Liu Qing, formerly known as Liu Yijie. He was the great-grandson of Emperor Wu of Han, his grandfather was Emperor Wu of Han's crown prince Liu Zhao, and his father Liu Jin, including the then empress Wei Zifu, died in the disaster of the "Curse of the Witches". Liu Yi was still in his infancy at the time, but was rescued by the then Ting Wei Bing Ji and arranged for someone to feed him.
In 87 BC, Emperor Wudi of Han was seriously ill, and someone told him that the prison was full of heavenly qi, and the suspicious Emperor Wudi of Han ordered that all the people in the prison be killed. As a result, Bing Ji swore to die to protect Liu Yi and would not let him kill him, and at dawn, Emperor Wu of Han received a report, and Emperor Wu of Han sighed, perhaps it was heaven who borrowed the mouth of Feng Ji to warn him. So he ordered a general amnesty for the world.
Emperor Han Zhao died young and had no crown prince, and Huo Guang, the chancellor at the time, elected Liu He the Prince of Changyi, the nephew of Emperor Zhao of Han, to succeed him as the grand chancellor. Liu He was emperor for 27 days before Huo Guang was deposed under the guise of Empress Shangguan (Huo Guang's granddaughter), saying that Liu He had done 1127 bad things in 27 days as emperor, but in fact, the most important thing was to disobey Huo Guang. Liu He was deposed and the throne vacant, and at this time Bingji, who was already the Grand Master of Guanglu, recommended Liu Qing to Huo Guang (at that time, his name was Liu Yiji, and the Huo family's forces were eradicated and renamed Liu Qing).
Feng Ji knew deeply that Huo Guang was no longer looking for another person with a prominent status to inherit the throne, but needed to choose a talented person to inherit the great cause of the empire! Over the years, although he has not been exposed to illness, he has also secretly watched and protected him! Although the illness has liked to fight cocks and horses, but it is also folk entertainment, there is nothing wrong with it, the key is that the disease has a kind heart, is willing to be charitable, and with the help of Zhang He, the order of the Court of The Imperial Household, worships the East Sea people As a teacher, and earnestly studies the book of "Poetry"! Abilities are also available! Therefore, Feng Ji boldly wrote to Huo Guang, considering whether choosing Liu Yi could become the heir of the imperial cause?
The most important thing is that Liu Que's parents died early, and after emperor Liu Fuling pardoned the world, Liu Que was exiled to the people, had no background, and was not old, had no experience in politics, let alone his own henchmen, and was usually an honest man who kept to himself, which was huo Guang's easy to control candidate, so the 18-year-old Liu Que was so lucky to sit on the emperor's throne, that is, Emperor Xuan of Han (74 BC - 49 BC).
