In June of the leap year of 146, emperor Wu of Han, who was only 9 years old (8 years old), was poisoned by his powerful minister Liang Ji. The early death of the young emperor, known for his intelligence, marked that the Eastern Han Dynasty had no hope of ZTE.
The emperor who succeeded the Han Emperor was the famous Han Huan Emperor, the Han Ling Emperor, and the Han Xian Emperor, which can really be described as a generation worse than a generation.
Let's walk into the life of the Han Emperor and take a look at the most intelligent emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty: the Han Emperor
Practice benevolent government
Liang Ji and Empress Dowager Liang's brothers and sisters supported Liu Yi's little friends in order to treat him as a puppet and take power on their own. However, they miscalculated Liu Miao's wisdom, although he was only 7 years old when he succeeded to the throne, he was already able to practice benevolent government and distinguish between loyalty and adultery.
Let's take a look at what good policies that benefit the country and the people have been implemented in the short period of one and a half years of Liu Miao's reign.
On the eleventh day of the first month of 145 AD, after Liu Yi succeeded to the throne, he sacrificed Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao. On the twelfth day of the first month, the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu was sacrificed.
On the second day of the first month of February, Liu Yi issued a decree that the world would be amnesty, and the people would be rewarded with a stone of corn, and officials would be rewarded with a knighthood of the first rank and a horse on silk. The land lost by the princes and princes due to the policy of cutting down the fertility was also returned.
On the first day of May, due to the summer drought, I personally went to the sacrifice to ask for rain. He also decreed pardons for criminals other than death row prisoners. For those soldiers who unfortunately died in the conquest, officials were sent to their families to provide pensions and rewards.
On May 13, the order of sacrifices was determined for the former emperor, Emperor Han. Emperor Han was also a young emperor who died prematurely, and was the younger son of Emperor He of Han. After the death of Emperor Han, the later Emperor An of Han, Emperor Shun of Han, did not sacrifice him, probably because he felt that the little doll was not worth sacrificing. Liu Miao's little pen friend may have felt the same way, so he demanded that the sacrifice of the Han Emperor should be before the Han An Emperor and the Han Shun Emperor. For the ancients, the order of sacrifice represented status. Liu Yi restored the status of Emperor Wu of Han. Perhaps at this time, the clever Liu Miao had already predicted his own ending.
In 146 AD, on the third day of the first lunar month, Liu Miao issued a decree that "Mingde should be punished prudently", asking the investigation department to deal with it as leniently as possible unless it was a capital offense.
On the seventh day of the first month of February, Liu Yi issued a decree that because guangling and Jiujiang counties were often attacked by bandits, officials were arranged to go to disaster relief and pensions.
On the seventh day of the first month of April, Liu Yi ordered the counties to elect students who were proficient in the "Five Classics" to enter the Taixue School and be awarded official positions after graduation. It can be said that it was the prototype of the later imperial examination.
On May 15, a tsunami struck the Bohai Sea, causing serious damage to coastal residents. Liu Miao issued a decree to collect and bury the dead and provide relief to the surviving victims.
On May 25, Qin Tianjian reported that Taibai was confused, indicating that someone was going to kill the king. Liu Miao's little pen friend knew that his life was short.
Therefore, on June 4, the world was once again pardoned, rewarding the people with corn and silk, and rewarding officials with knighthoods.
After everything is done, Liu Xiaopengyou is about to face the most important problem in his life: the dictatorship of the Liang family. It was this problem that finally ended Liu Miao's short life.
