In the seventh year of Han Dynasty (200 BC), Huns came to Mayi to attack Xin the King of Han, who then conspired with Huns to rebel in Taiyuan. Manqiu Chen and Wang Huang of Baitu established the former Zhao general Zhao Li as their king and rebelled, and Emperor Gaozu went to fight the rebels in person. It was cold, and two to three out of ten soldiers had their fingers frozen off. They finally arrived in Pingcheng. The Huns besieged Han army in Pingcheng and withdrew after seven days. Emperor Gaozu ordered Fan Kuai to stay to pacify Daidi, and appointed his brother Liu Zhong as the King of Dai.
In February, Emperor Gaozu arrived in Chang'an from Pingcheng via Zhao and Luoyang. Changle Palace was built, and officials below the prime minister moved to Chang'an to work.
In the eighth year (199 BC), Emperor Gaozu marched eastward to Dongyuan to attack the remaining rebels of Xin the King of Hán.
Prime Minister Xiao built the Weiyang Palaces, including the East Que palace, North Que palace, Front Hall palace, Arsenal storage , and Taicang the food supply storage. When Emperor Gaozu returned, he saw that the palace was very magnificent and was very angry. He said to Xiao He: "The world is in turmoil, people have been troubled by war for many years, and the success or failure of the cause is still unclear. How could the palace be built so luxuriously?" Xiao He said: "The world is not stable yet, so you can take the opportunity to build a palace. Moreover, the emperor regards the four seas as his home. If the palace is not magnificent, it will not be able to show his dignity and majesty, and it can also prevent future generations from expanding it." Only then did Emperor Gaozu feel happy.
Emperor Gaozu went to Dongyuan and passed by Bairen. Guan Gao, the prime minister of Zhao, and others wanted to murder Emperor Gaozu, Emperor Gaozu had a hunch and did not stay in Bairen. Liu Zhong, King of Dai, abandoned his fiefdom and fled, returned to Luoyang privately, and was demoted to Marquis of Heyang.
In the ninth year (198 BC), the conspiracy of Guan Gao and others was discovered and their three clans were exterminated. Emperor Gaozu demoted Zhang Ao the King of Zhao to Marquis Xuanping. In this year, Zhao, Qu, Jing, and Huai, the nobles of Chu, and Tian, the nobles of Qi, were forced to move to Guanzhong.
Weiyang Palace was built. Gaozu solemnly met with the princes and ministers, and set up a banquet in the front hall of Weiyang Palace. Gaozu held the jade cup, stood up and wished the superior emperor a long life, saying: "At first, my father always thought that I was useless and could not manage the business, and was not as hardworking as my brother. Now, who made more achievements, my brother or me?" The ministers in the hall shouted long live the emperor and laughed for fun.
七年，匈奴攻韩王信马邑，信因与谋反太原。白土曼丘臣、王黄立故赵将赵利为王以反，高祖自往击之。会天寒，士卒堕指者什二三，遂至平城。匈奴围我平城，七日而后罢去。令樊哙止定代地。立兄刘仲为代王。
二月，高祖自平城过赵、雒阳，至长安。长乐宫成，丞相已下徙治长安。
八年，高祖东击韩王信余反寇于东垣。
萧丞相营作未央宫，立东阙、北阙、前殿、武库、太仓。高祖还，见宫阙壮甚，怒，谓萧何曰：“天下匈匈苦战数岁，成败未可知，是何治宫室过度也？”萧何曰：“天下方未定，故可因遂就宫室。且夫天子四海为家，非壮丽无以重威，且无令后世有以加也。”高祖乃说。
高祖之东垣，过柏人，赵相贯高等谋弑高祖，高祖心动，因不留。代王刘仲弃国亡，自归雒阳，废以为合阳侯。
九年，赵相贯高等事发觉，夷三族。废赵王敖为宣平侯。是岁，徙贵族楚昭、屈、景、怀、齐田氏关中。
未央宫成。高祖大朝诸侯群臣，置酒未央前殿。高祖奉玉卮，起为太上皇寿，曰：“始大人常以臣无赖，不能治产业，不如仲力。今某之业所就孰与仲多？”殿上群臣皆呼万岁，大笑为乐。
