Liu Heng's superficial favor for Mrs. Shen is only a cover-up, which is like the current homosexuals who cannot withstand social pressure and choose to marry women in order to hide their identity. However, judging from what happened later, Liu Heng liked men a little more than he liked women.
A topic that has long since ceased to be a topic has surfaced – the homosexuality of the emperors of the Great Han Dynasty, or rather the male favorite, because we cannot be sure whether the Emperor of the Han Dynasty really liked men or played with men at that time. Heterosexual attraction, same-sex repulsion, biological laws in nature are broken, how can men like men? We can't answer this question, but we were surprised to find that in the Han Dynasty, emperors favored male color.
True love has nothing to do with gender. There are many more sincere and dedicated homosexuals, who love men as much as they love women, based on their instincts and feelings.
A prominent example is the relationship between Emperor Hancheng and his male favorite Zhang Fang. Emperor Hancheng's reputation is very bad, and men and women eat everything, but we can't deny that his feelings for Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede and his feelings for Zhang Fang are sincere.
Zhang Fang was a beautiful man, and if he wasn't pretty, Emperor Hancheng wouldn't like it. Emperor Hancheng became inseparable from him, married the princess to him, and made him the Marquis of Fuping. Zhang Fang was favored and offended the mother's family of Emperor Hancheng's mother. They went to the empress dowager several times to complain, and each time it was Emperor Hancheng who interceded for him, and he survived. Finally, the empress dowager exiled Zhang. On the day of separation, Emperor Cheng and Zhang Fang hugged and wept. After separation, they often corresponded, and Hongyan made love. Later, Emperor Cheng died of indulgence, and Zhang Fang also died of longing and weeping day and night.
After understanding the homosexuality problems of the emperors of the Han Dynasty, let's talk about the love between Emperor Wen of Han and Deng Tong.
Whether liu heng and Deng Tong are love or not, we will not say, and it is not too late to draw conclusions after reading the story between them.
Liu Heng's love for Deng Tong originated from a dream of his, whether this dream is true or not we can not verify, the historians in ancient times always love to find a reason, everything will have a reason, a person will not fall in love with another person for no reason, that is to say, Liu Heng is absolutely impossible to fall in love with Deng Tong at first sight.
This dream is said like this, Liu Heng dreamed of a boatman in Yetingchi pushing him into the sky, this boatman wearing a yellow hat and tying his shirt to the back. Under the thrust of the boatman, Liu Heng finally ascended to the sky. After waking up from the dream, Liu Heng couldn't wait to send someone to find the boatman according to the dream he described. Liu Heng believed that this boatman was the noble man in his life. It is understandable that people in ancient times were very superstitious about dreams and other things, let alone good dreams of ascension.
There were such strange things in the world, and soon, the minions sent down came with exciting news: the boatman in Liu Heng's dream had been found.
When Liu Heng looked at it, he was exactly the same as in the dream, the same age, wearing a yellow hat and the placket tied behind his back.
Liu Henglong was overjoyed, and then asked the name, called Deng Tong, hey, it is even more amazing, isn't Deng Tong "DengTong"? Providence, really Providence also.
At this point, the boatman in Liu Heng's dream became the lover in Liu Heng's dream, and Liu Heng's love for Deng Tong was like the water of the Yellow River, gushing endlessly.
I really admire those historians for being able to make up such a beautiful story. If there is no such cause, where is the fruit of Liu Heng's favor for Deng Tong? Will Liu Heng like a poor boy who has nothing for no reason? Will Liu Heng be so despicable? Of course not. So, such a story was made up.
Na Lan Qiu thought that Liu Heng just liked such a person as Deng Tong, because he was beautiful, because he was kind, because he was careful, and more importantly, because of his taste for Liu Heng, or that Liu Heng had feelings for him, this feeling was not found in the harem three thousand beautiful women, but found in Deng Tong.
Dou Yifang's cronies kept telling her the story of Liu Heng and Deng Tong, but no one told her why Liu Heng liked men and liked Deng Tong.
At that time, of course, there was no such thing as homosexuality, and Dou Yifang did not know how to describe Liu Heng's behavior, and it was difficult to dissuade him.
