When Liu Bang had just immigrated to Guanzhong, someone complained that Zhang Ao wanted to assassinate Liu Bang. Liu Bang was shocked, how could Zhang Ao be so incompetent and meek, how could he assassinate him? However, Liu Bangsu didn't like Zhang Ao, so naturally he would not tolerate it, so he immediately

Order Zhang Ao to be arrested.

You said that Liu Bang was sent from Pingcheng to the army, passed by Zhang Ao's fiefdom in Zhao State, and scolded Zhang Ao bloody for no reason, but Liu Bang almost died because of it. What on earth was going on?

Let me explain it in detail.

Zhang Ao is the son of Zhang Er, the founding hero of the Han Dynasty (he died in the fifth year of Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty (202 BC), his posthumous title was Jing, and he was known as King Zhao Jing in history). After Zhang Er's death, Zhang Ao succeeded his father Zhao Jing.

The throne of the king. Soon, Zhang Ao married Liu

The story of how Bang's eldest daughter, Princess Lu Yuan, and Zhang Ao became the king's son-in-law was as simple as that. Zhang Er was extremely powerful, but Zhang Ao was honest and incompetent. Liu Bang hated loyal and honest people the most in his life, such as his eldest son Liu Ying. His eldest daughter grew up

princess marry

After Zhang Ao's death, Liu Bang naturally felt aggrieved, but he had no other choice but to curse his meek son-in-law. When Liu Bang cursed, Zhang Ao just bowed his head and endured it, obeying his promise. But the more this happened, the more Liu Bang looked down on Zhang Ao.

own length

The girl actually married such a cowardly person! So Liu Bang wanted to marry Princess Lu Yuan away, but Zhang Ao had a good mother-in-law. Princess Lu Yuan’s mother, Lu Fei, protected Zhang Ao in front of Liu Bang and always said that Zhang Ao was a loyal person.

Honest and very reliable.

In addition to having the fiefdom left by his father, Zhang Ao is also the emperor's son-in-law. Not only does the queen favor him, but he also has a group of loyal and brave ministers in his palace. So although Zhang Ao is weak, he is very lucky. Among these ministers,

Among them, Zhao Xiangguangao and Zhao Wu were the most brave and courageous. Both of them had followed Zhang Er to conquer the world. Although they were both over sixty years old, their swords had not aged, and their heroic spirit had not diminished.

A scholar dies for a confidant. Liu Bang scolded Zhang Ao. Guan Gao and Zhao Wu knew that their master was a weak and weak king, far different from his father, so they couldn't stand it. Afterwards, Guan Gao and Zhao Wu

afternoon persuasion

Zhang Ao said: "There are heroes everywhere in the world, and those who are capable should first establish themselves as emperors. You are Liu Bang's son-in-law, and you should serve him respectfully, but Liu Bang is too rude to you, let us kill him!" Guan Gao means,

Want to embrace

Zhang Ao was appointed emperor. But when Zhang Ao heard this, he was dumbfounded and bit his fingers until they bled. He said slowly: "You are wrong! The late king could not even save the Zhao Kingdom. Fortunately, the emperor helped.

us

In order to restore the country, the emperor's help will be passed down to our Zhao family from generation to generation. Every soil, stone, flower and tree in Zhao country depends on the emperor for its survival. I beg you not to say such things next time.

"

Zhang Er was a great sage in the society who fought all over the world. He was so brave. But now Zhang Ao said this and lifted Liu Bang to the sky. Guan Gao, Zhao Wu and others felt very uncomfortable. The master did not dare to do it, so they could only express their hatred.

The intention is to point to Liu Bang.

After hearing what Zhang Ao said, Guan Gao and others discussed privately: "King Zhao thinks so, but we don't think so. King Zhao has the air of an elder, and if he doesn't betray his morality, that's his business. But we will never be humiliated.

Liu Bang insulted King Zhao, we will

Kill him. We kill Liu Bang. That is our business, so why should we bring bad influence to King Zhao? If this matter succeeds, the credit goes to King Zhao; if it fails, we will bear it ourselves." There are loyal ministers.

So, what more do you ask for?

But?

There are always so many things in the world, but?

In the winter of the eighth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (199 BC), one year after Liu Bang cursed Zhang Ao, Liu Bang personally went to Wuhuan (now Zhengding County, Hebei Province) to conquer the old tribe of King Xin of Han. The determined Guan Gao and others finally waited for a good opportunity. They

Knowing that Liu Bang would stay temporarily in Bairen (southwest of today's Longyao County, Hebei Province), they hid in the wall of the toilet. As long as Liu Bang went to the toilet, he would definitely die.

