China has experienced two thousand years of feudal imperialism, more than a dozen dynasties, and more than four hundred emperors. Generally speaking, the fate of the last emperor is very tragic, either the king dies and is martyred, or he is reduced to a prisoner of the order, and finally depressed. However, there are special cases in everything, and in history, some of the kings of the fallen countries have neither been martyred nor reduced to prisoners of the order, and even the treatment is quite good, and they live in peace and security in their old age.
Speaking of these "lucky ones", first of all, the first is Liu Xie, the Emperor of Han Xian. Liu Xie can be said to have had no good life since he succeeded to the throne, and he was basically a puppet emperor without any real power. In the end, the Great Han Jiangshan also officially ended in his hands. However, after retiring from the throne, he instead got an unprecedented comfortable life. Cao Pi, in order to be justified, made it a zen set, saying that the empress dowager made Liu Chan the Duke of Shanyang County, retaining the etiquette of the Son of Heaven, although he lost the world, but in the end he was able to die, which was also a good destination.
The second is Liu Chan, the Emperor of Han Huai, although not the emperor of the Great Unification Dynasty, but the size is also a figure, in today's Internet age, some people even push him as an emperor with unparalleled wisdom. When Deng Ai smuggled into Yinping and his soldiers approached the city, Liu Chan chose to surrender without a fight, and although he was placed under house arrest in Xuchang, he was given the title of Duke of Anle, eating well, drinking and entertaining. He was treated even better than Sun Hao, the later descended Wu lord, after all, Sun Hao was only later made a marquis, but in terms of title, he was one level lower than Liu Chan.
The third was the Wei Yuan Emperor Cao Huan, whose circumstances were somewhat similar to Liu Xie's, named Chan Rang, but were forced to abdicate. After Sima Yan usurped Cao Wei's power, he made Cao Liu the Prince of Chen. To a good death.
In addition, there were Chen Shubao, the lord of Chen Hou, Chai Zongxun, the Emperor of Zhou Gong, and Liu Jiyuan, the last emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, who all received good treatment after "abdicating the throne and giving way to Xian". In particular, the Zhou Gong Emperor Chai Zongxun, Zhao Kuangyin Chen Qiao mutiny, yellow robes, successfully stole the fruits of Northern Zhou's victory, of course, he finally claimed that the emperor also used the "Zen Concession" routine, sealed Chai Zongxun as King Zheng, and gave "Danshu Iron Coupon". From this, it can be seen that the former emperors who retired through "Zen Concession" would not be too bad as long as they did not die.
So which of these fallen kings do you think has the best ending?
