After Liu He was deposed in 257, why did Emperor Xuan of Han relocate the deposed Emperor of Han to Yuzhang Commandery and change his title to Marquis of Haidu?
Liu He, the deposed emperor of the Han Dynasty, was deposed for 27 days and was deposed with the support of the powerful minister Huo Guang, and the feudal state was changed to Shanyang County, leaving only 2,000 households in Tangmuyi, but fortunately he could still enjoy the treatment of being crowned king. However, after Emperor Xuan of Han sat firmly in the world, he moved him from Changyi to Yuzhang and demoted his prince to marquis. Because the new fiefdom was Haidian County in Yuzhang, it was called Haixia Hou.
Emperor Xuan of Han went from a prisoner to a prisoner to a nine-five-year-old, experienced the sufferings of the people, experienced the cold and warmth of the world, and therefore cherished the hard-won supreme imperial power. Although Liu He had been deposed for his arrogance and indulgence, he demanded that he be foolproof. Therefore, he is still very jealous of Liu He's existence, and is worried that someone will take advantage of Liu He.
Shanyang Commandery Taishou monitored Liu He
In 64 BC, Emperor Xuan of Han sent emissaries to Shanyang Taishou Zhang Changxi, saying: "Edict Shanyang Taishou: Be cautious against thieves, pay attention to passers-by, and do not leak this edict!" The content of the edict was not assured of the security of Shanyang County, but Taishou Zhang Chang understood that this was an uneasy feeling about the former deposed emperor Liu He, so he began to monitor Liu He.
Zhang Chang wrote a report to Emperor Xuan of Han to the effect that the king of Changyi was currently relatively low-key in Shanyang County, and except for a slave who sold vegetables, the rest of the slaves basically did not go out. Shanyang County also sent special inspectors to patrol the palace of Changyi for a long time. After Emperor Xuan of Han read Zhang Chang's report, he did not seem to be very satisfied with the report and did not reply.
So Zhang Chang rewrote a report to the effect that Liu He suffered from paralysis and was unable to move; when chatting with him, he felt that he was a bit demented and stupid; Liu He also demanded that the sick people not be treated, and that they fight and kill each other and punish them illegally, just to let them die quickly, still naturally like to die randomly, and lack the benevolence and righteousness of normal people.
In fact, Liu He's deposed body was not able to set off any more storms, but What Emperor Xuan of Han was worried about was that someone would use the identity of the Deposed Emperor of Han to cause trouble. After all, Liu He had been deposed by the powerful minister Huo Guang, and he had destroyed the Huo family, which was equivalent to indirectly denying Huo Guang's previous actions. Hearing that Liu He was already demented and stupid, he was slightly relieved.
He was created marquis of Haixia by the King of Changyi
In 63 BC, Emperor Xuan of Han believed that Liu He, the king of Changyi, had only 2,000 households in Tangmuyi. Therefore, he was relocated to Haidian County, Yuzhang County, where he had 4,000 households and renamed him Marquis of Haixia according to the name of the place. There were twice as many food, but it was demoted from a prince to a marquis. However, this is also good, in fact, Liu He has also gained benefits, and Emperor Xuan of Han can also be truly assured.
From Shanyang County to Yuzhang County, that is, from present-day Weifang in Shandong to Nanchang in Jiangxi, from north to south across the Yellow River. The real purpose of Emperor Xuan of Han in moving Liu He thousands of miles away was to cut off his network of ties in Shanyang County. Coming to a new place and re-establishing local forces is not an easy task, although Liu He has long since stopped asking about the world.
Adding food to them is a legitimate excuse to migrate. He was given a Haixia County of Yuzhang County, and he was given a title of Marquis of Haixia according to the name of the place, perhaps a little mocking liu he. However, for Liu He, who was once arrogant and indulgent, he did not care what the title was, and it was the most important thing to get the benefits, and he could also reassure Emperor Xuan of Han.
Yangzhou Assassin Shi spied on Liu He
Yuzhang County came under the jurisdiction of yangzhou, and after Liu He moved to Yuzhang Haixia County, life remained peaceful, but Emperor Xuan of Han still did not relax his surveillance of him. A few years later, Shi Ke of Yangzhou made a small report to Emperor Xuan of Han, saying that Liu He had close relations with the former Taishou's pawn Shisun Wanshi. And Liu He also regretted that he did not resist in time when he was deposed.
Sun Wanshi said: "The emperor has added food to you, and if you are not allowed to be a marquis for a long time, you should be crowned as the King of Yuzhang." Liu He said: "It should be like this, but it should not be said." Perhaps the nonsense after drinking, the speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart, Yangzhou Thorn Shi Ke reported this to Emperor Xuan of Han. So Emperor Xuan of Han ordered that it be cut into 3,000 households.
This also shows that Emperor Xuan of Han never let down his guard against him. However, Liu He thought that after a migration and demotion, his own safety had been improved. Therefore, he opened the door to the guests and talked nonsense, so that misfortune came out of his mouth. At this time, Emperor Xuan of Han finally found a suitable reason to cut down his food by 3,000 households at once. As a result, Liu He was depressed and ended.
Write at the end
Emperor Xuan of Han increased Liu He's food migration, although it was publicly stated that he was only given a larger fief, in fact, Liu He could not stay in one place for a long time to manage his power, so that people with bad intentions could take advantage of it. In addition to mocking, the most important thing is to reduce its influence, in fact, the Han Emperor has influence.
The reason why Liu He was deposed, in addition to the power contest of the imperial court, was mainly that he did not pay attention to details, and was impeached by people who caught too many handles. In the series of events in which the Deposed Emperor Liu He of the Han Dynasty moved, increased his number of titles and reduced his titles, and finally cut the throne, it can also be seen that Emperor Xuan of Han handled things with his skill in handling things and attached importance to imperial power, and he achieved the "rule of Zhongxing" because he paid attention to every detail. ”
