Liu Hu (April 30, 94 125), the grandson of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, the son of Liu Qing, the filial piety king of Qinghe, and his mother Zuo Xiao'e, the sixth emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, reigned for 19 years.

When Emperor An of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, the Eastern Han Dynasty court was troubled internally and externally, and everything was difficult. First of all, the Hexi Emergency News, the countries of the Western Regions were dissatisfied with the harsh government of Ren Shang, who served as the protector of the Western Regions after Ban Chao left office, and rebelled against the Han one after another. Then came the Qiang uprising, which lasted for 11 years and cost a lot of money, which greatly damaged the vitality of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In the fourth year of Yanguang (125 years), Emperor An of Han went south to Wancheng and returned to Beijing after illness. In March, he died in a car on the way back to Beijing, and died in Chinese New Year's Eve. Buried in Gongling, nicknamed Emperor Xiao'an.

So today, let's talk about the short imperial life of Liu Hu, the emperor of Xiao'an during the Eastern Han Dynasty of China, let's take a look.

A brief biography of Emperor Liu Hu of Xiao'an during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Ascended to the throne at a young age. In the sixth year of Yongyuan (94), Liu Hu was born in Ganling County, Qinghe State (now Linqing, Shandong).

In the first year of Yanping (106), Emperor Han died unfortunately. Empress Dowager Deng conspired with her brother Deng Qiu, a chariot general, and decided to welcome Liu Hu, the son of Liu Qing, the filial piety king of Qinghe. Liu Hu was 13 years old and was the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. In the second year, the era name was changed to "Yongchu".

In the second year of the early Yuan Dynasty (115), the noble Yan Ji was appointed as the queen. In the first year of Yongning (120), the crown prince Liu Bao was appointed as the crown prince.

The Queen Mother is in power. At this time, although Liu Hu was the emperor, the actual power of government affairs was still in the hands of Empress Dowager Deng and Deng Qiu. Empress Dowager Deng relied on the eunuch Hou Zheng Zhong and Shang Fang Ling Cai Lun. Seeing that the government was controlled by relatives and eunuchs, the courtiers gathered a group of bureaucrats and doctors who were also dissatisfied with this, and prepared to launch a coup d'état, killing Deng Qiu, Zheng Zhong and Cai Lun, deposing the empress dowager and Emperor An of Han, and appointing Liu Sheng, the king of the plains, as emperor. The news accidentally leaked, and the Empress Dowager Deng preemptively suppressed the rebellion.

In the first year of Yongning (120 years), Emperor An of Han was twenty-six years old, and Dugen played the Empress Dowager, saying that Emperor An of Han had reached adulthood and should handle government affairs independently. When Empress Dowager Deng heard this, she was furious and ordered Du Gen to cover his head and face with a cloth bag, kill him with a stick, and then throw his body outside the city. Deng Kang, the younger brother of the Queen Mother and the captain of the Yue Cavalry, also persuaded him to retire to the deep palace and no longer interfere in political affairs. Empress Dowager Deng remained stubborn. Deng Kang saw that the Queen Mother did not accept the advice, saying that he was ill. Empress Dowager Deng was furious, dismissed Deng Kang from office, and expelled Deng Kang from his clan.

However, among the several powerful foreign relatives groups in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Deng's performance was relatively good. Empress Dowager Deng rewarded the relevant ** with the merit of Emperor Li'an's decision, of course, including Deng Qiu, and added 3,000 households. The Deng brothers refused to give in, so that when the envoy came, they hid, and finally had to give up. In normal times, the Deng brothers are also cautious, law-abiding, and diligent in royal affairs. This is of course related to the strict requirements that Empress Dowager Deng has for her family. But even so, it could not eliminate the sharp contradictions between the imperial power and the forces of foreign relatives.

The eunuchs were in turmoil. In the first year of Jianguang (121), Empress Dowager Deng died, and Emperor An of Han was in power. On the day of Wushen in March, his father Liu Qing, the filial piety king of Qinghe, was posthumously honored as the emperor of filial piety, his mother Zuo Xiao'e was the queen of filial piety, and his grandmother Song Guiren was the queen of Jingyin. At this time, a group of eunuchs headed by Wang Sheng, Zhonghuangmen, and Jiang Jing had been formed around Emperor An of the Han Dynasty. Emperor An of the Han Dynasty had long been dissatisfied with being subject to the status of the Empress Dowager Deng, whose death was tantamount to a political liberation for him. Soon after the death of the Empress Dowager, several officials who had previously been punished by the Empress Dowager falsely accused the Empress Dowager's brothers Deng Kui, Deng Hong, and Deng Lu of conspiring to depose Emperor An of Han and set up the King of Pingyuan as emperor. This false accusation was in the arms of Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, Deng Kui and others were sentenced to death for the crime of treason, and Deng Qiu was dismissed from office and returned to the county because he did not know, and was forced to die by the county officials. Because Deng Qiu was innocent and killed, the ministers were not convinced, and Zhu Pet, the chief farmer, spoke up and complained about his grievances. In order to appease the grievances of the **, Emperor An of the Han Dynasty pretended to condemn the state and county**, and ordered Deng Qiu to be properly buried.

