Ben was a nest emperor, and after thirteen years as a "puppet", he rose up because of a woman
The ancient emperor was a person who everyone aspired to and had a supreme position. In ancient times, how many heroes and good men were bloodied because of the struggle for the throne, and how many good men were in different places because of the throne. This person picked up an imperial throne and served as a puppet for 13 years, but because of a woman, who is this emperor? Did you know?
In ancient times, most of the emperors inherited the father's business for the son, and the brother and the brother were the last brother. And this "lucky" emperor is a person sitting at home, and the throne rises from heaven. He was Liu Zhi, an unknown emperor during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Liu Zhi reigned for many years and served as a puppet for many years, but he was really tough once because of a woman.
At first, Liu Zhi was just a Liwu Marquis, a small prince with almost no soldiers and no power. Because of Empress Liang at that time, Liu Zhi coincidentally became the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Empress Dowager Liang married her sister Liang Nuying (梁女莹) to the fifteen-year-old Marquis Liu Zhi of Liwu. Liu Zhi became Empress Liang's brother-in-law, and coupled with Empress Liang's brother Liang Ji's position in the court at that time, Liu Zhi became the new emperor supported by the Liang family and successfully ascended the throne.
Liu Zhi became emperor with the support of the Liang brothers and sisters, but in fact he was just you and the puppet. The power of the world was in the hands of Liang Ji and the eunuch clique. Because the Liang family supported Liu Zhi as emperor, the Liang family's power position can be described as a flourishing moment. At that time, Liu Zhi was still very grateful to his brother-in-law and sister-in-law. After all, without them, Liu Zhi would not have been emperor for the rest of his life.
Liu Zhi gave the Liang family the greatest reward, directly pushing Liang Ji to the peak of power, and gradually, Liang Ji monopolized power and did not take the emperor in his eyes.
As a great general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liang Ji's style of conducted directly pursued the emperor, and even surpassed the emperor's style. According to relevant historical records, there was a merchant from the Western Regions who went to Luoyang to do business. During this time, he accidentally killed a rabbit of the Liang family. As a result, Liang Ji was furious. After that, Liang Ji not only killed the merchant to pay for his rabbit, but also blamed him so much that he implicated and executed more than ten people. This incident vividly showed Liang Ji's arrogance.
As Liang Ji's power expanded, Liang Ji's hand gradually reached out to Liu Zhi. At first, Liu Zhi was grateful for Liang Ji's support and was more worried about what Liang Ji had done. But Liang Ji was inching forward and pressing Liu Zhi everywhere. Despite this, Liu Zhi still endured again and again. Until the appearance of this woman, Liu Zhi hardened and could no longer tolerate Liang Ji.
After the death of Empress Liang, Liu Zhi was depressed. After Liang Ji's wife saw this, she introduced Liang Mengnu, the daughter of Langzhong Deng Xiang, the grandson of the founding prince Deng Yu, to Liu Zhi. Liang Meng was beautiful and understanding, and soon got Liu Zhi's exclusive favor. Because of Liang Meng's daughter, the status of the Deng family gradually improved. In this regard, Liang Ji was dissatisfied in his heart and made some measures.
Liang Ji sent someone to assassinate Liu Zhi's new mother-in-law, but was discovered by Liang Mengnu and told Liu Zhi. Liu Zhi could not bear this, and sent people to quickly surround Liang Ji's mansion and seize Liang Ji's military power. Not long after that, Liang Ji and his wife chose to commit suicide. At this time, Liu Zhicai was able to grasp the power of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Liu Zhi was emperor Huan of Han of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who had been a puppet for 13 years, but he was really tough once because of a woman. If Liu Zhi had been tough earlier, he might have become a good emperor. But this is the case, because Liu Zhi's various behaviors are also doomed to his reputation as a faint prince.
