The Han Dynasty is the second feudal system empire in China's history, there are many well-known emperors, but also created a lot of prosperous times, famous emperors are Han Gaozu Liu Bang, Han Wu Emperor Liu Che, etc. are rare excellent emperors in history, but also created the rule of Wenjing and the rule of Ming Zhang, etc. The emperor that Xiaobian told today is the Han Ming Emperor in the rule of Ming Zhang - Liu Zhuang.
Liu Zhuang was the second emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the fourth son of The Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, the mother was a famous beauty in Chinese history, Yin Lihua was also Liu Xiu's favorite woman, Liu Xiu also lamented that "Shi Eunuch as a Jinwu, marry a wife should marry Yin Lihua", it can be seen that Liu Xiu's love for Yin Lihua, of course, Liu Zhuang also received the benefit of his mother being loved by the emperor, Liu Zhuang is also Liu Xiu's favorite son.
Liu Zhuang was not proud of his parents' love, but devoted himself to learning, but also very smart, at the age of ten he was familiar with "Spring and Autumn" (equivalent to our modern university knowledge, when we were ten years old, we were still playing with mud, liu Zhuang had already gone to college, really a genius).
When Liu Zhuang was 12 years old, he was already able to follow his father Liu Xiushang to the early dynasty, and he could still give advice, and it is said that once an official in charge of land inspection reported on the work: "Yingchuan and Hongnong can ask, but Henan and Nanyang cannot ask." Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu did not understand his meaning, and asked Chen Liu what he meant, and Chen Liu also said that he did not know, at this time Liu Zhuang told Liu Xiu that this was the county official teaching Chen Liu how to check the land.
Liu Xiu continued to ask what was going on, and Liu Zhuang said: Henan is the seat of the imperial capital, Nanyang is the former residence of the emperor, and both are the emperor's close places, and there must be something disgraceful in the meantime, but the officials cannot afford to offend the imperial family, so they can only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and do not go to scrutiny. Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu suddenly realized that he felt more and more that his son was smart and clear, and he liked his son even more.
When Liu Zhuang was 16 years old, when Liu Xiu went to fight against Shan Chen and other rebels, Shan Chen and others could not get out of the city, and for a time emperor Guangwu had no way, and Emperor Guangwu asked for help from the chancellor, and for a while he was also silent, at this time Liu Zhuang appeared again, and gave Liu Xiu an idea: When we besiege the city, we should not be too strict, or the chaotic ministers and thieves will not dare to go out of the city, let's lay a looser siege of the city, let the chaotic ministers and thieves think that there is a gap to take advantage of, they scatter and flee, we can eliminate them one by one.
After hearing this, the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu agreed very much and adopted Liu Zhuang's method, and indeed easily broke through the rebel army and won a great victory. After this incident, Emperor Guangwu was very happy and made Liu Zhuang crown prince. Twenty years later, Liu Zhuang successfully ascended the throne, and together with his son Liu Ju of Han Zhang, established a rich and powerful Taiping Dynasty, known in history as the rule of Ming Zhang.
