Emperor Wu of Han woke up from his sleep, and at this time there was a disturbance outside the Han Palace. Bingji, the official in charge of managing the prison, held a four-year-old child and begged Emperor Wu of Han to spare the child's life.
This child was Liu Yiji, the grandson of the deposed prince Liu Zhao.
At this time, according to the plague of the witches, several years had passed since Emperor Wu of Han missed his son very much, and the appearance of Liu's illness had surprised Emperor Wu of Han very much. Waste
The crown prince Liu Zhi was later rehabilitated, but Emperor Wu of Han did not make Liu Zhao's grandson Liu Yi already emperor. Since he missed his son, why didn't Emperor Wu of Han establish Liu Yi as emperor? In fact, this is Liu Che's last kindness to Liu Zhiyi.
First, the scourge of witchcraft
Emperor Wu of The Han Dynasty, who was brilliant and ambitious, was questioned in his later years as a poor soldier.
At this time, Emperor Wudi of Han no longer had the sober mind and quick thinking of his youth, but was obsessed with how to live forever every day.
Even people like Emperor Wu of Han could not avoid the fear of death. It is precisely because Emperor Wu of Han was always wary of others stealing his position as emperor that there was a curse behind the witches.
Of course, this is not the only reason for the scourge of witchcraft, but it is also a key factor that cannot be ignored.
The struggle between the different factions eventually led to the outbreak of the Witch Curse. The crown prince Liu Zhao, who was created by Emperor Wu of Han, struggled, Wei Zifu lost the grace of Emperor Wu of Han, and the scenery of the empress was no longer what it used to be.
With the death of Wei Qing, the entire Wei family also gradually declined. The influence of the princely faction is getting lower and lower
。
At this time, the crown prince Liu Zhu did not deeply understand the reality, but still chose to confront the clique forces led by Jiang Chong and Su Wen.
Emperor Wu of Han himself was not very satisfied with Liu Zhao's talents, and coupled with the fact that Jiang Chong, Su Wen, and others were fanning the flames on the side, the more they looked at Liu Zhao, the more unpleasant they became.
Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, who had entered old age, was very superstitious. Listening to the rumors, he thought that there was a deception in Chang'an City, so he went to live in Ganquan Palace.
Jiang Chong and Su Wen spared no effort to give the crown prince Liu a "black cauldron". At this time, Liu Zhao, who was isolated and helpless, had to take the risk and rebel.
In the end, the scourge of witchcraft also became an indelible stain on Emperor Wu of Han. In 91 BC, the crown prince Liu Zhao ended his life in the area of present-day Tang River in Henan.
The year-long scourge of witchcraft and witchcraft led to the implication of several 100,000 people, including the tragic cost of more than 10,000 dead and injured, and the whereabouts of the descendants of Prince Liu Zhao also attracted much attention.
2. Great-granddaughter of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
After the suicide of crown prince Liu Zhu, his children were naturally implicated, and at this time, one of Liu Zhao's grandsons was only three or four months old and was also concerned about prison
。 It is reasonable to say that such a young child will certainly not live long if he is put in prison, after all, the conditions in prison are very bad.
However, a small official in prison named Bingji insisted that the former crown prince Liu Zhao was wronged.
Seeing that Liu Zhao's grandson was particularly pitiful, he secretly raised the child and gave him a name, Liu Yiji. If Liu Yi had grown up safely, he would not have any interest in the emperor's throne.
However, Jiang Chong and Su Wen's clique believed that Liu Had grown ill and had sought revenge on himself, so they lied to Emperor Wu of Han that there was "the qi of the son of heaven" in Chang'an's prison.
The elderly Emperor Wudi of Han himself was particularly suspicious, and after hearing these words, he made a decision to kill all the people in Chang'an Prison. BingJi, holding the young Liu Yi, had already pleaded with Emperor Wu of Han at the gate of the Han Palace in the hope that Liu Yi would be spared.
Thanks to the help of others, Liu has been exempted from criminal law. However, all the others in the prison were killed, leaving only Liu Yiji.
