Emperor Liu Fuling of the Han Dynasty was the youngest son of Emperor Wu of Han. In order to prevent the harem from rebelling after his death, Emperor Wu of Han gave Liu Fuling the death of his mother after making him crown prince. It is said that Liu Fuling's mother was pregnant with him for fourteen months, and because of the ancient legend that Yao was also born in April, Liu Fuling's birth was also regarded as Xiangrui.
Later, Liu Fuling's eldest brother committed suicide because of the incident of Wu Jiao. For a long time afterwards, the Han Dynasty did not have a prince. Liu Fuling was the youngest son of his father, and he was talented and physically strong when he was young. Emperor Wu of Han felt that his son was very similar to his youth, and he loved Liu Fuling very much. Emperor Wu of Han wanted to make this child crown prince, but how could the emperor bring it up himself? Emperor Wu of Han ordered the court painter to draw a picture of The Duke of Zhou and give it to the chancellor. The chancellor understood the emperor's meaning and persuaded the emperor at the imperial court to make Liu Fuling crown prince.
When Liu Fuling was eight years old, his father died, and he ascended the throne as emperor. He was appointed Minister of Korea and China. Due to the emperor's young age, the regents began to fight for power and profit. Among them, the Shangguan family and the Huo family fought the fiercest. Later, the six-year-old daughter of the Shangguan family became Liu Fuling's empress. Liu Fuling was a very accomplished emperor, and he once quelled the civil unrest in the imperial court. The Han Emperor Liu Fuling strengthened the military garrison in the north and quelled the war in the southwest. The Han Emperor Liu Fuling adopted a recuperative measure in the economy, exempting some of the peasants from taxation. The emperor strengthened ties with the Western Regions and improved relations with the Western Regions. Liu Fuling attached great importance to cultural education like his father. Unfortunately, the emperor had a short lifespan and died just over twenty.
How Liu Fuling died has always been an unsolved problem in history. Some people think that the powerful ministers at that time wanted to control the secret of the imperial government and killed the emperor. Liu Fuling succeeded to the throne at a very young age, and many things needed to rely on Huo Guang. Huo Guang was an auxiliary chancellor chosen by Emperor Wu of Han for his son. Huo Guang enjoyed the benefits of power, and his ambitions gradually increased. When the emperor reached the age of pro-government, Huo Guang did not delegate power. Huo Guang often interfered with the emperor, not only controlling the emperor's words and deeds, but even the affairs of male and female love. Empress Liu Fuling was Huo Guang's granddaughter, and in order to allow the empress to give birth to the crown prince as soon as possible, she forced the emperor to stay in the empress's palace overnight. In order to prevent other women from descending the dragon, Huo Guang let the palace ladies in the harem tie a lot of ribbons. Liu Fuling had always been suppressed by Huo Guang, and his life was life lifeless. Over time, Liu Fuling finally fell ill. Liu Fuling's physical problems are recorded in historical records. In the Book of Han, it is recorded that Huo Guang let the empress be pampered, and the emperor was a little ill-healthed, and sometimes he would order a doctor. At this time the Emperor was eighteen years old. Three years later, the biography of Du Zhou in the Hanshu recorded that the emperor's condition was getting worse and worse, and the famous doctors who asked the world did not get better. Liu Fuling eventually contracted an illness and died because of the oppression of his courtiers. Emperor Han Zhao died a very unjust death. Now I know how Liu Fuling died.
