Emperor Wu of Han's grandson was not only Liu He, so why did he choose Liu He?
Huo Guang said that if he could do it, he would do it, and if he didn't, he would have to do it. Huo Guang was a famous courtier in the Western Han Dynasty, and he had been in power since Emperor Wu of Han was on his deathbed, and this person's ability to manage the government was indeed extraordinary. In the history of the Western Han Dynasty, during the period of Emperor Zhao and Emperor Xuan, the country was relatively prosperous, and Huo Guang was indispensable. However, if the power is too concentrated, the less likely it is to be restrained, and the affairs of the imperial court are basically decided by Huo Guang.

Liu He was 19 years old at the time and had just come of age.
Don't look at his age, in the position of the king of Changyi, but he has been doing it for 14 years, no way, when he was five years old, his father died. He was the only son, and the throne was naturally inherited by him. It is said that the king of Changyi, who has been the king of Changyi for 14 years, should have a better understanding of the system and etiquette of the imperial court, including some people's feelings. Usually, how to be a king and how to manage the government are all taught by someone, but this Liu He is born to be a strange king. Historical records say that when he heard that he could become an emperor, he smiled on the spot and closed his mouth, you see this person, there is no city government at all. Happy, he immediately ordered his subordinates, hurry up, I want to be the emperor, we will leave immediately.
Knowing that his emperor's uncle had just died, he was happy to be like this.
Even if you don't have any feelings with your uncle, it's the emperor, whether as a nephew or as a courtier, you should be sad, or at least you should show sadness. Liu He received the will of the imperial court late the night the first day, and set off at noon the next day, it was estimated that he was excited not to sleep last night, so he got up late in the morning, from noon to three o'clock in the afternoon, he actually ran from Changyi to Dingtao, but in just three hours, one and a half hours, that is, Heze, now Shandong, ran 130 miles.
Now it is normal for high-speed rail to be more than 300 kilometers an hour.
You know, more than 2,000 years ago, they took a horse-drawn carriage for three hours to run 130 miles, that is, the high-speed train 2,000 years ago, so how did they run at this speed? A set of carriage parts excavated from the tomb of Hai Di Hou, these parts, interlocking, extremely exquisite workmanship, extremely high technical content, the speed of the horse will not fall apart no matter how fast the car. However, the sad thing is that the car is not scattered, and the horse pulling the cart is unlucky.
Liu He rushed from Changyi to Chang'an, and countless horses fell out of business.
How anxious Liu He was at that time, he was eager to insert his wings and fly to Chang'an. However, these things happened before entering Beijing, and no matter how strange they were, they should not have much impact on him as emperor. Friends who have watched the TV series Dafeng Song know that the princes entered the unification, Liu He is not the first, as early as 100 years ago, Liu He's grandfather's grandfather, The Han Wen Emperor Liu Heng has already walked such a road, and it is quite successful, so if Liu He behaves better after entering Beijing, or a little more normal, this dragon chair can still sit steadily, but it is strange that he was only the emperor for 27 days.
What exactly did Liu He do that led him to turn this counterattack road into a 27-day tourist road.
I didn't cry because of a sore throat. The Biography of the Book of Han and the Biography of Huo Guangjin Ribao records that "the hefu cut off the sad heart of death, abolished the etiquette and did not live on the road, so that the women from the officials took the clothes cart and passed on the house inside." This passage means that Liu He was not sad at all on the way to beijing to mourn, and along the way, beautiful women accompanied him, and he was very happy, so that his ministers could not look at it. When you are almost at Chang'an City, remind Liu He to follow the etiquette, and when you arrive in Chang'an, you should cry bitterly, so as to express your mourning for the former emperor. Liu He said: No, no, no, I have a sore throat and can't cry.
At the door of Weiyang Palace, this Liu He was strange again.
The Book of Han says that he "cried like a yi", and at this moment, Liu He suddenly fell on the ground and cried loudly. Liu He's acting skills are still in place, acting school. But what Liu He didn't know was that these performances before and after he entered the city had already been secretly reported to Huo Guang, and Huo Guang's mood was of course unhappy. At the beginning, I tried to exclude the public opinion and not choose Liu Xu, who was justified, and chose you Liu He to be the emperor, liu He was so ignorant that he punched me in the face.
The reason why Liu He was chosen by Huo Guang to be emperor was because of his grandmother, Lady Li, a concubine of Emperor Wu of Han.
Many people may have heard a poem: There are beautiful people in the north, unique and independent, one looking at the city of the people, and then looking at the country of the people. This poem was written by Li Yannian, a famous scholar during the Han Wudi period, and the beauty in the poem is Li Yannian's sister, that is, how beautiful his sister looks, and how independent he is. At that time, Li Yannian sang this poem in front of Emperor Wudi of Han every day, and Emperor Wudi of Han was really interested. When Li Li Xiaomei, who was beautiful and could sing and dance, came to Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, who was 52 years old at the time, completely fell.
This collection is called the Dragon Phoenix-shaped Pendant, which was discovered by archaeologists in 2015 in the tomb of The Marquis of Haixia.
