The emperor is a supreme power, how many people have fought for that dragon chair all their lives, and there are many ways to ascend to the throne.
There is Zhu Yuanzhang, who started with a bowl, there is the First Emperor of Yu Lie, who is the sixth emperor of Fen, and there is Tang Taizong who has changed the throne of Xuanwumen...
But today the emperor had a more difficult start than the one above, and was imprisoned at birth.
He was Emperor Xuan of Han, Liu Qing

In 91 BC (the second year of Showa), Liu Qing was born, but he did not have a good time to be born, because the plague of witchcraft that shocked the government and the opposition broke out, and Emperor Wu of Han ordered Jiang Chong to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Because Jiang Chong and the crown prince Liu Zhao had a deep festival, they began to use this storm to frame Liu Zhao.
Liu saw that the situation was not good, and remembered that the soldiers were self-protective, but in the end they failed, and the prince's family was basically destroyed.
The crown prince's son Liu Jin did not follow the prince to take care of the young Liu Xiang, but Liu Xiang was also imprisoned, becoming the only emperor in Chinese history who actually went to prison.
After the plague of witchcraft broke out, Emperor Wu ordered Ting Wei Ji to pursue the case. Feng Ji understands that the prince's faction has been wronged, so he takes good care of this poor little guy.
Without Feng Ji, there would be no Xuan Emperor
In 87 BC, Emperor Wu was seriously ill, and the forgetful people said that Chang'an Prison had the qi of the Son of Heaven. Emperor Wu felt that this had suppressed his luck, so he was furious and ordered Guo Yong to kill all the prisoners in the Twenty-Six Officials Prison of Chang'an, regardless of their crimes.
Guo Yong came to Bingji's official prison overnight, and Bingji closed the door to make a grievance for the emperor. Seeing that Bing Ji had a resolute attitude, he had to go back to report to Emperor Wu, and Emperor Wu heard that there was still an Emperor's grandson in the world, and some of them realized that they were amnesty for the world.
A few days later, Emperor Wu died and the new emperor ascended the throne. Liu Was sent to the Imperial Court to order Zhang He's mansion. Since he was once a subordinate of the crown prince, he took great care of Liu Qian. Not only did he take care of his food and living, but he also told him to study.

At this time, the Great Han was governed by Huo Guang's assistance to Emperor Xuan of Han, but unfortunately, Emperor Zhao of Han died young and died at the age of only 22. Since Emperor Zhao had no heirs, he could only choose another emperor. At first, it was Liu He who succeeded to the throne, but unfortunately Liu He was absurd and unscrupulous, and he was deposed by Huo Guang after only being emperor for more than twenty days.

So Liu Que in the corner was remembered, and Huo Guang decided to let Liu Que ascend the throne and become Emperor Xuan of Han. Since Emperor Xuan married Xu Pingjun as his wife during his reign, Liu Que wanted to make her empress.
However, Huo Guang, as an old minister of the Three Dynasties, had power in the opposition. Both the ministers and the empress dowager suggested that Li Huo chengjun be made empress.
However, Liu Que could not forget his wife, and he issued an edict of "Finding the Sword of the Past", asking to find a sword when he fell. At this moment, the courtiers all understood the twists and turns here, and they all saw the wind and turned the rudder, and jointly asked Xu Pingjun to be the queen.
Huo Guang's wife hated Xu Pingjun because her daughter did not become empress, and she secretly poisoned Xu Pingjun when Xu Pingjun was pregnant, and Emperor Xuan was very sad, posthumously named her "Empress Gong mourning" and buried her in Duling South Garden.
Due to Huo Guang's suppression, Liu Qing could only bear with it and had to marry Huo Chengjun as his wife. Huo Chengjun was arrogant and profligate, but Liu Qian pretended to be obedient to her, and Huo Chengjun did not have a single heir left.
This experience was a pain for Liu Que, and it was also a microcosm of Liu Que's political limitations at that time.

