"Xuan" is a very good and very positive title in the ancient imperial title or temple number, generally given to the Lord of Zhongxing, or the Holy Good Zhouwen, the imperial name is greatly publicized, anyway, the more accomplished kings have this title or temple number. But if we look at history, since the introduction of temple numbers in the Han Dynasty, there has been a miraculous discovery, but after the death of the emperor with the temple number or temple number "Xuan", this regime or dynasty will quickly decline?
Of course, Emperor Xuan here refers to the title after the death of the king who really reigned as a country, and the title of Emperor Xuan of Jin like Sima Yi was posthumously posthumously by his grandson, and Sima Yi himself had never been a king in his life, so he could not be counted in this list. Since the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, there have been not a few emperors with the title of "Xuan" in the past dynasties or the number of temples.
And after the death of Emperor Xuanzong and Emperor Xuan, the regime quickly declined, why? It is probably the Xuanzi itself that gives the lord of ZTE or the temple title of leading the country back to a powerful emperor, and this ZTE is often not too long,000, so it is easy to go back to the road of decay after that. Of course, there are also historical coincidences that fuel this,
Next, we will take stock of the historical stories of the rapid decline of the empire after Emperor Xuanzong and Emperor Xuan left office.
1. Emperor Xuan of Han
Emperor Xuan of Han, the most legendary emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, was also the last of the four emperors in the history of the Western Han Dynasty who enjoyed the temple number. Because of the scourge of the witches in the last years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the crown prince Liu Zhao was framed and forced to raise an army, which affected the whole family, Liu Zhao's wife and concubine and three sons and one daughter all died, only Liu Jin's son, Liu Jin's eldest son, Liu Jin, who was in infancy at the time, survived, that is, the folk saying that Liu Jin had been ill.
Liu Yi had already spent several years in prison, and then he was pardoned by Emperor Wu of Han, sent out of the palace by his loyal ministers, raised by his grandmother Shi Liangdi's mother's family Shi Jia, and then later pardoned by Emperor Wu, raised as a sinner in the court, and restored his status as a clan. At that time, Liu Yi did not like to stay in the deep palace, but liked to visit the people and experience the sufferings of the people's livelihood. Zhang He was originally a subordinate of Liu Zhao, so he had taken special care of Liu's illness, so Liu's illness had been able to grow up in the folk, but he was familiar with the history of the scriptures.
After that, Emperor Wu of Han died, the chancellor Huo Guang took power, and the Han Zhao Emperor Liu Fuling took the throne, but the Han Zhao Emperor died young, Huo Guang established Liu He as emperor, but Liu He's performance made Huo Guang extremely dissatisfied, and finally deposed Liu He and established Liu Yi as emperor, which was the later Han Xuan Emperor Liu Qing.
After Liu Qing took the throne, he waited for the opportunity, and after Huo Guang's death, he quickly seized power, quelled the chaos, cleaned up the Huo family's forces, and then rectified the administration of officials and expanded the territory. It was also during the period of Emperor Xuan of Han that the Han Dynasty was able to conquer the four seas, subdue the Xiongnu, break the Western Qiang, and encompass the entire Western Regions, it can be said that the Han Xuan Emperor Was very strong in martial arts, and in the middle of his reign, the Han Dynasty reached the strongest moment in history.
However, after Emperor Xuan of Han, the Western Han Dynasty quickly went into decline, and the successor, Emperor Yuan of Han, was weak and liked Confucianism and music, resulting in Confucianism replacing jurisprudence and Taoist thought, leaping into the Western Han Governing Philosophy, favoring eunuchs, resulting in the decline of imperial power, and the fall of power was gradually revealed in his hands. More importantly, his empress Wang Zhengjun, the foreign relatives brought out, became the gravediggers of the Western Han Dynasty, and since Emperor Xuan, the mighty Western Han Dynasty has been shaking for less than fifty years, and it has existed in name only.
2. Former Qin Xuanzhao Emperor
Although jian Jian was only called the King of Heaven all his life, but not the emperor, but his martial arts, in the chaotic sixteen kingdoms of chaos, can be called a great emperor, so it is also reasonable for the people to call him Emperor Jian Jian.
Jian Jian, who seized the throne in a coup d'état, reused Wang Meng after taking the throne, attached importance to agriculture, promoted sinology, appointed Han officials, pacified the civil unrest of the Xian people, and then fought on all sides, laying a great foundation in Jiangshan, during his reign, Wenzhi martial arts were excellent, and was revered as Xuanzhao Shengshi.
However, after the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Shuishui, the already unreliable rule of the Former Qin Empire collapsed in an instant, and the later Yan, Western Yan, Zhai Wei, Daiguo, Later Qin, Western Qin, And Former Liang countries were separated and independent, and Zhijian was killed by Yao Cang two years after the Battle of Shuishui. After that, his descendants, Gong Deng, and others could only resist in Longxi, and finally after ten years, they were destroyed by Later Qin.