So, she could only endure, watching a man take her beloved man away from her, but she had no power to fight back, who knew about this pain?
However, Liu Heng granted Deng Tong the right to mint coins, and Dou Yifang felt that Liu Heng had played a little too much, and if he did not stop it, Liu Heng's beautiful image of thrift and thrift would be destroyed by Deng Tong. Therefore, Dou Yifang found Liu Heng, but he only knocked on the side of the side, and before he could say anything about the right topic, Liu Heng was impatient, and with a big wave of his hand, he drove Dou Yifang out.
At this point, dou yifang could no longer do anything. In addition to Liu Heng treating Dou Yifang as an empress, there is no longer a marital relationship, and Dou Yifang is equivalent to a widow. She didn't understand what Deng Tong was capable of, why did she fascinate Liu Heng so deeply? In Dou Yifang's eyes, there would be no love between the two men, and she really couldn't find a reason for Liu Heng to treat Deng Tong so much, so she had to see Deng Tong as a charming figure like Dai Ji, the reincarnation of a fox spirit.
Liu Heng had a sore on his back, and when Deng Tong was waiting for him, he found it, so he used his mouth to suck the abscess and slowly sucked out the poisonous juice, liu Heng was deeply moved. In other words, everyone will be moved, let alone their own lover. Therefore, Liu Heng asked Deng Tong, under the whole world, who loves me the most? Deng Tong actually wanted to say that he was himself, but out of courtesy, he replied that he was the prince.
Liu Heng nodded his head suspiciously, and it happened that the crown prince Liu Qi came to visit his father, and Liu Heng wanted to test the prince, so he asked Liu Qi to suck pus for him. Liu Qi took a look at the abscess on his father's back, hesitated, Liu Heng's face changed dramatically, and said to Liu Qi, Just now Deng Tong has sucked for me, I just tried to test you. Deng Tong said that the prince who loved me the most under the heavens was the prince, and I saw that the prince's love for me was not as good as Deng Tong's love for me.
Deng Tong's tragic end is thus a foregone conclusion, but it is only a matter of time.
Liu Heng once asked Deng Tong what to do with Deng Tong after he died. Dunton froze at the time, he had never thought of such a question.
Just a month after Liu Heng asked Deng Tong this question, a question that Deng Tong had never thought of happened, and Liu Heng died. The man who had given him unparalleled love had left him.
Wei Bao, who worked with Liu Bang against Xiang Yu, broke with Liu Bang and dreamed of becoming an emperor because he predicted that Bo Ji would "give birth to the Son of Heaven in the future and become the first noble woman in the world". Unfortunately, not long after the daydream began, Wei Bao was beheaded by the angry Liu Bang sent soldiers, and all the women in the "Wei Palace" were used as weaving maids in the Han Palace.
Later, Liu Bang died, the crown prince Liu Ying took the throne, and Lü Hou took control of the internal and external power of the court and the imperial court, and carried out a bloody liquidation of other princes and Liu Bang's favorite concubines. Liu Bang's sons died one after another, and only two of the 8 grown sons were left. Only Bo Ji's mother and son, because they had been snubbed and humiliated in the past, had received tolerance and pity from Empress Lü. She ordered her to go to the fiefdom with her son Dai Wang to become the king and empress dowager.
Seven years passed, and Emperor Hui of Han and Empress Lü died one after another. Emperor Wen of Han himself was also the ruler of Wenjing Zhizhi ,"a generation of Ming Jun of the prosperous world, but also a famous filial piety in history, and among the twenty-four filial pieties known to everyone is Emperor Wen of Han."
Bo Ji never thought of herself as Liu Bang's spouse, and her wish was to live with her beloved son forever. After her death, she was buried in the southern part of Emperor Wen's mausoleum. Emperor Wen said that he would always carry his mother on his back and continue to do filial piety to this mother who had dedicated his life to him after his death, and Bo Ji would always guard the side of his son Liu Heng. Therefore, Empress Bo, who gave birth to a famous son like Emperor Wen of Han, was buried with her own son in Baling, southeast of present-day Xi'an.
