Translation of Biography of Xiao He
Translation; Xiao He was a famous minister in the early Han Dynasty and the second-in-command of the Central Committee when the Han Dynasty was founded. Xiao He, a native of Peifeng, lives near Liu Bang. Xiao He's ability is very strong, and he belongs to the kind of gifted child who can get high marks in any exam. It is easy to get mixed up with a small official. In the troubled times at the end of the Qin Dynasty, this guy Xiao has a pair of thief eyes. When Liu Bang was a kid, he knew that this rascal was not simple. He often helps Liu Bang in some trivial matters as an emotional investment. Later, Liu Bang became the so-called Tingchang, and Xiao He often advised Liu Bang. Liu Bang went out to handle affairs, others gave three taels of silver as red envelopes, and Xiao He gave five taels to himself. That's what the history books say, so I wonder: Is bribery prescient?

Xiao He has a good job and is very tactful in dealing with people. If the relationship between the superior and the subordinate is properly managed, he will soon have a chance of promotion: according to the performance ranking, Xiao He, who ranks first, can be transferred to the central government. However, Xiao He clearly saw that the Qin Dynasty was in jeopardy, so he made excuses for various reasons. This is undoubtedly a very wise way to deal with the situation in the world as a whole.

Later, Liu Bang began to rebel. With the previous relationship, Xiao He naturally became Liu Bang's main deputy. On the battlefield, Xiao He didn't show any special performance, but before Liu Bang's troops invaded Xianyang and Qin Dou Xiang Yu, Xiao He showed the quality of being a first-class politician-when others were looting gold and silver treasures, he went straight to the Prime Minister's Office and an imperial office and collected all the map documents. Although Xiang Yu came late, he could have caught some leftovers, but this fool burned everything with a big fire and naturally caught nothing. In fact, Xiang Yu's fist was very big at that time, so I asked Liu Bang to send one. This thick line actually thinks that as long as the force is strong, it can rule the world. That's ridiculous! In this way, Liu Bang clearly knew the blockades in various places, the people's hukou, the strength of the people, and the sufferings of the people. Even if Xiang Yu was defeated again and again, with Liu Bang's poor military quality, he could still find a way to escape.

So Xiao He became the prime minister of Liu Bang.

After the demise of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang's strength was still unable to compete with Xiang Yu, so Liu Bang retreated to Bashu and adopted Sean's suggestion-burning plank roads-to show his peace of mind and have fun in the Sichuan Basin. At that time, the internal affairs of Bashu were very bad and the development level was very low. In addition, many people can't stand loneliness when they first arrive at this terrible place and start to run away. For Liu Bang Group, this is a great crisis, because it is impossible to compete with Xiang Yu for the world if talents cannot be retained. At this time, Xiao He performed a play of "Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon", and found a military genius for Liu Bang Group, which could help Liu Bang defeat Xiang Yu.

Liu Bang went out to fight with Xiang Yu, leaving Xiao He to look after himself for the rest of his life. At this stage, Xiao He showed extraordinary internal affairs ability. Whenever Liu Bang was beaten out of the water by Xiang Yu, he lost his teacher's land, people died, food was either robbed or burned, and Xiao He could always supplement Liu Bang's strength in the rear.

Chu and Han contended. At the stalemate stage, Liu Bangyou sent people back from the front to express condolences to Xiao He for many times. Just as Xiao He was being silly, someone nearby reminded him: "Liu Bang is totally embarassed outside, and he still treats you as an idle person. Obviously, he suspects you. Why not send all the people in your clan who can fight to the front (as hostages)? ), Liu Bang will be happy. " Xiao He suddenly realized and did it at once. Liu Bang was very happy. This cautious attitude made Xiao He die a fair death among the famous officials in the early Han Dynasty. Since ancient times, the great heroes who have contributed to Gao Zhen have basically failed to achieve good results. On the other hand, another reason for Xiao He's happy ending is that he is good at interpersonal relationships. No matter what happens, someone reminds him and helps him speak. -especially civil servants. This can also be proved from later events.

