The man surnamed Xiang claims to be a descendant of Xiang Yu, and he swindles everywhere. Why do scholars call him a fool?

Because if he is really a descendant of Xiang Yu, he should not be surnamed Xiang, but Liu. But his surname is Xiang, so it is fake at first glance. Therefore, scholars who know a little about history will laugh at this man surnamed Xiang who claims to be a descendant of Xiang Yu for being stupid.

First, after Xiang Yu lost to Liu Bang and committed suicide in Wujiang, Liu Bang pardoned the Xiang family and gave it the surname Liu

According to relevant historical documents, the descendants of Xiang Yu did not keep their original surnames. This is because when Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were fighting between Chu and Han, Xiang Yu failed to commit suicide in Wujiang River. At that time, after Liu Bang gained the world, he made an amazing decision to pardon the Xiang family and give it the surname Liu.

In this battle to dominate the world, it is obvious that there are too many able ministers and scholars who support Liu Bang. Liu Bang has Han Xin, Xiao He, Zhang Liang and Xiang Bo. Yes, this Xiang Bo played a key role in the contest between Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. This Xiang Bo has a good relationship with Zhang Liang, and Zhang Liang has a close relationship with Liu Bang, so Zhang Liang introduced Liu Bang to Xiang Bo. I didn't expect Xiang Bo to enjoy Liu Bang and maintain him everywhere.

Second, Liu Bang pardoned the Xiang clan or it was related to Xiang Bo

We all know an allusion, that is, Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was intended to be a tribute to the public. What I'm talking about here is what happened at the Hongmen Banquet. At that time, Liu Bang didn't have the strength to compete with Xiang Yu at all. At this time, Xiang Yu put on the Hongmen Banquet to get rid of him, and he had to go.

At the banquet, Xiang Zhuang's sword tried to assassinate Liu Bang, but at this critical moment, Xiang Bo stepped forward to stop it. Xiang Zhuang's sword wanted to kill Liu Bang, not Xiang Bo, because Xiang Bo's horizontal thrust led to the failure of the Hongmen banquet.

It was precisely because of the failure of the Hongmen Banquet that Liu Bang had a breathing space, so that he could have the strength to compete with Xiang Yu in the future. Xiang Bo played an irreplaceable role in these things.

Therefore, after Xiang Yu committed suicide in Wujiang River, Liu Bang felt grateful for Xiang Bo's kindness, and may also make a decision to pardon the Xiang clan. At the same time, pardoning the Xiang clan can also make the people return to their homes, which is beneficial and harmless.
