In ancient China, there were many emperors, some of whom were wise monarchs who contributed to the country all their lives; some of them did nothing and lived their lives peacefully; some of them fainted and incompetent, causing the people of the country to fall into crisis, and finally being scolded. Among them, the most resentful is the Emperor Of Qi, and the most famous emperors in ancient China are: King You of Zhou, Emperor Of Han, Emperor Yuan of Han, Emperor Of Sui, Emperor Of Qin II, Emperor Hou of Northern Qi, Emperor Huizong of Song, Emperor Gaozong of Song, Emperor Suzong of Tang, and Emperor Sizong of Ming. These are very faint monarchs in history.
However, the real second-ranked Emperor in history is the Han Emperor, who is rumored to have reigned for only 27 days, but did thousands of bad things, and was finally deposed. However, according to the consideration, this rumor has low credibility, and it is very likely that someone else framed it.
The throne of the Western Han Dynasty fell into the hands of Liu He
During the reign of Emperor Wu of han, there were no small breakthroughs in the economic and cultural aspects of the Han Dynasty. It not only unified the governance policy of the whole country, but also determined the main ideas at that time, so that the people of the whole country attached importance to Confucianism. In terms of diplomacy, Zhang Qian was even allowed to go to the Western Regions, successfully opening up the connection between the Han Dynasty and the countries in the Western Regions, and then forming a very complete Silk Road.
Because emperor Wudi of Han was decisive in his later years, his son and himself were not the same heart, so they turned against each other. Since the suicide of his son Liu Zhao, Emperor Wu of Han had been heartbroken and depressed in his later years. In 88 BC, Emperor Wu of Han thought that his time was running out, so he painted a painting in which the then general and Grand Sima Huoguang would assist his young son Liu Fuling well, and then he died the following year.
After the death of Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Zhao of Han ascended the throne, but because he was only eight years old at the time, everything was represented by Huo Guang, so Huo Guang's status in the Han Dynasty was getting higher and higher. Emperor Zhao of Han died after 13 years on the throne. Because Emperor Han Zhao died at a young age and had no children and no daughters under his knees, Liu He was recalled from a distant fief to the palace and inherited the throne.
Absurd and unscrupulous Liu He
Liu He was the grandson of Emperor Wu of Han. Because Liu He's father was made the King of Changyi during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, after his father's death, his own Liu He would naturally inherit the title. Because Liu He's father died when he was five years old, after his father's death, Liu He became the respected King of Changyi overnight, which made Liu He squander his family property from an early age, did not learn any techniques, and knew all day that he went out to eat, drink and gamble with some subordinate slaves, and so on for another 13 years.
When Liu He was 18 years old, he ushered in a major change in his life. After the death of Emperor Han Zhao, no one inherited the throne, so Sima Huoguang summoned all the blood-related descendants of Emperor Wu of Han to enter Beijing to select a prince. After entering the palace, the fortunate Liu He, because of his status as the King of Changyi, was favored by Sima Huoguang and became the next emperor.
After Liu He ascended the throne as emperor, he was even more lawless, and he let some musicians go to the palace every day to compose music. When Emperor Han Zhao was still serving the funeral after his death, he did not understand the rules, ate food that could not be eaten during the mourning period, played games that could not be played during the mourning period, and even invited the ministers in the palace to play together.
These actions caused strong resentment among the ministers, who one after another played Huo Guang and demanded that Huo Guang depose the emperor. Therefore, Huo Guang reported the crime of rebellion to the empress dowager, and after agreeing, he ordered Liu He to be deposed and let him continue to return to the fiefdom to become his king of Changyi.
The credibility of the rumors about Liu He
Liu He was absurd, but not as outrageous as the rumors. Rumors that he had been on the throne for twenty-seven days and had done 1,127 bad things were an exaggeration. According to this algorithm, Liu He has to do at least 41 bad things a day on average. And the amount of a day is impossible to complete in one day, even if Liu He faints, he can't complete these amounts every day, so this statement may be framed by others, and this person is most likely Huo Guang.
Huo Guang's status was very high, and he was also Huo's younger brother, who was originally the red man in front of Emperor Wu of Han, not to mention Huo Guang, who may have more trust in him than his brother. Therefore, it would be entrusted to Huo Guang's hands. During the reign of Emperor Han Zhao, Huo Guang's status was greatly improved, almost in power, and no one could oppose him.
Since the death of Emperor Zhao of Han, Huo Guang still wanted to preside over the imperial government, and he needed to find another incompetent monarch, and Liu He just met this point, not learning no techniques, very good control. But what he did not expect was that Liu He did not do nothing during his reign, and he would also win people over. Moreover, Liu He always caused trouble, resulting in Huo Guang, who chose him, to be very faceless, so after Liu He abdicated, he did not want to let him go so easily, so he spread rumors about Liu He everywhere, making his reputation in history more and more black.
