Idioms and allusions

When Liu banggang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, founded the Han Dynasty, there were many princes with different surnames. Once, Liu Bang led his troops to Daidi to suppress Chen Xi's rebellion. When he passed by the state of Zhao, Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, was afraid that Liu Bang would blame him. So he ordered many delicious dishes to be prepared and gave them to Liu Bang. Unexpectedly, Liu Bang deliberately flaunted the emperor's prestige and sat with his legs apart. Not only did he not return the gift, but he also scolded Zhang Ao for his poor hospitality. Zhao Wu, the Prime Minister of the state of Zhao, was very angry when he saw that Liu Bang was so provocative and humiliated the king of Zhao. After returning to the palace, they tried their best to persuade the king of Zhao to rebel against Liu Bang. The king of Zhao insisted on not allowing it, and bit his finger to bleed blood, asking the ministers not to mention it again. When the ministers saw that the king of Zhao refused, they decided to assassinate Liu Bang without telling him. However, Liu Bang was so angry that he ordered the arrest of King Zhao and his close ministers. Zhao Wu and others committed suicide. Only the king of Zhao and his minister Guan Gao were arrested, and they were escorted to the capital Chang'an. Many old ministers loyal to the king of Zhao wanted to escort him to Chang'an. When Liu Bang knew it, he immediately ordered that if anyone dared to follow him, he would destroy the three clans. Uncle Tian, Meng Shu and a dozen other ministers shaved their hair, dressed in red, tied their heads and necks with iron hoops, disguised as slaves of the king of Zhao, and went to Chang'an together. When he arrived in Chang'an, Liu Bang personally interrogated Guan Gao and asked him to tell the story of Wang Zhao's rebellion. Guan Gao explained in detail how King Zhao refused to revolt and how he prevented his ministers from revolting. Liu Bang believed that the king of Zhao did not rebel, but he still used the excuse to say that the king of Zhao did not educate his ministers well and demoted him to the rank of Yiping marquis. The king of Zhao thanked Liu Bang for his kindness and asked Liu Bang to forgive his accompanying ministers, such as Tian Shu and Meng Shu. As soon as Liu Bang heard of such loyal ministers, he summoned them. Through the conversation, Liu Bang had a real understanding of their talent, resourcefulness, loyalty, and high moral character. He said with emotion: "Shao: now no Minister of the Han Dynasty can surpass them." happy in heart, I intend to reuse them. So some of them became prefects, some became prime ministers of princes, and uncle Tian was entrusted with the important task of guarding Hanzhong.
