During his term of office, Emperor Liu Zhao, he completely destroyed the Northern Xiongnu, a century-old strong enemy, re-established the Western Regions Capital Protectorate, and defeated the Western Qiang (although it was very difficult to win, but still won) - has it been found that so far, the martial arts of the Eastern Han Dynasty have reached their peak state in the hands of this person!
Not only that, during this period, the Eastern Han Dynasty was also remarkable in terms of civil rule.
Papermaking, for example, was improved during this period (the greatest contributor was, of course, the famous eunuch Cai Lun).
The Book of Han was also completed during this period.
Then the most important point is that the people continue to continue the calm of his father Zhang Emperor Liu Ju's period, and there is no change at all!
Here he seems to be no different from his father in the governance of the country, but the problem is that from the time he took the throne with the emperor, the heavens began to be uneasy.
Almost every year there are widespread natural disasters.
Either earthquakes, floods, droughts...
Or simply go together.
Under the premise that god does not give face, the emperor can still maintain a good situation of stability and unity, and the economy and people's livelihood have even risen a lot, which shows the level, right?
In fact, at that time, some people put forward the concept of "Yongyuan Zhilong", believing that the Hedi period was no less prosperous than the Western Han Dynasty's "rule of Wenjing"!
It is worthy of being only fourteen years old and reading a few pages of reference materials to destroy the cattle people of the powerful minister's family!
However, Yongyuan Zhilong's fame in later generations, not to mention the rule of Wenjing, even the "Mingzhang Rule" created by his grandfather and father, which also had no sense of existence, was greater than his fame.
Ming Ming and Emperor are so cattle, but why do they have no sense of existence in history?
Let's talk about the result here first - the Long of Yongyuan is the peak of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
At the same time, it was also the last prosperous era of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
At this time, there are still nearly a hundred years away from the familiar "Yellow Sky Dangli".
Of course, Emperor He himself did not have the same tiger tail as Tang Xuanzong, and in the late period of his reign, he pulled his crotch because of fainting.
His biggest problem, like his dad——
Died too soon!
This requires first talking about the situation of foreign relations at this time. First of all, the Dou family must have been destroyed by him, leaving only Empress Dou standing on the side. Empress Dowager Dou was obviously very depressed, so in the autumn leap of the ninth year of Yongyuan, Xin Mi fell ill and died, probably not yet forty years old--but this should not be a cattiness with the emperor, because at this point in time, the emperor still thought that Empress Dou was his own mother. It wasn't until Empress Dowager Dou died that someone in the Liang family dared to say the fact that Xiao Liang Gui was the birth mother of the emperor. Later, many people also speculated on the intention, proposing that Empress Dou's honorific title should be degraded (that is, her husband's "chapter" should not be used in the title), and not buried with Emperor Zhang; but he said to the emperor that Empress Dou had raised me for ten years no matter what she said, and this matter should not be discussed again!
To some extent, this also means that the pursuit of the Dou family ends here, as long as they clip their tails and behave as people from now on, there will be nothing to do.
Of course, the Dou family fell, and the Liang family, the emperor's true maternal relative, naturally rose again, "The Liang family has flourished ever since."
However, his family had been messed up by the Dou family before, and they had to recover first, and their family's highlight moment had to wait for another few decades.
Then there was the emperor's empress, a foreign relative. Originally, in the spring and February of the eighth year of Yongyuan, Yin Guiren was made empress- it can also be seen from this surname that the old foreigner was a foreigner.
However, the Yin Empress soon encountered problems - she was not very receptive to the existence of a large number of concubines from her husband, so she was gradually snubbed by her husband. Therefore, the depressed Empress Yin played the traditional art of the Han Dynasty -- engaging in witchcraft. As a result, in the summer of the fourteenth year of Yongyuan, the Empress Yin witchcraft incident occurred, and in June Xin Di was deposed, and on the same day she "died of sorrow".
Then in the winter of That Year, in October of that year, the nobleman Deng Sui was made empress.
What is the origin of this Deng Guiren and Empress Deng?
In fact, in a way, this is also an old acquaintance. Remember deng yu, the head of the Twenty-Eight Generals of Yuntai and the Marquis of Gaomi? He once said, "I will kill a million people, and I will not kill a single person, and there will be those who will prosper in the future." And his son, who also appeared many times in front of him--it was the former Qiang Colonel Deng Xun!
