Emperor Wen of Han was the fifth emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, who was initially named the acting king, and recuperated in the fiefdom for fifteen years, and governed in an orderly manner.
So, how was Emperor Wen Liu Heng promoted to be the emperor?
This has to start with the dictatorship of Empress Lu, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty died young, the court and the Lu relatives were autocratic, and the court was in a miasma.
At this time, a virtuous Ming Jun was very needed to set things right, and the young emperor Liu Hong was young, and he became the emperor with the support of Empress Lu, and his name was not right.
So, Taiwei Zhou Bo and Prime Minister Chen Ping wanted to find a master to govern the world.
And Emperor Wen Liu Heng is steady, cautious, long-term and unique. His mother, Mrs. Bo, was also very helpful to him, carefully teaching him that the governance of the country should be gradual and orderly, and that he should not be happy with his achievements, and he would never waste his personal interests for the sake of public affairs.
It was precisely because Liu Heng had the talent and foresight of the emperor that he was seen by Zhou Bo and them, and later Liu Heng entered Beijing, and Zhou Bo and others wanted to support him as the emperor.
As soon as Empress Lu died, the relatives of the Lu family had no pillars, and Zhou Bo and his ministers killed Empress Lu's henchmen, deposed the young emperor, and supported Liu Heng, the acting king, to become the emperor.
After Emperor Wen ascended the throne, he first consolidated his position, stabilized the ministers who supported him, accumulated strength, and successfully seized real power. After that, he worked hard to build water conservancy, so that the Han Dynasty entered a period of prosperity and stability.
