Liu Fuling ascended the throne at the age of 8, reigned for 13 years, died young at the age of only 21, it is reasonable to say that such an emperor's sense of existence in history should not be high, but about the historical deeds of this young emperor, we can see it everywhere in the historical data, from this point of view, we understand that Liu Fuling is definitely not a simple emperor.
So what kind of person is Liu Fuling in real history, and what kind of legendary deeds does he have? With many questions, we walked into that distant history together, and after reading it, I think this problem will naturally be solved.
Liu Fuling was born special
Liu Fuling is the youngest son of Emperor Wu of Han, and when he was not yet born, he already had many legends, such as the identity of Liu Fuling's mother and his origin, which is the most special of many legends. And listen to me continue to speak.
Liu Fuling's mother, Lady Hook Yi, was not a concubine that Emperor Wu of Han had incorporated through normal procedures, but through a superstitious way, when Emperor Wu of Han was already old, and he was particularly superstitious about the art of the other soldiers, that is, under the recommendation of the alchemist, Emperor Wu of Han knew the magical Lady Hook Yi.
According to historical records, after Hearing of Lady Hook Yi's special ability, Emperor Wudi of Han planned to witness it with his own eyes, so he met Lady Hook Yi under the guidance of the alchemist, when she first saw the Strange Woman, her hands were fists, there was no palm, but after talking with Emperor Wu of Han, the two fists of the Strange Woman gradually stretched out and became hands, Emperor Wu of Han witnessed this miracle with his own eyes, at that time he ordered someone to bring the Strange Woman into the palace to become a concubine, and soon after Emperor Wu of Han was even more eager to spoil this Strange Woman, And with Liu Fuling.
Liu Fuling's mother is already a strange woman, and the result is that Liu Fuling's origin is even more jaw-dropping, because according to the historical records, Liu Fuling was born after being pregnant in 14 months, normal people are pregnant in October, Liu Fuling is four months more than normal people, the key pregnancy 14 months is also the same as the time when Yao's mother conceived and gave birth to Yao in the legend, which adds to the legend of Liu Fuling.
That is to say, because Liu Fuling is full of legends, so after Liu Fuling was born, Emperor Wu of Han personally named the gate of the palace where Lady Hook Yi lived as "YaoMu Gate", which has the meaning of seeing Liu Fuling as the reincarnation of Emperor Yao, and after this move of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Zhao's position as crown prince was gradually shaken.
To some extent, the later scourge of the witchcraft and Liu Fuling's birth more or less have some relationship, if there is no arrival of Liu Fuling, Emperor Wu of Han still attaches enough importance to Liu Zhao, but after Liu Fuling was born, many of the actions of Emperor Wu of Han intentionally or unintentionally revealed a sense of wanting to change the prince, and the ministers could not fail to see the meaning of Emperor Wu of Han.
In the feudal dynasty, there are not many people who speculate on the holy will, and after emperor Wudi of Han wants to change the idea of changing the prince, some people with ulterior motives will naturally create some accidents to assist Emperor Wu of Han, such as the disaster of wu cunning is most likely to occur in such a historical background, otherwise it is difficult for us to explain some of the behaviors of Emperor Wu of Han in the scourge of wu, and it is even more impossible to explain some of the evaluations of Liu Fuling by Emperor Wu of Han after the disaster of Wu, he said that Liu Fuling is most like himself, for the emperor, this is the highest level of evaluation of his sons.
After the scourge of the witches, Emperor Wu of Han had several other sons who could pass on the throne, but Emperor Wu of Han basically did not think too much about them, and directly began to consider Liu Fuling, knowing that Liu Fuling was only 6 years old at that time, much younger than the rest of the princes.
After Emperor Wudi of Han had the idea of making Liu Fuling crown prince, he immediately made a more astonishing move, that is, to kill Liu Fuling's young mother, Lady Hook Yi, which was to ensure that after Liu Fuling ascended the throne in the future, the tragedy of Lü Yan and Liu Ying would not be staged again.
After the death of Lady Hook Yi, Emperor Wu of Han specially trained Huo Guang, a tuoguo chancellor, for Liu Fuling, and after everything was laid out, Emperor Wu of Han was also going to die, in 87 BC, Liu Fuling officially became the crown prince, and soon after Emperor Wu of Han died, Liu Fuling officially ascended the throne as emperor with the assistance of Huo Guang, known as Emperor Zhao of Han.
At the age of 14, he showed a good level of martial arts
Simply by relying on Liu Fuling's origin and some legendary stories that happened to him, Liu Fuling is enough to appear in various historical materials, but if only these legends are recorded in the annals of history, it must still be a little difficult to convince the public, so next we will take a look at the real reasons why Liu Fuling's name has become famous.
Relying on legends and all kinds of anecdotes to enter the annals of history, it is bound to be unable to withstand the scrutiny of future generations, but relying on his true ability and being a person who has entered the annals of history, Presumably no one dares to say anything, Liu Fuling is such a cruel character, talking about his ability and deeds, he does not lose the Han Jing Emperor and the Han Wu Emperor at all.
It is said that he did not lose to Emperor Jing of Han because Liu Fuling's performance in Wentao was really remarkable, and the ability displayed by the young Liu Fuling was something that many emperors did not dare to think. After Liu Fuling ascended the throne, in addition to assisting him with huo Guang, the important minister, there was another very important person, that is, Liu Fuling's sister Princess Eyi.
