How did Liu Bang deal with the Xiang family after Xiang Yu s death?

did not kill the descendants of the Xiang family, and gave the descendants of the Xiang family the surname Liu. This is done to give the people the meaning of Liu Bang's benevolence and virtue, and to buy people's hearts. Historical Records.

Xiang Yu Benji mentions the ending of the Xiang family, all the branches of the Xiang clan, and the king of Han will not be punished. It is the title of Xiang Bo as the Marquis of Sheyang, and the Marquis of Tao, Pinggao, and Xuanwu are all Xiang's family, and the surname is Liu.

Treated the Xiang family well. Because Liu Bang also admired Xiang Yu's personality very much, he did not embarrass his family.

After Xiang Yu's death, Liu Bang did not exterminate all the people in his family, but gave them the surname Liu. Then in this way, they will stabilize their hearts so that they will not rebel.

It should be all disposed of, because Liu Bang is not a person who will leave hidden dangers for himself.

After the Xiang clan raised an army against Qin, Xiang Bo successively followed Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu to fight in the south and the north, and later because of his old relationship with Zhang Liang, he helped Zhang Liang many times when Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, and then indirectly helped Liu Bang. In the fifth year of the Han Dynasty (202 BC), after Xiang Yu was defeated, Xiang Bo surrendered to Liu Bang, and Liu Bang remembered that he had helped him many times, so he named him the Marquis of Sheyang, and gave him the surname Liu, and later changed his name to Liu Tang. In the third year of Emperor Hui (192 BC), Xiang Bo (Liu Tang) died, because his sister-in-law Liu Sui committed a crime and lost the qualification to inherit the title, and the Marquis of Sheyang was removed.

Liu Bang reused the Xiang clan, because most of the Xiang clansmen in Xiang Yu's hands were brave and good at fighting, after Liu Bang's success, in order to better stabilize his country, and also in order to use talents, he chose to reuse these people, but for various reasons, their final fate was not very good.

A member of the Xiang clan, who surrendered after Xiang Yu's defeat, was named the Marquis of Xuanwu by Liu Bang and was given the surname Liu. In addition, there is also the Xiang clan general Ying, Xiang Yu after destroying the Qin Dynasty and sealing the world, sent him to Changshan State to monitor Changshan King Zhang Er, after Chen Yu led his troops to attack Changshan State, Zhang Er was defeated and fled, and after killing Xiang Ying, he took his head to Liu Bang.

Liu Bang just settled Xiang Yu's family in Xiang Yu's hometown, and regularly sent them some money and some materials to let them enjoy their old age in peace.

After Xiang Yu's death, Liu Bang treated Xiang Yu's family very hatefully, changed all Xiang Yu's family names to Liu, and gave these people some fiefs, so that they completely forgot that they were Xiang Yu's descendants.

He killed all of Xiang Yu's family, because he was afraid that Xiang Yu's family would come to him for revenge, after all, he forced Xiang Yu to die.

Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are both very famous figures in the history of our country, they were in the same historical period at that time, although the two people are the last absolute relationship, but the achievements made by the two of them in their own fields are indelible, and because of their different personalities. The way of doing things is different, and the final fate is also different, so people have different evaluations of them.

We all know that Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu at that time, and Xiang Yu killed himself in Wujiang, but Liu Bang did not let Xiang Yu go at that time, and even did more excessive things to Xiang Yu, among the textbooks we studied, "Hongmen Banquet" and "Farewell My Concubine" are familiar events in history, and these two stories are related to Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, when they were kings in their own places, not only had the highest power in their own places, but also wanted to further expand their territory, So they reached into each other's territory, and the two fought for a long time.

Although Xiang Yu is a representative in our opinion, he is not as good as Liu Bang in terms of calculation, and Liu Bang was originally born in a poor family, and he did not have Xiang Yu's generous feelings as a prince and nobleman, and at that time, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought with Xiang Yu, many times they also took measures that everyone despised, so everyone said that Xiang Yu was a hero, but no one said that Liu Bang was a real hero. So he killed himself in Wujiang, and this story also touched many people at that time, and the historical situation at that time was also the story we knew later.

"Farewell My Concubine" mentioned that Xiang Yu was surrounded and suppressed by Liu Bang at that time, and he didn't have any good strategies at that time, he was able to break out of the encirclement, and he didn't want to live like that, so he went to die righteously, under normal circumstances, in our opinion, if their enemy died, then it was best to respect the dead, after all, in our opinion, people are dead, and there is nothing to pursue, just like people are dying and their words are good, there is no need to punish a corpse too much, But Liu Bang is not such a person, he will repay him, and he does not have enough respect for his opponent Xiang Yu, so after Xiang Yu died, he also carried out a very humiliating act against him, and he changed all people with the surname Xiang to the surname Liu.