In the struggle between relatives and eunuchs, the eunuch group once again gained power. Emperor An of the Han Dynasty named Jiangjing as the marquis of the capital and Li Yan as the marquis of Yongxiang. Emperor Han An's nursing mother Wang Sheng and her daughter Borong were even more pampered, living a luxurious life, entering and leaving the palace casually, interfering in political affairs, and doing all kinds of evil. Bo Rong once went to the Han Gan Mausoleum, and hugged him along the way, and the county ** sandwiched the road to greet and send him off. Some county guards and princes even bowed to Borong's chariot.

During this period, the contradictions between the bureaucracy and the eunuchs became increasingly acute, and the courtiers represented by Yang Zhen repeatedly asked Emperor Han An to restrain and punish the eunuchs who were arrogant, but Emperor Han An always ignored them. The eunuchs who were exposed took the opportunity to make false accusations, and finally Yang Zhen was forced to commit suicide.

Harem fights for the throne. Just when internal and external troubles were raging, the palace began a desperate struggle for the right to inherit the throne. Empress Yan of Emperor An of Han was barren for many years, and in the first year of Yongning (120 years), Liu Bao, the son of Emperor Li of Emperor Han'an, became the crown prince. The Li clan had been killed by Empress Yan before this. Empress Yan was afraid that the crown prince would pursue the revenge of killing her mother after she ascended the throne, and she was bent on removing Liu Bao. Empress Yan colluded with Fan Feng and other eunuchs to first condemn the prince's nurse Wang Nan and the kitchen supervisor Bing Ji to death, remove the prince's wings, and then slandered Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, saying that Liu Bao's behavior was too evil and it was not suitable to be the crown prince. Emperor An of Han favored Empress Yan, so he had the heart to abolish it. The abolition of the crown prince had to be discussed by the ministers, and the general Geng Bao adhered to the will of Empress Yan and advocated the deposition of Liu Bao. Taichang Huanyan and Tingwei Zhang Hao retorted: "Life is not yet fifteen years old, and the evil has not yet reached the body, I hope that Your Majesty will choose a virtuous and virtuous master for the prince, counsel with etiquette and righteousness, and naturally behave properly." It's just that Emperor An of Han didn't realize it, and actually deposed Liu Bao and named him the king of Jiyin.

Internal and external difficulties. In the second year of Yanguang (123), news was spread in the west, and the Northern Xiongnu and Che Division joined forces to attack the four counties of Hexi. The ministers all advocated abandoning the Western Regions and retreating to the Yumen Pass. Only the Dunhuang Taishou Zhang Dangli, who returned to the capital from the frontier to report the situation, also believed that the Western Regions had belonged to the Han Dynasty for a long time, and it would lose the hearts of the people if he gave up easily, so it was better to set up a school captain in Dunhuang and increase the strength of the four counties in Hexi to resist the invasion of the Xiongnu. Emperor An of the Han Dynasty adopted the opinions of Zhang Dang and Chen Zhong, and sent Ban Yong, the son of Ban Chao, to be the chief of the Western Regions and lead 500 soldiers out of Tunliu Zhongcheng. After Ban Yong arrived in the Western Regions, he relied on the military support of the four counties of Hexi and the vassal states of the Western Regions to repel the Xiongnu and subdue the Che Division, so that the traffic between the Central Plains and the Western Regions was smooth again.

While the frontier is eventful, the country has also suffered disasters year after year, and people's hearts are fluctuating. In the year of Emperor Han'an's accession to the throne, there were 18 counties**, 41 counties were hit by floods, and 28 counties were hit by storms and hail.

In the third year of Yanguang (124 years), there was a ** in the capital and 23 counties, and 36 counties were flooded and hailed, and the people were miserable.

He died of a serious illness. In the fourth year of Yanguang (125 years), Emperor An of the Han Dynasty took Empress Yan and his relatives to the south to play, Gengshen in March, arrived in Wancheng, suddenly fell ill, his body was cold and hot, and he was seriously ill, so he had to order to return to Beijing. In March, he arrived in Yexian (now south of Yexian County, Henan Province), and was already in a dying state. He wanted to tell the future, but he couldn't speak, so he could only stare at the queen with his eyes open, and slowly died in the car, at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve two. The queen did not dare to announce the news of Emperor An's death to the public, and the place of eating and asking about living was the same as usual. Geng returned to the palace at noon. Xin Wei mourned at night. Buried in Gongling, the temple name Gongzong, the name of Emperor Xiao'an.

In the first year of Chuping (190), there was a Si Song invitation, Emperor Han He, Emperor Han An, Emperor Shun of Han, and Emperor Huan of Han had no merit and should not be called a sect; and Gong Huai Queen, Jing Yin Queen, and Gong Chu Queen are not the main concubines, and if they are not titled, please remove their honorific titles. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty issued an edict saying, "Yes."