Emperor Wu of Han did not let his grandson return to him, but still let him grow up in prison. Many people think that Emperor Wudi of Han is too desperate, but in fact, this is the real conscience of Emperor Wudi of Han
。 Although Emperor Wu of Han was accused of being too faint in his old age, Emperor Wu of Han felt that things were not so simple after the death of Crown Prince Liu.
Later, Emperor Wu of Han also built a si womb. It also shows his longing for his son Liu Zhao.
After all, Liu Zhi was his own son, leaving only such a bloodline, and Emperor Wu of Han also naturally protected Liu Yi, who was only four or five years old at the time and had no ability to protect himself.
If he is taken to his side and raised, some forces will definitely attack Liu Yi.
Emperor Wu of Han considered Bingji to be particularly loyal after passing. Liu Yi was already relatively safe around him. Emperor Wu of Han finally did not have Liu Yi as the crown prince in fact to protect the crown prince Liu Zhiyi. It is also the last mercy to his son.
However, Emperor Wu of Han did not expect that Liu Yi, who had later changed his name to Liu Que, had already inherited the emperor's throne after going around.
Although Liu Yi was no longer as talented as Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty. But still a good emperor who was diligent and earnest.
3. Emperor Xuan of Han asked Liu Qing
After the death of Emperor Wu of Han, he passed the emperor's throne to Liu Fuling, which was Emperor Zhao of Han. Emperor Han Zhao died at the age of 21 and left no children. group
The dragon was leaderless, and the great general Huo Guang took advantage of this to control the government. Feng Shui took turns, and finally it was Liu Yi's turn. At this time, Bing Ji was already an important confidant of Huo Guang's side.
Liu's sick grandfather, Liu Zhao, had a loyal retinue named Zhang He by his side at the time. Zhang He's younger brother Zhang Shi'an was also a very important person for Huo Guang. The two saw the opportunity to recommend to Huo Guang that Liu Yi had succeeded to the throne as emperor.
Eventually, Liu Yi changed his name to Liu Qing and officially ascended the throne as emperor. This was the Han Xuan Emperor who created another prosperous era.
Although the Han Dynasty was seriously injured by the scourge of the Witches, after Emperor Xuan of Han succeeded to the throne, he tried his best to cure it. From this incident, we can see the benevolent heart of Emperor Xuan of Han
。 When Emperor Xuan of Han was still ill with Liu, he was ordered by Liu Fuling to move to Yeting.
Here he met Xu Guanghan, a prison official, and later married Xu Pingjun, the daughter of a prison official.
At that time, the life of the two sons was not rich, and it was only by relying on the help of their father-in-law from time to time that the two people barely survived.
Despite the hardships of life,
But Liu Yi has spent a warm time here with a family and a wife. After becoming emperor, he planned to make his wife Xu Pingjun empress, but was opposed by the general Huo Guang.
Liu Yi was already very grateful to General Huo Guang, believing that he could not be emperor without himself. So for Huo Guang, it was almost obedient,
However, Huo Guang did not agree to make Xu Pingjun empress, but Emperor Xuan of Han insisted on his opinion.
Liu Yi, who has lived in the folk since he was a child, has naturally understood the suffering of the people very well. After becoming emperor, many of the policies he formulated and many of the rules and regulations were based on the interests of the people.
At this time, Emperor Xuan of Han did not realize the cruelty of the court struggle, but after watching his beloved wife Xu Pingjun being drugged and killed during childbirth, he realized the importance of power.
summary:
Liu Yi had grown into an iron-fisted emperor in the brutal struggle of the court, and after Huo Guang's death, his home was raided, and the Han Empire finally truly ushered in the era of Emperor Xuan of Han.
It only took more than twenty years for Liu Yi to accomplish what his great-grandfather Emperor Wu of Han had not done, especially to rectify the rule of officials and lightly dispense with thin endowments.
A series of recuperation policies allowed the Han Dynasty to gradually regain its former glory. And the Han Xuan Emperor, who was born in this prison, also left a strong mark in history.
Compared with the talented Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Yi, who was born in the folk, was already a good emperor who was grounded.
