Emperor Wu's dimness
In the later years of Emperor Wudi of Han's life, after decades of recuperation, the Han Empire was on the verge of collapse by Emperor Wudi of Han - in addition to necessary foreign wars, Emperor Wudi of Han also fought many unnecessary wars, in addition, in order to provide for his own enjoyment, Emperor Wudi of Han overhauled the palace, and reused cool officials and encouraged informers.
The cost of these crazy acts of Emperor Wu of Han eventually had to be paid by the people of the Han Dynasty, and in the end, in the later period of Emperor Wu, the civil riots of the Han Dynasty rose and fell, just like the scene of Chen Wu's uprising at the end of qin.
Fortunately, Emperor Wudi of Han realized the terrible nature of the problem, reached a peace agreement with the Xiongnu in time, and rested with the people, which pulled the Han Dynasty back from the road of collapse, but even so, Emperor Wudi of Han still made a decision that caused the situation in the Later Han Dynasty to be unstable: that is, to force the death of the crown prince Liu Zhao, to establish his younger son Liu Fuling as the crown prince, and to retain an auxiliary chancellor. Then he passed away, and finally left the Political Circle of the Western Han Dynasty with a bloody storm.
About three hundred years later, an emperor named Sun Quan also repeated what Emperor Wu of Han did on the issue of succession, which eventually led to the state of Wu falling into a state of turmoil.
Liu's illness has been encountered
Crown Prince Liu Was falsely accused of dying instead. Implicated by the crown prince Liu Zhao, Liu Zhao's wife and children were also killed by Zhu Lian after Liu Zhao's death, but Liu Yi had escaped the disaster because he was still a baby, but was taken into prison. Before emperor Wu of Han died, he remembered that he still had a great-grandson in prison, so he announced that he would pardon Liu Yiji—and the prisoners who had been detained with Liu Yi would also be pardoned.
Although Liu Yi had been freed, the livelihood problem had not yet been settled--after all, although the Han Dynasty had a lot of wealth, there was no specific government decree or edict mentioning how to arrange Liu Yi's life, but fortunately, Liu Yi had been helped by Ting Wei Jian Bingji and others to avoid hunger.
After the death of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Fuling ascended the throne as emperor, which was Emperor Zhao of Han. Emperor Zhao of Han was young, and Emperor Wu of Han left huo Guang, Shangguan Jie and other auxiliary ministers for him. Eventually, as the auxiliary ministers fought each other, eventually, the power of the Han Dynasty was concentrated in the hands of Huo Guang.
Emperor Han Zhao died within a few years of his reign, and at first Huo Guangzhi made Liu He the Prince of Changyi emperor. Although many netizens at present think that Liu He is a wise man, he personally feels that he can be deposed by Huo Guang in less than a month in his reign, and from this point of view, it can be seen that Liu He is not a suitable person to be an emperor, at least not good at forbearance.
After Liu He was deposed, at the suggestion of some ministers, Huo Guang chose to proclaim Liu Yi as emperor—this was Liu Qing, the Emperor Xuan of Han.
Liu Que is no longer Liu Yi
When Liu Yi had become Liu Qing, the Emperor Xuan of Han, he was no longer the Liu Yi he had been before– not only in terms of status, but also in ethics.
Although Liu Fuling was not the concubine of Emperor Wu of Han, in the case that liu Zhao, the eldest son of Emperor Wu, was forced to die, Emperor Wu of Han could choose to change any of his sons as heirs, so Liu Fuling's throne was not disputed.
Liu Fuling had no descendants, but as a successor, under the influence of the patriarchal system, he needed to pass himself on to the deceased emperor in order to inherit the throne. Therefore, when Liu Yi ascended the throne, he passed himself on to Emperor Han Zhao as a son.
From a biological point of view, Liu Fuling was Liu Yi's uncle, but ethically, Liu Yi was already the stepson of Emperor Han Zhao, the nephew of Liu Zhao, and his biological father, who was of the same generation.
From the fact that Liu Yi already needed to inherit the throne by passing himself out, it can be seen that in the Han Dynasty society, the scholar had certain restrictions on the imperial power, and in the later Ming Dynasty, the Jiajing Emperor could insist on forcibly obtaining the throne without succeeding himself, and the shi dafu clique was unable to restrain this point of view, which showed the strength of the imperial power of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
