Speaking of the life of Liu Xie, the Emperor of Han Xian, we will sympathize with him, he is not like most ancient emperors, he was able to exert his grand ambitions on his own rivers and mountains, as a puppet emperor, Liu Xie, for most of his reign, was controlled by Cao Cao and Cao Pi. After pursuing his relationship, we can be very surprised to find that Emperor Xian of Han was actually Cao Cao's son-in-law, why did Cao Cao marry all 7 of his daughters to Liu Xie, the Emperor of Han Xian? In fact, there is a big conspiracy behind it, and today we will explore the hidden thoughts in detail.
The famous events in history about Emperor Xian of Han should have belonged to tianzi to order the princes to complete the relocation of the capital under Cao Cao's control. In fact, Emperor Xian of Han was not willing to always act as a puppet, and there was a tentative resistance, secretly contacting Dong Guiren's father, hoping that he could kill Cao Cao at the right time, but he did not expect that the plan was revealed.
In the nineteenth year of Jian'an, Emperor Xiandi of Han's then Empress Fu wanted to share the burden for her husband, and privately contacted her father to secretly murder Cao Cao, but she did not expect to be searched by Cao Cao halfway to contact the outside world. Under cao Cao's threat, Emperor Xian of Han abolished Empress Fu, and Liu Xie gave his own answer to Empress Fu who requested pardon, saying that he did not dare to guarantee when his life would suddenly end, and the current situation was beyond his control.
After the empress dowager was deposed, Cao Cao successively gave his 7 daughters to Emperor Xian of Han to enrich the harem, and supported one of his daughters to ascend to the empress throne, and by this time the control of Liu Xie had risen to a strict point. Not limited to the politics of the imperial court, even the control of life gradually penetrated, at that time, the life of Emperor Xian of Han basically had no privacy to speak of, and every word and deed was under Cao Cao's eyes.
The ruling power of the state was also not in the hands of Emperor Xian of Han, and Cao Cao left Liu Xie's life, nothing more than to provide some so-called convenience for himself to exercise power and eliminate some voices of doubt. With the help of the legitimacy of the Han Xiandi Emperor's execution of power, he excused his various actions. Later, after Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi began to take over his father's great cause, and he was not as willing as Cao Cao to only be the king of Wei, nor would he always have the moral burden of usurpation.
Under a series of actions by Cao Pi, he successfully forced Emperor Xian of Han to abdicate and ceded the throne to Cao Pi, and Liu Xie also died of illness at the age of 54. Looking back on his life, he was really crushed to death by Cao Cao, Cao Cao is worthy of being a brilliant hero, and his meticulous thinking makes us ashamed of ourselves, ostensibly marrying his daughters to Liu Xie, but in fact hiding a bigger conspiracy.
What is even more lamentable is that Liu Xie even fell in love with these daughters of Cao Cao, and it turns out that when people have real feelings, they begin to be in a relatively weak position. Liu Xie took care of his empress and concubines, so he did not dare to rebel against his old father-in-law, and it seems that after many fruitless rebellions, he also accepted the fact of being dominated, and until his death, he remained humble.
