Being able to become emperor far exceeded Liu Zhi's expectations, because he was originally just a Liwu Marquis who was sealed outside. However, after Emperor Han was purged and expelled, he, who was originally going to become the empress dowager's brother-in-law, came to the door with a double happiness when he was ordered to return to Beijing to marry his wife, and became the candidate for tianzi favored by the general Liang Ji. It is precisely for this reason that since he became emperor, he has become a puppet of Empress Liang and the great general.
From the perspective of Liang Ji and Empress Dowager Liang, they could not be blamed for making such a decision. Because on the one hand, Liu Zhi's imperial status can be used to block the doubts of others; on the other hand, the emperor is also the son-in-law of the Liang family, which is enough to ensure that the identity of Liang's foreign relatives continues to interfere in politics. Of course, the ins and outs of this matter, Liu Zhi did not think at all, he was just a 15-year-old boy Lang at the time.
In fact, in the eyes of the courtiers, Liu Garlic, the king of Qinghe, was more qualified to be an emperor, and for this reason he also quarreled in the court. However, the eunuchs led by Cao Teng sided with Liang Ji, so that Liu Zhi finally won the battle for the throne and became known as the Han Huan Emperor. From the perspective of Liang Ji and Cao Teng, they believe that Liu Garlic is more capable, and for this reason, they are more willing to control Liu Zhi in order to maintain their long-term wealth.
The great general Liang, who had made meritorious achievements, even relied on this power to fall to the opposition. Later, Empress Liang also had nothing to do with her brother, and could only use a group of so-called zhongtang attendants who were eunuchs to negotiate with Liang Ji. After Empress Liang's death, the Liang general had no one to control, and the Liang clan not only served as officials in the imperial court and localities in large numbers, but also many women filled the harem as concubines, with the potential to call the wind and rain and cover the sky with one hand.
Therefore, in the first 13 years of becoming emperor, Liu Zhi was nothing more than a puppet. For him, having a good relationship with the great general is the foundation of his life. However, when the Hidden Dragon was in the abyss, he was also secretly accumulating strength and making silent preparations for the future overthrow of Liang Ji. Since the court was already monopolized by Liang Ji, the only eunuchs that Liu Zhi could rely on for this were those eunuchs around him, and in addition to that, he could only bear the burden of humiliation.
However, a woman named Liang Mengnu who appeared next to him changed Liu Zhi's fate and allowed him to restore the style of the emperor. In fact, this woman was originally sent to the palace by Liang Ji's side, and because of her appearance, she quickly got the emperor's favor. Liang Mengnu was the daughter of Deng Xiang, so Liu Zhi supported the Deng family to resist the Liang family.
Is there any reason why the power that has been gained will fall into the hands of others? Liang Ji wanted to send someone to kill Liang Meng's mother, Chang An jun. The frightened soulless Liang Mu ran into the palace and told Liu Zhi the original version of the matter. Liu Zhi could endure being bullied before, but this time even the mother who loved the woman could not protect him, so Liu Zhi decided to give it a go. After some planning, Liu Zhi sent people to launch a surprise attack, surrounded Liang Ji's mansion, and recaptured the general Yin Shou. Liang Ji, who knew that he was powerless to return to heaven, had to choose to commit suicide. It was only at this time that Liu Zhicai regained his imperial style.
