Emperor Xuan of Han, Liu Qian, was a commoner emperor of the Han Dynasty and a famous sage in Chinese history. He took the throne at a young age, and in the first 6 years, under the administration of Huo Guang, the first assistant and the powerful minister, he gradually grew up, Taoguang cultivated obscurity, and the Han Dynasty continued to develop; in the last 19 years, the Han Dynasty made outstanding contributions to the "Zhaoxuan Zhongxing". It was under his rule that the Han Dynasty ended more than 150 years of the Han-Hungarian War, and Liu Que left a rich history.
Emperor Xuan of Han (stills)
Liu Qing (91 BC – 49 BC), nicknamed Liu Yiji, great-grandfather was Emperor Wu of Han, his grandfather was Liu Zhao, the crown prince, and his father was Liu Jin. His family background is prominent, why is he said to be a commoner emperor? He was not only a commoner emperor, but also an emperor who had been imprisoned! This has to start from the "curse of deception" during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of Han was old, deeply believed in superstition, and always felt that someone wanted to harm him. Once dreamed, he dreamed that he was chased and beaten by countless Kirito people. When he woke up, he sent someone to interpret the dream. The favored minister Jiang Yun took the opportunity to flatter, saying that this was the emperor's side of the people who wanted to harm the emperor. Emperor Wu of Han was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. Jiang Yun led people to search the Empress Wei Zifu Pepper Room Hall first, and then turned over the Prince's East Palace, and as a result, a Kirito puppet was found under the East Palace, which was wrapped in yellow drapery and pierced with countless needle holes. Who would have thought that this was a trap set by Jiang Yun and Huang men Suwen, because they were at odds with the crown prince Liu Zhao. Liu Zhi could not make himself clear, and in a hurry, he killed Jiang Yun and others and raised an army "on the side of the Qing Emperor". Emperor Wu of Han concluded that the crown prince was plotting rebellion and sent troops to suppress it. Liu Committed suicide in defeat. A generation of honored guards committed suicide in the Pepper Room Hall. This is the "scourge of deception" of the major historical event that occurred in the Western Han Dynasty. There were other people in the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace and the Wei Zifu family, and more than 30,000 people died implicated in this. The only survivor of the Eastern Palace was Liu Qing in his infancy. He was taken to the county jail. He was supposed to be executed, but fortunately the prison official Feng Ji risked his life to rescue him, and when Emperor Wu of Han gave him a general amnesty for the whole prison, Liu Que was taken to the court by Feng Ji. In Ye Ting, he spent a long and slow civilian life. It was also in the Court of Ye that Liu Que married Xu Pingjun, the daughter of a commoner. In the first year of Yuan Ping (74 BC), under the impetus of the powerful minister Huo Guang, Liu Qing was proclaimed emperor, that is, Emperor Xuan of Han.
At the beginning of his reign, Liu Qing grew up under the wings of the powerful minister Huo Guang, taoguang cultivated obscurity, and concealed his strength. After Empress Xu Pingjun was killed by Huo Guang's wife Zhang Xian, Liu Qing had to marry Huo Guang's daughter Huo Chengjun and make her empress. After Huo Guang's death, Liu Guang was pro-government and buried Huo Guang with the title of "Xuancheng". Two years later, the Huo family rebelled, and Liu Qian was quickly destroyed and began to show his imperial style.
Under Huo Guang's rule, the Han Dynasty continued the beautiful situation created by the Han Zhao Emperor and developed steadily. After Emperor Xuan asked for favoritism, he exerted great efforts to govern, rectify the rule of officials, punish corruption, develop the economy, and establish the Han family system, and the Han Dynasty ushered in an era of political communication and people, the country was rich and the people were strong, which was called "Zhaoxuan Zhongxing" together with the early Han Zhao Emperor era.
(Power Minister Huo Guang)
Emperor Xuan of Han was a bit like his great-grandfather Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Wu of Han, who was brilliant and far-sighted. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty vowed to change the humiliating "policy of peace and pro-Xiongnu", poured all his strength into resisting the Xiongnu, hoping to solve the tranquility of the northern border once and for all, thus launching the Han-Hungarian War that lasted for forty years, although it won an overwhelming victory, seriously injured the Xiongnu, and the territory of the Han Dynasty expanded from then on, but there was also a decadent image of labor and wealth and empty treasury. After Emperor Wu of Han, it was not until Emperor Zhao of Han that the Han Dynasty really recovered. However, although the Xiongnu were defeated and fled to the north of the desert, they did not die out, and still posed a serious threat to the Han. In the northwest of the Han Dynasty, there was a Wusun state, which had long been friendly with the Han, but was always invaded by its neighboring Xiongnu. At the beginning of the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han, the Xiongnu united with the Cheshi state to attack Wusun in an attempt to destroy the Han Dynasty's allies in the western regions. Wusun Guo hurriedly sent emissaries to the Han Dynasty for help, and when Emperor Xuan of Han heard the news, he felt that the opportunity to completely defeat the Xiongnu had come. In the second year of the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han (72 BC), the Han Dynasty sent more than 160,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Xiongnu in five ways, which was the largest foreign cavalry expedition in the entire Han Dynasty in 400 years. At the same time, Emperor Xuan of Han sent Chang Hui to Wusun to command more than 50,000 Wusun cavalry, advancing with the Han army from east to west to encircle and annihilate the Xiongnu. Under Emperor Xuan of Han, there was a Huo to be sick, he was Zheng Ji. He attacked from the frontal battlefield. The war lasted for nearly three years, during which time Ding Zero, Wu Huan and other countries also joined the coalition army. In 69 BC, the Huns were defeated and lost large tracts of land. Emperor Wu of Han had defeated the mighty Xiongnu Empire, and now Emperor Xuan of Han, Liu Qing, had torn the remaining Xiongnu state apart and the state would cease to exist. The vast area north and south of the Tianshan Mountains belonged to the central government of the Western Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of Han's plan to send Zhang Qian to join forces with Wusun to "cut off the xiongnu's right arm" lasted for half a century and was finally successful during the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han.
(Scenes of the Han-Hungarian War)
Emperor Xuan of Han took advantage of the victory to pursue. In the second year of Shenjue (60 BC), the Xiongnu Emperor Xianxian Shan, who ruled the Western Regions, broke with the new Shan Yu and came with tens of thousands of people to surrender to the Han Dynasty. King Rizhao was given the title of Marquis of Guide by the Han Dynasty. In the third year of Ganlu (51 BC), Hu Han was personally sent to the imperial capital Chang'an, and submitted to the Han Dynasty as a vassal of the Northern Domain. So far, since Liu Bang, the war between Han and Hungary for more than 150 years has finally ended in the comprehensive victory of the Han Dynasty. The surrender of the Xiongnu also led to the Surrender of the Xiongnu in the Western Regions to the Han Dynasty. Zheng Ji then set up a shogunate in the center of the Western Regions, built wulei castle, and commanded the setting of the western region capital protection, marking the consolidation of the expanded territory of the Han Dynasty by setting up a government. This is not only the Han Dynasty, but also an epoch-making event in the history of China. Emperor Xuan of Han single-handedly ended the More than 150-year-long Han-Hungarian War, and the annals of history are recorded. @Toutiao History @Toutiao Culture Channel @Toutiao Book Club @Meiwen
