Han Gaozu or Han Taizu
Liu Bang was both Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizu of the Han Dynasty. Liu Bang's temple name was Taizu, and his posthumous title was Emperor Gao. In the Han Dynasty, the previous emperors were addressed by posthumous titles, so Liu Bang was called Emperor Gao. Sima Qian called Liu Bang Gaozu in the Records of the Historian, and later generations used it and evolved it into Han Gaozu. The Han Dynasty emphasized the rule of filial piety, so the posthumous titles of the succeeding emperors all had the word "filial piety". The temple name was the name of the emperor after his death. Generally, the founding emperor would use the temple name of "Taizu". Although Liu Bang's temple name was Taizu, Sima Qian had always called Liu Bang Gaozu in the Records of the Historian, so he was now used to calling him Han Gaozu. Therefore, Liu Bang was both Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizu of the Han Dynasty.
Han Gaozu and Cao
The relationship between Liu Bang and Cao Shi could be concluded as follows: Cao Shi was a woman whom Liu Bang met during the uprising, and the two fell in love at first sight. However, their love did not last long, because Liu Bang soon left Cao Village and went to other places to continue his revolutionary cause. Even so, Liu Bang's feelings for the Cao family had never disappeared. It was said that he was once captured after being injured on the battlefield. When the Cao family found out, they took the risk to come and rescue him. Although Liu Bang managed to escape from the captives in the end, this experience made him cherish Cao Shi's love even more. However, there was no clear information about the relationship between Liu Bang and the Cao family. Therefore, I am unable to give a definite answer to this question.

Han Gaozu Liu Ying
Liu Ying was the son of Liu Bang and Empress Lu, the second emperor of the Han Dynasty. He was also known as Emperor Hui of Han. He was made Crown Prince when he was young, but his character was considered weak, unlike his father Liu Bang. After Liu Ying ascended the throne, he implemented a benevolent policy, reduced taxes, and implemented a policy of recuperation, laying the foundation for the development of the Han Dynasty. However, he only reigned for seven years and died at the age of 23. Regarding his evaluation, some people believed that his policies and actions laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, but others believed that his reign was too short to have a greater impact. Generally speaking, Liu Ying was a young and short-lived emperor. Although his rule had some achievements, there were also some disputes.
