In our impression, poetry is generally at least four sentences. Even in ancient times, the poems at the beginning were at least four sentences, such as "Broken Bamboo, Renewed Bamboo, Flying Earth, Chasing Flesh". Even in Liu Bang's time, a simple poem had at least four sentences. For example, Xiang Yu's "Gaixia Song" is so powerful that it surpasses the world. When times are unfavorable, good things never fade away. What can you do if your talents are not gone? What can you do if you are worried? These are also four sentences.
But Liu Bang's "Song of the Great Wind" only has three sentences, which makes people feel very regretful.
So, why did Liu Bang only write a poem of three sentences? Is there a fourth sentence? If there is a fourth sentence, what is the fourth sentence? Why didn't he write it down?
I think that the song "Great Wind Song" that Liu Bang wanted to write must have a fourth sentence. Indeed, there are unspeakable reasons why he did not write it out completely in the end. So, what is this unspeakable reason?
Let's first analyze these three sentences of "The Song of the Wind" written by Liu Bang.
The first sentence, "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying", talks about the general trend of the world. That is to say, it was at the end of the Qin Dynasty. Due to the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up. Then the peasant uprising armies from all over the country responded one after another. The descendants of the old princes of the six countries also took the opportunity to recruit armies and wanted to restore the country. As a result, the world was in chaos for a while, and all the heroes were vying for the throne. Liu Bang is talking about a background here. This sentence is equivalent to "rising" in poetry.
The second sentence, "Weijiahaixi returns to his hometown", is about the process of Liu Bang conquering the world. Although Liu Bang was actually very embarrassed in the process of conquering the world, he was exhausted from being beaten by Xiang Yu all day long. But anyway, he won in the end. When you win, you should naturally celebrate. ?Weijiahai?, returned home in fine clothes. In that era, the values ??of ethics and education had not yet been established, and "returning home in fine clothes" was a sign of success. Xiang Yu said, if you don't return to your hometown when you are rich, it will be like "walking at night in brocade clothes". Of course Liu Bang had to come here and go back to his hometown to play. This sentence is equivalent to the inheritance of poetry writing.
The third sentence, "The warriors are here to guard the four directions", is about the fact that although the world has been conquered, it does not mean that it is peaceful. Xiang Yu conquered the country back then, but then everyone rebelled. He Liu Bang has conquered the country now, but to be honest, he Liu Bang is not as good as Xiang Yu back then. Because Liu Bang kept losing battles, it was equivalent to Han Xin, Peng Yue, Ying Bu and others conquering the country. Only when Liu Bang eliminated them would he feel at ease. So he launched a campaign to kill heroes. As a result, all the ministers including Han Xin, Peng Yue and Yingbu were killed.
However, after killing everyone, Liu Bang did not feel at peace. Because in the process of conquering the country, he clearly knew that only people like Han Xin could truly fight well. It is obviously impossible to ask those crazy buddies around us, such as Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, Cao Shen, Guan Ying and others, to protect the country.
Not long ago, Liu Banggang fought a battle with the Huns and was besieged on Baishan Mountain for seven days and nights. This incident fully proves that without Han Xin and others, it would be difficult for him to maintain his country. So, new worries arise.
This sentence, in poetry writing, is equivalent to "turn". After reposting, the poem is actually not finished yet, there is still one sentence left. Moreover, it is obvious that Liu Bang really needs a "hehe".
For Liu Bang, conquering the country was just the first step in a long march of thousands of miles, and then came the issue of protecting the country. Only by preserving the country and continuing it smoothly for one, two, or even eternity can his goal be considered achieved. Only in this way can the combination be considered beautiful.
But in fact, it was very difficult for Liu Bang to achieve this "unity". In addition to the fact that no one can protect the country for him, there is another thing that worries him. It's his prince Liu Ying, can he pass on the legacy?
He has always been dissatisfied with Liu Ying and wants to change a prince and let Liu Ruyi be his successor.
However, letting Liu Ruyi be the successor is actually not a better choice. First of all, Empress Lu was too powerful in the court, and many old officials supported him. Secondly, Liu Ruyi is too young, and Mrs. Qi seems to be incapable of doing anything else except dancing. He has been undecided on whether to choose Liu Ying or Liu Ruyi as his successor. If the successor is not implemented, it will be difficult to ensure that the country can continue.
And this fact made him even more anxious than having no warriors guarding the four sides.
