In the long river of Chinese history, since Qin Shi Huang first created the title of emperor, and finally to the last emperor Puyi, there have been more than four hundred emperors in the middle, some of whom are heroic and ambitious, some of whom are absurd, some of whom have advanced the progress of history, and some of which have hindered the development of history.
This is why some people ask, among so many emperors, is there not a perfect one? Yes, of course, there are, today Xiaobian will come to you to nag the four most perfect emperors in Chinese history, they have almost no stain on their lives, there is no smear.
The first, Emperor Xuan of Han, Liu Qing
Speaking of Emperor Xuan of Han, many people may not know a lot, but if you have watched the TV series "Oolong Breaks through the Love Pass", you must know who it is, yes, it is Liu Yi, Liu Que's life is very legendary, his grandfather Liu Zhu committed suicide in the scourge of witchcraft, and only Liu Yi has survived in this vein, and has since been exiled to the people.
Because he had tasted all kinds of hardships, after taking the throne, he knew that the life of the people was very difficult, so after he came to power, he carried out a major rectification of the politics of the time, abolished many taxes against the people, and distributed his land to the people of his own country.
Externally, it even joined forces with Wusun to break the Xiongnu, making the Xiongnu submit to it, setting up the Western Regions Capital Protectorate, and returning all the countries in the Western Regions to the control of the Han Dynasty, and from then on, the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains belonged to the territory of China, laying the map of China.
During the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han, the whole country was politically clear, socially harmonious, economically prosperous, and the four Yi were obeyed, the officials were called their posts, the people were safe and their businesses, and the history was called the rule of filial piety, and the Book of Han even commented that the period of Emperor Xuan of Han was the period when the Western Han Dynasty was the strongest in force and the most prosperous in the economy.
The second, Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor
You often see such a sentence on the Internet, the usurper Wang Mang was a crosser, his appearance destroyed the original historical process, was perceived by the plane at that time, and dropped the son of the plane, the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu's journey from a straw coat to the founding emperor is a very inspirational model in itself, we know that the Han Dynasty was divided into the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty from the middle in the history of more than four hundred years, the Western Han Dynasty was destroyed because of Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, and then the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu and various rebel armies overthrew the new dynasty, and pacified the various divisions of power, and finally established a unified Eastern Han Empire.
After the establishment of the empire, Liu Xiuli tried his best to govern the country politically, advocating "judo" governance, reforming the official system, straightening out the official style of government, streamlining the structure, and giving preferential treatment to meritorious heroes; economically, recuperating, restoring and developing the economy; culturally, vigorously promoting Confucianism and advocating integrity, and creating the era of "Guangwu Zhongxing" in Chinese history, which was "the most weathered and the most prosperous Confucianism."
The third, Song Renzong Zhao Zhen
We know that the Song Dynasty is a dynasty with a long existence cycle in Chinese history, but there are not many emperors who have made achievements, and Song Renzong Zhao Zhen is a relatively rare Ming Emperor and Holy Lord among the emperors in the past, it is said that when the news of Zhao Zhen Renzong's death reached Luoyang, the citizens also automatically suspended the market to mourn, and the smoke of burning paper money filled the sky over Luoyang City, and even Yelü Hongji cried for this, and also built a crown tomb for Song Renzong.
Song Renzong reigned for the longest 42 years, during which the country was peaceful, the borders were stable, the economy was prosperous, the science and culture were developed, and the people's lives were stable. During the reign of Emperor Renzong, the government officially issued the world's earliest paper money, the "Official Jiaozi".
Moreover, the literary and artistic undertakings at that time were very developed, of which six of the eight masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties were active in this period, and many famous courtiers such as Bao Zheng, Fan Zhen, Tang Jie, etc. emerged, and the literary and artistic achievements during this period were abundant, and it was a period of peak talents.
Fourth, Emperor Mingxiaozong Zhu Youfan
Although in the impression of many people, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the xianming can not be linked, but the Ming Emperor Zhu Youfan is a clear stream among the Emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Xiaozong only married one wife Empress Zhang in his lifetime, he is not only very single-minded in his feelings, in terms of governing the country, he is also a wise monarch, Ming Xianzong is diligent in government affairs, attaches importance to justice, reuses a number of upright ministers, reverses the decline of the Ming Dynasty, and creates a prosperous situation of "Hongzhi Zhongxing".
Successive historians have spoken highly of him, and Zhu Guozhen, the first assistant of the cabinet during the Ming Dynasty's Wanli Dynasty, said: "Three generations or less, called the wise lords, Emperor Wen of Han, Emperor Renzong of Song, and Emperor Xiaozong of my Ming Dynasty." ”
The fifth, Later Zhou Shizong Chai Rong
Speaking of Chai Rong, everyone may be very unfamiliar with him, although Chai Rong has only been emperor for five and a half years, but his every move contains the virtues of all the emperors of China.
First of all, Chai Rong is the first effective king of the five generations, which is beyond doubt, when Chai Rong ascended the throne, he adhered to the principle of being humble, loving the people, and single-mindedly being a good emperor, Sima Guang once said that the person he admired most in his life was Chai Rong.
Chai Rong became one of the "three martial arts and one sect" because of the campaign to extinguish Buddhism, becoming the last autocratic emperor in Chinese history to carry out the campaign to destroy Buddhism, although the Buddhist family can not give him any good evaluation, but it is certain that he destroyed Buddhism for practical political purposes, not entirely based on personal likes and dislikes.
Unfortunately, the fate was not good, he died young, he did not complete the great cause of national unification, recovering the land of clouds, helplessly leaving behind the hard-fought Jiangshan, which should have been ready for development, the rapidly rising Later Zhou Empire, how the little emperor was powerless and at the mercy of others. In the end, this great inheritance was given to Zhao Kuangyin,rather than Chai Zongxun inheriting the emperor's throne, it was better to say that Zhao Kuangyin inherited the Later Zhou Jiangshan.