This jade pendant is exquisitely shaped, also called the Chicken Heart Pendant, which was very popular during the Qin and Han Dynasties. It is said that in order to marry Yu Ji as a wife, Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, specially customized this jade pendant as a souvenir of love, and then people used this jade pendant to represent loyal and unswerving love. Did Emperor Wu of Han ever send this kind of jade pendant to Li Xiaomei that year? There is no explicit statement in the historical data, but some people believe that the discovery of this jade pendant in Liu He's tomb indicates that there is such a possibility, which should be the heirloom of Lady Li's side.
I have to love from a humble place with the good looks of the good, and the husband and wife of Israel are fading and love to relax, and love to be relaxed is to be gracious.
This is the original text in the "Hanshu Xiaowu Lady Li Biography", Emperor Wu of Han loved Lady Li very much, but since the ancient red face was so thin, Lady Li soon fell ill after giving birth to Liu He and his father, Emperor Wu of Han, because he loved him, often went to see her, but later when Emperor Wu of Han went again, Lady Li avoided seeing her. Because she knew very well that Emperor Wudi of Han liked her because she was beautiful, but there were also many beautiful women around Emperor Wudi of Han.
Chen Ajiao of the Green Plum Bamboo Horse, the beautiful and lovely Wei Zifu, none of them can escape the same fate.
That is, the color decays and loves to relax, and the love is relaxed. The most tragic should be Wei Zifu, because of the so-called witchcraft case, not only was his son forced to die, but he also fell into a suicide end, which is "grace and abstinence". So when she was no longer beautiful during her illness, she no longer saw Emperor Wu of Han. In this way, in the mind of Emperor Wu of Han, she was forever left with the most perfect image.
The autumn wind rises and the white clouds fly, and the grass and trees fall yellow and the geese return to the south. Lan Youxiu Has a Chrysanthemum, and Huai Jia Ren Xi cannot forget.
This famous autumn wind poem in hanle mansion is said to have been composed by Emperor Wu of Han in memory of Lady Li. After Lady Li's death, Emperor Wu of Han not only buried him with the etiquette of Empress Wang, but in 87 BC, Emperor Wu of Han died, and the general Huo Guang also honored Lady Li in the Temple of Emperor Wu of Han in accordance with the will of Emperor Wu of Han, and added the honorific title of Empress Xiaowu. Lady Li thus became the first empress dowager in Chinese history to be posthumously crowned Empress Wu of Han.
When Lady Li was seriously ill, Emperor Wu of Han had promised him that he would treat his descendants kindly.
When Emperor Wu of Han died, he also gave this promise to Huo Guang, which was another special reason why Huo Guang chose Liu He as the new emperor after the death of Emperor Han Zhao. Even if the young Liu He controlled, he could understand the promise he had promised the former emperor, but he never thought that this Liu He was really too absurd, and finally had to throw him off the dragon chair. The Hanshu Huo Guang biography records that Liu He did 1127 bad things in 27 days. As a thing in itself this is impossible. This was just a means used by Huo Guang to find a suitable reason to abolish Liu He.
So after being deposed, what was Liu He's fate?
According to the 63rd volume of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Chang wrote in his report to Emperor Xuan of Han that in the twenty-sixth seventh year of the late king, he was blue and black, small-eyed, with a nose that was not sharp and humble, with few eyebrows, a growing body, and an inconvenient walking habit, so he died. Reading this report, we can see two meanings, one is the later successor to the throne of Emperor Xuan of Han, really a man with a scheming heart, because he is not at ease with the deposed emperor Liu He, and has been sending people to monitor Liu He. The second layer is about the situation after Liu He was deposed, talking upside down, often with a brush inserted in his bun, disheveled clothes, indecent, but also sick, walking is very difficult, it is almost a madman.
How did Liu He later become the Marquis of Haixia?
In March of the third year of Yuan Kang, Emperor Xuan of Han issued an edict: Zeng Wen heard that Shun's brother xiang was guilty, Shun was made empress, and he was enfeoffed in the country with a nose, and the relatives of flesh and bones were endless, and now Liu He, the king of Changyi, was now the Marquis of Haixia, with 4,000 households. This is the reason why Liu He came to Jiangxi to become the Marquis of Haidi, and Emperor Xuan of Han, in order to show his generosity, gave him the opportunity to enjoy life again.
Is Liu He really the strange and absurd emperor written in the history books who can only enjoy pleasure and is absurd?
The screen excavated from the tomb of the Marquis of Customs is a portrait of Confucius, and at the same time a large number of bamboo books have been unearthed, the most valuable of which has even found the lost Chapter of the Analects. From this point, it can be seen that Liu He greatly admired Confucius during his lifetime and read a large number of Confucian classics. In addition, a large number of ritual music, carriages, horses, and wine vessels have also been unearthed from the tomb of the Marquis of Haixia, which are all things used by Liu He before his death according to the custom of the Western Han royal family. Judging from the quality of these things, Liu He should be a person with a high aesthetic pursuit.
Conclusion: Therefore, many people think that Liu He is not simply the absurd and unscrupulous person mentioned in the history books, and there are thousands of sins about him in the history books, but it is huo Guang's means to smear Liu He in order to achieve a new emperor.
