When it comes to Liu Ai, the monarchs who like history immediately think of this "meritorious ancestor, inheritance for future generations" of the lord of Zhongxing - Liu Xun, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty (renamed Xun after the illness has succeeded to the throne).
Liu Xun reigned for a total of 25 years, during his reign, because of his adoption of the national policy of resting with the people, after more than 20 years to restore the Han Dynasty after years of war has withered national strength, so that the Han Dynasty's national strength reached its peak, later generations called this history "the rule of filial piety", and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty also became the master of the history of the two Han Dynasty.
However, such an eloquent and strategic lord chose the wrong prince, which not only made his great cause of Zhongxing come to naught, but the more serious problem was that the regime of the Han Dynasty has been declining step by step. And the person who brought the Han Dynasty to decline was his eldest son, the future Emperor Liu Zheng of the Han Yuan Dynasty.
The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, but changed the system of Qin Shi Huang not appointing the crown prince, from the Han Gaozu Liu Bangli prince Liu Ying to the death of the Western Han Dynasty, the imperial throne of the Western Han Dynasty was inherited by the crown prince. After Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun succeeded to the throne, he ordained the eight-year-old Liu Xun as the crown prince in the third year of the Dijie (67 BC).
Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun belongs to the "ancient heroic and tribulation" figure, he was involved in the "rebellion" of his grandfather Prince Liu when he was an infant and was imprisoned, and his childhood was raised in prison. When Liu Xun was five years old, because the superstitious Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty listened to the words of the diviners, he was almost executed in the name of having a son of heaven in the prison.
After the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the six-year-old crown prince Liu Fuling became the heir to the throne as Emperor Zhao. Since Emperor Zhao of Han died at the age of nineteen, the powerful minister Huo Guang appointed his brother's son Liu He, the king of Changyi, as emperor. Only twenty-seven days after Liu He succeeded to the throne, he was deposed by Huo Guang's granddaughter Empress Dowager Shangguan due to many mistakes. Because of this, Liu Xunfang was able to be introduced by Bingji and recognized by Huo Guang and became the heir to the throne.
Huo Guang was in Japan, and the major events of the Han Dynasty were approved by Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, all of which were handled by Huo Guang. As soon as Huo Guang died, Emperor Xuan of Han immediately took over the military power of the Huo family, and then exterminated the three Huo families who tried to rebel with a thunderbolt.
Due to the great efforts of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty quickly moved towards Zhongxing under his careful governance for more than 20 years, and the Xiongnu troubles that endangered the safety of the Han Dynasty for a hundred years were almost completely solved in the hands of Emperor Xuan. Historians call the rule of filial piety Xuanzhi as "the ancestor of Gongguang, the industry will be in the future, it can be described as Zhongxing, Yude Shangzong, Zhou Xuanyi!" ”
Liu Zheng was born to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and his wife Xu Pingjun at the end of the year. Liu Zheng was born smart and inherited the genes of his mother's kind personality, a person with such a character must be a good person, but a good person has no decisive and quick means in case of trouble, so such a person may not be a good ruler, and Liu Zheng also has a fatal weakness and soft ears.
Because Liu Zheng was born close to Confucianism, he did not understand his father's practice of governing the country with fierceness, so he repeatedly advised his father to use Confucianism more. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was very dissatisfied with this, and severely reprimanded Liu Zheng in public. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty said: "The Han family has its own system, and it is supposed to be a tyrant. However, it is purely moral education, and Zhou Zhenghu is used! And the vulgar Confucianism is not up to the time, but it is good that the past is not the present, which makes people dazzled into the name and reality, and they don't know what to keep, how to appoint! And for this reason, he sighed: "Whoever messes with my family will be the prince!" For this reason, Emperor Xuan once moved the idea of Yi Chu.
Zhang Jieyu's son Liu Qinku, the king of Huaiyang, is the father, and Emperor Xuan often says, "The king of Huaiyang is really my son!" But Emperor Xuan considered that in the end, he still thought that Liu Zheng was the death of himself and Xu Pingjun when he was at the end of his life, and Xu Pingjun was killed by the Huo family, so Emperor Xuan did not abolish Liu Zheng's crown prince in the end.
When Emperor Xuan was dying, he was still not worried about the prince, so he appointed his cousin Shi Gao as the great Sima, the general of the chariot cavalry, and the secretary of Lu Shangshu, the crown prince Xiao Wangzhi, and the young master Zhou Kan to assist Liu Zheng. Liu Zhengchuzheng, with the assistance of the three of them, still has something remarkable.
Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty has a favored eunuch Shi Xian by his side, this guy is very good at figuring out Liu Zheng's thoughts, he is simply a roundworm in Emperor Yuan's belly. So he became the most trusted person of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty.
Xiao Wangzhi was originally the teacher of Emperor Yuan, and Emperor Yuan also respected him very much. Shi Xian had long wanted to get rid of him, but he didn't have a chance. Once Emperor Yuan was sick, Shi Xian, who found Xiao Wangzhi's small shoes, took the opportunity to frame him, and the ridiculous thing was that Emperor Yuan didn't even know that he was going to prison or being arrested in prison, so he approved Shi Xian's application in a daze. Xiao Wangzhi is a contemporary Confucian, he pays attention to his face all his life, how can such a person face the sword and pen, so he chose to commit suicide by taking poison.
got rid of Xiao Wangzhi, Shi Xian extended his ** to Zhou Kan, and believed it after falsely accusing Emperor Yuan several times, Zhou Kan and others were not only dismissed from their posts, but also imprisoned for life.
Since then, hundreds of officials have seen Shi Xian all respectful and respectful, and since then, Shi Xian and Honggong have completely mastered the power of the DPRK and China, and Shi Xian alone has asked for bribes of more than 100 million yuan, and the Han industry has declined since then.
People with soft ears dote on their wives, although Emperor Han Yuan does not like Wang Zhengjun, but Wang Zhengjun's son-in-law Liu Biao was born to him, Emperor Xuan often put Liu Biao on his body in Japan, because of this, after Emperor Han Yuan succeeded to the throne, Wang's family entered the court as officials under the promotion of him and the queen Wang Zhengjun, Wang Zhengjun's nephew Wang Mang was also introduced into the court and gradually became noble, it can be said that this is the bane of Emperor Han Yuan who planted the country.
