劉崇，太原人，漢高祖之從弟也。 Liu Chong was from Taiyuan, a younger cousin of the Han founder.

漢祖鎮並、汾，奏為河東步軍都指揮使。 When the Han founder held Bing and Fen he had Chong appointed overall commander of Hedong infantry.

漢祖起義於河東，以崇為特進、檢校太尉、行太原尹。 When the Han founder rose in Hedong, Chong was made Special Grand Master, acting Grand Guardian, and acting Prefect of Taiyuan.

是歲五月，漢祖南行，以崇為北京留守，尋加同平章事。 That fifth month, when the Han founder marched south, Chong was left regent of the northern capital and soon made Grand Councilor.
