Everyone knows that Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, was an emperor who failed to hold his throne, and under the coercion of some ministers, he gave up the throne to Cao Pi. But compared to other kings of the dead country, he was lucky, at least his life was saved.
In October 220 AD, Cao Pi ascended the throne and gave Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty the title of "Duke of Shanyang", and gave the former emperor a more generous treatment: 10,000 households, located on the princes and kings, not called ministers, edicted not worshipped, and served the world with the Son of Heaven's chariot, and the sect was like the Han system.
Just when Liu Xie set off for his fiefdom Shanyang City, Cao Pi also said with a very good attitude: "The treasure of the world, I have it with Shanyang public." ”
I really don't know what Liu Xie's mood was when he heard this? Did he smile at the new emperor who succeeded him?
Liu Xie's Shanyang City is today's Jiaozuo City, Henan Province, Liu Xie's enclosure in this place, there is a very important reason because this place is relatively close to Luoyang, the capital of Cao Wei, which is more convenient to monitor, in addition, Liu Xie has a prince who was once named "King of Shanyang".
Liu Xie's ability to save his life is largely related to the fact that he is Cao Cao's son-in-law, Liu Xie took Cao Cao's three daughters, and the second daughter Cao Jie is still the queen. It is said that Cao Jie is a fierce woman, and after Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, he asked Queen Cao for the queen's seal, and Cao Jie threw the seal under the railing, and scolded: "God has eyes, and will never let you last long." ”
And this sentence seems to be a prophecy, Cao Pi's emperor really only worked for six years and died.
So, how did Liu Xie, who gave up the emperor's throne, spend the rest of his life? Liu Xie's choice is really admirable, he has become a doctor who hangs the pot to help the world.
Liu Xie used the medical skills he learned in the palace to go to the countryside and villages to treat the people with their illnesses, and the common people called Liu Xie and Cao Jie "Dragon and Phoenix Doctors". It is said that Henan people still have the tradition of respecting the old Chinese medicine and respecting them as a gentleman, which began with Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty.
As an emperor, Liu Xie was pathetic, but as a doctor, he was very successful. In order to thank Liu Xie for his kindness in curing the disease and saving people, the people in Jiaozuo area built a temple for him, and also formed many folk customs: for example, Jiaozuo folk called "grandfather" and "grandmother" for "Wei Gong" and "Wei Po", and doctors do acupuncture and cupping in the countryside without charge, and they can be credited or owed for Chinese herbal medicine, but they cannot bargain, which is said to be the old rules left by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
In 234 AD, Liu Xie, the Duke of Shanyang, died of illness, at this time, Cao Pi had been dead for several years, and Cao Rui was in power, that is, Emperor Wei Ming. The Cao family was kind to this Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and buried Liu Xie with the specifications and etiquette of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and was called the Emperor of Filial Piety, and his mausoleum was called the Zen Mausoleum.
