Liu Fuling ascended the throne as a teenager, and under the auxiliary government of Huo Guang, he controlled the contradictions left over from the later period of Emperor Wu and reversed the decline trend of the Western Han Dynasty, and the ministers and the people all admired Liu Fuling's young and wise. But Liu Fuling, as a genius, also doomed his fate, and died of illness at the age of twenty-one. Did Liu Fuling have a son to become emperor for him? Who was the emperor after Liu Fuling? Let's take a look.
Which son of Liu Fuling became emperor
It should be known that Liu Fuling did not leave any heirs before his death. Huo Guang held the power of the imperial government as a courtier, and at the same time, in order to consolidate his power, he married his granddaughter Shangguan Xiaomei, who was only six years old, to Liu Fuling.
Later, in order to allow Empress Shangguan to gain exclusive favor and increase the chance of pregnancy, Huo Guang did not allow harem concubines to enter the palace, and ordered the palace women to wear "poor silk" to prevent Emperor Zhao from having an affair with the palace women. However, Liu Fuling's deteriorating health did not allow Empress Shangguan to conceive a child, and she could not leave a bloodline until her death. Therefore, Liu Fuling did not have a son to become emperor after his death.
Who was the emperor after Liu Fuling
In 74 BC, The Han Zhao Emperor Liu Fuling died of illness, and his successor to the throne was his nephew Liu He, known as the Deposed Emperor of Han.
Liu He was the son of Liu Qi, the fifth son of Emperor Wu of Han, and after his father's death, Liu He succeeded to the throne as King of Changyi. Because Emperor Zhao, who was only twenty-one years old, died without any heirs, Huo Guang, who had already reached the rank of grand general of sima and sima ( ) , asked his nephew Liu He to come and mourn for him. In the same year, Liu He was proclaimed to succeed to the throne and counted as Emperor Zhao's stepson.
After Liu He succeeded to the throne, he was absurd and unscrupulous, and constantly ordered people to accumulate wealth, with a recorded total of 1120 times. Because Liu He did not listen to the advice of his ministers, he finally reigned for only twenty-seven days before he was deposed by Huo Guang and Empress Shangguan, becoming the shortest-reigning emperor in the history of the Western Han Dynasty. The next emperor to depose the emperor was Liu Qing, the Emperor Xuan of Han.
Liu Qian, whose original name was Liu Yiji, was a great-grandson of Emperor Wu of Han, and his grandfather was the crown prince Liu Zhao, who committed suicide in the scourge of the Witches. Implicated by his grandfather Liu Zhao, Liu Yuan, who was still in his infancy at the time, also lived in the folk for a long time after being imprisoned. Although the experience of the people was arduous, it also allowed him to personally understand the sufferings of the people, which had a great impact on his later rule and governance. After Liu He was deposed, with the support of Huo Guang and other ministers, the seventeen-year-old Liu Huan returned to the imperial palace, first as the Marquis of Yangwu, and soon became emperor. In 49 BC, Liu Qing, who had reigned for twenty-five years, died of illness and was given the title of Emperor Xiaoxuan.