Extended information: The unjustly deposed crown prince: After more than 20 years, Salted Fish turned over, and three emperors were born.

The political struggle in ancient China was very cruel, generally speaking, it was difficult for those deposed crown princes to die well, even if they survived, they and their descendants would definitely stay away from the troubles of **. But in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was such a crown prince, although he was wrongfully deposed, but more than 20 years later, he ushered in the opportunity to turn over, his son, grandson, great-grandson all became emperors, what is going on?

Things have to start with the third emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Han Zhang. Although Emperor Zhang of Han had seven sons, all of them were concubines. However, due to Emperor Zhang's adoptive mother Empress Ma (Ma Yuan's daughter), Liu Qing, the third son born to Song Guiren, was made the crown prince. It turned out that Song Guiren's aunt was the grandmother of Empress Dowager Ma. Therefore, Empress Dowager Ma brought the two Song Guiren sisters into the palace, personally instructed them, and then sent them to the palace of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty.

Song Guiren was very favored and gave birth to Liu Qing in 78. Song Guiren is very sensible, "worship Changle Palace, and give food", so Empress Dowager Ma felt very sorry for her, but this caused the dissatisfaction of Queen Dou! Dou was born in a famous family, she is Dou Rong's great-granddaughter, and her mother is Princess Yuyang, so she conspired with her mother to frame Song Guiren. Since the Western Han Dynasty, the emperor has always been disgusted with witchcraft, and Empress Dou framed the Song nobles for witchcraft, "destroying witchcraft day and night".

After a long time, Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty began to alienate the mother and son of the Song nobles. In 82 AD, Empress Dou framed the Song nobles again, and the eunuch Cai Lun came forward to confirm it, so Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty issued an order to abolish the crown prince Liu Qing and set up the fourth son Liu Zhao as the crown prince. Under the persecution of Empress Dou, the Song Guiren sisters committed suicide by taking poison. Although Liu Qing is young, "he knows how to avoid suspicion and fear, and he dare not speak as much as the Song family." Emperor Zhang of Han also took pity on this child, so he let him and the new crown prince Liu Zhao often be together.

Liu Zhao is very good to the third brother Liu Qing, and the two "enter the same room, and go out to the same public". After Emperor Liu Zhao of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, Liu Qing received the highest courtesy, "the kings are incomparable, and often discuss private matters together". When Liu Qing lived in the Qinghe Palace, Emperor Han He "gave 300 slaves and maids, horses, money and silk, curtains, treasures, and good play." Although he received the favor of the emperor, Liu Qing was still cautious, "Every time he goes to the mausoleum temple, he is dressed strictly at night, and he is dressed well; Officials and subordinates shall not compete with the kings' chariots."

In 106, Emperor He of the Han Dynasty died of illness, and Liu Qing, the king of Qinghe, "wept in the front hall, vomited several liters of blood, and became ill." At the suggestion of Emperor He's Empress Deng, Liu Long, the youngest son of Emperor He, ascended the throne, that is, Emperor Han Yan. At the same time, Liu Qing, the king of Qinghe, was ordered to leave Beijing and go to his fiefdom Qinghe. However, Liu Qing's wife Geng Ji and son Liu Hu did not leave, but stayed in Luoyang City at the behest of the Empress Dowager Deng. It turned out that Empress Dowager Deng thought that Emperor Han was still in infancy, and she was afraid that something would happen.

As expected by the Empress Dowager Deng, Emperor Han died young! The Empress Dowager Deng and her brother Deng Qiu were the masters, and Liu Hu, the son of Liu Qing, the king of Qinghe, was appointed as the emperor, that is, the Emperor of Han An. In 82 AD, Liu Qing was deposed as King of Qinghe, and by 106 his son became emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Twenty-four years later, Liu Qing finally turned over, and the throne that should have belonged to him has now fallen into the hands of his son. Four months later, Liu Qing, the king of Qinghe, who had been ill for a long time, died of illness at the age of twenty-nine.

In 121 AD, Emperor An of the Han Dynasty was in power, and he did not forget the hatred of his grandmother being killed and his father being abolished, and immediately aimed the spearhead of revenge at the eunuch Cai Lun, who was the one who improved papermaking. Cai Lun did not want to be humiliated and chose to commit suicide. After Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Bao of Han Shun and Emperor Liu Bing of Han Chong ascended the throne successively, both of whom were descendants of Liu Qing, King of Qinghe. In other words, although King Qinghe did not become emperor, his three descendants became emperors.

Emperor An of the Han Dynasty collapsed, and the Empress Dowager Yan Ji demoted Geng Bao and Geng Cheng to the rank of Pavilion Marquis, sent them to the country, and forced Geng Bao to commit suicide on the way, and the country was removed. After Emperor Shun of Han ascended the throne, Yang Jia gave Geng Bao's son Geng Ji as the Marquis of Muping and Shizhong, Geng Heng as the Marquis of Yangting, and Geng Cheng as the general of Yulin Zhonglang.
