From the time Liu Bang won the victory in the Chu-Han War and the establishment of the Han Dynasty to Wang Mang's usurpation of power, there were several periods of political prominence, namely the reign of Wenjing, the flourishing of Han Wu, and the rise of Zhaoxuan Zhongxing. The so-called Wenjing Zhizhi said that Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han made contributions to the history of the Western Han Dynasty, Han WuShengshi said that Emperor Wu of Han contributed to the history of the Western Han Dynasty, and later Zhaoxuan Zhongxing said that Emperor Zhaozhao and Emperor Xuan of Han made contributions to the history of the Western Han Dynasty.
The Han Xuan Emperor Liu Yi was already the new emperor of the Western Han Dynasty who was supported by Huo Guang after the death of the Han Zhao Emperor Liu Fuling, and it is usually overlooked that there is another emperor between the Han Zhao Emperor and the Han Xuan Emperor, that is, the Han Emperor. Before Liu Yi had been made emperor, in fact, Huo Guang's first choice of new emperor was Liu He, the nephew of Emperor Zhao of Han and the Prince of Changyi.
In the summer of 74 BC, the young Emperor Han Zhao died in Weiyang Palace without leaving any heirs, and Huo Guang, a major minister in the court, looked for a suitable heir among Liu Hanzong's relatives, and he finally surrendered his sights to Liu He, the king of Changyi, who was really not a good prince when he was a prince, and he had many discords with etiquette in office, but it was precisely in this way that Huo Guang thought that Liu He would be well controlled after becoming emperor.
So Huo Guang sent emissaries to Changyi to meet Liu He. After receiving the seal book, Liu He packed his bags almost without any consideration and rushed to Chang'an with his attendants. If Liu He's great-grandfather Liu Heng were still alive, he would definitely persuade Liu He to think twice. When lü died, the Lü family was killed in the Rebellion of Zhu lü, and Zhou Bo and Chen Ping sent emissaries to the Daiguo to welcome Liu Heng to Chang'an to take the throne.
Liu Heng did not respond at the first time, in fact, he immediately held an emergency meeting, held a discussion with his staff on this matter, and divination asked Ji Ji, he first let his uncle Bo Zhao first enter Beijing to inquire about the situation, and after Bo Zhao returned to explain everything in Chang'an, Liu Heng was leading people into Beijing.
However, he stopped fifty miles away from Beijing, and then sent Song Chang into Beijing to explore the truth, and when Zhou Bo and other courtiers met Liu Heng at Weiqiao, Liu Heng was still cautious and took the initiative, and eventually became emperor in Jinjing, and quickly controlled the situation in Weiyang Palace, and did not become a puppet emperor of the Western Han Dynasty.
Compared with the caution and shrewdness of Emperor Wen of Han, Liu He was simply not enough to see, after he got Huo Guang to let him enter Beijing to preside over Liu Fuling's funeral, he almost knew that he was Liu Fuling's heir, but he only saw this huge surprise, but he did not think that the pie would not fall from the sky, even if he dropped the pie, it was mostly a poisonous pie, and if he was not careful, he would lose his life, so he needed to be cautious.
Liu He was ambitious, but it was obvious that his ability was not good, and he did not pay much attention to etiquette. He and his attendants rushed to Chang'an, eager to see Weiyang Palace in an hour, but when he arrived at the capital, he not only did not be careful, but instead began to be a demon himself, and even let the slaves below use a vehicle loaded with clothes to load the stolen women, such an act was afraid that only someone like Liu He could do.
Moreover, according to the Han system, Ben Fu would start crying when he saw the capital, but Liu He found various excuses not to cry under the condition of Lang Zhongling's reminder, and when he was about to reach the east gate of Weiyang Palace, Liu He got out of the car and pretended to cry. When the funeral was finally completed, Liu He got the emperor's seal and ribbon, which was considered to be officially becoming the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but he did not meet the Gaozu Temple, or he was deposed before he had time to meet the Gaozu Temple.
