Emperor Hui of Han was the son of Liu Bang and Empress Lü, and after Liu Bang's death, he passed the throne to him. Liu Bang had a total of eight sons, one of whom was the later Emperor Wen of Han, Liu Heng.
Liu Heng was the fourth son of Liu Bang.
It is reasonable to say that Liu Bang's throne passed to Liu Ying, the Emperor of Han Hui, and the throne should be passed on to his side, but why did Emperor Hui of Han not pass on his son as emperor, but to his younger brother Liu Heng?
Speaking of which, I have to say That Lu Hou.
Lü Hou was the mother of Emperor Hui of Han, and because Empress Lü was relatively strong, Emperor Hui of Han deserved to be very sacky, especially after Lü Hou killed Lady Qi and let Emperor Hui of Han come to see.
Because Lü Hou made Lady Qi a human figure, Lady Qi died a miserable death. When Emperor Hui of Han saw Lady Qi's misery, he was frightened and sick, and this illness was nearly a year.
When Emperor Hui of Han's illness was cured, he no longer paid attention to the government. At this time, he seems to have seen through life and feels that people should be happy in time when they are alive.
Therefore, he indulged in singing and drinking all day long, and mixed with beautiful women every day. Eventually, at the age of 24, he died prematurely.
Before Emperor Hui of Han died, he already had six sons.
At this time, he passed the throne to his son, of course, even if it was passed to his son, he was also a puppet emperor.
After all, his son was very young, and the oldest was only five or six years old.
After Emperor Hui of Han's death, it was his eldest son Liu Gong who became emperor.
However, when this Liu Gong was emperor, he knew that his mother had been executed by Empress Lü. Then, he said why Did Empress Lü execute my mother, and when I grew up, I would kill all those with the surname Lü.
This matter reached Lü Hou's ears, and Lü Hou felt that this Liu Gong could not stay, and could not raise tigers for trouble. Lü Hou then killed Liu Gong, and after killing Liu Gong, she told the chancellor that the child was sick and wanted to make a new emperor.
The ministers knew what was going on, but they didn't dare to offend Lü Hou and didn't say anything.
Liu Gong, who was killed, was the former Young Emperor in history.
After the death of the former Shao Emperor, his younger brother succeeded to the throne, which was also succeeded by the historical Later Shao Emperor. Emperor Hou Shao was still relatively honest, and Lü Hou at least did not kill him.
However, when he was emperor, Lü Hou suppressed the descendants of the imperial family surnamed Liu. Liu Bang's eight sons, it can be said that five of them died, all of which were related to Lü Hou.
Before Lü Hou's death, Liu Bang's sons were left with liu heng and liu chang, the fourth son of the emperor. After Lü Hou's death, Liu Bang's grandsons stopped doing so.
When Lü Hou was there, they did not dare to say anything, because Lü Hou's prestige was here? Lü Hou died, and Liu Bang's grandsons did not care.
At this time, Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, was about to raise an army in the state of Qi, and he was going to kill the capital and kill all the people with the surname Lü, so that the people of the Liu family could take charge of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Xiang, the King of Qi, was a fierce man, and he must have been able to say and do it.
When the heroes saw that Liu Xiang was going to attack the capital, they began to consider taking sides. Is it to help the surname Lu? Or help Liu Xiang?
In the end, they felt that the surname Lü could not fight Liu Bang's grandson. Therefore, he chose to unite with Liu Xiang and kill the surname Lü together.
In the end, it was the heroes led by the chancellor Chen Ping and the lieutenant Zhou Bo, who killed the representatives of the Lü family, Lü Lu and Lü Chan, and then destroyed the Lü family's clan.
At this time, the Lü family was destroyed, but there was also an emperor in the palace.
The emperor was Emperor Hui of Han's son, Emperor Hou Shao. However, after all, this young emperor was too young, and there was no point in keeping such a puppet emperor.
At the very least, the ministers have meritorious service, and he will not reward the ministers.
At this time, the ministers thought that they must establish an older emperor, and finally considered it, thinking that the emperor could not let Liu Xiangdang because he was too fierce. If he were emperor, the ministers would be angry. Nor can we let Liu Bang's other grandsons be, these people are not easy to mess with.
In the end, they chose Liu Heng.
Because they felt that Liu Heng was more honest, liu Heng never said a word when Lü Hou suppressed Liu Bang's royal descendants, even if Lü Hou died, Liu Bang's grandson wanted to kill Lü, Liu Heng did not express any opinion.
Therefore, the minister felt that this Liu Heng was an honest person. Therefore, he was chosen to be emperor, and since Liu Heng had been made emperor, then several sons of Emperor Hui of Han must be eliminated.
Therefore, it was equivalent to the meritorious faction also killing all the sons of Liu Ying, the Emperor of Han Hui, so Liu Heng became the emperor of the Great Han.
Therefore, it was not Emperor Hui of Han who directly passed the throne to Liu Heng, but the ministers who chose him to be emperor.
