In fact, this is his intelligence. There is a saying that cunning rabbits are cooked by running dogs. Zhang Liang knows this well. So when he helped Liu Bang achieve great success, he deliberately chose to keep a low profile. Even on the day when Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu and became emperor, Zhang Liang said he was ill and didn't attend. When Liu Bang was awarded a reward, he was even more low-key.
We all know that Liu Bang does not have much ability. The reason why he can become an emperor is that he completely depends on his ministers. In order to express his gratitude to these ministers, he chose to reward them soon after he ascended the throne. At that time, Liu Bang intended to give Zhang Liang a fiefdom of 30000 households, similar to that of a governor.
However, Zhang Liang only wanted 10000 households. Not only that, he chose a small county as his fief. And this small county is the land Liu Bang and he met. On the contrary, Hanxin's rule is a bit excessive, and Hanxin's fiefdom is what he directly asked Liu Bang for. Their performance is enough to show Zhang Liang's intelligence.
Sure enough, soon after, Han Xin came to a tragic end. After Zhang Liang was awarded the reward, he only asked about the affairs of the court. This is also his way of protecting himself. Later, when it came to the selection of the crown prince, Zhang Liang took the initiative to help empress Lu. His team showed his intelligence.
It was because of his choice that the crown prince Liu Ying became emperor, and empress Lu was also grateful to Zhang Liang. It was because of this kindness that some of the founders of the country came to a tragic end, only Zhang Liang was able to be safe all the time. It's true to say that you are like a tiger.
Since ancient times, it has been thought that many of the founding ministers have returned to their hometown in order to protect their lives. In fact, this is also a helpless move. It's true that emperors are merciless. When he needs you, he takes you as a good brother. Once you have no effect on him, he just looks at you and you are finished. Again, the cunning rabbit is a running dog. And Zhang Liang understood this truth, and finally came to a good end.