In fact, from the time Liu He received the seal and was deposed, it was only 27 days in between, and the Book of Han recorded: "Twenty-seven days after receiving the seal, the messengers were next to noon, and the official offices of the edicts were requisitioned, and all one thousand one hundred and twenty-seven things were done. ”
It is hard to imagine that a person has the energy to do 1127 absurd things that violate the etiquette system in 27 days, if we refine this data, that is to do about 42 bad things a day, although it can not be so rigid refinement, but there is a question worth noting, that is, what kind of intensive operation can be done in less than a month to do so many things? Even if you don't eat, drink or sleep, and think about what to do all the time, you won't be able to do so many things, whether this data is exaggerated or true, we don't know.
According to historical records, Liu He did do a lot of things, and it seems that he did all the things that he could think of, such as bringing some people from Changyi Kingdom into the palace to play games, such as recruiting musicians from Changyi Kingdom into Weiyang Palace to beat drums and sing, play musical instruments, play dramas, etc., and then drive to the North Palace and other places to chase wild boars, fight tigers, and disrespect the concubines of Emperor Han Zhao. Liu He even sent emissaries to various official offices to requisition items, and so on.
When Liu He was doing these things, he couldn't listen to any persuasion, and just followed his feelings. Of course, this kind of behavior of his soon aroused the public indignation of the courtiers, and everyone always believed that Liu He was "absurd and confused, lost the courtesy of the emperor, and chaotic Han system." "Not enough to be an emperor, so Liu He, the emperor, was quickly deposed."
Of course, the reason for Liu He's dethronement has a lot to do with his failure to follow the etiquette of the Han Dynasty and various rules and regulations, but it has to be said that the reason why Liu He was deposed by Huo Guang was more because Liu He was disobedient, and he did not put anyone in his eyes after he lived in Weiyang Palace, but also tried to quickly control the situation, arranging people in Changyi State into Weiyang Palace and arranging them into the imperial court.
Everything he did was telling Huo Guang that this was an out-of-control man, and if he was allowed to continue, he did not know what he could do, and such an uncontrolled and unsupported emperor had only one outcome, and that was to be deposed.
After Liu He was deposed, he was sent back to the state of Changyi, but the state of Changyi was abolished and became Shanyang County. Returning to Changyi from the original King of Changyi to the Deposed Emperor of the Han Dynasty and then returning to the Changyi Kingdom is not as simple as returning to the original point, in fact, since Liu He left the Changyi Kingdom in response to Huo Guang's conscription, it is impossible to return to the past.
He returned to the country of Changyi again, no, it was already Shanyang County, although there were still two thousand households in Tangmuyi, but he himself was under house arrest, and Shanyang Taishou was responsible for monitoring Liu He's every move, after all, he was the emperor, it was impossible to depose him and then ignore it, what if he did something again?
Therefore, Liu He's life in Shanyang County was not free to speak of, including what he had done, who he had met, and what he had said, and the owner of Weiyang Palace would know.
After Liu He was deposed, Huo Guang also established Liu Yi in the court as the new emperor, that is, Emperor Xuan of Han. Emperor Xuan of Han learned the lessons of Liu He, silently accumulated strength in the early days of his reign, never confronted Huo Guang except for the matter of lihou, and after Huo Guang's death, he thought of destroying the Huo family and becoming a generation of Ming jun. And Liu He was very concerned about Liu He when he was already in power.
He learned through Shanyang Taishou that Liu He was very decadent after he was deposed, and he was plagued by illness at a young age, shrinking into his own acre and three points of land day by day like a walking dead, and by 63 BC, Liu He had discovered that Liu He had made no threat to him, so he showed his benevolent side, and named Liu He the Marquis of Haixiao, and Tang Muyi became four thousand households.
However, the surveillance and house arrest of him were not lifted, and it was precisely because he had been monitoring him that it was discovered that there was something inappropriate in his conversation with Sun Wanshi, and then Tang Muyi directly cut down three thousand households. This made Liu He even more depressed, and by 59 BC, Liu He had died, not yet 35 years old.
Liu He, the Marquis of Haixia, should be regarded as the most special royal family in history, he became emperor from prince, reigned for only 27 days, but did 1127 absurd things, after being deposed, he was not killed, but was put under house arrest, and later became a marquis again, became the Marquis of Haixia, but since the day he was deposed, there was no longer any freedom, although he was not killed, but he has been under house arrest, under surveillance, and therefore, less than thirty-five years old, he was depressed.