And Deng Sui was Deng Xun's daughter.
It is said that when Deng Sui was not out of the cabinet, according to records, he was a filial and friendly person, and he was keen to read, so much so that his family jokingly called him "All Lives". After Deng Sui was later elected as a nobleman, he was even more "respectful and careful, and had the law of movement", "although the palace people were subordinate to the army, they were all borrowed by Jia En", and soon received the appreciation of The Emperor. In particular, she had special respect for Empress Yin, and whenever there was a banquet, as long as she found that she was colliding with Empress Yin, she would immediately change her clothes; and before the Emperor asked questions, Empress Yin would never talk back before Empress Yin; Empress Yin's actions were more disrespectful, and others secretly laughed at her, so Deng Sui would cover up for Empress Yin.
But the Yin Empress did not accept this. Didn't the Yin Empress fall out of favor later? At this time, Emperor He had an acute illness, and once he was critically ill, Empress Yin "secretly said": "I am proud, do not let the Tang clan have a legacy!" As a result, this "secret word" was heard by Deng Sui, and she was very aggrieved, so she wanted to take the medicine and kill herself, and then Zhao Yu, a palace man, snatched the poison down and coaxed her to say, "It's all right, the emperor's illness is already cured!" "The next day, he and the emperor were really good."
In the eyes of Emperor He, Empress Yin's score naturally became lower and lower, and Deng Sui's score became higher and higher; later, Empress Yin engaged in witchcraft, and 80% of it was not aimed at her husband, but at Deng Sui. However, when Empress Yin was deposed, Deng Sui interceded for her many times; after unsuccessfully, when he learned that he had been elected as the new empress, he still resigned many times, and finally "had no choice" to take the throne. After taking the throne, he also demanded that the local tribute to the empress every year be stopped, and only some ink and ink be entered; and the emperor wanted to promote the Yue family according to the custom, but she also refused.
Then, just three years later, in the winter of the first year of Yuan Xing, Xin Wei, and the emperor died!
Eighteen years on the throne doesn't seem to be short.
But he ascended the throne at the age of nine, at the age of twenty-seven!
Younger than his dad!
Therefore, he has no sense of existence in history, if he can work for another ten or twenty years, with the level of his previous performance, it is difficult to catch up with the Qin Emperor Han Wu. What a pity!
In other words, it took Emperor He five years to overturn the situation of the empress dowager's curtain listening to the government in one fell swoop, and as a result, after thirteen years, he became the empress dowager again!
Moreover, the emperor who ascended to the throne at this time was definitely younger than he was then, and even if he had the ability of that year, if he wanted to copy his means in the future, he would have to face the empress dowager who had listened to the government for a longer time than the previous Empress Dou and thus mastered the government more skillfully!
Moreover, from the previous deeds, you should also see that Deng Sui, who has been familiar with reading the history of the scriptures since childhood, is far from being comparable to Empress Dou, who can only play palace fighting. Before Empress Dowager Dou was already an empress, she had to use intrigue and trickery to get rid of the two nobles, and left the hidden danger of Liu Qing, the king of Qinghe (think about who brought the coup reference book to Emperor He!). And Deng Sui was not an empress, compared with Empress Dou, it was completely the opposite, the result? Who is the empress or empress dowager who has no trouble?
From Deng Sui's choice of heir to the throne, we can see her city government. It is said that the son who was raised in the palace before the emperor raised one to die, and there were more than a dozen deaths before and after; and the emperor could not figure out whether the feng shui in the palace was not good, or whether there was a cat in the palace, and the son was regenerated, so he secretly raised it in the folk, and he only told the empress about the specific situation.
So at this time, Deng Sui announced this matter in the court, and said that there were only two living princes at present--one Liu Sheng, although he was older, was "chronically ill" and inappropriate; the other Liu Long, who was still in good health, was him!
Therefore, on the day of Emperor He's death, Liu Long was made crown prince, and he ascended the throne that night, as emperor xiaoxiao of Han.
In other words, Emperor Yan is indeed in good health at present.
However, he was only born a hundred days ago!
The so-called "physical health" of a baby, and it was in the era of two thousand years ago, how can this be done accurately! Maybe he'll die the next day...
In that case, Deng Suike would have taken another step forward and become the empress dowager!
Therefore, we still have to read more books!
