Chapter 439 Can be counted as half

As we all know, when Empress Lu was in power, those princes and kings of the Liu family, as well as a large number of heroes, had a very difficult life.

Many times I go to sleep at night, but when I wake up the next day, I am already a prisoner.

There are not many founding heroes who can survive this period, and Xia Houying is one of them.

And the main reason why he was able to survive, and was even promoted to rank in the process, was that Emperor Hui Liu Ying and Empress Lu himself were very grateful to Xia Houdun and Xia Houying for saving Liu with his life. Ying and Princess Lu Yuan didn't let Liu Bang kick the two children out of the car directly.

Otherwise, Emperor Hui himself would die sooner rather than later, and Empress Lu would completely lose her chance to be Empress Dowager and even control the government because she lost her own flesh and blood.

At this time, Liu Ruyi might be the high-ranking emperor, and the empress dowager is Madam Qi. It is conceivable what will happen to Empress Lu.

It was precisely because of this kindness that Xia Houying lived quite comfortably during Empress Lu's period, and had a good relationship with the entire Lu family. India was considered by the Lu family as their own, just like the Fan family.

Therefore, Xia Houying often used this identity to beg for mercy for many heroes who were about to plead guilty, and saved their lives. This made the hero group feel that Xia Houying was also their own.

But when the heroes wanted to kill the Lu family, although they quickly killed the stupid Lu family, how to deal with the young emperor who stayed in the palace was a big problem.After all, the young emperor is a veritable emperor at this time, and they are all the emperor's courtiers.

They can use the name of the Qing emperor to kill the Lu family who committed crimes below, but if they dare to attack the emperor, the nature will be completely different.

Although Chen Ping came up with an excellent excuse, saying that the current little emperor is not the blood of the Liu family, but a baby bought from the people by Empress Lu in order to maintain her rule, thus establishing a legal basis for the abolition of the emperor. Foundation.

But the emperor is the emperor after all, no one dares to be the first to attack the emperor.

It turned out that Xia Houying drove the car into the palace silently at this time, and then picked up the children of Emperor Shao and Emperor Hui to clean up the palace, and these children died outside that night. Who was it? One can imagine the moving hands.

Finally, looking at all the records about Xia Houying in the history books, you will find that Xia Houying is not only capable of both civil and military skills, but also very good at judging the situation, and the most important feature is that he is good at making friends, or keeping favors.

When Liu Xu wanted to understand the characteristics of Xia Houying, and then looked at the historical scene where Xia Houying kept people under the sword, the reason became quite clear.

That is, Xia Houying is a man of both civil and military skills, and also possesses considerable wisdom, so he never thought of killing Han Xin from the beginning.

Although the history books did not say what crime Han Xin committed to be beheaded, but the book said that Han Xin committed a joint crime.And with Han Xin's character, he should not take the initiative to make fatal mistakes.

So the situation at that time can be easily inferred that 13 people under Han Xin made mistakes, and Han Xin, as the leader of these 13 people, committed the crime of negligence, so he was beheaded by these 13 people together, but in essence Han Xin is actually innocent.

So Xia Houying beheaded the first 13 people very simply, but when it came to Han Xin, Xia Houying must have hesitated.

After all, Xia Houying knew that Han Xin was an unlucky person who was implicated innocently. In addition, Han Xin's official position was actually appointed by Liu Bang himself. At the same time, Han Xin was also a soldier with Xiang Yu. Maybe kill Han Xin at will.

At this time, Han Xin just yelled, "Does Peigong still want the world? He wants to kill a strong man like me!"

On the one hand, this sentence is to show one's ability and courage, but on the other hand, is it not a kind of begging for mercy?

Xia Houying was already hesitant to kill Han Xin, but when Han Xin said this again, Xia Houying naturally hesitated even more.

At the same time, in fact, there is another description in the history books at this time

"Duke Teng's words are amazing, his appearance is strong, but he will not cut him off!"

Duke Teng was referring to Xia Houying. Sima Qian said that Xia Houying was surprised by Han Xin's words, and at the same time saw Han Xin's extraordinary appearance, so he released Han Xin without killing him.

Here is a special addition, Han Xin's appearance is extraordinary.

Although our teachers have taught us since we were young, don't judge people by their appearance, and don't judge whether a person is capable or not just because of his appearance.

There is nothing wrong with this sentence itself, but since the world warns us not to judge people by their appearance, it means that most of the time, the world judges people by their appearance.

In fact, if a person has good looks, he will be able to get a lot of favors that day.To some extent, being ugly is a kind of original sin, which is the cruelest truth of society.

And this cruelty was even more obvious in ancient times.

In modern society, judging people by their appearance is politically incorrect. No one dares to say in public that they judge people by their appearance. All laws also clearly stipulate that people cannot be treated differently because of their appearance.

But in ancient times, judging people by their appearance was a public matter. Even when the imperial court screened officials and held imperial examinations, there was a special requirement.

That is, those who are required to participate in screening and imperial examinations must have a good appearance and no physical defects.

And when you take part in the last level of the imperial examination, the first screening criterion is not how good the test paper is, but whether the person is handsome. No matter how talented the test papers come out, you will not be qualified for the palace test at all, because your appearance will stain the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor and at the same time damage the dignity of the country.

That's right, to be ugly is to damage the dignity of the country, which was the standard of that era.

On the contrary, if you are handsome, you can get a lot of convenience and recognition.

If you look carefully at the history books, you will find that there are many famous figures in history. When they turned from obscurity to prosperity, there will be evidence in the history books that "because of their extraordinary appearance, they are different."

So at this time, when Xia Houying was hesitating in every possible way, he found that Han Xin could not only speak and have courage, but also looks tmd handsome, so Xia Houying completely let go of his murderous intentions and released Han Xin.

Although this may sound ugly, when the three elements of "innocence" + "strange speech" + "extraordinary appearance" are added together, Xia Houying, who is both civil and military, and good at making friends, Naturally, he would not let go of such an opportunity to make friends, so he sold Han Xin a favor.

Moreover, Xia Houying will chat with Han Xin from time to time in the next period of time. During the chat, Han Xin will naturally reveal his research and opinions on the general trend of the world, and Xia Houying will be completely shocked by Han Xin. In the end, Han Xin was recommended to Xiao He instead.

After waiting for many years, someone asked Han Xin, besides your old man, who else in this big Han country can fight.

As a result, Han Xin thought for a long time, and only said that Zhou Bo was okay, and then added, "Xia Houying can be counted as half!"
