He was the sixth son of Liu Qi, the Emperor of Han Jing, and the most unfavored prince of the Western Han Dynasty, but he lived a comfortable life, enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and finally died well, this person was Liu Fa, the king of Changsha. Today we will talk about the life story of Liu Fa, interested readers and interesting history editors let's take a look at it!
Liu Fa's birth mother was a maid with a humble status. Liu Fa's birth can be said to be an accident, when his father Emperor Jing was drunk and ready to meet Cheng Ji, but Cheng Ji did not want to serve at the time of the month, so she dressed up her maid Tang Er and ordered her to serve the emperor at night. Emperor Jing was drunk and thought that the maid was Cheng Ji, so he blessed her, but he did not expect that Tang Ji became pregnant and gave birth to Liu Fa, the king of Changsha.
Although Liu Fa was named the King of Changsha, because his mother Tang Ji was born lowly and could not be favored, even Liu Fa was snubbed by the Han Jing Emperor, and was even sealed as king in a low-humid and poor country, which was smaller than other feudal kings.
Liu Fa was not favored, but he was very clever. On the occasion of Emperor Jing's birthday, Liu Fa returned to Chang'an to wish Emperor Jing of Han a happy birthday, and during the banquet he got up and danced, "but the sleeves were small and raised his hands", and everyone present laughed at his clumsy hands and feet, but Emperor Jing felt strange, so he asked him why, Liu Fa replied: "The country is small and narrow, and there is not enough to maneuver." After Emperor Jing heard this, he immediately assigned the three places of Wuling County, Lingling County, and Guiyang County to the jurisdiction of the State of Changsha. After all, it is the emperor's relatives and nobles, and they can't always be too shabby and ridiculed, so humiliating is also the face of emperor Jingdi of Han.
Liu Fa reigned for 27 years, although he was not favored, he also lived comfortably, and from the number of his heirs, it can be seen that there are 16 sons, more than his father's heirs.
