History is the memory of things that have been said and done. —Carl Baker
A copy of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms allowed Cao Cao to blackmail Tianzi to make the allusions of the princes well-known, and this Tianzi was the last emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, Liu Xie, the Emperor of Han. Liu Xie was able to become emperor in large part because of Dong Zhuo's appreciation and "promotion", on the other hand, it was due to his indisputable brother Liu Wei, the Shao Emperor of Han.
Liu Xie and Liu Xie were the sons of Liu Hong, the Emperor of Hanling, who was 5 years older than Liu Xie, and his mother, Empress He, and the younger sister of the general He Jin. Before Empress He gave birth to Liu Zheng, Liu Hong had several sons, all of whom died prematurely, so he fostered Liu Wei in a Taoist family in the hope of growing up healthy. When Liu Wei was 6 years old, his half-brother Liu Xie was born, and his mother was Liu Hong's favorite concubine Wang Meiren. Poor Wang Meiren was not yet able to marry Her Son, and was poisoned by Empress He for giving birth to a dragon son. After Wang Meiren's death, Liu Xie was raised by Liu Hong's mother, Dong Tai.
Liu Jie and Liu Xie were raised by Daoist priests and empresses respectively, and it is conceivable whether they are superior or inferior when they grow up.
Liu Hong was bent on establishing Liu Xie as the crown prince, but did not dare to break the tradition of the primogeniture system, and hesitated to make a decision, until his death, fang intended to pass on liu xie, but Liu Xie's uncle He Jin held the power of the government, and the throne still fell into the hands of Liu Xie.
Empress He's dream of becoming an empress dowager finally came true, and she herself became the empress dowager as she wished, and she was in charge of the dynasty. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, He Jin died in the rebellion of the Ten Constant Attendants, and Dong Zhuoshan, who entered The Capital on He Jin's "will" to beg for thieves, arrived late, but instead of the He family, he quickly took control of Emperor Shao of Han and the government.
At this point, Empress He's Huang Liang's dream was also over, and Liu Wei did not learn any techniques, and his demeanor was light and picky, and he was soon disliked by Dong Zhuo. Only four and a half months after ascending the throne, he was finally deposed by Dong Zhuo as the King of Hongnong, and Empress He was subsequently poisoned by Dong Zhuo, and the following year king hongnong was also poisoned in the palace.
Liu Wei was only 15 years old at the time of his death, and only Tang Ji was recorded in the history of his harem concubines. On his deathbed, Liu Wei asked Tang Ji to be a princess and swear not to be the wife of an ordinary person ("The concubine of the Qing King is bound to cease to be the wife of an official.") Self-love, never forget it! See Book of the Later Han Dynasty), that is, to ask Tang Ji to keep a widow for herself for a lifetime.
After Liu Jie's death, Tang Ji returned to his hometown of Yingchuan, and his father persuaded him to remarry, but Tang Ji did not comply, and later encountered Li Dai occupying the Kwantung region and wanted to marry Tang Ji as a wife, but was still rejected by Tang Ji. This matter was known to Jia Xu, who went up to Liu Xie, the Heavenly Son. Liu Xie was touched by this, so he ordered Tang Ji to be taken back to the palace and made princess of Hongnong.
Perhaps, the title of Princess Hongnong is the greatest recognition of Tang Ji's life.