When Liu Bang came to Bairen, he wanted to stay there for a night. But suddenly, Liu Bang was moved and asked, "What is the name of this county?" Others said it was called Bairen. Bairen, Liu Bang thought about it and said, "Baren."

People are forced by others!" So Liu Bang led the army and walked away quickly, as if avoiding ghosts.

After waiting for dawn all night in tension and depression, I discovered that Liu Bang had already escaped. The assassination was unsuccessful, but the lack of success does not mean that there was no result. There was a result, and that was the incident.

In the ninth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (198 BC), Guan Gao's assassination of Liu Bang was informed to Liu Bang by his enemies. Liu Bang was furious and immediately arrested everyone in Zhang Ao's house. Zhao Wu and others thought that sooner or later they would die, so in order to avoid humiliation

, change it neatly and commit suicide immediately. Guan Gao has a slightly higher level of knowledge.

He scolded Zhao Wu and other people who committed suicide and said: "Who ordered you to assassinate Liu Bang? King Zhao did not participate in the murder, but he was arrested together; if all the assassins died, who would do it for King Zhao?"

"Excuse me?" So Guangao, like Zhang Ao, got into the prison car and came to Chang'an.

When they came to Chang'an, they were interrogated. Guan Gao said that the assassination of Liu Bang was done by themselves, but Zhang Ao didn't know and had nothing to do with Zhang Ao. Liu Bang didn't believe it and got angry and ordered the jailer to torture him for interrogation. The jailer tortured him to death, and again

He was whipped, and his flesh was scalded with a red-hot iron. His body was completely bruised, and he almost died, but he still insisted on his original words. Liu Bang tortured and extorted a confession because he wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Zhang Ao.

Lu Fei, who felt sorry for his daughter, knew that Zhang Ao had been arrested and imprisoned, and said to Liu Bang: "Princess Lu Yuan is our daughter, and Zhang Ao is our son-in-law. How could he assassinate you?" Liu Bang was furious and asked: "What if Zhang Ao was taken in?"

Emperor, are there still few women in the world?" This sentence can be said to be a blow to the bottom of the fire. After hearing this, Lu Pheasant could only shut up.

Tingwei told Liu Bang the interrogation details one by one. Liu Bang said: "What a strong man! Who can go to me in private to find out the truth?" The doctor said: "I have always known this person. He attaches great importance to credibility and will never betray his master."

." Liu Bang ordered Duke Xie to go to prison to find out the truth. A large part of the reason why Liu Bang was able to defeat Xiang Yu was the contribution of this private friendship.

Liu Bang sent Duke Xie to inquire about it. Duke Xie first told Guan Gao how he had worked so hard, and they talked deeply. Finally, he asked Zhang Ao whether he was involved in this matter. Guan Gao said: "I love my parents, wife, and sons.

Girl, isn’t this human nature? Now the people of my three clans deserve to die according to their crimes. Do I want their death in exchange for King Zhao’s life? It’s just that King Zhao did not rebel. The assassination of Liu Bang was our own doing.”

General Guan Gao told Xi Gong exactly the cause and effect, and Xi Gong told Liu Bang, and Liu Bang pardoned Zhang Ao.

"Loyal to the liver, righteous and courageous, worthy of the sun and the moon", these eight words are well deserved. Zhang Ao is really lucky to have such a good general. Although Lu Fei protects Zhang Ao, it is because of Princess Lu Yuan's relationship, rather than sincere love for Zhang Ao.

Ao.

The cold king also has a soft heart. Liu Bang admired Guan Gao's high integrity, so he asked Duke Xie to release him. Duke Xi said to Guan Gao: "King Zhao has been pardoned, and the emperor values ​​your integrity very much, so he

Even you let it go.

Guan Gao said: "The reason why I endured the humiliation and survived was just to defend King Zhao. Since King Zhao is not guilty, I have fulfilled my responsibility. I am guilty of regicide, so how can I have the face to serve the emperor!" As soon as he finished speaking,

He turned around suddenly, hit the wall, broke his neck and died.

Guan Gao was a good general and a sage, he was loyal and courageous, but a thousand-mile horse could not meet Bole, so he wasted his talent and died worthless. Unappreciated talent is the absurdity of life.

Zhang Ao saved his life, and Princess Lu Yuan was still his wife. However, after this incident, his status was completely different. First, he was demoted to the title of Marquis of Xuanping, and all the guests in his house were regarded as Hou Xiang by Liu Bang.
