Talking about ancient and modern times, digging deep into the history of Hebei that you don't know, hello everyone, I am "Qing Shi Jun", welcome to pay attention to the "Qing Shi Guan", every day to bring you fresh, interesting, dry goods full of historical stories.
Today, we are talking for you about the story of Liu Yi, the Marquis of Liwu during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Liu Yi was a member of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the son of Liu Kai, the King of Hejian . The prince's fate took a turn in 119 AD, when Empress Dowager Deng Sui sent liu shou the prince of Jibei and liu kai the prince of Hejian to the capital to meet him, during which time the appearance of the handsome brother Liu Yi impressed Deng Sui, and she let Liu Yi stay in the capital and make him the heir of Liu Sheng, the king of the Plains.
Liu Sheng, the Prince of Huai of the Plains, and Liu Sheng, the King of Zhongshan of the Western Han Dynasty, had the same name, he was the eldest son of Liu Zhao, the Emperor of Han, and Liu Sheng died without leaving any heirs, so that he could continue the incense of his ancestors.
In 130 AD, Liu Kai, the king of Hejian, wrote to Liu Yi that he wanted to give Liu Yi the liwu county of his own country, and the emperor agreed, so Liu Yi became the marquis of Liwu, and his fief was in the area of present-day Lixian and Boye.
After Liu Yi's death, his son Liu Zhi inherited the title of Marquis of Liwu, and he was the future Emperor Huan of Han. Most of the emperors in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty were supported by powerful ministers and eunuchs, and the new emperors were young and had no real power, which led to the fall of power. In addition, the generals Liang Ji and Empress Deng had great influence on the government.
Because the new emperor died young and had not yet reached adulthood, many emperors did not leave heirs, so the new emperor could only be selected as the local king. In 146, Emperor Han was killed, and the general Liang Ji (梁冀) and empress dowager Liang Yuyi (梁妠一) decided to make Liu Zhi the Marquis of Liwu the new emperor.
At that time, there was still some controversy in the selection of a new emperor in the dynasty, and the courtiers wanted Liu Garlic, the king of Qinghe, to be emperor, but the eunuch Cao Teng pointed out that this person was strict and mature, and if he was made emperor, the situation would not be easy to master, and some meritorious families might also be affected. After weighing it up again, he suggested that the general Liang Ji make Liu Zhi emperor, because he was young and had no backstage behind him, which Liang Ji deeply believed.
Finally, in August 146, empress dowager Liang Ji sent Liang Ji to hold the festival and use Wang Qinggai to take Liu Zhi from present-day Baoding, Hebei to Luoyang Nangong, Liu Zhi was only less than 15 years old when he ascended the throne, and Empress Liang was still in charge of the government.
After Emperor Huan of Han succeeded to the throne, he posthumously honored his father Liu Yi as Emperor Xiaochong, and his mausoleum was close to Boshui, so it was called Boling. According to the custom of the time, the emperor ordered the formation of a new Boling County in Liwu County, which was under the jurisdiction of the Hejian State. In 158 AD, Boling County became the county seat of Hejian County, which was located in the village of Li in present-day Boye County, Hebei Province. The original name of Li Village was Li Village, and it was changed to Li Village for the convenience of writing.
In 942 during the Five Dynasties period, the Later Jin Emperor changed the name of Tang County to Boling County. The former site of Liwu Castle was eventually destroyed by floods, and it is said that there is still a little bit of earthen city wall ruins in today's Village, but the former style of the prince is gone.
