There are many emperors in history, and the years when the emperor is going to die must be the most chaotic years, because the emperor's sons and brothers will compete for the throne. But Emperor Liu Heng of Han can be said to be very relaxed, he is still at home to manage his own small country, a huge Easter egg hit his head, it turned out that the capital sent someone to urge him to Gonchang to become the emperor of the Great Han. What happened, wasn't Lü Hou in charge of the DPRK? Isn't there still Zhu Lu after Lü Hou died? They were all wiped out, and there were also younger brothers Liu Chang, nephews Liu Hong and other people, how could it be their turn?
Liu Heng said that he was also very confused, he didn't know what was going on, and he actually traveled thousands of miles to let his unprofitable king go to Chang'an to become emperor, his first thought was whether their heads were broken, and then he thought about whether they were going to pit themselves to death, in short, it was not a good result to think about it. Unable to make up his mind, he made the news public and let his own group of ministers support him. The ministers quarreled endlessly above the court, and as a result, there were two factions, one of which was in favor of going to Chang'an to succeed to the throne, and the other opposed to going to chang'an's trap. Well, after half a day of talking, there was still no result. As soon as Liu Heng's eyes were closed and his heart was crossed, he let his maternal uncle Bo Zhao secretly go to see Zhou Bo and others on the spot, and if the news he got was true, he decided not to go. This mother-in-law's mother-in-law's temperament is also enough, and the uncle came back to tell him, big nephew, you can go, there is no danger in front, you will have a good life in the future.
Liu Heng embarked on the road to Chang'an, all said that the near hometown is more timid, Liu Heng was suddenly afraid when he was about to arrive in Chang'an, he began to doubt this and that, and finally decided to use the old way, first send someone to explore the truth. The pathfinder returned, this time there was still no problem, Liu Heng thought there was no way, they all arrived at the door, didn't they go back? Now the arrow on the string has to be fired! After arriving in the capital, all the way smoothly, smoothly met the ministers, smoothly came to the palace, smoothly inherited the emperor, everything was too smooth. His heart was not steady, and as soon as he entered the palace, he replaced all the people in the palace with the people he brought, otherwise he would not be at ease when he slept. Well, having done all this, he began to reward those who approved of his ascension to the throne and those who had done meritorious service in eliminating ZhuLu. Finally, when the situation was stable, he took his old mother Empress Bo and his wife Dou Yifang to Chang'an, and the family lived in Chang'an.
In the middle of the court, Liu Heng found that the ministers he had been rewarded were too dismissive of themselves, but he did not say it clearly, nor did he show it, and he was trying to solve them. The so-called killing chickens to show the monkeys, he only needs to pick a head bird, so Zhou Bo became Liu Heng's number one target. After Zhou Bo became a chancellor, he became more and more arrogant, and Emperor Wen often watched Zhou Bo's figure go away, thinking of a way to get rid of Zhou Bo.
Since becoming emperor, Liu Heng has lived a very simple life, because when he took over, the Han was really poor, and Liu Heng had the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, diligence and thrift, so it was very simple to lead by example and dress and eat. Liu Heng knew that the people were living a hard life, so he ordered that the people's servitude and taxes be reduced, and also encouraged the construction of waterways, which cleverly resolved the contradictions with the South Vietnamese state. The reign of Liu Heng was the initial stage of the famous "Reign of Wenjing", when the Han Dynasty gradually recovered and became strong under the leadership of Liu Heng, and finally Liu Heng died of illness in 157 BC.
