Most of the emperors in history are pampered, wearing gold and silver, and only stand out as the king of god in the incessant struggle, and this emperor, who grew up on death row, is Liu Yiji! Speaking of the Han Dynasty, we can naturally think of many famous historical figures. Just like Liu Bang, the high ancestor who founded the Han Dynasty, The domineering and dictatorial Lü Hou, and the Han Wu emperor who rebelled against the Xiongnu. There are also countless talented people, although they have been drowned in the long river of history after the passage of time, but later, they have also left us with many wonderful legends.
Good or bad accounted for half, and it has to be said that the Han Dynasty was indeed a very prosperous dynasty. And it is in such a prosperous dynasty that there is such an emperor who is different from other emperors, who does not live in a golden and brilliant palace like other princes, who does not have a life of pampering and pampering, who does not push cups and cups, and is even worse than an ordinary ordinary person, but in the end he is a ghostly emperor!
Why Liu Yi was already on death row began with his father Liu Zhao. In this year, there was a witchcraft in Chang'an City, and at that time, witchcraft was extremely taboo in the imperial family. Between Emperor Wu of Han, who was more than half a hundred years old, and Liu Zhao, the prince of Wei, the prince was suspected by Emperor Wu of Han because he was slandered by hostile forces, and he was so afraid that he was forced to raise an army against Jiang Chong, and finally committed suicide after the defeat of the army. Finally led to a full door slash!
Tens of thousands of subjects in Chang'an City were tortured and sat together. And our future emperor, still a small baby who has just reached the full moon, the great-grandson of Emperor Wu of Han, the grandson of the crown prince, has also encountered this witchcraft since he was a child, and the political enemies remember that he is still young, he cannot bear to kill, and he has not known how to deal with it, so he is imprisoned. Bing Ji, who is in charge of Chang'an Prison, is an extremely kind person, and seeing such a small baby naturally can't bear it, he quietly saved him. It was because of meeting such a kind person that there was a later generation of Ming Emperor Han Xuan. Bingji has been taking good care of the child during his time in prison. But because the conditions in the prison were very difficult, and the baby was very weak, he asked the two women in the prison to take turns to take care of it. He is still a baby, he is always plagued by diseases, in order to make him better, so Bingji named him Liu Yiji, which means that he will not be sick when he is sick, and hopes that he can be healthy and smooth in the future and no longer be plagued by diseases.
Later, in the second year of the Later Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han unfortunately fell seriously ill, and fearing that someone would do witchcraft against him, he ordered that all patients in prison be killed. Our kind prison director closed the prison door and shouted, "Huang's great-grandson is here, and it is not okay for others to kill him in a false name!" What's more, this is the emperor's great-grandson! In the end, Emperor Wudi of Han not only did not pursue his guilt, but instead granted amnesty to the world, and this move actually made Emperor Wudi of Han recover from his illness. Good things still have to be done! In the end, because Emperor Wu of Han issued an edict, Liu Yi had also restored the royal bloodline, and after being released from prison, he gained freedom, he did not choose to return to the palace, chose to live an ordinary life of the people, this kind of life made him deeply aware of the suffering of the people.
During this period, the dynasty was ruled by Huo Guang, because Emperor Wu of Han's youngest son, Emperor Han Zhao, was extremely weak and too young to hold power. This loyal minister grasped the power of the court, but this little emperor died of illness after a few years of reign, and he did not leave any heirs after his death, Huo Guang was still a loyal minister, did not have the heart to usurp the throne, at that time many ministers strongly recommended the royal descendant Liu Yi who was in the folk at that time, and finally found this emperor in the folk, and finally Liu Yi had ascended the throne as emperor, after succeeding to the throne, he was named Emperor Xuan of Han, because he lived in the folk life as a benevolent person who knew en tu bao, so he was promoted to the court of Bingjijia who took care of himself. Rewards are also given to those who help him.
He was a wise man from snacking bitterness, understanding the people's livelihood, because he grew up in prison, and had extraordinary life experience, weathered the wind and frost, experienced hardships, had feelings and righteousness, and personally went to recruit talents, and severely punished corrupt officials, and reduced the service of the people, he also had military talent, and also made the Xiongnu eventually attached to the Han Dynasty, during his reign, the government and the public were relatively harmonious, and the economy gradually prospered, and everything he experienced did not let him learn to hate, but let him understand how to be a good emperor, for everyone's sake. In 49 BC, he was bedridden, and he died of illness and was buried in Duling. He is the only emperor in Chinese history who grew up in prison, helped by many kind people who do not ask for returns, and finally repay all this kindness from the world in his own way, he did not become a tyrant crazy revenge because he ate bitterly because of his youth, and finally he used his kindness to give back to the people of the world, and returned the Great Han a peaceful and prosperous world! Finally became a generation of Ming Jun!
