In the two Han Dynasties, the temple number can be described as a barometer reflecting the performance of an emperor, according to the additional standard of the temple number of Zu Youzong, only four emperors in the Western Han Dynasty have been confirmed to have temple numbers, these four people are Emperor Taizugao Liu Bang, Emperor Taizong Han Wen Emperor Liu Heng, Sejong Han Wu Emperor Liu Che, Zhongzong Han Xuan Emperor Liu Xun, but unlike the previous three emperors, Han Xuan Emperor Liu Xun's contribution is not small, but his popularity is very low.
Speaking of the Han Xuan Emperor Liu Xun's martial arts, his martial arts cannot be described as brilliant; during his tenure, he paid attention to lightening the people's burdens, restoring and developing agricultural production, cherishing the people's strength, and attaching importance to the rule of officials, and as a result, in the Han Xuan Emperor's Dynasty, "all the residents are rich, and they go to see the grace" and the so-called "old Han Dynasty Liang officials" appeared in the Han Xuan Emperor Dynasty, so that the situation was prosperous, called Zhongxing Yan; the external alliance with Wusun broke the Xiongnu, made the Xiongnu submit to the Xiongnu alone, set up the Western Regions Capital Protectorate, and brought all the countries in the Western Regions under the control of the Han Dynasty, and from then on, the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains belonged to the Territory of China, laying the map of China. In addition, during the reign of Emperor Xuan of Han, the whole country was politically clear, socially harmonious, economically prosperous, and the four Yi were obeyed, the officials were called their posts, the people were safe and their business, and the history was called the rule of Filial Piety, and the Book of Han even commented that the period of Emperor Xuan of Han was the period when the Western Han Dynasty was the strongest in force and the most prosperous in the economy, but the Han Xuan Emperor who could make such a great contribution was not known in future generations, why is this?
Pearl jade in front
There are five reasons for stealing, one of which is that in the past, Emperor Wu of Han created many firsts, such as facing the enemy xiongnu, the three decisive battles of the Han Wu Emperor period, the Battle of Henan, the Battle of Hexi, and the Battle of Mobei, which played the prestige of the Han Dynasty, although during the Han Xuan Emperor period the Xiongnu were only to show submission, but it was easier to remember for those who fired the first shot, as for the Han Xuan Emperor period, the inclusion of the western region was also realized on the basis of the development of the Han Wu Emperor period.
Tiger Father Dog Son
Emperor Xuan of Han chose the heir improperly, and Mr. Lu Simian, a historian, once said: "The rise and fall of the Han Dynasty should be bounded by Xuan and Yuan. That is to say, the main reason for the decline of the Western Han Dynasty was that Emperor Xuan of Han chose people improperly, in fact, emperor Xuan of Han had self-knowledge, and he once said that those who messed with my family were also princes. In addition, in addition to the heirs of the crown prince Liu Yi, the best heir in the heart of Emperor Xuan of Han was Liu Qin, the Xian King of Huaiyang, because Liu Qin, the Xian King of Huaiyang, was deeply favored by him, and most importantly, Liu Qin's governing philosophy was the same as that of Emperor Xuan of Han. Fu yue: "True my son also!" ”
However, out of guilt for his deceased wife, Emperor Xuan of Han knew that Liu Yi was not a qualified heir, and finally chose him, and as he expected, the powerful Han Dynasty began to decline. The failure to choose an heir affected the fame of Emperor Xuan of Han.
Ignored by the civil servant
The highest glory of the military generals we all know is feng wolf Juxu and Yanran Leshi, and Wenchen fantasizes that he can become a person like Yi Yin and Huo Guang, that is to say, Huo Guang is the benchmark of Wenchen, And Emperor Xuan of Han can only become a villain, but Emperor Xuan of Han himself does not have too much black spots, and the civil officials can only selectively ignore Emperor Xuan of Han.
Confucian banning
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the Hundred Schools of Confucianism, and for the next two thousand years Confucianism became the appointment criterion for emperors to govern the country, but Emperor Xuan of Han was not friendly to Confucianism, he opposed special Confucianism, and even said: Ordinary Confucianism is not up to date, it is good that the past is not the present, making people dazzled by the name, do not know what to keep, why appoint? Such words. If you offend Confucianism, Confucianism naturally wants to downplay his exploits.
Film and television oblivion
After all, studying history is a boring thing, so for ordinary people, most of the acquisition of historical knowledge is through cultural entertainment film and television works, but looking at the film and television works of these years, we can find that the film and television works about The Han Xuan Emperor are difficult to find a film and television work that is well known to the public in addition to the joke "Oolong Breaks through the Love".
Although Emperor Xuan of Han was not as well known in later generations as Emperor Wu of Han, if he liked history and understood history, once he came into contact with Emperor Xuan of Han, he would be impressed by his lifelong performance. Emperor Xuan of Han, do you xuan him?
