He was originally a nest emperor, who had been a puppet for thirteen years, but he rose up because of a woman
We all know that the last year of the Han Dynasty was divided into three kingdoms, but very little do we know the interesting things about the end of the Han Dynasty before the division of the three kingdoms, the last year of the Han Dynasty, the gang often collapsed, the emperor changed frequently, anyone with the support of the powerful ministers can be the emperor, even not the royal family, today we want to talk about this puppet emperor is not the royal family, is the empress's brother-in-law.
After the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty once again fell to the situation of no emperor, and the then great general Liang Ji ran to the palace to find his sister Empress Liang and asked who his sister should be emperor, and Empress Liang said a name, her brother-in-law Liu Zhi. Empress Liang's sister Liang Nüying had just married 15-year-old Liu Zhi, so Liu Zhi, the Marquis of Liwu, became Empress Liang's brother-in-law, and Empress Liang thought that Liu Zhi was still young and easier to control, and she was also her brother-in-law, making her brother-in-law the emperor, and the Liang family could participate in politics as a foreign relative.
When the general Liang Ji heard of his sister's idea, he felt very good, so he listened to his sister's advice and planned to make Liu Zhi emperor. However, the ministers of the DPRK could not do it, how could this work, the ministers of the DPRK supported Liu Garlic, the king of Qinghe, as emperor, so the two waves of people quarreled. When the two forces were at loggerheads, a force that affected the balance of the two sides appeared, the eunuch force, and in this case, whoever the eunuch force supported could win. At that time, the leader of the eunuch forces was Cao Teng, Cao Cao's grandfather, the Cao family and the Liang family were friends of hardship, close relations, the eunuch forces led by Cao Teng also supported Liu Zhi as emperor, so Liu Zhi won the battle for the throne and ascended the throne as Emperor Huan of Han.
After Liu Zhi ascended the throne, the Liang family became the largest family power at that time, controlling the government and power, and the Liang family successively produced seven princes, three empresses, six nobles, seven edicted ladies and female feudal lords, three horses, and countless other government officials, and as many as fifty-seven people were enda. As a result, the Liang family, led by Liang Ji, also began to become flamboyant, forming gangs in the DPRK and China to exclude other forces. It is said that a merchant from the Western Regions went to Luoyang to do business, during which he accidentally killed a rabbit of the Liang family, which angered the Liang family, and Liang Ji, in order to show his status in the Han Dynasty, killed this merchant in the Western Regions, and also engaged in a large number of Zhulian, and more than a dozen people died because of this matter.
Liang Ji was already the real emperor of the Han Dynasty at that time, and Liu Zhi was only a superficial emperor. Seeing the flying Liu Zhi, Empress Liang could not advise, she could not control her brother now, empress Dowager Liang left four words for her brother before she died, so that she could do it herself. Although Liu Zhi is a puppet emperor, he also has the heart to grasp real power and does not want to be a puppet again, but how easy is this? Most of the ministers in the court were from the Liang family, and none of the ministers listened to him, so Liu Zhi gradually gave up resistance, but Liang Ji frequently challenged Liu Zhi's bottom line.
After the death of Liu Zhi's empress Dowager Liang, Liu Zhi had been sullen and unhappy, so Liang Ji's wife Sun Shou introduced another wife to Liu Zhi, and Sun Shou recommended Deng Mengnu, the daughter of the chancellor Deng Family, to Liu Zhi, and Deng Mengnu later changed her surname to Liang and was called Liang Mengnu. Liang Meng's daughter was talented and intelligent, born beautiful as a flower, and soon gained Liu Zhi's exclusive favor, so the Deng family gradually gained power under Liu Zhi's favor, and Liu Zhi even named Liang Meng's mother Chang'an Jun.
Liang Ji was naturally not happy to see this situation, so he sent someone to assassinate Chang'an Jun, and the assassinated Chang'an Jun had no way to escape, so he had to flee to the palace and take refuge and told Liu Zhi about it. This touched Liu Zhi's bottom line, Liu Zhi's daily travel and meals must now be reported to Liang Ji, Liang Ji dared to blatantly assassinate the people of the imperial court, so Liu Zhi began to bottom out and rebound, and Chong Guan was angry and red.
Liu Zhi asked Shang Shu to order Yin Xun to guard the palace official office with a military charm, and sent Huangmen Ling Gu to surround Liang Ji's residence with more than a thousand knights, Tiger Guards, Yulin, Duhou Sword Warriors, and so on, and then sent Guanglu Xun Yuan Xu with fu jie to confiscate Liang Ji's general Yin Shou, Liang Ji had no soldiers in his hands, and was surrounded by a large army, knowing that his time limit had arrived, and committed suicide with his wife Sun Shou on the same day. On this day, Liu Zhi, the Emperor of Han Huan, was 28 years old, and from the age of 15, he ascended the throne and served as a puppet emperor for 13 years, and finally held real power.