It should be known that the territory of the Former Qin Empire in the most powerful period was even larger than the territory of the Sui Dynasty, but after the death of Jian Jian, only Yongcheng and Longxi were left for hundreds of miles.
3. Emperor Xuanwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty
Emperor Xuanwu of Northern Wei, Emperor Yuan Ke of northern Wei, was the son of the famous Emperor Xiaowen and a generation of emperors of northern Wei who turned from prosperity to decline. After Emperor Xuanwu ascended the throne, the Northern Wei Dynasty was still in the ascendancy, and its expansion of Luoyang City made Luoyang surpass the Southern Dynasty Jiankang and become the world's largest city, with the reputation of Luoyang in the world.
At the same time, Yuan Ke, on the basis of his father Emperor Xiaowen, further strengthened Sinicization and attached importance to Buddhism, consolidating Northern Wei's rule in the Central Plains. On the other hand, the southern conquest of the northern war began, the north further repelled the resurgence of Rouran, and the south attacked Yizhou, seizing a large area of land, and the territory of Northern Wei reached its peak in the middle of the Yuan Ke.
However, in the later period of his reign, Yuan Ke began to reuse the courtiers, resulting in the monopoly of foreign relatives Gao Zhao, the increasingly serious corruption in the country, the political situation gradually going dark, and the abolition of the "death of the son and the noble mother" system laid an important bane for the demise of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
After Yuan Ke's death, there was soon an incident of Empress Dowager Hu's chaotic government, and 13 years after her death, that is, in 528, Erzhu Rong launched the Heyin Rebellion, and since then, the Northern Wei imperial family has never held real power, even if it split into the Eastern and Western Wei dynasties for more than ten years, the Northern Wei imperial family is only a puppet.
4. Emperor Xuan of Northern Zhou
Northern Zhou Xuan Emperor Yuwen Yun, the son of Zhou Wu Emperor Yuwen Yong, was also an important figure in the fall of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Northern Zhou in the Zhou Wu Emperor Yuwen Yong era, extremely powerful, sitting on Bashu, Three Qin and Longxi, but also destroyed the powerful Northern Qi in the east, the world is very six or seven, but after Yuwen Yun took the throne,
Indulging in wine, tyrannical and absurd, overhauling palaces, indiscriminate punishment, monitoring ministers. A number of empresses were successively canonized, and folk women were recruited to enrich the harem. Moreover, the suppression of the clan and the killing of the clan members caused the Northern Zhou foreign relatives to gradually grasp the authority, and after their excessive indulgence and early death, Yang Jian quickly grasped the Northern Zhou Jiangshan with the status of his daughter Yang Lihua, and finally skillfully seized the Northern Zhou Jiangshan.
5. Tang Xuanzong
Tang Xuanzong Li Chen, the best example of a politician who knows how to be wise and foolish and hide his sharp edges, is also the last Ming Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, known as Xiao Taizong. Before Tang Xuanzong ascended the throne, the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty were particularly powerful, arbitrarily deposing and even killing the king, which could be described as incomparably dark. In his early years, Tang Xuanzong did not ask about political affairs, showed a stupid appearance, did not have any ambition and ability, and was eventually selected as the king by the eunuchs who felt that there was no threat.
After taking the throne, he acted vigorously, reusing the virtuous courtiers, removing the eunuchs, rectifying the administration of officials, and restricting the clan and eunuchs, being diligent in government affairs, and being good at employing people. After Li Chen's governance, the Tang Dynasty was on the right track for the last time. Defeat Tubo, recover Hehuang, and stabilize the north of Saibei and pacify Annam.
At the same time, the centralization of power was strengthened, and the feudal towns were restricted, resulting in the annexation of the world, and the Tang Dynasty was relatively stable and prosperous during the Tang Xuanzong period, which was called the rule of Dazhong by later generations.
However, after Tang Xuanzong's deathbed, his son Tang Yizong Li Yizong took the throne, although he had two years of vigorous efforts to govern, but then began to covet pleasure, willful behavior, feasting, arrogance and lavishness, resulting in the people's unhappiness, the town of Fan successively out of central control, Datang has since gone to the abyss of unrecoverable disasters, and a peasant uprising that will take away the fate of Datang is about to break out.
6. Liao Xuanzong
Yelü Chun, an emperor during the chaotic period at the end of the Liao Dynasty, nephew of Emperor Daozong of Liao, Yelü Hongji, and cousin of Emperor Yelü Yanxi of Tianzuo. At the end of the Liao Dynasty, the commander of the Northeast Yan Akuta, Jurchen, rose up, and defeated the main force of the Great Liao in one fell swoop, and after three important battles, the Liao State was obviously difficult to resist the Jurchen Iron Horse.