In 68 BC, Huo Guang died. Although Huo Guang controlled the government and abolished the monarch without authorization, he covered the sky with one hand. However, Emperor Xuan still believed that Huo Guang was credited, and he stabilized the chaotic situation after Emperor Wu and did not openly rebel. So a huge funeral was held for him.
In 67 BC, Emperor Xuan of Han made Xu Pingjun's father Xu Guanghan the Marquis of Ping'en, and Liu Yi, who was born with Xu Pingjun, as crown prince.
Huo Guang's wife Huo Xian, dissatisfied with this, believed that this was an authority to provoke her daughter, and she asked Huo Chengjun to find an opportunity to poison the prince. However, the prince's teacher would try the poison before each meal, so he did not have a chance to succeed.
In July 66 BC, the Huo family staged a failed coup d'état, which allowed Liu To find an opportunity to punish the Huo family in its entirety.
Huo Guang's sons Huo Yu and Huo Yun, nephew Huo Shan, and wife Huo Xian were all killed or committed suicide. In August, Emperor Xuan of Han deposed Huo Chengjun, and Huo Chengjun committed suicide. Since then, Liu Xiang has also been a great revenge.

Civil policy
Because of Liu Yuan's tragic experience in his childhood, he has lived in the folk for a long time, so he knows the people's ill life very well.
He appointed meritocracy to lighten the burden on the people and to restore and develop agricultural production. He believed that the way to govern the country should be based on "hegemony" and "royal way" and opposed full-time Confucianism. After Huo Guang's death, in order to maintain the normal exercise of the law, he set up a royal history to review the severity of the sentence of the court lieutenant. A set of appraisals, rewards, and punishments for officials have been established, and those who do not do well will be rewarded, and those who do not do well will be severely punished.
Therefore, a large number of outstanding officials gradually formed, so that politics gradually became clear. It can be said that Emperor Xuan's officials at the bottom of ZTE were indispensable.
At the same time, during the reign of Emperor Xuan, many measures were taken to curb land annexation and reduce the high price of salt. When the market price of grain is low, the state buys it at the normal price and sells it at a parity price after the disaster.
Emperor Xuan's various policies soon led to a scene of political clarity, social harmony, and economic prosperity throughout the country. Let the economy of the Han Dynasty achieve unprecedented prosperity
In terms of martial arts
In 72 BC, the Han Dynasty sent more than 160,000 iron horses to attack the Xiongnu in five ways, which was the largest foreign cavalry expedition of the two Han Dynasties in 400 years, which showed how powerful the Han army was at that time. At the same time, he united with 50,000 cavalry of Wusun to attack the Xiongnu, and defeated the Xiongnu so that the Xiongnu fled westward.
Later, the Xiongnu split internally, and Hu Han surrendered to the Han with tens of thousands of people, a nomadic people who had been fighting with the Han Empire for more than 140 years, and finally bowed their heads.
Hu Han went to the imperial capital Chang'an in person, said "Long live" to Emperor Xuan of Han, and submitted to him. The most domineering "Dinghu Monument" in the history of the Han chinese was erected at this time, and the inscription reads: "Where the sun and the moon shine, and the rivers go, they are all Han soil."
Let the border gradually stabilize. In 61 BC, he defeated the Western Qiang and ordered Zhao Chongguo to implement Tuntian and strengthen the border defense, which made the Qiang people begin to submit.

Since the Western Regions had always been the second battlefield of the Han-Hungarian War, with the decline of the Xiongnu power, the influence of the Han Empire on the Western Regions was greatly strengthened. Several times sent troops to attack some countries in the western region that betrayed the Great Han, which greatly shocked the countries in the western region, which meant that the great Han could strike any country in the western region at any time.
Han soldiers are coming, don't dare to move, move, and destroy the country!
Those who commit crimes against the strong will be punished from afar
In 60 BC, at Wulei City (northeast of present-day Luntai, Xinjiang), the Western Regions Capital Protectorate was established. Since then, the vast land north and south of the Tianshan Mountains has officially belonged to the Western Han Dynasty.

Due to the shadow of his childhood, Liu Yi showed a fascination with Confucianism from an early age, and made many exhortations to his father, who had a strong personality.
This made Liu Qian,who liked the "Way of The King's Hegemony", very dissatisfied with this son. However, Liu Qian never abolished the cowardly and gentle Liu Yi.
There is naturally a factor in This is Xu Pingjun, who has always felt sorry for his wife of chaff and chaff. On the other hand, he knew the influence of the deposed prince, and he did not want to repeat the turmoil of the Han Empire.
Under comprehensive consideration, Emperor Xuan did not choose to depose the prince, but also said a sigh of "those who mess with my family, the prince also". And this sentence really made Liu Qian say it right.
In December of the first year of Huang Long's reign (48 BC), Liu Que died of illness at Weiyang Palace at the age of 43.
He was subsequently buried in Duling with the courtesy name Emperor Xiaoxuan and the temple number Zhongzong.
