How smart is Zhang Liang?
You can see from three things!
The first thing is that he saved Liu Bang's life at the Hongmen banquet.
Without him, perhaps Liu Bang would have returned to his hometown, and the Han family behind him would naturally be gone. Then let's see what happened at this party.
This banquet was initiated by Fan Zeng to kill Liu Bang, but the result was not satisfactory. When Liu Bang went, he said, "Your master must be humble and put himself in a lower position." Liu Bang is a very proud man. Although he is a civilian, he never looks down on himself. Therefore, when Sean asked him for respect, he was a little reluctant, but considering that he was usually reliable, he did it. Xiang Yu was determined to keep him here, but seeing Liu Bang's sincere attitude, he didn't look like a person who would play tricks behind his back. He was shaken for a moment. Fan Zeng's attitude towards Xiang Yu was not as firm as before, saying that he would show Liu Bang the sword. In fact, the place where I want to give him a performance is to give him an unexpected death.
During the dinner, Sean let Liu Bangxian go and stay by himself. Liu Bang's departure is basically nothing, but the follow-up of his stay is still a big problem. But since he will stay, there is a solution. He bribed Xiang Yu's uncle in advance. After Liu Bang left, let Xiang Bo tell Fan Zeng that the army was in a hurry and Liu Bang had to go first. Fan Zeng was deeply disappointed with Xiang Yu's soft nature at this moment, so he didn't have time to talk to him. As for Xiang Yu himself, he has no time and can't cope with his father. The best thing about Sean this time is that he accurately calculated everyone's psychology at the party, and he was free to use everyone's different psychology at different times.
The second thing is that he helped Liu Ying ascend to the throne of the Prince.
Liu Ying himself is not fit to be an emperor. One is that he is not decisive enough, and the other is that he does not have the ambition that an emperor should have. Then why did he help Liu Ying ascend to the throne of the Prince? The most popular person at that time was Qijia. It is reasonable to support the children of Qi as princes, but he just doesn't play by common sense. Why? In fact, he helped Lu instead of Liu Ying. When Qi's son becomes a prince, Qi may not be able to keep the position of the prince, but if Liu Ying becomes a prince, the Han family's world will be basically stable, which shows that his vision is far away.
The third thing is that when Liu Bang wanted to give him his official title, he offered to disarm and return to the field.
It was really puzzling at that time, and Xiao He even asked him why he chose to leave at this time. Since the future is bright, he should go back. Time proved that his decision was correct. Han Xin was designed to die at the peak of his life. As for who designed it, it remains to be verified. Although Xiao He followed Lv Zhi, the final result was tragic. Only he can see that Liu Bang can suffer, but he can't enjoy life, knowing that Lv Zhi is fickle. He spent the rest of his life between mountains and rivers, and his old age was very quiet.
According to historical records, Sean knew the way of Huang Lao well and didn't want to stay in power. In his later years, he traveled around the world with Korean pine nuts. In fact, this is Sean's wisdom. Little known is that Sean's wisdom has made this family brilliant for more than 2,000 years, and it is still there! Exaggerated, Sean's interest in the situation later created the second largest family in China, and now it has spread to the 64th generation!
One of Sean's wisdom has made this family brilliant for more than 2,000 years?
After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Sean quickly retreated, basically staying indoors, and kept a low profile at ordinary times. Liu Bang gave him a "super big red envelope", and Sean also refused. Therefore, in three outstanding heroes of early han dynasty, Xiao He was jailed, Han Xin was directly killed, and Zhang Liangshan rarely completed this project.
Perhaps because of the low-key and indifferent nature, although the Zhang family had a short low tide, it finally survived and almost made the family brilliant for more than two thousand years.
Sean's eldest son, Zhang Buyi, attacked and sealed Liu Hou. He was sentenced to death and deprived of the post-nobility for his participation in the murder of the old nobles of the former State of Chu. Later, after some operation, I spent all my fortune and finally became a night watchman. According to historical records, "Liu Hou has no doubt that he sat with his doctor and murdered Chu History. When he died, he was redeemed for Shidan and the country was excluded. " This should be the lowest ebb for the Sean family.
There is no doubt that Zhang's descendants, although they have not recovered the glory of "Liu Hou", are Zhang Dian, their grandson, and Rizo, their great-grandson, became Yang. Generally speaking, the Zhang family is still a giant.
If the Sean family is like this, it will decline sooner or later. Throughout the ages, there is no immortal family in officialdom, and Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Qin Gui and Yan Song will eventually decline. So, how did the Sean family flourish for more than two thousand years?
It's actually quite simple. The so-called "jumping out of the three realms, not in the five elements" will naturally last forever without being affected by the rise and fall of the dynasty. This is the case with Confucius' home in China. Anyone who is an emperor needs Confucius' door, so he can exist today. The Sean family and the Confucius family are the same.
As mentioned above, Sean was well versed in the way of Huang Lao, and in his later years he traveled around the world with Korean pine nuts. More than 400 years later, Sean's hobby or wisdom was thoroughly carried forward by later generations, that is, Zhang Daoling, the eighth grandson of Sean, founded Shi Tian Taoism, thus forming China's "Shi Tian family"-a Taoist leader family that flourished for two thousand years!
Any dynasty, ancient and modern, needed the help of the Shi Tian family to appease believers to obey the rule, even in the Yuan and Qing dynasties. Therefore, the Shi Tian family founded by the descendants of Sean became the second largest family in China after Confucius.
Today, the Shi Tian family still exists and has spread to the 64th generation of "Zhang Zi", which has been brilliant for more than 2,000 years and has a great influence among domestic channel people. At present, Zhang Tianshi series, which is widely known in Longhushan, Jiangxi, is a descendant of Sean.
It is worth mentioning that there are two big families in China, one is the Confucius family and the other is the Shi Tian family. Their different fields are brilliant to the extreme, the so-called "south opening and north opening". Among them, the formation of Shi Tian family can actually be regarded as an extension of Sean's wisdom.