Liu Bang sent someone to find Xiang Yu's family, and gave them knighthoods, and gave them a lot of money, but asked Xiang Yu's family to change their surname to Liu. There is no basis, this is a rumor.

According to historical records, after Xiang Yu's death, Liu Bang killed Xiang Yu's family, and he did this to prevent Xiang Yu's descendants from rebelling and endangering his dynasty.

Very good to his family. There is a basis for Liu Bang's attitude towards Xiang Yu's family in the history books.

After Xiang Yu's death, Liu Bang gave Xiang Yu's clan the surname Liu and created an image of a benevolent monarch for people. Whenever someone called them by a new name, they would remember the humiliation they had suffered, and it was effortless for Liu Bang to keep Xiang Yu's family in the shadows.

No matter what era it is, there is no good end for a loser, and the loser's family will be implicated, they are often more unsatisfactory than ordinary people, and they will be discriminated against and end up miserable no matter how they go. When Xiang Yu and Liu Bang competed for the world, Xiang Yu was the most likely person to seize the world and claim the emperor, Xiang Yu was stronger than Liu Bang's army, and there were many strategic generals on the project side, but Xiang Yu was too proud, thinking that he was invincible in the world, and did not put Liu Bang in the opponent's position, and missed the opportunity to get rid of Liu Bang again and again.

Liu Bang hibernated for many years, secretly cultivating his own strategists and generals, and finally forced Xiang Yu to a dead end, Xiang Yu is an arrogant warrior, he understands that if he is **, he will be abused, so he killed himself by the river. The situation of the two heroes competing for hegemony ended with Xiang Yu killing himself, and Liu Bang was proclaimed emperor. Liu Bang has unlimited scenery, and Xiang Yu and other clansmen are more miserable.

In order to consolidate his position, Liu Bang got rid of the generals who followed Xiang Yu one by one, and for Xiang Yu's clansmen, Liu Bang knighted Xiang Yu's family in order to show his generosity and benevolent image, and gave them the surname Liu, no matter what they do in the future, the country is surnamed Liu. The reason why Liu Bang can be called the emperor is because he is a corporal who is polite and virtuous, not blindly arrogant, and willing to listen to the opinions of others.

Liu Bang's behavior is very righteous on the surface, everyone praises him as a good emperor, but in fact it is very cruel to the people of the Xiang Yu clan, and no one is willing to take the surname of the enemy, which is a great shame for them. These people who were forced to change their surnames were mentally humiliated.

Liu Bang did not treat his family well, and adopted the method of dividing Xiang Yu's descendants quickly. Liu Bang is a special person who cuts the grass and eradicates the roots, and he will not leave a disaster for himself.

He is very good to his family, Liu Bang wants to let people see his generosity in this way, and let many outstanding talents come to this country.

Liu Bang was still quite good to Xiang Yu's family, and he didn't kill them all, so that Xiang Yu's family had a chance to survive.

When Liu Bang and Xiang Yu confronted each other in Guangwu, Xiang Yu put Liu Bang's father, Taigong, on Gao Yan and threatened Liu Bang to surrender, but Liu Bang thought that he and Xiang Yu were brothers, so he said that his father was Xiang Yu's father, and he wanted to kill his father, but he could give his brother a piece of the pie.

Xiang Yu was originally going to kill Taigong, but if this is the case, Liu Bang loves Jiangshan and does not respect his parents. Of course, Liu Bang couldn't impress Xiang Yu when he said this, so Xiang Yu would not regard Taigong as his father. Liu Bang's words were just a kind of helpless ridicule, because no matter how Liu Bang begged Xiang Yu not to kill Taigong, as long as you didn't surrender, Xiang Yu might kill Taigong.

However, Xiang Yu listened to Uncle Xiang's words, and only let go of the prince, Uncle Xiang said that the world does not know, and the world does not care about the family, although killing is useless, only harmful.

Why did Xiang Bo say this, Liu Bang said very clearly, I and you Xiang Yu are sworn brothers, I am the elder brother, you are the younger brother, my father is your father, there is no reason for a son to kill Lao Tzu. It is unfilial piety to kill you. It is unjust to me Liu Bang.

It also indicates your incompetence. "The world is unknown"This means that now that the battle situation is uncertain, it is definitely better to keep Liu Taigong as a hostage than to kill him, this is an obvious truth. Xiang Yu was angry for a while, but he didn't understand, but Xiang Bo understood as soon as he reminded him.

