Are Liu Xiu and Liu Bang related by blood?

Liu Xiu and Liu Bang are related by blood. Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu is the ninth grandson of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty.

According to historical records, when Liu Qi asked Cheng Fei to sleep, Cheng Fei refused to go on the grounds of physical discomfort and sent a maid-in-waiting to serve the emperor for her. Who knows it happened that the emperor was drunk and delirious, so he fell in love with the ladies-in-waiting, so there was Liu Fa and Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu's ancestors were originally named princes, and gradually degraded from kings to princes. Slowly, his father's generation has become a small county magistrate. After his father died, the whole family became common people. It is said that when Liu Xiu was born, the room was full of red light. That year, the banker's harvest was exceptionally good, and one stalk of rice could grow nine ears of wheat, hence Liu Xiu's name.

Liu Xiu's Early Experience:

Liu Xiu, the ninth grandson of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, is a direct descendant of Emperor Liu Fa of Hanzhao. Liu Xiu's predecessor was handed down by princes because of the principle of "pushing human feelings". To his father Liu Qin's generation, he was only a small official like Jiyang County Magistrate. In the first year of Jianping in the Western Han Dynasty (65438+ 13), Liu Xiu was born in Jiyang County, Chenliu County, and his father was Jiyang Mausoleum. When Shi Zai Liu Xiu was born, the red light lit up the whole room. Liu Qin was surprised and immediately invited Shi Chonglan, a Gongcao, and sent him to ask the fortune teller.

Zhuang Lan and the pawn came to the king's residence. After divining divination, Wang said to Su Yonghe and Chonglan, "This is an auspicious thing, needless to say." This year, millet grew in front of Liu Qin's house where Sedum was planted. There are three plants, each with nine ears, which is one or two feet longer than ordinary millet. This is a good millet. His father Liu Qin named him Xiu. As for Liu Xiu's appearance, historical records show that he is seven feet three inches long, with a beautiful beard and a big mouth, which is different from others.
