To say that the tombs unearthed in the Han Dynasty, one more than one let archaeologists expect, Han Gao Emperor Liu Bang and Lü Hou Changling, Han Hui Emperor Liu Ying'an Mausoleum, and the Baling unearthed some time ago, although the Baling Tombs are on the hot search, but there are not many things buried inside.
However, this tomb is different, with a total of more than 10 tons of copper coins, about 2 million pieces, 160 pounds of gold, as well as jade and bronze ware from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, as well as various Analects related to the sage Confucius.
The bumpy life of Liu He
In 88 BC, Liu Ji, the former King of Changyi, died. In 86 BC, Liu He became the second king of Changyi in the Western Han Dynasty at the age of fifteen.
In 74 BC, Emperor Zhao of Han died, and because he was childless, Liu He was conscripted into the dynasty and made crown prince. In June, Huo Guang embraced Liu He's ascension to the throne.
Due to Liu He's absurdity and insecurity during his reign, he was demoted to a commoner by the empress dowager, reigning for only 27 days, and was known as the deposed emperor of Han.
In 63 BC, Emperor Xuan of Han made Liu He the Marquis of Haixia in present-day Nanchang, Jiangxi.
Emperor Xuan of Han had just become emperor and was more jealous of the power of the Huo family, and he was also worried about Liu He, worried that Liu He would make a comeback.
So he sent Zhang Chang as the Taishou of Shanyang to secretly monitor Liu He's every move.
After Huo Guang's death, Zhang Chang wanted to return to the emperor's side, so he gave the emperor a song and told liu He's every move when he came to Hai xiahou.
The content is probably:
1. Liu He did not have any Korean and Chinese forces.
When Liu He had just moved to the Haixia Palace, Zhang Chang paid homage to Liu He. Liu He called out his 16 wives and concubines and 22 children to meet him. One by one, when one of the daughters was introduced, Liu He said that the child's grandfather was Yan Yannian. The rest had nothing to do with the imperial court.
2, Liu He's health is not good
Zhang Changgang saw Liu He, observed his appearance and speech and demeanor, and found that Liu He was young but not old, and he could not walk steadily, and his face was quite haggard.
3, Liu He's brain is not good
Zhang Chang deliberately mentioned that there are many owls in Haixia County, that is, owls, owls mean death, want to imply Zhang Chang, Zhang Chang did not understand, just said, yes, I have never seen a owl before.
4, Liu He's character is not good
After Liu He's father died, his wives and concubines and maids should have been sent away, but Liu He wouldn't let them, let them fight for their own lives, and didn't care if they were sick.
In summary, Liu He was no longer a major problem for Emperor Xuan of Han.
Later, someone sent a message to the emperor, saying that one of the officials had gotten too close to Liu He, and between the words he was still regretting that he had been deposed by Huo Guang's conspiracy at that time, and that the emperor's side just wanted to punish Liu He, but at this time Liu He was killed.
When Liu He was alive, he wanted to pass on the Marquis of Haixia to his eldest son, who died earlier than him, and he wanted to inherit it to the second son, but the second son also died.
After Liu He's death, the emperor did not know how to handle Liu He's funeral, so he arranged for Taishou to watch and do it himself, and it was estimated that Taishou wanted to keep so much money, which was really a big trouble, and it was better to accompany all the funerals.
