The world says that the emperor is the most ruthless, but all the emperor's love is not only for the husband as the father, but also for the king's need to care for the people of the world, after all, the king's words and deeds are involved in the lives of countless people, today we will talk about, the history of the Han Jing Emperor, who ruled the country with culture, why he was called a ruthless title by the world because of his insistence on abolishing the prince.
First, the aftermath left by Han Gaozu
At the beginning of the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang temporarily managed the country with a centralized system and a sub-feudal system, and although Liu Bang implemented the sub-feudal system, he was still jealous of the power of these clan kings, although in the later period, Liu Bang constantly designed to kill the princes of the opposite sex for his own rights, but also resealed Liu's sons to continue to sit in the position of king of the clan.
Although the Han Dynasty continued the centralized power system, the sub-feudal system, and the county system of the Qin Dynasty, the various powers of the Han Dynasty were still in the hands of the majority of the people, and there was not much power left in the hands of the emperor.
2. Li Ji, Liu Rong's mother
1. The relationship between Li Ji and The Han Jing Emperor
As for why the Han Jing Emperor deposed the prince, there are rumors that the prince was deposed, and his mother has a huge relationship, the mother of the prince Liu Rong, Li Ji, the Li Miaoren in the film and television drama "Beauty and The Heart", Li Ji's birth history books do not have too much records, only know that she is a Qi person.
When Emperor Jingdi of Han was still the crown prince, he met with the people, and was later brought into the palace by Emperor Jingdi of Han and was highly pampered. How favored this Li Miao was, according to Wild Records, because Liu Qi had no emotional basis for his crown princess Bo, and because Bo was an official match, he had no feelings to speak of.
On the wedding night, Liu Qi let the righteous crown princess stay alone in the empty room and run to Li Miaoren to sleep. After Liu Qi ascended the throne as Emperor Jing of Han, and after many years of conjugal with the empress, he was still childless, so he made Liu Rong, the son of Li Miaoren, the crown prince, and Although Li Ji was favored, she was the mother of the crown prince.
However, he also resented his husband, according to Sima Qian's detailed record in the "History of the Foreign Relatives of the Nineteenth Family", Li Ji's resentment towards Emperor Jingdi of Han basically stemmed from Liu Yan, the princess of Guantao, the sister of Emperor Jingdi of Han.
2. The enmity between Kurihime and Princess Katoro
Although Princess Guantao was a princess, she was still obsessed with power, and in order to curry favor with her younger brother and consolidate her position, after the emperor ascended the throne, she constantly searched around for beauties and offered them to the emperor, and the new people laughed at the old people and cried, how could Li Ji have a good face for Princess Guantao.
Seeing that Liu Rong was made crown prince, in order to protect the power of himself and his daughter, he privately discussed marriage with Li Ji, so that after Liu Rong ascended the throne, his daughter naturally became an empress, and the princess's wishful thinking played quickly.
Who knows that this Li Ji has long held a grudge against Liu Qi, although she has been pampered for more than ten years, she still resents Liu Yan for constantly offering no one to Liu Qijin, and Liu Qi has never refused, constantly spoiling new beauties.
The marriage did not go as planned, and Princess Guantao also completely hated the mother of the prince, and in order to retaliate against her, she often made unclear gossip in front of her brother Emperor Jingdi, and the language was used as an invisible blade to kill people, and naturally did not show mercy to this Li Ji's men.
The emperor was influenced by Princess Guantao, and gradually became more and more dissatisfied with this pampered Li Ji, who was also increasingly discouraged by this weak and widowed husband, and the Han Dynasty man Ban Gu wrote a book called "The Story of Han Wu", which detailed the phenomenon of breaking mouths and scolding between Emperor Jingdi of Han and Li Ji.
Second, Liu Rong may also be a chess piece
According to historical records, this Han Jing Emperor also had high talent and practical learning, and during his 16-year reign, he resisted great pressure to implement the elimination system, quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and ruled the country diligently throughout his life, which played a role in the stable development of the Western Han Dynasty.
1. Clarify the storage position, and create people in current affairs
Liu Rong's position as crown prince can also be said to be a man of current affairs, and the reason why Emperor Jing of Han is highly talented and practical is because through the political turmoil that occurred when Emperor Wen of Han ascended the throne through the matter of Lü Hou and the political turmoil that occurred when Emperor Wen of Han ascended the throne, he clearly realized that the influence of the king of the clan on the power of the imperial throne was also a person of the Liu clan, and he was looking at the throne with a tiger's eye, so he vigorously defied the public opinion and resolutely carried out the elimination system.
2. The influence of the throne of the crown prince on the court
As a candidate for the next generation of kings, the throne of the crown prince can shake the court, and in order not to let the throne be occupied, the establishment of the crown prince has become an urgent matter. Liu Rong, although not born to the empress, but also the eldest son of Gui, the ancestral etiquette is demanding, standing on the concubine, Liu Rong's identity is very good to block the mouth of Youyou.
Second, Emperor Jing of Han at that time could be said to be an enemy on his back, before there was the king of the clan who looked at the throne, and then there was Empress Dou who looked at the throne, the power of this thing really harmed people, Empress Dou was to protect the prosperity of the family, and Empress Dou repeatedly hinted that the Han Jing Emperor established Liang Wu as the crown prince.
Emperor Jingdi of Han knew that Empress Dowager Dou preferred her younger son, but coveted the power behind the woman who was still able to stand alone and control the government of the three dynasties. In the end, only "brother and brother" and promoted Dou Baby suppressed Empress Dou's thoughts of interfering with Li Chu.
Third, why was Liu Rong, as the son of heavenly choice, finally deposed
1. The forces behind Liu Rong are too strong
As a king, who could tolerate that his throne was already threatened, and although Emperor Jingdi of Han felt the powerful force behind Liu Rong, he did not consider the matter of abolishing the reserves, and initially only tested the ministers.
Who knew that in one blow, the representative of zhou Yafu, the representative of the meritorious heroes of the suppression of the chaos, Dou Bao, the leader of Empress Dou's forces, and other collectives opposed the opinions of Emperor Jingdi of Han, which also seriously damaged the majesty of Emperor Jingdi of Hanjing as emperor, coupled with the fact that Empress Dowager Dou had been controlling the government for many years, she had been psychologically obstructed, and Liu Rong's deposing just confirmed his rights.
The mother of the crown prince, although favored, was brazen and jealous, and did not know the duty of being a concubine of the king, which also affected the fact that Liu Rong was deposed to a certain extent, followed by being born as the son of the emperor, but in the emperor's prime, he was high-profile and threatened the throne. Therefore, it is still necessary to keep a low profile as a person, after all, throughout history, the prince's excessive power has affected his father, and the consequences are very tragic.
