Who does Emperor Han Xian hate the most? Not Cao Dong? Who else?
In the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, even the emperor could not escape this turbulent time. Historically, the founding monarch has often been praised for his heroism, while the deceased monarch has often been called mediocre and incompetent.
But in the era of strongmen in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was a challenge for the emperor to keep his life alive, let alone make a difference. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was in a difficult situation. Since Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Empire has fallen into a pattern of eunuchs and relatives taking power alternately.
When Emperor Ling of Han was alive, the two parties were fairly balanced, but after the young Emperor Shao of Han succeeded to the throne, he was unable to balance the contradictions between the eunuch Shichang and his uncle He Jin, which eventually led to a palace mutiny. "
After the mutiny, Dong Zhuo became the biggest winner by entering Beijing on the order of He Jin. The ten permanent servants were killed, the general He Jin was also killed, and the imperial court was leaderless. Dong Zhuo's army took control of the situation in Luoyang, and the Han Shao Emperor Liu Wei was made a commonplace because of the support of the army.
After Dong Zhuo ascended the throne, he immediately renamed Liu Xie as the emperor and changed the Yuan Jian'an, and Liu Xie began his lifelong puppet career. Dong Zhuo then became the prime minister, although he was domineering, Liu Xie lived a fairly safe life, and he probably didn't hate Dong Zhuo in his heart, because he was promoted to emperor by Dong Zhuo.
However, this world has become a place where the weak eat the strong, and the warlords of the big families could not tolerate Dong Zhuo's power, so the Kwantung coalition led by the Yuan Shao brothers began to crusade against Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo was ultimately defeated in the Chang'an Rebellion, and he led the civil and military officials and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to flee all the way west to Chang'an. However, Dong Zhuo's brutality caused a lot of dissatisfaction, and he was finally killed under the conspiracy of Wang Yun and Lu Bu.
However, Wang Yun was a small person, and was eventually killed by Dong Zhuo's subordinate general, Li Dao Guo Yan, and the two of them were even bigger demons.
Under the brutal rule of Li Dao Guo Yan, Liu Xie's life was precarious, and he did not have the dignity that an emperor deserved. However, when he fled to Xuchang and was protected by Cao Cao, his fortunes began to change.
Cao Cao, praised as"The capable minister who rules the world, and the traitor of the troubled times", with his extraordinary ability and skill, gave Liu Xie a stable life and a trace of the dignity of the emperor.
However, he was still under Cao Cao's control, and it was not easy to get rid of Cao Cao's control, and even his own life could not be guaranteed, and his wife Dong Guifei and Empress Fu looked helpless and helpless when they were killed.
Although Liu Xie once almost killed Cao Cao, this also shows that he has a certain degree of autonomy, although this autonomy is minimal. Cao Cao once said, "Without Cao Cao, I don't know how many people will call the king and the emperor", and this sentence is also very true.
Emperor Xian's life was full of twists and turns, he relied on Dong Zhuo to ascend to the throne, relied on Cao Cao to avoid displacement, and the darkest moment of his life was in the hands of Li Dao Guo Yan, living a precarious life.
To sum up, Emperor Han Xian, as the last emperor, could not control his life, not because of his ability, but because the era could not be changed, he grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, and he could only watch his ancestors change hands, which made people feel very heartbroken.
However, his life was quite lucky, and he eventually died and lived his life peacefully.
