There are more than 400 emperors in the history of our country, but there are no ones as miserable as him! He was the Han Yuan Emperor Liu Yi (shì).
In 49 BC, the Han Yuan Emperor Liu Yi had just succeeded to the throne and made all kinds of troubles, not only stabbing all three auxiliary ministers to death, but also destroying the Temple.
Emperor Liu Yi of the Han Dynasty seemed to have had bad luck as emperor, "afraid of the ring of heaven and earth, and did not know the reason", that is, in the year of his reign, first earthquakes, then epidemics, and then the eleven places in the Kwantung County, there was a big flood, the famine was serious, and people couldnibalize each other. Thus began the sixteen years of natural and man-made disasters during his reign.
In the 2nd year of the reign of Emperor Liu Yi of the Han Dynasty, the 3rd year of earthquake, the 4th year of drought, the 5th year of comet crashing, the 6th year of famine, the 7th year of snow disaster, the 8th year of eclipse, the 9th year of earthquake, the 10th year of the Yellow River embankment, the 11th year of flood, the 12th and 13th year earthquake, the 14th year locust plague, the 15th year earthquake, the 16th year of death. He reigned for 16 years, and there were disasters every year.
A sentence made by Liu Yi before the death of a favored concubine almost cut off the children and grandchildren of the Western Han royal family.
When Liu Yi was still the crown prince, his favorite concubine Sima Liangdi died of illness, which caused him a heavy mental blow. "Liangdi" is the title of the crown prince's concubine in ancient times. Before his death, Sima Liangdi choked up and told Liu Yi that he had died under the curse of a concubine who could not be favored by the crown prince. Liu Yi was convinced of Sima Liangdi's words, so he turned away all his wives and concubines.
In order to rejuvenate his son and extend his heirs, Emperor Xuan of Han asked the empress to help select five palace girls to send to the prince, and Liu Yi had no intention of admiring the beautiful women, so he left a palace maid at random, named Wang Zhengjun. When the empress learned of this, she was overjoyed and immediately sent Wang Zhengjun to the womb. The following year, Wang Zhengjun gave birth to Emperor Huan's grandson, and Emperor Xuan of Han named him Liu Xiao. The horse is a kind of thousand-mile horse, which shows that Emperor Xuan of Han had high hopes for this emperor. This Liu Xiao was also the later Emperor Cheng of Han.
Moreover, the life of Emperor Liu Yi of the Han Dynasty was saved by his own concubine. Once in the tiger circle with the concubines to watch the beast performance, but in the course of the performance, there was an accident, a bear ran out of the circle with lightning speed, and pounced on the Han Yuan Emperor, at this time the concubines next to them were dumbfounded, panicked and fled, including the empress Wang Zhengjun. At this time, only Feng Jieyu Feng Yuan alone stood in front of emperor Yuan of Han, fortunately, the left and right guards killed the bear in time, and a thrilling drama ended.
In short, The Han Yuan Emperor was probably the emperor who suffered the most disasters during his reign, and the main record of him in the Book of Han, in addition to the disasters, was his repeated destruction of the ancestral mausoleum temple. Ban Gu commented that he was "constantly traveling well", causing "the decline of filial piety", and the Western Han Dynasty also went into decline...
