Liu Taigong (281-197 BC) would like to try the tender grass, but the years are not spared. When Liu Bang (December 28, 256 BC – June 1, 195 BC) became emperor (202 BC), he was already 79 years old, and the ancients were already remarkable at this age, and they had already cleaned up six roots. In his lifetime, he can see his indisputable son King, who has ascended to the throne of Taishang, and Liu Taigong is already the first person in Chinese history, and with such achievements, he can smile at the Nine Springs
We all know that Liu Bang's uprising was very late, belonging to the kind of late instrument, but how late it was, it would still surprise people when he said it, the year he officially became the king of Han, he was actually fifty-four years old! Fifty-four years old is a concept, and even today it belongs to a bad old man who is about to retire, but he has done a great job at this age. In fact, after Liu Bang became the King of Han at the age of fifty-four, he reigned for a total of eight years until the day of his death, but this old lady Liu was very tenacious in life, and died two years after Liu Bang's death, if the old man's concubine tried to create a few more little brothers for Liu Bang, I am afraid that his health could not be so good.
Liu Taigong was an honest man, he just enjoyed his old age in peace, there was no need to take concubines to embarrass the royal family. Liu Taigong was a lovely man, and Liu Bang, who became emperor, came to visit his father and treated him with family etiquette. Later, the butler said that the emperor was the king of a country, and Liu Taigong should first perform the courtesy of the monarch and the courtier, and then perform the ceremony of father and son. After hearing this, Liu Taigong thought it was reasonable, and then Liu Bang came to see him again, and he took a broom and greeted him respectfully at the door! During the reign of Qin Shi Huang, Liu Bang did not produce, often went to the eldest brother's house to eat and drink, and the eldest sister-in-law deliberately scraped the bottom of the pot with a spoon to remind Liu Bang that there was no food to eat. Because of this incident, after Liu Bang became emperor, he never named the eldest brother's son as a marquis, and when Liu Taigong learned of it, he said to his son: The eldest grandson did not have a marquis, which is not appropriate! Liu Bang named his eldest nephew "Scraping Soup Waiting".
Emperor Taishang did take a concubine, but not after Liu Bang became emperor. When Emperor Taishang was still a peasant, Emperor Taishang took this concubine, lived with Emperor Taishang, and gave birth to a younger brother for Liu Bang. This younger brother of Liu Bang was an all-rounder in literature and martial arts, who exerted a lot of strength in Liu Bang's confrontation with Xiang Yu, and he was also Liu Bang's brother, so he was used by Liu Bang.
