Now it seems that the novel "White Deer Plain" is really not a nonsense, White Deer Plain, this is really a treasure trove of feng shui, you think about it, Emperor Wen of Han is buried here, who is behind Emperor Wen of Han? Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the First Emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty, for the first time completely defeated the Xiongnu in the north, established the various institutional foundations of the ancient Chinese feudal dynasty, and this is the descendants of Ze Yu. This shows that the tomb of Emperor Wendi of Han is really a treasure of feng shui.

Well, let's go back to Emperor Wen of Han, what kind of emperor is he?

In fact, in Chinese history, Emperor Wendi of Han did not have much sense of existence, especially compared with his good grandson Emperor Wendi of Han.

What kind of emperor was Emperor Wen of Han? His story of his ascension to the throne is actually quite legendary

You may have heard of "The Rule of Wenjing", which is basically the biggest impression of most history lovers on Emperor Wen of Han.

This is because Emperor Wen of Han has been emperor for more than 20 years, he has followed the policy of "resting with the people" formulated by The Early Han Dynasty, quiet and inactive, a word called no tossing, and compared with the emperor who has been tossed for half a century by Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Wen of Han naturally has no story.

However, the process of Emperor Wen of Han's ascension to the throne is very legendary. Liu Heng is the fourth son of Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty - there are several famous fourth sons of the emperor in history, Liu Heng is the first, the second generation of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Di is also the fourth son of the emperor, Yongzheng is also the fourth master, coincidentally, the story of the ascension of the fourth son of the emperor is very legendary.

Emperor Wen of Han was the first case in history in which a king of the clan successfully entered the capital.

Liu Heng was made the Acting King when he was 8 years old, and went to Taiyuan early to become his vassal king, and the position of emperor had nothing to do with him. But by chance, pie fell from the sky, and the throne actually hit him on the head.

After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang actually did not do a few days to stabilize the Heavenly Son, and has been busy running east and west to destroy the king with a different surname. Then he sealed his own son everywhere and arched the center.

After Liu Bang's death, it was ostensibly Lü Hou's son Liu Ying who succeeded him, in fact, Lü Hou was in power, the Lü clan chicken dog ascended to heaven, and when Lü Hou died, there was a rebellion in Zhu Lü, and the military merit group headed by Zhou Bo and Chen Ping pacified Zhu Lü, at this time Liu Ying's family was involved too much with the Lü Hou clan, and the military merit group could not accept it, and finally chose Liu Heng, the acting king of the border area, mainly out of the psychology that the military merit group felt good control, so this pie hit Liu Heng.

But when this edict came down, Liu Heng initially refused.

He said that I was not modest, how did I, a king of the clan on behalf of the land, suddenly be chosen to be the emperor?

If you are Liu Heng, in the face of this big pie, you are also afraid. Is it easy to deal with the big guys in the DPRK? They are all great generals of Liu Bangshi, beaten out of the pile of dead people, old and calculating, all of them are human spirits, and now they have just destroyed ZhuLu, blood stained the capital, at this time let you become the emperor, who knows what conspiracy there is?

Only his confidant Song Chang said that there was no problem, he said that the world returned to the heart, no matter how powerful the big guys in the DPRK were, everyone decided that only Liu Heng could be the emperor, and now only Liu Heng was the most suitable descendant of Gao Zu, and the great righteousness and legal system were all in our place, don't worry.

Despite this, Liu Heng still observed repeatedly, took one step to see three steps, and carefully went to Chang'an.

Moreover, after Liu Heng took the throne, on the one hand, he tried his best to appease the gang of big men of the Military Merit Group, and on the other hand, he carefully cultivated his own forces, and finally survived the gang of big men and sat firmly on the throne.

Liu Heng set a precedent for the king of the clan to enter the capital and take the throne, and he did it very successfully.

But different people in later generations have different stories about this pie.

In the Western Han Dynasty, in addition to Liu Heng, there are two similar examples. It was Huo Guang who welcomed the King of Changyi and the Emperor Xuan of Han respectively.

After the king of Changyi was hit by this pie, he was oblivious and deposed after 27 days, and finally ended up with the fate of a sea dusk; Emperor Xuan of Han honestly waited for Huo Guang and killed this big man.

Of course, history has similarities, but it will never be simply repeated. Later, when the king of the clan entered the capital, he interpreted a different story.

When Liu Yu, the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, died, the crown prince Liu Yifu was also young, and he entrusted him to 3 ministers.

As a result, in less than a year, 3 powerful ministers killed Liu Yifu and confronted Liu Yilong, who was sitting in Jingzhou at that time.

This is another story similar to Liu Heng's entry into Beijing, Liu Yilong was hesitant at first, and his confidant Wang Hua also urged it to be feasible. Liu Yilong said, "Qingfu wants to be evil for Song Chang", you want to be Song Chang of Emperor Wen of Han.

This shows that Liu Yilong is at least familiar with the history books, and this is a smart person.

But the situation is different, and Liu Yilong's path is also different from Liu Heng's. At that time, Liu Heng only brought a few close associates into Beijing, but Liu Yilong brought the entire Jingzhou team to Nanjing. In the end, he killed the powerful minister and sat firmly in the second generation of Liu Song.

Therefore, history will never be simply repeated, but similar scenes have different situations, and when the same big position is vacant, is this powerful minister Huo Guang?

Then there was the Jiajing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who was also the king of the clan who entered the capital, but this time Jiajing was extremely strong, and he also made a "great ceremony" incident to fight for the unification, but the powerful ministers could not do anything with Jiajing.

Of course, during the Ming Dynasty, the imperial power was more powerful than more than a thousand years ago, and Huo Guangna would also have a phase power that could balance the imperial power to some extent, and the power of the emperor in the Ming and Qing dynasties was really too terrifying.

Well, a few examples similar to Emperor Wen of Han's ascension to the throne. Limited to space, I will not expand too much.

All in all, Emperor Wen of Han, as the first successful example of the king of the clan entering the capital, gave many references to later generations, but the same script deduced a different story.

So again, history will not be simply repeated, but history does have a reference significance, through the comparison of the story of the reign of Emperor Wen of Han and similar stories in later generations, perhaps you can understand the value of learning history.

If we are familiar with history, will we be able to handle it better because of our historical experience after encountering similar things?

Not necessarily.

Time is changing easily, the situation is different, the environment is different, and the experience of the ancients must not be copied.

But it's better than you're completely black-eyed.
