The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
In our ancient times, the number of emperors was innumerable, each emperor had his own characteristics, and each emperor governed the country differently, so their historical experience in each country also laid a great foundation for future dynasties. Each dynasty will sum up the experience of the previous dynasties and make their country prosperous, but almost every emperor has his own set of practices and ideas, but there is such an emperor, almost perfect in the hearts of everyone, such a personality is very admirable, and this person is Liu Heng, the Emperor of Han. Although Emperor Liu Heng of Han reigned for a short time in his lifetime, it was only more than 20 years! But his exploits are classics in Chinese history.
Liu's world began with the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Liu Heng was also the fourth oldest in the Liu family, and the Liu family had a total of eight sons, so he was also high or low, just stuck in the center, so this throne, he knew in his heart that he did not have many qualifications. Liu Heng's mother was also born very humble, his mother was not a large family but was born in a small civilian household, Lü Hou's face often appeared in her mother's vision, but also for various reasons, his mother was also cautious and cautious in her life, living in peace and security. Until Liu Heng was born, it was also for the sake of protecting her son' heart, fearing that Lü Hou would persecute her and her son, so he asked to leave the palace and go to the fiefdom.
The mother and son left the palace far away, leaving this place of right and wrong. And Liu Heng's mother also belongs to the type of virtuous wife and mother, and her mother is more protective of Liu Heng, resulting in Liu Heng's growth path being very smooth, it is precisely because of such a virtuous mother that Liu Heng has a tolerant and benevolent heart. It is said that good people are not too lucky. After Lü Hou's death, the throne had not been inherited, and there was no suitable candidate, so some people proposed that Liu Heng, who had a meek personality, be made a new monarch, and the ministers also agreed to this election, because Liu Heng's mother Bo Ji was also a virtuous lady, so Liu Heng also smoothly became Emperor Wen of Han.
In fact, the ministers at that time did not choose Liu Heng as the emperor because he was meek, these ministers had ulterior motives, they wanted to support this emperor with no background, because such an emperor was very manipulative, and Liu Heng was also gentle in temperament, naturally he would not resist, but the ministers' small calculations were wrong.
After Liu Heng became emperor, the various behaviors he exhibited made the ministers also impressed. On the day Liu Heng ascended the throne, he completely solved the problem of military power that the emperor valued most. At that time, Lü Hou held the military power, so many people in the dprk were very helpless, and Liu Heng skillfully confiscated the military power, and also handed the military power to the two ministers brought by his fiefdom on the spot, and skillfully held the military power firmly in his hands, these two ministers were also cleverly arranged among the nine secretaries, and these ministers brought from the fiefdom were not disliked by the ministers of the dynasty, which shows that Liu Heng has his own set of methods for handling the relationship between the monarch and the chancellor.
Liu Heng not only showed outstanding talent in handling the relationship between monarchs and subjects, but also showed his unique kingly skills in dealing with national problems and people's livelihood issues. Especially for the people's living problems, he is personally involved, almost no emperor can compare with him, he attaches great importance to the development of agriculture, but he will not increase the tax burden of the peasants, but also to reduce their taxes, he also personally led the people how to farm. When he had just become emperor, he was still very sympathetic to the civil and military officials, and personally let them return to their fiefdoms.
Emperor Wen of Han never had the luxury of living and spending, but he was still a very frugal emperor, and everyone knew that ancient emperors always liked to build some luxurious palaces and look for gold and silver jewelry, so the general cost was very large. And Emperor Wudi of Han once wanted to build a high platform, in fact, in the eyes of other emperors to build a high platform is just a matter of words, and Emperor Wu of Han after careful calculation, felt that the construction of the high platform needs to cost too much and too much, so he immediately stopped and never mentioned this matter again. Moreover, the clothes he usually wears are relatively rough in texture, and he opposes extravagance and waste, and even the clothes of his concubines are not allowed to mop the floor.
At the time of his death, he also warned his people not to be in the mourning period for a year, that his funeral only needed three days of mourning time, and that when handling funerals, he must be frugal and frugal, and the money saved must be spent on the people. It was such an emperor who was deeply loved by everyone.
All in all, Emperor Wu of Han's attitude towards ministers and people has also been praised by generations, although he reigned for only 23 years, but he was a period of strength and prosperity of the Han Dynasty, and also laid the groundwork for the "rule of Wenjing", and his children adhered to this spirit of his, making the Han Dynasty strong.
