The so-called straight strokes may disturb people's hearts and destabilize stability!"

It was like Khrushchev, who directly criticized Stalin.

Maybe those are real history, but we can't say that once it is said, it will destroy people's hearts and destroy stability, and people's hearts will be in chaos and the team will be difficult to lead.

Obviously, Khrushchev didn't understand this.

In other words, Westerners have never understood these things. The bloody and cruelty of Greek mythology shows all this. And the Chinese have become much more mature and understand the truth.

All history is contemporary history.

In history, what has happened is not important, what is important needs to happen in history.

The purpose of history books is not to record what happened in history, but to stabilize people's hearts and society, and people's hearts cannot be confused.

Stabilization overwhelms everything, this is the first principle of being an emperor.

At this point, Qin Shihuang did not do well, and after he came to power, he directly killed Prime Minister Lu Buwei; similarly, after Qin Ershi came to power, he learned from his father and directly killed Prime Minister Li Si.

They didn't do well.

In later generations, after Emperor Wen of Han came to power, he used a certain minister to throw Zhou Bo into prison, and also let Zhou Bo go with the help of the princess, Empress Dowager Bo and others.

In this regard, it is similar to Liu Bang who first sent Xiao He to prison and then released him.

The footsteps were heard, the iron armor sounded, and the dragon walked in, holding a box in his hand, "King, you have killed Liu Bang, this is Liu Bang's head!"

As he said that, he opened the box.