After getting rid of Xiang Yu's classmates, the first thing to do is to reward their achievements. Of course, the heroes of farming have been arguing for more than a year (damn it! Look at efficiency. )。 Liu Bang thought that Xiao He contributed the most, so he raised the most. -Of course, we should get rid of Han Xin, Ying Bu and others who were banned and then cut off one by one. So the generals quit, saying, "We killed the enemy in front, fought bloody battles, and Xiao He only danced behind, and we got more rewards than us. Is this too unreasonable? "

Liu Bang said, "You have all hunted and know how to beat dogs. Hunting relies on hunting dogs to catch prey, but it is people who point out the trail of prey. You can catch the prey, the credit is equivalent to the dog, and Xiao He's instructions, the credit is equivalent to people. In addition, you just follow me alone or a few people, and dozens of people from all clans of Xiao He follow me. Of course, the credit is the greatest. "

This metaphor is nonsense, and the way of argument behind it is completely sophistry, but since the boss said so, your military commanders naturally dare not say much.

After sealing the hero, there are seating arrangements. Ministers all said, "Cao Can, Hou of Pingyang, made the greatest contribution. He attacked the city and was scarred (there were more than 70 places), which should be the first. " Liu Bang gave Xiao He the most awards, so it's a bit unreasonable to rank Xiao He first-you can't always quibble. However, at this time, some flatterers saw the doorway, and Hou Equn of Shanhaiguan began to make excuses for the boss. He said: "These people are talking nonsense. Although Cao Can attacked the city on the battlefield, it was only a temporary contribution. Eldest brother and Xiang Yu were at loggerheads for five years, and suffered repeated defeats. All the troops were wiped out and they fled alone. However, Xiao He was able to supplement the boss's troops from Guanzhong and sent tens of thousands of troops to the boss many times before he was convened. When the boss and Xiang Yu were at loggerheads, when there was no food, Xiao He kept sending food from Guanzhong. Although the boss is often defeated in the east of Lushan Mountain, Xiao He can always give the boss the strongest support in Guanzhong, which is a great achievement! If there were no Cao Can, how much loss would there be to the Han Dynasty? Temporary credit cannot be compared with permanent credit, so Xiao He is the first and Cao Can is the second at most. " When Liu Bang was happy, he ordered Xiao He to be the first, and he could take his sword to court without kneeling and knocking like other ministers. On that day, Liu Bang raised more than 10 Xiao He and his son, each of whom had a food city, and there were as many as 2,000 food cities in Xiao He alone. In this way, Xiao He collected 10,000 times the money he gave Liu Bang in those years, and the return on this investment is really unparalleled. It is estimated that even Warren Buffett will admit defeat.

The students of E-Jun found the reason why Liu Bang put Xiao He first, which naturally paid off: Liu Bang thought E-Jun had the wisdom of knowing people, expanded his food city, and renamed E-Jun Anpinghou. It can be seen that the only trick to be an official is to try to figure out the meaning.

After the founding of the Han Dynasty 1 1 year, Chen Yi rebelled and Liu Bang led the troops to attack. At that time, Han Xin, the so-called Huaiyin Hou, was obtained by Liu Bang from the king of Chu, and wanted to rebel-Chen Yi and Han Xin had planned, one was mercenary, the other was resentful and wanted revenge. Xiao He did not hesitate to persuade Liu Bang's wife, Ms. Lu, to kill Han Xin. Although Ms. Lu is not a good crop, I'm afraid Han Xin wouldn't be so easy to mess with without Xiao He's help. Because Xiao He has a story about chasing Han Xin under the moon, Han Xin never thought that Xiao He would help others plot against himself in this way, so later there was a famous saying about Xiao He and Han Xin: "Success is Xiao He, failure is Xiao He."

