Liu Heng, the Emperor of HanHeng, was his acting king in Dai County, and he did not expect to suddenly become emperor himself

Liu Heng, the Emperor of HanHeng, this famous emperor in history, from his birth to the future emperor, his life is full of legends! Everything seemed to be predestined, originally in the remote Dai County, to be his acting king, but one day, he never dreamed that the emperor's throne suddenly fell to his head!

Liu Heng's father was Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao. Liu Bang had eight sons, of whom Emperor Hui's Liu Ying was born to his wife Lü Hou. After Liu Bang's death, Lü Hou had monopoly power, and four sons were killed one after another, and the eldest son Liu Fei escaped the disaster after showing weakness and currying favor with Lü in order to protect himself. By the time Lü Hou died of illness, of Liu Bang's sons, only Liu Chang the Prince of Huainan and Liu Heng the Acting King were still alive. They were also fortune tellers and were not suspected of being killed.

Liu Heng was the lowest among Liu Bang's sons, which was related to the fact that her mother Bo Ji was not favored.

Speaking of Liu Heng's birth, it is also quite legendary. Before Liu Heng was born, his mother Bo Ji (said to be from Suzhou) was originally a concubine of the Wei king Leopard, because the Wei king leopard rebelled, and Liu Bang led the army to personally march and quell the Wei rebellion. Liu Bang captured all the palace daughters of the Wei king Leopard to Xingyang and made these palace women Shaobu. One day, Liu Bang wandered to the weaving room, and occasionally saw that Bo's posture was a little, so he took Bo's into the harem, but then forgot about her because of the war. Until a year later, Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, drank and had fun with Guan and Zhao, and these two beauties told Liu Bang about the Bo clan. It turned out that these two beauties had a very good relationship with the Bo clan, and once met "rich and noble and do not forget each other". At this time, it was told to Liu Bang as a joke. Who knew that Liu Bang actually moved his heart to hide when he heard it, and summoned Bo Shi that night. Bo Said to Liu Bang, "Last night I dreamed of seeing the Dragon on the belly", and Liu Bang was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that this was Providence. Bo was really lucky and gave birth to Liu Heng soon after.

After Bo gave birth to Liu Heng, Liu Bang quickly snubbed Bo's mother and son because of the large number of beauties in the harem. Because Bo shi has no status and power in the palace, he is very careful in everything and never offends anyone. This later just avoided the political disaster, Liu Heng's mother and son were lucky to survive, and liu Heng was made the acting king when he was 7 years old, and Lü Hou actually treated Liu Heng's mother and son well.

After Lü Hou's death, great turmoil broke out in the imperial court. The lieutenant Zhou Bo and the chancellor Chen Pingren launched a mutiny, eradicating the Lü clan's power and taking control of the imperial government. So Zhou Bo and these ministers gathered together to discuss who would inherit the emperor's throne. Based on the consideration of their own interests, these people lined up one after another, believing that Liu Liu, the king of Huainan, was young and his mother's family was not good enough to be succeeded to the throne by him. And the other Liu clan relatives are not suitable. Finally, Zhou Boyi hammered the tone, "Liu Heng, the acting king, is the oldest among the sons of Emperor Gaozu, and is benevolent and filial, and the people in the mother's family are cautious and kind, and Liu Heng as the eldest son is originally righteous, so the emperor is the most suitable candidate."

Liu Heng never dreamed that he would be welcomed as emperor by Zhou Bo and others. When he first received the rumors of the messenger, he did not quite believe it, and deliberately took advantage of it, and the result was that "he should be the king of heaven." For the sake of safety, Liu Heng, the Acting King, sent people to inquire about it many times before leading his own group of men and horses to the capital and becoming his emperor.