Of course, Xiang Bo has his own selfish intentions, but this proposal is basically for Xiang Yu's good. In the future, he did negotiate peace with Liu Bang by returning Liu Bang's family.

To put it simply, it is useless to kill, and according to Xiang Yu's character, he is ashamed to do this. Keeping it more or less made Liu Bang have some scruples.

Xiang Yu has the courage and no strategy, he is so happy and famous, he thinks that killing Liu Bang's family is not a skill.

In the fifth year of the Han Dynasty (202 BC), Liu Bang, Han Xin, Peng Yue, Yingbu and others jointly formed a siege of Xiang Yu, and then Xiang Yu killed himself in Wujiang, and the Chu-Han War finally ended in the victory of Han.

After the death of Xiang Yu, all the ruling areas of Chu surrendered to Liu Bang, only Lu State could not hold on, when Liu Bang ordered people to show Xiang Yu's head to Lu State, Lu State announced that he would return to the Han Dynasty (Han Nai led the world soldiers to slaughter him, for his etiquette and righteousness, for the Lord Death Festival, is to hold the head of the king of Xiang to see Lu, Lu's father and brother are surrendered). Liu Bang felt the loyalty of Lu Guo to Xiang Yu, and buried Xiang Yu in Gucheng with the gift of Lu Gong. So, how did Liu Bang treat Xiang Yu's family after eliminating Xiang Yu?

All the branches of the clan belong to the Han king, and they are not punished. It is the title of Xiang Bo as the Marquis of Sheyang. Taohou, Pinggao Hou, and Xuanwu Hou are all Xiang's family, and they are given the surname Liu.

The above record is from the "Historical Records of Xiang Yu", that is, after Xiang Yu's death, none of his clansmen were retaliated against by Liu Bang, and four of them were given the surname Liu in addition to being a marquis (being given the surname by the emperor was a high honor in ancient times). But the four people who were named above were all already taking refuge in Liu Bang very early, or "secretly refuting" in Liu Bang.

Sheyang Hou Xiangbo.

In a previous article, Guo Shijun (General Theory of National History) once said that the two uncles of Xiang Yu mentioned in the history books, namely Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo, were almost worlds apart in the way they treated Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu grew up under Xiang Liang's upbringing and education, and became the general of Chu under Xiang Liang's hand, Xiang Yu's military ability is closely related to Xiang Liang's cultivation. But Xiang Bo was completely different, he "turned his elbow out" many times, not only saved the life of Liu Bang's father Liu Taigong, but also became Liu Bang's own life-saving benefactor at the "Hongmen Banquet".

Therefore, although Xiang Bo followed Xiang Yu until the last moment, Liu Bang still made him a marquis after the establishment of the Han Dynasty. And Xiang Bo's wealth did not last long - in the third year of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty (194 BC), Xiang Bo died, and his son Liu Sui was unable to inherit the title because of his guilt, so Xiang Bo's descendants were reduced to commoners.

Taohou Xiangxiang. Xiang Xiang was the third son of Xiang Yan and Xiang Yu's uncle, but he surrendered to Liu Bang as early as the second year of the Han Dynasty (205 BC) after being defeated by Guan Ying in the Battle of Dingtao, and later made a marquis for his contribution to the suppression of the Tuibu Rebellion. In the seventh year of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty (188 BC), Liu Xiang (who had changed his sex) was abolished as a marquis for his guilt, and when Empress Lu was in power, he restored his title in order to win people's hearts. In addition to successfully inheriting Taohou, his son Liu She also became the prime minister of the Han Dynasty after Zhou Yafu.

Pinggao Marquis Xiang him.

Xiang He, also known as Xiang Tuo, was Xiang Yu's nephew, who surrendered after being defeated by Guan Ying in the first year of the Han Dynasty (206 BC), and he was the first member of the Xiang clan to submit to Liu Bang. The Xiang family has been prominent for four generations, and his great-grandson Liu Sheng (who has the same name as King Jing of Zhongshan) lost his marquis during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Only the deeds of these three Xiang clansmen are recorded in the history books, and the Xuanwu Marquis has not even handed down their names, and there is no record of Xiang Yu's heirs in the history books.

There is no clear record in the later history books, and it is not difficult to see from Liu Bang's own character that Xiang Yu's descendants should have been exterminated, which is also in line with Liu Bang's consistent style.

Liu Bang did not brutally kill Xiang Yu's family, but took good care of them and treated them very well, and it was precisely because of this that his reputation increased greatly.

After Liu Bang eliminated Xiang Yu, he also treated Xiang Yu's family very well, and the descendants of Xiang Yu's family were not passed down from generation to generation as officials, but they also took good care of them, which is also Liu Bang's style.