Hearing that Xiao He had helped his wife get rid of Han Xin, Liu Bang immediately appointed Xiao He as the prime minister, built 5,000 food cities, and set aside 500 people as Xiao He's personal guards. At this time, Xiao He was a minister, so all his colleagues came to congratulate him and flatter him. Only one person named Zhao Ping came to offer condolences to Xiao He. Zhaoping is the former Duke of Dongling, Qin Dynasty who planted a famous melon "Dongling Melon". He said to Xiao He, "Your disaster is coming. Boss is fighting outside, you guard Guanzhong. You have nothing to risk, but I gave you a guard. Judging from Han Xin's recent rebellion, the boss is suspicious of you. Giving you a guard is definitely not a sign of trusting you. If you refuse to accept it, take out your own money to work for the army, and the boss will be happy. " Xiao He immediately adopted Zhao Ping's method, and Liu Bang was really happy.

After more than a year, King Jiujiang rebelled, and Liu Bang personally went out and sent people to ask Xiao He what he was doing in the army. Xiao He's practice is the same as that of Chen Yi's rebellion. He tried his best to appease the people and rewarded the army with his own money. Then someone said to Xiao He, "You are not far from genocide. You are the prime minister and make the greatest contribution. How can I repay you? You have run the boss's lair under the stage for more than ten years and won the hearts of the people. The people only know that there is a prime minister, not an emperor. The boss came to you many times because he was afraid that you would shake his foundation. Why not buy more land cheaply now and damage your reputation? So the boss is relieved. " Xiao He immediately adopted, forcing people to buy land and houses, and Liu Bang was overjoyed.

Xiao He is good at flattery. He presided over the construction of Weiyang Palace, making the palace that Liu Bang wanted to live magnificent. Later, Liu Bang saw it and there was a warning from Epang Palace in the Qin Dynasty. Liu bang immediately became furious and said that the world had just decided. Why spend so much money to build this thing? Xiao He plausibly said: The world has just been decided, and palaces can be built, and the son of heaven makes the four seas his home. If the palace is not magnificent, how can it show the majesty of the emperor? Hearing this, Liu Bang was "happy" at that time.

But even so cautious, Xiao He is bound to go to jail. Xiao He once asked to develop a vacant lot near Chang 'an, but Liu thought he had accepted a bribe from a businessman, so he put Xiao He in prison for interrogation. When he was in crisis, Wang Weiwei helped him to speak: "The prime minister's duty is to put forward a plan that is beneficial to the people. Boss, how can you think Xiao He took bribes? And the boss played Xiang Yu, followed by Chen Yi and Ying Bu. At that time, as long as Xiao He made a slight movement in Guanzhong, Kansai was not owned by the boss. Xiao He doesn't take this as a profit, but today it is a businessman who pays bribes. Is this possible? " Liu Bang was very unhappy after hearing this, but he released Xiao He a few days later. It can be seen that even a cow with the quality of being an official like Xiao He will inevitably make mistakes, so an official must have some "iron" friends who can talk. This is the so-called "network" Once something happens to you, someone will go all out to help you. This is the fundamental reason why Han Xin, Ying Bu, Peng Yue, Chen Yi and other heroes died one after another, but Xiao He was able to die a fair death.

Xiao He and Cao Can have been at odds because they have been fighting for the first place in the weapons spectrum. However, before his death, Xiao He was recommended as the successor of Han at that time. At that time, the situation was like this: Xiao He was ill, and Emperor Hui of Han went to visit him and asked, "Who can take your place in a hundred years?" Xiao He replied: "Knowing a minister is like a gentleman." -This kind of flattery that "only the boss knows my heart" is obviously bullshit, which shows that Xiao He had to act before he died. Han Hui Di said, "What about Cao Can?" Xiao He nodded: "You chose the right person, and I have no regrets when I die!"

In the second year of Emperor Hui of Han Dynasty, Xiao He died and named him Wen Duanhou.

Xiao He, who was cautious all his life, was only a small official in the Qin Dynasty (but I think Xiao He would climb this quality at any time), but he made a wonderful performance on the historical stage of troubled China at the turn of the Qin and Han Dynasties, which was not inferior to the military genius of his time. After all, he has his own uniqueness. Xiao He is a deep official, and he is very accurate in judging people. He stays behind the scenes everywhere, so naturally he can make ends meet. With such a high position, he still gets along well with people like Liu Bang. Xiao He was the only one in the early Han Dynasty.