Princess Eyi was more than 40 years older than Liu Fuling, and had always taken great care of Liu Fuling, and after Liu Fuling ascended the throne as emperor, the relationship between Princess Eyi and Liu Fuling became more intimate, and it was precisely because Princess Eyi took care of Liu Fuling for many years that liu Fuling's trust and attention were deeply trusted and valued, and the power in her hands and her status in the court were constantly rising, and finally reached the point where she could interfere with Liu Fuling's imperial power.
Based on his trust in Princess Eyi, Liu Fuling was able to allow Princess Eyi to be with his own protégé Ding Outsider in a justifiable way; based on his trust in his sister, he could make his sister a princess and have a status comparable to that of a prince; based on his trust in his sister, Liu Fuling even agreed to marry Shangguan as empress, knowing that Liu Fuling was only 12 years old at that time, and Shangguan was only 6 years old.
That is to say, the act of marrying Shangguan had a huge impact on many things that Liu Fuling later had, such as the lack of heirs was the most serious impact, the reason why there were no heirs, on the one hand, liu Fuling married the empress was too young, on the other hand, Huo Guang and other powerful ministers in order to make Empress Shangguan pregnant with dragon seeds, actually let the rest of the concubines or palace women wear tight underwear, hindering Liu Fuling from spoiling them (palace women and concubines in the Han Dynasty, in order to facilitate the emperor's favor, usually did not wear underwear).
Why did Huo Guang do this? The main reason is that the identity of Empress Shangguan is not ordinary, this Shangguan Empress is not only Huo Guang's granddaughter, but also the granddaughter of Shangguan Jie, and Shangguan Jie and Huo Guang were the biggest political enemies at that time, around the Shangguan Empress, there were many contradictions between the two.
At the beginning, in order to prevent Shangguan Jie and others from stealing the limelight, Huo Guang was unwilling to let his granddaughter marry Liu Fuling, and later could not withstand the soft and hard bubble of Princess Eyi, Huo Guang and Liu Fuling would agree to marry The Shangguan clan, but after the Shangguan clan became empress, a new round of fighting arose between Shangguan Jie and Huo Guang.
Judging from the historical records, this battle stemmed from the ambitions of Shangguan Jie and others, who was himself an important official in charge of the finances of the Han Dynasty at that time, but he did not seem to be satisfied with the power he had, and wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate Huo Guang and achieve the real sense of monopoly of power.
Ding Wairen is also a guy who does not have enough hearts to swallow the elephant, and under the temptation of various interests, he joins the ranks of Shangguan Jie, and then instigates Princess Eyi to join them, and Princess Eyi, based on her love for Ding Wairen and the yearning for power in her heart, finally joins The ranks of Shangguan Jie.
A group of them fabricated facts that Huo Guang rebelled, and once when Huo Guang was out on business, several people planned to take the opportunity to clean up Huo Guang, so they told Liu Fuling that Huo Guang had closed the road when he was inspecting the Soldiers in Kyoto, and he also mobilized his own troops without authorization, and even recalled Su Wu, who had been detained by the Xiongnu for 19 years, back to Beijing for reuse, presumably because he wanted to unite with the Xiongnu to rebel.
After listening to Shangguan Jie and the others, Liu Fuling did not immediately give a response, but said that he would wait until Huo Guang returned to find out the situation, and when Huo Guang returned the next day, Liu Fuling summoned everyone to study the matter again, and Huo Guang at first did not dare to enter the court hall because he was worried that Liu Fuling would listen to the rumors of the villains and punish himself, but waited outside the door, until Liu Fuling issued a decree that he had entered the court, and he did not go to the court hall uneasily.
Surprisingly, as soon as Liu Fuling saw Huo Guang, he showed his attitude of believing in Huo Guang, and then let everyone come up with their own evidence, after some arguments, Liu Fuling said that he believed in Huo Guang, so that Shangguan Jie and others did not know how to end.
After this incident, Shangguan Jie and the others realized Liu Fuling's strength and did not dare to use this means to frame Huo Guang anymore, they privately brewed a coup d'état to eliminate Huo Guang, although Liu Fuling did not express too much, but also privately sent people to watch the every move of this Shangguan Jie and others.
In 80 BC, Liu Fuling was already 15 years old, when Shangguan Jie and others were planning to rebel, Liu Fuling quickly sent people to take the lead and quell the rebellion before they could move, after the incident, Shangguan Jie and Sang Hongyang and others were executed by Liu Fuling, even the sister who participated in the coup d'état, Princess Eyi, was also given a glass of poisoned wine by Liu Fuling to end his life, from the perspective of Liu Fuling's means of resolving this coup, we have to admire his decisive god, saying that he Wentao did not lose to Emperor Jing of Han, presumably no one will object.
To say that in terms of martial strategy, after Liu Fuling ascended the throne, he has repelled the attacks of the Xiongnu many times, and he can also continuously develop the national economy without infringing on the Central Plains, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
epilogue
Liu Fuling is indeed quite outstanding in literature and martial arts, but such an extraordinary emperor, in the end, only lived for 21 years, if the heavens can give him more decades, presumably the Han Dynasty will become more prosperous and powerful under his governance, but unfortunately, Heaven is jealous of talents, Liu Fuling ended up with an untimely death and no heirs, which is really lamentable!