With Shangjing and Zhongjing being breached one after another, Emperor Tianzuo fled northwest, dodging the front at Jiajin Mountain. In the face of such a situation, Yelü Chun, who remained in Nanjing, complied with the support of his courtiers, established himself as emperor, and sent envoys to pay tribute to the Jin kingdom and beg as vassals. At the same time, he submitted the national certificate to the Northern Song Dynasty, and offered to exempt the Yuanyuan Alliance from the agreed years, hoping to continue to maintain friendly relations with the Northern Song Dynasty, and wanted to resist the Jurchen army with all its strength.
However, the reply given by the Northern Song Dynasty was to send troops to Nanjing, and it was difficult for Yelü Chun to take care of the north and south, and after inevitably attacking the Northern Song army, he immediately died of illness in anxiety, and his name was Xuanzong. More than five months after his death, the Jin army captured Juyongguan and took the southern territory of Daliao, including Nanjing, in one fell swoop.
Since then, the Liao kingdom has returned to heaven without skill, and although there are many capable talents such as Yelü Dashi, it has become a foregone conclusion that it will perish.
7. Jin Xuanzong
Jin Xuanzong finished Yan Xun, the emperor of the late Jin Dynasty, the late Jin Dynasty, because of the turmoil in the dynasty, gradually declined, the powerful minister Hu Shahu poisoned the Wei Shao King after finishing Yan Yongji and supported Yan Xun as emperor, and the time point when Yan Xun took the throne was very bad, he was located in 1213, as we all know, the peak duel between Dajin and Mongolia, the Battle of Wild Fox Ridge occurred in 1211, due to the fiasco of the Jin Kingdom, the main army was almost lost, so it could only continue to beg for peace with Mongolia.
In 1214, after the Mengjin peace agreement was reached, Jin Xuanzong moved south to Beijing, and after the political center moved south, a large area of the northern territory was exposed to the Mongol iron horse, and then the Mongols invaded the Jin state on a large scale, gradually swallowing the northern territory of the Jin state, and soon took Zhongdu. That is, the current Beijing was lost, the Golden Kingdom was cut off, and the northeast, including Tokyo and Shangjing, was reduced to Mongolian fish.
Jin Xuanzong's foreign policy was in a mess, the treatment of Mongolia was weak, resulting in blindly moving the capital to avoid disasters, resulting in the loss of most of the land, treating the Southern Song Dynasty and western Xia strongly, resulting in the fact that after the Capital Ofajin moved the capital, there were no allies, it became the object of crusades among the nations, and there were frequent rebellions within, the country was in danger, if it were not for the fact that the northern Han people of the Jin State spontaneously organized armed resistance to Mongolia, the Jin Kingdom would have perished long ago.
Therefore, the trend is that ten years after the death of Yan Xun, the Jin Kingdom died in Mongolia.
8. Ming Xuanzong
Emperor Xuanzong of The Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanji, enjoyed the dividends of zhu yuanzhang, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaozi, and during his reign, the Ming Dynasty reached its peak. During his reign, he stopped the war of foreign expansion, paid attention to recuperating with the people, alleviated social contradictions, exerted great efforts to govern, and lightly dispensed with small gifts, the Ming Dynasty achieved prosperity during the Xuanzong period, and the ten years of Xuanzong's rule may be called the golden decade of the Ming Dynasty.
However, the prosperity of the pole will decline, the ancient Heavenly Reason, the end of the prosperous world is also in this period, Xuanzong Died young, the young Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen took the throne, in the early period because of the existence of Empress Zhang and Sanyang and others, the glory of the Ming Dynasty continued, but with the death of Empress Zhang and Sanyang, the Ming Dynasty fell into the hands of Wang Zhen and others.
The Transformation of the Civil Fort
With the misdeeds of Ming Yingzong and Wang Zhen, a farce of the imperial conquest immediately unfolded, Wang Zhen seduced Ming Yingzong to lead more than 200,000 Elite Ming Dynasty troops to march to Walla, and as a result, after a blind operation, all the elites of the Ming Dynasty were completely annihilated at Tumu Fort, and if it were not for Yu Qian defending the battle in Beijing, the Ming Dynasty might only have half of the country left after arriving at Tumu Fort. After the change of Tumu Fort, the Ming Dynasty's noble class was lost, and the civil officials took control of the overall situation from then on.
After that, displaced people rose up, becoming a problem that was difficult to cure for the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty declined from then on, and the prosperity ended here.
9. Qing Xuanzong
Emperor Xuanzong of the Qing Dynasty, known as the Daoguang Emperor, was the only emperor of the Qing Dynasty to inherit the throne as the eldest son of a concubine, the grandson of the Qianlong Emperor, and the eldest son of the Jiaqing Emperor. During his reign, although he made efforts to rectify the rule of officials, advocate frugality, sort out the salt administration, pass through shipping, and quell the Zhang Ge rebellion, the Daoguang Emperor did not eventually reverse the decline of the Qing Dynasty.
In the last year of Daoguang, the Opium War broke out again, and as the ironclad fleet of the British Empire exploded the closed Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty went to the end of its decline.
