Introduction: China's feudal dynasty for thousands of years, under the rule of the feudal dynasty, the inheritance of the throne is hereditary system, since Yao Zen is located in Shun, Shun will be the original "Zen concession system" into "hereditary system." ”
The emergence of this hereditary system has led to the emergence of many faint-hearted emperors in our country, and the emperor we are going to talk about today is one of them, he is Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, that is, the Han Ling Emperor in history.
Emperor HanLing was not qualified to inherit the throne, only because the previous emperor, Emperor Huan of Han, had no heirs, and after the emperor's funeral, Empress Dou at that time wanted to find a puppet to be the heir to the throne in order to consolidate her position in the dynasty, so that she could rule the world behind the scenes.
In order to facilitate the manipulation of the emperor, the emperor could not find an adult person to inherit, so he found Emperor Huan's nephew, Liu Hong, who was only ten years old, to succeed him as emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Hong said that he was the emperor, but in fact, he was empress Dou's puppet, empress Dou Miao came to the court to ask the government, and her father Dou Wu became a great general of the Han Dynasty.
Originally, Liu Hong could only be a puppet emperor without real power, but Dou Miao and his father Dou Wu wanted to unite with Chen Fan to eliminate the eunuch forces in the court.
Unexpectedly, this matter was leaked, but it was counterattacked by the eunuch forces, and in the end, Empress Dou lost power, and Emperor Hanling's birth mother Dong Shi was put on the throne.
Liu Hong became an emperor with real power, but the Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong was born to only have fun and did not care about political affairs, and after the fall of the Dou clan, Liu Hong and his mother Dong Shi began a life of indulgence.
Because there was no silver in the national treasury, in order to accumulate wealth, the Han Ling Emperor began to sell officials and sell knights, collected huge amounts of money, overhauled civil engineering in the palace, and built many palaces and buildings.
As Emperor Han Ling grew older, he was particularly obsessed with women, and many historical records recorded that his harem concubines were countless, and he also especially liked to be with the palace women, so he was arranged with countless beautiful palace women around him.
It was rumored that as long as it was a woman whom the Han Ling Emperor had a crush on, none of them could escape, even if it was a married woman, as long as he looked up to her, he would snatch her up. Because the private life of the Han Ling Emperor was too chaotic, he also ordered that the palace ladies should not be allowed to wear complete pants.
Not only that, the Han Ling Emperor did not regard the palace women as people at all, and used various tricks to abuse them, which made many palace women unbearable, and many palace women committed suicide in the palace.
In the face of emperor Hanling's various absurd behaviors, some ministers and eunuchs in the dprk did not dissuade him, but instead used Emperor Hanling's hobbies to do his favor, and constantly sent beautiful women into the palace in the folk to please Emperor Hanling.
Emperor Han Ling only cared about pleasure every day and paid no attention to the affairs of the government, but he still had superiority in the means of manipulating power.
Although the Han Ling Emperor entrusted the government to the eunuchs for pleasure, the power of the eunuchs was still in the hands of the Han Ling Emperor.
These eunuchs were just pawns in the hands of the Han Ling Emperor, a means to suppress the family, but this meager merit was not worth mentioning at all compared to his faults.
Because of the actions of the Han Ling Emperor, the people were miserable, and the places were even more starving, during which Zhang Jiao, the founder of the Taiping Taoist Sect, took the opportunity to launch the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the eight states of the world rose up, and chaos was born.
Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quickly put down, after this, the Han Ling Emperor had laid the foundation for the chaotic world and could be regarded as the founder of the history of the Three Kingdoms.
It is no wonder that Liu Bei would often confide in Zhuge Liang about the unforgettable past events of Emperor Ling after he became his great cause, which was mentioned in detail in Zhuge Liang's master's list: "When the former emperor was there, whenever he discussed this matter with his subjects, he did not hesitate to sigh and hate Huan and Lingye! ”
Conclusion: Because the Han Ling Emperor only cared about pleasure, his body and bones were getting worse and worse every day, and finally he only lived to the age of 33, and the eunuchs lost the Han Ling Emperor, which was equivalent to losing real power, and He Jin led Dong Zhuo into Beijing after he took power, wanting to kill the Ten Constant Attendants, but he was killed by the Ten Constant Attendants, and finally Dong Zhuo took advantage of the void, and the Han Dynasty existed in name only.
