The strongest "leak-picking king" in the Western Han Dynasty: his mother's loss of favor became the key to his becoming emperor

In ancient times, the most tempting thing to say was the throne. For this emperor's position, the father kills the son, the son kills the father, the brother kills the brother, the brother kills the brother, and the brother kills the brother, and as for those founding emperors, the entrepreneurial process is even more difficult, which is enough to show that the emperor's throne is not easy to obtain.

However, there was such a person, he did not do anything, he was held on the emperor's throne, and he also broke into a career, this person is Liu Heng, the Emperor of HanWen, saying that he is the strongest leaky king, it seems that it is not too much.

So, how did Emperor Liu Heng of Han pick up the leak?

The Rebellion of Zhulu

As the first civilian emperor of our country, Liu Bang's historical status naturally does not need to be said. However, it is precisely because of his civilian status that he is more concerned about his Han foundation a hundred years later, after all, Liu's heritage is too small.

Therefore, cutting off the king with a different surname and dividing up the Liu clan has become a matter of certainty.

I thought that when these things were done well, Liu Shijiangshan would be stable, who thought, but there was a problem inside Liu Bang, that is, Lü Hou's ambitions.

Liu Bang's political co-optation with Lü Hou was actually in his eyes, and for this reason, he even wanted to depose the crown prince, and he did not hesitate to kill his brother Fan Duo. However, it was too late.

Facts have also proved that after Liu Bang's death, Lü Hou monopolized power and began to take action against Liu Shizong, and several of Liu Bang's sons, including Liu Ruyi, Liu Hui, and Liu You, were directly or indirectly killed by Lü Hou. Not only that, Lü Hou also violated Liu Bang's "White Horse Alliance" and wantonly divided Lü's sons as kings.

Lü Hou's various performances show that her purpose is to subvert the foundation of the Han clan.

However, perhaps by providence, all of Lü Hou's plans had not yet been fully implemented, and like Liu Bang, she died, leaving behind the Lü clan's parties who were dazed and overwhelmed.

Lü Hou's death caused Lü's party to lose its main backbone, and a group of Han courtiers saw the opportunity and launched an action to destroy Lü Hou.

The battle ended in the victory of the Han courtiers.

However, problems arise. When Lü Hou was alive, he was arbitrarily deposing the emperor, so the Han courtiers believed that Lü Hou's emperor was no longer enough to ensure the purity of Liu's bloodline, so they planned to choose from the princes who were divided into fiefs.

So, who to pick?

Sometimes, falling out of favor becomes an advantage

Lü Hou's foreign relatives interfered in politics, which gave this group of Han courtiers a deep impression, and in order to prevent such things from happening again, the Han courtiers decided to choose a prince with little foreign influence as the new emperor.

Choosing to go, there is really a very suitable candidate, Liu Heng.

Before talking about Liu Heng, let's talk about his mother Bo Ji.

Bo Ji was originally the woman of the Wei king leopard of the State of Wei during the Chu-Han War. After the state of Wei was destroyed, Bo Ji entered Liu Bang's tent, and was favored by Liu Bang and filled into Liu Bang's harem.

However, maybe it was only a whim at that time, or maybe Liu Bang had too many concubines. Bo Ji, who entered Liu Bang's harem, never saw Liu Bang again.

Fortunately, Bo Ji has a group of good sisters and is very favored. After this group of good sisters heard about this, they hinted at Liu Bang at the root of Liu Bang's ear, and Liu Bang remembered this Bo Ji and immediately spoiled her.

It was this time that Bo Ji became pregnant with her son, Liu Heng.

However, only this time, Liu Bang never saw Bo Ji again, and the real thing was that Liu Xia Hui.

In this way, until Liu Bang died, Bo Ji never saw him. After Lü Hou came to power, because poor Bo Ji was as unloved as himself, he allowed Bo Ji to go to the fiefdom of his son Liu Heng.

This is all Bo Ji's previous experience.

Bo Ji was not favored, it was a fact, but at this time, it became the biggest help for his son Liu Heng.

When Liu Bang was alive, the most favored ones were not to say, Lady Qi was famous, and there were many other favored concubines, such as Bo Ji's two little sisters, without these two, Bo Ji might not have Liu Heng's son.

Among so many favored concubines, those courtiers would only go to Bo Ji if they had brain problems. Therefore, Bo Ji's power is almost non-existent.

As for Bo Ji's relatives, there was one, the younger brother Bo Zhao, who was gone.

And the daiji that Liu Heng sealed was also a barren land, indicating that he was not favored by Liu Bang.

Qunchen summary: Liu Heng is really the perfect candidate.

In this way, the confused Liu Heng became emperor, for Emperor Wen of Han.
